Michael Buble crushes Celine Dion in Christmas special showdown

 

That's a ridiculous article -- using the word "crushed" when the ratings were so close.... Why do they want to spin it negatively?

 

She got some great ratings, it actually seems! And her performances will live on in the land of the Internet.

Michael Buble crushes Celine Dion in Christmas special showdown

 

EW never really liked Celine

I don't think tv show was crushed... Viewers numbers are quite close (just 100.000 difference between Celine and bubble and X factor!) but demographic is different: younger for Bubble and lord for Celine. Isn't it actually good album wise. In respect if the single I agree that's not so good though

 

"Buble’s special and X Factor tied, with both shows getting 5 million viewers and a 1.3 rating. That’s an all-time low for a Wednesday night episode of Factor, down 52 percent in the demo from last year.

 

Dion hit a very low note for a network like CBS. The singer tied the CW’s special, with 4.9 million viewers and a mere 0.6 rating (read: her special drew plenty of older viewers, but not too many in the 18-49 demo)."

I'll say one thing. That explains why the downloads didn't jump up for Incredible. Older demographic.

 

Id say they hit the full spectrum of potential buyers over the two days.

 

Lets hope the oldies buy the CD

I never even knew the song the orchestra was playing........

True. Comparatively Gaga Special was viewed by 4.6 million so Celine got more viewers overall.

Exactly. Same thoughts.

That's amazing.

 

I didn't anticipate a ton of viewers for the CBS Special. So I was happy so many tuned in. And I can only imagine this will increase the physical sales of the album -- although it won't have a big impact on digital sales, since it was an older crowd.

Indeed viewers have dramatically decreased, but I believe that this is the same for most of TV Special shows. I don't have figures but I assume so due to numerous channels there are now and less viewers the big 3 have (abc cbs nbc) in comparison to the glorious 90s

The special was great! Its unfortunate that CBS messed up the "Didn't know love track" on TV, but it still sounded incredible as did the other songs. Hopefully, we will get a "real" one hour Celine Dion special like the Taking Chances Special in February.

The specil was great! knowing what todays audiance likes, (childish songs with no meaning, no-talent artists, who catch audience on their misbehaving, not the music...), who cares about the ratings, i'm glad we got this special, and Celine was in top form! quite liked "Incredible", they sounded great.

 

was Loved me back to life sang live? If so, she did a great job...

I compared this to the studio version and it was Ne-Yo who messed up the lyrics at the very end, not Celine.

 

Celine (without him):

Let's give them something amazing .....

I think the messing up sounds amazing. I knew they'd mess up, but I have played it a lot today and love the way it sounds. :P

The competition was huge and Celine did fine. I did not expect her to gather more viewers than X-Factor, but the fact that she surpassed Lady Gaga's numbers speaks for itself.

I look at it this way:

 

Celine only sang 4 songs

Michael Buble pretty much sang the entire show

 

If Celine sang more and did some Christmas songs, I think she and Buble would have performed the same. I also think another factor to take into consideration is the time slot. Celine was at 8:00 and Buble at 10:00. The viewership is much higher at later times.

 

After hearing her sing Didn't Know Love live, I actually started liking the song. I wish she sang it like that on the album. Incredible and Because You Loved Me were really good too!

I was just dying to see her performing 'Didn't Know Love' at least because of the 'i was lying, lying, lyiiiing' lines, i just love how she pronounces the last 'lying' :cry: :) And it's an amazing song of cos.

 

And seriosuly, why lipping LMBTL?? I just don't get it. Anyway, the special is good, she performed so well and looked good :)

Love comes to those who believe it...

Wowowow! Her performance of Incredible was AWESOME too!! Her voice was so freaking on point for that special. It makes me wonder why on earth lip one song and sing 3 live? It's just so weird. But overall the live performances were stunning.

I guess LMBTL is a tough song fr hr to perform live and people needed to hear what it really sounds like... because as you know nobody ever heard it on the radio in the US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely loved the show, but I would have preferred for her to open it with a song from TAST or another new ballad than LMBTL. It would have suited more the purpose/theme of the show IMO.

Lol I think she messed up first when she said 'lets give them' because she used the 'lets make them remember' melody so Ne-Yo threw in a 'remember' lol! I kinda like when stuff like this happens because Celine always holds her composure lol!

It's quite funny actually, that smile he gives :laugh:

Here, they say that Celine and Buble's difference is even lower: just 90k apart and not 100,000.

 

http://tvseriesfinal...-walters-31019/

but i understand their thinking..it is true that when you grow older, the less publicity will affect you. I'm 46 and i buy what i need, when i need it. But the program was good for Celine i'm sure. Older people can decide they need the cd, and it could be good for her Vegas shows also..

hahaha they just cant get their lyrics right can they! but this performance was 10,000 times better than the voice - the major change they've made for the better is singing the 1st 'incredible' together instead of seperately - muuuuch more poweful! really good move - and yeah the mess up at the end did work. she was muuuuch more comfortable here ! thats what im talking about!!! more movement! and she looked way better than on the voice.

If you listen to the snippet of Didn't Know Love in that video (at 1:02), you'll see she's perfectly in sync with the music:

So, yes it's a problem with the sound edit, in the broadcast version. The voice track was not well synchronised with the band tracks.

 

Yeah, so unfortunate that the post-production editing was off and that's what we saw during broadcast.

The "Didn't Know Love" clip they showed during the "CBS: This Morning" interview was perfectly fine!

 

@niko - The YouTube video you embedded does not allow us to view cause we're out of the country :(
