Hunty, the decade IS ABOUT TO END and Céline only gave us 1 english album in 8 years, and it is till date her biggest flop...Both Madonna and Mariah have released more albums than her...the 2010s decade without a doubt is Céline's worst decade when it comes to commercial success since we're 2 years from the next decade and she ain't got a single certification in the biggest musical market, not even 1

 

Don’t forget in this decade she also had twins, started a new residency, took a year and a half off to be with Rene, then grieving for him which massively affected her voice, Aldo leaving, and finding herself having to make all final decisions, as well as the mini tours and releasing 2 French and 1 English album. Give her a break please. You make it sound like she’s done bugger all.

Celine has always been a live singer before a studio singer. She says this herself. After all these years why does it still surprise people?! Enjoy a new album if and whenever they come out. Please don’t pin her career etc on the next release because she’s beyond all that now. She’s made her career, her name, now let’s enjoy everything she chooses to share with us. As fans. ❤️

People should be a bit more informed before posting nonsense. LMBTL has sold more than Rebel Heart and more than Mariah Carey two latest albums together. LMBTL was certified platinum in UK, 2xplatinum in France and 4xplatinum in Canada, and gold in a few other markets. LMBTL single was also her highest entry in UK since ANDHC era. If you compare commercial success Celine has been way more successful in the 2010s than any of her peers. And yes I include her French albums as new material, because that's what they are. And despite of being nonexistent to the GP they managed to sell also more.

I said "BIGGEST MUSICAL MARKET", none of these you cited are, Céline's still with 0 certifications in the USA this decade, she never did so bad

She doesn't need a break of singing and SHE KNOWS THAT, recording an album for her could last like a few days, she ain't worried about how hard it is because IT'S NOT HARD since she doesn't do her own s***, otherwise I'd really understand

“Normal” people only get 3 days off work to grieve the passing of a close relative.

 

Nobody can get 1 year and a half break from a job to take care of your partner (unless you work for the public administration and have some privileges).

 

I think we’re going a bit far with this simpathy for Celine, when it’s obvious she could have all the time she wanted for it, unlike the rest of “normal” people with normal jobs and they just have to resume and get on with their lives within days of it

 

She didn’t have to come back and could have just retired. We must be glad and be appreciative about that, but she hasn’t done anything extraordinary about it, please.

Normal people only 3 days?? Wow didn’t realise I was abnormal. I had 2 weeks the first time and 3 weeks the second. And even then your grieving continues.

I don’t remember using the word extraordinary. I think she dealt with it brilliantly though, considering she did it in the public eye. I can sympathise and clearly understand what she went through, and is still going through.

In the US, the Family Medical Leave act allows you 12 weeks per year (unpaid) to care for a family member, with no danger of losing your job.

Fortunately I have not been in that situation before myself, but I don't think there are many people who in her circumstances if it was in any way a possibility would have done anything different. Of course you would drop everything for your loved ones. And you make a very good point, this is very public for her and that puts a whole other dimension on the matter.

[isurrender]

Omg but Céline is not normal : she is a star! She can do whatever she wants to. Just like other stars of her status. or even less.

 

now people require she does things!

 

2018 brought some ppl insanity.

 

Please go bother Paris Hilton.

 

This topic really needs cleaning up and mod.

You don’t need to use capital letters, I got your reasoning. So an artist is only successful if she gets certified in USA? That’s what you are saying? Should artists from other countries move to USA or just stop recording music because they are not successful in USA?

 

Celine is a global act with very loyal countries (UK is the 3rd biggest music market in the world, France the 5th and Canada the 6th). Yes, LMBTL underperformed in the USA, but it didn’t prevent it to become one of the top sellers of the year by a female artist. In America digital sales and streaming have a bigger share, and also is a more ageist market where veteran artist struggle. All this plays against Celine, but she and Rene were clever enough to no put all the eggs in the same basket. Mariah Carey and Britney Spears are two good examples of the opposite, if they flop in the USA (as they did with their last two albums) they don’t have any other markets to support them because their focus during the prime was always America.

Kinda funny she spends so much time in the USA mind when she is selling out in Europe... I know it works for her family sooo

Would be great if she could base somewhere each year and do 70 shows there for instance- instead of mini tours mini residences. Dreaming obviously lol

[zuv]

 

Because only french speaking ppl consider them, they're unexistent to GP....but I meant, the others are UNIVERSAL albums, she should've released a way more

 

Lol i understand f*.*k all of Spanish, yet i would be excited and amazed if she performed a Spanish song during concert.

 

She got standing ovations every night for Ne me quitte pas in Vegas.

But wasn’t that a rumor? It was just something pieces off of nothing. But perhaps she’s doing an alternate version of that song and this is what they came up with? Like Ordinaire, with different lyrics.

What is the story behind Ordinaire? Is it a remake?

Ordinaire was first recorded by a male artist so they had to adapt the lyrics to Celine.

Yes, I need.... There's an stereotype young folks/stan twitter do around Céline's name, about her not being relevant since Titanic, or that she didn't have any hit since then....and being too underappreciated in the USA really helps on it, I feel ashamed for not being able to bring any receipt against this fact, because Céline's really flopped there

[Xpresso]

I didn't know Céline had heartless fans!!! Gee, yes she took a year off. Yes, she can afford it. And good for her for taking the time off!!

She's not the typical 9 to 5 employee so why compare her job to yours? For over 20 years, she worked like crazy. Real crazy!!

Your 40-hour week pales in comparison. So now it's payback time for her and she sure shouldn't feel guilty about it. And nobody here should make her feel guilty either. Be happy for what we still get from her and stop complaining every single day for some nonsense.

NMQP is also a very well known song all over the world. I guarantee that the reaction would not be the same if she performed "Cherche encore" in Vegas.

Yeah, everyone and their mother recorded NMQP (Sting, Streisand, Lauryn Hill, Nina Simone, Sinatra, Cyndi Lauper, Shirley Bassey, Ray Charles come to mind, among countless others, and in something like 30 languages). It's a safe choice.

Not so much that it's a safe choice...but when an artist who can truly interpret it, sings it live...any audience will appreciate it. It's not about playing it safe. It's absolutely about making sure that your audience can relate and/or enjoy what you're doing.

True, no argument there. Celine does it brilliantly and I so wish she'd bring it back (though highly doubtful anytime in foreseeable future).

 

But I also think it's quite clear the Vegas program seems to be all about giving people the familiar. And as French songs go, NMQP is certainly that.

As far as the general American audience goes, NMQP or "La Vie en Rose" are going to be the most recognized. Maybe "L'hymne," also.

Imagine this album will have 16 tracks. I hope this recent recorded songs will not be included in the upcoming album. Let this be a single. But I feel Recovering will be included.

 

- Hymn

- Recovering

- The Show Must Go On

- How Does A Moment Last Forever

Also because nowadays most people will stream the album on a platform like spotify. Those tracks ( how does a moment last forever, hymn, the show must go on and recovering) are already there to stream. I recently read about Bono of U2 saying that since people nowadays stream the music, an album cannot have any fillertracks anymore but every track must be equally great. That is a challenge he said, but eventually make the quality of the songs better.

One of her team members (I don't know if it was Denis Savage or Humberto Gatica) said in a recent interview with Le Journal De Montreal that How Does A Moment Last Forever will most probably not be included in the upcoming English album.
