Well, since this topic isn't going away... I'll add what I know lol

 

Anyone remember the show "Pop-up Video" on VH1? They ran an edited version of the Divas concerts, and there are few tidbits about the show that night that I don't think have been mentioned in this particular (off-topic) discussion.

 

1) Aretha was upset before the show started. Her people had made it extremely clear that for no reason whatsoever could the A/C be turned on while she was in the building. (I mean, it was April 14, 1998, so I'm not sure why the air would be on anyway, but it was one of her many "asks" or demands.) Allegedly, at the start of the rehearsals, Aretha stormed off the stage claiming that someone had turned the air on (probably Mariah :giggle:). She spent the rest of her day in her trailer, fuming over the incident.

 

2) Someone came up with the idea to send Mariah over to Aretha's trailer/dressing room to go have a "girl chat" and try to smooth things over. They probably spent the afternoon sh*it-talking everyone else).

 

3) All the while, the producers are freaking out because they're not sure Aretha is even going to do the show at all. So they decided, since they had Celine, Shania, Gloria and Carole sitting around waiting to rehearse the finale, they'd come up with a backup plan, and that's how they ended up with "You've Got a Friend".

 

4) Since there was not a full rehearsal of the "Natural Woman" finale, you might argue that Aretha had no ill intention by stealing the first verse from Carole --she made have just gone on auto-pilot--and the smarmy "Thanks" she says to Carole when she realizes that she's taken her lines might just be her way of saying "Oops!" without admitting she made a mistake.

 

This account was published by VH1, so I'm assuming they had the insider info from their own staff and didn't need to fact check, but then again you never know if they embellished details to make it juicier. However, the pieces seem to fit together and it answers the question of how the "You've Got a Friend" pack seemed to all be chummy while Aretha and Mariah may have held some bitter feelings about the concert.

And would you blame those rich people for that, because they had the « choice » ? At the end of the day that is just another demonstration that being rich does not necessarily help in case of mental illness. Even worst it can be the trigger.

 

With all due respect, you clearly don't have an understand of mental illness. And again, I ask that, rather than muddy this thread with an off-topic discussion, simply PM and I'll be happy to discuss the matter with you from the POV of someone struggling with 3 different mental illness. Thank you.

Right, Celine was the first Diva who was booked for the Divas show, she had a No 1 song and album at that time. Mariah also complained that Celine's picture (outside of the theater) was bigger than hers. :giggle:

I was in this restaurant, and they play Courage full album. I’m in Indonesia and I think this is the first time I hear Courage played in public area.

I still listen to the album every week - or at least a playlist that has a mix of Courage tracks and Greatest Hits Tracks. I still love the album and think it's her best album since Let's Talk About Love. Even though she doesn't sing songs from it on tour, it doesn't matter to me. I LOVE IT!!

 

Favorite tracks currently:

Heart of Glass

The Hard Way

How Did You Get Here

Best of All

Imperfections

One of the best songs on the album and another demo which became the final version!

 

Also, how awful that the writers went to her show, met her backstage and she didn’t sing their song.

I wish Celine just gave a glimpse from her quarantaine at home. Just to show she is still there.. And maybe give us a homerecording? Is that so much to ask?

Just what is the point in these “behind the scenes” videos if they’re just going to play the studio track over it?

It's so we know exactly what outfit Celine was wearing with each of the songs recorded for Courage. Also, to see how excited she is for all these new songs that she will not promote or sing. In addition, we can now figure out generally when each song was recorded by the pictures they teased us with over the 3/4 years before Courage was released.

 

PS With the outfit Celine is wearing in "The Chase" video, I would have thought was an outfit she would wear while recording Flying On My Own or Nobody's Watching. :giggle:

Celine is obviously more interested showing of the latest fashiontrends instead of really promoting the great songs of her latest album. That is her choice of course but for her fans it is not that interesting imo
