But Barbra got the "Flu"

 

I know Babs would have done well vocally. Such a shame. Then they got overshadowed by Whitney/Mariah since the song couldn't take off from there.

If Barbra didn't get the "Flu", it will be one of the iconic duet of the 90's

[CelinesDIVO5]

Was that not because they gave everyone who went to her concert a free cd?

You still had to separately confirm that you wanted the CD. It wasn’t an automatic gift.

Ooh nice find, thanks! Love seeing (raw) stuff like this

Behind-the-Scenes of Celine recording (well, technically here we see her listening/supervising the mixing) her parts to Annie Lennox's group song "Sing" which was released in 2007 on her album. Proceeds to HIV/AIDS work, I think.

No worries! Herby Moreau is doing Celine's team's job for them Maybe he is reading our requests on the forum

it was never released, was it? Edited December 14, 2020 at 02:02 PM by ryba

My view: I'm totally over the moon that we got this video, cause I love watching these! As for the song, I don't like it at all, it's really awful, but that's ok. We got the video lol

[PuraVida]

I'm shocked not many recognized it immediately or remember it. It was released as a single. It was done as group collab song on Annie's 2007 album Songs of Mass Destruction. You could miss Celine's vocals if you didn't know to listen for them.

 

I think there was a video on Youtube before this VEVO one that had many more views.

wow, so she actually recorded a full duet version and in the final version you can barely hear very few Celine parts (I didn't spot any significant Celine vocals)

[PuraVida]

Well "duet version" aka she just sang the entire song, as all the other contributors did, and then Annie's team is gonna pick whose vocal parts should go where.

 

I think Celine is 3:04, 3:25 - 3:32, 3:43 - 3:50. I think in the mixing video with Celine, the intro head voice notes are also her (but not entirely sure if it's Annie). Those can be heard on the album version I think, but not in the music video. Annie had like 20+ women send in parts in the end, which is crazy for such a short song.

 

But Celine and Annie's voices work so well together. And I know Celine was thrilled because she loves Annie so much.

Did Celine and Humberto got into a dispute there? It seems so

Which portions? I think they were just quibbling about the technical details. She thought something got erased and he was insisting all her vocals were kept on their "files"

[Xpresso]

The duet would have been amazing, although a bit too much screaming going on for my liking.

 

Edit: There's actually a thread called New song with Annie Lennox and we could move this over there.

so many amazing runs and adlibs in this session and we hear almost none of it in the final product. she was drowned with the others.

[jpatdeleon09]

I think the reason why they didn’t include this because Céline’s voice is so powerful and loud. It kinda drowned out Annie here

[pat200]

what's the use of having celine on a song if you can't hear her gorgeous voice?

[PuraVida]

She was heard, it's just they didn't use her very high belts. The high belts would have always been used as background vocals anyway.

[sarit_celine]

The issues she has with her former agent doesn't help and for sure takes out her motivation.

The podcast “Las Culturistas” showing Celine some love on their new episode which completely dedicated to Celine. They even shout out Imperfections.

Did you see their definitive List of Pop Culture, where they listed 100-200 things that made up pop culture? I think Celine was on it like 2 or 3 times (including with Vegas), it was great to hear them talk about her. I think that inspired this deeper dive into it to give a whole podcast to just this.

 

Then there was another podcast with them, or perhaps somewhere else, where they just use the whole podcast to dissect her song "That's the Way It Is"

One of the youtuber posted this on his instagram

They did a Top 200 Moments of Culture list before where they have Celine on it.

Bowen Yang, one of the guys, is on SNL and did the latest Celine skit...he grew up in Montreal partly.

 

Eliot Glazer is another young comedian podcaster guy who did a podcast about Celine (podcast with Miel Burdeuw)

Yes! I listened to their pop culture list too. It was very entertaining lol They love Celine so much. I love it! I hope Bowen does some more mini Celine tributes on SNL.

 

I didn’t listen to an episode about That’s The Way It Is. I tried to find it but haven’t found anything. I’ll look a bit harder later.

Thanks for sharing! I’ll listen to Eliot’s podcast!

I've heard it mentioned a couple of times now that in the late 90s or early 2000s Celine did a TV special with Elton John? Do we have the full performance or know more details?

 

I know they did a benefit concert for charity a couple times together, at least once, in Vegas....not sure if that's the same thing. Because I don't remember that being broadcast on TV?
