"Courage" album - Official Topic

[jpatdeleon09]

Wait.. i thought they will make an english version of "Encore Un Soir" - i'm sure i read it somewhere... here in this forum before

[Bruno Portugal]

I would love a JJG song in the new English album BUT a brand-new one.

YES.

 

It would be great for JJG to do a few songs for her new English record, considering he's been such a huge part of her career and this is her first big English release since Rene passed away.

 

I would love a big David Foster ballad too.

[natrachata]

I'm tired of people/fans here saying Celine's upcoming song/single is so great then once the single and the album did not get number 1 and sold less than they are expecting, they will suddenly say that song is not good enough.

 

Didn't we all say that the song LMBTL is all that Celine needed to sound current and we do not want her to be stuck as the "My Heart Will Go On Singer"?

 

She gave us fresh current sounds from today's hottest song singers/songwriters ( Sia, Ne-Yo etc..)

 

Now, you guys are saying that LMBTL is not good and not her best. You do not want her to release cover song. You do not want her to release and make power ballad because she will be stuck as the "My Heart Will Go On Singer" and ballad songs do not sell these days unlike in the 90s. ( Adele is the only exception )

 

I cannot understand you guys. What type of songs is she gonna release then?

 

LOL😂❤❤❤

With TC album it was if she wanted to sound like Kelly Clarkson, with LMBTL, she wanted to sound like Adele. The only reason we didn’t get WAAF as the lead single with her fired out voice as she calls it was because of that fight with that idiot, Merriweather.

 

I want her to be her. Yes, try new things but sound and sing like Celine. ANDHC had many different genres but it was 100% her. And magical.

Totally agree 👍

[DestinMg5]

I wish that for this album Celine sings like her that's where her magic lies

[Nmj]

Water and A Flame and other songs with that a raspiness/ dried out vocals really makes no sense to me. I don't know why Celine fails to realize that people with that technique would probably die to have Celines instrument and the pure-ness and yet Celine would rather have what they have, it goes to show you that people always want what they don't have, even when it's not as good.

 

I'm ready for Celine 101, typical Celine vocals with that beautiful tone that we all adore, that's what made Celine loved. Stick with the recipe that works, there other ways of evolving as an artist all while staying true to her style, she could write her own music, she could produce her own stuff, she could sing more modern stuff, different genres ,etc all while staying true to her voice/ tone and herself. Just my two cents.

I think Céline has always admired other voices and just likes to emulate the singing techniques of the ones she enjoys.

 

In the past, she has emulated Whitney, Barbra, even Toni ("Love is on the Way", anyone?)... But it's not like she mimicks, it's always Céline. I really see nothing wrong with it. Just shows the incredible versatility of her voice and her willingness to play around with it.

Very positive comment. Luvin it❤❤

[flutefreak]

According to his twitter/instagram it appears that Stephan Moccio is in Vegas right now, hope he is visiting Celine and bringing her a new song.

[DionFanAlways]

I hope for some songs that you can't get out of your head. What do they call that, earworm? I hate to say it but I can't stop listening to Taylor Swift's Look What You Made Me Do.

í guess you have no control over it...i really don't like her, she seems to calculate everything.

I agree Celine needs to be herself and do whatever she believes she has to. I also think she needs a fresh sound, but still in her style.

 

Topping charts is not a fact of quality only, is also about GOSSIP(press), new & fresh image. In fact, sadly looks that voice is the less important issue.

Music in USA is about a moment, a moment that comes only once and then never comes back.

None of the old school Divas are still topping chars these days, (Cher, Shania, Mariah, Madonna etc) Mariah had a little moment with the EmOfMi (a decade ago)... but was just that a little moment and later completely forgotten.

 

Gaga moment is also gone. Even Kate Perry which is in the new generation is going down (No matter if I like her or not). TSwift is having hers now, but she knows that soon it will fade away, so she is changing and bringing new things everytime to hold on. She exposes all of her life in the spotlight like only madonna did once.

Adele is maybe an exception, and she doesn't even care, she does not try to fit in the industry. But don't forget she is still a NEW face (To me that's the point).

In the last years only 2 woman (correct me if I'm wrong) have topped the charts in US consistently: Swift and Adele. A hard moment for female artists.

 

If it was about quality Barbra or Celine were still the queens. But is more than that, songs are not the products , artists are the product. They need to sell themselves, be fresh, bring amazing videos and produce lots of press news (like Swift is used to do with her personal life).

 

Audiences change quickly and they get saturated after seeing you for a while, after that they forget you forever.

 

So I love Celine, and she is still the best to me. But, She won't top the charts as in the 90's no matter how she sounds or what she does.

So I rather see hear her soul in her records. LMBTL album is easy forgettable to me just because she does not sound like herself in most of the songs.

 

By the way, I think that the Pepe tale and the fashion thing made it so well for her image, It was her highest press popularity in this decade.

Even if Celine release ANDHC version 2.0 the fans are still going to complain. ANDHC album is nothing but ballad ( with a couple of uptempo songs but still, most songs are ballad ).You keep on complaining that Celine is stuck and scared to get out of her comfort zone.You'll just complain that she release nothing but ballad and we no longer live in 90s.

Loovve ballads, especially with long belting high notes and a lot of people still do. Just look at Adele selling records with latest album.... and its just ballads

 

Long live Celine and her ballads!!! For ever!!

Let's see...

 

I'm Alive -uptempo

Right In Front Of You -uptempo

Rain, Tax -midtempo

A New Day Has Come -uptempo, or at least clearly is not a ballad or the ballad version.

Ten Days -midtempo/not a ballad

Super Love -uptempo

Sorry For Love -uptempo

When The Wrong One Loves You Right -uptempo

Coulda Woulda Shoulda -uptempo

 

That's 9 songs of the album which are definitely uptempo. Or not exactly uptempo some of them, but definitely not ballads or slow songs.

[flutefreak]

Whatever she wants to record this time is fine with me. I still think we are extremely lucky to be getting a new English album and we just got a French album considering that she's had a pretty tough couple of years personally. I don't want to be greedy. I wouldn't blame her at all if she didn't feel like recording anything.

[SuperLove4Celine]

People on here know I'm no fan of Celine recording so many covers. With that said, there is one song I think would be amazing with her vocal abilities. The song is Bob Carlisle's "I Will Shelter You." The arrangement would need some modernizing, but it's an amazing song. It could even work in the Vegas show as the opener, complete with the curtain drop.

I just listened to There's no living without you from the colour of my love album and God I realized that there are so many precious gems that Celine has. That's what's great in releasing albums we are given something to keep forever and have the chance to unbox these anytime.

Exactly. That's why I always said that I'd rather have her recording albums more frequently than touring every year or couple of years like she's doing.

 

Tours and performances come and go, they don't even release her tours these days. But recordings and music albums will last forever.

 

There's been only two English albums in TEN years, for an artist that was accustomed to pull off one new album on a yearly basis, sometimes even two. I don't want to open that debate again, we all know she doesn't want to record on that pace, it's not even convenient now (we're all hoping for quality music even if it takes more time to come), but she has spent years and years only performing in Vegas without releasing any new music (particularly her comeback in 2011 when she spent two ridiculous years without releasing any new albums until LMBTL finally came).

 

And in the meantime, while she performs repetitive concerts in marathon mode in Vegas and summer tours with barely anything new to offer, her voice keeps changing

 

Oh, that jazz album, that Spanish album she wanted to do in 2005, where did they go... Her voice won't be the same when she wants to record them (if she still wants to).

Please tour . She's not in a place of proving things anymore. Even though she's not releasing new albums anymore people are still going to see her shows. She's a living legend. Look at Barbra, she doesn't even have to release that often anymore. Celine is the same. She's already had the career that René wanted her to have. Beside that's where the money are now a day not from selling albums.I don't mean that I don't want her new album but an English album following with a French in only a few years at this stage of her life where she's already has everything she's ever dreamed of when she was a kid from Quebec. I think she's doing just fine. All she needs is to take it easy and enjoy the ride. If singing for the rest of her life was what she wanted from the beginning so please keep performing for the people who really loves her music around the world.

While waiting for the long awaited english album .....im so blessed lara fabian is releasing her english album camouflage and looking at lara Fabian social media team is very responsive in Facebook n 2 of the songs growing wings and choose what you love most (let it kill you) from the album very promising .....and the music video are amazing too....

 

Lara Fabian don't have to follow the mainstream radio friendly and she knows very well on her vocal cords n songs that she wants on the English album .....be herself n great music masterpiece.

 

I love Celine Dion no doubts n not complaining nor comparing but just wish Celine knows what she wants n follow her own music direction that she well verse on instead of collaborating with hits singer .....

 

Can't wait for lara fabian new album due to release on 6 Oct 2017 .....and Celine new english album maybe have to wait till next fall in 2018 with no expectation that there will be any music video n singles release before the album is out....

In order to tour and keep performing around the world you need to offer something new, and usually you need to have new music out. There's only so much time Céline can keep singing to the audiences TPOL or BYLM without offering something new (unless she decides to perform new songs without recording and releasing them previously, which is ridiculous in the music industry). There's only so much "Live 20XX" tours she can do without having anything new to sing, to keep the attention and interest from the audience. The contrary is the image of singer that is still active in her career but always singing the same songs, as if she lived in a permanent "greatest hits" tour . Only that those "greatest hits" date now as back as 2003, and her shows have been revolving around them for 15 years now, barely focusing on the new music.

 

Releasing new music is almost mandatory in order to tour and doing shows, either in Vegas or anywhere. And regarding the Vegas, it's a matter of time before they realise it needs a major revamp, sooner or later.

 

And please note that I'm not demanding a full new album here and all the promotion behind, there are other formulas. Her team is not even able to release an EP during the tour or 3-4 new songs to capitalise during the tour she does in Europe, at least to sing something new or be able to say "I have some new music out"

I think Celine has proven that you don't.... how many songs from TC and LMBTL are in her current show in Vegas?

 

I agree with your statement for most artists but Celine will always sell

There's a reason Celine is different from Taylor Swift. Celine is an Icon, a living legend and people are not traveling the world to hear her hits. She doesn't have that much on charts. It's because of her classics and yes she will always sell. To be honest, how many songs from LMBTL that normal fans can sing with her in the show but it's been twenty years something already but people are still singing BYLM with her and still travel from around the world to hear it. If she makes a comeback on a music scene, that's good but if she's not, she doesn't have to, she's like a good vintage wine. It's classic. It's expensive and people will always dying for it.
