Oh no, please no mika, no .......... I'd prefer a duet with Florent Pagny or Grand Corps Malade

 

I don't think that will ever happen, not after this:

Great idea! But...

 

What if Céline doesn't like the chosen song? :-D

 

And yeah... maybe I'm gonna be burnt for what I'm about to say but I think only french speaking people should vote. People who choose the song should be able to understand what the song is about. Lyrics are very important in french music... Try ton sing "My heart will go on" in french and your career is over. :-D :giggle:

I doubt she is going to dislike it. The question should be more, what if she likes more than one? She will still only choose one? They will prefer to have big songwriter names on the album rather than amazing songs from unknown people?

Well, I can imagine, Celine pre-selecting for these 25 songs so that there are no songs to choose, which she doesn't like.

 

Edit: If I understood it right: One of the leaders of jury, Pierre Fortier, said here, that he got a "white card" from Celine to pre-select the songs.

For the other things it would be great if someone translate. My French isn't enough to translate it good.

Now let's do it for the show in Vegas. :w00t:

 

AMEN!

 

But as for the French album, I don't get one thing. Since it seems that Celine's request was REAL how did people know WHERE to send songs?

I'm sure, everyone, who wanted to contribute was able to find out the address of Celine's management. Maybe some of them sent it to "Ceasars Palace" :giggle:

But that's assuming no one in the US speaks French - which is not true at all.

what he says`:

the guy is prsident of Festival international de Granby, This festival is the biggest in Québec to choose new singers and also new talents in writing lyrics and music.

 

so for this :

they received about 1000 fileds, sometimes you have up to ten songs in a file, a whole album

they put it in I-tunes, they put titles

he is listening to the songs, all of them..he makes the preselection, he is puting a number of stars to each song.1 to 5.

After that 100 to 125 best songs will be send to an international jury, a guy from France and another from Swiss. An ex-member of Beau Dommage(one the most famous group in quénec past) and the archivist from production feeling(don't remember the name). This is their trade to do this, and they will achieve it, going down to 25 songs.

 

they are the ones who really judge, Celine's team is confident in their ability to make the right choice.

 

He began listening to the songs yesterday, 168 of them.

They received a variety of files: mp3, drop box, cd, email with windows media,

.

He have to chose even though sometimes the singer is not so good. He tries to overcome it, to see the text and the melody, so he have to use his imagination sometimes.

Explaining what a good song is :Sometimes, there is too much words for the number of notes, words that are diificult to sing etc.. the lyrics rythm have to follow the music rythm. Other times the chorus is not good, It is harder to write a hit song that a left alternative song.

 

It will give the winner great recognition.

 

The 168 songs he listened to are from 20 artist only..no people we know among this, but he knows that they received some songs by known people

JJG turns 64 today.

 

http://www.puretrend...a-vie_a133241/1

 

(article about the women in his life)

 

about Celine:

 

There are 22 years of friendship between Jean-Jacques Goldman and Celine Dion. The singer must surely owes part of her success to him. JJG was hooked by the title "The Power Of Love" from the Quebec singer.

 

Celine Dion was still unknown in France and the person who remains the favorite personality for the French public decided to write her an album. Celine is the only person to whom JJG asked for a collaboration. The resounding success of the album "D'eux" followed, released in 1995, followed by "S'il Suffisait d'Aimer" in 1998. The duo marked the landscape of the French songbook.

 

"It was an amazing journey. I will never forget this time. This was not work to be with Jean-Jacques. It was a great love story," even said Celine Dion to describe their various collaborations as per comments reported by France Bleu.

 

JJG loves TPOL? Interesting, I thought he don't like Celine's english work.

I don't think the article got that part right. I believe JJG has said he was interested in Celine for several years before they worked together (that is, before TPOL)

Yup, I think he first noticed her with D'amour ou D'amitié in 1983!

There is a rumor on the Celine Dion Greece facebook page that says Celine is recording her first single for the new French album today. Does anyone know if this is true?

I don't know. How would they (Sony etc) "know" it's the first single? You'd hope they'd record an album and choose the best song as a lead single!

Flawless Céline was when she lived only for her career.

Things have changed and it's a good thing for her to not only focus on singing.

The people who only live for their career often tend to go cuckoo... :-D
