Why not 16? :)

 

Because I tried not to be too selfish. But the more tracks the better.

I am not crazy about a French/English album. Some Spanish singers do this and I always have found that it's a cheap way to fill an album.

 

Also, yes some songs have transferred wel, but I don't think that every song could or should be translated into English, they won't sound right. I'd only love a French/English album if the songs are all original, but coherent with the same kind of vibe or theme, so it wouldn't matter one is in French and another one in English.

How Do You Keep The Music Playing? - Celine Opening Night March 15th, March 16th

The sole consideration of having French songs adapted into English (or viceversa) is a clear sign of a lack of ideas to me :hmm:

 

Only some very few Céline Dion songs have deserved that effort and only one has succeeded with equally great results imo, and that's Je t'aime encore, either as good in French as in English. Not even the English version of PQTME (considered her most popular and successful French song) is on a par with the original French one :)

 

That said, I don't think there's any such BIG songs in EUS that is screaming to have an English version. Come on, let's be honest here. We don't need to convert every French song we like into English, and viceversa. Only the best and biggest ones deserve that, and I'm sure she can come up with equally good new songs in the next English album as with EUS, without the need to pick songs from that album to be adapted into English. That's lazy sorry, and the easy way too :innocent:

 

So no, I'd rather have a full album of original new songs!

I wouldn't mind original French songs on the album but not translated to English. 😊

I have had the time of my life following this woman! Much love.

Or how about a double album? One French, one English? Controversial.

Her English albums are not even coherent. How you expect them to create an English/French album without it being a mixed bag is something I cannot understand.

I generally don't like the idea of a half-English, half-French album just for the sake of it. Otherwise, if it were a concept itself that would be coherent, then I'm all in!

Tournée Européenne in Paris (December 1, 2013)

Céline Dion Live 2016 in Antwerp (June 20, 2016)

Céline Dion Live 2017 in Birmingham (July 27, 2017)

I think a half English and half French album would only appeal to her devoted fans. I don't think the general public would warm up to the ideas. I personally don't like the idea and I consider myself a devoted fan. I much rather have a full album in one language. I think the only way it would really work would be a 2 disc set that way each disc flows, otherwise no.

I don't think she'd ever release a half french half english album. She's always said they're two separate careers.

So unless she worked with one writer for all the songs I can't see it working. Unless it was a duo, one writes english words the other the music, then vice versa. But that would be quite hard to find lol

All by Myself / Sola Otra vez is a song that became a big hit in both languages.

I agree. I would like a English and French album together but as a 2 disc set, not mixed together on one CD.

 

But yeah it would only work for big fan. Not sure the general English public would want to buy a french CD.

Why did jean jacques goldman retire? I mean, he can still do amazing songs for céline! He's not that old yet

The way I've always understood it, and I may be wrong, is that he's not "retired" persay but he's not active as he used to be in the music industry.

Presumably pretty simple - doesn't need to / want to work anymore. I'd do the same if I could!

Encore Un Soir is part of the setlist of Les Enfoirés 2017!

Davey what is this about?

 

Kev x

You know Les Enfoires right? Celine participated in 94 (La Bas), 96 and 07.

 

They perform all kinds of songs for charity. This edition they are singing one of Celine's songs too.

For a spanish album why she has to cover herlsef again

 

she can pick up some classics in Spanish and than have some original songs, and as bonus the already recorded songs :wub:

 

Maybe some songs made famous by popular Latin artists, like Celia Cruz, Gloria Estefan, Julio Inglesias..... but please not versions of her french and english songs :giggle:

Jeeeeh just release a photo with a songtitle on it and call it a "single"

 

I so do not care for these so-called "singles" without a decent video.

 

At least for this one we got an amazing playback performance :wub:

Well hopefully this will mean she performs it live at at least her French shows!

They should've done this ages ago: a 2-disc English/French album. With something like 10 songs in each language. IMO it's still the perfect way to help promote her Francophone career and the French language to non-Francophone Céline lovers (aka the general

audience).
