Celine's managment under Aldo Giampaolo (2014-2017)

[CSCfan]

It is very strange to me, these statements that he left to have more time for family, as he left his hands tied and has a tour coming, he could by letting the tour pass that is an exhausting work and that has many decisions to Take and then would have left.

 

Aldo left her at a not very good moment, it is a lot to think about, to make decisions, to sign contracts, I am not talking here that she is not capable, yes she is capable, more will be overwhelmed and will be the "new thing" for She, if he did it after the summer shows, it would be more praiseworthy for him, more decent, excuse me what I'm going to write now, to me he was mean to her.

 

 

Certainly something more serious happened and maybe we'll never know what it is.

 

The timing is never perfect for something like this. But...it's better this happens now than in May or June. Or later in the year (closer to the new album's release). Let's just hope a new manager will be picked soon and the transition will go smoothly.

[Tyler1991]

I do not necessarily think Michel or Patrick would be the best options. Remember how many of you were bored or dissatisfied with Rene the last decade or so? Would these two really be much different. Someone completely fresh is my vote.

[Shamrock_1982]

Def not Michel!!!! Lol

 

Can't believe he was even suggested!

 

I wonder if this happens immediately or takes time until they find an alternative as his out of office the other day said he was due back on the 4th April.

It looks like she will be managed by herself, with the help of an agency: http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2017/04/07/celine-dion-et-justin-timberlake

[jpatdeleon09]

What's the job of Patrick? Michel is her stage manager, right?

[isurrender]

Certainly something more serious happened and maybe we'll never know what it is.

 

His contract came to end and was not renewed from his side, that's it.

 

It's funny how people think she is capable to take decisions. Of course, she will have more power to agree to sing it or that (I mean with René , he was often him to push her) and Aldo had already said she was the one to make the final call.

 

Throughout her career, she has repeated so many times she didn't care about numbers, meeting and business...and now suddenly people think she can? Based on what exactly? Because she pushed to add some rareties during her last tour?

 

I might be wrong but the role of a manager is not to choose a setlist (René of course had his part for it but it was his husband and he knew everything about Céline's career). The role of a manager is to place his 'product' , take opportunities and chase after them...and Aldo did a good job!

 

I don't know what the future holds but well, I'm not that confident.

 

Céline is currently "manager-less" meaning that her future is on stand by except if Céline is a super woman who has days of 74 hours during which she performs, take care of kids, discuss contracts and doing business, making phone calls to get a slot on "The voice" , checking her sales figures, negotiate to make some shows in Asia next year, all this while preparing her next english album of course .

If i'm the manager of celine.

 

I will change the look of her current vegas show and bring back the look of A New Day.. better visuals, old big raked stage (silver stage), setlists. better website

 

if celine is recording i will really say to the producer that her vocals should blend with the music ok! Stop with the dry vocals/raw it should be wet!

 

Does she have makeup artist, hairstylist?

 

Law will not be change

 

Vocal coach? I heard they change her vocal coach.. back in 2011?

 

- i feel like celine will be mad at me lol haha it's just for fun

That's what I'm explaining, Céline never participated in the business, we always saw Celine talk that she does not like numbers that everything was with Rene. Managing a "product" is not easy, many decisions, contracts with exorbitant clauses, many things and she is not accustomed to this type of business.

 

The dates of the new shows in Vegas next year are gone and they are already talking about whether she will want to renew her contract with Ceasar next year.

 

I hope she makes the right decision, very worried because it is not enough to be an artist, she needs to have experience of working in the administration, which I think Céline does not have this experience, I think even the bills of her house does not pay.

Claudette will do the job. Edited April 7, 2017 at 01:52 PM by québecflower

I don't think the dates are not going ahead I just think they got updated to the website before they were supposed to. Robin Leach put up an article today that says that Céline is "under contract at The Colosseum through 2019, and it is generally acknowledged around her camp that her stay in Las Vegas will be extended for two additional years and maybe into a second decade.". I wouldn't worry too much about it.

The article doesn't say that - it just says that the author thinks she'd be good at it and refers to Robin Leach's tweet.

 

Celine has said many times that she doesn't want to manage herself.

Regarding meetings, Céline has said her self that she has been attending meetings after René got too sick and being more involved in the business. She said she likes to be more involved. So yeah maybe she has changed her mind on that aspect.

It looks like?

This article merely quotes the (perennially factually incorrect) Robin Leach...

[Alex_Incognito]

Perhaps the mold of Rene's hand backstage sprang to life and now it's going to manage her career.

Another interview above. Basically says he felt he was neglecting his family.

 

Also -

"L’ancien gérant ne sait pas qui le remplacera et continuera de faire rayonner la carrière de la diva. «Non, je n’ai aucune idée. Il faut que je me détache malheureusement. Je ne peux pas rester attaché, car ça va me rendre malheureux», a-t-il lancé."

 

Guess he's not going to stay around after all, not even in more of a side role?

Must be the first person I've ever heard he's not been happy working with Céline First person ever!

Another case of priorities Javito.

 

Maybe one day if you've got a family of your own you'll finally release the importance and impact of it.

[CelinesDIVO5]

I also don't think it was Celine he wasn't happy with. I would say the pressure of the job, the time consumption, and maybe he does actually have things going on in his life that he needs to take care of.

I'm perfectly aware of that I didn't know he had two children of 8 and 3 years old, so that's totally understandable. Same as it's not usual to have children at 64, so I don't even know how he agreed to take this job when he had just a newborn 3 years ago.

[Nmj]

Is it out of the question for Celine to have 2 managers?

 

Her team already acts like her francophone and English career are two different worlds so maybe she needs a big name manager to guide her English career someone who has many connections in Hollywood. And someone who has connections with Quebec and the French world would take career of the French region. Of course both would have to have a great partnership and work well together but honestly it seems like a great idea.

[isurrender]

I think Maman Dion should take over. She was the first... so full circle again...

 

😅

[joaofilho]

i do not believe in this story that he was moving away from the family, they live in Las Vegas just as Celine lives in Las Vegas, Celine's career is not the same as that of 10 years ago, she does not make many trips, not Makes more extensive tours that last more than 1 year, that means they're set in Las Vegas most of the year, of course the times they travel, more for a short time, like now in the summer tour, will be About 2 months only. There must have been something else we do not know and this Aldo has a way of being very ambitious in business, he must be wanting something more in Las Vegas.

[rhapsodion]

In his previous jobs, I don't think he needed to travel or moving around as much, or be away for too long. While he was also the CEO for his previous companies, but I think the types of duties in his previous roles are quite different to CEO of Feeling Productions and managing an artist.

 

For Celine, it is important for the new manager to have good networks and understanding for both the French and English markets. Unless she has one for English, and one for French.

 

 

[BartFCS]

Sure, let's make up some stories since the explanation is so clear and makes perfect sense... but is boring as hell.

 

I'll start. I'm sure Celine and Aldo had an affair... there!

i don't think it is a catastrophe, Celine will be fine. No need for her to take accounting 101 to be able to make her tax report.

There are people who have problem understanding priorities... such as Celine deciding to focus on performing and family.

But... Celine is a closeted lesbian... Annie Horth quitted because of their break-up. Edited April 7, 2017 at 08:57 PM by LukeD
