"Celine" The Revamped Show

In two days nobody will talk about the Hello cover from Celine, now if someone could promise me that we would be safe from hearing it everywhere else, :giggle:

and the video with Adele with her bear coat...not safe in the woods.

To those who defend this performance so much (remember, I do like it but am against it), by reading your posts I conclude that Celine can only have fun with covers, singing Adele songs, and singing the most recent hit singles that are all over the place (Hello, and before Rolling in the deep) ? That's lame. And if she can't have fun with her songs, why record original material at all? Edited January 2, 2016 at 02:22 PM by anewdayhascome

i don>'t defend it, i accept it, not the same. And she won't derailled her career more that it is already with it. It is not like she does it every show. I hate that song even more now... :giggle:

i'm glad with her Adele's cover, she did it great with her own vocals and she improve during the song, thats amazing, when she did it last time?

maybe she did it for testing kind of songs for next album

and remember she did it worst during the Whitney tribute, where her vocals are weird

i'd worry if she pick up again a Barbara's song

next song that i'd love to her would be toxic in acoustic version, her vocals would kill the song :clap:

You all know how much I love Celine but the truth is she has been trying to leech into Adele's success for quite a time now. It is embarrassing.

How is a two minute cover of PART of a song that she loves leeching into Adele's success?

Was it embarrassing when Céline sang "All The Way"? Was that "leeching" on Frank's success and legacy?

During the backstage footage of "A new day," Céline is seen singing "Tonight's The Night" by Rod Stewart during soundcheck and while walking around. In TTEOTW, she sound checked with The Beatles' "Ticket To Ride" just having fun. Are people upset about that too? What about the fact that she sang a snippet of that "Watashi" song in Japan not only during the TCWT but also the LTAL tour? Should she have used those 30 seconds to sing "Then You Look At Me"?

Artists ALL THE TIME rave in interviews about other artists they admire and cover them. Younger up and coming artists are now talking about Céline - Remember Ariana Grande's Céline impression? How is it embarrassing when Céline does the same?

The psychoanalysis of this 2 minutes of the show is comical. I think some of you on this forum think that there was a formal meeting where Céline and team sat down and said "Right, ok. We need to use that Adele song for publicity since we're having such trouble selling tickets and no one wants to hear Céline sing her own material." In reality what probably happened is that Céline heard the song in the car on the way to the colosseum, started singing it during soundcheck, Scott Price probably played along and Céline said "You know what? Let's do that for a little fun in the show tonight. Just play a little bit of it and see what happens. Just for some fun."

The amount of criticism from FANS over this is probably the most embarrassing part of this whole thing...

Oh my god, she doesn't have anything to prove. She is just having fun singing her favorite song. It was just for FUN. Edited January 2, 2016 at 03:12 PM by tomdalbou

I think that despite the fact that Céline is going through a very difficult time right now with René's illness, she is using this show to take 90 minutes for herself and do what she loves on her terms. 2 years ago she never would've taken selfies with fans during her show. She never would've sang MHWGO live. She even said in an interview before she came back in August, something along the lines of, "I've realised that it's not about singing everything perfectly. There can be imperfections and you can sing things a little differently because that's what makes us human." She clearly feels some sense of new freedom. There's an energy about her during this incarnation of the show that has been missing for quite some time.

Celine has been chasing trends for many years and I have been saying that she is trying to ride to the success of Adele ever since she started mentioning her in interviews. She then covered RITD after a short cheesy speech. Then we got an entire album of Celine trying to sound like Adele by adding a forced raspiness into every verse. What is more she did cover an Adele song in the album and even worked with Eg White.

Your comment about ATW is irrelevant since Frank Sinatra is not a hot seller at the moment and Celine NEVER tried to mimic the way Frank sang.

Why are you even bringing TYLAM here? I am not complaining about Celine doing covers in general. Guess you should direct this to other members.

Sorry but I am not here to speculate over the reasons that led Celine sing the song. You don't know. I don't know. It is well-known that the show has been very successful but checking the facts again you will see that the videos of Celine singing ''Hello'' have gathered about 1m views already. Within 1 day or so. This has happened only ONCE again during her latest residency show. When she covered RITD.

And I don't care if you find my critisism to be embarrassing. 90% of times I support Celine because I feel like doing so. People who read my posts know this.

it gets back in the cage ;-) no just kidding;-) I don't know. I just stumbled on this video on youtube and wanted to share it because it looks like something Celine could have in her show as well. It looks so magical and amazing. Dreamy, beautiful

January 2, 2016 at 03:40 PM

Well, if she's going to sing another artist's song, she should at least make it sound good if not better. I'm a huge celine just like all of you here but i'm not going to pretend that she didn't go flat on most parts of the song. the performance was not something one would expect from celine. I'm sorry but it was a bit lackluster for me. So, that is my gripe actually. Not doing it good.

January 2, 2016 at 03:41 PM

Are you talking about the pre-recorded version of TGLOA? She sounded very good in this one and definitely not worse than her latest performance.

yes , it is nice... it is nice also to see another singer loving Celine's songs, and not be afraid to say it .

January 2, 2016 at 03:58 PM

You said everything i wanted to say! Just for fun and because she can. However, I´d rather see her singing songs that the fans are not expecting:

I would die if she sings:

Make you happy

I love you

I want you to need me

Live for the one I love

Ain´t gonna look the other way

A world to believe in

January 2, 2016 at 04:30 PM

Thank you

The bodyguards were probably thinking, 'Yes! I get to slam someone to the floor!'

I think the worst bit for me is the fact that he was approaching celine whole her back was turned. I'm sure the bloke wouldn't have done anything to hurt her, but I'm glad the bodyguard was awake! Lol

January 2, 2016 at 04:39 PM

maybe i heard a different version than everybody else :hmm: , you cannot expect her voice sounds like Adele, like Adele singing think twice, it wont sound the same

i heard maybe 5 different videos, and she was perfect it was new year eve and i was not drunk :blush: :giggle:

she sounds like a child, her vocals are so far from Whitney quality on original song

January 2, 2016 at 04:59 PM

this is for haters

When she hits the first note your soul will scream a little inside because it is just that perfect. It's not the first time she's covered Adele, either. Remember this amazing gem?

January 2, 2016 at 06:32 PM

Just saw a clip of Celine singing HELLO on Instagram so I immediately dashed over here to the forum to share my excitement. Only to find that some fans aren't so excited...

Not really sure what the problem is. I've seen a lot of artists cover songs from other singers in their shows -- Kelly Clarkson does this, for instance. And I think it could be handy for Celine to capture the attention of folks who otherwise wouldn't care about her.

My guess is some people here are experiencing jealousy since Adele is incredibly popular right now. So it's hard for them to see Celine buying into the hype herself. Somehow, this tarnishes her image...??

I personally LOVE how Celine makes it known when she admires another artist. I think it shows a tremendous amount of class and confidence to support a fellow singer. You rarely see artists of Celine's legendary status be so supportive of younger talent. It shows that Celine is a humble, down to earth human which not everyone knows.

Celine has A LOT coming up in 2016. A new French album and French concerts! Not to mention her personal life has been TOUGH. So her Vegas show, to some extent, should be a way for her to enjoy singing -- not stress out about being perfect all the time. It would be awful if she didn't enjoy herself in those shows. Why would she even do it, then?

I get that we all want Celine to sing her songs and own her Iconic status and be perfect all the time -- but it's important that she gets to do what she wants to do and have some fun. The general public/casual Celine fan is always mesmerized just to be in the same room with her. We're the ones who over-analyze everything.

I'm excited to hear more clips from her recent performances! And I'm excited for all the projects coming up this year!

Kelly Clarkson doesn't have 30+ years of her own material to work with which could be integrated into her shows. However, even with that said, Kelly still takes the time to do "fan favorites" and brings back older material of her own that her fans want to hear. It's the equivalent if Celine were to ever bring back "I Feel Too Much," "Water From The Moon" and "Only One Road."

How is a two minute cover of PART of a song that she loves leeching into Adele's success?

What Celine and her band do during soundcheck is completely different. Unless somebody has paid top dollar for a VIP experience which comes with the added perk of witnessing a soundcheck, people aren't paying hundreds of dollars to go to something like that. When people spend that kind of money, I'm willing to bet the majority are expecting to get Celine songs, not a cover of a song that is hot right now.

In reference to the Ariana Grande impersonation, that was done as satire on a talk show during a bit when singers mimic other singers. Christina Aguilera did the same thing with Britney Spears' material. When Celine performed "Hello" on New Year's Eve, it was far from doing so as satire or for a talk show skit.

Regarding the Japanese song, that is also completely different. She was doing a thank you, a tribute to the country she was performing at. It was a matter of cultural respect. Celine has not performed and does not perform in Adeleland or New Adele City.

I also don't think for a second "Hello" was added so "last minute" as is implied above. There had to have been SOME prep time beforehand. Plus, since "Hello" is not part of the "public domain", I am sure there were legal and contractual issues to work through in order for Celine to perform the song. I am sure Adele and Co. got some form of royalties from the performance.

-----

As I said before, if this (cover others' songs, especially Adele) were not something she had done before, or if she were a newbie on a show like "American Idol" trying to score a recording contract, I would have been a lot more lenient to the whole matter. However, her covering "Hello" is very indicative of an issue many have had before with her shows. Not enough of Celine's original material! Yes, people are still blown away by her vocals, but people I talk to wonder why she has to resort to covering others' material when she could be singing her own stuff. It stumps them. She is Celine Freaking Dion! Not Nancy Dreams-To-Be-A-Singer Smith from Bozeman, Montana.

People are free to make their own opinions on the topic of artistry, but covering "Hello" further solidifies my view that Celine is far from an artist (in the Anglo sense), but is actually a performer/entertainer. A damn good performer/entertainer, but one nonetheless. I really do wish she would have continued on with writing her own material after seeing how well "Don't Save It All For Christmas Day" was received.

Furthermore, and I've been trying to hold off on saying this, but I feel the time is right. I really don't think we'll ever see just WHO Celine Dion is as a singer/performer/entertainer/artist/whatever you wanna call her until Rene passes. Aldo and Celine have said Rene is still very much involved with Celine's career. (Which is to be expected.) However, this still means that Aldo, from what I can see now, is being used more as a figurehead in the interim, nothing more. I also have found it very telling that Celine's new manager is someone who has very similar looks to Rene. An older gentleman who has some extra poundage (I'm overweight, so don't go saying I'm fat-shaming him, I'm not), has some gray to him and dresses nice. It's almost as if they wanted to put someone in as Celine's new "manager" whose image wouldn't be so jarring to the media and Celine's fans. My (big) gut tells me if they had gone with someone in their 20s or 30s with a "hip" or "modern" edge to their image, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

has anyone else received an email from what appears to be from Team Celine that Thanks me for attending her show but also takes you to a survey to get feedback so they can get ideas as to how to continue to improve the show? Some of the questions asked me to rate each segment of the show and another question that stood out was what types of songs would I like to see Celine sing and what types of songs should she put in her next album.

I got it! Already posted in her New English album thread.
