Céline Dion: Summer Tour 2016 - Official Topic

[LukeD]

Shoulda, coulda, woulda' aside but why the hell wasn't I Surrender THE COMEBACK single?? Or a single period?! It's probably her biggest non-single/released hit. I just don't get why this song was never released, like its a no brainer. Goodbye's The Saddest Word? Like even the title of the song is depressing. Oye

I think AC charts would have eaten I Surrender! To me it is THE ballad of the album (and of the 00s too) and Sorry For Love its best dance song. Both of them deserved to be singles.

 

Goodbye (The Saddest Word), At Last and Aun Existe Amor not so much...

A quadrillion times agree. Those woulda been my choices too, ugh Sony Pony

[CelinesDIVO5]

"Sorry For Love" should have been the 3rd and final single. It could have been Celine's "Believe" and also a catalyst to what would have come from "I Drove All Night." It would have been the perfect follow up and probably would have performed better in the charts had it followed "Sorry For Love" as a dance single.

What ? My wish is THAT stupid? As a francophone fan, I prefer her english to her french catalog

 

Of course not! I wish it was real! My biggest setlist wish actually!

Ah! I knew it

Which concerts? There are many released on DVD, some on VHS, one in Bluray, and some that remain unreleased in any format, but hopefully will see the light of day at some point (Olympia concert in 1994)

If you mean the concerts from the upcoming mini tour, I'm sure they will be shooting them and release a DVD again, probably when the French album is ready in autumn or for Christmas.

 

Of course I mean upcoming French Tour. I know all that. But will be so cool, to have 2 dvd from Accorhotels Arena and Centre Videotron!!! It's my DREAM but I think it's not real!

 

If we're contact Aldo, may be 2 dvd will come.

 

[DionFanAlways]

yes, Sorry For Love I would have loved that also.

[Javito]

Sorry For Love, Right In Front Of You and When The Wrong One Loves You Right, any of them would have made a much better choice than GTSW.

 

They also wanted to release Ten Days as a single in France

[Peppercorn1991]

They should do a compilation album called: Celine Dion... The Missed opportunities

 

I would imagine it would be an album full of some of her best work!

Celine Dion: Missing Chances

 

But it wouldn't be just 1 CD, it would have to be a 3 CD set or a box set already...

A good thing is that Celine included some old fan favorite songs to the Sans Attendre tour. I hope she makes a similar effort this time, she could go for:

 

- Le Ballet

- Priere Paienne

- Zora Sourit

- Sous Le Vent

- Je T'aime Encore

- Et S'il N'en Restait Qu'une (Je Serais Celle-la)

- A Cause / On S'est Aime A Cause

 

... and she should also sing at least 2 songs from Sans Attednre that became such a huge album for her career. I don't want it to be treated like 1F&T or D'elles.

[isurrender]

Only Javito could bring back these nice discussions

 

ANDHC was a good seller, a hit I would say, it was the 7 or 8 best selling album that year but it underperformed for Celine standards, the industry was expecting much more, probably was the choice of the third single or the fact tha music taste had already changed from the 90s, but Vegas is not to blame for Celine's declining chart performance (singles mainly), in fact, for today standards I would consider SA and LMBTL similar hits to ANDHC in many markets

 

WW ANDHC was the third biggest selling album of the year.

 

I think it's interesting to see how the female singer (Shakira) who beated her that year declined (albumwise at least) more than Céline despite all the opportunities she got.

 

Her last album released more or less @ the same period of LMBTL included a duet with Rihanna and the soundtrack of the World Cup and still... it sold less than Céline's one ( but it was already the case with One heart and the follow up of Shakira's 2002 album).

 

Still I don't understand how a singer as Shakira whose career has been declining ever since 2002 got all those chances.

 

There's definitely something wrong with Céline's team or Céline herself when it comes to accepting or refusing proposals ...or I don't know.

The last example to date : Shakira ( so the singer who sold less albums than Céline the last 13 years!) sang the last Disney's song while Céline ended up singing the soundtrack for a small animated movie at the same time.

 

Same goes for Incredible vs La la la ( world cup 2014).

 

Same goes for Rihanna vs Neyo.

 

They only sent it to AC stations and refused to send it to Top 40. That was Sony's PR team in charge of releasing her singles. It was Sony's fault for not pushing the song. Sony's fault for spotty promotion. Sony's fault. Sony's fault. Sony's fault.

 

Well, Sia's songs have not been more successfull for Beyonce or Aguilera. lol

WW ANDHC was the third biggest selling album of the year.

ANDHC was the 5th best selling album of 2002 according to IFPI. And it was released in March which helped it have a full run.

 

I think it is interesting that the lowest selling albums of other female singers have sold less than Celine's lowest selling album (LMBTL sales of 1.6m).

I think LMBTL sits at 1.7mil I believe. And for sales Ault this point, that's very good. It could've done better in the US, Japan and Germany, which probably would've taken it to 2.5mil if done correctly. But, all in all, I think it was a very successful album for war they did with it. Also to outsell current acts such as Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and on par with Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and Katy Perry's last albums.

 

Where are her other peers again?

Maybe 1.8m because almost 100k were sold in Greece and this info is not put in Wikipedia. The album was included in a newspaper (all major greek singers release their albums this way the past 7 years or so) and the newspaper sold around 100k copies here.

 

The US sales is the only issue I find. Had it sold above 500k there and nobody would complain.

 

Still LMBTL is more successful than the lowest selling albums of other singers: MIAMTEC (300k ww), Rebel Heart (1m) and so on...

WOW my spelling is gross That's great then. Céline can definitely have a best seller with her next English album. If she sticks to what she's known for, bring something new like Videos, pick legit singles to promote, promote them, release the album on time, no delays, perform at the big events, get backing from SONY, although not really social media active, the platform does work wonders, radio deal, a mini world tour.

 

I think all this included with what they usually do will construct a very well received album.

just came back from a fantastic concert , Anastacia in my town:-) What I really liked of Anastacia is that she gives her fans the chance to choose a song they want her to sing at the concert via a special Anastacia fan-app. So she did a song from her album that she never performed live! Wish Celine did such things too!

Love that idea. Even like if she did that in Vegas every series change the song.

[browseceline]

well - from what I heard she gave the fans the choice between 3 songs. So it is not that you can choose from the whole collection ( Anastastica app)

If anyone is selling any tickets for the Antwerp shows, please let me know

She literally dropped all promo after The Voice because of René obviously. I truly think she was suppose to do something with the '08 Olympics because why did they air an instrumental of Incredible on NBC with the Olympics rings and their new fall shows lineup?? And the fact that they took the time to make an actual music video for Incredible versus not for LBTL.

[nuts2you]

that is so true

[nuts2you]

what songs do you think she will have a hard time singing ? I'm think JSP and If that's what it takes , but in French PTQME

[nuts2you]

Didn't they just add another date to Paris

[isurrender]

Do you think "dans un autre monde" will be the opening song?

[anewdayhascome]

let's hope not!

Lol I'm secretly hoping that DUAM gets relegated to a medley, as much as I like the song. Then have an older song come back in its place - Priere Paienne, Je Ne Veux Pas, Delivre Moi for examples.

[anewdayhascome]

Both Accor Arena and Team Celine's presales have still a lot of tickets for sale. I guess the interviews and possibly the single will boost the sales...

[mirage]

Oh yes please!!
