Celine Dion to perform Hymne a l'Amour at AMAs

[celine4evauk]

I don't care that it was a bit off key, in every other way it was such a beautiful, powerful and an emotional, touching performance that I literally had no words watching it... No other artist would've been a more perfect choice for this specific tribute to Paris than Céline.

 

Definitely! And if she were to, I'd want a medley. Not just one song lol.

I love Yentl ❤ and Windmills 💖

Same here!! All these books I don't read haha

If you see the "substance" in my post, many points I said are the "facts", not even my own opinions but the truth from the general public "outside this fan forum".

 

 

Thank you.

 

 

You can criticize her whatever you want. We all have freedom of speech. Many people here even criticize her technically in details, which is useful for our knowledge.

 

But it's just so funny to see someone making a false or misleading statement about the general public's opinions regarding her performance and called the people who have different opinion that they support Celine blindly, just because they think her performance was good. We all have the right to defend our arguments, whether it's negative or positive.

 

 

Yes, I agree with you, and I think not only in this fan forum, but among the general public outside this fan forum too.

 

On a factual level I disagree with you on the general public part.

Besides, I believe many people are too biased, somehow identify to much with Celine, to most bluntly criticize her when needed/fair enough. Like last sunday's performance.

I'll leave this discussion from now on. Also in case of any possible further misinterpretations. I've stated enough on this issue in the earlier posts.

Well, seems you surely put a lot of effort in that. The color and fonts really add to the drama, quite fittingly, I must say.

Very fanatic also, but fitting for a fan forum.

 

I must say, sincerely, the amount of likes versus dislikes is a very valid argument.

 

On the other hand I'm not going to repeat the set of contra-arguments I have already summed up earlier.

She failed vocally, this performance could have been much better.

Apparently, however, she remained more than credible as a performer to the majority here.

Celine did not fail vocally. It's a time for rallying around her, especially knowing what the true meaning of the performance is all about. A tribute to people who died. It's not a time to be pointing out imperfections. But you have blinders on and cannot see the power or emotions in her voice.

 

You never once commented on how powerful or rich her voice was. Certainly one of her most powerful performances she has ever given, if not, her most powerful performance to date.

 

Even her harshest critic, Rolling Stone magazine could see the glory of her performance and praised her for it. Yet you continue your one-beat-drum charade of bitter criticism. Maybe you should appreciate the feeling of her moving performance for the people she sang it for, instead of nitpicking at notes. You really are ridiculous.

Whoaaaa. This live capture from someone's cellphone sounds vastly different from the feed we received through ABC television. This goes to show that the production over-dub was at fault not Celine!

[chawatak]

On a factual level I disagree with you on the general public part.

That's OK. We can have a different view. I just base on what I have read so far on hundreds of media and various social media as I mentioned earlier.

 

Besides, I believe many people are too biased, somehow identify to much with Celine, to most bluntly criticize her when needed/fair enough. Like last sunday's performance.

I also believe that some people are too negative, somehow overstate too badly with Celine. To most bluntly criticize her is fine, but it should base on the facts, not on delusion, especially about the public opinion.

OK. Nice talking with you. We might have different points of view, but we're all fans.

Loving this 'Celine-starting-a-revolution' photo!

Seriously though, I just wish she felt comfortable enough with the performance to post it - on Vevo, FB, Twitter, whatever - and right now it looks like that's not happening which makes me sad; she must be disappointed. But hey, off or not, it gave her more media attention and adulation than anything has for a while. So let's just hope for more like it and that she's not turned off from doing more special things like this.

I don't think it detracted from her reputation at all - most didn't notice it / didn't particularly care, and those who did are generally musically astute enough to acknowledge it was probably a monitor issue. So no biggie. And I think she actually went up a couple notches in many people's minds.

I love this image and it reminds me of the movie Evita, which Celine should have had the starring role. Celine starring as Evita in a re-make perhaps. :wub:

[Ericwwc]

No more argument now. 1 conclusion majority of people like it including me. Thats it.

I may be ridiculous.. compared to your questionable norms.

 

At least I'm not tone deaf.

Yes she sang powerfully, I have mentioned her flat notes were all the more apparent because she sang rather full voice.

For what it is worth, I will return to this issue in a while, inspired also by your fierce defense of it..

Okay, so on another note, Celine got the most press out of everyone from the AMA's.

Did you even view the video of the performance shot by someone's cellphone? If you did you would see her performance was vastly different from the one broadcast on television.

[DestinMg5]

In my opinion Celine did a great effort her performance was a very emotional rendition in tribute to all the people who lost their lives in Paris attacks also not forgetting the people injured. She was did great I'm proud of Celine despite of everything

I really don't get how anyone could have anything negative to say about this performance. She sang her heart out

I bet he didn't, that's why he keeps talking nonsense....

Apparently she was a bit off key and produced some flat notes when it was airing on live TV.

But, from the cellphone video above, clearly, she sounds so much in flow with the orchestra, hits all the notes, so powerful and beautiful.

This is not the first time American television tried to sabotage her performance..

This I would have to disagree, sorry to say. The reason we could hear the flaws in celine's singing on TV, it was simply because the audio feed is much clear, not because TV signal/reception created any distortion. On the other hand, we couldn't hear flat/cracked notes from the audience recording device, because it simply doesn't pick up all these little things as clearly as professional TV production devices.

 

Otherwise, TV networks could simply record and produce their shows with smartphones, and no need to invest thousands or millions of dollars on those audio equipments.

I agree. And that cellphone recording..listen to the first parts where she is clearly off. And more times she is not on key. I do not hear so much difference with the tv broadcast. Like just said, tv broadcast picks up everything and therefor makes those parts even more visible.

Let's see if I got this right:

Now ABC is to blame for broadcasting high quality sound?

They have impaired Celine's performance by registering the sound too well?

 

Obviously these arguments are just lame. Not in the last place because the very cellphone has registered less of everything, so including the bad stuff from the performance (which I hear equally well).

[scielle]

Audience recording or not, it was still painfully off, and I don't appreciate garçon being scapegoated for pointing it out.

Yes, it was still an amazingly powerful performance, and no I don't think it took anything away from her reputation, but let's not blindly pretend it wasn't off. I'm glad it was so warmly received (despite its imperfections and deservedly so), very glad she did this in the first place, thought it was beautiful and moving regardless, and hope she's not turned off from doing more things like this in the future. I just hope that those who do hear how off it is also know that it must have been a technical issue because Celine is never just 'off'.

Nevertheless, like was said above, she sang her heart out and I think most (myself included) were truly moved and loved it.

I cant´stop watching it! so emotional! I´m very proud to be a fan for 18 years. I agree: no one cares about the others voice (they are concerned about what they will be wearing). So Celine takes the most pressure! even some fans are there just to get the imperfections and commen tabout them. Of course there are flaws, but the emotion and power of her voice take them away.

It's weird to hear the differences between the live in the arena and the live we heard on tV...
