I could care less about Lindsey what ever her name is. This is CELINE'S ICONIC NIGHT!

Not a promotion for some new unknown artist!

Why does Celine's team always get it wrong. :taz:

 

She might be unknown to you, but not to the hundreds of millions who watch her videos. Her last album charted at #2 on the Billboard 200 (which by the way is just as high as Celine's last record), she's got 8x more YouTube subscribers than Celine (and Celine doesn't come anywhere close to Lindsey's viewership for individual videos). Previous Billboard Award winner. Regularly charts on both Dance/ Electronic & Classical charts worldwide.

 

Hiring Lindsay to do this is easily the best decision Team Celine has made in a long time. She's young, hip, edgy and super successful (see Forbes 30 Under 30), and has exactly the kind of audience that could be very receptive to Celine's style, if they only got the intro. I think it's a brilliant move!

Finally, I think it's going to be EPIC and maybe could be one of the best TV moment of her life.... The song is growing, at the beginning I was so disapointed and I have the feeling now that it could be a big hit in USA, people are surprised in a good way.

Since when is young hip and edgy under 30 crowd receptive to Celine's music. Don't you think that they never heard of Celine Dion before? Hellooo. None of that crowd is cozying up to her.

You seem to know about all of Lindsey's accolades and that's good and well for her, but not on the night when we are bestowing an honour on Celine as ICON, not Lindsey. :whistling1:

Timing is off. We're trying to shine the spotlight on Celine, not Lindsey. Get it?

 

There's nothing wrong with Lindsay! She may well bring a new audience to Céline... I think a collaboration with younger and less known artists is a very good thing. :-D

Sure I'm all for that but not on Celine's special night.

I think this will be more about Celine because before the perfrormance there will be a speech about her. And then she will take the stage for her own speech. Therefore, her night does not begin and end with that performance! In my opinion, to pair Celine with that young artist was a good move, because I think Lindsey is going to attract better reviews from music critics. Celine + a musician live on stage seems like a stronger combo than Celine being there alone. Just the impression I have!

 

Besides, if Celine sings well, then nothing can overshadow her. ;)

I'm not sure why people are worried about her being overshadowed. The line up is a substantial list as far as names go and I think Celine will be up for it! In other words, she usually shines with competition!

 

However, Luke is right on the button, IF Celine sings well then absolutely nothing will take it from her!

Do we know who will be presenting Celine with the Icon award??

 

I saw that John Legend liked Lindsey's facebook post about The Show Must Go On. So I had a thought that it might be him...? But that's based on nothing and I know they've never worked together. :giggle: I wonder if Ne-Yo will present to her? I hope it's someone who Celine has worked with or respects -- or at least someone who genuinely respects Celine even if they've never worked with her.

 

I'm sure Celine's speech will be lovely and all about how she owes her career to Rene and wants to continue in honor of him. :)

The problem is, with Lindsey comes the "poorer" produced version of SMGO. No Beethoven, no bombasticness, no "iconic-ness"

Instead of having 12 violinists sitting behind her in this EPIC sweeping Grand Larger- than- life orchestral production, we have Celine and this 1 violinist, (good as she may be) just cannot hold a candle to the "Grand-ness" that it could have been. :wacko:

I feel like Ne-yo was not really a "fan", but just wanted to check off his "to-do" list. Things that look good on his resumÉ

Hmm let's see: #99 Write and produce song for iconic singer Celine Dion. :xmas_ph34r:

She absolutely killed it a few nights ago!

Yeah the energy is great, the performance too.

 

But her voice doesn't sound any better than the studio version we just got (except for the screech).

 

But I can't help thinking there's a new "hoarseness" to her voice that hasn't gone away since february.

I understand it of course but I hope she can get rid of it in the long term.

Do not forget there is a generation gap: We grew up with Celine but there are many young people who only remember her singing mhwgo when they were a child. And that is all they know. No wonder this generation would vote for nick jonas, fifth harmony, britney etc.

Ah well some might disagree with me. But this not her song and it was not made for her. This list of covers. There are too many of them. I do agree i hear something in this version that is not good as well. Sort of tiredness sort of I have to sing this song.

Ah well maybe it was not her day.

Anyway, these are songs that she has been singing over and over again. Like river deep, love can move mountains, all by myself... it is time she starts singing other songs -from her own albums.

Again as an example: Madonna sings what she wants to sing and the audience does not care because hey she is Madonna and because they know they get a great show. For Celine it is the same. People come because she is Celine who has the voice!

That hoarseness is due to stress. If celine heals her voice will come back

I think so. And about the song. It is Rene's favorite. I understand that.

ooh sounds exciting, have fun!

 

 

I'm super pumped up for the performance. Some of my family members (they're teenagers) watch YouTube "stars" and they're really excited Lindsey is doing this with Celine so it's a really cool thing this is happening. It's a pretty good move by Celine's team considering they could've just hired any of Celine's violinists to play.

 

I also want Celine to take pictures with other artists but she usually doesn't so :down: I think it's fun to see her pictured with other people who like her as an artist and see her as a legend (which she obviously is)
