Celine is part of Today Show's Summer Concert Series 2016

[scielle]

It's because her contract at Caesar's won't let her, she is based at caesar's, so she sings there for her big concerts.

 

I wonder if said contract precludes her from doing English shows outside the US. Or North America, since I imagine Canada is also a limitation.

Could she do, say, a series of 10 shows at Royal Albert Hall or some such? Because I just might fly to London for that!

[scielle]

I'm going to be a dreamer and hope she does the French single Yes, I know it won't happen because this is the States but I won't give up the dream!

 

That would be lovely.

I'm hoping against hope Sony releases this French record in the US. There's bound to be interest, regardless of language. Sure, not a massive sales opportunity, but I truly believe they'd be shooting themselves in the foot if they just ignore it, as they tend to.

1 fille & 4 types and On Ne Change Pas were released in the US. I wonder why D'elles and Sans attendre didn't? It's like two yes, two no So this new album should get the release again

I think it is all of North America. I remember reading Rene had to ask for special permission for Une Seule Fois. Edited May 14, 2016 at 12:41 AM by DionFanAlways

Really? But that was a mostly French show, right? Plus she's doing all the Quebec shows this summer so clearly there's an exclusion of some sort. Must be pretty tightly defined though, I'm sure.

I'm pretty sure the exclusion is she cannot do any full length shows in the United States, other than at Caesars Palace. But something like the Today concert series will only be 3-5 songs is allowed.

They must have renegotiated Vegas after 05 because she toured all over Canada and the States but I swear there were restrictions in 11. Now mind you, the article was in French so my understanding is limited.

[CelinesDIVO5]

She may possibly have been touring for the album which was postponed. I'm sure there is some kind of clause for French album tours.

[Tyler1991]

I don't think there are restrictions because it's really a tv show appearance that brands itself as a concert. It's not in my mind really a concert. 4 songs is what we will get most likely. Even that would an increase over the previous times on this show when she sang 3 songs (02, 03, 07)

Exactly. It's billed as a television appearance, not a concert. She would even do 2 songs on Leno back in the day. GMA is just a morning talk/news spectacle. Celine is just their guest.

They are concerts. It's Today's concert series. Every act has a select day for a concert. They've done this a few times.

That's not what we are saying. If you read above, we were trying to figure out the terms of Celine's Vegas contract when it comes to performing in North America, outside of Vegas. She supposedly can't do full large scale shows outside of Vegas with a few exceptions, ie: Une seul fois, Pandora at Edison Ballroom etc. due to her contract of residency at Caesars. Yes, it's the "Today Concert Series" but it's not a tour, or large scale show. The Summer Concert Series is merely a small segment of a morning news show. It's no different than when Celine goes on any other show to give an interview and sing, aside from the number of songs she performs.

[comingback]

If she's going to sing oldies , I hope she does full versions of TTWII, ANDHC and IA ... These are perfect for an outdoor audience!

 

 

Yes, I would like to hear TTWII full live again.

I don't think this has anything to do with an English album. I think Celine wants to keep busy and Aldo is taking this opportunity to keep Celine in people's minds. She may be performing in Vegas but the US don't see that much of her outside of Caeser's, so this is a nice way for her to stay in the public eye on national TV.

 

If only she would do more one-off things like this!

 

Agree. I believe it's to keep Celine's name fresh.

In his Montreal Gazette interview he gave some months ago, he viewed Celine as a brand. And a brand needs to be on the headlines, just to keep the name in the news, and not only where there is something to sell (e.g. an album).

As someone said in another thread, Celine's name is now the simple reason why people goes to her Vegas show. No hit songs for more than a decade, but her show is more successful than any other headline artists in LV.

 

If I understand correctly, Aldo is not from the music business, but more from entertainment/marketing side, so the down side might be the music I am afraid (no risks, no really new stuff (again I am referring to his comments in the Montreal Gazette: you feel he is conservative music wise), unless Celine pushes for it), but in terms of visibility, he should be good and smart because its strong point - and we have seen that since last year: AMA / Sinatra special / Bubblé / now Today show.

It could be a good thing Aldo not being within the music side of things. Maybe it'll give celine the incentive to be the decision maker more!

I can't help but wonder: a new English album is in the works for next year. If they're aiming for early-ish next year would it be too much to think that she'll preform some new music in July?? Even if only one song. I'd hate to think with this that she sings all the old songs everyone knows. Plus most of the line-up is working on new material.
