Céline being cool again

[smw]

It's time to announce the release date of Celine's new English album...

 

YES! I hope they have fun with teasing us regarding the album's release.

 

Single date.

Album date.

A new video!

Some big appearances!

 

I am ready for some fresh, BIG English Celine Dion songs with her epic vocals and her iconic TONE in 2018! No Granny / bedroom voice. I want her to sound like HERSELF because that's who we all fell in love with and that's who became an ICON.

Now, why can't she look like that when she's on national TV?!

 

Right? She’s perplexing sometimes.

maybe I misudenstood you but that's a photo editing... I mean... they are being ironical with Céline/ Celine Dion.... Probably meaning that the curse for Céline brand is that he is going to make shirts of Céline Dion.... Here's the original pic:

It's crazy that such an old video could suddenly by trending!

The power of socialmedia.

 

I really wonder how her career would be if we had it back than.

Posted a link to the story in the Birthday thread, but here's an excerpt:

 

"Today: The re-invention of Céline

 

Whatever is happening with Céline right now, it's so much better than a comeback. It's not like she ever went away, for one thing, and in the last year, it's seemed like Céline's been taking on the world — red carpets, fashion shows and even kids' hockey games — with the same goofy, open-hearted enthusiasm that she's usually kept to the stage.

 

And then there's the fashion. There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light; there were things she should never do again; but then they always seemed right. Artist Lauren Tamaki says she's living for all of it. "This is her time now," says [artist Lauren] Tamaki. "It's a renaissance."

 

For her tribute to Céline, the New York-based/Calgary-raised artist drew the superstar in the Stephane Rolland gown she wore to last spring's Billboard Music Awards. But unlike her actual Billboard Music Awards performance — a restrained but spot-on rendition of "My Heart Will Go On" — Céline's beating her chest. It's a signature move, one reportedly labelled "The Céline Salute" by members of her inner circle.

 

Sticklers will note that the "salute" has not been seen in the wild for years, though it may be seared in the memory of anyone who watched the 1998 Oscars. According to Tamaki, the piece represents Céline's past and present hyper-dramatic glory: "classic Céline with new fashion Céline."

 

"I wanted to try and illustrate how I feel when a [chest bump] moment happens, so sparkles, lightning, sunshine, lightning," she laughs. "She controls the weather with her awesomeness."

 

"I think she represents Canada so well, just because she's a goofy *CENSORED*," jokes the artist.

 

"She's so loved, in our country and beyond. I can't imagine a world without her."​

http://m.revistavani...nos-icono/30119

the thing with articles like that she doesn't care now , maybe she cared in the past. but now she is older and as an older human being , she knows that it is impossible that everyone likes her. And when he (or she, i don't care to know) that it is middle class white woman who listens to her, as being one of the x generation myself , i don't care either. Millenials don't care , i don't, and less of the bunch, her. And maybe this one of the reasons that she is cool now. There would be a lot more to say about it, but i don't want to write an essay.

[scielle]

From the Globe & Mail:

 

In Quebec, the love for Céline Dion goes on (and on)

 

"One of my favourite pieces of memorabilia is a 1994 souvenir edition of the Quebec celebrity gossip magazine 7 Jours covering Céline Dion’s all-but-royal wedding at Montreal’s Notre-Dame Basilica. It sits in a banker’s box of magazines spanning Ms. Dion’s career, including a 2016 special issue of 7 Jours that shows her grieving at her husband’s funeral in the same church where they were married 21 years earlier.

 

As a journalist, I could never pretend to understand Quebeckers without understanding their relationship with the woman who has inspired more headlines, dinner-party conversations, magazine covers, TV specials and general fascination than possibly any other figure in the province’s history. If the Canadian cultural elite started ignoring Ms. Dion long ago, that is definitely not the case for Quebeckers. Their love and possessiveness goes on and on and on.

 

If you haven’t been following her career, you might think she peaked two decades ago, when she recorded My Heart Will Go On, the theme song from the movie Titanic that, for better and for worse, has come to define her. But really, she was just getting started. Indeed, among her contemporaries – Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey or Madonna – Ms. Dion is a model for managing stardom.

 

Ms. Houston’s downhill spiral was long documented by the tabloids before her tragic death in 2012. Ms. Carey lost her voice and her dignity, culminating in a disastrous New Year’s Eve performance in 2016 that cemented her has-been status. Madonna became irrelevant as Lady Gaga upstaged her in both talent and showmanship.

“Think of the comparison between Celine Dion, who is going to be 50, and Madonna …You can’t be Madonna at 50,” University of Montreal communications professor Line Grenier told Montreal’s La Presse in one of a series of articles it published leading up to Ms. Dion’s 50th birthday on Friday.

 

For Quebeckers, Céline (with the accent, s’il vous plaît) is Céline, at any age.

 

She is the family member who made good, but who never forgot where she came from. And where she came from is nothing to write home about. Working-class Charlemagne, Que., is an unroyal place, even if its name and that of its most famous daughter evoke monarchs of a sort.

 

Ms. Dion, the youngest of 14 children, was just 12 when René Angélil persuaded her mother to let him manage her daughter’s career. No one could have imagined then the ride that was in store for them. Mr. Angélil and Ms. Dion carried on a secret affair for years before it became public in 1993. They married a year later. Quebeckers have been glued to their tabloids, TV sets and tablets for all of it.

 

Mr. Angélil got most of the credit (and criticism) for Ms. Dion’s career hits and misses while he was alive. And while those David Foster-produced power ballads were tedious to some, no one could deny the quality of Ms. Dion’s voice or the gazillion bucks she made exploiting it to become one of the top-selling recording artists of all time.

 

What has surprised many, however, is how she has come into her own since Mr. Angélil’s death. Many Célinologists (yes, there are academics who study the phenomenon that she is) expected her to fade from show business in widowhood. Instead, she has taken control of her career, firing her late husband’s hand-picked successor as her manager and shown herself to be as savvy a deal-maker as Mr. Angélil.

 

In early 2017, she returned to Las Vegas for yet another stint on the strip, making enough money in a few short months to come in fourth on Forbes magazine’s list of the highest-paid women in the music industry in the year to June, 2017. While she was sidelined recently by a hearing disorder, she plans to return to Las Vegas after surgery.

Where she has really stood out since Mr. Angélil’s death, however, is as a fashion icon, winning effusive praise in the European press for her daring choices and sitting next to Vogue editor Anna Wintour during Paris Fashion Week last year. She filmed a video for Vogue that was immortalized in a parody by Quebec comedian Marc Labrèche on Radio-Canada’s 2017 year-end revue show.

 

Last summer, when Ms. Dion popped by Montreal for the launch her own line of handbags, she held court for hours as emotional fans and curious reporters sought to ask how the widow and single mother was faring on her own.

 

“C’est moi le boss,” she replied, insisting that she runs the show now, and providing a case study in aging gracefully that made Quebeckers prouder than ever of her.

At 50, Céline still rocks their world."

I was told the movie was horrible and I shouldn't waste a second on it.

 

But now there is a reason to watch it

Could / should probably post this in the Ashes thread, but....

 

CBC Radio's Q culture show aired a piece / discussion about the Ashes video today. Listen to it here: http://www.cbc.ca/ra...track-1.4646808

 

To the uninitiated, this is very much a hipster arts / culture show. And they, too are all on board for the new Celine:

"She can do no wrong", "she's entering the post-modern phase of her career", "matron saint of pop music", "she's never been cooler", "we're all rooting for her", "there's never been a better time for a Celine Dion comeback"... basically all love.

 

Interestingly, they point to her Katrina interview as a turning point to public perception about her.

 

Also, re-reading that Entertainment Weekly article that was posted multiple times in the Ashes thread... and I think that's the first time I ever saw Celine referred to as "subversive".

Katrina interview? the "Take The Kayak!"?

[Critiaslux]

 

 

Katrina interview?

 

Her CNN interview.

At that time, certain criticized her to be too emotional.

Now, she is considered as sincere.
