Celine (Las Vegas show) [ends: June 8th, 2019] - Official topic

[Nmj]

 

 

Hmmm... and is that bad?

 

Didn't she Céline abandon her style with ANDHC and OH, and look where it led because of that "change"? An album who was in the talks of every magazine and music review and that received massive radio airplay everywhere?

 

And... what's Céline's style? Does she have one? Or does she self-imposes a style, when in her inner self she's yearning to sing other things?

 

Too many questions, artistically and musically... Very few answers we ever get...

 

I don’t consider ANDHC or OH a change in style or far cry from her previous work.

 

Mariah Carey and Madonna did whatever it took to sell that work. Change is good, change of style tho just to sell a record and be relevant is just desperate.

Oh but they are! It's not heavy metal but definitely they're not the typical Celine Dion ballad that people was accostumed to hear from her for a long time during the 90s. Either ANDHC, I'm Alive or IDAN, all of them were a good breath of fresh air to her singles catalogue, nothing to do with the previous singles from LTAL and let alone Falling Into You.

 

With IDAN we could even notice they were trying to speed things up a bit with her first real dance single offered to radios in her career (and mission accomplished, because she got all the attention from radios again with this track, with the extended bonus that now clubs were even playing her).

 

Same as happened with That's The Way It Is, that single started all this progression. With that single, there was a new Céline who was clearly screaming out loud to be heard in pop radios by new generations of fans, and get closer to a younger audience. That could have never happened if she had kept releasing singles in the line of LTAL and MHWGO or The Reason

I’m not speaking of singles. I’m saying work in general.

 

Her previous albums had that fresh of air they just never pushed them, therefore her style didn’t change.

 

Falling Into You: that had songs like, “Make You Happy” and “ Your Light” both a breath of freshness while staying true to herself.

Let’s Talk About Love: that had songs like, “Just A Little Bit Of Love” & “Why oh Why” both different but staying true to herself.

 

Celine has never a abandoned her style, Madonna for example her new stuff is nothing even close to her rise in the 80s.

[Dancing_Queen]

 

 

Not over 50 (because Céline isn't there yet), but all of these have had the same success well in their 40s and mid 40s, whereas Céline had already been ignored in radios by 39:

 

Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Kylie Minogue or Janet Jackson.

 

No disrespect to these ladies, but Janet and Kylie haven't been musically relevant since the early '00's? And do you think many in the GP could name a Mariah-song more recent than We Belong Together? (2005)

 

Most mega stars have about 15 years of true musical relevance if they're lucky (I'm not counting fluke one-off hits or collabs with 'hot' artists like in J.Lo's case).

Madonna seems to be the exception to confirm the rule.

 

What differentiates Céline from her peers is that -consciously or not- she was already preparing for the next stage of her career when coming off her peak. Unlike some of her peers that are still desperately hoping to regain the type of fame that is reserved for fresher, newer artists (like it or not).

 

Tell me, what is the wiser, healthier approach? Fighting against time? Or accepting its passing and carve out a new role for yourself? (legend/touring force)

MADONNA may be a legend but she’s not any more relevant than Celine is in 2018.

And yet that's what has kept her relevant until recently However Céline has always insisted in the same type of song, back and forth with ballads and covers, and in 2013... BAM. That's not working anymore for her.

 

So maybe *if* Celine had risked more (instead of staying in her comfort zone all the time), she would have stayed relevant beyond her 40s too...

 

What works for some doesn't necessarily have to work for others.

I don't think any of these artists are fighting against time. They're just singing and creating the music they believe in.

 

Céline got lost BIG TIME with LMBTL. It's about time she finds herself, with whatever style she's comfortable with, but go all the way and 200% with it. Don't stay halfway again and go nowhere.

 

AND what's more important: DON'T release a pop album (2003) or an edgy album (2007) or a modern-sound album (2013) and then systematically ignore it every night on a permanent show that you're doing since ages ago, to come with a bunch of covers and the same old hits of your repertoire That's what's most stupid, silly, negligent and makes you lose all credibility for radios.

Madonna released music and toured with success but she was not anymore relevant than Celine was with music at age 49.she just made headlines for being a fraction what she “used to be “.

I don’t think a artist who releases a song like “Hero” and “believes in it” can also release rubbish like “Touch My body”and believe equally in both. Either she never believed in her previous style or she doesn’t believe in her current style. It’s so different to be equally believed in or consider evolving. It’s what I consider desperate to sell.

Well I could hear her single "4 Minutes" (feat. Justin Timberlake) receive a pretty MASSIVE decent radio airplay back in 2008, when she was 49... I can't say the same of Céline's LMBTL at 45 sorry... nor Taking Chances at 39.

I believe that had more to do with Justin Timberlake who was everywhere at that time. Say Celine was chosen instead of Madonna for the same exact song in the same year and if she was 49 the song would have had the same success.

 

If on the next album Celine recorded a duet with Ed Sheeren for this album and released it as a single guarteened it would be a HUGE success. Instead they opted for a no longer relevant Neyo for the LMBTL album. Had she collaborated with Neyo when he was everywhere with his first two albums “incredible “ would have been more successful.

But hey, this thread is about Vegas. I don't want to turn it into a Céline vs. Madonna/Madonna vs. Céline topic.

 

Let's keep with this nice conversation about Céline's turning point in radios from 2003 and on and what may had Vegas got to do with it. Let's talk about You And I...

 

2004: They release a new English single, You And I, a new studio recording, to promote her Vegas show and her just released new live album from that show.

 

But let's see how this single is presented:

 

1) It's a new uptempo song. With it, they clearly want to continue the fresh trend they started with TTWII, ANDHC, IA, and followed with IDAN and OH during her latest English album. It's clearly an attempt to keep her name relevant in radios while she's in Vegas and a way to say "hey, despite being singing in the other corner of the planet, I keep doing music and want to stay relevant for the listeners and be talked about". Nice try and the intention is good but...

 

2) It's a studio song to promote a LIVE album. First odd move that is hard to understand.

 

3) The single is presented with the artwork of her Vegas album (a live show!) A live show that:

3.1 The show has nothing to do with the tone of this single (or viceversa) and

3.2 The single is not even performed during the show!!! Grrrrrreat. Amazing!!! :rolleyes:

 

4) And if all above wasn't enough, the single didn't get not a even a poor single TV performance to support it. Bravo.

 

All in all, all this chain of wrong decisions were probably hard to digest for radios and in my opinion it has been one of her most stupid moves (and last ones) in he radio career. The song was good, but it looks as if they did merits to blunder it time and again.

 

A studio single featuring the artwork of a live show, in which the song is not even part of it? Of course radios didn't buy this . Music DJs and journalists couldn't take seriously a singer that is doing a live show and releases a studio track to promote that show that is not even performed in that setlist. You're either promoting your Vegas adventure or wanting to stay relevant in radios with an uptempo song (but you can't be in both worlds pretending not to care about one another)

 

(and why on Earth couldn't her team release a studio picture of her, like everyone else does??)

 

With this I don't mean to say that Céline nor Sony had big pretentions with this single (which clearly was released to promote the Vegas live album), but for God's sake, if you want to release a new English single worldwide, at least be coherent and do it right, don't mix things up with your live show and try to confuse everyone with a studio track that is not part of your show. What do you want radios to say when they're introducing your new single, "hey listen to this new Celine Dion song, nowhere to be seen because she's not singing it anywhere?"

 

That was 2004, her latest English single until Taking Chances arrived, more than 3 years later. In a singer's career, when you've got your public and the industry used to releasing new music every 1-2 years, almost 4 years without new English material may seem a lifetime. And by 2007, many radios had already forgotten about her.

 

The rest until Loved Me Back To Life (and so on) is history, as they say...

Madonna and Celine has different focus in their life. Whatever their choises is, it's their right. As a fans maybe we wish for something different, but they ain't puppet on a string.

The release of “You and I” made zero sense on so many levels... but so did the entire “A New Day... Live In Las Vegas” CD. It was recorded during a time when Céline’s vocals were less than stellar, and coupled with a DVD featuring that terrible “One Year One Heart” documentary that includes, recycled footage from the ANDHC sessions, and Céline performing MHWGO on a soundstage, lip syncing to the album version from 7 years prior.

 

Not only that, but a huge miss is that “Ain’t Gonna Look The Other Way” was included as the second studio track, and now completely lost. It’s one of her best songs that barely saw the light of day.

 

Also, the single of “You and I” is still available to buy on iTunes and is listed as “You and I (Live)”

Ain't Gonna Look The Other Way, don'g get me started with that. That's a brilliant song! Only these 2 new studio songs that they threw in the album as if they were leftovers, they're worth more than many of the songs included in standard tracklist of the LMBTL

 

And yet we continue with the mystery of when did she actually record these 2 new studio songs. 2004? 2003? 2002? Because there's no footage of it, as all the OH album.

 

But the whole 2003/2004 albums are a total mess in terms of concept, promotion and planification. If there was ever a concept.

 

Do you want to talk about HYEBIL and picking it as a single in 2003 (when it was included in the ANDHC album a year ago)? When you had songs like Faith, Reveal and Naked on the same album? Was that really a spontaneous, natural decision or was that made totally and deliberately on purpose to kill Céline's career on the radio, once and for all??? Don't want to sound as if there was a plot all of a sudden but... it's exactly what it looked like

Madonna is the only one who really has an international career equivalent to Céline's.

They other ones mentioned don't... and they don't get much radio play either... JLo does but mainly because of her collaborations with younger artists.

And Vegas keeps Céline on the map, but i think she could do less than 70 shows a year. 40 shows would be just fine.

Where's that map? Because I think Europe may need a compass trying to find their way to her, since 2005 moreless

 

(Or her Sony Music team that picks and sends her singles to radios since then, for what matters here )

Apparently radios are full of Vegas haters in that case...

 

I don't hate the idea of Vegas, the fact that Vegas actually separated her way and isolated her from radios and all around for many years, that is what I hate.

 

Both things could have lived together with each other perfectly, both worlds were possible, 1) if she had had a minimum of interest in supporting the albums she released when performing those songs in her shows, AND 2) if she had had a DECENT record label behind her that did her job and defended her music in radios sending the right singles. But both of these conditions failed, while one side only cared first and foremost about performing the same old hits and tons of covers and the other side just turned their back to her and didn't care at all...

 

So... that's how you work for a slow, but sure oblivion from radios and public and you finally earn it (2007/2013).

I didn’t see those two studio songs on the live album as a way to promote her music. I honestly feel like they served their purpose of what Celine intended for them to do. I see them as a “gift” to give her fans since Celine and Rene had no interest at all in releasing a album during the entire AND run. You can’t really count the “Miracle” album.

 

YOU AND I & IAGLOTW both were just extras for the fans, not intended to sell a album or promote a show. That was the purpose of the live album (which I agree was her worst vocal years of her career ) but nonetheless. Two bonus songs were just that A BONUS.

I’m sitting here wondering where the train derailed...

[Xpresso]

Vegas wasn't just ANDHC and One Heart... She could have had a bit more radio sucess at the very beginning of Vegas (just maybe) but you have to think about the whole picture. And after 40 years of age, radios look at artists differently.

Céline has succeeded in maintaining her career and reached legend status. Not bad if you ask me. And all that while in Vegas.

Exactly. “One Heart”album was created for the marketing purposes of her show and the Chrysler sponsorship. I love the album and glad they did.

 

I think without the AND show there wouldn’t had been “one heart” would that be worth the trade Javier?

 

Must be bittersweet for you because album you adore was released the same day her Vegas adventure began.

HYEBIL was included in/released as a single from OH because it was being used in the Chrysler campaign. Chrysler sponsored that album, along with her show. That album was released for 2 different reasons. Chrysler promotion, "gift to fans..."

The exclusion of “The Power Of Love,” “Seduces Me,” “To Love You More” and “I Surrender” was absolutely moronic. Especially with the release being her first English language concert released to CD. The live cut of “I Surrender” should have been the single to promote the album.

Exactly. “One Heart”album was created for the marketing purposes of her show and the Chrysler sponsorship. I love the album and glad they did.

 

I think without the AND show there wouldn’t had been “one heart” would that be worth the trade Javier?

 

Must be bittersweet for you because album you adore was released the same day her Vegas adventure began.

 

Without her Vegas show, she would have either continued the promo of ANDHC through 2003 or toured with the album, and another album would have eventually followed in 2004, One Heart or another one.
