Céline on Billboard Music Awards - May 21st, 2017


Recommended Posts

She can continue posting in French, and below should have a translation in the English language that is a world language, some of her post, as an example of the tests of the next tour, are in French without the translation.

Céline is an international singer, her career exceeds the barriers of the Francophone countries, her English songs are better known and her career in English is solid as the French.

I think there is no better marketing for Celine at the moment than sticking to her roots and even prioritise her francophone fan-base (assuming she does that by posting in French first and then in English). Her bonds with the francophone markets are so strong and stable nowadays, despite the fact that her first French album was released 36 years ago. I think this feat is remarkable and needs to be shared. In a way she reminds people of who she is. And by the end of the day, maybe - I say maybe - these French posts might contribute to non-francophone people relating her with something more than the Titanic, ballads and Vegas...

 

 

I see what you are saying, and I can't speak for other English speaking markets, but I know that definitely in America...generally, when people see any foreign language, they're too lazy to even google translate it, let alone read past it to get to the English portion of the post. People would just scroll on by. Sad that foreign culture isn't appreciated in our own living rooms, as much as it is of we were to visit another country. When an artist is international, and known in every country on the planet, it's just smart to reach as many people as you can. In this case, using French as the lead in language to a social media post would be slightly detrimental. Like I said, I understand what you're saying, but getting back to one's roots is very personal, and personal should never mix with business. You must take the route that appeals to the masses. Making sure that as many eyes see the words you want to put out there.

Don't forget that by taking the route that appeals to masses one must not lose focus in who they are. Of course you want to market yourself and put yourself out there but selling a version of yourself that isn't real does you no favours. Maybe by having French first it's her way of saying this is who I am. Then again it might also be business as for when we ( at my work) get a communication that comes from English Canada it's English first, French 2nd, however if it comes from French Canada it's French first, English 2nd.

I do think at this point, it's safe to say that Celine has far from lost who she is. She always mentions and remembers where she came from. That was still evident in 2013 when she was talking about her family using both sides of the plate. It's so endearing. Appealing to the masses as an artist, I wouldn't say it's abandoning who you are...it's more drawing people in who want to know who you are. When you're appealing to the general public, you have to communicate in the most common way possible. Especially as an entertainer.

you really think it is important for Celine to begin her messages in english always? Most people who receives her messages on facebook or twitter knows her enough, the majority knows her first language is french, and if they don't , it is about time to be informed about it.. :)

You underestimate Céline. She is French speaking and it's highly commendable that she writes in French first/ like how she always says a few words in French accepting awards.

 

There has been and will be no detriment to her career because she captions her Instagram posts in French first- that is ridiculous.

Ok maybe detrimental was the wrong word to use, and I did lead off by saying that I wouldn't speak for other English speaking markets. Of course I would read through to see what was being said, or translate it through an online translator if there was no English to read. I just know that most American's are too lazy to do so. I was merely stating from a marketing perspective for any international artist that it's smart to reach as many people universally. I'm not underestimating Celine...I'm being honest about the public...and even some fans. Mind you, I don't mean to be insulting. Not at all. But, how many people on this forum alone will instantly ask someone else to translate an article or a blurb, instead of plugging it into google first? It happens all the time. That's my point. If they were interested enough, they would all take that initiative. Instead, they rely on other people to do it for them And if it didn't get translated here, they most likely won't bother with it.

I can still not find that performance... It's too bad you can't watch it in Germany. Would love a HD video...

Et la vie glisse sur l'eau du temps

La vie resiste, prend son elan

Pour un baiser elle peut se poser

Le temps qui compte est toujours compte

I been skiping this song for years, after so many years I find it so boring...but the BMA version made me fall in love again, the little changes in the way she sung it,this slower version gave it a new "feel" to the song I hope she sings it like this in Vegas!
