Random news, thoughts and common questions about Celine (closed)

[Celine Fan 77]

A few weeks ago, I found a topic in this forum where so many Celine logos were available (One heart logo, Miracle logo... etc) I forgot where the topic is and I need the logos, please, does somebody know which section is the topic in or the link to the topic? I need the logos!

[Annajensen]

Okay, thanks.

[QueenCeline]

I have a question regarding logos. For those people who make signatures etc, how do you get the cursive Celine on there?? Is there a file that you guys have that is ONLY the letters with no background?? I cannot seem to find a way to get JUST the letters and nothing else, not even a white background.

[Celinefanatic07]

YAY!! THANKYOU!

[Matias]

I wonder WHY the logo was taken out from her cd's after the 2002, it was lovely and really a signature!, everyone knew it was CELINE DION only by seeing that logo

[Samantha-Jayne]

Haven't seen this before. Love the little guy in part 7, sooo cute and a lovely voice.

[Celine Fan 77]

Yes.... BUT WHAT ABOUT MY QUESTION?

[Claudette]

I haven't seen this before. Thanks for posting! What happened at 3:30 in part 6?

 

By the way, I prefer seeing her vocal chords nice and healthy like in this video. The part that they showed in the Michel Jasmin interview from the movie when she was sick was a bit gross... or maybe it is just because you don't see the part where they put the tube down her throat in this video...

[Pass The Mic] Auto-Tune: A Rant

 

Public Domain

Aretha Franklin may not hit every note in perfect pitch every time, but no one could argue that she posseses stellar vocal talent.

 

by Andi Agnew

March 17, 2010

 

There once was a local television commercial with cute children singing "This Little Light of Mine." One of the cutest things about children singing is the fact that they are children, and therefore they may not hit every single note spot-on. But this commercial was so far from cute I had to mute it every time it came on. These children sounded like robots, their little lights magically shining in perfect pitch. The culprit was a relatively new technology called Auto-Tune, which automatically tunes a pitch to make it perfect. Auto-Tune also automatically drives me over the edge just about any time I hear it.

 

Sasha Frere-Jones wrote in The New Yorker that oil-industry engineer Andy Hildebrand developed Auto-Tune. One obvious use of the program was on Cher's 1998 song, "Believe." Artists have used this effect more and more into the 21st century, changing the sound of pop music as we know it.

 

The problem with Auto-Tune is that it has become something that is abused, used as a safety net when perhaps the vocalist needs a little more practice. Listen to Aretha, Ella or even early Madonna. Those ladies did not have the luxury of Auto-Tune, and they did not necessarily hit every note in perfect pitch, but who would dare say that they weren't or aren't stellar vocalists? In fact, Madonna is not really that stellar of a vocalist, but she still sold millions of albums. Real talent does not need much in the way of technology. But even Madonna gave in to the temptation of Auto-Tune on her 2000 album, "Music"— a sign of things to come.

 

This age of "American Idol," where even runners-up get record deals, gives the impression that one does not have to work that hard to make it. "Idol" contestants and winners don't write their own songs or play their own instruments most of the time. Auto-Tune takes them to the next step of practically not having to sing their own songs, either. Many artists seem content to phone it in when it comes time to record vocals, because they know that the audio engineer can fix anything with Auto-Tune.

 

The popular TV series "Glee" has used Auto-Tune to noticeable excess. Never mind that lead actress Lea Michele has performed on Broadway since she was 8—her voice is Auto-Tuned along with the rest of the cast. One episode featured the kids spontaneously singing Nelly's "Ride Wit Me," sans Auto-Tune, and it fantastically removed all doubt that these kids are truly talented. Auto-Tune makes it difficult to sort out who has the talent and who doesn't.

 

The recent re-make of "We Are the World" brought together an interesting array of today's "top artists," and started right out of the gate with the Auto-Tuned vocal stylings of Justin Bieber, whoever he is. Later, the effect is used on nearly every artist with a solo, even Barbra Streisand. I could write an entire column on what is wrong with the new version of the song, but the most egregious offender was Auto-Tune.

 

Some artists won't use Auto-Tune; they are just as worried as I am about the increasing rash of performers who use it regularly. Death Cab for Cutie protested the overuse of Auto-Tune by wearing blue lapel ribbons at the Grammys in 2009. In a 2006 Pitchfork interview, Neko Case rips Shania Twain and Celine Dion, among others, for their overuse of the effect: "When I hear Auto-Tune on somebody's voice, I don't take them seriously," Case said.

 

Some of our local musicians are guilty of using Auto-Tune to excess. I am not going to call any names, but I will say I have heard both studio recordings and live performances from these artists, and I can safely attest that these people have beautiful voices that do not require "tweaking" with Auto-Tune. Maybe the vocal tracks will take longer to produce; maybe the singers will need to drink some hot tea and do some warm-up exercises before laying down the track—but it will be well worth it.

 

Technology is amazing. Where once the only way to record your original music was to spend thousands of dollars hiring professionals who only use the most expensive gear, now musicians can use inexpensive or free demos of software to record their songs in the comfort of their one-bedroom apartments. Auto-Tune is just another in a long line of nifty effects that definitely has its place in modern music recording. Like alcohol and bacon, it is fine to use in moderation, but I would like to see more emphasis on the natural talents that singers possess.

 

And yes, even the tiny little voices of children deserve to be heard in their natural, imperfect state.

[fan2celinedion]

Of course she does!!! but it don't matter EVERYBODY use it! even Michael Jackson! But among the auto-tune user there are those who sound amazing even without auto-tune and those who really can't sing whitout it!

[ghazal]

i think it doesnt matter and ofcourse it is something usual

[Claudette]

Does this answer your question:

 

“I saw the evolution of the industry. A lot of my skills, old and new I am able to use are based upon knowing the theories of actual recordings. Those experiences helped me, for instance, when I worked with Celine Dion who doesn’t record using new school techniques whatsoever,” explained Stewart.

You'll find many quotes like that if you start searching...

 

By the way, there already is a topic for this.

[ImAliveUK]

Auto tune is always used on the studio recordings these days - but live performances from Celine are not - even the lipped tracks. HOWEVER - AND LILV DVD was auto-tuned - only on the lipped tracks - to make them sound slightly different.

It has tons of pictures of her, videos, wallpapers and more. I love this site.

 

I found these pictures there. Tell me what you think of this site, and give more sites with pictures of her!

[Nando Férri]

She uses that sometimes for that "T-pain" effect and that's it! You can listen that in the beginin of "Rain, Tax" and backvocals in "Sorry for love" for example. But not to correct her voice. When people uses that to correction, it's SOOOO CLEAR that it's changed. And hey! Just watch to some recording sessions from Celine, and you'll see that she doesn't really need that.

Thanx for this..many great photos..
