I reckon a little time in studio, filming a music video, family time, then maybe sorting setlist/rehearsal etc for tour.

Don't tthink she has that long between lv and the tour does she?

So, now that's she's got two months off, what do we suppose she's up to?

I guess this was the time originally earmarked for promo of the French album, but now that that's not happening until the fall, is she doing more recording? Maybe even getting the English record started?

Surely some rehearsals for the upcoming French mini-tour are on the agenda, but beyond that do we know of anything else on the schedule?

 

I just hope she takes some time for herself and the boys. The last two months must have been such an emotional whirlwind.

I sure hope she gets some rest. She'll be rehearsing, for sure, but at least she won't go in to do the show a few times a week, so that'll give her some relief, I'm sure. If she does go into Paris for Encore Un Soir, I think it would be neat if she showed the boys around again, now that they're older. We'll just have to see!

 

But I could also see recording for the French album (if more is needed), as well as a Music video shoot (PLEASE bring Xavier Dolan!!!) and probably a photo shoot. The latter may be wishful thinking on my end but the Alix Malka ones are getting old!!

 

Ultimately, I just hope she takes the time she needs and hope she can surround herself with people who help her :)

You mean drawings? I loved those! I wouldn't mind one bit if the artwork for the new album consisted of drawings again (though not at the expense of a new photo shoot - we need something new at this point, she's been using the same old pics for far too long.) I just think drawings / paintings / art as album covers are way more interesting than photo-shopped portraits.

Granted, the good thing about photos is they're a snapshot in time and tend to bring back memories much like family photo albums, and are a great way to document an artist's evolution. But on the flip side, there's always a risk of a really bad snapshot in time (Hello? 80s? :giggle: Some of those album covers are unintentionally hilarious now - and I don't mean Celine's!)

 

All in all, Celine's had some pretty great album covers! Falling Into You, S'il suffisait d'aimer, Sans attendre, D'eux, D'elles, Loved Me Back to Life, TCOML, TAST, All the Way... I think those are all pretty great!

 

Taking Chances though... that one was downright scary.

Do you think that's likely? Would she really cross the ocean for single promos? Album promo, sure. But has she been known to do that for singles, really, especially if it's so far in advance of actual album release?

 

And do we know for sure that Encore Un Soir will be the first single? I don't remember anymore whether that's been confirmed or whether it's just our conjecture.

 

But I could also see recording for the French album (if more is needed), as well as a Music video shoot (PLEASE bring Xavier Dolan!!!)

 

Second that!

 

Ultimately, I just hope she takes the time she needs and hope she can surround herself with people who help her :)

 

Amen.

 

Do you think she ever goes to RC's hockey games? Or would she be more likely to avoid them for fear of drawing too much attention? I wonder. I'm sure she'd love to be there from time to time to cheer him on, but it must be difficult for her to just how up to a community ice rink and not cause a commotion!

No I meant the photoshoot by Alix Malka. That was initially for SA. Some pix where used during promotion, but then the pictures were used for LMBT, the tourbook for the French Mini tour in 2013, then the second tourbook from Vegas and THEN the third Vegas tourbook! :rolleyes: :ranting:

I am really fed up now with these pictures, especially since they never used new candid pix from that shoot, but the same ones over and over again! :(

 

I wouldn't mind a more personal snapshot tourbook this time, but again, then I hope they use rare/new old photo's instead of photo's we already know.

So my neighbor just came running over to tell me before work that her mom surprised her with Celine tickets for May In Vegas for her birthday. She was all I just had to tell you first because I knew you'd be so excited! And jealous.

I don't know if she'll go to Paris for promotion... But at this point anything is possible. We'll just have to see. She may, but might not. For the album, of course she'll go to Paris to promote, we can be sure of that, but we will see. And yes encore un soir has been confirmed :)

 

I think she probably doesn't if she walked in after the game started and im sunglasses and quietly sat down she could probably be herself for once, a mother. Even if she does get commotion, I'm sure they'd let her see her son play hockey, I think other mothers would get that? I don't know. I'm just thinking out loud I suppose :P

I hope for new photos too!! Please please please record an amazing music video...

 

I do want her to rest and enjoy her family... But at the same time I know how much she wants to continue to succeed. These months off could ultimately bring so much to the album if she works a couple of days on the project.

 

She is now in a new chapter In her life... It would be great to have new visuals to support this artistically. The old ones will bring back memories ... I think she needs a fresh.... Even if they are to be used in the English album too...

''Have A Heart'' is a COVER! Original version was recorded in 1987 by singer Angela Clemmons. Then Celine did ''Partout Je Te Vois'' and in 1990 her own English version.

Yeah. As it turns out Incognito had 8 songs out of which 2 were covers. Could have been worse though: Unison has 3 covers in a tracklist of 10.

I really, genuinely don't understand the general allergy around here to covers. It's not like she writes her own material anyway, so why does it matter?

Oh that is actually quite interesting! I never knew that! On Angela's album the song is called Just Have A Heart.

 

Oh oh oh the cover, never spread your legs girls! It's not very lady like! :P :giggle:

Well IMO Incognito is still very original... For me completely new lyrics to a melody is quite different than covering a song word by word, note by note...

You wanted Celine to sing Carmen in her show. OF COURSE you don't understand why people prefer original material. :P It's fine for me though. :D

Well then, explain it to me. Please. Because I'm really hoping someone could articulate why covers are such an issue. Not aiming to be contrarian, just genuinely trying to understand the aversion.

For me it means this: I don't mind when Celine covers a song and makes it her own. Songs like IACBTMN, ABM, TPOL etc are really different from the original, she really added something to it.

But there are also covers that are nearly a carbon copy of the original, like When I Need You, At Last, Tu Nages. That adds nothing to her repertoire IMO and makes her more a karaoke singer than a real singer.

 

Then when it comes to live shows there are so many unnecessary covers like Purple Rain, Man In The Mirror, Rolling In The Deep, Lullaby. I find them unnecessary because Celine has recorded so many great original songs that could or should be sung in that spot. I am a fan of Celine and her songs, but to me it comes across as if Celine doesn't like the songs she recorded for her albums or that she doesn't believe in those songs. And that makes me sad. When I go to see Celine in concert, I want to hear HER songs that I love, not a Prince song or a Garth Brooks song or even an Adele song, if I want to hear those songs, I'll go to their concerts.

I have to disagree. When I Need You is not a carbon copy of the original version. The introduction is completely different, the climax too. Celine added several high notes and she went for head voice towards the end. The phrasing is also different at points.

 

TPOL and especially IACBTMN are much closer to the originals. Celine owned these songs because they became smash hits, not because she showed much originality when singing them. I don't know what you hear different in IACBTMN, maybe it is the fact that you find her voice more passionate and expressive!

Covers are an issue when Celine adds nothing to them. And most of her covers are just Celine adding her beautiful voice to the original. I also prefer to know that songwriters created a song especially for Celine. Makes the whole process come off as more special.

 

I mostly mind about the covers she chooses to incorporate to her live shows though. Because they just seem random and all over the place.

 

Anyway... What Whintey did with I Will Always Love You is the best example of how a cover should be done in order to show originality and true artistic ambition. :yes:

I'm about to go do that after discovering Tu Nages is a cover.... I had no idea!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always loved Tu Nages and now after listening to the original I feel like I was cheated... Céline should have recorded this with only piano like Anggun did... and she should have recorded it first! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
