New interviews - Album/Tour Courage

[Alex_Incognito]

 

 

Under his management we also got the amazing 2016 tour.

 

We'll probably never know what actually happened (there's only speculations), but I for one hoped he had stayed a little longer.

Hear hear! Her career really seemed like it was taking shape again on 2016. What an exciting time to be a fan and to sit in the middle of a sobbing audience in Montréal for her concert.

Why can’t people accept that maybe Aldo left just because he wanted to spend more time with his family, like he said. Of course, working with Céline would earn him much more money but probably it was just too much for him.

I guess no one really cares about the “no replies” part of the title of this topic, me included.

Because he supposedly had a multi-years plan ahead. He suddenly changed his mind and broke his engagement? It's shady.

 

Unless there's some private problems, an illness or else, that we don't know of, of course.

Nope. He's still in Vegas with the family (https://www.linkedin...mpaolo-3a683845), but probably just retired (mostly)?

 

I'm glad he's out of the picture. I think he was holding her back. There's one interview from the Aldo era I distinctly remember reading and thinking "wow, hope that's not a sign of things to come". See excerpt below. (Also, LOL, "next English album, due in 2017")

I think he was more interested in her selling household goods than being an artist.

Change has clearly done her well ever since she let him go (or he resigned..... but I believe it was probably a bit of both).

 

"But what if Dion comes to Giampaolo and suggests they do something radically different for the next English album, due out in 2017? [...]

So maybe we’ll see a different Céline Dion, I suggested.

“You can’t do radical things with an artist,” replied Giampaolo.

Well, you can, I countered.

“You can when you have a young artist,” he said. “But when you have an established artist, you have to be very careful. You can’t disappoint the fan base.”

But veteran artists do remake/remodel their careers, I argued, pointing to cases like Tina Turner and Johnny Cash, who went through late-career transformations.

Maybe, said Giampaolo, but don’t hold your breath for any Lady Gaga-esque moves. [Ha! Didn't Carl Wilson's article this week call her a pre-cursor to Gaga?!]

“I don’t see it today. My mind is not there,” he said."

I still believe that in 2017 they had enough songs recorded to release a new English album, but they decided to wait until Vegas ends and the world tour starts. I think they assumed that this strategy is better. And in the meantime they recorded some more songs and picked the best ones for Courage.

[mirage]

She was everywhere on TV and had nothing to promote though.

Her one off singles but that was it.

 

Now we have 3 real ones and none of it will be performed if they continue to ignore it.

Actually Aldo, I think did a great job during his short tenure as manager. I think he did a lot of great things as her manager, he started making her more of a social media figure, gave us more behind the scenes stuff, like the (winter song) and Celine was on television with nothing to promote, I can only imagine how much better this promotion would have been with him at the realm. He also hinted at a Sam Smith collab so I don’t buy the “holding back” Celine comment. I think Celine didn’t want him because he told her things of how things should be, and after René is no longer there, she seems to surround herself with two “yes men” managers.

[Ajax]

It s those yes men though that she made one of her most adventurous tour, certainly her best English album, got the fashion icon status, begun to propose oldies, acoustic version of her old hits or totally new arrangements and basically that the whole dionnaissance happened. Shitty set list are a thing totally inherited from the past and René unfortunately.

[mirage]

Those yes man have nothing to do with the dionaissance.

 

That was because of the fashion, Aldo got her on the right shows.

Those new arrangements is Scott his work.

 

Her saying I dont want to perform all the old ones, and some people say you need too, that is the fault of the 'yes men' too much influenced by René

[Ajax]

You re talking about some tv shows 3 years ago. I don t even see the link with what happened since then.

 

I’m not saying those say yes man are behind the Dionnaissance. I’m saying that the dionnaissance exploded under their management.

I was trusting that they had more planned... sorry guys... I dismissed your concerns last week with the lack of promo

 

Doesn’t even feel like a new album is out in terms of promo. It’s so poor tbh

in case someone wants to watch tf1 interview http://channelstream.net/tf1.php

the link should work but I don't know when the interview is airing exactly

 

I doubt we'll get some exclusive news but Celine looks beautiful

[scielle]

That was actually pretty cool. It was nice to see her reminisce. Different from all the other interviews in this promo cycle.

[Dancing_Queen]

I made a screen capture for those who couldn't watch.

Probably won't work in France though. TF1 often geo-blocks their content.

[mirage]

This was fun. Also with that iPad and some iconic moments. La Bas was hoping she would burst into singing that song.

 

Looks like she didn't clicked the vegas button on purpose

Let us not forget the cinematic epic that was Peanut Butter Solution!

You can actually watch the entire thing on Youtube, with Celine's Listen to the Magic Man at 1:01:30 & Michael's Song at 1:26:45.

And here she is singing one of them at the Genie Awards, introduced by Leslie Nielsen.

It was similar to the vault segment with Andy Cohen, I love the "Don't be hangry" part, did the term existed back on '84 or are we safe to say that Céline invented it? So cute. I've uploaded it https://streamable.com/m3uey

I've added a quick subtitle for those who don't understand French (excuse my mistakes).

You have to make them visible by clicking the caption symbol.

 

ETA: Like Mirage, I also noticed that she purposely did not click the Vegas one lol.

Ooh thank you for the subtitles that was quick!!

 

I wonder what her plans are for all the clothes she is been keeping for ages.

I would LOVE an exhibition with all her iconic outfits someday

Thanks so much. I loved the interview. She went down memory lane. It was fun and light. She was enjoying it. The ending was adorable with the 'Rene scence ' pun.

Sye and Renë indeed match! Renë-ssance and Celineassance! Edited November 23, 2019 at 11:43 PM by marc-02

It's "René sens", from "sentir" i.e. "to feel". She said the same thing in the Le Parisien interview (which, incidentally, was conducted at the Renaissance hotel!)

 

"Et l'hôtel s'appelle Renaissance…

René sens (elle sourit). Et il y a un cimetière en bas. Je suis sûre qu'il est avec nous. Quand je mets la main sur un magazine ou un livre, je tombe très souvent sur le mot courage. Je me dis : René me fait signe qu'il est là."

Tks so much, I could read it

[mirage]

It looks like this interview wasn't recorded at that mansion we talked about earlier?

 

It looked like Nikos was walking into a hotel to interview Céline.

 

So that mansion stuff, couldn't been interviews right?

As they also had lights outside, this one looks natural lighting outside. And for the GMA it was all dark if I recall.

Yeah, I think this one was filmed in Jersey (where she pre-taped the Macy's performance on the same day).

Believe the GMB interview was filmed at Academy Mansions. But it must have been something more.
