"Imperfections" - Official Topic


Recommended Posts

Posted

1. This song is literally *made* for a tour setlist, especially for the end of a set ... as the outro can be stretched out indefinitely to fill the time lost to a costume change. My suspicion is that, since it is vocally not challenging, Celine is unsure of how to interpret it live, and fears it may be underwhelming / not translate well. But she should do it.

 

2. Sony is clearly using a more advanced strategy for the marketing of this album, and most likely, the three new songs released last month were test cases built on different marketing models. Imperfections represents the "streaming earworm" model but it is not staying true to the "Celine model" that has always worked in the past.

 

3. The "Celine model" is simple: her best vocal performances are always the songs that people respond to the most enthusiastically. "Make You Happy" could have satisfied some algorithmic market in 96 had algorithms been used to deliver music to listeners back then, and clearly, it was more "current," but it wasn't the most impactful vocal. The best vocals from that album were the songs that became hits.

 

4. What is the best vocal from "Courage"? This is the only question I'm interested in. Is it PMLALS? Because if so, that can be a hit. I think it's really become, again, that simple, and this is the marketing angle they are forgetting. The best vocals from all of the post-ATW albums were largely downplayed while more "marketable" tracks were released as singles. People want a classic Celine Dion song that makes them sit back and think, "Wow" in silence as they listen. It's not as complicated as they think it is. Find the best vocal, and promote the hell out of it.

 

You've put it all nicely.

Due to her fashion stuff, she gained lots of popularity among the young public and I was glad to see all the positive comments

coming from this specific public about I song. I think she will have more songs that will be direceted at this public.

 

It seems that Sony will release more single/singles from the upcoming album.

PMLALS catched my attention from the very first seconds I heard it. I love the Classy Celine

and enjoy most when her songs take one to a musical, kind of journey while listening to it.

In the same time, I find it nice that I could enjoy modern tunes as well (Imperfections).

 

Once this song will be added to the setlist, it will have stronger streamings.

I can't wait for the moment to hear it live.

Almost 3 Million views it's quite nice given the momentum has stopped

once she got sick... it will go higher once she is back on track.

The video is alright but I think it would have been a better for it to show people getting her dressed and made up, (like the backstage scenes of her quick change, ect. ect.) to hide her imperfections then at the end keep it the same, by showing them. After watching it a couple of times it's like, ok, nothing earth shattering. Just my thoughts after a couple of watches. :wub: :)
I have had the time of my life following this woman! Much love.

Does anyone know the lyrics to Imperfections, Courage, Lying Down or any newly released song off the upcoming album? I have chosen not to listen to any of these songs until the album comes out, but I'd love to know the lyrics to Celine's newly released songs. If someone would be so kind to post them to the forum that would be lovely. :)

There are lyrics on Apple Music and also fan-made YouTube videos. You could watch those with the volume muted.

Pretty decent considering she's done zero promotion besides her instagram account LOL. Also the video is really a video of her photoshoots. At least it's conceptualized, but it's still a basic video, no major wow factor, besides it shows her taking her make up off.

But a great idea to offer the fans a music video. Using tour intro video footage and letting her perform the song is a simple way to montage something together that is useful. Jlo does this all the time. But in case of Imperfections, the video fits the song so incredibly well! I love this music video. There are so many interesting, esthetic scenes. Good job!

Celine fans let's get together, let's make a big effort and for Imperfections video to reach 10 million views.

Let's watch it every day and replay it, let's also listen to the song on spotify as many times as possible.

Very happy with the results this single gets :)

I checked some videos from yesterday and saw they actually played the video

I believe it was in the beginning of the show, then I was thinking

"Oh is she going to sing this one live?"

But then no, hope it's only about time she will ;)

Rising step by step.

 

It will be a long road, but as long as it is on the right track.

 

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

The more I listen to the song the more inappropriate I find it as single choice. :mellow: Simple reason is that it lacks melody. I think it an OK song with a nice message. And that's about it.

 

Hope it rises on charts though and does well eventually! I will be happy about that of course...!
