Céline Dion on Jimmy Fallon november 15

[dj_a_rock]

STOP the excuses!!! Get a manager Celine!!! This is a huge mistake. A very wrong move. The release date/week is the most crucial.

Stop the dramatics. She & team are doing brilliantly.

Erm. . I thought it was a great interview. Surprised by such a negative reaction here. She was funny; Jimmy was funny, and I don't really care about her promo strategy. She'll be fine and I'm not worried about how many albums she sells.

 

Best lines: "He didn't need an invitation [with regard to Jack climbing on the door]."

"Do you even know what a selfie is?" (Celine's blank stare was priceless, though obviously she's taken a million selfies with fans).

And the impromptu rendition of Jump was awesome.

 

This was much better than the average interview, in my opinion.

The interview WAS brilliant but there’s no doubting that it’s a bit bizarre she isn’t performing her songs anywhere. Over the last few years she’s appeared randomly on awards shows and chat shows etc for no real reason and performed something. Now she has a new album and is ignoring it. Very strange.

Maybe she’s not feeling well vocally and she’s trying to preserve her voice for the Montreal shows ? This is probably why she decided to sing Imperfections at the Macy’s Parade instead of a more challenging song such as Flying On My Own or Lying Down.

[Alice]

Definately! The video of the karaoke appearence and the outfits she wore the last couple of days are all over the greek media mentioning the new album as well (although we are a small market). Sadly the physical copy of the album is nowhere to be found, they told me to wait for another 1-2 weeks.

 

That's absurd!

Yeah i was disappointed she did perform a song. She was really cute and fun but it didn't seem like a lot of promo for the new album. Plus Jimmy had THREE other people on, they could've given her 2 segments and cut one of those others.

[Peppercorn1991]

Some of you are forgetting this new way of working is what has created a new generation of Celine fans and it is working. Her whole career has had an overhaul the past 3 years. This time they are doing things differently and it’s working.

 

Some of you are so used to the old recipe and it’s been trialed and tested over and over with the same disaster. LMBTL, TC anyone?

 

I personally do hope there will be more promo but right now I’m trusting in them... not done that in a long time.

I agree.. i found it in my local Tesco (uk grocery store) 1 cd left and under album of the week! Top row.. all orher albums for sale had numerous copies I hope the charts reflect this

They're clearly going with a different approach this time, given a) linear TV is not what it once was and the content of this album, and the audience they're trying to target, is definitely not the crowd with cable.

 

e.g. her showing up at karaoke and going viral is far more potent

 

I have to disagree. Going viral is great (though not something easily controlled, especially if said viral tweet isn't put out there by TC, so to count on that as promo wouldn't be wise imo) but the couple 100,000 likes from random people's Twitter doesn't make it more potent than millions of people tuning in to a late night TV show or the thousands to millions that will watch it on YouTube the next day imo. YouTube is at the moment one of the most popular internet sites, more than Twitter.

 

If late night TV audience isn't her target that's fine but it's still a good place to start. If online fandom is where their attention is at I also don't think the online interviews she's doing is reaching as many of this target they might have. She could be doing online outlets that reach more of her target demographic imo. If they are trying for online promotion than I assume it's because the demographic they want to reach is on the younger side than her well established followers.

 

If she is saving her voice she could have lipped whatever song. Wouldn't be the first time and it's better than no performance imo. At the very least they should've had Jimmy play some snippets of her singles to entice people watching to go listen to the album.

I thought they were not making a vinyl edition of the album. Why did Jimmy have a copy?

Neither of those albums flopped and she got wonderful exposure. Her career has never been a disaster. And since when is performing your own music a bad idea?

[nowanorris]

It wasn't a vinyl - it was just a cardboard cutout. Hopefully it does turn up on vinyl eventually.

[DionFanAlways]

Now I wish they would have played a game.

I liked it too. She was funny and quirky but not too silly and didn't sing her answers. She looked fabulous! I say any promotion is good for the album at this point. I wish she would have sang too but I still liked the interview part.

Kevin she hasn’t done a single TV / promotional appearance of ANY new song from the album. I do agree the general marketing and strategy (doing music videos again etc) is brilliant and much improved from previously however I don’t think it’s unrealistic to expect a singer to sing their new material during promotional appearances to be honest.

The thing about viral social media posts is that they will continue to be shared over and over again. People will see these posts multiple times, they’ll reach new people every day as well. The people who watch The Tonight Show will watch it once as it airs, or once on their DVR and never see it again. In 2019, social media posts definitely have more staying power than a TV appearance, as people spend most of their free time looking at their phones or tablets; and not watching television.

I'm surprised she didn't sing but someone must have data if it's worth performing or not.

I think it's a first for Celine not to perform during a visit on The Tonight Show. Let's see what the charts say next week... Maybe Sony knows something we don't!!

Maybe the show doesn't own money to pay the music rights

I’m telling people she didn’t sing because she was a last minute addition to an already fully booked show for Friday. All of the other 3 guests were announced way in advanced to Celine and usually they never have more than 3 guests, they had FOUR!

 

I think her management asked for that particular night because it was the same night the album was released AND because she was in NYC.

The Tonight Show probably jumped at the opportunity to have her on of course, but that’s when their job becomes sticky, they are faced in Predicament of deciding to cancel another guest ( a shady thing to do ) to open more room for Celine or just rolling on, minimizing everyone’s time of segment; having watching his show often, even his opening monologue was extremely short per usual probably to also make more room for every guest.

 

I think it was a missed opportunity to not perform and ( book her appearance earlier if that’s the case ) but I understand it.

Artists perform almost every day on his show. So no, that's really not the case.

Did anyone perform on this show? Sometimes they have a stand-up comedian, a magician or a singer. I wonder if they had anyone like that.

My theory as I said earlier is that she was probably supposed to be on the show next week but due to the rescheduling of the Montreal shows, she had to cancel it and asked for another day. Since she was in NYC, it could have been Thursday or Friday but there were not many other options.

Anyway, I'm not so sure it would make such a big difference whether she sings or not. At least the viewers know about the new album and it's up to them to go listen to it - which isn't that complicated nowadays.

There was a magician booked the same day.

Ok, so it's clear she wasn't supposed to be on that show then. I remember seeing The Tonight Show with Jay Leno a long time ago and he said "Sorry we ran out of time for xyz guest but we will have him on the show soon." Can you imagine being that guest and they run out of time... Even Celine wouldn't allow anyone to be bumped because of her late addition. Edited November 17, 2019 at 12:42 AM by Xpresso

[mirage]

It definitely improved, but a live performance here or there wouldn't hurt either.

Hope she will do the AMA.

true but many of these viral clips of Celine use material aired on television or posted on youtube. So television appearances aren't a moot thing, besides now a days all these talk shows upload their segments to youtube and social media.

 

And now this is an honest question but how does a video of Celine saying she loves peanut butter going viral help sell her album? Maybe it's just me but when I see a viral video of an artist I don't immediately think "oh let me go check their music". Now if it were a viral video of her performing or singing her song then that's good viral promotion, like the one of her singing karaoke to FOMO but that footage didn't even come from TC so if they are expecting online viral material to help promote her (which I don't think they are, it's just a bonus) then they'd be taking a "risk" at fans doing the work for them.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that she goes viral easily, and I think they've been doing good with all the online interviews but there hasn't really been any big promotion other than Karpool Karaoke and soon the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. It wouldn't hurt to do a few more big appearances where she also promotes her new songs in some capacity. Who knows, maybe she'll do more, we'll see.

Viral video makes her stay relevant, remembered, some people think someone is worth to check if they are still relevant in their knowledge. So the idea of this tv appearance is to put her name out there even if she didn't sing. It's like marketing, not a direct sales. Though I still don't understand why she didn't sing, but as long as she appears in the media or social media, I think it will do good for her.
