Stronger Together, Tous Ensemble

[scielle]

It'd be refreshing to hear Celine sing LTAL.

Courage, to me, is a mediocre song.

 

I find LTAL to be very cringeworthy and Courage to be one of her best (in English, that is). To each his own!

 

Anyway -

Here's the full press release from earlier today: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/stronger-together-tous-ensemble-extends-to-90-minutes-as-new-broadcasters-join-the-largest-single-show-broadcast-event-in-canadian-history-301045181.html

 

It's now "the largest single-show broadcast event in Canadian history", with more than 120 distribution platforms participating. More details to come tomorrow.

 

Larger than a Jerry Lewis telethon???

"It was also announced today that STRONGER TOGETHER, TOUS ENSEMBLE will feature a star-studded, virtual ensemble performance of a timely and treasured classic, sung by more than two dozen of Canada's biggest international stars, homegrown favourites, and brightest newcomers. The exclusive rendition of the inspirational song, produced by Jon Levine (Céline Dion, Alessia Cara, Avril Lavigne), will be released immediately following the broadcast on streaming platforms everywhere. The initiative, led by artists Tyler Shaw and Fefe Dobson from ArtistsCAN, will see all proceeds support the Canadian Red Cross response to COVID-19 in Canada."

 

My money is on Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah...

 

Or maybe a remake of Tears Are Not Enough? It IS a David Foster / Bryan Adams-written supergroup piece, after all...

Sung by more than two dozen of Canada’s biggest international stars?! And we thought 4 were too many on one song. I hope Céline sings something on her own as well and not just 10 seconds of a song with 20+ others (like she did at ADISQ 2018). I’m pretty sure she will given the hype they make over Céline’s participation.

I wonder what's goin' on with Alanis Morissette after the sudden disappearance of her name on the One World Together at home lineup, and now she's missing this...

Yeah, I’ve been wondering the same.

[jpatdeleon09]

Courage to me sounds like a movie soundtrack from a disaster movie like Armageddon. I love it.

[scielle]

Aaaand there's now a separate Quebec event.

To be held March 10th, called Une chance qu’on s’a after the Jean-Pierre Ferland song. Participants to be announced, but surely they can't do this without Celine?

so it looks like the only 2 artists who will sing in french will be Marie-Mai and Charlotte Cardin “Originally conceived to be broadcast by Canada’s four largest English networks, the special was offered to all broadcasters, and we were delighted that several French specialty channels and V decided to air a version with French translation. With an attempt to be representative of Canada as a whole, we reached out to many artists across the country as the show came together and we’re glad that artists like Marie-Mai and Charlotte Cardin have come on board to sing in French. Our main objective is to support front-line workers, while raising funds for food banks in every province and territory.”

[weasley123]

Imagine if she suddenly sing and release ‘Play Me Like a Love Song’ in this event. 🤭

 

 

 

Oops. I wake up now.

[scielle]

There at now 80+ people one the bill on this 90-min special... do the math.

Ugh, I should stop posting on mobile. Excuse the autocorrect.

 

Point is, not much time for singing. 80+ people participating in a 90-min special (granted, without commercials). I do hope Celine gets her own song rather than just participating in the supergroup.

 

This is now to also include a tribute to the victims in Nova Scotia, to be introduced by Anne Murray (the only person to hold more Junos than Celine, by the way.)

Is Anne Murray going to sing again?? That would be incredible since she retired years ago.

 

Thrilled Céline will be participating.

The lack of Quebec representation is very noticeable.

 

I’m also surprised they didn’t ask Chantal Kreviazuk to participate. She’s a Canadian treasure.

[scielle]

Apparently they’ve been getting criticism about that; the producer addresses it at about 8:30 into this press conference.

Also, later on in the presser, they say Measha Brueggergosman is singing a bilingual song. So sounds like it’s that, Charlotte and Marie-Mai.

I'm glad she sings in english, then she can sing in french for the quebec one

[scielle]

So Bieber let it slip he's in the supergroup. Didn't spill the beans on what the song is though.

I've got my guesses but not really confident in any of them.

I think a lot of the people announced won't get their own song, because I struggle to see how they're going to fit all that content into 90 minutes. Even more people being added today (e.g. Diana Krall is the latest).

Hopefully they'll end up putting anything that didn't make the final cut online afterwards. There must be so many fun outtakes! (e.g. in the press conference yesterday, Buble showed his "MacGyvered" iPhone camera stand - taped together from a stack of textbooks. ) All these A-list musicians are doing self-service audio & video tech at home and I'm here for it!

[Angel2006]

I am guessing that the song will be O Canada

My guess is that some of the artists announced will only take part in the group song or some may collaborate together is duets. Of course some will only have speaking parts so it won't be as long as a song.

But to be fair, it all seems to be still moving around... yesterday they announced Diana Krall in the AM, and pulled her name in the PM.. kinda like what happened with Alanis for the One World show. I can't imaging producing something at this scale in mere days. Must be such pandemonium. (The exec producer said during the presser that the biggest issue is actually not people managing to record themselves, but it's getting those large, broadcast-quality files transferred.)

 

Also, I believe I posted about this before, but worth highlighting: the superband song is produced by John Levine, who co-wrote and produced Change My Mind.
