Celine a cash cow?

[KyleVan41]

 

 

I do tend to this of this quote from Celine on opening night back onstage after Rene passed away….

 

“I understood that my career was in a way his masterpiece, his song, his symphony. The idea of leaving it unfinished would have hurt him terribly. I realized that if he ever left us, I would have to continue without him, for him.”

 

Céline Dion

 

And it’s a shame that even if Celine be onstage that the rest is handled so poorly. Illness aside, the legacy is taking a hit.

 

It’s also abundantly clear that those who she left in charge of her career in these last few years don’t care. It’s blatantly obvious.

[CélineI'mAlive]

I have a different theory that probably won't sit well with most fans here. Like Celine, I'm going to use AI, but I've limited my answer to academic research:

 

"A 38-year-old meeting a 12-year-old and becoming her "mentor" while taking over major responsibilities in her life can create a strong dependency and power imbalance—something grooming tactics often aim for. If he was shaping her life/career in a way that isolated her from age-appropriate supports, encouraged secrecy, or positioned himself as the only person who "understands" or can "make her a star," that aligns with commonly described grooming dynamics (dependency, isolation, power/control). The younger the child at first contact and the more total the adult's control over career, money, housing, or daily decisions, the more the situation resembles grooming rather than a healthy mentor relationship. When someone's autonomy and agency have been restricted over time (a common effect of coercive control), the death of the controlling partner can leave the survivor without the skills, confidence, or social scaffolding needed to self-direct life."

 

Maybe, just maybe, she isn't a cash cow, but someone who is putting her life in the hands of others, because that's the only thing she was taught to do.

 

A lot of you run from that perspective, but if it barks like a dog and walks like a dog… it might just be a dog. It explains everything.

I don’t think it’s René fault for being overprotective of her. It wasn’t any kind of grooming (although, as you mention based on scientific reasoning, René could have done it without realizing it). I spend all day downloading and cataloging Céline’s videos, and in one of them, you can hear René say: “I take care of everything. I don’t want her to have stress at home” (referring to her work). I agree with TSHWL. I think she currently focuses on the present and the future, not the past. While it’s true that they’ve been taking photos of the vault for many months, I feel that Céline doesn’t care about that since it’s not related to singing. From what René said, she’s probably used to sitting back and not worrying about the administrative, legal, or communication aspects of her career.

This whole thread is parasociality to the max. The void y'all feel can't be filled by Celine, but by therapy, or maybe nothing.

The disillusionment over the pedestal you put her on is also self-inflicted. That 15 year old girl who said earnestly she wanted to become an international star who would sing all her life? Her only responsibility to the fans was to release albums, promote them, and do concerts. All the other little details (like whether or not a specific MV didn't have a dance routine or her in a leopard print thong, as you would have personally wanted) is just confetti

 

As for career management, Celine's legacy has been far better-secured than many of her former commercial peers like Shania, who rivaled or surpassed her commercially during the 90's but are barely a footnote now.

I think you’re quite mistaken in what you’re saying. I believe we should respect each person’s point of view. For example, you’re looking at it from your perspective in terms of how well her career has been managed. It may be well managed in the U.S., but in Spain, there aren’t even CDs or vinyls of her albums. It’s quite difficult to go to a record store and find her music.

Moreover, in Spain, we were only able to see her live once (in 1992). Since then, she hasn’t returned (except for the brief promotion of A New Day Has Come in 2002). People don’t even know My Heart Will Go On, and many don’t even recognize her by name or by a photo. We’re not asking for anything unusual; we just want her to adapt to what we, as listeners and consumers, expect from her—something all singers do.

It’s not about confetti; it’s about wanting her to evolve and build a new legacy according to the times. Meanwhile, she’s lagging behind, outdated, and forgotten in a drawer. Not because she’s a bad singer, but because she doesn’t give us what we’re asking for. You can’t say you don’t want to hide things and now have everything about her be a secret.

I’ve received this email from Céline’s mailing list.

[sarit_celine]

Celine not talking about anything that has to do with music in her recent message causes worry. She sure doesn't

own nothing but it's important to be honest about situation.

Though I believe that even recording out new song put her under big stress.

Sometimes I honestly think that she knows she can’t give us anything more because of her illness, but she refuses to accept it and, because of that, she doesn’t say anything like “this is as far as we’ve come,” because deep down she knows she can’t, but she enjoys her work so much that she wants to keep going.

But even if she won't be able to record new music, why to ignore all the existing great stuff she did during the years?

And you know, she can put herself on video speaking about unknown stories, put out the rare recordings and videos.

The sad thing is that she doesn't have the right people on her side. With a bit of creativity there is so much to do and enjoy about her carrer and put her again in the public eye. I can't remind when it was the last time I heard any song of her anywhere in my country. Rene would have never allow this to happen (around the world) .

I agree with you that if René were here, none of this would have happened. I share your opinion that she really should take her career in a new direction and talk about the lesser-known stories of her career, but I feel it would be very difficult for her, as I understand she wants to be on stage. I think it would be good for her career to do an A New Day again—a music residency in Las Vegas, with theater, just like they did in A New Day le spectacle… that way she wouldn’t have to push herself so much.

Record stores are practically dead everywhere except for collectors though? People stream. And who are you comparing her to? Dua Lipa? Taylor Swift? Or Rosalia? Bad Bunny? Each micro-market is different, but the argument certainly can't be that Celine has failed because a specific micro-market isn't treating her like Quebec or France does. Nor would everything be all right if she released authentic, spontaneous vlogs instead of those pre-recorded, canned Holiday ones. Everyone here has a different idea of what the bare minimum would be lol.

[CélineI'mAlive]

I study Economics at university and I have knowledge of Marketing. You are talking about things that are quite mistaken from the perspective of Marketing and Economics. It’s not really that people dedicate themselves to “transmitting”; rather, we are talking about market segmentation, typical of any niche. Let us remember that vinyl and records are still a target for record companies, and that in reality, CDs have not yet reached their point of decline in terms of the CD as a product and in the analysis of population consumption. Vinyl did reach a decline phase in its time, but currently, it is in a period of full life.

I don’t mean that Céline’s music should be treated as it is in Quebec, but obviously, there is a geographic segmentation that Sony should adhere to. I don’t think I am the only fan of Céline in Spain. Of course, we don’t know Sony Music’s internal data. In contrast, in Spain, record stores are full of albums by practically unknown artists like Paula Koops or Edurne, or by more psychographically niche artists, such as Fangoria. I’m not saying they are bad, but from my point of view as a Marketing student, I don’t understand why that music (which, by the way, I’m a big fan of) is promoted massively in Spanish record stores, whereas Céline’s, which is mainstream music, is not. On the other hand, Céline’s albums are very hard to find.

Without knowing Sony Music’s internal data precisely, I believe that in Spain, there are enough Céline fans to generate profitability (something that can be quickly estimated using a break-even calculation). Interestingly, even though Rosalía is from our country, she is not widely present in record stores. Bad Bunny isn’t even in the record stores. Today in Spain, record stores have not disappeared. There are both local and chain stores. Notably, in Madrid, there is a gigantic multi-floor store—a macro store—that is one of the largest commercial buildings in all of Madrid, entirely dedicated to CDs, DVDs, and vinyl.

You are speaking from a U.S.-centered perspective, but there are more countries beyond yours, with different cultures and different ways of listening to music… In the U.S., I bet you can find news about Céline. In Spain, her content is hidden across the Internet, and you can only access it via a VPN from the U.S. If you think that legacy is really being well managed… Back in René’s time (whom I never got to know), I’m sure this didn’t happen. This is Paula Koops

This is Edurne

This is Fangoria

¿Pero las tiendas de discos están prácticamente muertas en todas partes excepto para los coleccionistas? La gente transmite. ¿Y con quién la comparas? ¿Dua Lipa? ¿Taylor Swift? ¿O Rosalia? ¿Conejo Malo? Cada micromercado es diferente, pero el argumento ciertamente no puede ser que Céline haya fracasado porque un micromercado específico no la trate como Quebec o Francia. Tampoco todo estaría bien si publicara vlogs auténticos y espontáneos en lugar de esos pregrabados y enlatados de Holiday. Cada uno aquí tiene una idea diferente de lo mínimo imprescindible, jaja.

Dua Lipa isn’t exactly one of the most listened-to artists in Spain, and Rosalía is generally followed mostly by women and the LGBTQ+ community. Bad Bunny went out of fashion in Spain years ago.

[Your_Su_Phu]

All of those individual artists I mentioned are far more relevant and popular than Celine in Spain lmao.

 

Spain has always been one of her secondary markets in Europe, even during her heyday in the 90s. Spain has a unique music ecosystem compared to much of Europe in that it structurally favors Spanish-language artists. There are a small number of English acts that compete with Spanish speaking stars there, Taylor being one of them. Are you insisting that now at 56, post SPS, is when Celine's team should revamp their Spain approach?

That's fair. I do think if the question is whether Celine has "sold out," it's clear she did so even super early in her career with Chrysler and Diet Coke. But lately it's mainly in classy projects with some personal connection to her. She has always adored Elie Saab and regularly wears his gowns, and she has collabbed with Charlotte Tilbury before. Her landing Maybelline and Charlotte Tilbury as a 56 year old woman has other implications beyond just commercial ones (as an older woman, but also one who has always felt like an ugly duckling).

 

When Celine starts doing infomercials for detox teas I'll probably be the first to piss and moan.

 

Regardless, you're absolutely right that Celine is part of a super-rich elite and doesn't really need to be doing any of this. But one thing I have always wondered about is whether there is credence to the rumors that swirled for years about how Rene made her pay off tens in millions in gambling debts? I always wondered why she was so attached to the idea of these 400 show Vegas contracts that wore her voice ragged.

I’ll reiterate that you are completely confused. In Spain, those artists aren’t widely listened to. That’s your opinion as someone living in the U.S. What I’m talking about comes from my day-to-day experience in Spain. In fact, the artists I mentioned are so niche that, in the case of Paula Koops, all her fans have a Telegram group where we talk directly with her—no manager, no intermediaries, just people who know her from her songs—and we even discuss our thoughts on the movies we watch. Many fans are even friends with her.

On the other hand, Fangoria personally sends us a Christmas card every year and even invites their fans to private parties. There is no ageism in music to the point of saying that it’s no longer suitable for Céline to target the Spanish market. Many things could be done without her having to sing again: deluxe editions for Spain, not hiding news about Céline in the Spanish territory… very simple things.

You seem to have a problem with reading. I brought those artists up not as some pantheon of legends in Spain, but so that I could ask by what metric you were comparing Celine's career to. Regardless, Rosalia has 13 #1 hits in Spain, and Bad Bunny over 17 #1's, both far surpassing Celine who has 2. Rosalia's 13 is a record among native Spanish acts, while Bad Bunny's 17 is the record among Latin acts. So objectively speaking, they are both HUGE in Spain. Your personal experience doesn't define reality and I never asked for your Spotify top 100.

Honestly, I think you should learn to show a little more respect. You should understand that English is not my native language. Would you understand me perfectly if I spoke to you in Spanish?

First of all, I don’t know if you know this, but in Spain, some record labels inflate the numbers of song plays and streams… something I’ve seen with my own eyes. I’m not speaking from assumptions. I don’t know if you know, but this is a form of the economic phenomenon called the “herd effect.”

Secondly, these artists are not necessarily among the most listened-to. I’m not talking about the experience of someone who knows a few dozen people, but rather someone with a huge network of friends (we’re talking hundreds and hundreds) across many different fields. In Spain, Rosalía is mainly listened to by the LGBTQ+ community (which is huge in Spain) and what we call “alternative kids” (who prefer drawing or skateboarding instead of going to nightclubs…).

According to you, Rosalía might be widely listened to, as well as Conejo Malo, but I haven’t seen any Conejo Malo albums in stores yet (and I go often, practically once a week), and as for Rosalía, not even her latest album LUX is available in stores.

That'd be totally fine if they clearly stated, "Celine is retired and is going to pick her tomatoes in peace now." We'd all move on instead of checking the forum every day and be thirsty for any news.

 

Instead, we got teasers and promises, and then complete silence.

Exactly, if they really want to enjoy harvesting apples in peace, they should say they’re stepping back, not keep us waiting, wondering what’s going to happen, and not telling us anything. If you notice, it’s taking them a long time to post since the New Year’s message. Are they building anticipation? Are they going to announce something new soon? It’s 2026, and in theory, they shouldn’t have that penalty preventing them from releasing anything in 2025 anymore. Do you think this could be the start of something? We’ll know if they keep posting random photos or if Céline says something.

The lack of visibility for Celine in Spain has everything to do with whatever branch of Sony is based in Spain. That has nothing to do with Celine herself.
