IS THIS AI????

Yes.

Everything's either AI, or heavily photoshopped or filtered nowadays. Unless we see her live in person, we won't know what she really looks like

I have to say, even as someone who called the song a “masterpiece” upon first listen, it keeps growing on me more and more!

WHY CAN'T THIS DAMN "AI-MAFIA" NOT WATERMARK IT?!!! WHY WHY WHY WHY???

I absolutely HATE THIS! This robs so much time (to find out if it's an original picture or not) and it screws people!! What's the sense to create a picture that doesn't exist? Apart from the violation of copyright! 

[anewdayhascome]

can we please not post AI stuff on the forum?

I agree with you about AI, but please stop replying to EVERY SINGLE IMAGE POST with an anti-AI screed.  You're shouting into the wind and it just clutters up threads.

I agree but personally it’s really easy to look and spot its AI.

I don’t even know how many times I’ve listened to it, lol. It has such meditative vibe to me. Every time she says “Dansons..” it feels like going deeper and deeper, lol.

This is the world we live in.  Yes it’s annoying but don’t lose your mind over it.  It’s only going to get worse in the future.

Same here! The song has amazing replay value.

 Yeah her voice hasn't been the same since 2002 imo. She sounds more tired and throaty. Then Vegas happened and her nasal sound became way more obvious. On half of EUS and Courage, she sounds horrid and the whole darn Miracle album. I love the way she uses her voice on this song and I hope she keep that up for the other tracks. I rather have a stripped back vocal album than overly edited songs like Ma Faille or Tu Sauras.  

I like her voice on Miracle, I don't get the hate for this album. I love In Some Small Way.

How about on Apple Music? Do you guys know how many streams by now?

Αpple Music is not as transparent as Spotify is in that it doesn't provide us with daily updates. 

What we know is that the official audio surpassed 400k views on YT in 24 hours, the lyric video 630k, and the Spotify debut was at 650k. This is 1.7m streams from these two platforms. The song also reached #1 in iTunes France, and #1 in Deezer which is also strong there. Some staying power and it's realistic to expect a Platinum certification soon.

It is also worth noting that the song topped iTunes in 7 more countries: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Fiji. 😎

It's now on 737K in Lyric Video

Guys this song is magical, haunting and long lasting.  We have listened to the song more than 100 times by now and it’s still fresh and captivating.  When I said you have to listen to it more than once, that’s an understatement. It’s absolutely amazing. It doesn’t push too much and it’s just her voice with minimal interruption.  Celine really is back.

I don’t know what kind of deaf unemotional corpse could not be moved by this song and video? Lol sorry not sorry.

all joking aside it’s magic .

my dad has been a long time fan and I sent him the song this am and he said wow she hasn’t lost it at all. It was PQTME that made him a fan and he said the magic is in danse.

 

i concur !!

All the photoshop gets my nosy AuDHD brain going. Like the neck mole. Has it been removed or just edited out? I have 99 major problems in my life but I need to know about the mole. 🤣

Compare this to the utter garbage of the new Madonna song 👀🙄

At least Madonna has a smarter team. Showing age doesn’t matter if you hire smart people. Not Celine’s strongest suit, other than one Rene Angelil.

Oh Madonna is ridiculous. Dresses inappropriately and is quite ghastly. Not a patch on Celine xx

[SlovakClark]

The song is lovely but feels very outdated.  Kinda surprised since Encore un Soir sound felt very edgy and that was released 10 years ago. Dansons feels to me like a b roll of S'il suffisait d'aimer.

Also funny how people think its a "lyric video" as if we ever gonna get any other music video for it 😄. 

But as a first reminder of Celine is back is cute. Just hope she'll get back to her edgy side when/if she releases the album.

Nothing like a little misogyny and being ageist. Eh?

[Peppercorn1991]

What’s outdated?!. Everything goes in circles after all.

I love Both Madonna's and Céline's new singles. Both equally impressive debuts. When you compare, at least on YouTube, you can easily think they both brought in big numbers for a legacy artist, until you forget that Céline's numbers are based on a FRENCH song which is pretty impressive. 

They are both icons for different reasons and I think you should be able to respect both of them for what they have done for pop music at the very least.

I don’t know why you feel the need to compare. The two releases/artists have completely different contexts and can exist in their own world without overlapping each other. If you don’t like, don’t listen and don’t bring such negativity into your life and others’.
