I normally find myself agreeing with you, but this time I think it’s laziness from her team. They don’t need to build anticipation because the concerts are sold out. There was no reason to even release ‘Dansons’  yet unless they had any intention to somewhat promote it.. 

The social media team has drastically reduced their footprint… haven’t posted except a Dansons release announcement since March 31. Nearly a month. 
 

And if Celine needs this much rest between appearances/work this makes me nervous on what they will do when she’s working 2 months straight this fall. 

Anticipation in relation to the next single, possible promotional appearances in autumn and the release of the album. There are several milestones lined up for 2026. And if rumors are true and the album is released in late 2026, then we are up for a super heavy second half of 2026 which, in my opinion, explains the current relaxed approach. To me some silence after announcing a major comeback tour, posters everywhere in Paris, constant media reports, and the release of a new single, makes sense.

It makes sense????????

 

 

Who releases a single, announcing a comeback and then goes completely silent for a month. NOBODY. It makes no sense whatsoever, no matter if she has SPS or not. Another wasted opportunity

Yeah this is just the first phase of a promo campaign. Build buzz for the shows, keep it going with a promo single, then lay low for a bit until releasing the first proper single, then keep building until the shows and use that to promote the album. We keep expecting her team to follow the same playbook every time but there's obviously a multi-stage plan at work here and they're executing it flawlessly.

Do you want to calm down? 

Unless you need me to state the obvious - that the single was released 11 days ago, not a month ago, so I am not sure what you are on about.

I’m sorry, I couldn’t keep my water down. 
what are they executing “flawlessly” exactly? The approach of doing nothing? If that is what you mean then carry on! 

[CelinesDIVO5]

I honestly believe that “Dansons” was released for a bit of buzz and as an accompaniment to the tour announcement. Yes, it’s a JJG song…but it’s not written to be a blockbuster.

me calm down? what did I say? 

 

It's ME who stated the OBVIOUS. Nobody releases new music just to ignore it the next day. That's only the case of Team Celine and with all the promo towards her birthday, one could expect a new approach to continue but we are just back to nothing. The single was released 11 days ago lol, and does the general public still remember it? It's only us lol and don't forget that they have been silent since March 30th, no social media post, nothing about concerts going on sale the day of the sale, no extra dates, they just posted the new song, had it on Dancing with the stars and posted about those useless billboards. They are doing nothing and it's clear they have done nothing for 11 days and they will do nothing for another 11 days, weeks.... it's just stupid

You picked something I said and turned it into a rhetorical question with three question marks. This came off as unnecessarily sharp and dismissive.

And you did not state the obvious. You exaggerated the timeframe claiming that Team Celine has been silent for a month since the single release. Because clearly this is how long it feels to YOU because of YOUR expectations. And you also exaggerate saying that the new music was ignored when there have only been few days since the release of the song that, by the way, is performing steadily on YouTube and Spotify bringing an average of 300k daily streams from these two platforms.

To answer your question, I do not know whether the general public remembers 'Dansons' and I do not care. This is not much of a criterion in the streaming era because the general public cannot even name 3 Taylor Swift songs despite her being the biggest pop star nowadays. You keep referring to criteria that are outdated. You are thinking in terms of the 'album era' where a single release was tied to specific promo windows and radio pushes. The reality is that in the 'streaming era' songs can grow over time and spike around performances. So even if Team Celine stays silent right now, the song can still receive a decent amount of streams and reach its peak in autumn when Celine is expected to visit France. This does not mean that the team is doing nothing. This means the team is not doing what YOU want them to do. Also remember PAMP that was released in July 2012 and only reached its peak in November 2012 when Celine visited France. It can be a very similar story, especially now that streaming has taken over the French market and we are therefore looking at a framework in which songs are very, very likely to resurface.

lol I wasn't sharp or dismissive 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but you are clearly attacking me. There was no point of returning to posting on this forum. And yeah yeah, keep being delusional that such an average song will have its peak in months to come. Guess you haven't learnt anything in all those years and promotion skills of Team Celine.

 

Sorry Nmj, I only survived a month but not worth it.

Ι did not attack you. You came for my post, I responded in an affirmative manner, and you are now resorting to name calling. Everyone can see this. 

And if you decide to leave, this is your choice, therefore your responsibility. Please do not frame it as mine.

The fact that probably more than 90% of the people on here can not name one Jean-Jacques Goldman song that doesn't involve Céline (without google)  speaks volumes as to why some have such a negative view of this song.

Hey hey hey… let’s all just get along and keep conversations going. This forum has been dead for the last couple of days after a high… all of us OGs need to get along and keep conversations going respectfully. @LukeD @anewdayhascome @Alex_Incognito  if not us Dreamy and the other ultra egos will take over 😂 

 

All of us are making valid points, but let’s not pretend this team is exactly smart.

It will for sure be on the album. But the next single I think will be more representative of the album as a whole, and will be the song that spearheads the promo for the album. 

[Dancing_Queen]

Céline has been dominating the news in France for a month, there's already some noticeable fatigue with the general public (those who speak French have probably noticed this online). I think it's probably wise to give people some room to breathe now. 

[ordinary fan]

I'm still not over it, that we actually can witness her returning to continue her career with live shows and recording/releasing new music. I'm so over the moon haha, so happy

For me this is so beautiful and I'm more than happy with this as it is. Sure there could always be more by her team in terms of promo and stuff. But she reaches the ones who truly care - us! The general public is reachable with live shows and she reaches both worlds.  

[KyleVan41]

I don’t know what some of you expect. She just released this song not even a month ago and what we were all concerned about ———-when she was going to return ; if she was going to (some of you)  We now know she’s coming. We know new album is coming. What do you want?  Send a post every single day of the month of what she’s eating?

luke is bang on, we’re clearly in for a robust fall of activity.

I noticed this as well, but chose not to say anything as I did not want to draw attention to negative remarks. I have been checking comments on FB and IG and there is a general sense that much of the public are fed up with Celine being everywhere in French media. I remember comments referring to the Eiffel Tower event as a circus, speaking about an appalling case of privatization. There was also a TV show where journalists asked a unionist what she thought of Celine and the woman simply said that she was not into this kind of music, and everyone in the comments agreed that this was an inappropriate question considering the context of the discussion, and that the 'Celine' topic was being pushed down their throats. Further to this, dynamic ticket pricing was raised as an issue in the French Parliament on occasion of the upcoming residency and many viewers' comments were negative, framing Celine as an insensitive sell-out. I obviously do not agree with these remarks, but this has been such an intense month, which is why I found the current approach of silence very sensible.

12 days after its release, I am still wondering if Céline knows "Dansons" has been out. 🤣

Not a F. single word about it from her.  

Given what she said about "With this tear" in the meantime, I think this is her own special way to treasure songs. Being silent about it. 🤣

It can last as long as 30 years.

She must love all of her songs.. I wish I could interview Celine just to put her on the spot to see how many songs of her own that she actually remembers that weren’t singles….

I bet she has no clue about the songs , “where is the love”, “Dreamin of you”, “reveal”, etc. 😂 

[Alex_Incognito]

I harcken the "Celine fatigue" to being the same as there was back in 1997 during Titanic or to artists like Britney Spears or Taylor Swift.  They're put on pedestals at the height of their career and people get annoyed by all the positive remarks-----She sold out 16 dates at the La Defense arena.  She doesn't need to conquer having everyone be her fan. She has enough to keep arenas filled.

 

As Britney Spears once wrote for a song "They want her to break down and be a legend of her fall"

French people who aren't fans and are tired of hearing about her all over the media.  

For those that don't watch French media, she really was EVERYWHERE for several weeks . For fans it's wonderful!

I can confirm the fatigue. Around me, at work or in my personal life, there are many different people. Most, even those who don't like pop music, agree on Céline's talent and her likeable personality. They respect her. But they find the media exploitation of her comeback excessive, used to sell newspapers, boost ratings, or generate traffic. I myself am tired of this almost daily recycling of the same snippets of information, speculation, or nonsense… The French media are getting worse and worse… There could have been a great article on Quebec's Francophone music for Ginette Reno's 80th birthday, but the so-called serious media are too snobbish for that. Quebec has its eyes turned towards France… which is navel-gazing. Between those who use Céline and those who claim to elevate themselves by despising her, I find there's little room for an informed and intelligent approach.

[CelinesDIVO5]

I find it odd that anyone is tired of hearing about her as if she’s been in the news non-stop for a year. But a month? People need to get over themselves.

Celine’s comeback is huge cultural news on its own. But France is also promoting tourism, so of course there is going to be a media blitz surrounding her in France. I think people are just looking for something to complain about, tbh.

Céline's return could be approached honestly from many perspectives, including economic and sociological ones, but primarily from a cultural standpoint. The problem is that the media landscape is currently saturated with low-grade and/or repetitive comments.

I’m longing for a long interview on public TV with a real, honest and respectful journalist asking the right and interesting questions. I’m ready to wait till september for that and I cross my fingers.
