You didn’t jinx it, Celine and the team did. You can’t not lift a finger for any kind of promotion and expect a hit. 

But it is still an anomaly. Doing 360k in one day and then barely pulling 230k in three days. I have never noticed such a weird performance. And okay I hear what you are saying, but even the high numbers came with no promo on Friday. I just don't get it.

Was it on any form a playlists maybe? And maybe now it’s been removed?

True, the point is not about whether the song becomes a hit or not, but the fact that the numbers went down rapidly on YouTube which is really weird. I actually expect the number to go down slowly like 360K then 310K then 290K and so on, but it’s actually something I didn’t expect.

If they offered a cool and spectacular music video for people to watch, then people would enjoy watching and re-playing the song. But this minimalistic bullshit leads them to this result, as well as the total silence since release. It’s all their own fault and self inflicted failure.

I have to admit I listened to the song for the first few days after it was released and then not really since then.

Maybe also release the Lying Down music video. This gen is ok since it’s a H generation a very liberated generation so it’s ok if there’s nudity lol

Céline stated several times on TV that she hated nudity in music videos and on stage back in 2013...

So I don't think she will contradict herself by releasing a music video with nudity in it ...

She's anything but a hypocrite...

And that's why I respect her so much.

[isurrender]

I just can't believe her team fu**** it up 2 times in a row. 

First, releasing "L'Hymne à l'amour" 3 months after the Olympics. 

And now, they shut down this historic mediatic avenue for her comeback ( that for sure won't be replied) by releasing a forgettable song  ( lovely but not powerful) that they don't even support. 

This is just crazy and a spit in the face of all those artists who have been struggling to survive on the current musical market  and stay out there( and I mean all her peers of the french music ).

Oh yet she knows the concept that’s why they shot it. Of course, they will say that there will be nudity before shooting. So, she agreed to do it.

In the meantime, Dansons is #4 in France i-tunes 😂

Is she the one who doesn’t want it to be released or somebody else? Because that also happened in Eyes On Me…. Imagine working hard to shoot a music video then suddenly, waste because someone thinks it will hurt Celine’s image lol I assume Celine wants it to be released.
 

It’s like someone who has the power to control to release a material and that’s not celine. Remember PMLALS

To me,whoever made the call did the right thing,Celine is not Madonna or Beyonce or Rihanna,she doesn't need that kind of attention,nor does she want it I assume...

I hate to hear this BS that Celine is not Madonna or Beyonce. You're being misogynistic. Madonna is where she is because of her artistry and her expression. Not because she showed us her butt.

They're all different and unique in their own individual way. 
Sometimes I would've loved Celine to embrace a more artistic side of her performing & recording career.

I'm not misogynistic,far from it,I love the beauty of the female body.

But most of the time,nudity has nothing to do with artistry, especially in music industry. 

If I want that kind of nudity, I go watch porn,I don't try to look for it in my favorite artist's music...

Oh,and to me,Céline's singing is artistry in its purest form and at its highest level,she can't add anything to it by dressing less.

Hearing it right now on Chante France.  I still adore it.

I don't think that's the real reason. The dancers in the 'Lying Down' music video wore Speedos and had red skin. Now that I think about it, maybe the music video wasn't released because all that red would remind people of hell or Satan. Celine was also wearing a red dress and she and the dancers were in a setting reminiscent of the planet Mars.

But they didn't release the "Encore un soir" music video either, so I don't know. It's just weird.

This actually makes sense, especially during the Courage era there were many backlashes towards her because of that Celinununu (and coinciding with the severe weight loss) and so many people came after her and called her satanic, and if the all red would remind people of Satan, that could add fuel to the fire.

Lady Gaga for example took all the chances and she s doing pretty well now. In our case, Courage era turned out to be not courageous at all.

It seems like Ycare is in Las Vegas right now and posted a slideshow of pics and it looks like he took a selfie at “studio at the Palms”… 👀

A hard era for both Celine and her fans.

Obviously, Courage was meaningful and courageous regarding Céline’s life. It makes sense to me, and I love the album. I feel sometimes fans underestimate the seriousness of her disease and the emotional pain she had to go through caring for her dying husband, then losing him, a brother and her mother in a few years. All while raising 3 sons. By the way, she’s not cured and the treatment itself looks challenging. Céline doesn’t have to take Lady Gaga as an exemple — Lady Gaga praises her. She’s been around for 45 years and the annoucement of her return has just broken records. I understand your frustration regarding your own expectations but they seem partial to me.

Yeah obviously 

dont read too much into it. I wasnt telling that Celine could follow Gaga s steps. I was stating that this kind of exposure wont hurt anyone if it s done with purpose and sense.

it was their decision to shoot this video knowing before what s going to be in it 

and the they scrapped it down. that s not very courageous at all

and Im sure she wasnt twerking naked in the video, it was more like pieces of art and some contemporary dance.

so anyway. it s in the past

I do agree it feels like a waste, even more so given Céline’s situation. But we don’t know why they scrapped it.

We’re all frustrated but let’s not undervalue everything for that reason.

Michel Drucker the famous presenter who gave her her first chance on a French TV set with a very large audience, 42 years ago, is so amazed by what Céline is doing that he recently said She's an alien. She's Terminator!  😅

Team Celine is trying to make a "Dansons Challenge" happen. They posted on IG.

Well It would be nice if the song ultimately got the same fate as “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” back in 2022 when they initiated a challenge and worked thus the song went trending everywhere and got a huge spike on streaming. But considering that “Dansons” is a newly released french song and IACBTMN is a timeless hit that many people have known or heard before the 2022 challenge, let’s see how the challenge would go.

Well, then why recording such a video in the first place?

[Geremy]

La gestion de cette futur album est vraiment très bizarre…

Enregistrement du 1 er single en septembre pour une sortie en avril 

Enregistrement du 2 eme single en mai pour une sortie en juillet 

Mais où en est le reste de l’album… et pourquoi prendre au tant de temps ….
