They are currently still kept in the vault (in the case of I Want You to Need Me, only the making-of has been released, but not the actual video). I don’t think it will leak, since those videos are stored on very secure servers that prevent unauthorized access, but I still wouldn’t be too confident about it even if that’s the case.

Play Me Like a Love Song, for example, was also in a similar situation and it did get leaked. However, they usually manage to block the leak as soon as they notice it happening (this is also based on what I’ve gathered about how that song leaked and how some people managed to access it).

I also wouldn’t rule out the possibility that Sony itself could leak it by mistake. I know of a case firsthand where something similar happened to a group under Warner Music due to an oversight.😶‍🌫️

LOL, how can someone leak something by mistake?

Jajaja, ¿cómo puede alguien filtrar algo por error?

Yes, even though it may seem surprising, that happened to some singer friends of a friend of mine who are signed to Warner Music. Warner accidentally leaked a discarded, meaningless video from the vault. The thing is, since it had already been leaked, Warner basically said: “Since it’s already out there, we’ll just leave it published.” Strange, but that’s what happened.

The original video for IWYTNM was cancelled because of an abuse scene, which didn't suit her image.

The same goes for the LD video ( hell scene?)

But I want to see the ABM piano version video,

 This is @ryba This is the video of the friends whose vault music video got leaked. It’s a vault video, but Warner itself accidentally leaked it.

El vídeo original de IWYTNM fue cancelado debido a una escena de abuso, que no encajaba con su imagen.

Lo mismo ocurre con el vídeo de LD (¿escena infernal?)

Pero quiero ver el vídeo de la versión para piano de ABM,

In Lying Down, according to people who took part in the video, it was due to the fact that there are dancers who appear nude, but they say it’s a wonderful video. It’s a shame we can’t see it.

Well, they could have just leave out the nude scenes and replace them with Celine scenes. Or shoot the scenes with the dancers again, put put some clothes on them

I read years ago that the unreleased video of I Want You To Need Me contains a scene about violence thus preventing it from being released. 

[Nmj]

Eyes on Me also had a video shot..  scrapped bc it contained a bull fighting scene apparently. They scared of animal rights groups.

[Squall]

I'm really curious about the "violence" in the IWYTNM music video. It's a love song. Why would there be violence? I'd love to know the context.

So my question in all this, if these videos aren't released because they don't match her image, then why do they include things that aren't to her image in them.  Aren't they going over the concept before wasting all that money for a sealed video in a vault.

Then you remember it’s TeamCeline you’re talking about don’t you? 😛

Thats what I was wondering, I mean you go through meetings and all about the video and eventually you see the end result and think nahhh that's not her image?! 

Talking about unreleased videos, the one for L'amour Existe Encore with the yellow car. That one was so weird and it was only showed in the Vegas boutique back in the day. I think not so long ago someone here posted the video.

Right... didn't factor that one in.  I just went with common sense. Lol

As far as I know it was an abuse scene (you can see the video in my post above).

The victim blames herself (victim role) and tries to solve the problem with love.

It is a bit bizarre.  When directors are pitching for the job, unless they're a highly successful name director already, they generally provide a written (and often visual) treatment for the complete video, outlining and describing their vision for the final product, sometimes referencing other works to give a greater sense of how it will look or come across, etc.  The team works together to refine, objects to anything that would be inappropriate, etc. - if they can't reach alignment (e.g., because the director won't compromise on their "vision"), they don't award them the job.  All of this happens before production, so no one should be surprised by anything that happens by the time you get to set.

Maybe Céline and/or her team get excited to change up her image a bit but get cold feet when they see the final product.  Or maybe she just doesn't like how she looks in some cases.  Maybe a third party or higher-level label exec who hasn't been involved in the initial production sees it later and puts their foot down.  Or maybe it's a combination of all those things, or something completely different.  Who knows?!  (And why they wouldn't just go back into the edit bay to adjust the cut à la the recent MHWGO video and remove anything objectionable is a mystery.)  But it is a bit crazy that there seem to have been multiple videos that have gone to full production only to be scrapped after the fact.
