New English Album?

[Lina]

Her OLD FABULOUS voice sounded effortless. She doesn't sound like that anymore. I can't count the number of times her vowels and notes sound forced and difficult even on the Miracle album, and that is full of soft lullabies. She often sings from the wrong part of her throat these days, making vowels sound weak and strained, her pronunciations of vowels are awkward, and her new favourite technique seems to be the throatiness she gets when she can't do the note openly, which is not pleasant.

 

She needs to take some time to re-train her voice, find her old tone, and get her OLD FABULOUS voice back, even just a little. Right now, it's a NEW, NOT SO ONE_OF_A_KIND voice like it was.

 

Wll I must agree a bit. Maybe her technic is not so perfect that it was, but she said in her interview:

 

"Maybe I don´t sing as technically good today, but I surely sing a lot better."

 

I think she meant that she knows now what she sings about, she´s in balance with herself and singing fun for her. She doesn´t have to prove that she can sing anymore. Everybody knows it. That´s what I agree with. I love her voice the way it is right now. She´s the best singer on the whole planet

Don't get me wrong, even still she can sing. But...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I agree with you.

Celine is one of the best singers in the world, BUT her latest albums don't show that... They are good... and good is not enought to a Celine cd...

 

I want something brilliant, like all the songs and albuns she released from 1995 to 2002.

She can do it and I believe she will do it.

[Yangedd]

And Italian song would be great.

[NatalijaV]

I do understand that we all would like to hear Celine with the same voice and songs as in 1995-2000... especially those (we) who has no opportunity to visit the show ... but we also have admit that she has a good substitute of that. The show takes the 3rd place amoung best shows in the World... and that is not so bad. Might be when Celine stops singing and performing 5 shows a week, she will gift us with the almost power of her voice and feelings.

Yet again the topic issue comes back like boomerang. We are all entitled to our opinions but I just find it funny that none of you critically attuned ones seems to think about the simple fact that her "old fabulous voice" has always been nasal. Always, always, always. Just listen to "With This Tear", her goaty growns on "If You Could See Me Now" or some passages in "The Power Of Love". What Céline did and what you all are refferring to is her D'eux/Falling Into You voice where she did her best to erase her natural nasality with a great strain put onto her voice. And the best thing is you must not be a vocal expert to be able to hear the difference in how she interpreted "It's All Coming Back To Me" and how she handled "I Surrender". Two fully different vocal approaches. And you also don't have to be a vocal expert to say that keeping this kind of immense strain on your voice would damage it permanetly - and YES it did damage her voice as you definitely hear a deterioration between 1994 and 1999, not to mention now.

 

Céline has now a tough battle to fight IF she wanted to get rid of the fervent nasality which creeps upon her all the time now. Yet firstly I don't believe she feels like fighting against it as she has much better things to do with her life and secondly she would lose the battle either way cuzz she is human and not 24 anymore - her voice would become silent at once as soon as she would start to treat it the same way she did during the early 90's. Of course you may say Areatha, you may say Billie Holiday, you may say Ella Fritzgerald, but Céline ain't them, every voice is really one of a kind so is Céline's and hers is fragile, at all events. Too much is too much, even Céline knows it (surely it's the reason they hold off on recording another Britney Spears' tribute CD).

... (surely it's the reason they hold off on recording another Britney Spears' tribute CD).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Why would that be the reason? Britney isn't really a top candidat to break off Céline in an All By Myself-battle. If Céline wants to use her voice without straining it Britney music would be ideal...

 

But come on people, asking Céline to sound like she did in '96 is to ask us all to be as young as we were in '96. Let it go, the past is the past. Want to relive it? Listen to FIY.

 

I do understand she sounded nasal before too... but then perhaps nasal is the wrong word to describe the turn it has taken since AND... It easily goes very loud and quickly looses emotions...

 

I have NOTHING against when she sings low and raspy, in fact I PREFER raspy instead of the clarity in her voice as she had in '96. I know this is odd, since Céline Dion is capable of more than being raspy, but I think she sounds extremely good when she does that, and she does that too rarely.

 

You all say that now her voice is this and now her voice is that and always compare it to something it can never be and I understand that is a disapointment, but then perhaps you will always be disapointer. She sounds great at the moment as long as she keeps away that "super nasal way". For example look at the studio version of Dance With My Father. She sounds so good there (especially in my opinion of "..my father would lift me high.." hehe). But then the production and muscial arrengements here is not in my taste, but that's a differnt thing - Céline sounds perfect.

Please, do not go 'off topic'. Let's discuss only about the next english album here. Thank you so much.

[VanMerlin]

I agree with you siur. I don't think any of us are holding out for a new English album sung like it was done in '96 and we all know her voice will never get there. BUT, if she releases a new English album with her voice sounding as throaty and closed as it has been lately, I don't think I'll be listening to it. That kind of thing made TLS unlistenable and the English version is even worse.

 

Yeah, she's always been nasal, we all know and accept that. And she's always had her throaty moments, we know and accept that too. But that stuff is now creeping into the studio at an irritating degree, and I hope that a new English album doesn't showcase those things once again. I hope they take greater care.

 

And I think this 'off-topic' goes right along with what we want/expect from a new English album. It goes together.

[kdw123]

I am so ready for a new English Album. I agree that Celine's voice has changed, but I wouldn't say that it a bad thing. I think she is still the best singer in the world. And yes I think most of the songs (not all) on the Miracle Album sounded nasaly and many of the Live songs on ANDLILV. But the new songs that she has recorded lately sound great to me (not nasaly) including I Believe in You, Dance with My Father, and Let Your Heart Decide.

 

As for Miracle, I think as Celine and David both have said that it was rushed and they didn't spend a lot of time on it. I think they should have realized that fans would buy the CD and I think they should have taken the time to work on it more.

 

As for the mystery new English Album, I hope they are slowly working on it and taking time to record hit songs. Maybe the leak of Let Your Heart Decide is a sneak peak at what we can expect on the new English Album.

 

Hopefully we will hear some official news soon!!!

[anewdayhascome]

waiting and waiting...

[sayyed]

hum... i'd be happy with or even without a new english CD. I think, the very few new songs in the last years are nowadays in my TOPLIST! songs like Ain't gonna look the other way, Dance with my father, IBIY, Tous les secrets/LYHD, In some small way... they're so great! luv them all. an album with songs of these different types and she'll have success with it.

 

but on the other hand; do we really need a new album? yes, it would be cool to have, but IMO the longer we wait the more we would esteem (< right word?) it.

 

i'll be patient and grant...

[Moleque20]

What is IMO?

IMO=In My Opinion.

[Yangedd]

I'm hoping there is a new Album on the way. But I'm not really dying to see one and won't be disappointed if there isn't one coming. It'll be great if there is, but I won't mind if nothing comes till next year.

[OnlyCeline]

The New Album Must Contains With Different Kind Of Music!!! Well, I Can Wait Again....

Oh I DO MIND !!! I can't wait any longer, I need new album sooo baaaad. Aaaarghhh why am I so impatient ? Hmm, maybe cause Celine had spoiled us and I need my regular dose of new songs every year

[stevo]

I really only want an album when Celine has time to promote it so it'll do better (yes she does well, but I mean Celine saturation)- if we get a great album where there are so many potential hits on it and they just let it sit there and release wrong songs with no promotion whatsoever and it just goes unnoticed on random AC charts...that'll drive us crazy and it'll just undermine what Celine is about- being THE best. I want her to be noticed in the Uk again and these albums like OH & Miracle that don't really get pushed just vanish and everyone still thinks she's retired or dead or summit. But that's a whole other topic.

And what if she doesn't care? What if she just wishes to record an album for her fans, it'll sell 1 million worldwide which is still huge after all. She already said she's up for a small European tournee after Vegas.

 

She's not the same Céline anymore. The faster the fans accept it the faster they will enjoy her new music. And by "new" I mean "the best is yet to come" from "For Keeps".

[Lina]

I agree with you siur so well said!!

[mirage]

i want her on every cover of all the BIG magazines in the world again....... harpers... elle... *dreaming*

 

Just was on a site of madonna... she everywhere again.... nice big photoshoots etc etc... and yes im a little bit jealous....

[Bellamy]

Celine don't care about fuss like Madonna. Celine never make fuss herself.

[tativale]

There will be an english album? I heard people saying it would come out in march.. lol but it's now out of the question heheh already Feb. 12th and nothing. I don't know form where people say those dates lol but anyway..... maybe that english album won't be released soon, maybe next year....

I would say more than that, Fred. She's only 38 now. The best is yet to come. May it be in 2010 after her break. But it will come. Céline's artistry will show because it can't be imprisoned within her forever.

yeah, look at Annie Lennox: there are not that many albums out there, that are simply perfect; but she has released one with 48! 'Bare'. it's THE album, and IMO celine can do soething like that too. in another way, yes, but someday she will!

[anewdayhascome]

she will do sth perfect after Vegas but i don't want to wait 2 years...

me too...I believe that she has hidden cards in her pockets for the future and I'll try to be patient!!!!!!I want the time to go by gently ...but I want that album to be GREAT!!!!!!!

[Céline's Blues]

Anyone else believes she will record a studio version of "Fever" for her next studio album? I crave for it truly.
