Unpopular opinions about Celine

[Nautanick]

What are some of your opinions about Celine that very few or nobody else share? here are some of mine

 

*A New Day Live In Las Vegas is her worst live album

 

* LTAL is the album on which I enjoy the least songs

 

* Je T'aime Encore is vastly overrated

 

* I hate the radio/LTAL version of MHWGO, like the soundtrack version and love the live versions

 

* She needs to record a new live track for TPOL

 

* Her French music is often more emotional than her English music

 

So what are some of your unpopular opinions? Post away

[Bellamy]

I think many fans share your last opinion at least.

[Krys]

i agree with some of the points that you've stated...so there is not much to say

[Mozinha]

Don't agree with much of it but it's just me LOL

[Nautanick]

Um...maybe I didn't make it clear, but whether you agree with those or not are not the point. The point of this post is I want to see what some other unpopular opinions people have about Celine - eg you think her English music is far superior to her French music, as an extreme example. That's what I'm looking.

[Ethan]

Let me see ...

 

Dion Chante Plamondon is Celine’s best album!

 

I think I'm the only one who holds this opinion. Most people here don’t like it.

i hate "I Hate You, Then I Love You"

 

"Love Is All We Need" is the worst song on OH album

 

hm...can't think of anything else...

[Terre]

What an interesting topic!

 

-OH is the worst Céline CD ever.

-I do like the album FIY but it's not one of my very favourite Céline CDs.

-Why release a new Céline fragrance after another? One fragrance is enough for

me.

-There's loads of knick knack available at the boutique at celinedion.com. which I

find absolutely ridiculous!

 

That's all I can think of at the moment.

[Krys]

yeah i agree with the ridiculous knick knacks in The Boutique

 

- Celine's worst haircut in 2003 (imo too short and too blond)

[Koolan]

Interesting topic

 

- Unison is the least listened to album

 

- she sounds better on the CD than live? ...just kidding

 

- Garou and Celine should be couples.

 

- releases too many parfumes

[Céline's Blues]

Guys I think some of your "unpopular" opinions you listed are very well popular among her fans... haha

 

Anyway:

 

- Garou likes her very very VERY much. Rene should retire and let Garou take his place in Céline's bed.

 

- Céline rarely sings with emotions in English, she sometimes fakes it SO BADLY

 

- Her voice on "Celine Dion" is at times extremely nasal

 

- Her Vegas gig was a very wise move (personally)

 

- She should give up singing in English

 

- She looked very good with short dark blond hair and the wigs she had in early 2003

 

- She needs more songs like "L'abondon" that talk about sex in sucha direct yet colorful way

 

- Falling Into You is way overrated and Let's Talk About Love is just plain cheap

 

- OH is a Chrysler album and Miracle only a calendar/coffee book album, 2002 was the last time Céline released an English album

 

- Céline should not care about Reney and release that goddam rock record at last followed by a jazz tour with her own BAND

 

- she sounds now better LIVE than in 1996

 

- I love her commitment to RC, even if it means he'll be gay when he's 18

[VanMerlin]

- I don't think she's beautiful, or model material, or has any fashion sense.

 

- I don't think her voice is what it was, nor do I think it is better.

 

- I don't believe she's a vocal superwoman...sometimes she's so nasal and throaty that you'd wonder how she is considered the greatest singer. I mean, you think she'd have taken care of those problems LONG ago. But when she on...she can REALLY sing. I just sometimes wonder how someone of her vocal wizardry can fall into those pits of nasality and throatiness. And where it was once mainly a live thing, now it's creeping into the studio.

 

- I don't think she could sing every style. Her voice has limits.

 

- Her extravagant physical gestures are great for the stage, but sometimes she's irritating to watch during an interview. I don't think she's cute.

 

- I think her baby obsession is a great thing. Let her talk about babies, make baby albums, and now baby dolls...we need people on this earth who inspire the love for children.

 

- Your Light is the worst song ever!!!

 

 

Now if that doesn't anger a few people! Trust me, I love most of her music and her stage presence...but you asked!

[Yentl Anchel]

Well shall I tell you a secret......... Dion Chante Plamondon was my VERY first album I bought and I can tell you this album made me a fan so.... I LOVE this album

 

Dion Chante Plamondon is Celine’s best album!

 

I think I'm the only one who holds this opinion. Most people here don’t like it.

- Your Light is the worst song ever!!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I find Your Light very irritating. I always skip it on FIY.

I don't mean to sound rude...but, WHY must you post a topic that is saying bad things about Celine. She is a wonderful person, and that's why we're all here. At least me...so why not talk about the good things....and not the bad?

 

My opinion only.....do what you wish....I just choose not to talk about stupid petty things like that.

i guess Nautanick just wanted to know some other fans' opinions...i guess it doesnt hurt to know these things.

 

well i must admit...Celine does have her pros and cons

Right, I agree with that. She does, just like everyone else. But, I mean why talk about it? I don't see the point!

[AdamTokyo]

I like all her albums but I especially love her French albums. French is her roots so naturally she delivers better emotions than in English. I think "A New Day... Live In Las Vegas" is the worst album ever produced. She sounds very bad with her live songs in that album but I think her studio recordings are great. Did anyone notice that she pronounced so badly when she sang in e.g. "Because You Loved Me"? I mean, she sounds so nasal. This 'phenomenon' also happened when she sang it in "A New Day Has Come Concert" at The Kodak Theater in 2002(?). Even for her French song "Et je t'aime encore" in "ANDLILV", she sang it so awkwardly with her strange unnatural French pronunciation. Celine really needs to sing as if she's in her studio when she performs on stage, where she'll try to make each syllable as clear and as perfect as she can during studio recording. I think she's kinda lack of her 'professionalism' spirit that she used to have before, especially after her two-year hiatus. What do you guys think? Anyway, please don't whack me with anger for my subjective opinion here. My love and support for Celine will never change no matter what happens.

maybe cuz there is sooo many topics talking about how nice Celine is or how talented she is, so why not have a topic about Celine's downside? you know a change of topic

[Krys]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

i did notice this...and i actually wondered..."is this Celine singing? is it really her?" cuz it really sounds very nasal. i have to agree that EJTE was awkward. maybe Celine doesnt sing as she did years before cuz of the age problem? well i dunno...its pretty hard singing and dancing and running about on a large stage without screwing up a little bit . well this is my opinion, any others?

 

P.S. we all love Celine, dontcha?

[AdamTokyo]

... but, singing BYLM and EJTAE doesn't need any running or agressive movement right? I don't see any difficulties for Celine to sing it perfectly as she does in studio.

[corr_azy]

Definitely. A New Day Live is her worst live album. I think she sings better in french than English, she does have a little problem with her pronunciation when she sings some English words. I think Superlove and Refuse To Dance are her worst songs ever.

 

BTW, u mean there are different versions of MHWGO? I never knew!

[Krys]

what two versions?

[Yangedd]

Yes, there are two versions of the song. The one from her album and then the Titanic Soundtrack version. There are only a few differences in them, like the music, the high note at the end, and then ending of the song.

[firebird]

Interesting topic :

 

- She looks great with short hair, especially around 1993-95 when she promoted TCOML and D'Eux, and it looks horrible when it is extremely long and straight like ATW or recently on TV

- Her early albums from the 80ies are better than anything she has released since ANDHC

- She talks too little about her music and too much about her private life

- The best live performance she gave since she has been in Vegas happened outside of Vegas, like in Quebec (Simplement Marnay, Ecole des Fans) or France (Star Academy, 500 Choristes) or even in the US (Grammy - Dance With My Father)

- Miracle is NOT a lullaby album

- She and the record company only care about the USA and France, but the world is a little bit bigger than that.

- She should refuse to go to TV shows where the singers only do playback and do more live TV shows like Taratata

- Celine Dion and The Colour Of My Love are much better English albums than FIY or LTAL even if they sold less

- Her French career didn't start with Goldman, there are also Marnay and Plamondon who wrote excellent music for her

- Veneruso should retire and leave Céline alone. It would be better for him and for her

- The new songs on ONCP are crap

- I love the duet with Pavarotti. I know everyone else hates it, but I think it is great

- She and Barbra still owe us a live version of Tell Him together

- They should release more singles and not only those stupid "radio singles"

- I like OH better than A New Day Live, Unison or Miracle

- 1F4T is her worst French album (since Incognito)

[Célinefull]

Let me see ...

 

Dion Chante Plamondon is Celine’s best album!

 

I think I'm the only one who holds this opinion. Most people here don’t like it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Yes! So true! Just because it's not so balladish all the time.

 

-I hate the fact that Celine and most other people totally forget about Unison, the song and the album, they were good!

[rogerionovais]

yes, I kinda agree with you when you say that celine's voice is getting quite nasal these days... for example in the album Live in Las Vegas (like you said AdamTokyo) the song Because you loved me... hum, I think that celine should keep on recording in english, I don't see any problem with that; she can express herself anyway (but yes, her french songs have something special...) she sounds always good. some performances were not SPECTACULAR if you know what I mean. But, she is Celine , so she is always great.

 

[beautyroses]

i never loved it's all coming back to me now live versions.

i think i surrender should be a single

i don't like the cline's way of clothing many times

i think if she wants to do a thing she should do it not afraid of, it like being hot and sexy and also singing in new styles

i hate let's talk about love album except some songs,there are not many high notes

i don't like her makeing so much fun in some interviews,i think too it turns to show her stupid

i do agree garou and celine should be couples and rene should retire and let garou be in celine bed

i love her to sing a rock songs

i hate one heart album

i think performing 5 nights a week in a new day show is the craziest thing celine ever do,and it make her do playbacks and make her voice so tired

i think her old english albums are better than newer ones

- I don't like saying bad things about Celine

 

Does that count ?

[Lawna]

I think I like this topic...

 

. I think if Celine were to voice her political opinion, I may not like what I hear...

 

. Now that I am hearing a lot about playback, I'm starting to think she does it a lot...

 

. I think she somewhat over exaggerates when she sings...well when she lip-syncs...

 

. Her fashion can be horrifying at times.

 

. I'm waiting for an English hit song where I can say "That's my Celine!"

 

. BUT regardless of these petty things, I still love Celine, she is all over my wall, my mind, and my heart...
