Céline Dion

[brunosilva]

Finally new songs!!!!

I can't wait to listen the new songs.

^ That is fantastic!

She is the best-selling non-French artist of ALL-TIME there, and has the #1 selling album in French chart history, so I was expecting it to be pretty big, but those ratings are great!

"Mylene Farmer" has 6 Diamond albums and the other ones, except her debut and her first live effort, are multi-platinum. She was born in Québec too. She may not have the best-selling French album, but her certifications show staying power and consistency in a career spanning 28 years.

I always thought Farmer was born in France! Strange.

Translation of an article:

Celine Dion, the lucky Las Vegas chanteuse, has come to renegotiate her contract with Caesars Palace "for several years," Rene Angelil says happily. Her show started March 15, 2011, originally planned as a period of three years at a rate of 70 shows per year. But we can't let go of such a treasure that easily.

"This show in Las Vegas is the perfect balance between family life and career for Celine. I am very happy, but I will say no more about this new agreement. We will be there for several years. We have renewed long-term," said Rene Angelil, speaking to the Journal.

Celine Dion has performed to packed out houses in Las Vegas since her first show, A New Day. This show brings together 31 musicians, according to Rene Angelil, her life accomplice throughout her career. "It's the greatest show of Celine's career. It has sold out every single night, filled a room of 4,300 seats."

The star returns June 9 to the Colosseum stage at Caesars Palace after a forced rest in March, due to a virus that affected her vocal cords. She will perform until August 19. She will then return to Florida in time for Rene-Charles' new school year, on August 21.

Celine Dion must participate in the Today Show in anticipation of her return to Las Vegas.

Two albums this fall

But during this forced leave and after healing her voice, Celine has addressed her two major projects including albums due out this fall. Rene Angelil spoke enthusiastically of the work already done on these two albums.

"The French album released a month before the English one. Luc Plamondon and Jean-Pierre Ferland participated. No date is set. But it will be this fall. We first recorded the songs in French. We have three left that we will finalize this summer.

"And we also recorded seven songs in English. It's been a long time since Céline released an album. Her last album in French was six years ago, and her last album in English released fall 2007, before the tour, so it's been five years. "

According to Rene Angelil, Celine Dion has "never been in such good vocal shape."

"What I hear in the studiois fantastic. Celine's voice is like good wine," said Angelil proudly.

He recalled that the second phase with Las Vegas makes him even more happy that the bar was so high after the success of A New Day.

"The pressure was there because I did not want people to say they preferred the other show. That way, they can just say it's better or as good."

Film Premiere

"The whole family is well. The twins were 18 months and are already in great shape, like Rene-Charles. And I can tell Celine fans to hear him sing during the recordings of these albums, his voice remains unique, "says Rene Angelil.

Celine has sold 200 million albums worldwide.

CELINE HAS RENEWED LAS VEGAS CONTRACT

CELINE HAS RENEWED LAS VEGAS CONTRACT

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I want to see her on tour here in Germany so badly! I'll have to wait for even more years now.

[Wayne]

Rene is certainly hyping her up...

According to Rene Angelil, Celine Dion has "never been in such good vocal shape."

"What I hear in the studiois fantastic. Celine's voice is like good wine," said Angelil proudly.

I really want to hear something new.

[Brad]

I want to express my appreciation for The Reason and Where Does My Heart Beat Now. Such good songs.

Walked past a pub earlier and they had Think Twice blaring out. Seemed so... out of place.

[Wayne]

Yes, both The Reason and Where Does My Heart Beat Now are class songs.

Whilst I'm pleased that Rene has finally confirmed that we're getting two albums this year, I'm still miffed that she's extended Vegas [even if it was to be expected].

[Brad]

I expected her Vegas stay to be extended. I suppose they milk it as much as they can and she'll be performing up until she releases her albums. Busy.

[Aries]

If she doesn't do one-off shows, say, one night in London, one in Paris, one in New York... the album and her worldwide presence will be forgotten the week after the release.

Fans are avid for new songs, so they will learn the songs by heart in two days. After that, they won't get anything new. No remixes, no videos, no media appearances. That's the life of a Celine Dion fan. Plus, working hard and saving to fly to Las Vegas.

[Masson]

That young kid Jackie Evancho or who ever she's called will record 'My Heart Will Go On' for her new album.

[Wayne]

Back in 2009, a producer said that a song he had written would be used for Celine's next French album. Little he know how long he'd be waiting! Anyway, Celine's French album is being released in October according to Rene, and its rumoured that the lead single is Je N'ai Pas Besoin D'amour, which roughly translated means I don't need love!

Non je n’ai pas besoin d’amour
J’ai quelqu’un à tous les jours
Dans mes bras
Non je n’ai pas besoin d’amour
Je n’ai pas besoin de lunes
... J’ai des baisers qui m’allument mieux que toutes les étoiles

Non je n’ai pas besoin de fleurs
Les mots germent dans mon cœur
Je n’ai pas besoin de rêve
Non, je n’ai pas besoin d’amants
Le vent souffle énormément
La nuit se couche en chantant
Et moi je berce ma famille

Un petit petit bonheur immense
Un beau cadeau de l’existence

Non je n’ai pas besoin d’amour
J’ai des amis qui m’entourent
J’ai du bonheur plein les bras
Non je n’ai pas besoin d’amour
Je n’ai pas besoin de lunes
J’ai des baisers qui m’allument mieux que toutes les étoiles

Un petit petit bonheur immense
Un beau cadeau de l’existence

Tu n’es pas l’amour de ma vie
Tu es la vie de mon amour
Mon petit petit petit très grand bonheur

Je n’ai pas besoin de fleurs
Les mots germent dans mou cœur
Je n’ai pas besoin de rêve
Non, je n’ai pas besoin d’amants
Un seul jour sans t’embrasser
Les feuilles se mettent à tomber
Au secours au secours
J’ai besoin d’amour

Three songs left to record for the French album.

As for the English record, that's being released in November according to Rene and there's now 7 songs left to record - roughly half the length of a typical Celine album.

She does sound absolutely wonderful! I do wish she'd put LCMM to rest though!

Looking and sounding sensational in 2012 - the whole performing from the stirring standing ovation and introduction through the song performances - this is what she's been working for, for 30 years. Such a legend!
