Celine Dion's 2 songs Going for Adds

[Arson]

What on earth... she has two songs going for adds this week, neither from her own album:

Celine Dion "Dance With My Father"
Il Divo & Celine Dion "I Believe In You (Je Crois En Toi)"

How do you think these will do?  "In Some Small Way", "Beautiful Boy", "Miracle", "You & I" and "Stand By Your Side" all had disappointing chart runs (at least compared with her usual AC chart performance).  I suppose part of that could be due to the overplay of "Have You Ever Been In Love".  Most of the singles from "A New Day Has Come" faltered too, when the lead single was played so frequently.

I'm not sure how piecemeal songs like this will do.  It seems a little too soon after the original "Dance with My Father" to release another rendition.  The Il Divo song is a little different, so that one's a wildcard.

A little too soon? That's an understatement if I've ever heard one. The original was rebounding back into the Top Five around this time two years ago. Plus, it was grossly overplayed, and I still think it does get a lot of recurrent airplay. Of course, this song isn't going to do well.

I haven't heard the other song, so I have no idea how it'll do. "Different" songs are sort of touch and go; they either become monster hits or fail miserably.

It's a lot tougher at AC these days for Celine -- in recent auditorium tests her songs (including her biggest hits) have tested towards the bottom of all AC songs due mainly to oversaturation -- so two songs at once is an interesting choice.

However, a hit can change everything...so we will just have to wait and see...

I Believe in You will either be a #1 AC hit and possibly re-introduce Celine to the format (paving way for a new album) or it'll miss the top 15 entirely.

As for DWMF, I've been hearing his song for awhile (it's already peaked at #4 on my chart) and although it sounds like a song that would do well on the format, it will probably be overshadowed by Luther's version which is still considered recurrent by many stations.

Well it's looks like both songs will do noting on the chart.

Maybe this will let AC radio let Celine go so that when
has a new CD out, AC will treat it's singles like that treated "ANDHC" with 19 weeks at #1!

IBIY is currently #31 on the Billboard AC chart.

She's on The View right now lip-syncing to "My Heart Will Go On", and she's doing it really really badly.

She needs to stop performing that song.

Why is she lip-syncing? She seems to be one of the more consistent singers in live performances.

"I Believe in You" only had 54 spins this week on the Mediabase AC/HAC combined chart , while "Dance with My Father" had 8 spins. That's pretty sad for songs that officially went for adds.

Yeah it is sad that she had to lip-synch. I turned it on and you could play the album version along with the TV and she was lip-synching. The microphone wasn't even near her mouth at some parts. It as truly pathetic.

But maybe its because she has 3 shows a day and they want her to save her voice for the shows.

I heard DWMF and my god, Luther must be turning in his grave.

Yay !!! Go Celine on taime, tout le Quebec te support !!!

I saw the interview and wondered why she didn't mention any of her current or upcoming projects. I was also disappointed when she lipped MHWGO.
