Does that mean she's going to record those serious songs that she has apparently written but had never wanted to be seen by the light of day?

What is the "Celine controversy"?

What is the "Celine controversy"?

From Country On-Demand:

It worked -- big time -- for Canadian country-pop superstar Shania Twain: her 1995 album, titled The Woman in Me, sold more than 10 million copies, grabbed a Grammy and catapulted the small-town Ontario songstress to worldwide fame.

Now, Canada's other globally celebrated female vocalist -- small-town Quebec's queen of musical melodrama, Celine Dion -- has revealed the name of her much-anticipated, first English-language studio album in three years: The Woman in Me.

She's kidding right?

Wrong.

"I think this album represents a positive evolution in my career," Dion said of her version of The Woman in Me -- to go on sale Nov. 13 across North America -- in a USA Today article this week. "I'm feeling strong, maybe a little gutsier than in the past, and just as passionate about music and life as I ever was."

Fan websites for both Twain and Dion quickly lit up with puzzled postings after word spread about the coincidental CD titles from Canada's two biggest pop-music exports of all time.

"This sucks. Why does she have to use the same title as Shania?" a Twain fan from New York seethed at shaniaforums.com. "I am furious. Tell Celine to get her own life."

One Dion devotee mused online that "knowing that it's a million-selling album from Shania Twain, I don't think they'll keep this name." Another agreed, remarking: "Sounds too weird."

So Canada, get ready for some wisecracks about a new duet by the mega-successful northern divas called The Women in Us.

As you are probably aware, Celine changed the album title.

[PerPlexied]

Thanks.

I didn't realize it was that big of a deal.

[reidster]

k. This makes it seem like the album won't be out in 2008 anymore. God. It better not be 2009. I'll be pissed. Come on Shania! BIG COMEBACK 08. pfff. I wish it was 07 like it was originally supposed to be. Arghh. She'd outsell Mariah and Celine.

Well I've heard rumors as to why the album isn't ready yet and I would say that my source is good enough that I know why, although I can't let that out.

I said all that to say that I'm sure the album will be out in 2008. I think it would have been out in 2007 if not for the reason why it was postponed.

[reidster]

hmm. I havn't heard anything. Possibly something with Mercury? I thought there was talk about her leaving? i don't know. Mehh. Oh well. So for sure 2008? k. Well that's good. Probably November again.

There was, but no that isn't it. We still haven't learned why she moved her publishing deal to Sony BMG, but I guess we never will.

Wow, she looks just as hot as she did in the COO era!

CMT Insider Interview: Shania Twain

Superstar Talks About New Fragrance, Songwriting and a Campaign Song

By: Tim Hardiman

Editor's note: See the Shania Twain interview when the new episode of CMT Insider premieres Saturday (May 26) at 2 p.m. ET/PT.

By her own volition, Shania Twain has avoided the spotlight in recent years to concentrate on the family life with her husband and 5-year-old son. However, she re-emerged earlier this month for an appearance at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas and media interviews to promote Shania Starlight, the second fragrance she has created for Stetson.

Twain's name also surfaced recently in the national media after "Rock This Country!" -- her single released in 1999 -- was listed on Hillary Clinton's Web site as a potential campaign song in the upcoming presidential election. Twain is also working on a new album, although a specific release date has not been scheduled.

CMT Insider spoke to Twain last week at Arena, a New York City nightclub.

What did you learn from creating the first fragrance?

Twain: I learned a lot about scents ... about zoning in on what I really love, what I like, because I haven't really thought about it so deeply before. I never had to decide what my favorite scents were. I basically just went into the shops, sprayed things on ... liked it or didn't like it. So I did learn a lot from the first fragrance, and I would say I even learned more with the second one because I had to dig deeper.

I already had chosen so many of my favorite things that I wanted in a fragrance, I didn't know what was left to choose for a second fragrance. So I had to think more about what I wanted to say with the second fragrance. And I think the first fragrance being so playful and fresh ... it left some space for me to get a little bit sexier and do a nighttime fragrance. And I would say it's more of a fragrance for any occasion really because I really think you can wear this any time of the day.

Glamour, I think, we find more at night. Things just shine better in the dark. (laughs) And the bottle reflects that. It's bold, but it does reflect the light. It's very sparkly. Not sparkly in the sense of sparkles, but it reflects the light.

How would you compare Starlight to your first fragrance, Shania by Stetson?

I just feel more experienced in life. Well, I am! (laughs) I'm more experienced now. And I've been digging deeper lately for my songwriting, and I feel that the sensuality of a woman is so important. We abandon that a lot for ourselves and for our men, too. We get caught up in our children. We get caught up in our careers. We get caught up in thinking too hard. We get caught up in our vanity even. And I think that's not a sexy thing to be -- distracted all the time. So I think that we can sort of get into ourselves and realize that, wow, we're pretty sexy beings and it's fun to be glamorous.

So I wanted to go into a direction of more glamour. And I think it's very romantic to think of an occasion to be glamorous. I'm not someone who is glamorous all the time. I am a very playful, down-to-earth person, but I like to get glamorous. And I think Starlight expresses that side of me.

At the ACM Awards, you said you're currently in the songwriting process for your new album and that you've been doing a lot of soul searching. Is the music coming from a more spiritual perspective this time around?

I'm always soul searching on a spiritual level. That's a permanent occupation of mine, I think, for the rest of my life. ... But I think I'm digging deeper and being more reflective ... even more as a woman. ... I almost got a little bit tired of talking about the woman's perspective for a little while, myself. And I thought that the next record was going to be just deeper as a human being. But the more I dig deeper as a human being, the stronger I feel about a woman's perspective. (laughs) That is really crazy! So I just go full circle and back to that.

I'm not a feminist. I can kind of just say that now. I was a bit confused about that for a while, but I think more than ever now ... I love the role that men play in our lives. And it just makes me feel even that more important as a woman.

Hillary Clinton has asked her supporters to choose her campaign song, and "Rock This Country!" is one of the nine choices she's posted on her official Web site. Are you comfortable with your songs being used in the political forum?

You know, I am, because I'm not the politician, and I just completely remove myself from that. I don't have anything against or for any particular person or point of view on politics. I have my own opinions, but my songs don't share them. So my songs are just my personality, and if somebody likes them enough to include them, I'm flattered by that. I don't feel it's any reflection on myself or my choices or anything like that at all. So I'm perfectly fine with it.

Country star Shania back on home turf to promote new scent

18 SEPTEMBER 2007

It was a case of combining business with pleasure this week for Ontario-born country star Shania Twain, as she made a trip back to her homeland. The much-loved musical export returned to Canada to promote her new fragrance, and also managed to squeeze in a spot of retail therapy in Toronto's posh Yorkville shopping district.

The five-time Grammy winner's new perfume, 'Shania Starlight' is her second collaboration with beauty house Coty. And finding inspiration for her new project was, she admits, a little more challenging this time around.

"For my first fragrance I had already chosen so many of my favourite things that I didn't know what to choose for my second," explains the singer, who lives in Montreux, Switzerland, with her husband and producer Mutt Lange and their seven-year-old son, Eja.

The final result she says, is "sexier and more sensual" than her first venture and more of a "night-time fragrance".

Songwriters association honors hit writers and key contributors

10 artists win triple play award for 3 top songs

By CINDY WATTS
Staff Writer

Despite the rain, an estimated 2,000 people turned out for Nashville Songwriters Association International's World's Largest No. 1 Party on Tuesday.

"It's remarkable," said Bart Herbison, executive director of the songwriters group. "I don't think I've ever seen such a huge gathering on Music Row. I saw people I hadn't seen in years."

Held under a massive white tent in the Country Music Association's parking lot, the event recognized 66 songwriters who wrote the 27 songs that topped the country charts between July 2006 and June 2007, and three industry leaders the organization determined had made special contributions to country music.

Among those presented with industry awards: Denise M. Stevens of Loeb & Loeb, who was given NSAI's President's Choice Award for her contributions in writing "The Songwriters Capital Gains Equity Act"; Donna Hilley, former president and chief executive officer of Sony/ATV Music Publishing Nashville, who received the Maggie Cavender Award of Service for her years of leadership and hard work in the publishing industry; and Connie Bradley, senior vice-president of ASCAP Nashville, awarded the Stephen Foster Award for her support of songwriters and NSAI as an organization.

"I'm very flattered," Bradley said after accepting the award. "It's really different, because most of the time at ASCAP we're presenting songwriters with awards. For a songwriter to present me with an award is pretty awesome."

Triple plays recognized

During the ceremony, the CMA announced the winners of its triple play award, given to songwriters who charted three No. 1 songs in a 12-month period. Brett Beavers, Dierks Bentley, Dave Berg, Alan Jackson, Mutt Lange, Kelley Lovelace, Brad Paisley, Jeffrey Steele, Shania Twain and Rivers Rutherford all managed the feat.

Rutherford, who wrote recent No. 1 singles "Homewrecker" (May 2005), "When I Get Where I'm Going" (Feb. 2006), and "Living in Fast Forward" (March 2006) said that when he started writing professionally, "I thought, 'All I ever want is a triple play award.' Now I'm going to carry it around with me and tap (fellow hit songwriter) Bob DiPiero on the chest and say, 'How's your career go-ing,' " he joked.

The way it's going, Rutherford might have a triple play award for each hand by next year. Since the cutoff date for the 2007 award, Rutherford has racked up two additional No. 1 songs with "Ladies Love Country Boys" and "These are My People," and he also wrote the Chuck Wicks song "Stealing Cinderella," which is at No. 33 on Billboard's country charts after only five weeks at radio.

Recognizing the accomplishments of Rutherford and the other 65 honored writers, Herbison said, is important, because the number of professionals in the business is shrinking.

"We've lost two-thirds of all professional songwriters over the last 10 years, and the average songwriter makes less than $5,000 a year," he said. "I can't tell you how many families came down and took pictures when we were presenting."

And, the executive director admitted, NSAI just wanted to remind its Music Row neighbors how to have a good time.

"A lot of the fun has left Music Row because of the paring down of the business, and a few years ago we started talking about wanting to bring the fun back," he said. "People came to our party to honor the songwriters, but they also came because they knew it would be fun."

The "Tennessean"

[Ragin]

She's starting to show her age a bit, nothing wrong with that. However, in the perfume pics above where she is spraying it on, is she trying to get 80's hair to come back? Please no.

Would love to see new material by her.
