Response to Comments from Daniel Merriweather Daniel Merriweather’s comments originated from Celines one appearance on Katie Couric a few months ago when she played a portion of Water And A Flame during an in-studio interview. Before playing the song, Katie asks Celine about her new favorite artist, Adele, and Celine tells Katie how much she loves Adele. Celine continues by talking about Water And A Flame....about how much she loves it....and how its a bit different from what shes used to singing. She doesnt mention anything about who wrote the song. Despite the headlines that have emerged from Daniels publicity, Celine certainly doesnt claim in any way whatsoever that she wrote the song. While we can understand Daniels disappointment by not having his name mentioned during Katie Couric’s interview, its rather unfair to Celine to be on the receiving end of the many disparaging comments that have now become public. Throughout Celine’s 32 year career she has always been very vocal about sharing the credit for her successes. She has been very vocal about the fact that she does not write her own songs...and that she is fortunate to have wonderful and talented writers to provide these gifts to her. For her to be accused of stealing a song is not only grossly inaccurate, but also very hurtful. During the thousands of interviews that shes given over the years, its often that she will not mention the names of the writers involved. Its something that may not come up a lot in the interviews. That said, when a Celine Dion album is released, we always include complete and accurate writer credits in an updated bio, and of course, inside the CD packaging. Celines new English album will be released worldwide this Fall. We are very excited about this new album, and we hope to have great success with it....and great success for all those who have contributed. She loves Daniel Merriweather and Eg White’s song so much, and would never want to do any harm to them....nor take away anything from them....in fact, the opposite would be true. We hope this clears up any misconceptions regarding Celines intentions. Celine Dion’s Management
