She sings from her soul to ours, in all her songs, still today at 53yo she is the all time best female vocaliste of this century her voice still mesmerising and she is so gorgeous. Listening to Lara and you are screwed for now and forever..Shes got you..helpless and spellbound..Amazing woman!!
If you watched the end of this clip, you can see that Lara was really into her music, it really took her 2 minutes to come back. In my opinion, Lara and Floor Jansen, who you know well, are the greatest singers in terms of conveying emotions and knowing what they sing. They are true proformers in heart and soul.🎶🎶🤟🏻🤟🏻
“Je suis Malade”, now a french classic, was written by famous French singer & songwriter Serge Lama together with composer/singer Alice Dona in 1973. This is based on his own experience and he was the original performer, hence some lyrics are a bit male-oriented (eg my mother leaves me, whiskies, I pour my blood in your body, …). When Serge Lama had a dinner with Alice Dona and told her about his obsessive love that was leading to a road block, she came back home and composed the music in a couple of hours. The morning after, she presented him the music and he wrote the lyrics in … 20 minutes. Serge Lama was the original performer in 1973, it started to be promoted on the radio, and the song was brought to fame only when, a few months after, Dalida covered it. She was an absolute mega star in France, another emotional powerhouse, and this song resonated very much with her own feelings. Her success with this song transformed it into a french classic, and started to make it famous abroad. But it is Lara Fabian that really made this song a very popular song in many countries with her cover in the mid 90s. At that time Dalida had already passed away, but Serge Lama was (and is) still alive. Dalida and Serge were two inspirations for Lara, so she sent an audio copy to Serge of her version. She was unknown at that time in France but he was so impressed with her vocal skills and her emotions rendering that he invited her in France to sing it as a duet during his own Paris concert in January 1995. It was a triumph. So he sat in a front row seat and asked her to sing it again alone. Lara also had made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power. Serge and Lara became good friends and performed several other duets later on. The 1999 version ("From Lara with Love" Concert in Montreal) ruclips.net/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/видео.html is legendary internationally and has attracted many artists to do a cover, even from non french-speaking countries. The most recent ones I am aware of are from italian singer Giulia Falcone, from the korean singer Choi Sung Hoon or from the korean band Forestella. Lara is used to perform the song very differently in each of her tour and for instance the En Toute Intimité, 2003, Paris Olympia version is even more dramatic ruclips.net/video/SyILdRAOS88/видео.html
More information on Lara Fabian: Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, .... In my personal opinion, she is even the best. There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register. So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence: • she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer. • she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none • she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens. A quick background on her and her career: She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages. She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory. She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today. She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She had been living for years in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship. She just moved back to Italy a few months ago (temporarily?). She became very famous in Quebec and then conquered France in 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music). In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US. This concert is legendary, packed with masterpieces (covered by many great vocalists later on). But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan. She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance. She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then. Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), … With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there. Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her. She is Dimash's idol: I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep. He covered many of her songs, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara. Out of my mind I can list: ○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version) ○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know") She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love". And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva). Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida. Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara. Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it. Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration: ○ Floor Jansen (Adagio), ○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime), ○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie), ○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow), ○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace), ○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Dmitri Hvorostovsky (Adagio), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Gigi de Lana (Broken Vow) ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know), ○ Il Divo (Adagio) ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow) ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Vitas (Adagio), ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Jeck (Je T’Aime), ○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio), ○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio) ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ Sevara Nazarkhan (Je t’aime) ○ .... NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version. Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature. In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular. On April and May 2023 she had again a wonderful concerts in Tbilissi, Georgia, and in Ouzbekhistan and Kazakhstan. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
Not only am I not going to read allat lil'bro but I'm also reporting you for spamming and cringe. Imagine being so low in life that you go and copy paste novels in RUclips comments like a teenage fan girl. So pathetic 😮
Thy for your execution, m8. It was very interesting to read all these whole information. One thing I want to say from my opinion. Yes, there exist a lot of brilliant singers(you count a few), but her skill and performance of this song reached to the highest level I’ve ever heard and seen. Because she didn’t sang this song only, she lived it. I heard and saw never a presentation of a song, which transported such much emotion like this. When I heard this video the first time, I saw it without English subtitles. I don’t speak French, but I cried.
@@wtsalive8210 she often gets in trances interpreting a song and as you say she lives the song. Her vocal mastery allows her to forget about showcasing and focuse on the emotions, the words and the story. Check the second link I provided in my comment: in this other rendition, she is even more immersed in the song.
for those who wish to there is an english subtitled version of this performance available as well... as you watch you can see she's literally being transported into the song & is living every word she sings.... You stopped too soon...At the end when the audience is cheering you actually see her re-enter her body & come back being slightly shocked realizing oh right I'm not alone here there's a moment in the song where the lyrics speak of her pouring her blood into her lover & she symbolically slits her own throat with her thumb..so powerful
I believe that regardless of musical background and preferences (I am, more than anything else, a metal head), it is IMPOSSIBLE to not be blown away by this performance. I discovered it by accident some years ago and I often listen to it just to appreciate the craftmanship one more time.
This performance is once in a life time. Lara Fabian is amazing. Bad luck you did`n se the very end the minute after the song ended. Its hart breaking and i just want to hug her. Thank you for reacting to this wonderful artist. My Nr One. Any song "From Lara with love" 1999.. is a masterclass in singing.
Lara has been a vocal coach (for The Voice and Star Academy, in Quebec and France). One contestant asked her how to sing deep emotions without impacting the voice. She replied: « sing the emotions in your head, feel the emotions in your heart, but keep your throat free ». I think this is a perfect illustration of your insightful comments on vocal skills and emotions coupling/decoupling. She worked and continues to work so hard on a daily basis to totally master her voice, body support and breath that now she is free. Free to surrender and focus on the emotions and the meaning of the words, on telling the story. She is the best at this. You just started to cratch the surface, you will love exploring this rabbit hole. You will find all of us here. 😂 I will post a recommended playlist and some details on her bzckground and career.
Super reaction Further to Eric's great info, her coaching of this song was super interesting, too. An excellent 24 mins! Gets under the bonnet of the song! ruclips.net/video/24yHJOs8YDk/видео.htmlsi=rjKtd6WnQNM5Lt5L
Elvann, Elvann, Elvann!!!...I have been waiting for your reaction to this masterpiece of The Goddess Lara Fabian for a long time!!...Lol!!!...It's difficult to find someone who express exactly what we watch every time we look one Lara’s performance like this...She is the ultimate Mastercraft of singing!!...Now you have to think that she speaks 5 languages and sings in more than 15 languages and with the same perfection and her incredible emotional skills...That's why she is the idol of incredible singers like Dimash, the best singer of the entire world, and so many more...Thank you for finally react to Je Suis Malade...Next from Lara?...Broken Vow in english from the same concert "From Lara with Love" 1999.
Wow! "...craftmanship at it's finest. No one has ever said that about our dear Lara. Oh, you've said and painted such a beautiful picture of Lara and truly has earned it and deserves all of this kind of credit. I totally agree too that her music she brings to the table the complete connection between technique and expression. Again, like in "Adagio", but even more so with this song, Lara's facial expression both before and at the end of the song is that she's utterly and wholesome engrossed and one with the story. She sheer emotion displayed vocally and physically throughout the song cannot be mistaken for anything less than real. You, Elvann, in the way you shared that bit about yourself and the way you expressed yourself in this entire reaction has brought me to tears. Tears shed also because of your pure honesty about yourself too. I appreciate you and especially what you did here. I wish we'll for your future. Blessings ❤
Thank you for your insightful and honest reaction. There is probably not a song I've listened to more than this one by her and it continues to move me every time. I totally agree, for all the reasons you mentioned, I think she is the finest female vocalist alive today.
Great reaction to such an incredible performance! My favourite female singer without a doubt. She is so amazing and sings with so much emotion and passion! I recommend the following songs to react to. You're not from here, Broken Vow, Caruso and Perdere l'amore. They are all amazing! Greetings from London 😀
I loved your insight into her performance. I do not have enough musical knowledge to recognize the synergy between her technique and emotion but I felt it and you explained it. Thank you, I've been stuck on this performance for some time because I believe that this synergy also applies to so much in life and I get it now. Lots of love!
I agree with all what you said and also think this performance is one of the best of the century ! She strickes my heart all the Time... and as you Saïd she is using her vocal skills so well that we don't focus on it but we just feel the raw emotion she is transmitting. And that's beautiful ✨
@@ElvannReacts You did put your reaction not only in most adequate words, you conveyed Lara's wonderful ability to combine vocal splendor, "technical" perfection and emotional story-telling yourself. Thanks and bravo to this reaction 👏🎶👏👍
@@ElvannReactsHi, beautiful young woman! Do you remember Diana Ankudinova? You have only responded to 2 of Diana's songs! And Diana has dozens of them! And there are more impressive ones! She is 20 yo today and She has greatly improved her vocal skills! Please react to I CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE! ruclips.net/video/M-znD6QKbrg/видео.htmlsi=ZUQyexR8Wag9qqcY
as a favor to yourself react to her performance from her " Pure " concert in Montreal singing a cover of two Barbra Streisand songs from the movie " Yentle " ----- even Streisand herself never performed these two songs ( Papa can you hear me , a piece of sky ) live and together...........it is a masterclass of artistry in every way. Lara Fabian is the Ultimate Artist.
Yes, indeed. She already reacted to Adagio from Lara. And by the way Lara is the original singer, wrote the lyrics of Adagio in italian then co-wrote the english version.
Thank you very much for this. Notice the site Canadian accent? She grew up in Montreal, and sings in 12 languages perfectly. I'm a polyglot like her and speak 5 languages while she is fluent in 4. However when she sing in those 12 languages she is perfect in those languages. I am very jealous. Again thank you again. Oh btw, grab a Kleenex box and listen to "Je T'aime" live in Paris in 2001. Extremely emotional and moving.
Her technique is so much part of her that she can sing raw emotion whilst her technique naturally carries it through. Please watch Llora, the official video and tango live in 2003. You will see a bit of her versatility. Also it seems counterintuitive to react to Je suis Malade again but the one she performed in the en toute intimité concert is so different yet brilliant. Thank you
🇨🇦 You are trying to say that ALL of her skills are on AutoPilot, and I completely understand what you meant, and that gives her the freedom to concentrate on her presentation ! Yes, she is the Best, but still studies in Belgium even after 32+ years ! Please react to some more of hers, perhaps her duet with Johnny Hallyday called Requiem pour un fou, or You're not from here or maybe her rendition of Caruso !
Excellent reaction. Very perceptive. There was indeed no second of accident in it. You seemed stunned, like many people who hear this for the first time.
I have a friend that reacts. He stop’s then on the RUclips puts up on screen “The After thought”. This is a breath taking performance. Lara is friends with “Gabriel Henrique” from Brazil. Dimash level singer. Have you heard or reacted him?
Craftsmanship at its Best... I remain enchanted by this saying.. Here is the start of a journey where I encourage you to continue your discoveries around Lara Fabian... take care of yourself... see you very soon
Super réaction!! Ce serait tellement fantastique que tu réagis à “Je T’aime” live en 2001. L’histoire c’est que Lara traversait beaucoup de choses émotionnelles et les spectateurs on planifier avec son band qu’ils allait chanter pour Lara! Je n’ai jamais trouver quelqu’un de francophone qui a réagis à celle-la. L’émotion est incroyable!! En t k - tu est superbe! Merci! 🇨🇦
Can you please do it a song Caruso from Lara Fabian?She sings this song so beatifully, thats out of this world. Thank you and i wish you all the best.😊
If I gave my love, my singing career and my life to someone who did not care, I, too, would feel the soul-crushing despair Lara evokes in Je Suis Malade
At age 54,,,,,,,,Lara is still very active, her voice still grandiose , her look spectacular, She,s got a new world tour starting in april 2024, mostly Europe and mid/Asia after in June its in Canada Ottawa, Montréal. Québec city and Trois-Rivière, I've got my tickets for the 2 shows in Montréal, can't wait. In Montréal june10- sold out, still tickets available june 11
Excellent summary in the end!... Next go with j'etaime (Live in Paris, 2001), you can of course also listen to the official version, the Song is yet another masterpiece.... but that particular live performance has an unexpected surprise in it
Fantastic reaction to a fantastic singer, she lives and embodies what she sings! It's time to expand your reactions to other talent also! Angelina Jordan who won Norway's Got Talent at 8, on the View at age 8, did fantastic covers at age 12 of Lana Del Rey:s Born to Die, Adele's A Million Years Ago, Etta James I'd Rather Be Blind, and Rihanna Stay! Appeared on America's Got Talent the Champions in 2020 at 13 with Bohemian Rhapsody, signed a record deal and started releasing her own music at age 16, and Headlined her own show in Las Vegas at 18 in February at the Westgate Resort! Also Gabriel Henrique who sings as high as any human beautifully and still carries the weight of a male singer, please react to I Have Nothing and a rooftop version of I Want To Know What Love Is with Coral Black to Black!! I also think you would enjoy Sydnie Christmas, who just won Britain's Got Talent with three great reworked songs, Tomorrow, My Way, and Over The Rainbow!
You missed an important of this performance. Go back and watch her emotional release. She was sooo into her zone. I have never seen someone so wrapped up like that. I think you'll agree.
As you are a singer, and in complete relation of what you try to explain in yout comments at the end, you should listen and analyze her song "You're not from here" from same concert Lara with Love. Some things could retain your attention. It's not a song that many reactors listen to, but it's one of the favorite of her fans.
@@ElvannReacts Thanks. I will not say I hope you like it, cause I know you will :) Just an advice, don"t take the first result on RUclips research, the live video from 11 years old, cause it has a very bad sound. Take another restored version, or ask someone to check the sound before you react to it to be sure you don't a bad sound. 😉
I also love the version Belle Perez and Karsu did on Beste Zangers. Just check it out for yourself. Lara is the queen, but I think Belle and Karsu did a very good job with this emotional song.
FYI "malade" has another meaning than sick. Here it means like crazy. Someone will say " Mais tu es malade ou quoi" that can be translated as "But You are crazy or what" Here she says that she must be crazy because she is in love with someone that he doesn't seem to love her back as she should be loved. Also please look how she react when the song is over. We can see that she was living the song and emotionally it takes her a little to get out of her state of mind. Also noice the beginning of the song its like she is becoming another woman. That's amazing as a result she is living the song. If I remember correctly, that song was song by Serge Lamas.
Ohhhh what a shame the english words are not there...the first line....I don't dream anymore......wow, you missed the best part...the words!!!! I don't smoke anymore.......the words are SO powerful!!!
May I recommend the following live performances: Broken Vow: ruclips.net/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/видео.html Requiem pour un fou johnny hallyday et lara fabian: https:ruclips.net/video/U9-9AFxsqHE/видео.html Your not from here: ruclips.net/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/видео.html Je t’aime: ruclips.net/video/qO3b-MyyTZg/видео.html Tango: ruclips.net/video/jEb6oo7Y00k/видео.html Dites moi pourquoi je l’aime: ruclips.net/video/-85T-iR7dfc/видео.html
Too bad this version cuts off abruptly right after the last note and doesn't show her having to stand there for a while before being able to land and come out of character
I personally prefer to hear it (especially for the first time) with the French & English subtitles. Without subtitles you focus more on the spirit of the song. But you (and we) have no understanding. I encourage you to listen with the subtitles so that you understand WHAT is being communicated, and then without, so that you see more clearly HOW it is being expressed. As it says in the bible: *_“I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also”_* (1Corinthians 14:15). The same goes for listening. Also, consider how it would enrich the experience for your listeners, to actually *_understand_* these incredibly moving, poignant & passionate lyrics. ruclips.net/video/dVvlmpo5g9k/видео.html
Caruso is my fav by the way but if you want to tear up you should do je t'aime live from Paris.... I have seen that performance at least 50 times and I tear up each and every time
ruclips.net/video/yCJxJqZanl0/видео.htmlsi=nbvHATOUC86SQF7o or ruclips.net/video/IjGUMQJpbRk/видео.htmlsi=zkLgRDn8q3pcWhHr "Broken Vow" I followed her career and never heard a voice so tied to her heart.
On one thing i don't totally agree,is the fact that you're implying that she is a "actrice".The kind of emotions she puts in this song,can't be acted. At the end of the performance you can clearly see,that she is not even on this world for a moment.That was not acted for sure.
She is the best of the best.
Never seen a performer like her before. Truly a master.
She sings from her soul to ours, in all her songs, still today at 53yo she is the all time best female vocaliste of this century her voice still mesmerising and she is so gorgeous. Listening to Lara and you are screwed for now and forever..Shes got you..helpless and spellbound..Amazing woman!!
If you watched the end of this clip, you can see that Lara was really into her music, it really took her 2 minutes to come back.

More information on Lara Fabian:
Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, ....
In my personal opinion, she is even the best.
There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register.
So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence:
• she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total
• she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer.
• she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none
• she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens.
A quick background on her and her career:
She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages.
She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory.
She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today.
She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada.
She had been living for years in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship. She just moved
back to Italy a few months ago (temporarily?).
She became very famous in Quebec and then conquered France in 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music).
In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US.
This concert is legendary, packed with masterpieces (covered by many great vocalists later on).
But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan.
She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance.
She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then.
Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), …
With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there.
Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her.
She is Dimash's idol:
I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep.
He covered many of her songs, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara.
Out of my mind I can list:
○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer),
○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer),
○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version)
○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know")
She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love".
And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva).
Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida.
Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara.
Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it.
Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration:
○ Floor Jansen (Adagio),
○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime),
○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie),
○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow),
○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace),
○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow),
○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow),
○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow),
○ Dmitri Hvorostovsky (Adagio),
○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime),
○ Forestella (Je suis Malade),
○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow),
○ Gigi de Lana (Broken Vow)
○ Julie Anne san Jose (Adagio, Broken Vow),
○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know),
○ Il Divo (Adagio)
○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you),
○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow)
○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso),
○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie),
○ Amir (Je t’aime),
○ Vitas (Adagio),
○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio),
○ Jeck (Je T’Aime),
○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio),
○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade),

○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow),
○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow),
○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you)
○ Sevara Nazarkhan (Je t’aime)
○ ....
NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version.
Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature.
In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular.
On April and May 2023 she had again a wonderful concerts in Tbilissi, Georgia, and in Ouzbekhistan and Kazakhstan.
Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
Eric you are my man! Thank you for all your info.👍👍👍
Excelent information. Thank you for taking the time to write it all out. I enjoyed reading it.
Not only am I not going to read allat lil'bro but I'm also reporting you for spamming and cringe. Imagine being so low in life that you go and copy paste novels in RUclips comments like a teenage fan girl. So pathetic 😮
Thy for your execution, m8.
It was very interesting to read all these whole information.
One thing I want to say from my opinion.
Yes, there exist a lot of brilliant singers(you count a few), but her skill and performance of this song reached to the highest level I’ve ever heard and seen. Because she didn’t sang this song only, she lived it. I heard and saw never a presentation of a song, which transported such much emotion like this. When I heard this video the first time, I saw it without English subtitles. I don’t speak French, but I cried.
@@wtsalive8210 she often gets in trances interpreting a song and as you say she lives the song. Her vocal mastery allows her to forget about showcasing and focuse on the emotions, the words and the story.
Check the second link I provided in my comment: in this other rendition, she is even more immersed in the song.
for those who wish to there is an english subtitled version of this performance available as well...
as you watch you can see she's literally being transported into the song & is living every word she sings....
You stopped too soon...At the end when the audience is cheering you actually see her re-enter her body & come back being slightly shocked realizing oh right I'm not alone here there's a moment in the song where the lyrics speak of her pouring her blood into her lover & she symbolically slits her own throat with her thumb..so powerful
Great reaction!
If you play the video until the end you will see how deeply she felt what she was singing.
This video version was cut short unfortunately, this one keeps the amazing minute post performance ruclips.net/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/видео.html
Elle est juste magique , fantastique et est pour moi l'une des meilleures chanteuses pop de la planète!!!
I believe that regardless of musical background and preferences (I am, more than anything else, a metal head), it is IMPOSSIBLE to not be blown away by this performance. I discovered it by accident some years ago and I often listen to it just to appreciate the craftmanship one more time.
Lara Fabian is like Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa painting. Unique and perfect. Her singing is something else entirely.
Lmao chill down dude, that comment is really cringe. Mona Lisa is timeless and will forever be in history, Lara will be forgotten in 50-100 years.
@@wooshbait36 Maybe not Mona Lisa, which is , after all a painting by Leonardo. But for any singer, 50-100 years is a decent time frame!
@@frankbirch3877 I agree, Lara is amazing, but you can't compare her to Mona Lisa
This performance is once in a life time. Lara Fabian is amazing. Bad luck you did`n se the very end the minute after the song ended. Its hart breaking and i just want to hug her. Thank you for reacting to this wonderful artist. My Nr One. Any song "From Lara with love" 1999.. is a masterclass in singing.
Lara has been a vocal coach (for The Voice and Star Academy, in Quebec and France).
One contestant asked her how to sing deep emotions without impacting the voice. She replied: « sing the emotions in your head, feel the emotions in your heart, but keep your throat free ».
I think this is a perfect illustration of your insightful comments on vocal skills and emotions coupling/decoupling.
She worked and continues to work so hard on a daily basis to totally master her voice, body support and breath that now she is free. Free to surrender and focus on the emotions and the meaning of the words, on telling the story.
She is the best at this. You just started to cratch the surface, you will love exploring this rabbit hole.
You will find all of us here. 😂
I will post a recommended playlist and some details on her bzckground and career.
Super reaction
Further to Eric's great info, her coaching of this song was super interesting, too.
An excellent 24 mins!
Gets under the bonnet of the song!

I ain't reading allat lil'bro but good luck 🙏
Elvann, Elvann, Elvann!!!...I have been waiting for your reaction to this masterpiece of The Goddess Lara Fabian for a long time!!...Lol!!!...It's difficult to find someone who express exactly what we watch every time we look one Lara’s performance like this...She is the ultimate Mastercraft of singing!!...Now you have to think that she speaks 5 languages and sings in more than 15 languages and with the same perfection and her incredible emotional skills...That's why she is the idol of incredible singers like Dimash, the best singer of the entire world, and so many more...Thank you for finally react to Je Suis Malade...Next from Lara?...Broken Vow in english from the same concert "From Lara with Love" 1999.
She’s so incredible isn’t she?
Wow! "...craftmanship at it's finest. No one has ever said that about our dear Lara. Oh, you've said and painted such a beautiful picture of Lara and truly has earned it and deserves all of this kind of credit. I totally agree too that her music she brings to the table the complete connection between technique and expression. Again, like in "Adagio", but even more so with this song, Lara's facial expression both before and at the end of the song is that she's utterly and wholesome engrossed and one with the story. She sheer emotion displayed vocally and physically throughout the song cannot be mistaken for anything less than real.
You, Elvann, in the way you shared that bit about yourself and the way you expressed yourself in this entire reaction has brought me to tears. Tears shed also because of your pure honesty about yourself too. I appreciate you and especially what you did here. I wish we'll for your future. Blessings ❤
Thank you for your insightful and honest reaction. There is probably not a song I've listened to more than this one by her and it continues to move me every time. I totally agree, for all the reasons you mentioned, I think she is the finest female vocalist alive today.
❤Your reaction and ❤Lara
Powerhouse and a masterclass for many singers…. And her delivery….It’s like little movies…
First time I saw this song, I instantly thought she is a professional through and through.
What a very emotional way of singing Lara had here! A great song! I'm impressed ❤ I agree with your reaction here, Elvann..
She is my favorite female performer ever, not only a great voice, but she sings with all her sense and passion.., always ❤️
Just a complete masterclass 👌 💞🫂💪
Great reaction to such an incredible performance! My favourite female singer without a doubt. She is so amazing and sings with so much emotion and passion!
I recommend the following songs to react to. You're not from here, Broken Vow, Caruso and Perdere l'amore. They are all amazing!
Greetings from London 😀
I agree with you she masters stelar performances
I loved your insight into her performance. I do not have enough musical knowledge to recognize the synergy between her technique and emotion but I felt it and you explained it. Thank you, I've been stuck on this performance for some time because I believe that this synergy also applies to so much in life and I get it now. Lots of love!
Lara, é Maravilhosa!
Thanks for react!
C'est bien !
I agree with all what you said and also think this performance is one of the best of the century ! She strickes my heart all the Time... and as you Saïd she is using her vocal skills so well that we don't focus on it but we just feel the raw emotion she is transmitting. And that's beautiful ✨
I couldn't have put it better myself! 😌💜
@@ElvannReacts You did put your reaction not only in most adequate words, you conveyed Lara's wonderful ability to combine vocal splendor, "technical" perfection and emotional story-telling yourself. Thanks and bravo to this reaction 👏🎶👏👍
@@ElvannReactsHi, beautiful young woman! Do you remember Diana Ankudinova? You have only responded to 2 of Diana's songs! And Diana has dozens of them! And there are more impressive ones! She is 20 yo today and She has greatly improved her vocal skills! Please react to I CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE!
ruclips.net/video/M-znD6QKbrg/видео.htmlsi=ZUQyexR8Wag9qqcY
as a favor to yourself react to her performance from her " Pure " concert in Montreal singing a cover of two Barbra Streisand songs from the movie " Yentle " ----- even Streisand herself never performed these two songs ( Papa can you hear me , a piece of sky ) live and together...........it is a masterclass of artistry in every way. Lara Fabian is the Ultimate Artist.
Holy Mole! Awesome reaction thank you. She is the greatest performance singer of the last 30 years. And, she is the Queen, long may she reign.
The rendition of Adagio by Lara and Floor is so good, as they perform this song in a different way. Definitely listen🤟🏻🤟🏻🎶🎶
Yes, indeed. She already reacted to Adagio from Lara.
And by the way Lara is the original singer, wrote the lyrics of Adagio in italian then co-wrote the english version.
Absolutely no one pours out their emotions in a performance like Lara Fabian.
Fully emotinal reaction Elvann, thanks:) Lara leaves us speechless once again:)
Thank you very much for this. Notice the site Canadian accent? She grew up in Montreal, and sings in 12 languages perfectly. I'm a polyglot like her and speak 5 languages while she is fluent in 4. However when she sing in those 12 languages she is perfect in those languages. I am very jealous. Again thank you again. Oh btw, grab a Kleenex box and listen to "Je T'aime" live in Paris in 2001. Extremely emotional and moving.
Είναι η βασίλισσα μας ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow more Lara ❤
Her technique is so much part of her that she can sing raw emotion whilst her technique naturally carries it through. Please watch Llora, the official video and tango live in 2003. You will see a bit of her versatility. Also it seems counterintuitive to react to Je suis Malade again but the one she performed in the en toute intimité concert is so different yet brilliant. Thank you
muito bom !!!
🇨🇦 You are trying to say that ALL of her skills are on AutoPilot, and I completely understand what you meant, and that gives her the freedom to concentrate on her presentation ! Yes, she is the Best, but still studies in Belgium even after 32+ years ! Please react to some more of hers, perhaps her duet with Johnny Hallyday called Requiem pour un fou, or You're not from here or maybe her rendition of Caruso !
Perfecta
Excellent reaction. Very perceptive. There was indeed no second of accident in it. You seemed stunned, like many people who hear this for the first time.
Excelent video!! Great reaction..
Please now react to: Lara Fabian - ' You are not from here' (from lara with love)
😊❤❤❤❤❤
Love her big fan off lara🇳🇱🇳🇱🇨🇼🇨🇼❤
Lara Fabian does not just sing the song... she becomes the song!
This song is fantastic and Lara is an amazing performer i cant' help but cry😢
Brilliant reaction to Lara Elvann.
I have a friend that reacts. He stop’s then on the RUclips puts up on screen “The After thought”. This is a breath taking performance. Lara is friends with “Gabriel Henrique” from Brazil. Dimash level singer. Have you heard or reacted him?
She's Belgian btw (with Italian mother). The Canadian citizenship came later in life.
Super comparaison entre un conducteur débutant et un conducteur expérimenté. Très parlant.
Bravo
For emotional expressivity, this and ”Caruso” are my top two from Lars Fabian!
Craftsmanship at its Best... I remain enchanted by this saying.. Here is the start of a journey where I encourage you to continue your discoveries around Lara Fabian... take care of yourself... see you very soon
Super réaction!! Ce serait tellement fantastique que tu réagis à “Je T’aime” live en 2001. L’histoire c’est que Lara traversait beaucoup de choses émotionnelles et les spectateurs on planifier avec son band qu’ils allait chanter pour Lara! Je n’ai jamais trouver quelqu’un de francophone qui a réagis à celle-la. L’émotion est incroyable!!
En t k - tu est superbe! Merci! 🇨🇦
she wasn't singing, she was living and performing a song.
greatest performance ever
'Her technique is an extension of how she feels', it's called 'Art'...
Can you please do it a song Caruso from Lara Fabian?She sings this song so beatifully, thats out of this world. Thank you and i wish you all the best.😊
If you love this one please watch the Voice Kids France 2018 with 9 year old Emma or 15 year old dutch Emma Kok with Voila, with André Rieu...
If I gave my love, my singing career and my life to someone who did not care, I, too, would feel the soul-crushing despair Lara evokes in Je Suis Malade
At age 54,,,,,,,,Lara is still very active, her voice still grandiose , her look spectacular, She,s got a new world tour starting in april 2024, mostly Europe and mid/Asia after in June its in Canada Ottawa, Montréal. Québec city and Trois-Rivière, I've got my tickets for the 2 shows in Montréal, can't wait. In Montréal june10- sold out, still tickets available june 11
You can react to Broken box, Caruso, Caruso and also je t’aime live un Paris it’s magical
Excellent summary in the end!...
Next go with j'etaime (Live in Paris, 2001), you can of course also listen to the official version, the Song is yet another masterpiece.... but that particular live performance has an unexpected surprise in it
Fantastic reaction to a fantastic singer, she lives and embodies what she sings! It's time to expand your reactions to other talent also! Angelina Jordan who won Norway's Got Talent at 8, on the View at age 8, did fantastic covers at age 12 of Lana Del Rey:s Born to Die, Adele's A Million Years Ago, Etta James I'd Rather Be Blind, and Rihanna Stay! Appeared on America's Got Talent the Champions in 2020 at 13 with Bohemian Rhapsody, signed a record deal and started releasing her own music at age 16, and Headlined her own show in Las Vegas at 18 in February at the Westgate Resort!
Also Gabriel Henrique who sings as high as any human beautifully and still carries the weight of a male singer, please react to I Have Nothing and a rooftop version of I Want To Know What Love Is with Coral Black to Black!!
I also think you would enjoy Sydnie Christmas, who just won Britain's Got Talent with three great reworked songs, Tomorrow, My Way, and Over The Rainbow!
listen to Mademoiselle Hyde “Lubov pocochaya na son” new wave 2016 Sochi, how she portrays the two characters is formidable.🎶🎶🤟🏻🤟🏻
Lara is spectacular! Can you please react to SIA - Alive, live at Graham Norton? Such a special, powerful vocalist!
Let's listen to Forestella's Je suis malade. Fans of Forestella will love it.
🥰
I know this reaction was a while ago. It just came up on my page but would love for you to react to Lara singing Caruso please
De Lara Fabian et Mauranne "tu es mon autre"
Of course react to JE TAIME LIVE IN PARIS
You missed an important of this performance. Go back and watch her emotional release. She was sooo into her zone. I have never seen someone so wrapped up like that. I think you'll agree.
As you are a singer, and in complete relation of what you try to explain in yout comments at the end, you should listen and analyze her song "You're not from here" from same concert Lara with Love. Some things could retain your attention. It's not a song that many reactors listen to, but it's one of the favorite of her fans.
Thanks so much for the recommendation! I just added it to my list of reactions to record! ;)
@@ElvannReacts Thanks. I will not say I hope you like it, cause I know you will :) Just an advice, don"t take the first result on RUclips research, the live video from 11 years old, cause it has a very bad sound. Take another restored version, or ask someone to check the sound before you react to it to be sure you don't a bad sound. 😉
Lara's caruso please
I also love the version Belle Perez and Karsu did on Beste Zangers. Just check it out for yourself. Lara is the queen, but I think Belle and Karsu did a very good job with this emotional song.
FYI "malade" has another meaning than sick. Here it means like crazy. Someone will say " Mais tu es malade ou quoi" that can be translated as "But You are crazy or what" Here she says that she must be crazy because she is in love with someone that he doesn't seem to love her back as she should be loved. Also please look how she react when the song is over. We can see that she was living the song and emotionally it takes her a little to get out of her state of mind. Also noice the beginning of the song its like she is becoming another woman. That's amazing as a result she is living the song. If I remember correctly, that song was song by Serge Lamas.
Take notes Adele this is how to sing
react to aniel Balavoine : tous les cris, les s o s . Please thanks
Well Lara Fabian is the SECOND best French female singer waayy behind Céline Dion Lara is really good
Ohhhh what a shame the english words are not there...the first line....I don't dream anymore......wow, you missed the best part...the words!!!! I don't smoke anymore.......the words are SO powerful!!!
MUCH MORE EMOTIONAL WITH LYRICS... You miss MANY THINGS without them...
Version with lyrics easy to find.
What do you mean? With them translated? I don’t need them, French is my native language 😌
@@ElvannReacts are you sure ? You look like an Irish girl...
@@fabienbertoldi3406 LOL, my grand father was Irish actually. But no, I was born and raised speaking French 🤪
@@ElvannReacts I was sure you have some Irish blood !
why no subtitles?
Comment as-tu aimé un petit produit fait maison (Montréal, y'a un p'tit bout)? 😊
Why not to cry? Why do some people think it's agood idea to smother emotions?!
Please add subtitles, not all of us speak French
Please listen to new song by Diana Ankudinova,, the day you... "( official liric video)
I’m adding it to my playlist of videos to react to immediately !! 😇

Too bad this version cuts off abruptly right after the last note and doesn't show her having to stand there for a while before being able to land and come out of character
You should try Mylene for a light hearted change.
Lara is fabulous but doesn't have very many great songs to begin with.
I personally prefer to hear it (especially for the first time) with the French & English subtitles. Without subtitles you focus more on the spirit of the song. But you (and we) have no understanding. I encourage you to listen with the subtitles so that you understand WHAT is being communicated, and then without, so that you see more clearly HOW it is being expressed. As it says in the bible: *_“I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also”_* (1Corinthians 14:15). The same goes for listening. Also, consider how it would enrich the experience for your listeners, to actually *_understand_* these incredibly moving, poignant & passionate lyrics.
ruclips.net/video/dVvlmpo5g9k/видео.html
Lara is not a singer... Lara is emotions vocally painted.
Caruso is my fav by the way but if you want to tear up you should do je t'aime live from Paris.... I have seen that performance at least 50 times and I tear up each and every time
ruclips.net/video/yCJxJqZanl0/видео.htmlsi=nbvHATOUC86SQF7o or ruclips.net/video/IjGUMQJpbRk/видео.htmlsi=zkLgRDn8q3pcWhHr "Broken Vow" I followed her career and never heard a voice so tied to her heart.
On one thing i don't totally agree,is the fact that you're implying that she is a "actrice".The kind of emotions she puts in this song,can't be acted. At the end of the performance you can clearly see,that she is not even on this world for a moment.That was not acted for sure.
