Oh man your lucky because you haven’t experienced the most mind blowing song from her yet. Je suis malade from the same concert, absolutely devastating.
Yes you have to one from the same concert with the translation because it is in french. And after tey Caruso, more rock opera with the duet Johnny Hallyday and her Requiem pour un fou, and in english try Broken vow. Thanks for your reaction
Agreed. And Je T'aime Live Paris 2001 .. Best audience ever . Can't believe you weren't familiar with her ..French,English, Italian, Spanish etc and a great role model of Dimash oh I think they did a duet ..I'll look .. but there are many many LF performances that have me in tears totally connected
I'm not really into the type of music she does, but her vocals are world class. The way she goes from those husky lows to her perfectly clean and bright highs without any noticable transitions. I don't know anyone else that covers that kind of range so seamlessly. And she sings with such deep emotion too. She's incredible.
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 french and italian 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 now lives in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship She became very famous there 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 and the song you just reviewed is from this concert. 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, … 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, Ascolta la Voce), ○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow), ○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace), ○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Julie Anne san Jose (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), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ .... 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. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
@@ericsicard910 je vois souvent vos commentaires sur les vidéos de réaction de tout ces gens qui découvrent à peine Lara. Vous prenez bien le temps de leur expliquer où ils mettent les pieds. La boîte de pandore qu'ils ouvrent chaque fois qu'ils disent "I want to know more...". Vous devez être comme moi un très grand fan de la plus grande artiste de l'univers.
I've watched hundreds of reactions to this particular song... I watched yours more than 20 times and I'm not disappointed. It's still the most amazing reaction I've seen so far, still amazing after 20 times! Every song in that show (From Lara with Love) is a masterclass! You'll love Broken Vow, Perdere L'amore, Je suis malade, Caruso... She sang with Phil Collins, Michael Bolton (Las Vegas in 2010), and many more. She really is the 4th voice in the Vocal Trinity of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion.
Exactly, and he also covered from her: Mademoiselle Hyde, Love of Tired Swans, Know. He covered Love is like a Dream after her own cover. And she wrote the lyrics of his song Your Love. Finally, they performed together in a trio for Ti Amo Cosi.
Mr Lboyd, you are already this song by Dimash with his famous blue costume. For information it's her song and she is Dimash's idol. Your reaction is fantastic and now i'm waiting you with reaction "Je suis malade" thank you so much for your sincerely. 💙🤍❤️🌹💋🕊️🙏😍
The melody is from baroque composer Albinoni’s “ Adagio in G Minor”. Lara, who is Belgian/ Sicilian/ French Canadian, wrote the words. My favorite by her is Caruso. Her Italian is phenomenal.
The “Adagio in G Minor” was written in the year 1958 by Remo Giazotto, an admirer of Albinoni and a music professor, who said, he got 4 bars of one instrument including the basso continuo notation of a piece by Albinoni. So he tried to "reconstruct" the whole piece, but in fact wrote it.
Her Italian is phenomenal because her mother is Italian. But yes, I understand, as a learnt Italian speaker I understand how different the vowels and consonants are in comparison to English or French.
Yeah she is amazing bro! Check out "Je suis malade" and "Caruso" with english subtitles. Also "Mademoiselle Hyde" is cool! As far as I know she can sing in English, French and Italian and as other have mentioned, Dimash considers her one of his idols!
I forgot to mention just how much I enjoyed your reaction! It's rare to see appreciation such as yours to one of the most accomplished vocalists of our time! It's too bad that the internet was not a big thing at the height of her career, or many more people in the US would have known about Lara!
Dimash covers this song, which you have reacted to. She lived in Quebec for from she was 11 years old till adulthood, so the accent may be the same as Celines
She moved to quebec when she was 20, not 11, but yes that's where she started her singing career and she is still leaving there. She also has a house in Sicilia and frequently spends some months there (mother family from Catane, Sicilia).
Welcome to the world of the best voice and performer ever. IMO. Just watch every song from her LIVE concert "From Lara with Love". You'll understand how amazing she is. And the song TANGO!
TY Lboyd - OMG Lboyd you nailed it. Love love love love this reaction. Pissed.... The first time finding Lara, perhaps this song specifically, is a moment, I predict with great confidence, you will remember forever. I was very pissed, angry. How on earth could a talent this monstrous have escaped me this long. What follows anger, what it morphs into, is AWE. As you said she is Without Flaw - Mind Blowing - Clean - Effortless. OMG!!!! She took a classical piece, whose origin is in debate, and wrote the words to it. She is the O.G. Lboyd. If you do one more song of hers...you will get flooded with suggestions...fair warning, you will be in a life long relationship with Lara, mesmerized, unable to achieve escape velocity from her gravity. Lara must be seen live as she is an experience...the greatest live artist, singer, performer of the last 30 years. Lara meet lboyd - lboyd meet Lara. She is the Queen, my Queen, our Queen...long may she reign.
Hello, merci pour ta réaction à lara ,lara exceptionnelle. Elle chante dans 12 langues différente, français, anglais, italien, espagnol, portugais, allemand, russe, adzerbagian, grec, turc, hébreu et latin et parle couramment 4 langues différente, français, anglais, italien, espagnol. Elle est considerer comme la 4ème voix derrière celine dion, Mariah Carey et Whitney Houston,mes numéro 1 en terme d'émotion. Écoute absolument la chanson JE SUIS MALADE.
This is not a cover for Lara....she adapted a piece of classical music and wrote the lyrics and the arrangement....this is Lara's song covered by many...
Great comment on being disappointed you can't experience the first listen again.I only discovered Lara a few years ago, she is an incredible performer as well as a singer. The 3 songs I would recommend by her next would be ""Je suis malade” (w/ subtitles - it's in French), "Caruso (subtitles again - this one's in Italian), and "Broken Vow". There are plenty more, but those 3 are my most listened too.
As to your comment that you have heard this song before, you probably heared Dimash singing it during the competition on China , yests ago. But Lara Fabian was the first.
Not only a great singer, but a great performer as well. Its hard not to to feel everything she says by her actions and body language. If you like this then you should check out the live versions of "Je Taime" and "Ju Sui Milade"
With Lara Fabian, you can listen to it in French JE SUIS MALADE , JE T'AIME. In English, YOU'RE NOT FROM HERE, LOVE BY GRACE. In Spanish, LLORA, QUEDATE and in Italian, two masterful performances CARUSO, PERDERE L'AMORE. All of these songs are classics. Thank you from Montreal.
Hello! It is amazing that, although she has been performing for more than 25 years, she's still quite an unknown. Lara is an artist you don't just listen to, she has a wonderful stage presence, knows how act and use the stage to her full advantage. She draws the audience in with her emotions and clear and dynamic voice and keeps them captivated and on the edge of their seats. This is a journey you've only just started. Suggestions? "Je t'aime", "Je suis malade", "Caruso", "Perdere L'amore", "Tango", "Comme Ils Disent" just to name a few. She's magic in the flesh.
She is mesmerizing isn't she? She is a musical beast....with control❤ Oh, trust me you will have that feeling many times as you discover each new song. She takes each note She sings and makes it her own. She could sing the alphabet and make it magical. The greatest female artist if our time. As you discover more of her you will be so amazed ❤ Lara is greatness ❤❤❤
Lara Fabian is just amazing!! So manny thinks to say about her! Please allways listen Lara live ,she is one off the few that you have to hear her live!! She created the words for Adagio , composer an italian for the melody , Manny so manny covered Adagio ,but she was the creater, Dimash is one off them. Lara also worked with Igor Krutoy first then Dimash! Listen Mademoiselle Hyde ( Lara Fabian ,composer Ygor Krutoy), Allways , Growing Wings, Caruso , Je t' aime live in Paris etc so manny 🥰🥰🥲
Your reaction was really precious... This is Lara's song... it is not a cover... Lara is often compared to great artists, but she's totally in a class of her own... totally superior. I am sure you will agree once you listen to some of her other 'paintings'. She is addictive. You never get enough of her voice. You always want to come back for some more. Do not be disappointed that the first experience with the song was over. You can watch Lara's live videos over and over many times and you will still shed tears. She's the best remedy for a joyful eye wash. By the way, ADAGIO is an Italian word meaning 'slowly' or 'at ease'... Lara's initial writing of the song is in Italian. The word is spelled the same way in both languages but the Italian pronunciation is without the 'i', 'ADAGO' just as Lara pronounces it in the English version. To me ADAGIO here is a metaphor representing the name of LARA's prince charming that she dreams about and aspires to find, unceasingly urging him to respond to her heart desires and promptly commit to stay forever in her loving arms. Beautiful yet frustrating because this prince charming is none other than slow moving 'ADAGIO'! Lara is a genius. I don't know how anyone can escape the magic of her voice and the beauty of her heart!
Great reaction, the last part has the same effect on everyone, but your growing smile is priceless 😁 Don't be disappointed because even knowing the song, you'll be caught every time! And the lucky thing for you is that there are many more songs to discover. Many people will recommend "Je suis malade" from the same concert : Lara with Love (with English subtitles for the full experience) and they are right, it will again blow your mind. You have to prepare yourself for this one 😉
So glad you finally discovered Lara for yourself, she is indeed phenomenal and very very special. I have been listening to this song for years, and the effect does not fade off, once you hear her sing, she stays with you for the rest of your life, that's how I feel. The music may sound familiar in case you have watched The Assassination of Gianni Versace, Adagio in G Minor. The lyrics to this beautiful music were written by Lara. I have seen her live, an unforgettable experience. Thank you for your reaction to Lara, looking forward to more! Peace)
I knew you would appreciate the greatest female voice on planet Earth, Lara Fabian! You have impeccable taste to say the least. More please. Songs like Caruso. Je suis malade. You're not from here. And the song She Wrote. Broken Vow. Always looking forward to your next reaction, especially when it comes to the best of the best. Even if it's on your own time you must try David Phelps. His most reacted to live videos. Songs Like Never Walk Alone. No More Night. Nessun Dorma. Mio Bambino Caro. Oh Holy Night. Your love. The dream. And many more his daughter Beth Phelps does the song called. My child. You might enjoy that also. Until next time, stay well and popping for fresh!
Don't worry. You'll discover something new in her voice and performace everytime you hear it. It's like a symphony - endless details. All the best from Copenhagen, Adam
:Lara the most gorgeous female voice I've ever heard, in my opinion. And her technique and emotional delivery is unmatched. Please listen to Caruso, and everything else.
Lara Fabian is a flawless performer! You MUST listen to “Je Suis Malade” and “Caruso.” And please, PLEASE, don’t just listen. WATCH her perform. She puts all of herself into the performance.
You have been missing out!! She’s incredible!! You MUST see her sing Je Suis Malade from the same concert, You Are Not From Here. Just to name a few ❤❤❤
I really enjoyed your reaction. She is one of the best singers in the world. Amazing, technical control. She is known as 'The Ring' and has the ability to 'fuse' the antagonistic muscle groups in her throat which creates a thin/thick tone without any break (if that makes any sense). Watch her Je Suis Malade performance from her Lara with Love concert; one of the best live performances of all time.
you should experiment hearing her once again for the first time with songs like " Broken vow" " je suis malade" "you are not from here " "Caruso " and more. you will see how amazing she is.
I believe you will enjoy your Lara Fabian journey. "Perderé l'Amore" live. Also "I Guess I Loved You " also live . Anything from the Lara with Love concert. There are so many great songs from her.
I’m with you here. I had loosing the first time experience of Lara Fabian. Having said that; I was so upset that I only found her 5 years ago. Became an instant mega fan and had to seek out every thing going back to 1988. She’s a vocal phenomenon. You’ll see!!
Lara is not only a varied and dynamic performer, she sings in multiple languages and is just a dream in live performances. Thanks for reacting to this. If you ever do another one of her songs, I'd suggest Je suis malade. Sorry, I'm not French 😄
Your first reaction to the best. Worked with Maestro Igor Krutoy for many years, idolised by Dimash since his childhood and through Igor got to sing with her and Aida Garifullina on the song Ti amo cosi. Dimash has covered many of her songs, including this one on the Singer, and she also wrote the lyrics for him for the song Your Love composed by Igor premiered at the Kremlin Palace, and she's adored by millions worldwide. She's so captivating.
Somewhat surprised you haven't experienced Lara until now. Checkout je suis malade, je taime, or anything she does. She is the definition of performance art.
The dynamic, the lows, the highs, the interpretation of the melody, the air sustain... sings in more than 10 languages, the love for the music. You can see easily all the influence that she had on Dimash formation as a singer.
You must do Je Suis Malade (but you probably want the version with subtitles, unless you're fluent in French), Caruso (again, with subtitles, unless you're fluent in Italian) and Broken Vow. Lara is not only an amazing singer, but she is also a polyglot and speaks about 6 different languages.
Je suis malade please, dimash doesnt name a ton of his influences, but in numerous interviews speaks adoration for lara. He has sang with her and has covered this song that you have reviewed and thats probably why it sounds familiar but couldnt place it
She’s one of the best singers of all time if not THE BEST. she’s a great vocalist, an amazing storyteller… a true artist better say. You mentioned Celine Dion, well… that’s everyone when it comes to listening to Lara Fabian, they think about Celine and that’s because of how much they sound alike and tbh the conflict between their fans never ends. 😅 I highly suggest you to react to Lara’s performances of: - Je suis malade - Je T’aime - Caruso - Broken Vow - You’re not from here
Other than the natural French lilt, their voices are quite different. Céline has a more nasal tone and is sharper in her higher notes. Lara is a round, rich tone.
@@pacscanadadatabaseservices3711 My bad, I was about to say “Their style of singing and the drama of their performances “ but actually they do sound alike at some cases.. don’t forget that early Celine wasn’t nasally
Yes indeed, FLWL is a hell of a concert, on par with her En toute intimité concert in 2003. FLWL has full 100 musicians orchestra and ETI just a piano and a few chords. I even sighlty prefer ETI as it lets shine Lara’s voice better
Albinoni’s Adagio in G Minor is an instrumental, the Doors did a cover, Have you seen the movie, Rollerball, the main character played it while watching home movies of his deceased wife, You hear it all over the place.
Incredible performance. Please react to Caruso (in Italian), Je Suis malade (in French) both with subtitles. Broken vow and You’re not from here all from the same concert and all mind blowing
If you would like to hear her for the 1st time again, I might suggest the following songs that are a small example of her brilliance and charisma..... "Je Suis Malade"....."Caruso"....."Tango".....and her tribute to Barbra Streisand "Yentl Medley".... live at Center Molson in Montreal in 1997, with Ms. Streisand in attendance....absolutely brilliant. You can find the first three suggestions all from live performances which is the only way to listen to Lara as well as the chance to see what a spectacular live performer she is. One more suggestion, if I may....never never cut one of her videos off...let it run to the last note as it will give you insight into her commitment to her music as well as her audience buying into her performance. Personal Note: Having seen both Lara Fabian and Celine Dion in concert....Celine is not on the same level as Lara...(my opinion only) Welcome to the world of Lara Fabian...perhaps the greatest female singers of the last 50 years. Enjoy....
Elle chante dans plusieurs langues adagio en anglais ,ecoute JE SUIS MALADE en français, PERDER L AMORE en italien c est magnifique contente que cela te plaise 🥰👍
Great reaction. Lara Fabian is masterclass and beyond. I'm in a Lara Fabian loop from hell and I love it. For me she has the most beautiful voice on the planet that speaks straight to your heart. By the way..Who is Celine Dion?😉
Did anyone tell you that the word "Adagio" is not a person's name, it means 'slowly'? It is an old composition "Adagio in G Minor' so, the title. You already know that Lara wrote the lyrics. I know, this is old news - I just had to share. Cheers.
Dude you have no idea. To me, second only to Whitney with her live versions. It’s the delivery and just becoming the song. Vocally flawless. She is a contemporary of Celine and when she was going to make in the US, Celine’s team made sure, not sure how, that Lara does not get known because it would have taken away from Celine’s trajectory. So sad because there’s always room for many incredible singers. She’s Belgian/Italian/Canadian. Listen to Je Suis Malade I think from the same concert and Caruso, both live.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen you quite this expressive with excitement before. Not even with the rap, which I believe is your bread and butter! Just fantastic! Ha ha. Yes, this is one of her best performances, ever and songs, and don’t worry about never experiencing it for the first time again. It never gets old. This performance will always hit you pretty much the same way.
Oh man your lucky because you haven’t experienced the most mind blowing song from her yet. Je suis malade from the same concert, absolutely devastating.
Yes you have to one from the same concert with the translation because it is in french. And after tey Caruso, more rock opera with the duet Johnny Hallyday and her Requiem pour un fou, and in english try Broken vow. Thanks for your reaction
Agreed. And Je T'aime Live Paris 2001 .. Best audience ever . Can't believe you weren't familiar with her ..French,English, Italian, Spanish etc and a great role model of Dimash oh I think they did a duet ..I'll look .. but there are many many LF performances that have me in tears totally connected
Listen to her sing Caruso!! Mind Blowing!!
First time hearing Her thank you. Will not be my last
I'm not really into the type of music she does, but her vocals are world class. The way she goes from those husky lows to her perfectly clean and bright highs without any noticable transitions. I don't know anyone else that covers that kind of range so seamlessly.
And she sings with such deep emotion too. She's incredible.
**All live version**
-Je suis malade
-Caruso
-Perdere lamore
-Je t'aime
The rest is history
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 french and italian 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 now lives in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship
She became very famous there 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 and the song you just reviewed is from this concert.
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, …
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, Ascolta la Voce),

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.
Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
Pas grand chose à rajouter. Pour ma part j'ai assisté au concert du 5 octobre à Strasbourg. Un moment hors du temps...
@@goliath68720 moi c’etait le 1er octobre au mans. Premier concert où elle a rechanté Adagio 🤩
Elle est unique
@@ericsicard910 je vois souvent vos commentaires sur les vidéos de réaction de tout ces gens qui découvrent à peine Lara. Vous prenez bien le temps de leur expliquer où ils mettent les pieds. La boîte de pandore qu'ils ouvrent chaque fois qu'ils disent "I want to know more...". Vous devez être comme moi un très grand fan de la plus grande artiste de l'univers.
@@goliath68720 comme moi 👌 juste dommage qu'elle n'ai pas chanté adagio pffff 🙄
Wow, quel merveilleux fan vous êtes. Merci pour ce résumé :)😀
Lara Fabian Je Suis Malade" with English subtitles will change your life! 💗
She is amazing ❤
I've watched hundreds of reactions to this particular song... I watched yours more than 20 times and I'm not disappointed. It's still the most amazing reaction I've seen so far, still amazing after 20 times! Every song in that show (From Lara with Love) is a masterclass! You'll love Broken Vow, Perdere L'amore, Je suis malade, Caruso... She sang with Phil Collins, Michael Bolton (Las Vegas in 2010), and many more. She really is the 4th voice in the Vocal Trinity of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion.
Ben venuto nel meraviglioso mondo di Lara...donna di sangue Italiano...un saluto a tutti dalle coste del mar Mediterraneo...ciao
This is one of Dimash's idols! He sings this song so you've probably heard his cover
Exactly, and he also covered from her: Mademoiselle Hyde, Love of Tired Swans, Know. He covered Love is like a Dream after her own cover. And she wrote the lyrics of his song Your Love. Finally, they performed together in a trio for Ti Amo Cosi.
Mr Lboyd, you are already this song by Dimash with his famous blue costume. For information it's her song and she is Dimash's idol. Your reaction is fantastic and now i'm waiting you with reaction "Je suis malade" thank you so much for your sincerely. 💙🤍❤️🌹💋🕊️🙏😍
The melody is from baroque composer Albinoni’s “ Adagio in G Minor”. Lara, who is Belgian/ Sicilian/ French Canadian, wrote the words. My favorite by her is Caruso. Her Italian is phenomenal.
The “Adagio in G Minor” was written in the year 1958 by Remo Giazotto, an admirer of Albinoni and a music professor, who said, he got 4 bars of one instrument including the basso continuo notation of a piece by Albinoni. So he tried to "reconstruct" the whole piece, but in fact wrote it.
Her Italian is phenomenal because her mother is Italian. But yes, I understand, as a learnt Italian speaker I understand how different the vowels and consonants are in comparison to English or French.
Yeah she is amazing bro! Check out "Je suis malade" and "Caruso" with english subtitles. Also "Mademoiselle Hyde" is cool!
As far as I know she can sing in English, French and Italian and as other have mentioned, Dimash considers her one of his idols!
Welcome to the Lara fan club. Most beautiful talented singer out there. Your best reaction yet. ❤
It was a real treat to watch you react to Lara Fabian, for the first time.
Rest assured that you will not leave this trip unscathed. 😅
I forgot to mention just how much I enjoyed your reaction! It's rare to see appreciation such as yours to one of the most accomplished vocalists of our time! It's too bad that the internet was not a big thing at the height of her career, or many more people in the US would have known about Lara!
Je Suis Malade by Lara Fabian is the real one.
Lara best singer ever!!!!
Dimash covers this song, which you have reacted to. She lived in Quebec for from she was 11 years old till adulthood, so the accent may be the same as Celines
She moved to quebec when she was 20, not 11, but yes that's where she started her singing career and she is still leaving there. She also has a house in Sicilia and frequently spends some months there (mother family from Catane, Sicilia).
@@ericsicard910 you are right
Welcome to the world of the best voice and performer ever. IMO. Just watch every song from her LIVE concert "From Lara with Love". You'll understand how amazing she is. And the song TANGO!
I've been WAITING for you to discover Lara! She is beyond words talented and an absolute vocal master.
I love her singing Broken Vow. It's amazing
TY Lboyd - OMG Lboyd you nailed it. Love love love love this reaction. Pissed.... The first time finding Lara, perhaps this song specifically, is a moment, I predict with great confidence, you will remember forever. I was very pissed, angry. How on earth could a talent this monstrous have escaped me this long. What follows anger, what it morphs into, is AWE. As you said she is Without Flaw - Mind Blowing - Clean - Effortless. OMG!!!! She took a classical piece, whose origin is in debate, and wrote the words to it. She is the O.G. Lboyd. If you do one more song of hers...you will get flooded with suggestions...fair warning, you will be in a life long relationship with Lara, mesmerized, unable to achieve escape velocity from her gravity. Lara must be seen live as she is an experience...the greatest live artist, singer, performer of the last 30 years. Lara meet lboyd - lboyd meet Lara. She is the Queen, my Queen, our Queen...long may she reign.
Hello, merci pour ta réaction à lara ,lara exceptionnelle.
Elle chante dans 12 langues différente, français, anglais, italien, espagnol, portugais, allemand, russe, adzerbagian, grec, turc, hébreu et latin et parle couramment 4 langues différente, français, anglais, italien, espagnol.
Elle est considerer comme la 4ème voix derrière celine dion, Mariah Carey et Whitney Houston,mes numéro 1 en terme d'émotion.
Écoute absolument la chanson JE SUIS MALADE.
This is not a cover for Lara....she adapted a piece of classical music and wrote the lyrics and the arrangement....this is Lara's song covered by many...
My favorite song of her is "JE T'AIME - LARA FABIAN LIVE " NUE -2002 " and " je suis malade". She is amazing vocalist, one of the best in my opinion 😊
Listen to Lara and you are screwed for now and forever..Shes got you..helpless and spellbound..Amazing woman!!
Great comment on being disappointed you can't experience the first listen again.I only discovered Lara a few years ago, she is an incredible performer as well as a singer. The 3 songs I would recommend by her next would be ""Je suis malade” (w/ subtitles - it's in French), "Caruso (subtitles again - this one's in Italian), and "Broken Vow". There are plenty more, but those 3 are my most listened too.
As to your comment that you have heard this song before, you probably heared Dimash singing it during the competition on China , yests ago. But Lara Fabian was the first.
@@זאבליבוביץ-פ2ת She wrote the lyrics.
Not only a great singer, but a great performer as well. Its hard not to to feel everything she says by her actions and body language. If you like this then you should check out the live versions of "Je Taime" and "Ju Sui Milade"
With Lara Fabian, you can listen to it in French JE SUIS MALADE , JE T'AIME. In English, YOU'RE NOT FROM HERE, LOVE BY GRACE. In Spanish, LLORA, QUEDATE and in Italian, two masterful performances CARUSO, PERDERE L'AMORE. All of these songs are classics. Thank you from Montreal.
Dimash has covered it.
Since he was young, she has made his heart go pitter patter.
Hello! It is amazing that, although she has been performing for more than 25 years, she's still quite an unknown. Lara is an artist you don't just listen to, she has a wonderful stage presence, knows how act and use the stage to her full advantage. She draws the audience in with her emotions and clear and dynamic voice and keeps them captivated and on the edge of their seats. This is a journey you've only just started. Suggestions? "Je t'aime", "Je suis malade", "Caruso", "Perdere L'amore", "Tango", "Comme Ils Disent" just to name a few. She's magic in the flesh.
Well, this 'unknown' has a billion+ total hits on RUclips. (lol)
No, you won't lost that feeling. I still cry every time I listen to her rendition of Je suis malade. And it's been about 300 times now...
She's an amazing vocalist and a mentor for Dimash who also sang this song. She expresses emotion so easily, it oozes from her pores.
She is one of the best singers in the world today!. I haven had the privilege to listen to her for a while now. She is stunning!
I do enjoy to see your expression. Welcome to the world of Lara Fabian.
She is mesmerizing isn't she? She is a musical beast....with control❤ Oh, trust me you will have that feeling many times as you discover each new song. She takes each note She sings and makes it her own. She could sing the alphabet and make it magical. The greatest female artist if our time. As you discover more of her you will be so amazed ❤ Lara is greatness ❤❤❤
Lara Fabian is just amazing!! So manny thinks to say about her! Please allways listen Lara live ,she is one off the few that you have to hear her live!! She created the words for Adagio , composer an italian for the melody , Manny so manny covered Adagio ,but she was the creater, Dimash is one off them. Lara also worked with Igor Krutoy first then Dimash! Listen Mademoiselle Hyde ( Lara Fabian ,composer Ygor Krutoy), Allways , Growing Wings, Caruso , Je t' aime live in Paris etc so manny 🥰🥰🥲
Your reaction was really precious... This is Lara's song... it is not a cover... Lara is often compared to great artists, but she's totally in a class of her own... totally superior. I am sure you will agree once you listen to some of her other 'paintings'. She is addictive. You never get enough of her voice. You always want to come back for some more. Do not be disappointed that the first experience with the song was over. You can watch Lara's live videos over and over many times and you will still shed tears. She's the best remedy for a joyful eye wash. By the way, ADAGIO is an Italian word meaning 'slowly' or 'at ease'... Lara's initial writing of the song is in Italian. The word is spelled the same way in both languages but the Italian pronunciation is without the 'i', 'ADAGO' just as Lara pronounces it in the English version. To me ADAGIO here is a metaphor representing the name of LARA's prince charming that she dreams about and aspires to find, unceasingly urging him to respond to her heart desires and promptly commit to stay forever in her loving arms. Beautiful yet frustrating because this prince charming is none other than slow moving 'ADAGIO'! Lara is a genius. I don't know how anyone can escape the magic of her voice and the beauty of her heart!
Great reaction, the last part has the same effect on everyone, but your growing smile is priceless 😁
Don't be disappointed because even knowing the song, you'll be caught every time!
And the lucky thing for you is that there are many more songs to discover.
Many people will recommend "Je suis malade" from the same concert : Lara with Love (with English subtitles for the full experience) and they are right, it will again blow your mind.
You have to prepare yourself for this one 😉
True. In my life there was a before and after the first listening of her 99's rendition. It was a big shock
The good news is you get to experience so many more of her amazing performances. 😄
So glad you finally discovered Lara for yourself, she is indeed phenomenal and very very special. I have been listening to this song for years, and the effect does not fade off, once you hear her sing, she stays with you for the rest of your life, that's how I feel. The music may sound familiar in case you have watched The Assassination of Gianni Versace, Adagio in G Minor. The lyrics to this beautiful music were written by Lara. I have seen her live, an unforgettable experience. Thank you for your reaction to Lara, looking forward to more! Peace)
Fantastic reaction, the rabbit hole that is Lara is a wonderful trip. She also can sing in 11 languages.
I knew you would appreciate the greatest female voice on planet Earth, Lara Fabian! You have impeccable taste to say the least. More please. Songs like Caruso. Je suis malade. You're not from here. And the song She Wrote. Broken Vow. Always looking forward to your next reaction, especially when it comes to the best of the best. Even if it's on your own time you must try David Phelps. His most reacted to live videos. Songs Like Never Walk Alone. No More Night. Nessun Dorma. Mio Bambino Caro. Oh Holy Night. Your love. The dream. And many more his daughter Beth Phelps does the song called. My child. You might enjoy that also. Until next time, stay well and popping for fresh!
Don't worry. You'll discover something new in her voice and performace everytime you hear it. It's like a symphony - endless details. All the best from Copenhagen, Adam
Fantastica, Lara Fabian emozionante come sempre.
:Lara the most gorgeous female voice I've ever heard, in my opinion. And her technique and emotional delivery is unmatched. Please listen to Caruso, and everything else.
Lara Fabian is a flawless performer! You MUST listen to “Je Suis Malade” and “Caruso.” And please, PLEASE, don’t just listen. WATCH her perform. She puts all of herself into the performance.
Lara wrote this song! Listen to: Caruso.( in italian)..... Je suis malade(in french).......Broken Vow
You have been missing out!! She’s incredible!! You MUST see her sing Je Suis Malade from the same concert, You Are Not From Here. Just to name a few ❤❤❤
Adagio was composed by Albinoni, possibly as part of his Op. 4 set, around 1708. Lara wrote the lyrics !
I really enjoyed your reaction. She is one of the best singers in the world. Amazing, technical control. She is known as 'The Ring' and has the ability to 'fuse' the antagonistic muscle groups in her throat which creates a thin/thick tone without any break (if that makes any sense). Watch her Je Suis Malade performance from her Lara with Love concert; one of the best live performances of all time.
The whole concert is amazing, but Broken Vow will always be my favorite!
You've listened to Dimash cover Lara. He is a huge fan of hers...
you should experiment hearing her once again for the first time with songs like " Broken vow" " je suis malade" "you are not from here " "Caruso " and more. you will see how amazing she is.
Listen to Lara fabian tango live 2002. Enjoy. With love from belgium.
I believe you will enjoy your Lara Fabian journey. "Perderé l'Amore" live. Also "I Guess I Loved You " also live . Anything from the Lara with Love concert. There are so many great songs from her.
She is stunning!
I’m with you here. I had loosing the first time experience of Lara Fabian.
Having said that; I was so upset that I only found her 5 years ago. Became an instant mega fan and had to seek out every thing going back to 1988. She’s a vocal phenomenon. You’ll see!!
Half way through I was thinking "this would be a cool cruise ship show" and then she amped it up.
my favorite is "You're not from here"
Queen Lara
Lara is not only a varied and dynamic performer, she sings in multiple languages and is just a dream in live performances. Thanks for reacting to this. If you ever do another one of her songs, I'd suggest Je suis malade. Sorry, I'm not French 😄
Your first reaction to the best. Worked with Maestro Igor Krutoy for many years, idolised by Dimash since his childhood and through Igor got to sing with her and Aida Garifullina on the song Ti amo cosi. Dimash has covered many of her songs, including this one on the Singer, and she also wrote the lyrics for him for the song Your Love composed by Igor premiered at the Kremlin Palace, and she's adored by millions worldwide. She's so captivating.
She is HER !
Check out Broken Vow
Somewhat surprised you haven't experienced Lara until now. Checkout je suis malade, je taime, or anything she does. She is the definition of performance art.
She is amazing
Love Lara 💖
Love from Denmark 💖
Also listen to her live version of "You are not from here" from the same concert. And "Jesuis Malade"
She is born in belgium i love her soooo much😘😘
Man, you have to listen to her live performance of "Broken Vow" and "Quedate"(spanish).
The dynamic, the lows, the highs, the interpretation of the melody, the air sustain... sings in more than 10 languages, the love for the music. You can see easily all the influence that she had on Dimash formation as a singer.
You must do Je Suis Malade (but you probably want the version with subtitles, unless you're fluent in French), Caruso (again, with subtitles, unless you're fluent in Italian) and Broken Vow. Lara is not only an amazing singer, but she is also a polyglot and speaks about 6 different languages.
I've never seen you as enthused as in in the second Part of the video before! NOW you know Lara Fabian Quote Phil Collins: "The best Voice on earth!"
Je suis malade please, dimash doesnt name a ton of his influences, but in numerous interviews speaks adoration for lara. He has sang with her and has covered this song that you have reviewed and thats probably why it sounds familiar but couldnt place it
I love her song; Caruso It is stunning
She’s one of the best singers of all time if not THE BEST. she’s a great vocalist, an amazing storyteller… a true artist better say. You mentioned Celine Dion, well… that’s everyone when it comes to listening to Lara Fabian, they think about Celine and that’s because of how much they sound alike and tbh the conflict between their fans never ends. 😅
I highly suggest you to react to Lara’s performances of:
- Je suis malade
- Je T’aime
- Caruso
- Broken Vow
- You’re not from here
Other than the natural French lilt, their voices are quite different. Céline has a more nasal tone and is sharper in her higher notes. Lara is a round, rich tone.
@@pacscanadadatabaseservices3711 My bad, I was about to say “Their style of singing and the drama of their performances “ but actually they do sound alike at some cases.. don’t forget that early Celine wasn’t nasally
"if not THE BEST."
Do you think she would agree with you? Jeez...
@@AuspTheAwesome I don’t care if anyone agrees or not, It’s just my opinion.. deal with it
She is phenomenal. You need to listen to her sing Broken Vow and Je Suis Malade
O,K, you finally found the best. For all the suggested songs, try to find live performances; the entire From Lara with Love concert is flawless.
Yes indeed, FLWL is a hell of a concert, on par with her En toute intimité concert in 2003. FLWL has full 100 musicians orchestra and ETI just a piano and a few chords. I even sighlty prefer ETI as it lets shine Lara’s voice better
She is so much better than Celine. Just keep listening - she will wow you again and again. Thanks!!!
Albinoni’s Adagio in G Minor is an instrumental, the Doors did a cover,
Have you seen the movie, Rollerball, the main character played it while watching home movies of his deceased wife,
You hear it all over the place.
Incredible performance. Please react to Caruso (in Italian), Je Suis malade (in French) both with subtitles. Broken vow and You’re not from here all from the same concert and all mind blowing
If you would like to hear her for the 1st time again, I might suggest the following songs that are a small example of her brilliance and charisma.....
"Je Suis Malade"....."Caruso"....."Tango".....and her tribute to Barbra Streisand "Yentl Medley".... live at Center Molson in Montreal in 1997, with Ms. Streisand in attendance....absolutely brilliant. You can find the first three suggestions all from live performances which is the only way to listen to Lara as well as the chance to see what a spectacular live performer she is. One more suggestion, if I may....never never cut one of her videos off...let it run to the last note as it will give you insight into her commitment to her music as well as her audience buying into her performance.
Personal Note:
Having seen both Lara Fabian and Celine Dion in concert....Celine is not on the same level as Lara...(my opinion only)
Welcome to the world of Lara Fabian...perhaps the greatest female singers of the last 50 years.
Enjoy....
Caruso and Broken Vow!
Check out "Je suis malade” I like it even more than this one!
Elle chante dans plusieurs langues adagio en anglais ,ecoute JE SUIS MALADE en français, PERDER L AMORE en italien c est magnifique contente que cela te plaise 🥰👍
Try her live performance of You're not from here, to see her amazing breath control
I absolutely love Lara!
"Je suis malade" next from the same concert, and then "Caruso" and "Broken vow"!!
Wow 🥰 beautiful song from an amazing performer 🤩 please react to perdere l'amore from the same concert 🤩
"Stank face" was on point 😂
Great reaction. Lara Fabian is masterclass and beyond. I'm in a Lara Fabian loop from hell and I love it. For me she has the most beautiful voice on the planet that speaks straight to your heart. By the way..Who is Celine Dion?😉
One of her composition is: Broken Vow
Try listening this sont to not cry! Impossible! 😢😢😢
Did anyone tell you that the word "Adagio" is not a person's name, it means 'slowly'? It is an old composition "Adagio in G Minor' so, the title. You already know that Lara wrote the lyrics. I know, this is old news - I just had to share.
Cheers.
Dude you have no idea. To me, second only to Whitney with her live versions. It’s the delivery and just becoming the song. Vocally flawless. She is a contemporary of Celine and when she was going to make in the US, Celine’s team made sure, not sure how, that Lara does not get known because it would have taken away from Celine’s trajectory. So sad because there’s always room for many incredible singers. She’s Belgian/Italian/Canadian. Listen to Je Suis Malade I think from the same concert and Caruso, both live.
More Lara❤ Je suis malade (with subtitles), same concert .
Lots more songs to go, MRLBoyd!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen you quite this expressive with excitement before. Not even with the rap, which I believe is your bread and butter! Just fantastic! Ha ha. Yes, this is one of her best performances, ever and songs, and don’t worry about never experiencing it for the first time again. It never gets old. This performance will always hit you pretty much the same way.
Welcome to the Lara effect.
