“Je suis Malade” 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 compose 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. They became good friends. Lara has made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power and Serge Lama adopted these in his later interpretations. 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.
Welcome to the World of LARA FABIAN. The best Female singer ever in My book, Hands down. Celine WHO ?? BAH! LARA has Innspired so many like a Dimash. Just watch her concert, From Lara with Love, Every song is amazing. Also, TANGO, such a sexy song, the way she does it. Amazing!! Enjoy the Journey
She was born in Belgium, her mother was Italian and she lived there a few years and currently lives in Canada and has for quite awhile. She is fluent in many languages.
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), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ 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.
@EricSicard, how are you? You have to let me know how you are finding new reactions to our Lara Fabian.👍🏼Because sometimes I spend a lot of time watching these reactions, you got to tell me what kind of filter you use. Have a great weekend!✌️🏼
@@brasilguy74 i just use two simple filters “Lara Fabian reaction” and “Lara fabian” (for non english reactors mainly) and I sort the reaponses with the most recent first. A guy Is polluting these lookups with crazy shorts with “ respect” in the title so I filter out these using the “-respect” keyword. For instance “Lara Fabian reaction -respect”
She didn’t write this one, this is a cover, but she wrote a masterpiece in English on the same subject. It’s called Broken Vow and it was covered by Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Morissette Amon, …
indeed correct...Serge's version doesn't, for me , make a lot sense as it is usually the woman who gets crushed. Lara's version is by far the best....absolutely amazing.
You can now see why Dimash holds Lara in such high regard, they both put their heart and soul into their performances. For a real treat check out Dimash singing with Lara and along with Aida Garafullina with Tia Amo Cosi. Enjoy !
Greetings from Hungary! Lara Fabian is a legend in Europe.. Her mother is Italian,, (perhaps hence the passion) It's interesting that you mentioned Dimash, as Lara is one of the role models of Fabian Dimash,, Dimash fans have been putting together videos where they sing for a very long time, until they finally managed to sing together,,, In fact, Lara wrote the lyrics for the song Dimash's Your Love.. Both artists live for music and ,,, are passionate, charismatic performers
That's great performance. What a performer, what a great lady. In his great performances, his ADAGIO LIVE, CARUSO, LOVE BY GRACE AT JUNO AWARDS, PERDERE L'AMORE, YOU'RE NOT FROM HERE, JE T'AIME LIVE PARIS 2001, and the performance of the decade, REQUIEM POUR UN FOU with the rocker Johnny Halliday. You have something to enjoy. Thank you from Montreal.
Lara Fabian is Italian. She was born in Belgium Spent some years growing up with her Grandmother in Sicily, and now lives in Canada. The name of the song is "I'm Sick" !
The song was written by Serve Lama in 1973 while he was going through a bad break up. A female colleague of his ,suggested that he should write his feelings down and that she would write the melody for it. And that is how we got viscerally beautiful song.
Here is a short list of suggestions to start a journey with Lara: Songs she wrote: • Adagio (english version) : ruclips.net/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/видео.html (covered among others by Dimash, Floor Jansen, Dame Shirley Bassey, Il Divo) • You are not from here (english): ruclips.net/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/видео.html • Broken Vow (english): ruclips.net/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/видео.html (covered by Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Morissette Amon, Katrina Velarde, Regine Velasquez, Cakra Khan, ….) • I guess I loved you (english): ruclips.net/video/EwI-HIfSyqU/видео.html • Je t'aime (french): ruclips.net/video/l826rlBOn9w/видео.html (covered by Polina Gagarina, Giula Falcone, …) • I am A-WA (english): ruclips.net/video/mKLdLox918A/видео.html When she covers a song, she often makes it her own. Some amazing covers she made: • Je suis malade (french, song from Serge Lama): ruclips.net/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/видео.html • Caruso (italian, song from Lucio Dalla): ruclips.net/video/BP2KnLemT78/видео.html • Perdere L'Amore (italian, song from Massimo Ranieri): ruclips.net/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/видео.html • Yentl Medley (Papa can you hear me + A piece of sky, chained , cover of her idol Barbra Streisand, english): ruclips.net/video/zW8lalHMwxk/видео.html • I will always love you (cover of Dolly Parton / Whitney Houston, english): ruclips.net/video/4f-wx-ue89U/видео.html • Love by grace (cover of Wynona Judd): ruclips.net/video/8V0pGXZxxzE/видео.html • Calling You (cover of Jevetta Steele): ruclips.net/video/KkfXEb_VyLM/видео.html
Any performances from her From Lara With Love concert are all fire and so is her performance with Johnny Hallyday of Requiem Pour Un Fou under the rain is also superb.
Great reaction. Lara Fabian is masterclass and beyond. So incredible good i hade to take a flight to Tallin last year to se her concert. She is 53 years young today and still going strong.
It's a cover of a French song from the 70's. It's quite an old fashioned song. The style is more relevant to French popular music than what you would hear today if you listen to French music. Not just the the fact the song is sung in French, but it's a song that is build around the delivery of the lyrics, with some moments that are almost spoken rather than sung. Of course Lara Fabian takes it to another dimension.
Thank you for reacting to this, and yes, you should react to many of her masterpieces. And make sure that you react to her live performances. You won’t regret it. Her live performances are genuinely soul-touching, and she should be studied by anybody striving to be an Exquisite Singer, performer, singer-songwriter, and so on. Lastly, she is a beautiful human being and a role model for a new generation of artists like Dimash and others. Thanks again! #LaraFabian 💛💚💙🇧🇷
Lara is THE queen. Each of his songs and interpretations are diamonds. If you don't know it, take the time to listen to other titles. Lara is incomparable, I love her so much
A master class in vocal artistry ! Lara is a classic diva and is up there with the very best female vocalists ! Everyone in Canada knows about Celine but I think Lara who is not as well known in Canada is an absolutely vocally dynamic singer ! Dimash loves her and is one of his favourite singers bar none ! Lara is a master story teller and she gives her heart and soul in every performance ! Thank you for introducing your audience to another great artist and we are so grateful that she lives in our country ! If you get a chance to see her perform make sure you don't miss her! She is phenomenally brilliant and a must see concert ! Keep posting my friend much appreciated ! 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️
Great reaction to such an amazing performance! She is incredible and sings with so much emotion and passion! I recommend that you react to You're not from here, Broken Vow, Caruso, Adagio and Perdere l'amore. They are all so amazing! Greetings from London 😀
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane! "Adagio" --> ruclips.net/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/видео.html "You're not from here" --> ruclips.net/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/видео.html "Perdere l'Amore" in Italian --> ruclips.net/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/видео.html "Caruso" --> ruclips.net/video/BP2KnLemT78/видео.html "Quédate" in Spanish --> ruclips.net/video/cX0CPdBV75E/видео.html
To my ears, Lara's voice kept getting fuller and sweeter over the years. She became very well known in Quebec in the early 90s, but it is really later in the same decade that I felt she became truly exceptional. I did not care much for her early stuff. As recall, early on people wanted to compare her to Celine. I think Lara's voice, as the years passed, became much more pleasant and appealing than Celine's. I believe this was in 1999 and she looked s t u n n i n g. Your parents are from Îles de la Madeleine? Too bad you don't understand French. I'm not a big fan of the subtitles for this one. They're not wrong, but the imagery is kind of hard to translate effectively.
Wow! I have to say this was about the best Lara Fabian reaction I've seen. And I've seen plenty, after I exhausted my own capacity to replicate the hundreds of reruns I did just on this one song...
Watching this concert (especially this, Adagio, Broken Vow, and Caruso) is like watching the saddest telenovela or soap opera ever. Her expressions, man. Yeliel and Quedate is great too. And Caruso. I recommend you to watch those, too.
this song is a cover Serge Lama made this song popular BUT Lara makes it like it is her own song.That shows the mastering of her performing talent. My favorite performer.. such an emotional singer
Thank you for your wonderful performance! I knew about Lara after I started listening to Dimash. It's interesting that you compared the two. I heard that Dimash idolizes Lara. They worked together on several occasions. Lara wrote lyrics for one of Dimash's original songs (music by Igor Krutoy), Your Love. Hope you check that one out next. Lara, Dimash and Aida also sang Ti Amo Cosi by Igor Krutoy together.
It’s interesting that we learned of so many wonderful artists through Dimash. I knew Lara, but I didn’t know Aida. Also, all the Chinese artists he worked with were wonderful too.
This song was popularised by Serge Lama from France.Lara did a stelar performance of this song.She masters the songs she performs, wether her own songs or some cover songs . She is my favorite performer.People relate to what she performs she becomes part of the songs. great performance
Thank you Jess for doing my request. You already know I am a huge Angelina fan, Aurora as well but right up there with any of the best vocalists on this planet is Lara Fabian, bar none. I appreciate this wonderful reaction Jess, and will undoubtedly be putting some more Lara in my requests.. There is a comment below that mentions Lara's "Broken Vow" which is an absolutely mesmerizing song and performance, almost like this one here. Shall send you links. Cheers, hope your feeling better and stay well.
Celine Dion's management actively campaigned against her with the US radio stations to keep her of the air. Which is such a shame because she's up there on the mount rushmore
This song is a cover of an Egyptian franc singer name ( Dalida) you have to see her she sang it before she took her life RIP she had a really powerful voice
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........
Please do a reaction to the song "Your Love" by Dimash. The lyrics were written by Lara Fabian & music by Igor Krutoy. They collaborated this for Dimash. Thank you.
First time watching you. Great job. Loved your excellent reaction. Lara is Master Class. Check out her live versions of Adagio and You´re Not From Here.
Lara was/is a EuroPop Rock Star who is fluent in English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish & has the ability to communicate in 3 other languages fairly well. She sings in 9 languages total. She has a friend “Gabriel Henrique” from Brazil: Gabriel has a RUclips channel loaded with covers of the most Iconic Pop Diva’s Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Michal Jackson, and more. I’m sure you would really enjoy & he would appreciate the exposure. ✌🏼
I also think the part where Lara's talking about hearing her voice on the radio is the turning point of the song. In that moment in the story, she's having the realization that she can sing about this situation that's hurting her all she wants but, if she doesn't change something, she's going to live and eventually die still stuck in this situation, probably still listening to herself sing the same song over and over, like an idiot. It's after that point that her delivery of "je suis malade" changes from the early song's "I'm sick, I'm nothing when you're not with me, I only exist at your whim" to the post-turn's "I'm sick of being sick. Do you hear me? I'm sick of it!" The song is heartbreaking, but I always feel like it's a song where she hits rock bottom 2/3 of the way, has her epiphany, and then finds her power to finally speak up (and stand up) for herself. For me, the song ends on a hopeful note for the protagonist.
Bonjour de France. Si vous ne l'avez pas encore vu, je vous recommande "requiem pour un fou", en duo avec notre Johnny Hallyday national. Ils sont incroyables. 😊
Dimash has stated the Lara have been his muse since he was a child. Lara has also influenced other younger singers. She is often mentioned in the same breath as Celine, Whitney & Mariah. She should have been a big star in the U.S....this is covered in a YT video Vocal Trinity - the 4th voice - Lara Fabian ruclips.net/video/TyB6vXDdZBY/видео.html Lara has covered I Will Always Love You (Whitney Houston - dare I say it Lara did it better!), Vision of Love (Mariah), Close to You (Karen Carpenter) and many more... Enjoy your journey! To be honest I heard of Lara Fabian a few years ago but never listened to her music until last week ago!
Her father is from Belgium and her mother is italian. She did move to Québec. She did live a love story that almost broke her.
“Je suis Malade” 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, …).

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.

Lara has made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power and Serge Lama adopted these in his later interpretations.
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.
Welcome to the World of LARA FABIAN. The best Female singer ever in My book, Hands down. Celine WHO ?? BAH! LARA has Innspired so many like a Dimash. Just watch her concert, From Lara with Love, Every song is amazing. Also, TANGO, such a sexy song, the way she does it. Amazing!! Enjoy the Journey
Слажем се са тобом потпуно!
She was born in Belgium, her mother was Italian and she lived there a few years and currently lives in Canada and has for quite awhile. She is fluent in many languages.
Caruso, Adagio, Broken Vow, Perdere L'amore... all from the same concert... all legendary performances.
If you look at the ending, look how long it takes her to come out of the song, she's that invested. She's truly one-of-a-kind.
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.

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),

○ 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),
○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow),
○ 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.

You need to check out Caruso by Lara
She didn’t write this one, this is a cover, but she wrote a masterpiece in English on the same subject. It’s called Broken Vow and it was covered by Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Morissette Amon, …
Bjr Éric. Tjrs à l'affût je vois. Encore quelqu'un qui a ouvert la boîte de pandore... Lol
C'est bien, il faut éduquer ces nouveaux fans.
Bonsoir Monsieur, merci et bravo d'être encore intervenu sur cette vidéo
indeed correct...Serge's version doesn't, for me , make a lot sense as it is usually the woman who gets crushed. Lara's version is by far the best....absolutely amazing.
She sings like another great Belgian.
Jaques Brell
Another recommendation ❤
You can now see why Dimash holds Lara in such high regard, they both put their heart and soul into their performances. For a real treat check out Dimash singing with Lara and along with Aida Garafullina with Tia Amo Cosi. Enjoy !
Greetings from Hungary! Lara Fabian is a legend in Europe.. Her mother is Italian,, (perhaps hence the passion) It's interesting that you mentioned Dimash, as Lara is one of the role models of Fabian Dimash,, Dimash fans have been putting together videos where they sing for a very long time, until they finally managed to sing together,,, In fact, Lara wrote the lyrics for the song Dimash's Your Love.. Both artists live for music and ,,, are passionate, charismatic performers
Excellent reaction. 🎶
That's great performance. What a performer, what a great lady. In his great performances, his ADAGIO LIVE, CARUSO, LOVE BY GRACE AT JUNO AWARDS, PERDERE L'AMORE, YOU'RE NOT FROM HERE, JE T'AIME LIVE PARIS 2001, and the performance of the decade, REQUIEM POUR UN FOU with the rocker Johnny Halliday. You have something to enjoy. Thank you from Montreal.
Lara Fabian is Italian. She was born in Belgium Spent some years growing up with her Grandmother in Sicily, and now lives in Canada. The name of the song is "I'm Sick" !
The song was written by Serve Lama in 1973 while he was going through a bad break up. A female colleague of his ,suggested that he should write his feelings down and that she would write the melody for it. And that is how we got viscerally beautiful song.
Here is a short list of suggestions to start a journey with Lara:
Songs she wrote:
• Adagio (english version) : ruclips.net/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/видео.html (covered among others by Dimash, Floor Jansen, Dame Shirley Bassey, Il Divo)

• I am A-WA (english):
ruclips.net/video/mKLdLox918A/видео.html
When she covers a song, she often makes it her own.
Some amazing covers she made:
• Je suis malade (french, song from Serge Lama): ruclips.net/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/видео.html
• Caruso (italian, song from Lucio Dalla): ruclips.net/video/BP2KnLemT78/видео.html
• Perdere L'Amore (italian, song from Massimo Ranieri): ruclips.net/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/видео.html
• Yentl Medley (Papa can you hear me + A piece of sky, chained , cover of her idol Barbra Streisand, english): ruclips.net/video/zW8lalHMwxk/видео.html
• I will always love you (cover of Dolly Parton / Whitney Houston, english): ruclips.net/video/4f-wx-ue89U/видео.html
• Love by grace (cover of Wynona Judd):

• Calling You (cover of Jevetta Steele):
ruclips.net/video/KkfXEb_VyLM/видео.html
Any performances from her From Lara With Love concert are all fire and so is her performance with Johnny Hallyday of Requiem Pour Un Fou under the rain is also superb.
Great reaction. Lara Fabian is masterclass and beyond. So incredible good i hade to take a flight to Tallin last year to se her concert. She is 53 years young today and still going strong.
Lara is amazing greatings from Belgium
It's a cover of a French song from the 70's. It's quite an old fashioned song. The style is more relevant to French popular music than what you would hear today if you listen to French music. Not just the the fact the song is sung in French, but it's a song that is build around the delivery of the lyrics, with some moments that are almost spoken rather than sung. Of course Lara Fabian takes it to another dimension.
Loved your reaction! Lara is a beautifull artist! I hope you will react to more of her masterpieces! Caruso, Broken wow maybe Adaggio...
Great reaction mate . Lara is so worth getting to know know, You are Not From Here, Broken Vow, Caruso, perdere lamour , Theme From Yentl , Adagio
Glad for you to discover her...if you curious to hear her at her full range potentiel, you should listen ADAGIO live version..
You Will be stunned
Dimash idolizes Lara and she even wrote lyrics for a Dimash song called "Your Love".
And he did cover several songs from her as well
Thank you for reacting to this, and yes, you should react to many of her masterpieces. And make sure that you react to her live performances. You won’t regret it. Her live performances are genuinely soul-touching, and she should be studied by anybody striving to be an Exquisite Singer, performer, singer-songwriter, and so on. Lastly, she is a beautiful human being and a role model for a new generation of artists like Dimash and others. Thanks again! #LaraFabian 💛💚💙🇧🇷
Please react to Lara ' Adagio ' and Caruso.
Lara is THE queen. Each of his songs and interpretations are diamonds. If you don't know it, take the time to listen to other titles. Lara is incomparable, I love her so much
A well deserved standing ovation. She's one of my favorites.
Love Lara ❤
Love from Denmark ❤
She is phenomenal. You need to hear her sing Broken Vow, Caruso, Yentyl Medley and Adagio. You will be blown away
There are no words to express admiration and respect.
She is just a diva! And please allways listen to Lara live🥰🥰
La meilleure 👏👏🇫🇷🇫🇷
A master class in vocal artistry ! Lara is a classic diva and is up there with the very best female vocalists ! Everyone in Canada knows about Celine but I think Lara who is not as well known in Canada is an absolutely vocally dynamic singer ! Dimash loves her and is one of his favourite singers bar none ! Lara is a master story teller and she gives her heart and soul in every performance ! Thank you for introducing your audience to another great artist and we are so grateful that she lives in our country ! If you get a chance to see her perform make sure you don't miss her! She is phenomenally brilliant and a must see concert ! Keep posting my friend much appreciated ! 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️
Dimash said she is his idole .... you must listen adagio from lara fabian !!!
Great reaction to such an amazing performance! She is incredible and sings with so much emotion and passion! I recommend that you react to You're not from here, Broken Vow, Caruso, Adagio and Perdere l'amore. They are all so amazing!
Greetings from London 😀
Dimash has been a Lara fan since childhood and he named her amongst music influencers in his life.
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane!
"Adagio" --> ruclips.net/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/видео.html
"You're not from here" --> ruclips.net/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/видео.html
"Perdere l'Amore" in Italian --> ruclips.net/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/видео.html
"Caruso" --> ruclips.net/video/BP2KnLemT78/видео.html
"Quédate" in Spanish --> ruclips.net/video/cX0CPdBV75E/видео.html
To my ears, Lara's voice kept getting fuller and sweeter over the years. She became very well known in Quebec in the early 90s, but it is really later in the same decade that I felt she became truly exceptional. I did not care much for her early stuff. As recall, early on people wanted to compare her to Celine. I think Lara's voice, as the years passed, became much more pleasant and appealing than Celine's.
I believe this was in 1999 and she looked s t u n n i n g.
Your parents are from Îles de la Madeleine? Too bad you don't understand French. I'm not a big fan of the subtitles for this one. They're not wrong, but the imagery is kind of hard to translate effectively.
Wow! I have to say this was about the best Lara Fabian reaction I've seen. And I've seen plenty, after I exhausted my own capacity to replicate the hundreds of reruns I did just on this one song...
Watching this concert (especially this, Adagio, Broken Vow, and Caruso) is like watching the saddest telenovela or soap opera ever. Her expressions, man.
Yeliel and Quedate is great too. And Caruso. I recommend you to watch those, too.
You need to hear "Adagio", "Broken Vow" and "You're not from Here" from the same concert.
Well, this is hands down the most heartfelt reaction I've red about this emotional tsunami of a song.
this song is a cover Serge Lama made this song popular BUT Lara makes it like it is her own song.That shows the mastering of her performing talent. My favorite performer.. such an emotional singer
Thank you for your wonderful performance! I knew about Lara after I started listening to Dimash. It's interesting that you compared the two. I heard that Dimash idolizes Lara. They worked together on several occasions. Lara wrote lyrics for one of Dimash's original songs (music by Igor Krutoy), Your Love. Hope you check that one out next. Lara, Dimash and Aida also sang Ti Amo Cosi by Igor Krutoy together.
It’s interesting that we learned of so many wonderful artists through Dimash. I knew Lara, but I didn’t know Aida. Also, all the Chinese artists he worked with were wonderful too.
This song was popularised by Serge Lama from France.Lara did a stelar performance of this song.She masters the songs she performs, wether her own songs or some cover songs . She is my favorite performer.People relate to what she performs she becomes part of the songs. great performance
No-one sells a song quite like Lara!
Thank you Jess for doing my request. You already know I am a huge Angelina fan, Aurora as well but right up there with any of the best vocalists on this planet is Lara Fabian, bar none. I appreciate this wonderful reaction Jess, and will undoubtedly be putting some more Lara in my requests.. There is a comment below that mentions Lara's "Broken Vow" which is an absolutely mesmerizing song and performance, almost like this one here. Shall send you links. Cheers, hope your feeling better and stay well.
Fantastic singer! I really love her voice. I learned of her through Dimash. ❤️
Huge Lara fan...another great reaction thank you
Not sure why didn't get notification for this! But... That Whole Phrase! Acapella! Truly Masterful
Muy buena reacción, Lara es extraordinaria, es un ARTISTA así con mayúsculas, pocos artistas pueden transmitir tanto como ella.
Celine Dion's management actively campaigned against her with the US radio stations to keep her of the air. Which is such a shame because she's up there on the mount rushmore
Please stop degrading Celine - she didn’t do anything to you
This song is a cover of an Egyptian franc singer name ( Dalida) you have to see her she sang it before she took her life RIP she had a really powerful voice
Simplemente es genial su interpretación. Bravissimo
This woman THE OG
Goddess, point.
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........
Lara Fabian is one of Dimash's idol
Lara Fabian is a legend ❤
lovely, thanks for the reaction ❤
Lara gets ahold of you, pulls you in and won´t let go.
Please do a reaction to the song "Your Love" by Dimash. The lyrics were written by Lara Fabian & music by Igor Krutoy. They collaborated this for Dimash. Thank you.
She’s incredible!!! Just incredible. Interesting you clocked Dimash because she’s his idol.
First time watching you. Great job. Loved your excellent reaction. Lara is Master Class. Check out her live versions of Adagio and
You´re Not From Here.
This performance gives me goose bumps every single time!! Amazing!! (BTW, great hoodie! Blå kläder = blue clothes. The Swedish brand) 🤩
Lara was/is a EuroPop Rock Star who is fluent in English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish & has the ability to communicate in 3 other languages fairly well. She sings in 9 languages total. She has a friend “Gabriel Henrique” from Brazil: Gabriel has a RUclips channel loaded with covers of the most Iconic Pop Diva’s Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Michal Jackson, and more. I’m sure you would really enjoy & he would appreciate the exposure. ✌🏼
C est magnifique ,ecoute adagio en anglais c est une performance aussi ,perdre l AMORE en italien merci pour tes commentaires
This song is one of the most difficult and scary song to sing ! The creator is a french singer, Serge Lama !
D dimash have the same musical director, I love watching this video thank you .
Lara is one of Dimash’s mentors.
Dear BEL Dev: Dimash considers Lara Fabian to be a personal inspiration and role model for him both as a singe and performer.
I also think the part where Lara's talking about hearing her voice on the radio is the turning point of the song. In that moment in the story, she's having the realization that she can sing about this situation that's hurting her all she wants but, if she doesn't change something, she's going to live and eventually die still stuck in this situation, probably still listening to herself sing the same song over and over, like an idiot. It's after that point that her delivery of "je suis malade" changes from the early song's "I'm sick, I'm nothing when you're not with me, I only exist at your whim" to the post-turn's "I'm sick of being sick. Do you hear me? I'm sick of it!" The song is heartbreaking, but I always feel like it's a song where she hits rock bottom 2/3 of the way, has her epiphany, and then finds her power to finally speak up (and stand up) for herself. For me, the song ends on a hopeful note for the protagonist.
🇨🇦 Better than Celine !
And they both live on that other Island, Montreal ! LOL
That’s just your opinion others do not agree
Dimash admira mucho a. Lara Fabián de hecho cantaron juntos
Damn Lara ❤️
Malade means "sick" but also "devastated" depending on the context.
What!!!! Madelino you said?? I come from Rimouski, Canada..just near Madeleine's islands 😂😂
UNREAL!!! I’ll be getting married in Grosse-Ile!
The most sad song ever 😭😭 (Lara whrote the song "Your Love" for Dimash 🤩)
Dimash has actually covered many of Laura's songs and regards her as one of the best.
Adagio is Eric song and love like dream is Alla song , Lara fabian did covers for them as well
Bonjour de France.
Si vous ne l'avez pas encore vu, je vous recommande "requiem pour un fou", en duo avec notre Johnny Hallyday national.
Ils sont incroyables.
😊
It's someone else's song but she had just gone through a VERY hard break up, so she felt it like it's hers
Great ract, I think you can like Johnny hallyday with Lara Fabian "Requiem pour un fou" 1998.
2:10
Man, you really know what's good. Again, we have same reaction.
Hahaha it happens quick right? 😂 that’s 2 within a couple minutes
@@Beldvlmnt 😄
Lovesick.
Check out Dimash's song YOUR LOVE lyrics written by Lara Fabian for DIMASH ❤️🇬🇷
so you eventually made the Dimash-Lara connection in the last 6 months and Igor Krutoy
19 seconds !
But this is one of the few songs that she did not write !
Dimash has stated the Lara have been his muse since he was a child. Lara has also influenced other younger singers. She is often mentioned in the same breath as Celine, Whitney & Mariah. She should have been a big star in the U.S....this is covered in a YT video Vocal Trinity - the 4th voice - Lara Fabian ruclips.net/video/TyB6vXDdZBY/видео.html
Lara has covered I Will Always Love You (Whitney Houston - dare I say it Lara did it better!), Vision of Love (Mariah), Close to You (Karen Carpenter) and many more... Enjoy your journey! To be honest I heard of Lara Fabian a few years ago but never listened to her music until last week ago!
❤❤❤
❤
She Didn’t write this song. It is a song first sung by Serge Lama un 1973 !
Dimash was heavily influenced by Lara and, as you noted, it shows in his style of singing. And the last note was a little over 17 seconds long.
Nice and honest react. Please can u react perdere lamore and love by grace, both from this same show ?
Yep its a cover.. but what a cover. Thx Serge Lama
Try stromae 'l'enfer " and another french singer Lamé 'Bécane "
It is song of French singer Serge Lama.
Caruso also 👍
