@@roimerlopez1275 If you're going to go to such extraordinarily persistent lengths in recommending Lara Fabian's performances to others, I would strongly urge you to devote almost as much energy and effort to steering prospective "reactors/analysts" to the "proper", "correct" uploaded versions i.e., those specific vids more encompassing and complete in featuring the full breadth of this special performer's unique offerings. For example, here we are missing the almost equally emotional aftermath of events so movingly captured elsewhere
“Je suis Malade”, now a french classic, was written by famous French singer & songwriter Serge Lama together with composer/singer Alice Dona in 1973. This is based on his own experience and he was the original performer, hence some lyrics are a bit male-oriented (eg my mother leaves me, whiskies, I pour my blood in your body, …). When Serge Lama had a dinner with Alice Dona and told her about his obsessive love that was leading to a road block, she came back home and composed the music in a couple of hours. The morning after, she presented him the music and he wrote the lyrics in … 20 minutes. Serge Lama was the original performer in 1973, it started to be promoted on the radio, and the song was brought to fame only when, a few months after, Dalida covered it. She was an absolute mega star in France, another emotional powerhouse, and this song resonated very much with her own feelings. Her success with this song transformed it into a french classic, and started to make it famous abroad. But it is Lara Fabian that really made this song a very popular song in many countries with her cover in the mid 90s. At that time Dalida had already passed away, but Serge Lama was (and is) still alive. Dalida and Serge were two inspirations for Lara, so she sent an audio copy to Serge of her version. She was unknown at that time in France but he was so impressed with her vocal skills and her emotions rendering that he invited her in France to sing it as a duet during his own Paris concert in January 1995. It was a triumph. So he sat in a front row seat and asked her to sing it again alone. Lara also had made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power. Serge and Lara became good friends and performed several other duets later on. The 1999 version ("From Lara with Love" Concert in Montreal) ruclips.net/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/видео.html is legendary internationally and has attracted many artists to do a cover, even from non french-speaking countries. The most recent ones I am aware of are from italian singer Giulia Falcone, from the korean singer Choi Sung Hoon or from the korean band Forestella. Lara is used to perform the song very differently in each of her tour and for instance the En Toute Intimité, 2003, Paris Olympia version is even more dramatic ruclips.net/video/SyILdRAOS88/видео.html
@ I never said 1999. Serge Lama discovered her with this song but an earlier rendition in 1994 and he invited her to his concert at Palais des Congrès on January 1995. 2 year before she became known with Tout then Je t’aime in France.
Man, wait until you hear "Caruso" and "Perdere L'Amore" in Italian. It is exhilarating. And if you ever ever get a chance to see her perform live, leap at it. I did, I flew 1800 miles because when I heard that voice once there was no question of to go or not. Instant top of the musical bucket list. And it was one of the best choices I ever made, because even twenty-plus years after these videos, she is still magnificent. She'll rip your heart out in any language she chooses, yet can also fire up a crowd and get them moving on the uptempo songs. Greatest entertainer I have ever seen and likely will ever see on a stage in my life. She has no equal.
Lara is always 1000% better live than in her music videos or records. She needs an audience to connect to in order to give her emotional best. Would you be surprised that Lara has a classical operatic background for more than 10 years? In the music industry, her nickname is The Ring. Indeed she is the queen of resonance! She has many english gems she wrote, covered by the greatests, and given your classical heritage you should probably check her song Adagio next. A song based on Albinoni’s Adagio (she wrote the lyrics) that has been covered by Dimash. One of his covers as he is her absolute fan. She even wrote the lyrics of his song Your Love.
@@pepelegal1989 She most certainly does _not_ speak Portuguese, fluently or otherwise(Lara, herself will be the first to tell you) ... now, of course, she can be found to utter a word or two here and there which is only natural considering her background in the "Romance Languages" or commit to memory a song in a particular idiom upon special occasion
Lara Fabian is known for her powerful and emotional performances, exceptional vocal range, and stunning vocal control. One of the standout features of Lara Fabian's singing is her superb control of different registers. She effortlessly transitions from her chest voice to her head voice without any audible breaks. In fact, she is famous for blending her registers so seamlessly that it's often hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. Lara Fabian's singing style is characterized by long phrases, powerful belt notes and high-pitched controlled screams. Lara Fabian's performances are not just technically proficient, but emotionally powerful. She is an artist who is always fully immersed in the lyrics, music, and message of the song.
Of course she does, but Celine's team has done everything they could to prevent that from happening - and they succeeded in English speaking countries. Thankfully Francophones know her exceptional worth.
@MetteC5 yeah I know that story It's sad however I've reviewed most of the things she's done since then and it was great so in a way I'm glad they didn't manage to change her
No, they'd never manage to change her - she's much too strong for that -, they just managed to hide her from monocultural and very selectively 'multicultural' Anglophones. Thanks to RUclips she's now getting due recognition by many of those Anglophones and Celine's team must be fuming..
@@MetteC5 yeah all the recopilation channels and reaction channels did much needed justice to spread the word In my case I also have to thank Floor Jansen who covered Adagio and prompted me to go watch the original afterwards
The lyrics of the song were written in 20 minutes by Serge Lama who lived a secret love. This relationship ended with this woman leaving and talking about this separation that made him sick with Alice Donna, they "pond" the song in one night. This song was covered by Dalida and others, Lara really made it her song
Brilliant reaction to one of the best female singers in the world! She is my favourite and listen to her every day without fail! I recommend the following songs to react to. Adagio, You're not from here, Broken Vow, Caruso and Perdere l'amore. They are amazing like all her songs! Looking forward to your next reaction. Greetings from London 😀
Hi from France! Thank you for this reaction. Welcome to Lara's world. I hope you will take the time to listen to other titles, preferably live, you have plenty of choice and one thing is obvious : you will never be disappointed. Lara we love you 💗 (google traduction)
Welcome to the rabbit hole of Lara: she is THE one and only - stil performing, great as 25 years ago. Thanks for you recognition of her unicness. She is the best story teler ('method singing' 😉). And also: that is not acting - she truly lives the story.
There is only Lara Fabian! I hope you continue on your journey into her amazingly deep catalogue and indeed she is a true mistress of storytelling and pretty much unequalled in the "pop"genre. Her version of this from her En Toute Intimite concert (truly I believe her artistic pinnacle) along with Comme Il's Disent from the same concert blow me away every time I watch them which is frequently. I also just love her song Silence and echo everyone else on Love by Grace, Broken Vow, Adagio, You're Not from Here, and I Guess I Loved You......Thank you for this! Carry on and DIVE DEEP!
So glad you have discovered Lara Fabian! I discovered her when i was 16 years old when i moved to Europe from Canada (Hello fellow Canadian) and she has been my favorite singer since. I recently got to see her live in Ottawa this year and i can tell you, she is still THIS GOOD! she delivers every time and is BETTER Live than recorded! She has a large repertoire that you should dive into! Love your videos by the way! Cant wait for the next one! 🤩
This was a treat watching a trained pro hear Lara for the first time. TY. You are of course screwed now. You will shuffle through a chunk of her outstanding body of work pissed that you have been missing this. Soon, if not already, she will zoom to the top of your favorite female performance artists of the last 30 years. Guaranteed. Welcome to Lara's world, the Queen's world, long may she reign.
Well-done, but one suggestion. Rewatch the end of her performance, and watch her face when she's done. She is such a powerful performer, deeply entrenched in the emotion of the song. Just watch her as the audience applauds.
Yes!! I was hoping you would let it play out. Lara is fabulous and it's a real shame what happened to her in this business. Please read about it. My favorite song of hers is Adagio. I like you. Subbed, with notifications on.
When you see Lara live, you get more than what you get on an album. I saw her in June, and I only wish the concert could have been much, much longer! She is exquisite and her team is outstanding.
Wowowow ! What a brilliant, enlightening reaction ! The perfect mix betwwen emotional subjectivity and pure expertise... Try "Adagio" that she performed during the same concert : it gives a new meaning to the word "epic". Talking about comparisons : Dimash is circus, Lara Fabian is life. By the way, you have a new, enthusiastic subscriber ^^^

Excellent analysis and reaction. Can't wait for you to react to "Caruso", "Adagio" and "Perdere L'amore" from the very same concert. They are all master classes in passionate storytelling and total vocal control.
Great reaction ! I looked for a minute and didn't see it in the comments so : this is actually a cover from French singer Serge Lama (who wrote the lyrics after a heartbreak if I remember it right). This song is very famous in France. It's been covered by a few singers (most notably Dalida) but to me Lara's version is the best, she really conveys the emotions of the song perfectly
So thrilled that you have discovered Lara! Excellent reaction. Loved it. Adagio next? (She wrote that one, but not Je Suis Malade, although I can certainly understand why you would think she did!)
Another Classical guy here (composer) First. I have seen so many reactions to this and i absolutely love yours, and how you analyzed it. She is known as Lara "The Ring" Fabian. You said this is as good as the recorded version. No, as good as the live recordings are, she is WAY BETTER live as nothing is holding her back. As you said her intonation is flawless, she is a master storyteller and every note has intention just naturally. This concert in particular "From Lara with Love" is where you should do your reactions as it is recorded beautifully and she shines. The others from here this concert that you should honestly do are (in no particular order) Adagio, You are Not From Here, Broken Vow, Perdere L'amore and since you know Opera, she sings a non operatic song that was traditionally sung by Opera Tenors like Pavarotti, and she kills it, Caruso. Then be my guest and do everything else, but this is where you should start. Also it's a pity that the video ended where it did because she takes almost a whole minute to get out of that emotion she got herself into while everyone is giving her a standing ovation.
He hasn't got the right video for that ending. It's the video that ended there, not him ending it. But yeah, he's missing on her coming out of the songs emotions.
That was a great reaction. Lara brings emotion to every song she sings. Can I suggest to look at her from Lara with Love concert. There are many songs on there that you will enjoy but I would particularly suggest for you her performance of Caruso x
The composer is Serge Lama. Lara is an extraordinary singer and performer. If you like to hear Lara belting you should listen to the duet she performed with Johnny Halliday: Requiem pour un fou. Dimash loves Lara too!
Thank you for reaction to The Ring, Lara is a Queen, you need to listen to her interpretation of Caruso and also Adagio from the same concert, and for a treat je t'aime live in Paris 2001
Tellement vrai ! "on n'écrit plus de chansons comme celle-là" il n'y a plus de texte... Serge Lama a beaucoup souffert pour écrire cette chanson qui parle d'une période de sa vie.
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Increíble y hermosa obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e interprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe! Reacciona por favor a Caruso, Adagio, You're not from here, Broken vow, Love by Grace,To love again, Quédate,esto apenas es el principio! Gracias!
Αγαπητέ nick. Καλώς ήρθες στον μαγικό κόσμο της φωνής από άλλον πλανήτη όπως την αποκάλεσαν μεγάλοι μουσικοί στήν Αμερική. Είσαι μικρός έχεις τον χρόνο νά ταξιδέψεις μαζί της καί μαζί μας μέ την βασίλισσα μας. Θα μάθεις πολλά για την Λάρα από τον eric για την ζωή της . Χωρίς υπερβολή δεν υπάρχει καμία καί κανείς πού μπορεί νά συγκριθεί μαζί της. Θα με θυμηθείς. Η αντίδραση σου ήταν υπέροχη. Καλά ταξίδια μέ την θεά λαρα❤
Great reaction to the greatest voice of her generation. Lara is a masterclass vocalist..performer and storyteller. My nr one of female singers of all time. Thank you. Cheers from a finn in Sweden. Check out "Perdere la'more." Same concert. "From Lara with love"
Chills everytime. No wonder she was a huge inspiration to Dimash. They sing a song together (Ti amo cosi, also with Aida Garifulina). He was so starstrucked!! His dream came true.
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, Aretha, Shirley Bassey, 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 10,000+ 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 200+ songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music, and is at the source of the melodic line. • 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 and grand mother on father side is dutch, but she also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( the father of her mother is from Detroit). She had been raised in Sicilia first for 7 years then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages. She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory. She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today. She only moved away from opera to pop because she is first and foremost a songwriter. After her Eurovision participation in 1988 (4th), she really started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She had been living for years in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship. She moved to Sicilia end of 2022. She became very famous in Quebec in the early 90s with several double platine records 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 was number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US. This concert is legendary, packed with masterpieces (covered by many great vocalists later on). But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan. She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance. She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then. Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), Linda Eder, … 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 (singers from every region in the world: from China and Taiwan, to Philippines, Indonesia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Netherlands, Greece, Israel, Lebanon, Italy, France, Belgium, Norway, UK, USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Central Africa, …) ○ Floor Jansen (Adagio), ○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime), ○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie), ○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow), ○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace), ○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow), ○ Charice Penpengco (Adagio), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Dmitri Hvorostovsky (Adagio), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Gigi de Lana (Broken Vow) ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know), ○ Il Divo (Adagio) ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow) ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Pauline Aguirre (Adagio)), ○ George Peris (Broken Vow, Humana), ○ Vitas (Adagio), ○ Wanessa Camargo (Love by Grace), ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Jeck (Je T’Aime), ○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio), ○ Anne Sila (pas sans toi, Tu es mon autre), ○ The Canadian Tenors (Adagio), ○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio), ○ Sarah Naura Irbah (Mademoiselle Hyde), ○ Elisabetta Rinaldi (Adagio), ○ Alyona Yarushina (Adagio), ○ Marie Payet (Pas sans toi), ○ Laurh (Immortelle), ○ Inger Lise Hope (Adagio), ○ Håkon Sønsterud Tollefsrød (Broken Vow), ○ Flora Tandi (Bambina), ○ Cindy Chao (Yeliel My Angel), ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Abraham Mateo (Adagio), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Russel Watson (Adagio), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ Annointed (Love by Grace), ○ Sevara Nazarkhan (Je t’aime) ○ .... NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version. Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature. In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October 2022 and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular. On April, May, June 2023 she had again some wonderful concerts in Tbilissi, Georgia, then in Ouzbekhistan, Kazakhstan, Romania. She is about to release a new album and just completed another popular tour in eastern europe (Czech Republic, Moldavia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkiye, Hungary) and in Canada in april-june 2024. She also appeared as a guest in some big events such as Hauser’s concert in Royal Albert Hall (May 9th 2024). Then, after some rest and a few TV Shows, she will tour France in 2025. The first song of her new album (titled "Ta Peine" - Your Sorrow) was released late January 2024 and is a success in France. Her album is expected to be released in fall 2024. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
The first time I saw this performance it was on a reaction channel, and I did not have the benefit of subtitles. She still managed to have me in tears.
I seriously doubt that there are many _"reactors"_ *of sound mind* contemplating the notion that this song is about someone's struggle with an ailment solely physiological in nature. Quite absurd indeed would it be to have Lara up there singing her heart out only to later discover that she's relating a tale of surrender and defeat over sinusitis, a head cold, toothache or even a bout with the flu.
This is Lara Fabian once again. A singer with a very strong but always velvety voice in her 4.2 octave vocal range. ..Clear singing, endless breath control etc. ..A very strong sensitive velvety voice, liquid gold for the ear and dozens of other acclaims ... A voice that you can listen to all day long, whatever the lyrics and in any language . The Italian version of ""je suis malade " is ""sto male"" Lara writes, sings and recordes often lyricks in 2 or 3 different languages on her own compositions or on the songs she sings .
Honestly, I think that if this performance doesn't make you tear up a bit, no matter what type of music you like or who you are, you sorta need to check for a pulse. The thing about Lara to me has always been her unique ability to allow emotion to color her voice without letting it squeeze those vocal folds. I've written some sad songs, and I have to practice them so many times so I can perform them in public without falling victim to that. She displays SO much emotion and yet her voice remains perfect. Just amazing...
I'm from Germany and had to learn this song in my French studies. Until today i listen to this song (and to Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen) nearly every week.
Her father is Belgian, her mother is Italian so she speaks French, Italian and 5 more languages. At the time of the recording, 20 years ago, she had relation problems, so she projected them in her singing. And she can fill the stage on her own. No dancers or flashlight are required. All your attention is on her. The song is not written especially for her. You should also see "Je t'aime" when the crowd takes the lead and sings "on t'aime" we love you. It is worth seeing, unique. You stopped before the end, the you could see how deep she went into the emotions.
Pay attention to accuracy, no need to exaggerate!! LARA speaks 5 languages (Italian, French, English, Spanish, Portuguese and sings in 12 languages!!!) When she was in a bad mood, it was professional, personal and medical. Her dark thoughts also appeared, but her fans showed to Lara that she has something to live for!!! They are like that, I was/am too close to the events!
In my opinion Lara is one of the best female singers in the world. She knows how to convey her emotions to the audience. In the Netherlands we have a young singer who has the same gift: Emma Kok. Maybe you would like to react to her singing 'Voilà' with André Rieu, Maastricht 2023. She was only 15 years old at that time.
@nickhigsthesinger you need to watch the ending bro. the performance continues for at least 2 minutes after the singing stops. she went so deep that she had to recover from it, had to find herself back, and slowly she realized what she did, holds her hands for her mouth and stares at the audience. This is the best performance i have ever seen.
I agree. Quality videos embody a performance: musical notes, tones, words, and heart, meaning personal motivation and character. Folks running some Expert Channels often ignore their larger audience who are interested in experiencing the whole of the performance, while also enjoying what they're able to understand and learn about the basics of vocal technique. Ms. Fabian had to have been as internally focused on her own reactions to the emotions of the story as she was to familiar details of her well practiced technique. Great acting is living, not mimicking. Seems to me that's what makes Lara, Lara. Not repetitively going over this or that, but having confidence in her technique so that she can be emotionally true to the experiences within the story. This was strongly suggested by two clear POVs of her struggle to recover her demeanor after an emotionally wrenching experience meant to convey us to a privileged place. Only by seeing her then is this performance wholly satisfying. Nick got stuck in the weeds and missed, as experts sometimes do, this evidence of the character and motivation of an amazing artist.
alors, pour répondre à ta question, Lara Fabian interprète toujours ses chansons avec beaucoup de cœur et d’émotion, car c’est une femme qui a du vécu et qui le montre à cœur ouvert !! ❤
Lara's songs are rich and varied 15 records over 140 songs don't be content with her early live performances from the 2000s with these vocal performances Lara is much more than that some spectacular tracks "I an a Wa"ruclips.net/video/mKLdLox918A/видео.html "l'oubli"ruclips.net/video/3ob-a4tPNcg/видео.html "dance"ruclips.net/video/nHYi7rYD1yk/видео.html "par amour"ruclips.net/video/rjrTd8VeP64/видео.html "tango" ruclips.net/video/9p1UrKzYti0/видео.html "papillon"ruclips.net/video/dzWit_mevK0/видео.html and many more to discover.

She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane!

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Top Female vocaliste in the world, major star in Europe, speaks 4 languages, (Italian, French, English, Spanish) also partly Russian and Portugese. More than 30millions album sold world wide and almost unknown in the USA, i will let others explain her story, she is now 54 yo and just finished a world Tour in june 2024. You now have the Lara-virus, no vaccin, no medication, she sings from her soul to yours....best rabbit hole of RUclips
I am so glad you have found Lara Fabian! Not surprised that you were so impressed, though. She is amazing at expressing emotion and telling a story, as you explained in your reaction. Next? Maybe a comparison of Lara and Dimash singing Adagio? I wouldn't think choosing "the best" performance would be prudent, but your comparative analysis of technique and interpretation would be worth watching for many viewers, especially growing singers, I would think. Cheers! - Your old student, Bobby
I have seen this video of Lara maybe 50 times, but my heart is beating faster and heavier, and I´m on a verge of tears. This is just one phenomenal performance.
It’s interesting that you said “Maybe it’s her song that’s why she can portray that character perfectly” but it’s not actually her song! which makes her even more talented that she can make everyone feel like this song is hers! Lara is one of the most talented singers! one of the best singers for sure. The storytelling and the emotions she put into the songs is something only few artists can do. Please keep reacting to her.. I suggest her live version of (Je t’aime , Caruso , Adagio )
I thought you might mention how she stays in character even after the music has ended and it adds to the whole experience of her singing. I’ve seen her video many times, but even tonight, it still brought tears to my eyes.
The particular video upload that he chose to watch or happened upon among the various available was one that cuts off abruptly; almost immediately after Lara lets go of that final note.
this performance is the perfect example of emotional investment into a song by a singer. if you watch the original you'll see at the end how long it takes her to re emerge from the song from the last note, till she covers her mouth. what I like to call singing on the edge. next near to impossible to do, but when it works ... oh boy.
Some news from Lara: Lara Fabian was invited by Stjepan Hauser to sing Adagio and Caruso at Royal Albert Hall, accompanied by the London Philharmonie Orchestra on May 9th 2024: Hauser and Lara Fabian - Adagio and Caruso LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall ruclips.net/video/ikWpOJT4y9g/видео.htmlsi=-YnnPhnJHd_RchCF ruclips.net/video/n6cJq0Jjyy8/видео.htmlsi=pYvMQHj8o6c7jjD3 After Royal Albert Hall, Lara did a concert in an tiny hall (Le Bikini) on May 27th 2024. Lara Fabian at RFM Music Live (Toulouse, France) ruclips.net/video/Y61hG6BJHfg/видео.htmlsi=hXskPnNr4s3WYySi
What makes this song really emotional especially for Lara is this is pretty much a song she can seriously relate to as she went through something terrible in a relationship herself.
FYI- Lara Fabian’s father is Belgian and mother is Italian. I enjoyed your comments and will check out more of your reactions, but you need to go back and watch to the very end!

@@nickhiggsthesinger My pleasure!!!...My God Nick!!!...Definitely one of the best reactions I've seen to our Lara Fabian!!...Be careful if it's not the best!!!....Thanks Nick!!
@@roimerlopez1275 If you're going to go to such extraordinarily persistent lengths in recommending Lara Fabian's performances to others, I would strongly urge you to devote almost as much energy and effort to steering prospective "reactors/analysts" to the "proper", "correct" uploaded versions i.e., those specific vids more encompassing and complete in featuring the full breadth of this special performer's unique offerings. For example, here we are missing the almost equally emotional aftermath of events so movingly captured elsewhere
“Je suis Malade”, now a french classic, was written by famous French singer & songwriter Serge Lama together with composer/singer Alice Dona in 1973.
This is based on his own experience and he was the original performer, hence some lyrics are a bit male-oriented (eg my mother leaves me, whiskies, I pour my blood in your body, …).
When Serge Lama had a dinner with Alice Dona and told her about his obsessive love that was leading to a road block, she came back home and composed the music in a couple of hours.
The morning after, she presented him the music and he wrote the lyrics in … 20 minutes.
Serge Lama was the original performer in 1973, it started to be promoted on the radio, and the song was brought to fame only when, a few months after, Dalida covered it. She was an absolute mega star in France, another emotional powerhouse, and this song resonated very much with her own feelings. Her success with this song transformed it into a french classic, and started to make it famous abroad.
But it is Lara Fabian that really made this song a very popular song in many countries with her cover in the mid 90s.
At that time Dalida had already passed away, but Serge Lama was (and is) still alive. Dalida and Serge were two inspirations for Lara, so she sent an audio copy to Serge of her version.
She was unknown at that time in France but he was so impressed with her vocal skills and her emotions rendering that he invited her in France to sing it as a duet during his own Paris concert in January 1995. It was a triumph. So he sat in a front row seat and asked her to sing it again alone.
Lara also had made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power. Serge and Lara became good friends and performed several other duets later on.
The 1999 version ("From Lara with Love" Concert in Montreal)
ruclips.net/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/видео.html
is legendary internationally and has attracted many artists to do a cover, even from non french-speaking countries.
The most recent ones I am aware of are from italian singer Giulia Falcone, from the korean singer Choi Sung Hoon or from the korean band Forestella.
Lara is used to perform the song very differently in each of her tour and for instance the En Toute Intimité, 2003, Paris Olympia version is even more dramatic
ruclips.net/video/SyILdRAOS88/видео.html
Eriiiiiiiiic with the facts.
This is absolutely true and precise. Nice !
Oh désolé je n'avais pas vu votre message :)
@ I never said 1999.
Serge Lama discovered her with this song but an earlier rendition in 1994 and he invited her to his concert at Palais des Congrès on January 1995. 2 year before she became known with Tout then Je t’aime in France.
@ elle était déjà connue … au Québec 😃
Her Caruso is to die for
100%
For sure. This one always tears me up. Caruso, breaks me.
It really is. It's one of my all time favorite pieces of music to listen to.
Man, wait until you hear "Caruso" and "Perdere L'Amore" in Italian. It is exhilarating. And if you ever ever get a chance to see her perform live, leap at it. I did, I flew 1800 miles because when I heard that voice once there was no question of to go or not. Instant top of the musical bucket list. And it was one of the best choices I ever made, because even twenty-plus years after these videos, she is still magnificent. She'll rip your heart out in any language she chooses, yet can also fire up a crowd and get them moving on the uptempo songs. Greatest entertainer I have ever seen and likely will ever see on a stage in my life. She has no equal.
Lara is always 1000% better live than in her music videos or records.
She needs an audience to connect to in order to give her emotional best.
Would you be surprised that Lara has a classical operatic background for more than 10 years?
In the music industry, her nickname is The Ring.
Indeed she is the queen of resonance!
She has many english gems she wrote, covered by the greatests, and given your classical heritage you should probably check her song Adagio next.
A song based on Albinoni’s Adagio (she wrote the lyrics) that has been covered by Dimash. One of his covers as he is her absolute fan.
She even wrote the lyrics of his song Your Love.
She speaks fluent french, English, italian, spanish and flemish. She is classically trained.
And Portuguese, when she came to Brazil in the 2000 she sang her songs in portuguese, I love her!
And an excellent pianist!
And Russian...
@@pepelegal1989 She most certainly does _not_ speak Portuguese, fluently or otherwise(Lara, herself will be the first to tell you) ... now, of course, she can be found to utter a word or two here and there which is only natural considering her background in the "Romance Languages" or commit to memory a song in a particular idiom upon special occasion
Her conversational Spanish is rusty to say the least and re _'speaks fluent flemish'_ ? ...not hardly LOL
...don't believe me, ask her
Congrats! You have just met the absolute Queen Lara Fabian! 👸🏼 Her catalogue is immense and your journey has just begun!
Lara Fabian is known for her powerful and emotional performances, exceptional vocal range, and stunning vocal control.
One of the standout features of Lara Fabian's singing is her superb control of different registers. She effortlessly transitions from her chest voice to her head voice without any audible breaks. In fact, she is famous for blending her registers so seamlessly that it's often hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.
Lara Fabian's singing style is characterized by long phrases, powerful belt notes and high-pitched controlled screams.
Lara Fabian's performances are not just technically proficient, but emotionally powerful. She is an artist who is always fully immersed in the lyrics, music, and message of the song.
Lara fabian the queen ❤❤❤
Lara's just one of the greatest performers in the world. She is Dimash's inspiration and childhood idol.
Hate hate dimash. Don't understand his fandom.
@@Shuan-t1h Dimash is an amazing singer. I don't understand your hate for him
She's amazing, definitely deserves to be more recognized worldwide.
Of course she does, but Celine's team has done everything they could to prevent that from happening - and they succeeded in English speaking countries. Thankfully Francophones know her exceptional worth.
@MetteC5 yeah I know that story
It's sad however I've reviewed most of the things she's done since then and it was great so in a way I'm glad they didn't manage to change her
No, they'd never manage to change her - she's much too strong for that -, they just managed to hide her from monocultural and very selectively 'multicultural' Anglophones. Thanks to RUclips she's now getting due recognition by many of those Anglophones and Celine's team must be fuming..
@@MetteC5 yeah all the recopilation channels and reaction channels did much needed justice to spread the word
In my case I also have to thank Floor Jansen who covered Adagio and prompted me to go watch the original afterwards
@@damianvc31 absolutely!
Welcome to the Lara magic. She has the best of everything. Talent, voice, storytelling, tone, everything.
The lyrics of the song were written in 20 minutes by Serge Lama who lived a secret love. This relationship ended with this woman leaving and talking about this separation that made him sick with Alice Donna, they "pond" the song in one night.
This song was covered by Dalida and others, Lara really made it her song
Brilliant reaction to one of the best female singers in the world! She is my favourite and listen to her every day without fail! I recommend the following songs to react to. Adagio, You're not from here, Broken Vow, Caruso and Perdere l'amore. They are amazing like all her songs!
Looking forward to your next reaction.
Greetings from London 😀
Hi from France! Thank you for this reaction. Welcome to Lara's world. I hope you will take the time to listen to other titles, preferably live, you have plenty of choice and one thing is obvious : you will never be disappointed.
Lara we love you 💗 (google traduction)
She is a phenomenal. Don’t stop…you’ll never be sorry…..treat yourself and us to the rest of this concert….❣️
Welcome to the rabbit hole of Lara: she is THE one and only - stil performing, great as 25 years ago. Thanks for you recognition of her unicness. She is the best story teler ('method singing' 😉). And also: that is not acting - she truly lives the story.
There is only Lara Fabian! I hope you continue on your journey into her amazingly deep catalogue and indeed she is a true mistress of storytelling and pretty much unequalled in the "pop"genre. Her version of this from her En Toute Intimite concert (truly I believe her artistic pinnacle) along with Comme Il's Disent from the same concert blow me away every time I watch them which is frequently. I also just love her song Silence and echo everyone else on Love by Grace, Broken Vow, Adagio, You're Not from Here, and I Guess I Loved You......Thank you for this! Carry on and DIVE DEEP!
So glad you have discovered Lara Fabian! I discovered her when i was 16 years old when i moved to Europe from Canada (Hello fellow Canadian) and she has been my favorite singer since. I recently got to see her live in Ottawa this year and i can tell you, she is still THIS GOOD! she delivers every time and is BETTER Live than recorded! She has a large repertoire that you should dive into!
Love your videos by the way! Cant wait for the next one! 🤩
Wow, what a reaction. I learned a lot from you. and I'm 90 yrs. old...Thank you Nick....I love Lara. That's how I found your channel.
Wow. GREAT breakdown and analysis of this incredible performance. You have a new subscriber 🙂 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
This was a treat watching a trained pro hear Lara for the first time. TY. You are of course screwed now. You will shuffle through a chunk of her outstanding body of work pissed that you have been missing this. Soon, if not already, she will zoom to the top of your favorite female performance artists of the last 30 years. Guaranteed. Welcome to Lara's world, the Queen's world, long may she reign.
Well-done, but one suggestion. Rewatch the end of her performance, and watch her face when she's done. She is such a powerful performer, deeply entrenched in the emotion of the song. Just watch her as the audience applauds.
Not on this video, too short
Yes!! I was hoping you would let it play out. Lara is fabulous and it's a real shame what happened to her in this business. Please read about it. My favorite song of hers is Adagio. I like you. Subbed, with notifications on.
This copy ends right there. He'd have to dig up a different copy that didn't cut right away.
When she was young Lara studied opera at the Conservatory of Brussels. She is also an accomplshed piano player. Her voice is really resonant !
When you see Lara live, you get more than what you get on an album. I saw her in June, and I only wish the concert could have been much, much longer! She is exquisite and her team is outstanding.
Wowowow ! What a brilliant, enlightening reaction ! The perfect mix betwwen emotional subjectivity and pure expertise... Try "Adagio" that she performed during the same concert : it gives a new meaning to the word "epic". Talking about comparisons : Dimash is circus, Lara Fabian is life. By the way, you have a new, enthusiastic subscriber ^^^
Thank you for your reaction on Lara Fabian . Many have said if you want to learn to sing . she is the best teacher Just listen to her it''s enough . Thank you again to react to our Queen Madam Lara Fabian .
Thank you for the great reaction to Lara Fabian. She is one of the best female vocalist in the world.

@nick : it s the links and these songs are must listen! And Caruso is a good choice after Je suis malade
YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEES great list ❤
BROKEN WOW, Lara Fabian, thanks, i’m French. Mathias ❤❤
Excellent analysis and reaction. Can't wait for you to react to "Caruso", "Adagio" and "Perdere L'amore" from the very same concert. They are all master classes in passionate storytelling and total vocal control.
Great reaction !
I looked for a minute and didn't see it in the comments so : this is actually a cover from French singer Serge Lama (who wrote the lyrics after a heartbreak if I remember it right). This song is very famous in France. It's been covered by a few singers (most notably Dalida) but to me Lara's version is the best, she really conveys the emotions of the song perfectly
Lara❤
You have to listen to Adagio and Broken Vow from the same concert.
What a good and genuine reaction👌
So thrilled that you have discovered Lara! Excellent reaction. Loved it. Adagio next? (She wrote that one, but not Je Suis Malade, although I can certainly understand why you would think she did!)
Thanks for the great reactions that you do! Keep up the great work - you are going to go far!
Lara, the most beautiful voice in the world ❤❤
Another Classical guy here (composer)
First. I have seen so many reactions to this and i absolutely love yours, and how you analyzed it. She is known as Lara "The Ring" Fabian. You said this is as good as the recorded version. No, as good as the live recordings are, she is WAY BETTER live as nothing is holding her back. As you said her intonation is flawless, she is a master storyteller and every note has intention just naturally.
This concert in particular "From Lara with Love" is where you should do your reactions as it is recorded beautifully and she shines. The others from here this concert that you should honestly do are (in no particular order) Adagio, You are Not From Here, Broken Vow, Perdere L'amore and since you know Opera, she sings a non operatic song that was traditionally sung by Opera Tenors like Pavarotti, and she kills it, Caruso. Then be my guest and do everything else, but this is where you should start.
Also it's a pity that the video ended where it did because she takes almost a whole minute to get out of that emotion she got herself into while everyone is giving her a standing ovation.
If you watch till the end you see her taking time to come out of her song.
yep, best part by far, and this guy ends it early.......
He hasn't got the right video for that ending. It's the video that ended there, not him ending it. But yeah, he's missing on her coming out of the songs emotions.
Unfortunately he watched an other version. I checked his link and its not in this one. I thought the same thing.
Thank's for your react about our Queen Lara.... thank's à lot ❤❤❤
Good job! Next two Lara songs - Adagio and Caruso.
That was a great reaction. Lara brings emotion to every song she sings. Can I suggest to look at her from Lara with Love concert. There are many songs on there that you will enjoy but I would particularly suggest for you her performance of Caruso x
The composer is Serge Lama. Lara is an extraordinary singer and performer. If you like to hear Lara belting you should listen to the duet she performed with Johnny Halliday: Requiem pour un fou. Dimash loves Lara too!
Thank you for reaction to The Ring, Lara is a Queen, you need to listen to her interpretation of Caruso and also Adagio from the same concert, and for a treat je t'aime live in Paris 2001
The greatest female singer of the 21st century. SHE IS THE ONE AND ONLY QUEEN...OF THE STAGE!! !❤❤❤❤
this song was from the 20th century, just to be clear :)
Tellement vrai ! "on n'écrit plus de chansons comme celle-là" il n'y a plus de texte... Serge Lama a beaucoup souffert pour écrire cette chanson qui parle d'une période de sa vie.
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Increíble y hermosa obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e interprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe! Reacciona por favor a Caruso, Adagio, You're not from here, Broken vow, Love by Grace,To love again, Quédate,esto apenas es el principio! Gracias!
Αγαπητέ nick. Καλώς ήρθες στον μαγικό κόσμο της φωνής από άλλον πλανήτη όπως την αποκάλεσαν μεγάλοι μουσικοί στήν Αμερική. Είσαι μικρός έχεις τον χρόνο νά ταξιδέψεις μαζί της καί μαζί μας μέ την βασίλισσα μας. Θα μάθεις πολλά για την Λάρα από τον eric για την ζωή της . Χωρίς υπερβολή δεν υπάρχει καμία καί κανείς πού μπορεί νά συγκριθεί μαζί της. Θα με θυμηθείς. Η αντίδραση σου ήταν υπέροχη. Καλά ταξίδια μέ την θεά λαρα❤
Great reaction to the greatest voice of her generation. Lara is a masterclass vocalist..performer and storyteller. My nr one of female singers of all time. Thank you. Cheers from a finn in Sweden. Check out "Perdere la'more." Same concert. "From Lara with love"
Nothing more to Say ...its just perfect
Chills everytime. No wonder she was a huge inspiration to Dimash. They sing a song together (Ti amo cosi, also with Aida Garifulina). He was so starstrucked!! His dream came true.
I love how Nick's mouth's just drying because of the emotions Lara is transmitting ❤
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, Aretha, Shirley Bassey, 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 10,000+ 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 200+ songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music, and is at the source of the melodic line.
• 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 and grand mother on father side is dutch, but she also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( the father of her mother is from Detroit). She had been raised in Sicilia first for 7 years then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages.
She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory.
She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today. She only moved away from opera to pop because she is first and foremost a songwriter.
After her Eurovision participation in 1988 (4th), she really started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada.
She had been living for years in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship. She moved to Sicilia end of 2022.
She became very famous in Quebec in the early 90s with several double platine records 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 was number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US.
This concert is legendary, packed with masterpieces (covered by many great vocalists later on).
But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan.
She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance.
She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then.
Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), Linda Eder, …
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 (singers from every region in the world: from China and Taiwan, to Philippines, Indonesia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Netherlands, Greece, Israel, Lebanon, Italy, France, Belgium, Norway, UK, USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Central Africa, …)

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 2022 and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular.
On April, May, June 2023 she had again some wonderful concerts in Tbilissi, Georgia, then in Ouzbekhistan, Kazakhstan, Romania.
She is about to release a new album and just completed another popular tour in eastern europe (Czech Republic, Moldavia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkiye, Hungary) and in Canada in april-june 2024. She also appeared as a guest in some big events such as Hauser’s concert in Royal Albert Hall (May 9th 2024). Then, after some rest and a few TV Shows, she will tour France in 2025.
The first song of her new album (titled "Ta Peine" - Your Sorrow) was released late January 2024 and is a success in France. Her album is expected to be released in fall 2024.
Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
Merci Eric, tu est le meilleur
She is famously known as the Ring Lara, because her voice does ring! She is Dimash's idol since his youth.
The first time I saw this performance it was on a reaction channel, and I did not have the benefit of subtitles. She still managed to have me in tears.
Check out her live cover of Caruso
You are the first "reactor" that has understood that it's about being "heartsick", not ill.
I seriously doubt that there are many _"reactors"_ *of sound mind* contemplating the notion that this song is about someone's struggle with an ailment solely physiological in nature. Quite absurd indeed would it be to have Lara up there singing her heart out only to later discover that she's relating a tale of surrender and defeat over sinusitis, a head cold, toothache or even a bout with the flu.
This is Lara Fabian once again. A singer with a very strong but always velvety voice in her 4.2 octave vocal range. ..Clear singing, endless breath control etc. ..A very strong sensitive velvety voice, liquid gold for the ear and dozens of other acclaims ... A voice that you can listen to all day long, whatever the lyrics and in any language .
The Italian version of ""je suis malade " is ""sto male""
Lara writes, sings and recordes often lyricks in 2 or 3 different languages on her own compositions or on the songs she sings .
It's a cover actually. But she's the grand master of emotionally connecting with the lyrics
Merveilleuse Lara la plus grande des chanteuses. Merci pour ce qu'elle nous procure.
Honestly, I think that if this performance doesn't make you tear up a bit, no matter what type of music you like or who you are, you sorta need to check for a pulse. The thing about Lara to me has always been her unique ability to allow emotion to color her voice without letting it squeeze those vocal folds. I've written some sad songs, and I have to practice them so many times so I can perform them in public without falling victim to that. She displays SO much emotion and yet her voice remains perfect. Just amazing...
Adagio from the same concert
I'm from Germany and had to learn this song in my French studies. Until today i listen to this song (and to Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen) nearly every week.
Her father is Belgian, her mother is Italian so she speaks French, Italian and 5 more languages. At the time of the recording, 20 years ago, she had relation problems, so she projected them in her singing. And she can fill the stage on her own. No dancers or flashlight are required. All your attention is on her. The song is not written especially for her. You should also see "Je t'aime" when the crowd takes the lead and sings "on t'aime" we love you. It is worth seeing, unique.
You stopped before the end, the you could see how deep she went into the emotions.
Pay attention to accuracy, no need to exaggerate!! LARA speaks 5 languages (Italian, French, English, Spanish, Portuguese and sings in 12 languages!!!) When she was in a bad mood, it was professional, personal and medical. Her dark thoughts also appeared, but her fans showed to Lara that she has something to live for!!! They are like that, I was/am too close to the events!
Lara is just on another level even today her voice is still incredible so thanks Mr. Nick for reacting to the Queen......appreciate you👍
🇨🇦 She is TOTALLY fluent in French !
Belgian/Canadian and better than Celine Dion, and never using autotune ! 🇨🇦
Stay bitter but that snooze fest you worship doesn’t hold a candle to Celine
In my opinion Lara is one of the best female singers in the world. She knows how to convey her emotions to the audience. In the Netherlands we have a young singer who has the same gift: Emma Kok. Maybe you would like to react to her singing 'Voilà' with André Rieu, Maastricht 2023. She was only 15 years old at that time.
I see you already did, thank you.
She has all the skills, also the management of mic, she perfectly knows when put it close to the mouth, when put it faaaaaar away. She's unique.ç
Bienvenido al mundo de Lara Fabián, única en su especie. Mil gracias por reaccionar, ojalá lo hagas en más de sus canciones.
Without translation you can feel the meaning already. So emotional!
When you're french, you cry when you listen her in that song.......so strong emotionaly........she's amazing.
C'est tellement vrai 😢😢😢
On en est tous là !
@nickhigsthesinger you need to watch the ending bro. the performance continues for at least 2 minutes after the singing stops. she went so deep that she had to recover from it, had to find herself back, and slowly she realized what she did, holds her hands for her mouth and stares at the audience. This is the best performance i have ever seen.
I agree. Quality videos embody a performance: musical notes, tones, words, and heart, meaning personal motivation and character. Folks running some Expert Channels often ignore their larger audience who are interested in experiencing the whole of the performance, while also enjoying what they're able to understand and learn about the basics of vocal technique. Ms. Fabian had to have been as internally focused on her own reactions to the emotions of the story as she was to familiar details of her well practiced technique. Great acting is living, not mimicking. Seems to me that's what makes Lara, Lara. Not repetitively going over this or that, but having confidence in her technique so that she can be emotionally true to the experiences within the story. This was strongly suggested by two clear POVs of her struggle to recover her demeanor after an emotionally wrenching experience meant to convey us to a privileged place. Only by seeing her then is this performance wholly satisfying. Nick got stuck in the weeds and missed, as experts sometimes do, this evidence of the character and motivation of an amazing artist.
alors, pour répondre à ta question, Lara Fabian interprète toujours ses chansons avec beaucoup de cœur et d’émotion, car c’est une femme qui a du vécu et qui le montre à cœur ouvert !! ❤
Lara's songs are rich and varied 15 records over 140 songs
don't be content with her early live performances from the 2000s

Oh and as someone mentioned, Please go back and watch her still "in" the song for SO long after the music ends. She is in deep.....
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane!

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Top Female vocaliste in the world, major star in Europe, speaks 4 languages, (Italian, French, English, Spanish) also partly Russian and Portugese. More than 30millions album sold world wide and almost unknown in the USA, i will let others explain her story, she is now 54 yo and just finished a world Tour in june 2024. You now have the Lara-virus, no vaccin, no medication, she sings from her soul to yours....best rabbit hole of RUclips
She doesn't "seem good live"...SHE IS!!
You have to check out her version of Caruso. It makes this metalhead cry every time.
Lara Fabian - Caruso ❤
Superb! Thanks so much. I’d love to hear your comments on Lara’s duet Toi et Moi with Dimitri Hvorostovsky.
She is the best❤😊
I am so glad you have found Lara Fabian! Not surprised that you were so impressed, though. She is amazing at expressing emotion and telling a story, as you explained in your reaction. Next? Maybe a comparison of Lara and Dimash singing Adagio? I wouldn't think choosing "the best" performance would be prudent, but your comparative analysis of technique and interpretation would be worth watching for many viewers, especially growing singers, I would think. Cheers! - Your old student, Bobby
I have seen this video of Lara maybe 50 times, but my heart is beating faster and heavier, and I´m on a verge of tears. This is just one phenomenal performance.
It’s interesting that you said “Maybe it’s her song that’s why she can portray that character perfectly” but it’s not actually her song! which makes her even more talented that she can make everyone feel like this song is hers!
Lara is one of the most talented singers! one of the best singers for sure. The storytelling and the emotions she put into the songs is something only few artists can do.
Please keep reacting to her.. I suggest her live version of (Je t’aime , Caruso , Adagio )
You will love her "Adagio" or "Caruso"😊
I thought you might mention how she stays in character even after the music has ended and it adds to the whole experience of her singing. I’ve seen her video many times, but even tonight, it still brought tears to my eyes.
The particular video upload that he chose to watch or happened upon among the various available was one that cuts off abruptly; almost immediately after Lara lets go of that final note.
20 years later I still listen to this song…
this performance is the perfect example of emotional investment into a song by a singer. if you watch the original you'll see at the end how long it takes her to re emerge from the song from the last note, till she covers her mouth. what I like to call singing on the edge. next near to impossible to do, but when it works ... oh boy.
In france, back in the days, Lara and Celine were on par in term of popularity. Good old times :)
Some news from Lara:
Lara Fabian was invited by Stjepan Hauser to sing Adagio and Caruso at Royal Albert Hall, accompanied by the London Philharmonie Orchestra on May 9th 2024:

Thank you! "Caruso", "Adagio" and "Broken vow" next...
Serge Lama wrote the lyrics and popularised this song. Lara does a fantastic performance like if it was her own song.
Following you now! Great review. I am a fan of Lara Fabian since 1999. Thank you!
You have many other geius performances to listen to by Lara. Being classical, I recommend Caruso or her number from La Traviata.
What makes this song really emotional especially for Lara is this is pretty much a song she can seriously relate to as she went through
something terrible in a relationship herself.
FYI- Lara Fabian’s father is Belgian and mother is Italian.
I enjoyed your comments and will check out more of your reactions, but you need to go back and watch to the very end!
