Έχεις απόλυτο δίκιο. Είμαι 64 χρόνων, έχω ασχοληθεί επαγγελματικά με την μουσική, έχω ακούσει τεράστιες φωνές ειδικά δεκαετία 70 . Μήν ακούς τί λένε για άλλους καλούς ερμηνευτές. Η Λάρα είναι η βασίλισσα, δεν υπάρχει κανένας πού μπορεί να σταθεί δίπλα της. Αυτός πού την ακούει πρώτη φορά, παθαίνει σοκ. Είναι από άλλο πλανήτη όπως την προσφωνησαν μεγάλοι μουσικοί.
@@spirossofianossisko super comment AND correct!!! Ms. Lara is phenomenal, and has THE best voice I have heard as well. I’m a bit older than you and heard a lot of splendid voices. But, this lady is THE queen indeed!!
“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 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. Lara also had made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power.serge and Lara became good friends. 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 this 2003 version is even more dramatic ruclips.net/video/SyILdRAOS88/видео.html
im french speaking and to me this is out of this world!What a story teller emotions technic and all i love her since 1995 she duid here a Fantastic performance!!
She is a Goddess and delivers a master class in the art of performing. At the song's end, you can see the madness and despair on her face. She is totally immersed , and the viewer feels all her pain. Love her. Thanks for the reaction. More Lara please.
The power of this woman is incredible !! in each song she leaves a piece of her, adagio, je taime and this are my favorites. thanks sdos 🇦🇷 Argentina 🇦🇷.
Lara Fabian, the one and only who does not just understand the story perfectly but conveys the depth of the story vocally. Add to that her body language, facial expressions...stage presence - the entire package. Absolutely the best. I strongly recommend that you listen to some interviews with Lara to learn more about this wonderful and beautiful human being. You two are doing a stunning job with all your reactions. Continue similarly. God bless.
More information on Lara Fabian: Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, .... In my personal opinion, she is even the best. There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register. So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence: • she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer. • she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none • she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens. A quick background on her and her career: She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages. She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory. She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today. She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She 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), ○ 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 (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know), ○ Il Divo (Adagio) ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow) ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Vitas (Adagio) ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio), ○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio) ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ .... NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version. Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature. In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular. On April 23 2023 she had again a wonderful concert in Tbilissi, Georgia Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
I am so happy you finally got to our beautiful world class Lara!!! I have been a fan for 20 years. J'adore. ❤️❤️❤️ She has the voice and soul of an angel. 🥰🥰🥰 Best wishes from Canadian Dear 🇨🇦
Yep, she's the GOAT, imo. She is a MASTER of both technique (with a huge toolbox of skills carried out with insane precision) and a MASTER of making brilliant choices to get at the core of the emotions of a song. Stunning performer. I only discovered her a few years ago and am an obsessed stan for the first time in my (not short) life. Looking forward to seeing more of your Fabian journey. Her original Adagio from this concert (English) is another emotional masterpiece. Think you'd appreciate it, no matter how much you like others' covers of it.😉
The ending killed me You literally watch her pulling herself back & out from the song & into herself to recognize there was even an audience there with her. was something magical Thank you for sharing your honest & Beautiful reaction
Well, I am happy that you get to know this Goddess, Lara is not a singer she is a storyteller. The first time I saw this woman was 2002 the Song Broken Vow, and in the middle tears run down my face, it was like a revelation. Thank you for the reaction. I love when new people get to know her.
@@Killermcknight Listening to Lara, if you don't speak the language she's singing in, you don't need to read the lyrics to feel the emotion (like happy, sad or angry) but you need to read the lyrics to know WHAT, WHY and HOW she's singing about the subject. Listening to a song without understanding the lyrics (good lyrics, unlike the majority of trashy music with crappy lyrics that just exist to justify the singing) it's like looking at a black and white version of a portrait: you shouldn't cripple art!
Lara Fabian is the best and most beautiful, powerful storyteller ever. A work of art, a MASTERPIECE!! there you can see why she is a reference to so many artists, Dimash among them.
In my secret life Lara Fabian is the love of my life..( not a secret anymoore) She is the most beautiful voice of her generation. This perfomance is what Lara is all about..emotions. Thank you for reacting to this wonderful artist.👍👍👍
When an artist stands and shakes after the final note, you know they were immersed in the song. Lara speaks at least 4 languages fluently maybe more now (French and English being the primary), she sings in 11 languages at last count, and is a master class in performance every time she steps on stage.
Her two first languages are French ( her father is belgian) and Italian ( her mother is sicilian) . English came in third place and she learned it with her father. She has a crystal clear voice.
Lara is absolutely incredible, thank you both for sharing your thoughts. Ti Amo Cosi is a trio with Lara, Aida Garifullina, and Dimash and it’s incredible.❤
Whooaou , at the end of the song , she is stunned by the energy she gaved and need to recover, a true performance. Bravo Lara and thanks for your react both of you .
Lara is so right ! It came from the heart ❤ no barriers any language. I love her , but love can make you or break you ! For sure . From Kyle Juvenal Relleve in California.
Muy buena su reacción, ella es una extraordinaria ARTISTA. En un concierto para homenajear a un reconocido productor y compositor que ha trabajado con grandes artistas de el mundo, el dijo algo mas o menos así al presentarla "en el mundo hay grandes cantantes y por encima de esas grandes cantantes esta Lara Fabian"
Lara (Laura) Fabian is Italian by mother side: because of this she speaks perfectly Italian. And she is an actress also with her blood of South Italy ... 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Bonjour de France ,c est LARA FABIAN ,elle est belle talentueuse et je vous rejoins pour l'emotion qu qu'elle donne je l AIME, merci et à bientôt avec peut etre en ITALIEN la chanson PERDER AMORE, ou CARUSO, QUEDATE en ESPAGNOL ❤❤❤❤
Toujours envahie de frissons lorsque j' entend Lara Fabian reprendre cette magnifique chanson de Serge Lama. Lara Fabian n'est pas qu'une grande voix, une chanteuse mais aussi une excellente interprète. Elle vit son texte, son corps sa gestuelle ses expressions. Elle est imprégnée. A la fin de sa prestation elle met près de 30 secondes (et c'est long) pour revenir à la réalité.
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa canción e interpretación increíble de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe! Por favor reacciónen a Adagio, Caruso, You're not from here, To love again, Perderé l'amore, Quédate, Mademoiselle hide, Tomorrow is a lie, Traviatta, Desesperate housewife, Lebedy, Lou Russian fairy tales! Gracias!
It's not only the voice, she's singing her own emotions into us, into our souls. Direct soul-to-soul communication in all her songs, , we know you feel it. So do we,,,,,,,,,,Top vocaliste in the world, speak fluently 4 languages, major star in Europe, # 1 in Russia ... Sony music sign her in 1999 and the Céline Dion group did not like it and that story, i will let others telling it. I grew up in Québec Province, Céline is great, but Lara is the Queen
My initial reaction was shock of course at her control - lyrics and utter mastery of every moment of the song…and the thought came to mind that if Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion had a baby that baby would be Lara Fabian, and she would far out strip them both and she does. Lara puts her everything into everything sung- far more than a vocal technician and an excellent performer… she is real. she also very humble and a great teacher and all-around good person from everything that I have seen.
Fyi she is also a role model for Josh Groban who covered her Broken Vow and sang several duets with her (including For Always for the soundtrack of Spielberg’s A.I. movie)
If it should be required, she has proven her craftsmanship, professionalism and that combined with the French lyrics. Amazing Lara. She made this song to a monument, cast in concrete.
She is belgian/canadian. Born in belgium but raised in Sicily italia. She started her carreer in Canada and broke-through in France in the late 90s. She was huge in France in the late 90s. Similar to Celine Dion, which was huge in France in the 90s/early 2000s singing in french before she started her carreer in the US. Both are still part of the musical landscape in France. It is a great rendition of Serge Lama's "je suis malade" song.
Thank you both for a great an honest reaction. You will cry the 100th time you watch this when you have it not only memorized but memorized in French. She makes grown men cry all the time, at least this one. Lara is the Queen, long may she reign. Incomparable, so warm, so strong. Mesmerizing. Thanks again. Do some more Lara please - below are a few. ruclips.net/video/BP2KnLemT78/видео.html A man's song...supposedly. Not anymore. "Caruso" Done by many many artists, this Italian classic by Lucio Dalla is a great song, beautiful, about the dying days of the great operatic legend Enrico Caruso. While done by many men, Lara's version is the now considered by many to be the best version, even Dalla agreed. Luciano Pavarotti did it as well and he did it like all the great male tenors did it, swelling on the high notes majestically. Lara takes a different approach and finishes phrases angelically. Simply flat out hauntingly gorgeous. I am old enough to have seen Pavarotti live...I adored him...as we all did in those days. But with all due respect - molto rispetto - to the maestro, I like Lara's better. Back to Enrico Caruso, who was dying young and leaving a young wife and child behind, he reminisces and says goodbye. A tearjerker scale of 11 out of 10. Dalla, the author, visited the hotel where Caruso and his wife stayed sometimes, the very room...In the Gulf of Sorrento. In the song, Lara sings "Surriento"...not a mistake, fully intentional. Surriento is how a Neapolitan would pronounce it and Caruso was from Napoli. Lara - - Misses - - Nothing. Enjoy. ruclips.net/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/видео.html "Perdere l' amore" Another Italian classic. This beloved song has also been done by many. Do not let Lara do your song...game over. Lost love, in middle age, and at night, alone, trying to be recaptured, rekindled....beautiful song. Our Queen, long may she reign, crushes it. ruclips.net/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/видео.html "Adagio" In English!!!! Originally a classic piece, no lyrics, written by Tomaso Albinoni in the late 1600's (this is disputed). Lara wrote the words and the rest is history. A song of longing for your love, for the love to come in season. Stunning. A masterpiece. Slayed by Lara. Covered now by many (Dimash, Floor Jansen...), our Queen, long may she reign, casts a spell you cannot get out of. Good luck trying to pause it. ruclips.net/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/видео.html "Broken Vow" in English!! Written by Lara. Josh Groban also made it a hit (they are great fans\friends of each other). Our Queen teaches us how to deal with betrayal. Unfrickingbelieveable. She just kills it. ruclips.net/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/видео.html "You're not from here" English. Written by Lara. Esoteric...we are not sure if "you" is real or an imaginary love or an ideal. Beautiful. My favorite Lara song. Some really interesting phrasing...stunning...hard to do. ruclips.net/video/l826rlBOn9w/видео.html - ruclips.net/video/7PZTuXavzS0/видео.html - French - "Je T'aime" I love you. There are 2 links. Here is why. The first link is my favorite version of the song. It is known by heart by everybody in France. Written by Lara, it is a very beautiful song and of course she just charms you and takes you where she needs to take you. The second link some have alluded to here in your reaction thread, is a performance where her adoring army of fans sing "we love you' to her while she attempts to sing 'I love you" back. I burst into tears every time I see it. My advice is that you watch this second version last...it is now, today, in Lara's world, a love song between her fans and the Queen. Finally, always watch Lara live. I view Lara as a sorceress. Her studio work was of course great, more polished, but she is a sorceress live, casting the needed spells, compelling you down a path she needs to you take whether you want to go there or not. The enchantment Queen ensures you have an experience. The emotions she will elicit are the emotions required.
@@michelkelly933 Actually,her father is Belgian,(Lara's real last name is Crokaert),her mother is Sicilian.It's true she speaks italian,because she spend the first 5 years of her life in Italy,but her first language is french,because her father was a Brussels resident where Lara was born in a city called Etterbeek, which is a suburb from Brussel.
She possess the music and the music possesses her. The only singer I'd ever seen that carries so much emotion in her music and her story telling. I just loves her!
I am 80 years old and have listened to her several times and my tears are streaming every time. Her voice - her artistry, She is deep in the music and seems emotionally totaly exhausted at the end. And a perfect piano and orchestral accompaniament. And the moment when she sings without them. I will listen to her again and again.
It's almost like she's singing Broadway or like method acted singing. A whole minute after that standing ovation you can still feel that she is back there and not present. I've never seen anything like it
Perfect reaction to the greatest female voice on planet Earth law of Fabian. More please. Songs . Adagio. Broken Vow. Caruso. You're not from here. Quedate. And many more. Hopefully you pick the right performances. Thank you. Until next time, stay well, and poppin for fresh !
Lara Fabian will give a concert in Kazakhstan on June 24, we are looking forward to a participation of Dimash in it, Dimash always admires Lara, they have already sung together and Igor Krutoy unites them too, I am sure it will be a fabulous concert.
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
I heard it a million times a million times I cried
me too
read the lyrics ... it's even more beautiful after.... and it's Lara
In my 68 years listening to great (and not so great!) music artists I've never seen anyone get more emotionally invested in a song than Lara.
Listen Jacques Brel Ne me quittes pas. It will blow your mind.
I think that also KD Lang can invest in a preformance

This is not just a song by her, but an Aria. A performace, a masterpiece.
My favourite ever female singer and the best in the world! 😀
To me, there's nobody better, especially that I cry watching her sing, so much emotion in every song she sings!!!
I wish Lara could be spoken about without mentioning Dimash, he is not even in the same universe as Lara.
Couldn't agree more...for me Dimash is more about technical ability, but he has nothing on Lara's storytelling as far as I'm concerned!
ELLOS CANTARON JUNTOS Y DIMASH LE DIJO Q SIEMPRE SOÑO CANTAR CON ELLA DE HECHO CANTA MUCHAS CANCION Q ELLA CANTO ANTES

More information on Lara Fabian:
Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, ....
In my personal opinion, she is even the best.
There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register.
So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence:
• she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total
• she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer.
• she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none
• she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens.
A quick background on her and her career:
She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages.
She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory.
She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today.
She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada.
She 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),
○ 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 (Adagio, Broken Vow),
○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know),
○ Il Divo (Adagio)
○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you),
○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow)
○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso),
○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie),
○ Amir (Je t’aime),
○ Vitas (Adagio)
○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio),
○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio),
○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade),
○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade),
○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio)
○ Majda Roumi (Adagio),
○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow),
○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow),
○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you)
○ ....
NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version.
Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature.
In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular.
On April 23 2023 she had again a wonderful concert in Tbilissi, Georgia
Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
Thank you, very complete your report on the great Lara Fabian, la mejor cantante femenina desde hace mucho tiempo.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Don't apologize. It was so kind of you. Thank you very much, it was really informative 👍
I am so happy you finally got to our beautiful world class Lara!!! I have been a fan for 20 years. J'adore. ❤️❤️❤️ She has the voice and soul of an angel. 🥰🥰🥰 Best wishes from Canadian Dear 🇨🇦
Yep, she's the GOAT, imo. She is a MASTER of both technique (with a huge toolbox of skills carried out with insane precision) and a MASTER of making brilliant choices to get at the core of the emotions of a song. Stunning performer. I only discovered her a few years ago and am an obsessed stan for the first time in my (not short) life.
Looking forward to seeing more of your Fabian journey. Her original Adagio from this concert (English) is another emotional masterpiece. Think you'd appreciate it, no matter how much you like others' covers of it.😉
The ending killed me
You literally watch her pulling herself back & out from the song & into herself to recognize there was even an audience there with her.
was something magical
Thank you for sharing your honest & Beautiful reaction
I couldn't agree more! Thank you so much!
@@Killermcknight The correct pronouncing is "Je (ge-the "e" is like you said the "de")-suee-ma (open a)-la (open a, again-de (as you said).
Well, I am happy that you get to know this Goddess, Lara is not a singer she is a storyteller. The first time I saw this woman was 2002 the Song Broken Vow, and in the middle tears run down my face, it was like a revelation. Thank you for the reaction. I love when new people get to know her.
Looking forward to more of her. I would definitely say just from the one song do far, she is definitely a storyteller.
@@Killermcknight Please react to Broken VOW!!
@@Killermcknight Listening to Lara, if you don't speak the language she's singing in, you don't need to read the lyrics to feel the emotion (like happy, sad or angry) but you need to read the lyrics to know WHAT, WHY and HOW she's singing about the subject. Listening to a song without understanding the lyrics (good lyrics, unlike the majority of trashy music with crappy lyrics that just exist to justify the singing) it's like looking at a black and white version of a portrait: you shouldn't cripple art!
Like the song of a fairy❤ I'm from Brazil and I love Lara❤
Lara Fabian is the best and most beautiful, powerful storyteller ever. A work of art, a MASTERPIECE!! there you can see why she is a reference to so many artists, Dimash among them.
Queen of love ❤️😪
she is fantastic wow wow wow she is my favorite performer you relate to this song she can share those emotions.
finally!!!! I was waiting for this reaction!!! Great!
Thanks for being patient!
In my secret life Lara Fabian is the love of my life..( not a secret anymoore) She is the most beautiful voice of her generation. This perfomance is what Lara is all about..emotions. Thank you for reacting to this wonderful artist.👍👍👍
Understandably!
One of the best live performances ever. Period
Best storytelling by a female singer I know. Breathtaking. I love this performance.
This performance and song, OMG.
Je t aime lara je n est jamais reçus une telle charge émotionnel d ou tu a sorti cette chanson exceptionnellement interprété bravo
i'm sick !!!! Grande chanson française, j'en suis très fiere du coup !!!
one of my all time favorite performances ever..such a masterclass
Full goosebumps mode. I am French and a 90a kid thank you I loved listening to this song again.
My heart is bleeding💔🖤😢. You hear the sorrow and pain of a wounded soul. This voice!👏👏👏👏👏
When an artist stands and shakes after the final note, you know they were immersed in the song. Lara speaks at least 4 languages fluently maybe more now (French and English being the primary), she sings in 11 languages at last count, and is a master class in performance every time she steps on stage.
Her two first languages are French ( her father is belgian) and Italian ( her mother is sicilian) . English came in third place and she learned it with her father. She has a crystal clear voice.
Lara is absolutely incredible, thank you both for sharing your thoughts. Ti Amo Cosi is a trio with Lara, Aida Garifullina, and Dimash and it’s incredible.❤
Couldn't agree more!
She is the best❤
Whooaou , at the end of the song , she is stunned by the energy she gaved and need to recover, a true performance. Bravo Lara and thanks for your react both of you .
Great reaction guys ,you would have to be made of stone not to feel this emotion she conveys and her beautiful voice ! Such a performance!
Lara is so right ! It came from the heart ❤ no barriers any language. I love her , but love can make you or break you ! For sure . From Kyle Juvenal Relleve in California.
Lara's just one of the best performers in the Worl !
What a f##kin' performance!!! A true master indeed.
Lara is so amazing. You have to hear , Lara Fabian -Je t´aime - Live in Paris 2001, just listen to the audience, just wow.
amaziiiing U guys👏
Lara Fabian 😍🥰, she's the Goddess❤
U've should watch Je'taime, live concert in Paris , It's a MUST WATCH Performance🤯😱
Muy buena su reacción, ella es una extraordinaria ARTISTA. En un concierto para homenajear a un reconocido productor y compositor que ha trabajado con grandes artistas de el mundo, el dijo algo mas o menos así al presentarla "en el mundo hay grandes cantantes y por encima de esas grandes cantantes esta Lara Fabian"
Understanding the words elevates the performance to another level.
Great reaction
Thank you so much!
The best performer. A TRUE storyteller.
This performance, as well as Caruso from the same concert are so unbelievably great. I have listened so many times, and I never get tired of watching.
No one does this song like her, amazing performance 😢
Lara (Laura) Fabian is Italian by mother side: because of this she speaks perfectly Italian. And she is an actress also with her blood of South Italy ... 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
lara its a total powerhouse... she is without a doubt one of the best singers in the world... if you like this one check her Adagio or Broken Vow
Bonjour de France ,c est LARA FABIAN ,elle est belle talentueuse et je vous rejoins pour l'emotion qu qu'elle donne je l AIME, merci et à bientôt avec peut etre en ITALIEN la chanson PERDER AMORE, ou CARUSO, QUEDATE en ESPAGNOL ❤❤❤❤
My favourite female singer of all time. No one can get a song across to her audience like Lara.❤
I'm not crying either. For some reason my eyes are watering a lot. Don't know why!
Lara Is my favourite female singer. It’s not just her voice. She portrays emotion like no other.❤
Lara Fabian's Broken Vow is also wonderful.
Toujours envahie de frissons lorsque j' entend Lara Fabian reprendre cette magnifique chanson de Serge Lama. Lara Fabian n'est pas qu'une grande voix, une chanteuse mais aussi une excellente interprète. Elle vit son texte, son corps sa gestuelle ses expressions. Elle est imprégnée. A la fin de sa prestation elle met près de 30 secondes (et c'est long) pour revenir à la réalité.
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa canción e interpretación increíble de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe! Por favor reacciónen a Adagio, Caruso, You're not from here, To love again, Perderé l'amore, Quédate, Mademoiselle hide, Tomorrow is a lie, Traviatta, Desesperate housewife, Lebedy, Lou Russian fairy tales! Gracias!
She has a voice like noone else and that note at the end lasts 17 seconds
It's not only the voice, she's singing her own emotions into us, into our souls. Direct soul-to-soul communication in all her songs, , we know you feel it. So do we,,,,,,,,,,Top vocaliste in the world, speak fluently 4 languages, major star in Europe, # 1 in Russia ... Sony music sign her in 1999 and the Céline Dion group did not like it and that story, i will let others telling it. I grew up in Québec Province, Céline is great, but Lara is the Queen
Don't forget our best kept secret : Ginette Reno .
She's amazing! I never heard of her until recently, but her voice is so good. 🤔👍 Great reaction. 🏆
Good choice !Love from France !😎☮️
Lara is music ❤️❤️
My initial reaction was shock of course at her control - lyrics and utter mastery of every moment of the song…and the thought came to mind that if Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion had a baby that baby would be Lara Fabian, and she would far out strip them both and she does. Lara puts her everything into everything sung- far more than a vocal technician and an excellent performer… she is real. she also very humble and a great teacher and all-around good person from everything that I have seen.
Caruso by Lara is amazing too 😃❤️❤️❤️
She is unbelievable! 😮
Fyi she is also a role model for Josh Groban who covered her Broken Vow and sang several duets with her (including For Always for the soundtrack of Spielberg’s A.I. movie)
If it should be required, she has proven her craftsmanship, professionalism and that combined with the French lyrics. Amazing Lara. She made this song to a monument, cast in concrete.
She is belgian/canadian. Born in belgium but raised in Sicily italia. She started her carreer in Canada and broke-through in France in the late 90s. She was huge in France in the late 90s. Similar to Celine Dion, which was huge in France in the 90s/early 2000s singing in french before she started her carreer in the US. Both are still part of the musical landscape in France. It is a great rendition of Serge Lama's "je suis malade" song.
Thank you both for a great an honest reaction. You will cry the 100th time you watch this when you have it not only memorized but memorized in French. She makes grown men cry all the time, at least this one. Lara is the Queen, long may she reign. Incomparable, so warm, so strong. Mesmerizing. Thanks again. Do some more Lara please - below are a few.
ruclips.net/video/BP2KnLemT78/видео.html A man's song...supposedly. Not anymore. "Caruso" Done by many many artists, this Italian classic by Lucio Dalla is a great song, beautiful, about the dying days of the great operatic legend Enrico Caruso. While done by many men, Lara's version is the now considered by many to be the best version, even Dalla agreed. Luciano Pavarotti did it as well and he did it like all the great male tenors did it, swelling on the high notes majestically. Lara takes a different approach and finishes phrases angelically. Simply flat out hauntingly gorgeous. I am old enough to have seen Pavarotti live...I adored him...as we all did in those days. But with all due respect - molto rispetto - to the maestro, I like Lara's better. Back to Enrico Caruso, who was dying young and leaving a young wife and child behind, he reminisces and says goodbye. A tearjerker scale of 11 out of 10. Dalla, the author, visited the hotel where Caruso and his wife stayed sometimes, the very room...In the Gulf of Sorrento. In the song, Lara sings "Surriento"...not a mistake, fully intentional. Surriento is how a Neapolitan would pronounce it and Caruso was from Napoli.
Lara - - Misses - - Nothing. Enjoy.
ruclips.net/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/видео.html "Perdere l' amore" Another Italian classic. This beloved song has also been done by many. Do not let Lara do your song...game over. Lost love, in middle age, and at night, alone, trying to be recaptured, rekindled....beautiful song. Our Queen, long may she reign, crushes it.
ruclips.net/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/видео.html "Adagio" In English!!!! Originally a classic piece, no lyrics, written by Tomaso Albinoni in the late 1600's (this is disputed). Lara wrote the words and the rest is history. A song of longing for your love, for the love to come in season. Stunning. A masterpiece. Slayed by Lara. Covered now by many (Dimash, Floor Jansen...), our Queen, long may she reign, casts a spell you cannot get out of. Good luck trying to pause it.
ruclips.net/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/видео.html "Broken Vow" in English!! Written by Lara. Josh Groban also made it a hit (they are great fans\friends of each other). Our Queen teaches us how to deal with betrayal. Unfrickingbelieveable. She just kills it.
ruclips.net/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/видео.html "You're not from here" English. Written by Lara. Esoteric...we are not sure if "you" is real or an imaginary love or an ideal. Beautiful. My favorite Lara song. Some really interesting phrasing...stunning...hard to do.
ruclips.net/video/l826rlBOn9w/видео.html - ruclips.net/video/7PZTuXavzS0/видео.html - French - "Je T'aime" I love you. There are 2 links. Here is why. The first link is my favorite version of the song. It is known by heart by everybody in France. Written by Lara, it is a very beautiful song and of course she just charms you and takes you where she needs to take you. The second link some have alluded to here in your reaction thread, is a performance where her adoring army of fans sing "we love you' to her while she attempts to sing 'I love you" back. I burst into tears every time I see it. My advice is that you watch this second version last...it is now, today, in Lara's world, a love song between her fans and the Queen.
Finally, always watch Lara live. I view Lara as a sorceress. Her studio work was of course great, more polished, but she is a sorceress live, casting the needed spells, compelling you down a path she needs to you take whether you want to go there or not. The enchantment Queen ensures you have an experience. The emotions she will elicit are the emotions required.
She is Belgian and French Canadian. French is her first language
Actually, Italian is her first language and got her Canadian citizenship as a young women!
@@michelkelly933 You're right! My bad
@@michelkelly933 Actually,her father is Belgian,(Lara's real last name is Crokaert),her mother is Sicilian.It's true she speaks italian,because she spend the first 5 years of her life in Italy,but her first language is french,because her father was a Brussels resident where Lara was born in a city called Etterbeek, which is a suburb from Brussel.
Absolutely beautiful song. I enjoy your reviews and song selections.
When you say understand breathing, that's exactly what it is. No need to understand the words when you understand the message.
She possess the music and the music possesses her. The only singer I'd ever seen that carries so much emotion in her music and her story telling. I just loves her!
I am 80 years old and have listened to her several times and my tears are streaming every time. Her voice - her artistry, She is deep in the music and seems emotionally totaly exhausted at the end. And a perfect piano and orchestral accompaniament. And the moment when she sings without them. I will listen to her again and again.
Translation is perfect
Cette voix ! Et elle touche les hommes au bien profond ! Juste merci.
It's almost like she's singing Broadway or like method acted singing. A whole minute after that standing ovation you can still feel that she is back there and not present. I've never seen anything like it
Quelle interprétation. Elle se voue à ses chansons. Elle s'investit pleinement au point de la croire vraiment malade !
Notre lara unique et cette voix!A quand un duo avec mon lp .Le top pour moi☺
The best female pop singer ever!!! Period!!
Thank you very much 💖🇫🇮
The translation was on point, literally perfect, word by word.
Perfect reaction to the greatest female voice on planet Earth law of Fabian. More please. Songs . Adagio. Broken Vow. Caruso. You're not from here. Quedate. And many more. Hopefully you pick the right performances. Thank you. Until next time, stay well, and poppin for fresh !
Caruso from the same concert with English subs is also amazing and worth watching.
Lara Fabian will give a concert in Kazakhstan on June 24, we are looking forward to a participation of Dimash in it, Dimash always admires Lara, they have already sung together and Igor Krutoy unites them too, I am sure it will be a fabulous concert.
Imagine if Krutoy snuck in Diana Ankudinova too... Those 3 voices might create a canyon.
Oh too see Lara and Dimash, oh my, no words! That would be epic
She brought this masterpiece to a whole another level.
Love Lara ❤️
Love from Denmark ❤️
She was born in Belgium ,so it's L-A-R-A . Imagine now her song ADAGIO from the same concert Incredible
You said it perfectly!
She’s incredible isn’t she?? The best! Please react more to her ❤
😢❤love Jesus Christ what a performance love from Greece
Lara can right her own songs she does not do only covers. This song is a cover a song popularised by Serge Lama .
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane!
