When Lara appears on stage, it's art. When Lara speaks, it's art. When Lara moves, it's art. When Lara cries, it's art. When Lara moves, it's art. When Lara sings, it's magic.
Celine sings with a pure voice, Lara sings with Pure and Emotional Voice, Celine sings wonderful, beautiful for your ears, Lara sings Beautiful for your Ears and Heart, I feel hear in my chest, my heart cries with her. that's the only way I can explain it. ❤❤❤❤💖💖
Lara sings with her entire body. She involves her eyebrows, her teeth and her hands help with placement of each note and breath. Even her hair has an accompanying effect to her story telling. It’s all magic!
Yes, it's great, but Lara's real masterpiece is „En toute intimité“ ruclips.net/video/NMHym4N4UXo/видео.html .It’s Lara's favorite concert and also for most of her fans.
This version is the best and cannot be surpassed. She owns this song. Which btw is one of the most beautiful songs that exist for me, of course the melodies coming from the famous Adagio of Albinoni
This is because it’s her first native language, even before french. While born in Belgium, she spent the first 5-7 years mostly in Catane, Sicilia, in her mother family.
The 1st time I heard Lara's Adagio, I could feel her magical voice and emotions under my skin and they remained in my heart and my soul ever since. Thank you for your great reaction to Lara Fabian.
Lara is the best I’ve ever seen. I’m no pro but when a singer consistently brings me to tears just with the perfection, emotion and total performance .. well, this stuff transcends other artists efforts ... and there are many, many great artists out there. So, many colours ... Lara is top of the shelf! I’d give my right arm to be in that audience, that close to greatness.
As a listener who doesn't understand much music, I had to watch a lot, and I want to say that the most beautiful thing I saw was your precise detailing of every note and Lara's singing technique. It's a miracle. You make me love her even more
Although you didn't mention the name, I completely agree 😊Celine is technically amazing but her variety, tone, storytelling, emoting AND risk-taking doesn't come close to Lara. It's formulaic vs organic and if you have a heart the latter just resonates more.
And I hate hearing how “that” other singer’s management (a/k/a husband) sabotaged Lara’s chances in the U.S. with foul sportsmanship/management threats.
@@lizatsurkan4323 - I am not professional musician and not even musically educated. So my honest opinion about CD. She is poor artist (I mean in creation art out of human experience), she is mediocre singer (I mean words are for her mainly as instrument to express her singing technique) and (last but not least for her) technically superb (one can say great) vocalist. And even vocally there is so much more going on by Lara (as our reactor says).
No singer LIVES a song as completely as Lara and very few singers are as good live as they are in the studio ........... Lara is actually better live than on tape AND she has a unique ability to make each and every audience member feel as though she is singing only for them - The Ultimate Artist !
This is a woman's voice . . . powerful, experienced, confident, & emotional. Not a 20-something pop singer. Such absolute beauty. I could listen to Lara all day.
Thanks for the reaction to Lara Fabian. I have followed her since the 90's. She was never given a fair chance in the states, but she became an international star. She has a way of telling us a story with her songs. Very emotional for me when she sings.
I'm no expert. But, and correct me if I'm wrong. There are many great singers. They hit all the right notes. They do all the right things. I think the difference between them and Lara is that she is the definition of "performance art". Every performance.
Your comment is well taken. However, there is a real difference between her absolute technical mastery and most other popular 'great' singers'. Her control & the skill toolbox she has to choose from are enormous. Her uncanny ability to know what would be the most emotionally resonant choices at the level of phrase, word, consonant/vowel and the technical chops to carry out her decisions with utter ease - that package is what makes her unique imo.
More information on Lara Fabian: Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, .... In my personal opinion, she is even the best. There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register. So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence: • she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer. • she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none • she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens. A quick background on her and her career: She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both french and italian as native languages. She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory. She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today. She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She now lives in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship She became very famous there and then conquered France in 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music). In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US. This concert is legendary and the song you just reviewed is from this concert. But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan. She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance. She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then. Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban, … With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there. Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her. She is Dimash's idol: I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep. He covered many of her songs, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara. Out of my mind I can list: ○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version) ○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know") She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love". And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva). Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida. Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara. Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it. Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration: ○ Floor Jansen (Adagio), ○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime), ○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie, Ascolta la Voce), ○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow), ○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace), ○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know), ○ Il Divo (Adagio) ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow) ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Vitas (Adagio) ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ .... NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version. Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature. In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
I have read most of this before but you can never write too much about her. Thank you for posting this. Everyone should know Lara Fabian. She has aged like fine wine and in more recent years songs, like je t’aime for instance, are even better than her earlier versions.
Thank you for letting know people the real story about Lara. Too many people praise other singers like Celine Dion as the best, but deep down in their heart, I am sure they know Lara is way far better in every single little details, but will never admit it ❤
Agree 1,000% with everything you have highlighted regarding Lara Fabian's sensation live performance! 😍 I would also add that, as a middle-aged American man, I'm not the least bit embarrassed to confess that tears well up in my eyes EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch Lara Fabian's monumental live performance of Adagio. The way I see things....Lara Fabian shares much in common with the Israeli-American solo violinist - Itzhak Perlman; the virtuoso who made his Carnegie Hall debut performing Wieniawski's Violin Concerto No. 1 in 1963 and won the Leventritt Competition in 1964. However, instead of playing an $10M Stradivari violin in concert - as Itzhak Perlman does - Lara Fabian brings to the stage the incredible vocal talent and singing ability God endowed her with.
I have a confession! The main reason I subscribed to your channel is YOUR SMILE! But your reaction to the singers is great too, but your smile is just enchanting.
This song was properly arranged in the right key for her voice. Then, throwing in the transpose in the middle of that extended note made the climactic moment so perfect. There is a reason Lara is considered a legend by millions. She has earned that title.
indeed... too long to return to Lara Fabian. resonance, tone, agility, performance, emotionalism... a real textbook case... welcome (back)... more Lara and you'll discover some amazing big treasures. thank you. take care of you.
I am fortunate Bethany to have two absolutely fabulous singers in Canada ! Lara and Celine ! Both are from the same generation and are so different in their styles ! Celine is more well known because of her iconic songs and Lara is I feel the more riveting stage performer ! I love them both but Lara's voice and delivery make her my favorite in that she touches my soul when she sings ! Absolutely world class and a diva in my heart ! Thank you Bethany as always for your expert breakdown and analysis of her vocals ! The little nuances that you hear really make me understand why vocal coaches love Lara so much ! Keep posting my friend you are so good and have a fabulous day ! 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
@@legitor513 Shania is an absolutely beautiful and talented singer songwriter ! I didn't forget about her but I was comparing these two comparable singers ! Shania is a few years older but a country legend for sure ! She was a true trailblazer for all the country stars today !
Talent doesn't matter when someone wants to make money, so the sharks of show business already invested in Celine Dion when Lara began performing in America, she was simply slowed down and sabotaged in the music market in America. Which of them I will not single out better, moreover, I will add Floor Jansen to these great singers, this is my personal top of wolf virtuosos and magnificent masters of singing.
@@sergeiivanovich6827 Good points for sure ! I agree everyone will have their favourites no matter what ! On a personal note my favorite Canadian singer songwriter now is Faouzia ! Moroccan born and raised in Canada ! She is an absolutely riveting and powerful young singer ! Internationally I love two young women Angelina Jordan at 17 now who has a jazz influenced background and has over 200 covers and originals ! She is Republic Recorded most protected and coveted young singer ! The other Diana Ankudinova a Russian singer who is vocally so unique and captivating ! Floor Jansen is a fantastic singer and I have listened to many vocal coaches reactions and she is a magnificent performer ! Thanks for your comment and have a great day !
Her pacing control on this song is amazing. She sings it kind of slow and makes you anticipate and want the next phrase before it comes. She's controlling the momentum and makes it build power with little crescendos, ornaments, register changes and vowel manipulations. Every transition has been analyzed and she has applied dozens of tiny changes to make it build at exactly the rate she wants it to. She must have spent months analyzing it and tweaking the vocal expressions until it was just right. There is nothing accidental here.
Ms. Lara is a daily vitamin for me..,I listen to her every day…I simply must, it’s the way and manner of how she sings. Her voice is extraordinary. There’s always one song I listen to more than one time each day😆. Today, it’s Llora ….simply stunning!!!👏👏👏🥰
What a great teaching session for your students. Lara is a masterclass in vocal perfection and your breakdown of her performance was excellent. Your students are very lucky for their choice of teacher.
I can't understand why alot are comparing Celine to lara or lara to Celine , lara is in another stratosphere and she is clean and classy , whereas the other female artists have to be half naked and satanic connotations in their acts , that's why lara is the Queen and she will never reach the heights that's she richly deserves because she obviously hasn't sold her soul to the devil as they say ❤❤
I love that you go all the way back and that you get so caught up in the music and have to go back several times during the song. Don't apologize! Seriously, it's why I'm here. You are very expressive and I enjoy watching your facial expressions and listining to what you have to say about the performance. Your diction is unique, and I enjoy it very much. You can thank English Teach KP for the diction comment, lol.
Props to the soundman who gives her the ability to do all the quiet, delicate things so beautifully and wraps her in a blanket of lushness, yet subtle and barely there. It's almost completely unnoticed until the delay effect after "(ada) gio".
Her performances are always so captivating I can't stop watching. Seeing the video just makes it even better because she is not just a great vocalist, she is a great performer as well.
Hello Ms. Bethany, it’s Sunday Mothersday 2023….I came across this, (your review) of my absolute favorite singer, performer, the great Ms. Fabian, again. I started to smile, and watched it again, still smiling, I thought of texting you again. You truly captivated me (again), explaining so much, and, you seem to truly appreciate Ms. Fabian’s artistry, AND her voice! Thank you again. I do hope you will review other songs. I can listen to you for a while dissecting the songs and performers…thank you again..,
I want so much that this woman comes on Tour to my Country! I'd not miss it in a million years. She's terribly underrated. She takes us on a journey, with our senses with every song, she tells a story and we not only listen but feel every detail in every note, in every breath. Just gorgeous, every song is a rainbow of emotions. We lost Whitney and now Celine has health problems too...we got Lara and a couple others left that still sing with feeling.
Anyone may like her style of music, or not, but NO ONE can deny that this is a woman with one of THE best voices in the world, and, every time Lara captures me even BEFORE she starts to sing. I know some people have already mentioned this, but besides the ABSOLUTELY PERFECT voice, everything you hear is completely calculated and controlled, Lara actually takes me to places no other singer can take me to. And you know what? I just LOVE that! She sings in many languages, and even though I may not understand all of them, when she sings, I am just gone to places I did not know existed.
You were SOOOO fun to watch listening and reacting to Lara. I can tell you were completely enthralled...as all of us were. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Your stunned silence for the first 2 verses and part of the chorus was remarkable. Your expression changes said everything. Don’t apologize for your comments. I can’t speak for everybody else but they’re why I’m here.
Oh we know who you mean, Bethany 😉. Both are amazing singers, and you never want to compare, despite very similar sounds/styles. I'm just happy we all get to watch everyone discover her through reactions like this one. Thank-you for revisiting Lara. Love to see more.
Hello Brittany. Thanks for this reaction. Do not stop your journey with Lara... there are so much amazing live performances to discover. Some are really unexpected and mooving. Je t'aime live in Paris in 2001 is a really good example...
It's a great song for a unique and incredible singer. Seeing it under your eyes and your analysis gives it even more impact. Seeing your emotions reflected off you as well. It was a beautiful sharing.
Muchas gracias por volver a Lara, la primera reacción a ella me gusto mucho y esta me encanto, muy hermosa reacción y análisis, por guiarme en cosas que hace y uno no nota. Lara es una extraordinaria artista.
I can stand to listen to Lara over who you are intimating. I never really thought the other artist was that good. Lara, on the other hand, speaks to the heart. ❤
I thank you for trying to keep an open mind. I am strongly of the opinion that Lara is not in competition with anyone. She is the perfect lady, gifted a most beautiful well developed and trained voice. However, in my own journey as a musician, and one who has not traveled the world to attend live performances, I have listened to many singers, vocalists, of many different genres... I cannot think of anyone who negotiates and navigates her way through a song in such uniquely skilled manner and giving facial physical expression in the way she does. Her entire performance each time, in my honest and humble opinion, is totally above the rest. She, right now, currently, is the Greatest Of All Time. My Queen. Lara Fabian. I truly like the way you handle your reaction and it is absolutely beautifully done.❤ Please, the above is just an opinion. That's all it is, an opinion😊
What you said at the end, thats how i feel about Dimash. I know many seem to love him so much, but for me he is just a technical guy but i sinply doesn't touch me at all. Lara however, pure emotion, so great.
I know, I feel similarly with regard to this now seemingly universally revered and beloved (within the performing arts realm)figure i.e., ''Dimash''...dude's singing/vocal gymnastics, by and large, leave me cold, though and believe me that is *not* due to some inclination on my part to _not_ want to respond more warmly.
@@muratomar6502 He can sing high notes, yeah, but thats it. No real emotion at all for me, like for example in this song : Morissette Amon - (Resignation)(Asia Song Festival 2018) ruclips.net/video/MZYv-lbkBjQ/видео.html
I'm totally agree with you. Singers now (and even before) sings with only one voice (the most of the time). But Lara can have multiple colours, she can be very strong and powerful but also very soft and fragile. She goes in high note but also in her low notes her voice can be warm or crystalline and various of other things like the dynamism with her power in her words or between the sentences. And that's one of the things that I like about her. Her work and her intelligence in her singing. The soul that she put in every songs that she sings.
I love your analysis but most of that, your face is so expressive... We live the same emotions as yours. Lara is amazing. Even if that's not what I use to listen to (more progressive rock of the 70's, far from that kind of music), she's so good, her voice is like a drog, and the way you react is a double reward. Thank you so much for your sensibility ❤
Thank you for making me understand amazing singing better. Lara Fabian so fantastic i had to fly to Tallin to check her out in october 2022. And boy she is still amazing. Never heard anything like her❤.❤❤
Lara not only sings she tells the story AND you feel the story and song. It is like you somehow know what the story the song writer wanted to tell what Lara sings.
I have adored Lara Fabian, all of her music, but definitely THIS song for YEARS and it's so nice to hear someone appreciate how incredible her vocals truly are!!!! I love this channel!!!!
Hi!!! We love Lara!! Great analysis! Thank you very much! And.. of course you're going to listen to it again! "I am singer"/Dimash/"Adagio". This performance was so good, Lara herself congratulated him and the rest is history. A whole bunch of duets the two of them. Greetings from Greece!!!!
Hi Bethany, Please go down the Lara Fabian "rabbit hole", she has many differently arranged songs & although she can speak & sing in various languages it is Italian that I love to hear her sing in the most. Btw, Dimash, (If you've heard of him), is a fan of Lara's & has had his dream come true by performing on stage with her -he was professional & amazing as expected! TY for your 'Reaction', I learn something new every time I watch a Vocal Coach so I'm grateful for that. 😁
Everyone can learn to sing. A lot of people can become excellent singers. Only a few can be top singers and performers on stage like Lara Fabian. Her storytelling, emotions and presence are the elements Dimash perused about Lara.
Hola hermosa saludos desde México 😁😉😘 Adoro a Lara es impresionante por eso Dimash la adora 😁😁 Excelente fuente de inspiración 😊😊 Deberías reaccionar y analizar la versión de esta canción de dimash en the singer 2017 te va a encantar 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I listen Lara for years now but discovering you and your perfect commentary while explaining perfectly what creates beautiful note it is perfection. Thank you. I learned a lot ❤
Thank you Bethany!!...The right word is Masterpieces!!.... Masterpiece the woman singing because she is beautiful... Masterpiece the performance because she is stunning singing Live...And Masterpiece your reaction because you have an incredible ear to hear to recognize a great Singer....Thank you!!
Here is a short list of suggestions to start a journey with Lara: Songs she wrote: • Adagio (english version) : ruclips.net/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/видео.html (covered among others by Dimash, Floor Jansen, Dame Shirley Bassey, Il Divo) • You are not from here (english): ruclips.net/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/видео.html • Broken Vow (english): ruclips.net/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/видео.html (covered by Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Morissette Amon, Katrina Velarde, Regine Velasquez, Cakra Khan, ….) • I guess I loved you (english): ruclips.net/video/EwI-HIfSyqU/видео.html • Je t'aime (french): ruclips.net/video/l826rlBOn9w/видео.html (covered by Polina Gagarina, Giula Falcone, …) • I am A-WA (english): ruclips.net/video/mKLdLox918A/видео.html When she covers a song, she often makes it her own. Some amazing covers she made: • Je suis malade (french, song from Serge Lama): ruclips.net/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/видео.html • Caruso (italian, song from Lucio Dalla): ruclips.net/video/BP2KnLemT78/видео.html • Perdere L'Amore (italian, song from Massimo Ranieri): ruclips.net/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/видео.html • Yentl Medley (Papa can you hear me + A piece of sky, chained , cover of her idol Barbra Streisand, english): ruclips.net/video/zW8lalHMwxk/видео.html • I will always love you (cover of Dolly Parton / Whitney Houston, english): ruclips.net/video/4f-wx-ue89U/видео.html • Love by grace (cover of Wynona Judd): ruclips.net/video/8V0pGXZxxzE/видео.html • Calling You (cover of Jevetta Steele): ruclips.net/video/KkfXEb_VyLM/видео.html
Parmi les chansons qu elle a écrites, il y en a 1 que j aime particulièrement: Je me souviens. Ca n'est pas la plus connue mais je crois qu elle mérite plus d attention, qu en penses tu?
Με eric θέλω να σας ευχαριστήσω για τις πληροφορίες πού αφορούν την θεά τής ερμηνείας πού λέγεται Λάρα. Παρ όλο πού έχω ασχοληθεί πολύ με την μουσική, καί σάν dj επαγγελματικά, άργησα να την συναντήσω.φυσικα από τότε μετά τό σοκ , βρίσκεται στήν ψυχή μου καί στην καρδιά μου.
@@spirossofianossisko Efkaristo, my friend. Just to check: of course, you know the duets she made with Mario Frangoulis during his concert in Athens? I am quite sure you know it but wanted to double check just in case...
V!, I'm a gymnast and as I watch them on tv my muscle memory is contracting and clenching with each move they execute in a routine. I see that same muscle contraction in your face, it is not a memory movement that you are executing but the movement as you feel it in your soul, how your soul would sing with hers. It's a pleasure to watch someone react that understands what her soul is feeling, and feels it in return
And in this music you can see everything that Lara influenced on Dimash, as she is his greatest idol (+ Michael Jackson). The way she uses the lows and highs so close, with perfect transition... her air sustain is flawless. Her belts... her acting... everything she did was so smooth. Another influence is that she sings in more than 10 languages too. She is perfect 🥰.
Yes, more more more… 😊 Let me start by saying I’ve loved listening to Celine since the beginning of the 90’s (and especially her french albums are the best). However, when I discovered Lara in the late 90’s (listening mostly to her Italian songs in the beginning) I was stunned. Not even Celine is able to communicate emotions through Music the way Lara can… You must listen to Caruso and perhaps one of my favourites (but not often recommended) Llora…
I loved how you at the end you listened to it the 2nd time and I was expecting to hear your analysis only to see you listening through the end twice :D
TY sooo much for this. Your knowledge (and enthusiasm) is awesome and contagious. Our then young Queen wrote the words to this classical piece and then gives here a spinetingling performance. If Lara could bring her smell into the performance for the audience, she would. She uses everything. All intentional, all executed at masterclass level. She uses more vocal techniques in a single phrase than many famous pop singers use in whole song, a night....or a lifetime. Effortless... Everything. Seems. Effortless. For me, Lara is both an O.G., and the GOAT, of this style of music. She is the Queen, my Queen, our Queen...long may she reign.
Her other iconic song is called Broken Vow. Many have done cover versions of it. But, Lara's original version that she wrote the lyrics to has made grown men cry on RUclips. Those videos are still up.
I was surprised you didn’t come back to her earlier. It appears the staff of Celine D…, the name you don’t want to say, was the reason Sony, their common record company, abruptly stopped promoting Lara ( she was promoted initially as the new Barbra or the new Celine, she didn’t like it) and she had to refocus on Europe, where she became a legend and inspiration for many vocalists of the new generation. Don’t forget she is also a songwriter in 4 languages: she co-wrote this english version and wrote solely the italian version. She has written gems covered later by Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban. Adagio for example was covered by Dimash ( he is her absolute fan and made many covers), Floor Jansen, Shirley Bassey, Il Divo, Polina Gagarina, Rimar, … She is known as The Ring or the queen of resonance. I will post a few more comments: background of the creation of Adagio, songs recommendations and more details about Lara
I read the label pushed her into dance music so as not to compete with Celine. Thanks for nothing Celine, who I don't care for, as I first heard about Lara when Jackie Evancho recorded a new version of one of her songs, Imaginer (a rewriting the Broken Vow) around 2011. By the way, Lara suffered severe ear and hearing damage about 10 years ago when an inexperienced studio technician blasted her ear monitors with a high level of sound. It knocked her down and she had to go to the emergency room. For more information, search for: Lara's Recent Ear Injury
@@fredbloggs6080 i know this and she was curated by canadian army using special pressure box they designed for divers that had accident at big depth under water
@@fredbloggs6080 yes she recovered almost fully her hearing capabilities and she has found workarounds to deal with the remaining gap. About her recovery process, she explained in an interview to BFM TV( a french news channel) in 2015 that the treatment was intense and did include drips and hyperbaric chamber in a military hospital. I cannot send you the link as it’s external and my comment would be auto deleted by YT I cooy below some excerpts from this interview in French: Victime d'un accident auditif en mai 2013 en studio, la chanteuse a ensuite été prise d'une surdité brusque à la suite d'un concert à Dijon. Après de longs mois d'absence dus à sa convalescence, Lara Fabian prépare actuellement son retour avec Ma vie dans la tienne, un nouvel album dont la sortie est prévue pour le 6 novembre prochain. Un disque dans lequel elle évoque son combat contre le silence. "J'ai pleuré ma race!" De cet accident, la chanteuse assure qu'il ne s'agit désormais que d'un "très mauvais souvenir": "J'étais sourde carrément. J'ai été soumise à un silence total à la maison. Ni voiture, ni train, ni avion. Les supermarchés, les klaxons, c'était insupportable!", confie-t-elle au Parisien. Aujourd'hui, les derniers résultats sont rassurants: "Mon audition est quasiment revenue comme avant", affirme la chanteuse. Toutefois, la route fut longue avant d'en arriver là: "J'ai été soumise à un traitement colossal, mise sous perfusion, dans un caisson hyperbare dans un hôpital militaire", se souvient-elle. "J'ai dû tout réapprendre. Ce n'est revenu que progressivement, grâce à ma professeur de chant. J'ai pleuré ma race! Avec un tel problème, tu t'aperçois que tu es indéfiniment humaine, fragile", avoue-t-elle.
I love this song and I loved your analysis of it. Your point regarding the notes that some voices are able to make beautiful, as a result of the peculiarities of the individual has really gotten me thinking. Thank you for this.
SHE certainly out sings both Barbra & Celine who are both wonderful artists..., but she just takes things to a new high artistically! Wow!!!
Yes!!!
When Lara appears on stage, it's art. When Lara speaks, it's art. When Lara moves, it's art. When Lara cries, it's art. When Lara moves, it's art. When Lara sings, it's magic.
Oops I said moves twice.
Yay to that!
@@hornerinf I've heard she's a rubbish painter 😉
@@Ozymandi_as But she's a master in the kitchen, LOL!
One of the most underrated female vocalists
Celine sings with a pure voice, Lara sings with Pure and Emotional Voice, Celine sings wonderful, beautiful for your ears,
Lara sings Beautiful for your Ears and Heart, I feel hear in my chest, my heart cries with her.
that's the only way I can explain it. ❤❤❤❤💖💖
I'm pretty sure Lara is the best singer in the entire universe. She's absolutely magical. ❤
good remarks
Nailed it!
Lara Fabian 🎙️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤗🥰 for me…this woman is The Greatest Female singer I’ve ever heard…😮
Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸
yes she is My favorite performer wow. and to say she lives at about 40 min from wherte i am in Montreal .
At 89 yrs. old I finally got to see and hear Lara, OMG, now I can die in peace. That was on my bucket list. From Florida to Ottawa. Amen
Lara sings with her entire body.
She involves her eyebrows, her teeth and her hands help with placement of each note and breath.
Even her hair has an accompanying effect to her story telling. It’s all magic!
Agree 100%!
Dimash too!
Yes!
The whole concert is a masterpiece!
Yes, it's great, but Lara's real masterpiece is „En toute intimité“ ruclips.net/video/NMHym4N4UXo/видео.html .It’s Lara's favorite concert and also for most of her fans.
Lara is the greatest singer I have ever heard.
This version is the best and cannot be surpassed. She owns this song.
Which btw is one of the most beautiful songs that exist for me, of course the melodies coming from the famous Adagio of Albinoni
She’s done other performances of that song that are literally just as good, you guys just don’t know them 🙂
@@laratheringfabian I mean her version compared to other singers, not this particular take
Celine entertains me… Lara moves me to tears.
Her version of Caruso by Lucio Dalla is captivating. Her Italian is impeccable. ❤
This is because it’s her first native language, even before french. While born in Belgium, she spent the first 5-7 years mostly in Catane, Sicilia, in her mother family.
Impeccable indeed, the Only way it could be sung….👏👏👏👏👍☺️👏👏👏👏
Yes her mother was Italien
The 1st time I heard Lara's Adagio, I could feel her magical voice and emotions under my skin and they remained in my heart and my soul ever since. Thank you for your great reaction to Lara Fabian.
Lara is the best I’ve ever seen. I’m no pro but when a singer consistently brings me to tears just with the perfection, emotion and total performance .. well, this stuff transcends other artists efforts ... and there are many, many great artists out there. So, many colours ... Lara is top of the shelf! I’d give my right arm to be in that audience, that close to greatness.
As a listener who doesn't understand much music, I had to watch a lot, and I want to say that the most beautiful thing I saw was your precise detailing of every note and Lara's singing technique. It's a miracle. You make me love her even more
Although you didn't mention the name, I completely agree 😊Celine is technically amazing but her variety, tone, storytelling, emoting AND risk-taking doesn't come close to Lara. It's formulaic vs organic and if you have a heart the latter just resonates more.
I think only some French songs of Celine came close to that emotion, English for her is too technical
And I hate hearing how “that” other singer’s management (a/k/a husband) sabotaged Lara’s chances in the U.S. with foul sportsmanship/management threats.
Celine is MUCH more than Fabian will ever be. Much more creative and daring, not to mention engaging. Boring vanilla Fabian could never
@@lizatsurkan4323 - I am not professional musician and not even musically educated. So my honest opinion about CD. She is poor artist (I mean in creation art out of human experience), she is mediocre singer (I mean words are for her mainly as instrument to express her singing technique) and (last but not least for her) technically superb (one can say great) vocalist. And even vocally there is so much more going on by Lara (as our reactor says).
@@margusmagi6703 whatever helps you sleep at night. Still doesn’t make it true
No singer LIVES a song as completely as Lara and very few singers are as good live as they are in the studio ........... Lara is actually better live than on tape AND she has a unique ability to make each and every audience member feel as though she is singing only for them - The Ultimate Artist !
This is a woman's voice . . . powerful, experienced, confident, & emotional. Not a 20-something pop singer. Such absolute beauty. I could listen to Lara all day.
Thanks for the reaction to Lara Fabian. I have followed her since the 90's. She was never given a fair chance in the states, but she became an international star. She has a way of telling us a story with her songs. Very emotional for me when she sings.
I'm no expert. But, and correct me if I'm wrong. There are many great singers. They hit all the right notes. They do all the right things. I think the difference between them and Lara is that she is the definition of "performance art". Every performance.
Your comment is well taken. However, there is a real difference between her absolute technical mastery and most other popular 'great' singers'. Her control & the skill toolbox she has to choose from are enormous. Her uncanny ability to know what would be the most emotionally resonant choices at the level of phrase, word, consonant/vowel and the technical chops to carry out her decisions with utter ease - that package is what makes her unique imo.
More information on Lara Fabian:
Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, ....
In my personal opinion, she is even the best.
There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register.
So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence:
• she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total
• she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer.
• she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none
• she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens.
A quick background on her and her career:
She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both french and italian as native languages.
She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory.
She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today.
She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada.
She now lives in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship
She became very famous there and then conquered France in 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music).
In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US.
This concert is legendary and the song you just reviewed is from this concert.
But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan.
She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance.
She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then.
Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban, …
With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there.
Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her.
She is Dimash's idol:
I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep.
He covered many of her songs, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara.
Out of my mind I can list:
○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer),
○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer),
○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version)
○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know")
She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love".
And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva).
Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida.
Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara.
Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it.
Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration:
○ Floor Jansen (Adagio),
○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime),
○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie, Ascolta la Voce),
○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow),
○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace),
○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow),
○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow),
○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow),
○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime),
○ Forestella (Je suis Malade),
○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow),
○ Julie Anne san Jose (Broken Vow),
○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know),
○ Il Divo (Adagio)
○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you),
○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow)
○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso),
○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie),
○ Amir (Je t’aime),
○ Vitas (Adagio)
○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio),
○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade),
○ Majda Roumi (Adagio),
○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow),
○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you)
○ ....
NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version.
Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature.
In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular.
Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
No se diga más, ella es una artista de otro mundo, no hay palabras para describir tanto talento. Maravilloso Eric.
I have read most of this before but you can never write too much about her. Thank you for posting this. Everyone should know Lara Fabian. She has aged like fine wine and in more recent years songs, like je t’aime for instance, are even better than her earlier versions.
Thank you. Very informative.
Thank you for letting know people the real story about Lara. Too many people praise other singers like Celine Dion as the best, but deep down in their heart, I am sure they know Lara is way far better in every single little details, but will never admit it ❤
@@manonpatry6531 keep your delusions to yourself Celine is much more than boring vanilla Fabian
Her voice makes everyone want to be Adagio!
She's an awesome singer, she builds the song, and you don't think it can get any-better, then she blows it apart.
Agree 1,000% with everything you have highlighted regarding Lara Fabian's sensation live performance! 😍 I would also add that, as a middle-aged American man, I'm not the least bit embarrassed to confess that tears well up in my eyes EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch Lara Fabian's monumental live performance of Adagio. The way I see things....Lara Fabian shares much in common with the Israeli-American solo violinist - Itzhak Perlman; the virtuoso who made his Carnegie Hall debut performing Wieniawski's Violin Concerto No. 1 in 1963 and won the Leventritt Competition in 1964. However, instead of playing an $10M Stradivari violin in concert - as Itzhak Perlman does - Lara Fabian brings to the stage the incredible vocal talent and singing ability God endowed her with.
ok it's been another year since this reaction. I think it's time to listen to another ..... Caruso from Lara. :)
I have a confession! The main reason I subscribed to your channel is YOUR SMILE! But your reaction to the singers is great too, but your smile is just enchanting.
This song was properly arranged in the right key for her voice. Then, throwing in the transpose in the middle of that extended note made the climactic moment so perfect. There is a reason Lara is considered a legend by millions. She has earned that title.
Amazing this woman. I love her voice and her presence ❤
The final exhale at the end was so powerful & meaningful.
I love Lara so much! I have been listening to her for almost 30 years now. Amazing!
Caruso and You are not from here from Lara is a must after this perfect reaction🎉🥳😎 you are great 🔥 keep more coming from Lara 🥂
indeed... too long to return to Lara Fabian. resonance, tone, agility, performance, emotionalism... a real textbook case... welcome (back)... more Lara and you'll discover some amazing big treasures. thank you. take care of you.
Very nice reaction to one of the greatest singer of all time: Lara Fabian.
She makes my heart soar!
WOOOOOO Lara! Thanks for the reaction. I'm always floored with how much she has going on in every one of her performances.
I am fortunate Bethany to have two absolutely fabulous singers in Canada ! Lara and Celine ! Both are from the same generation and are so different in their styles ! Celine is more well known because of her iconic songs and Lara is I feel the more riveting stage performer ! I love them both but Lara's voice and delivery make her my favorite in that she touches my soul when she sings ! Absolutely world class and a diva in my heart ! Thank you Bethany as always for your expert breakdown and analysis of her vocals ! The little nuances that you hear really make me understand why vocal coaches love Lara so much ! Keep posting my friend you are so good and have a fabulous day ! 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
and Shanya...
@@legitor513 Shania is an absolutely beautiful and talented singer songwriter ! I didn't forget about her but I was comparing these two comparable singers ! Shania is a few years older but a country legend for sure ! She was a true trailblazer for all the country stars today !
Talent doesn't matter when someone wants to make money, so the sharks of show business already invested in Celine Dion when Lara began performing in America, she was simply slowed down and sabotaged in the music market in America. Which of them I will not single out better, moreover, I will add Floor Jansen to these great singers, this is my personal top of wolf virtuosos and magnificent masters of singing.
i agree
@@sergeiivanovich6827 Good points for sure ! I agree everyone will have their favourites no matter what ! On a personal note my favorite Canadian singer songwriter now is Faouzia ! Moroccan born and raised in Canada ! She is an absolutely riveting and powerful young singer ! Internationally I love two young women Angelina Jordan at 17 now who has a jazz influenced background and has over 200 covers and originals ! She is Republic Recorded most protected and coveted young singer ! The other Diana Ankudinova a Russian singer who is vocally so unique and captivating ! Floor Jansen is a fantastic singer and I have listened to many vocal coaches reactions and she is a magnificent performer ! Thanks for your comment and have a great day !
Her pacing control on this song is amazing. She sings it kind of slow and makes you anticipate and want the next phrase before it comes. She's controlling the momentum and makes it build power with little crescendos, ornaments, register changes and vowel manipulations. Every transition has been analyzed and she has applied dozens of tiny changes to make it build at exactly the rate she wants it to. She must have spent months analyzing it and tweaking the vocal expressions until it was just right. There is nothing accidental here.
Ms. Lara is a daily vitamin for me..,I listen to her every day…I simply must, it’s the way and manner of how she sings. Her voice is extraordinary.
There’s always one song I listen to more than one time each day😆. Today, it’s Llora ….simply stunning!!!👏👏👏🥰
What a great teaching session for your students. Lara is a masterclass in vocal perfection and your breakdown of her performance was excellent. Your students are very lucky for their choice of teacher.
I can't understand why alot are comparing Celine to lara or lara to Celine , lara is in another stratosphere and she is clean and classy , whereas the other female artists have to be half naked and satanic connotations in their acts , that's why lara is the Queen and she will never reach the heights that's she richly deserves because she obviously hasn't sold her soul to the devil as they say ❤❤
No devil - Lara is just more talented.
Thanks reacting and analyzing Lara. Next one is a must: Broken Vow a Lara's wonderful original song
I love that you go all the way back and that you get so caught up in the music and have to go back several times during the song. Don't apologize! Seriously, it's why I'm here. You are very expressive and I enjoy watching your facial expressions and listining to what you have to say about the performance. Your diction is unique, and I enjoy it very much. You can thank English Teach KP for the diction comment, lol.
Agree, agree and agree.
Props to the soundman who gives her the ability to do all the quiet, delicate things so beautifully and wraps her in a blanket of lushness, yet subtle and barely there. It's almost completely unnoticed until the delay effect after "(ada) gio".
Her performances are always so captivating I can't stop watching. Seeing the video just makes it even better because she is not just a great vocalist, she is a great performer as well.
Please react to her singing Caruso. It’s breath taking 🥰
Hello Ms. Bethany, it’s Sunday Mothersday 2023….I came across this, (your review) of my absolute favorite singer, performer, the great Ms. Fabian, again. I started to smile, and watched it again, still smiling, I thought of texting you again. You truly captivated me (again), explaining so much, and, you seem to truly appreciate Ms. Fabian’s artistry, AND her voice! Thank you again. I do hope you will review other songs. I can listen to you for a while dissecting the songs and performers…thank you again..,
I want so much that this woman comes on Tour to my Country! I'd not miss it in a million years. She's terribly underrated. She takes us on a journey, with our senses with every song, she tells a story and we not only listen but feel every detail in every note, in every breath. Just gorgeous, every song is a rainbow of emotions. We lost Whitney and now Celine has health problems too...we got Lara and a couple others left that still sing with feeling.
also be sure to listen to Caruso, since Lara is half Italian, this song is sung so beautifully
Anyone may like her style of music, or not, but NO ONE can deny that this is a woman with one of THE best voices in the world, and, every time Lara captures me even BEFORE she starts to sing. I know some people have already mentioned this, but besides the ABSOLUTELY PERFECT voice, everything you hear is completely calculated and controlled, Lara actually takes me to places no other singer can take me to. And you know what? I just LOVE that! She sings in many languages, and even though I may not understand all of them, when she sings, I am just gone to places I did not know existed.
You were SOOOO fun to watch listening and reacting to Lara. I can tell you were completely enthralled...as all of us were. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
I don't think it gets any better than that.....loved your reactions
Your stunned silence for the first 2 verses and part of the chorus was remarkable. Your expression changes said everything. Don’t apologize for your comments. I can’t speak for everybody else but they’re why I’m here.
Oh we know who you mean, Bethany 😉. Both are amazing singers, and you never want to compare, despite very similar sounds/styles. I'm just happy we all get to watch everyone discover her through reactions like this one. Thank-you for revisiting Lara. Love to see more.
Hello Brittany. Thanks for this reaction. Do not stop your journey with Lara... there are so much amazing live performances to discover. Some are really unexpected and mooving. Je t'aime live in Paris in 2001 is a really good example...
It's a great song for a unique and incredible singer.
Seeing it under your eyes and your analysis gives it even more impact. Seeing your emotions reflected off you as well.
It was a beautiful sharing.
Muchas gracias por volver a Lara, la primera reacción a ella me gusto mucho y esta me encanto, muy hermosa reacción y análisis, por guiarme en cosas que hace y uno no nota. Lara es una extraordinaria artista.
I can stand to listen to Lara over who you are intimating. I never really thought the other artist was that good. Lara, on the other hand, speaks to the heart. ❤
I thank you for trying to keep an open mind.
I am strongly of the opinion that Lara is not in competition with anyone. She is the perfect lady, gifted a most beautiful well developed and trained voice. However, in my own journey as a musician, and one who has not traveled the world to attend live performances, I have listened to many singers, vocalists, of many different genres... I cannot think of anyone who negotiates and navigates her way through a song in such uniquely skilled manner and giving facial physical expression in the way she does. Her entire performance each time, in my honest and humble opinion, is totally above the rest. She, right now, currently, is the Greatest Of All Time. My Queen. Lara Fabian.
I truly like the way you handle your reaction and it is absolutely beautifully done.❤ Please, the above is just an opinion. That's all it is, an opinion😊
What you said at the end, thats how i feel about Dimash. I know many seem to love him so much, but for me he is just a technical guy but i sinply doesn't touch me at all. Lara however, pure emotion, so great.
I know, I feel similarly with regard to this now seemingly universally revered and beloved (within the performing arts realm)figure i.e., ''Dimash''...dude's singing/vocal gymnastics, by and large, leave me cold, though and believe me that is *not* due to some inclination on my part to _not_ want to respond more warmly.
For me Dimash is an overrated circus act. Lara is a mastersinger and artist.
Doesn't touch you?? What about Autumn Strong...?
@@muratomar6502 He can sing high notes, yeah, but thats it. No real emotion at all for me, like for example in this song :
Morissette Amon - (Resignation)(Asia Song Festival 2018)
ruclips.net/video/MZYv-lbkBjQ/видео.html
@@beldin2987 Well, Dimash has low notes too and even middle notes... You probably haven't listened to him much
Looking forward to more reaction from you to Lara's songs. I second Eric Sicard's list!!!
I'm totally agree with you. Singers now (and even before) sings with only one voice (the most of the time). But Lara can have multiple colours, she can be very strong and powerful but also very soft and fragile. She goes in high note but also in her low notes her voice can be warm or crystalline and various of other things like the dynamism with her power in her words or between the sentences. And that's one of the things that I like about her. Her work and her intelligence in her singing. The soul that she put in every songs that she sings.
I love your analysis but most of that, your face is so expressive... We live the same emotions as yours.
Lara is amazing. Even if that's not what I use to listen to (more progressive rock of the 70's, far from that kind of music), she's so good, her voice is like a drog, and the way you react is a double reward.
Thank you so much for your sensibility ❤
Thank you for making me understand amazing singing better. Lara Fabian so fantastic i had to fly to Tallin to check her out in october 2022. And boy she is still amazing. Never heard anything like her❤.❤❤
Lara not only sings she tells the story AND you feel the story and song. It is like you somehow know what the story the song writer wanted to tell what Lara sings.
finally one more from Lara
I love how much you love her. I'm convinced she is the best singer in the entire universe. Please react to more Lara. ❤
I have adored Lara Fabian, all of her music, but definitely THIS song for YEARS and it's so nice to hear someone appreciate how incredible her vocals truly are!!!! I love this channel!!!!
Hi!!! We love Lara!! Great analysis! Thank you very much! And.. of course you're going to listen to it again! "I am singer"/Dimash/"Adagio". This performance was so good, Lara herself congratulated him and the rest is history. A whole bunch of duets the two of them. Greetings from Greece!!!!
Hi Bethany,
Please go down the Lara Fabian "rabbit hole", she has many differently arranged songs & although she can speak & sing in various languages it is Italian that I love to hear her sing in the most.
Btw, Dimash, (If you've heard of him), is a fan of Lara's & has had his dream come true by performing on stage with her -he was professional & amazing as expected!
TY for your 'Reaction', I learn something new every time I watch a Vocal Coach so I'm grateful for that. 😁
All this year I watch all reactor to almost all of the singers world wide what I notice your a genuine person I saw.
Incredible performance. And that breathe in the end gets me every time. Please react to Caruso from the same concert.
There is a sensuality in her voice which totally captivates and engulfs you. She is phenomenal.
Lara, é Maravilhosa!
Thanks for react!
Fantástica reacción 💚💚💚
Hola. Felicidades por tú trabajo y compartir tus conocimientos. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
This is perfection. And your critique is wonderful. Thank you for the education! And you don’t have to apologize in your videos!!
Everyone can learn to sing.
A lot of people can become excellent singers.
Only a few can be top singers and performers on stage like Lara Fabian.
Her storytelling, emotions and presence are the elements Dimash perused about Lara.
One of the best performances of all time
Hola hermosa saludos desde México 😁😉😘
Adoro a Lara es impresionante por eso Dimash la adora 😁😁
Excelente fuente de inspiración 😊😊
Deberías reaccionar y analizar la versión de esta canción de dimash en the singer 2017 te va a encantar 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I listen Lara for years now but discovering you and your perfect commentary while explaining perfectly what creates beautiful note it is perfection. Thank you. I learned a lot ❤
Thank you Bethany!!...The right word is Masterpieces!!.... Masterpiece the woman singing because she is beautiful... Masterpiece the performance because she is stunning singing Live...And Masterpiece your reaction because you have an incredible ear to hear to recognize a great Singer....Thank you!!

@@spirossofianossisko Efkaristo, my friend. Just to check: of course, you know the duets she made with Mario Frangoulis during his concert in Athens? I am quite sure you know it but wanted to double check just in case...
@@legitor513 Music by Jeremie Jouniaux, it is superb and actually her homage to how Canadians made her one of their own.
V!, I'm a gymnast and as I watch them on tv my muscle memory is contracting and clenching with each move they execute in a routine. I see that same muscle contraction in your face, it is not a memory movement that you are executing but the movement as you feel it in your soul, how your soul would sing with hers. It's a pleasure to watch someone react that understands what her soul is feeling, and feels it in return
grazie per questo bellissimo video
Thanks for this great reaction
And in this music you can see everything that Lara influenced on Dimash, as she is his greatest idol (+ Michael Jackson). The way she uses the lows and highs so close, with perfect transition... her air sustain is flawless. Her belts... her acting... everything she did was so smooth. Another influence is that she sings in more than 10 languages too. She is perfect 🥰.
Yes, more more more… 😊
Let me start by saying I’ve loved listening to Celine since the beginning of the 90’s (and especially her french albums are the best). However, when I discovered Lara in the late 90’s (listening mostly to her Italian songs in the beginning) I was stunned. Not even Celine is able to communicate emotions through Music the way Lara can…
You must listen to Caruso and perhaps one of my favourites (but not often recommended) Llora…
I loved how you at the end you listened to it the 2nd time and I was expecting to hear your analysis only to see you listening through the end twice :D
Lara is a World Star and she will remain so forever!!!!
love love love your reaction and analysis, very detailed. thanks for your reaction and analysis 💖
TY sooo much for this. Your knowledge (and enthusiasm) is awesome and contagious. Our then young Queen wrote the words to this classical piece and then gives here a spinetingling performance. If Lara could bring her smell into the performance for the audience, she would. She uses everything. All intentional, all executed at masterclass level. She uses more vocal techniques in a single phrase than many famous pop singers use in whole song, a night....or a lifetime. Effortless... Everything. Seems. Effortless. For me, Lara is both an O.G., and the GOAT, of this style of music. She is the Queen, my Queen, our Queen...long may she reign.
An overwhelming voice! :0
thank you. love Lara's voice and singing style. she had a number with Dimash ( who idolizes her)
Her other iconic song is called Broken Vow. Many have done cover versions of it. But, Lara's original version that she wrote the lyrics to has made grown men cry on RUclips. Those videos are still up.
I have rarely seen you so focused. 😊 She took your heart as well she has taken mine. 😍 Thank you for sharing this one ❤️
I was surprised you didn’t come back to her earlier.
It appears the staff of Celine D…, the name you don’t want to say, was the reason Sony, their common record company, abruptly stopped promoting Lara ( she was promoted initially as the new Barbra or the new Celine, she didn’t like it) and she had to refocus on Europe, where she became a legend and inspiration for many vocalists of the new generation.
Don’t forget she is also a songwriter in 4 languages: she co-wrote this english version and wrote solely the italian version. She has written gems covered later by Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban.
Adagio for example was covered by Dimash ( he is her absolute fan and made many covers), Floor Jansen, Shirley Bassey, Il Divo, Polina Gagarina, Rimar, …
She is known as The Ring or the queen of resonance.
I will post a few more comments: background of the creation of Adagio, songs recommendations and more details about Lara
Επιτέλους κε Eric πολλά μπράβο γιατί λέτε την αλήθεια για την υπερτιμημένη celin από το μουσικό κύκλωμα καί τό σαμποτάζ στήν Λάρα
I read the label pushed her into dance music so as not to compete with Celine. Thanks for nothing Celine, who I don't care for, as I first heard about Lara when Jackie Evancho recorded a new version of one of her songs, Imaginer (a rewriting the Broken Vow) around 2011.
By the way, Lara suffered severe ear and hearing damage about 10 years ago when an inexperienced studio technician blasted her ear monitors with a high level of sound. It knocked her down and she had to go to the emergency room. For more information, search for: Lara's Recent Ear Injury
@@fredbloggs6080 i know this and she was curated by canadian army using special pressure box they designed for divers that had accident at big depth under water
@@ericsicard910 You mean she was cured by the Canadian Army special pressure box? Did she regain her full hearing? Where can I read about that?
@@fredbloggs6080 yes she recovered almost fully her hearing capabilities and she has found workarounds to deal with the remaining gap.
About her recovery process, she explained in an interview to BFM TV( a french news channel) in 2015 that the treatment was intense and did include drips and hyperbaric chamber in a military hospital.

I cooy below some excerpts from this interview in French:
Victime d'un accident auditif en mai 2013 en studio, la chanteuse a ensuite été prise d'une surdité brusque à la suite d'un concert à Dijon. Après de longs mois d'absence dus à sa convalescence, Lara Fabian prépare actuellement son retour avec Ma vie dans la tienne, un nouvel album dont la sortie est prévue pour le 6 novembre prochain. Un disque dans lequel elle évoque son combat contre le silence.
"J'ai pleuré ma race!"
De cet accident, la chanteuse assure qu'il ne s'agit désormais que d'un "très mauvais souvenir": "J'étais sourde carrément. J'ai été soumise à un silence total à la maison. Ni voiture, ni train, ni avion. Les supermarchés, les klaxons, c'était insupportable!", confie-t-elle au Parisien. Aujourd'hui, les derniers résultats sont rassurants: "Mon audition est quasiment revenue comme avant", affirme la chanteuse. Toutefois, la route fut longue avant d'en arriver là: "J'ai été soumise à un traitement colossal, mise sous perfusion, dans un caisson hyperbare dans un hôpital militaire", se souvient-elle. "J'ai dû tout réapprendre. Ce n'est revenu que progressivement, grâce à ma professeur de chant. J'ai pleuré ma race! Avec un tel problème, tu t'aperçois que tu es indéfiniment humaine, fragile", avoue-t-elle.
I love this song and I loved your analysis of it. Your point regarding the notes that some voices are able to make beautiful, as a result of the peculiarities of the individual has really gotten me thinking. Thank you for this.
Lara herself wrote the text to a existing classical Adagio, and after that more artists are bringing it; she is so great!
Now we are Know why Dimash Adore her ... Lara Is Magnificent
