Sir Hairless, Commend you for learning their names so fast. Your reaction was very informative and moving too. It’s great that you took the time to watch Lara and Serge’s version before analyzing Forestella’s version. Hope to see you react to many more Forestella performances. You bring a different perspective and I love it. 👏
My mother was an accordionist and maybe that's why I love this particular arrangement of the song. For me, Forestella's cover is the best version, so much pain, passion, despair! Thank you Sir.
Totally agree! Best group in the world! No other group has their versatility and perfection. Most of forestella performances are live as well. Performed at competitions. ❤️
I smiled with joy and I also cried a lot during this performance. That’s what it deserves. I’m with you. A very beautiful performance by Forestella, a delight.
Please don't EVER be embarrassed by such a reaction to art of any kind. You are validating the artist and the music. That's a wonderful thing, and I'm sure any artist would tell you it means the world to them when people are so immersed and invested in their creation.
Merci pour cette réaction. Cette chanson est magnifique et leur prononciation du français est très bonne. Je suis française et je comprends tous leurs mots. Tu devrais écouter leur version de "the sound of silence. Hello from France.
I love your raw emotional reactions. I love both Lara's performance and Forestella's. I have two songs to recommend by Forestella. Hijo De La Luna and Bohemian Rapsody. Thanks again for another fabulous reaction!!! ✌️❤️
I've rewatched this performance hundreds of times and I get goosebumps every time I hear the first word sang by Dohoon "malade".. and the emotion he delivers is crazy!
It is just simply a spectacular performance. For me, Bae Doo-Hoon's delivery ramped up the emotion. 😭 This is my favourite Forestella Performance, as it moves me every single time. Their Bohemian Rhapsody, Shape of You, Bad Romance, Despacito, Lazenca Save us, and Time in a Bottle are stunning. Their language skills on show too. The Counter Tenor (Kang Hyung-Ho) is interesting as he was a Research Chemist, who sang in a Rock Band, part time. He had NO formal vocal training, prior to the show creating Forestella. Beautiful Reaction. Thank you.
Beautiful reaction, thank you so much! I'm a big fan of Forestella and Dimash, and like your reactions very much. if I may suggest Utopia from Forestella, it's their original song, not a cover.
Loved your reaction and analysis of this phenomenal performance! Also very happy to see that you've learned the members' names! There's so much more to explore, such as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Nella Fantasia," "Maldita Sea mi Suerte," and "Hijo de la Luna."
and this is Cho Mingyu's audition, performing Be My Love from the Toast of New Orleans. ruclips.net/video/T9IE4v1D9GE/видео.html The jury were simply in awe. He consistently got great reviews from the jury members throughout the show and he sort of became a national sensation not only for his voice but also because he systematically chose his partners very wisely (he literally hand-picked the members of Forestella hehe) and he also gave technique lessons to less experienced singers. There is footage from the show of him teaching Ko Woorim (who later became the the bass of Forestella) how to properly drop his jaw and how to sing in Italian :) (Woorim was still very young when he applied, he was still in university)
Always tears...always emotional tears from this definite emotional offering from FORESTELLA! Their harmonies and angelic voices bring forth that reaction. Just incredible! Please don't apologize for those emotional reactions. It's just not possible to not react...it just carries you heavenward on those powerful notes!!!
Wonderful singers great reaction. the audience was made up of the other quartets that competed in Phantom Singer series 1, 2 and 3 and some judges during Covid all technically great in their own right so it was fabulous to see their emotional reactions again. I cried every time I hear this version of the song. Love your technical breakdowns in particular. Forestella are the most diverse group covering everything from classical to k pop (Specially done for the fans after a promise made). Their originals must be watched in order as a trilogy. Save our Lives, Utopia and White Nights. My favorites Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody. You might enjoy listening to the counter tenor / rock Kang Hyungho singing his version of Phantom of the Opera (He sings both parts!) and Cho Mingyu version of balada para un loco. Hope you reaction to another Forestella song soon.
Really nice analysis & reaction, interesting the back-to-back of Forestella and Lara Fabian.. I’m new to both, appreciated both, and am pulled between them both, but I think I lean toward the harmonies in the Forestella version, if I absolutely had to choose. But it’s a close call indeed.
Wonderful!!! I love your emotional reaction. There is so much more to explore. I want to recommend Forestella's songs, not a cover. "White Night" "Utopia" "Save our Lives" "Snow Globe"
Felicitaciones por esta reaccion, me gusto muchos que pusueran subtitulos en español..... Los sentimientos que provocan con esta cancion son increibles y es bueno entenderlos de edta forma. Gracias 😊😊😊
Great reaction and very well explained! I do believe that they're angels, if not the best quartet ever...🤍 They've covered a plethora of songs and have original songs as well, so it's very difficult to recommend just a few!! ✨ But maybe you would like to listen to: Angel, Nella Fantasia, Bohemian Rhapsody, White Night and Moonlight! 🪽 They always convey so much emotion that is breathtaking. Though, I have to say that Bae Dohoon and Cho Mingyu were absolutely incredible in this performance! ✨
I love your tears and it just shows that Forestella hits right in the heart. I've seen/heard this number 100 times and it still brings tears to my eyes every single time. ❤️
I am so pleased to see that you reacted to this! Their arrangement is very different, but there is certainly no lack of emotion. My first exposure to Forestella was Nella Fantasia, and then Je Suis Malade came across, of course with all of their other fantastic performances. I am always curious about what modifications they are going to make to cover songs, their arrangements are absolutely incredible. Bad Romance is a great example of that. Thank you Sir Hairless, I definitely enjoyed your analysis and reaction ❤.
Great response to this magnificent piece of artistry! There are many, I believe, wonderful vocalists in the world. The really good one have the ability to touch your heart. However, there are but of few singers who can touch our souls. They are the truly gifted ones. In this video you highlighted three of them - Dimash, Lara and Forestella. When that moment of connection occurs, goosebumps and (especially) tears manifest spontaneously - that is if your heart is open to it. I am a new sub of yours. What drew me to you initially was the vocalist you were highlight that day - DIMASH - but what really has me coming back the most is you awesome ability to connect with the music at a very deep level. However, at the very time you make that connection, you tear up, but instead of embracing that as one of your most wonderful qualities and reveling in that ability, you pull back, try to contain it the best you can can and then apologize for yourself. Please don't do that! Be proud rather than ashamed. A man can appear incredibly masculine while showing the more vulnerable emotions. You are one of those men!
Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it and agree with what you say! Haha don't worry, if I really was embarrassed/ashamed I wouldn't upload the video onto the big great internet for the world to see It just sometimes surprises me how certain songs can affect my physicality completely against my will! This is a sensation that will never cease to surprise me
You got me started on Forestella with your previous video. I love their music and their vocal ranges. Finally I love your reactions and analysis. Thank you
Thank you for this reaction, this will always be one of my favourite covers they have done. Also Serge Lama actually posted about this cover on all his social media platforms, he really loved it.
So very happy with your emotional response and technical analysis as I think it’s a beautiful rendition by these 4 amazing singers and so well arranged performance. I love to cry along with this and seeing the people in the room does contribute to the impact it has on you when watching. Fabulous 😊❤
Great reaction! Forestella are phenomenal! If you’d like to get an idea of Kang Hyung Ho’s range, you should react to “Phantom of the opera”, (he sings both parts by himself), and “Hijo de la Luna”.
So grateful for this comparative analysis!! Showing clips of all 3 versions too, really really great reaction. Please never be embarassed for getting emotional, your reaction was phenomenal!
Hello again, my friend. Thank you for doing this wonderful song. These amazing S. Korean musicians are breathtaking, and their pronunciations are outstanding. As a Spanish speaker, their Spanish songs are epic! Again, not only is the music mesmerizing, but your facial features and musical explanations are priceless! Music is my happy place. Thank you for adding so much meaning to this wonderful art form. ❤
Wow, I really like this version. I think Lara Fabian is pure magic but this one is interesting and really good. Your analysis was brilliant. Thankyou x
This was so lovely: from Forestella's delightful performance to your emotional reaction with always insightful comments! For me the accordion classy touch in this arrangement was the cherry on the cake because the sound of this beautiful instrument connects my heart directly to my cultural roots in the Northeastern part of Brazil, where my entire family comes from. Over there the accordion is an essential component of many traditional rhythms and folkloric genres because it was tightly incorporated to the music that emerged locally after the big French immigration to this region during mid-19th century. The role of this instrument is particularly crucial in the forró genre (and other related subgenres of traditional music in Brazil), which is the type of music that mostly reminds of my beloved father and grandparents❤So, it's curious that, for cultural reasons, the accordion primarily connects me to my own cultural roots (differently from the original French reference that most people around the world traditionally connects to its sound)☺
One of the best reactions I've ever seen. This is a very sad song and I could tell you were feeling the emotion. Thank you for an outstanding reaction!!
This may be my favorite. Please consider one of those which I believe is called moonlight nights of silla. I say I believe because the title is translated various ways.
Wow! Just as I thought I've seen this song sang by the best, you surprise me again!! I was in tears at the end: Seing and hearing their 4 faces close together sing with such emotion of despair reminded me of babies crying for their mother. Just incredibly powerful! What an incredible video again! Thank you!! Thank you!!❤
I had never heard this cover. It is so amazing to me to see the attention and admiration this song is getting around the world. I think Lara Fabian had a lot to do with it and Dimash saying publicly how much he loves her singing. Funny detail... they are singing the female adaptation of the lyrics (orpheline instead of orphelin, heureuse instead of heureux...) which definitely tells me they were inspired by Lara. I am happy for Serge Lama and Alice Donna who wrote the beautiful music, that their song lives through decades and across thousands of miles. What an hommage. I saw Serge Lama in Montreal in the 70’s. He did sing the last chorus a Cappella. I love the accordion in this version. Nice touch. Thank you Sir Hairless. 🤗
Yes, they were most definitely inspired by a Lara version…she has more than one…I believe it was a particular concert version that they chose to pay homage to and that is why they also kept the gender. Ko Woorim, the basso profundo singer, together with the tenor Cho MinGyu are both classically trained opera singers and so have a classic language requirement in their Bachelor and Masters Degrees through the prestigious Seoul National University College of Music. They don’t speak French like natives because they don’t need to, but are able to read and understand and sing proficiently. The other two had to learn the French lyrics for this song. They even translated this song into Korean and received permission to alter the lyrics to suit the Korean language..I believe Bae Doohoon contributed to the writing of the lyrics. Serge Lama himself reached out to Forestella commending them for this performance , uploaded it on all social media platforms in France with a message and told everyone to listen to it. He also mentions it in an online article in PUBLIC magazine in 2021, March 16th I believe. Forestella tends to be a group who delves into a song and are practice freaks. Consider this, the counter tenor /tenor soprano Kang Hyungho, now 36 ,has a degree in chemical engineering and 4yrs experience as a valued research chemist with no formal music education but is self-trained vocally and is really an amateur rock singer for almost half his life before Forestella was formed in 2017 . He has continued his rock act alongside Forestella activity since 2020. He is known globally for an incredible performance of both Christine and The Phantom’s parts in a version of The Phantom of the Opera he sang on Lotto Singer an MBN channel competition in 2020 where he also,performed some other memorable ballads.. He also sang a version of that as his audition piece for Phantom Singer 2 where these 4 met. He does not claim to be an opera singer or a classic singer and had no classic language training. The baritenor is a musical theatre performer who majored in acting at S. Korea’s most sought after Korean National University of Arts who has an active career in musical theatre alongside Forestella activity. Ko Woorim I think, is the only member who travelled to France in 2016, still a 2nd year Bachelor of Music student at age 21, to compete in the TOULOUSE INTERNATIONAL SINGING COMPETITION together with 2 contestants future seasons of Phantom Singer. He reached the semi-finals in his first ever overseas competition.
I left the previous comment during the performance and then came the ending 🤫🤗🥰 I had goosebumps on my goosebumps and I'm still wiping aways tears 🎼🎵🎶🎙❤💋
Muito bom assistir a sua relação e análises dessas música. Forestella me toca no mais profundo da alma,com suas vozes esse cover fenomenal, que o próprio autor da música elogiou. Grande abraço do Brasil.
Amazing reactions very touching indeed, to cry i usually listen to Sohyang from south Korea, you need to check her out she will blow your mind. thanks Note: i still get goosebumps (and teary eyes) every time i hear them singing Je suis malade
Was waiting for this reaction!! Like the video before watching it. Edit: great epic reaction!! I always have tears whenever I hear Forestella's cover of this song... As for the names your pronunciation is very good... P.S: their performance was so good that Sergio lama praised them and shared the link of the video on his twitter account.
Hi and thank you once again for such a wonderful reaction to this amazing group although I admit I rarely listen to this performance - purely because of the tears I invariably shed whilst listening to it 😕. Onto more uplifting songs, however, and could you please next react to Champions, Nella Fantasia, White Night and Hijo de la Luna as they are my four favourites up to now? Many thanks again and until the next time, bye for now 👋🏻
Thank you for your insightful analysis of FORESTELLA's extremely touching version of "Je suis malade". As always, a first-class, well-thought-out arrangement. Four times concentrated emotion such as heartbreaking sadness, frustration and vulnerability, expressed in wonderfully interwoven harmonies that take your breath away. Anyone who doesn't suffer here is... I also highly recommend their versions of "Shape Of You", "Spread Silk On My Heard", "Hijo de la Luna" or their originals "Save Our Lives" and "Snow Globe" (composer is countertenor Kang Hyung Ho)
One of my favourites from Lara Fabian but I loved this! I had not heard this version from Forestella before your reaction. Beautiful! I will have to go back and see your reactions to Lara and the original artist as well, but you never fail to provide wonderful insight and context. No need to be embarrassed by a very understandable physical reaction to a highly emotional song. Cheers from Canada!
Thank you for your wonderful analysis and reaction. Your pronunciation of the names is on point! Yes, Bae is pronounced as “bay” as I proudly have the same last name! Yeah, in Korean the last name comes first!
thanks for the reaction! actually they did korean version for their 3rd full album and the key is higher than this version, if you wanna listen they use Alone With Tears as title anyway, again, thanks for the reaction!♡ keep digging on them 😬
Another brilliant reaction. Thank you for listening to the other performances of this song. It was interesting to listen to your commentary based on the other two performances as well. Please comment on more Forestella! Thank you.
I'm so happy you loved Forestella. I was really looking forward to your reaction and insights into their music. My personal favourites of theirs are Legends Never Die, Inner Universe and White Night, but really, you can't go wrong with any of their songs!
Thank you for sharing your emotional response as well as your analysis. I know very little about music but I love this version of this song and I linked it on my course website to show a metaphor to my management students - demonstrating the difference to polyphony rather than cacophony ....
C'est une des plus belles versions de cette chanson,dont le chanteur original français est Serge Lama.Lara Fabian en avait fait une belle reprise aussi🙏🙏🙏
No tengo idea del francés y la primera vez que escuché esta canción con Forestella, me dejó inmóvil por la intensidad de sus voces que no supe ni cuándo se salieron las lágrimas de mis ojos, sentí dolor y tristeza en la canción y cuando busqué la traducción 😢😢😢 Ufffff... Creo que casi puedes tocar los sentimientos del protagonista que lo vive... Pensé que era exagerada, pero al ver tu reacción y que te sorprendió también, ya no me da pena comentarlo 😅😢😮 Gracias por el análisis 🎉❤😂
Great reaction. And you called all the names correct! I recommend the Inner Universe for the next review. It is very experimental and you could hear the great combinations of counter tenor and bass.
❤❤❤ His deep bass voice absolutely melted me in the introduction. Sold!! Where can I see them. Musically, it’s inspired me to dig out my grandads accordion. 🪗 Perhaps will in the morning. Thank you for making my evening commute home a pleasant one. I like you. Very informative and more eloquent than I am on explaining arrangements. You are quickly becoming a part of our household. (badly teaching 8yr old daughter how to play my clarinet, flute and keyboard (no space to have a piano out full time 😢)
The part that never fails to give me chills, is when they drop the music and sing acapella, they sound like the accordion from the beginning. (Go back and compare!). I love your breakdowns. I especially liked the piano comparison on this one. You did really well with the names, Bae is pronounced 'Bay'. Woorim is pronounced more with a silent W or a U instead. Oorim or Uurim. Most of the international fans pronounce it exactly the way you did so I think you're okay. 😉 I would love to hear your analysis of Cho Mingyu's solo performance of 'Balada De La Trompeta'. Also, most of the camera shots to the audience are the judges or their fellow competitors. I absolutely love to watch them freaking out. LoL
To the Accordion - so the original name of the patent - it was createtd by the austrian instrument maker Cyrill Demian. It is part of the "Heurigenmusik" and "Wiener Lied" in Wien but also very common in many folcloristic music all over middle europe. But this special sound in the french music is unique, it combines melancholy with joy of life - the "savoir vivre" - it immediately reminds me of bistro and café, summer wind and dancing but also of deepest despair - I love it.
Thanks for the information! Very interesting 🎶And completely agree about the cafe/summer wind - is this a result of the accordion's use in popular culture?
I think it´s a result of the appearance of the accordion in movies related to popular culture. In Austria they are called Heimatfilm, which would be translated homeland film although I don´t know if this makes sense to you . the accordion is mostly played in those kind of movies when people sit outside drinking coffee or wine and having a good time, whether it is in France, Austria or the Balkans.
Obrigada por mais uma reação ao FORESTELLA. Você precisa ver o que eles fizeram com Time In a bottle. A dança de suas vozes nesta música é simplesmente surreal vai ficar ainda mais impressionado em como eles transformam essa música. Time In A Bottle ruclips.net/video/rJ6bVs1_058/видео.htmlsi=csEjpIi02YSJA8nd Não deixe de conferir por favor 😊❤ Beijo do Brasil ❤❤❤❤
Hello Sir super entendo sua emoção diante desta performance extraordinária. É de arrepiar a alma !!! Parabéns e obrigada por mais essa incrível reação / análise. Beijo carinhoso do Brasil 😘❤️🇧🇷
I would love for you to react and analyze their songs: Legends Never Die, Bohemian Rhapsody, and their 2 part songs Save Me and Utopia. Turn on captions for Utopia, it is sung very rapidly. Make certain you watch all the way through, there is a surprise ending. I would also suggest that you check out Celtic Thunder. Their music includes many 5-part harmonies. One of my favorites is actually a Christmas Carol in Latin, "Gaudete". Cry all you want, music is meant to be felt!❤❤
I think by now it is no secret that I actually only listen to Pentatonix reactions. Watched the first part if this and was amazed to see them using an accordion. The older generation, I would say 40 and older knows it well because we used to waltz and to step dancing on music where there was an accordion, always, and normally in a barn where we sat on bales of grass meant for cow food, flower on the floors to make the dancing so much more like gliding. Those were the days! Greetings from South Africa
Thank you for your reaction and analysis. I enjoyed it. Forestella's songs do tend to provide goosebumps ever so often. Please listen to the song Champions ( The Seoul Festa version is a great version). It is a mash-up of the UEFA Champions' League song and the song Champions written by Sumi Jo, a South Korean soprano. The song Lazenca Save Us, is also a hood choice. (It is the theme song for a South Korean anime.) The anime was not successful but the song, which was originally sung by the rock group N.E.X.T. was very successful. Both songs are very powerful songs and they sound phenomenal. Looking forward to your next reaction.
and would you believe that countertenor never got professional training? :) he did get some training after joining Forestella but while the other three had pro musical backgrounds (two opera singers and a musical actor), Kang Hyungho only did some singing in a garage rock band on weekends as a hobby. :) I think you should watch his Phantom Singer audition tape of the Phantom of the Opera, where he performs the duet of Christine and the Phantom. I specifically recommend the audition tape, not the other performances he did later, as that is his unrefined voice there before Forestella came to be. And watch the jury members :) Hyungho felt like he didn't belong in the show as all other participants had an established musical background, while he was a chemical engineer. But he was chosen, and we are so lucky he was! ruclips.net/video/T1-TcI-J5no/видео.html
Enjoyed your first 2 reactions to Forestella. My very favorite of the many fine male quartets from Korea. Yes, they sing in many languages but few do reactions to songs in their native Korean. While I don’t understand Korean, I feel some of their most powerful covers are in Korean. Would love to hear reactions / analysis. ruclips.net/video/wUCSP76U1Ak/видео.html ruclips.net/video/pmI2rqqJgKo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Mef9MDqo1Bo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/ruLxZr-ZN1Q/видео.html Since they are a crossover group, they sing all genres. I think they do every genre well. The first 2 links are to covers of K-pop hits. The last 2 are well known ballads that Koreans know and love

No need to be embarrassed whatsoever!! Their performance was extremely emotional and you had a very genuine, heartfelt, human reaction !
Crying is NOT embarrassing! Feeling is a wonderful aspect of humanity! So glad you are human!☺️❣️Thank you for showing us emotion, my friend!

Please don't do that! Be proud rather than ashamed. A man can appear incredibly masculine while showing the more vulnerable emotions. You are one of those men!
Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it and agree with what you say!
Haha don't worry, if I really was embarrassed/ashamed I wouldn't upload the video onto the big great internet for the world to see It just sometimes surprises me how certain songs can affect my physicality completely against my will! This is a sensation that will never cease to surprise me
Thank you for your best reaction ❤
You got me started on Forestella with your previous video. I love their music and their vocal ranges. Finally I love your reactions and analysis. Thank you
Gracias por traer tan buena musica a su canal. ❤.
I cried too, such an emotional song and a mind blowing performance. Thank you for your amazing reaction
Thank you for this reaction, this will always be one of my favourite covers they have done. Also Serge Lama actually posted about this cover on all his social media platforms, he really loved it.
Hadn't seen this, so thanks for putting it out there. Really amazing performance, and your analysis was awesome -- as usual.
So very happy with your emotional response and technical analysis as I think it’s a beautiful rendition by these 4 amazing singers and so well arranged performance. I love to cry along with this and seeing the people in the room does contribute to the impact it has on you when watching. Fabulous 😊❤
Great reaction! Forestella are phenomenal! If you’d like to get an idea of Kang Hyung Ho’s range, you should react to “Phantom of the opera”, (he sings both parts by himself), and “Hijo de la Luna”.
So grateful for this comparative analysis!! Showing clips of all 3 versions too, really really great reaction. Please never be embarassed for getting emotional, your reaction was phenomenal!
Hello again, my friend. Thank you for doing this wonderful song. These amazing S. Korean musicians are breathtaking, and their pronunciations are outstanding. As a Spanish speaker, their Spanish songs are epic! Again, not only is the music mesmerizing, but your facial features and musical explanations are priceless! Music is my happy place. Thank you for adding so much meaning to this wonderful art form. ❤
Wow, I really like this version. I think Lara Fabian is pure magic but this one is interesting and really good. Your analysis was brilliant. Thankyou x
🙌
I loved it! My favorite group Foresetlla!
This was so lovely: from Forestella's delightful performance to your emotional reaction with always insightful comments! For me the accordion classy touch in this arrangement was the cherry on the cake because the sound of this beautiful instrument connects my heart directly to my cultural roots in the Northeastern part of Brazil, where my entire family comes from. Over there the accordion is an essential component of many traditional rhythms and folkloric genres because it was tightly incorporated to the music that emerged locally after the big French immigration to this region during mid-19th century. The role of this instrument is particularly crucial in the forró genre (and other related subgenres of traditional music in Brazil), which is the type of music that mostly reminds of my beloved father and grandparents❤So, it's curious that, for cultural reasons, the accordion primarily connects me to my own cultural roots (differently from the original French reference that most people around the world traditionally connects to its sound)☺
Wow so the accordion was brought to Brazil by the French? Very cool! And it's nice that it reminds you of your family
One of the best reactions I've ever seen. This is a very sad song and I could tell you were feeling the emotion. Thank you for an outstanding reaction!!
사랑하는 포레스텔라 리액션 감사합니다😊😊😊
환상적인 곡들이 아주 많아요 꼭 들어보세요😊😊😊😊😊
This may be my favorite.
Please consider one of those which I believe is called moonlight nights of silla. I say I believe because the title is translated various ways.
You're on a roll here! Great stuff and I enjoy listening to Forestella. The other 2 I love are Nella Fantasia and Hijo De la Luna. 🙏
Thanks a lot for your technical analises of Forestella rendition to this emotional and beautiful song!
❤❤❤❤
Wow! Just as I thought I've seen this song sang by the best, you surprise me again!! I was in tears at the end: Seing and hearing their 4 faces close together sing with such emotion of despair reminded me of babies crying for their mother. Just incredibly powerful! What an incredible video again! Thank you!! Thank you!!❤
FORESTELLA. PREFEITOS FANTASTICOS .AMO ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had never heard this cover. It is so amazing to me to see the attention and admiration this song is getting around the world. I think Lara Fabian had a lot to do with it and Dimash saying publicly how much he loves her singing. Funny detail... they are singing the female adaptation of the lyrics (orpheline instead of orphelin, heureuse instead of heureux...) which definitely tells me they were inspired by Lara. I am happy for Serge Lama and Alice Donna who wrote the beautiful music, that their song lives through decades and across thousands of miles. What an hommage. I saw Serge Lama in Montreal in the 70’s. He did sing the last chorus a Cappella. I love the accordion in this version. Nice touch. Thank you Sir Hairless. 🤗
Yes, they were most definitely inspired by a Lara version…she has more than one…I believe it was a particular concert version that they chose to pay homage to and that is why they also kept the gender. Ko Woorim, the basso profundo singer, together with the tenor Cho MinGyu are both classically trained opera singers and so have a classic language requirement in their Bachelor and Masters Degrees through the prestigious Seoul National University College of Music. They don’t speak French like natives because they don’t need to, but are able to read and understand and sing proficiently. The other two had to learn the French lyrics for this song. They even translated this song into Korean and received permission to alter the lyrics to suit the Korean language..I believe Bae Doohoon contributed to the writing of the lyrics. Serge Lama himself reached out to Forestella commending them for this performance , uploaded it on all social media platforms in France with a message and told everyone to listen to it. He also mentions it in an online article in PUBLIC magazine in 2021, March 16th I believe. Forestella tends to be a group who delves into a song and are practice freaks. Consider this, the counter tenor /tenor soprano Kang Hyungho, now 36 ,has a degree in chemical engineering and 4yrs experience as a valued research chemist with no formal music education but is self-trained vocally and is really an amateur rock singer for almost half his life before Forestella was formed in 2017 . He has continued his rock act alongside Forestella activity since 2020. He is known globally for an incredible performance of both Christine and The Phantom’s parts in a version of The Phantom of the Opera he sang on Lotto Singer an MBN channel competition in 2020 where he also,performed some other memorable ballads.. He also sang a version of that as his audition piece for Phantom Singer 2 where these 4 met. He does not claim to be an opera singer or a classic singer and had no classic language training. The baritenor is a musical theatre performer who majored in acting at S. Korea’s most sought after Korean National University of Arts who has an active career in musical theatre alongside Forestella activity.
Ko Woorim I think, is the only member who travelled to France in 2016, still a 2nd year Bachelor of Music student at age 21, to compete in the TOULOUSE INTERNATIONAL SINGING COMPETITION together with 2 contestants future seasons of Phantom Singer. He reached the semi-finals in his first ever overseas competition.
@@hildommar Thank you so much for all the information. It’s so wonderful to see music connecting the world. We all need this. 🤗
I left the previous comment during the performance and then came the ending 🤫🤗🥰 I had goosebumps on my goosebumps and I'm still wiping aways tears 🎼🎵🎶🎙❤💋
Goosebumps on goosebumps! Me too
Qué lindo ver tu emoción, eres un ser humano ❤
Muito bom assistir a sua relação e análises dessas música.
Forestella me toca no mais profundo da alma,com suas vozes esse cover fenomenal, que o próprio autor da música elogiou.
Grande abraço do Brasil.
Amazing reactions very touching indeed, to cry i usually listen to Sohyang from south Korea, you need to check her out she will blow your mind. thanks
Note: i still get goosebumps (and teary eyes) every time i hear them singing Je suis malade
Was waiting for this reaction!! Like the video before watching it.
Edit: great epic reaction!! I always have tears whenever I hear Forestella's cover of this song...
As for the names your pronunciation is very good...
P.S: their performance was so good that Sergio lama praised them and shared the link of the video on his twitter account.
Hi and thank you once again for such a wonderful reaction to this amazing group although I admit I rarely listen to this performance - purely because of the tears I invariably shed whilst listening to it 😕. Onto more uplifting songs, however, and could you please next react to Champions, Nella Fantasia, White Night and Hijo de la Luna as they are my four favourites up to now? Many thanks again and until the next time, bye for now 👋🏻
Thanks for watching, and for the recommendations!
@@SirHairlessyou're very welcome and thank you so much for considering my requests as it's much appreciated 😊
Thank you for your insightful analysis of FORESTELLA's extremely touching version of "Je suis malade". As always, a first-class, well-thought-out arrangement. Four times concentrated emotion such as heartbreaking sadness, frustration and vulnerability, expressed in wonderfully interwoven harmonies that take your breath away. Anyone who doesn't suffer here is... I also highly recommend their versions of "Shape Of You", "Spread Silk On My Heard", "Hijo de la Luna" or their originals "Save Our Lives" and "Snow Globe" (composer is countertenor Kang Hyung Ho)
One of my favourites from Lara Fabian but I loved this! I had not heard this version from Forestella before your reaction. Beautiful! I will have to go back and see your reactions to Lara and the original artist as well, but you never fail to provide wonderful insight and context. No need to be embarrassed by a very understandable physical reaction to a highly emotional song. Cheers from Canada!
Пробирает насквозь, просто физически ( я как раз писала слово физически, когда вы описали тоже чувство)👏👏👏👏Браво!❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your wonderful analysis and reaction. Your pronunciation of the names is on point! Yes, Bae is pronounced as “bay” as I proudly have the same last name! Yeah, in Korean the last name comes first!
Woo thanks!
thanks for the reaction! actually they did korean version for their 3rd full album and the key is higher than this version, if you wanna listen they use Alone With Tears as title
anyway, again, thanks for the reaction!♡ keep digging on them 😬
Another brilliant reaction. Thank you for listening to the other performances of this song. It was interesting to listen to your commentary based on the other two performances as well. Please comment on more Forestella! Thank you.
한국어 발음 너무 좋으시네요.
구독하고 갑니다.😊
I'm so happy you loved Forestella. I was really looking forward to your reaction and insights into their music. My personal favourites of theirs are Legends Never Die, Inner Universe and White Night, but really, you can't go wrong with any of their songs!
Thank you for sharing your emotional response as well as your analysis. I know very little about music but I love this version of this song and I linked it on my course website to show a metaphor to my management students - demonstrating the difference to polyphony rather than cacophony ....
C'est une des plus belles versions de cette chanson,dont le chanteur original français est Serge Lama.Lara Fabian en avait fait une belle reprise aussi🙏🙏🙏
Me encantan tus análisis!! La canción White Night es matavillosa. Es un tema propio, no cover. Gracias y saludos desde España
Gracias. Yes that one is on my list for the future!
처음부터 끝까지 영상 본적은 처음입니다
넘기지 않고 정말 잘봤습니다
포레스텔라의 노래는 어느것이든 다 좋아요
No tengo idea del francés y la primera vez que escuché esta canción con Forestella, me dejó inmóvil por la intensidad de sus voces que no supe ni cuándo se salieron las lágrimas de mis ojos, sentí dolor y tristeza en la canción y cuando busqué la traducción 😢😢😢
Ufffff... Creo que casi puedes tocar los sentimientos del protagonista que lo vive...
Pensé que era exagerada, pero al ver tu reacción y que te sorprendió también, ya no me da pena comentarlo 😅😢😮
Gracias por el análisis 🎉❤😂
Great reaction. And you called all the names correct! I recommend the Inner Universe for the next review. It is very experimental and you could hear the great combinations of counter tenor and bass.
❤❤❤
His deep bass voice absolutely melted me in the introduction. Sold!! Where can I see them.
Musically, it’s inspired me to dig out my grandads accordion. 🪗 Perhaps will in the morning.
Thank you for making my evening commute home a pleasant one. I like you. Very informative and more eloquent than I am on explaining arrangements. You are quickly becoming a part of our household. (badly teaching 8yr old daughter how to play my clarinet, flute and keyboard (no space to have a piano out full time 😢)
I'm jealous of anyone who plays the accordion! Sounds like a musical household indeed 🎶
@@SirHairless We try. Trying is part of the fun.
The part that never fails to give me chills, is when they drop the music and sing acapella, they sound like the accordion from the beginning. (Go back and compare!).
I love your breakdowns. I especially liked the piano comparison on this one.
You did really well with the names, Bae is pronounced 'Bay'. Woorim is pronounced more with a silent W or a U instead. Oorim or Uurim. Most of the international fans pronounce it exactly the way you did so I think you're okay. 😉
I would love to hear your analysis of Cho Mingyu's solo performance of 'Balada De La Trompeta'.
Also, most of the camera shots to the audience are the judges or their fellow competitors. I absolutely love to watch them freaking out. LoL
Hello!!! It's always a pleasure to see your reactions. Greetings from Argentina
That was beautiful!!!!!
Thank you friend for another great Forestella reaction!! Please continue down this rabbit hole as well as more Dimash! Blessings from Louisiana!!
To the Accordion - so the original name of the patent - it was createtd by the austrian instrument maker Cyrill Demian. It is part of the "Heurigenmusik" and "Wiener Lied" in Wien but also very common in many folcloristic music all over middle europe. But this special sound in the french music is unique, it combines melancholy with joy of life - the "savoir vivre" - it immediately reminds me of bistro and café, summer wind and dancing but also of deepest despair - I love it.
Thanks for the information! Very interesting 🎶And completely agree about the cafe/summer wind - is this a result of the accordion's use in popular culture?
I think it´s a result of the appearance of the accordion in movies related to popular culture. In Austria they are called Heimatfilm, which would be translated homeland film although I don´t know if this makes sense to you . the accordion is mostly played in those kind of movies when people sit outside drinking coffee or wine and having a good time, whether it is in France, Austria or the Balkans.
Obrigada por mais uma reação ao FORESTELLA.
Você precisa ver o que eles fizeram com Time In a bottle.
A dança de suas vozes nesta música é simplesmente surreal vai ficar ainda mais impressionado em como eles transformam essa música.

Não deixe de conferir por favor 😊❤
Beijo do Brasil ❤❤❤❤
한국에 사는데 우연히 지나다가 떳길래 저번부터 들었어요..님의 표정이 넘 순수해서 넘 좋아용...다음엔 소향의 Lean on me 리액션도 부탁할께요..구독 꾹 누르고 갑니다.^^
Hello Sir super entendo sua emoção diante desta performance extraordinária. É de arrepiar a alma !!! Parabéns e obrigada por mais essa incrível reação / análise. Beijo carinhoso do Brasil 😘❤️🇧🇷
good reaction~~~~~😭😭😭
I would love for you to react and analyze their songs: Legends Never Die, Bohemian Rhapsody, and their 2 part songs Save Me and Utopia. Turn on captions for Utopia, it is sung very rapidly. Make certain you watch all the way through, there is a surprise ending.
I would also suggest that you check out Celtic Thunder. Their music includes many 5-part harmonies. One of my favorites is actually a Christmas Carol in Latin, "Gaudete".
Cry all you want, music is meant to be felt!❤❤
AMOOOOOO ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think by now it is no secret that I actually only listen to Pentatonix reactions. Watched the first part if this and was amazed to see them using an accordion. The older generation, I would say 40 and older knows it well because we used to waltz and to step dancing on music where there was an accordion, always, and normally in a barn where we sat on bales of grass meant for cow food, flower on the floors to make the dancing so much more like gliding. Those were the days! Greetings from South Africa
Thank you for your reaction and analysis. I enjoyed it. Forestella's songs do tend to provide goosebumps ever so often.
Please listen to the song Champions ( The Seoul Festa version is a great version). It is a mash-up of the UEFA Champions' League song and the song Champions written by Sumi Jo, a South Korean soprano.
The song Lazenca Save Us, is also a hood choice. (It is the theme song for a South Korean anime.) The anime was not successful but the song, which was originally sung by the rock group N.E.X.T. was very successful.
Both songs are very powerful songs and they sound phenomenal.
Looking forward to your next reaction.
Thank you for reacting forestella, i want to know your opinion about nella fantasia forestella version
Te entiendo! No puedo ver este video sin llorar!
Great reaction even it s difficult to manage technique analyze and émotion. Thank you sir. Greetings from Belgium🇧🇪🍀🍀🍀
🙏 Thank you
Ahh....😢. Love you❤🎶🎶🎶🎶
PLEASE, do "El Hijo de la Luna" by Forestella. They sing a Spanish song in Korean. It is so fantastic.
I have to say I haven't got on the Kpop bandwagon but have I do love Forestella they are brilliant
Forestella is not Kpop.
@@vayany maybe not technically but you get the gist of what I'm saying
and would you believe that countertenor never got professional training? :) he did get some training after joining Forestella but while the other three had pro musical backgrounds (two opera singers and a musical actor), Kang Hyungho only did some singing in a garage rock band on weekends as a hobby. :) I think you should watch his Phantom Singer audition tape of the Phantom of the Opera, where he performs the duet of Christine and the Phantom. I specifically recommend the audition tape, not the other performances he did later, as that is his unrefined voice there before Forestella came to be. And watch the jury members :) Hyungho felt like he didn't belong in the show as all other participants had an established musical background, while he was a chemical engineer. But he was chosen, and we are so lucky he was! ruclips.net/video/T1-TcI-J5no/видео.html
Enjoyed your first 2 reactions to Forestella. My very favorite of the many fine male quartets from Korea. Yes, they sing in many languages but few do reactions to songs in their native Korean. While I don’t understand Korean, I feel some of their most powerful covers are in Korean.
Would love to hear reactions / analysis.

Since they are a crossover group, they sing all genres. I think they do every genre well. The first 2 links are to covers of K-pop hits. The last 2 are well known ballads that Koreans know and love
