Ren and Chinchilla reinforce the adage that "the cure is worse than the illness" when it comes to mental health treatment.......many patients lose their 'real' self under medication "Take this one {pill}, wash it down and you'll be fine" is the only "cure" many doctors & therapists offer to patients......."I'm scared of being OK" just breaks the heart, doesn't it?

Aleks, as noted this song is Einar Selvik's (the male vocalist from Wardruna) interpretation of the pre-Christian Norse belief in honoring those who pass before us, our ancestors & loved ones......."Helvegen" is the road to Hel (NOT the Christian concept of Hell, more like a purgatory or place on the journey to the final afterlife)....Einar & Aurora tell the story in such a beautiful performance that tears come to the eyes and, at the same time, joy captures the heart.....thanks for reacting ! By the way, I think Valhalla was reserved for those Norse who died in battle, in other words, for "heroes".

Thanks for reacting to this epic performance ! I'm sure you now know Ren's story.....for those who don't here is a brief summary : at 17, one of Ren's best friends committed suicide & Ren felt responsible....shortly he contracted Lyme disease....was MIS-diagnosed with "mental issues"....given psychotropic meds for years that wrecked his physical & mental health....finally received correct treatment, but may require treatment for his lifetime........given this history, many of Ren's videos & much of his music reflect his understandably bitter opinion of many doctors & therapists, symbolized by the Pig/Butcher, which appears frequently in his work

Thanks to @vyacheslav7841 for the synopsis of "The Little River"....this is an especially poignant performance, because Diana is an "orphan", having been abandoned by her birth mother.....as always, thanks for reacting

again, Diana amazes us with her beautiful Contralto tones (and overtones)....thanks for reacting ! ........

As you may know, Diana has a tragic/hopeful story : she was abused & abandoned on the street by her birth mother.....could/would not speak.....spent early years in a Russian orphanage.....her adoptive Mum provided voice & singing lessons to help Diana overcome her trauma.....Diana is a natural Contralto, the lowest female vocal range.....she is polyphonic, able to produce multiple tones/notes simultaneously.....she sings in many languages.....I think she is marvelous......

First, thank you for your many reaction videos.....I now subscribe to your channel to hear your insightful comments.....in particular I, like so many, feel Lara Fabian is and has been the "gold standard" of modern interpretations of classical/operatic vocal performance.......other reactors have called Emma "a young Lara" (we'll have to see).....Finally, your willingness to embrace many genres of music is appreciated........

as you know, "Adagio", in musical terms, means "slowly" (slower tempo)....Lara tells us that even in matters of the heart, one must go "slowly"........thanks to the comments of @ericsicard910

if I gave my love, my singing career, my very life to one who did not care, I would feel the absolute despair Lara portrays in this performance......the a capella section is especially stunning........

Sung by all the great and near-great operatic vocalists, this piece was written in honor of the late tenor Enrico Caruso, R.I.P. ( and originally arranged for a male voice ), this interpretation imagines a dying ( and knowing it ) Caruso's last words to his wife and young daughter........"Te voglio bene assai" = I love you very much........

La canción es una maravilla,!!!! Del dolor , puede salir algo bueno.

Lara Fabian sólo se ha casado una vez con su actual marido , Gabriel ,y es muy feliz. El hombre que la traicionó ,era su pareja ,productor, trabajaron juntos ,el le hizo promesas de una vida juntos ,y demás ....y la engaño ,ella lo deja y escribe esta canción ,de traición y perdón . haciendose preguntas. Lara es una gran mujer ,no tuvo suerte con alguna pareja .Ahora dice que algo bueno ha debido hacer ,en esta vida ,para tener la suerte de encontrar y tener a su lado a un hombre como su marido ,con el que quiere compartir su vida.

Great reaction, Aleks. I have listened to hundreds of reactions to Marcelito's cover of "The Power of Love" and yours ranks right up there with the best of them. As you noted, Marcelito did miss a whistle note at the end which is why he stuck out his tongue in disgust.

Aleks, Marcelito takes this song to yet another level in the release of his album, "Duet Yourself". Since it is a tracked recording, he includes all of the harmonies where Bocelli and Dion sing together in harmony. It is quite beautiful with Marcelito singing the lead (Bocelli) in tenor/baritone and the alto harmony (Dion) in countertenor. This song also includes a marvelous background orchestra. Here is the link to the audio: th-cam.com/video/ULwa6eLtufY/w-d-xo.html Here is a partial list of other covers by Marcelito: Celine Dion's "The Power of Love" (His best female imitation in my opinion) Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You", "I Have Nothing", "One Moment in Time" Loren Allread's "Never Enough" Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" Celine Dion/Peabo Bryson's "Beauty and the Beast" Kenny Loggins "Forever" Mariah Carey's "Hero" and "Oh Holy Night" Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling In Love" Beyonce's "Listen" Steelheart's "She's Gone" Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" Miley Cyrus' "When I Look At You" Luther Vandross "Dance With My Father" Diana Ross/Lionel Richie's "Endless Love" Sarah Brightman/Andrea Bocelli's "Time To Say Goodbye" (He sings in Italian) Teresa Teng "The Moon Represents My Heart" (He sings in Chinese) IL Divo/ Celine Dion's "I Believe In You" (He sings in French and imitates 4 different voices) Luis Fonsi's "Despacito" (He sings in Spanish) Finally, Marcelito sings numerous Filipino songs in his native language, Tagalog.

Thanks for an enjoyable reaction to this incredibly talented man. I have to be honest and say that I haven't heard anything by him except for this one and The Prayer, so I have no clue if he's contracted or anything. Somehow I feel that I know the answer, and the thought of him NOT getting the recognition and/or possibilities to make it big as his own singer is just a travesty. But then again, I may be wrong. I sure hope so 🙂 Writing this comment reminded me that I haven't replied to the mail I got, so I'll do it here😁 We are celebrating my Mother-in-law Friday evening at her place, and then we'll go out and eat at a restaurant on Saturday, so both options are a no-go for me unfortunately. We'll talk later. Almost 2 am as of writing this, so off to bed I go. Take care, Aleks. Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

Another great reaction. I don't really listen to Pomoy much, but fun listening with you :) A agree so much with you about Celine Dion. Obviously she has an immense talent, but her timbre, color of voice if you will, and her nasal singing just doesn't sit right with me. It's just a matter of taste.

More Lucy please. I love everything she has done. Enjoyed your reaction to my favorite female favorite singer. Maybe try Evergreen next time. I think you'll love it.

Thank you!

Thank you for suggesting this one @theodorepanglao9552 and @macariooliver2036! ❤❤❤

Lara❤

Aleks, as one of your subscribers who implored you to react to this performance, thank you. Like many others I have no idea how Lara can do vocal gymnastics at the same time as doing a physical work out! There are lots of "moments" in this performance, but for me the expression on her face when looking up after having her head on the floor, just says "i've got you now" and it's impossible not to be captivated. Thank you for your reaction, there is not much to say, but to be in awe of her in this performance. Phil in Scotland

As usual, when it comes to great singers, there's Lara...then there's everybody else. Nobody comes close.

That was awesome, I never tire of watching reactions to this insane and phenomenal performance. It's the best hidden gem of her whole catalogue that only hardcore fans ever find. Even with the poor quality, it's footage that I hope never disappears from TH-cam. And, just wondering, are we getting close to the double reaction to Si Tu M'aimes/To Love Again? Maybe? Please? 😊

Dear Aleks, yes it was spicy, no doubt about it. But not as spicy as her role in the movie Arlette, where she plays a foreign minister who has a one night stand with Arlette the leading role. It is political satire. You can watch the movie on youtube. And no, we don't have to see you react to that. Look for Arlette 2022 movie.😊 Back to business: I love this song, and the bluesy way she sings it. Seeing you seeing it was a treat.

Hi Aleks Thank you for this great reaction and the shoutout in the comments At this koncert Lara sings on of my absolute favorit songs Perdere L'amore this is the only time I have ever seen Lara losing it on stage it is so mutch fun Lara Fabian - Perdere L'amore- Bruxelles 1998 - High Quality th-cam.com/video/cqLuDwLzoBw/w-d-xo.html (not high quality but so funny start, same fancam as the chere song) Love Lara ❤ Love from Denmark ❤

For a low quality recording, Lara is still able to show us her vocal and physical acrobatics! Imagine how much fun she has with the audience.

Still loving your reactions to some of these videos!

😅

😊😊😊 Her face at 6'10 tells everything.. How much she was having fun and enjoying teasing her fans . She really was on fire that evening... And how she is able to sustain those high notes and runs even when folding and laying , with her diaframma and posture in those positions ... Just Amazing! And your smile enjoying it.. Eheh😊... I'm sure she did cheer you up! She is definitely something else ❤

Poate doriți să o ascultați cândva și pe Laura Bretan , o cântăreață româno americană, care de curând a cântat cu Lara Fabian pe aceeași scenă , în București 😊😘👌

Ciao, certamente ci è piaciuto moltissimo........LARA è un vulcano 🌋 in eruzione !!!!! Ciao 👋

There is a phrase that circulates among those who work in music (and perhaps it applies to any activity): learn the technique and forget it. The toolbox of a singer (in common with those who also play wind instruments) contains some fundamental basic techniques: the use of dynamics, register, pronunciation, intonation, flexibility, management of emission, stamina, and other small things (melisma, leap, completeness of phrases, vowels and consonants, mixed voice, etc.) and interpretation. Lara possesses these fundamentals as a result of innate talent but also of ten years as a soprano in the conservatory and continuous study in the following years up to today. These tools are part of her, she does not have to think about how to use them during a performance so she can dedicate herself exclusively to interpretation. Of course many singers, worthy of the name, have them and use them but Lara has something more: most singers use them all or part of them during the whole song, Mrs. Fabian manages to put them in every single phrase sometimes at the same time (in addition to writing the lyrics and singing in different languages). For these (technical) reasons for me she is the top in this genre for about 30 years. Can I say that she is also a beautiful woman and in this blues she is very sexy or does anyone get offended? 😆

Y del mismo concierto : I Guess I loved you,sentada en el piano ,con una voz cristalina ,y maravillosa.😊 Una delicia 😍 escucharla

First, there is a speech in French at the beginning of the song: "Personnally, in my view, the most beautiful creation from God is a man. It is well-known that a man always arrives with the present we were missing, the collar we were dreaming of, and, by end of the week, when we are totally exhausted, because we have worked hard the whole week, they come with a surprise ticket to venice. You appears to be skeptical Miss? Mister will have to make an effort here! And, by the way, I wonder why we love them?" then she sings the lyrics. Here there are (first in french then the translation in english) "Dites-moi pourquoi je l'aime Dites-moi pourquoi C'est comme un cadeau Que le ciel me fait d'en haut, haut, haut Quand cet amour nous enchaîne S'accroche à l'eau Dites-moi pourquoi je l'aime Dites-moi pourquoi c'est trop Pourquoi faut-il que je l'aime Et que sa vie Sa vie me coule dans les veines Et dans ses mains je supplie Chaque fois je me déchaîne Quand il prend ma vie Je ne sais plus comment Ni où s'enfuit le temps Quand mon corps se meurt et se perd dans ses bras Dites-moi pourquoi je l'aime Dites-moi pourquoi Il est comme un bateau Qui m'emmènerait sur l'eau Au lieu de garder ma peine Je crie bien plus fort Encore plus fort que je l'aime Et que je l'aimerai encore Le ciel m'en a fait cadeau Quand dans ses bras mon corps Toute sa vie dévore Je prie pour qu'il m'enlace encore et encore Dites-moi pourquoi je l'aime Dites-moi pourquoi Il est comme un bateau Qui m'emmènerait sur l'eau Et si jamais j'ai de la peine Je crie bien plus fort Encore plus fort que je l'aime Et que je l'aimerai encore Dites-moi pourquoi je l'aime Je sais que je l'aime encore" "Tell me why do I love him tell me why It's like a present that sky sent me from above,above,above when this love enchains us hangs on to our skin tell me why do I love him tell me why it's too much? why should I love him and his life his life runs in my veins and in his arms I plead,yes, yes every time I go berserk when he takes my life I don't know neither how nor where the time runs away when my body is dying and is wasting in his arms Tell me why do I love him tell me why he is like a boat that will take me over the water,water,water somewhere to keep my pain I shout loudly still loudly that I love him(I love him,I love him) and that I will still love him,still,still The sky, the sky sent me a present when my body is in his arms his whole life is devoured I pray that he embrace me again and again Tell me why do I love him tell me why he is like a boat that will take me over the water, water somewhere to keep my pain I shout loudly still loudly that I love him (I love him,I love him) and that I will still love him Tell me why do I love him I know that I still love him"

Lara Fabian Un regard 9 Bambina ,en vivo una actuación deliciosa ,tienes que verla ,cada vez que la interpreta en vivo es un regalo 🎁 ,y aquí es un contraste a la actuación que acabas de ver.Te la recomiendo . Un saludo cordial 😊

Lara is totally insane, love it!

Holaaa Gracias por reaccionar a la actuación.,es diferente ,llena de sensualidad ,con notas altas en posición del cuerpo , imposibles de hacer😅😂😂 ella lo hace fácil , bellísima , sintiendo cada palabra como siempre y demostrabdo su versatilidad.. Fue divertido 😀

the queen x

Great reaction Aleks👍 She shows that it’s possible to be sexy/sensual with clothes on lol Her voice is spectacular❤️

Beyond the terrible quality of the video and audio, this demonstrates, if there was any need, the impressive control that Lara has over her emission. Singing in that register and in those positions is almost impossible, but she does it all easily. 😓

Thank you Aleks for this wonderful moment with our Queen. Beyond the vocal and stage performance, indeed here Lara is the quintessence of beauty, sensuality and femininity. Lara is so classy

I love this side of Lara, complete with those insane vocals. 😍

Okay, I’ll pretend I’m surprised by your reaction, after all, your face expressions were way too priceless… 🤣 My sentiments go to that poor chair, tho… Lara was really on fire that night. It’s also a real shame that we don’t have a high quality footage of this astounding and flexible performance (I’m quite sure it’s a VHS recording, since it’s a 1998 performance), but, frankly, she’s sooooo good, that we soon forget this tiny technical detail and focus our attention solely on her and those out of this world vocal runs. Actually, how she managed to breathe and travel through all those low and high notes while on such infamous positions, remains a mystery till this day. Seriously, Lara has to be studied bc “that” is just not normal… and she was clearly having so much fun… like it was the most natural thing ever. 🤯

Some people are solar They attract you like a moth is attracted by light For better, but also for worse, and that brings with it a great responsibility. Lara, you are one of them With your voice, your presence and your kindness, you almost made me love humanity. Thank you ❤❤❤
