You're the FIRST to point that crazy laugh there! It's my favorite moment of the song: she admitted that she's not only sick and fragile, she's going crazy!
'Vocal Coach'? Your skills are far beyond the standard. This is the best most comprehensive informative professional analysis, yet seen, of what Lara does in this performance. And she does a LOT. No-one does love & loss with the sensitivity nuance power and minute intentionality of performance like Lara. 'Please see her Caruso'. Regards L.
its not often we see a singer _become_ the song.... Lara becomes the the character... the woman in despair... the 1st time she says "malade" her voice is small and frail... the 2nd time its a wail of despair... and we're right there, in that room with her, bearing witness to this circumstance and how it is affecting the character she is portraying.... and it is 100% real and believable.. An outstanding example of emotive artistry...
Lara Fabian's strength is her voice and her talent for conveying her emotions through these songs. I think she didn't get enough recognition. a great singer.
Congratulatioms......You are amomg the rare reactor who heard, after the accapella section, the two "ah ah" inserted in her cry. I love your reaction to her performance of that song. She is simply marvelous!
I've always said this song reminds me of a monologue before the actor dramatically dies/kills self. The passion, pain and words themselves are an outpouring of so much personal cleansing it gives me goosebumps Everytime.
if you are impressed with this one, you must watch, Je t'aime (Live in Paris 2001), one of the most magical live performance moments you are ever likely to see.
After listening and watching this performance many times I have to admit: THIS is a masterpiece. Don't know any performance so emotional and on point. Stunning.
The art that conceals art. She presents a very believable breakdown while balanced precariously on a high wire of vocal technique. The winds of emotion rip at her back and forth, but she does not fall off. Her attention to detail is extraordinary; she sings like a little girl before she recalls being one, you wonder why her mother was going out and leaving her, just as the man she is singing about treats her bed like a railway station. Do the people she cares about always go away? She touches her neck tenderly, just below her chin, then sings 'avant ta peau', and we know how rough her lover's kisses are. She exploits the sounds and cadences of French to great effect; I love the bite she gives to 'cerné de barricades', that propels her into her final restatement of the title. These details are everywhere in this song, and she has prepared it meticulously, as an actress would. Little wonder she is almost catatonic after exhausting her last breath, as if this man truly has finally killed her, or compelled her to take her own life. You almost expect to see blood and saliva to drip from her mouth as she finally reaches the end of that last note. It's a stunning evocation of depression, and incredibly courageous of her to bare her grief, and stay with it so unflinchingly. Amazing, and a great response from you, Anna. Check out her 'Caruso', another mesmerising evocation of near-death emotion, sung in Italian that is as salty as the Med. You will love it.
@@elizabethwhite1068 aw thanks! I always wish I could be more concise - I'm rubbish at Twitter! I felt inspired by this performance, and also by Anna, who is very charismatic herself 😚
You commentary on Laura's performance is in itself art. Anna Vaskelainen, too, has done a stunning reaction...the best I have ever come across and she does it with such ease. Your commentary is so powerful, I think I need to pen it down. Looking forward to any future comments from you as well. ❤
Dear Anna, I must say that You are a huge professional and very unique personality. As a human, You are really a very humble woman, with such life experience and everyone can easily see and hear how intelligent you are, both from the brain and from the heart. And now about Lara Fabian. She is probably the best female singer-songwriter of all times, who is on the world's singing scene for about thirty years. She is currently 50 years old and constantly getting better and better, like an old bottle of wine. This song is from her live concert in Paris "From Lara with love" twenty years ago, in 2001. This song is not her original, actually it is a cover of Serge's Lama and Alice's Donna french song. But Lara really was in it, she has lived all this song. She has also her original songs, which are true masterpieces. "Adagio" in Italian and in English, "Broken Vow" in English, "You are not from here" in English...She is better than Celine Dion....I adore You, Anna, and I truly and deeply love Lara....
I am a professional, glad it comes through! 😊 Happy to know you enjoy my content so much. I will be reacting to Lara in the future for sure, she is just phenomenal. xx
One of the best singer of her generation that has been amazing every vocal coach reacting on TH-cam. She should have been as popular as Celine Dion, but it was not meant to be. Another Quebec national treasure! I cry every single time I hear this song. The emotion is too overwhelming.
Il existe certainement des voix plus puissantes, mais j'ai jamais vu quelqu'un chanter une chanson avec autant d'intensité, de douceur et de pureté, merci pour la reaction et les analyses.
Loved your reaction. Thank you..the best review of this song I have seen. This was great. Welcome to Lara's world...she is the deep end of the pool. The best singer\songwriter\performer of the last 30 years. FYI - Always choose live with Lara...it needs to said. "Malade" is a practically the French national anthem. No one does it better. "Broken Vow" (English - she wrote it) is going to ruin your day. "Perdere L’amore" is a powerhouse Italian classic - a masterclass level of song and performance, in perfect Italian, that you will not be able to get out of your head (effortless perfection). "Mademoiselle Hyde" (English, tho she does another version in Russian) is written by Lara and Igor Krutoy the maestro, is, lets say, a slightly more mature version of Lara slaying a beautiful, intriguing, kind of sexy weird song with an almost Arabic feel...killer Lara. "Caruso", another great Italian classic, is flawless and my favorite version of the song ever done including Pavarotti (and that is really saying something). Just her and a piano and she crushes it. Her biggets hit, "Adagio", a must see as are all of the titles I have mentioned and many more, has been covered by everyone including the great Dimash, but Lara is the queen and no one does it better (It is a hundreds of years old classical song she wrote words to and resurrected. "Je T'aime" (I Love you) is written by Lara and now a French standard that everyone knows by heart. More on that at the bottom. Thank you again and, also, I envy you. You will be hearing and watching these live performances below for the first time. You you will have entered into Lara's world, and you will not come back. You will not want to. th-cam.com/video/zYZWbzEmWY0/w-d-xo.html - Lara Fabian - Caruso (Italian with English lyrics translation) th-cam.com/video/jKtNuLG5jAo/w-d-xo.html - Lara Fabian Adagio-(Live) From Lara With Love (In English) th-cam.com/video/FNVR0yK8Ec8/w-d-xo.html - Lara Fabian-Concert From Lara With Love "Broken Vow" (In English) th-cam.com/video/wtP7oFpp-6o/w-d-xo.html - Lara Fabian Perdere L'amore (Italian with English subs) th-cam.com/video/DuSDdjU4S8M/w-d-xo.html - Lara Fabian- Mademoiselle Hyde- live 2016 English with (Deutsch/Português subs) th-cam.com/video/l826rlBOn9w/w-d-xo.html - Lara Fabian - Je T'aime (French with English subtitle) th-cam.com/video/J309uTn8EsU/w-d-xo.html - Lara Fabian - Je t'aime _ (French with with English subtitles) All live. "Je T"aime" (I Love you) is there twice. Why? Lara fans know. The first one is a very good version live she did. The second one is, tissue alert, a live performance where her audience takes over the song, overwhelming Lara. They sing "We love you" to her while she attempts to sing "I love you" back. Watch it last of all the songs posted.
Now there you have a real powerhouse, you really should look at her singing “Caruso” and also “Adagio”. Maybe a double reaction of the last one with Floor, as already suggested. Thank you for this great reaction!!
No need for Floor cose she is only a singer not as such an Artistic Story Singer as Lara. Try also her interpretation of Barbra Streisand’ “Papa..” live in Montreal if I recall or “dis moi pourquoi je l’aime”( even if the UT video of it isn’t top quality) or just go along her live performances since as far back as the 1990 if you want.
Anna you are amazing! You just did the best analysis and reaction to this epic song I’ve ever seen,congratulations. I'd love to see you react, is so fantastic!
hello anna lara Fabian is not just a voice, it's an interpreter who lives what she sings, I was lucky to see her several times in concert and each time she makes us vibrate, it she is also the one who writes most of her songs a complete artist. I would like you to watch other videos of course Adagio and Caruso but there are many others
She's SO gorgeeeous😍!!! My my...the interpretation, the lyric, the emotion, the musical breaths/exaggerated breathing...POWERFUL!!! So intimate and captivating. She gives me goosebumps every time she opens her mouth😌 Thaaanks Anna♥️🎶
Thank you for showing me this very talented performer, Lara Fabian. I will seek out more videos of Lara in the near future. Thank you also for having a wonderfully expressive face and delivery, a joy to watch, always. Thanks too for the insight into the performences, i understand a little more about music each video.
This song is part of the french cultural heritage of these last few decades and Lara Fabian turned this masterpiece into an unforgetable moment of grace. By thé way, your analysis may be the most accurate of all I've listened to. Thank you for that 🙏 Greetings from 🇨🇵
Doesn't happen a lot, but some songs just crawl under your skin. I mainly listen to metal, but this performance is just out of this world. I look at Lara's video at least once a year. And every time she manages to get tears in my eyes with her voice and performance. So much better than the original by Serge Lama who also wrote this song. I wrote this before watching your video because I know the song just gets me every time. And I noticed you were affected by it too. Such an incredible singer she is. Wish I had been there in the audience. I also wish I could speak Finnish, so I could understand the literal words you spoke instead of the English translation. Just to say, I like watching you, sweet, like your voice.
The best incarnational expression of a very powerful song. There is no close second. The most pure powerful expression of a song I have ever heard and seen. There is no close second.
Hi Anna, I would very much like to add my appreciation for your concise and intriguing review of my muse Lara Fabian! I am a trained operatic tenor myself with 7 years tuition with the president of the singing teachers association Niven Miller, followed by 3 years at the Royal Northern college of Music and then a career in singing of all styles covering over 50 years, on TV, West End shows, and everything else all over the world. Now at nearly 70, I still perform now and again... But I have to confess I am obsessed with 'Katy', or Lara Fabian as she is known. Tonight I have listened to Je suis malade maybe 12 times..? (so far!). The tears pour from my eyes with every performance I hear. And I've heard this rendition literally hundreds of times! THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I was ever taught was 'tell the story', and no one does it better! Anyway, what I wanted to say was that I appreciated your review very much and agree with all you concluded, I have subscribed and look forward to hearing more from you! Thank you so much! You also told the story technically!
Welcome to the wonderful vocal world of Lara Fabian. For any singing teacher, Lara Fabian is a masterclass. It is not for nothing that she is the idol of DIMASH. For centerpieces you have to listen to his ADAGIO LIVE, BROKEN VOW FROM LARA WITH LOVE and CARUSO. The centerpiece is undoubtedly PERDERE L'AMORE FROM LARA WITH LOVE. Happy listening to music and thank you from Montreal.
I’ve listened to many reactions to this performance and yours is among the very best. Thank you for your insightful comments. I’d enjoy hearing your reaction to Lara’s performance of ‘Caruso’.
Hello from south France Anna, Glad of this reaction you made, very interesting from you. For me, one of the key moments in this song that you haven't mentioned is at 03.11mn on your video when she says "I'm tired, I'm exhausted pretending to be happy" and turns to the musicians. and embraces them with a broad gesture of the arm adding with a hoarse voice "when they are there" exactly like a very unhappy woman who would have drunk a little too much to drown her sorrow (what she said a little before in the song with these words "I drink every night, and all whiskeys, for me, taste the same") and which would create a sort of scandal in the street, as we have all seen that at least once in the street. It's just amazing how she happens like this, just a few words to change her tone like that. You used the expression "emotional roller coaster" and that's exactly it. If you want to spend another very emotional moment on stage with her, then I suggest you comment on "Je t'aime Lara Fabian French and English subtitles" from the "frenchrescue" TH-cam channel. You'll again be very surprised by what's happening. It's a very powerful moment, something quite unique on stage with this song. And to come back to this particularity that Lara Fabian has of being able to jump from one emotion to another, I'd ask you to be very careful when she's going to pronounce the word "Satan" and how with a single word she succeeds this "tour de force" to express a very deep feeling. It's remarkable of precision. For me Lara Fabian is a songstress Stradivarius. She can nail you to the wall with just one note. Few singers are capable of this feat, not even Céline Dion. Édith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour and a few others were capable of it. This is where all the art of "the school of French song"; enter into the character you're playing. If you watch "Jacques Brel, Ces Gens-La live English subs.mp4" on the "Надица" channel you'll understand what I mean. In all case, thank you again, you win a new subscriber :)
I can't believe I've never heard of this woman! She's unbelievable, her rendition nearly made me emotional, it's like a play or a musical but also includes one of the greatest voices I've ever heard! Incredible
Salut anna, je suis ravi que aprenne l'existance de la plus grande vocaliste et interprète de la planète ai eu. Pour Barbra Straisand elle est la plus grande interprète, pour moi aussi car toutes les Divas vivantes ou disparues chantent très très bien mais Lara amène son interprétation et sa qualité technique vraiment de haut niveau a des sommets que peuvent faire et cerises sur le gateau elle le fait dans plus de dix langues différentes et là je pense pour le moment il n'y en a pas d'autres, bonne découverte de cette immense artiste , auteur compositeur de beaucoup de ces chansons,les "covers" qu'elle a interpréter comme celui-ci sont à des niveaux inégalables pour n'importe quel chanteur, (Serge Lama l'auteur et l'interprète de cette chanson a pleuré lorsqu'il a entendu Lara chanter"je suis malade" et a dit que Lara avait transporté sa chanson dans une dimension jusqu'alors inconnue, une interprétation techniquement émotionnelle de très très haut niveau, un salut cordial du sud de la France,André
Lara also does something unique. So many videos have been created by vocal coaches and instead of being the usual clinically critical of the artist they are dealing with, instead it brings nearly all these vocal coaches to tears. Amazing stuff.
This is a masterclass performance. I loved your reaction. you should watch until the very very end - she is visibly drained. so moving. totally committed to the emotion of the song.
That's one of the best examples of story telling I've ever heard.. "Please grab your tissue - alert" .. But a great choice from you, Anna!!! I can't wait til Friday!! 🙂🙂
Thank you for your reaction of Lara...Remenber that Lara speaks like 7 languages and sings in 10 languages...Please continue reacting to her with another amazing songs like: CARUSO (1999 Live version) singing in italian...JE T'AIME (2002 Paris Live version) singing in french....TI AMO COSI (Singing a trío with Dimash and Aida Garifullina) 2019 Moscow Live version in italian...
Lara is an unparalleled, mind-blowing performer. No one inhabits a song better. And then there's that magical hair!!! :D Thanks for the link to Anna Eriksson's video. Quite an astounding singer and performer in her own right. I loved hearing it in Finnish! Definitely very much a singer in the same mold as Lara.
Great breakdown of the performance. I'm a grown man but this song gave me the tears when I first watched it. I felt every pain and emotions from Lara. She put her heart and soul into this performance. I've been a fan ever since.
All of her performances from this TV concert called From Lara With Love are stellar. I would suggest reacting to Adagio, You're Not From Here, Caruso & Broken Vow.
Anna Vaskelainen. From Finnish to French, Then to English and back again full circle. You are a vocal athlete no doubt. Another wonderful analysis. Can't count myself as a Lara Fabian fan, but I will take this journey with you for sure. Take care Anna. Love your content.
Great analysis. That cry/laugh at the end for me is the most powerful and the most tragic part of this song.. all through out the song I was sure the "sickness" she's referring to is physical, but when i heard that last burst of emotions, that laughter mixed with a cry.... she really sounded and looked like a person who became seriously mentally ill from all that pain and despare.. Oh, I just LOVE her, she gave more credible acting in these few minutes than more Hollywood actors do in a whole movie! ❤
Hi from France. She laughs because she turns mad. The madness comes from her inextricable love for someone who don't really love her. The song was written by Serge Lama on a true history he lived. The music was written by Alice Donna after listinening Serge confide.
Thank you for appreciating that you just watched a masterpiece. Lara is a living international legend who sings (WELL) in 8 languages; her career spans decades, and during that time she inspired many artists, the latest one is Dimash. He is a fan of hers, and he covered many of her songs including Adagio, Mademoiselle Hyde, Love is a dream (she worked with Igor Krutoy way before Dimash as well), and they had some duets together despite that she's close to the end of her career. Please react to "Caruso". It's an Italian song that has been covered by many sings including the great late Pavarotti. But it's Lara's version that's my favorite (while the video's quality is not great, the version with "Digital Clarity" has very good sound). Lara shines most in her LIVE performances: th-cam.com/video/28CMa1aOXuU/w-d-xo.html
Super reaction and analysis ! Lara is a fabulous story teller and performance artist She is as good as they get ! She puts her heart and soul into every performance ! I would suggest her performance of "Caruso " if you want to her another wonderful performance by Lara ! Thank you Anna for your in depth and always informative analysis ! Have a great weekend and keep posting !👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
Shout out from Portugal. Loved you reaction. I lived for a couple of years in Finland and had the chance to get to know (and incorporate) your culture and traditions. To make a long story short, you, in your reations whithin your reaction , tear down all the theoritical concept that nordic people have no heart, are to cold or have no emotional response to sensible subjects. Fact that i come to realise during my staying there. Inspite being a metal/rock inclinated being, i come to realise that some "artists" have that something that you can't put a finger on it. That is the case of this marvelous performer, Lara Fabian, that, no matter of the style of music that she is embodying, she does embody it, like she lived the whole story to the core and makes you believe and feel trough your core that it is real as much it was for her. Impressive!!!
Hello from the States. It's nice to see that a pro (you) can feel the emotion in Lara's performance in your heart. If you want to see the most incredible performance I have seen in my 70+ years grab some tissues and watch her je t'aime in Paris 20 years ago.
The one and only Lara Fabian, elle est une chansonniere tres magnifique, extraordinaire et incredible. Anna, thank you for the great remarks and comments in this video.
Excellent analysis. You highlighted some things neither I nor anyone else has before as far as I know. Fabian tweaked this song pretty substantially to make it her own. Remarkable that it's a cover, isn't it? She composes and writes the lyrics (in French, English, Italian and Spanish) for the vast majority of her songs. Yes, please more Fabian reactions! I'm DYING to understand her original You're Not From Here (from this same concert From Lara With Live.) Dying! Please. Pretty please! It sounds so deceptively easy-breezy and gentle but there is astonishing seemless vocal magic going on. As I said, dying to understand it better. 🤣 Thank you for this delightful reaction & analysis.
@@annavaskelainen I finally got a chance to come back by and check out your link to Anna Erikkson. Fantastic. I would bet she lists Fabian as a huge influence. I mean she has to know and love Fabian to translate and perform the song in such a similar way, right? Even though Serge Lama was the originator and lyricist and Dalida made a splash with her cover, Fabian's cover is famous. Will check out more of Ericksson's work. Thanks for the tip! And waiting on tenterhooks for more Fabian analysis from you. 😉
@@jenesisjones6706 I don't think I understand your point, to be honest. Reaction videos: everyday, sincere people gushing, "Wow! So good! Such a wonderful voice! sO eMoTiOnAl!" Analysis from those trained in the art: "Wow! I really admire x, y & z techniques employed. This thing here was amazing & here's why it's so impressive." Why would you want the former/complain about the latter? I know which one I find most valuable for my time invested watching. Unless I misunderstood what you were trying to convey with your comment. Do you take issue with my use of "analysis" to describe this video? In which case, 🤷♀️. To me it's the perfect balance of a first time viewer's realtime response + expert highlighting a handful of craft elements. I quite like the approach.
@@annavaskelainen While I'm here, 😁, the link for my above suggestion You're Not From Here th-cam.com/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/w-d-xo.html It remains a mind-blowing mystery to me. 😲
Been a fan of Lara for over 20 years, since her self titled CD, "Lara Fabian". I find that she sings many songs like this, and has this un matched way of becoming the words and meanings, and singing in such a "tragic" kind of style, she makes you FEEL the song, not only hearing it, but fully feeling it! She still amazes me every time I watch/listen/feel, her songs....
First time hearing Lara as well. The first thing that comes to mind is the way she introduces the song in a soft tone and then builds throughout the song to the crescendo similar to Dimash's style of song building. Very nice! And thank you to Anna for another superb analysis. She is such a classy lady.
Other way around. Dimash often channels Lara. It's truly extraordinary. And I guarantee you that the Lara rabbit hole is the greatest there is. 30 years of writing/composing/performing, not just multi-lingual but multi-genre, sexy, sweet and funny, and a phenomenal human being. The concert this is from is a master class all the way through, but for fun I recommend Tango and Si Tu M'aime from the Nue concert 2002, just to see her other sides.
I have seen many many reactions to this song, and yours was one of the very few great ones! Thank you. Please review some more Lara Fabian. You have twenty years of her singing to get through after this one! Cheers!
@@annavaskelainen Before you start on her later work, I suggest you look at two performances predating 2000.Many people have ralready eacted to Je Suis Malade, Adagio, Caruso, Perdere l'Amore, and You're not from here, all from her From Lara with Love concert in 2000. No-one has yet reacted to her 99 Brussels performance of "Dites-moi pouquoi je l'aime". It's in Fremch. The video quality is poor, but the sound is good and I suspect you will enjoy it. Another one is her stage performance of Extrait de Yentl from her "Pure" concert, in which she covers two recorded songs of Barbra Streisand in a non-stop 8 minute live version. Only a couple of reviewers have looked at this one. If you do one or both of these, her fans will love you. What a powerhouse, as you said! Cheers!
Ana,......as emotional as the performance was,...its effect on your expression was as profound, what beauty in the human emotion when observed for its purity. 🙏 Outstanding teaching!
She performed a couple of times in Helsinki and is considered a diva in Russia. She has many fans in Ukraine, Romania, even Siberia, Greece, Czech Republic, Brazil, Mexico, France, Belgium ( where she was born) and Quebec ( where she lives now). But she is much less popular in other countries such as Germany, Italy or Spain. She is virtually unknown in the USA.
I felt a little of the vibe of Falling in Reverse, the building of hysteria. Looking back, the very short laugh you pointed out really has a huge impact to convey this. Together with the increased intensity of course. Fun how complex an art performing is 🥰.
For somebody more attuned to taste the point at which she sings 'all the whiskeys have the same taste' is the more profound for me, somehow. That is, it's also a great song, not just a great rendition. The French and the Italians can do this stuff.
Beautiful ANNA welcome to french songs after S O S of DIMASH you expose "Je suis malade" with LARA we loved your reactions and explanantions very very good.Big KISS from PARIS.
Masterful piece of method acting. It blends well with the beautiful and powerful way of singing. It lifts the performance right up into the sky. Much respect for this grand artist. I have to mention the flowing accents of the piano too because I love it so much. And on top a good and passionate reaction. Can't ask for more. I thank you for that!
Hi Anna. Great reaction as always to one of the best singers you will listen to! So glad that you are reacting to her. She is incredible and sings with so much emotion, feeling and passion. She is my favourite female singer. I highly recommend that you react to You're not from here, Broken Vow, Caruso, Adagio and Perdere l'amore. They are amazing like all her songs! Greetings from London 😀
I loved watching your reaction to this - you literally picked up and commented on every tiny, little - seemingly insignificant thing that makes this performance out of this world. Lara has of course as amazing voice. But it's the seemingly small things that make it ridiculously amazing. The short, almost weeping breaths she takes at points (when we know very well she knows how to breathe from her stomach but it's all part of the performance), the "growl" when she says "qui chantera..." before the a cappella part like she's disgusted with herself and her voice but has crossed over to the dark side, the crazy laugh after the "je suis malade, c'est ca! je suis malade!" towards the end. Everything. Really love this reaction, and all the notes you pointed out to your viewers. I've watched many reactions to this video but your dissection was top notch
I loved your reaction. This is Lara Fabian's Tour de Force, in my opinion. Definitely check out her "Caruso" from the same concert, a performance which alone made me an instant lifelong fan of hers.
Once again you have been fantastic the song is well known to me for being half French, but I have to insist that you are the best that this platform offers for your beauty, sensitivity and work, I bow down to you and wish you the best in this life
Wow!! I’ve watched this song being reached to way to many times to count.. and you did an amazing job! LOVED IT!! I’m subscribing to hopefully see you explore the amazing world of Lara Fabian. The entire From Lara With Love concert is mind blowing!!! I would suggest Caruso, Adagio or Broken Vow from this concert next... but don’t stop there!! Her career spans over 30 years and is filled with stunning performances just like this one!! I can’t wait to see your next reaction 😊
❤️ I am super happy you liked this one! Thank you for your comment! Welcome to the gang Stefani, I am glad to have you with me. 😊 More Lara is coming, I promise!
Fantastic reaction. You nailed it. Lara is an amazing performer, not only because she has an amazing voice and impeccable technique, but she embodies the song. Every word has an emotion attached to it. Next “Caruso” ?
Wow, what a beautifull way to describe all the emotional and technical roller coaster she goes through during this magnificent performance. Your analysis is spot on, and again, the words you chose to describe it were just fabulous. Thank you!
Hello, I am French, and a musician for 25 years, I am delighted to discover your video, it is the most brilliant analysis I have ever seen. Thanks to you I discovered a much more subtle dimension concerning this ched of work. Thank you very much, you have a crazy talent too !
This song was written by French singer Serge Lama who released it in 1973. The most popular and emotional version is from the renamed singer Dalida the same year. You should check it.
That's not character - that's personal ... from a difficult time in her life. One out of the same Pandoras Box: Je T'Aime live from Paris, where the audience sings to her to comfort her during some tough times. Priceless :-)
Thank you. Loved it. You are perfect. Dimash looks up to her and picked a few tricks from her. She sings in several languages and every one of them spoken clearly. Yes, Caruso, Adagio and Broken Vows if you feel like crying a bit.
I loved your reaction to this dramatic and intense song. I love your language too and it's even funny that it goes from French to Finnish, from Finnish to English in the cc, and from there to Spanish in my brain and back, haha. However, you manage to analyze both technically and Lara Fabián's interpretation. Thank you Anna. A big greeting from 🗿Chile🇨🇱
@@annavaskelainen Thank you for your answer 😊 I am somewhat funny perhaps, but I appreciate your reactions and I always see them, although sometimes I do not comment. Maybe I'm shy but I like your vocal analysis. A hug from a distance, from 🗿Chile🇨🇱😊
You're the FIRST to point that crazy laugh there! It's my favorite moment of the song: she admitted that she's not only sick and fragile, she's going crazy!
Malade in french does have a double meaning. Meaning both sick and mentally crazy. Good catch.
'Vocal Coach'? Your skills are far beyond the standard. This is the best most comprehensive informative professional analysis, yet seen, of what Lara does in this performance. And she does a LOT. No-one does love & loss with the sensitivity nuance power and minute intentionality of performance like Lara. 'Please see her Caruso'. Regards L.
Thank you very much. ❤️ She is truly exceptional isn't she! I'll put your suggestion to my list. xx
Eu ia comentar isso. Muita delicadeza e sensibilidade nos comentários dela. Sou fã da Lara.
You're right. She's something special. She's so good that even high-level singers can't replicate the emotionality of her performance in my opinion.
its not often we see a singer _become_ the song.... Lara becomes the the character... the woman in despair... the 1st time she says "malade" her voice is small and frail... the 2nd time its a wail of despair... and we're right there, in that room with her, bearing witness to this circumstance and how it is affecting the character she is portraying.... and it is 100% real and believable..
An outstanding example of emotive artistry...
Lara Fabian's strength is her voice and her talent for conveying her emotions through these songs. I think she didn't get enough recognition.
a great singer.
Congratulatioms......You are amomg the rare reactor who heard, after the accapella section, the two "ah ah" inserted in her cry. I love your reaction to her performance of that song. She is simply marvelous!
😇🙏🎵
I've always said this song reminds me of a monologue before the actor dramatically dies/kills self. The passion, pain and words themselves are an outpouring of so much personal cleansing it gives me goosebumps Everytime.
if you are impressed with this one, you must watch, Je t'aime (Live in Paris 2001), one of the most magical live performance moments you are ever likely to see.
After listening and watching this performance many times I have to admit: THIS is a masterpiece. Don't know any performance so emotional and on point. Stunning.
The art that conceals art. She presents a very believable breakdown while balanced precariously on a high wire of vocal technique. The winds of emotion rip at her back and forth, but she does not fall off. Her attention to detail is extraordinary; she sings like a little girl before she recalls being one, you wonder why her mother was going out and leaving her, just as the man she is singing about treats her bed like a railway station. Do the people she cares about always go away? She touches her neck tenderly, just below her chin, then sings 'avant ta peau', and we know how rough her lover's kisses are. She exploits the sounds and cadences of French to great effect; I love the bite she gives to 'cerné de barricades', that propels her into her final restatement of the title. These details are everywhere in this song, and she has prepared it meticulously, as an actress would. Little wonder she is almost catatonic after exhausting her last breath, as if this man truly has finally killed her, or compelled her to take her own life. You almost expect to see blood and saliva to drip from her mouth as she finally reaches the end of that last note. It's a stunning evocation of depression, and incredibly courageous of her to bare her grief, and stay with it so unflinchingly. Amazing, and a great response from you, Anna.
Check out her 'Caruso', another mesmerising evocation of near-death emotion, sung in Italian that is as salty as the Med. You will love it.
Wow, your descriptions are phenomenal! That was almost as emotional to read as the song is to hear/see.
@@elizabethwhite1068 aw thanks! I always wish I could be more concise - I'm rubbish at Twitter! I felt inspired by this performance, and also by Anna, who is very charismatic herself 😚
What a lovely description. That was a ballad in its own right. Love the way you expressed your thoughts, was gorgeous. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You commentary on Laura's performance is in itself art. Anna Vaskelainen, too, has done a stunning reaction...the best I have ever come across and she does it with such ease.
Your commentary is so powerful, I think I need to pen it down. Looking forward to any future comments from you as well. ❤
Dear Anna, I must say that You are a huge professional and very unique personality. As a human, You are really a very humble woman, with such life experience and everyone can easily see and hear how intelligent you are, both from the brain and from the heart. And now about Lara Fabian. She is probably the best female singer-songwriter of all times, who is on the world's singing scene for about thirty years. She is currently 50 years old and constantly getting better and better, like an old bottle of wine. This song is from her live concert in Paris "From Lara with love" twenty years ago, in 2001. This song is not her original, actually it is a cover of Serge's Lama and Alice's Donna french song. But Lara really was in it, she has lived all this song. She has also her original songs, which are true masterpieces. "Adagio" in Italian and in English, "Broken Vow" in English, "You are not from here" in English...She is better than Celine Dion....I adore You, Anna, and I truly and deeply love Lara....
I am a professional, glad it comes through! 😊 Happy to know you enjoy my content so much.
I will be reacting to Lara in the future for sure, she is just phenomenal. xx
One of the best singer of her generation that has been amazing every vocal coach reacting on TH-cam. She should have been as popular as Celine Dion, but it was not meant to be. Another Quebec national treasure! I cry every single time I hear this song. The emotion is too overwhelming.
Yes. Lara Fabian, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and maybe Mylene Farmer, the best pop female singers in 2000.
Il existe certainement des voix plus puissantes, mais j'ai jamais vu quelqu'un chanter une chanson avec autant d'intensité, de douceur et de pureté, merci pour la reaction et les analyses.
Merci pour cette réaction de l'une de plus belle chanson française. Bisous de 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Loved your reaction. Thank you..the best review of this song I have seen. This was great. Welcome to Lara's world...she is the deep end of the pool. The best singer\songwriter\performer of the last 30 years. FYI - Always choose live with Lara...it needs to said. "Malade" is a practically the French national anthem. No one does it better. "Broken Vow" (English - she wrote it) is going to ruin your day. "Perdere L’amore" is a powerhouse Italian classic - a masterclass level of song and performance, in perfect Italian, that you will not be able to get out of your head (effortless perfection). "Mademoiselle Hyde" (English, tho she does another version in Russian) is written by Lara and Igor Krutoy the maestro, is, lets say, a slightly more mature version of Lara slaying a beautiful, intriguing, kind of sexy weird song with an almost Arabic feel...killer Lara. "Caruso", another great Italian classic, is flawless and my favorite version of the song ever done including Pavarotti (and that is really saying something). Just her and a piano and she crushes it. Her biggets hit, "Adagio", a must see as are all of the titles I have mentioned and many more, has been covered by everyone including the great Dimash, but Lara is the queen and no one does it better (It is a hundreds of years old classical song she wrote words to and resurrected. "Je T'aime" (I Love you) is written by Lara and now a French standard that everyone knows by heart. More on that at the bottom.
Thank you again and, also, I envy you. You will be hearing and watching these live performances below for the first time. You you will have entered into Lara's world, and you will not come back. You will not want to.

All live. "Je T"aime" (I Love you) is there twice. Why? Lara fans know. The first one is a very good version live she did. The second one is, tissue alert, a live performance where her audience takes over the song, overwhelming Lara. They sing "We love you" to her while she attempts to sing "I love you" back. Watch it last of all the songs posted.
Totally agree with you in every way. She is my favourite female singer ever. I listen to her every day without fail!
Greetings from London
Now there you have a real powerhouse, you really should look at her singing “Caruso” and also “Adagio”. Maybe a double reaction of the last one with Floor, as already suggested.
Thank you for this great reaction!!
No need for Floor cose she is only a singer not as such an Artistic Story Singer as Lara. Try also her interpretation of Barbra Streisand’ “Papa..” live in Montreal if I recall or “dis moi pourquoi je l’aime”( even if the UT video of it isn’t top quality) or just go along her live performances since as far back as the 1990 if you want.
@@franciscouderq1100 LOL
@@franciscouderq1100 There is always a need for Floor. Not to mention Sara Squadrani's cover of Adagio in italian.
@@franciscouderq1100 Floor "only" a singer. LOOOOOL
Anna you are amazing! You just did the best analysis and reaction to this epic song I’ve ever seen,congratulations.
I'd love to see you react, is so fantastic!
Thank you James. ❤️ Good to know you liked this one! I appreciate your feedback, as always! xx
hello anna lara Fabian is not just a voice, it's an interpreter who lives what she sings, I was lucky to see her several times in concert and each time she makes us vibrate, it she is also the one who writes most of her songs a complete artist. I would like you to watch other videos of course Adagio and Caruso but there are many others
She's SO gorgeeeous😍!!! My my...the interpretation, the lyric, the emotion, the musical breaths/exaggerated breathing...POWERFUL!!! So intimate and captivating. She gives me goosebumps every time she opens her mouth😌 Thaaanks Anna♥️🎶
She iiiiiss! You're welcome ;)
Anna's reaction and comments are just as brilliant as Lara's performance. It increases the appreciation of the performance.
your interpretation of this version of the song is impeccable. you are a beautiful and extremely intelligent young lady
Thank you for showing me this very talented performer, Lara Fabian. I will seek out more videos of Lara in the near future. Thank you also for having a wonderfully expressive face and delivery, a joy to watch, always. Thanks too for the insight into the performences, i understand a little more about music each video.
This song is part of the french cultural heritage of these last few decades and Lara Fabian turned this masterpiece into an unforgetable moment of grace.
By thé way, your analysis may be the most accurate of all I've listened to. Thank you for that 🙏
Greetings from 🇨🇵
Doesn't happen a lot, but some songs just crawl under your skin. I mainly listen to metal, but this performance is just out of this world. I look at Lara's video at least once a year. And every time she manages to get tears in my eyes with her voice and performance. So much better than the original by Serge Lama who also wrote this song.
I wrote this before watching your video because I know the song just gets me every time. And I noticed you were affected by it too. Such an incredible singer she is. Wish I had been there in the audience.
I also wish I could speak Finnish, so I could understand the literal words you spoke instead of the English translation. Just to say, I like watching you, sweet, like your voice.
Hard to believe that it's been a couple of years already ty fyi Lara is doing a new tour this year
I know right!
She is? Wonderful!
How are YOU doing Vic? :)
@@annavaskelainen I'm doing wonderful just waiting for spring i guess and how are you?
The best incarnational expression of a very powerful song. There is no close second. The most pure powerful expression of a song I have ever heard and seen. There is no close second.
Hi Anna, I would very much like to add my appreciation for your concise and intriguing review of my muse Lara Fabian! I am a trained operatic tenor myself with 7 years tuition with the president of the singing teachers association Niven Miller, followed by 3 years at the Royal Northern college of Music and then a career in singing of all styles covering over 50 years, on TV, West End shows, and everything else all over the world. Now at nearly 70, I still perform now and again... But I have to confess I am obsessed with 'Katy', or Lara Fabian as she is known. Tonight I have listened to Je suis malade maybe 12 times..? (so far!). The tears pour from my eyes with every performance I hear. And I've heard this rendition literally hundreds of times! THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I was ever taught was 'tell the story', and no one does it better!
Anyway, what I wanted to say was that I appreciated your review very much and agree with all you concluded, I have subscribed and look forward to hearing more from you! Thank you so much! You also told the story technically!
Welcome to the wonderful vocal world of Lara Fabian. For any singing teacher, Lara Fabian is a masterclass. It is not for nothing that she is the idol of DIMASH. For centerpieces you have to listen to his ADAGIO LIVE, BROKEN VOW FROM LARA WITH LOVE and CARUSO. The centerpiece is undoubtedly PERDERE L'AMORE FROM LARA WITH LOVE. Happy listening to music and thank you from Montreal.
Thank you for your message! Greetings to Montreal!
Lara is amazing. She manages to turn this sad story into art.
Congratulations on your review.
Hug from Leo.
Porto Alegre/Brazil.
Greetings to Brazil! You described this very well. This truly is art.
I’ve listened to many reactions to this performance and yours is among the very best. Thank you for your insightful comments. I’d enjoy hearing your reaction to Lara’s performance of ‘Caruso’.
❤️
Hello from south France Anna, Glad of this reaction you made, very interesting from you.
For me, one of the key moments in this song that you haven't mentioned is at 03.11mn on your video when she says "I'm tired, I'm exhausted pretending to be happy" and turns to the musicians. and embraces them with a broad gesture of the arm adding with a hoarse voice "when they are there" exactly like a very unhappy woman who would have drunk a little too much to drown her sorrow (what she said a little before in the song with these words "I drink every night, and all whiskeys, for me, taste the same") and which would create a sort of scandal in the street, as we have all seen that at least once in the street. It's just amazing how she happens like this, just a few words to change her tone like that.
You used the expression "emotional roller coaster" and that's exactly it.
If you want to spend another very emotional moment on stage with her, then I suggest you comment on "Je t'aime Lara Fabian French and English subtitles" from the "frenchrescue" TH-cam channel.
You'll again be very surprised by what's happening. It's a very powerful moment, something quite unique on stage with this song.
And to come back to this particularity that Lara Fabian has of being able to jump from one emotion to another, I'd ask you to be very careful when she's going to pronounce the word "Satan" and how with a single word she succeeds this "tour de force" to express a very deep feeling. It's remarkable of precision.
For me Lara Fabian is a songstress Stradivarius. She can nail you to the wall with just one note. Few singers are capable of this feat, not even Céline Dion.
Édith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour and a few others were capable of it. This is where all the art of "the school of French song"; enter into the character you're playing.
If you watch "Jacques Brel, Ces Gens-La live English subs.mp4" on the "Надица" channel you'll understand what I mean.
In all case, thank you again, you win a new subscriber :)
That was a fantastic informative reaction! What makes it even better is that it's the first Lara Fabian reaction that didn't mention Dimash!
Thank you, I am glad you liked it! 😇 Hahahah oh well.
I can't believe I've never heard of this woman! She's unbelievable, her rendition nearly made me emotional, it's like a play or a musical but also includes one of the greatest voices I've ever heard! Incredible
Hello, beautiful Anna!Lara is a great and unique singer!Thank you, it was very interesting!You are a real professional!Excellent reaction.🌹😊🇷🇺
Hi Pavel, glad to see you down here in the comments as always! Thank you for your kind words. 😊
I absolutely fell in love with Lara. ❤️
I couldn't believe when I found out this song was NOT written by her, or for her.
She felt it so strongly.
Just an amazing performance.
Yessss. She truly made it her own here.
Salut anna, je suis ravi que aprenne l'existance de la plus grande vocaliste et interprète de la planète ai eu. Pour Barbra Straisand elle est la plus grande interprète, pour moi aussi car toutes les Divas vivantes ou disparues chantent très très bien mais Lara amène son interprétation et sa qualité technique vraiment de haut niveau a des sommets que peuvent faire et cerises sur le gateau elle le fait dans plus de dix langues différentes et là je pense pour le moment il n'y en a pas d'autres, bonne découverte de cette immense artiste , auteur compositeur de beaucoup de ces chansons,les "covers" qu'elle a interpréter comme celui-ci sont à des niveaux inégalables pour n'importe quel chanteur, (Serge Lama l'auteur et l'interprète de cette chanson a pleuré lorsqu'il a entendu Lara chanter"je suis malade" et a dit que Lara avait transporté sa chanson dans une dimension jusqu'alors inconnue, une interprétation techniquement émotionnelle de très très haut niveau, un salut cordial du sud de la France,André
❤️
Lara also does something unique. So many videos have been created by vocal coaches and instead of being the usual clinically critical of the artist they are dealing with, instead it brings nearly all these vocal coaches to tears. Amazing stuff.
Let me just say that last part is held by Lara for over 15 seconds--15! Incredible breath control. Magnificent performance!
This is a masterclass performance. I loved your reaction. you should watch until the very very end - she is visibly drained. so moving. totally committed to the emotion of the song.
anyone would be drained after a performance like this!
That's one of the best examples of story telling I've ever heard.. "Please grab your tissue - alert" .. But a great choice from you, Anna!!! I can't wait til Friday!! 🙂🙂
Thank you Anna for an incredible reaction to such a beautiful performance.
Happy to know you liked it Bernard! xx
Thank you for your reaction of Lara...Remenber that Lara speaks like 7 languages and sings in 10 languages...Please continue reacting to her with another amazing songs like: CARUSO (1999 Live version) singing in italian...JE T'AIME (2002 Paris Live version) singing in french....TI AMO COSI (Singing a trío with Dimash and Aida Garifullina) 2019 Moscow Live version in italian...
A great song needs a great analysis and reaction and you have very well delivered Anna!!! Caruso is also great from Lara!!! Take care!!!
Thanks Dirk! :) ❤️ I'll put Caruso to my list!
Wow, for all the reactions I have seen so far, you are the only one who manage to see when she definitely loose it, great reaction.
Glad to offer something new!
Lara is an unparalleled, mind-blowing performer. No one inhabits a song better. And then there's that magical hair!!! :D Thanks for the link to Anna Eriksson's video. Quite an astounding singer and performer in her own right. I loved hearing it in Finnish! Definitely very much a singer in the same mold as Lara.
Great breakdown of the performance. I'm a grown man but this song gave me the tears when I first watched it. I felt every pain and emotions from Lara. She put her heart and soul into this performance. I've been a fan ever since.
Great analysis of Lara. I'm so glad that I found your channel. Thank you, Anna.
Thank you Ward!
All of her performances from this TV concert called From Lara With Love are stellar. I would suggest reacting to Adagio, You're Not From Here, Caruso & Broken Vow.
Anna Vaskelainen. From Finnish to French, Then to English and back again full circle. You are a vocal athlete no doubt. Another wonderful analysis. Can't count myself as a Lara Fabian fan, but I will take this journey with you for sure. Take care Anna. Love your content.
❤️
Great analysis. That cry/laugh at the end for me is the most powerful and the most tragic part of this song.. all through out the song I was sure the "sickness" she's referring to is physical, but when i heard that last burst of emotions, that laughter mixed with a cry.... she really sounded and looked like a person who became seriously mentally ill from all that pain and despare.. Oh, I just LOVE her, she gave more credible acting in these few minutes than more Hollywood actors do in a whole movie! ❤
Hi from France. She laughs because she turns mad. The madness comes from her inextricable love for someone who don't really love her. The song was written by Serge Lama on a true history he lived. The music was written by Alice Donna after listinening Serge confide.
Thank you for appreciating that you just watched a masterpiece. Lara is a living international legend who sings (WELL) in 8 languages; her career spans decades, and during that time she inspired many artists, the latest one is Dimash. He is a fan of hers, and he covered many of her songs including Adagio, Mademoiselle Hyde, Love is a dream (she worked with Igor Krutoy way before Dimash as well), and they had some duets together despite that she's close to the end of her career. Please react to "Caruso". It's an Italian song that has been covered by many sings including the great late Pavarotti. But it's Lara's version that's my favorite (while the video's quality is not great, the version with "Digital Clarity" has very good sound). Lara shines most in her LIVE performances: th-cam.com/video/28CMa1aOXuU/w-d-xo.html
Super reaction and analysis ! Lara is a fabulous story teller and performance artist She is as good as they get ! She puts her heart and soul into every performance ! I would suggest her performance of "Caruso " if you want to her another wonderful performance by Lara ! Thank you Anna for your in depth and always informative analysis ! Have a great weekend and keep posting !👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
AGAIN - BEAUTIFLLY CLEAR ELEGANT PERCORMANCE REACTION --
Shout out from Portugal. Loved you reaction. I lived for a couple of years in Finland and had the chance to get to know (and incorporate) your culture and traditions.
To make a long story short, you, in your reations whithin your reaction , tear down all the theoritical concept that nordic people have no heart, are to cold or have no emotional response to sensible subjects. Fact that i come to realise during my staying there. Inspite being a metal/rock inclinated being, i come to realise that some "artists" have that something that you can't put a finger on it. That is the case of this marvelous performer, Lara Fabian, that, no matter of the style of music that she is embodying, she does embody it, like she lived the whole story to the core and makes you believe and feel trough your core that it is real as much it was for her. Impressive!!!
Greetings to Portugal! Thank you for your lovely message Paulo. 😊 You wrote very beautifully, like a poet!
Hello from the States. It's nice to see that a pro (you) can feel the emotion in Lara's performance in your heart. If you want to see the most incredible performance I have seen in my 70+ years grab some tissues and watch her je t'aime in Paris 20 years ago.
Thank you for your kind words Jim! ❤️ I'll make sure to react to more of her performances. xx
The one and only Lara Fabian, elle est une chansonniere tres magnifique, extraordinaire et incredible.
Anna, thank you for the great remarks and comments in this video.
Excellent analysis. You highlighted some things neither I nor anyone else has before as far as I know.
Fabian tweaked this song pretty substantially to make it her own. Remarkable that it's a cover, isn't it?
She composes and writes the lyrics (in French, English, Italian and Spanish) for the vast majority of her songs.
Yes, please more Fabian reactions!
I'm DYING to understand her original You're Not From Here (from this same concert From Lara With Live.) Dying! Please. Pretty please! It sounds so deceptively easy-breezy and gentle but there is astonishing seemless vocal magic going on. As I said, dying to understand it better. 🤣
Thank you for this delightful reaction & analysis.
yay! Glad to provide something new! 😊 She really made this song her own.
I'll put your suggestion to my list! ❤️ Be well! xx
@@annavaskelainen I finally got a chance to come back by and check out your link to Anna Erikkson. Fantastic. I would bet she lists Fabian as a huge influence. I mean she has to know and love Fabian to translate and perform the song in such a similar way, right? Even though Serge Lama was the originator and lyricist and Dalida made a splash with her cover, Fabian's cover is famous.
Will check out more of Ericksson's work. Thanks for the tip!
And waiting on tenterhooks for more Fabian analysis from you. 😉
I thought this was a REACTION video...confused now. Analysis is way different to reaction.
@@jenesisjones6706 I don't think I understand your point, to be honest.
Reaction videos: everyday, sincere people gushing, "Wow! So good! Such a wonderful voice! sO eMoTiOnAl!"
Analysis from those trained in the art: "Wow! I really admire x, y & z techniques employed. This thing here was amazing & here's why it's so impressive."
Why would you want the former/complain about the latter? I know which one I find most valuable for my time invested watching.
Unless I misunderstood what you were trying to convey with your comment. Do you take issue with my use of "analysis" to describe this video? In which case, 🤷♀️. To me it's the perfect balance of a first time viewer's realtime response + expert highlighting a handful of craft elements. I quite like the approach.
@@annavaskelainen While I'm here, 😁, the link for my above suggestion You're Not From Here th-cam.com/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/w-d-xo.html

большое спасибо за реакцию.kiitos paljon reaktiostanne.
I watch a lot of reactions and YOU my dear are one of the best reactors for sure!
Thank you! ❤️
It's hard to believe that some one who hasn't gone through this kind of pain, can do this song justice.
Thank you
You're welcome! ❤️
Been a fan of Lara for over 20 years, since her self titled CD, "Lara Fabian". I find that she sings many songs like this, and has this un matched way of becoming the words and meanings, and singing in such a "tragic" kind of style, she makes you FEEL the song, not only hearing it, but fully feeling it! She still amazes me every time I watch/listen/feel, her songs....
Very well said there. :)
I fell down the rabbithole on this one. She is a goddess. ❤🎉
First time hearing Lara as well. The first thing that comes to mind is the way she introduces the song in a soft tone and then builds throughout the song to the crescendo similar to Dimash's style of song building. Very nice! And thank you to Anna for another superb analysis. She is such a classy lady.
Dimash is a huge fan of Lara.
Other way around. Dimash often channels Lara. It's truly extraordinary. And I guarantee you that the Lara rabbit hole is the greatest there is. 30 years of writing/composing/performing, not just multi-lingual but multi-genre, sexy, sweet and funny, and a phenomenal human being. The concert this is from is a master class all the way through, but for fun I recommend Tango and Si Tu M'aime from the Nue concert 2002, just to see her other sides.
I always get emotional watching to this performance. I can feel her pain, I can understand the story. Amazing!
There is just so much power in this performance!
I have seen many many reactions to this song, and yours was one of the very few great ones! Thank you. Please review some more Lara Fabian. You have twenty years of her singing to get through after this one! Cheers!
I totally agree
Thank you very much Frank! ❤️ I'll make sure to react to more Lara then. I really enjoy her delivery.
@@annavaskelainen Before you start on her later work, I suggest you look at two performances predating 2000.Many people have ralready eacted to Je Suis Malade, Adagio, Caruso, Perdere l'Amore, and You're not from here, all from her From Lara with Love concert in 2000. No-one has yet reacted to her 99 Brussels performance of "Dites-moi pouquoi je l'aime". It's in Fremch. The video quality is poor, but the sound is good and I suspect you will enjoy it. Another one is her stage performance of Extrait de Yentl from her "Pure" concert, in which she covers two recorded songs of Barbra Streisand in a non-stop 8 minute live version. Only a couple of reviewers have looked at this one. If you do one or both of these, her fans will love you. What a powerhouse, as you said! Cheers!
@@annavaskelainen More like 30 years, and still going!
@@frankbirch3877 Go check out Dad Reacts today, you will be pleased! : )
perfect reaction, thank you plus you are beautiful
Thank you Doug!
Your reaction was emotional and beautiful ! Thank You
Ana,......as emotional as the performance was,...its effect on your expression was as profound, what beauty in the human emotion when observed for its purity. 🙏
Outstanding teaching!
❤️ thank you!!
Her live "Adagio" is epic. "You are not from here" as well. But I would for sure do Sohyang Arirang Alone from immortal songs 2 first.
She performed a couple of times in Helsinki and is considered a diva in Russia. She has many fans in Ukraine, Romania, even Siberia, Greece, Czech Republic, Brazil, Mexico, France, Belgium ( where she was born) and Quebec ( where she lives now). But she is much less popular in other countries such as Germany, Italy or Spain. She is virtually unknown in the USA.
I felt a little of the vibe of Falling in Reverse, the building of hysteria. Looking back, the very short laugh you pointed out really has a huge impact to convey this. Together with the increased intensity of course. Fun how complex an art performing is 🥰.
Very interesting! I loved that crazy moment too. Absolutely fantastic.
For somebody more attuned to taste the point at which she sings 'all the whiskeys have the same taste' is the more profound for me, somehow. That is, it's also a great song, not just a great rendition. The French and the Italians can do this stuff.
Such a great reaction! Greetings from Norway :)
Thx! Greetings to Norway! xx
Beautiful ANNA welcome to french songs after S O S of DIMASH you expose "Je suis malade" with LARA we loved your reactions and explanantions very very good.Big KISS from PARIS.
Masterful piece of method acting. It blends well with the beautiful and powerful way of singing. It lifts the performance right up into the sky. Much respect for this grand artist. I have to mention the flowing accents of the piano too because I love it so much. And on top a good and passionate reaction. Can't ask for more. I thank you for that!
Thank YOU for popping in and dropping me a comment! Hope to see you around in the comments in the future too! xx
Hi Anna. Great reaction as always to one of the best singers you will listen to! So glad that you are reacting to her. She is incredible and sings with so much emotion, feeling and passion. She is my favourite female singer. I highly recommend that you react to You're not from here, Broken Vow, Caruso, Adagio and Perdere l'amore. They are amazing like all her songs!
Greetings from London 😀
I loved watching your reaction to this - you literally picked up and commented on every tiny, little - seemingly insignificant thing that makes this performance out of this world. Lara has of course as amazing voice. But it's the seemingly small things that make it ridiculously amazing. The short, almost weeping breaths she takes at points (when we know very well she knows how to breathe from her stomach but it's all part of the performance), the "growl" when she says "qui chantera..." before the a cappella part like she's disgusted with herself and her voice but has crossed over to the dark side, the crazy laugh after the "je suis malade, c'est ca! je suis malade!" towards the end. Everything. Really love this reaction, and all the notes you pointed out to your viewers. I've watched many reactions to this video but your dissection was top notch
Thank you very much for this comment Maria!❤️
I loved your reaction. This is Lara Fabian's Tour de Force, in my opinion. Definitely check out her "Caruso" from the same concert, a performance which alone made me an instant lifelong fan of hers.
The original song is from Serge Lama (1973). He wrote it in almost 20 minutes and his friend Alice Donna composed the music for him :)
Lara's performance was exquisite just as your reaction to this beautiful piece---thank you
Once again you have been fantastic the song is well known to me for being half French, but I have to insist that you are the best that this platform offers for your beauty, sensitivity and work, I bow down to you and wish you the best in this life

I would suggest Caruso, Adagio or Broken Vow from this concert next... but don’t stop there!! Her career spans over 30 years and is filled with stunning performances just like this one!! I can’t wait to see your next reaction 😊
❤️ I am super happy you liked this one! Thank you for your comment!
Welcome to the gang Stefani, I am glad to have you with me. 😊 More Lara is coming, I promise!
Anna. What a song. What a reaction! I’m exhausted.
:D
Fantastic reaction. You nailed it. Lara is an amazing performer, not only because she has an amazing voice and impeccable technique, but she embodies the song. Every word has an emotion attached to it. Next “Caruso” ?
Wow, what a beautifull way to describe all the emotional and technical roller coaster she goes through during this magnificent performance. Your analysis is spot on, and again, the words you chose to describe it were just fabulous. Thank you!
My Number One Muse for many years - Angelina Jordan is Number Two and gaining - you are great, Anna
Hello, I am French, and a musician for 25 years, I am delighted to discover your video, it is the most brilliant analysis I have ever seen. Thanks to you I discovered a much more subtle dimension concerning this ched of work. Thank you very much, you have a crazy talent too !
Hi A L! I'm happy to know you appreciate my content so much! xx
Lara Fabian is so talented! She just owns what she sings! Wow!
This song was written by French singer Serge Lama who released it in 1973. The most popular and emotional version is from the renamed singer Dalida the same year. You should check it.
This is the first time I listen to finish! Omg I love it! It sounds so so beautiful 😍 like a very ancient mystical language. Greetings!!
That's not character - that's personal ... from a difficult time in her life. One out of the same Pandoras Box: Je T'Aime live from Paris, where the audience sings to her to comfort her during some tough times. Priceless :-)
Thank you. Loved it. You are perfect. Dimash looks up to her and picked a few tricks from her. She sings in several languages and every one of them spoken clearly. Yes, Caruso, Adagio and Broken Vows if you feel like crying a bit.
Thank you for your lovely message Pierre. 😊
Something changed in your eyes around 4.54 - so beautiful :) The way she sung that line is so lonely and heartbreaking.
Please react to Lara’s “Je T’aime(live concert)”. It’s really really amazing and tearing. 🙏🙏🙏
I loved your reaction to this dramatic and intense song. I love your language too and it's even funny that it goes from French to Finnish, from Finnish to English in the cc, and from there to Spanish in my brain and back, haha. However, you manage to analyze both technically and Lara Fabián's interpretation. Thank you Anna.
A big greeting from 🗿Chile🇨🇱
Glad to know you liked this one! Heheh aren't you a funny one. 😊 xx
@@annavaskelainen Thank you for your answer 😊 I am somewhat funny perhaps, but I appreciate your reactions and I always see them, although sometimes I do not comment. Maybe I'm shy but I like your vocal analysis. A hug from a distance, from 🗿Chile🇨🇱😊
Anna, I look so forward to your reactions and analysis! So on point, always! You’re amazing! This performance by Lara is incredible!
❤️
Loved this reaction, thank you Anna Vaskelainen for reacting to Lara Fabian :)
Pleasure! xx
