![She brought this emotional song TO LIFE! 🙌🏽 | Lara Fabian - Je Suis Malade [REACTION!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/f7S8lEf4RbM/mqdefault.jpg)
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.
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!
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...
I fell down the rabbithole on this one. She is a goddess. ❤🎉
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.
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 ;)
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.
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.
" Je suis malade " is a song by Serge Lama, released in 1973 as a single and on the album Je suis malade. Written by Serge Lama with music composed by Alice Dona, the song became the most emblematic title in Serge Lama's repertoire, who regularly covered it on stage.
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.
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!! 🙂🙂
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!
😇🙏🎵
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
I don't know who was the vocal coach of Lara but she or he deserves widely the money she or he earned.
Merci pour cette réaction de l'une de plus belle chanson française. Bisous de 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Before I tell you about your reaction. Someone - @Ozymandi - is a powerhouse of information about this performance.
About your reaction: I think I have said it with your "Caruso" reaction that I wish you could be my vocal coach. All reactions of yours that I have watched to date are truly in the category of masterclass and without exceptions. I really mean that. You notice things so quickly, it's like you, too, are living the moments with LARA.
I don't speak French but I have listened to many French songs. Following the English translation, I can tell and agree with you that Lara's interpretation, vocally and physically, is spot on. Even down to the almost cynical laugh. How she brought the musicians back in after the A Capella bit... She's absolutely brilliant. Lastly, also as you've noticed, that even after her performance, she was still within the environment of the song. Lara's entire physical appearance there is totally evident. What an artist. She's a gem.
Thank you for your reaction to this song. Looking forward to some more of yours. ❤
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
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! ❤
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. ❤
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
It's hard to believe that some one who hasn't gone through this kind of pain, can do this song justice.
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
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.
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 🇨🇵
10:30 yeah the "c'est ca" is her triumphant realization that she's crazy...same word in French.
Something changed in your eyes around 4.54 - so beautiful :) The way she sung that line is so lonely and heartbreaking.
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
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!
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.
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...
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!
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.
AGAIN - BEAUTIFLLY CLEAR ELEGANT PERCORMANCE REACTION --
This wonderful song was composed by Alice Dona and written by Serge Lama, two great french artists.
Lara Fabian has even taken some gestures from Serge Lama, the original singer. He deserves to be listened to, and mentioned at least.
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
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.
I've listened to a lot of professionals reacting to this song. Your analysis is one of the best. As always, it's an additional pleasure to watch your facial expressions as you listen.
This was my accidental introduction to Lara. An absolute revelation. I had no idea that musical story telling at this level existed. And combined with a voice this gorgeous! I still, after hundreds of listens, consider it the single most powerfully dramatic musical performance I've ever seen.
Anna Eriksson's version of Nothing Else Matters is exquisite. What do you make of her Finnish version of Je suis malade?
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 :)
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.
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.
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!
Merci, lara fabian est une star française et on en ai très fier.
Merci pour vos commentaires.
She's one of my favorite artist singer
Mine too now! xx
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.
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 :)
Anna. What a song. What a reaction! I’m exhausted.
:D
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.
My Number One Muse for many years - Angelina Jordan is Number Two and gaining - you are great, Anna
Try Adagio, or Caruso from the same concert
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.
Anna's reaction and comments are just as brilliant as Lara's performance. It increases the appreciation of the performance.
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 :-)
you should check Je t'aime Live in Paris, 2001 from Lara Fabian as well, this was something special! It will surely make you smile
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
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.
большое спасибо за реакцию.kiitos paljon reaktiostanne.
Let me just say that last part is held by Lara for over 15 seconds--15! Incredible breath control. Magnificent performance!
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. ❤️
Thanks!
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.
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!
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’.
❤️
thx Anna you spotted out all the peculiar parts (like for example the laughing part as she cannot cry anymore...) that also touched me in her rendition and that were not mentionned by other reactors on utube
Lara Fabian is Fabulous ❤
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.
Please react to Lara’s “Je T’aime(live concert)”. It’s really really amazing and tearing. 🙏🙏🙏
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.
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!!
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.
wow amazing Lara OMG
You MUST check out her live performance (2001) of Je T'aime (French for I love you) the background story of what's going is very important though. She wrote the song after her boy friend died She was considering no longer performing, so one of her fans secretly talked to the pianist and told him he would get the whole audience (6000 people) to sing it with her but say Om t'aime ("WE love you). Needless to say she continued her career after that.
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.
Je suis malade (song) The real story of the song
When the song was written, Lara Fabian was only 3 years old.
Je suis malade is a song by Serge Lama, released in 1973 as a single and on the album Je suis malade. Written by Serge Lama on a music composed by Alice Dona, the song became the most emblematic title of the repertoire of Serge Lama who regularly takes it on stage 3.
History
The song Je suis malade was inspired by a real heartbreak of Serge Lama, the story of a long secret relationship.
In 1969, the singer met Michèle Potier in Chamonix. Love was a certainty, but neither of them was free: he had married Daisy Brun, his press agent, in 1968, and she was married and had a son. They love each other in secret for several years and promise to regain their freedom, but Michèle hesitates and finally flees him and settles in Morocco for professional reasons. Lama is desperate, he wants to put words on his pain without succeeding, until the day he confides in his friend Alice Dona: "this story hurts me, it makes me sick. Back home, at the piano, Alice Dona, composes in a few hours a melody [...], that very quickly, she makes the singer listen. It was a revelation and Serge Lama wrote almost the entire text in one go. He will say later "The 80% of the song I wrote in 20 minutes, it's almost a shame [...] it came out of my heart so much that I [...] immediately felt that this song had something that the others didn't have".
However, nothing is done. His record company Philips does not believe in the song and to impose it Lama threatens to leave if he is refused to record it3. He wins his case and soon Je suis malade is released as a single. Unfortunately, the radio programmers prefer the B side, the lively and cheerful song Les P'tites Femmes de Pigalle which becomes a hit6. At every opportunity, however, Lama sings Je suis malade, on television, on stage [...], recognition will come, not (in this period), through him, but from a cover by Dalida very touched by the subject of the song and whose inspired and desperate interpretation will seduce the public.
After that, Serge Lama's popularity was turned upside down and he definitely became a recognized and popular singer-songwriter4. Many years later, the artist confides: "An LP of Serge Lama at the time it was worth 4000-5000 albums [...] But after Les Ballons rougesNote 1 it is 1 million4."
Recognition came for the creator of Je suis malade, in 1974, when one evening on the stage of the Olympia in Paris, Serge Lama completed the song by interpreting it without a microphone a cappella in front of an audience conquered by a triumph.
Another happiness, the return of Michele, free and together, they give birth to a boy named Frederic in 1981 and marry ten years later8. Michèle died in 2016 at 71 years, victim of a stroke9. Her death gives the song another dimension, Lama who has not given up singing it on stage says: "Every night when this song comes, I know it is an obstacle that must be jumped [...], it usually takes me a minute to recover [...], this song deserves to be given everything".
Words on behalf of the father
Je suis malade is doubly autobiographical for the singer-songwriter who includes in this story of desperate love feelings from his childhood. The anger, the suffering that Serge Lama expresses with the verses "I am sick as when my mother went out in the evening, And that she left me alone with my despair" or "I am like an orphan in a dormitory". These words to the attention of his lover to whom he reproaches his decline, it is in fact to his mother that he addresses them, casting himself in the skin of his father, formerly a singer of operetta in search of success, who, pushed by his wife, gave up his career [...]. This father to whom Lama "lends his voice" when he claims:
"You deprived me of all my songs, You emptied me of all my words, Yet I had talent before your skin.
This period of his childhood, Lama has already evoked it in the song half sweet and half bitter Le temps de la rengaine (in 1968 it opens the album D'aventures en aventures):
"[...] Mama dreamed that she had a real kitchen, While Daddy was barking at the Capucines, It was a nice time that this time [...],
One day daddy sold margarine, So that mommy could sing in her kitchen, It was a hard time that time, I have tears in my eyes when I think of all that".

perfect reaction, thank you plus you are beautiful
Thank you Doug!
Two goddesses in one video. Thank you TH-cam algorithm!
aww hehehe 😊 xx
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.
❤️
Привет!Этот стиль исполнения называется Шансон,И очень скоро ты столкнешься с песнями которые и сполняют и Лара и Димаш.
New songs from Dimash!!! & New performances of old songs that he did different! Like "Love is like a dream". But 2 new are insane....react pls first to one called "Stranger" Its written again by Igor Krutoy and i knew it would be gold, but here total performance is wow 👍. It reminds me of any movie about Alladin and 1001nights...
I'm very impressed with everything you understand :) it's really awesome ^^
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 !👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
Kiitos Laralle, from Rauma
I love how you know exactly where you want to go back to show your vocal analysis; love your reactions and your voice is engaging.🌹✨💖🙏🏻🇺🇸🌬❤️💨🥰
Thank you Anna for an incredible reaction to such a beautiful performance.
Happy to know you liked it Bernard! xx
Finally someone pointed c’est ca part. Genius
I really like this song performed by Lara. And also the song "Je t'aime"!
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!
Lara is fabulous.please react to Lara Fabian - perdere l amore (from the same concert).thank you for your reaction
Great analysis of Lara. I'm so glad that I found your channel. Thank you, Anna.
Thank you Ward!
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
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.
Loved this reaction, thank you Anna Vaskelainen for reacting to Lara Fabian :)
Pleasure! xx
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.
It's a very good dramatic and intense interpretation of Serge Lama song, she makes it sound as if it was written for her.
This kind of interpretation is part of this tradition of great French-speaking interpreters such as Jacques Brel or Édith Piaf...
She inspired Dimash, and we can clearly hear it in Dimash's songs . Also would love to hear your reaction to her performing Je t'aime, in Paris in 2001, with french and english subtitles . It is a very unique moment .
Great reaction :) I had never noticed that little laugh she makes that you talk about at the end, that was interesting !
You have some really good observations. You've either picked up on things that other "reactors" have not or are simply the only one I've seen that thinks these things are important to note. For example, the way the band is not just playing, but are actively paying attention to Lara and following her lead. This is such an intimate and obvious aspect of playing with a good live band, rather than a revording, that seems to be overlooked by people. Also, and I don't know how others have missed it, the "vocal cry", the crazy laugh, right at the end.
There were many others, as well. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and observations with us. I hope that you do some more reactions to Lara Fabian, but if not, I hope that this has introduced you to an incomparable artist who you will enjoy on your own.
Well said there Stephanie. 😊 I see you already found my other Lara reaction! xx
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
It remains a mind-blowing mystery to me. 😲
