Lara during this song uses what is called “speech singing”, an artist from a different genre & age is Dolly Parton. She is a master in using “speech singing” & does speak at times during a song. The French language lends itself much more than English. Lara is actually tapping into the loss of her mother. She gives us hints with “when her mother would go out at night”, again “like a stupid child by the radio”. The difference is that she know her mother is gone & she will not return this time. She is truly sick, completely sick, perfectly sick. Yes! That is what she is, sick!
Oh dear. I guess I should have checked your "repertoire". You have a vast catalogue of Pentatonix----to include this one. I'm really psyched about your channel now.
Come in and listen to Tommy Johansson, former guitarist in Sabaton. Has his own band Majestica but is a godsend on covers. He sings like a god, plays over 10 instruments, does everything himself. In and listen. Abbas The winner takes it all, Tina T simply the best, Queen, Phantom of the opera, shes gone and much much more. In and enjoy. The best of the best
Go back and watch her after she sings her final note. It literally takes her 20 or 30 seconds to "come out of her trance" and recognize the audience again. She's totally INTO her role as a performer on this beautiful piece. MAGNIFICENT! . . . . and as I knew it would be, your reaction to her magnificence is beyond the pale . . . exceptional grasp of what it takes for her to create this work of art for us. Blessings
Now YOU'RE reaction is what I wanted to see. I wanted to see you FEEL it. You're understanding of music is what makes your reactions so authentic. Grateful I found you.
“Je suis Malade”, now a french classic, was written by famous French singer & songwriter Serge Lama together with composer/singer Alice Dona in 1973. This is based on his own experience and he was the original performer, hence some lyrics are a bit male-oriented (eg my mother leaves me, whiskies, I pour my blood in your body, …). When Serge Lama had a dinner with Alice Dona and told her about his obsessive love that was leading to a road block, she came back home and composed the music in a couple of hours. The morning after, she presented him the music and he wrote the lyrics in … 20 minutes. Serge Lama was the original performer in 1973, it started to be promoted on the radio, and the song was brought to fame only when, a few months after, Dalida covered it. She was an absolute mega star in France, another emotional powerhouse, and this song resonated very much with her own feelings. Her success with this song transformed it into a french classic, and started to make it famous abroad. But it is Lara Fabian that really made this song a very popular song in many countries with her cover in the mid 90s. At that time Dalida had already passed away, but Serge Lama was (and is) still alive. Dalida and Serge were two inspirations for Lara, so she sent an audio copy to Serge of her version. She was unknown at that time in France but he was so impressed with her vocal skills and her emotions rendering that he invited her in France to sing it as a duet during his own Paris concert in January 1995. It was a triumph. So he sat in a front row seat and asked her to sing it again alone. Lara also had made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power. Serge and Lara became good friends and performed several other duets later on. The 1999 version ("From Lara with Love" Concert in Montreal) th-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/w-d-xo.html is legendary internationally and has attracted many artists to do a cover, even from non french-speaking countries. The most recent ones I am aware of are from italian singer Giulia Falcone, from the korean singer Choi Sung Hoon or from the korean band Forestella. Lara is used to perform the song very differently in each of her tour and for instance the En Toute Intimité, 2003, Paris Olympia version is even more dramatic th-cam.com/video/SyILdRAOS88/w-d-xo.html

Dear Mr. Hairless, thank you very much for the way in which you unraveled this song, not only from a musical but also from the emotional component, not many vocal reactors do this, it is no wonder that❤ Dimash is such a fan of Lara, wish you Have a nice rest of Monday, greetings from the Netherlands
When I was learning to paint I felt like the instructor was teaching me how to see. When I listen to you I feel like I am being taught how to listen and hear. You bring new perspectives to songs I've heard a hundred times. What a treasure you are to those of us who love Lara and Dimash. I thank you for your wonderful commentaries on music.
Truly heartbreaking but outstanding. I’m speechless. There’s not enough adjectives available to describe this truly exquisite performance. Thank you ❤ 💔
Brilliant!!! Lara is by far the best performer and the reference for any serious vocalist to learn from. Her overall talent (technique, focus on storytelling, stage presence) and to add the cherry, beautiful. One of a kind. Thanks for your reaction good man. Wonderful observations of the whole performance. Cheers!
She wrote lyrics for a song, for Dimash. Your Love. Egor composition. Is another great live performance. Please react to. Is incredible!!!!!!❤ I love your reactions and breakdowns.
C'est genial , que tu montre la diference entre l'auteur et l'interprete , tous les deux son geniales mais bon il faut dire ,que Lara , dépasse tous !!! Trop forte !!!
She totally emotionally blows me away! She is the lyrics in this song, taking them and making you feel it deeply. What presence she is. Wow. Love the piano and how the pianist plays it. Kudos to him! Once again a great reaction /analysis 🎵🎵👍
Stunning. The lady is an absolute Queen!! Beautiful composition/ interpretation.. The original is great and this is an absolute beauty. Lara certainly knows how to deliver a story to her audience. Natural performer.
I've been to her concert in Autmn of '22. I drove six hours there and the same back and it was totally worth it. More than twenta years have passed since this concert, but she definitely hasn't lost anything.
Great, traveling to hear Lara live is worth it, no matter the effort. In my case it was more than 1,000km (a whole day there and a whole day back), but I would do it again without thinking twice, even if it was more with some intermediate stage. This year I will go to Zagreb to see her again (yes, by plane because I travel alone), and I am convinced that I will return just as happy to see, for me, the best performer I have ever seen and one of the best voices of all time.
I recommend a Spanish singer, her name is Diana Navarro. She is a very versatile singer who sings different musical styles with a very particular voice and incredible melismas, she always transmits when she sings. The song is "El perdón" official video clip. Best regards
It's Lara's song now, just like SOS is Dimash's ) Her version of Caruso is actually my favorite even though I do love Luciano's so much. She is just that special, thank you, sir)
@@DamirHadzic-d4qnot at all the case: War and Peace Unforgettable Day Omir The Story of One Sky Give Me Your Love I could go on, but I must say, Lara is impressed enough by Dimash that she and Igor Krutoy composed a song together for Dimash, and she has performed with him. Both Lara and Dimash compose songs, just some friendly education❤.
@@DamirHadzic-d4q Either English is not your first language, or you have missed the point because that is not what I have said. It is the only reason I reply since I don’t usually react to comments that are plain spiteful and show how ignorant someone is. Good luck in life, you gonna need it.
Sos is not dimash… it’s kinda rude for us people who have learned and sing the song before him and knows where it comes from to say such things .That song lived years before him and was quite popular in the French speaking world sooo I would say he did a good version but defenitly not his
@@ccinn6452 I don’t disagree with the fact that SOS is not originally Dimash’s song, nor is Je Suis Malade Lara’s song, it was performed after Serge in France by another woman much in the same style as Lara. It’s not saying literally it’s Dimash’s, it’s from Starmania, and we all aware of that, it simply has become a signature song, just as Lara’s Je Suis Malade. That’s simply a non literal comparison. We are also aware of the unfortunate fact that the composer and original singer both passed at an early age, having said that from what I understand, many people who are French are quite happy with the song being revitalized by Dimash.
That reaction video you saw cut out the most important ending. But here I am to say that after finishing the song, she has her head down for about 20 seconds or less. She demonstrated that she didn't just sing, but lived the song until the end! It's incredible, you need to see it. 🙂
@@SirHairless Lara Fabian is an amazing and accomplished artist in every meaning of the word and I feel she might be a little underrated! After this reaction would you please consider reacting to Forestella's cover of Je suis malade?
Lara Fabian is masterclass and beyond. She is the singers singer...untuchable. This performance is one of the best i`v ever heard. This artist is in a way the love of my life. Still going strong at 54. New tour coming up in europe. Perdere`lamore is a great song from this same concert. Thank you for a great video.
OMG! SH - this was magnifique!!! ❤🎉 Fantastic reaction to an amazing song! Serge Lama wrote it with Alice Dona and performed it without great success. It was Dalida who made it a hit - her performance was real and raw (she later committed suicide) Thank you sir for a truly exceptional reaction! ❤
Such a pleasure to listen to you reacting to my favorive artist. Great thanks for Lara. Kindly react to Broken Vow, Perdere lamore, Caruso, You are not from here.
Every time Lara sings she gets me emotionally. She always tells story with her voice, gaze, facial expressions, movements, with all her body. Don’t know any other female singer who does this to me. ❤
🇨🇦 Lara is amazing. You like her voice ? Then you must realise that she is a trained Lyric Soprano, who still trains ! My recommendation for your next reaction to Lara, is "Caruso" ! You have heard her in English and French, now hear her in Italian ! 🇨🇦
I’ve loved Lara for years now , and I’m so happy that more people are finding and learning about her now , her emotional presentation is incredible I can’t wait to see her in Budapest in April May I recommend Broken vow and Llora ( a hard hitting video about abuse , probably better to watch it alone first ) 😢
Lara went through a horrendous break up with a famous French singer. He treated her badly and that is what she brings to this performance. Although he is famous he doesn’t compare in talent etc…. I am grateful that she is happily married today to someone who worships the ground she walks on. She is an incredible human being.
It was trough my knowledge of Dimash, I got to know Lara F. This song has become one of my favorite songs regarding an OUTSTANDING performance !! .. and I'm not surprised you got emmotional too Greatings from an old Danish Dear and Angel ❤️🇩🇰🌷
I followed Serge Lama and so many French artists. The wonderful song itself has been covered a lot, but once Lara did her version, she OWNED the song, just like she did with the Italian song "Caruso", that even the great Pavarotti's previous cover paled in comparison. Lara's emotional interpretation of both songs brought them to life in a manner that even the original singers and creators of the songs could not dream to duplicate. Lara is special. No wonder Dimash and many young singers count Lara as one of their biggest idols and inspirations as they grew into their artistry.
Vous avez une excellente analyse, toutes les chansons de ce concert sont incroyables , ecoutez celui en "toute intimité" ou elle chante la même chanson mais différemment. bravo à vous
The truth is that I have no words to thank you for the enormous effort you put in editing your videos, and in the work of analyzing section by section each part of the song, I can only say Thank you. On the other hand, not everything is going to be compliments, I have a small detail to regret in this video, I tell you; you have chosen a video in which it is cut immediately when Lara stops singing, a real shame, because Lara's performance ends half a minute later, after a standing ovation, during which she "returns to the stage", because she was immersed in the performance she was doing for her audience. Any of Lara's interpretations that you can listen to are a true work of art. Changing concert I would suggest you to listen to her version of Madmoiselle Hyde in 2016, a composition by Igor Krutoy, with whom she collaborated very closely; it is a song that you will surely enjoy enormously from a purely musical point of view (I don't even consider Lara's vocal or interpretative issue anymore) th-cam.com/video/DuSDdjU4S8M/w-d-xo.html. Anyway, perhaps as a curiosity I will leave you a link to a video made by a fan of hers in which she makes a compilation of a song of hers, sung over a quarter of a century, so you can appreciate the immense consistency of her voice, which has not lost any of its beauty and power. th-cam.com/video/CJ1cH9Mlz-M/w-d-xo.html Again, all I can do is to add this comment and thank you again.
Yes, I've seen the ending a number of times now. Quite amazing, isn't it?! Someone else recommended M. Hyde, so it's now on my list! When I get round to it, I will probably couple it with Dimash's version (I'm told he's done a cover), just like I did with their Adagios 🎶 Thanks, as always, for your support!
I saw her live 3 times in Montreal Quebec Canada and she is more than amazing plus she is so nice she speaks with people after and i was pregnant and there she was rubbing my belly and talking to my baby saying ' hope it was not to loud ' lol 😅 she is a wonderful human being. Love your reactions
nicely done. Appreciated the transparency in the first moments when we see you gripped and moved. Seriously, you are such a perceptive analyst it is encouraging to see your heart truly involved.
I can see you really got the ‘feels’ from this performance. She is magnificent!! I’ll be seeing her in concert 30/4 in Budapest, then Dimash 4/5, so it will be an emotional roller coaster of a week, I can hardly wait!!! Thank you for your reaction.❤
@@SirHairless Travelling from New Zealand, not that we don’t have music here, but it will be such a delight and I can’t see them coming here.😀 You can’t make it to either ? Sad. 😔
You completely believe that she has actually experienced this as she can embody the words of any song she sings and also physically performs. A very skilled artist indeed and as others have said this is her signature piece .Amazing and beautiful ❤ Thank you for reacting to this . I also love the Forestella version as the multiple voices is a wonderful variation so I hope you get to do that one 😊day
Thanks for this brilliant analysis of that song sung by the great Lara Fabian. You can listen to 2 italian songs that she sings with the same talent in this 1999 concert: "Caruso" by Lucio Dalla and "Perdere l'amore" by Massimo Ranieri. She is again incredible in those two songs.
I think it’s one of the most interesting reaction I’ve ever seen on this song, very clever, and maybe a new way to listen to this song. I also love you compared to the original one... and the way you are touched by her performance. Thank you ❤ (and your french accent is good 😉).
Thank you. This one is amazing. I couldn't even guess at how many times I have watched and listened to this performance by Lara. The song is devastating and she is completely immersed in the story she is telling. And her singing choices are amazing and perfect. After she is done, it takes her awhile to get out of character. I am so glad that you did this one. I wanted to hear a professional with your knowledgeable ears to tell us what you hear and feel. I have cried almost every time.
Lara’s acting and ability to bring out emotions is really great. Forestella is also great at bringing out emotions . But what I like most about Forestella is their vocal choreography and harmonies. It touches your soul. All great artists. Lara is an exceptional soloist and Forestella an exceptional quartet.
Thank you for this reaction and analysis of Lara emotional rendition of Je Suis Malade.I am always so impressed by her ability to not only portray emotion in a performance but to actually feel the emotion and still be able to sing at such a high level. No need to post it but you should go back to the end of the standing ovation and observe how long it takes her to recover emotionally from the song. As a performer yourself you will GREATLY admire her performance in Je t'aime Live in Paris 2001. She had just finalized a bad marriage the day before and her fans showed their love and support for her by singing the song to her and changing the chorus from I love you to we love you. You WILL get glassy eyed for this one! :)
It's a joy to watch you watch Lara. The expression on your face (I said it before) is so much joy to watch! Your love for music is so obvious. Thank you for another great and educational reaction! Greetings from Holland ps: Caruso, Lara Fabian same show, it's amazing.
Sheer magic...the way she stirs up emotions from the depths of her being...so in tune with the lyrics that she becomes the story. The sheer brilliance of this woman, the Queen of Emotions. I love your reaction. ❤
This is the first time I see someone doing both interpretation, the original from Serge Lama of his personal history, and Lara's interpretation. Thank you so much for this work!
I'm very impressed with your style and expertise in analyzing singers and their performances. Congrats and keep up the good work! I would suggest you, at some point, do more or Lara's wonderful singing/interpretations with these songs from the same concert: You're Not From Here, Caruso, and Perdere L'Amore. Anything from that concert is superb (like you, I would have absolutely loved being at the "From Lara with Love" concert)!
I’m so glad you talk about Serge Lama. I am a big fan of both him and Lara Fabian and to me, the song has a different impact. Mr. Lama’s repertoire was often flirty and kind of playboy-ish and to hear him sing this vulnerable heart break song was surprising and effective emotionally. As you mentioned, he was great at story teller. Lara Fabian revived it so beautifully. This was an amazing show. Thank you. 🤗
Lara Fabian is one of the few artists who paints with her voice. Perfectly imperfect sounds if needed, every single note is filled with emotion. Pours her soul out. There are few who literally use all kind of voices to convey message, grunts, voice breaks, even loud breathing, etc. For me Dimash is similar (who grew up admiring Lara) and Diana Ankudinova for example. All exceptional singers, but many times don't sing "clean", delibaretly . Perfectly. Instead they know the song, the message comes first. The emotion.
Es admirable que un mimo tema interpretado por dos personas suenen tan diferente y transmitan ambos tanto. Lo bello de que cada interprete es único y le pone su impronta, su emoción, su experiencia de vida, es lo que los hace únicos y diferentes. gracias por otro maravilloso video. Un abrazo de madre como siempre
Ahhh SirHairless. I’m excited to watch you discover Lara. Je Taime will probably be next or Broken Vow (which Lara wrote). It’s so wonderful watching you react to an artist that in my opinion hasn’t had the world wide commercial success she deserves. ❤
My Favorite and My Dad's Favorite. Just a beautiful iconic song of Serge Lama. An absolute iconic song describing the feelings of abandonment that is in fact never leaving the body since childhood. It stays in the body ( in the fascia to be precise) and every person who leaves us in life awakens that feeling of abandonment. Amazing song and thank you!! Abandonment is a major theme in our world and even more so in our parent's world who lived during the war. This song will be for ever in my heart. I recall when dad put it on on the tape in the car on our way back from the airport... He said " I love this song". I knew that he felt abandoned by his dad during his childhood... ah... the war.. Comme " une orpheline dans un dortoir" Like an orphan in a dormitory... I can see why he adored this song.
Gran reacción! Hermosa obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe! Gracias!
IMO, every performance in the Live concert "From Lara with Love 2000" is fantastic!! 1. Love by Grace 2. Perdere L’Amore 3. I will love again 4. You are not from here (lyric by Lara) 5. Je suis malade 6. I am who I am (lyric by Lara) 7. Caruso 8. Yeliel (My angel) 9. Quedate 10. Adagio (lyric by Lara) 11. Broken Vow (lyric by Lara)
This version cut off at the end but in the longer version as she gets a standing ovation she is visibly shaking trying to pull herself back out of the song. She completely buries herself emotionally in the song (the swinging left arm near the end) and it takes her a while to come back out. It's amazing...
This is probably my favourite performance by Lara. So powerful and touching! Every time… And great reaction, thank you! Now “You’re not from here” and “Caruso” please 😍
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful but agonizing performance. Top notch analysis (again) in my opinion. I deeply appreciate the thought and effort that you put into these reactions. Can't wait for your response to the Domingo-Dimash duet. Got my popcorn ready. 😁
Yeah Lara is great, but I feel the need to point out, that MAN... you're by far the best to do reactions. The knowledge... and the way you see so many aspects like drama dynamics and your meticulous wiew on the song, the singer, the orchestral form. Man, I love your work. I'm a former pro musiscian that really enjoy your videos. Thank you 🙏🎶🎵
I am very glad you found her. Canadian artists often get overshadowed by Americans but there are many who are outstanding. Unfortunately Celine Dion became established in the USA and there were some manuvers made to diminish Lara's place in that market. Also there is a difference with some of their very very amazing artists not wanting to be limited in their ability to go about in public without continual fan interaction. Roy Dupuis has discussed it and how he checks to see if his television performances are being played in a given country before he holidays there.
There are two other concerts after "From Lara With Love" that are special. En toute intimité at the Olympia 2003 and NUE 2001-2002 . Those three concerts are, to my mind, unmatched in quality. There are so many individual songs worthy of analysis including Parce que tu pars from the NUE concert. I'm going to see her perform in Montreal in June and I've been pleased to note from recent performances that 20+ years later, she's still a remarkable performer. There's a new song 'Ta Peine', and one from a few years ago -- during the pandemic -- 'Par Amour' (Live piano-voix). She's always best when performing live.
Yay! So happy to see this, thanks for another enjoyable breakdown. I guess the closest someone can get to experiencing a much loved song for the first time is to see/hear it through the eyes and ears of another appreciative soul. Captivating! I agree with a couple of others here who mention the very end which seems to be missing from this version. Out of this world!
Merci beaucoup pour ton analyse avec la comparaison a la version de Serge Lama. Et quelle admirable interpretation de Lara de cette superbe chanson française! ❤❤❤
This was a master class. Her masterful way of conveying emotion, story telling and masterful use of her voice is nothing short of incredible. For me she is a generational talent. One that doesn't come along very often.
I've probably watched more than 200 reactions to Je Suis Malade... The song has haunted me since I was a child and listened to Serge Lama's version. Yours is one of the best. Great idea to compare to the original. And thanks for these talkative eyes of yours, whose tears who held back so well. You are very expressive anyway.
i like the fact that you took the time to go see the original song from Serge Lama. Lara did a stelar performance of his song. they know each other in real life. nice to see you research also :)

Just a quick note that I watched the after-performance many times over, it's just not included in this video
Lara during this song uses what is called “speech singing”, an artist from a different genre & age is Dolly Parton. She is a master in using “speech singing” & does speak at times during a song. The French language lends itself much more than English. Lara is actually tapping into the loss of her mother. She gives us hints with “when her mother would go out at night”, again “like a stupid child by the radio”. The difference is that she know her mother is gone & she will not return this time. She is truly sick, completely sick, perfectly sick. Yes! That is what she is, sick!
Actually your French pronunciation it's not bad at all! The only thing you mispronounced was "malade": the second "a" is open "mAlAde".😊
I would be curious to see you compare Pentatonix - Come Along against the original.
Oh dear. I guess I should have checked your "repertoire". You have a vast catalogue of Pentatonix----to include this one. I'm really psyched about your channel now.
Come in and listen to Tommy Johansson, former guitarist in Sabaton. Has his own band Majestica but is a godsend on covers. He sings like a god, plays over 10 instruments, does everything himself. In and listen. Abbas The winner takes it all, Tina T simply the best, Queen, Phantom of the opera, shes gone and much much more. In and enjoy. The best of the best
When Lara performs, every fiber of her body also tells the story. This entire concert was magic.
I love that she didn't just sing it, she performed it. She poured so much emotion into it, simply stunning.
Never seen a better performer in all my years. Probably never will.
lara ne fait jamais les choses à moitié elle interprete autant qu elle chante ...une grande artiste
Go back and watch her after she sings her final note. It literally takes her 20 or 30 seconds to "come out of her trance" and recognize the audience again.

A powerhouse and a masterclass for many singers….❤… Every song from that show is like looking little movies ….
This whole concert was a singer and performer's masterclass.
I’m sure Dimash got a lot of lessons watching that masterclass.
“Je suis Malade”, now a french classic, was written by famous French singer & songwriter Serge Lama together with composer/singer Alice Dona in 1973.
This is based on his own experience and he was the original performer, hence some lyrics are a bit male-oriented (eg my mother leaves me, whiskies, I pour my blood in your body, …).
When Serge Lama had a dinner with Alice Dona and told her about his obsessive love that was leading to a road block, she came back home and composed the music in a couple of hours.
The morning after, she presented him the music and he wrote the lyrics in … 20 minutes.

this song, Lara continues to sing it in her concerts more than 20 years later with always the same intensity and emotion 😌
Truly heartbreaking but outstanding. I’m speechless. There’s not enough adjectives available to describe this truly exquisite performance. Thank you ❤ 💔

Stunning. The lady is an absolute Queen!!
Beautiful composition/ interpretation.. The original is great and this is an absolute beauty.
Lara certainly knows how to deliver a story to her audience. Natural performer.
I've been to her concert in Autmn of '22. I drove six hours there and the same back and it was totally worth it. More than twenta years have passed since this concert, but she definitely hasn't lost anything.
Great, traveling to hear Lara live is worth it, no matter the effort. In my case it was more than 1,000km (a whole day there and a whole day back), but I would do it again without thinking twice, even if it was more with some intermediate stage. This year I will go to Zagreb to see her again (yes, by plane because I travel alone), and I am convinced that I will return just as happy to see, for me, the best performer I have ever seen and one of the best voices of all time.

Love Lara ❤
Love from Denmark ❤
@@franciscojavierp.7162 She is coming to Zagreb? Great news! That's my neighbourhood, so....
And I have to agree with your Lara's description!
@@MartinWeng Gabi has made very good videos about Lara, she is a real fan
@@franciscojavierp.7162
Yes I really love her work ❤️
I am a subscriber of Lara the ring Fabian (Gaby) ❤️
I recommend a Spanish singer, her name is Diana Navarro. She is a very versatile singer who sings different musical styles with a very particular voice and incredible melismas, she always transmits when she sings. The song is "El perdón" official video clip. Best regards
It's so emotional, and she passes these emotions "parfaitement". I always have chills and cry during her performances. Thank you for your analysis!
It's Lara's song now, just like SOS is Dimash's ) Her version of Caruso is actually my favorite even though I do love Luciano's so much. She is just that special, thank you, sir)
Sos is not Dimash's.
Everything he knows is to sing others' songs.
@@DamirHadzic-d4qnot at all the case:
War and Peace
Unforgettable Day
Omir
The Story of One Sky
Give Me Your Love
I could go on, but I must say, Lara is impressed enough by Dimash that she and Igor Krutoy composed a song together for Dimash, and she has performed with him. Both Lara and Dimash compose songs, just some friendly education❤.
@@DamirHadzic-d4q Either English is not your first language, or you have missed the point because that is not what I have said. It is the only reason I reply since I don’t usually react to comments that are plain spiteful and show how ignorant someone is. Good luck in life, you gonna need it.
Sos is not dimash… it’s kinda rude for us people who have learned and sing the song before him and knows where it comes from to say such things .That song lived years before him and was quite popular in the French speaking world sooo I would say he did a good version but defenitly not his
@@ccinn6452 I don’t disagree with the fact that SOS is not originally Dimash’s song, nor is Je Suis Malade Lara’s song, it was performed after Serge in France by another woman much in the same style as Lara. It’s not saying literally it’s Dimash’s, it’s from Starmania, and we all aware of that, it simply has become a signature song, just as Lara’s Je Suis Malade. That’s simply a non literal comparison. We are also aware of the unfortunate fact that the composer and original singer both passed at an early age, having said that from what I understand, many people who are French are quite happy with the song being revitalized by Dimash.
That reaction video you saw cut out the most important ending. But here I am to say that after finishing the song, she has her head down for about 20 seconds or less. She demonstrated that she didn't just sing, but lived the song until the end! It's incredible, you need to see it. 🙂
Don't worry, I've seen it a number of times now! Incredible indeed
@@SirHairless Lara Fabian is an amazing and accomplished artist in every meaning of the word and I feel she might be a little underrated! After this reaction would you please consider reacting to Forestella's cover of Je suis malade?
Lara Fabian is masterclass and beyond. She is the singers singer...untuchable. This performance is one of the best i`v ever heard. This artist is in a way the love of my life. Still going strong at 54. New tour coming up in europe. Perdere`lamore is a great song from this same concert. Thank you for a great video.
I do love Lara, however I missed this performance. Goosebumps. Thank you.
OMG! SH - this was magnifique!!! ❤🎉 Fantastic reaction to an amazing song! Serge Lama wrote it with Alice Dona and performed it without great success. It was Dalida who made it a hit - her performance was real and raw (she later committed suicide) Thank you sir for a truly exceptional reaction! ❤
Thank you And also for letting me know about Dalida - very sad story
Such a pleasure to listen to you reacting to my favorive artist. Great thanks for Lara. Kindly react to Broken Vow, Perdere lamore, Caruso, You are not from here.
She is the best emotional performer ever
Every time Lara sings she gets me emotionally. She always tells story with her voice, gaze, facial expressions, movements, with all her body. Don’t know any other female singer who does this to me. ❤
A Lara Master Class! Yet again. 😊 Caruso next I think...
Aww you did it!! Thank you!! 🙏❤️❤️❤️ Can't wait to watch xx
🇨🇦 Lara is amazing. You like her voice ? Then you must realise that she is a trained Lyric Soprano, who still trains ! My recommendation for your next reaction to Lara, is "Caruso" ! You have heard her in English and French, now hear her in Italian ! 🇨🇦
I love Lara's version. I also love Forestella's version, which I highly recommend. Love your channel! Thanks so much for the fabulous reactions!! ✌️❤️
You might enjoy tomorrow's video too then
@@SirHairless I'll definitely be on the lookout. Cheers!!
I’ve loved Lara for years now , and I’m so happy that more people are finding and learning about her now , her emotional presentation is incredible
I can’t wait to see her in Budapest in April
May I recommend Broken vow and Llora ( a hard hitting video about abuse , probably better to watch it alone first ) 😢
Lara went through a horrendous break up with a famous French singer. He treated her badly and that is what she brings to this performance.
Although he is famous he doesn’t compare in talent etc…. I am grateful that she is happily married today to someone who worships the ground she walks on. She is an incredible human being.
It was trough my knowledge of Dimash, I got to know Lara F.
This song has become one of my favorite songs regarding an OUTSTANDING performance !! .. and I'm not surprised you got emmotional too Greatings from an old Danish Dear and Angel ❤️🇩🇰🌷
Such a powerful performance! Thanks for tuning in, as always 🙏
Another great analysis, ...Thank you....Her performance of Caruso is also worth to look at....love your channel💖💖💖
❤
I followed Serge Lama and so many French artists. The wonderful song itself has been covered a lot, but once Lara did her version, she OWNED the song, just like she did with the Italian song "Caruso", that even the great Pavarotti's previous cover paled in comparison. Lara's emotional interpretation of both songs brought them to life in a manner that even the original singers and creators of the songs could not dream to duplicate. Lara is special. No wonder Dimash and many young singers count Lara as one of their biggest idols and inspirations as they grew into their artistry.
Vous avez une excellente analyse, toutes les chansons de ce concert sont incroyables , ecoutez celui en "toute intimité" ou elle chante la même chanson mais différemment. bravo à vous
Thanks you so much for you explains i'm french i'm from France and your vidéo on Lara Fabian for the react it's so Perfect so thank you really 🙏
The truth is that I have no words to thank you for the enormous effort you put in editing your videos, and in the work of analyzing section by section each part of the song, I can only say Thank you. On the other hand, not everything is going to be compliments, I have a small detail to regret in this video, I tell you; you have chosen a video in which it is cut immediately when Lara stops singing, a real shame, because Lara's performance ends half a minute later, after a standing ovation, during which she "returns to the stage", because she was immersed in the performance she was doing for her audience.
Any of Lara's interpretations that you can listen to are a true work of art. Changing concert I would suggest you to listen to her version of Madmoiselle Hyde in 2016, a composition by Igor Krutoy, with whom she collaborated very closely; it is a song that you will surely enjoy enormously from a purely musical point of view (I don't even consider Lara's vocal or interpretative issue anymore) th-cam.com/video/DuSDdjU4S8M/w-d-xo.html.
Anyway, perhaps as a curiosity I will leave you a link to a video made by a fan of hers in which she makes a compilation of a song of hers, sung over a quarter of a century, so you can appreciate the immense consistency of her voice, which has not lost any of its beauty and power. th-cam.com/video/CJ1cH9Mlz-M/w-d-xo.html
Again, all I can do is to add this comment and thank you again.
Yes, I've seen the ending a number of times now. Quite amazing, isn't it?!
Someone else recommended M. Hyde, so it's now on my list! When I get round to it, I will probably couple it with Dimash's version (I'm told he's done a cover), just like I did with their Adagios 🎶
Thanks, as always, for your support!
Lara!!! one of the GREATEST!!
Lovely analysis, thank you!
"Cet amour me tue" is my favorite phrase in her whole amazing performance, I love what she did with it
indeed! powerful words.
I saw her live 3 times in Montreal Quebec Canada and she is more than amazing plus she is so nice she speaks with people after and i was pregnant and there she was rubbing my belly and talking to my baby saying ' hope it was not to loud ' lol 😅 she is a wonderful human being. Love your reactions
nicely done. Appreciated the transparency in the first moments when we see you gripped and moved. Seriously, you are such a perceptive analyst it is encouraging to see your heart truly involved.
I can see you really got the ‘feels’ from this performance. She is magnificent!!
I’ll be seeing her in concert 30/4 in Budapest, then Dimash 4/5, so it will be an emotional roller coaster of a week, I can hardly wait!!!
Thank you for your reaction.❤
I sooooooo want to hear your thoughts and impressions afterwards!
Very jealous! I've heard about these concerts and am so sad I can't make them! You'll have an amazing time
@@SirHairless Travelling from New Zealand, not that we don’t have music here, but it will be such a delight and I can’t see them coming here.😀 You can’t make it to either ? Sad. 😔
I'm so jealous you're going to see my two most fav artists🧚🧚♀..but happy for you, enjoy!❤
You completely believe that she has actually experienced this as she can embody the words of any song she sings and also physically performs. A very skilled artist indeed and as others have said this is her signature piece .Amazing and beautiful ❤ Thank you for reacting to this . I also love the Forestella version as the multiple voices is a wonderful variation so I hope you get to do that one 😊day
Thanks for this brilliant analysis of that song sung by the great Lara Fabian. You can listen to 2 italian songs that she sings with the same talent in this 1999 concert: "Caruso" by Lucio Dalla and "Perdere l'amore" by Massimo Ranieri. She is again incredible in those two songs.
I think it’s one of the most interesting reaction I’ve ever seen on this song, very clever, and maybe a new way to listen to this song. I also love you compared to the original one... and the way you are touched by her performance. Thank you ❤ (and your french accent is good 😉).
Yes, what a performance! I love Lara and her unique voice timbre! My favorite female singer.
Thank you for reacting to her! ❤
Her timbre is indeed unique,, warm and thick, resonant. One commenter described it as like honey. I like that description.
Hello Sir Hairless. I would love to hear your reaction to Lara Fabian's song Perdere L' amore. Thank you. I enjoy your comments and explanations.
Thank you. This one is amazing. I couldn't even guess at how many times I have watched and listened to this performance by Lara. The song is devastating and she is completely immersed in the story she is telling. And her singing choices are amazing and perfect. After she is done, it takes her awhile to get out of character. I am so glad that you did this one. I wanted to hear a professional with your knowledgeable ears to tell us what you hear and feel. I have cried almost every time.
Ohhh Lara, Única, extraordinaria! 🎻🎺🎷🇪🇸 Muchas gracias por tu reacción. Tiene una canción Perdere el amore.. Puafff
10/10 for your analysis and comparison with the original version (which is brilliant too)
Adoro versão da Lara ❤ Aliás acho-a uma das melhores vocalistas da actualidade. Tem uma voz fabulosa n uma sensibilidade geniais ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lara’s acting and ability to bring out emotions is really great. Forestella is also great at bringing out emotions . But what I like most about Forestella is their vocal choreography and harmonies. It touches your soul. All great artists. Lara is an exceptional soloist and Forestella an exceptional quartet.
👏👏👏
Thank you for this reaction and analysis of Lara emotional rendition of Je Suis Malade.I am always so impressed by her ability to not only portray emotion in a performance but to actually feel the emotion and still be able to sing at such a high level. No need to post it but you should go back to the end of the standing ovation and observe how long it takes her to recover emotionally from the song. As a performer yourself you will GREATLY admire her performance in Je t'aime Live in Paris 2001. She had just finalized a bad marriage the day before and her fans showed their love and support for her by singing the song to her and changing the chorus from I love you to we love you. You WILL get glassy eyed for this one! :)
It's a joy to watch you watch Lara. The expression on your face (I said it before) is so much joy to watch! Your love for music is so obvious. Thank you for another great and educational reaction! Greetings from Holland ps: Caruso, Lara Fabian same show, it's amazing.
Lara is complete emotion physically as well as vocally...
Sheer magic...the way she stirs up emotions from the depths of her being...so in tune with the lyrics that she becomes the story. The sheer brilliance of this woman, the Queen of Emotions.
I love your reaction. ❤
This is the first time I see someone doing both interpretation, the original from Serge Lama of his personal history, and Lara's interpretation. Thank you so much for this work!
I'm very impressed with your style and expertise in analyzing singers and their performances. Congrats and keep up the good work! I would suggest you, at some point, do more or Lara's wonderful singing/interpretations with these songs from the same concert: You're Not From Here, Caruso, and Perdere L'Amore. Anything from that concert is superb (like you, I would have absolutely loved being at the "From Lara with Love" concert)!
Cheers! Those are all on my list for the future 🎶
I’m so glad you talk about Serge Lama. I am a big fan of both him and Lara Fabian and to me, the song has a different impact. Mr. Lama’s repertoire was often flirty and kind of playboy-ish and to hear him sing this vulnerable heart break song was surprising and effective emotionally. As you mentioned, he was great at story teller. Lara Fabian revived it so beautifully. This was an amazing show. Thank you. 🤗
Thanks for the context surrounding Mr Lama! It adds another dimension I missed
Please immerse yourself into her version of Caruso next. She is amazing! Thank you!
Thank you very much for the great reaction ❤ Could you please do Caruso by fabulous Lara? 😊❤
Thanks! Caruso is on my list for the future!
Lara is captivating...you feel every single word she sings 💔❤❤
Ouuuuh on adore Lara 🥰 in all her greatness!!!
interesting comment ! you saw a lot of things i didn't! thx you guy!a beautiful song and an amazing performance !
Lara Fabián es fabulosa
Lara Fabian is one of the few artists who paints with her voice. Perfectly imperfect sounds if needed, every single note is filled with emotion. Pours her soul out.
There are few who literally use all kind of voices to convey message, grunts, voice breaks, even loud breathing, etc.
For me Dimash is similar (who grew up admiring Lara) and Diana Ankudinova for example.
All exceptional singers, but many times don't sing "clean", delibaretly . Perfectly. Instead they know the song, the message comes first. The emotion.
Es admirable que un mimo tema interpretado por dos personas suenen tan diferente y transmitan ambos tanto. Lo bello de que cada interprete es único y le pone su impronta, su emoción, su experiencia de vida, es lo que los hace únicos y diferentes. gracias por otro maravilloso video. Un abrazo de madre como siempre
You aren't messing about when it comes to reacting to world class artists at the top of their game. Keep it up Senor Smooth.
Señor Smooth, I like it
Ahhh SirHairless. I’m excited to watch you discover Lara. Je Taime will probably be next or Broken Vow (which Lara wrote). It’s so wonderful watching you react to an artist that in my opinion hasn’t had the world wide commercial success she deserves. ❤
My Favorite and My Dad's Favorite. Just a beautiful iconic song of Serge Lama. An absolute iconic song describing the feelings of abandonment that is in fact never leaving the body since childhood. It stays in the body ( in the fascia to be precise) and every person who leaves us in life awakens that feeling of abandonment. Amazing song and thank you!! Abandonment is a major theme in our world and even more so in our parent's world who lived during the war. This song will be for ever in my heart. I recall when dad put it on on the tape in the car on our way back from the airport... He said " I love this song". I knew that he felt abandoned by his dad during his childhood... ah... the war.. Comme " une orpheline dans un dortoir" Like an orphan in a dormitory... I can see why he adored this song.
Thanks for sharing, Rayna
thank you for your phenomenal reaction! just awesome! @@SirHairless
Gran reacción! Hermosa obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe! Gracias!
IMO, every performance in the Live concert "From Lara with Love 2000" is fantastic!!
1. Love by Grace
2. Perdere L’Amore
3. I will love again
4. You are not from here (lyric by Lara)
5. Je suis malade
6. I am who I am (lyric by Lara)
7. Caruso
8. Yeliel (My angel)
9. Quedate
10. Adagio (lyric by Lara)
11. Broken Vow (lyric by Lara)
This version cut off at the end but in the longer version as she gets a standing ovation she is visibly shaking trying to pull herself back out of the song. She completely buries herself emotionally in the song (the swinging left arm near the end) and it takes her a while to come back out. It's amazing...
And I just saw your quick note so nevermind...lol
The heartbrokenness of the speaker (..the singer) of the song is so palpable......it makes me cry....
This is probably my favourite performance by Lara. So powerful and touching! Every time… And great reaction, thank you! Now “You’re not from here” and “Caruso” please 😍
Dude.... I cried too
She has a beautiful voice.
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful but agonizing performance. Top notch analysis (again) in my opinion. I deeply appreciate the thought and effort that you put into these reactions. Can't wait for your response to the Domingo-Dimash duet. Got my popcorn ready. 😁
🙏
Please react to Lara's version of Caruso, it makes me cry every time. I love your analyse of music very much.
she's such an amazing performer and what a powerful voice. Thank you for this very interesting analysis.
Brilliant‼️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Love Lara🎧Par excellent comparison-breakdown’s 🇺🇸🌴
Sometimes, the silence and breath are more strong than words.
"The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between."
- Mozart
- Debussy
Who knows who really said it, but it's a great quote
Yeah Lara is great, but I feel the need to point out, that MAN... you're by far the best to do reactions. The knowledge... and the way you see so many aspects like drama dynamics and your meticulous wiew on the song, the singer, the orchestral form. Man, I love your work. I'm a former pro musiscian that really enjoy your videos. Thank you 🙏🎶🎵
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it
I am very glad you found her. Canadian artists often get overshadowed by Americans but there are many who are outstanding. Unfortunately Celine Dion became established in the USA and there were some manuvers made to diminish Lara's place in that market.
Also there is a difference with some of their very very amazing artists not wanting to be limited in their ability to go about in public without continual fan interaction. Roy Dupuis has discussed it and how he checks to see if his television performances are being played in a given country before he holidays there.
There are two other concerts after "From Lara With Love" that are special. En toute intimité at the Olympia 2003 and NUE 2001-2002 . Those three concerts are, to my mind, unmatched in quality. There are so many individual songs worthy of analysis including Parce que tu pars from the NUE concert. I'm going to see her perform in Montreal in June and I've been pleased to note from recent performances that 20+ years later, she's still a remarkable performer. There's a new song 'Ta Peine', and one from a few years ago -- during the pandemic -- 'Par Amour' (Live piano-voix). She's always best when performing live.
If you watch to the very end you will see how emotional it was to sing this.
Yay! So happy to see this, thanks for another enjoyable breakdown. I guess the closest someone can get to experiencing a much loved song for the first time is to see/hear it through the eyes and ears of another appreciative soul. Captivating! I agree with a couple of others here who mention the very end which seems to be missing from this version. Out of this world!
Lara delivers a Masterclass. Love your reactions. I learn so much. Thanks. Stay safe.
Merci beaucoup pour ton analyse avec la comparaison a la version de Serge Lama. Et quelle admirable interpretation de Lara de cette superbe chanson française! ❤❤❤
This was a master class. Her masterful way of conveying emotion, story telling and masterful use of her voice is nothing short of incredible. For me she is a generational talent. One that doesn't come along very often.
I've probably watched more than 200 reactions to Je Suis Malade... The song has haunted me since I was a child and listened to Serge Lama's version. Yours is one of the best. Great idea to compare to the original. And thanks for these talkative eyes of yours, whose tears who held back so well. You are very expressive anyway.
i like the fact that you took the time to go see the original song from Serge Lama. Lara did a stelar performance of his song. they know each other in real life. nice to see you research also :)
YAYYYYY! I’ve been waiting for this review. This brings back so memories of heartbreak for me and always makes me cry. She’s absolutely amazing ♥️
