The fact that so many of us Americans know who Drake is, but not who Lara Fabian is just shows how pathetic the American music industry has become.
EXACTLY!!
Who is this Drake?
Não só os americanos. (Not only Americans). Not only the American music industry
Blame Celine Dion's management/record label. They felt threatened by her and kept Lara Fabian from distribution to radio stations.
@@michaelfisher4918 yes exactly that happened to Lara..
If you want to be told a story with a song, give it to Lara, she is the best at putting you inside a story, there is no other interpreter like her.
This HAS to be one of the best live performances by ANY artist ever. Absolutely incredible
Lara is the best female vocalust EVER! I cannot believe people haven't heard of her!
Seriously, the best singer on Planet Earth. ❤
My top 3,literally.To be more realistic and reliable.That's for sure ✌🤘💎
Please listen to Emma KoK with Andre Riue.
She’s a powerhouse, a masterclass for many singers, her technic is perfect and her interpretation is like a little movie…
Lara IS amazing! It’s a crime that Dimash and Lara are basically unknown in the USA!
You should listen to the trio of Lara, Dimash, and another new singer for you, an amazing soprano Aida Garifullina, in their performance of “Ti Amo Cosi”.
We don't care about this Chinese
@@starforce224 “We”???? Firstly, speak for yourself!
Secondly, Dimash is Kazakh, not Chinese.
Your Statement is not truthful, Dimash is mentioned so much I could puke. I am not a Dimash fan, I recognize he is very talented, and I don’t want to make this to be taken as disrespectful to this young man. *My preference for an upcoming Artist is “Gabriel Henrique” from Brazil. He is the “King of the Whistle Register”. Gabriel zips up & down rifts & runs with a tone that is so infectious. His musical roots come from the Church which were developed in the Gospel/ R&B genre.
@@timothyblack3322 And I don’t care for Gabriel, but I would not be so disrespectful to say that I could puke when his name is mentioned. Instead, I just would walk on by.
She is the best story teller of all (that's why a song has lyrics) including the musical skills ... This song brings tears every time I hear it.
I'm 64 today , still I can't help crying like a baby every time I listen to this song, my mom was a big fan of it when Serge Lama came with it in 1973, so yes originally this is a story of a man.
In the recent years Lara Fabian took it over and oh boy she's fantastic.
If you don't know Lara Fabian, I encourage you all to listen to her singing 'Je t'aime'
Lara Fabian is the leading lady to me, she is a fabulous songer-songwriter and has a lovely character!
Try some other songs:
Broken Vows
Caruso
Tu es mon autre(Rip Maurane, another great Belgian talent and bff of Lara)
Llora
Les vieux amants
.....
Thank you
Grts from Belgium!
Well, you just won the lottery, this is the best female signer of this century. More than 30 million albums sold, play piano, 16 albums, Wrote more than 200 songs and at 54 yo she just started an another world tour; She is well known in New York, always sold out the same day, but the rest of the USA have no clue who she is, i will let others tell you that story in regards of the criminal Sony music and friends. Also speaks 4 languages and sings in 12 of them, she is a major star in Europe, Russia and mid-asia, Was also #1 in Brasil
What a fricking awesome reaction. Thank you very much. Welcome to Lara's world. Warning - you are one, maybe two songs away from a life long relationship with our Lara. So do another video reaction to her at your peril. You cannot get out of Lara's world once in. As the song says...you can check in anytime you like, but you can never leave. She is the Queen, my Queen, our Queen...long may she reign.
“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
A few words on the rest of the story of the feelings which gave rise to this song: The woman loved and absent, was married. But the feelings were shared and a few short years later, they met again, then got married and had a child. Their story ended when the woman died in 2016!
This comm should be pinned. Thanks for this great resume.
Lara, sings in twelve languages, she is very well known here in Canada!
Lara is my favorite singer but everyone can memorize words and sing in 20 languages, what's your point? I see this comment on so many different singers too.
@@wooshbait36 At least, she's writing songs in languages she's fluent in : French, Italian, English and Spanish. Not bad, I would say. 🙂🙃😉😊
Top World Class Elite is unique, beautiful, elegant, and impossible to copy. Best Story Teller, Performer, and Singer. One of Dimash's favourites! All of her performances are Art She is in a league of her own as an Artist. Compliments to her band who are loyal and inspirational. We are lucky to have her in our world today and her music will stand the test of time! Lara lived in our city Montreal Canada where she started part of her career. Really excited to see her this summer on her World Tour 2024 in June. Special DNA not duplicated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, big fan forever!!
Love from Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Great reaction! Thank you! This was Lara in her 20s. There are many other great performances in this concert - from Lara with love. But she’s still going strong now in her 50s. She’s got a great new song out now called Ta Piene. She’s still touring all over the world. She’s recorded mostly in French, Italian, and English, but also in Russian, Spanish, German, and more. She’s simply a treasure!
For the power and range, "Adagio" from the same concert is the natural next step in your Lara Fabian discovery journey
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane!
"Adagio" --> th-cam.com/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/w-d-xo.html
"You're not from here" --> th-cam.com/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/w-d-xo.html

You must listen to more - I know you will!! She has many simply outstanding performances. ❤
The Queen Of Resonance and vowel coordination. She is The Ring.
I have listened to Lara sang this song many times, and also listened to many reactions to her singing this song. I can definitely say I really enjoy your reactions and comments, which I believe give me a better insight to this song. Thanks to AmericansLearn.
Great reaction to one of the most wonderful voices ever heard on this planet. Lara Fabian is masterclass and beyond. My nr.one of femal singers of all time. I just love her. Thank you for sharing her with us.❤
I am so glad she was recommended to me.
Lara delivers a perfect masterclass. She is a goddess. One of my favorite performances.
Dimash and Lara are two singers that can bring me to tears without fail .Absolutely love both of them....
For me, this is top 5 performance of all time by any artist.
Agree, and perhaps the first.
@@richardsimplon8772 In some ways yeah, especially her story telling abilities. I'm just drawn in, getting lost in the performance.
Adagio is even better and then Perdere L'amore ( my favorite ). You have been describing an artist becoming the song. She creates a living, breathing, song.
Hello, merci d'avoir enfin pris le temps de découvrir lara et j'espère que tu continuera à l'écouter.
Lara est unique ,elle est considerer comme l'artiste qui retransmet le mieux l'émotion d'une chanson, ca voix, son visage, son language corporel et ses respirations exagérer en font une artiste unique.
Consîderer comme la meilleure conteuse, elle est considerer aussi comme l'artiste qui vous captive le plus.
Lara chante toutes c'est chansons comme ça.
Lara est belge, canadienne.
Elle chante dans 12langues différente, français, anglais, italien, espagnol, portugais, allemand, russe, adzerbagian, grec, turc, hébreu et latin et parle couramment 4 langues.
Écoute les chansons adagio et broken vow en anglais, caruso et perdere amor en italien sous titre en anglais, c'est le même concert que la chanson que tu viens d'écouter.
Lara from love.
Hi Lauren
Lara and Dimash are connected by an amazing Russian Composer called Igor Krutoy. He was writing songs for Lara before he went into retirement. Whenever you see a bald-headed guy
playing the piano, that's Igor, and he wrote the song. Then Igor came out of retirement to write songs for Dimash. This is because writing songs for a person who can sing 7 octaves,
gives a songwriter unlimited scope and range. So Lara and Dimash sing Igor's songs. An example of this is" Mademoiselle Hyde ~ New Wave 2019 Sochi" this is sung by Dimash
Then we have the same song sung by Lara in exactly the same concert hall "Dimash Kudaibergen + Lara Fabian Mademoiselle Hyde REACTION & ANALYSIS by vocal coachopera singer"
Sorry, it's not the one I was looking for, but gives a direct comparison. The really good one is where Lara and Dimash sing together. This is Igor's birthday party on ice. Watch this clip
and get blown away "Lara Fabian, Aida Garifullina - Ti amo cosi". Another great song by Igor is "Olimpico Igor Krutoy"
Just to clarify, Igor composed the music, Lara wrote the lyrics and melodies to the songs for Mademoiselle Zhivago, with the exception of The Love of Tired Swans in Russian, but she wrote lyrics for the French version called Je T'aime Encore.
Still one finest peformances I have ever seen and heard LARA❤ always. Greetings from Finland (by Nightwish fan since 1998)
Big réaction, Lara's just one of the greatest performers of the World.
Lara is one of the best performers/voices ever!!!
Welcome to the world of Laura Fabian. She is one of the absolutely most interpretive and greatest storytelling singers in the world. She took a different road than the other diva of the same time. Celine Dion. She is more of a stage performance singer but her voice is as good as any of the divas out there today. Bar none. She has a huge following in Europe and I'm so happy she's living in my home country of Canada now. This woman in a live concert is as good as it gets. I want to thank you personally for bringing her to your wonderful TH-cam channel. It is so much appreciated by all the fans of this.most beautiful singer and I hope you continue your journey with Laura in the coming months to enjoy such great vocals. Sending much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
LARA !!!!! no - no - no LAURA.
@@lusciniamagna7032 Sorry my senior fingers aren't the best lol ! Lara 👍👍🤗🤗
@@rongotwalt4487 Ciao, nessun problema amico a volte capita anche a me di sbagliare. Tanti saluti dall'italia al bellissimo CANADA 🇨🇦
Wow!!!. I loved your reaction Lauren!!!...Now you know why she is the Dimash's idol!!❤❤...Thank you!!
I absolutely get it! Thanks again for the suggestions.
@@AmericansLearn My pleasure Lauren!!...Dimash loves Lara since he was a kid and it was his dream be able to sing with her and finally his dream came true in 2019, when they sang a trío with the incredible russian soprano Aida Garifullina...The name of the song is Ti Amo Cosi...I will send you the link so you can watch them singing together.
Lara es única cantando y contando una canción! Con los sentimientos que siente y hace sentir de lo que cuenta y canta! The best Lara!
Always, always react to Lara's LIVE performances. Lara is the only one whose performance is better live in front of an audience than in a studio. That's how talented she is and how important real emotion is to her. When Lara Fabian does a cover, hers becomes the new original. Nobody emotes lyrics like her. Just like an actress, she becomes the lyrics. Nobody can paint emotions with their voice like Lara. It is no accident that you can hear her take a breath. She wants you to. How did she get the idea that an audible breath being taken is a good way to approximate brokenness or the sound of a sob? There's a reason why she was Dimash's idol growing up. They're both emotional singers, both multi-lingual (Lara's biggest advantage on Dimash is that her English is ten times better than his), multi-genre singers. If you want to react to a song sung by both Dimash and Lara (apart from the duets), they include: Adagio, Mademoiselle Hyde, Love is a dream, The Love of Tired Swans... Igor Krutoy, the famed Russian composer who came out of retirement to compose for Dimash (he's the piano player in many of Dimash's videos) had previously worked with Lara on all of these songs as well. The singer closest to Dimash in age and talent and shock factor is Diana Ankudinova, one of many young artists inspired by Lara Fabian.
More information on Lara Fabian:
Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, ....
In my personal opinion, she is even the best.
There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register.
So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence:
• she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total
• she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for 200+ songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music, and is at the source of the melodic line.
• she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none
• she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens.
A quick background on her and her career:
She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages.
She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory.
She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today.
She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada.
She had been living for years in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship. She just moved
back to Italy a few months ago (temporarily?).
She became very famous in Quebec and then conquered France in 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music).
In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US.
This concert is legendary, packed with masterpieces (covered by many great vocalists later on).
But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan.
She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance.
She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then.
Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), Linda Eder, …
With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there.
Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her.
She is Dimash's idol:
I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep.
He covered many of her songs, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara.
Out of my mind I can list:
○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer),
○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer),
○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version)
○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know")
She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love".
And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva).
Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida.
Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara.
Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it.
Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration:
○ Floor Jansen (Adagio),
○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime),
○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie),
○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow),
○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace),
○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow),
○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow),
○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow),
○ Dmitri Hvorostovsky (Adagio),
○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime),
○ Forestella (Je suis Malade),
○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow),
○ Gigi de Lana (Broken Vow)
○ Julie Anne san Jose (Adagio, Broken Vow),
○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know),
○ Il Divo (Adagio)
○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you),
○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow)
○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso),
○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie),
○ Amir (Je t’aime),
○ Vitas (Adagio),
○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio),
○ Jeck (Je T’Aime),
○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio),
○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade),
○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade),
○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio)
○ Majda Roumi (Adagio),
○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow),
○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow),
○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you)
○ Sevara Nazarkhan (Je t’aime)
○ ....
NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version.
Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature.
In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular.
On April, May, June 2023 she had again some wonderful concerts in Tbilissi, Georgia, then in Ouzbekhistan, Kazakhstan, Romania.
She is about to release a new album and kick off another tour that will visit eastern europe in april 2024 (Czech Republic, Moldavia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkiye), then several locations in Canada in june 2024 and, after some rest and a few TV Shows, France in 2025. The first song of the new album (titled "Ta Peine" - Your Sorrow) was released late January 2024 and is a success in France.
Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
You are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for all of this! It absolutely offers context, and I am really grateful to know it. Also, lots of people want me to look at Adagio, and knowing that people like Floor and Dimash have also covered that song, It might be really cool to see it from all three angles. Hers first of course.
@@AmericansLearn Theres so many songs from Lara that will leave you shaking, but more, she sings from her soul to ours.
Very appreciated ❣
🙏🙏🙏
@@AmericansLearnDefinitely watch hers first, because this song came from her very soul. It's about songwriting and how important that part is to her. On the surface it sounds like an intense love song to a person, but listen to the lyrics and you hear a love song to the god of inspiration, as Adagio, begging him to never abandon her. It speaks of the mystical connection that songs are born from, and how fragile it can be, but she'll always be waiting at "the piano that plays". This is why, for this song, I find it hard to appreciate any of the covers, it's just so personal to her. It's her very DNA. And I don't think anyone has done a reaction to it knowing this ahead of time, so you're one up on everyone else!
@@elizabethwhite1068 its not her song btw, not diminishing her cover, but it isnt hers originally
Thank you. More of the greatest female voice on planet Earth !
Agree from France.
I had the same facial expressions you have when I first watch this, I cried too. She brings up deep emotions out of you . To me, she is the best female vocalist of all times , bar none.
Lara is amazing and her fans are crazy about her. Take a look at her Live in Paris performance of Je t’aime 2001 and you’ll see what I mean😌
Hi from France ! Thank you for this reaction and welcome to Lara's fabulous world. I advise you to watch other Lara titles, preferably live (Eric Sicard, a great Lara specialist, gave you a list in the comments) and I can guarantee that you will never be disappointed!
🇨🇦 I am biased, but Lara is probably the Best female artist/singer/performer the world has ever underestimated !
Eric Sicard and his comments below will tell you about this song, and then about Lara !
She is a classically trained Lyric Soprano and has sung in 12 languages !
A master of breathe control and a range the envy of most artists ! Every syllable of each word, and each word of every lyric, is sung clearly and complete (to the very end) no matter which language she is singing in !
As you are a Dimash fan, I would recommend "Adagio", which she co-wrote ! As a Lara Fabian fan I would recommend that you react to "Caruso" next ! 🇨🇦
Lovely response. ❤😂😂😂😂❤😊
Welcome to the World of Lara Fabian !!! The perfect combination of astounding voice, power, sensitivity and emotion. The last belt in this performance was 17 seconds long....after all that came before it. You must listen to more of her spectacular performances....Caruso, Adagio, Broken Vow and Perdere l'Amore [Lost Love]. Every one is a master class in the projection of human emotion !! Many reactors suggest that she is the best poetic songstress in the world. No argument here.
Watch the entire concert...From Lara with Love, 2000. Spectacular display of perfection !!
Adagio. Broken vow. Caruso. Try those as well.
Wait until you see her sign in english Broken vow a song she wrote, you will feel it even more, any song from Lara is a classic masterpiece
Thank you for bringing this amazing performance by one of the greatest singers of the last decade into the spotlight. This version by Lara always breaks me....her ability to touch you emotionaly with her voice is out of this world. Chapeau Chapeau Chapeau to Lara.....
imagine this song is a cover song Lara performs Serge Lama is the performer that co wrote this song i the 70's. Lara did a stelar performance of his song.They know each other well. Lara masters emotions in every song she performs. Adagio, Broken Vows and so many more she has sold over 20 million albums to this day and working on her next album as we listen to this performance.
Her interpretation and emotions are very good and beautiful. Sad, angry, hopeless, lonely, she did it well. Next please react Adagio is still at the same concert. I'm really waiting for that reaction❤
Lara is another singer who puts herself in the emotion of song, like playing the character, just as Dimash does. She is just phenomenal at bringing out the emotion & conveying it so that the listener feels it too. We don't have singers like this any more which is a huge loss to the industry.
I'm so glad that you reacted to this superb performance & singer.
Thank you so much 😊🙏💞
Thank you so very much for your extremely powerful and emotional response to Lara. This is one of my favourite songs. I love the way you do your reactions by listening to the whole song first before going back over it to add your comments. You did a great reaction and because you said that you were reacting to Dimash And Lara I've subscribed. Thanks again take care.
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa e increíble 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!
That totally got me ,such an emotional performance,her beautiful voice ,wow ! I see why she is admired by Dimash ! Spare tissues anyone ?
Love Lara ❤️
Love from Denmark ❤️
OMG, it is about time you got to one of the greatest vocalists in the world. Her performance of "Je Tiem" in Paris 2001 was amazing and touching.
One of the greatest singer ever truely incredible vocals....thanks appreciate your reaction.
Welcome to Lara’s world! Great reaction. You should react to more Lara please
Lara stayed in the “EuroPop Rock Charts”!! You are the first reactor I’ve seen that picked up the “Rock” in her singing. This particular concert is one you need not worry about any copy right issue’s. At the time of this concert Lara spoken in 4 languages. Today she speaks in 7 languages & sings in 12 languages. Someone said otherwise. There is a video on TH-cam of the 12 languages Lara sings.
Such a brilliant reaction... sent BlipFM out to all my BlipFM contacts, thank you Lauren
Still keep your multitasking line, don't fall in the rabbit hole's to be only music reactor. I like learning new stuff by your reactions.
"Lara Sophie Katy Crokaert (born 9 January 1970), known professionally as Lara Fabian, is a Belgian and Canadian singer and songwriter. She has sold over 20 million records worldwide as of 2021 and is one of the best-selling Belgian artists of all time."
Don't worry, I've got plenty of other stuff in the pipeline. I'm not gonna drop off on Fat Electrician, Casual Geographic or other things that strike my fancy. I've been trying to maybe do one or two music reactions a week. Though I admit when I find something new, I do dive into it with gusto for a bit.
@@AmericansLearn Thank you - and Vet (btw - Vet reacting to Laura Fabian's music, Like Charlie Brown would say"Good Grief")....😄
you are really the first American I hear saying "Je suis malade" correctly! And then ... from the first time Lara sang the title I was drawn to how you were captivated by the song. Your facial expressions and breathing said it all. 🙂
Read Eric's reaction for info on Lara. He can say it so much better than I can.
This is why she said at the beginning of the video . Wether in Japonese in indian or even in English .When we sing with emotion and it's sincere . we can understand the song Yes a 19 second at the end the last note .. Thank you for your first reaction to my Queen Madam Lara Fabian .
_'Whether in Japanese, in Indian... '_
You've stumbled upon one of the worlds best singers. Her live performances are always better then the studio versions. May I suggest you check out her famous concert "From Lara With Love" from which the song you just reacted to was taken. All the songs from that concert are great. May I suggest you start with Adagio, Curuso and Love By Grace to begin with. For me the best version of Love By Grace was from the Canadian Juno Awards show.
Lara (before the song): ...when it comes to honesty. So it means that she lives her song, how hard it can be to sing it!
I've never encountered someone who was willing to invest some time and effort into reacting to a piece of music like you did with this piece of music. Listening to it twice and considering it from several different angles, both lyrically and musically, reveals so much about the song but also reveals something about you: A simple devotion to understanding and immersing oneself in the music, it's meaning and the possible connections that exist between the artist and the performance and the song.
A small regret of mine is that my mother didn't live long enough to experience Laura Fabian and, in particular, her performance of this piece which she would have loved: My mother was a French lady who met and married my father shortly after the end of the second world war. My father was a relatively uncultured farm-boy from Indiana while my mother was an educated French lady who had run an entire railroad system out of Rheims during the Nazi occupation and leaked railroad scheduling information to her father, my grandfather (a member of the Maquis who died in a French sanitarium when I was 10 years-old.) who, in turn, used the information to blow-up German troop-trains and generally disrupt the flow of men and material throughout France and Europe.
I watched my mother whither and, ultimately, end her own life because of years of producing children, being abused and suffering through a loveless marriage to a man who was emotionally unavailable, cruel and ignorant and, even worse, I believe, a man who refused to acknowledge just how smart and multi-faceted my mother was...a man who demanded that his family kept their mouths closed lest he hear something that exposed his own ignorance or challenged his shallow, American sense of superiority.
I'm not even sure my mother would have been able to bear the truth in this song, although she would have adored it, sometimes the only way to deal with pain and loneliness is to hold it in your hand and really examine it up close which I think she could have done given the opportunity. Anyway, I loved my mother and everything I know about emotions and compassion and isolation and love I learned from her, such a sad, lonely spirit, my mother, a memory that comes alive every-time I hear this song.
Enough, back to your reaction: Thank-you for fleshing this song out for me in a way nobody else, despite how much they insist that they liked the performance, has done before. Beyond your analysis of the piece, which was accurate and impassioned, you seem like a very nice and genuine person who deserves whatever success may come to you in this weird, swiftly evolving new world we live in. Anyway, I'm too old (70) to beat around the bush anymore: I'm hooked and subscribed...
I love your reaction and your sense and understanding for details, feeling, musicality and the authenticity in Lara's performance. I'm subscribing to follow you and your refreshing take on music. I can feel that have a beautiful soul.
Some performances don't require analyses as they are above and beyond what others can produce.
Like Lara said, honesty speaks for itself.
This song is a trip that breaks your heart but brings exquisite feelings that you don't want to deny.
Yes she is very gorgeous has an amazing voice and this is one of her most amazing and most heart felt performances !
Such an amazing talent.. And worthy of Dimash's admiration... I'm sure you were told the sang together. Enjoy
Wow, this is the greatest reaction to this performance I've ever seen! I love how you structured it, that was fantastic. I think this is the greatest performance of any song, any time, from anywhere. It's also the ultimate example of making a song your own. She doesn't sing a song, she becomes it. As another great Lara reactor says, "She has all the things!". I'd never heard such a complete artist before her. She has mastery over every tool and knows exactly how and when to use them. She never does anything just because she can. Every choice is in service to telling the story. Even the bits that get ugly, because she doesn't care about looking perfect and pretty while performing, she cares about making you understand. She's the first and only artist that I can listen to for hours without understanding the language and not caring, because I feel it. I only discovered her in 2018 when a pair of Canadian skaters used this song. I had to know who was singing. It's the greatest rabbit hole in all of TH-cam! Reaction videos are finally making up for the way Sony completely screwed her and us in the US. I can't wait to see the next one from you!
this is a "masterclass"..................she makes the technical aspects look easy - and believe me they are not. She is the Ultimate artist
You should watch her live performance of “Je t’aime”. Crazy emotional
Excelente reacción y análisis. Lara por decir lo menos es extraordinaria cantante e intérprete.
Many top Vocalists regard each and every one of Lara's performances as an absolute Master Class in their craft. 👋
Thanks so much for this, Lauren! I've been awed by Dimash for a couple years, and once again similarly stunned that such a profoundly beautiful vocalist as Lara hadn't crossed my awareness until now. I'm blown away by her. No words...; just tears...
C'et amour me tue...
No matter how many times I hear this song, the plaintive pain of this line always brings tears to my eyes...
dear god....................amazing talent
One of the most emotional performansis ever ❤
It's rare to see a reaction or analysis that does justice to such deep songs and great performances. When you notice the sick look on the singer's face when she says "I'm Sick", you realize what a great singer and actress you have come across. An artist who not only sings the song but also lives the song Lara Fabian. Thank you very much for this wonderful reaction and analysis.
She is The One and Only Queen Lara 🔥❤🎧🔥
Definitely you need more to appreciate everything what she do
Also she released new song with new video
She is my first crush
Speaking in 6 languages....
Lara never disappoints ❤🔥
Lara performs this song with what feels like a life lived. If you notice at the end, when she notices the applause, that is when she finally drops the 'character' that she had been playing... or the hurt she had been reliving. Regardless, she is magnificent. And thank you for reintroducing this song to me. Have a blessed week ahead.
she is the best story teller in the world
Great reaction. Just subscribed to your channel hoping that you keep reacting to Lara. You will never be disappointed by any of her content. This song is from her concert "From Lara with love. Every song is well worth reacting to. Once again, loved your reaction.
Kind of breathtaking, isn't it? I first heard Miss Fabian sing when I lived in Brussels in the early 1990s and was blown away. Her interpretive skill is off the chart.
This particular song is an absolute masterpiece.
Check out another song, Broken vows! She is great, was classically trained in Belgium, from the age of eight!
yes, indeed. the more I listen to her, the more I love her and respect her talent. Oui, en effet, plus je l'écoute et plus j'aime et je respecte son talent.
I absolutely love the sincerity in your reaction. Your expressions said it all
Ok, so I just watched your Caruso reaction and re-visited this one I had viewed about a week ago... gosh sorry I didn't comment! I think you are the only one that has used the word grit to describe some of the passages here, so accurate. There are so many entertainers (the Grammys are so full of them) in this so called music industry but sadly not very many performers. So many places outside of this country really celebrate the performing arts, just a singer, a piano and a microphone. No crazy lighting, skimpy costumes, fireworks and specially autotune microphones and other digital voice enhancing. Thank you again for a great review/reaction!🎼🎵
You must do Je'taime, Live in Paris. The love between Lara and the audience I've never seen before, or since.
A masterclass ❤
Love your reaction methodology, hiding the subtitles after her speech, and letting yourself experience the song both emotionally and lyrically. Beautiful work on your part, merci!
yes...she pours her heart into her songs. Lauren you are lovely...thanks for your own honesty.
Totally « honest » indeed . My poor English couldn’t allow me to understand every word but even Lauren’s explanations were emotional to a point that u don’t have to speak her language to _ sort of _ « share » them . What I found amazing is her own state of mind and how she happened to get it mixing technical explanations and personal remarks . Very taking and interesting …
Look "adagio" "caruso" and "yentl medley" live Montréal 1997 👍👍👍
I've seen this performance dozens of times at least and it still gets me every single time. One of the greatest performances of all time.
Hello Lauren, AmericansLearn, from South France, 🌴🌞
Serge Lama’s original version (1973) on the INA Archive video (available on YT) is also very fascinating.
The difference lies in each person’s situation. Lara, like Dalida, are the actresses of the song.
In the manner of the chant’s French school instituted by Édith Piaf and then followed by C. Trenet, C. Aznavour, L. Ferré, J. Brel, and many more, the singer draws inspiration from his own life, from his own experiences similar to the theme of the song that he must interpret.
He slips into the skin of the character and plays with his emotions. The singer becomes an actor in the song, exactly like in the cinema.
This method will also inspire the legendary “Actor Studio.”
On the other hand, in the INA Archive video where Serge Lama sings the song. The situation is fundamentally different. He doesn’t play or interpret. He experiences the situation he describes concretely and simultaneously.
We even perceive him speaking directly to this woman through the camera. It is no longer a song. It’s a dialogue, an actual presentation. Without any artifice, he exposes her his distress and despair in the face of this unbearable situation.
We then see him literally liquefy on the TV set.
The worst comes when the lyrics emphasize the irony of the singer’s situation, who hears his own voice singing about his misfortunes.
An outstanding actor can make you cry in a movie, and a singer can, too. The proof here is with Lara.
However, in real life, when someone is depressed and thus exposes their misfortunes to you, even if it’s a very close person, it will rarely make you shed a tear unless you feel her throat tightening as she holds back her sorrow. But, it’s just what we call natural empathy inherent in each human being, depending on their own level of sensitivity.
The moment’s emotion is much simpler and much less spectacular than in the cinema or on stage, like here.
And yet, the one who is indeed suffering martyrdom at that moment is him, Serge Lama.
The actors or actresses and singers, as outstanding as they are, aren’t suffering physically.
Therefore, Serge Lama’s interpretation in this particular video is a textbook case, a singularity.
Peace, folks. ☮👈😎
now you can compare Lara and Dimash performances of the same songs :) like ADAGIO
Adagio, Broken Vow and You're Not From Here from the same concert are a must.
Thanks for the reaction. She is great and the song is touching.. deeply... french language is very good for this. BTW, the name of your channel is GREAT.
Hi, Lauren. One thing I noticed after viewing a few performances on the French version of The Voice is that the French take on singing is rather different from that of the Americans, and even other Europeans. Many French singers, especially when performing French songs, almost speak the song, rather than sing it. This makes their performances more like a spoken word performance than a musical performance, at least to my American ear. For me, this makes many French singers' performances much, much more dramatic than popular American or other European performers. I'd love to hear your take on this. JT
Oh, that's interesting. I'd have to listen to more French songs and singers to really comment on it, but that does track from what little I have heard.
So do the Dutch, see Andre Hazes for example. He does Eenzaam zonder jou which has the Caruso melody
You should watch Lara sing Amour in Paris. The whole crowd sings the song to her, very touching.
she makes me proud to be Belgian! Nobody is able to convey emtion like she does.
Please tell me , I live in Belgium and feel like they don’t give her enough credit here. Like, you have one of the best artists out there and she barely sounds on the radio? People barely mention her
sadly that is true, I dont know why? I cant understand why she never is in "all time 100 - lists "
@@55555gino
I thought she was French 😂
@@danielanjos7947 She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages. Later she moved to Canada and now she has two nationalities Belgian and Canadian.
Why being proud of that ? We don’t even choose our nationality (Except a few cases)
The very beautiful, very strong but always velvety voice of Lara Fabian in her 4.2 octaves range.
Endless breath control, seamless connection of words and sentences, effortless singing.
Always simple clothing style when performing, very little make up, no or very little jewelry, always natural fingernails....... The only thing the audience gets from Lara is the sublime 4.2 octave voice and the emotional and expressive performances.
Classy women know that simplicity is needed to be classy: a lot of jewelry and fake fingernails are vulgar: just tasteless people use that! Besides that, the clothes she's wearing are sofisticated.
One of only a few that can do this. It resonates in every fiber of your body and soul.
