For me she is the best female singer in the world. Her way to bring all the feelings from the deep ocean to the surface of our hearts is amazingly beautiful. I love her emotional performances and all her songs. 💖💞💖💖💖
I’ve always felt that Dion is cold, that her “emotions” are not felt and that their just an act. I feel that Lara really “feels” what she’s singing about.
Your comment was the one displayed beneath the video on my phone, and reading it, I immediately wondered whether I had written it! The more Celine Dion became 'Celine Dion' the less engaging I found her. I have noticed that I like her better when she sings in French. Lara on the other hand seems to find the music and the emotion in any of her languages. It's surprising that she has not taken on any musical theatre (that I am aware of) because she uses lyrics as an actor would explore the possibilities of a text, and a character, with a vary granular and intentional attention to detail.
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 most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer. • 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 french and italian 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 now lives in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship She became very famous there 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 and the song you just reviewed is from this concert. 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, … 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, Ascolta la Voce), ○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow), ○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace), ○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Julie Anne san Jose (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), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ .... 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. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
“Je suis Malade” 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 compose 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. They became good friends. Lara has made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power and Serge Lama adopted these in his later interpretations. The 1999 version ("From Lara with Love" Concert in Montreal) th-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/w-d-xo.html (Version with english subtitles) 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.
Actually, Celines management took active action to literally block and destroy Laras career - without Celine doing anything against it. If you are so afraid of somebody, you literally admit she is better. And yes, Lara is the better artist, a true one.
I had the honor of seeing her live this past October for her “Best Of” tour. I live in Knoxville, TN, but I travelled all the way to Charleroi in Belgium for the concert. At 52, she absolutely still has it. Did not disappoint
Great points you make about Lara's expertise on display in this performance. Don't overlook the moments following the last note. Lara's performance is often not over yet.
Как люблю эту замечательную певицу Лару Фабиан! Ее голос и исполнение любой песни,хотя и не понимаю языка.Ее голос завораживает.Хочется слушать и слушать.👋👋👋🌷🌺🌹
Thank you for showing her the respect of watching it all the way through. I so appreciate it when people just let it flow over them and THEN give us their reaction, analysis, etc. Often I get so frustrated by the interruptions for banal commentary that I end up clicking away. But given the way you did this, I stuck with you till the end (take that, algorithm!). Really, really great take on this. You don't have much in the way of a catalogue yet, but I'm subscribing, and await eagerly any notifications of other reactions of interest (read: Lara Fabian et al.).
Great comments ! It’s Lara’s birthday today: she turns 53! She still performs amazingly as her last tour 2 months ago proved it. I attended a concert and it was WOW! She is Dimash’s idol ( he covered several of her songs) and the inspiration of many others. Btw Josh Groban also covered her masterpiece Broken Vow. I will post another (long) comment on her background, career and the influence she has on the new generation of vocalists. Here is a short list of suggestions to start a journey with Lara: Songs she wrote: • Adagio (english version) : th-cam.com/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/w-d-xo.html (covered among others by Dimash, Floor Jansen, Dame Shirley Bassey, Il Divo) • You are not from here (english): th-cam.com/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/w-d-xo.html • Broken Vow (english): th-cam.com/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/w-d-xo.html (covered by Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Morissette Amon, Katrina Velarde, Regine Velasquez, Cakra Khan, ….) • I guess I loved you (english): th-cam.com/video/EwI-HIfSyqU/w-d-xo.html • Je t'aime (french): th-cam.com/video/l826rlBOn9w/w-d-xo.html (covered by Polina Gagarina, Giula Falcone, …) When she covers a song, she often makes it her own. Some amazing covers she made: • Je suis malade (french, song from Serge Lama): th-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/w-d-xo.html • Caruso (italian, song from Lucio Dalla): th-cam.com/video/BP2KnLemT78/w-d-xo.html • Perdere L'Amore (italian, song from Massimo Ranieri): th-cam.com/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/w-d-xo.html • Yentl Medley (Papa can you hear me + A piece of sky, chained , cover of her idol Barbra Streisand, english): th-cam.com/video/zW8lalHMwxk/w-d-xo.html • I will always love you (cover of Dolly Parton / Whitney Houston, english): th-cam.com/video/4f-wx-ue89U/w-d-xo.html • Love by grace (cover of Wynona Judd): th-cam.com/video/8V0pGXZxxzE/w-d-xo.html
@@camajespa i am not sure we can see it. Apparently she did perform it on some concerts of one of her tour, some of her fans confirmed it, even Lara spoke about it last June in her quebec concerts, but we / I never saw a video of it. There were no smartphones at that time lol
Vaya vaya Carlos!!....Cuando te envié mi comentarios para que reaccionaras a La Diosa Lara Fabian, no sabía que ya la conocías...Je, je,.je!!..…Y no había visto el cover que hiciste de ella...Por eso es que uno tiene que revisar el canal primero porque uno no sabe....De todos modos, gracias mi hermano por esta estupenda reacción a mi querida Lara.....Saludos!!
For me she and Dimash are the best specially because all the emotions they convey singing. It will be interesting if you react to both singing the same song like Adagio and together like Ti amo cosi
First time watching you. Great job. Loved your reaction. Lara is Master Class. Completely captivating. Check out her live versions of Adagio and You´re Not From Here.
Great stuff, informative. Love it. Celine is awesome, few would argue. Lara is warmer, and stays so throughout. A voice that one can listen to all day. She is the Queen, long may she reign.
@@carlosgsantiago Thanks for your response. Finally, Lara is not to be missed "live' - she is an experience, an artist, a performer... not just a voice.
La versión de ésta cancion de #Forestella es también increíble, tanto que el autor de la canción Serge Lama quedo impresionado con la interpretación de Forestella y los felicitó en sus redes sociales! En verdad ojalá puedas reaccionar a ella!
@@carlosgsantiago I'd highly recommend their performance of "Je Suis Malade"- it really showcases each singer's vocal colors, which you don't get as much in Bohemian Rhapsody or Utopia.
Ticketing for a concert from Lara “with brand new songs and surprise guests” on March 23rd has started. The concert is located in … Astana, Kazakhstan. I cannot believe that a famous local fan would not be present as a guest to this one. Let’s see 😀
Regardez Adagio et Caruso. La version de je suis malade Acapella et sans micro lors du concert en tout intimité donne des frissons et les larmes aux yeu juste magnifique comme Lara

Você ja ouviu JE SUIS MALADE interpretada pelo grupo coreano FORESTELLA cantando ela em francês com uma pronuncia impecável ( frase dita por especialistas musicais da França)? SUPER RECOMENDO OUVIR FORESTELLA !!!
Will you please react to Lara Fabian & Mario Frangoulis cover of Cole Porters So in Love from Kiss Me Kate? I would love to see your thoughts. Mario also have an amazing voice and is classically trained and has a beautiful cover of Knights in White Satin in Italian!
Hola Carlos,despues de Lara FABIAN,existe otras 2 divas más,no sé si las conoces,que son Diana NAVARRO(el perdon,sola salamanca,...)y Mónica NARANJO(Sobreviviré,Europa,...)estoy seguro que te van gustar y vas a tener mucho éxito en tu canal con ellas.Un saludo desde Bruselas.
Hey there, I'm new to your channel; I love Lara, and I was looking at your reaction list (happy to see you've reacted to Dimash). If you're looking at branching out, are you familiar with Pentatonix? They're from your part of the world: a cappella group who, in my opinion anyway, is absolutely phenomenal (I tend to forget they aren't using instruments). My guess is that you're familiar with them, but on the off chance you aren't, I'd love to see you react to them. Usually people start by reacting to their version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Either way, thanks for reacting to Lara and Dimash. xo from Canada!
For me as someone who likes both Lara and Celine it feels like Lara brings way more emotion to the songs while Celine is focusing more on her technique or something, idk ,im not a vocal coach tho.
Lara tends to be more of a physical performer, meaning she's more expressive with her body language as well as the voice. Celine for me is a bit more introverted with emotions, with Celine it's more of a feeling with her voice. Especially when she sings in French! But they both share the ability to you feel every word they sing, just in different ways!

Great reaction. Could you please react to Faouzia- any of her stripped version song, especially 'Tears of Gold (stripped)'? She is one of my fav singer beside Lara Fabian
Great reaction. Thank you from Italy. Please react to Cakra Khan Anyone Demi lovato cover. Cakra Khan is the best Indonesian singer, incredible raspy voice, this is for you! Love.
Please react to Lara’s “Je T’aime(live concert)”. It’s really really amazing and stunning. She’s French singing Queen. Please turn on the English subtitles. 🙏 th-cam.com/video/3DSj59tXQys/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Carlos for your top reaction. Lara is in her own league. If she had made it in America (but as you said, the seat was already occupied and she didn't have the right people around her...), she would have been a superstar like Céline or Mariah Carey. Vocally, Lara has nothing to envy the other two divas, her voice is fantastic, her technique is flawless, she's a powerhouse, and her story telling is insane. (Not to mention how pretty she is and her charisma/charm). Would be nice if you could react to her "The Prayer" duet with Michael Bolton, and her breathtaking live performances in Russia with this very well known russian song th-cam.com/video/OxAC9QdhKKo/w-d-xo.html or this spanish one dealing with domestic violence: th-cam.com/video/C8EHJ09TBMk/w-d-xo.html ;)
c'est vrai que chez vous vous il y à que céline qui à compter chez nous aussi mais ont à laisser la place à lara aussi est elle aussi bonne c'est dommage vous voyez maintenant que vous avez loupez quelques chose c'est balo hein vous inquiété pas ont compte pas sur les us pour réussir lol

You said it so much better! 😊
In rereading my comment, I realized that I spelt “their” incorrectly 😂
Dion is a singer, Lara is a Story Singer with throughout professional stage artistry on top of outstanding vocal abilities.
@@Ozymandi_as : i can’t agree more.
I love how desperate Fabian fans are to discredit Dion. Its so pathetic
Lara's one of the greatest performers of the last 30 years. Happy birthday Lara ❤️
Love Lara ❤
Love from Denmark ❤

Love her voice and the part when she was singing a cappella. ❤️
I am from curacao but she sings with feelings so nice we love her in the caribbean❤️
Well said about the greatest female voice on planet Earth! And it doesn't hurt that she was absolutely gorgeous!
She's still beautiful ! 😏
Listen Lara Fabian and Mauranne "Tu es mon autre".So beautiful too!Love from France ☮️✨🎶
Oh yes, please react on this song, so beautiful and emotional.
Maurane was another great Belgian singer with her unique voice and so talented!
I had the honor of seeing her live this past October for her “Best Of” tour. I live in Knoxville, TN, but I travelled all the way to Charleroi in Belgium for the concert. At 52, she absolutely still has it. Did not disappoint
I’m jealous!!!
What an analysis! Congratulations
Thank you, so kind!
Captivating….each time I watch/hear this version…haven’t got tired of this yet!! Still in awe if this mastery…
Love Celine but Lara Fabian could be her vocal coach....IMHO. Right here is one of the greatest vocal artists on this planet. Great reaction.
Mesmerizing in every possible way! My favourite female singer of all time❤
One of my all-time faves!❤
Very good reaction. It's always interesting to listen to the informed comments of a real singer 😉
Thank you so much!
🇨🇦 Celine had the unique, recognizable voice, but Lara has the larger, unique Talent !

She is telling the story, to you, personally, face to face. And you get involved, you can not escape.
Emo & powerful ♥️ Lara! THX’s so much Carlos ♥️
Thank you for showing her the respect of watching it all the way through. I so appreciate it when people just let it flow over them and THEN give us their reaction, analysis, etc.
Often I get so frustrated by the interruptions for banal commentary that I end up clicking away. But given the way you did this, I stuck with you till the end (take that, algorithm!). Really, really great take on this. You don't have much in the way of a catalogue yet, but I'm subscribing, and await eagerly any notifications of other reactions of interest (read: Lara Fabian et al.).
I do my best! Still learning and growing as I go along, all of you help on this Journey.
Great comments !
It’s Lara’s birthday today: she turns 53!
She still performs amazingly as her last tour 2 months ago proved it. I attended a concert and it was WOW!
She is Dimash’s idol ( he covered several of her songs) and the inspiration of many others.
Btw Josh Groban also covered her masterpiece Broken Vow.
I will post another (long) comment on her background, career and the influence she has on the new generation of vocalists.
Here is a short list of suggestions to start a journey with Lara:
Songs she wrote:
• Adagio (english version) : th-cam.com/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/w-d-xo.html (covered among others by Dimash, Floor Jansen, Dame Shirley Bassey, Il Divo)
• You are not from here (english): th-cam.com/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/w-d-xo.html
• Broken Vow (english): th-cam.com/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/w-d-xo.html (covered by Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Morissette Amon, Katrina Velarde, Regine Velasquez, Cakra Khan, ….)
• I guess I loved you (english): th-cam.com/video/EwI-HIfSyqU/w-d-xo.html
• Je t'aime (french): th-cam.com/video/l826rlBOn9w/w-d-xo.html (covered by Polina Gagarina, Giula Falcone, …)
When she covers a song, she often makes it her own.
Some amazing covers she made:
• Je suis malade (french, song from Serge Lama): th-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/w-d-xo.html
• Caruso (italian, song from Lucio Dalla): th-cam.com/video/BP2KnLemT78/w-d-xo.html
• Perdere L'Amore (italian, song from Massimo Ranieri): th-cam.com/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/w-d-xo.html
• Yentl Medley (Papa can you hear me + A piece of sky, chained , cover of her idol Barbra Streisand, english): th-cam.com/video/zW8lalHMwxk/w-d-xo.html
• I will always love you (cover of Dolly Parton / Whitney Houston, english): th-cam.com/video/4f-wx-ue89U/w-d-xo.html
• Love by grace (cover of Wynona Judd):
th-cam.com/video/8V0pGXZxxzE/w-d-xo.html
I co-sign all of this. ESPECIALLY Caruso, Perdere L’Amore, Je Suis Malade, and the Yentl medley.
If I didn’t think she was great already, you’re telling me she’s a Capricorn ♑️?!
Please, where can I see or hear Barbra Streisand singing broken vow???
@@camajespa i am not sure we can see it. Apparently she did perform it on some concerts of one of her tour, some of her fans confirmed it, even Lara spoke about it last June in her quebec concerts, but we / I never saw a video of it. There were no smartphones at that time lol
@@ericsicard910 thanks! so sad... I would have loved to hear it!
That was a great reaction, Carlos!
Vaya vaya Carlos!!....Cuando te envié mi comentarios para que reaccionaras a La Diosa Lara Fabian, no sabía que ya la conocías...Je, je,.je!!..…Y no había visto el cover que hiciste de ella...Por eso es que uno tiene que revisar el canal primero porque uno no sabe....De todos modos, gracias mi hermano por esta estupenda reacción a mi querida Lara.....Saludos!!
Gracias por la recomendación!
For me she and Dimash are the best specially because all the emotions they convey singing. It will be interesting if you react to both singing the same song like Adagio and together like Ti amo cosi
That’s very true!
Hello, Lara is very likely inspired by an other belgish artist: Jacques Brel. Discover him, if you don t know him
Will do thank you!
First time watching you. Great job. Loved your reaction. Lara is Master Class. Completely captivating. Check out her live versions of Adagio and You´re Not From Here.
I recommend the 'Forestella' version of this song.
You will never regret it.
Goosebumps everytime!🙌🏼
Thx for reacting 🎤🎶💜
Only singer who always make me cry……..
Great stuff, informative. Love it. Celine is awesome, few would argue. Lara is warmer, and stays so throughout. A voice that one can listen to all day. She is the Queen, long may she reign.
Very true, Lara’s voice is warmer!
@@carlosgsantiago Thanks for your response. Finally, Lara is not to be missed "live' - she is an experience, an artist, a performer... not just a voice.
@@carlosgsantiago yeah! Celine sings nasally which I don't like
La versión de ésta cancion de #Forestella es también increíble, tanto que el autor de la canción Serge Lama quedo impresionado con la interpretación de Forestella y los felicitó en sus redes sociales! En verdad ojalá puedas reaccionar a ella!
Celine sings, Lara Portraits, she feels it. Her whole body and voice are into it. I give the edge to Lara
Her voice Is much moor expressive than Celine this girl Is an actress dramatic actress siinger
I thought it was Forestella singing just by looking at the song title~^^; Forestella also sang this song.
I've not seen their rendition of this song! I've seen their Bohemian Rhapsody and I've been suggested Utopia!
@@carlosgsantiago I'd highly recommend their performance of "Je Suis Malade"- it really showcases each singer's vocal colors, which you don't get as much in Bohemian Rhapsody or Utopia.
Me encanta como canta lara faviana muy bonita voz
Serge Lama was a big hit and played on radio for a few decades ... on radio stations that play French songs
Ticketing for a concert from Lara “with brand new songs and surprise guests” on March 23rd has started. The concert is located in … Astana, Kazakhstan.
I cannot believe that a famous local fan would not be present as a guest to this one. Let’s see 😀
Woah! Let me know if Dimash shows up!
@@carlosgsantiago let’s see if this is confirmed on Lara’s site first. It just popped up on kazakhs ticketing sites for now
Regardez Adagio et Caruso. La version de je suis malade Acapella et sans micro lors du concert en tout intimité donne des frissons et les larmes aux yeu juste magnifique comme Lara
Well done! Great analysis
Thank you!
You should react to her Carusso live!!!
Céline's songs are stupid, no poetry, no meaning, not to say stupid. Lara is in different level, her lyrics are beautiful and powerful
Also check Italian version of Adagio. U gonna cry like a baby.
She is perfect
Please also listen to Je suis malade from En toute intimité 2003 live. Totally different.
같은 노래를 포레스텔라버전으로도 들어보세요.
Wow. You're great. Following now.
Лара Фабијан на првом месту, иза ње 10 места празно, па тек онда сви остали певачи.Поздрав из Србије.
A think, Lara wrote the lyrics for AI, and she sings it alone, Josh Groban was singing once with her.
Much more emotional with lyrics.... You miss many things without them...
(Easy to find english subtitles)
I actually did read through the lyrics right after watching the video; they're so powerful and emotional!
There's a version with an Englist translation.
Hello, merci d'avoir réagi à lara fabian, elle est vraiment unique pour raconter l'histoire de la chanson et y donner son émotion.
J'ai une artiste exceptionnelle à te faire découvrir qui s'appelle mylene farmer.
Univers unique et mystique ,une voix incroyable et fragile.
Consiferer comme la reine des entrée et introduction de concert .
Artiste la plu populaire en France.
Écoute absolument la chanson ( avant que l'ombre) live Paris bercy 2006.
Écoute aussi introduction wortex interstellaire live Paris 2019
I'll keep those two songs in mind! Thank you for the recommendation and for visiting the channel! :)
Lara Fabian - Her Voice - Stands Alone ☮️💫
shi is Diva.
Try her Yendi live in Canada
Você ja ouviu JE SUIS MALADE interpretada pelo grupo coreano FORESTELLA cantando ela em francês com uma pronuncia impecável ( frase dita por especialistas musicais da França)?
SUPER RECOMENDO OUVIR FORESTELLA !!!
she is beating Celine in every single section of singing
👍
Did you hear Je Suis Malade by Korean Crossover group "Forestella"?
I just watched it during my most recent live stream!
Will you please react to Lara Fabian & Mario Frangoulis cover of Cole Porters So in Love from Kiss Me Kate? I would love to see your thoughts. Mario also have an amazing voice and is classically trained and has a beautiful cover of Knights in White Satin in Italian!
Lara❤❤❤❤Greeting from Croatia👍
Thank you! 👋🏽☺️
Hola Carlos,despues de Lara FABIAN,existe otras 2 divas más,no sé si las conoces,que son Diana NAVARRO(el perdon,sola salamanca,...)y Mónica NARANJO(Sobreviviré,Europa,...)estoy seguro que te van gustar y vas a tener mucho éxito en tu canal con ellas.Un saludo desde Bruselas.
Saludos! Las tendré en mente, gracias!
Hi Carlos, I advice you to hear a perormance from Diane Dufresne in concert : Le parc Belmont.
Hey there, I'm new to your channel; I love Lara, and I was looking at your reaction list (happy to see you've reacted to Dimash). If you're looking at branching out, are you familiar with Pentatonix? They're from your part of the world: a cappella group who, in my opinion anyway, is absolutely phenomenal (I tend to forget they aren't using instruments). My guess is that you're familiar with them, but on the off chance you aren't, I'd love to see you react to them. Usually people start by reacting to their version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Either way, thanks for reacting to Lara and Dimash. xo from Canada!
Sure am! I love Pentatonix! I may do a video on them VERY soon!
For me as someone who likes both Lara and Celine it feels like Lara brings way more emotion to the songs while Celine is focusing more on her technique or something, idk ,im not a vocal coach tho.
Lara tends to be more of a physical performer, meaning she's more expressive with her body language as well as the voice. Celine for me is a bit more introverted with emotions, with Celine it's more of a feeling with her voice. Especially when she sings in French! But they both share the ability to you feel every word they sing, just in different ways!
Please react to Mylène Farmer "rêver "

Vous oubliez le flamand, langue de son père. Elle le comprend mais ne le parle pas
Great reaction. Could you please react to Faouzia- any of her stripped version song, especially 'Tears of Gold (stripped)'? She is one of my fav singer beside Lara Fabian
Great reaction. Thank you from Italy. Please react to Cakra Khan Anyone Demi lovato cover. Cakra Khan is the best Indonesian singer, incredible raspy voice, this is for you! Love.
Grazie Mille!!!
солl.plz react to Dimash el amor tu in spanish.its wow.
Not secret info, but Dimash has adored Lara for years.
Nice reaction . I recommend you watch the same song from her “En toute intimité tour” . No need to post it . Just watch and listen . TCB.
Please react to Lara’s “Je T’aime(live concert)”. It’s really really amazing and stunning. She’s French singing Queen. Please turn on the English subtitles. 🙏
th-cam.com/video/3DSj59tXQys/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Carlos for your top reaction. Lara is in her own league. If she had made it in America (but as you said, the seat was already occupied and she didn't have the right people around her...), she would have been a superstar like Céline or Mariah Carey. Vocally, Lara has nothing to envy the other two divas, her voice is fantastic, her technique is flawless, she's a powerhouse, and her story telling is insane. (Not to mention how pretty she is and her charisma/charm).
Would be nice if you could react to her "The Prayer" duet with Michael Bolton, and her breathtaking live performances in Russia with this very well known russian song th-cam.com/video/OxAC9QdhKKo/w-d-xo.html or this spanish one dealing with domestic violence: th-cam.com/video/C8EHJ09TBMk/w-d-xo.html ;)
You cut off this video too early, much was to seen after the performance, she was totally spent and exhausted, very revealing, you cut that part off!
Lara will beat Celine in every moment in time
perdere lamore cuando?
The original song Serge Lama 1973 th-cam.com/video/HDbpZpm9j9c/w-d-xo.html
Celine is more as a pure child in front of Lara
c'est vrai que chez vous vous il y à que céline qui à compter chez nous aussi mais ont à laisser la place à lara aussi est elle aussi bonne c'est dommage vous voyez maintenant que vous avez loupez quelques chose c'est balo hein vous inquiété pas ont compte pas sur les us pour réussir lol
so...still a singer after seeing that? lol
VERY inspired to keep getting better 🤣 but I did have the split second thought of whether I should keep going or not. 😂😂😂
와우 대단한 가수다
포레스텔라로 다시 보게 되었습니다 감사합니다 감동입니다
T O X I C RELATIONSHIP !
