Wonderful reaction and analysis. Haven't seen this much passion in a reaction since your 'early Dimash'! (That's a compliment!!) Lara is truly a gifted performer. The entire concert this song is taken from is worthy of further reactions!! Thanks so much for your time!
Thank you so much, Cedric for showcasing the incredible Lara Fabian. I adore your Dimash reactions and the perspective you bring as an actor/ singer/ filmmaker. You can't go wrong with any of Lara's songs, and I'm sure Eric will provide some guidance. ❤
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, Aretha, Shirley Bassey, 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 10,000+ 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 and grand mother on father side is dutch, but she also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( the father of her mother is from Detroit). She had been raised in Sicilia first for 7 years 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 only moved away from opera to pop because she is first and foremost a songwriter. After her Eurovision participation in 1988 (4th), she really 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 moved to Sicilia end of 2022. She became very famous in Quebec in the early 90s with several double platine records 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 was 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 (singers from every region in the world: from China and Taiwan, to Philippines, Indonesia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Netherlands, Greece, Israel, Lebanon, Italy, France, Belgium, Norway, UK, USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Central Africa, …) ○ 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), ○ Charice Penpengco (Adagio), ○ 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), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Pauline Aguirre (Adagio)), ○ George Peris (Broken Vow, Humana), ○ Vitas (Adagio), ○ Wanessa Camargo (Love by Grace), ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Jeck (Je T’Aime), ○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio), ○ Anne Sila (pas sans toi, Tu es mon autre), ○ The Canadian Tenors (Adagio), ○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio), ○ Sarah Naura Irbah (Mademoiselle Hyde), ○ Elisabetta Rinaldi (Adagio), ○ Alyona Yarushina (Adagio), ○ Marie Payet (Pas sans toi), ○ Laurh (Immortelle), ○ Inger Lise Hope (Adagio), ○ Håkon Sønsterud Tollefsrød (Broken Vow), ○ Flora Tandi (Bambina), ○ Cindy Chao (Yeliel My Angel), ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Abraham Mateo (Adagio), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Russel Watson (Adagio), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ Annointed (Love by Grace), ○ 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 2022 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 just completed another popular tour in eastern europe (Czech Republic, Moldavia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkiye, Hungary) and in Canada in april-june 2024. She also appeared as a guest in some big events such as Hauser’s concert in Royal Albert Hall (May 9th 2024). Then, after some rest and a few TV Shows, she will tour France in 2025. The first song of her new album (titled "Ta Peine" - Your Sorrow) was released late January 2024 and is a success in France. Her album is expected to be released in fall 2024. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
Nice detail Eric! Been listening to Lara for 30 years and she still dominates my playlist by a lot. She is, in fact, what I listen to before nodding off at night…pretty much every night. I am going on a river cruise next year to Burgundy & Provence and was trying to catch her concert in Dijon but can not coordinate transportation from Lyon to Dijon on that date. C’est dommage.
It’s so nice to see someone that can value and understand what they’re watching. Loved this reaction so very much, you definitely added a lot to it. 🙏🏻
What a wonderful reaction to a beautifully heartbreaking song. I love hearing what you have to say as an actor as well because I love seeing and hearing performers live in the song and in that moment and it’s great to see others have that appreciation too!
“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
Truly wonderful reaction. Your own musical and dramatic knowledge lead you to recognize the multiple layers in Lara's exceptional performance. Please give us some more Lara reactions.
The Best analysis ever, congratulations. Parabéns pela mais precisa e completa análise. Assisti a dezenas sobre esta performance da extraordinária Lara Fabian.
So happy to see you doing a review of one of Lara's songs. Loved your review, and hope you will do more of Lara. Always do reviews of her live performances. I believe Eric Sicard gave you the links below. As Lara sings in many languages, some videos have translations. It is nice for us to see those. I am convinced you will enjoy this journey. 😊
Oh my, thank you Cedric! I can't tell you how many times I have watched this performance by Lara Fabian. It is mesmerizing and devastating and amazing. She totally immerses herself into the character of the song. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Lara one of the greatest singers ever and my nr one of female singers. I cant take my eyes and ears from this wonderful artist. She is also the nicest human you can think of. Human caring artist loved by millions. Great reaction. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.
I've been listening to this song for a couple of years after discovering her myself (through Dimash too) and I still get goosebumps EVERY TIME! It's an amazing performance. It's a piece of exquisite theater. I can see her influence in Dimash. Break a leg and have a great time with your new show.
You should check this other version of hers, even more theatrical th-cam.com/video/SyILdRAOS88/w-d-xo.html And even 24 years later she still owns this song completely : - concert in Montreal last June: th-cam.com/video/NfiW3dZ92dg/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared - french tv show just before the opening olympics ceremony, in duet with Slimane, chart leading star in France: th-cam.com/video/SyILdRAOS88/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant reaction and one of the best to such an incredible performance! My favourite female singer. I highly recommended that you react to the following songs. Adagio, You're not from here, Broken Vow, Caruso and Perdere l'amore. They are really amazing like all her songs are. Very much looking forward to your next reaction! Greetings from London 😀
Thank you for making the effort to discover the artist Lara Fabian. She is not very well known in the United States for various reasons despite her immense talent. The rest of the world knows her and she is simply my favorite singer because her singing and her voice transport me. Magnificent reaction, you are talented. Friendship from France.
One of the best reactions to this song I've seen. You should check out her live performance of Barbra Streislands A piece of Sky and Papa can you hear me, its outstanding
Dimash has been a fan of Lara since his childhood .. thats how I found my way to her ❤ .. She's one of the best storytellers out there ❤ Greatings from an old Danish Dear and Angel 🌷🇩🇰❤️
Merci Cedric, j'aime beaucoup tes réactions car elles sont toujours très intéressantes et je trouve tes commentaires toujours appropriés et justes. Je suis de Montréal Québec, et j'aime Lara Fabian depuis très longtemps déjà. Elle est extraordinaire! Pas surpris d'ailleur qu'elle soit une des idoles de Dimash !
I'm no actor, but I took a few classes here and there, and you knew it was real and good when you were in a scene and it was moment to moment another reality you stepped into accepted totally and glided back out of, where you could look back at it and all there was to say was wow, we NAILED that. And having seen Lara live this summer for the first time, twenty-odd years after these videos were made, she is still making that voice live the moment in astounding ways. If you EVER get the chance to see her live, do whatever you have to do, spend whatever time and money you need to, and go. Don't think twice, just do it. It's an experience of a lifetime.
What impresses me the most in this performance is the sick smile on his face when she say “Je Suis Malade”. He reflects an incredible detail on his face in an incredibly successful way.
So I live in Montreal. Lara's from Belgium but she blew up here a bit after Celine in the late 80s and we really made fun of her a lot here, the media was borderline cruel with her because she was so over-the-top dramatic, she'd cry in interviews and things like that, it was a lot lol. Clearly incredible voice but poor girl left her heart exposed in life as well as in her art probably a bit too much! People love her to bits though, she lives here full-time now and anything that comes out of her mouth is adored and studied. Not sure if you're looking for suggestions but I would give you a double bill, bear with me while I explain - Celine's manager & husband René, his intended Celine earlier in the 70s was a woman named Ginette Reno but as they were about to take the really big steps she decided world fame wasn't for her, she was happy with QC fame so she backed away. Celine's mom had René in her sights because she knew he'd been Ginette's manager, she brought him a tape of Celine singing and he went for it, the rest is history. My suggestion is - Ginette had a song that makes all of QC cry, written by one of our pillars who actually passed away recently, Jean-Pierre Ferland, called C'est beau. It means "It's Beautiful" and it became an anthem for francophone Quebeckers who wanted to separate from Canada. In 2008 it was the 400th anniversary of the founding of the city of Quebec, there was an insane series of concerts put on and Celine was one. SHE BROUGHT OUT Jean-Pierre and started singing C'est beau, then in the second verse Ginette appeared and it was just an explosion of love and tears everywhere, people were drowning lol. I'd suggest watching Ginette's performance in 75, and then the 2008 performance with both of them. QC's two muses singing together, it's an overwhelming one! I won't put the links in case your comment settings block them but search for: Ginette Reno - Un peu plus haut, un peu plus loin (1975) Céline Dion & Ginette Reno - Un peu plus haut, Un peu plus loin (2008) 💜
There's a reason that Lara was Dimash's idol while he was growing up. They have so much in common, from being multi-lingual, to being wonderful storytellers, to the emotion that they can evoke in the listener, and even their humility on and away from the stage. No wonder he covered so many of her songs and did several duets with her!
If you want to see her acting skills again but with songs exposing better her vocal range: Yentl medley (english): th-cam.com/video/zW8lalHMwxk/w-d-xo.html Requiem pour un fou (french, with english subtitles) in duet with french rocker legend Johnny Hallyday: th-cam.com/video/zR1rkt_0biA/w-d-xo.html Calling You (english): th-cam.com/video/KkfXEb_VyLM/w-d-xo.html Oh and by the way Lara did perform in some movies (small roles but with Kevin Kline, Ashley Judd, …)
Aloha Cedric! As usual, you are the perfect one to react to Lara, as she personifies and feeds off of the songs she sings. All her songs are just masterpieces!
Lara as a vocal coach to a contestant asking how to sing deep emotions without impacting the voice: « sing the emotions in your head, feel the emotions in your heart but keep your throat free ». Apparently, this is easy for her 😂
Cette chanson est une merveilleuse reprise d'une chanson écrite dans les années 70 par Serge Lama, un chanteur français, et ça raconte son histoire. Lara Fabian a fait cette chanson sienne et quand elle dit "tu m'as privée de tous mes chants, tu m'as vidée de tous mes mots, pourtant je crois que j'avais du talent" et plus loin elle dit qu'elle crêvera seule, près de sa radio, en écoutant sa chanson, sa propre voix... c'est une chanteuse amoureuse, une artiste blessée, que cet amour tue jusqu'à son art... à la manière des artistes romantiques du 19e siecle, poètes maudits...
This performance is magnificent. Dimash is a big fan. She wrote a song for Dimash plus she worked with Igor Krutoy in the past. Dimash, Aida G. And Lara performed together in a fantastic trio.
Je suis Lara Fabian depuis plus de 20 ans, elle est ma chanteuse préférée. Pour ma part, c'est une des plus belles voix au monde. En plus, une des rares qui VIT vraiment ce qu'elle chante, avec ses tripes, son coeur. C'est une chanteuse exceptionnelle, en plus d'être une belle personne sur tous les aspects. 🙂
As someone who has a passion for theatre, you will definitely appreciate Lara’s talents (gifts) by watching the entire En Toute Intimite concert. The best link is from the “Lara the ring Fabian” channel where Gabby has done a wonderful job providing translated close captioning. This is an experience you will treasure…guaranteed.
I knew you were gonna love this one, Cedric! I have watched this umpteen times, and her performance still breaks my heart, un peu. You can see what Dimash loved about her. This whole concert from Montreal is flamazing!! Her voice was totally on point. Her singing CARUSO is also another performance for the ages. Break legs in your show!! Thanks for this ❤
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 "Perdere l'Amore" in Italian --> th-cam.com/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/w-d-xo.html "Caruso" --> th-cam.com/video/BP2KnLemT78/w-d-xo.html "Quédate" in Spanish --> th-cam.com/video/cX0CPdBV75E/w-d-xo.html
And by the way do you know that "SOS d’un terrien en detresse" is a song from one of the most famous french musical titled Starmania? One of the last songs where the main character is bending over the body of his girlfriend who just has been killed. The musical is packed with masterpieces that have been covered by Lara or other greats such as Celine, Cindy Lauper, …
Cedric, I don't where to start? You are so convincing and truthful and talented, you are amazing. I have seen Lara do this performance many, many times watching different reactors literally go into shock and many of them start to cry. Can we, for just a moment, put ourselves into that live audience? When the 16 second finale was over the audience stood AS ONE to offer their thank you and congratulations to a performer who was magnificent in every way. Cedric, now it must be very clear to you why Dimash was enamored with Lara and the style of her singing which carries so much emotion with it. Being classically trained since he was a little boy Dimash felt he was 'missing something' in his performances and he immediately recognized it was exactly what Lara could do so well, to bring genuine emotion into whatever she sings. They became friends and are still very close friends to this day. One fun video that is nice to see (it's on you tube) is to see Lara pick up the phone (yes, a land phone) at home, and call Dimash to wish him a "Happy Birthday". Lara's husband was in the background drying dishes or something and it's the most beautifully sung "Happy Birthday" I have ever heard. Cedric, how do you find time to do all that you do? As they say on the street, "You are a piece of work!" (Of course I know the answer to my question. You love what you do and why would you ever want to slow down? 🙂)

I also watched Lara sing this performance as my introduction to her work. I was blown away. I’m convinced she took every heartbreak she ever experienced and poured them into this song. I never heard of her before my Dimash journey, and don’t routinely listen to her work now, but I will forever be in awe of her extreme talent. Thanks so much for doing this. Hearing your take on her performance was the finishing touch. ♥️☮️🎶
Lara's songs are rich and varied 15 records over 140 songs don't be content with her early live performances from the 2000s with these vocal performances Lara is much more than that some spectacular tracks "I an a Wa"th-cam.com/video/mKLdLox918A/w-d-xo.html "l'oubli"th-cam.com/video/3ob-a4tPNcg/w-d-xo.html "dance"th-cam.com/video/nHYi7rYD1yk/w-d-xo.html "par amour"th-cam.com/video/rjrTd8VeP64/w-d-xo.html "tango" th-cam.com/video/9p1UrKzYti0/w-d-xo.html "papillon"th-cam.com/video/dzWit_mevK0/w-d-xo.html and many more to discover. Lara Fabian is a true artist, author, composer and performer. a sunny woman who catches you like a moth in the light. lara the best of humanity...
This all concert of Lara has some really crazy performances, you should check "Adagio", "You're not from here" , "broken vows", "Caruso" and "" perdere el amore " wich are in italian. She's one of the best vocalist in the world. You will be blown away 😉💜
19 seconds by my count. The Queen of Speech Singing, American Icon Dolly Parton mastered the craft. Lara has covered 1 song & picked one of the library of songs (4,000+ in the 1970’s). Elvis Presley, Lionel Richie, Kenny Rogers, the group Heart, Whitney Houston, and many other artist that pick through her library of songs that she gifted to young artist. Vastly different singer’s with different styles. Both are song writer’s , Lara has a composer Igor that she works exclusively with now. ❤️✌🏼
For my money, this is the single greatest performance/interpretation of a song on stage that I’ve ever seen. That being said, as an actor, I think you would also greatly appreciate Lara’s performance of “Comme Ila Disent.” It is right up there with this performance, although perhaps a little more “staged.” th-cam.com/video/1vrbHxIbK10/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aZfQ8RFQHC-RA221
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que! Gracias!
Congrats on your play👍 Very nice reaction to this outstanding performance. Oh, and Lara can hold a note longer than that😍 Lara’s parents recognized her talent early on and enrolled her in the Royal Conservatory of Brussels when she was eight years old; she studied there for 10 years. I highly recommend Johnny Hallyday and Lara Fabian with “Requiem pour on fou”, so amazing😍😍 th-cam.com/video/zR1rkt_0biA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AX_NK9xmB380ASM7
Note: Dimash learned from Lara, by watching her on tv and TH-cam since he was a kid, he said this himself. When the first met in person, he almost cried. He said that she is his idol and one of his greatest inspiration to become who he is currently. She was trained to be an Opera Singer for 10 years (from her 8 to 18 years) at The Royal Conservatory from Belgium, she also plays piano and guitar, she composed 90% of her repertoire in 4 languages as well. She hasn't stopped to have vocal classes since her 8 years old, she keeps having vocal lessons 3 times per week and she practices her voice at least 2 hours everyday, she proudly speakers about this in many interviews. She decided to compose and performe Pop songs instead of classical one's. She's fluently in 4 languages and has already sang in 12 languages perfectly. She is a master in terms of breathing control and support, resonance, vowels pronunciation and emotion delivering / acting while performing. Thank you for this reaction. ❤ Hugs from Brazil. Ps: Lara's is currently on tour and also being a vocal coach at the The Voice Kids in France. She has been working as vocal coach at the The Voice (both adult and kids) in France and Canada for many many years now. She is know as THE RING in France and Canada.
Wow! First off, thank you for this amazing reaction!! 💜 This performance from Lara is the best ever! 🥰 I watch every video of people reacting to it. You're the first person out of 100's that describes it exactly how I felt the first time I saw it. Being a fan of Lara for over 30 years, her voice is just unmatched!! Again, thank you! It felt like reliving my very own first time reaction! 🙏
TY Cedric - hearing a performers POV was great. you got more excited as you started to realize Lara is doing 14 things at once all intentional. She is the best live performer of the last 30 years...she is the Queen, long may she reign.
Wow ! Wow ! Wow ! What a reaction ! The mix between your musical expertise and your own subjectivity/sensivity is incredibly enligthenig and, I must say, quite moving. By far the best review of this emotional tsunami of a song. Try "Adagio" : she sung it during the same live concert, it gives a new meaning to the word "epic".
🇨🇦 That performance ( and it is truely that ) is only about 1/3 of the weapons in her arsenal ! If you want a complete picture of Lara, you should take the time to read completely, the half dozen comments from Eric Sicard, our resident expert ! Since you like Dimash, you will probably have heard him sing "Adagio" which was co-written by Lara, and my suggestion would be for you to react to Lara singing it from her live concert, "From Lara with Love" ! 🇨🇦
For those of us that have known of her for years, it's such a buzz when watching a new 'review' video by vocal coaches. We already know by the end of the video how blown away the coach is going to be ahead of time. Also she is the only one that I know that has created so many reviews by vocal coaches due to the heavy requests they get. I find myself now seeking out the dozens and dozens of these review videos just for the fun of watching their jaws drop in awe, or when they so often actually break down in tears - happens all the time. She would be dynamite in musical theatre, bet you'd kill for her to be in Anastasia? What other artist has that effect ? Imagine how difficult it would be to WRITE and sing great songs/lyrics in a foreign language as she does (e.g. in flawless English etc). Try listening/reviewing her 'Adagio' or 'Broken Vow' or 'Caruso' - unbeatable.
The ebb and flow of the song is actually also an indication of the feelings it portrays - when you are in a bad situation, when you are sick, you get bursts of energy, of anger, when you want to DO something, but your energy is so low that those moments don't last long and you drop back into exhaustion/complacency.
This is my favorite song of Lara Fabian. It's also my favorite song for Forestella. If you haven't watched them do this song, please do. I've seen plenty of people singing the song that don't compare to Lara or Forestella but it's perfect for these performers. Lara has an amazing voice and her expressions pull you into whatever she sings.
Translation of Voilá: Listen to me Me, the wannabe singer Talk about me To your love ones , to your friends Tell them about the girl with the dark eyes and crazy dreams Me, what I want is to write stories that will reach you That’s all There you go, there you go, there you go here is who I am Here I am even if stripped bare, I’m afraid, yes Here I am in the noise And in the silence Look at me Or at least what’s left of it Look at me Before I hate myself What can I say to you, that the lips of another won’t tell you It’s not much, but all I have I put it there. That's it There you go, there you go, there you go here is who I am Here I am even if stripping it's over It’s my face, it’s my cry Here I am, too bad There you go, there you go, there you go It’s right here Me, my dream, my desire How I die, how I laugh Here I am in the noise And in the silence Do not go I beg you to stay for a long time It might not save me, no But to do without you, I don’t know how Love me like you love a friend Who goes away forever I want to be loved, because I don’t know how to love the shape of me. There you go, there you go, there you go here is who I am Here I am even if laying bare I understood Here I am in the noise And in fury too finally look at me And my eyes and my hands Everything I have is here It’s my face, it’s my cry Here I am, here I am, here I am
i dont speak english as much as i would like, sorry. But i love the way you react, you don't just listen but you feel and explain, the way it's supposed to be. And shout out to Lara, she's such a crazy singer, but so humble at the same time.... one of my favorite.
AND you haven't even watched her singing the last chorus of this song without a mic, when the band/orchestra start silent and she starts put the mic totally away from her mouth (almost 3 feet/ 1 meter) and starts acapella "Je suits Malade, completment Malade..." Which she uses to do very often in HUGES places just to deliver more emotion and show case her vocal resonance tho. The audience goes CRAZY everytime she does this.
Lara’s own song Broken Vow should be your next reaction and then Caruso after that! Both incredible, from the same concert ‘From Lara with Love’ of the performance you just watched. Every song from that concert is just amazing! Lara is fantastic!
The thing is, she is very much in the tradition of French Chanson in that song. Like Brel, Aznavour things like that. It's a story that she is telling. She is living it and acting it. But she has such amazing range and an insane voice. She reigns it to act a story. It's not a song, even. It's not a pretty song with beautiful voice. It's a story.. she just happens to sing it.

Wonderful reaction and analysis. Haven't seen this much passion in a reaction since your 'early Dimash'! (That's a compliment!!) Lara is truly a gifted performer. The entire concert this song is taken from is worthy of further reactions!! Thanks so much for your time!
Thank you so much, Cedric for showcasing the incredible Lara Fabian. I adore your Dimash reactions and the perspective you bring as an actor/ singer/ filmmaker. You can't go wrong with any of Lara's songs, and I'm sure Eric will provide some guidance. ❤
You being an actor reacting to this is fantastic, she will blow your mind, watch for her breaths, heartbreaking! 💜
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, Aretha, Shirley Bassey, 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 10,000+ 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 and grand mother on father side is dutch, but she also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( the father of her mother is from Detroit). She had been raised in Sicilia first for 7 years 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 only moved away from opera to pop because she is first and foremost a songwriter.
After her Eurovision participation in 1988 (4th), she really 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 moved to Sicilia end of 2022.
She became very famous in Quebec in the early 90s with several double platine records 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 was 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 (singers from every region in the world: from China and Taiwan, to Philippines, Indonesia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Netherlands, Greece, Israel, Lebanon, Italy, France, Belgium, Norway, UK, USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Central Africa, …)

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 2022 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 just completed another popular tour in eastern europe (Czech Republic, Moldavia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkiye, Hungary) and in Canada in april-june 2024. She also appeared as a guest in some big events such as Hauser’s concert in Royal Albert Hall (May 9th 2024). Then, after some rest and a few TV Shows, she will tour France in 2025.
The first song of her new album (titled "Ta Peine" - Your Sorrow) was released late January 2024 and is a success in France. Her album is expected to be released in fall 2024.
Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
Nice detail Eric! Been listening to Lara for 30 years and she still dominates my playlist by a lot. She is, in fact, what I listen to before nodding off at night…pretty much every night. I am going on a river cruise next year to Burgundy & Provence and was trying to catch her concert in Dijon but can not coordinate transportation from Lyon to Dijon on that date. C’est dommage.
It’s so nice to see someone that can value and understand what they’re watching. Loved this reaction so very much, you definitely added a lot to it. 🙏🏻
What a wonderful reaction to a beautifully heartbreaking song. I love hearing what you have to say as an actor as well because I love seeing and hearing performers live in the song and in that moment and it’s great to see others have that appreciation too!
“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
Truly wonderful reaction. Your own musical and dramatic knowledge lead you to recognize the multiple layers in Lara's exceptional performance.
Please give us some more Lara reactions.
The Best analysis ever, congratulations. Parabéns pela mais precisa e completa análise. Assisti a dezenas sobre esta performance da extraordinária Lara Fabian.
Your reaction is one of the best I have watched. Thanks.
So happy to see you doing a review of one of Lara's songs. Loved your review, and hope you will do more of Lara. Always do reviews of her live performances. I believe Eric Sicard gave you the links below. As Lara sings in many languages, some videos have translations. It is nice for us to see those. I am convinced you will enjoy this journey. 😊
Oh my, thank you Cedric! I can't tell you how many times I have watched this performance by Lara Fabian. It is mesmerizing and devastating and amazing. She totally immerses herself into the character of the song. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lara, the Fabulous! She’s simply amazing! 👸🏼
Lara one of the greatest singers ever and my nr one of female singers. I cant take my eyes and ears from this wonderful artist. She is also the nicest human you can think of. Human caring artist loved by millions. Great reaction. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.
So great to see an actor react to a Lara performance (this song in particular). And you did not disappoint. Thank you.
I've been listening to this song for a couple of years after discovering her myself (through Dimash too) and I still get goosebumps EVERY TIME! It's an amazing performance. It's a piece of exquisite theater. I can see her influence in Dimash. Break a leg and have a great time with your new show.
You can absolutely see the influence - and what an influence to have! Thank you so much!!
You should check this other version of hers, even more theatrical
th-cam.com/video/SyILdRAOS88/w-d-xo.html
And even 24 years later she still owns this song completely :
- concert in Montreal last June: th-cam.com/video/NfiW3dZ92dg/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
- french tv show just before the opening olympics ceremony, in duet with Slimane, chart leading star in France: th-cam.com/video/SyILdRAOS88/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant reaction and one of the best to such an incredible performance! My favourite female singer. I highly recommended that you react to the following songs. Adagio, You're not from here, Broken Vow, Caruso and Perdere l'amore. They are really amazing like all her songs are.
Very much looking forward to your next reaction!
Greetings from London 😀
great reaction you are good love lara x
Thank you for making the effort to discover the artist Lara Fabian. She is not very well known in the United States for various reasons despite her immense talent. The rest of the world knows her and she is simply my favorite singer because her singing and her voice transport me. Magnificent reaction, you are talented. Friendship from France.
Fantastic review because you’ve married together the singing with the portrayal.
Thank you kindly!!!
One of the best reactions to this song I've seen. You should check out her live performance of Barbra Streislands A piece of Sky and Papa can you hear me, its outstanding
Dimash has been a fan of Lara since his childhood .. thats how I found my way to her ❤ .. She's one of the best storytellers out there ❤
Greatings from an old Danish Dear and Angel 🌷🇩🇰❤️
Omg omg omg !!! I can’t wait to watch it. I love her and this song (sung by her or Serge Lama …)
Merci Cedric, j'aime beaucoup tes réactions car elles sont toujours très intéressantes et je trouve tes commentaires toujours appropriés et justes. Je suis de Montréal Québec, et j'aime Lara Fabian depuis très longtemps déjà. Elle est extraordinaire! Pas surpris d'ailleur qu'elle soit une des idoles de Dimash !
I'm no actor, but I took a few classes here and there, and you knew it was real and good when you were in a scene and it was moment to moment another reality you stepped into accepted totally and glided back out of, where you could look back at it and all there was to say was wow, we NAILED that. And having seen Lara live this summer for the first time, twenty-odd years after these videos were made, she is still making that voice live the moment in astounding ways. If you EVER get the chance to see her live, do whatever you have to do, spend whatever time and money you need to, and go. Don't think twice, just do it. It's an experience of a lifetime.
We can hear her , crying in that last note . Thank you for your great reaction and welcome to the kingdom of our Queen madam Lara Fabian
Lara is The Queen of Resonance and vowel coordination. She is The Ring. The perfect singer.
What impresses me the most in this performance is the sick smile on his face when she say “Je Suis Malade”. He reflects an incredible detail on his face in an incredibly successful way.
So I live in Montreal. Lara's from Belgium but she blew up here a bit after Celine in the late 80s and we really made fun of her a lot here, the media was borderline cruel with her because she was so over-the-top dramatic, she'd cry in interviews and things like that, it was a lot lol. Clearly incredible voice but poor girl left her heart exposed in life as well as in her art probably a bit too much! People love her to bits though, she lives here full-time now and anything that comes out of her mouth is adored and studied.
Not sure if you're looking for suggestions but I would give you a double bill, bear with me while I explain - Celine's manager & husband René, his intended Celine earlier in the 70s was a woman named Ginette Reno but as they were about to take the really big steps she decided world fame wasn't for her, she was happy with QC fame so she backed away. Celine's mom had René in her sights because she knew he'd been Ginette's manager, she brought him a tape of Celine singing and he went for it, the rest is history.
My suggestion is - Ginette had a song that makes all of QC cry, written by one of our pillars who actually passed away recently, Jean-Pierre Ferland, called C'est beau. It means "It's Beautiful" and it became an anthem for francophone Quebeckers who wanted to separate from Canada. In 2008 it was the 400th anniversary of the founding of the city of Quebec, there was an insane series of concerts put on and Celine was one. SHE BROUGHT OUT Jean-Pierre and started singing C'est beau, then in the second verse Ginette appeared and it was just an explosion of love and tears everywhere, people were drowning lol.
I'd suggest watching Ginette's performance in 75, and then the 2008 performance with both of them. QC's two muses singing together, it's an overwhelming one! I won't put the links in case your comment settings block them but search for:
Ginette Reno - Un peu plus haut, un peu plus loin (1975)
Céline Dion & Ginette Reno - Un peu plus haut, Un peu plus loin (2008)
💜
There's a reason that Lara was Dimash's idol while he was growing up. They have so much in common, from being multi-lingual, to being wonderful storytellers, to the emotion that they can evoke in the listener, and even their humility on and away from the stage. No wonder he covered so many of her songs and did several duets with her!
Love Lara ❤
Love from Denmark ❤
If you want to see her acting skills again but with songs exposing better her vocal range:
Yentl medley (english): th-cam.com/video/zW8lalHMwxk/w-d-xo.html
Requiem pour un fou (french, with english subtitles) in duet with french rocker legend Johnny Hallyday: th-cam.com/video/zR1rkt_0biA/w-d-xo.html
Calling You (english): th-cam.com/video/KkfXEb_VyLM/w-d-xo.html
Oh and by the way Lara did perform in some movies (small roles but with Kevin Kline, Ashley Judd, …)
I really suggest you watch her performance of "Je t'aime", just to see how her audience reacts to her and show their love for her.
Aloha Cedric! As usual, you are the perfect one to react to Lara, as she personifies and feeds off of the songs she sings. All her songs are just masterpieces!
Lara as a vocal coach to a contestant asking how to sing deep emotions without impacting the voice:
« sing the emotions in your head, feel the emotions in your heart but keep your throat free ».
Apparently, this is easy for her 😂
The stage is her playground. What she does is breathtaking for us, breathtakingly easy for her.
Cette chanson est une merveilleuse reprise d'une chanson écrite dans les années 70 par Serge Lama, un chanteur français, et ça raconte son histoire. Lara Fabian a fait cette chanson sienne et quand elle dit "tu m'as privée de tous mes chants, tu m'as vidée de tous mes mots, pourtant je crois que j'avais du talent" et plus loin elle dit qu'elle crêvera seule, près de sa radio, en écoutant sa chanson, sa propre voix... c'est une chanteuse amoureuse, une artiste blessée, que cet amour tue jusqu'à son art... à la manière des artistes romantiques du 19e siecle, poètes maudits...
This performance is magnificent. Dimash is a big fan. She wrote a song for Dimash plus she worked with Igor Krutoy in the past. Dimash, Aida G. And Lara performed together in a fantastic trio.
Je suis Lara Fabian depuis plus de 20 ans, elle est ma chanteuse préférée. Pour ma part, c'est une des plus belles voix au monde. En plus, une des rares qui VIT vraiment ce qu'elle chante, avec ses tripes, son coeur. C'est une chanteuse exceptionnelle, en plus d'être une belle personne sur tous les aspects. 🙂
❤👍
As someone who has a passion for theatre, you will definitely appreciate Lara’s talents (gifts) by watching the entire En Toute Intimite concert. The best link is from the “Lara the ring Fabian” channel where Gabby has done a wonderful job providing translated close captioning. This is an experience you will treasure…guaranteed.
Great reaction ❤
I knew you were gonna love this one, Cedric! I have watched this umpteen times, and her performance still breaks my heart, un peu. You can see what Dimash loved about her. This whole concert from Montreal is flamazing!! Her voice was totally on point. Her singing CARUSO is also another performance for the ages. Break legs in your show!! Thanks for this ❤
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane!

And by the way do you know that "SOS d’un terrien en detresse" is a song from one of the most famous french musical titled Starmania?
One of the last songs where the main character is bending over the body of his girlfriend who just has been killed.
The musical is packed with masterpieces that have been covered by Lara or other greats such as Celine, Cindy Lauper, …
Cedric, I don't where to start? You are so convincing and truthful and talented, you are amazing. I have seen Lara do this performance many, many times watching different reactors literally go into shock and many of them start to cry. Can we, for just a moment, put ourselves into that live audience? When the 16 second finale was over the audience stood AS ONE to offer their thank you and congratulations to a performer who was magnificent in every way.
Cedric, now it must be very clear to you why Dimash was enamored with Lara and the style of her singing which carries so much emotion with it. Being classically trained since he was a little boy Dimash felt he was 'missing something' in his performances and he immediately recognized it was exactly what Lara could do so well, to bring genuine emotion into whatever she sings. They became friends and are still very close friends to this day. One fun video that is nice to see (it's on you tube) is to see Lara pick up the phone (yes, a land phone) at home, and call Dimash to wish him a "Happy Birthday". Lara's husband was in the background drying dishes or something and it's the most beautifully sung "Happy Birthday" I have ever heard.
Cedric, how do you find time to do all that you do? As they say on the street, "You are a piece of work!" (Of course I know the answer to my question. You love what you do and why would you ever want to slow down? 🙂)

The wonderful Lara Fabian, love her voice , her performance ❤️
You are a lucky guy, listening Lara for the first time, it’s discovering one of the most beautiful vocalist in the world
I also watched Lara sing this performance as my introduction to her work. I was blown away. I’m convinced she took every heartbreak she ever experienced and poured them into this song. I never heard of her before my Dimash journey, and don’t routinely listen to her work now, but I will forever be in awe of her extreme talent. Thanks so much for doing this. Hearing your take on her performance was the finishing touch.
♥️☮️🎶
Lara's songs are rich and varied 15 records over 140 songs
don't be content with her early live performances from the 2000s

Lara Fabian is a true artist, author, composer and performer.
a sunny woman who catches you like a moth in the light.
lara
the best of humanity...
This all concert of Lara has some really crazy performances, you should check "Adagio", "You're not from here" , "broken vows", "Caruso" and "" perdere el amore " wich are in italian. She's one of the best vocalist in the world. You will be blown away 😉💜
Wonderful reaction!!! Very insightful comments and analysis! Lara is amazing!!
Thanks so much! Lara is truly incredible! 🙏🏼
19 seconds by my count. The Queen of Speech Singing, American Icon Dolly Parton mastered the craft. Lara has covered 1 song & picked one of the library of songs (4,000+ in the 1970’s). Elvis Presley, Lionel Richie, Kenny Rogers, the group Heart, Whitney Houston, and many other artist that pick through her library of songs that she gifted to young artist. Vastly different singer’s with different styles. Both are song writer’s , Lara has a composer Igor that she works exclusively with now. ❤️✌🏼
For my money, this is the single greatest performance/interpretation of a song on stage that I’ve ever seen. That being said, as an actor, I think you would also greatly appreciate Lara’s performance of “Comme Ila Disent.” It is right up there with this performance, although perhaps a little more “staged.” th-cam.com/video/1vrbHxIbK10/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aZfQ8RFQHC-RA221
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que! Gracias!
Amazing reaction, as always...I have so, so love it....along with Dimash she is one of my favorite singers!!!
Congrats on your play👍
Very nice reaction to this outstanding performance.
Oh, and Lara can hold a note longer than that😍
Lara’s parents recognized her talent early on and enrolled her in the Royal Conservatory of Brussels when she was eight years old; she studied there for 10 years.
I highly recommend
Johnny Hallyday and Lara Fabian with
“Requiem pour on fou”, so amazing😍😍
th-cam.com/video/zR1rkt_0biA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AX_NK9xmB380ASM7
Now, you have to react to Lara's Broken Vow in concert.
Note: Dimash learned from Lara, by watching her on tv and TH-cam since he was a kid, he said this himself. When the first met in person, he almost cried. He said that she is his idol and one of his greatest inspiration to become who he is currently.
She was trained to be an Opera Singer for 10 years (from her 8 to 18 years) at The Royal Conservatory from Belgium, she also plays piano and guitar, she composed 90% of her repertoire in 4 languages as well. She hasn't stopped to have vocal classes since her 8 years old, she keeps having vocal lessons 3 times per week and she practices her voice at least 2 hours everyday, she proudly speakers about this in many interviews. She decided to compose and performe Pop songs instead of classical one's. She's fluently in 4 languages and has already sang in 12 languages perfectly. She is a master in terms of breathing control and support, resonance, vowels pronunciation and emotion delivering / acting while performing. Thank you for this reaction. ❤ Hugs from Brazil.
Ps: Lara's is currently on tour and also being a vocal coach at the The Voice Kids in France. She has been working as vocal coach at the The Voice (both adult and kids) in France and Canada for many many years now. She is know as THE RING in France and Canada.
abosultely each song of this live show was amazing. You can check any of them and be blown away each time.
Amazing performance from Lara .... and very rich comments from you, just brilliant.
Thanks for doing this one! I love Lara, always have, and she embodies every emotion in every song she sings. I hope you delve deeper, she's amazing.
If you keep watching Lara, you will notice some mannerisms/styles that look or sound familiar. Dimash definitely looked up to Lara.
One a the most captivating reaction to this cover by Lara. Thanks for sharing
Lara is an angel ❤ Thank you Cedric ❤
Wow! First off, thank you for this amazing reaction!! 💜 This performance from Lara is the best ever! 🥰 I watch every video of people reacting to it. You're the first person out of 100's that describes it exactly how I felt the first time I saw it. Being a fan of Lara for over 30 years, her voice is just unmatched!! Again, thank you! It felt like reliving my very own first time reaction! 🙏
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the kind words. 🙏
I truly like the genuine expression from your reaction. I enjoyed it. Thank you
Hey buddy!!
First time I've witnessed this artist..
I don't cry easily..I shed a tear from her!!
Literally I was blown away!!
Liked your reaction!!
TY Cedric - hearing a performers POV was great. you got more excited as you started to realize Lara is doing 14 things at once all intentional. She is the best live performer of the last 30 years...she is the Queen, long may she reign.
pure art
You are an outstanding reactor my dear. I Liked and described. You deserve more followers. I'm not talking about Lara, she's out if the question ❤
I react this way the everytime with Lara. I am glad you have discovered here
Wow ! Wow ! Wow ! What a reaction ! The mix between your musical expertise and your own subjectivity/sensivity is incredibly enligthenig and, I must say, quite moving. By far the best review of this emotional tsunami of a song. Try "Adagio" : she sung it during the same live concert, it gives a new meaning to the word "epic".
Lara fabian the best the queen❤❤❤❤
🇨🇦 That performance ( and it is truely that ) is only about 1/3 of the weapons in her arsenal !
If you want a complete picture of Lara, you should take the time to read completely, the half dozen comments from Eric Sicard, our resident expert !
Since you like Dimash, you will probably have heard him sing "Adagio" which was co-written by Lara, and my suggestion would be for you to react to Lara singing it from her live concert, "From Lara with Love" ! 🇨🇦
Thank's for your react about our Queen Lara ❤❤❤
A vocal and emotional genius.
Magnificent reaction for a magnificent performance...!
En fin !
Merci Cedric.
Lara to me is the same enjoyment as listening to our Dimash.
both sing straight into our souls.
For those of us that have known of her for years, it's such a buzz when watching a new 'review' video by vocal coaches. We already know by the end of the video how blown away the coach is going to be ahead of time. Also she is the only one that I know that has created so many reviews by vocal coaches due to the heavy requests they get. I find myself now seeking out the dozens and dozens of these review videos just for the fun of watching their jaws drop in awe, or when they so often actually break down in tears - happens all the time. She would be dynamite in musical theatre, bet you'd kill for her to be in Anastasia? What other artist has that effect ? Imagine how difficult it would be to WRITE and sing great songs/lyrics in a foreign language as she does (e.g. in flawless English etc). Try listening/reviewing her 'Adagio' or 'Broken Vow' or 'Caruso' - unbeatable.
The ebb and flow of the song is actually also an indication of the feelings it portrays - when you are in a bad situation, when you are sick, you get bursts of energy, of anger, when you want to DO something, but your energy is so low that those moments don't last long and you drop back into exhaustion/complacency.
Sans doute la meilleure compréhension et les meilleurs commentaires que j'ai pu entendre au sujet de cette œuvre magistrale. Merci.
This is my favorite song of Lara Fabian. It's also my favorite song for Forestella. If you haven't watched them do this song, please do. I've seen plenty of people singing the song that don't compare to Lara or Forestella but it's perfect for these performers. Lara has an amazing voice and her expressions pull you into whatever she sings.
please react to her performance of Comme Ils Disent! Brilliant epic acting in that performance
Translation of Voilá:
Listen to me
Me, the wannabe singer
Talk about me
To your love ones , to your friends
Tell them about the girl with the dark eyes and crazy dreams
Me, what I want is to write stories that will reach you
That’s all
There you go, there you go, there you go
here is who I am
Here I am even if stripped bare, I’m afraid, yes
Here I am in the noise
And in the silence
Look at me
Or at least what’s left of it
Look at me
Before I hate myself
What can I say to you, that the lips of another won’t tell you
It’s not much, but all I have
I put it there. That's it
There you go, there you go, there you go
here is who I am
Here I am even if stripping it's over
It’s my face, it’s my cry
Here I am, too bad
There you go, there you go, there you go
It’s right here
Me, my dream, my desire
How I die, how I laugh
Here I am in the noise
And in the silence
Do not go
I beg you to stay for a long time
It might not save me, no
But to do without you, I don’t know how
Love me like you love a friend
Who goes away forever
I want to be loved, because I don’t know how to love the shape of me.
There you go, there you go, there you go
here is who I am
Here I am even if laying bare I understood
Here I am in the noise
And in fury too
finally look at me
And my eyes and my hands
Everything I have is here
It’s my face, it’s my cry
Here I am, here I am, here I am
Broken Vow and Adagio from the same concert are a must.
Awesome reaction!
Fantastic analysis. thks for pinpointing the nuances and innuendos in her acting technique and stage presence.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You found her thru Dimash.
Here he is telling Lara he is a fan since he is a child :
th-cam.com/users/shortsrG6NjcAVAsM?feature=share
i dont speak english as much as i would like, sorry. But i love the way you react, you don't just listen but you feel and explain, the way it's supposed to be. And shout out to Lara, she's such a crazy singer, but so humble at the same time.... one of my favorite.
Lara siete las canciones, las vive , ❤❤❤
AND you haven't even watched her singing the last chorus of this song without a mic, when the band/orchestra start silent and she starts put the mic totally away from her mouth (almost 3 feet/ 1 meter) and starts acapella "Je suits Malade, completment Malade..." Which she uses to do very often in HUGES places just to deliver more emotion and show case her vocal resonance tho. The audience goes CRAZY everytime she does this.
Lara❤
Gracias.❤.
We are all so impressed and begging for more. When is the next 10 to fill out your RING playlist?
Lara’s own song Broken Vow should be your next reaction and then Caruso after that! Both incredible, from the same concert ‘From Lara with Love’ of the performance you just watched. Every song from that concert is just amazing! Lara is fantastic!
The thing is, she is very much in the tradition of French Chanson in that song. Like Brel, Aznavour things like that. It's a story that she is telling. She is living it and acting it. But she has such amazing range and an insane voice. She reigns it to act a story. It's not a song, even. It's not a pretty song with beautiful voice. It's a story.. she just happens to sing it.
It's not a single.. it's a chanson.
You must see her Caruso performance.. You will completely fall in love with her ❤
