Hello Elisabeth, any chance to see you reacting to more Lara Fabian? Adagio, Perdere l'amore, Broken vow, You are not from here, Quedate, I am A-WA... All from the Lara with love concert except the last one with music video based on live studio recording. Very much looking forward to... Ciao.
I live in the province of Quebec and we 've known her since her very beginning early 90'S. She now lives in Montreal, she is half Belgium and half Italian, she was born in Belgium. Now she has her Canadian nationality.. Not only is she is an absolutely unique singer but she is sooooooooo friendly , humble... and sweet. we love her since the beginning
@@zoelima3030 I didn’t know she had a daughter, I’ve been amazed by her voice, presence and confidence since her English breakthrough and seen all her live older performances on here.
Lara Fabian is the greatest singer of her generation maybe of all time. This recording was at the height of her power. Everything she did at this time was perfection. She is underrated and surprisingly unknown by so many. I’m happy you have experienced her.
The first time I had ever even seen Lara Fabian was when my wife and I were flipping channels and stopped on PBS to see what this David Foster Hitman thing was. She came out and sang "Caruso". We were frozen solid for the whole performance, jaws hanging open. When it ended, we just looked at each other absolutely stunned. We rewatched it 3 more times before calling the kids in and forcing them to watch it.
The writer of this song, Lucio Dalla (from Bologna, northern Italy), wrote this in 1986 while staying in one of the rooms where Enrico Caruso, former famous tenor (From Neaples, southern Italy), spent the final days of his life. Caruso was 48-years-old when he died, and a few years before Caruso died, he married Dorothy Park Benjamin who was 20 years younger. They had a baby girl they named Gloria. Lucio Dalla wrote this song while imagining how Caruso, who knew he was dying, would have said goodbye to his young wife - the love of his life. curiosity: in sicilian dialect the word caruso means (ragazzo)=boy.
I would like to stand up, as much as Lara’s art, your face Elizabeth; the expression of your feelings, your eyes, your glance… Beautifull! And thank you, Elizabeth❗️
Lara Fabian is the queen of story telling. I constantly have to remind myself to breathe every time I hear her singing, not a single exception. So dramatic, so intimate, and so fragile...😭
@@leozama1not everything need to be a rivalry, a competition. Just fn enjoy the eargasms we feel when we listen each of them. Listening them for free is the best you can get and you still need to put multi paragraph effort to bash Lara just to put your useless fanatical fandom? Dimash doesn't need you to compare him to the other singers. Every singer, every vocal coach knew Dimash is lonely up there on his throne.
@@leozama1 well.. first of all, Lara isn't compete in any competition with Dimash. Lara is an established legend. She need no competition. Meanwhile Dimash is a legend in a making. He's not there yet. Vocal prowess yes, but legendary status, he still has decades long way to reach that status. Lara is already a legend before internet. Where Dimash will be without internet? his journey is way more easier, get the best vocal coach, knowledge, absolutely everything he got to reach where he is now is better than Lara's ever had).
Only discovered this Lara Fabian 2 months ago. She is stunning. That voice, beauty, emotion, music, intelligence. I am totally captivated and mesmerised. I am now lost in my own Je Sui Malade. Is she an angel? I am completely spellbound. What kind of magic is this?
She just rips your heart out, doesn't she? She makes me feel *more* , like putting my hand in a glass bowl and it's just magnified. But then she'll highlight colours I'm only vaguely aware of and show me how important they are, too. She has absolute mastery of her art form and uses it to pull people *into* her realm to show them the beauty that is there as opposed to standing on a pedistal and showing that mastery off.
There’s no one like Lara. Her talent is beyond anyone else. She’s in a class of her own. I would love to hear any modern singer today perform this song live like Lara did here. They’ll die from a stroke!
Her rendition of Caruso is, by far, the best I have ever heard, and I've heard quite a few. It's so emotional and it completely blew my mind the first time I heard it. Enrico Caruso would have fallen in love on the spot. 🥰
How Fabian pulls off the exquisite feat of seeming to crumble while maintaining supreme control is practically the definition of art. This is a peerless artist at her peak and her mastery is total. Now add in the awesome beauty of the sounds she produces.
She's amazing, incredible, mesmerizing... I don't know what is wrong with me, but when I listen to some of her songs, especially at live performances, it always causes tears to roll down my cheeks. I'm a man, and I'm 45 though... :) This song is definitely in Top 5 of all times for me. Igor Krutoy was so damned right when he said a few years ago that Lara was the only singer in the world who could sing about love properly. I'm so happy and proud of having had a chance to attend one of her concerts and even talked to her after it. It was a very brief dialogue, we spoke in English mostly, but also in Italian and even in Russian... I simply fell in love with her. I mean how can a man not fall in love with such an amazing woman?
I dont think Lara is known enough around the world. She, for me is the best female artists in the world. No matter what language she sings, she make you feel the songs and she just mastered that art so well. I got the chance to see her live ounce in Montreal and i sometimes even feel that we in Quebec dont realise her level of talent enough.
Hello Elizabeth! Great reaction and great analysis. Yes, Lara is fluent in Italian because Italian is one of her native languages from her mother's side who is Sicilian, the other is French from her father's side who is Belgian. Lara lived in Italy until she was 5 years old, then her dad moved the family back to Belgium. Caruso is a song that usually male opera tenor legends like Pavarotti, Domingo, Carreras, Kaufman and Bocelli has in their repertoire because it takes a masterful, powerful voice to deliver it to perfection. I'm Lara's age and I haven't come across any other female singer yet who came even close to perform it like Lara did. She gave an absolute masterclass on how to perform such an emotionally charged song without losing the ability to carry out every single note. I think it is truly one her unique talents. I've been following her career over 25 years now and I've seen her live on stage a handful of times. It's absolutely remarkable that Lara's voice is near studio quality when you hear her live. Few people asked me if her voice is really this good or it's just a studio editing for the tape. I can honestly say that her voice is like this in real life. Yes, every live tape is edited for mass production to clear up background noise and enhance certain parts of the music, but it's true with every artist no matter if you are just a newcomer or world class singer like Bocelli. So, yes, Lara is this good and then some!
I must have listened to this performance by Lara dozens of times over the years and every time, without fail...damn those onions! What a performer and what a voice. I don't think Dimash could have chosen a better role model.
She is multilingual. She speaks Italian, French, Spanish, Sicilian, English and some Flemish.She has also sung in Azerbaijani, German, Greek, Hebrew, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, and Turkish.
She killed it and I love that you pointed out phrasing that's what I love the most in this performance. Natural progression would be "Adagio" next, but I suggest "Broken vow" first and "Perdere l'amore"
Those shivering breaths in between the words, I feel like my soul being torn into pieces. She is so talented and perfectly in control of her voice looks expressions... just PERFECT. Caruso could never have been sung better. I know this is an iconic and legendary song, yet Lara Fabian just burned the lyrics and the melody down to ashes and out of that made herself wings of sorrow torture and suffering of love.
@@PierreRanger-QC En faisant des recherches biographiques, j'ai appris qu'elle est devenue Québecoise, par choix, tout comme l'ont fait Serge Fiori, Michel Pagliaro, Pierre Curzi.

Lara singing Caruso is as close to perfection as your likely to experience in your life! Exceptional performance, every note is captivating and conveys deep, deep emotion.
I never forget a voice that touches me. I remember Lara Fabian's voice from a credits score that was included in a movie I watched a looong time ago, I believe it was the first final fantasy animated film, the track was called "The Dream Within". Such an incredible voice, it was like the music accompaniment didn't even need to be there. The way the song ebbed and flowed was just perfect. Big thumbs up for Fabian from a primarily metal-listening subscriber!!
@@TheCharismaticVoice I highly recommend reacting to it. Not many people are likely to suggest it, but it's a stunning piece of music. The Final Fantasy series is renowned for its score; Nobuo Uematsu is one of the best composers I can think of and Squaresoft never cut corners on their musical themes. 'The Dream Within' was my introduction to Lara Fabian. I have spent the last two decades simply adoring the woman and her magnificent talent because of it.
Please react to her “ broken vow”. She composed the song and sings it with the deep emotions. To me, that is my most fav song of hers. It is so timeless
One of my favourites too. She co-wrote "Broken Vow" with Walter Afansieff, who has co-written a new song that Dimash is working on, "Love is Not Over Yet". Lara and Dimash are composer Igor Krutoy's two favourite artists to write for, and now Afansieff has singled them out too. I will always be grateful that Lara was such a major influence on Dimash's development. The pair of them are the only singers who have ever moved me to tears without understanding the language they're singing. Lara is a vocal goddess.
If you watch and listen carefully you can see and feel her going through 5 stages of grief. And in the end acceptance is so bittersweet it makes me cry. Broken vow is amazing
She is absolutely ridiculous. Technique, tone, emotion, diction, pretty much everything is world class. And she is amazingly smart and beautiful to boot! A real gem in all facets.
The reason why she’s so good at keeping notes without falling apart is because she said in an interview that she lives philosophically with the way of the catharsis, she believe that the way to deliver ourselves from pain is to live it and face it without fear and just taking it, it’s the reason why she stay stronger no matter what emotions she have to deal in a song!
It's also one of the approaches in a trauma/ptsd therapy. But i would like to add that it does not make you stronger but it's just suppose to help you to continue living.
Thank you for reacting an Italian song, Lara is amazing, she has an incredible voice and interpretation of the song but even because the man that write and sang this song is Lucio Dalla and here in Italy he is a legend.
Dear Elizabeth, when that feeling Lara emotes more than a feeling, but brings you to become her and the song. She impersonates the person and the expression in one. Love your reaction. Try to see her “je t’aime” at the Olympia in Paris 😍 🌹❤️, Chris
@@shuriken4852 i agree with you. It's fun from a fan standpoint, but she barely sings. It's a beautiful moment between her and thousands of people, but I would hate to lose a rare slot of reaction from a vocal coach to it.
Lara Fabian is one of my favourite singers. Some think she's over-the-top. I suppose she is, compared to your average American-styled pop singer. But she's more about the dramatic European music. French chansons, Italian drama... And yes, influences of musical theatre. I guess for you, as for me, she's not over-the-top, she hits that sweet-spot with her amazing skill and expression.
Watching your delight at this performance is an absolute joy. Lara is one of those rare artists who never fails to move me to tears and I would love an analysis of her performance of Je T’aime.
She rocks!!! I don't get, how Lara isn't bigger star in the music world. She wipes Celine Dion under a rug any time of the day. Looking your face, she blew your socks off again. Lara is fabulous. Please react her song Broken vow. Love her music.
I’ve always asked myself why ? I’ve been a big fan since I was 6 and I wanted to sing as her, she tells a story in every song, she gives me chills every time
I had the honor of hearing Lara Fabian live, goosebumps and tears all around. Lara and Celine both are extremely talented vocalists in their own right. Lara herself said in an interview that ‘she hated the fact that the media created a bs feud that neither were part of, Celine was one of her greatest inspiration and admired her greatly.’
I came across a video of Lara performing this song well over a year ago, and I literally wept. And every time I listen to it, i still weep! She truly is a modern bard in her ability to transport her audience into the experience of the music.
well.. as al music and emotion is personal i can imagine why you would choose those songs. Still, personally i think that Lara is bestin French and Italian. The passion, the pain and the hurt she has singing it makes me feel so much more connected than with her English songs. Those are just songs, those are just Celine Dion' ish.. while her French songs are so pure and Lara Fabian only.. Just my two cents. You can feel what you feel and thats how it shoud be ofcourse. Just wanted to add my feelings :)
An infinite thank you for presenting Lara Fabian's incredibly beautiful performance in stage presence by Caruso. She is unique in this interpretation of Caruso in every in and out of her voice and in every movement. Thank you from Sweden..
Thankyou. I adore Lara Fabian. In many ways she reminds me of American Linda Eder. Her tone, breathing technique. Please play more of Lara she is my Number 1 favourite female singer. I never thought i would love another female vocalist as much as Linda Eder but, now. Wow. Thankyou
My son 15 had this played at my Uncles funeral.. She is his favourite singer. Un Ave Maria his favourite song. We think she's the greatest singer on the planet.
Your facial and sounds of wonderful says everything about this amazing singer. Great reaction. Lara Fabian, IMO the best female singer performing today.
Italian is her mother tongue - mom is from Sicily; dad is from Belgium. She's fluent in Italian, French, Spanish and English but has sung in many other languages, as well. You can see so much of Dimash's dynamic control and usage comes from her even including the sharp in-breathing during soft, emotional passages.
I love her sooooooooo much! Her tone, use of vocal fry, the switching between “Singing” and the more “spoken” lines are ALL stunning but the thing that always breaks me the most is how she even weaponizes her BREATHS! You KNOW she knows how to breathe silently but she still makes sure you HEAR that breath... those gasps... to make you even feel the desperation in those “silent” moments! I’d LOVE to hear you react to her performance of Comme Ils Dissent... the song itself is beautiful (it’s written by Charles Aznivore about being a gay man... and even more, a Drag Queen, in the world) but the way she embodies and performs is just breathtaking...
Je Suis Malade and Caruso are probably the two best examples of how Lara weaponizes her breathing to creat gasps, sobs and other little emotional markers; and yes, none does it better than her. Please react to Adagio next and Broken Vow (both from the same concert, from Lara with love); no subtitles needed for those two as they are English.
Elisabeth, this analysis was stunning. Beautiful. 😍 I cried the whole time. Lara Fabian has the most intense voice I have ever heard. But Elizabeth, you MUST do an analysis on my all time favorite singer Freddie Mercury. There's no-one like him, and there'll never be.
thanks for telling us why she´s technically good. well, we non-singer can hear that this is an exeptional performance, but your way of reacting to this makes it very clear what the heck is going on while singing… To put it in your words : ahh, ooohh,ahm,wow, sheee sheee, hhhh, hoch, I loved loved when..., ahm, hoch, aaah, wow, i loved the way she.. ohh, hhhh, lets keep going. :-)
It was a wonderful interpretation ❤️ because Lara Fabian demonstrated a crazy technique and voice control!!!! And it was also very nice to see your reaction and your well detailed professional opinion!!!! Congratulations 👍
I’m Canadian and am proud of how masterfully Lara performs this beautiful song. Another version to note is done by Pavarotti and Lucio Dalla (who wrote the song Caruso). They are amazing together. It also helps to understand what’s going on in the song by reading the translated lyrics. Please consider reviewing this piece.
I absolutely LOVE the way you understand Lara Fabian performance, her talent, her artistry. Your appreciation of her is appreciated. You are on of three favorites I go to , regularly. Thank you so much. 🥰👏👏👏👏👌
I discovered Lara many years ago when I was looking up Pavarottis performance of Caruso. I had always loved that. But when I found Lara’s performance I was moved to tears. It’s astounding.
This is wonderful! Indeed Lara does this song exquisitely! I hope you will also manage to react to her song Broken Vow, and others like You're not from here, Tomorrow is a lie, Je t'aime, to name a few. Thank you Elizabeth. Stay safe.
Lara Fabian has one of the most Beautiful voices on the Planet. If you had to list the 10 Best Female singers in the World she would be on the list without a doubt.
She deserves more recognition, because her talent is truly an the vocals skills are always on point. She can sing in many languages: Italian, French, English and Portuguese, passing the same emotion and high quality vocals in each one. Lara is a unique artist.👏🏻
I first heard Lara in the Dream Within song from the first Final Fantasy movie. Scrubbed back to listen to the song again. Went out and bought all of the CD's she had out back then the very next day. She is absolutely amazing.
She not only speaks French, Italian, English and Spanish fluently, she writes songs in all of them. She even refers to herself something like "a songwriter who sings." She also understands several more and sings very very competently (according to native speakers) in a total of 12. Perhaps you can react to some of her originals: Broken Vow (Josh Groban covered, Barbra Streisand made arrangements to cover it), Adagio (that Dimash covered in a very different interpretation) or - the one I'm desperate to understand better from a craft standpoint - You're Not From Here. That last one is exstremely difficult but she keeps it sounding gentle and seems easy peasy. All three are in English, favorite versions from live From Lara With Love concert. Or, if you want to see the Rock Star!! side of her: she teamed up with Francophone superstar Johnny Hallyday on his signature Requiem Pour un fou. He split the song into two voices just for her. She goes just as deep with the emotions -they're just very different emotions than the ones from her ballads. 😃 The performance is amazing with a full orchestra and large chorale. Sarah Vaughan and Lara Fabian are the only two singers that stop me in my tracks and stun me every single time. I can't believe, at my age, I've become a superstan of someone. 🤣
She sang "You are not from here" only two times. There is a reason for it, not an easy song. My brother loves it and sings it (he's got talent 😁) but as my dad would say "I wish him to really fly away"😂😂
@@Love_Lara 😂 It's a fascinating song/performance for me. I didn't fully appreciate the song when I first heard it on the heels of Adagio and Je suis malade, but then I listened more and analyzed it. It is SO incredibly difficult, the choices she makes, and how simple, simple, easy breezy she keeps it sounding. I really am desperate for a vocal coach to get into the nitty-gritty of what she's doing. 😰😓🤕
@@Love_Lara p.s. Do you have a link to or know the when/where of her other live performance of it? At the end of the one I know (FLWL) she looks up at the audience with an expression of "Nailed it!" which I loved. 😁
We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
Of course she speaks Italian perfectly! It's like if someone said that you speak a perfect English!
Lara's mother is Italian. It makes sense she'd be fluid in Italian.
if its okay to hear the inhale on mic what about when lara does out in mouth breathing on mic?

Hello Elisabeth, any chance to see you reacting to more Lara Fabian? Adagio, Perdere l'amore, Broken vow, You are not from here, Quedate, I am A-WA... All from the Lara with love concert except the last one with music video based on live studio recording. Very much looking forward to... Ciao.
One of my favorite songs, as a child of Italian immigrant parents, performed by one of my absolute favorite singers. Lara is simply the best.
Her father was Belgian.
I live in the province of Quebec and we 've known her since her very beginning early 90'S. She now lives in Montreal, she is half Belgium and half Italian, she was born in Belgium. Now she has her Canadian nationality.. Not only is she is an absolutely unique singer but she is sooooooooo friendly , humble... and sweet. we love her since the beginning
I'm from Quebec too, we love her!
She also used to live in Paris, France, for years, where she had her daughter who is half French.

Yes she’s so stunning. That’s wonderful to hear such high regards.
From USA I prefer rush
The range she has in her voice , gives her the ability to sing any song and I mean any song
Find someone that looks at you the same way Elisabeth looks at Lara Fabian.
I'm trying god damnit!
I'd have a chance if I could sing like Lara lol
It's a little bit scary tho
Yes , but don‘t we all look at Lara like that? I mean how can you not, she‘s incredible.
Don't we all look at her like that? I mean...
But yeah, I'm trying.
Lara Fabian is the greatest singer of her generation maybe of all time. This recording was at the height of her power. Everything she did at this time was perfection. She is underrated and surprisingly unknown by so many. I’m happy you have experienced her.
Agree. Somewhat unknown like my favorite female singer of all time, Eva Cassidy❤
Yes. She was so young. Been following her for over 20 years.

I discovered that song not too l9ng ago. Stunningly beautiful and haunting. There is a great fanvid of it using clips from the movie here on youtube.
I love that you appreciate metal too. :-) Voices like hers are absolutely unforgettable.
@@TheCharismaticVoice I highly recommend reacting to it. Not many people are likely to suggest it, but it's a stunning piece of music. The Final Fantasy series is renowned for its score; Nobuo Uematsu is one of the best composers I can think of and Squaresoft never cut corners on their musical themes. 'The Dream Within' was my introduction to Lara Fabian. I have spent the last two decades simply adoring the woman and her magnificent talent because of it.
"The Dream Within" from Final Fantasy and "For Always" solo version from A.I. (Artifical Intelligence) are masterpieces.
@@sinceritysf solo version of For Always is stunning but the duet version with Josh Groban is just as enchanting, their voices blend so beautifully ♥️
Please react to her “ broken vow”. She composed the song and sings it with the deep emotions. To me, that is my most fav song of hers. It is so timeless
One of my favourites too. She co-wrote "Broken Vow" with Walter Afansieff, who has co-written a new song that Dimash is working on, "Love is Not Over Yet". Lara and Dimash are composer Igor Krutoy's two favourite artists to write for, and now Afansieff has singled them out too. I will always be grateful that Lara was such a major influence on Dimash's development. The pair of them are the only singers who have ever moved me to tears without understanding the language they're singing. Lara is a vocal goddess.
@@Snarky_Tart Yes! Broken Vow is such a tear jerker. Even after having known this song for years on end, it still gets to me every single time.
Thanks for this Kevin Nguyen. Great choice!
If you watch and listen carefully you can see and feel her going through 5 stages of grief. And in the end acceptance is so bittersweet it makes me cry. Broken vow is amazing
She is absolutely ridiculous. Technique, tone, emotion, diction, pretty much everything is world class. And she is amazingly smart and beautiful to boot! A real gem in all facets.
The reason why she’s so good at keeping notes without falling apart is because she said in an interview that she lives philosophically with the way of the catharsis, she believe that the way to deliver ourselves from pain is to live it and face it without fear and just taking it, it’s the reason why she stay stronger no matter what emotions she have to deal in a song!
It's also one of the approaches in a trauma/ptsd therapy. But i would like to add that it does not make you stronger but it's just suppose to help you to continue living.
Lara has such complete control over her vocals everytime she performs! She's flawless !
Thank you for reacting an Italian song, Lara is amazing, she has an incredible voice and interpretation of the song but even because the man that write and sang this song is Lucio Dalla and here in Italy he is a legend.
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard!!♥️
Lara Fabian’s voice is angelic. A once in a generation phenom!
She uses the melodious nature of Italian for the music
Lara is a singer from another world. She has "bel canto" training and it shows... Absolutely fantastic!
I'm so used to Dalla's performance, but damn, she's great! As an italian I'm really happy for this reaction, greetings to everyone^^
She is def the master class of singing!!!!!
Lara Fabián is the best teacher for all singers, beautiful voice with all feelings in every word
Dear Elizabeth, when that feeling Lara emotes more than a feeling, but brings you to become her and the song. She impersonates the person and the expression in one.
Love your reaction.
Try to see her “je t’aime” at the Olympia in Paris 😍
🌹❤️, Chris
If we are talking about the one from 2001, it is a great video to react to in general, but terrible for a vocal coach.
Or may be , an ROCK DUO : th-cam.com/video/PHwIF6jmOCY/w-d-xo.html
@@shuriken4852 i agree with you. It's fun from a fan standpoint, but she barely sings. It's a beautiful moment between her and thousands of people, but I would hate to lose a rare slot of reaction from a vocal coach to it.
@@francoisbasyl1323 Yes! The rock star side of her. With just as much emotion as everything else she does. 🤘
Here is the video of “je t’aime”: th-cam.com/video/IYnFwUbC9A8/w-d-xo.html Will be great to see your emotional reaction
She takes her time and the piano player is following her. Beautiful, amazing.
Her Adagio live from Lara with love is out of this world
Divine voice , amazing human being and a very beautiful woman. It is always good to listen to her.
I sometimes come back to this video just to see you in awe of her performance. It’s so fun to see such genuine appreciation.
God, what a voice! What a magical performance! And what a sincere reaction from you Elizabeth! Thank you.
Lara Fabian is one of my favourite singers. Some think she's over-the-top. I suppose she is, compared to your average American-styled pop singer. But she's more about the dramatic European music. French chansons, Italian drama... And yes, influences of musical theatre. I guess for you, as for me, she's not over-the-top, she hits that sweet-spot with her amazing skill and expression.
I love her expression too - doesn't feel over-the-top to me; just real!
She's over the top if you're an emotional midget, otherwise she just looks into the soul of all of that is human and does so at eye level
She's my favorite singer outside Rock and Metal. She just sings so wonderfully, OMG
She sings this song of extreme love and devastating loss exactly like I'd expect a passionate Italian to sing it.
@@andymath89 some of her beltings and runs hit me like a good metal guitar solo bro I swear...
The most emotional performance i could ever imagine ..Unbelievably wonderful & amazing . The greatest by far .
Watching your delight at this performance is an absolute joy. Lara is one of those rare artists who never fails to move me to tears and I would love an analysis of her performance of Je T’aime.
She rocks!!! I don't get, how Lara isn't bigger star in the music world. She wipes Celine Dion under a rug any time of the day. Looking your face, she blew your socks off again. Lara is fabulous. Please react her song Broken vow. Love her music.
I’ve always asked myself why ? I’ve been a big fan since I was 6 and I wanted to sing as her, she tells a story in every song, she gives me chills every time
I had the honor of hearing Lara Fabian live, goosebumps and tears all around. Lara and Celine both are extremely talented vocalists in their own right. Lara herself said in an interview that ‘she hated the fact that the media created a bs feud that neither were part of, Celine was one of her greatest inspiration and admired her greatly.’
I came across a video of Lara performing this song well over a year ago, and I literally wept.
And every time I listen to it, i still weep!
She truly is a modern bard in her ability to transport her audience into the experience of the music.
Please react to “Broken Vow”, “Adagio” and “You’re Not From Here” from the “From Lara With Love” Concert! ❤️ I love your analyses!
These are very good choices. Thank you for the suggestions, hopefully, we can review them all. Thanks William Filion!
You are not from here please
You're not from here 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
well.. as al music and emotion is personal i can imagine why you would choose those songs. Still, personally i think that Lara is bestin French and Italian. The passion, the pain and the hurt she has singing it makes me feel so much more connected than with her English songs. Those are just songs, those are just Celine Dion' ish.. while her French songs are so pure and Lara Fabian only..
Just my two cents. You can feel what you feel and thats how it shoud be ofcourse. Just wanted to add my feelings :)
@@majadebij I agree
Her Mother was Italian. And she spent years there when she was a child. She is fluent in Italian. Among other languages
An infinite thank you for presenting Lara Fabian's incredibly beautiful performance in stage presence by Caruso. She is unique in this interpretation of Caruso in every in and out of her voice and in every movement. Thank you from Sweden..
Thankyou. I adore Lara Fabian. In many ways she reminds me of American Linda Eder. Her tone, breathing technique.
Please play more of Lara she is my Number 1 favourite female singer. I never thought i would love another female vocalist as much as Linda Eder but, now. Wow. Thankyou
I remember when i first heard this my life changed haha, her voice stops you in your tracks. Unforgettable!!!!!
What a great reaction, That's exactly what, how I felt the first time hearing her. I went to see her in Canada, from Florida USA I am 90 yrs. old.
Questo si chiama "Bel Canto", è nella cultura musicale Italiana. Ci vogliono grandi interpreti e grande passione per queste poesie musicali.
La mamma ė italiana padre Belgio 😊
My son 15 had this played at my Uncles funeral.. She is his favourite singer. Un Ave Maria his favourite song. We think she's the greatest singer on the planet.
I just love this woman's singing. She feels every word of the lyrics. So much color and intensity.
Listening to Lara is truly a love-affair of music - she's just so spectacular. Moves your soul to tears, she does. ❤. Love your reaction and analysis.
Lara is my favorite performer of all Times. Her voice hits me right in The heart every time.Thanks for this reaction.You are wonderful ❤
Your facial and sounds of wonderful says everything about this amazing singer. Great reaction. Lara Fabian, IMO the best female singer performing today.
That very last note.....
I could almost see Caruso taking his last breath on his deathbed, with his hand held in his loved one's.
Italian is her mother tongue - mom is from Sicily; dad is from Belgium. She's fluent in Italian, French, Spanish and English but has sung in many other languages, as well.
You can see so much of Dimash's dynamic control and usage comes from her even including the sharp in-breathing during soft, emotional passages.
I'm from Belgium 😊👌
This is from an older video , but holy macaroni , I like Lara , really great voice😊👌
I know her music, but I thought she was French. Shows how good she is.
@@elizabeths50 , Lara Sophie Katy Crokaert (Etterbeek , 9 januari 1970)
BTW: Etterbeek is one of the 19 municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region
She's half belgian half italian
Lara sings in Russian too. th-cam.com/video/JQwMEcY9EOk/w-d-xo.html. See some of her Russian live concerts with composer pianist Igor Krotoi.
Lara: Sings through emotional parts with ease.
Me: Listens with tears ripping down my face.
I love her sooooooooo much! Her tone, use of vocal fry, the switching between “Singing” and the more “spoken” lines are ALL stunning but the thing that always breaks me the most is how she even weaponizes her BREATHS! You KNOW she knows how to breathe silently but she still makes sure you HEAR that breath... those gasps... to make you even feel the desperation in those “silent” moments! I’d LOVE to hear you react to her performance of Comme Ils Dissent... the song itself is beautiful (it’s written by Charles Aznivore about being a gay man... and even more, a Drag Queen, in the world) but the way she embodies and performs is just breathtaking...
Yes, very good suggestion. An exceptional acting performance from Lara!
Je Suis Malade and Caruso are probably the two best examples of how Lara weaponizes her breathing to creat gasps, sobs and other little emotional markers; and yes, none does it better than her.
Please react to Adagio next and Broken Vow (both from the same concert, from Lara with love); no subtitles needed for those two as they are English.
Je T’aime too;) And many other her songs/performances/stories.
Lara est ma chanteuse préférée, elle sera dans mon cœur jusqu’à ma mort...Lara, i love you forever.
Lara Fabian In a modern classic of Italian song. Not easy to make and sing! Excellent Italian diction even the not simple one. Ciao.
She is one the best singers and interpreters i have ever seen
Elisabeth, this analysis was stunning. Beautiful. 😍 I cried the whole time. Lara Fabian has the most intense voice I have ever heard.
But Elizabeth, you MUST do an analysis on my all time favorite singer Freddie Mercury. There's no-one like him, and there'll never be.
thanks for telling us why she´s technically good. well, we non-singer can hear that this is an exeptional performance, but your way of reacting to this makes it very clear what the heck is going on while singing… To put it in your words : ahh, ooohh,ahm,wow, sheee sheee, hhhh, hoch, I loved loved when..., ahm, hoch, aaah, wow, i loved the way she.. ohh, hhhh, lets keep going. :-)
Your transcription has me rolling in laughter. Thanks!
Thank you Elizabeth....this is truly magical performance by Lara
It was a wonderful interpretation ❤️ because Lara Fabian demonstrated a crazy technique and voice control!!!! And it was also very nice to see your reaction and your well detailed professional opinion!!!! Congratulations 👍
I saw this performance on TH-cam several years ago. It knocked me on my ass. I've been an avid fan ever since. My favorite performance.
I’m Canadian and am proud of how masterfully Lara performs this beautiful song. Another version to note is done by Pavarotti and Lucio Dalla (who wrote the song Caruso). They are amazing together. It also helps to understand what’s going on in the song by reading the translated lyrics. Please consider reviewing this piece.
I first heard this song sung by Luciano Pavarotti, then Andrea Bocelli… but then I heard this version and it blew my mind! Lara is incredible.
Another one from my playlist. She is breathtaking.
I absolutely LOVE the way you understand Lara Fabian performance, her talent, her artistry. Your appreciation of her is appreciated. You are on of three favorites I go to , regularly. Thank you so much. 🥰👏👏👏👏👌
I discovered Lara many years ago when I was looking up Pavarottis performance of Caruso. I had always loved that. But when I found Lara’s performance I was moved to tears. It’s astounding.
10:38 - she’s singing with her body, her heart... tempestuous and true.
This is wonderful! Indeed Lara does this song exquisitely! I hope you will also manage to react to her song Broken Vow, and others like You're not from here, Tomorrow is a lie, Je t'aime, to name a few. Thank you Elizabeth. Stay safe.
Lara Fabian has one of the most Beautiful voices on the Planet. If you had to list the 10 Best Female singers in the World she would be on the list without a doubt.
Thank you so much, like Fabian, you too believe what you are saying/singing, so we believe you. Great review
More than a vocalist she is a story teller. Nobody connects like her NOBODY except possibly Adele. On vocal terms alone, no one can touch her.
Lara is beyond amazing! I don’t think anyone comes close. Adele is amazing but you must hear Yebba In My Mind live…. Super emotional
Dame Shirley Bassey comes to mind as a visual storyteller in her singing, not on the level Lara is, however, very theatrical in her movements.
Omg! I can do nothing but like, like, like this video even before seeing it. There is only one way this can end and it's bound to be amazing
She deserves more recognition, because her talent is truly an the vocals skills are always on point. She can sing in many languages: Italian, French, English and Portuguese, passing the same emotion and high quality vocals in each one. Lara is a unique artist.👏🏻
Thank you for reactin to Lara Fabian❤
Love your reactions to Lara ❤
Love Lara ❤
Love from Denmark ❤
I first heard Lara in the Dream Within song from the first Final Fantasy movie.
Scrubbed back to listen to the song again. Went out and bought all of the CD's she had out back then the very next day. She is absolutely amazing.
she rocks the world being so far the best performance of Caruso ever! We feel all her emotion splendid performance
Hi Elizabeth,
Could you react to "ADAGIO" and "BROKEN VOW" from Lara please ;)
Kiss from France
Both from live From Lara With Love concert.
Just amazing! Out of this world.
She not only speaks French, Italian, English and Spanish fluently, she writes songs in all of them. She even refers to herself something like "a songwriter who sings." She also understands several more and sings very very competently (according to native speakers) in a total of 12.
Perhaps you can react to some of her originals: Broken Vow (Josh Groban covered, Barbra Streisand made arrangements to cover it), Adagio (that Dimash covered in a very different interpretation) or - the one I'm desperate to understand better from a craft standpoint - You're Not From Here. That last one is exstremely difficult but she keeps it sounding gentle and seems easy peasy. All three are in English, favorite versions from live From Lara With Love concert.
Or, if you want to see the Rock Star!! side of her: she teamed up with Francophone superstar Johnny Hallyday on his signature Requiem Pour un fou. He split the song into two voices just for her. She goes just as deep with the emotions -they're just very different emotions than the ones from her ballads. 😃 The performance is amazing with a full orchestra and large chorale.
Sarah Vaughan and Lara Fabian are the only two singers that stop me in my tracks and stun me every single time. I can't believe, at my age, I've become a superstan of someone. 🤣
She sang "You are not from here" only two times. There is a reason for it, not an easy song. My brother loves it and sings it (he's got talent 😁) but as my dad would say "I wish him to really fly away"😂😂
@@Love_Lara 😂
It's a fascinating song/performance for me. I didn't fully appreciate the song when I first heard it on the heels of Adagio and Je suis malade, but then I listened more and analyzed it. It is SO incredibly difficult, the choices she makes, and how simple, simple, easy breezy she keeps it sounding. I really am desperate for a vocal coach to get into the nitty-gritty of what she's doing. 😰😓🤕
@@Love_Lara p.s. Do you have a link to or know the when/where of her other live performance of it?
At the end of the one I know (FLWL) she looks up at the audience with an expression of "Nailed it!" which I loved. 😁
@@DoggieFosters th-cam.com/video/uAgPK2tMn6w/w-d-xo.html. If you type "Lara Fabian baden baden" on yt, you can see whole concert from Germany
@@Love_Lara Thank you so much!
