Jacques Brel is not singing. He gives all his body and soul to his audience. He was more than an artist, he was a true passionate man for whom his art was everything. He was not french by the way, he was belgian, the best gift Belgium ever gave to mankind in my opinion. He was inspiring, and unmatched to this day. I owe him so much.
Belgium offered lot of other things ^^’ without Belgians, the Bog Bang theory, the world wide web, etc… wouldn’t be developed as it was… (+ some of the most important characters of European middle age)
Jacques Brel , était habité par l’ange de la musique , il plane littéralement au dessus de tout en terme d’interprétation , de sincérité et donc d’émotion ! Irremplaçable !! Merci !
En terme d'interprétation,personne , vraiment personne jusqu'à aujourd'hui n'a fait mieux que lui. Et je parle pas des textes, actuellement ça fait peur
N'abuse pas non plus, il y a quand serge lama avec son je suis malade, son ballon rouge qui tape très fort, ou Gilbert becaud avec son Nathalie aussi qui tape très fort
This is more than singing. It's way beyond singing. It's actual performing with one's guts, blood, sweat and tears all out, on the table. Giving everything like there was no tomorrow, like there was nothing left to live. Jacques Brel, the naked king.
Monumental performance in deed! Please give a try to "Ne me quitte pas", one of his biggest hist and probably one of the most intense love song ever written... Peace
"Ne me quitte pas", "La chanson des vieux amants", "La quête", "Ces gens là"... Je vous rassure, il a plein de chansons exeptionnelles a écouter. I assure you, he has plenty of great songs to listen to.
"La chanson des vieux amants" est sans doute la plus belle histoire d'amour pour moi... "Ces gens-là" est aussi parmi mes favorites (mais on ne peut pas parler de chanson d'amour, plutôt une critique de la société et du jugement)
I'm half belgian from the north of France by my grand grand mother. I was living in a little town across the frontier. I grow up with this singer. He was the best writer and performer I've known. I spent so many evenings during my actor's studies in Belgium seing all live performance on DVD. I'm so glad his songs comes to you..Hold it Dereck, you will become a fine and deep expert of French and Belgium culture. Jacques Brel wrote a part of our patrimony... Thanks to remember me that.
Je suis Québécois... et je te dis que non seulement Jacques Brel est incrusté dans notre culture, mais on sait absolument qu'il est Belge aussi ;) C'est un joyau de la francophonie et du patrimoine mondial a mon sens.
Maybe my personal best song of all times, and I'm a huge fan of metal music, but this song, the performance of Jacques Brel, the passion, the power in it, it's unreal.
Quand Jacques Brel chante, là c'est silence ! Voilà, c'est respect et le type on voit qu'il va devant le public avec de la trouille, et il a tellement bossé, il amène un matériel tellement de qualité comme un artisan qui est un maître voilà, qui a fait un chef d'oeuvre, il dit regardez mon chef d'oeuvre parce que c'est un chef d'oeuvre.
Thanks Dereck, Jacques Brel is the master of french song. There is an english cover of this song by David Bowie that I like also a lot. I am a fan of DB.
David Bowie was my introduction to this song and I loved it. I was afraid when I finally heard the original I would be disappointed but not a bit of it. Fantastic.
@@PhoenixSinhopsysTV a half part of Belgium speaks french 😅 When they become famous they come to France (and is a little bigger) Look a Stromae (Maestro) !
oh ! Dereck BREL et PIAF. ........ BREL .. et la magie absolue de l'Olympia 64 à Paris ''Ne me quitte pas'' et un cadeau pour toi Dereck ''La valse à mille temps'' et pour pleurer toutes les larmes de la nostalgie ''' Les Vieux'' Pour l'incroyable théâtralité '' ces gens là'' ''le plat pays'' etc...... en plus un acteur fantastique Ex : ''les risques du métier'' '' l'emmerdeur'' '' l'aventure c'est l'aventure'' ''mon oncle Benjamin''....
What's funny is that actually Brel didn't like this song, he never sang it on studio, but the first time he sang it at the Olympia, the audience loved it so much they played it 3 or 4 times
Un immense merci Dereck! ❤🎵🎹🎶 tu as été transporté au point de ne pas intervenir pendant que tu découvrais la chanson! Le grand Jacques, de l'émotion à l'état pur
I remember... I was a child, maybe 5 or 6 yrs old. Late 1970s. (yeah, I'm THAT old, lol!) My dad was watching tv and I was playing not too far away. This song, this very performance came on the television. My dad called me over and I sat on his lap. "You have to watch this. This is one of the greatest perforance of one of the greatest songs ever", he told me. As I watched, I was kinda scared. This man was so intense, crying even. I didn't get it at that time. Years later, as I listen and watch it again, it brings tears to my eyes. Because of the song and Jacques Brel himself, but mostly because I realize that I had a dad that recognized amazing artists and wanted to share them with me. This performance will always be a gigantic classic.
No one has ever seen anything like this guys. Your face was priceless! Brel, this man is the eternal legend… and the lyrics in this song… wow. He was trained in drama at first, hence his scenic presence and indeed, what a storyteller. Played in few films and a musical too. this song is top five of greatest songs in French language… along with his “Ne me quitte Pas” (which you should definitely look at), Edith Piaf, Leo Ferré and George Brassens.
A fact about his perfomances is that everytime before getting on stage, he was feeling terribly sick and anxious, puking of stress and fainting. But once he was in front on the audience, he delivered all the passion he could possibly give.
Definitely in my personal top 5 performances of all times. It's impossible not to get sucked in. A fantastic performance and an extraordinary, unique song.
Brel is one off the Belgium diamonds we have! He is something else! Belgium is proud for him👌👍As I am From Belgium,thank you for this👏👏👏 Ne me quite pas is a top song😉 Don't leave me is the translation of the title
Il faut venir sur TH-cam présenté par un jeune Anglophone pour entendre le grand Jacques Brel que l'on n'entend plus sur le radio de langue Française ni en France Shame on us ! Merci jeune homme
Lovely to see a young person enjoying Brel as much as I do. There's a lot of his old stuff on TH-cam. You've probably come across 'Next', but also check out 'Le Plat Pays' and 'Madeleine' to get a good overview of his versatility.
Hello, Jacques Brel the most famous of the belgian, most of his songs are melancholy song he is a very authentic singer on most of his interviews he speaks true to me he's the best
Thanks for the reaction! Brel was an outstanding live performer, and was exhausted at the end of every show. He stopped live performances very early in his career. Very poetic lyrics. Fun fact: there is NO studio version of this song! Just like Marley's "No woman no cry", you only can find live versions... Other beautiful song (and very sweaty too!): "Ne me quitte pas", wich was also covered by Yuri Buenaventura in a more latin style...
And even with that some people say Stromae is the new Brel... The best interpretation of the best song from the best singer. You can't physically stop it. Speed, intensity, lyrics, sound, music, tone, contrasts, variations... all mankind in one man singing. Unbeatable.
Welcome to the world of Jacques Brel, my man ! Try the David Bowie version, it's glorious too. Nina Simone also covered Brel and delivered. Keep bringing these videos, Dereck. Thanks.
Nice to see a legend like Brel receives a new audience this way. I grew up in the Netherlands with his songs, most of them are in French but he also song in Dutch like ‘mijn vlakke land’ or in both dutch and French like ‘Marieke’. There is a video of him performing this song on TH-cam.
When a reporter asked Jacques Brel why he never answered to curtain calls, he said "did boxers comeback after knockout to fight again ?" That says it all.
Ma chanson préférée de Brel est "Je vous ai apporté des bonbons" et y a la version où il vient les rechercher! Ma maman me berçait avec ses chansons et celle de Piaf! 😍
Jacques Brel is a immense artiste. Thank You for this reaction. You know Vesoul and Ne me quitte pas but I suggere You : Jef, Au suivant, Le dernier repas or Mathilde. En live, it is better
No words to describe Jacques Brel, others song: Ne me quitte pas La chanson des vieux amants La valse à mille temps ..... Such a great artist, Love from France !
Masterpiece. As a French i am very proud to see this type of content, and about you who understand the power of this song and Brel:) Nice react and hope you can someday react about "J'ai encore rêvé d'elle" performed by "Il était une fois"; it's one of the best duo song ever, you clearly gonna be shocked of the voices and the lyrics too, so sad and beautiful in the same time;)
Quand on connaît la vitalité de la chanson belge, je ne peux m'empêcher de penser qu'il y est pour quelque chose. Moi qui adore Lara Fabian je vois en Jacques Brel un précurseur
An incredible singer, a true passionate poet. He denounced the bourgeois and talked about life, death. They mocked people's defects. A very big artist. Thé last song, "les Marquises"
You should also react to 'Ces gens là' (Those people) by Jacques Brel. In that song, he describes a family with a music which speed follows his Heart beating. A unique song to discover.
Jacques Brel is not singing. He gives all his body and soul to his audience. He was more than an artist, he was a true passionate man for whom his art was everything.

Excellente description de ce véritable monstre génial et gentil qu'était et que restera toujours Jacques Brel !

Hergé!
Belgie is a non-exostent country. He is a vlaamse “franskiljon”
@@jean-charleslargot4895 Il (le grand Jacques) mériterait le prix Nobel de la chanson si cela existait .... Salut depuis Liège .
Là on touche le ciel. Brel c'est du High Level.
Jacques Brel , était habité par l’ange de la musique , il plane littéralement au dessus de tout en terme d’interprétation , de sincérité et donc d’émotion !
Irremplaçable !!
Merci !

If you want an increasing speed song, try "une valse à 1000 temps" it's a real Jacques Brel singing performance !
yep even rappers could'nt contest
Yeah i think the most difficult song of brel
Vesoul
th-cam.com/video/Rx7hr8eERP0/w-d-xo.html
On this version of "la valse à mille temps", Jacques Brel was amazing
I swear you Dereck this one is absolutly amazing
Le grand Jacques Brel... Magnificent.. Goosebumps every time... A Belgian legend 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪
This is more than singing. It's way beyond singing. It's actual performing with one's guts, blood, sweat and tears all out, on the table. Giving everything like there was no tomorrow, like there was nothing left to live. Jacques Brel, the naked king.
Nothing to ad
All is saying Brel IS such a legend for Real i love him since im a little kid and i will Always Love is song
Tout à fait. Ce n'est plus chanter, c'est faire vivre. Et tout ceci sans arrangements de sa voix sur table de mixage.
Singing as if you were going to die
It is not just a song, it is a painting a great painting !!! Brueghel could have done it !
Monumental performance in deed! Please give a try to "Ne me quitte pas", one of his biggest hist and probably one of the most intense love song ever written... Peace
He did it… Now the video is blocked for France.
Déjà fait
Mais pas la version live il me semble.
"Ne me quitte pas", "La chanson des vieux amants", "La quête", "Ces gens là"...
Je vous rassure, il a plein de chansons exeptionnelles a écouter. I assure you, he has plenty of great songs to listen to.
"La chanson des vieux amants" est sans doute la plus belle histoire d'amour pour moi...
"Ces gens-là" est aussi parmi mes favorites (mais on ne peut pas parler de chanson d'amour, plutôt une critique de la société et du jugement)

Jacques Brel is a classic. Another great master of french singers given to us by Belgium.
Oohhh... Jacques Brel ! 😍 Thanks a lot Dereck 🙏😘🙏
Jacques Brel is just incredible 😍 an other live performance from him : "Ces gens là" ;))
La valse à mille temps, il va voir flou ^^
Fabuleuse comme ''les vieux''

Ohhh Jacques Brel... un très grand chanteur !!! J'adooorre !!!
I'm thanksful I was born French just so I could understand to the fullest this magnificiant song. The use of words is unmatched, pure poetry.
Oui mais lui n’a rien de français 😉
What's funny is that actually Brel didn't like this song, he never sang it on studio, but the first time he sang it at the Olympia, the audience loved it so much they played it 3 or 4 times
True story, and that's why today we only have this video of the song singed by him.
Brel was, is, a pure musical genius singer interpreter.
merci Dereck de faire connaitre notre musique tant aimée, merci.
Love your appreciation of Brel. An artist through and through!
Esse cara é EXTRAORDINÁRIO
Un immense merci Dereck! ❤🎵🎹🎶 tu as été transporté au point de ne pas intervenir pendant que tu découvrais la chanson!
Le grand Jacques, de l'émotion à l'état pur
One of the greatest singer-songwriters ever!
Jacques Bruel is a singer from my parents generation. He is the best singer ever. He goes from generation to generation without missing a beat
Brel is a legend. He really lives fully his songs..
best singer songwriter performer ever ..ever .... and by a long shot.
Jacques Brel était un chanteur Belges , cette chanson c'était lors de ses adieux a Paris , très grand Monsieur ,Merci de faire revivre
So happy to find a reaction to a Jacques Brel song. And so appreciate how much you appreciated his passion
I don't think there ever was one or will be again as passionate as Jaques Brel.
Merci pour ce grand artiste, Monsieur Brel 🙏❤❤🇲🇫
Il inventé le slam avec ces gens là faut pas oublier !!!!
Phénomènal! Jacques, tu nous manques !!

Juste une chanson de légende ❤

My favorite French song of all time. He's Belgian too. So... bonus points! The lyrics are brutal!
Un chanteur, mais surtout un conteur exceptionnel
Incredible !
Jacques Brel was genuine all his life on and off stage. Legendary persona , unique story teller
A fact about his perfomances is that everytime before getting on stage, he was feeling terribly sick and anxious, puking of stress and fainting. But once he was in front on the audience, he delivered all the passion he could possibly give.

Yes Dereck !!! You are French now when after earing so many French music…. You approuved the Master Jacques !!! You’re brillant
And even with that some people say Stromae is the new Brel...
The best interpretation of the best song from the best singer.

Hey Derek... From the same singer, please try "ces gens là"... One of my favourites
When a reporter asked Jacques Brel why he never answered to curtain calls, he said "did boxers comeback after knockout to fight again ?" That says it all.

Jacques Brel = The GOAT
Thanks, Brel Bigest artist Always
"ne me quitte pas" in live !
another best jacques brel performance
Sting sings " Ne me quitte pas ". And Johnny Hallyday too.
Jacques Brel is a immense artiste. Thank You for this reaction. You know Vesoul and Ne me quitte pas but I suggere You : Jef, Au suivant, Le dernier repas or Mathilde. En live, it is better
I was going to suggest Jef, but I saw you did. If you like emotions, I think that one has it
Y en a tellement !
extraordinaire
I think one of my favorite one from him IS such a legend he will never die here in France
Tu abordes un dieu de la chanson française. J'ai 47 ans et je l'écoutais à 15 ans bien aprés sa mort
The live performance of "ces gens là" is Amazing
Ne me quitte pas ! From the same singer ! 😊
Love Jacques Brel !
For a change of mood, I recommend “Les bonbons” and “Les bourgeois” which are on Brel’s humorous side.
"Je vous ai apporté des bonbons..." :-)
The greatest, period
No words to describe Jacques Brel, others song:
Ne me quitte pas
La chanson des vieux amants
La valse à mille temps
