Lara Fabian has the most wonderful voice of her generation. For me she is nr 1. A brilliant performer and storyteller..An absolut beautiful lady..stunning person loved by millions worldwide. Thank you for a beautiful reaction.👍👍👍
I cannot wait for you to watch and hear her sing Je Suis Malade from the same concert as Adagio "From Lara with Love". One of the best live performances I have ever seen.
I must have watched hundreds of Lara's performances, and an embarrassing amount of reactions. One singer or coach, I forget, said she's not afraid to sacrifice her beauty to properly convey the emotions or hit notes in a healthy way. In the more raw emotional songs she doesn't care if her face is all scrunched up, or her mouth is wide open, ya know? Performers these days practice their singing in the mirror so they always look IG worthy at every moment. Anyway, enough rambling, thank you for this reaction!
You'll first react to the Je Suis Malade performance from this same 1999 concert, yes? To me it is the best first experience due to the orchestration & cinematography.
she sings from her soul to ours, in all her songs, still today at 53yo she is the all time best female vocaliste of this century her voice still mesmerising and she is so gorgeous. Listening to Lara and you are screwed for now and forever..Shes got you..helpless and spellbound..Amazing woman!!
Lara Fabian is absolutely underplayed here in the USA 🇺🇸. She would be in The Trio below Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and the late Whitney Houston, RIP. 🤯 Great 👍 choice you have for a reaction. Cover versions: Julie Anne San Jose, Morissette Amon.
Yes she is here in the UK too but then the internet gives any artist the chance to be worldwide so she’ll have her fans all over - looks like she’s had a great career though from what I can see 👌
Lara's voice is like liquid gold, she is phenomenal, always singing with her heart. In all of her musics she makes us feel like she is telling a story to each one personaly. We become her confidents and that is amazing. For me, one of the best female singers in the world.
Ha well I don’t think looks or talent come in to the equation in regards to cheating 😒 … still it probably worked out best for her … I’m sure she’s happier now ❤️ and we get a great song out of it too - it’s a win win!! 😃
The music of Broken Vow was co-composed by Walter Afanassiev and Lara Fabian. Walter Afanassiev, an american/brazilian from russian descent, is a legendary composer and producer (he composed some of the greatest initial hits of Mariah Carey such as All I Want for Christmas is You or Hero and was the producer of the Titanic soundtrack that brought Celine Dion to WW fame). He is also now the producer of Dimash for his US career. When this song was composed, Walter and Lara were engaged, they were living in San Francisco’s bay area, but apparently he cheated and she decided to break up. When she took this decision, that she knew would dramatically change both her personal and professional destiny, she wrote these incredible lyrics. Lara has said this is her preferred english song from all the songs she wrote in this language (there are many, and some are pure jewels). One reason is also because this song has then been covered by the greatests: - Barbra Streisand (she performed it in concerts from one of her tour but never recorded it), - Josh Groban (his cover made this song famous in US, she is her friend and role model and he made several duets with her), - Cakra Khan, - Gigi de Lana, - Regine Velasquez, - Almira (from 4th Impact), - Katrina Velarde, - Julie Anne San Jose, - Sarah Geronimo, - Morissette Amon, - Petra Berger, - Harrison Craig, - Rimar, - Jackie Evancho, - … Jackie Evancho, and at the request of Jackie's parents who found the original lyrics were not a good fit for a young girl, Lara rewrote Broken Vow in french as "Imaginer" with a complete different meaning. But the original from Lara remains the absolute reference ua-cam.com/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/v-deo.html (From Lara with Love concert, with a mini interview about the creatuon of this song)

@@WineSippingCowboy David Foster said from Lara in the concert Dzvid Foster and Friends: « I am grateful to live in a world of a great voices, and lucky to have worled woth many of these, but believe me, the woman I gonna introduce now is top of the heap of the world great voices.

🇨🇦 You may already have been told this by Eric Sicard, but I would remind you that Lara is a fully trained Lyric Soprano (and still travels to Belgium to train) ! The music and the lyrics that she plays with, are a Master Class ! Each syllable of each word, in every line of every lyric is sung clearly and completely, no matter which language she sings in ! My own recommendation at this depth of the rabbit hole is "Caruso", followed by "You're not from here" !
What's reaction, Lara is wonderful as always but you made the perfection with this reaction. I can see when you love a singer, that happen with Lara and Dimash . TYSM
When I hear this song, I always think of the wholesome Disney princesses from the 60's, 70's, and 80's . 🌹🎹🌹Lara is so amazing. Heart and soul of an angel. Her biggest brain-blowing performance was Je suis Malade (1999), my favorite, but Caruso is great too. Okay, yes she has lots of great songs.🤔🤣😂I will be here all day adding more.😢🤣😂 🥰🥰🥰 Hugs from Canada🇨🇦
We love Lara in Canada. We think she is the best singer in the world. Love your reaction. You know singing and you add a little humor. I can see you really appreciate her talent and suggest you check out her famous concert (From Lara With Love). You have already reacted to three of her songs from that concert Including Adagio which along with Curuso and Love By Grace are a couple of my favourites.
Lara is so amazing, sings with so much emotions, captivating. Yes, she had been through heartache. Another song she sang with so much emotions is " Parce que tu pars" from her live concert Nue. Thank you for a great reaction.
This Broken Vow was the first Lara's song that I listened to many years ago, after I heard Jackie Evancho sang Imaginer. Since then I have listened to this Lara's Broken Vow countless times, and still feeling the impact of the song it gives to me until now. Lara sings many other songs (many of her own writings) that are as impressive and touching as Broken Vow.
Lara's songs ( and she has a wide repertoire lasting thirty or so years) are all so expressive that time and again my heart connects with her and is lifted by her. I have listened over many years to singers from around the world, young and old, but I could name on only three or four fingers others who inspire me as much .
Great reaction per usual: FYI: LARA (not Laura) Fabian (Fabyanne) with links: Lara Fabian is a Canadian (Québécoise) of Belgium birth and Italian/Franco/Flemish cultural heritage. Lara studied piano, composition, and voice at a Brussels Conservatory for a decade. Lara is a full lyric soprano with a vocal range that spans four octaves (A5, B4, BB4, C3, C5, C#5, D5, E5, EB5, F5, F#5, G5) in live performances. She is multilingual; she speaks Italian, French, Spanish, and English and has sung in 12. Lara, who describes herself as a songwriter/singer, creates a high emotional connection with the listener. She has a discography of over 400 songs, has sold over 30 million records, and plays at sold-out venues worldwide. She lives with her husband and daughter in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. A “50 at 50” - fifty live performances celebrating her 50th birthday had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 and was rescheduled as “The Best of Lara.” I’m a ‘fan’ because of her high level ‘EQ’ (emotional intelligence) expressed in the text of her songs. La raison pour laquelle je suis un « fan » de Lara Fabian est son « QE » élevé, qu’elle exprime dans le texte de ses chansons.

I have watched two of your reactions to Lara. I love the way you break down the different elements of her performances and you're right, not only has she mastered her singing voice but she is a fantastic performer. It's hard to believe how good she is just watching her. Like you I think, I had not even heard of her until recently. How somebody that good for decades never became popular in America I'll never know. She is one of a kind and I'm so glad you've found Lara too. You are pretty entertaining yourself and I appreciate the knowledge you bring in your analysis of her performances. Keep it up, love your shows.
Thank you for those comments buddy I appreciate that!! Yes I try to bring a bit of knowledge and a bit of humour at the same time as that’s important to me … thank you for noticing ❤️
We can all thank Celine Dion's team for undermining her career in the US. This concert was actually filmed in Montreal for distribution in the US on PBS as part of introducing her to us. She was making appearances, like the Today show and late night interviews. But because she scared the crap out of Celine's team they forced Sony to push her into the dance-pop genre. She did have a huge hit with I Will Love Again and it's a great fun song, but it's hardly all she is. So of course it's not what she wanted or who she is, so the deal fell apart and she returned to Canada and France pretty broken and even suicidal. It was a dark period, but she came through and made her album Nue, arguably one of her best. The concert for Nue is awesome and huge love fest with her fans showing her how much she's loved when they sing Je T'aime to her, taking it over and surprising her. Pas Sans Toi is another really beautiful moment. Parce Que Tu Pars is about the suicidal feelings and is a powerful song and performance. One of my all time favorite songs of hers. I wish more reactors would react to it. But there you go, that's why we don't know her like we should. She talks about all of this in interviews.
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa canción e interpretación increíble de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero! Gracias!
I heard she wrote this song while crying on her bathroom floor. So it's her experience. She is phenomenal! Also Lucy Thomas just did her first performance in Manchester England. She's 20 now been following her for 4 years now. Also has done duets with her little sister Martha Thomas. She will be starring in the musical Rosie! Check her out please.
I love Lara, one of my top 3 female singers, the one line in this song that I don’t understand is when she sings I’d give away my soul to hold you one again, when she says the song is about betrayal and forgiveness; also Josh Groban released a cover of this song
Yes that crossed my mind too but I think maybe it’s like a rhetorical thought maybe after the fact 🤷♂️ even when you know you have to move on from someone the brain can still replay images or you think or feel things that you know you can’t act upon … I don’t know maybe it’s that … she feels in her weak moments she would do that even though she wouldn’t and didn’t because she left 🤷♂️ That’s the best I’ve got hahaha 🤣
You did win your bet, you clearly identified that she knows her voice so well she never crossed the line of putting it at risk of damaging it. Here is an example of the final seconds of a performance from last April ua-cam.com/video/a_Qy-8uF_90/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Haha I thought as much!! I won’t watch that just yet Eric because I’ll probably react to that song and I don’t want to spoil it for myself .. I’ll watch after but thank you 🙏
@@TheSomaticSinger yes, this song Je suis malade in his 1999 rendition by Lara is considered by many as one of the best emotions conveying and storytelling performances ever! And you can see there she is not cold at all. ua-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/v-deo.html Lol she even made « chairs » type of performances proving she is more hot than cold 🤩
Hi Nicholas, fantastic as always in your reactions, when you can, your reaction to the song "Je Suis Malade" from the same concert would be interesting, I don't know if you speak French too, but you can always activate the subtitles, because the lyrics are magnificent. thank you for the time you dedicate to us.
You're welcome!!! Yes I will more than likely do that reaction next - it seems quite a popular choice. No I don't speak French but that won't stop me haha like you say there are subtitles!! ✌️

Do yourself a favor.........watch her perform " Yentle medley " , a cover of the two songs by Streisand from the movie of the same name........absolutlely SUBLIME ! Even Barbra never sang them both back to back in concert
Here is a short list of suggestions to start a journey with Lara: Songs she wrote: • Adagio (english version) : ua-cam.com/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/v-deo.html (covered among others by Dimash, Floor Jansen, Dame Shirley Bassey, Il Divo) • You are not from here (english): ua-cam.com/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/v-deo.html • Broken Vow (english): ua-cam.com/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/v-deo.html (covered by Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Gigi de Lana, Almira (4th impact), Morissette Amon, Katrina Velarde, Regine Velasquez, Cakra Khan, Harrison Craig, ...) • I guess I loved you (english): ua-cam.com/video/EwI-HIfSyqU/v-deo.html • Je t'aime (french): ua-cam.com/video/l826rlBOn9w/v-deo.html (covered by Polina Gagarina, Amir, Giulia Falcone, …) • I am A-WA (english): ua-cam.com/video/mKLdLox918A/v-deo.html • Tu es mon autre (French, duet with Maurane): ua-cam.com/video/kfQbUMZXhAE/v-deo.html • Si tu m’aimes (French): ua-cam.com/video/Wg-Zv9cWuDE/v-deo.html • Pas sans toi (French): ua-cam.com/video/H12LGDnl6pI/v-deo.html • Par Amour (French): ua-cam.com/video/rjrTd8VeP64/v-deo.html • Llora (Spanish): ua-cam.com/video/8Fh35Foo9CA/v-deo.html • Dites-moi pourquoi je l’aime (French): ua-cam.com/video/-85T-iR7dfc/v-deo.html • Mademoiselle Hyde (English): ua-cam.com/video/SZm-lhuSyI4/v-deo.html (covered by Dimash) • Quedate (Spanish): ua-cam.com/video/cX0CPdBV75E/v-deo.html Original songs but she didn’t write these: • For Always (Soundtrack of Spielberg’s A.I. movie, english, duet with Josh Groban): ua-cam.com/video/V4dttmn3ppU/v-deo.html • I will love again (english): ua-cam.com/video/RuNPZwN13Q0/v-deo.html

When she took this decision, that she knew would dramatically change both her personal and professional destiny, she wrote these incredible lyrics.
Lara has said this is her preferred english song from all the songs she wrote in this language (there are many, and some are pure jewels).
One reason is also because this song has then been covered by the greatests:
- Barbra Streisand (she performed it in concerts from one of her tour but never recorded it),
- Josh Groban (his cover made this song famous in US, she is her friend and role model and he made several duets with her),
- Cakra Khan,
- Gigi de Lana,
- Regine Velasquez,
- Almira (from 4th Impact),
- Katrina Velarde,
- Julie Anne San Jose,
- Sarah Geronimo,
- Morissette Amon,
- Petra Berger,
- Harrison Craig,
- Rimar,
- Jackie Evancho,
- …
Jackie Evancho, and at the request of Jackie's parents who found the original lyrics were not a good fit for a young girl, Lara rewrote Broken Vow in french as "Imaginer" with a complete different meaning.
But the original from Lara remains the absolute reference

We love Lara in Canada. We think she is the best singer in the world. Love your reaction. You know singing and you add a little humor. I can see you really appreciate her talent and suggest you check out her famous concert (From Lara With Love). You have already reacted to three of her songs from that concert
Including Adagio which along with Curuso and Love By Grace are a couple of my favourites.
Thank you 🙏 yes I can see why Canada loves her … quite rightly so 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦
I like her with song jetai'me.
Lara is so amazing, sings with so much emotions, captivating. Yes, she had been through heartache. Another song she sang with so much emotions is " Parce que tu pars" from her live concert Nue. Thank you for a great reaction.
You’re very welcome 😉
She wrote the song yes ❤
Her voice is lovely, a very soothing song and to me she sometimes sounds like celine dion xx
This Broken Vow was the first Lara's song that I listened to many years ago, after I heard Jackie Evancho sang Imaginer. Since then I have listened to this Lara's Broken Vow countless times, and still feeling the impact of the song it gives to me until now. Lara sings many other songs (many of her own writings) that are as impressive and touching as Broken Vow.
Lara's songs ( and she has a wide repertoire lasting thirty or so years) are all so expressive that time and again my heart connects with her and is lifted by her. I have listened over many years to singers from around the world, young and old, but I could name on only three or four fingers others who inspire me as much .
❤❤❤
Great reaction per usual: FYI: LARA (not Laura) Fabian (Fabyanne) with links: Lara Fabian is a Canadian (Québécoise) of Belgium birth and Italian/Franco/Flemish cultural heritage. Lara studied piano, composition, and voice at a Brussels Conservatory for a decade. Lara is a full lyric soprano with a vocal range that spans four octaves (A5, B4, BB4, C3, C5, C#5, D5, E5, EB5, F5, F#5, G5) in live performances. She is multilingual; she speaks Italian, French, Spanish, and English and has sung in 12. Lara, who describes herself as a songwriter/singer, creates a high emotional connection with the listener. She has a discography of over 400 songs, has sold over 30 million records, and plays at sold-out venues worldwide. She lives with her husband and daughter in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. A “50 at 50” - fifty live performances celebrating her 50th birthday had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 and was rescheduled as “The Best of Lara.”
I’m a ‘fan’ because of her high level ‘EQ’ (emotional intelligence) expressed in the text of her songs.
La raison pour laquelle je suis un « fan » de Lara Fabian est son « QE » élevé, qu’elle exprime dans le texte de ses chansons.

Thank you and thanks for all the information friend - all interesting stuff to know 🙏
Αγαπητέ πολύ καλή η ανάλυση σου. Είναι η βασίλισσα μας ❤️❤️♥️💖❤️❤️♥️💖❤️❤️
Thankyou for a great reaction. I think Lara Fabian is totally amazing and I love this song xx
You’re welcome and thanks for watching 🙏
I have watched two of your reactions to Lara. I love the way you break down the different elements of her performances and you're right, not only has she mastered her singing voice but she is a fantastic performer. It's hard to believe how good she is just watching her. Like you I think, I had not even heard of her until recently. How somebody that good for decades never became popular in America I'll never know. She is one of a kind and I'm so glad you've found Lara too. You are pretty entertaining yourself and I appreciate the knowledge you bring in your analysis of her performances. Keep it up, love your shows.
Thank you for those comments buddy I appreciate that!! Yes I try to bring a bit of knowledge and a bit of humour at the same time as that’s important to me … thank you for noticing ❤️
We can all thank Celine Dion's team for undermining her career in the US. This concert was actually filmed in Montreal for distribution in the US on PBS as part of introducing her to us. She was making appearances, like the Today show and late night interviews. But because she scared the crap out of Celine's team they forced Sony to push her into the dance-pop genre. She did have a huge hit with I Will Love Again and it's a great fun song, but it's hardly all she is. So of course it's not what she wanted or who she is, so the deal fell apart and she returned to Canada and France pretty broken and even suicidal. It was a dark period, but she came through and made her album Nue, arguably one of her best. The concert for Nue is awesome and huge love fest with her fans showing her how much she's loved when they sing Je T'aime to her, taking it over and surprising her. Pas Sans Toi is another really beautiful moment. Parce Que Tu Pars is about the suicidal feelings and is a powerful song and performance. One of my all time favorite songs of hers. I wish more reactors would react to it. But there you go, that's why we don't know her like we should. She talks about all of this in interviews.
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa canción e interpretación increíble de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero! Gracias!
Gracias y saludos desde Inglaterra tambien … me encanta Costa Rica - yo vivía allí 🇨🇷🇬🇧🇨🇷🇬🇧
@@TheSomaticSinger Que bueno,conoces bastante seguro!?Un placer saludarte,pura vida!!
By far the greatest storyteller in song (even better than Sinatra, which is hard to imagine). Maybe you can do her version of Caruso
I heard she wrote this song while crying on her bathroom floor. So it's her experience. She is phenomenal!
Also Lucy Thomas just did her first performance in Manchester England. She's 20 now been following her for 4 years now. Also has done duets with her little sister Martha Thomas.
She will be starring in the musical Rosie! Check her out please.
I would have given my right --, um well my opinion to have been at that concert.
Haha but won't the left __ feel excluded?? 😊😊
Probably. 😬
you know it's evident but not noticed often but she stretches the words 'broken vows' and we see and hear her with precision pronouncing each syllable
you are CORRECT haha her voice matured..but she still can hit those same notes..hahah
ahh I thought she would be able to maintain that sound ✌️
Love Lara ❤
Please review my favorite song of hers KARMA. (Aka Je T’aime Encore)
I love Lara, one of my top 3 female singers, the one line in this song that I don’t understand is when she sings I’d give away my soul to hold you one again, when she says the song is about betrayal and forgiveness; also Josh Groban released a cover of this song
Yes that crossed my mind too but I think maybe it’s like a rhetorical thought maybe after the fact 🤷♂️ even when you know you have to move on from someone the brain can still replay images or you think or feel things that you know you can’t act upon … I don’t know maybe it’s that … she feels in her weak moments she would do that even though she wouldn’t and didn’t because she left 🤷♂️ That’s the best I’ve got hahaha 🤣
Oh who’s the other 2? 😁
@@TheSomaticSinger thanks for your reply, it makes sense what you’re saying and it at least gives me some understanding
@@TheSomaticSinger , Linda Ronstadt and Karen Carpenter, these are my top 3, but I can definitely add more, Streisand, C. Dion, etc
@@johnthegreek5836 nice choices 👌
You did win your bet, you clearly identified that she knows her voice so well she never crossed the line of putting it at risk of damaging it.
Here is an example of the final seconds of a performance from last April ua-cam.com/video/a_Qy-8uF_90/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Haha I thought as much!! I won’t watch that just yet Eric because I’ll probably react to that song and I don’t want to spoil it for myself .. I’ll watch after but thank you 🙏
@@TheSomaticSinger yes, this song Je suis malade in his 1999 rendition by Lara is considered by many as one of the best emotions conveying and storytelling performances ever! And you can see there she is not cold at all. ua-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/v-deo.html
Lol she even made « chairs » type of performances proving she is more hot than cold 🤩
Très belle réaction ..
Effectivement je pense que Lara a très peu de rivales dans le monde❤
Personnellement je n'envoie pas 😎
Hi Nicholas, fantastic as always in your reactions, when you can, your reaction to the song "Je Suis Malade" from the same concert would be interesting, I don't know if you speak French too, but you can always activate the subtitles, because the lyrics are magnificent. thank you for the time you dedicate to us.
You're welcome!!! Yes I will more than likely do that reaction next - it seems quite a popular choice. No I don't speak French but that won't stop me haha like you say there are subtitles!! ✌️
@@TheSomaticSingerthis video version has english subtitles and exposes a short interesting interview before and the minute after the last note where Lara resurfaces after her emotional immersion.
