I wholly agree with you. Lara's voice is so much more robust and does not move into a screech or ear piercing nails-on-a-chalkboard and that Behind and Barbara Streisand both have that makes me unable to actually listen to them. Lara's voice is hearty, full, and enjoyable to listen to. This song, particularly, made me fall in love with her. She is extraordinary! Shame on the American music industry for ignoring her.
surtout qu'elle est auteur compositeur et qu'elle vient de Belgique qu'on en est très fière, hélas on la met toujours derrière Céline depuis l'eurovision
Je preffere sa voix , ses textes, ses arrangements musicaux , et son choix de faire de la musique moins pop-ulaire que C.Dion...beaucoup d'instrumentations proche de la musique classique ...elle joue du piano en plus..Chanteuse et musicienne..respect..quand à dinash ...impressionnant mais moins harmoniquement agreable aux oreilles ...
I Absolutely Agree She stands alone in her interpretation tone and pitch. Her voice has a resonance that reaches inside the listener and captivates us. Cheers!
@Rock_ Lee I didn’t say that. In some cases there are better choices than her. For example when she sang VISONS OF LOVE live, I thought she didn’t sing it better than Mariah. But when it comes to her own songs, no one sings them better than her.
Dion is a good singer but Fabian is a storyteller and an emotional rollercoster ... she sing from the heart, the soul and she sing with passion as an italian women ! Celine can't compete !
She's better than Celine Dion, although many people compare them. Lara is an incredible multilingual storyteller. Please react to "Je suis malade" in French with English subtitles.
She's better than Céline Dion in my honest opinion, she's spectacular and extremely gorgeous, she takes my breath away!! Yes, she's still singing and she's still gorgeous, doesn't look that much older at all.
G5!!!!!!! LARA is the biggest World Star and will remain so forever!!! How do you know who knows what about Lara's life? You can't say anything new to those who have been following Lara for 25-30 years, don't bother!!! Your reaction is good!
More information on Lara Fabian: Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, .... In my personal opinion, she is even the best. There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register. So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence: • she speaks 4 languages fluently (french, italian, english, spanish), can speak a bit of sicilian, russian and dutch, and has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer. • she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none • she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens. A quick background on her and her career: She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia). She was raised in both countries so she speaks both french and italian as native languages. She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory. She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today. She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She now lives in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship She became very famous there and then conquered France in 1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music). In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US. This concert is legendary and the song you just reviewed is from this concert. But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan. She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar thru her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. 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. Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban, … With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there. Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her. She is Dimash's idol: I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep. He covered many of her songs (that she performed originally ; she also wrote some of these). Out of my mind I can list: ○ Adagio, ○ Mademoiselle Hyde, ○ Know, ○ Love of tired swans She also wrote the lyrics of his song « Your Love ». And she covered « Love is like a dream » before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva). They also performed Ti Amo Cosi together with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitriy Hvorostovsky and Alina Yaroyava then again later with Dmitriy and Sumi Jo, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida. Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy who came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him. Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs: ○ 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), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Broken Vow), ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ ○ .... ○ Today, she 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.

Hi, Eric!😊 It doesn't make sense to say that she's fluent in French and Italian because as you well know, are her native languages. You could tell people that the 2 are her native languages and that she's fluent in English and Spanish. She speaks Dutch but she doesn't speak Russian. If you consider that she speaks Russian, don't forget about Portuguese (she understands everything and she speaks relatively well). 😉
@@vervideosgiros1156 yes she just said this week indeed, in an interview, that she doesn’t speak russian indeed but sings it and understands it quite well
i really don't get all the fuss about Dimash. but Lara i love...i've known her voice since the 90 because i"m from Quebec where she started her career.
That's ok, I love both😁 I would also agree I prefer Lara's version of this song. But I can't lie, some of the songs and performances I've seen from Dimash seem pretty unmatched in my opinion. But that's just that of course, my opinion, it's just so interesting to see the different tastes and opinions of so many people😁
Yuri, surprised you did not know our very own Lara! She is born in Brussels, from a Belgian father and an Italian mother. In the early years of her career, she won the world music award for best selling Benelux artist ;-)
Avec Céline, probablement une des meilleures chanteuses au monde ! la version en italien est sublime aussi ! elle est sur l'album éponyme sortie en 1999 ! piste 13 !!! ;) je regrette tellement que Lara n'a pas cette renommée mondiale qu'elle mérite... LOVE !
Celine Dion’s staff was scared of Lara and was the reason she couldn’t penetrate the US market as planned. But she is a star in many countries. Thru Dimash, many others are rediscovering her. She has other songs with 20+ seconds notes with modulation up and down. She still sings and had amazing concerts two weeks ago. Still reaching 5th octave with power and resonance.and still the queen of emotions. She sang in trio with Dimash and another lady (Aida Garafulina) 3 years ago. She wrote the song Your Love for him and he made many covers of her
Lara is a waaay better singer than Celine Dion could ever wish to be. And Lara is way better than Barbara Streisand too. I got to dislike Barbara Streisand in the early 80’s when she got more and more over-produced and her sound became very commercial and trite. As for Celine Dion - the first time I ever heard her voice she made me grimace, as her nasal tones and tinny upper notes were just horrid. The weird thing is, that in the past decades, I have cringed at the sound of some female screeching on air. Each time, I’ve asked who’s that? The answer has been Celine Dion. So I guess my initial reaction has remained constant. Ugh!
@@OperaJH I agree with your opinion of Celine Dion and it always annoys me when people compare them. Lara has a richer and more pleasant tone, much more resonance, and far superior artistic skills.
They were on the same label so Celine management pressured Sony to stop promoting Lara's first english album. Lara may have had success around the world but 20 million albums is not 200 million like Celine so it did affect her career greatly.
@@realmccoy18 yes you are right. But on the other side, she won her freedom, became her own producer, followed her own artistic lane and was not pressured to perform daily in gigantic las Vegas shows. So maybe, ultimately, she did not loose that much, even if she had been very frustrated initially.
Thank You for your beautifull and emotional reaction. I'd like you react to "Requiem pour un fou" with Lara Fabian and Johnny Holliday, you will be crazy of Lara forever, 'I'm sure. Please...!
nice react!!:)...lara is,for me ,the best voice in the world,react "you are not from here",another incredible performance of lara on her song...very beautiful
The irony is that Lara is a HUGE Celine fan, and it was the record company and press who created a rivalry between them! Lara has even said that when she was asked which singers inspired her she didn't say Celine because they would say that she was copying Celine! That is such an injustice to Lara!!!!!!!!!! Lara & Celine do have some vocal similarities at first , but they have VERY different styles and unique qualities. Lara has a darker richer tone while Celine has more agility. They are quite different when you get to know their voices though! So...I don't understand why people try to pit them against each other, I love them both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're reaction was great. I love seeing others who have the same expressions and reactions to to Lara's voice. It's trully Amazing! Adagio is one of my favorites she sings....
Yes she still siging In June 2022 she made a concert in Montreal, Quebec city and Trois- Rivières . She was a director of a academy named Star Academy in 2020 and 2021 a tv show for young signer .You know now how lucky they are to have Madam Lara Fabian as a director of that academy . Thank you for your reaction . I am a full fan of madam Lara Fabien .
Powerhouse! Goodness! Who knew?!?!!! Celine is a fantastic singer but now that I’ve been hearing more of Lara, she blows Celine out of the water not only vocally, but storytelling wise she is just in the song, you don’t see her making choices, she lives every moment. But they do have a similar accent whisky singing.
Thank you my friend Yuri, for listening to my suggestion to react to the Goddess Lara Fabian, in my personal opinion, the best female singer on the planet.... I am biting my nails waiting for your reaction, because I know you are a lover of extraordinary singers like Lara...And in advance, welcome to the fan club of the Goddess!!
Adagio is an italian word, that means "Slowly". This is also used in music to define the pace of a music (a bit slow, between lento and andante) and also as a name of a piece of a sonate, concerto or symphony that is using that specific pace. The music from this song of Lara Fabian is a pop translation of an italian classic piece called "Albinoni's Adagio". It was written in 1958 by Remo Giazotto who was an admirer of Albinoni, a musician from the 17th/18th century. He claimed it was from him and give his music this name but there is consensus today that he most probably has composed it himself. The classic music piece is globally famous and was translated into a pop song for Lara. She wrote lyrics in english and italian for it and is the original performer. She kept the title Adagio and wrote a story with a double meaning: a woman that is awaiting to find her love / an artist that is awaiting the god of inspiration. This song has become a classic and has been covered by many : Shirley Bassey (!!), Dimash, Floor Jansen, Polina Gagarina, Giulia Falcone, Laura Bretan, … They made great covers but none of these match the storytelling amazing performance of Lara in this concert From Lara with Love. Her italian version is also amazing.
@@YBPlaysMusic Hi. You already know the composer Igor Krutoi. He workes with truly talented singers only. And has a lot of works with Lara Fabian, too. Here is the link to Igor's official channel, Lara Fabian performing "Love is like a dream" in russian! ua-cam.com/video/UAFJ_1ghqW8/v-deo.html And the trio of greatest singers Dimash, Lara and Aida on the Igor Krutoi's 60th BirthDay - ua-cam.com/video/VE7zzNoth10/v-deo.html
This song is captivating for so many reasons. It is seen as a love song...and it does seem to be that, in a way, to me, after listening and being moved by and singing it myself over and over and over. BUT it is a "love song" to a sort of muse of creativity. It's like she is, as you say, awaiting the god of inspiration (for creativity). I can SO relate to that, as an artist myself in many forms. This is why it is so powerful to me, I think. It is a longing for something NOT of this world but she relates it to more worldly situations to help translate the message for many (hard to describe in words). This spiritual force is very real and the official video helps show it, too. ua-cam.com/video/NAWQxIq-9-Q/v-deo.html It also shows how magnificent Lara is as a live performer. 'Nuf said.
Hello content que tu est réagi à lara fabian ,j'espère que ru continuera à réagir à lara . Lara est l'idole de dimash ,dumash cedt inspirer de lara fabian . Lara est unique ,elle a une voix magique ,mes surtout elle donne l'émotion par son corps et son visage. Écoute absolument je suis malade en français et caruso en italien même concert que le titre que tu viens d'écouter.
I think Dimash is one of the most talented singers I have ever heard, but for me for this song, despite Dimash's vocal gymnastics, Lara has it hands down! It says it all that Dimash obviously felt he couldn't improve on Lara's presentation of this fantastic song!
I'm very, very attached to Albinoni's Adagio. For me, Fabian's pop interpretation (especially this performance with _this_ orchestration) is the only game in town. Somehow she retains the echo & pulse of the original. No cover yet has managed to even come close to Fabian's. She built it so patiently & meticulously from beginning to end. No gratuitous vocal gymnastics & the pyrotechnics were organic. I really love this performance. Just a little bit. 🤣
@@DoggieFosters a defensive position? Nah not his fan so I don't need to do that. I was making a point that its not appropriate to put down a perfomance just because you liked another one. Nothing absurd there. Goodbye also.
She still sings and yeah one of the best singers in the world. Huge in French speaking countries and yes similarities with Celine. Look her doing Tout, or You Are Not From Here or Je Suis Malade
Hi she from belgium it's next France she talking french english italian...so yes she singer always she have a new album now and the voice it's so beautiful again like this ❤️
Thanks for the nice and knowledgeable reaction video. Not everyone "gets" Lara but you seem to have the musical knowledge, depth and sensitivity to do just that. It is refreshing! Thanks for pointing out some of the highlights. I hope you will react to many more. She is not as popular numbers wise, but it is an important service (IMO) to help people understand just what great music IS by supporting and showing her videos. And it is a great gift to those of us who love this level of timeless musical excellence as well.
Hola a todos !!! estimado, Lara Fabian es única, incomparable, porque cada una tiene su estilo y espacio entre las mejores, el virtuosismo de Lara es infinito, cantante, compositora, arregladora, actriz, porductora canta en varios idiomas, y a eso debemos sumar que es referente de Dimash, el la admira, el cumplió su sueño con ella cuando cantaron Ti amo Cosi, te la recomiendo esa si que es una joyita, cuando la calidad llama se encuentra y ellos se encontraron....cariños desde Chile...
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane! "Je Suis Malade" --> ua-cam.com/video/uGthVEza97U/v-deo.html "You're not from here" --> ua-cam.com/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/v-deo.html "Perdere l'Amore" --> ua-cam.com/video/jJ_k43OOsXU/v-deo.html "Caruso" --> ua-cam.com/video/BP2KnLemT78/v-deo.html
hi, nice choise ;) but i prefer this link that for "je suis malade" cause there is a good translate for no-french people. ua-cam.com/video/dVvlmpo5g9k/v-deo.html&ab_channel=frenchrescue
Not forget Broken vow sung beautifully by Josh Groban too : ua-cam.com/video/FNVR0yK8Ec8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=%D0%A1%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B3%D0%B5%D0%B9%D0%A2%D0%B8%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2 And her first hit song "Tout" : ua-cam.com/video/qMeGcU5FBys/v-deo.html&ab_channel=LaraFabianMultimedia
I checked and the version of Sarah Brightman on Albinoni’s Adagio is hers and not a cover from the version created by Lara. More operatic but definitely a very nice version.
I love your outtakes at the end too. Truly musical people are often left speechless by Lara...lol. Honestly, she moves us to another level of consciousness. Watching a video of her composing, I can see how magical she is at matching words, sounds, notes, etc. for just the right effect on a level we can't even understand sometimes, which is why this song is so moving as well, as it is a cry for the muse of inspiration to help her (sort of).
Nice reaction! BTW, Lara's real name is Lara Crokaert and she is Belgian, but also a naturalized Canadian citizen. She studied since very young at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles and, I believe, is one of its most brilliant alumni.
Lara Fabian lives now definitely in Quebec Canada, she is Canadian citizen , has her house with her daughter and husband , a lot of work on TV at Montreal and cinema and concerts ,
I am always amused when people BEGIN listening to Lara Fabian, and they compare her to Celine Dion. Ms Dion is a fine singer in her own way, but quite frankly, she's not in Lara's class. But then, hardly anybody is. Lara is simply the best, not only as a singer, but even more as a performer. She puts everything she has into every performance. Matchless and inimitable!
Lara is absolutely incredible, yes it’s no wonder why Dimash is so fond of her, she also worked with Igor Krutoy. Je Suis Malade is incredible, from this same performance, so emotional. Ti Amo Cosi is Lara Fabian, Aida Garifullina and Dimash absolutely beautiful trio, full orchestra and figure skating, definitely worth checking out. I missed the livestream unfortunately, sorry. Thank you Yuri ❤️
I appreciate you my brother. Lara Fabian is Head and Shoulders better then Celine Dion ever was. And also the tone of her voice and the way she delivers a song is second to none. They kept larafabian down so Celine Dion could flourish and kept a lot of Fabian in Europe and did not let her thrive in America because they wanted to build Celine Dion up. So sad that they did this to her
Bonjour. Lara est belge. Elle a des racines belges et italienne. Elle a présenté le concours de l’Eurovision l’année où Céline Dion l’a remporté et a fait une place très honorable. Elle est ensuite partie vivre longtemps au Canada puis est revenue en Europe. Aujourd’hui elle vit de nouveau au Canada. Elle a des prestations remarquables. Je vous conseille de regarder également JE SUIS MALADE , TU ES MON AUTRE en duo avec la chanteuse belge Mauranne (malheureusement décédée). Elles étaient très proches amies et bien sûr JE T’AIME. C’est une merveilleuse interprète. Dimash la place dans ses idoles. Profitez bien. Bonjour de France 😻😻
I will attend. BTW, she did write the lyrics in english and italian for this song. She is also an amazing songwriter: she sings in 12 languages and write songs in 4. She wrote Your Love for Dimash 😀 This song was also covered by Floor Jansen and … Shirley Bassey (!!)
Thx for the info, Eric! And yes, I saw someone mention too that Floor covered this song as well! Don't Know Shirley Bassey, guess I will have to check her out.
@@YBPlaysMusic Shirley is a UK legend from the 60s, she was the one singing some of the first James Bond themes ( eg Goldfinger) and she covered Adagio in 2020 when she was 80+ (!!)
@@YBPlaysMusic Bassey is an icon from decades past. That she is still in good voice at her age is stunning. I imagine Fabian was thrilled when Bassey covered her song.
Lara is from BELGIUM, definitely someone to be proud of since you are from Belgium. She’s considered to be one of the best female vocalists in the world. Also, Dimash is a huge fan of hers.
If this is the only song of her you know your in for a surprise. She is from Brussels, Belgian father, Italian mother. Speaks and sings different langues fluently. Living in Canada now.
nice reaction, you hit the point: she is beautiful, good and sweet. it is still sung and it is still beautiful despite an incredible life and since I discovered her I have realized that even if others have talent, no one gives emotions like her. I hope you do other reactions of this splendid creature there are many: Broken vow, pas sans toi, Perdere d'amore, Caruso, and many many others
She is so much better than Celine - so, so, so much better. No disrespect to Celine - Lara is just that good.
Love Lara so much :)
I wholly agree with you. Lara's voice is so much more robust and does not move into a screech or ear piercing nails-on-a-chalkboard and that Behind and Barbara Streisand both have that makes me unable to actually listen to them.

It's not even close. Next to Fabian, Dion sounds like a hamster.
No one… Absolutely “NO ONE” can beat Lara’s version of this song ( actually all her songs ) 😅

More information on Lara Fabian:
Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, ....
In my personal opinion, she is even the best.
There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register.
So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence:
• she speaks 4 languages fluently (french, italian, english, spanish), can speak a bit of sicilian, russian and dutch, and has sung in 12 languages in total
• she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer.
• she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none
• she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens.
A quick background on her and her career:
She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia). She was raised in both countries so she speaks both french and italian as native languages.
She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory.
She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today.
She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada.
She now lives in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship
She became very famous there and then conquered France in 1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music).
In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US.
This concert is legendary and the song you just reviewed is from this concert.
But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan.
She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar thru her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years.
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.
Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban, …
With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there.
Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her.
She is Dimash's idol: I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep.
He covered many of her songs (that she performed originally ; she also wrote some of these).
Out of my mind I can list:
○ Adagio,
○ Mademoiselle Hyde,
○ Know,
○ Love of tired swans
She also wrote the lyrics of his song « Your Love ».
And she covered « Love is like a dream » before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva).
They also performed Ti Amo Cosi together with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitriy Hvorostovsky and Alina Yaroyava then again later with Dmitriy and Sumi Jo, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida.
Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy who came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him.
Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs:
○ 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),

○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you),
○ Julie Anne san Jose (Broken Vow),
○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso),
○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie),
○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow),
○ Forestella (Je suis Malade),
○
○ ....
○
Today, she 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.
Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
wow ❤
Tout est dit. Merci pour elle 👍😻😻
so much text 😂
Hi, Eric!😊 It doesn't make sense to say that she's fluent in French and Italian because as you well know, are her native languages. You could tell people that the 2 are her native languages and that she's fluent in English and Spanish. She speaks Dutch but she doesn't speak Russian. If you consider that she speaks Russian, don't forget about Portuguese (she understands everything and she speaks relatively well). 😉
@@vervideosgiros1156 yes she just said this week indeed, in an interview, that she doesn’t speak russian indeed but sings it and understands it quite well
i really don't get all the fuss about Dimash. but Lara i love...i've known her voice since the 90 because i"m from Quebec where she started her career.
That's ok, I love both😁 I would also agree I prefer Lara's version of this song. But I can't lie, some of the songs and performances I've seen from Dimash seem pretty unmatched in my opinion.
But that's just that of course, my opinion, it's just so interesting to see the different tastes and opinions of so many people😁
lara is amazing...great reaction.....thank you
Top
More of lara ..please
Yuri, surprised you did not know our very own Lara! She is born in Brussels, from a Belgian father and an Italian mother. In the early years of her career, she won the world music award for best selling Benelux artist ;-)
Avec Céline, probablement une des meilleures chanteuses au monde ! la version en italien est sublime aussi ! elle est sur l'album éponyme sortie en 1999 ! piste 13 !!! ;) je regrette tellement que Lara n'a pas cette renommée mondiale qu'elle mérite... LOVE !
Bonsoir, Lara Fabian est française et italienne. Merci pour le partage
Lara ia lhe BEST ONE. No one sing like this Lady.
Celine Dion’s staff was scared of Lara and was the reason she couldn’t penetrate the US market as planned.
But she is a star in many countries. Thru Dimash, many others are rediscovering her.
She has other songs with 20+ seconds notes with modulation up and down. She still sings and had amazing concerts two weeks ago. Still reaching 5th octave with power and resonance.and still the queen of emotions.
She sang in trio with Dimash and another lady (Aida Garafulina) 3 years ago.
She wrote the song Your Love for him and he made many covers of her
Lara is a waaay better singer than Celine Dion could ever wish to be. And Lara is way better than Barbara Streisand too.
I got to dislike Barbara Streisand in the early 80’s when she got more and more over-produced and her sound became very commercial and trite. As for Celine Dion - the first time I ever heard her voice she made me grimace, as her nasal tones and tinny upper notes were just horrid. The weird thing is, that in the past decades, I have cringed at the sound of some female screeching on air. Each time, I’ve asked who’s that? The answer has been Celine Dion. So I guess my initial reaction has remained constant. Ugh!
@@OperaJH I agree with your opinion of Celine Dion and it always annoys me when people compare them. Lara has a richer and more pleasant tone, much more resonance, and far superior artistic skills.
@@ianrobertson2282 Absolutely. I don’t know why people can’t hear the difference…
They were on the same label so Celine management pressured Sony to stop promoting Lara's first english album. Lara may have had success around the world but 20 million albums is not 200 million like Celine so it did affect her career greatly.
@@realmccoy18 yes you are right. But on the other side, she won her freedom, became her own producer, followed her own artistic lane and was not pressured to perform daily in gigantic las Vegas shows. So maybe, ultimately, she did not loose that much, even if she had been very frustrated initially.
Thank You for your beautifull and emotional reaction. I'd like you react to "Requiem pour un fou" with Lara Fabian and Johnny Holliday, you will be crazy of Lara forever, 'I'm sure. Please...!
She is the real deal. No comparison that holds.
Questa è pura musica, un 'altro grande capolavoro, uno dei migliori direi, le sue canzoni le fa vivere per sempre
She is perfection ❤
Lara is a Legend. 💕
nice react!!:)...lara is,for me ,the best voice in the world,react "you are not from here",another incredible performance of lara on her song...very beautiful
The irony is that Lara is a HUGE Celine fan, and it was the record company and press who created a rivalry between them! Lara has even said that when she was asked which singers inspired her she didn't say Celine because they would say that she was copying Celine! That is such an injustice to Lara!!!!!!!!!! Lara & Celine do have some vocal similarities at first , but they have VERY different styles and unique qualities. Lara has a darker richer tone while Celine has more agility. They are quite different when you get to know their voices though! So...I don't understand why people try to pit them against each other, I love them both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good statement.
You're reaction was great. I love seeing others who have the same expressions and reactions to to Lara's voice. It's trully Amazing! Adagio is one of my favorites she sings....
Yes she still siging In June 2022 she made a concert in Montreal, Quebec city and Trois- Rivières . She was a director of a academy named Star Academy in 2020 and 2021 a tv show for young signer .You know now how lucky they are to have Madam Lara Fabian as a director of that academy . Thank you for your reaction .
I am a full fan of madam Lara Fabien .
She WROTE IT and she's the original singer. Dimash is a fan of Lara since he was a young boy.
That was simply a master class.
She's the best !
Bienvenue au club des dingues de Lara Fabian!
One of the best reactions I’ve seen for this song! 🫶🏼
Adagio for Lara is the best
Oh how beautiful.!!!!!!! She has Duets with Dimash. You must listen to her and Dimash singing "Know"
Please more Lara Fabián.. jesui malade next song .. is amazing
Powerhouse! Goodness! Who knew?!?!!! Celine is a fantastic singer but now that I’ve been hearing more of Lara, she blows Celine out of the water not only vocally, but storytelling wise she is just in the song, you don’t see her making choices, she lives every moment. But they do have a similar accent whisky singing.
CARUSO por Lara reacción
This is a stelar performance wow love this
Thank you my friend Yuri, for listening to my suggestion to react to the Goddess Lara Fabian, in my personal opinion, the best female singer on the planet.... I am biting my nails waiting for your reaction, because I know you are a lover of extraordinary singers like Lara...And in advance, welcome to the fan club of the Goddess!!
Thank you too! Awesome that you're that excited to see the video! ;) A couple more minutes to go! :D
@@YBPlaysMusic I'm here my friend!!
She is Belgian from birth. Her father is Belgian, her mother Italian. Speaks fluand four languaches, sings in 13.
Your reaction, body language and words alike, says it all : Dimash is circus, she is life.
circus in your head
Adagio is an italian word, that means "Slowly".
This is also used in music to define the pace of a music (a bit slow, between lento and andante) and also as a name of a piece of a sonate, concerto or symphony that is using that specific pace.
The music from this song of Lara Fabian is a pop translation of an italian classic piece called "Albinoni's Adagio". It was written in 1958 by Remo Giazotto who was an admirer of Albinoni, a musician from the 17th/18th century. He claimed it was from him and give his music this name but there is consensus today that he most probably has composed it himself.
The classic music piece is globally famous and was translated into a pop song for Lara. She wrote lyrics in english and italian for it and is the original performer.
She kept the title Adagio and wrote a story with a double meaning: a woman that is awaiting to find her love / an artist that is awaiting the god of inspiration.
This song has become a classic and has been covered by many : Shirley Bassey (!!), Dimash, Floor Jansen, Polina Gagarina, Giulia Falcone, Laura Bretan, …
They made great covers but none of these match the storytelling amazing performance of Lara in this concert From Lara with Love.
Her italian version is also amazing.
Goddamn, Eric! Can you give me an hour or so to read all of your comments? :p Thx for all the info, really appreciate it! ;)
@@YBPlaysMusic Eric's comments are all the same : you read one, you read them all ^^^
@@YBPlaysMusic Hi.
You already know the composer Igor Krutoi.
He workes with truly talented singers only. And has a lot of works with Lara Fabian, too.
Here is the link to Igor's official channel, Lara Fabian performing "Love is like a dream" in russian!
ua-cam.com/video/UAFJ_1ghqW8/v-deo.html
And the trio of greatest singers Dimash, Lara and Aida on the Igor Krutoi's 60th BirthDay - ua-cam.com/video/VE7zzNoth10/v-deo.html
This song is captivating for so many reasons. It is seen as a love song...and it does seem to be that, in a way, to me, after listening and being moved by and singing it myself over and over and over. BUT it is a "love song" to a sort of muse of creativity. It's like she is, as you say, awaiting the god of inspiration (for creativity). I can SO relate to that, as an artist myself in many forms. This is why it is so powerful to me, I think. It is a longing for something NOT of this world but she relates it to more worldly situations to help translate the message for many (hard to describe in words). This spiritual force is very real and the official video helps show it, too. ua-cam.com/video/NAWQxIq-9-Q/v-deo.html It also shows how magnificent Lara is as a live performer. 'Nuf said.
@@bernardachour614 you are poor reader then....improve :P
She still sings and she's still amazing 😉
The best ❤❤❤❤
She is still singing and she is training her voice at least 3 times a week.
Try "je suis malade-Lara Fabian" WITH SUBTITLES
"Broken vow" from the same concert and "Je t'aime " live in Paris 2001
Hello content que tu est réagi à lara fabian ,j'espère que ru continuera à réagir à lara .
Lara est l'idole de dimash ,dumash cedt inspirer de lara fabian .
Lara est unique ,elle a une voix magique ,mes surtout elle donne l'émotion par son corps et son visage.
Écoute absolument je suis malade en français et caruso en italien même concert que le titre que tu viens d'écouter.
ua-cam.com/video/9W830CUBuXo/v-deo.html
nice
Next please react "Je Suis Malade" really amazing.
I think Dimash is one of the most talented singers I have ever heard, but for me for this song, despite Dimash's vocal gymnastics, Lara has it hands down! It says it all that Dimash obviously felt he couldn't improve on Lara's presentation of this fantastic song!
Yeah he'll obv say that about any song he covers out of humility
I'm very, very attached to Albinoni's Adagio. For me, Fabian's pop interpretation (especially this performance with _this_ orchestration) is the only game in town. Somehow she retains the echo & pulse of the original. No cover yet has managed to even come close to Fabian's. She built it so patiently & meticulously from beginning to end. No gratuitous vocal gymnastics & the pyrotechnics were organic.
I really love this performance. Just a little bit. 🤣
@@DoggieFosters Respect ur preference. But no need to put down other perfomances to emphasise how good this is.
@@flawlezzromeo1777 That you jumped from my comment to such a defensive response says everything. Absurd.
Goodbye.
@@DoggieFosters a defensive position? Nah not his fan so I don't need to do that. I was making a point that its not appropriate to put down a perfomance just because you liked another one. Nothing absurd there. Goodbye also.
❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️
Lara Fabian the most wonderful performer and singer there is. Welcome to her rabbithole. ❤️ By the way. Who is Celine Dion?😉
❤❤❤
Dimash cannot be compared in any way to this great world star Lara Fabian.
The next one for you to see is Requiem pour un fou, that’s a duet with legend Johnny Hallyday
She still sings and yeah one of the best singers in the world. Huge in French speaking countries and yes similarities with Celine. Look her doing Tout, or You Are Not From Here or Je Suis Malade
Greetings from Vietnam 🇻🇳. Lara is fantastic. Please react to “ Caruso “. You will enjoy her voice again. Thank you for the reaction. 100 likes.
Hi she from belgium it's next France she talking french english italian...so yes she singer always she have a new album now and the voice it's so beautiful again like this ❤️
Thanks for the nice and knowledgeable reaction video. Not everyone "gets" Lara but you seem to have the musical knowledge, depth and sensitivity to do just that. It is refreshing! Thanks for pointing out some of the highlights. I hope you will react to many more. She is not as popular numbers wise, but it is an important service (IMO) to help people understand just what great music IS by supporting and showing her videos. And it is a great gift to those of us who love this level of timeless musical excellence as well.
Come on Belgium !
I think Lara in female and Dimash in male, are singers that touch your soul when they sings
Hola a todos !!! estimado, Lara Fabian es única, incomparable, porque cada una tiene su estilo y espacio entre las mejores, el virtuosismo de Lara es infinito, cantante, compositora, arregladora, actriz, porductora canta en varios idiomas, y a eso debemos sumar que es referente de Dimash, el la admira, el cumplió su sueño con ella cuando cantaron Ti amo Cosi, te la recomiendo esa si que es una joyita, cuando la calidad llama se encuentra y ellos se encontraron....cariños desde Chile...
ua-cam.com/video/9W830CUBuXo/v-deo.html
Is that cool that she has a Belgium root in her? She is one of the great vocalists!!!
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane!

React to Caruso song ! She’s unbelievable !!! 🤩
I will attend. Thanks!
I checked and the version of Sarah Brightman on Albinoni’s Adagio is hers and not a cover from the version created by Lara. More operatic but definitely a very nice version.
I love your outtakes at the end too. Truly musical people are often left speechless by Lara...lol. Honestly, she moves us to another level of consciousness. Watching a video of her composing, I can see how magical she is at matching words, sounds, notes, etc. for just the right effect on a level we can't even understand sometimes, which is why this song is so moving as well, as it is a cry for the muse of inspiration to help her (sort of).
Nice reaction! BTW, Lara's real name is Lara Crokaert and she is Belgian, but also a naturalized Canadian citizen. She studied since very young at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles and, I believe, is one of its most brilliant alumni.
something most don't talk about is the Lara Fabian was one of the writers of this song and the first to release it.
Listen to her sing this in Italian. She's absolutely amazing. Love her!
Yaaaay i loved ur sincere reaction to this!!!😍 Well i knew from the beginning that i will love it hahaha
Lara Fabian lives now definitely in Quebec Canada, she is Canadian citizen , has her house with her daughter and husband , a lot of work on TV at Montreal and cinema and concerts ,
Lara is Belgian/Canadian. If no one has mentioned it and she speaks at a minimum 4 languages and sings them even more beautiful.
I am always amused when people BEGIN listening to Lara Fabian, and they compare her to Celine Dion. Ms Dion is a fine singer in her own way, but quite frankly, she's not in Lara's class. But then, hardly anybody is. Lara is simply the best, not only as a singer, but even more as a performer. She puts everything she has into every performance. Matchless and inimitable!
Yes....that is the truth....the soul means everytning...
Lara is absolutely incredible, yes it’s no wonder why Dimash is so fond of her, she also worked with Igor Krutoy. Je Suis Malade is incredible, from this same performance, so emotional. Ti Amo Cosi is Lara Fabian, Aida Garifullina and Dimash absolutely beautiful trio, full orchestra and figure skating, definitely worth checking out. I missed the livestream unfortunately, sorry. Thank you Yuri ❤️

❤❤❤Thank you for reacting on amazing Lara❤❤❤❤
Yw Clara! Hope you can join the premiere tomorrow😌
@@YBPlaysMusic 🥰🥰🥰🥰
she is similar to Celine - but Lara is 100% even better
I appreciate you my brother. Lara Fabian is Head and Shoulders better then Celine Dion ever was. And also the tone of her voice and the way she delivers a song is second to none. They kept larafabian down so Celine Dion could flourish and kept a lot of Fabian in Europe and did not let her thrive in America because they wanted to build Celine Dion up. So sad that they did this to her
But it is good that WE know how it happened and WE prefer LARA, because she is really a wonderful, soulful great woman and singer :)
More of Lara Please! She's really incredible
Desde chile......conoces al grupo "los jaivas"......tema."mira niñita"...me parece que te podrias sorprender.....
Bonjour. Lara est belge. Elle a des racines belges et italienne. Elle a présenté le concours de l’Eurovision l’année où Céline Dion l’a remporté et a fait une place très honorable. Elle est ensuite partie vivre longtemps au Canada puis est revenue en Europe. Aujourd’hui elle vit de nouveau au Canada. Elle a des prestations remarquables. Je vous conseille de regarder également JE SUIS MALADE , TU ES MON AUTRE en duo avec la chanteuse belge Mauranne (malheureusement décédée). Elles étaient très proches amies et bien sûr JE T’AIME. C’est une merveilleuse interprète. Dimash la place dans ses idoles. Profitez bien. Bonjour de France 😻😻
React to Lara singing Je Suis Malade. You’ll see her unique talent to interpret a song and connect with an audience.
I will attend.
BTW, she did write the lyrics in english and italian for this song.
She is also an amazing songwriter: she sings in 12 languages and write songs in 4. She wrote Your Love for Dimash 😀
This song was also covered by Floor Jansen and … Shirley Bassey (!!)
Thx for the info, Eric! And yes, I saw someone mention too that Floor covered this song as well! Don't Know Shirley Bassey, guess I will have to check her out.
@@YBPlaysMusic Shirley is a UK legend from the 60s, she was the one singing some of the first James Bond themes ( eg Goldfinger) and she covered Adagio in 2020 when she was 80+ (!!)
@@Veganismmmm we have different taste then, it happens, not a big deal 😀
@@YBPlaysMusic Bassey is an icon from decades past. That she is still in good voice at her age is stunning. I imagine Fabian was thrilled when Bassey covered her song.
FYI She will have a concert in Charleroi late september to kick off the european part of her tour. And she still sings amazingly.
Lara entra in quella categoria di alto livello, mi dispiace dirlo ma purtroppo non tutti possono arrivare a questi livelli
Lara is from BELGIUM, definitely someone to be proud of since you are from Belgium. She’s considered to be one of the best female vocalists in the world. Also, Dimash is a huge fan of hers.
ua-cam.com/video/9W830CUBuXo/v-deo.html
And she has her Canadian citizenship since 1995 ande she lives in the french speaking province of Québec . That is were she started her career.
51 now living in guebeq very humble
52. (If it matters...) 😁 And as gorgeous as ever.
Dimash is a huge fan of Lara's.
of Lara's what?
@@MisterHowzat FAN and also a FRIEND with LARA.
If this is the only song of her you know your in for a surprise. She is from Brussels, Belgian father, Italian mother. Speaks and sings different langues fluently. Living in Canada now.
Such a good reaction !
nice reaction, you hit the point: she is beautiful, good and sweet. it is still sung and it is still beautiful despite an incredible life and since I discovered her I have realized that even if others have talent, no one gives emotions like her. I hope you do other reactions of this splendid creature there are many: Broken vow, pas sans toi, Perdere d'amore, Caruso, and many many others
