Some more info on Lara: 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, .... We can debate her rank in this list (in my personal view she tops these) but she is there. There are also a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing 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 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) and has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing song writer and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks. She often co-compose 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, 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 if I remember well (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. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, reached number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart 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 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 spngs 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 UK 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 wrote and performed originally). 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 ». She covered « Love is like a dream » before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva) And they performed Ti Amo Cosi together with Aida Garafulina. This is a song that she wrote with Igor Krutoy and performed initially with Dmitriy Hvorostovsky and Alina Yaroyava. Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy. 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) • Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade) • .... Today, she is 52 yo but she his still singing with her resonant belts, her magnificent tone, her stage presence, her artistry, her commitments to lyrics, story and emotions. She has used her vocal skills to work around the impact of ageing on her voice. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara. If you explore more of her songs, you will soon be hooked, I'm sure.
Scoring this song is just insane. It's like scoring a Manet or an opera from Mozart. A lot of English-speaking people doesn't understand nor feel French culture. They don't even know how to open their mind or sensibility. This interpretation is the " summum" and pushed that song to pure art.
Best performance by the best singer singing a masterpiece, one of the most beautiful songs ever written, better than anyone who has ever sung it. There is no score high enough for Lara ever.
That’s the problem when one doesn’t have the emotional range to deal with this. And when someone can seriously state « obviously I don’t listen to anyone singing in French », clearly you are not up for a treat.
Of course this performance is a 10+, one of the greatest performances of all time. Maybe you would prefer "Adagio". You may have heard Dimash sing it and during Lara's performance you will be able to tell where Dimash got his inspiration. Don't worry, it is in English. You can see a performance of Dimash and his idol Lara together in a different song. Lara also wrote the lyrics for Dimash's song "Your Love".
@Still Racer Haha, well, we know you are biased and you know we have done many reactions to songs what we have no idea what they are singing about, Dimash being one of them and we came to appreciate him the more we watched and it will probably be the same with Lara, this was perhaps just not the right song style for us to start on. Thanks for the comment and the support.
@@BritPopsReact It’s obviously ok to not like this song or even the performance but it’s actually considered as one of the best performances in music history by most (outstanding technique and storytelling skills, intense interpretation, beautiful voice + powerful song), not just her fans.
@@neila.5_209 Je Suis Malade was my gateway drug to Fabian. It remains the MOST ASTONISHING marriage of perfect technical control/huge technique toolbox and otherworldly stage performance skills I've ever encountered. I was so curious about it, I tracked down multiple Serge Lama performances over preceeding decades to compare & contrast. Fabian tweaked it pretty substantially though subtly and always brilliantly: from tempo, to orchestration, to a capella sections, to phrasing. All to amazing effect. I think because she is a composr/lyricist herself, she knows what will "work." Story is all, vocal acrobatics for the sake of pyrotechnics have no place in her performances, ever. I do admit that I'm surprised @Brit Pops React were unmoved by the song. That's unusual. 🤷🏻♀️ Adagio is likewise brilliant with it's meticulous, patient build to the climax. I hope they do react to it. Albinoni's Adagio has long been my favorite neo"classical" piece, and Fabian's original pop treatment of it somehow retains an echo of the source, something all of the covers lose along the way. It's gorgeous. The live band/orchestration for it in the concert From Lara From Love was particularly on point. 👍
It's really good... But I've heard better ones. Obviously with only 50 years of music experience my opinion isn't that important, but I've seen some performances in that time topping this one. But, yeah... It's extraordinary.. 🙂
Here's a comparison for you. Lara Fabian is like Pink Floyd. She's not just a musician... She's an experience! This song may not have resonated with you but for millions they could listen to this song over and over for hours. Perhaps it is to deep for you? If you are looking for a particular genre, Lara can do any and all of them. Scoring songs (8.2) is ridiculous. This isn't an Olympics gymnastics competition. Maybe instead of reacting to music you should try sports.
I suggested them to view '' Opera singer '' ou Andyjonesofficial '' for an exhaustive review of the song '' je suis malade'' . This song is an important part of the French language repertoire, to the same level as '' ne me quitte pas '' from Jacques Brel.
Completely agree with you. One of the weirdest reactions to this masterpiece. Could Adele sing like that ? As far as she is a good singer, I highly doubt that she could move that way and have a 16 seconds belt at the end. Brits are sometimes funny but fortunately, some other british vocal coaches were deeply touched by her interpretation and even cried while watching the performance.
@@conscienceetintuition9350 Les goûts, les couleurs... Perso Pink Floyd est juste au dessus de tout... Donc la comparaison du message original est douteuse pour moi... Surtout que "normalement" tout spectacle devrait être une "expérience" hein... C'est le principe... Mais mettre l’expérience "Lara" au même titre que l’expérience Pink Floyd c'est pousser le bouchon un peu loin... Au niveau de la performance elle est top, technique vocale top etc. Mais c'est pas comparable. Surtout qu'au moins dans les expériences "Pink Floyd" ils faisaient tout, du concept a la musique, en passant par les paroles et le chant. Ah c'est sur en vocal ils compètent pas avec Lara, mais c'est pas non plus le même "délire". Sur cette réaction en particulier, oui je suis plus ému en voyant la perf de Lara, mais aussi parce qu'en tant que français je n'ai aucun effort pour ressentir les paroles, ça aide. Si ils sont passés a coté, bin... "Tant pis pour eux"... On doit passer a coté de trucs qu'ils aiment. Je vous trouve un peu "fragiles" avec nos cousins britishes... On a fait la paix il y a longtemps, on peut se dire les trucs sans s'invectiver. (Je dis ça parce que je m’énerve souvent :) ).
@@conscienceetintuition9350 Puis accessoirement leur générique c'est "Oasis"... Quand on aime "Oasis" c'est qu'on a des goûts de chiottes... hahaha non je blague... C’était pour troller.
Born in Belgium , Canadian since 1995. Two native languages : french from her father and italian from her sicilian mother. Fluent in english and spanish. Sings in twelve languages.
Lara is a story teller when she sings. She goes in & out of what is known as “speech singing”, not everyone can do so: Dolly Parton “speech sings” also, it’s easy to be caught in the story, and sort of “she’s singing” moment that goes off in one’s mind. Vastly different ladies, different styles, different ages, but both are song writers that take listeners on a journey when singing. Dolly turned 78 & released her Rock N Roll album “Rock Star” with 30 tracks. There are 21 collaboration with the Who’s Who of Rock Stars, and 9 originals. All proceeds go to charity. Lara did a cover of her “I will always love you”, following Whitney’s version mostly. But, Lara removed the saxophone session, and replaced it featuring an electric guitar.
And a last one for you guys ( in english) : "You're not from here." This one should ring a bell for you. Best regards from Québec (I'm french speaking) city Canada.
Lara Fabian is not Belgium-Canadian but Italian-Belgian naturalized in canada.. Born in Belgium, her Childhood lives in Italy on her mother's side then moved to Canada. Sing in all languages
By heritage, Lara is Italian. Everyone want's to claim her. France, Belgium, Canada, Fabian is her mother's and grand mother's median name. She spent time in Sicily as a young girl living with her grandmother. In the Latin culture, you are what your mother's heritage is. And most don't take the fathers name. I know my wife was Portuguese and wasn't given her fathers last name until she emigrated to the U.S. And Immigration insisted she take her fathers name. Lara Fabian is the greatest female voice of this generation. And maybe several other generations as well.
It sounds so dramatic and the way she sings it is out of this world. Now about the song: This is a cover. The original singer is called Serge Lama and it was released in the 1970's. It was covered by many french singers. BP2: You should see yourself with jaw down as she sings the last note. By the way, I speak french & English as I told you before: I'm from Tunisia (North Africa, in case you wonder).Cheers guys!
I've lost track of how many times I've watched this performance. I've also seen at least 30 reactions to this, and I've never seen a reaction that has rated it below a 9.5! In fact, the vast majority send it beyond 10, and the educated professionals consider it flawless, while also describing it as a master class in technique.
@Mason Steele Totally understandable and fair comment, however, nowhere did we claim to be professionals in anything. We are just guys checking out new artists and music and give our honest thoughts on hearing something for the first time. We know nothing about technique so we would be lying if we even tried to talk about that, but we know we we like and what sounds nice and that is what we based our FUN score on. Seems a lot of Lara fans are very sensitive. We also react to Dimash and were not that taken on our first listen but the more we got to know him and his different styles, the more we appreciated his music and talent. Also the same for Nightwish and they are one of our favourite bands, so we maybe just need to hear more from Lara and find the right songs. Good thing we are thick skinned and do not get offended by all the over protective comments. Thanks for checking out the channel and the support, maybe have a look around and get to know our style of reacting. Cheers
@@BritPopsReact I agree completely with Mason Steele’s comments. If you want to broaden your musical horizons, watch some of the reactions (to this performance) done by voice coaches and singers. As far as other performances by Lara Fabian are concerned, I suggest you find a recording of her singing the song “Caruso”. She has recorded it in both English and Italian, so hopefully you will find a copy in English so you won’t have to deal with subtitles. Then I suggest you look for a video of her performing “Je t’aimes” (which translates to “I love you”) from prior to 2000. Watch that to get a feel for the song. THEN watch the video of her “Live in Paris” in 2001. That performance came at a period of great turmoil in her life and the audience response was amazing.
@@BritPopsReact I totally appreciate your thoughtful reply. As for Dimash, I honestly can't listen to him. I've tried eight different performances, and I only find them emotionally disingenuous. He clearly has range, skills, but his attempts at emoting a lyrical story is mostly quite mechanical, with exaggerated vocal tricks, which I find off-putting. Of course, that's subjective to some extent. IMO, Dimash on his best day, would never even approach Lara's innate ability to connect to a lyric. I completely concur with you guys on Nightwish, Angelina Jordan, and Courtney Hadwin! Cheers!😊✌
@Mason Steele Cheers Mason, for us the songs from Dimash that caught our attention, were his more Pop style songs with the Music Video's. OK not in the same league as this from Lara, but it got us to take more interest and check out music we probably never would have tried before. Thanks for checking out our other videos too. You probably realise by now, we don't actually know what we are talking about half the time, just having fun and discovering new artists almost on daily basis. Cheers and hope to hear from you on other reactions.
When I heard this song for the first time, I was crying (Without understanding a single word!). In my opinion Lara Fabian is one of the best singers in the world. Thank you for reacting to her song. Greetings from Denmark!
Best live singer on par with Whitney Houston. No one else compares! It’s a great song actually. I’ve listened to her singing this more than any other song. It’s literally the best live rendition of anything!!! Not only does she sing unbelievably well but she’s a master storyteller. As a composer I give it a 10/10
it's a song about a breakup that kills you slowly and makes you sick. the impact of the words in French is even more powerful and it's a man who wrote this song about his feelings of despair and you haven't heard the duet : Johnny Hallyday & Lara Fabian "Requiem pour un fou" Stade de France 1998 - Subtitles
Lara's interpretation here, is in a very traditional french style. To understand better, you have to listen Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Jacques Brel, Barbara....words and feelings are more important than voice and music. Then if we have everything together.... it's just pure Art! 🇨🇵
If a song is emotional and dramatic it belongs in a musical and is not a real 'song'? "A poem or words set to music" is the dictionary definition.What I suspect you meant to say was that it does not have a catchy hook, beat, or melody and makes you uncomfortable so you don't want to put it on repeat time after time and dance around the living room. This makes it a song, art, and life changing. It is therefore not less than a song but more than and if anything needs to be graded on a different spectrum perhaps?
She sings in 11 languages and speaks 5 fluently --I believe. Her mother was Italian and Father, Belgian, but she loved Quebec -- and they love her! (See "fans support Lara") video.
You have opened up a huge Rabbit Hole. If not the best, one of the top Female singers, artists, performers, and storytellers in the World. Enjoy, You will have an amazing journey. Love from Montreal, Canada Lara is a Belgium Canadian singer-writer
She is sick from loss of a great love. Most people assume it is a lover, but it is the death & complete loss of her mother. Lara was born in Belgium, but moved to Italy & lived her Mother & Grandmother. Song writers & singers manage their emotions by expressing emotions through their artistry.
Oke, 😂 that's the weirdest explanation I've heard of the song. You usually don't sleep with your mum, and don't sing about "like my mum" if you actually sing about her. Just saying... 😉
@Peter Richards Again, a bit of an acquired taste on the song, we appreciated the talent. You wouldn't think so based on some of the feedback. Good thing BP1 went easy!!
I was very surprised by your score, when I add a point somewhere or remove a point, it must have some logic. I, as a professional musician, can only evaluate according to precise criteria. By this I mean, firstly, intonation in my opinion 10 points, secondly, rhythmic feeling in my opinion 10 points, thirdly speech in my opinion 10 points, fourthly artistic impression 10 points, Fifthly, phrasing 10 points, Words 10 points, melody 10 points and overall impression 10 points. So please tell me where you got the points?
One of the greatest live performances EVER and you would not watch it again!???? Ugh! What else has she done? never mind just go back to watching your Dimash vids!
It's interesting your take on the song. Honestly for me the first time I watched this performance the first thing that came to my mind was Fantine from Les Miserables and the song "I Dreamed A Dream". This song was not actually written by her but by a guy coming out of a difficult relationship. But in many ways she's transformed it in her delivery into a song your expect to hear in a musical. And so it was written in a modern context. But for me the way Lara sings it out makes me think of perhaps a character in a story, perhaps a singer in a bar in a French port, who's fallen for a guy who will never truly love her back. She is definitely one of the best at telling the story of a song and sharing the emotions of song I've ever heard. "Adagio", "Caruso" and "Broken Vow" are other songs I'd recommend from this same concert.
Everyone has someone they absolutely adore, whether for the voice, the presence, whatever. They will praise and defend that person to the death. Lara is a fabulous singer. Great voice, and she sings with such emotion. That said, I've heard a couple of her songs, and while, again, fabulous, she is not my favourite. Everyone doesn't have the same criteria for their favourite. If they did, the world would be beige.
Of course. You can not consider her your fav. What annoys so many people (like myself), is people always comparing her to Dimash, or Céline Dion, or Barbra Streisand, or Floor Jansen, or whatever!
Lara Fabian is an absolutely great singer. She has a great voice and the full control of her! You know, this is a chanson! Not any mix or Lalala. You feel the sadness and pain of this woman! Her heart is broken!!💔😢 When you don't feel that you are a rock. "A rock feels no pain and an island never cries" Simon & Garfunkel
I just discovered your channel and I really enjoyed your honest reaction. As a french, I'd like to precise a few things, the first being about Lara, the second about the lyrics. First, Lara is typicaly what we would call here in France an "Interpreter". In french, we make a difference between "un chanteur" (male) (or "une chanteuse" (female)), that you could basicaly translate as "a singer", and "un interprète" (which translates as "an interpreter" but in french the meaning is closer to "a performer"). Lara is "une interprète", which means she ties singing with a personal way of giving life to the song. As you say, it's quite close to what you would call "a musical" in english, but this is a very traditional way of singing in France that was/is used by some of the greatest french singing artits (Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour, Barbara to cite a few). Not that many people are able to do this with most of the songs they sing but Lara does. The second point is about the Lyrics. In french, "malade" doesn't only means "sick", this is a generic word with multiple interpretations that goes from "unwell" to "sick" and "crazy/mad" and this means alot in the song. We commonly agree that as the songs goes on, the meaning of "malade" goes from a word to another (in the mentioned order) to reach a breaking point at the end, making the lyrics even more subtle and hard that it can seem at first. I hope these precisions help (and that my explanations makes sense ^^). Love from France !
Thank you for presenting this Lara Fabian video to us. I know the both of you are very honest and that is to be appreciated even if we don't agree with your analysis. Well, I'm going to take this opportunity to be honest with you. Do you or don't you score the artist? Please tell us she should get a 10 WITHOUT QUESTION. She was absolutely spectacular! The song, itself, was a real tearjerker and the way she told the story with her voice and body language created a listening moment which captivates us and locks us in. There will always be time to watch an accomplished, great artist sing a tragic song in a way that brings tears to one's eyes. Her artistry obviously impressed Dimash to a degree that actually put the finishing touches on how he performs on stage and tells a story while he's singing. How can you possible compare this song to another song which demands rhyme and a consistent beat? Turn on the radio for that stuff. This was a classic, a very unique one, and should be regarded as one. I have a feeling you guys are split on this one. To keep harmony on camera I believe won out but, privately, I think you both came away from the song with different feelings. Lastly, did you see how the crowd reacted? They couldn't wait till they got the chance to leap out of their chairs to give her a standing ovation. And, at the very end of the video when you saw Lara standing there quietly while the crowd was going nuts, I don't believe she was regaining her breath. She was attempting to come out of the song. She had been emotionally spent during the performance. And, the whole ending sequence was breathtaking. I can't separate the artist from the song so I have to give the whole package a 10.
Please react to Lara’s “Je T’aime(live concert)”. The fans show how much they love her. Please turn on the English subtitles. It’s really really amazing and stunning. 🙏🙏🙏
Broken Vow, not upbeat, but in English. Lara is incredible and you definitely can see her influence on Dimash. Adagio is her song, it would be interesting to see both of you react to Lara’s, and Dimash‘s, not as a comparison though. They have performed together Ti Amo Cosi, with Aida Garifullina, absolutely incredible.
@Janet Lawson Hello Janet and thank you for the information. We will certainly note down you recommendations and try to follow up soon. Thank you for watching.
Several others have recommended Lara’s “Broken Vow” and “Adagio,” which are great songs. (Josh Groban also did a great cover of “Broken Vow.”) But I heartily recommend you listen to “Ti Amo Cosi” performed by Lara, Dimash and Aida Garifullina at Igor Krutoy’s 65th birthday celebration. It’s amazing.
Thank you gents for the great reaction. FYI - Everyone knows the French song ua-cam.com/video/l826rlBOn9w/v-deo.html - Lara Fabian - "Je T'aime" (I Love you) - (In French with English subtitle). Lara wrote this, it is a must watch. Lara is famously linked with Dimash, he has talked openly about how she is his idol, and having done many of her songs, + their duets and the joint collaboration with the great Igor Krutoy. She adores Dimash btw. But her influence is well beyond Dimash - Morissette Amon, Sohyang, Diana Ankudinova and many more count Lara as a, or the, key inspiration. It seems the children of Lara are taking over. Thank you again for the reaction to Lara's interpretation of the French classic "Je Suis Malade". It is a captivating masterclass in singing, technique, stage presence, pitch, diction, drama, motion and more. Memorizing. In voice alone she is in my view the 4th member of the holy trinity and even in that group she is #1. Lara is the Queen, long may she reign, the O.G. of modern pop\concert. Most of links in this post below are newly restored and of high quality and, importantly, all have English subtitles when not sung in English. Have fun... "Adagio" -ua-cam.com/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/v-deo.html - is a beautiful and powerful song, a very old classical piece written by Tomaso Albinoni (most would say) which she resurrected and wrote lyrics to. Her biggest hit really, and an insane demonstration of vocal flawlessness and passion by our then young Queen...long may she reign. ua-cam.com/video/BP2KnLemT78/v-deo.html - turn CC on - Lara Fabian - "Caruso" (In Italian with English lyrics translations) Great Song about the great Caruso's dying days with his young wife. An Italian classic covered by, well, everybody. Lara crushes it. Best version ever and that includes Pavarotti, whom I adore, so I am saying a lot there. ua-cam.com/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/v-deo.html - Lara Fabian-Concert From Lara With Love "Broken Vow" (English) She wrote this, bring tissue. ua-cam.com/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/v-deo.html - turn CC on - Lara Fabian "Perdere L'amore"...Losing Love... (Italian with English subs) Another Italian classic, destroyed by Lara in perfect Italian. ua-cam.com/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/v-deo.html "You're Not From Here" English - Maybe my favorite Lara song. The 100th time you see\hear it will still feel like the first. Lara is definitely the deep end of the pool. ua-cam.com/video/DuSDdjU4S8M/v-deo.html - Lara Fabian- "Mademoiselle Hyde" - live 2016 (In English with Deutsch/Português subs) She co-wrote this with the maestro, Igor Krutoy. This is the most recent of the videos (2016) and shows a maturing Lara killing it. Great song, evocative, and as always, Lara sells it. ua-cam.com/video/l826rlBOn9w/v-deo.html - Lara Fabian - "Je T'aime" (I Love you) - (In French with English subtitle) Everyone in France knows this song. She wrote it. Two versions here. One, here in this paragraph, is a great version in its own right, the second is from a live performance where the audience takes over the song and sings "We love you" to Lara in place over the actual lyrics "I love you" and a broken up Lara attempts to sing counterpart to her adoring audience. Tissues required. I recommend doing the last one, the 2nd version of "Je T'aime" below.....last. By then, you will be in a life long relationship with Lara. ua-cam.com/video/J309uTn8EsU/v-deo.html - Lara Fabian - Je t'aime _ with English subtitles maybe watch this last (see one up from here for "why").
Lara originated several songs in English: "Adagio" & " Broken Vow" & "Love by Grace." A favorite of mine is "You're Not From Here.". In Spanish "Tango Mi Amore" sizzles. In Italian "Caruso" is amazing
You know there are billions of people on this planet who don't speak English and yet listen to songs in English. Your argument really spoke to me, I'm sure I'm not the only one. Try to be curious, and you'll see it won't hurt you, quite the contrary.
For me she's amazing and like Dimash she doesn't just sing but tells us a story. Maybe you could react to "Caruso"; this one is in italian. Thank you for reacting to our requests.
This is more of a theatrical performance, not wallpaper pop music you would listen to on the radio. It requires more focused attention and the willingness to submerge yourself in anothers experience. You might enjoy Je T'aime, since you are familiar with it, her concert version. ua-cam.com/video/JoZ6P6ihzCU/v-deo.html She also wrote Broken Vow which is in English, the concert version is very good. However, I think this sort of display of emotion is not a British thing, generally. C'est pas votre truc, as the French would say.
Lara writes music in many languages and you can understand her in each song. That’s not true of some other musicians such as Dimash. He hits lots of notes but I don’t always feel he hits the language.
Dimash may not hit the language but he sing with emotion . He sang love of tired Swans better than Lara , love is like a dream, know also Vocalize. He sang IKANAIDE in perfect japanese in 2021 for Tokyo Jazz festival full of emotion. He sang Adagio in 2017 in China only his English is not perfect because it's the first time he sang in English and he can't speak English at all , now his English is better and I would say he sang Adagio better than Lara. God blessed you. This is my personal opinion.
Lara es una de las grandes! Reacionen a Broken Vow (inglés), Caruso (italiano), Adagio (inglés) del mismo concierto: From Lara with love Saludos desde Barcelona 👋
Other songs you guys will want to react to, all from this concert “From Lara with Love” are Adagio, Caruso, Broken vow, Perdere l’amore, and You’re not from here. And then from other live performances she did i’d recommend Ave Maria, Tango, Je t’aime (specifically from the concert “Nue” Live in Paris, 2002), Extrait de Yentl, and Mademoiselle Hyde. And those are just a few recommendations from her 30 years carreer span.
One of my favourite singers (along with Dimash - their duet of "Vocalise Know" or trio Lara Fabian, Dimash Kudaibergen and Aida Garifulina "Ti aAmo Cosi" would surprise you :). She's amazing!
BP2, you know « je t’aime » ? Try her version of this song ! That whole show was so special ! A masterpiece! You have to listen to all of them…french, english, italian…! Cheers
you must listen to her incredible song ''Adagio'', it's really Beautiful, even Floor from Nightwish covert it, she is one of the most Perfect singers around, Her Voice is Pure, full Emotions.
Thanks for reacting to Lara! To me she's one of the best storytellers on stage, because she masters her vocal technique so well that she can focus on the rest. English performance you can react to could be "Adagio" ( later covered by Dimash & Floor): ua-cam.com/video/jKtNuLG5jAo/v-deo.html , and if you want to see her sing with Dimash, then "Ti amo cosi" is the performance to watch: ua-cam.com/video/XaQFfqC3lnU/v-deo.html
So, you rated the performance based on the fact that the song is not in a genre you like. Fair enough. For the genre, it is a banging tune. Maybe you should list the genres you like so that people don't waste your time with songs you wouldn't like regardless of how good they are. Example: "recommend to me only pop songs, songs that I wouldn't mind hearing every day". That would be fair so that I wouldn't waste MY time watching your reaction to one of the best performances of all time and hearing this kind of denigrating language about it.
@guitta Dabe Wow, what a waste of time typing all that. We react to anything and everything, just because our views do not reflect yours, does not make it a waste of time. We were not into Metal or Country before we started this channel, but have found many artist in both of those genres we really enjoy now. If we were to be so close minded as to only ask for songs we like, what would be the point? Just because we didn't say we loved it on our first time hearing it, does not mean we didn't enjoy it. If you are so close minded to only listen to artists and songs you already enjoy, how do you know what you are missing? When was the last time you listened to any Symphonic Metal, J-Metal, Vietnamese Rapping, Mongolian Throat singing? Are we the narrow minded ones or perhaps it is you who does not agree with any other comment about an artist other than your own. And we actually said we appreciated the performance, it was not a song we would usually listen to but we gave it a go. No one wasted anytime on listening to that artist, other than me having to reply to your narrow minded comment.
Some people shouldn't do some things. At all. These two guys have no business reacting to music, and probably art in general. They should try accounting, or plumbing, I don't know what would work for them - but judging artistic masterpieces is not something they should ever attempt. Sorry if I sound harsh, but I am actually generous with ther reaction.
We react! If you played this to 100 people not 100 people will fall over loving it… or even think it is a masterpiece, that’s life, we have our own opinions just like you do, art is in all music. We understand people won’t agree and that is fine but telling us to do plumbing or accounting is a very childish remark, perhaps broadening the music you listen too in other genres will open your mind to the fact people have so many tastes and just because someone doesn’t have your view it doesn’t mean they are wrong :) happy Saturday BPR!
@@BritPopsReact Artistry and artistic value transcends genres, sensible and cultured people are able to recognize an exceptional performance even if never before exposed to that particular kind of art. You have chosen to put yourselves in front of a camera and broadcast to the whole world your inability to recognize value. Unfamiliarity with a genre, language or culture is not the excuse you think it is. And I wasn't in any way suggesting that plumbing could be done by people lacking the necessary skills, I apologize to all talented hardworking plumbers out there.
the thing here is, we can have all opinions, but doing ratings makes people think you actually know what you are talking about. which is clearly not the case.
He wouldn’t listen to it again unless it came up at a concert??? I just discovered her last night and I’ve now listened to it at least 20 times! This performance is my new addiction❣️ To each is own, but your reaction is disappointing.
We shall follow up with Lara as we both enjoyed her vocal but just the song didn’t do it for us … but we shall follow up, thanks for checking us out :)
I listened to France's Charles Aznavour my entire life. He's outstanding, as is Lara x10. However, most French songs are more conversational, more esoteric, more challenging emotionally and intellectually. There is always the feel of theatre within their performances. So, no; not as up tempo, or self explanatory, as say, The Beatles
Thank you so much for reacting to terrific & noteworthy music!! Very much appreciate it.:-)) Here is a recommedation for a genius virtuoso [humble, sweet-spirited] hopefully who you would cover (again, if done so already): Brazilian Lucas Imbiriba [Im bir EE ba]. Lucas I hope is on your radar, he is extraordinarily high caliber. Some Lucas background is below, pls nd ty. :-)) He started guitar at 10 years old and was #1 in his native Brazil at age 15--has toured in at least 20 countries. Teaches classical guitar as a Professor. Sings like a rockstar. His renditions incorporate many different techniques and genres all in the one piece, nd cover rock, metal, flamenco etc etc etc. He is brilliant. :-))) Obviously he is all over UA-cam and Instagram and his numbers are stellar, especially considering his you tube channel is very new! ..If you haven't already covered him, I can't recommend him enough. HOT OFF THE PRESS! Just released today: Argentinian Magic! Misionera - Lucas Imbiriba #fernandobustamante If Lucas didn't stop playing when he did, I feared the guitar would catch fire! I hope he has his arms and hands insured. Happy face. Enjoy!! :-))) [PS Others of his incredible you tube arrangements with Many Millions of Views, are: Hotel California, Cancion del Mariachi, Sultans of Swing. :-))]
@Patricia Everett Hello and thank you f or the comment and all the information. OK, we have noted all the information down and will check out Lucas, we hope his fans are a little more forgiving than those of Lara. 🙂🙂
@Pavel Suvorov ◼ Great to know you enjoyed it. This was our first time listening and as you know, it usually takes us a few songs to get it. Thanks for watching
You failed to appreciate the performance because you interrupted far too often, and for far too long. REACTION videos can only "react" when you have listened to the bloody track! You both need to revisit this again,.... and again,..... to fall in to the Lara world. PLEASE try this again without commenting or pausing the upload WHATSOEVER .
@BrianVincent-gz2dq Just was not for us Brian, sorry but that's just how it goes. We enjoy some and not others. You of course are entitled to your own opinion and that's why music is so great, everyone has their own musical taste. As for stopping the song and providing comments, that is what we do on a Reaction channel, unless you are looking for those fake ones where they pull funny faces when someone hits a high note. We try and give our honest feedback to what we are hearing for the first time, good or bad. At least you know we gave our honest opinion and not just went along with what the audience wanted to hear. All the best to you and don't take it personal, we all have very different musical palettes and that's why there will be an artist out there for everyone. Cheers
I think you will like these songs from her: Adagio ( English), you are not from here ( English), Caruso ( Italian), quedate ( Spanish) broken vow ( English), perdere lamore ( Italian). I will also recommend a young English singer ( from Wigan) : Lucy Thomas. Her last release: wind beneath my wings from the movie: beaches , is a master piece vocally and visually.
What you don't understand is that what you are calling "dialogue" is being delivered on a Master Level of singing technique. If you knew more about vocal technique and usage, you'd have a not only a better understanding but also a greater admiration for singers like Lara and Dimash. Study up on it if you plan to continue reacting to "singers" because vocal technique is 1/2 the equation & performance/delivery the other 1/2.
@Jim & Melody Farmer video Cheers for the comment and the feedback Jim YT is full of technical experts on one thing and another. We are just two guys discovering new artists and music and passing them on to people who are interested and giving our "non technical" opinions and musings as we go along. Not everyone needs to be an expert in everything and we didn't read that criteria when we decided to start doing this channel, for a bit of fun. Those that enjoy our channel, enjoy coming on the journey with us and discovering new artists. If you want the technical speak, you need "The Charismatic Voice" she is much better than us two fools. If you want the "Bloke down the pub" version, then that's where we come in Cheers
@@BritPopsReact I agree, I love "The Charismatic Voice", and she reacted to a long list of Lara songs ^^ As for the fans having a go at you because of the marks, this was to be expected, not like we fans are objective. I am actually a fan of Lara, and would advise you to check the entire concert this performance comes from that I restored here : ua-cam.com/play/PLV-BfzP9ln4xyPy8l43ag7hd20S9PeNiE.html In this concert, she sings quite a few beautiful English songs, I am sure you will prefer some of them 🙂
If you ever fall down the rabbit hole of the Dutch show Beste Zangers (Floor participated in 2019), I really like the version of Je Suis Malade by Belle Perez and Karsu. They do it in French/Turkish! ua-cam.com/video/u2ssrv0oy6M/v-deo.html
Serge Lama wrote and sung this tune in the mid situés or seventies. His version is very very moving too. Serge Lama is a well known singer in France. Brilliant song and songwriter.
It's rather amusing to see how arrogant people are, telling you how you should react on your channel. To them I say move along. The purpose of reaction channels is to observe other opinions on an artist or group. It's not to chastise them if their assessment isn't in line with yours. You are getting a taste of the vitriol and venom that spews from the haters and trolls that is facilitated by the anonymity of the internet. It depends on the reacter and the subject. They're called keyboard warriors. Pay them no mind and crack on.
@m.a. sperry Not sure if this week is some sort of special Moon phase as we seem to be getting quite a lot of similar comments, maybe we can blame it on the Moon phasing. It tends to go that way if we don't jump around and say how great things are but you know that's not quite how we do things. We passed on a lot of information for anyone new to Lara and said the performance was impressive just not quite our style of song. Good job BP1 didn't go off on one!! 😂 Thanks for the positive comment, helps to keep our chins up! Cheers
Thanks for reacting to Lara Fabian. She's a fantastic singer who always puts herself in the character she performs and delivers an emotional perfomance. In the comments some already suggested English songs like Broken Vow or Adagio (her live performance, not the music video), but for a completely different Lara I recommend her duet "Requiem pur a fou" (= requiem for a madman) with the French legend Johnny Hallyday. It's in French again but there is a version with English subtitles: ua-cam.com/video/zR1rkt_0biA/v-deo.html It's an epic performance.
Nobody sings a song like Lara. She's unique and wonderful! 😎
Some more info on Lara:
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, .... We can debate her rank in this list (in my personal view she tops these) but she is there.
There are also a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing 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 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) and has sung in 12 languages in total
• she is an amazing song writer and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks. She often co-compose 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, 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 if I remember well (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. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, reached number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart 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 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 spngs 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 UK 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 wrote and performed originally).
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 ».
She covered « Love is like a dream » before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva)
And they performed Ti Amo Cosi together with Aida Garafulina.
This is a song that she wrote with Igor Krutoy and performed initially with Dmitriy Hvorostovsky and Alina Yaroyava.
Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy.
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)
• Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade)
• ....
Today, she is 52 yo but she his still singing with her resonant belts, her magnificent tone, her stage presence, her artistry, her commitments to lyrics, story and emotions.
She has used her vocal skills to work around the impact of ageing on her voice.
Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
If you explore more of her songs, you will soon be hooked, I'm sure.
Scoring this song is just insane. It's like scoring a Manet or an opera from Mozart. A lot of English-speaking people doesn't understand nor feel French culture. They don't even know how to open their mind or sensibility. This interpretation is the " summum" and pushed that song to pure art.
@edc4328
Yup!, call us insane, but we score every song we have ever reacted to.
Insane right?
Cheers
Et on oublie serge lama, qui a composé cette chanson et chanté....
@@BritPopsReact Păi notați...dar, din păcate, nu sunteți calificați să faceți asta...
Best performance by the best singer singing a masterpiece, one of the most beautiful songs ever written, better than anyone who has ever sung it. There is no score high enough for Lara ever.
That’s the problem when one doesn’t have the emotional range to deal with this. And when someone can seriously state « obviously I don’t listen to anyone singing in French », clearly you are not up for a treat.
Of course this performance is a 10+, one of the greatest performances of all time. Maybe you would prefer "Adagio". You may have heard Dimash sing it and during Lara's performance you will be able to tell where Dimash got his inspiration. Don't worry, it is in English. You can see a performance of Dimash and his idol Lara together in a different song. Lara also wrote the lyrics for Dimash's song "Your Love".
Adagio isn't upbeat though. I'm thinking "I am who I am" from this concert for all the runs maybe? It's a fun bubblegum song.
@Still Racer
Haha, well, we know you are biased and you know we have done many reactions to songs what we have no idea what they are singing about, Dimash being one of them and we came to appreciate him the more we watched and it will probably be the same with Lara, this was perhaps just not the right song style for us to start on.
Thanks for the comment and the support.
@@BritPopsReact It’s obviously ok to not like this song or even the performance but it’s actually considered as one of the best performances in music history by most (outstanding technique and storytelling skills, intense interpretation, beautiful voice + powerful song), not just her fans.
@@neila.5_209 Je Suis Malade was my gateway drug to Fabian. It remains the MOST ASTONISHING marriage of perfect technical control/huge technique toolbox and otherworldly stage performance skills I've ever encountered.
I was so curious about it, I tracked down multiple Serge Lama performances over preceeding decades to compare & contrast. Fabian tweaked it pretty substantially though subtly and always brilliantly: from tempo, to orchestration, to a capella sections, to phrasing. All to amazing effect. I think because she is a composr/lyricist herself, she knows what will "work." Story is all, vocal acrobatics for the sake of pyrotechnics have no place in her performances, ever.
I do admit that I'm surprised @Brit Pops React were unmoved by the song. That's unusual. 🤷🏻♀️
Adagio is likewise brilliant with it's meticulous, patient build to the climax. I hope they do react to it. Albinoni's Adagio has long been my favorite neo"classical" piece, and Fabian's original pop treatment of it somehow retains an echo of the source, something all of the covers lose along the way. It's gorgeous. The live band/orchestration for it in the concert From Lara From Love was particularly on point. 👍
It's really good... But I've heard better ones.
Obviously with only 50 years of music experience my opinion isn't that important, but I've seen some performances in that time topping this one.
But, yeah... It's extraordinary..
🙂
I always find french the most beautiful language to sing with ! Captivating and emotional!
Here's a comparison for you. Lara Fabian is like Pink Floyd. She's not just a musician... She's an experience! This song may not have resonated with you but for millions they could listen to this song over and over for hours. Perhaps it is to deep for you? If you are looking for a particular genre, Lara can do any and all of them. Scoring songs (8.2) is ridiculous. This isn't an Olympics gymnastics competition. Maybe instead of reacting to music you should try sports.
Oula t'as l'air vener !
I suggested them to view '' Opera singer '' ou Andyjonesofficial '' for an exhaustive review of the song '' je suis malade'' . This song is an important part of the French language repertoire, to the same level as '' ne me quitte pas '' from Jacques Brel.
Completely agree with you. One of the weirdest reactions to this masterpiece. Could Adele sing like that ? As far as she is a good singer, I highly doubt that she could move that way and have a 16 seconds belt at the end. Brits are sometimes funny but fortunately, some other british vocal coaches were deeply touched by her interpretation and even cried while watching the performance.
@@conscienceetintuition9350 Les goûts, les couleurs...
Perso Pink Floyd est juste au dessus de tout... Donc la comparaison du message original est douteuse pour moi... Surtout que "normalement" tout spectacle devrait être une "expérience" hein... C'est le principe... Mais mettre l’expérience "Lara" au même titre que l’expérience Pink Floyd c'est pousser le bouchon un peu loin...
Au niveau de la performance elle est top, technique vocale top etc. Mais c'est pas comparable. Surtout qu'au moins dans les expériences "Pink Floyd" ils faisaient tout, du concept a la musique, en passant par les paroles et le chant. Ah c'est sur en vocal ils compètent pas avec Lara, mais c'est pas non plus le même "délire".
Sur cette réaction en particulier, oui je suis plus ému en voyant la perf de Lara, mais aussi parce qu'en tant que français je n'ai aucun effort pour ressentir les paroles, ça aide. Si ils sont passés a coté, bin... "Tant pis pour eux"... On doit passer a coté de trucs qu'ils aiment.
Je vous trouve un peu "fragiles" avec nos cousins britishes... On a fait la paix il y a longtemps, on peut se dire les trucs sans s'invectiver. (Je dis ça parce que je m’énerve souvent :) ).
@@conscienceetintuition9350 Puis accessoirement leur générique c'est "Oasis"... Quand on aime "Oasis" c'est qu'on a des goûts de chiottes... hahaha non je blague... C’était pour troller.
Her live performance of Caruso is just lovely.
Born in Belgium , Canadian since 1995. Two native languages : french from her father and italian from her sicilian mother. Fluent in english and spanish. Sings in twelve languages.
Lara is a story teller when she sings. She goes in & out of what is known as “speech singing”, not everyone can do so: Dolly Parton “speech sings” also, it’s easy to be caught in the story, and sort of “she’s singing” moment that goes off in one’s mind. Vastly different ladies, different styles, different ages, but both are song writers that take listeners on a journey when singing. Dolly turned 78 & released her Rock N Roll album “Rock Star” with 30 tracks. There are 21 collaboration with the Who’s Who of Rock Stars, and 9 originals. All proceeds go to charity. Lara did a cover of her “I will always love you”, following Whitney’s version mostly. But, Lara removed the saxophone session, and replaced it featuring an electric guitar.
Only an Artist can do ART....Lara Fabian has shown that to the world....Yeagh....this world with so little art appreciation!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
And a last one for you guys ( in english) : "You're not from here." This one should ring a bell for you. Best regards from Québec (I'm french speaking) city Canada.
Magnifique! a masterpiece at its best!
Lara Fabian is not Belgium-Canadian but Italian-Belgian naturalized in canada.. Born in Belgium, her Childhood lives in Italy on her mother's side then moved to Canada. Sing in all languages
Mother is Italian, father is from Belgium and Lara was born there.
She didn’t go to Canada until her late teens I believe but possibly into her 20s.
Lara is not french but she's singing a french song wrote by Serge Lama in 1973 ...and the music was wrote by a french artist too Alice DONA
Et chanté par Serge lama, on oublie souvent de le dire...
Lara is Belgian, they speak French. She is fluent in English and Italian too. Sings in Russian, Spanish too.
@Grufnit
Thankyou for the comment and the information, yes we did say those also.
Cheers
By heritage, Lara is Italian. Everyone want's to claim her. France, Belgium, Canada, Fabian is her mother's and grand mother's median name. She spent time in Sicily as a young girl living with her grandmother. In the Latin culture, you are what your mother's heritage is. And most don't take the fathers name. I know my wife was Portuguese and wasn't given her fathers last name until she emigrated to the U.S. And Immigration insisted she take her fathers name. Lara Fabian is the greatest female voice of this generation. And maybe several other generations as well.
her song Adagio is a stelar performance guys
It sounds so dramatic and the way she sings it is out of this world. Now about the song: This is a cover. The original singer is called Serge Lama and it was released in the 1970's. It was covered by many french singers. BP2: You should see yourself with jaw down as she sings the last note. By the way, I speak french & English as I told you before: I'm from Tunisia (North Africa, in case you wonder).Cheers guys!
@hicham barrak
Thank you for the comment and the information.
We appreciate you checking out our channel
I've lost track of how many times I've watched this performance. I've also seen at least 30 reactions to this, and I've never seen a reaction that has rated it below a 9.5! In fact, the vast majority send it beyond 10, and the educated professionals consider it flawless, while also describing it as a master class in technique.
@Mason Steele
Totally understandable and fair comment, however, nowhere did we claim to be professionals in anything.
We are just guys checking out new artists and music and give our honest thoughts on hearing something for the first time.
We know nothing about technique so we would be lying if we even tried to talk about that, but we know we we like and what sounds nice and that is what we based our FUN score on.
Seems a lot of Lara fans are very sensitive.
We also react to Dimash and were not that taken on our first listen but the more we got to know him and his different styles, the more we appreciated his music and talent.
Also the same for Nightwish and they are one of our favourite bands, so we maybe just need to hear more from Lara and find the right songs.
Good thing we are thick skinned and do not get offended by all the over protective comments.
Thanks for checking out the channel and the support, maybe have a look around and get to know our style of reacting.
Cheers
@@BritPopsReact I agree completely with Mason Steele’s comments. If you want to broaden your musical horizons, watch some of the reactions (to this performance) done by voice coaches and singers. As far as other performances by Lara Fabian are concerned, I suggest you find a recording of her singing the song “Caruso”. She has recorded it in both English and Italian, so hopefully you will find a copy in English so you won’t have to deal with subtitles. Then I suggest you look for a video of her performing “Je t’aimes” (which translates to “I love you”) from prior to 2000. Watch that to get a feel for the song. THEN watch the video of her “Live in Paris” in 2001. That performance came at a period of great turmoil in her life and the audience response was amazing.
@@BritPopsReact I totally appreciate your thoughtful reply. As for Dimash, I honestly can't listen to him. I've tried eight different performances, and I only find them emotionally disingenuous. He clearly has range, skills, but his attempts at emoting a lyrical story is mostly quite mechanical, with exaggerated vocal tricks, which I find off-putting. Of course, that's subjective to some extent. IMO, Dimash on his best day, would never even approach Lara's innate ability to connect to a lyric. I completely concur with you guys on Nightwish, Angelina Jordan, and Courtney Hadwin! Cheers!😊✌
@Mason Steele
Cheers Mason, for us the songs from Dimash that caught our attention, were his more Pop style songs with the Music Video's.
OK not in the same league as this from Lara, but it got us to take more interest and check out music we probably never would have tried before.
Thanks for checking out our other videos too.
You probably realise by now, we don't actually know what we are talking about half the time, just having fun and discovering new artists almost on daily basis.
Cheers and hope to hear from you on other reactions.
@@BritPopsReact : at least you are trying to widen your horizon.
When I heard this song for the first time, I was crying (Without understanding a single word!). In my opinion Lara Fabian is one of the best singers in the world. Thank you for reacting to her song. Greetings from Denmark!
Best live singer on par with Whitney Houston. No one else compares! It’s a great song actually. I’ve listened to her singing this more than any other song. It’s literally the best live rendition of anything!!! Not only does she sing unbelievably well but she’s a master storyteller. As a composer I give it a 10/10
it's a song about a breakup that kills you slowly and makes you sick. the impact of the words in French is even more powerful
and it's a man who wrote this song about his feelings of despair
and you haven't heard the duet :
Johnny Hallyday & Lara Fabian "Requiem pour un fou" Stade de France 1998 - Subtitles
Lara's interpretation here, is in a very traditional french style. To understand better, you have to listen Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Jacques Brel, Barbara....words and feelings are more important than voice and music. Then if we have everything together.... it's just pure Art! 🇨🇵
Exactly what I was thinking, except I added Serge Gainsbourg to the list.
If a song is emotional and dramatic it belongs in a musical and is not a real 'song'? "A poem or words set to music" is the dictionary definition.What I suspect you meant to say was that it does not have a catchy hook, beat, or melody and makes you uncomfortable so you don't want to put it on repeat time after time and dance around the living room. This makes it a song, art, and life changing. It is therefore not less than a song but more than and if anything needs to be graded on a different spectrum perhaps?
She sings in 11 languages and speaks 5 fluently --I believe. Her mother was Italian and Father, Belgian, but she loved Quebec -- and they love her! (See "fans support Lara") video.
You have opened up a huge Rabbit Hole. If not the best, one of the top Female singers, artists, performers, and storytellers in the World. Enjoy, You will have an amazing journey. Love from Montreal, Canada Lara is a Belgium Canadian singer-writer
She is sick from loss of a great love. Most people assume it is a lover, but it is the death & complete loss of her mother. Lara was born in Belgium, but moved to Italy & lived her Mother & Grandmother. Song writers & singers manage their emotions by expressing emotions through their artistry.
Oke, 😂 that's the weirdest explanation I've heard of the song.
You usually don't sleep with your mum, and don't sing about "like my mum" if you actually sing about her.
Just saying... 😉
Extremely accomplished vocalist. Nice find.
@Peter Richards
Again, a bit of an acquired taste on the song, we appreciated the talent.
You wouldn't think so based on some of the feedback.
Good thing BP1 went easy!!
her mom is Italian and grand ma also she is french belgium Canada ,lives in Canada
Sounds like a dialogue because its originaly a duo
I enjoy your reaction
@BRUCE DO
Thank you for the kind comment, we appreciate it.
J imagine etre au premier rang a ce concert et me prendre cette chanson en pleine face
I was very surprised by your score, when I add a point somewhere or remove a point, it must have some logic. I, as a professional musician, can only evaluate according to precise criteria. By this I mean, firstly, intonation in my opinion 10 points, secondly, rhythmic feeling in my opinion 10 points, thirdly speech in my opinion 10 points, fourthly artistic impression 10 points, Fifthly, phrasing 10 points, Words 10 points, melody 10 points and overall impression 10 points. So please tell me where you got the points?
10/10 from me. Amazing performance and amazing song. I listen to this song on Spotify all the time, absolutely a song I can listen to.
She is the perfect story taller from her soul to to ours
One of the greatest live performances EVER and you would not watch it again!???? Ugh! What else has she done? never mind just go back to watching your Dimash vids!
It's interesting your take on the song. Honestly for me the first time I watched this performance the first thing that came to my mind was Fantine from Les Miserables and the song "I Dreamed A Dream". This song was not actually written by her but by a guy coming out of a difficult relationship. But in many ways she's transformed it in her delivery into a song your expect to hear in a musical. And so it was written in a modern context. But for me the way Lara sings it out makes me think of perhaps a character in a story, perhaps a singer in a bar in a French port, who's fallen for a guy who will never truly love her back.
She is definitely one of the best at telling the story of a song and sharing the emotions of song I've ever heard.
"Adagio", "Caruso" and "Broken Vow" are other songs I'd recommend from this same concert.
if you knew how many times this song has been listened to and number and number of times you would be astonished. this is a Stelar performanmce
You should react to "Adagio" a song that she wrote in english and in italian. 17 seconds on the long note.
Everyone has someone they absolutely adore, whether for the voice,
the presence, whatever. They will praise and defend that person to the death. Lara is a fabulous
singer. Great voice, and she sings with such emotion. That said, I've heard a couple of her songs, and while, again, fabulous, she is not my favourite. Everyone doesn't have the same criteria for their favourite.
If they did, the world would be beige.
@m.a. sperry
You are very brave.
Not getting involved in this one LOL
Tough crowd
@@BritPopsReact Chicken :D
Of course. You can not consider her your fav. What annoys so many people (like myself), is people always comparing her to Dimash, or Céline Dion, or Barbra Streisand, or Floor Jansen, or whatever!
her song
I Will Love Again
Lara Fabian is an absolutely great singer. She has a great voice and the full control of her! You know, this is a chanson! Not any mix or Lalala. You feel the sadness and pain of this woman! Her heart is broken!!💔😢 When you don't feel that you are a rock. "A rock feels no pain and an island never cries" Simon & Garfunkel
I don't listen to French songs cause they're not in my native language.😳
Wow, just wow.😂
@Imperial State Crown
He is special 😂
I just discovered your channel and I really enjoyed your honest reaction. As a french, I'd like to precise a few things, the first being about Lara, the second about the lyrics. First, Lara is typicaly what we would call here in France an "Interpreter". In french, we make a difference between "un chanteur" (male) (or "une chanteuse" (female)), that you could basicaly translate as "a singer", and "un interprète" (which translates as "an interpreter" but in french the meaning is closer to "a performer"). Lara is "une interprète", which means she ties singing with a personal way of giving life to the song. As you say, it's quite close to what you would call "a musical" in english, but this is a very traditional way of singing in France that was/is used by some of the greatest french singing artits (Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour, Barbara to cite a few). Not that many people are able to do this with most of the songs they sing but Lara does. The second point is about the Lyrics. In french, "malade" doesn't only means "sick", this is a generic word with multiple interpretations that goes from "unwell" to "sick" and "crazy/mad" and this means alot in the song. We commonly agree that as the songs goes on, the meaning of "malade" goes from a word to another (in the mentioned order) to reach a breaking point at the end, making the lyrics even more subtle and hard that it can seem at first. I hope these precisions help (and that my explanations makes sense ^^). Love from France !
Thank you for presenting this Lara Fabian video to us. I know the both of you are very honest and that is to be appreciated even if we don't agree with your analysis.
Well, I'm going to take this opportunity to be honest with you. Do you or don't you score the artist? Please tell us she should get a 10 WITHOUT QUESTION. She was absolutely spectacular! The song, itself, was a real tearjerker and the way she told the story with her voice and body language created a listening moment which captivates us and locks us in. There will always be time to watch an accomplished, great artist sing a tragic song in a way that brings tears to one's eyes. Her artistry obviously impressed Dimash to a degree that actually put the finishing touches on how he performs on stage and tells a story while he's singing.
How can you possible compare this song to another song which demands rhyme and a consistent beat? Turn on the radio for that stuff. This was a classic, a very unique one, and should be regarded as one.
I have a feeling you guys are split on this one. To keep harmony on camera I believe won out but, privately, I think you both came away from the song with different feelings.
Lastly, did you see how the crowd reacted? They couldn't wait till they got the chance to leap out of their chairs to give her a standing ovation. And, at the very end of the video when you saw Lara standing there quietly while the crowd was going nuts, I don't believe she was regaining her breath. She was attempting to come out of the song. She had been emotionally spent during the performance. And, the whole ending sequence was breathtaking.
I can't separate the artist from the song so I have to give the whole package a 10.
Being French myself i still can’t understand how ‘Joe le taxi’ can be a reference to you foreign people.. 🤨⁉️
Lara Fabian is Fabulous ❤
Belgian father + Italian mother and now Canadian citizen.
Please react to Lara’s “Je T’aime(live concert)”. The fans show how much they love her. Please turn on the English subtitles. It’s really really amazing and stunning. 🙏🙏🙏
@Catherine Liu
Thank you for your comment and for watching.
Broken Vow, not upbeat, but in English. Lara is incredible and you definitely can see her influence on Dimash. Adagio is her song, it would be interesting to see both of you react to Lara’s, and Dimash‘s, not as a comparison though. They have performed together Ti Amo Cosi, with Aida Garifullina, absolutely incredible.
Oh yes! I love their performance of “Ti Amo Cosi.” They should definitely react to it!
@Janet Lawson
Hello Janet and thank you for the information.
We will certainly note down you recommendations and try to follow up soon.
Thank you for watching.
@@BritPopsReact thanks to both of you ❤️
Several others have recommended Lara’s “Broken Vow” and “Adagio,” which are great songs. (Josh Groban also did a great cover of “Broken Vow.”) But I heartily recommend you listen to “Ti Amo Cosi” performed by Lara, Dimash and Aida Garifullina at Igor Krutoy’s 65th birthday celebration. It’s amazing.
wow first time that i hear a so bad comment about Lara and this song.
Thank you gents for the great reaction. FYI - Everyone knows the French song ua-cam.com/video/l826rlBOn9w/v-deo.html - Lara Fabian - "Je T'aime" (I Love you) - (In French with English subtitle). Lara wrote this, it is a must watch. Lara is famously linked with Dimash, he has talked openly about how she is his idol, and having done many of her songs, + their duets and the joint collaboration with the great Igor Krutoy. She adores Dimash btw. But her influence is well beyond Dimash - Morissette Amon, Sohyang, Diana Ankudinova and many more count Lara as a, or the, key inspiration. It seems the children of Lara are taking over. Thank you again for the reaction to Lara's interpretation of the French classic "Je Suis Malade". It is a captivating masterclass in singing, technique, stage presence, pitch, diction, drama, motion and more. Memorizing. In voice alone she is in my view the 4th member of the holy trinity and even in that group she is #1. Lara is the Queen, long may she reign, the O.G. of modern pop\concert.
Most of links in this post below are newly restored and of high quality and, importantly, all have English subtitles when not sung in English. Have fun...
"Adagio" -ua-cam.com/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/v-deo.html - is a beautiful and powerful song, a very old classical piece written by Tomaso Albinoni (most would say) which she resurrected and wrote lyrics to. Her biggest hit really, and an insane demonstration of vocal flawlessness and passion by our then young Queen...long may she reign.
ua-cam.com/video/BP2KnLemT78/v-deo.html - turn CC on - Lara Fabian - "Caruso" (In Italian with English lyrics translations) Great Song about the great Caruso's dying days with his young wife. An Italian classic covered by, well, everybody. Lara crushes it. Best version ever and that includes Pavarotti, whom I adore, so I am saying a lot there.
ua-cam.com/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/v-deo.html - Lara Fabian-Concert From Lara With Love "Broken Vow" (English) She wrote this, bring tissue.
ua-cam.com/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/v-deo.html - turn CC on - Lara Fabian "Perdere L'amore"...Losing Love... (Italian with English subs) Another Italian classic, destroyed by Lara in perfect Italian.
ua-cam.com/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/v-deo.html "You're Not From Here" English - Maybe my favorite Lara song. The 100th time you see\hear it will still feel like the first. Lara is definitely the deep end of the pool.
ua-cam.com/video/DuSDdjU4S8M/v-deo.html - Lara Fabian- "Mademoiselle Hyde" - live 2016 (In English with Deutsch/Português subs) She co-wrote this with the maestro, Igor Krutoy. This is the most recent of the videos (2016) and shows a maturing Lara killing it. Great song, evocative, and as always, Lara sells it.
ua-cam.com/video/l826rlBOn9w/v-deo.html - Lara Fabian - "Je T'aime" (I Love you) - (In French with English subtitle) Everyone in France knows this song. She wrote it. Two versions here. One, here in this paragraph, is a great version in its own right, the second is from a live performance where the audience takes over the song and sings "We love you" to Lara in place over the actual lyrics "I love you" and a broken up Lara attempts to sing counterpart to her adoring audience. Tissues required. I recommend doing the last one, the 2nd version of "Je T'aime" below.....last. By then, you will be in a life long relationship with Lara.
ua-cam.com/video/J309uTn8EsU/v-deo.html - Lara Fabian - Je t'aime _ with English subtitles maybe watch this last (see one up from here for "why").
Amazing! More!
Lara originated several songs in English: "Adagio" & " Broken Vow" & "Love by Grace." A favorite of mine is
"You're Not From Here.". In Spanish "Tango Mi Amore" sizzles. In Italian "Caruso" is amazing
Tango is in French. She just says one verse in Spanish, which is "Tango mi amor". Love=Amor (Spanish)=Amore (Italian).
She is a wonderful story-teller. Check out her Caruso and also Perdere L’Amore. She is a treasure from the heavens.
Lara Fabian ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You know there are billions of people on this planet who don't speak English and yet listen to songs in English. Your argument really spoke to me, I'm sure I'm not the only one. Try to be curious, and you'll see it won't hurt you, quite the contrary.
She is the best, guys
For me she's amazing and like Dimash she doesn't just sing but tells us a story. Maybe you could react to "Caruso"; this one is in italian. Thank you for reacting to our requests.
This is more of a theatrical performance, not wallpaper pop music you would listen to on the radio. It requires more focused attention and the willingness to submerge yourself in anothers experience. You might enjoy Je T'aime, since you are familiar with it, her concert version. ua-cam.com/video/JoZ6P6ihzCU/v-deo.html She also wrote Broken Vow which is in English, the concert version is very good. However, I think this sort of display of emotion is not a British thing, generally. C'est pas votre truc, as the French would say.
She's Belgian/Canadian. She has recorded music in 9 languages.
@Douglas Pensack
Cheers for the information, I believe I said that right after BP said she must be French.
Cheers
Lara is amazing
pretty dispassionate reaction
cold even
Caruso in italian and Quedate in spanish.
she is not French, she is half Belgian and half Italian. she is French speaking only and lives in canada
@cristina marchi gigante
Thank you, yes we said all that right after BP1 said she was French.
You must have missed it
@@BritPopsReact yes sorry
"I will love again" is upbeat.
Lara writes music in many languages and you can understand her in each song. That’s not true of some other musicians such as Dimash. He hits lots of notes but I don’t always feel he hits the language.
Dimash may not hit the language but he sing with emotion . He sang love of tired Swans better than Lara , love is like a dream, know also Vocalize. He sang IKANAIDE in perfect japanese in 2021 for Tokyo Jazz festival full of emotion. He sang Adagio in 2017 in China only his English is not perfect because it's the first time he sang in English and he can't speak English at all , now his English is better and I would say he sang Adagio better than Lara. God blessed you. This is my personal opinion.
Lara es una de las grandes! Reacionen a Broken Vow (inglés), Caruso (italiano), Adagio (inglés) del mismo concierto: From Lara with love
Saludos desde Barcelona 👋
Other songs you guys will want to react to, all from this concert “From Lara with Love” are Adagio, Caruso, Broken vow, Perdere l’amore, and You’re not from here. And then from other live performances she did i’d recommend Ave Maria, Tango, Je t’aime (specifically from the concert “Nue” Live in Paris, 2002), Extrait de Yentl, and Mademoiselle Hyde. And those are just a few recommendations from her 30 years carreer span.
Interestingly this song has over 31 million views! Wow!
One of my favourite singers (along with Dimash - their duet of "Vocalise Know" or trio Lara Fabian, Dimash Kudaibergen and Aida Garifulina "Ti aAmo Cosi" would surprise you :). She's amazing!
Do Adagio or Broken Vow
BP2, you know « je t’aime » ? Try her version of this song ! That whole show was so special ! A masterpiece! You have to listen to all of them…french, english, italian…! Cheers
@Francois St-Aubin
Hello to you and thank you for the comment and the recommendations.
Thanks for checking out the channel too.
Gracias por reaccionar a la gran Lara favian y por este gran tema uno de mis favoritos
you must listen to her incredible song ''Adagio'', it's really Beautiful, even Floor from Nightwish covert it,
she is one of the most Perfect singers around, Her Voice is Pure, full Emotions.
Thanks for reacting to Lara! To me she's one of the best storytellers on stage, because she masters her vocal technique so well that she can focus on the rest. English performance you can react to could be "Adagio" ( later covered by Dimash & Floor): ua-cam.com/video/jKtNuLG5jAo/v-deo.html , and if you want to see her sing with Dimash, then "Ti amo cosi" is the performance to watch: ua-cam.com/video/XaQFfqC3lnU/v-deo.html
So, you rated the performance based on the fact that the song is not in a genre you like. Fair enough. For the genre, it is a banging tune. Maybe you should list the genres you like so that people don't waste your time with songs you wouldn't like regardless of how good they are. Example: "recommend to me only pop songs, songs that I wouldn't mind hearing every day". That would be fair so that I wouldn't waste MY time watching your reaction to one of the best performances of all time and hearing this kind of denigrating language about it.
@guitta Dabe
Wow, what a waste of time typing all that.
We react to anything and everything, just because our views do not reflect yours, does not make it a waste of time.
We were not into Metal or Country before we started this channel, but have found many artist in both of those genres we really enjoy now.
If we were to be so close minded as to only ask for songs we like, what would be the point?
Just because we didn't say we loved it on our first time hearing it, does not mean we didn't enjoy it.
If you are so close minded to only listen to artists and songs you already enjoy, how do you know what you are missing?
When was the last time you listened to any Symphonic Metal, J-Metal, Vietnamese Rapping, Mongolian Throat singing?
Are we the narrow minded ones or perhaps it is you who does not agree with any other comment about an artist other than your own.
And we actually said we appreciated the performance, it was not a song we would usually listen to but we gave it a go.
No one wasted anytime on listening to that artist, other than me having to reply to your narrow minded comment.
Some people shouldn't do some things. At all. These two guys have no business reacting to music, and probably art in general. They should try accounting, or plumbing, I don't know what would work for them - but judging artistic masterpieces is not something they should ever attempt. Sorry if I sound harsh, but I am actually generous with ther reaction.
We react! If you played this to 100 people not 100 people will fall over loving it… or even think it is a masterpiece, that’s life, we have our own opinions just like you do, art is in all music. We understand people won’t agree and that is fine but telling us to do plumbing or accounting is a very childish remark, perhaps broadening the music you listen too in other genres will open your mind to the fact people have so many tastes and just because someone doesn’t have your view it doesn’t mean they are wrong :) happy Saturday BPR!
@@BritPopsReact Artistry and artistic value transcends genres, sensible and cultured people are able to recognize an exceptional performance even if never before exposed to that particular kind of art. You have chosen to put yourselves in front of a camera and broadcast to the whole world your inability to recognize value. Unfamiliarity with a genre, language or culture is not the excuse you think it is. And I wasn't in any way suggesting that plumbing could be done by people lacking the necessary skills, I apologize to all talented hardworking plumbers out there.
the thing here is, we can have all opinions, but doing ratings makes people think you actually know what you are talking about. which is clearly not the case.
He wouldn’t listen to it again unless it came up at a concert??? I just discovered her last night and I’ve now listened to it at least 20 times! This performance is my new addiction❣️ To each is own, but your reaction is disappointing.
We shall follow up with Lara as we both enjoyed her vocal but just the song didn’t do it for us … but we shall follow up, thanks for checking us out :)
I listened to France's Charles Aznavour my entire life. He's outstanding, as is Lara x10. However, most French songs are more conversational, more esoteric, more challenging emotionally and intellectually. There is always the feel of theatre within their performances. So, no; not as up tempo, or self explanatory, as say, The Beatles
Lara❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for reacting to terrific & noteworthy music!! Very much appreciate it.:-))
Here is a recommedation for a genius virtuoso [humble, sweet-spirited] hopefully who you would cover (again, if done so already): Brazilian Lucas Imbiriba [Im bir EE ba]. Lucas I hope is on your radar, he is extraordinarily high caliber. Some Lucas background is below, pls nd ty. :-))
He started guitar at 10 years old and was #1 in his native Brazil at age 15--has toured in at least 20 countries. Teaches classical guitar as a Professor. Sings like a rockstar. His renditions incorporate many different techniques and genres all in the one piece, nd cover rock, metal, flamenco etc etc etc. He is brilliant. :-)))
Obviously he is all over UA-cam and Instagram and his numbers are stellar, especially considering his you tube channel is very new! ..If you haven't already covered him, I can't recommend him enough.
HOT OFF THE PRESS! Just released today:
Argentinian Magic! Misionera - Lucas Imbiriba #fernandobustamante
If Lucas didn't stop playing when he did, I feared the guitar would catch fire! I hope he has his arms and hands insured. Happy face. Enjoy!! :-)))
[PS Others of his incredible you tube arrangements with Many Millions of Views, are: Hotel California, Cancion del Mariachi, Sultans of Swing. :-))]
@Patricia Everett
Hello and thank you f or the comment and all the information.
OK, we have noted all the information down and will check out Lucas, we hope his fans are a little more forgiving than those of Lara.
🙂🙂
Lara, the great singer of our time!I really like her voice!Thank you, friends, for the excellent reaction.🥰👏👏👏🇷🇺
@Pavel Suvorov ◼
Great to know you enjoyed it.
This was our first time listening and as you know, it usually takes us a few songs to get it.
Thanks for watching
@@BritPopsReact Listen to her Adagio.The brain will be blown up!🤯
I love OASIS, guys !!!!!
@AttackTheGasStation1
Thanks for the comment and you have very good taste!
Come back soon.
You failed to appreciate the performance because you interrupted far too often, and for far too long.
REACTION videos can only "react" when you have listened to the bloody track!
You both need to revisit this again,.... and again,..... to fall in to the Lara world.
PLEASE try this again without commenting or pausing the upload WHATSOEVER .
@BrianVincent-gz2dq
Just was not for us Brian, sorry but that's just how it goes.
We enjoy some and not others.
You of course are entitled to your own opinion and that's why music is so great, everyone has their own musical taste.
As for stopping the song and providing comments, that is what we do on a Reaction channel, unless you are looking for those fake ones where they pull funny faces when someone hits a high note.
We try and give our honest feedback to what we are hearing for the first time, good or bad.
At least you know we gave our honest opinion and not just went along with what the audience wanted to hear.
All the best to you and don't take it personal, we all have very different musical palettes and that's why there will be an artist out there for everyone.
Cheers
@@BritPopsReact A polite and courteous response and much appreciated.
Enjoy your channel.
I think you will like these songs from her: Adagio ( English), you are not from here ( English), Caruso ( Italian), quedate ( Spanish) broken vow ( English), perdere lamore ( Italian). I will also recommend a young English singer ( from Wigan) : Lucy Thomas. Her last release: wind beneath my wings from the movie: beaches , is a master piece vocally and visually.
What you don't understand is that what you are calling "dialogue" is being delivered on a Master Level of singing technique. If you knew more about vocal technique and usage, you'd have a not only a better understanding but also a greater admiration for singers like Lara and Dimash. Study up on it if you plan to continue reacting to "singers" because vocal technique is 1/2 the equation & performance/delivery the other 1/2.
@Jim & Melody Farmer video
Cheers for the comment and the feedback Jim
YT is full of technical experts on one thing and another.
We are just two guys discovering new artists and music and passing them on to people who are interested and giving our "non technical" opinions and musings as we go along.
Not everyone needs to be an expert in everything and we didn't read that criteria when we decided to start doing this channel, for a bit of fun.
Those that enjoy our channel, enjoy coming on the journey with us and discovering new artists.
If you want the technical speak, you need "The Charismatic Voice" she is much better than us two fools.
If you want the "Bloke down the pub" version, then that's where we come in
Cheers
@@BritPopsReact I agree, I love "The Charismatic Voice", and she reacted to a long list of Lara songs ^^
As for the fans having a go at you because of the marks, this was to be expected, not like we fans are objective.
I am actually a fan of Lara, and would advise you to check the entire concert this performance comes from that I restored here :
ua-cam.com/play/PLV-BfzP9ln4xyPy8l43ag7hd20S9PeNiE.html
In this concert, she sings quite a few beautiful English songs, I am sure you will prefer some of them 🙂
More than perfect 👌
In some respects the translation is distracting. I think I'd rather just close my eyes and listen. Did just that the second half. Haunting voice.
Good idea Lynn, sometimes there is just too much to look at and instead just enjoy the moment, thanks for watching :)
If you ever fall down the rabbit hole of the Dutch show Beste Zangers (Floor participated in 2019), I really like the version of Je Suis Malade by Belle Perez and Karsu. They do it in French/Turkish! ua-cam.com/video/u2ssrv0oy6M/v-deo.html
Isn't she amazing?
❤⚘❤
If you want something different from Lara : 'I will love again', that s pop , and was n°1 in US
I love Lara. Floor sings Adiago also. Lara and Dimash also sing Adiago.
Serge Lama wrote and sung this tune in the mid situés or seventies. His version is very very moving too. Serge Lama is a well known singer in France. Brilliant song and songwriter.
It's rather amusing to see how arrogant people are, telling you how you should react on your channel.
To them I say move along. The purpose of reaction channels is to observe other opinions on an artist or group. It's not to chastise them if their assessment isn't in line with yours.
You are getting a taste of the vitriol and venom that spews from the haters and trolls that is facilitated by the anonymity of the internet. It depends on the reacter and the subject.
They're called keyboard warriors. Pay them no mind and crack on.
@m.a. sperry
Not sure if this week is some sort of special Moon phase as we seem to be getting quite a lot of similar comments, maybe we can blame it on the Moon phasing.
It tends to go that way if we don't jump around and say how great things are but you know that's not quite how we do things.
We passed on a lot of information for anyone new to Lara and said the performance was impressive just not quite our style of song.
Good job BP1 didn't go off on one!! 😂
Thanks for the positive comment, helps to keep our chins up!
Cheers
Thanks for reacting to Lara Fabian. She's a fantastic singer who always puts herself in the character she performs and delivers an emotional perfomance. In the comments some already suggested English songs like Broken Vow or Adagio (her live performance, not the music video), but for a completely different Lara I recommend her duet "Requiem pur a fou" (= requiem for a madman) with the French legend Johnny Hallyday. It's in French again but there is a version with English subtitles: ua-cam.com/video/zR1rkt_0biA/v-deo.html It's an epic performance.
