🇨🇦 Lara is simply the Best ! As you listen to this, note that Lara sings each syllable in every word, and every word in each lyric, completely (to the end) and clearly, no matter which language she is singing in ! 🇨🇦
Ok I will try to give the full context: • Johnny : The most admired singer in France from early 60s to 2017 when he died. He is the Elvis of France, sold more than 110M records WW. His concerts were huge! To give you an idea on how big he was in the french music history, just 3 anecdotes: 1/ as a teenager, he was mentored by Edith Piaf and Charles Aznavour themselves ! 2/ He was the first one who gave his chance to a young guitarist and his band, as a supporting act to his concerts during his 1966 tour. Name of the band: the Jimi Hendrix Experience! 3/ When he died in 2017, there were national funerals, with hundred of bikers on the Champs-Elysees, 1 million people long the path of the funeral procession. And this song was played when the coffin penetrated in the church. Johnny was a real vocal powerhouse, but for this concert , in this last night, best perf, the mics were balanced in favor of Lara: he wanted her to shine and found this gave more drama to the duet. • The song: this is an anthem song for him, that he used to sing alone. This was turned into a duet for Lara. The story of the song was created in reference to a very famous old french classic movie: Le Jour se Leve (1939) where the main character is barricaded and surrounded by the police, having killed a bad man who was his rival in love affairs. Here it becomes more a « Bonnie and Clyde » scene where the main character and her girlfriend are defying the police. • The venue/event: Johnny’s concerts in Stade de France ( biggest stadium in Paris and France) in front of min 80,000. Lara was one of the surprise special guest. They were supposed to perform it 3 times in a row on September 1998 (4th, 5th and 6th). The first night on the 4th, it was deluge of rain, the scene was outdoor, it was risky and they decided at the last minute, with the crowd in the stadium, to postpone it to Sep 11th . Johnny was devastated. The second night and the third night the weather was fine enough. There were 200+ musicians and 150+ chorists on stage. The orchestra and choir setup was amazing, the choir especially which was distributed on huge stairs climbing to the sky. But the night of 11th, the rain was here again. Johnny absolutely refused to cancel this time. This is this Sep 11th show that you just watched and the rain just added some dramatic effect to the whole performance. The orchestra was located under a tent. The choir was grouped on the floor and on some balconies (not on stairs anymore obviously) • Lara: she was at the beginning of her career in France and this performance became legendary and accelerated her fame there. She was just starting to be known in France when, in February 1998, she performed this song in duet with Johnny for Les Enfoires, the most attended France TV Show of each year. Johnny was so surprised and amazed by Lara performance that he decided to do this song again as a duet with her for the 3 big concerts a few months later. In between February and September, the album Pure from Lara had become an absolute mega hit in France, and Lara was already a star. But this live performance where she performs as a surprise guest definitely extended her fame and she got new fans across the entire country.
Hello Éric from South France, I know you picked some info about Lara's performances here or there (I watched you intervening in a Vocal Gym video, there are few). So, did you notice that the introduction in this song is in English (See Me, Be My Dream, etc. - I don't hear well all the lyrics, but it seems that's well English - Maybe there's somewhere on the net that part of this lyric)? Have a pleasant day,
@@LetsChillPage which song are you referring to here? The only english song from Lara that I know out of my mind with relatively similar lyrics is The Dream Within (from the Final Fantasy soundtrack).
@@ericsicard910 This song (in this live version with Lara), Requiem pour un fou. Listen to the intro again and pay close attention to the Choir's lyrics (See Me, Be my Dream, etc.).
@@LetsChillPage oh you mean the lyrics sung by the choir? I don’t really know but it looks to me more like Latin words, as it was the case in classical Requiems
C'est ça se sortir les tripes pour le public. Respect même si je ne suis pas fans des deux. A ce niveau on ne peut que s'incliner devant le travail. A monter à toutes les braillardes actuelles et aux gugusses à casquette de travers.
In 2024, they still talk about this performance on French TV shows almost every week, unreel 3 days in a row in front of 80,000 fans every time.... best voice showcase of all time any languages
Incredible performances! Listen to this all the time! Forgot to mention. Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers! Amazing and well done! Greetings from London 😀
Johnny était français né à Paris en 1943 d'un père Belge et d'une mère française. Son vrai nom Jean-Philippe Smet. En 1960 il signe son premier contrat avec la maison de disques "Vogue" et en 1961signe chez "Philips" qui est devenu "Universal" et reste chez eux jusqu'en 2006 et puis en 2006 il signe son dernier contrat avec Warner et ce fut sa dernière maison de disques car Johnny est malheureusement décédé en 2017 à l'âge de 74 ans. Une carrière de 57 ans. Il a enregistré plus de 1300 chansons. Il a vendu plus de 110 millions d'albums sans avoir fait de carrière internationale c'est dingue !! Il comptabilise 2 840 concerts en France, pour plus de 3 280 représentations au cours de sa carrière. Je vous propose d'écouter quelques unes de ses magnifiques chansons: M'arrêter là, Essayez, Le cœur en deux, Entre chiens et loups, Un monde à part, À propos de mon père, Regarde moi t'aimer, Jamais, J'la croisé tout les matins, Quand le masque tombe, Et puis je sais, Un rêve à faire, Je serai là, Mirador, Les vautours, J'oublierai ton nom, Le chanteur abandonné, Toi tais-toi, Ne tuez pas la liberté, Montpellier, Il nous faudra parler d'amour un jour, J'ai épousé une ombre, Je n'oublierai jamais, Je suis nu je suis mort, Il me faudra plus de temps que m'en donnera la vie, Le bol d'or, Noël interdit, De la race humaine, L'aventure c'est l'aventure, Le pénitencier, Hello US USA, La terre promise, La fille aux cheveux clairs, La fille de l'hiver, Sage pour vous, La tournée, J'aimerais pouvoir encore souffrir comme ça, La guitare fait mal, Parties de cartes, Pardon. Et pleins d'autres..
johnny have sold over 100 million records but are unknown in the USA you can to listen lara fabian with miche sardou ==> je vais t'aimer (same level,that johnny halliday have sold over 100 million records but are unknown in the USA)
Hie from France..I suggest more duets :Maurane and Lara 'tu es mon autre ',Laura pausini and Lara 'La solitudine"...otherwise the 'sweet rage of Lara against adversity ' :"Par amour " (due to context ) with a great official videoclip ,don t pass away from this...More french artists? (Mylene Farmer,JJ Goldman ,Daniel Balavoine ? ) Have a nice day..
Lara Fabian, we give it to you ! We don't want singers who yell instead of singing, in France and Belgium. For us she is ridiculous, and makes lots of faces and mannerisms, just like Celine Dion !!
HAHAHAHA for France, Johnny is the singer of the poor workers, the proletarians, men with Harley, imitation rocker. He has no education, he makes mistakes. Even his death he failed by refusing the inheritance to his children and causing a scandal. He has been singing since 1958 but he is only known in France and Belgium, he has never sold abroad. He is a popular variety singer.
lara dit que c est un souvenir inoubliable il lui avait dit je te laisse une place prends là et elle l a fait magistralement
Johnny sang many duets whit great singers, even with Celine Dion.
But Lara Fabian was his favorite ....
This duet is a Broadway performance.
Lara is the musical ""female me"" he once s said.
