I live in Denmark. I cant believe you guys havent heard about Lara Fabian before. Shes a world class SUPER star and has been for 20+ years. I guess you can thank Celine Dion for blocking her entry to the US market :/
Adagio is an italian word, that means "Slowly". This is also used in music to define the pace of a music (a bit slow, between lento and andante) and also as a name of a piece of a sonate, concerto or symphony that is using that specific parce. The music from this song of Lara Fabian is a pop translation of an italian classic piece called "Albinoni's Adagio". It was written in 1958 by Remo Giazotto who was an admirer of Albinoni, a musician from the 17th/18th century. He claimed it was from him and give his music this name but there is consensus today that he most probably has composed it himself. The classic music piece is globally famous and there were many different translations into different songs, with different music composition and different lyrics (Daniele Licari, Sarah Brightman and Sissel Kyrkjebo for instance). But the most famous version, by far, is Lara’s version: it was translated into a pop song for her, she wrote lyrics in english and italian for it and is the original performer of this new version. She kept the title Adagio and wrote a story with a double meaning: a woman that is awaiting to find her love / an artist that is awaiting the god of inspiration. This song has become a classic and has been covered by many : Shirley Bassey (!!), Dimash (Lara is his absolute idol and he covered several of her songs), Floor Jansen, Polina Gagarina, Julie Anne San Jose, Giulia Falcone, Laura Bretan, Il Divo, Rimar, Vitas, Anastasia Luna, Evgenia Fanfara, , … They made great covers but none of these match the amazing storytelling performance of Lara, or her ability to use vocal subtleties to be in sync with the music, exposed in her live from the concert From Lara with Love. ua-cam.com/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/v-deo.html Her italian version is also amazing. A famous italian version: ua-cam.com/video/qf7xcMN-TYI/v-deo.html Or you can check her recent excellent rendition in Paris early october 2022 ua-cam.com/video/BulgxI-8zj4/v-deo.html
More information on Lara Fabian: Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, .... In my personal opinion, she is even the best. There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register. So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence: • she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer. • she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none • she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens. A quick background on her and her career: She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french 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 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music). In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US. This concert is legendary and the song you just reviewed is from this concert. But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan. She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance. 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 and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then. Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), … With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there. Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her. She is Dimash's idol: I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep. He covered many of her songs, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara. Out of my mind I can list: ○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version) ○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know") She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love". And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva). Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida. Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara. Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it. Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration: ○ Floor Jansen (Adagio), ○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime), ○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie), ○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow), ○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace), ○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Gigi de Lana (Broken Vow) ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know), ○ Il Divo (Adagio) ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow) ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Vitas (Adagio), ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio), ○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio) ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ Sevara Nazarkhan (Je t’aime) ○ .... NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version. Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature. In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular. On April 23 2023 she had again a wonderful concert in Tbilissi, Georgia Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
Thank you Eric! I'm soo ashamed to say that she's only known in Wallonië, a small part of Belgium. She's half Belgian and half Sicilian and grew up in Brussels, Belgium. But the Flemish part of Belgium never heard of her even though she's such a great singer and known in a a great part of the world. Such as Dimash, no one, in Vlaanderen, ever heard of him!
hello johnny, you asked for a recommendation of Lara Fabian, then you should definitely see " BROKEN VOW" from the Lara Fabian Concert " From Lara With Love" . It is a beautiful song and she wrote it herself and it is about an event in her life which she experienced herself. I am curious what your opinion of this song is. I have written to you before about another recommendation because this singer can sing incredibly well but actually {this is my opinion} is underrated her name is Wendy Moten 1 of the songs is " so close to love "{ music video} maybe if you have time you can listen to it. Please keep up what you are doing, I enjoy it! kind regards, ARJAN🙂
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane!

Really enjoy watching you enjoy Lara! She is soo incredible!! I look forward to seeing you discover all of the sides of Lara as FeatherStep has mentioned! Cheers 🥂 🎉😊❤
She is the Top Female vocaliste in the world, major star in Europe, speaks fluently 4 languages, (Italian, French, English, Spanish) also Russian and Portugese. More than 30millions album sold world wide and almost unknown in the USA, i will let others explain her story, she is now 53 yo and just finished a world Tour in 2022. You now have the Lara-virus, no vaccin, no medication,she sings from her soul to yours....
It all depends on the song - she always embodies the emotion of the songs. She is smiley when she sings a happy song, intense when it's called for, sultry when it's that kind of song. It all depends, and she dedicates 100% of her energy to living whoever that character is.
Lara Fabian does indeed pack a lot of emotion into each song she does. She almost seems to inhabit the song and her vocal skills are truly amazing. I've really enjoyed seeing other folks get to experience the wow factor that she effortlessly exudes. I've suggested it each time, I believe, but her original Broken Vow from this same concert is another emotional powerhouse performance.
Exelente reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa canción e interpretación increíble de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe!Por favor reaccióne a Quédate, To love again, Tout, Lou, Toccami, Desesperate hausewife, Gottingen, Perderé l'amore,I Guess i loved You Always, Parce que tu pars Angels pass away, Traviatta Lebedy, Mademoiselle hide! Gracias!
It’s 10 month’s later & I enjoyed your reaction. The earliest time Adagio is 1685, so that fits quite nicely in the 17th century. The song was Instrumental & played during breaks for Opera’s. Numerous people made minor changes; especially, key changes. I believe Lara was singing in this song. Someone asked Lara to put lyric’s to Adagio? Lara eventually did finish. She wrote lyrics in English & Italian. She was chosen to sing.
Adagio is one of her best vocal performances, its spine tingling.. Broken Vow is one of the more emotional. If you like pop watch I will love Again but the official video. One of my personal favourites is I guess I loved you from her second english album, but probably one of the most amazing performances she gives is of Barbra Streislands Yentil medley, there are two live versions, the oldest is slightly better
Gracias por reaccionar a la gran Lara Fabián única en su especie, te recomiendo Broken Vow, Je suis Malade y You're not from here... y verás en verdad lo que es emoción ❤❤
Lara wrote the lyrics on the old classic music composition, in English and in Italian. Lara is the original singer and original performer of Adagio in 1998. Her performances can be called minimalistic. Fabian does not have backup dancers. She wears a strict dress code, light makeup, no flashy fingernails, and usually not one or a minimum number of pieces of jewelry on stage. Her unique very strong but velvety 4.1-octave voice (lyric soprano) whit an exceptional breath control, that is the only thing that the audience receives. The intensive and emotional performances captivates the audience... Lara always seems to sing so effortlessly, nice to watch. On top of that she stays simple , humble and she is a very beautiful personality .... Lara can manipulate her voice like she wants One of her biggest successes very ''soft"". ua-cam.com/video/jAb5Lkl5InY/v-deo.html
Also do not forget Metal, which to me wheremost of the current greatest female singers are coming from, especially Symphonic Metal. Band like Nightwish with their current singer Floor Jansen, Unleash The Archers, Epica, Delain, Evanescence and The Gathering/Vuur, all have superb female singers. On the male side Alter Bridge, Devin Townsend & Queensryche also have unbelievable singers. Also what most people do not know is that Metal is not just one style with thunderous music and screaming vocals, you also have folk metal, power metal, progressive metal and symphonice metal just to name a few, where they sing in rock, classical or even opera styles.
ı looked and i looked and i looked and i couldnt find a Dimash reaction on your channel 😢 😅 its criminal not to do a Dimash reaction at this point 😂 ps: Lara is one of his idols btw
That women is my third best female singers of all time after Mariah carey and Celine Dion. Her voice and control is incredible but the emotional quality OMG❤❤
You asked if this is her best performance. Yes it is. Until you hear the next one and ask the same question...to which the answer will be, yes it is...until you hear the next one...and so it goes. It is the way.
Streisand is her idol and was in the audience the night Lara sang this..”Papa Can You Hear Me/Piece of Sky” in 1997. ua-cam.com/video/zCejzP9s9fY/v-deo.html Then you might want to hear “Broken Vow” from the same concert, the studio recording of “I Am A-Wa” from 2013.
Please also listen & react to Dimash Kudaibergen version of this song, you will love it too. Lara & Dimash performed a duet also of another song. Dimash is from Kazakstan & is world famous. Thank you 🙏
🇨🇦 Canadian female artists are BadAss ! If you have not done so already, try reacting to "I will love again" or The live duet with Johnny Hallyday and Lara Fabian, "Pour in fou" ! But do it quickly, before you read the 3 comments below from Eric Sicard !
Ciao,per la prossima reazione puoi scegliere a caso nel mucchio di tutte le perle che ha prodotto e non importa neanche la lingua che sceglierai.....sarà comunque tutto fantastico !!!!!! Saluti 👋
I live in Denmark. I cant believe you guys havent heard about Lara Fabian before. Shes a world class SUPER star and has been for 20+ years. I guess you can thank Celine Dion for blocking her entry to the US market :/
Ty for this. I am happy you got to experience it. I gave up trying to figure out why - she is the best. Our Queen, long may she reign.
Adagio is an italian word, that means "Slowly".
This is also used in music to define the pace of a music (a bit slow, between lento and andante) and also as a name of a piece of a sonate, concerto or symphony that is using that specific parce.
The music from this song of Lara Fabian is a pop translation of an italian classic piece called "Albinoni's Adagio". It was written in 1958 by Remo Giazotto who was an admirer of Albinoni, a musician from the 17th/18th century. He claimed it was from him and give his music this name but there is consensus today that he most probably has composed it himself.
The classic music piece is globally famous and there were many different translations into different songs, with different music composition and different lyrics (Daniele Licari, Sarah Brightman and Sissel Kyrkjebo for instance).
But the most famous version, by far, is Lara’s version: it was translated into a pop song for her, she wrote lyrics in english and italian for it and is the original performer of this new version.
She kept the title Adagio and wrote a story with a double meaning: a woman that is awaiting to find her love / an artist that is awaiting the god of inspiration.
This song has become a classic and has been covered by many : Shirley Bassey (!!), Dimash (Lara is his absolute idol and he covered several of her songs), Floor Jansen, Polina Gagarina, Julie Anne San Jose, Giulia Falcone, Laura Bretan, Il Divo, Rimar, Vitas, Anastasia Luna, Evgenia Fanfara, , …
They made great covers but none of these match the amazing storytelling performance of Lara, or her ability to use vocal subtleties to be in sync with the music, exposed in her live from the concert From Lara with Love.
ua-cam.com/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/v-deo.html
Her italian version is also amazing. A famous italian version:
ua-cam.com/video/qf7xcMN-TYI/v-deo.html
Or you can check her recent excellent rendition in Paris early october 2022
ua-cam.com/video/BulgxI-8zj4/v-deo.html
She is amazing. “Je suis malade” from the same gig is highly highly recommended.
I'll try to get the link of the one that everybody likes.

More information on Lara Fabian:
Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, ....
In my personal opinion, she is even the best.
There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register.
So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence:
• she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total
• she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer.
• she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none
• she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens.
A quick background on her and her career:
She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french 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 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music).
In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US.
This concert is legendary and the song you just reviewed is from this concert.
But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan.
She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance.
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 and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then.
Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), …
With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there.
Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her.
She is Dimash's idol:
I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep.
He covered many of her songs, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara.
Out of my mind I can list:
○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer),
○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer),
○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version)
○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know")
She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love".
And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva).
Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida.
Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara.
Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it.
Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration:
○ Floor Jansen (Adagio),
○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime),
○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie),
○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow),
○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace),
○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow),
○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow),
○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow),
○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime),
○ Forestella (Je suis Malade),
○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow),
○ Gigi de Lana (Broken Vow)
○ Julie Anne san Jose (Adagio, Broken Vow),
○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know),
○ Il Divo (Adagio)
○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you),
○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow)
○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso),
○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie),
○ Amir (Je t’aime),
○ Vitas (Adagio),
○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio),
○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio),
○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade),
○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade),
○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio)

○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow),
○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow),
○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you)
○ Sevara Nazarkhan (Je t’aime)
○ ....
NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version.
Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature.
In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular.
On April 23 2023 she had again a wonderful concert in Tbilissi, Georgia
Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
Wow! And that's just of the top of your head? Thanks for sharing all this info...I love reading everything I can about her! 😊
Thank you Eric! I'm soo ashamed to say that she's only known in Wallonië, a small part of Belgium. She's half Belgian and half Sicilian and grew up in Brussels, Belgium. But the Flemish part of Belgium never heard of her even though she's such a great singer and known in a a great part of the world. Such as Dimash, no one, in Vlaanderen, ever heard of him!
More of the greatest female voice on planet earth lara fabian it also helps that she is extremely beautiful l o l
It is her best performance. The entire concert is amazing.
Lara Fabian has the most wonderful voice of her generation. I cant take my eyes and ears from her. Thanks for reacting to this amazing artist.
Magnifique Lara Fabian ❤️
hello johnny,
you asked for a recommendation of Lara Fabian, then you should definitely see " BROKEN VOW" from the Lara Fabian Concert " From Lara With Love" .
It is a beautiful song and she wrote it herself and it is about an event in her life which she experienced herself.
I am curious what your opinion of this song is.
I have written to you before about another recommendation because this singer can sing incredibly well but actually {this is my opinion} is underrated her name is Wendy Moten 1 of the songs is " so close to love "{ music video} maybe if you have time you can listen to it.
Please keep up what you are doing, I enjoy it!
kind regards,
ARJAN🙂
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane!

Really enjoy watching you enjoy Lara! She is soo incredible!! I look forward to seeing you discover all of the sides of Lara as FeatherStep has mentioned! Cheers 🥂 🎉😊❤
She is the Top Female vocaliste in the world, major star in Europe, speaks fluently 4 languages, (Italian, French, English, Spanish) also Russian and Portugese. More than 30millions album sold world wide and almost unknown in the USA, i will let others explain her story, she is now 53 yo and just finished a world Tour in 2022. You now have the Lara-virus, no vaccin, no medication,she sings from her soul to yours....
🙄
No she s so bad in her choice . Very poor discography. She sell any more LP …
Elle me fait pleurer de joie Elle est unique et exceptionnelle et merveilleuse ❤️
Lara Fabian "Caruso"
It all depends on the song - she always embodies the emotion of the songs. She is smiley when she sings a happy song, intense when it's called for, sultry when it's that kind of song. It all depends, and she dedicates 100% of her energy to living whoever that character is.
My biggest fan all from the carribean❤❤🇨🇼🇨🇼🇨🇼curacao
Είναι η βασίλισσα μας αγαπητέ.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lara Fabian does indeed pack a lot of emotion into each song she does. She almost seems to inhabit the song and her vocal skills are truly amazing. I've really enjoyed seeing other folks get to experience the wow factor that she effortlessly exudes. I've suggested it each time, I believe, but her original Broken Vow from this same concert is another emotional powerhouse performance.
Yep, I think Broken Vow is next on the list!
Here it is ua-cam.com/video/kJBGCI8aSE4/v-deo.html
one of the greatest voices ever...great reaction....thanks
Exelente reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa canción e interpretación increíble de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe!Por favor reaccióne a Quédate, To love again, Tout, Lou, Toccami, Desesperate hausewife, Gottingen, Perderé l'amore,I Guess i loved You Always, Parce que tu pars Angels pass away, Traviatta Lebedy, Mademoiselle hide! Gracias!
It’s 10 month’s later & I enjoyed your reaction. The earliest time Adagio is 1685, so that fits quite nicely in the 17th century. The song was Instrumental & played during breaks for Opera’s. Numerous people made minor changes; especially, key changes. I believe Lara was singing in this song. Someone asked Lara to put lyric’s to Adagio? Lara eventually did finish. She wrote lyrics in English & Italian. She was chosen to sing.
Broken Vow from the same concert... a must.
Adagio is one of her best vocal performances, its spine tingling.. Broken Vow is one of the more emotional. If you like pop watch I will love Again but the official video. One of my personal favourites is I guess I loved you from her second english album, but probably one of the most amazing performances she gives is of Barbra Streislands Yentil medley, there are two live versions, the oldest is slightly better
Thx for react., Please more Lara
Gracias por reaccionar a la gran Lara Fabián única en su especie, te recomiendo Broken Vow, Je suis Malade y You're not from here... y verás en verdad lo que es emoción ❤❤
Lara wrote the lyrics on the old classic music composition, in English and in Italian.
Lara is the original singer and original performer of Adagio in 1998.
Her performances can be called minimalistic. Fabian does not have backup dancers. She wears a strict dress code, light makeup, no flashy fingernails, and usually not one or a minimum number of pieces of jewelry on stage.
Her unique very strong but velvety 4.1-octave voice (lyric soprano) whit an exceptional breath control, that is the only thing that the audience receives. The intensive and emotional performances captivates the audience...
Lara always seems to sing so effortlessly, nice to watch.
On top of that she stays simple , humble and she is a very beautiful personality ....
Lara can manipulate her voice like she wants
One of her biggest successes very ''soft"".

Also do not forget Metal, which to me wheremost of the current greatest female singers are coming from, especially Symphonic Metal. Band like Nightwish with their current singer Floor Jansen, Unleash The Archers, Epica, Delain, Evanescence and The Gathering/Vuur, all have superb female singers. On the male side Alter Bridge, Devin Townsend & Queensryche also have unbelievable singers. Also what most people do not know is that Metal is not just one style with thunderous music and screaming vocals, you also have folk metal, power metal, progressive metal and symphonice metal just to name a few, where they sing in rock, classical or even opera styles.
You should do Je Suis Malade
ı looked and i looked and i looked and i couldnt find a Dimash reaction on your channel 😢 😅 its criminal not to do a Dimash reaction at this point 😂
ps: Lara is one of his idols btw
That women is my third best female singers of all time after Mariah carey and Celine Dion.
Her voice and control is incredible but the emotional quality OMG❤❤
You asked if this is her best performance. Yes it is. Until you hear the next one and ask the same question...to which the answer will be, yes it is...until you hear the next one...and so it goes. It is the way.
soyez curieux son catalogue est fourni quelle superbe artiste
Streisand is her idol and was in the audience the night Lara sang this..”Papa Can You Hear Me/Piece of Sky” in 1997.

Then you might want to hear “Broken Vow” from the same concert, the studio recording of “I Am A-Wa” from 2013.
I told you.
😁
Broken vow is amazing too The one where she's wearing a red dress I'll send you the link

Please also listen & react to Dimash Kudaibergen version of this song, you will love it too. Lara & Dimash performed a duet also of another song. Dimash is from Kazakstan & is world famous. Thank you 🙏
🇨🇦 Canadian female artists are BadAss !
If you have not done so already, try reacting to "I will love again" or The live duet with Johnny Hallyday and Lara Fabian, "Pour in fou" !
But do it quickly, before you read the 3 comments below from Eric Sicard !
When she sing in italiano is much better!
React " to love again" same live session
Ciao,per la prossima reazione puoi scegliere a caso nel mucchio di tutte le perle che ha prodotto e non importa neanche la lingua che sceglierai.....sarà comunque tutto fantastico !!!!!! Saluti 👋
React björk where is the line? 💛
