To see which of my previous Lara reactions you might have missed, head on over to the dedicated playlist here ua-cam.com/play/PL-tAjLxAAkA9gjvSiiNiKD-od5cSq_sKn.html
Lara is legendary. And well deserved. How about a return to Fauozia? She didn't get a chance to sing with Dimash on his return to this summer's Singer2024. Dimash sang with American R&B singer, Chanté Moore. And Faouzia sang with another previous competitor, well know Chinese artist, Jason Zhang. Unfortunately, all the performances until the finale were covers, but they were live, and had excellent Orchestral accompaniment. Faouzia did a lovely cover of Sting's 1999 "Desert Rose" and a self accompanied version of Bruno Mars' "Grenade". Hmm?
Lara Fabian is, in my opinion, the most incredible female vocalist. Please accept that this is a biased comment. Whether soft & breathy or strong & vibrant, her voice conveys pain, grief, and strength. She embodies the power of these emotions. I believe the images behind her are from the tragedy about which she’s singing - the all-too-common reality of a woman being killed by a male who confuses control with love. Thank you for another analysis/reaction for this most remarkable talent.
I am so very taken by this song and the performance of the great Lara Fabian...........there are many songs she has in her repertoire but two of my favorites are "parce que tu pars" ( roughly 'before you leave' ) and " I am a wa " ( "wa" is a kind of soul being ). Thank you for another fabulous Lara reaction.....she is incredible !
Thanks for reacting to Lara once again, Sir Hairless! This song is extremely touching and beautiful and Lara, as always, is absolutely perfection. No other singer conveys emotions the way she does. 🤎👸🏼🤎
Lara is a blessing to the musical humanity, she is the only motivation why I listen to pop music and yes, she uses all the technical skills in every sentence. And anyway, it doesn't matter if she is acting (because she is also an actress) or living the song (as I believe), how many singers do you know that involve you, move you and keep you glued to the screen for the whole duration of the song? Thanks for the comment, especially for the harmony part. 👍
The pictures you where asking about is from a video with Lara. So yes its Lara. I fall in love with this amazing singer every time I se and hear her. Thank you for a great analysis again. I wish I had your skills. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.
That's one of the saddest song of Lara, talking about pain, abusive relationships , murders against women. She sings in Spanish "Dejalo ir, amor no tiene". in English means "Let him go, this is not love " talking to women involved in abusive relationships . If you watch the official video.. It's really sad and hard. She gives hopes then, talking about problems, sharing pain, dreams and understanding, it could give a solution. ❤
The music video of this song leaves no question as to the meaning of this song. It is difficult. Lara was adamant that the video put intimate partner violence in front of us so that we might understand. Thank you once again.
Lara is such a stunning ‘Reina’ and you are such a gifted ‘Príncipe’ :) Gracias for another great analysis on Lara’s/Igor’s artistry! P.S.: I agree with you on the pronunciation of ‘un poco de paz’!😊
Lara is the ultimate queen of interpretation (lyrics with melody) for me. One reactor (actors coach) said: that's not acting, it is her living the lyrics. That's why I love her most. Always breaks my heart. And this is a hard song (she wrote it after seing a notice in news - a woman beaten to death by her husband). But this melody gives hope for other women to speak ...
It is easy to understand how Igor Krutoy built Dimash's career, having worked with Lara Fabian for so many years, building incredible vocal performances with her. And besides, Lara Fabian has been one of Dimash's idols since his early childhood. What an example for Dimash.

He was with 2 men carrying 2 huge flower bouquets. * In one of the bouquets, there was a CD, a CD of new musics composed by Igor. And he said: "if you have the chance to listen to it, I would like to hear your opinion" * She listened to it, liked it very very much and it inspired to write lyrics in different languages. She wrote these within 2 weeks. * So she called back Igor and announced it "OK, I've finished the songs". He asked :"What are you talking about?" * She replied: "You asked me to listen, it's very beautiful and I see where you are going , I understand why you written these for me, so I've written the texts. And I want this album to be titled Mademoiselle Zhivago." * They recorded all the songs in Studio within 2 months * At the end of the studio recording, Igor said: "you know, this could be a complete movie, about the lives of different women across the history. Instead of making music videos, let's create a complete movie. I will ask my friend Alan Badoev, to create the story connecting the songs" * It was a great success with more than 800,000 records sold in russia and eastern europe (huge numbers there).

Wow, Eric, thank you for all this information. I am still learning about Lara and her career and music. Llora is one of my favourite performances of Lara's and the video is heartbreaking. (By the way, my daughters have found an apartment near the concert in Toulouse. Only 11 months to go 😊.)
@ Lara also told the other reason why her mother chose “Lara”: she wanted a simple first name that her multinational family would pronounce the same way. Funny when you see many american reactors butchering it and saying “Laura” instead 😂
@ I am so happy when new people discover her artistry. I write these notes just to add some context and enrich their experience. Hope you will get some exciting time in Toulouse, my birthplace. I am talking about the city itself as I have no doubts about Lara’s concert 😀
The woman she dedicates this to was killed by her abusive husband while “authorities” did nothing. Lara also did an official video that is very difficult to watch,but very important to see. The pictures being shown behind her are from that video.Lara Fabian brings life’s pain to us by singing it and brings healing as well as joy! ❤ ua-cam.com/video/8Fh35Foo9CA/v-deo.htmlsi=eSG0UMcH1hnextcn
Lara's concerts have been and will continue to be a benchmark for the French-speaking world. This is one of my favourites "En toute intimité" Full English translation For our English-speaking friends ua-cam.com/video/NMHym4N4UXo/v-deo.htmlsi=W2NtNDdaIQCznKQy This concert has it all The quality of the image Lara's incredible voice Fabulously performed, intimate music And full English translation as close as possible to the lyrics This concert is Lara's soul A must-see
je trouve que Lara nous offre tout ce qu elle fait si bien une voix une présence une interprétation une humanité et avec I .krutoy une réussite merci à vous de découvrir tout ça je suis fan
Great reaction as usual. Just want to second all those who recommend the official vid of this. It's worth your time. The texture provided by the gut-wtenching video juxtaposed with the soaring music & hopeful lyrics makes...art. Would love to see your reaction to it.
A song composed by Igor Krutoy and with lyrics written by Lara herself. Lara had been living for about one year in Spain, in Marbella region, when she had been shocked by a scandal where a beaten woman died not being heard and protected by the local justice and police. This scandal led Spain to change their culture wrt to beaten women and become one of the most advanced countries regarding the protection of these women. The music video of this song is a must-see, masterpiece acting from Lara, very realistic and an impressive denunciation of home violence. ua-cam.com/video/Lf7_a0CqgM0/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
@@SirHairlessI realize that not much time has gone by but would be interested to know if you had a chance to watch the video. While the main subject is horrible, you were not wrong in your observation regarding uplifting elements. The message about having the courage to get out of a toxic relationship and regaining freedom is the most important aspect of the song…IMHO.
Lara is a lip-syncing/miming the song in this instance ..stick to the genuinely live performances Igor Krutoy is crafty when it comes to pulling off these heavily produced, intricately staged deceptions. Example being here: In this particular show/concert the Russian Maestro has interwoven true live performances with some of the prerecorded-for-playback variety. Another devious touch: Sometimes the musicians are really playing their instruments in time while only the vocal is "faked" on other occasions the entire performance is mimed , music and all.
Yes, those photos in the background are from the official studio version of this song. Lara is better live, but this particular video was quite effective at helping tell the story and is particularly good. And yes, she's an actress.
Ciao Sir......le foto che vedi alle spalle di LARA sono in parte tratte dal video ufficiale ( assolutamente da vedere) e in parte tratte dal mini film con vari episodi interpretato magistralmente da LARA e assolutamente anche questo è da vedere e il titolo è ( MADAMOISELLE ZHIVAGO). Ciao e tanti saluti.
This song is great! So touching and emotional 🥹 Thank you! I think you should see the performance of "Je suis malade" from this concert in Moscow. Lara sings this song exclusively with piano. A very powerful and intimate moment of the show
Yes! As soon as she started singing, I knew I had heard it before. But for what? Your comment told me. The sad video of her as an abused woman! Thank you!
Maria Voctoria was murdered by her husband in Spain. Became a big case. This is why you need to watch the video to get the full message. Please, please and please.
Lara Fabian, a Belgian/Canadian singer with a wonderful beautiful , strong but always velety voice in all 4.2 octaves of her range . A forgotten diamond and heavily undervalued in the United States .
Thank you Sir ❤ Love your reactions to Lara ❤ Another deep song from Lara ❤ This song makes me cry EVERY single time ❤ Lara Fabian - L’Oubli (Official Video) ua-cam.com/video/3ob-a4tPNcg/v-deo.html Please read what Lara herself writes about this song on her official video ❤ Live version Lara Fabian - L'oubli (Live at DiCaire Show, France, 2016) ua-cam.com/video/xr_sllCYUKI/v-deo.html Love Lara ❤ Love from Denmark ❤
If you want to see a video where Lara sing very low and very high in the same song, you should react to her live performance of "dites moi pourquoi je l'aime", the video's quality isn't the best but the sound is really great ! 😁
Hello a good analysis from you Sir.. You absolutely have to watch "vocalise" from this same concert 👌, I also strongly advise you to see the feature film from the album Mademoiselle Zhivago, a real masterpiece in which Lara shows all her talent as an actress in addition to that of great singers. The llora video is overwhelming😢
This("Llora") is a lip-synced/mimed performance .. Krutoy is crafty when it comes to pulling off these heavily produced, intricately staged deceptions. Example being here: In this particular show/concert the Russian Maestro has interwoven true live performances with some of the prerecorded-for-playback variety. Another devious touch: Sometimes the musicians are really playing their instruments in time while only the vocal is "faked" on other occasions the entire performance is mimed , music and all.
Thank you! I had not heard this song of Igor's and Lara's. It truly tells the story of women and abusive relationships and pain. Her voice and delivery is always so captivating and emotional. I always enjoy your analysis and your observations and especially, I love to watch your face as you listen. :)
For all your background image questions answered, you have to watch the cinematic video of this drama with an extraordinary Lara Fabian as an actress. LLORA ua-cam.com/video/8Fh35Foo9CA/v-deo.html
I and many of Sir H's viewers wish for a collab between Lara Fabian, Dimash, and Igor Krutoy. I love the contrasts Sir discerns between Lara and Dimash as they perform the same piece. Onstage, both make incredible connections with their audiences. To me, Lara's stage presence feels intimate: one-on-one with each person; while Dimash's feels collective or encompassing: he draws his whole audience in as a group. Crowd size doesn't matter, nor the artists' genders. It's the different emotive styles of their performances. This would make a duet even more interesting.
@Francesco71rm you are right! I watched the UA-cam video of that performance two years ago and somehow forgot it (how on earth can I forget anything Dimash does???). Just watched again.⚘️
@@elliehart-2point0 also the song "Your Love" that Dimash sings .. Lara wrote the lyrics, and Igor the music, and they gave it to Dimash. Also there is the song "Know".. Lara and Igor wrote this song, they initially called it " Vocalise ascolta la voce" and Lara did sing first. (even if it's really just vocalizing.. There is only few words "Ascolta la Voce, la senti la voce, la voce" ) Then Dimash covered it with a Russian lyrics written by Igor
Normally i always recommend the live performances from Lara, but in this case i would choose the official video, It's much more impactful ua-cam.com/video/8Fh35Foo9CA/v-deo.htmlsi=rifTDSaxHIw84OCn
Thank you for this reaction, it's actually the first time I hear that song as well and I'm happy I found it here. Also, I can recommend you another song from Lara: you're not from here Love your reactions btw, probably my favorites out there. You have a very different approach when you analyse the songs from others and it's really interesting.
Thanks for this analysis. Really enjoy your videos. had to comment on this one though. Surprised you haven't noticed her playback. I've found that all of Lara Fabian's performances of this song are actually playback. I'm a native Spanish speaker and in all these "live" performances she mispronounces certain words the same way. They are all exactly as in the studio recording version. This explains her microphone so close to her mouth all the time. Sad that she never managed to sing it live again. Beautiful song, yet sad.
THIS ONE was actually live (for real)... you'll notice the different attitude and confidence in her singing and gestures, and mic movements,. Still an incredible performer. But just sad that the one covered was playback. ua-cam.com/video/C8EHJ09TBMk/v-deo.html
In most any language in singing, not all syllables are pronounced for a variety of reasons. Yes, poco is two syllables but she choose to do it as one, it perhaps it is common in some parts of Spain.
In spanish, it is pronounced un poco (poko). In Italian however, poco can be abbreviated to po' to signify something even smaller (equivalent to poquito in spanish). So I imagine that could be the reason she omitted the last syllable since she is a native italian speaker. And as someone who speaks multiple romantic languages, it is easy to mix them up sometimes due to how similar they are. Or it could be just for melodic purposes.
Buna! Ar fi superb daca ai adauga limba romana la toate reactiile tale, as urmari mai multe daca as intelege ce spui 😐 din cate am putut intelege, e foarte interesant si profesionist ceea ce ne comunici, dar din pacate nu stiu decat foarte putin limba engleza... aceeasi rugaminte ti-am adresat-o si pentru reactiile tale la toate melodiile lui Dimash ❤ as fi foarte fericita daca ai face asta 🥰 Multumesc 🙏
Great reaction and analysis as always! It's notable that she is lip-syncing here (as a Spanish native speaker it's easy to notice) Apparently it's common in Russia to have this playback requirements but I'm still confused since most of her performances from this concert are truly live, and she did this particular song live 4 years later too Anyways I'd like to suggest Yentl Medley from Lara (the one live in Montreal), the cover from Barbra Streisand's musical Your expert commentary about the composition would be interesting besides the mind-blowing, amazing performance
Thanks! See my comments below re my thoughts on this (you should be notified as you comments on that thread also) Yentl Medley is on my list for a future reaction 👌
If you love Lara then you must take a look at the young Dutch girl Emma Kok. She performed a rendition of Barbara Pravi's 'Voilá' last year with the famous conductor André Rieu. She poured her heart out and went viral, it's a must see! Prior to the song André gives a small intro on Emma. It's essential for further explanation on why she sings this song to watch the intro! ua-cam.com/video/KdIhq1tb8Co/v-deo.htmlsi=5zlB09l_Y19T0E3Z Highly recommended! She made me feel things I hadn't felt for years.
While Lara’s talent is undeniable it is important to understand that she is not a diva. Eric Sicard has mentioned many times that she is humble and very approachable. Beyond that however is someone with off the charts emotional intelligence and has incredible social magnanimity. Her support of the LGBT community is well documented, shining a light on domestic abuse like in Llora is also typical. She is a philanthropist and does incredible work with children and aspiring singers. Her Llora video is tough to watch but because it is unvarnished (at Lara’s insistence) it is profoundly impactful. I agree with the others that you should watch it but you may not want to do a reaction. It is these glimpses of Lara that emphasize the totality of her gift to her fans.
Great reaction, mate...Lara dedicated the song to María Victoria, a woman who was a victim of domestic violence and was killed by her partner. Here is the official video from the original song, and the pictures are from it: ua-cam.com/video/8Fh35Foo9CA/v-deo.htmlsi=WDprupQRSx0C1v6C
I would like to propose you a different video, and since you are one of the best at analyzing music that I have seen on the internet, if not the best, and since every live performance of Lara is unique, I would like you to make an analysis of this song, with parts of it from 1998 to 2022, which is when this fan made this compilation. It's a pretty short track, but I think it would be very interesting to hear your analysis of it. On the other hand, although I met her like many with "Je suis malade" and my favorite track is "J'y crois encore", I would also love to see your analysis of the track "Perdere l'amore", a wonderful track, I leave you the link to both videos in case you want to do an analysis of both: ua-cam.com/video/CJ1cH9Mlz-M/v-deo.html / ua-cam.com/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/v-deo.html. By the way, thank you very much for all your videos, which, even if I don't have any interesting comments to make, I enjoy them enormously.
This is a lip-synced/mimed performance ..my advice would be to limit or reserve your analysis/ "reactions" to Lara's genuinely *live* singing efforts. Krutoy is crafty when it comes to pulling off these heavily produced, intricately staged deceptions. Example being here: In this particular show/concert the Russian Maestro has interwoven true live performances with some of the prerecorded-for-playback variety. Another devious touch: Sometimes the musicians are really playing their instruments in time while only the vocal is "faked" on other occasions the _entire_ performance is mimed , music and all.
I've said in many of my previous videos (whether it be Lara, Dimash, anyone else) that I choose not to speak about my thoughts on live vs lip-synced My channel is about the music, and I don't want my videos to get too long so I focus on that. We know these artists are exceptional and can perform live, and there's a reason they're as celebrated as they are. There are enough channels out there who focus on this (and other negatives) and we don't need another one in me There could be a number of reasons why a performance can't be truly live; often out of the artist's control. Everything comes down to politics at the end of the day, after all. So yeah, I don't mention this and give credit to the artists and composers because I think credit is due, irrespective of live vs non-live A lot of acapella is featured on my channel, and a similar idea comes about through studio recordings vs live performances. They shouldn't be discredited for doing a music video and studio audios. Live performances are often not as high quality for obvious reasons, and fans will complain. Fans will also complain if the performance isn't live, as it isn't as 'authentic'. It seems a lose-lose in many cases 😅 I do see an issue if the performers claim the performance is live, when it isn't. But then people could argue that it's still a live performance, just more acting than singing, and having a pre-recorded voice results in a better sound quality with no chance of singing off-tune etc... Overall, it's definitely an interesting area but for the reasons above, I choose not to discuss it in my videos ☺ I'd rather talk about the music / why the song is how it is / why it makes me feel certain ways etc

Thank you very much for this new analysis
Lara is legendary. And well deserved.
How about a return to Fauozia? She didn't get a chance to sing with Dimash on his return to this summer's Singer2024. Dimash sang with American R&B singer, Chanté Moore. And Faouzia sang with another previous competitor, well know Chinese artist, Jason Zhang.
Unfortunately, all the performances until the finale were covers, but they were live, and had excellent Orchestral accompaniment.
Faouzia did a lovely cover of Sting's 1999 "Desert Rose" and a self accompanied version of Bruno Mars' "Grenade".

That's one of the saddest song of Lara, talking about pain, abusive relationships , murders against women.

Paroles magnifiques chantée avec splendeur par lara...superbe❤❤❤
Lara is such a stunning ‘Reina’ and you are such a gifted ‘Príncipe’ :) Gracias for another great analysis on Lara’s/Igor’s artistry!
P.S.: I agree with you on the pronunciation of ‘un poco de paz’!😊

It is easy to understand how Igor Krutoy built Dimash's career, having worked with Lara Fabian for so many years, building incredible vocal performances with her. And besides, Lara Fabian has been one of Dimash's idols since his early childhood. What an example for Dimash.
The oboe is one of my favourite instruments. Such a beautiful tone. It makes me teary eyed just hearing that tone - so sad.

Some additional info about Dr Zhivago's album:

* So she called back Igor and announced it "OK, I've finished the songs". He asked :"What are you talking about?"

Thank you for this explanation and for the links to the exquisite songs enumerated.
Wow, Eric, thank you for all this information. I am still learning about Lara and her career and music.
Llora is one of my favourite performances of Lara's and the video is heartbreaking.
(By the way, my daughters have found an apartment near the concert in Toulouse. Only 11 months to go 😊.)
Thank you so much, Eric. I have often wondered if there was a connection to Dr. Zhivago's Lara. That is one of my favorite movies ever.
@ Lara also told the other reason why her mother chose “Lara”: she wanted a simple first name that her multinational family would pronounce the same way.
Funny when you see many american reactors butchering it and saying “Laura” instead 😂
@ I am so happy when new people discover her artistry.
I write these notes just to add some context and enrich their experience.
Hope you will get some exciting time in Toulouse, my birthplace. I am talking about the city itself as I have no doubts about Lara’s concert 😀
Verry good analyse...perfect lara ❤
Lara and Dmitri Hvorostovsky, " Toi et moi" it's a high class performance for you to enjoy. ❤ from Romania!
The woman she dedicates this to was killed by her abusive husband while “authorities” did nothing. Lara also did an official video that is very difficult to watch,but very important to see. The pictures being shown behind her are from that video.Lara Fabian brings life’s pain to us by singing it and brings healing as well as joy! ❤

"Uplifting"....I'm sitting here in floods of tears. No one shows emotion like Laura, except maybe Dimash😅. Thank you for your reaction, handsome man.

Thank's for your beautiful react about Queen Lara...❤❤❤🫂🫂🫂
Very entertaining reaction as always
Thank you. I love watching your face as you listen to Lara. ❤
je trouve que Lara nous offre tout ce qu elle fait si bien une voix une présence une interprétation une humanité et avec I .krutoy une réussite merci à vous de découvrir tout ça je suis fan
finally, someone who know what he talks about
thank you Sir Hairless for everything, I learned something because of your videos
Великолепно!!!!! Спасибо за реакцию!!!
thanks for the reaction
Great reaction as usual. Just want to second all those who recommend the official vid of this. It's worth your time. The texture provided by the gut-wtenching video juxtaposed with the soaring music & hopeful lyrics makes...art. Would love to see your reaction to it.
A song composed by Igor Krutoy and with lyrics written by Lara herself.
Lara had been living for about one year in Spain, in Marbella region, when she had been shocked by a scandal where a beaten woman died not being heard and protected by the local justice and police.
This scandal led Spain to change their culture wrt to beaten women and become one of the most advanced countries regarding the protection of these women.
The music video of this song is a must-see, masterpiece acting from Lara, very realistic and an impressive denunciation of home violence.

Thanks Eric!
Oui mais ici la chanson a plus de place je trouve, les 2 prestations s'équilibrent
@@SirHairlessI realize that not much time has gone by but would be interested to know if you had a chance to watch the video. While the main subject is horrible, you were not wrong in your observation regarding uplifting elements. The message about having the courage to get out of a toxic relationship and regaining freedom is the most important aspect of the song…IMHO.
Lara❤
You should have watched the video she made. She makes such a strong point in it. Please watch it to get the full meaning as she painted it.
Lara is a lip-syncing/miming the song in this instance ..stick to the genuinely live performances
Igor Krutoy is crafty when it comes to pulling off these heavily produced, intricately staged deceptions. Example being here: In this particular show/concert the Russian Maestro has interwoven true live performances with some of the prerecorded-for-playback variety.
Another devious touch: Sometimes the musicians are really playing their instruments in time while only the vocal is "faked" on other occasions the entire performance is mimed , music and all.
My favorite singer
Yes, those photos in the background are from the official studio version of this song. Lara is better live, but this particular video was quite effective at helping tell the story and is particularly good. And yes, she's an actress.
Thank you for your wonderful reaction. ❤
Ciao Sir......le foto che vedi alle spalle di LARA sono in parte tratte dal video ufficiale ( assolutamente da vedere) e in parte tratte dal mini film con vari episodi interpretato magistralmente da LARA e assolutamente anche questo è da vedere e il titolo è ( MADAMOISELLE ZHIVAGO). Ciao e tanti saluti.
Thanks for the info!
Oh yessss!!!! I'm first! ❤
Wooo
This song is great! So touching and emotional 🥹 Thank you!
I think you should see the performance of "Je suis malade" from this concert in Moscow. Lara sings this song exclusively with piano. A very powerful and intimate moment of the show
María Victoria was a Spanish woman that was beaten to dead by her husband, I recomend. you to watch the video
Yes! As soon as she started singing, I knew I had heard it before. But for what? Your comment told me. The sad video of her as an abused woman! Thank you!
Very sad to learn about this
thank you for the info
Maria Voctoria was murdered by her husband in Spain. Became a big case. This is why you need to watch the video to get the full message. Please, please and please.
Lara Fabian, a Belgian/Canadian singer with a wonderful beautiful , strong but always velety voice in all 4.2 octaves of her range . A forgotten diamond and heavily undervalued in the United States .
Thank you Sir ❤

merci c est toujours un plaisir de vous entendre et penser que votre curiosité est bien présente pour des jolies découvertes
If you want to see a video where Lara sing very low and very high in the same song, you should react to her live performance of "dites moi pourquoi je l'aime", the video's quality isn't the best but the sound is really great ! 😁
I am begging of you to do the official video as soon as possible. It will completely change the way you find the song. Those are from the video.
Hello a good analysis from you Sir.. You absolutely have to watch "vocalise" from this same concert 👌, I also strongly advise you to see the feature film from the album Mademoiselle Zhivago, a real masterpiece in which Lara shows all her talent as an actress in addition to that of great singers. The llora video is overwhelming😢
This("Llora") is a lip-synced/mimed performance ..

Loooooove your videos reaction to lara
Thank you! I had not heard this song of Igor's and Lara's. It truly tells the story of women and abusive relationships and pain. Her voice and delivery is always so captivating and emotional. I always enjoy your analysis and your observations and especially, I love to watch your face as you listen. :)
You need to see Lara's cover Of Yentel Medley originally by Barbra STREISAND. It is outstanding and it is live from the Molsen Center in Montreal.
For all your background image questions answered, you have to watch the cinematic video of this drama with an extraordinary Lara Fabian as an actress.
LLORA ua-cam.com/video/8Fh35Foo9CA/v-deo.html
Apropos of nothing, oboes, cellos and french horns are my favorite instruments. In my mind their effect is the same…..touching your soul
I and many of Sir H's viewers wish for a collab between Lara Fabian, Dimash, and Igor Krutoy. I love the contrasts Sir discerns between Lara and Dimash as they perform the same piece. Onstage, both make incredible connections with their audiences. To me, Lara's stage presence feels intimate: one-on-one with each person; while Dimash's feels collective or encompassing: he draws his whole audience in as a group. Crowd size doesn't matter, nor the artists' genders. It's the different emotive styles of their performances. This would make a duet even more interesting.
@@elliehart-2point0 they did actually in 2019, the song is called "Ti amo così".
Lara Fabian, Dimash and Aida Garifullina. Written by Igor Krutoy.
@Francesco71rm you are right! I watched the UA-cam video of that performance two years ago and somehow forgot it (how on earth can I forget anything Dimash does???). Just watched again.⚘️
@@elliehart-2point0 also the song "Your Love" that Dimash sings .. Lara wrote the lyrics, and Igor the music, and they gave it to Dimash. Also there is the song "Know".. Lara and Igor wrote this song, they initially called it " Vocalise ascolta la voce" and Lara did sing first. (even if it's really just vocalizing.. There is only few words "Ascolta la Voce, la senti la voce, la voce" )
Then Dimash covered it with a Russian lyrics written by Igor
Normally i always recommend the live performances from Lara, but in this case i would choose the official video, It's much more impactful ua-cam.com/video/8Fh35Foo9CA/v-deo.htmlsi=rifTDSaxHIw84OCn
Lara is born in Belgium in 1970 from a belgian father and an italian mother
Pictures you see are from mini movie based on the album Mlle Zhivago. Highly recommend you check it out.
Give me oboe, cello, and a fine voice: trifecta.
Thank you for this reaction, it's actually the first time I hear that song as well and I'm happy I found it here. Also, I can recommend you another song from Lara: you're not from here
Love your reactions btw, probably my favorites out there. You have a very different approach when you analyse the songs from others and it's really interesting.
Thank you so much!
Here is my reaction to You're Not From Here: ua-cam.com/video/4CjLLNZA1Wc/v-deo.html
elle s,investi complètement comme toujours dans ses chansons
Thanks for this analysis. Really enjoy your videos. had to comment on this one though. Surprised you haven't noticed her playback. I've found that all of Lara Fabian's performances of this song are actually playback. I'm a native Spanish speaker and in all these "live" performances she mispronounces certain words the same way. They are all exactly as in the studio recording version. This explains her microphone so close to her mouth all the time. Sad that she never managed to sing it live again. Beautiful song, yet sad.
Exact same audio (because it's the studio version) you can compare to this one, in here: ua-cam.com/video/s67X7vmC60g/v-deo.html
THIS ONE was actually live (for real)... you'll notice the different attitude and confidence in her singing and gestures, and mic movements,. Still an incredible performer. But just sad that the one covered was playback. ua-cam.com/video/C8EHJ09TBMk/v-deo.html
See my comments on this in response to another comment by @maxine-x4x
I would like to make a question, do you speak spanish? because your pronuntiation is very good
Haha thank you! No I don't speak Spanish
The vidéo clip of the song was so "réal and hard" that Spain choosed it in a sensibilisation campain on this subject
not sure if you already saw " The story of one sky " by Dimash . If you didn't, you should definitely react to it ..
In most any language in singing, not all syllables are pronounced for a variety of reasons. Yes, poco is two syllables but she choose to do it as one, it perhaps it is common in some parts of Spain.
In spanish, it is pronounced un poco (poko). In Italian however, poco can be abbreviated to po' to signify something even smaller (equivalent to poquito in spanish). So I imagine that could be the reason she omitted the last syllable since she is a native italian speaker. And as someone who speaks multiple romantic languages, it is easy to mix them up sometimes due to how similar they are. Or it could be just for melodic purposes.
the final song in this show was sang in Russian wich was incredible, I haven't seen any reaction on that
really nice song though
'..was _sung_ ..'
yes thank you
English is my third lunguage sorry@@maxine-x4x
Buna! Ar fi superb daca ai adauga limba romana la toate reactiile tale, as urmari mai multe daca as intelege ce spui 😐 din cate am putut intelege, e foarte interesant si profesionist ceea ce ne comunici, dar din pacate nu stiu decat foarte putin limba engleza... aceeasi rugaminte ti-am adresat-o si pentru reactiile tale la toate melodiile lui Dimash ❤ as fi foarte fericita daca ai face asta 🥰 Multumesc 🙏
Great reaction and analysis as always!
It's notable that she is lip-syncing here (as a Spanish native speaker it's easy to notice)
Apparently it's common in Russia to have this playback requirements but I'm still confused since most of her performances from this concert are truly live, and she did this particular song live 4 years later too
Anyways I'd like to suggest Yentl Medley from Lara (the one live in Montreal), the cover from Barbra Streisand's musical
Your expert commentary about the composition would be interesting besides the mind-blowing, amazing performance
Thanks! See my comments below re my thoughts on this (you should be notified as you comments on that thread also)
Yentl Medley is on my list for a future reaction 👌
Not a favorite, but the ending note. Wow, just perfect Lara.
you need to see the video to this song, it is a battered woman, i think the video may be banned for the graphic nature in the video
What a title for today... sad day... we've lost Quincy Jones and a brazilian famous tenor Agnaldo Rayol. Well, thanks.
If you love Lara then you must take a look at the young Dutch girl Emma Kok. She performed a rendition of Barbara Pravi's 'Voilá' last year with the famous conductor André Rieu. She poured her heart out and went viral, it's a must see! Prior to the song André gives a small intro on Emma. It's essential for further explanation on why she sings this song to watch the intro!
ua-cam.com/video/KdIhq1tb8Co/v-deo.htmlsi=5zlB09l_Y19T0E3Z
Highly recommended! She made me feel things I hadn't felt for years.
voir perdere l amore en italien tellement d,autres...vous
une reprise de ranieri à écouter merci à vous
Yes the right word is poco, a bit
Her Italian side came out here 😊.. "Un poco" it's the same in Italian and Spanish ( "a little" ). But in Italy we tend to say it shortly:
Un po' 😊.
@@Francesco71rm Interesting! Thanks
While Lara’s talent is undeniable it is important to understand that she is not a diva. Eric Sicard has mentioned many times that she is humble and very approachable. Beyond that however is someone with off the charts emotional intelligence and has incredible social magnanimity. Her support of the LGBT community is well documented, shining a light on domestic abuse like in Llora is also typical. She is a philanthropist and does incredible work with children and aspiring singers. Her Llora video is tough to watch but because it is unvarnished (at Lara’s insistence) it is profoundly impactful. I agree with the others that you should watch it but you may not want to do a reaction. It is these glimpses of Lara that emphasize the totality of her gift to her fans.
Great reaction, mate...Lara dedicated the song to María Victoria, a woman who was a victim of domestic violence and was killed by her partner. Here is the official video from the original song, and the pictures are from it: ua-cam.com/video/8Fh35Foo9CA/v-deo.htmlsi=WDprupQRSx0C1v6C
I would like to propose you a different video, and since you are one of the best at analyzing music that I have seen on the internet, if not the best, and since every live performance of Lara is unique, I would like you to make an analysis of this song, with parts of it from 1998 to 2022, which is when this fan made this compilation. It's a pretty short track, but I think it would be very interesting to hear your analysis of it. On the other hand, although I met her like many with "Je suis malade" and my favorite track is "J'y crois encore", I would also love to see your analysis of the track "Perdere l'amore", a wonderful track, I leave you the link to both videos in case you want to do an analysis of both: ua-cam.com/video/CJ1cH9Mlz-M/v-deo.html / ua-cam.com/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/v-deo.html.
By the way, thank you very much for all your videos, which, even if I don't have any interesting comments to make, I enjoy them enormously.
et elle chante en spanish
si vous le pouvez regardez l'interview qu elle donne cette année et qui s'appelle...en aparté vous la decouvrirez u n peu plus
une curiosite...Lara chantant urgent désir une chanson écrite par des canadiens c est great pour moi and you?
This is a lip-synced/mimed performance ..my advice would be to limit or reserve your analysis/ "reactions" to Lara's genuinely *live* singing efforts.
Krutoy is crafty when it comes to pulling off these heavily produced, intricately staged deceptions. Example being here: In this particular show/concert the Russian Maestro has interwoven true live performances with some of the prerecorded-for-playback variety.
Another devious touch: Sometimes the musicians are really playing their instruments in time while only the vocal is "faked" on other occasions the _entire_ performance is mimed , music and all.
I have noticed that, it's weird since 4 years later she sings this live, she can sing anything
I've said in many of my previous videos (whether it be Lara, Dimash, anyone else) that I choose not to speak about my thoughts on live vs lip-synced
My channel is about the music, and I don't want my videos to get too long so I focus on that. We know these artists are exceptional and can perform live, and there's a reason they're as celebrated as they are. There are enough channels out there who focus on this (and other negatives) and we don't need another one in me
There could be a number of reasons why a performance can't be truly live; often out of the artist's control. Everything comes down to politics at the end of the day, after all. So yeah, I don't mention this and give credit to the artists and composers because I think credit is due, irrespective of live vs non-live
A lot of acapella is featured on my channel, and a similar idea comes about through studio recordings vs live performances. They shouldn't be discredited for doing a music video and studio audios. Live performances are often not as high quality for obvious reasons, and fans will complain. Fans will also complain if the performance isn't live, as it isn't as 'authentic'. It seems a lose-lose in many cases 😅
I do see an issue if the performers claim the performance is live, when it isn't. But then people could argue that it's still a live performance, just more acting than singing, and having a pre-recorded voice results in a better sound quality with no chance of singing off-tune etc...
Overall, it's definitely an interesting area but for the reasons above, I choose not to discuss it in my videos ☺ I'd rather talk about the music / why the song is how it is / why it makes me feel certain ways etc
