    More information about Lara Fabian:
    Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, .... In my personal opinion, she is even the best.
    There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register.
    So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence:
    • she speaks 4 languages fluently (french, italian, english, spanish) and has sung in 12 languages in total
    • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks. 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, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia). She was raised in both countries so she speaks both french and italian as native languages.
    She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory. She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today.
    She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She now lives in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship
    She became very famous there and then conquered France in 1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music).
    in 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, 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 Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar thru her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years.
    She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace" used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera topped the charts for months.
    Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban, …
    With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there.
    Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA is now rediscovering her.
    She is Dimash's idol: I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep.
    He covered many of her songs (that she performed originally ; she also wrote some of these)
    Out of my mind I can list:
    • Adagio,
    • Mademoiselle Hyde,
    • Know,
    • Love of tired swans,
    She also wrote the lyrics of his song « Your Love ».
    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 performed originally with Dmitriy Hvorostovsky and Alina Yaroyava then again later with Dmitriy and Sumi Jo, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida.
    Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy who came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him.
    Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs:
    • Floor Jansen (Adagio)
    • Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime)
    • Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie)
    • Morissette Amon (Broken Vow)
    • Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace)
    • Cakra Khan (Broken Vow)
    • Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow)
    • Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade)
    • Almira from 4th impact (Broken Vow)
    • Forestella (Je suis malade)
    • ....
    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.

    Hello 👋 From Morocco 🇲🇦
    On that historic evening, Lara Fabian took the Adagio to another level.. 😨🎤
    " Adagio" It means in Italian "slowly", Lara killed us slowly

    I loved the woman in her 30 year with her intensity and her vocal performances.
    I loved the 40 year old with her willingness to discover many different musical styles, always with a fabulous voice.
    And I love the woman in her 50s who has managed to preserve her voice through hard work, adapting to the evolution of her voice while retaining that little bit of enthusiasm and complicity that makes us melt.
    I will love you forever and ever
    Even if you start rap🥵
    ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Arguably, the greatest storyteller in musical history. Her show "From Lara With Love", is perhaps the greatest recorded concert in musical history. I use "greatest" a lot when discussing Lara......because she is the......

    That bellowing is usually called a "belt," as in "She belted out the notes." Lara Fabian was indeed classically trained from a young age.
    Her vocal quality is quite clear, isn't it? Her ability to connect and draw the listener into the song is is also obvious. I agree that this is
    a song about separation and longing for a love. Thanks for your reaction--it's fun to see someone experience her talent for the first
    time. You may be interested in another song from the same concert, (in English), "You're Not From Here." Instead of a love longed for,
    YNFH portrays the fascination at love's first touch. On a first hearing, it may not sound difficult to sing, because Lara sounds so
    utterly natural singing it. But it seems to be a very hard song to cover because of the level of skill required. And don't deprive yourself
    of her songs in other languages, many on UA-cam have English subtitles, and her brilliant storytelling and voice are on full display in
    say, "Caruso" or "Je T'aime", etc. It's hard to go wrong with live performances of anything in her catalogue

    About Adagio: this is indeed a classic music piece from the 50s that was transformed into a pop ballad and Lara wrote the lyrics in English and in Italian for this song.
    The song apparently has 2 different meaning: waiting for her love / waiting for the inspiration god

      Here's an excerpt of Adagio in G-minor of the original. ua-cam.com/video/gEjJ2ladX0Q/v-deo.html
      No one ever talks about how amazing that Lara can transform this classic to a pop song! I would love to ask her how she went about writing this. I know adagio is a music term meaning a slow graceful passage....she managed to use the term beautifully in this song! When I first heard it, I thought she was singing to someone named Adagio lol!

    Lara wrote the lyrics and sang it in 1999. Turns out Dimash is a huge Lara fan (they have actually sung together) and performed this song spectacularly in 2017 on the Chinese show, The Singer. Dimash may not be as big a "crush" as Lara, but I think you check out his version, too. It's mind-boggling!

    Wow! Your comment about the slow bass being the embodiment of "adagio" as a slow heartbeat... Wow! I haven't heard anyone else say anything; nor had I thought of it. But is totally IS! Well done, sir! I love that observation.
    I will join my voice to those asking for more Lara reactions.

    Omg she brings me to tears 😭 every time I hear her sing this. I subscribed to you when I saw your were reacting to my favorite female singer. She has such emotion when she performs. If you want to hear another amazing mind blowing performance of adagio listen to Dimash adagio from singer 2017. Not sure if you have heard him before if not you must. He is known as the best singer in the world. He is from Kazakhstan and shas a 7 octave range. Lara happens to be a friend and a mentor to Dimash. You will see a lot of similarities in their performances.

    Great reaction !
    You just discovered one of the greatest vocalist ever, many say Lara is the “4th member of the vocal trinity” with Whitney, Celine and Mariah.
    But she is also the absolute best when it comes to living a song and pulling you in.
    She is under appreciated in english speaking countries for reasons I will detail in a separate comment but she is a legend and a goddess in Europe, Central Asia and Brazil.
    This song is from a legendary concert and I recommend several other songs from it : Caruso, Je suis Malade, You are not from here, Broken Vow, Perdere l’Amore
    You can use this plyalist with HQ videos and english subtitles when needed:

    @HBK Luke Hey, bud! I loved the way you reacted to it. And I told you that you wouldn’t regret it. Thanks again! And good job on the pronunciation , but from now on I’ll be using my real name.hehe. ( former Sanmarcio)👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    Waooo!!, amazing reaction my friend Luke!!... Would you like to reach 6,000 or more subscribers this week?...Well here you have your best gift of your life!!....Lara Fabian is the best female singer and performer of the world!!....And she is the idol of the best male singer of the world: Dimash Kudaibergen!!...Today it is very rare to find reactors like you who have never reacted to Dimash, a amazing singer with 7 octaves and 3 semitones vocal range (An alien) ...I am going to dare to recommend that you meet Dimash, because when you do it for the first time, your life as reactor will change forever ....For example, the number of views that you have today, it will increase by 300% in a matter of a few hours and you will get a lot of new subscribers.....But when you react to Dimash, don't do it with his most recent songs ... I recommend that you go to the year 2017 and react to the song that made him a global idol ... I mean the performance he did Dimash from the famous French song called "SOS D'un Terrien en Détresse", when he participated in the famous Chinese reality show The Singer in that year 2017 ... With that performance Dimash earned the reputation of being the best singer on the planet, so I recommend you start with that one.... You can also start with the other famous live version of that song that Dimash did the following year 2018 when he was invited to the famous Slavic Bazzar festival in Belarus .... Both performances are from another planet...And I have to give you a warning: Never react to The World Best videos, because they suck!...Your life will never be the same again, after reacting for the first time to Dimash...And your first reaction to Dimash will be something very special, so I recommend that you do the best job of your life as a reactor, because that first video will be seen by thousands of people around the world, maybe millions...I hope to see you first reaction soon and if you don't mind, I'd like you to mention me as the person who recommended reacting to Dimash....Here you have the best high quality video of Dimash performing S.O.S. Live 2017.....ua-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/v-deo.html

    I always thought she should have been up there with Whitney, Celine and Mariah in that period but she was really being done a disservice because her albums were overproduced making them a hard sell on the radio back then, and so not getting the live opportunities in the US she deserved to get.
