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, Aretha, Shirley Bassey, 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 10,000+ 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 200+ songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music, and is at the source of the melodic line. • 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 and grand mother on father side is dutch, but she also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( the father of her mother is from Detroit). She had been raised in Sicilia first for 7 years 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 only moved away from opera to pop because she is first and foremost a songwriter. After her Eurovision participation in 1988 (4th), she really started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She had been living for years in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship. She moved to Sicilia end of 2022. She became very famous in Quebec in the early 90s with several double platine records 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 was 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, packed with masterpieces (covered by many great vocalists later on). 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), Linda Eder, … 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 (singers from every region in the world: from China and Taiwan, to Philippines, Indonesia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Netherlands, Greece, Israel, Lebanon, Italy, France, Belgium, Norway, UK, USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Central Africa, …) ○ 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), ○ Charice Penpengco (Adagio), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Dmitri Hvorostovsky (Adagio), ○ 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), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Pauline Aguirre (Adagio)), ○ George Peris (Broken Vow, Humana), ○ Vitas (Adagio), ○ Wanessa Camargo (Love by Grace), ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Jeck (Je T’Aime), ○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio), ○ Anne Sila (pas sans toi, Tu es mon autre), ○ The Canadian Tenors (Adagio), ○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio), ○ Sarah Naura Irbah (Mademoiselle Hyde), ○ Elisabetta Rinaldi (Adagio), ○ Alyona Yarushina (Adagio), ○ Marie Payet (Pas sans toi), ○ Laurh (Immortelle), ○ Inger Lise Hope (Adagio), ○ Håkon Sønsterud Tollefsrød (Broken Vow), ○ Flora Tandi (Bambina), ○ Cindy Chao (Yeliel My Angel), ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Abraham Mateo (Adagio), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Russel Watson (Adagio), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ Annointed (Love by Grace), ○ 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 2022 and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular. On April, May, June 2023 she had again some wonderful concerts in Tbilissi, Georgia, then in Ouzbekhistan, Kazakhstan, Romania. She is about to release a new album and just completed another popular tour in eastern europe (Czech Republic, Moldavia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkiye, Hungary) and in Canada in april-june 2024. She also appeared as a guest in some big events such as Hauser’s concert in Royal Albert Hall (May 9th 2024). Then, after some rest and a few TV Shows, she will tour France in 2025. The first song of her new album (titled "Ta Peine" - Your Sorrow) was released late January 2024 and is a success in France. The second “Je t’ai cherché”(I looked for you) was released early october 2024, another success! Her album is expected to be released in on Nov 29. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
Eric, vraiment... avez-vous une vie en dehors de ... Lara ?! Franchement, vous devriez vous abstenir de réciter le même épître à chaque fois que quelqu'un commente sur Lara. Je suis aussi admiratif que vous mais pas au point de vouloir à tout prix m'afficher comme un 'expert'... Il est grand temps que vous vous calmiez
@@fredericlinden je poste des commentaires pour tous ceux qui la découvrent, pas ceux qui la connaissent déjà , et je reçois tous lee jours des remerciements de leur part. Donc je compte continuer, dèsolè. Vous n’avez qu’à ignorer mes commentaires.
@@ericsicard910You're doing something extraordinary important, in my opinion your efforts are a great service to those who want to discover wonderful music and out-of-this-world performances. Please don't get discouraged because someone just feels somehow entitled to insult you. You brought valuable information as a comment to a FIRST TIME reaction to Lara's incredible performance. Most will find it timely an will appreciate it! Don't give up, please.
This video version has english subtitles and a short mini interview before. And the minute after the last note where she finds it hard to resurface. She is not a storyteller, she is a storyliver: she lives the emotions of the story in real time, which establishes an intimate conversation with you and channels emotions directly to your soul. ua-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/v-deo.html
Hi!, You seem to be a great admirer of Lara and you know very well her skills as a great artist. I liked reading your comment here. I hope we meet again sometime 🤞😊. My best wishes 👋
There's a version of this with French and English subtitles. I strongly recommend you watch that, because if you got emotional without actually understanding the lyrics, the lyrics will destroy you.
“Je suis Malade”, now a french classic, was written by famous French singer & songwriter Serge Lama together with composer/singer Alice Dona in 1973. This is based on his own experience and he was the original performer, hence some lyrics are a bit male-oriented (eg my mother leaves me, whiskies, I pour my blood in your body, …). When Serge Lama had a dinner with Alice Dona and told her about his obsessive love that was leading to a road block, she came back home and composed the music in a couple of hours. The morning after, she presented him the music and he wrote the lyrics in … 20 minutes. Serge Lama was the original performer in 1973, it started to be promoted on the radio, and the song was brought to fame only when, a few months after, Dalida covered it. She was an absolute mega star in France, another emotional powerhouse, and this song resonated very much with her own feelings. Her success with this song transformed it into a french classic, and started to make it famous abroad. But it is Lara Fabian that really made this song a very popular song in many countries with her cover in the mid 90s. At that time Dalida had already passed away, but Serge Lama was (and is) still alive. Dalida and Serge were two inspirations for Lara, so she sent an audio copy to Serge of her version. She was unknown at that time in France but he was so impressed with her vocal skills and her emotions rendering that he invited her in France to sing it as a duet during his own Paris concert in January 1995. It was a triumph. So he sat in a front row seat and asked her to sing it again alone. Lara also had made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power. Serge and Lara became good friends and performed several other duets later on. The 1999 version ("From Lara with Love" Concert in Montreal) ua-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/v-deo.html is legendary internationally and has attracted many artists to do a cover, even from non french-speaking countries. The most recent ones I am aware of are from italian singer Giulia Falcone, from the korean singer Choi Sung Hoon or from the korean band Forestella. Lara is used to perform the song very differently in each of her tour and for instance the En Toute Intimité, 2003, Paris Olympia version is even more dramatic ua-cam.com/video/SyILdRAOS88/v-deo.html

When she covers a song, she often makes it her own. Some amazing covers she made: • Je suis malade (french, song from Serge Lama): ua-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/v-deo.html ( her version was covered by Forestella, Giulia Falcone, …) • Caruso (italian, song from Lucio Dalla): ua-cam.com/video/BP2KnLemT78/v-deo.html • Perdere L'Amore (italian, song from Massimo Ranieri): ua-cam.com/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/v-deo.html • Yentl Medley (Papa can you hear me + A piece of sky, chained , cover of her idol Barbra Streisand, english): ua-cam.com/video/zW8lalHMwxk/v-deo.html • I will always love you (cover of Dolly Parton / Whitney Houston, english): ua-cam.com/video/4f-wx-ue89U/v-deo.html • Love by grace (cover of Wynona Judd, english): ua-cam.com/video/8V0pGXZxxzE/v-deo.html (her version was covered by Gabriel Henrique) • Calling You (cover of Jevetta Steele, english): ua-cam.com/video/KkfXEb_VyLM/v-deo.html • Voir un ami pleurer (cover of Jacques Brel, french): ua-cam.com/video/TEnJu1Dthvs/v-deo.html • Quand on n’a que l’amour (cover of Jacques Brel, french): ua-cam.com/video/rW7iusDbYjY/v-deo.html Also a few famous duets: • Requiem pour un fou (with Johnny Hallyday, french) : ua-cam.com/video/zR1rkt_0biA/v-deo.html • The Prayer (with Michael Bolton, english): ua-cam.com/video/M__6PFD1YEw/v-deo.html • La Solitudine (with Laura Pausini, italian): ua-cam.com/video/Bgv-jUZH60w/v-deo.html • Il y a (with Isabelle Boulay, french): ua-cam.com/video/F61JEarOwuo/v-deo.html • Et maintenant (with Florent Pagny, french): ua-cam.com/video/Mi0E0pLLxf0/v-deo.html And her famous trio: • Ti Amo Cosi (with Dimash and Aida Garafulina, italian): ua-cam.com/video/XaQFfqC3lnU/v-deo.html
There's a reason that Lara was one of Dimash's (and so many other young performers) main idols and inspirations as he was growing into his own artistry. He ended up covering several of Lara's songs (Adagio, Mademoiselle Hyde, Love is a dream, love of tired swans...), and even sang several duets with her. I sooo wish you selected the version with the English subtitles as she LIVED the story line, and would have appreciated her performance so much more knowing the story she was telling. Fear not, Lara is one of the best emotional story tellers you'll ever see, and there are plenty other magnificent performances for you to appreciate and react to, including some in English. Oh, Lara is an actress as well. You got that big time!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Lara Fabian. You have just discovered what every singing teacher dreams of showing to their students. Lara Fabian is a great idol for Dimash and they have even sung together. She is one of the greatest singers of her time, following in the footsteps of Barbara Streisand. Thank you from Montreal.
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
I've watched a good number of your reactions to Dimash and many other great vocalists, and I'm so pleased you have at long last reacted to Lara Fabian. Not only is she an exceptionally gifted singer with a vocal resonance second to none; she is also an incredible performer and storyteller. without equal. She conveys emotion on stage better than any other vocalist I've ever witnessed. And she does so in such an authentic and believable manner, not in a scripted way. I hope you will explore more of the discography of this great artist!
Ohhh, Lara Fabian. Still the best performer we have after all these decades. Please do more of hers. BTW, please do some more of my Gigi too. She has many great covers of the 80s and 90s.
Lara Fabia's songs are something different than what you usually expect. Their feeling and presentation is in a class of its own. No wonder that, for example, Dimas has taken lessons from Lara, according to his own words
I think you missed some part after she finished her performance, she was needed to back to reality and she shaking. I think this is best performance I've seen on my whole life. And another thing I've been seen 3 other live performance of this song. Every performance is unique and not like other performances. I really love your reactions . I learned from you so much and I really adore you
Her ability to connect emotion to people who don't even know the languages of most of the songs, is unmatched. The greatest singer I've ever seen perform live.
I can picture you sitting in front of a class of young students wanting to be a singer, an artist extraordinaire. You begin by telling them exactly what you're telling us on this video. Then, to give them an actual example of what you mean, you tell them, "I'm going to show you a video and after it is over we will speak about what you just saw. Okay?" Can you imagine what that conversation with your class would be like after listening to Lara sing and perform for them?
Hello Janet along time no see😊. Yes Lara is indeed a well established singer. She knows how to project to the audience the story of her character etc. loved your analysis of Lara Fabian. Awesome
🇨🇦 I only ask you one thing ! Listening to this, has anyone ever made you feel like this before ? This is why Lara is the Best, Most talented artist in the last 25+ years ! 🇨🇦
Long story short, she wasn't very much promoted in the USA (or other places beyond Canada and Europe) for reasons but she is one of the best of the best singers and performers ever
Lara is a polyglot, and I dare say near 100% fluency of the languages she masters (including the body gestures). I think that's what makes her a GREAT story teller.
You cut the video too short. Lara stayed „in the zone“ for another 30 sec or so after the song ended and only then realized that the audience had applauded with standing ovations, which kind of overwhelmed her again! Stunning performance!
Please see a more recent version of this song in a concert called Intimité 2003- a next level performance you will remember the rest of your young life!!!!!!!
xxx-FYI: She’s absolutely beautiful at 54 - LARA (not Laura) Fabian (Fah-bey-ahn) with links: Lara Fabian is a Canadian (Québécoise) of Belgian birth and Italian/Franco/Flemish cultural heritage. Lara studied piano, composition, and voice at a Brussels Conservatory for a decade. Lara is a full lyric soprano with a vocal range that spans four octaves (A5, B4, BB4, C3, C5, C#5, D5, E5, EB5, F5, F#5, G5) in live performances. She is multilingual; she speaks Italian, French, Spanish, and English and has sung in 12. Lara, who describes herself as a songwriter/singer, creates a high emotional connection with the listener. She has a discography of over 400 songs, has sold over 25 million records, and plays at sold-out venues worldwide. She lives with her husband and daughter in Montreal, Brussels and Sicily. I’m a ‘fan’ because of her high level ‘EQ’ (emotional intelligence) expressed in the text of her songs.

I must confess I did laugh when you genuinely asked at the beginning, before launching her video, « let’s see if she has some stage presence ». I knew it would just take you a few seconds to understand. Lol I was thinking to myself: just wait a bit, you will see, you have never seen a performer like her. She is famous in the world for many different skills, but probably the 2 where she is second-to-none are : 1/ her resonance (she is known as The Ring in the music industry) and 2/ her interpretation skills and insane and intense emotional conveying skills, whatever the language she sings. You can check her Yentl Medley cover or her Requiem pour un fou duet to get a confirmation she has no peer in this specific arena.
Same here, 10 seconds in and was already thinking "oh you are going to like this" I think "stage presence" doesn't do her justice, maybe "stage omni-presence" would be more adequate 😂
As great as this performance is and it really is the live performance she did of this song in 2003 is truly remarkable. There are a couple of moments in that song that are just epic and the ending well that's the cream on top.
I hope it won't take you too long before you react to more from the same concert From Lara With Love. Adagio and Broken Vow in English, Caruso and Perdere Lamore in Italian. Love you.
To watch Lara Fabian is to witness in masterclass in evoking the essence of every single word every single breath and note... Each performance feels like she has never sang this before, it's immediate and intimate and real
Lara Fabian my favourit singer of her generation or all time. This wonderful artist hits you like a train If she wants to. Her singingskills and storytelling is beyond masterclass. This concert "From Lara with love" has many amazing songs. I saw her perform in Tallin 2022. She is still going strong. You should check her out moore. Thank you for a great reaction. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤🎉
Finally, at long, long last! A bit disappointed, though, that you viewed the wrong video. This one ended early. There are others that show her still "in the zone" for a good 10 seconds after the end of the song while the audience was applauding wildly.
She sings a duet with Johnny Hallyday at his concert at Stade de France 1998 in pouring rain: "Requiem pour un fou" ua-cam.com/video/PHwIF6jmOCY/v-deo.html. Speaking of STAGE Presence!! Goosebumps all over!
Loved your reaction, and that you enjoyed her without subtitles! ❤ Please pick any other song from this concert, as they are all fantastic: "Adagio", "Caruso", "Perdere L'amore", "Broken Vow"... you can't go wrong. She is a master storyteller with world class vocal talent. She is first and foremost a live singer, so stay clear of studio versions.
You see even in french you can feel the song . This is why many said if you want to learn how to sing ,you have to listen to Lara Fabian . Thank you for your great reaction on our Queen Madam Lara Fabian
You should have wait at the end. She kept that stage prescence for much more afternshe ended... you should see it. The version has captions in french and english
I remember your first reaction to Dimash SOS!!!! Since then i spend hours every week to look at reaction of Dimash and Lara!! You see now why Lara was and still is Dimash’ idol since he was in his teens. He learned from her story telling, crowd and scene control..etc You can see her with Dimash and Aida Garifullina in Ti Amor Cosi. I always loved your reactions!
At 89 years old. Lara was on my bucket list. And thank God for my daughter, we got to see her. We had a storm in Florida, so our flight was cancelled. My daughter made me take a train to Orlando Florida. And then, take a plane to Orlando Florida, then we took a plane to OttawaCanada. And then And made my dream come true. n
Je constate que votre fille et vous, êtes plein d’abnégation, cher Paul ! Dieu, recherche justement des personnes comme vous et votre fille, pour rentrer à son service. 🙂
I am very surprised that, until now and as a stage presence coach, you have never been aware of one of the truly great stage performers. May I respectfully suggest that you explore more of Lara's performances, there are plenty on UA-cam...
Best female singer and performer, bar none, in the world. I never need her lyrics in English to feel the emotion of her words and performance. A master was born and named Lara Fabian.
Lara is the best story teller in the world. You could put the captions on if you want the words. If you want another emotional Lara song, please try. Broken Vow
👉 Lara Fabian, *1970, is a world famous Belgian-Canadian singer, songwriter, musician, actress and producer. She is Belgian but also has Italian roots (her mother is from Sicily). She grew up in both countries and therefore speaks both French and Italian as her mother tongue. She was classically trained in singing, piano and song composition for 10 years (from 8 to 18) at the Brussels Royal Conservatory. To this day she has singing lessons and trains several times a week. She started her career in Canada in the early 1990s. She now lives in Montreal and also has Canadian citizenship. She is fluent in 4 languages (French, Italian, English, Spanish) and has sung in a total of 12 languages. She has sold over 20 million records worldwide as of September 2017 and is one of the best-selling Belgian artists of all time. In 2000, Lara launched her triumphal procession in the US, but a falling out with Sony over her artistic direction and the will of Celine Dion's management to block her path to the US thwarted that plan. She therefore focused on Europe again and had great success there, expanding her reach to Eastern Europe and Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her many years of collaboration with Igor Krutoy.( He composed also for Dimash) She's also a star in Brazilia. Many of their songs are now classics and are covered by other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban... The US is now rediscovering her through her covers of Lara Fabian songs. She is Dimash's idol. He has covered some of her songs. She also wrote the lyrics to his song 'Your Love' and they finally met at Igor Krutoy's birthday party and sang Ti Amo Cosi (composed by Igor Krutoy) together with Aida Garafulina: Lara is one of the best singers in the world, for me the most soulful singer! 👉 Suggestion: * Lara Fabian - Broken Vow - ua-cam.com/video/eEujtnQNQKw/v-deo.html * Lara Fabian and Johnny Hallyday singing a epic rock-song - Requiem pour un fou/ Requiem for a Mad Man - ua-cam.com/video/PHwIF6jmOCY/v-deo.html * Lara Fabian - Caruso - ua-cam.com/video/ch7Dz2CIRy4/v-deo.html * Lara Fabian - Je t'aime - Live in Paris, 2001 - ua-cam.com/video/IYnFwUbC9A8/v-deo.html * Lara Fabian and Igor Krutoy - Les feuilles mortes / Dead leaves ua-cam.com/video/hCyej7qrwWY/v-deo.html * Lara Fabian - Llora (MV) - ua-cam.com/video/8Fh35Foo9CA/v-deo.html * Lara Fabian - Adagio - ua-cam.com/video/jKtNuLG5jAo/v-deo.html * Lara Fabian - Mademoiselle Hyde - ua-cam.com/video/DuSDdjU4S8M/v-deo.html
She is a wonderful singer and storyteller. I recommend you to also see her performance on Adagio (in English) or Caruso (in Italian), stunning and breathtaking. Many thanks for your reaction !
If you would have wathed the version with the double subtitle (french and english) you would have seen her just stay silent at least 20 seconds, after the song ended, just to regain herself. She put all her soul in the song
Unforgettable moment in Paris when during a show where Lara was going through difficult times, the crowd sang with her, each declaring their love. UA-cam. (Je t'aime-Live in Paris-2001) P.S.:If I remember correctly, his pianist asked him to sit down and wait for what happened next. Hence her gaze towards him. The crowd started singing. Someone wrote on another blog: ''My sister was there and I have to tell you what happened. As someone already told you, Lara was going through a very difficult time. the fans knew it and some of them went to meet Lara’s artistic director who is also the pianist here. They told him what they wanted to give him. He accepted. My sister didn't know anything about it at the time but when she was in the crowd before the start of the concert, there in the audience, information was circulating quickly and seriously and then my sister (like others) was told to be ready on cue to sing: “I love you” for Lara. Now let's talk about the beginning of the video. Lara takes a position and the pianist begins to play the little intro... then he stops playing just one bar before Lara begins to sing. of course Lara noticed this and thought there was a problem (which sometimes happens live of course). That's why she didn't start singing and look at the pianist because he stopped to play. Of course, that was the signal for the public. You see the result of this wonderful ambush.''
Please react to her singing Adagio and Broken Vow (both are in english). She's one of the top singers out there, amazing voice, pouring out all the emotions to the audiance. She touches your heart and soul in all ways possible...
Lara Fabian is amazing. I think you would enjoy Ginette Reno and Celine Dion - Un peu plus haut un peu plus loin. Its the best live and emotional performance i have ever seen.
It's correct when you mentioned that it's difficult to transmit an emotion through a song if you haven't experienced it, but here if I remember correctly, Lara Fabian lived this relationship well, otherwise you have to ask Angelina Jordan how she does it.
"Tu m'as videe de tout mes mots." (sorry for spelling, French my 3rd language) You've stolen all of my words (or literally you've emptied me out of all my words) That line hits so hard. Everytime it's raining in my eyes and soul.
As has been said here and so many other places, Lara is a singer of such rare talent, but the rarest gift of all is her ability to evoke emotion, she lives each and every song she sings. Even Dimash, who is a masterful singer, and evokes emotion, still has a way to go to match Lara's level. People will say that Lara and Celine are so similar, while there are some similarities, Celine NEVER had the versatility that Lara has. I am still in disbelief that, even when they both were surrounded by the same music produces and executives in the late 90's, Celine became "the superstar" say MUCH about the sad politics of the music business.
You may have missed the most important part of the video. After she finishes the song it continues . It takes her a moment for her to “ come out of the performance” and it is , to me , the most revealing part of the video.
The song sung by Lara Fabian is Je suis malade. It dates back to the 1970s and was written by a man named Serge Lama. The lyrics speak about his relationship with his mother, whom he saw very little. Lara Fabian created an extraordinary version filled with emotion.
You should have picked version with subtitles then you would have needed some tissue with you. What is more striking is when she finished and was still connected to the song, she was like shivering or restless. Masterpiece
Welcome to the wonderful world of the best female performer of this century ! She always sings from her soul to ours, wrote more than 200 songs in english, french, spanish and italian, sings in 12 languages, plays piano, lyric soprano, 30 million albums sold, major star around the world exept in the USA, now at age 54 she is even better, if thats possible and will have her new album for sale at the end of november, the only thing, she is not human, shes from an other planet for sure
Beautiful description, I agree 100%, she's something else. I discovered her early this year and, boy was I in for a treat. She's a magnificent artist who somehow manages to make me cry almost every time. Thank you for existing!
@@ssantelha While in Russia 2010, she worked with the famous composer Igor Krutoy and they made a musical movie Mademoiselle Zhivago 58 min. Igor composed the music, Lara wroted the Lyrics, also played as the main actress and singer, un Chef-d'oeuvre, a musical masterpiece psesented at the Kremlin who was sold out for all the presentations, cant wait to watch your reaction of Mademoiselle Zhivago
@@robertsirois8341 I will find it and watch it, for sure.
@@robertsirois8341 Just watched it, it's magnificent, the visuals, her voice, her acting. Gorgeous.
No other performer makes me feel the way Lara does. 👸🏼 She sings like she’s in her living room telling a very intimate story just for us.
So true.
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, Aretha, Shirley Bassey, 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 10,000+ 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 200+ songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music, and is at the source of the melodic line.
• 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 and grand mother on father side is dutch, but she also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( the father of her mother is from Detroit). She had been raised in Sicilia first for 7 years 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 only moved away from opera to pop because she is first and foremost a songwriter.
After her Eurovision participation in 1988 (4th), she really started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada.
She had been living for years in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship. She moved to Sicilia end of 2022.
She became very famous in Quebec in the early 90s with several double platine records 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 was 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, packed with masterpieces (covered by many great vocalists later on).
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), Linda Eder, …
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 (singers from every region in the world: from China and Taiwan, to Philippines, Indonesia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Netherlands, Greece, Israel, Lebanon, Italy, France, Belgium, Norway, UK, USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Central Africa, …)

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 2022 and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular.
On April, May, June 2023 she had again some wonderful concerts in Tbilissi, Georgia, then in Ouzbekhistan, Kazakhstan, Romania.
She is about to release a new album and just completed another popular tour in eastern europe (Czech Republic, Moldavia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkiye, Hungary) and in Canada in april-june 2024. She also appeared as a guest in some big events such as Hauser’s concert in Royal Albert Hall (May 9th 2024). Then, after some rest and a few TV Shows, she will tour France in 2025.
The first song of her new album (titled "Ta Peine" - Your Sorrow) was released late January 2024 and is a success in France. The second “Je t’ai cherché”(I looked for you) was released early october 2024, another success! Her album is expected to be released in on Nov 29.
Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
Eric, vraiment... avez-vous une vie en dehors de ... Lara ?! Franchement, vous devriez vous abstenir de réciter le même épître à chaque fois que quelqu'un commente sur Lara.

You brought valuable information as a comment to a FIRST TIME reaction to Lara's incredible performance. Most will find it timely an will appreciate it!
Don't give up, please.
This video version has english subtitles and a short mini interview before. And the minute after the last note where she finds it hard to resurface.
She is not a storyteller, she is a storyliver: she lives the emotions of the story in real time, which establishes an intimate conversation with you and channels emotions directly to your soul.

Hi!, You seem to be a great admirer of Lara and you know very well her skills as a great artist. I liked reading your comment here. I hope we meet again sometime 🤞😊. My best wishes 👋
@@Koma_Texeld i think I’ve seen you somewhere else … 😀
A masterclass in storytelling
There's a version of this with French and English subtitles. I strongly recommend you watch that, because if you got emotional without actually understanding the lyrics, the lyrics will destroy you.
“Je suis Malade”, now a french classic, was written by famous French singer & songwriter Serge Lama together with composer/singer Alice Dona in 1973.
This is based on his own experience and he was the original performer, hence some lyrics are a bit male-oriented (eg my mother leaves me, whiskies, I pour my blood in your body, …).
When Serge Lama had a dinner with Alice Dona and told her about his obsessive love that was leading to a road block, she came back home and composed the music in a couple of hours.
The morning after, she presented him the music and he wrote the lyrics in … 20 minutes.
Serge Lama was the original performer in 1973, it started to be promoted on the radio, and the song was brought to fame only when, a few months after, Dalida covered it. She was an absolute mega star in France, another emotional powerhouse, and this song resonated very much with her own feelings. Her success with this song transformed it into a french classic, and started to make it famous abroad.
But it is Lara Fabian that really made this song a very popular song in many countries with her cover in the mid 90s.
At that time Dalida had already passed away, but Serge Lama was (and is) still alive. Dalida and Serge were two inspirations for Lara, so she sent an audio copy to Serge of her version.
She was unknown at that time in France but he was so impressed with her vocal skills and her emotions rendering that he invited her in France to sing it as a duet during his own Paris concert in January 1995. It was a triumph. So he sat in a front row seat and asked her to sing it again alone.
Lara also had made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power. Serge and Lara became good friends and performed several other duets later on.
The 1999 version ("From Lara with Love" Concert in Montreal)
ua-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/v-deo.html
is legendary internationally and has attracted many artists to do a cover, even from non french-speaking countries.
The most recent ones I am aware of are from italian singer Giulia Falcone, from the korean singer Choi Sung Hoon or from the korean band Forestella.
Lara is used to perform the song very differently in each of her tour and for instance the En Toute Intimité, 2003, Paris Olympia version is even more dramatic
ua-cam.com/video/SyILdRAOS88/v-deo.html
Yup, this is a masterclass in storytelling.
Lara is one of those rare artists who just sings the feeling into our souls...

Welcome to the Lara effect. She offers a masterclass in every performance. She is the best.
There's a reason that Lara was one of Dimash's (and so many other young performers) main idols and inspirations as he was growing into his own artistry. He ended up covering several of Lara's songs (Adagio, Mademoiselle Hyde, Love is a dream, love of tired swans...), and even sang several duets with her. I sooo wish you selected the version with the English subtitles as she LIVED the story line, and would have appreciated her performance so much more knowing the story she was telling. Fear not, Lara is one of the best emotional story tellers you'll ever see, and there are plenty other magnificent performances for you to appreciate and react to, including some in English. Oh, Lara is an actress as well. You got that big time!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Lara Fabian. You have just discovered what every singing teacher dreams of showing to their students. Lara Fabian is a great idol for Dimash and they have even sung together. She is one of the greatest singers of her time, following in the footsteps of Barbara Streisand. Thank you from Montreal.
Few singers can make you feel the song Lara is magnificent
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

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
I've watched a good number of your reactions to Dimash and many other great vocalists, and I'm so pleased you have at long last reacted to Lara Fabian. Not only is she an exceptionally gifted singer with a vocal resonance second to none; she is also an incredible performer and storyteller. without equal. She conveys emotion on stage better than any other vocalist I've ever witnessed. And she does so in such an authentic and believable manner, not in a scripted way. I hope you will explore more of the discography of this great artist!
One of the best live performances ever. I'll never get tired of watching it. Simply stunning. Thanks 👋
Ohhh, Lara Fabian. Still the best performer we have after all these decades. Please do more of hers.
BTW, please do some more of my Gigi too. She has many great covers of the 80s and 90s.
Including a cover of Lara (Broken Vow)
Lara Fabia's songs are something different than what you usually expect. Their feeling and presentation is in a class of its own. No wonder that, for example, Dimas has taken lessons from Lara, according to his own words
I think you missed some part after she finished her performance, she was needed to back to reality and she shaking. I think this is best performance I've seen on my whole life. And another thing I've been seen 3 other live performance of this song. Every performance is unique and not like other performances. I really love your reactions . I learned from you so much and I really adore you
Her ability to connect emotion to people who don't even know the languages of most of the songs, is unmatched. The greatest singer I've ever seen perform live.
I can picture you sitting in front of a class of young students wanting to be a singer, an artist extraordinaire. You begin by telling them exactly what you're telling us on this video. Then, to give them an actual example of what you mean, you tell them, "I'm going to show you a video and after it is over we will speak about what you just saw. Okay?" Can you imagine what that conversation with your class would be like after listening to Lara sing and perform for them?
Thank You for your beautiful reaction
Yayyyyyy! I knew you would love Lara Fabian. been waiting for this for a long time.
Take care, one more of Lara and you could become addicted 😁
No wonder why she is Dimash (and lot of other songers) idol!
Hello Janet along time no see😊. Yes Lara is indeed a well established singer. She knows how to project to the audience the story of her character etc. loved your analysis of Lara Fabian. Awesome
🇨🇦 I only ask you one thing ! Listening to this, has anyone ever made you feel like this before ? This is why Lara is the Best, Most talented artist in the last 25+ years ! 🇨🇦
Long story short, she wasn't very much promoted in the USA (or other places beyond Canada and Europe) for reasons but she is one of the best of the best singers and performers ever
Lara is a polyglot, and I dare say near 100% fluency of the languages she masters (including the body gestures).
I think that's what makes her a GREAT story teller.
You cut the video too short. Lara stayed „in the zone“ for another 30 sec or so after the song ended and only then realized that the audience had applauded with standing ovations, which kind of overwhelmed her again! Stunning performance!
Not her fault the version of the video she took stop like that , there is 2 popular version. One with the ending and one without
@@anthalas1 Yes, that's right.
Please see a more recent version of this song in a concert called Intimité 2003- a next level performance you will remember the rest of your young life!!!!!!!
xxx-FYI: She’s absolutely beautiful at 54 - LARA (not Laura) Fabian (Fah-bey-ahn) with links: Lara Fabian is a Canadian (Québécoise) of Belgian birth and Italian/Franco/Flemish cultural heritage. Lara studied piano, composition, and voice at a Brussels Conservatory for a decade. Lara is a full lyric soprano with a vocal range that spans four octaves (A5, B4, BB4, C3, C5, C#5, D5, E5, EB5, F5, F#5, G5) in live performances. She is multilingual; she speaks Italian, French, Spanish, and English and has sung in 12. Lara, who describes herself as a songwriter/singer, creates a high emotional connection with the listener. She has a discography of over 400 songs, has sold over 25 million records, and plays at sold-out venues worldwide. She lives with her husband and daughter in Montreal, Brussels and Sicily.
I’m a ‘fan’ because of her high level ‘EQ’ (emotional intelligence) expressed in the text of her songs.

Janet, listen to her live performance "Je t'aime"
Beautiful performance ❤❤Lara is amazing, magical, wonderful ❤❤
Thank you Janet!!!🥰
I’m shocked that you haven’t been here yet. But great for us
I must confess I did laugh when you genuinely asked at the beginning, before launching her video, « let’s see if she has some stage presence ».
I knew it would just take you a few seconds to understand. Lol
I was thinking to myself: just wait a bit, you will see, you have never seen a performer like her.
She is famous in the world for many different skills, but probably the 2 where she is second-to-none are :
1/ her resonance (she is known as The Ring in the music industry) and
2/ her interpretation skills and insane and intense emotional conveying skills, whatever the language she sings.
You can check her Yentl Medley cover or her Requiem pour un fou duet to get a confirmation she has no peer in this specific arena.
Same here, 10 seconds in and was already thinking "oh you are going to like this"
I think "stage presence" doesn't do her justice, maybe "stage omni-presence" would be more adequate 😂
Same here!!!😅
Hi there, thanks for the reaction, you can react to Love by grace live performance from the juno awards... Enjoy
As great as this performance is and it really is the live performance she did of this song in 2003 is truly remarkable. There are
a couple of moments in that song that are just epic and the ending well that's the cream on top.
I hope it won't take you too long before you react to more from the same concert From Lara With Love. Adagio and Broken Vow in English, Caruso and Perdere Lamore in Italian. Love you.
To watch Lara Fabian is to witness in masterclass in evoking the essence of every single word every single breath and note... Each performance feels like she has never sang this before, it's immediate and intimate and real
I love your comments and reactions! You now understand why Lara is the idol of Dimash since his early age!!
masterclass !
Lara Fabian my favourit singer of her generation or all time. This wonderful artist hits you like a train If she wants to. Her singingskills and storytelling is beyond masterclass. This concert "From Lara with love" has many amazing songs. I saw her perform in Tallin 2022. She is still going strong. You should check her out moore. Thank you for a great reaction. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤🎉
Lara the best the queen ❤❤❤❤
I saw Lara in concert in Ottawa in June of this year and at age 54 she is still spectacular. Lara is the Queen.
Happy you found this ❤
So much more of Lara, will not disappoint 😊
Finally, at long, long last!
A bit disappointed, though, that you viewed the wrong video. This one ended early. There are others that show her still "in the zone" for a good 10 seconds after the end of the song while the audience was applauding wildly.
lollll when you said « let’s see if she has some stage presence ». 😅 i said to myself , boyyy are you in for a treat 😁
queen lara x
If you don't understand French, I highly recommend a translation. It breaks your heart
You should add the lyrics you will understand the such touching words and the story. Unforgettable !
She sings a duet with Johnny Hallyday at his concert at Stade de France 1998 in pouring rain: "Requiem pour un fou" ua-cam.com/video/PHwIF6jmOCY/v-deo.html. Speaking of STAGE Presence!! Goosebumps all over!
Lara❤
Loved your reaction, and that you enjoyed her without subtitles! ❤
Please pick any other song from this concert, as they are all fantastic: "Adagio", "Caruso", "Perdere L'amore", "Broken Vow"... you can't go wrong.
She is a master storyteller with world class vocal talent.
She is first and foremost a live singer, so stay clear of studio versions.
I have watched her sing this i don't know how many times and everytime it brings tears. Broken Vow is another one you have to see.
You see even in french you can feel the song . This is why many said if you want to learn how to sing ,you have to listen to Lara Fabian . Thank you for your great reaction on our Queen Madam Lara Fabian
You should have wait at the end. She kept that stage prescence for much more afternshe ended... you should see it. The version has captions in french and english
🇨🇦 Read the comment(s) from Eric Sicard to get a full understanding of Lara ! 🇨🇦
Too bad you stopped the video and didnt watch her reaction while the audience applaud cause that was VERY important.
It's really not that important, the main thing is that she made a Lara reaction.
@@danielakeller7532 Still.. The way Lara had to come back to earth after her song is VERY significant.
@@ThirstyTunaTaco Might have taken her 5 minutes.
She didn't stop the video. This copy of the video stopped there.
😂😂
J'adore votre réaction votre émotion ❤La plus belle chanson Française 🟦⬜🟥 lara fabien est exceptionnelle !!!!!
I remember your first reaction to Dimash SOS!!!! Since then i spend hours every week to look at reaction of Dimash and Lara!! You see now why Lara was and still is Dimash’ idol since he was in his teens. He learned from her story telling, crowd and scene control..etc You can see her with Dimash and Aida Garifullina in Ti Amor Cosi. I always loved your reactions!
At 89 years old. Lara was on my bucket list. And thank God for my daughter, we got to see her. We had a storm in Florida, so our flight was cancelled. My daughter made me take a train to Orlando Florida. And then, take a plane to Orlando Florida, then we took a plane to OttawaCanada. And then And made my dream come true. n
Je constate que votre fille et vous, êtes plein d’abnégation, cher Paul !
Dieu, recherche justement des personnes comme vous et votre fille, pour rentrer à son service. 🙂
I am very surprised that, until now and as a stage presence coach, you have never been aware of one of the truly great stage performers. May I respectfully suggest that you explore more of Lara's performances, there are plenty on UA-cam...
Best female singer and performer, bar none, in the world. I never need her lyrics in English to feel the emotion of her words and performance. A master was born and named Lara Fabian.
The Queen... she is beyond amazing👍
Lara is just the best!
Perfect performance
Great reaction ❤
Thank you ❤
Love Lara ❤
Love from Denmark ❤
You need to watch on and see her reaction after the song….. 😮❤
You'll never find another singer like Lara that sings with such emotion and portraying tragedy at times.
Merci pour cette jolie réaction, bonne continuation à vous.❤
Lara is the best story teller in the world. You could put the captions on if you want the words.
If you want another emotional Lara song, please try. Broken Vow
She's a Queen
Welcome to the World of one of the Best singers ever.
👉 Lara Fabian, *1970, is a world famous Belgian-Canadian singer, songwriter, musician, actress and producer. She is Belgian but also has Italian roots (her mother is from Sicily). She grew up in both countries and therefore speaks both French and Italian as her mother tongue. She was classically trained in singing, piano and song composition for 10 years (from 8 to 18) at the Brussels Royal Conservatory.
To this day she has singing lessons and trains several times a week. She started her career in Canada in the early 1990s. She now lives in Montreal and also has Canadian citizenship. She is fluent in 4 languages (French, Italian, English, Spanish) and has sung in a total of 12 languages. She has sold over 20 million records worldwide as of September 2017 and is one of the best-selling Belgian artists of all time.
In 2000, Lara launched her triumphal procession in the US, but a falling out with Sony over her artistic direction and the will of Celine Dion's management to block her path to the US thwarted that plan.
She therefore focused on Europe again and had great success there, expanding her reach to Eastern Europe and Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her many years of collaboration with Igor Krutoy.( He composed also for Dimash) She's also a star in Brazilia.
Many of their songs are now classics and are covered by other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban...
The US is now rediscovering her through her covers of Lara Fabian songs.
She is Dimash's idol. He has covered some of her songs. She also wrote the lyrics to his song 'Your Love' and they finally met at Igor Krutoy's birthday party and sang Ti Amo Cosi (composed by Igor Krutoy) together with Aida Garafulina:
Lara is one of the best singers in the world, for me the most soulful singer!

reacts Lara Fabian - Je T'aime 😊
LA MEJOR DEL MUNDO.
The Warning, Rammstein, Nightwish and now Lara Fabian.
You are getting great recommendations on this channel! 😃
She is a wonderful singer and storyteller. I recommend you to also see her performance on Adagio (in English) or Caruso (in Italian), stunning and breathtaking. Many thanks for your reaction !
If you would have wathed the version with the double subtitle (french and english) you would have seen her just stay silent at least 20 seconds, after the song ended, just to regain herself. She put all her soul in the song
Magnífica Lara ❤❤❤❤
Unforgettable moment in Paris when during a show where Lara was going through difficult times, the crowd sang with her, each declaring their love. UA-cam.
(Je t'aime-Live in Paris-2001) P.S.:If I remember correctly, his pianist asked him to sit down and wait for what happened next. Hence her gaze towards him. The crowd started singing. Someone wrote on another blog: ''My sister was there and I have to tell you what happened. As someone already told you, Lara was going through a very difficult time. the fans knew it and some of them went to meet Lara’s artistic director who is also the pianist here. They told him what they wanted to give him. He accepted. My sister didn't know anything about it at the time but when she was in the crowd before the start of the concert, there in the audience, information was circulating quickly and seriously and then my sister (like others) was told to be ready on cue to sing: “I love you” for Lara. Now let's talk about the beginning of the video. Lara takes a position and the pianist begins to play the little intro... then he stops playing just one bar before Lara begins to sing. of course Lara noticed this and thought there was a problem (which sometimes happens live of course). That's why she didn't start singing and look at the pianist because he stopped to play. Of course, that was the signal for the public. You see the result of this wonderful ambush.''
MUCH MORE EMOTIONAL WITH LYRICS... You miss MANY THINGS without them...
Subtitled version easy to find.
More than perfect ❤
it's even better when you take into account the lyrics
There is a version with English subtitels. You should see that
Please do
Please react to her singing Adagio and Broken Vow (both are in english). She's one of the top singers out there, amazing voice, pouring out all the emotions to the audiance. She touches your heart and soul in all ways possible...
Lara Fabian is amazing. I think you would enjoy Ginette Reno and Celine Dion - Un peu plus haut un peu plus loin. Its the best live and emotional performance i have ever seen.
Did you put the English subtitles on?
It's correct when you mentioned that it's difficult to transmit an emotion through a song if you haven't experienced it, but here if I remember correctly, Lara Fabian lived this relationship well, otherwise you have to ask Angelina Jordan how she does it.
"Tu m'as videe de tout mes mots." (sorry for spelling, French my 3rd language)
You've stolen all of my words (or literally you've emptied me out of all my words)
That line hits so hard. Everytime it's raining in my eyes and soul.
Lara is Over The Top, please more reactions! For example, listen to Caruso.
I’m surprised all of this UA-camr singing and music specialists none of them never heard of Lara Fabian 😂😂
As has been said here and so many other places, Lara is a singer of such rare talent, but the rarest gift of all is her ability to evoke emotion, she lives each and every song she sings. Even Dimash, who is a masterful singer, and evokes emotion, still has a way to go to match Lara's level. People will say that Lara and Celine are so similar, while there are some similarities, Celine NEVER had the versatility that Lara has. I am still in disbelief that, even when they both were surrounded by the same music produces and executives in the late 90's, Celine became "the superstar" say MUCH about the sad politics of the music business.
hi Janette, if you want to liste more Fabian and sée hiw she IS hreat in stage, I resuest you ti listen "Adagio" or " broken vow". Bye✌️
😊❤thankyou
Adagio of lara fabian is just another masterpiece. Try it
You may have missed the most important part of the video. After she finishes the song it continues . It takes her a moment for her to “ come out of the performance” and it is , to me , the most revealing part of the video.
That's it's France and its songs....all emotions
The song sung by Lara Fabian is Je suis malade. It dates back to the 1970s and was written by a man named Serge Lama. The lyrics speak about his relationship with his mother, whom he saw very little. Lara Fabian created an extraordinary version filled with emotion.
You should have picked version with subtitles then you would have needed some tissue with you. What is more striking is when she finished and was still connected to the song, she was like shivering or restless. Masterpiece
