More information on Lara Fabian: Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, .... In my personal opinion, she is even the best. There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register. So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence: • she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer. • she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none • she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens. A quick background on her and her career: She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages. She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory. She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today. She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She now lives in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship She became very famous there and then conquered France in 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music). In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US. This concert is legendary and the song you just reviewed is from this concert. But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan. She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance. She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then. Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), … With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there. Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her. She is Dimash's idol: I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep. He covered many of her songs, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara. Out of my mind I can list: ○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version) ○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know") She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love". And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva). Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida. Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara. Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it. Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration: ○ Floor Jansen (Adagio), ○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime), ○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie), ○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow), ○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace), ○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know), ○ Il Divo (Adagio) ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow) ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Vitas (Adagio) ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio), ○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio) ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ .... NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version. Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature. In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular. On April 23 2023 she had again a wonderful concert in Tbilissi, Georgia Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
“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 compose 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 is 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 this 2003 version is even more dramatic ua-cam.com/video/SyILdRAOS88/v-deo.html
She is the ultimate storyteller and soul-to-soul communicator, an inspiration and reference for so many great artists from Josh Groban to Dimash I will post details on this song (it was recorded in 1999, not 1994), on Lara’s background and a playlist recommendation. Hope to see you react soon back to her, she is a legend in many countries around the world, and considered on the same vocal tier as Whitney, Celine anf Mariah but with even better emotions conveying and songwriting skills.
I'm so glad you react to this song.Lara Fabian is an amazing performer and storyteller. Her voice is so powerful. One of my favorite female artists of all times. I purple you!💜💜💜💜
🇨🇦 Was 1999 in Montreal Quebec ! Wait and watch for comments from Eric Sicard, he will explain everything you need to know about Lara, that song, that concert, and the tracks you need to hear from her ! This woman is probably the best singer in the last 25 years !

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/FR7LfGytwO4/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
The song is an old French standard, from '73. Lara is Belgian born, but she moved to Montreal in the '90. Lara is so talented! Had she broken out in the US, she would have been in the same league as Mariah, Whitney and Celine.
It's not only the voice, she's singing her own emotions into us, into our souls. Direct soul-to-soul communication in all her songs, , we know you feel it. So do we,,,,,,,,,,Top vocaliste in the world, speak fluently 4 languages, major star in Europe, # 1 in Russia and Brazil ... Sony music sign her in 1999 and the Céline Dion group did not like it and that story, i will let others telling it. I grew up in Québec Province, Céline is great, but Lara is the Queen
The song is by Serge Lama, but Lara Fabian make it is own, with such emtions and expressivity ! Unforgettable. You should react to "Tu es mon autre", a duet song with Lara Fabian and Maurane, so beautiful ! Belgium have great singers
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane! The best concert I have ever seen in my entire life. "Adagio" --> ua-cam.com/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/v-deo.html "You're not from here" --> ua-cam.com/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/v-deo.html "Perdere l'Amore" in Italian --> ua-cam.com/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/v-deo.html "Caruso" --> ua-cam.com/video/BP2KnLemT78/v-deo.html "Quédate" in Spanish --> ua-cam.com/video/cX0CPdBV75E/v-deo.html
Ah, why did you stop the video before the end? There is so much to be learned about an artist or a particular performance in the moments after the final note. How do they interact with the audience? How do they transition back to the "real world", how do they begin to set up the next song? All just my opinion, of course, take it or leave it. I think you missed something by cutting that off early. Anyway, thanks for posting the reaction.
Excellent reaction. This was my gateway drug to her. For the first time in my (not short) life I am now a stan of an artist.😂 Master of technique + master of getting at the emotional core of each & every song. Her Adagio (written by her, English) in this same concert might be the next thing you'd like to see.
OK reaction, but you definitely ended the video before catching the last 30 seconds after the song ends. You really need to see how heavily invested she is emotionally in the performance and the story, even after it's over. That's part of her magic; how she connects with these songs.
The BEST live singer ever. She’s a storyteller, forget that her voice is just incredible, it’s effortless but the way she becomes the story is unparalleled.
She would have been a big as Whitney, Mariah or Celine if they didn't f##ked up her record deal coming to the US then. Truly a shame. Her performance ability really has no equal.
Hello, merci pour ta reaction ,je vois aue tu as était toucher par l'émotion dégager par lara . Toute les chansons quelle chante sont pareil ,elle ce met dans une bulle quand elle chante ,elle vie la chanson. Elle est considerer comme l'artiste qui retransmet le miteux l'émotion, ca voix ,son corps ,son visage ,cedt expreeeion ,ca respir1tion exagerer qui donne encore plus d'émotion Sache auelle est l'idole de dimash.
Lara Fabian is Italian by mother side (because of this she speaks perfectly Italian with the power of South Italy): she is a singer-actress for this also ! Don't forget ! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I,m in shock every time I listen to her.
More information on Lara Fabian:
Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, ....
In my personal opinion, she is even the best.
There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register.
So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence:
• she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total
• she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer.
• she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none
• she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens.

“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 compose 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.

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 this 2003 version is even more dramatic
ua-cam.com/video/SyILdRAOS88/v-deo.html
She is the ultimate storyteller and soul-to-soul communicator, an inspiration and reference for so many great artists from Josh Groban to Dimash
I will post details on this song (it was recorded in 1999, not 1994), on Lara’s background and a playlist recommendation.
Hope to see you react soon back to her, she is a legend in many countries around the world, and considered on the same vocal tier as Whitney, Celine anf Mariah but with even better emotions conveying and songwriting skills.
I'm so glad you react to this song.Lara Fabian is an amazing performer and storyteller. Her voice is so powerful. One of my favorite female artists of all times. I purple you!💜💜💜💜

Thank you, great reaction - captivating as you said - mesmerizing - The greatest live performing artist of the last 30 years. The queen, long may she reign.
So happy that you found this song! Lara Fabian is a master of the live vocal performance. This song especially is a heart wrencher about her life.
It isn't about HER life, although she identifies with the emotions. It's about Serge Lama, the author's life.
@@pacscanadadatabaseservices3711 ah maybe that's why i misunderstood. Because I remember she had issues with her mother too

The song is an old French standard, from '73. Lara is Belgian born, but she moved to Montreal in the '90. Lara is so talented! Had she broken out in the US, she would have been in the same league as Mariah, Whitney and Celine.
It's a cover from Serge Lama 1973, was at Montréal-Québec-Canada--1999.
Ahhh Lara, yeah amazing singer that I know since childhood 💜💜💜
Little rectification: this concert was in 2000 and not 1994
And it’s a master-class!!!
Close..December 1999 😉
National pride!
It's not only the voice, she's singing her own emotions into us, into our souls. Direct soul-to-soul communication in all her songs, , we know you feel it. So do we,,,,,,,,,,Top vocaliste in the world, speak fluently 4 languages, major star in Europe, # 1 in Russia and Brazil ... Sony music sign her in 1999 and the Céline Dion group did not like it and that story, i will let others telling it. I grew up in Québec Province, Céline is great, but Lara is the Queen
I love Lara!
Great thanks for Lara. Lovely reaction ❤. My favorive of her is Broken Vow
The song is by Serge Lama, but Lara Fabian make it is own, with such emtions and expressivity ! Unforgettable. You should react to "Tu es mon autre", a duet song with Lara Fabian and Maurane, so beautiful ! Belgium have great singers
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane! The best concert I have ever seen in my entire life.
"Adagio" --> ua-cam.com/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/v-deo.html
"You're not from here" --> ua-cam.com/video/Vv8XFXKXRLI/v-deo.html
"Perdere l'Amore" in Italian --> ua-cam.com/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/v-deo.html
"Caruso" --> ua-cam.com/video/BP2KnLemT78/v-deo.html
"Quédate" in Spanish --> ua-cam.com/video/cX0CPdBV75E/v-deo.html
Now for an equally moving video watch her performance of "Je T'aime live in Paris". Strap in.
Bravo Lara Fabian
You need to see the entire concert. It is called From Lara With Love 2000. Adagio (in English) is stunning!
do yourself a favor ..............................react to more Lara Fabian - she is the Ultimate Artist
You were in a trance. Good honest reaction. Next on the list her original song ADAGIO from the same concert.
Thanks
Ah, why did you stop the video before the end? There is so much to be learned about an artist or a particular performance in the moments after the final note. How do they interact with the audience? How do they transition back to the "real world", how do they begin to set up the next song? All just my opinion, of course, take it or leave it. I think you missed something by cutting that off early. Anyway, thanks for posting the reaction.
Excellent reaction. This was my gateway drug to her. For the first time in my (not short) life I am now a stan of an artist.😂
Master of technique + master of getting at the emotional core of each & every song.
Her Adagio (written by her, English) in this same concert might be the next thing you'd like to see.
Dude, you have to hear Adagio, Broken Vow, You're Not From Here...from the same concert.
You need to run the rest of the video. Trust me. She is the definition of "performance art".
OK reaction, but you definitely ended the video before catching the last 30 seconds after the song ends. You really need to see how heavily invested she is emotionally in the performance and the story, even after it's over. That's part of her magic; how she connects with these songs.
You didn t watch the video til the end, it s important to understand her performance
It's insane how many viewers are so eager to shut it down ..
A versão de Je sui malade do grupo Forestella é espetacular ❤
Ciao, complimenti hai scoperto una delle artiste più complete sulla faccia della terra, con lei ti divertirai sicuramente. Tanti Saluti
Lara Fabian è unica ,fa scuola a tutti ❤
The BEST live singer ever. She’s a storyteller, forget that her voice is just incredible, it’s effortless but the way she becomes the story is unparalleled.
Should have watched all the way till the end
iys not over man,always finish the whole performance and not just the song
Lara gets ahold of you, pulls you in and won´t let go.
Είναι η βασίλισσα μας ❤️❤️♥️💖❤️❤️♥️💖
nice
She would have been a big as Whitney, Mariah or Celine if they didn't f##ked up her record deal coming to the US then. Truly a shame. Her performance ability really has no equal.
C'est ça une vrai chanteuse......
Lara chante accapela sans micro lors du concert " en toute intimité"
This is from 1999
Hello, merci pour ta reaction ,je vois aue tu as était toucher par l'émotion dégager par lara .
Toute les chansons quelle chante sont pareil ,elle ce met dans une bulle quand elle chante ,elle vie la chanson.
Elle est considerer comme l'artiste qui retransmet le miteux l'émotion, ca voix ,son corps ,son visage ,cedt expreeeion ,ca respir1tion exagerer qui donne encore plus d'émotion
Sache auelle est l'idole de dimash.
Lara Fabian is Italian by mother side (because of this she speaks perfectly Italian with the power of South Italy): she is a singer-actress for this also ! Don't forget ! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Do you know Mylene Farmer? She’s amazing! I recommend you "Désenchantée", "Sans contrefaçon", "C'est une belle journée"
Tío, qué falta de respeto tienes al video. Estás más pendiente de los comentarios que del video . Narcisista, un poco de respeto tío.
