For me..Lara Fabian has the most beautiful voice of her generation. She is a masterclass performer..a wonderful caring person..and drop dead beautiful. This video is from her concert "From Lara with love" 1999. Every song from that concert is amazing.Check that out. Great reaction. Thank you for sharing Lara with us.
Yup, really, really good. This is my favorite performance but everything she does is good. The breath control, body and face movements, amazing use of the spaces between words, and sheer vocal perfection is breathtaking. Very few people can sound incredible with total lack of instrumentation as she does in several places. She becomes the song. ❤️💐💐💐❤️She has such a beautiful soul too. One can easily see why certain people did not want her competing for the USA market. She is huge in Europe, Russia and Brazil. 🥰🥰🥰 Hugs from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦
More information on Lara Fabian: Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, .... In my personal opinion, she is even the best. There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register. So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence: • she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer. • she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none • she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens. A quick background on her and her career: She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages. She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory. She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today. She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She now lives in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship She became very famous there and then conquered France in 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music). In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US. This concert is legendary and the song you just reviewed is from this concert. But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan. She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance. She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then. Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), … With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there. Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her. She is Dimash's idol: I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep. He covered many of her songs, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara. Out of my mind I can list: ○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version) ○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know") She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love". And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva). Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida. Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara. Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it. Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration: ○ Floor Jansen (Adagio), ○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime), ○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie), ○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow), ○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace), ○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Gigi de Lana (Broken Vow) ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know), ○ Il Divo (Adagio) ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow) ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Vitas (Adagio), ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio), ○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio) ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ Sevara Nazarkhan (Je t’aime) ○ .... NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version. Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature. In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular. On April 23 2023 she had again a wonderful concert in Tbilissi, Georgia Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.
I just saw a vid of her performing this song two weeks ago in Bucharest, Hungary. She is very nearly as flawless there as she was here, but we are talking 22 years later and heaven knows how many performances of this song. If anything, her life experience has actually added some maturity to the vocals, if that makes any sense whatsoever. It's on UA-cam and I highly recommend it.
This is what Lara is all about. Feelings..emotions...Her voice is the most wonderful on the planet and so is she as a human caring person. If you hade not stopped the video so fast you had seen how much of her self she put in to that performance. Thank you for sharing.
Exelente reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabián, única y sin comparación alguna, Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero! Gracias!
“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 the En Toute Intimité, 2003, Paris Olympia version is even more dramatic ua-cam.com/video/SyILdRAOS88/v-deo.html
👉 Lara Fabian (Pronounced: Lah-rah, Fah-bee-yahn) *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. 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 many of her songs. She also wrote the lyrics to his song 'Your Love' and they shared the stage and performed Ti Amo Cosi (composed by Igor Krutoy) along with Aida Garafulina: Ti Amo Cosi - ua-cam.com/video/XaQFfqC3lnU/v-deo.html Lara is one of the best singers in the world, for me the most soulful singer!

Discovered Lara many, many years ago on TV, performing 'Adagio' at a European music awards show(?). Recorded it and literary wore out the VHS tape rewatching it so many times. That song remains my fave. As a student of French since the 60s, prefer her French songs and how she breathes life into the lyrics, the nuances of that language. She can have a very dramatic and intense style which isn't for everyone. All of her performances are an emotional journey. Mesmerizing.
Very easy to see why Dimash, as a young fellow, fell for her. While she is now in her 50's she is far superior to any popular female singers in the U.S. She has actually revived her career and is touring Europe...headed to France earlier today.
And have you ever seen this other rendition she made in 2003? ua-cam.com/video/SyILdRAOS88/v-deo.html Very different but when it comes to emotion, wow!
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane! "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
Amazing, this song always makes me cry, but your accurate reaction really was heartbraking to me... And your teary eyes didn't make it any better 😢 I hope you'll listen to other songs of Lara: Caruso Llora Tu es mon autre Broken Vows Thank you and grts from Belgium
If the male singer has Dimash, then the female singer has Lara. Both have extraordinary emotions when singing. Next please adagio, at the same concert❤
Should of played it the the end Maria to realize how hard it was for Lara to compose herself after this performance, which is simply remarkable...hope you will watch to the end...this not a performance but more of a completely immersed artist who just left her heart and soul there on the stage....🥰🥰
Why she is so good is that she lives the song each word she feels each word. Like at the end she is that person and she cries and stays in that life has to return at the end of sin. Ut takes her a second to transition.

Thank you for reacting to Lara ❤ One of my absolute favorits from Lara is Lara Fabian - Perdere l'amore (From Lara with love, 2000, 1080p restored quality + subtitles) ua-cam.com/video/mcmhCfH9OfQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Macadamia Remember to activate CC and show the hole video Love Lara ❤ Love from Denmark ❤
Please react to her performance from the song “ JE T’ AIME “ ( Live from Paris ). You will witness a real emotional reaction from the audience to her. They love ❤️ her and they showed it. Thank you for another great reaction. Big hug !
Here is a link to a high quality version that includes a bit of interview before the song and also includes some of the applause afterward. Someone else pointed out that Lara has to take more than a few moments to gather herself after that song. ua-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/v-deo.html
Dimash covered several songs from Lara: Adagio, Mademoiselle Hyde, Love of Tired Swans, Know,… They both covered Love is like a dream and she wrote the lyrics of Your Love for Dimash. Here is Dimash telling Lara he is a fan since he is a child ua-cam.com/users/shortsrG6NjcAVAsM?feature=share
How not to see how much she was able to inspire Dimash, the build-up of her songs is something exceptional. One of the songs that influenced Dimash is PERDERE L'AMORE ua-cam.com/video/wtP7oFpp-6o/v-deo.html and one of the most beautiful VISUAL performances is LOVE BY GRACE www.youtube. com/watch?v=PoOrjC88zK8 Thank you from Montreal.
A universal calibrated volume would be good? It goes up and down UP and down, never a volume that doesn´t need to be adjusted, but does it help? It´s a life mission, volume control.
Je suis malade est une chanson originale interprétée par Serge Lama et non la grosse hasbeen de Lara Fabian oubliée du public français qui ne fait qu'une reprise !
I would like you to react to a song by Diana Navarro " El perdón " She is a very versatile Spanish singer. She sings different musical styles. She has a melismas and a capacity to sing with very long notes. She always transmits with her face and gestures. Best regards
Sadly Dimash didn't not learn the most important thing from Lara, performance with real feelings. Everything I've heard/seen from Dimash is like he is setting up to show off his high vocals. Very amateurish and typical of a singer...not an artist.
![First time reaction: Lara Fabian - Je suis malade! [Subtitles] So much emotion!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/uvS9kZCbqmE/mqdefault.jpg)
The greatest female voice on the planet !

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.

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.

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.
I just saw a vid of her performing this song two weeks ago in Bucharest, Hungary. She is very nearly as flawless there as she was here, but we are talking 22 years later and heaven knows how many performances of this song. If anything, her life experience has actually added some maturity to the vocals, if that makes any sense whatsoever. It's on UA-cam and I highly recommend it.
stunning performance ..... and a very in depth reaction
This is what Lara is all about. Feelings..emotions...Her voice is the most wonderful on the planet and so is she as a human caring person. If you hade not stopped the video so fast you had seen how much of her self she put in to that performance. Thank you for sharing.
Exelente reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabián, única y sin comparación alguna, Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero! Gracias!
Gracias, pura vida!Saludos!
I am happy you now know who Lara is. She’s just one of a kind. Thank you Maria! 🙏👍
The Queen has performed...long live the Queen.
“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 the En Toute Intimité, 2003, Paris Olympia version is even more dramatic

You. also need to react to the song Lara wrote called Broken Vow, from the same concert, it is incredible!
Mindblowing performance ❤🙏
Welcome to the Lara effect. She is the best.
The way she can stay so close to that line between singing and weeping…I’ve never seen anything like it!
Top ,magnifique, merci , en ANGLAIS ADAGIO, EN ITALIEN PERDER L AMORE, BONJOUR DE FRANCE ❤
Gracias ,has hecho un análisis muy sentido ,ella es muy buena ,es increíble , sigue analizando a Lara Fabian disfrutarás seguro
She s thé best
👉 Lara Fabian (Pronounced: Lah-rah, Fah-bee-yahn) *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. 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 many of her songs. She also wrote the lyrics to his song 'Your Love' and they shared the stage and performed Ti Amo Cosi (composed by Igor Krutoy) along with Aida Garafulina: Ti Amo Cosi - ua-cam.com/video/XaQFfqC3lnU/v-deo.html
Lara is one of the best singers in the world, for me the most soulful singer!

Discovered Lara many, many years ago on TV, performing 'Adagio' at a European music awards show(?). Recorded it and literary wore out the VHS tape rewatching it so many times. That song remains my fave. As a student of French since the 60s, prefer her French songs and how she breathes life into the lyrics, the nuances of that language. She can have a very dramatic and intense style which isn't for everyone. All of her performances are an emotional journey. Mesmerizing.
Very easy to see why Dimash, as a young fellow, fell for her.
While she is now in her 50's she is far superior to any popular female singers in the U.S.
She has actually revived her career and is touring Europe...headed to France earlier today.
Also, her rendition of Caruso is breathtaking.
Lara gets ahold of you, pulls you in and won´t let go. SO captivating.
thanks for your reaction
I absolutely love how Lara lives the emotion of the song, thank you for sharing this reaction ❤.
And have you ever seen this other rendition she made in 2003? ua-cam.com/video/SyILdRAOS88/v-deo.html
Very different but when it comes to emotion, wow!
😮😮😮 more Lara❤
I knew you would love this, when I saw the thumb nail I clicked on it right away. Such an amazing singer!
She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane!

Amazing, this song always makes me cry, but your accurate reaction really was heartbraking to me...
And your teary eyes didn't make it any better 😢
I hope you'll listen to other songs of Lara:
Caruso
Llora
Tu es mon autre
Broken Vows
Thank you and grts from Belgium
La meilleure 👍👍🇫🇷🇫🇷
You need to hear Adagio, Broken Vow, You're Not From Here and every song from this concert....
If the male singer has Dimash, then the female singer has Lara. Both have extraordinary emotions when singing. Next please adagio, at the same concert❤
Lara Fabian is the best of the best.
💯🎤
After she sings is definitely worth watching, to say the least.
Namasté
Should of played it the the end Maria to realize how hard it was for Lara to compose herself after this performance, which is simply remarkable...hope you will watch to the end...this not a performance but more of a completely immersed artist who just left her heart and soul there on the stage....🥰🥰
I did. I only edited out the commercial that came after.
This version of the video ends right after the last note, unfortunately.
@@WhyAmIReacting Sorry Maria, did not realize this was the shortened version.
Why she is so good is that she lives the song each word she feels each word. Like at the end she is that person and she cries and stays in that life has to return at the end of sin. Ut takes her a second to transition.

2nd vote for the above Adagio since she wrote it & you've no doubt seen Dimash's cover of it already.
I'm in love with Fabian's patient & nuanced artistry here.
Great reaction. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing more of your Fabian journey.

Love Lara ❤
Love from Denmark ❤
Lara is just one of the best performers in the world
Please react to her performance from the song “ JE T’ AIME “ ( Live from Paris ). You will witness a real emotional reaction from the audience to her. They love ❤️ her and they showed it. Thank you for another great reaction. Big hug !
Here is a link to a high quality version that includes a bit of interview before the song and also includes some of the applause afterward. Someone else pointed out that Lara has to take more than a few moments to gather herself after that song.
ua-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/v-deo.html
A masterclass ❤
After the song she was shaking, she was still in this song.
Dimash covered several songs from Lara: Adagio, Mademoiselle Hyde, Love of Tired Swans, Know,…
They both covered Love is like a dream and she wrote the lyrics of Your Love for Dimash.
Here is Dimash telling Lara he is a fan since he is a child ua-cam.com/users/shortsrG6NjcAVAsM?feature=share
In this case, you don't have to react to this song... I'm hearing the song for the 5th time and I just feel it.
We all are crying, don´t worry 🙂
How not to see how much she was able to inspire Dimash, the build-up of her songs is something exceptional. One of the songs that influenced Dimash is PERDERE L'AMORE ua-cam.com/video/wtP7oFpp-6o/v-deo.html and one of the most beautiful VISUAL performances is LOVE BY GRACE www.youtube. com/watch?v=PoOrjC88zK8 Thank you from Montreal.
Muito bom !!!
A universal calibrated volume would be good? It goes up and down UP and down, never a volume that doesn´t need to be adjusted, but does it help? It´s a life mission, volume control.
Je suis malade est une chanson originale interprétée par Serge Lama et non la grosse hasbeen de Lara Fabian oubliée du public français qui ne fait qu'une reprise !
I would like you to react to a song by Diana Navarro " El perdón " She is a very versatile Spanish singer. She sings different musical styles. She has a melismas and a capacity to sing with very long notes. She always transmits with her face and gestures. Best regards
ua-cam.com/video/zYZWbzEmWY0/v-deo.html "Caruso" by Lara Fabián. Master Piece
🇨🇦 I will say it again, All Canadian female artists are BadAss ! LOL
Don't forget she is Belgian born
Sadly Dimash didn't not learn the most important thing from Lara, performance with real feelings. Everything I've heard/seen from Dimash is like he is setting up to show off his high vocals. Very amateurish and typical of a singer...not an artist.
Je sueeze melleday?
I recommend you to listen to “Je suis Malade” performed by Dalida. ua-cam.com/video/ZVqSqSc9dgQ/v-deo.html
