Finally, as requested by @PBWaWa, @Royal_BLT, @margueritetakis5538, @lusciniamagna7032, @ericsicard910 and @karik7959. Can't really go wrong with Lara - LOVED IT, thank you! ❤
Adagio is an italian word, that means "Slowly". This is also used in music to define the pace of a music (a bit slow, between lento and andante) and also as a name of a piece of a sonata, concerto or symphony that is using that specific pace. The music from this song of Lara Fabian is a pop translation of an italian classic piece called "Albinoni's Adagio". It was written in 1958 by Remo Giazotto who was an admirer of Albinoni, a musician from the 17th/18th century. He claimed it was from him and gave his music this name but there is consensus today that he most probably has composed it himself. The classic music piece is globally famous and there were many different translations into different songs, with different music compositions, mostly operatic, and different lyrics (the band Renaissance, Daniele Licari, Sarah Brightman and Sissel Kyrkjebo for instance). But the most famous version, by far, is Lara’s version: it was translated into a pop song for her, she wrote lyrics in italian then co-wrote the english lyrics for it and is the original performer of these 2 versions. She kept the title Adagio and wrote a story with a double meaning: a woman that is awaiting to find her love / an artist that is awaiting the god of inspiration. This song has become a classic and has been covered by many : Shirley Bassey (!!), Dimash (Lara is his absolute idol and he covered several of her songs), Floor Jansen, Polina Gagarina, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Julie Anne San Jose, Charice Penpengco, Giulia Falcone, Laura Bretan, Il Divo, Rimar, Vitas, Anastasia Luna, Evgenia Fanfara, , … They made great covers but none of these match the amazing storytelling performance of Lara, or her ability to use vocal subtleties to be in sync with the music, exposed in her live from the concert From Lara with Love. ua-cam.com/video/bqoS-KOLV_4/v-deo.html Her italian version is also amazing. A famous italian version: ua-cam.com/video/qf7xcMN-TYI/v-deo.html Or you can check her recent excellent renditions: - in Zagreb, late april 2024 : ua-cam.com/video/06WOD2AxTTM/v-deo.htmlsi=pXrU2vQ1Lrca2PTs - In London, Royal Albert Hall, with Hauser playing cello, on May 9th 2024: ua-cam.com/video/ikWpOJT4y9g/v-deo.htmlsi=WSoA4RXiw-TMmRNv
Thank you as always, Eric, for bringing your cumulative knowledge on Lara and each of her songs! ❤ I know it's been a while since I did a Lara reaction and of course, I have missed seeing your comments. Now, you might notice that I intentionally try not to prepare in advance as I want to see if I understand the piece of music before I find out if my interpretation is remotely correct - if I got it or not. This is precisely where you come in and it is a true pleasure to see my own thoughts from a different perspective i.e. now that I know the actual story. You are an indispensable source of information on everything Lara! Thank you! ❤❤❤ A bit later down the road, as proposed by you and by @raquelra5878, I will be watching both the Italian version and the one from Royal Albert Hall. Oh, and Dimash's Adagio is due to be published this Sunday. 😉
@@AleksReactsThank you so much for acknowledging my suggestion. I’d like to give you another one. I know that “Je t’aime” is on your list, so, when you, hopefully, gets there, consider doing a double reaction, since I’m sure other fans might have suggested the 2001 Paris live performance. Although it is an extraordinary performance, I think it too emotional, not suitable for a proper vocal analysis. So, I suggest you to react first to the “En Toute Intimité version: ua-cam.com/video/RhEV8KA0gxc/v-deo.htmlsi=bVpJHog-bVsDeaB8 followed by the 2001 version. So, you’ll be able to have the best of both worlds. 🙌🏻
I have an odd feeling that I will HAVE to do a double reaction to one of Lara's songs. Of course I have the version from En Toute Intimité acoustic concert already written down (June 1st) as your request. Now we'll combine it with the live performance in Paris. Raquel, you got me with your kind manner and charm - the double reaction to Je t'aime will be my next reaction to Lara! ❤
@@AleksReacts best would be En toute intimité version (subtle and delicate) then Music World Awards 1999 version (intense and passionate) then Paris 2001 😀
@@AleksReacts You’ve just made me so happy! You have no idea! And you’ll see what I’m talking about then. So, without giving you any spoilers, buckle up! It will pay off, I promise you!
Your smile as soon as Lara opened her mouth was priceless and said it all! 😍 The “Fabian Effect” is simply unavoidable! Such a great reaction to a precious performance. 🙌🏻
Thank you so much! ❤ Reacting to Lara is a joy in itself. I couldn't hide my reaction if I wanted to, and I wouldn't want to. She is just stunning! Thank you again and I'm sure you already noticed, Eric joined you in suggesting the version with Hauser. I'll give it some time, but it will come. 😉
@@AleksReacts If possible play this one from 2007, in Firenze, Italia, its outdoor middle of the old city, ua-cam.com/video/2tIkjd_Zjxo/v-deo.htmlsi=5giQ8YFmpkz6WvY5
Ciao, bella reazione a questa fenomenale canzone dal testo ambiguo che può confondere l'ascoltatore, preferisco la versione italiana da cui è nata la canzone scritta da LARA e il testo è molto poetico e meno ambiguo.....però sono i miei gusti...... e anche la versione inglese è strepitosa. Ciao tanti saluti.
Grazie mille!!! Well, as Eric pointed out, I should and will listen to the Italian version as well. Not immediately, but after some time passes. I was in two minds even for this reaction, but the number of requests for specifically the version from "From Lara with Love" concert prevailed. On an unrelated note, I haven't travelled much, but I have been to Rome, Italy. My impressions could not have been better! I hope I will get to see more of Italy in my lifetime. ❤
dear Aleks, thank you for you reaction to Adagio. In the Italian version it is more clear that she is looking for a muze, inspiration. But I love you can hear in it what you want. I love how your face is showing al the emotions Lara is putting in to you. She is one of my idols. With an angel voice, but also she is a real person, with lots of humor and compassion. Thanks for letting her shine. In the world today, we need people like Lara, and like you, with you honest reactions/ Letting people see how this song and many other songs affect you is a moment where you show your feeling for the art, and it shows you in a vulnerable moment. So thank you for sharing that with us.
Dear Gerda, seems like we need people like you as well - sweet, kind and compassionate. Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment and for sharing the appreciation of Lara with me. ❤
Thank you so much! I keep thinking my face isn't smiling nearly enough as my mind/heart is when I listen to her. You've just made me feel better about that. 😁

Hi Aleks I love your reactions to Lara ❤ and I think it is remarkable that you often reply to our comments ❤LOVE IT ❤ looking forward to more Lara from you ❤I will be there ❤ Love Lara ❤ Love from Denmark ❤
Kærlighed til Danmark! ❤ Thank you so much for being here with me! ❤ There will be more from Lara, I do not intend to stop anytime soon... I'm trying to reply to all comments while it's still not too overwhelming. I expect at some point it will become impossible, but I'll do my best to keep up.
I loved the woman in her 30 year with her intensity and her vocal performances. I loved the 40 year old with her willingness to discover many different musical styles, always with a fabulous voice. And I love the woman in her 50s who has managed to preserve her voice through hard work, adapting to the evolution of her voice while retaining that little bit of enthusiasm and complicity that makes us melt. I will love you forever and ever Even if you start rap
Dear Aleks, thank you so so much ♥ This rendition of Adagio was my first experience with Lara and there was something in her voice, in her performance, something unspoken. Now when I listen to her songs I feel everything ♥
This is the 5th song I've listened to by Lara. My first was Je suis malade and she had me right then and there. ❤ Now, all I do is listen to more and more, each song as beautiful and emotional as that first one. Still, I think in my heart Je suis malade will be the one that made me fall in love with Lara. ❤
@@AleksReacts Just like you, Je Suis Malade did the job.♥ I listened to the song a few minutes after Adagio, and without subtitles. I don't understand french, but I was crying my eyes out. I just couldn't stop crying and I didn't know why. That was the moment, yes ♥
@@AleksReacts Yes I know exactly what you mean. I will never forget that moment. The ultimate perfomance ♥ The best thing is, when you think you've seen it all, you really haven't seen it all. First of all Lara is the songwriter. She always puts her heart and her soul into her lyrics, her songs and performances - and into everything she does. Flashbacks of her amazing performances and emotional moments keeps popping up in my mind so many times every single day. Lara is the story about ultimate singing skills, interpretation of songs and performances, yes. Of Course I think she’s the very best, yes, but Lara is also the story about love and dedication to music itself, love towards life and towards people - and nothing beats that, I think. ♥ Thank you once again ♥
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabián,única y sin comparación alguna! Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e interprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe! Gracias!
Thank you! I currently have 107 requests for Lara's performances. You already know her older stuff, I've never heard it and what I have heard I'm really enjoying. At some point, sooner or later, I'll get to the newer performances as well.
I have watched countless reactions to Adagio, and you are the 1st one to pick up on what the song is saying about musical inspiration. I think this song is such a showcase of her brilliance as a songwriter and composer. If you go back to your reaction for Broken Vow she talks about how she can't explain how a song is written, that it's something that goes through you. The cleverness of her lyrics here is that on the surface it sounds like a love song to a person, and the masses can enjoy and relate to it that way. But if you know just how much being a songwriter means to her (she calls herself "a songwriter with a voice") then you hear a whole different depth to it. It's a love song to the god of inspiration, as Adagio, begging "him" to never abandon her. It speaks to the ethereal nature of inspiration and how she'll always be waiting at "the piano that plays", because the desire to compose is always alive under her skin. It's just extraordinary writing on every level and does such justice to the original piece. This is why no cover can compare, imo. It's so deeply personal to her, like it came out of her very DNA, who else could truly replicate that? Lovely reaction!
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed comment! When I'm not clear on the meaning or there might be multiple interpretations, the discussion around can often be eye-opening or at worst, offer different perspectives. I enjoy a well thought out perspective as much as listening to the song for the first time. I do remember the beginning of Broken Vow and her words on the creation of a song. Adagio being the god of inspiration is actually a great take on the lyrics, one I did not pick up on, but it makes so much sense. The piano that plays is what tipped me off on this potentially being about music, rather than a man. I understand from other comments that the Italian version is clearer on the meaning, but even this one does touch on music, inspiration, a more ethereal love than a simple love for a man... A cover can be beautiful, but in most cases it does fail, especially if the song is deeply personal. This is true both of Adagio and of Broken Vow. On the other hand Lara's cover of Je suis malade is to me better than the original.
Thank you for watching this masterclass from Lara. I believe she imagines her muse as a man and implores the inspiration not to leave. Phil in Scotland
Hello, merci de réagir encore à lara,. Tu ne sera jamais déçu par lara que tu écoute des chansons d'avant 2000 ou des chansons de 2024,car oui lara chante toujours et fais même en ce moment une tournée de concerts. Elle a même sorti en nouveau single, il y a environ 3mois. D'ailleurs ça derniere chanson s'intitule ma peine. Continue avec ce magnifique concert lara from love. You're not from here en anglais, quedate en espagnol. Sache que lara parle couramment 5 langues ,français, anglais, italien, espagnol et russe. Chante dans 12langues différente, français, anglais, italien, espagnol, portugais, allemand, russe, adzerbagian, grec, turc, hébreu et latin. Mes ce qui et exceptionnel avec lara fabian c'est l'émotion qu'elle met à chaque fois dans la chanson ,que ça sois il a presque 30ans ou maintenant et ça n'a pas changé.
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire! ❤ Je vais continuer mes réactions envers Lara. Elle ne manque jamais de m'entraîner dans la chanson et de me faire ressentir les émotions. Both of your suggestions have been added to the list, but the next one planned will be a double reaction to Je t'aime from En Toute Intimité acoustic concert and from her live performance in Paris. Certainly much more to come.
I hope so, we'll soon see. I hope I don't botch it, I've never done a double reaction and I'm new to all this as it is. It's only been two months now. 😊
This must be one of the best concerts ever . Laras singingskills is masterclass and beyond. Her voice is like coming home to a place you want to be forever. On top of that I cant take my eyes from her. Thank you for this great reaction. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤
Thank you so much! I remember you from a previous comment. A Finn in Sweden rings a bell.❤ I couldn't agree more, this concert keeps getting recommended and I have enjoyed each of her performances so much that I hesitate to listen songs from any other concert. I will, though, but reluctantly at first.
🇨🇦 Comments by Eric Sicard will give you everything you would need to know about Lara, her music, her history, and her performances ! Paying close attention to her singing, you will begin to see that Lara sings each syllable or each word, and every word in every lyric, clearly and completely to the end, no matter what song she is singing, or in which language she sings it in ! I recommend continuing with one of the following ! "Quedate" in Spanish, "Requiem pour un fou" a duet with Johnny Hallyday or "I am A-WA" to observe her approach to recordings ! 🇨🇦
Oh, believe me I know. I remember you well, too. Eric is kind enough to share his knowledge with all of us. However, it would not be a real reaction if I knew everything in advance. So I read Eric's posts AFTER I do the reaction - as a test of what I heard and what was intended. 😊 Btw, i checked and all three of your requests are already noted on June 8th with your handle. I will get to all of them, patience, my friend. ❤
Excellent analysis. I understand that there are no words to define such an immense voice, both technically and emotionally. I've been listening to this interpretation of Lara based on maestro Albioni for a long time...and it never ceases to impress me. By the way, I don't know if you have already reacted to Dimash's version... It's spectacular! Dimash talks about Lara Fabian as one of his references and admired singers. They also got together to sing and her smile says it all. Lara Fabian wrote lyrics for Dimash; being mutual admiration. Thanks for your reaction.
Thank you so much for your comment! I think you'll like my reply as well, as the reaction Dimash's version is coming up a bit later today. 😉 Obviously, I like them both.
You don't even have to say anything. I could watch that whole thing just reading the reactions in your facial expressions. Lara does that us! ❤ Maybe "Broken Vow" next? Another song she wrote straight from the heart.
Thank you! ❤ I'm glad my face reflects what I feel, otherwise this would be hard to do. 😉 Oh, but you can find Broken Vow already on my channel. There's even a playlist with Lara's songs I've reacted to so far. You'll find more than a couple there.
Excellent reaction to the iconic Lara giving an incredibly emotional performance. Another fantastic singer from the UK is 20 year old Lucy Thomas. She's just released on utube a brand new video performance of the classic song "Unchained Melody." Many reactors seem to think she is one of the best singers in the world. I'd be very interested in your opinion.
Thank you so much! Always a joy to listen to Lara and my playlist is expanding with every song.❤ Since I do love the original Unchained Melody, we shall soon find out. Thank you for introducing someone new to me.
Olá ao Brasil! Thank you for watching. 😊 No, I'm not Brazilian. I am Serbian, so my mother tongue is from the Slavic language family instead of the Romance one. I wonder why my accent sounds Brazilian...
I just went to look her up and see a picture. It might be that her style and mine are both natural and simple, sort of remind of more than look alike maybe. Based on pictures alone, I think we might have gotten along well - she's very pleasant looking and you mention that they were extremely close, which judging by how lovely Lara is must mean that she was a great mom. ❤
We're pretty close in age, only I got a few more than you.😉 I never heard it, so even though it's not a request, I added it - just so that I do hear it myself, even if it never becomes a reaction video... If you say it's a good song, I trust you. Meaning I need to check it out. Ευχαριστώ! ❤
@@AleksReacts Sure it is a winning Eurovision song back then when that actually meant something so it is a great one. It is quite famous too i am surprised that you say that you do not know it. I am sure that you would like it either you make a reaction out of it or not.
I think I started watching Eurovision sometime towards the end of the 80's and then quite a few skipped years in the 90's, then picked up again in 2000's. Very messy on that really. The ones I do know "before my time" are of course Abba's Waterloo and Johnny Logan's Hold me now, but that's not due to Eurovision, just those songs becoming popular worldwide after Eurovision. To be honest, I don't know even most of my own country's entries... I mean, I know some, but many were not that good to begin with and some we should be ashamed of, like e.g. Riva's Rock me baby, which I believe won or Baby Doll's Brazil (she's a great singer btw with the worst choice of songs, but her jazz performances are WOW). 😂
The earliest date I found was 1685? Lara wrote the Lyric’s to Adajio & originally said, no that I will not do it, but they persisted & this is the product. Lara felt unworthy to touch the historical Italian Classic Instrumental. She wrote Italian Lyric’s at the same time. 🩷
I haven't gone that far. It was enough for me to know that Albinoni lived in the 17th & 18th century, provided the original theme was his in the first place i.e that Remo Giazotto did not compose it himself, which would then make it a 20th century piece. Either way, what Lara introduced to it made it just perfect.
@@AleksReactsit is now acknowledged by all music experts that Remo Giazzotto entirely composed it. He was a fan of Albinoni who was in the shadows and clained he composed it based on fragments of Albinoni’s music sheets he has found but failed to expose these and now, following many research, everybody has concluded Remo Giazzotto is the sole composer and the music is from the 50s.
Dear Eric, I did read your first comment, I just don't want to "claim it as my own knowledge", so I left a smidgeon of possibility there. Also, let's be honest - when you state a fact related to Lara, it carries more weight.
Her Italian lyrics leave more ambiguity so that the song can be both a search for the man of her dreams and a kind of writers block. The English lyrics are more relating to the man.
I understood from other comments that the Italian version allows more clarity. I will react to the Italian version one day as well. I wonder what the differences are.
I know, I also know that it's hard to follow all the talking, so you might have missed the part in the intro where that's clarified. No worries, though. 😉
as you know, "Adagio", in musical terms, means "slowly" (slower tempo)....Lara tells us that even in matters of the heart, one must go "slowly"........thanks to the comments of @ericsicard910
Hmmm, I did not see it as you described it i.e. "Lara tells us that even in matters of the heart, one must go "slowly"", but I do think this one is rather open to interpretation and it's always interesting to hear another perspective. Thank you!
@@AleksReacts That is exactly why performances of this quality are so endearing....the composer and vocalist allow the audience to develop personal interpretations & reactions....Thanks ! ........
It was written first in Italian where Adanjo means Stupid and then was an English-American conversion of the title Adanjo to Adagio and of course had changed the lyrics.Anyway her vocals are great in both versions.
I'm sorry, but as far as I know adanjo doesn't mean anything in Italian, while adagio is an actual Italian word often used in music, along with many other musical terms that come from the Italian language. Where did you get the information that it was ever called Adanjo or that it means stupid in Italian?
I really dont remember who said it,but she said that the italian version (and the american) had the term adanjo,not adagio,which means stupid.Lara says to someone who hurt her,that he is stupid.Maybe i write it wrong or is slang language.If you listen the italian version you'll hear saying Adanjo,not adagio that usually means slow music rythm.
@@AleksReactsThe lyrics repeatedly emphasize that the person she longs for has not yet arrived, but that she has faith that he must exist. I think this situation is very similar to Snow White in the animation Snow White singing by the well that one day my prince will come.
Thank you so much for clarifying it for me! Now it is making far more sense. Sorry for totally missing the point in your first comment. Yes, in that sense it is reminiscent of Snow White's song.
Lara HERSELF wrote the lyrics on this old classic music composition in English and in Italian . I prefer the Italian version. Italian is a more colored language . Lara speaks fluent French, English, Italian and Spanish . That is way Lara writes often the lyrics in 2 or 3 different languages on the same composition ..She also sings and records those songs in all the different languages she wrote .
The fabulous concert "Pure" in1997 set the stage for what was to come from this young woman. In 2000 she is still wowing listeners with her performance in the "From Lara with Love" concert. As much well deserved praise as 2000 receives, the concerts she does both in Moscow (2010) and Sochi, Russia (2016) are similar gems where every song is a masterpiece. The Moscow concert in my opinion shows a more mature Lara, and now with the added years she has additional poise and confidence (if that's even possible 😄). Sochi shows the continued evolution of Lara and with the growing influence Igor Krutoy in her music, her talent seems even stronger. In these concerts her singing just seems so effortless and her presence so elegant! Her chemistry on stage with Igor is magical and you can easily see the appreciation they have for each others talent. Between concerts, TV specials and the many interviews, one starts to appreciate the humble nature that she has and in my opinion, one of the reasons for her success is that she never takes herself too serious and doesn't try to hide her emotions. As alway thank you for your video, your reaction to her music is wonderful!
I don’t like these concerts in Moscow, probably because most of them are not sung live. It is common to use playback at TV concerts there. I would suggest the Mademoiselle Zhivago mini movie but not the concert. In addition, she was vocally not in top form in these years, especially when you compare it to the concert she has given in the last few weeks, her voice is now better than ever.
Thank you so much! ❤ I do not see how a reaction to her music could not be wonderful though. She makes one feel everything she's feeling while she's singing. Reactions to Mademoiselle Hyde with Igor Krutoy have been requested and although I can't satisfy all wishes at once, I will get to that one as well, for a glimpse of their collaboration.
@danielakeller7532 I now looked up the Mademoiselle Zhivago album and it seems quite a few songs from this album have been suggested. It would be too much to react to the whole mini movie, but I will go song by song in time. Perhaps I'm a bit too attached to the "From Lara with Love" concert as that is what I first heard from her, and I loved every single performance I listened to. Now, I need some time for all that to sink in, so I can absorb more and more...
@@AleksReacts Great but you know, the mini movie has nothing to do with the concert, it's the same songs but Lara can be seen here as an actress ua-cam.com/video/Y7k_XGs_Ybg/v-deo.htmlsi=8ilOYoo6k095c6F3
Hmmm, who'd watch me for an hour... 😂 I think I'll watch this on my own, once I complete the reactions. Can't do it sooner, or my reactions will then be fake.
Magnifique lara...plz react " guess I love you ...stage " regard 9..traviata " en toute intimitè stage in paris... and stage in russian..llora and the she sing in russian thx
Grazie mille, Fabrizio! Potresti darmi i link per Un Regard 9, Traviata (si spera un'aria, non l'intera opera) e la canzone in russo che vorresti che vedessi? Sentiti libero di scrivere in italiano - Google Translate mi aiuterà a capirlo. 😉🥰 Thank you so much, Fabrizio! Could you please give me the links for Un Regard 9, Traviata (hopefully one aria, not the whole opera) and the song in Russian you'd like to me to see?

This is the first anything I've seen of Lara that is not singing. I want her for my friend! She is a five year old grown woman that just doesn't care - LOVE HER!
Finally, as requested by @PBWaWa, @Royal_BLT, @margueritetakis5538, @lusciniamagna7032, @ericsicard910 and @karik7959. Can't really go wrong with Lara - LOVED IT, thank you! ❤
Thank you for your reaction!
Yes, Thank You !
Lara Fabian is exceptional her vibration her voice wraps ones very heart and soul. She is her own “genre” a one of a kind Artist✨☮️
Oh, I agree by now, after 15+ reactions. ❤❤❤
This whole concert is a textbook masterclass on How to Perform Perfectly. She is a true miracle.
I simply have to agree, from what I've seen so far.
Adagio is an italian word, that means "Slowly".
This is also used in music to define the pace of a music (a bit slow, between lento and andante) and also as a name of a piece of a sonata, concerto or symphony that is using that specific pace.
The music from this song of Lara Fabian is a pop translation of an italian classic piece called "Albinoni's Adagio". It was written in 1958 by Remo Giazotto who was an admirer of Albinoni, a musician from the 17th/18th century. He claimed it was from him and gave his music this name but there is consensus today that he most probably has composed it himself.
The classic music piece is globally famous and there were many different translations into different songs, with different music compositions, mostly operatic, and different lyrics (the band Renaissance, Daniele Licari, Sarah Brightman and Sissel Kyrkjebo for instance).
But the most famous version, by far, is Lara’s version:
it was translated into a pop song for her, she wrote lyrics in italian then co-wrote the english lyrics for it and is the original performer of these 2 versions.
She kept the title Adagio and wrote a story with a double meaning: a woman that is awaiting to find her love / an artist that is awaiting the god of inspiration.
This song has become a classic and has been covered by many : Shirley Bassey (!!), Dimash (Lara is his absolute idol and he covered several of her songs), Floor Jansen, Polina Gagarina, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Julie Anne San Jose, Charice Penpengco, Giulia Falcone, Laura Bretan, Il Divo, Rimar, Vitas, Anastasia Luna, Evgenia Fanfara, , …
They made great covers but none of these match the amazing storytelling performance of Lara, or her ability to use vocal subtleties to be in sync with the music, exposed in her live from the concert From Lara with Love.

Thank you as always, Eric, for bringing your cumulative knowledge on Lara and each of her songs! ❤
I know it's been a while since I did a Lara reaction and of course, I have missed seeing your comments. Now, you might notice that I intentionally try not to prepare in advance as I want to see if I understand the piece of music before I find out if my interpretation is remotely correct - if I got it or not.
This is precisely where you come in and it is a true pleasure to see my own thoughts from a different perspective i.e. now that I know the actual story. You are an indispensable source of information on everything Lara! Thank you! ❤❤❤
A bit later down the road, as proposed by you and by @raquelra5878, I will be watching both the Italian version and the one from Royal Albert Hall.
Oh, and Dimash's Adagio is due to be published this Sunday. 😉
@@AleksReactsThank you so much for acknowledging my suggestion. I’d like to give you another one. I know that “Je t’aime” is on your list, so, when you, hopefully, gets there, consider doing a double reaction, since I’m sure other fans might have suggested the 2001 Paris live performance. Although it is an extraordinary performance, I think it too emotional, not suitable for a proper vocal analysis. So, I suggest you to react first to the “En Toute Intimité version:
ua-cam.com/video/RhEV8KA0gxc/v-deo.htmlsi=bVpJHog-bVsDeaB8
followed by the 2001 version. So, you’ll be able to have the best of both worlds. 🙌🏻
I have an odd feeling that I will HAVE to do a double reaction to one of Lara's songs. Of course I have the version from En Toute Intimité acoustic concert already written down (June 1st) as your request. Now we'll combine it with the live performance in Paris.
Raquel, you got me with your kind manner and charm - the double reaction to Je t'aime will be my next reaction to Lara! ❤
@@AleksReacts best would be En toute intimité version (subtle and delicate) then Music World Awards 1999 version (intense and passionate) then Paris 2001 😀
@@AleksReacts You’ve just made me so happy! You have no idea! And you’ll see what I’m talking about then. So, without giving you any spoilers, buckle up! It will pay off, I promise you!
Your smile as soon as Lara opened her mouth was priceless and said it all! 😍 The “Fabian Effect” is simply unavoidable! Such a great reaction to a precious performance. 🙌🏻
Thank you so much! ❤ Reacting to Lara is a joy in itself. I couldn't hide my reaction if I wanted to, and I wouldn't want to. She is just stunning!
Thank you again and I'm sure you already noticed, Eric joined you in suggesting the version with Hauser. I'll give it some time, but it will come. 😉
@@AleksReacts I love your smile in those reactions, it sais a lot :)
Thank you, I love smiling, especially when there's really something to smile about. Lara gives us a lot of reasons to smile. 😊
i have never heard any other voice that is as captivating as hers... her lower notes make me almost melt.
Not in the same way, no. There's something in her voice or her technique that hits an integral string you don't know you have until you hear it.
Yes, those low notes are magic!
Loved watching you see this for the first time. I’ve always thought this performance is as close to perfect as it gets.
Thank you so much! ❤ I'm starting to believe that she cannot "put a single breath wrong". Just stunning...
She first wrote this song in Italian and co-wrote it after in english, her italian version is out of this world, for me....
Hmmm, you're not the only one who said that. The Italian version will happen too, after a bit of a break. Thank you!
@@AleksReacts If possible play this one from 2007, in Firenze, Italia, its outdoor middle of the old city, ua-cam.com/video/2tIkjd_Zjxo/v-deo.htmlsi=5giQ8YFmpkz6WvY5
Time to write up your request! 😊 I know you've watched more than one reaction, but this seems to be your first request. It will be honored.
Ciao, bella reazione a questa fenomenale canzone dal testo ambiguo che può confondere l'ascoltatore, preferisco la versione italiana da cui è nata la canzone scritta da LARA e il testo è molto poetico e meno ambiguo.....però sono i miei gusti...... e anche la versione inglese è strepitosa. Ciao tanti saluti.
Grazie mille!!!
Well, as Eric pointed out, I should and will listen to the Italian version as well. Not immediately, but after some time passes. I was in two minds even for this reaction, but the number of requests for specifically the version from "From Lara with Love" concert prevailed.
On an unrelated note, I haven't travelled much, but I have been to Rome, Italy. My impressions could not have been better! I hope I will get to see more of Italy in my lifetime. ❤
dear Aleks, thank you for you reaction to Adagio. In the Italian version it is more clear that she is looking for a muze, inspiration. But I love you can hear in it what you want.
I love how your face is showing al the emotions Lara is putting in to you. She is one of my idols. With an angel voice, but also she is a real person, with lots of humor and compassion.
Thanks for letting her shine.
In the world today, we need people like Lara, and like you, with you honest reactions/
Letting people see how this song and many other songs affect you is a moment where you show your feeling for the art, and it shows you in a vulnerable moment. So thank you for sharing that with us.
Dear Gerda, seems like we need people like you as well - sweet, kind and compassionate. Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment and for sharing the appreciation of Lara with me. ❤
Thank you thank you. More Lara please. I love this woman !
Thank you, as well! More to come for sure!
I love your reactions and when it’s to the mighty Lara Fabian it’s definitely a winner.
Thankyou ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Yes, "mighty" is a great way to describe her. She simply cannot but impress. ❤❤❤
Great reaction. You are almost as expressive as Lara, always smiling.
Thank you so much! I keep thinking my face isn't smiling nearly enough as my mind/heart is when I listen to her. You've just made me feel better about that. 😁
“Perfect as always.” You're right about Lara's performance, but we can extend that to a great reaction, can't we? ❤
We could say the same for your comment, could we not? Thank you so much, Alex ! ❤

Hi Aleks
I love your reactions to Lara ❤
and I think it is remarkable that you often reply to our comments ❤LOVE IT ❤
looking forward to more Lara from you ❤I will be there ❤
Love Lara ❤
Love from Denmark ❤
Kærlighed til Danmark! ❤
Thank you so much for being here with me! ❤
There will be more from Lara, I do not intend to stop anytime soon...
I'm trying to reply to all comments while it's still not too overwhelming. I expect at some point it will become impossible, but I'll do my best to keep up.
I loved the woman in her 30 year with her intensity and her vocal performances.
I loved the 40 year old with her willingness to discover many different musical styles, always with a fabulous voice.
And I love the woman in her 50s who has managed to preserve her voice through hard work, adapting to the evolution of her voice while retaining that little bit of enthusiasm and complicity that makes us melt.
I will love you forever and ever
Even if you start rap
I know this comment, and I am glad to see it again. Glad we both enjoy Lara's music. 🙂
Dear Aleks, thank you so so much ♥ This rendition of Adagio was my first experience with Lara and there was something in her voice, in her performance, something unspoken. Now when I listen to her songs I feel everything ♥
This is the 5th song I've listened to by Lara. My first was Je suis malade and she had me right then and there. ❤ Now, all I do is listen to more and more, each song as beautiful and emotional as that first one. Still, I think in my heart Je suis malade will be the one that made me fall in love with Lara. ❤
@@AleksReacts Just like you, Je Suis Malade did the job.♥ I listened to the song a few minutes after Adagio, and without subtitles. I don't understand french, but I was crying my eyes out. I just couldn't stop crying and I didn't know why. That was the moment, yes ♥
You know exactly what I mean then... What she did with that song was divine. ❤
@@AleksReacts Yes I know exactly what you mean. I will never forget that moment. The ultimate perfomance ♥
The best thing is, when you think you've seen it all, you really haven't seen it all.
First of all Lara is the songwriter. She always puts her heart and her soul into her lyrics, her songs and performances - and into everything she does.
Flashbacks of her amazing performances and emotional moments keeps popping up in my mind so many times every single day.
Lara is the story about ultimate singing skills, interpretation of songs and performances, yes. Of Course I think she’s the very best, yes, but Lara is also the story about love and dedication to music itself, love towards life and towards people - and nothing beats that, I think. ♥
Thank you once again ♥
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabián,única y sin comparación alguna! Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e interprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe! Gracias!
Gracias Costa Rica! Thank you for watching another one of my reactions. ❤
Amazing reaction again! Could you please react to anything from either Lara's 2022 or 2024 tour to see how awesome she still is?
Thank you! I currently have 107 requests for Lara's performances. You already know her older stuff, I've never heard it and what I have heard I'm really enjoying. At some point, sooner or later, I'll get to the newer performances as well.
I have watched countless reactions to Adagio, and you are the 1st one to pick up on what the song is saying about musical inspiration. I think this song is such a showcase of her brilliance as a songwriter and composer. If you go back to your reaction for Broken Vow she talks about how she can't explain how a song is written, that it's something that goes through you. The cleverness of her lyrics here is that on the surface it sounds like a love song to a person, and the masses can enjoy and relate to it that way. But if you know just how much being a songwriter means to her (she calls herself "a songwriter with a voice") then you hear a whole different depth to it. It's a love song to the god of inspiration, as Adagio, begging "him" to never abandon her. It speaks to the ethereal nature of inspiration and how she'll always be waiting at "the piano that plays", because the desire to compose is always alive under her skin. It's just extraordinary writing on every level and does such justice to the original piece. This is why no cover can compare, imo. It's so deeply personal to her, like it came out of her very DNA, who else could truly replicate that?
Lovely reaction!
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed comment! When I'm not clear on the meaning or there might be multiple interpretations, the discussion around can often be eye-opening or at worst, offer different perspectives. I enjoy a well thought out perspective as much as listening to the song for the first time.
I do remember the beginning of Broken Vow and her words on the creation of a song. Adagio being the god of inspiration is actually a great take on the lyrics, one I did not pick up on, but it makes so much sense. The piano that plays is what tipped me off on this potentially being about music, rather than a man. I understand from other comments that the Italian version is clearer on the meaning, but even this one does touch on music, inspiration, a more ethereal love than a simple love for a man...
A cover can be beautiful, but in most cases it does fail, especially if the song is deeply personal. This is true both of Adagio and of Broken Vow. On the other hand Lara's cover of Je suis malade is to me better than the original.
@@AleksReacts I agree with everything you said here😄. Thank you for another great reaction.
Thank you Daniela! ❤
Thank you for watching this masterclass from Lara.
I believe she imagines her muse as a man and implores the inspiration not to leave.
Phil in Scotland
Wow, a second Scotsman! Welcome, welcome. 😊 Thank you so much for your comment. Yes, that is one way to interpret it and a quite likely one, too.
Hello, merci de réagir encore à lara,.
Tu ne sera jamais déçu par lara que tu écoute des chansons d'avant 2000 ou des chansons de 2024,car oui lara chante toujours et fais même en ce moment une tournée de concerts.
Elle a même sorti en nouveau single, il y a environ 3mois.
D'ailleurs ça derniere chanson s'intitule ma peine.
Continue avec ce magnifique concert lara from love.
You're not from here en anglais, quedate en espagnol.
Sache que lara parle couramment 5 langues ,français, anglais, italien, espagnol et russe.
Chante dans 12langues différente, français, anglais, italien, espagnol, portugais, allemand, russe, adzerbagian, grec, turc, hébreu et latin.
Mes ce qui et exceptionnel avec lara fabian c'est l'émotion qu'elle met à chaque fois dans la chanson ,que ça sois il a presque 30ans ou maintenant et ça n'a pas changé.
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire! ❤ Je vais continuer mes réactions envers Lara. Elle ne manque jamais de m'entraîner dans la chanson et de me faire ressentir les émotions.
Both of your suggestions have been added to the list, but the next one planned will be a double reaction to Je t'aime from En Toute Intimité acoustic concert and from her live performance in Paris. Certainly much more to come.
@@AleksReacts Oh that will be great😊
I hope so, we'll soon see. I hope I don't botch it, I've never done a double reaction and I'm new to all this as it is. It's only been two months now. 😊
What a talent! She's really something else!
I do love reacting to her! Her heart and soul are always a part of her music.
wonderful and thoughtful reaction - again ❤
Not sure why, but you remind me of Isabella Rossellini. Just a friendly compliment :)
Thank you so much! That is a wonderful compliment - I find her adorable. ❤
@@AleksReacts compliments are free to give, but can hold great value, especially when true ❤
That's a lovely way to put it and also a lovely outlook to have. This might be a wrong guess of gender, but I hope not. Words of a true gentleman! ❤
@@AleksReacts I'm indeed a man. Guilty 😉
This concert is phenomenal, and Lara is the best female singer!! Also Broken Vow, which she wrote!
She's definitely one of the best out there!
Que bonita reacción y excelente análisis, ciertamente todas esas palabras le amoldan perfectamente a Lara, es maravillosa.
¡Muchas gracias! ❤
This must be one of the best concerts ever . Laras singingskills is masterclass and beyond. Her voice is like coming home to a place you want to be forever. On top of that I cant take my eyes from her. Thank you for this great reaction. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤
Thank you so much! I remember you from a previous comment. A Finn in Sweden rings a bell.❤ I couldn't agree more, this concert keeps getting recommended and I have enjoyed each of her performances so much that I hesitate to listen songs from any other concert. I will, though, but reluctantly at first.
❤❤❤love her from curacao and holland🇨🇼🇳🇱🇨🇼🇳🇱
Hugs to Curaçao and The Netherlands. ❤
Belleza pura! Muchas Gracias por tu análisis 🇪🇸🎻
She wrote the lyrics amd translated it into Italian. Adagio means slowly !
🇨🇦 Comments by Eric Sicard will give you everything you would need to know about Lara, her music, her history, and her performances !
Paying close attention to her singing, you will begin to see that Lara sings each syllable or each word, and every word in every lyric, clearly and completely to the end, no matter what song she is singing, or in which language she sings it in !
I recommend continuing with one of the following !
"Quedate" in Spanish, "Requiem pour un fou" a duet with Johnny Hallyday or "I am A-WA" to observe her approach to recordings ! 🇨🇦
Oh, believe me I know. I remember you well, too.
Eric is kind enough to share his knowledge with all of us. However, it would not be a real reaction if I knew everything in advance. So I read Eric's posts AFTER I do the reaction - as a test of what I heard and what was intended. 😊
Btw, i checked and all three of your requests are already noted on June 8th with your handle. I will get to all of them, patience, my friend. ❤
Excellent analysis.
I understand that there are no words to define such an immense voice, both technically and emotionally.
I've been listening to this interpretation of Lara based on maestro Albioni for a long time...and it never ceases to impress me.
By the way, I don't know if you have already reacted to Dimash's version... It's spectacular!
Dimash talks about Lara Fabian as one of his references and admired singers. They also got together to sing and her smile says it all.
Lara Fabian wrote lyrics for Dimash; being mutual admiration.
Thanks for your reaction.
Thank you so much for your comment! I think you'll like my reply as well, as the reaction Dimash's version is coming up a bit later today. 😉 Obviously, I like them both.
@@AleksReacts 👍👏❤
You don't even have to say anything. I could watch that whole thing just reading the reactions in your facial expressions. Lara does that us! ❤
Maybe "Broken Vow" next? Another song she wrote straight from the heart.
Thank you! ❤ I'm glad my face reflects what I feel, otherwise this would be hard to do. 😉
Oh, but you can find Broken Vow already on my channel. There's even a playlist with Lara's songs I've reacted to so far. You'll find more than a couple there.
Excellent reaction to the iconic Lara giving an incredibly emotional performance. Another fantastic singer from the UK is 20 year old Lucy Thomas. She's just released on utube a brand new video performance of the classic song "Unchained Melody." Many reactors seem to think she is one of the best singers in the world. I'd be very interested in your opinion.
Thank you so much! Always a joy to listen to Lara and my playlist is expanding with every song.❤
Since I do love the original Unchained Melody, we shall soon find out. Thank you for introducing someone new to me.
Thank you very much, from France !
Merci beaucoup, France!
Hi. You have brazilian Accent
. Are you Brazilian? Thx for react her
Olá ao Brasil! Thank you for watching. 😊
No, I'm not Brazilian. I am Serbian, so my mother tongue is from the Slavic language family instead of the Romance one. I wonder why my accent sounds Brazilian...
Lara❤
I have to tell you that you look somewhat like Lara’s mother. Her mom passed about 5 years ago sadly. They were extremely close.
I just went to look her up and see a picture. It might be that her style and mine are both natural and simple, sort of remind of more than look alike maybe. Based on pictures alone, I think we might have gotten along well - she's very pleasant looking and you mention that they were extremely close, which judging by how lovely Lara is must mean that she was a great mom. ❤
She looks like Vicky Leandros when she sang "Apres toi" on Eurovision on this thumbnail.
Hiya, Kostas! ❤ That was before I was born. Looked it up, and yes, there is a resemblance.
@@AleksReacts It was 10 years before i was born too but a good song is a good song so i remember it.
We're pretty close in age, only I got a few more than you.😉 I never heard it, so even though it's not a request, I added it - just so that I do hear it myself, even if it never becomes a reaction video... If you say it's a good song, I trust you. Meaning I need to check it out. Ευχαριστώ! ❤
@@AleksReacts Sure it is a winning Eurovision song back then when that actually meant something so it is a great one.
It is quite famous too i am surprised that you say that you do not know it.
I am sure that you would like it either you make a reaction out of it or not.
I think I started watching Eurovision sometime towards the end of the 80's and then quite a few skipped years in the 90's, then picked up again in 2000's. Very messy on that really. The ones I do know "before my time" are of course Abba's Waterloo and Johnny Logan's Hold me now, but that's not due to Eurovision, just those songs becoming popular worldwide after Eurovision. To be honest, I don't know even most of my own country's entries... I mean, I know some, but many were not that good to begin with and some we should be ashamed of, like e.g. Riva's Rock me baby, which I believe won or Baby Doll's Brazil (she's a great singer btw with the worst choice of songs, but her jazz performances are WOW). 😂
The earliest date I found was 1685? Lara wrote the Lyric’s to Adajio & originally said, no that I will not do it, but they persisted & this is the product. Lara felt unworthy to touch the historical Italian Classic Instrumental. She wrote Italian Lyric’s at the same time. 🩷
I haven't gone that far. It was enough for me to know that Albinoni lived in the 17th & 18th century, provided the original theme was his in the first place i.e that Remo Giazotto did not compose it himself, which would then make it a 20th century piece. Either way, what Lara introduced to it made it just perfect.
@@AleksReactsit is now acknowledged by all music experts that Remo Giazzotto entirely composed it.
He was a fan of Albinoni who was in the shadows and clained he composed it based on fragments of Albinoni’s music sheets he has found but failed to expose these and now, following many research, everybody has concluded Remo Giazzotto is the sole composer and the music is from the 50s.
Dear Eric, I did read your first comment, I just don't want to "claim it as my own knowledge", so I left a smidgeon of possibility there. Also, let's be honest - when you state a fact related to Lara, it carries more weight.
Her Italian lyrics leave more ambiguity so that the song can be both a search for the man of her dreams and a kind of writers block. The English lyrics are more relating to the man.
I understood from other comments that the Italian version allows more clarity. I will react to the Italian version one day as well. I wonder what the differences are.
It's Laras song
I know, I also know that it's hard to follow all the talking, so you might have missed the part in the intro where that's clarified. No worries, though. 😉
as you know, "Adagio", in musical terms, means "slowly" (slower tempo)....Lara tells us that even in matters of the heart, one must go "slowly"........thanks to the comments of @ericsicard910
Hmmm, I did not see it as you described it i.e. "Lara tells us that even in matters of the heart, one must go "slowly"", but I do think this one is rather open to interpretation and it's always interesting to hear another perspective. Thank you!
@@AleksReacts That is exactly why performances of this quality are so endearing....the composer and vocalist allow the audience to develop personal interpretations & reactions....Thanks ! ........
It was written first in Italian where Adanjo means Stupid and then was an English-American conversion of the title Adanjo to Adagio and of course had changed the lyrics.Anyway her vocals are great in both versions.
I'm sorry, but as far as I know adanjo doesn't mean anything in Italian, while adagio is an actual Italian word often used in music, along with many other musical terms that come from the Italian language. Where did you get the information that it was ever called Adanjo or that it means stupid in Italian?
I really dont remember who said it,but she said that the italian version (and the american) had the term adanjo,not adagio,which means stupid.Lara says to someone who hurt her,that he is stupid.Maybe i write it wrong or is slang language.If you listen the italian version you'll hear saying Adanjo,not adagio that usually means slow music rythm.
Hmmm, it might have been a joke or something. Or I could be totally wrong and it's actually true. 😊
I think this performance is similar to Snow White. As evidenced by the song Someday My Prince Will Come to Me😂.
Absolutely confused as to what you might mean. What do you mean?
@@AleksReactsThe lyrics repeatedly emphasize that the person she longs for has not yet arrived, but that she has faith that he must exist. I think this situation is very similar to Snow White in the animation Snow White singing by the well that one day my prince will come.
Thank you so much for clarifying it for me! Now it is making far more sense. Sorry for totally missing the point in your first comment. Yes, in that sense it is reminiscent of Snow White's song.
Lara HERSELF wrote the lyrics on this old classic music composition in English and in Italian .
I prefer the Italian version. Italian is a more colored language .
Lara speaks fluent French, English, Italian and Spanish .
That is way Lara writes often the lyrics in 2 or 3 different languages on the same composition ..She also sings and records those songs in all the different languages she wrote .
I plan to listen to the Italian version as well, not sure if I can understand as well as an Italian would, but I do agree that Italian is beautiful.
Lara's is the original.
Well, with lyrics yes, but still based on a very old melody...
@AleksReacts yes.
The fabulous concert "Pure" in1997 set the stage for what was to come from this young woman. In 2000 she is still wowing listeners with her performance in the "From Lara with Love" concert. As much well deserved praise as 2000 receives, the concerts she does both in Moscow (2010) and Sochi, Russia (2016) are similar gems where every song is a masterpiece. The Moscow concert in my opinion shows a more mature Lara, and now with the added years she has additional poise and confidence (if that's even possible 😄). Sochi shows the continued evolution of Lara and with the growing influence Igor Krutoy in her music, her talent seems even stronger. In these concerts her singing just seems so effortless and her presence so elegant! Her chemistry on stage with Igor is magical and you can easily see the appreciation they have for each others talent. Between concerts, TV specials and the many interviews, one starts to appreciate the humble nature that she has and in my opinion, one of the reasons for her success is that she never takes herself too serious and doesn't try to hide her emotions. As alway thank you for your video, your reaction to her music is wonderful!
I don’t like these concerts in Moscow, probably because most of them are not sung live. It is common to use playback at TV concerts there. I would suggest the Mademoiselle Zhivago mini movie but not the concert. In addition, she was vocally not in top form in these years, especially when you compare it to the concert she has given in the last few weeks, her voice is now better than ever.
Thank you so much! ❤ I do not see how a reaction to her music could not be wonderful though. She makes one feel everything she's feeling while she's singing. Reactions to Mademoiselle Hyde with Igor Krutoy have been requested and although I can't satisfy all wishes at once, I will get to that one as well, for a glimpse of their collaboration.
@danielakeller7532 I now looked up the Mademoiselle Zhivago album and it seems quite a few songs from this album have been suggested. It would be too much to react to the whole mini movie, but I will go song by song in time. Perhaps I'm a bit too attached to the "From Lara with Love" concert as that is what I first heard from her, and I loved every single performance I listened to. Now, I need some time for all that to sink in, so I can absorb more and more...
@@AleksReacts Great but you know, the mini movie has nothing to do with the concert, it's the same songs but Lara can be seen here as an actress ua-cam.com/video/Y7k_XGs_Ybg/v-deo.htmlsi=8ilOYoo6k095c6F3
Hmmm, who'd watch me for an hour... 😂 I think I'll watch this on my own, once I complete the reactions. Can't do it sooner, or my reactions will then be fake.
