![She brought this emotional song TO LIFE! 🙌🏽 | Lara Fabian - Je Suis Malade [REACTION!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/f7S8lEf4RbM/mqdefault.jpg)
I was at this concert the night this was recorded. It's been 22 years and I still have vivid memories of that night. The audience was captivated by this performance you could not hear a sound other than sniffing. It was a case of tissues.
You lucky bastard!...
Wow that's awesome! What a privilege to have been there in that setting. I'v been fortunate to have seen Lara in concert some 12-13 times now over the years but always love the more intimate venues
You just lucky person
C'était un PBS special donc essentiellement pour un enregistrement n'est-ce pas? Quelle était la salle?
c etait a paris ??? je paierais cher pour voir cette performance live..tout simplement débile
I am a 86 year old male, classically trained singer and, your analysis is the best I have heard!
This performance is one of the best I have ever heard in my life and, if one does not have
tears they are not human!!!!!!!
Caruso is better! Best she's done imo. My favourite is Anna Moffo
I quote You. For me too is one of the best performance I have ever heard in my life...
I agree with you sir.
I am still crying!
I have been listening to it all day, also hearing the different analyses. I agree this is the best one. I also agree this performance is the best. It is heartbreaking.
I know it’s difficult to catch all the emotions when listening to a foreign language, but you did!
To me, the part that strikes me the most is when she sings “c’est ça, je suis malade”, with a mix of laughter and sorrow, it really conveys the distress and despair, bordering to insanity, of the character.
Also, the word "malade" can also mean "insane" in some contexts, usually when you're angry at someone who does something very dangerous, as in: "Il est malade, ce type !" = "This is guy crazy!".
I'm French and I've no doubt that when she sing "c'est ça, je suis malade", she answer back to her lover, in a memory of an argument where he was says her "tu es malade" and she was answers "for sur, I'm sick", and this "malade" in French means "insane" (like Stuart says in the other comment). You can feel a mix of anger and despair in it with a little bit of sarcasm, or like you said laugher and sorrow.
This show how prodigious she is in interpretation, not to speak of her wonderful voice.
Also like so much this moment. But what (for me) is the most heartbreaking moment and sounds wonderful with her voice at the same time is : "cet amour me tue"
I'm getting emotional everytime listening this moment.
As a french myself I already knew the song, so for me the most shocking thing in your video was how perfect YOUR french pronunciation is !
Absolutely! She said it perfectly! Several studies tend to indicate people with great musicality are able to pronounce foreign words as native speakers. That wouldn’t surprise me!
Carrément !
totally true, she pronouce it perfectly :-)
That doesn't shock me! she is classicaly trained and she had to take italian, french and german to sing some oratoria, arias, opera in general! but yes, that's awesome!
I am 70 and have sung on and off since I was 18. Learning a language is like singing. A language has a rhythm, a pitch, a certain approach to intonation, phrasing, and tempo. True there are differences between speaking and singing a language. A singer in whatever language will "bend" the words to the feel and technique involved in singing that language.
Lately, I have been listening to a lot of Dutch pop/rock music. The most popular singers will sing in English. Still there are others who sing exclusively in Dutch or alternate between the two languages.
Subsequently, I am learning to speak Dutch. There are some songs such as Anouk's "Wen D'r Maar Ann" = Get Used To It, that speak to me. Being functionally fluent in French, the contrast is of night and day. Dutch has hard gutteral Gs and soft gutteral chs. Native speakers are very good at pulling back on the harsh sounds of the language when singing it.
But, first I must crawl before I can fly. For an American English speaker, the temptation is to approach the hard G like clearing your throat. But upon doing that you wind up speaking Dutch like an Arabic person might approach the G. The technique is easy once you wrap your American head around the concept.
To approach sounding like a Dutch speaking person, start to say the letter H, as an English speaker would say it. But, then you quickly slide the back of your tongue toward the back of your throat...without choking or swallowing your tongue. For English speakers, especially we Americans this is very challenging but not impossible.
Adding to the challenge are the Dutch / English cognate words. They are spelled the same and mean the same as their English cousins. Dutch people say them according to Dutch conventions of pronunciation. It takes some focus at first, not to say the words as you would while speaking English.
Je trouve que les Français ne savent pas apprécier cette artiste a ça juste valeur. C'est un pilier de la chanson française...❤️❤️❤️
pas les français mais une certaine "intelligentsia" qui trouve drôle de se moquer des vrais talents. Les français achètent ses disques et vont en masse à ses concerts !
Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec vous ...
elle est apparue en meme temps que celine dion, donc deux chanteuses canadiennes, c'etait une de trop
@@osez111 Elle est Belge, mais canadienne d'adoption
@@luxio9115 s’cuse, Québécoise d’adoption...😉⚜️
The way you break down songs is like no other and Lara is a perfect person to analyze. Your education I can tell was well worth it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge it's extremely valuable!
Thank you Luie! She makes analyzing SO enjoyable
@@jessicasopranonotes yeah, this performance is truly other worldly 💞
Yes I love watching your analyses combined with your beautiful personality makes for a great video . 💙
Agreed 61K seeing this is not enough. Do we want an entire generation of singers to learn not to suppress emotion or not?
The French have always been magnificent at this. Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Serge Lana, Johnny Halliday.
Only a few Americans ever learned to sing like this. But if you want to hear it, try Nina Simone "Wild is the Wind".
Totally agree, I couldn't have said it any better :-)
I have seen a 30+ reaction videos of this performance, and I believe yours is best by light years away. You have the soul and the intelligents to put words on the emotions that I feel while listening to this master piece. Thank you for that ! BTW i'm dutch and I live in France already 23 years now, so I can understand the language and the interprétation of the lyrics of this the song directly and I'm very amazed about how you feel the song in the good context. Proof that the emotion of Music is multi language without barriers. Continue the good work and your passion ! Love from France.
There is nothing wrong in crying with the emotions arose by this perfect performance. My favourite Lara's performance. She lived it.
I've just watched three other reactions to this song, where the 'reactors' were only repeating how beautiful Lara is and how emotional the song is, while wiping away imaginary tears. They were not even looking at the video and reading the lyrics and were obviously more interested in the number of views. So in contrast, I find your reaction very refreshing and enlightened with so much expertise. Your emotion is not fake because you realize that her performance is, literally, extra-ordinary. Thank you for this great analysis of it.
Agreed. Her excitement and admiration is very authentic and analysis incisive.
Oh wow, thank you J! I just find it so important to understand why something moves me. I am glad that you and others are enjoying my own understandings of music 🤗
@@jessicasopranonotes yay! There is little talk of WHY the music affects any of us - and its different elements for everyone - but at any moment, so many things are available for the artist to use - people talk about Lara Fabian or Dimash using everything. They are remarkable, but the truth is that all of those things are available but few singers are either aware, or choose to focus on something else. Integration of all those available things...rhythm , stage movement/energy, timbre, note length, register choices (yes, choice - you reviewers who just say ITS IMPOSSIBLE!)...use it all.
@@jessicasopranonotes watch Jacques Brel live. He was leaving the scene on a stretcher because of exhaustion.
I completely agree
Look at the time it took her to come back from her character after she was done with singing. That's a master class in interpretation. She's not only singing, she's living the songs she's interpreting (whether hers or covers).
You're beautiful, the song is beautiful, Lara Fabian is beautiful, but her voice is the most beautiful on planet Earth
Lara is a beast... in the best way possible
Her performance of “Broken Vow” is just *chef’s kiss*
Someone needs to create a chef's kiss emoji.
Agreed. Plus just the fact that she writes and co-composes 90% of her music is just genious. Please do react to Broken Vow ( live from Lara with love ) as suggested by Kayden 😀
@Fedor Ivanov Just an aside; when Jackie Evancho was 10 years old, her producer David Foster was searching for songs for Jackie to sing at her first Public Broadcast Special. He contacted Lara about her song 'Broken Vow' and asked her if she would rewrite it for Jackie because he said it was "too mature" for her. Lara wrote it in French about environmental decline because that was Jackie's big thing back then(she is 20 years old now and STILL into it). Needless to say, 'Imaginer' went over big with the audience that night.
The exaggerated breaths also remind me of crying / sobbing... Like the breaths you take inbetween, as you're trying to tell a story while also crying.
yes, reminds me of that too.
I've lost count of how many times I've Watched this Song... and I get goosebumps every single time
The original singer of this song is Serge Lama. “Je suis Malade” was composed by Serge Lama himself and his friend Alice Dona and is based on an “impossible” love. The song I am sick is inspired by a true heartache by Serge Lama, the story of a long secret relationship.
In 1969, the singer met Michèle Potier in Chamonix. Love imposes itself as a certainty, but they are neither free: he married in 1968 Daisy Brun his press officer, she is married and the mother of a little boy. They love each other in secret for several years and promise to recover their freedoms, but Michele hesitates and finally flees and settles in Morocco for professional reasons. Lama is desperate, he wants to put his pain into words without succeeding, until the day he confides in his friend Alice Dona: "this story hurts me, it makes me sick". Back home, at the piano, Alice Dona composes a melody in a few hours, which very quickly, she plays the singer. It's a revelation and Serge Lama writes almost all of the text in 20 minutes. But his record company does not approve of this song, they thought people weren't going to like it so Serge Lama threatened to leave the record company and finally they agreed to release it in 1973. And it's THIS music who made it known. Then Dalida took over this song in 1978.
Un sérieux cas de "One-Itis" ce Serge Lama.
I like Serge's version better, not because he'd be better at singing, because he isn't, it's just more raw and naked.
@@Ketutar Exactly, well said! And also because it's his story so we feel his emotions when he sings!
Thank you SO SO much for sharing this sad story….
And serge lama admit than Lara was the best who delivery this song
It is fascinating to listen to a real analysis instead of just a "reaction video". You "hear" more than the others I've listened to. And you make me hear it too. I've learned and appreciated this song so much more after seeing this. Congratulations and thank you. And bthw, your French pronunciation is excellent! I'm French and can vouch for that.
Glad you enjoyed, Michel!
Lara Fabian is living artistry. She lives and breathes each song, she is the song.
I find this woman to outshine some of the biggest current musical voices. Her ability outshines Mariah with her running up and down the scales yet emotionless. Barbra Striesand who has an exquisite way of phrasing, Celine the woman with the incredible pitch and arrive at notes very high effortlessly. Lara is a magnificent vocalist, a one of a kind story teller as if we are hearing her pain and passion for the very first time. In my opinion she is the very best female vocalist to come by in a very long time. Thank you doe showcasing this wonderful woman.
To me the grit on "je bois toutes les nuits" is essentially the voice of a person who drinks excessively. Completely brilliant!
I would have to say that this is one of the most amazing performances I have ever seen. Such vocal talent. Such an arrangement. Your reaction is beyond spot on. Lara Fabian should have been and should be held as one of the best singers in history. It is no wonder that Dimash and Josh Groban want to emulate her. I don't even understand French although I have seen the subtitles with translation, but I didn't even need to see them to understand the complete desperation and passion and pain given in this performance. It is universal and yet I do not think that there are many other artists that could have done this to express the pure emotion. You can see it at the end of this video and the original video where you see her trying to recover from such an impactful and immersive performance - drawing from something that some of us can draw from but hopefully most cannot. Watch the ending to see how much that cost her. I do not think at all that it was faked. She performed this song at the risk of her health and personal safety and had to take a minute to dissociate herself from this. I do not think that was an act at all. That is not a bad thing I am saying, only to understand that she is portraying something that many could never understand. Pain, rejection, hope, denial, fear, love, expectation, (so many other emotions), all at once, summed up by her 17 second held ending vocal letting us all know these feelings all at once. Masterpiece is such a simple term to this as this will go above so many heads. Love you all.
This is the richest and most detailed interpretation of this marvelous singer singing this classic! ♥️♥️ Thank you
Very very moving and heart felt brilliant performance by one of the most exceptional artist ever! Pitch perfect, flawless. Bravo Lara Fabian.
Most of the reactions compliment Lara's performance (and rightly so) but these lyrics... Damn... these lyrics are absolutely heart wrenching.
Les auteurs de la chanson sont Serge Lama et Alice Donna.
I adore your sincerity while reacting to the video. You're a beautiful soul. God bless you.
This performance breaks my heart every time.
One of the best reactions I've ever seen to this absolute masterpiece in emotions and story telling by Lara Fabian. No wonder she's been inspiring so many younger artists. She's an absolute living legend.
Thank you for allowing us in your brain,as far as understanding lara's anguish and despair. Genius !!
This jaw-dropping performance was my gateway drug to Fabian and I've just gotten more addicted as I've delved more into her work.
Perfect marriage of technique and emotional storytelling/stagecraft.
Beautifully said!
What an actress she is! She has the talent of a great actress with a huge voice ability, and a massive heart, with power and fragility. Chanson singers like Piaf were this great. Nearly 🙂
Adagio was mine. In fact, I actually travelled to France in 2006 to attend her 'Un regard 9' tour. She speaks to the soul.
@@chong2389 I am envious that you saw her live. As amazing as vids of her live performances are, I've heard many say actually being in the audience is electric.
Maybe one day for me!
Same, gateway drug. Then it killed me.And I came back to life for more.
A MUST is her version of “Caruso” 🙂
Important...the live version also.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
@@znk0r well, she hasn't recorded Caruso in studio... Every version is live
Her version is the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
Ohh....I totally agree with you.
How have I never heard of Lara Fabian before??!! Bravo!! So beautiful.
👏👍Your's reaction and explenation of Lara's performans it's so emotionals but objectiv and truely with a hearts. I agree 100% with you...with my ears... my hearts...my soul...
Thank you! ❤️
Greetings from Croatia! 🇭🇷
I am a man but I cry every time I watch this performance. Every time. Lara is great
She is!
Men luckily cry as well.
Serge Lama a dit en entrevue : « Cette chanson mène aux larmes. » Je suis tout à fait d’accord : la tonalité, l’histoire, les mots et les images fortes et l’interprétation suscitent une émotion forte à chaque fois. C’est un chef-d’œuvre de la chanson française. Votre analyse de l’interprétation de Lara Fabian est méticuleuse et brillante.
This was a perfect performance by Lara Fabian. It’s one of many in her career. I’m glad you experienced her.
As captivating Lara is, your Reaction Video to her was just the same level of captivating, You're a very sympathetic Person. Thanks for the Reaction and greetings from Germany.
This is still too much after these years. Pain and power in perfection. 🙏🙏🔥🔥🌹🌹
Lara is actually an idol of Dimash and your analysis describes why that is. He tries to bring some of the same emotion and passion to his singing that she does...
Also, another reactor noticed that after she finished singing, she was still emotionally into the song for another 30 seconds or so because she wasn't able to even acknowledge the crowd. I can't imagine putting that much into a whole night of singing without being totally exhausted just from the pure emotions she is feeling to give those performances...
Dimash us in my humble opinion 110% technique but only 25% emotion
Love your reaction as much I love this song. I cry along with you. I've lost count as to how many times I've watched.
Wow. This is what I call a song/performance analysis. I've never seen it done better.
Thank you, Mark!
To start, I love all kinds of music but my music of preference is soul music. So this is nit my genre at all. I don’t speak French either. But this performance of this amazing song (has to be said) has literally got me obsessed. I listen to it multiple times a day and listened to many reactions. I love to see how this touches and amazes people just like it did me. It has to be one of the most moving performances ever (and I mean that literally). I have never heard anything like this and never have I felt this impacted by a single performance. And what you do, is point out exactly why that is. It makes me understand how she does what she does and how masterful it is. Thank you for that. By far the best reaction video I have seen. The one part that seems to also move me is the part where she has that anger in her voice about that Whiskey but then singns the next frases (Ont le même goût et tous les bateaux..) so angelically vulnerable.. I guess it is the contrast of that grit into that beautiful melody that gets me there… I had never even heard of Lara Fabian till a couple of days ago. She is my age and I wish I had known about her and her music when I was younger. I feel like the younger me lost out on experiencing this…
Anche a me piace il soul . Mi sono distaccata dalla musica americana e se ascolto qualcosa e dei tempi passati. Mi sto rendendo conto che gli artisti americani quelli bravi e difficile ascoltarli un po' come Lara messa da parte e poi ci propinano cantanti re del pop re del rock ma quali re regine . Riesco ancora a sentire un po' di musica inglese di altri tempi. Brava Lara Fabian.
approaching a full dozen views of this analysis / reaction to this particular performance by Lara Fabian - maybe the single best performance of any song by any performer ..... EVER ! Lara Fabian is by a long way the best conveyor of emotions; her technique is flawless, her execution of that technique is flawless, her tone is flawless, her range is flawless, her breath control is flawless, and her belting is beyond compare. On top of all that is her unique ability to allow her audience to join her into the journey of the story. The creme-de-la-creme of THIS reaction is your inciteful and delicious explanations of why I love this performance so much. I think you are the best I've seen......... and I think Lara is one of only a few true " ARTISTS " in music.
This is by far the most intelligent analysis of this song I have seen on here. Thank you! I love that song and have seen countless reaction videos, some good some less so. You have managed to make me rediscover this song, adding so many perspectives to it through your commentary. Thank you and Wow! 👍🏻
No, thank you for such a nice comment!
@@jessicasopranonotes I totally agree with what Hervé said.
You analyzed this song superbly and the way Lara sang it.
All the breaths, the pauses, the stops between certain words, have not gone unnoticed.
Well done !!

She has the best reactions and analysis for music in UA-cam, it was not just this one.
This performance made the song to a monument, cast in concrete. She Mastered the song. Even Lara herself can not repeat it. Unique. And I love your comment. You clearly know what you are talking about. Thank you.
This is the 3rd time Im am watching this. You friggin get it. Lara is awesome... Please listen to her live performance of Tango.. No one else could pull this off like she does.... again thanks
Your reaction, insight, and analysis were AMAZING! THANK YOU. The line that always gets me with its infinite tenderness is when she says "cet amour me tue..."
For all the times I’ve listened to this song/watched other people react to it, I’d never heard or considered your stunning revelation about the descending scale as a descent into despair and heartbreak. Like, I had to pause a second and just bask in that assessment. And then the combination of your gut-punching emotion and beautifully explained musical elements truly makes this one of the best reactions I’ve ever watched, not just of this song, but ever. Brava, and thank you.
oh wow, what a compliment! Thank you so much!
ua-cam.com/video/Ww3zGcl6JQk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=StephanieBarbara check this out too
Thank you my dear!
I adore Lara and your interpretation of the way she is performing touched my heart even though I ve heard this beautiful song hundreds of time
It was like the first. Your gentle soul made me cry again
Only persons with extremely high level of emotional intelligence cry during listening song full of emotions...God bless you ... greetings from Serbia
This is the reason songs exist. Oh my God!!!!!!
Your comments helped me understand and appreciate certain things about Lara's greatness even more.
Thank you
She's known for masterful technique. I've come to think of her as something of a vocal chameleon. She is ALL about the story. (Calls herself a songwriter with a voice.) You haven't heard one of her originals yet - this is a cover she tweeked significantly to famously make her own - but I think you'd love exploring her work/skills. 🖖🏽
She's fluent and writes in French Italian English and Spanish. Sings very very competently in 12 according to native speakers.
Just a brilliant artist.
Not her originals, but her covers of Caruso and Pedere L'Amore are sublime.
I didn't realize this was a cover. Now I need to listen to the original to see how she made it her own. Can't wait to do more on her!
@@jessicasopranonotes From the same concert/era, here are a few of Lara's own creations in English language: You're not from here, Broken Vow (this concert version is my favorite by far), Adagio (even though the original melody is way older than Lara).
And as pointed by @FeatherStep, Lara is a vocal chameleon. She can sing soft spoken or slay her notes, she can do low/sad songs just as well as punchy rythms (check I am who I am or I will Love Again).
Soprano Notes : the original interpretation is by Serge Lama the song writer himself.
Perdere l'amore is a Masterpiece. Love it!!!
@@jessicasopranonotes The original song was by the singer song writer Serge Lama whose father gave up his operatic career for his wife's sake and suffered from it.
My soul was shaking all along....
I really appreciate the value in your commentary, you know what you are talking about and this is so interesting!
Awe, thank you!

She does sound exhausted when she’s singing « je suis épuisée » and she does the same when she sings « je bois toutes les nuits, et tous les whiskys... » but on those words she sounds drunk.
She always mix great technic with great interpretation and i am always amazed how this french song from Dalida can be loved that much in so many countries !
Le premier interprète était Serge Lama puis par Dalida.
la chanson est de serge lama dalida l ayant reprise
This woman’s talent is so underrated...Lara is such a great talent! Great review 🙂
She is a wonderful and talented artist and in her song she makes us know that she lived throught this situation herself! Beautiful Artist I've been following her since she was young. Bravo Lara XOXO! love you!
yes that´s correct she lives everyting she sings .. she believes in all the lyrics , that the reason it resonates so much with us listeners ,not to mention her beautiful voice and tone ! it´s like story telling ! I cry too everytime i watch it and i thought it will be more impactful for french people like me but i can see that music is so universal and you don´t need to understand all the words to feel the emotion ... music is indeed universal !
I've been SO FREKING LUCKY in my life, to have enjoyed this talented ARTIST named Lara Fabian, live in concert three times in Athens, Greece where I do live. Everytime she performs this very one song, is like taking her soul outside of her own body and putting in on the stage, like it's an object or what and sharing it with the audience. It's PHENOMENONAL!
Yes, you are truly lucky to have seen Lara 3 times live! Wow. I'm so jealous!
@@frankbirch3877 I wish you can enjoy her too soon! xxx
I have watch this Lara Fabian video probably more then 1000 times in last 2 years and have seen many reactions videos of this performance. Still to this day every time I see it, I’m still in amazement of Lara’s beauty, her grace, her emotions, and THAT VOICE! This is the best reaction video to Lara Fabian I’ve seen. Keep up the good videos.
Thank you James!
I just recently found this song, and every time she sings "I pour my blood down over your body
& I'm like a dead bird while you sleep" I tear up or tear down. I liked your break down it made her performance seem even more impressive. Well done good soul, God bless.
first time listener and you are simply fabulous in your keen observations and detailed very smart observations of this performance. As for Lara and this stunning-heart shredding performance, this might be best I have seen in my 78 years filled with music across all genres
Thanks Jeff and welcome!
legendary performance, and this song, it hurts so much
It's just so good!
It has killed me repeatedly. Thus I know reincarnation to be true.
Your ability to convey your mastery of art and technique while responding with exquisite sensitivity and immediacy is unusual among UA-cam reactors. It heightened my pleasure in and appreciation for the performance. Thank you!
You're welcome Robert! Thank you for your nice comment!
As a french (sorry for my poor english) fan of Lara Fabian i'm amazed on how you make me discover the singing tricks that blew my heart: the whispers, the acapella... I also think that her body language do a lot, she is not to far, not to less, just right because she really seems to live what she sings.
There are loads of good singers, but she is a perfect, unique performer and that is something else. She tells her story, to you, personally. And you get involved, you can't escape.
I'm French and I can say that you have a beautiful accent👌🏻
Thank you for this good analysis😘
💛 Thank you!
The piano and her dropped eyes in beginning sets up everything you need to prepare for a master performance. You can’t turn away.
Lara Fabian is my favorite vocalist of all time. She can belt them with incredible emotional efficacy in 12 Languages!! ( youtube Lara sings in 12languages !!!). Can Mariah, Celine, Streisand, The late Whitney , perform in even 3 languages? And she writes many of the songs she performs. Her “ Lara with love” 1998 concert that this was culled from also contains “ Adagio”, “Caruso” “ Broken Vow”
“ You’re Not From Here” and is considered by many fans and professional vocalists as the greatest live concert of all time-me included.
You must react to 2 songs she wrote from this incredible concert : “ Adagio” ( Dimash did a version ) and ” Broken Vow “ made popular by Josh Groban. “ Broken Vow” is the final song and she introduces it by explaining how she came to write it. Brought tears to my eyes as she received a long standing ovation. Please continue to react and analyze.
Al
yes, other singers like C. Dion or B. Streisand can sing in at least 3 languages!
Y r u comparing her to other artists it’s impressive in of itself for her to be able to sing in 12 languages and btw she’s only fluent in 3 of those and Mariah has performed in 3 different languages btw so please sit down u don’t have to diminish these artists to uplift Lara🌚
I can not say how many times I've listened to this recording but it still haunts me. I love how your reactions and interpretations were through emotion, not only technique. I cried with you... Thank you for sharing this moment with us ♥
this performance is a masterclass in emotion....
If this performance isnt the perfect example of vocal expression I dont know what is
I haven’t heard a better interpretation of Lara’s singing than yours👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Completely different genre, style, delivery in their music: Dolly Parton uses her songs many times in her singing speech voice. I never thought of her drawing the audience into the story. Here is a fun fact about her Thanksgiving Halftime show: The Stage was suppose to lower her down, the stage refused. So, as she began descending on her own, the back broke off 1 of her high heels. Dolly holds onto the stage long enough for her too gain her balance descending a little further. The joy of live shows, and keep on going when things don’t go as planned. *Several men in the studio said, “It’s time Dolly acted her age”. When has anyone said that about a man?
*I have only recently discovered Lara Fabian & I’ve fallen in love with her. Stunning in every way. How did the U.S. miss out until recently. Thank you so much for the joy & knowledge of music you share. God bless, Timothy in Tallahassee, Florida 🌞🌴
Dimash is one of her biggest fan. They finally sang together in a song called Ti Amo cosi
That perfomance is definitrly worth checking out. All three singers are incredible!
For me, one of the most masterful parts is round 14:30. When she's been showing how this love makes her physically ill since the beginning of the song (the drinking, the body language), there's a shift at that moment where she shows how it also made her mentally ill (« malade » in French has both meanings) with the smile, the laugh, the wonderful « C'est ça, je suis malade! ». It's heartbreaking. Lara Fabian is both one of the greatest singers in the world, but she is also a very genuinely kind and loving being. Clearly an empath that we all should cherish. Good analysis on your part, very interesting.
Fully agree, she having a nervous breakdown before our eyes
Lara Fabian was not only a vocalist whose in a master class level but also a great storyteller. She deserves to be in the Vocal Trinity
There are too many people on UA-cam doing vocal and music reviews that clearly don’t have the credentials. I’m glad I found one channel I can sub to when I’m in the mood for good analysis and discourse, thank you!
Just 3 simple words... LARA IS FABULOUS
This by far the best analysis of this song. Don't be ashamed to be touched and to cry. It's what we all feel. Thank you for your emotions and analysis.
Watching this reaction again, maybe for the 6th time. So sorry you never wanted to react to her singer again. Thank you again for this amazing reaction.
I had to laugh when you said "I'm not going to cry." I just nodded and said, ”Wanna bet?"
My favorite part about this reaction video is not how you relayed the technical stuff about Lara's voice, but rather the performance, and what she did to pull us in.
I am a metalhead, but I could listen to Lara Fabian all day. She could sing Happy Birthday at a kid's party & send everyone home in tears. Love her.
Your french pronunciation is top notch and your reaction is so so great 🌺
I ve been at her consert front row. Nobody sing like her, masterclass on every level of singing and performing.
What an experience!
Lara Fabian and her entire orchestra know they have created a masterpiece
Nothing to add or say, just perfection. A true artist.
You have to listen to her version of Caruso it is even better. Also Adajio. She is simply the best.
Your reaction quite literally has been THE most emotional and genuine I have seen for this artist and song. Excellent analysis and reaffirmation of how important it is to understand the singer's perspective and ability to tell a difficult story. Thank you.
At 14:30 when she has some nervous laughter as she exclaims that she is "malade", this is just amazing...
Cette interprétation, je ne m'en lasse pas... C'est incroyable, émouvant, une voix et un ressenti unique... Juste merveilleux 👋💗
N'oublions pas Serge Lama, un de ses plus grands tubes...
Lara is the absolute Goddess of Delivery of her songs
çà, c'est de l'interprètation !!!! que peu peuvent réaliser,c'est un chef d'oeuvre comme lui a dit Serge Lama interpète original de cette chanson,un grand salut à toi, André. La perfection n'est pas de ce monde mais Lara s'en rapproche plus que tous.
Désolé, mais celle de Dalida est beaucoup plus mélancolique. En tout cas, elle me donne plus de frissons
@@arnolt2590 salut Arno, la version de Dalida est plus dans le genre Serge lama version féminine, plus pour les francophones, Lara la rendue plus "musicale" dans le sens international, Serge et Dalida, on sûrement ressenti les paroles dans leurs chairs, l'interprétation n'est pas la même mais quand-même Lara la transformée en chef d'œuvre musical( dit par Serge lama lui même, bonne soirée à toi, André
So impressed by your analysis ! You’re a soul woman and I’m happy I found your Chanel ! Thank u 🙏🏻 Love from 🇫🇷👍🏼🍒
Your reaction and commentary to this performance is the best. Love your channel.
this is for me her best live performance. your reaction is gold.
It's so fantastic to see someone who GETS IT
Vous m'avez convaincu d'aller revoir cette artiste exceptionnelle en concert !!!
She gives me goosebumps 😢❤
So much emotional 😢
You are amazing, your dissection and description of Lara Fabian masterful technique is the best in UA-cam. Love that you show your emotion to a very emotional song. Keep up the good work. By the way, you sing beautifully too!
I've heard this song way too many times and every time I cry. Just let it flow. Best reaction to this one I've ever seen.
Finally a real real analysis. French really allows you to whisper and play with words. Watching how the person translated it to English is quite ok but you lose a little bit of the gravity of the lyrics but Lara does the job and she really poured it out… she made a fantastic job, I’m proud of her for that.. a real performer.. Tony award material.
You have to cry! It's Lara Fabian! Everyone does it! 💗
