Lara was facing hard times , both on the personal (health, love betrayal and breakup) and professional (her progress blocked in the US by her own record company) sides. Her fanbase knew most of it and wanted to show support and they used this song, one of her biggest hits in France, replacing the title” Je t’aime / I love you” by “On t’aime / We love you”. I love how Lara, after the initial surprise, establishes a beautiful dialog with the crowd, giving them room to sing with her. It shows how benevolent and humble she is. The song itself is a gem, it was as I said one of her songs that reached the top 10 in France charts. But it even grew bigger after it and has become now a french classic, her most iconic french song. It is still attracting a lot of covers from the young french and canadian vocalists generation (Amir, Jeck, …). Most frenchmen know the song by heart. Surprisingly, it was also a massive success in russia and eastern europe: she became a superstar there thanks to it (and 15 years before her lengthy collaboration with Igor Krutoy that extended this even further) and the song is a MUST in russian karaoke and a recurrent in russian singer contests. Again many covers of this songs from eastern europe talents: Polina Gagarina, Sevara Nazarkhan, Katerina Maslova, Natalia Tsarikova, … As always with her biggest hits, Lara has performed it in many different ways: • Intense and powerful at World Music Awards 1999, • Subtle and delicate in her En Toute Intimité 2003 tour. • Classy and moving, performing with 2 vertebrae broken, at Royal Albert Hall in London (2011) • Jazzy in a recent perf (2018) with a band from Quebec The lyrics are also mesmerizing. Despite the title, it is not a classic love song but a breakup song instead. “Je t’aime” was written by Lara Fabian and Rick Allison, her longtime music producer and composer. He also had been her boyfriend for a few years, at the start of her career. This song was written when their love evolved to a friendship and a professional relationship . It speaks about a couple splitting while still having a lot of sentiments one for the other.
@Throga Definitely you have to do a video conference with Eric in your next Live or Lara’s reaction talking about our Lara...He is the Best for that!!!😊😊
They didn't start singing because she was choked up, they planned that, someone yells "chante pas Lara!" don't sing Lara, because they wanted to sing it to her. Just purely beautiful 💜🎶
The story behind this specific performance: Lara was in a bad time, (then) recently ended a relationship and was in a deep low. Her fans contacted her music/show production, and told him that they wanna surprise her with this song and he arranged with them that when he will pause after the first notes, they will start singing... AMD THEY DID, and you see Lara's shocked reaction... look up for the lyrics. In the chorus they sing to her "on t'aime" (WE love you) and she responds "je t'aime" (I love you)...
No matter how many times I watch this I cry. The song name in english is, 'I love you' (Je t'aime). She was going through very emotionally rough patch at the time and her band colluded with the fans when its time to do the song. to sing to her, 'We love you' (Ont t'aime), to lift her spirit, to which she tearfully responded 'Je t'aime'. Me: Whoosh! tears. Also, the fans sounded great!😊
French lyrics then english translation: D'accord, il existait D'autres façons de se quitter Quelques éclats de verre Auraient peut-être pu nous aider Dans ce silence amer J'ai décidé de pardonner Les erreurs qu'on peut faire À trop s'aimer D'accord, la petite fille En moi souvent te réclamait Presque comme une mère Tu me bordais, me protégeais Je t'ai volé ce sang Qu'on aurait pas dû partager À bout de mots, de rêves Je vais crier Je t'aime, je t'aime Comme un fou, comme un soldat Comme une star de cinéma Je t'aime, je t'aime Comme un loup, comme un roi Comme un homme que je ne suis pas Tu vois, je t'aime comme ça D'accord je t'ai confié Tous mes sourires, tous mes secrets Même ceux dont seul un frère Est le gardien inavoué Dans cette maison de pierre Satan nous regardait danser J'ai tant voulu la guerre De corps qui se faisaient la paix Je t'aime, je t'aime Comme un fou, comme un soldat Comme une star de cinéma Je t'aime, je t'aime Comme un loup, comme un roi Comme un homme que je ne suis pas Tu vois, je t'aime comme ça Je t'aime, je t'aime Comme un fou, comme un soldat Comme une star de cinéma Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime Comme un loup, comme un roi Comme un homme que je ne suis pas Tu vois, je t'aime comme ça, ouuh Tu vois, je t'aime comme ça Fine, there where Other ways to separate Some glass splinters May have helped us In this bitter silence I decided to forgive The mistakes we might make When we are loving too much Fine, the little girl In me often demanded you Almost like a mother You tucked me up, protected me I've stolen from you that blood The one that we should not have shared Out of words and dreams I want to scream Refrain: I love you, I love you Like a madman, like a soldier Like a movie star I love you, I love you Like a wolf, like a king Like a man who's not me You see, i love you that way Fine, I trusted you All my smiles, all my secrets Even those which only a brother Is the secret guardian of In this house made of stone Devil was watching us while we were dancing i wanted so much the war Of our bodies, who were in peace Refrain: I love you, i love you Like a madman, like a soldier Like a movie star I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you Like a wolf, like a king Like a man who's not me You see, i love you that way You see, I love you that way
I see that other people have already commented about how the crowd was saying “we love you“ and she was replying with “I love you“. The other comments have also talked about how she was going through a really tough time and the audience knew about it and they planned this way of telling her that she was loved by them. It’s even more touching when you get that. At one point just before she was starting to sing, someone in the audience yelled “don’t sing Lara”, basically saying that they were going to sing to her … about how they loved her. The reply she said near the beginning is something along the lines of “you caught me off guard“. Anyway, this is the most amazing audience interaction I’ve ever seen. It would’ve been amazing to be there. I’m so glad they gave that gift to her … and to everyone who gets to watch it like us. Puts a tear in my eye every time I watch.
Adagio she wrote for herself and Dimash covered it years later in competition he won the night when he did it on (I am singer) and often does it in concert. It also brought him to her attention and thus Igor's attention. She and Igor wrote My love for him another concert fav. Lara live is always the way to go to get the full impact after you have actually heard more of her work especially live go back and watch the audience version and you will have a better grasp on the emotional out pouring and why. Her concert from Lara with love is a tour de force by any measure. She wrote Broken Vow as well which has been covered by Barbra Streisand and Josh Grobin although the version that Lara sings outclasses them all it is simply wow. Her version of Caruso which is normally sung by an older male opera singer will rock you back on your heels for sure. In other words I know right now you have not been given enough of her singing to really fall in love but I promise stay on the path and you absolutely will.
I would like to add a few things to Eric's post. Lara and Rick Allison had a much deeper connection than him being only a boyfriend of a few years. They started out from nothing, even living in a car for months while trying to get gigs from town to town all over Canada. They were even engaged for a time. Not to mention all the songs that they wrote and composed together over a decade of love, friendship to their final parting in 2003. As for Lara's performance in the Royal Albert Hall in 2011, 2 days before the concert Lara was rushed to the hospital after collapsing which resulted the 2 broken vertebrate. She was in a lot of pain and she was unable to walk and sit upright properly. The concert was for Mikhail Gorbachev's birthday, so Lara didn't want to decline the honor to perform for him, so she was put into a cast/brace and was given some Morphine for the pain. So when you watch her walk on stage she is basically high and in a cast to keep her bones from shifting while she was moving and singing her song LIVE, NOT FROM A PLAYBACK in absolute perfection. Till this day I have no idea how in the world was she able to pull that one off.
One of Lara greatest attributes is RESPECT -- she always shows respect to a song's composer, she shows respect to whatever orchestra is accomping her, but most of all she respects her audience and their journey with into whatever piece she is performing.................this shows how much her fans respect her in return. This is maybe the hundredth time I've watched this video and I still bawl like a child every time.
Well when she goes to New York, tickets are sold in less than 24 hours usually Carnegie Hall or Beacon Theatre, last time was at the Beacon theatre , she got a 7 minutes standing ovation at the end when she sang the crowd s favorite ADAGIO in 2018
Lara is gorgeous, she is a queen. I am very happy and excited to hear the live performance of diva LARA FABIAN, whom I have admired for 26 years, at her concert in Istanbul on April 25th. A real artist doesn't just sing, he writes that song, composes it and performs it on stage. I curse the American music industry and Sony Music every day. The evil they did to him is incredible. Suan is much more talented than those portrayed as divas in America, so they blocked her way. We want to see more Lara Fabian videos on your channel.For example ''BROKEN WOW '' :):)
And here I am crying now.😢 Did you know she's going to perform a concert in Budapest the week before Dimash's? I would love to go, but unfortunately, I can only attend Dimash's concert. She is spectacular. Only the two of them can evoke such raw emotions through their voices.
This is a beautiful picture of humanity's capacity for selfless love, compassion, and care. If such love were so freely given to everyone all the time, empathetically and as robustly, so many of the world's troubles would go away. The love the audience demonstrates to her right when she needed it the most is a precious and beautiful thing to watch. It was planned by the audience and her pianist, without her knowledge as a gift of compassion to Lara who was struggling deeply with depression at that time and this is evident by her complete shock at yhe close of the intro. A person is so loved because they have demonstrated that kind of love and generosity to others. If we could all love as readily as this audience because we know another needs it, our world would be a very different place. This is a stunning moment from which we can all learn.
Her devoted fanbase when the entire audience sings to her "We love you!" It's a touching moment because of her personal sagas at that time. She is a superstar in her own right, but was betrayed when her record label felt 2 female singers from Quebec weren't viable and chose Celine Dion and dumped her. That's why she is a relative unknown in North America. Just like how Dimash today is a relative unknown. Record industry in the USA is notorious.
👉This song Je T'aime/I love you is Lara's original song (Songwriter: Lara Fabian / Rick Allison) next to Adagio, probably her most famous and well-known song in the world. Je t’aime means: “I love you” and the audience sings: “We love you” (On t’aime). I think every artist can only wish for fans who will stand by you and show interest when you're going through a dark time. From what I understand, she had a difficult time because she found out that Celin Dion (management) had hindered her career in the US. Lara's fans joined forces with the pianist and sang the song for her. Have Celin Dion fans ever sang for her? I think at that moment Lara felt that the US wasn't the center of the world and that she was going to have a great career either way.
❤😊oh you guys are amazing for adding this to us tomorrow! Thanks! Unfortunately, at this time tomorrow, I will be at an anti-government demonstration in Budapest in front of the Parliament building, but it's very cool that I will be with you later in the evening. 😅 woww I'm really curious about your reactions! big hug!❤ Agnes
Transcendent is the right word for this incredible talent. Not just the beauty of her voice, her stage presence, the conviction and fine nuance of her story-telling, but every performance a Master Class in skill and finely honed technique. And then... aside from her artistry, her character just shines out of her. Lara genuinely has a Sweet Heart.
Most Americans are not aware of artists from other countries. There was a headline ! the best female singers in the world and it only listed 5 American singers lol
I know! Right? Look I get it thst these US Reactors are products of a system where, for decades, they continually were told & believed, that their country alone was the repository of all talent, had the 'Best & Brightest' of everything - including music. Even so, here in 2024, it is profoundly jarring to the rest of the world that so many in the US are still so jaw-dropped gobsmacked when they discover the truth. After all, how long now have they had access to the internet to explore beyond their borders? There is also a long-standing bias within the 'Western' Music Industry against Non-English Speaking artists / songs - still. It is great to see this starting to break down and music as 'The Universal Language', asserting its rightful place, transcending land, cultural and language barriers.
This is not a video to comment about a performance, but to comment about humanity. The rumor is that the audience was told that she would not be performing. Somehow, the word spread through the crowd that they would sing for her. So knowing the difficult times she was going through, the crowd wholeheartedly sang "I love you" to her. They gave her strength to return the sentiment. You can clearly see how moved she was, and was motioning to them when she sang "I love you" in return. Her fans have so much love and compassion for her. Breathtaking and emotional to see what humanity, true love, and compassion looks like.
As others have expressed this performance makes for misty eyes! This I believe is her signature song and she has sung "Je t'aime" throughout her career and one of the 1st songs she had written. 6000+ fans made this performance a love fest. Her fans indeed truly love her and they have been devoted fans throughout her career. This is not the 1st time her fans rallied to her side; there a concert where she became very ill and lost her voice...she stepped out on the stage and explained because she was ill there were certain songs she would not be able to sing and thus she explained that she had backup singer ready to help her.; when the piano started playing Pas Sans Toi (Not without You) and one of her 1st song she wrote as well and her favorite...her fans spontaneously started to sing...Lara stood there fighting tear... There's another performance of Pas Sans Toi where she explains; the song was written for one person and over the years it became for another then another and so on. She has since dedicated this song to her fans and she explains she would not be where she is "not without you"!
YES!!! I cannot wait for this reaction. Richard, this may be a 2 tissue box reaction. I have seen this a hundred times and i still bawl! ( impatiently looks at clock...)
Their are very few people in the world who give so much of themselves that the fans are eager and willing to go above and beyond to give back of themselves. She is truly a genuine human who loves her fans and it shows in their response to help her through a tough time.
I wish they were using the live version of Lara singing the full version instead of the music video her ability to emote when live is staggering. But I would watch her just stand still she is so amazing I will take what I can get.
I love the way the song seem to magically come out of her lips effortlessly, the tone as smooth as the finest glass, and it hits every listening ear with power - forceful yet touchingly delicate, strong yet gentle, loud yet quiet, and one is left with a heart that can't help but fall in love with Lara Fabian's wondrous voice.... How I wish I can sing like her, but I dare not try for fear that the birds around my neck of the woods will start their hibernation in the middle of spring, traumatised by my screeching I can give a banshee a run for their money...
You have to do some reactions asap for anything from her Lara with love concert all are amazing. She dropped a new song in the past month or two. Again fantastic!!
I have seen a lot of live performance of "Je t'aime", but never this one. Thanks for the sharing, I've got tear in my eyes ! Lara's voice is always incredible, and she can convey emotions like no others female singer, in my opinion. But this dialogue with the audience ? What a touching, beautiful, intimate moment ! It's pure love . Please, react to her duet with Maurane, "Tu es mon autre", it's such a beautiful song !
Lara wrote Je t'aime, not Johnny Halliday. I have the original album the song came out on and it says Lyrics by Lara, Music by Lara and Rick Allison, her former fiancé. It's one of my favourite of hers, which I sang at an interprovincial (Quebec and Ontario) singing competition. Won Festival Best Vocal Performance with it. I call it my lucky song.
Nice reaction guys 👏, it's so hard not to cry. What a singer, amazing!. Lara and Dimash are the best singers of our time. "Ta peine", "Par Amour", "Ma Vie Dans La Tienne", "L'oubli",..., besides "je t'aime" and "je suis malade" are some of her other great songs👏 👋☺️
Great reaction. You guys really need to look at the songs from her famous concert "From Lara With Love". All the songs from that concert are perfect. Adagio, Curuso, You're Not From Here, Broken Vow, Pedere L'amore, Quedate, I Am Who I Am, I Will Love Again just to mention a few.
The song JE T AIME is one of her best, and the audience sings On t'aime that means WE LOVE YOU ... that's why she is so emotional... they give her their love and she is giving it to them such a beautiful moment full of simplicity and truth very far from what we see now... Must say French artists are often in this kind of sharing emotions...
Lara and Aida will be in London on May 9th 2024: Stjepan HAUSER premiers his Classic II album plus some Classic favourites with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. He will be joined by special guests Caroline Campbell, Lara Fabian, Aida Garifullina and conductor Robert Ziegler. All that's missing is Dismah to reform their trio!
Love love love Aida, Lara, Hauser!!! I don't know other artists, but this three is on my top list! ...I have a long top list...there is so many good musician's ))))
Es una pena q Celine sea maravillosa como cantante ,pero le faltó la sensibilidad del ARTISTA, es lo q a LARA la enaltece, q además de ser una maravillosa cantante, es una "persona genuina" AMO A LARA!!!❤❤❤
Lara Fabian is what I call a soulful singer. The resonance of her voice is sometimes shivering. "Je T'Aime" is one of the most beautiful love songs EVER WRITTEN, it's coauthored by Lara, she's a genius as a singer and as a songwriter. "Je suis malade" is another of her gems, she's not one of the authors but definitely she's the owner cause no one can deliver that song like she does. You should react to that one too.
Lara’s a masterclass! OMG hope she surprises DQ at his concert you’re attending 👀!! Thanks.. it’s always lovely watching & learning with & from y’all! 💯♥️2u2
Wouldn’t that be incredible for everyone at the Budapest concert, I have been hoping for that ever since I heard about her concert immediately before his. I won’t be there, but I’ll be thrilled for the entire audience.
She actually wrote this song, but, the one you should watch and assess is her duet with Johnny Halliday, "Requiem pour un fou" their live performance is very powerful
Saludos desde Perú me encanta sus reacciones. Lara es la mejor, su voz y el sentimiento que trasmite diversas emociones, sólo ella y Dimach logran eso en mi. ❤❤❤
In fact , The crowd changed the lyriks from "Je t'aime " meaning "I love you " to "ON t'aime " meaning "WE love you " crying out the love they have for her .❤
She was called "The Ring" not because she had a ringing tone after certain notes, it was because she could sing to a theater of 8000 without a mic and the sound and quality could be heard completely perfect throughout
Hi as I said in chat before.."mademoiselle hyde "is one of her amazing performances from new wave 2016..also dimash has covered the song..and you can see dear Igor krutoy playing the piano for both..
Vous Un bonjour de la ville de Lyon (France). Cette video est un moment d une rare intensité et d émotion entre le public et une chanteuse ,qui reflète tout l amour partagé entre eux. Si vous pouviez également visionner Adagio en version live,vous pourriez vous rendre compte de toute la puissance et la technique de son chant. Merci a vous de faire connaitre une chanteuse française. J adore vos commentaires et votre humour merci a vous
Thank you for this lovely reaction to this gorgeous song. There is a a cute snippet of Dimash singing this song at Karaoke when he is quite young that I also love watching
Lara Fabian is, to steal a term from someone else's term..............the Ultimate Artist - technically perfect, tonally perfect, powerful yet warm and delicate presentation............simply put she is one of a very few consumate artists. Few covers are as impactful as an original performance but her version is just that........THE standard to which all are compared -- anpther example would be the song " Caruso " which is usually covered by an operatic tenor but her version of that song is the one that comes to mind when you hear it. The best singer EVER !!
the outpour of over 50-70 thousand fans singing to her in Paris. the fans had planned it in the background to sing to her this song. you can hear one fan sing when they start " Don't sing Lara"
The thing I find so moving about this video is how much her fans love her… she was struggling at the time and almost didn’t perform that night and she was really worried about performing that song (thus her hesitation at the start) so her audience stepped up and turned it around to show how much THEY loved HER…
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa e increíble canción e interpretación de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe! Gracias!
Lara is criminally unknown by a lot of people, I have been talking to people since the 90’s about her and lots of people were unaware of her. I’m spreading the word like it’s my job!
I've just discovered your channel and love your reactions to Lara. Your comments reflect what I'm hearing but don't know how to put into words. Thanks for finding a video of Lara actually singing Je T'aime. In the future, I highly recommend only live performances. You can already see she puts her soul into her songs and there is no better way to experience them. I recommend any performance from her "From Lara With Love" concert. Her rendition of "Caruso" is breathtaking. And she wrote "Broken Vow", another stunning song and performance .
Looking forward to many more Lara Fabian reactions from you I discovered her less than a year ago and have been playing catch up ever since. I’m planning on making a trip to Ottawa to see her in June.
I am so glad, I chose to go to Budapest early to see Lara perform live. I will try to take a bit of video, and show it to you, when I see you in Budapest. Great reaction!
I like your reactions and your chemistry, you guys are obviously friends, besides being accomplished professionals; it is always a joy to watch your content. On the phenomenon that is Lara Fabian: all I have to say is that you are in for a treat, as you unfold this unique soul’s body of work. She is a complete artist, a wonderful human being and an inspiration to all of us. Her ability to convey and project emotion is truly second to none, while the all-encompassing power of her voice and presence leaves noone untouched. Truly the absolute greatest, IMHO. I suggest you analyse more of her performances from her “From Lara with Love” live concert (“Adagio”, “Broken Vow”, “Love by Grace”, “You are not from here”, ”Carouso”, etc.) but you should absolutely also look further: “Tango” shows such a sensual side of her and “Mademoiselle Hyde” is a recent live where she embodies two distinct characters in one song like noone else. In my opinion, however, the most breathtaking masterclass in singing, acting, owning the stage and honouring one of her idols, Barbra Streisand, is the “Yentl Medley” live in Montreal. Give it a try and be amazed; can’t wait to see your reaction to it. I am so jeallous of you being able to experience all those wonderful performances for the first time :) Thank you and keep it up!

Lara was facing hard times , both on the personal (health, love betrayal and breakup) and professional (her progress blocked in the US by her own record company) sides.
Her fanbase knew most of it and wanted to show support and they used this song, one of her biggest hits in France, replacing the title” Je t’aime / I love you” by “On t’aime / We love you”.
I love how Lara, after the initial surprise, establishes a beautiful dialog with the crowd, giving them room to sing with her.
It shows how benevolent and humble she is.

Surprisingly, it was also a massive success in russia and eastern europe: she became a superstar there thanks to it (and 15 years before her lengthy collaboration with Igor Krutoy that extended this even further) and the song is a MUST in russian karaoke and a recurrent in russian singer contests.
Again many covers of this songs from eastern europe talents: Polina Gagarina, Sevara Nazarkhan, Katerina Maslova, Natalia Tsarikova, …
As always with her biggest hits, Lara has performed it in many different ways:
• Intense and powerful at World Music Awards 1999,
• Subtle and delicate in her En Toute Intimité 2003 tour.
• Classy and moving, performing with 2 vertebrae broken, at Royal Albert Hall in London (2011)
• Jazzy in a recent perf (2018) with a band from Quebec
The lyrics are also mesmerizing. Despite the title, it is not a classic love song but a breakup song instead.
“Je t’aime” was written by Lara Fabian and Rick Allison, her longtime music producer and composer. He also had been her boyfriend for a few years, at the start of her career. This song was written when their love evolved to a friendship and a professional relationship . It speaks about a couple splitting while still having a lot of sentiments one for the other.
Dude!! We may need to have you on as a guest at some point to guide us through some of her work! Thank you for the info :)
@Throga Definitely you have to do a video conference with Eric in your next Live or Lara’s reaction talking about our Lara...He is the Best for that!!!😊😊
@@throga Do it!
@@throga 🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That would be awesome!
Lara sings "I love you" but crowd singing back to her "we love you (Lara)"
They didn't start singing because she was choked up, they planned that, someone yells "chante pas Lara!" don't sing Lara, because they wanted to sing it to her. Just purely beautiful 💜🎶
Choked
@@Justyna_N she got chocked AFTER... and nobody is trying to justify her, as there's nothing to cover her, or justify...
💯💯💯💥
No Emmy or Oscar or any other award could ever equal the powerful and sincere outpouring of love from the audience to an artist ❤
Sphie❤
The story behind this specific performance:

Me: Whoosh! tears. Also, the fans sounded great!😊
Completely agree! And her reaction was so perfect ❤
I cry ,too.Same here.
У неё умер муж, поэтому фанаты так её поддержали на концерте, когда она пела эту песню.
French lyrics then english translation:
D'accord, il existait
D'autres façons de se quitter
Quelques éclats de verre
Auraient peut-être pu nous aider
Dans ce silence amer
J'ai décidé de pardonner
Les erreurs qu'on peut faire
À trop s'aimer
D'accord, la petite fille
En moi souvent te réclamait
Presque comme une mère
Tu me bordais, me protégeais
Je t'ai volé ce sang
Qu'on aurait pas dû partager
À bout de mots, de rêves
Je vais crier
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Comme un fou, comme un soldat
Comme une star de cinéma
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Comme un loup, comme un roi
Comme un homme que je ne suis pas
Tu vois, je t'aime comme ça
D'accord je t'ai confié
Tous mes sourires, tous mes secrets
Même ceux dont seul un frère
Est le gardien inavoué
Dans cette maison de pierre
Satan nous regardait danser
J'ai tant voulu la guerre
De corps qui se faisaient la paix
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Comme un fou, comme un soldat
Comme une star de cinéma
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Comme un loup, comme un roi
Comme un homme que je ne suis pas
Tu vois, je t'aime comme ça
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Comme un fou, comme un soldat
Comme une star de cinéma
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
Comme un loup, comme un roi
Comme un homme que je ne suis pas
Tu vois, je t'aime comme ça, ouuh
Tu vois, je t'aime comme ça
Fine, there where
Other ways to separate
Some glass splinters
May have helped us
In this bitter silence
I decided to forgive
The mistakes we might make
When we are loving too much
Fine, the little girl
In me often demanded you
Almost like a mother
You tucked me up, protected me
I've stolen from you that blood
The one that we should not have shared
Out of words and dreams
I want to scream
Refrain:
I love you, I love you
Like a madman, like a soldier
Like a movie star
I love you, I love you
Like a wolf, like a king
Like a man who's not me
You see, i love you that way
Fine, I trusted you
All my smiles, all my secrets
Even those which only a brother
Is the secret guardian of
In this house made of stone
Devil was watching us while we were dancing
i wanted so much the war
Of our bodies, who were in peace
Refrain:
I love you, i love you
Like a madman, like a soldier
Like a movie star
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Like a wolf, like a king
Like a man who's not me
You see, i love you that way
You see, I love you that way
I see that other people have already commented about how the crowd was saying “we love you“ and she was replying with “I love you“. The other comments have also talked about how she was going through a really tough time and the audience knew about it and they planned this way of telling her that she was loved by them. It’s even more touching when you get that. At one point just before she was starting to sing, someone in the audience yelled “don’t sing Lara”, basically saying that they were going to sing to her … about how they loved her. The reply she said near the beginning is something along the lines of “you caught me off guard“. Anyway, this is the most amazing audience interaction I’ve ever seen. It would’ve been amazing to be there. I’m so glad they gave that gift to her … and to everyone who gets to watch it like us. Puts a tear in my eye every time I watch.
The song title Je t'aime - I love you. Lara sings it to the crowd.
And the audience sings On t'aime - We love you!
Never seen a better performer in all my years. Every time she sings I feel like crying.
Adagio she wrote for herself and Dimash covered it years later in competition he won the night when he did it on (I am singer) and often does it in concert. It also brought him to her attention and thus Igor's attention. She and Igor wrote My love for him another concert fav. Lara live is always the way to go to get the full impact after you have actually heard more of her work especially live go back and watch the audience version and you will have a better grasp on the emotional out pouring and why. Her concert from Lara with love is a tour de force by any measure. She wrote Broken Vow as well which has been covered by Barbra Streisand and Josh Grobin although the version that Lara sings outclasses them all it is simply wow. Her version of Caruso which is normally sung by an older male opera singer will rock you back on your heels for sure. In other words I know right now you have not been given enough of her singing to really fall in love but I promise stay on the path and you absolutely will.
The music is first and foremost based on Albinoni's Adagio, rearranged by Lara, on which she wrote Italian and English Lyrics.
My favorite song ❤
this performance is a beautiful conversation between lara and her fans
lara: je t'aime (i love you)
fans: on t'aime (we love you)
I would like to add a few things to Eric's post. Lara and Rick Allison had a much deeper connection than him being only a boyfriend of a few years. They started out from nothing, even living in a car for months while trying to get gigs from town to town all over Canada. They were even engaged for a time. Not to mention all the songs that they wrote and composed together over a decade of love, friendship to their final parting in 2003. As for Lara's performance in the Royal Albert Hall in 2011, 2 days before the concert Lara was rushed to the hospital after collapsing which resulted the 2 broken vertebrate. She was in a lot of pain and she was unable to walk and sit upright properly. The concert was for Mikhail Gorbachev's birthday, so Lara didn't want to decline the honor to perform for him, so she was put into a cast/brace and was given some Morphine for the pain. So when you watch her walk on stage she is basically high and in a cast to keep her bones from shifting while she was moving and singing her song LIVE, NOT FROM A PLAYBACK in absolute perfection. Till this day I have no idea how in the world was she able to pull that one off.
One of Lara greatest attributes is RESPECT -- she always shows respect to a song's composer, she shows respect to whatever orchestra is accomping her, but most of all she respects her audience and their journey with into whatever piece she is performing.................this shows how much her fans respect her in return. This is maybe the hundredth time I've watched this video and I still bawl like a child every time.
This is one of the most memorable things what artist gets from his fans ...Lara you deserve all this ❤
This is not a cover. She sings I love you and folks answers that they love her. Incredible song and singer.
Well when she goes to New York, tickets are sold in less than 24 hours usually Carnegie Hall or Beacon Theatre, last time was at the Beacon theatre , she got a 7 minutes standing ovation at the end when she sang the crowd s favorite ADAGIO in 2018
Lara is gorgeous, she is a queen. I am very happy and excited to hear the live performance of diva LARA FABIAN, whom I have admired for 26 years, at her concert in Istanbul on April 25th. A real artist doesn't just sing, he writes that song, composes it and performs it on stage. I curse the American music industry and Sony Music every day. The evil they did to him is incredible. Suan is much more talented than those portrayed as divas in America, so they blocked her way.
We want to see more Lara Fabian videos on your channel.For example ''BROKEN WOW '' :):)
The crowd is singing "we love you" and she's singing "I love you" back to them it's pretty emotional
The song is called Je t'aime, I love you. However, the people are singing on t'aime, we love you.
And here I am crying now.😢 Did you know she's going to perform a concert in Budapest the week before Dimash's? I would love to go, but unfortunately, I can only attend Dimash's concert. She is spectacular. Only the two of them can evoke such raw emotions through their voices.
This is a beautiful picture of humanity's capacity for selfless love, compassion, and care. If such love were so freely given to everyone all the time, empathetically and as robustly, so many of the world's troubles would go away. The love the audience demonstrates to her right when she needed it the most is a precious and beautiful thing to watch. It was planned by the audience and her pianist, without her knowledge as a gift of compassion to Lara who was struggling deeply with depression at that time and this is evident by her complete shock at yhe close of the intro. A person is so loved because they have demonstrated that kind of love and generosity to others. If we could all love as readily as this audience because we know another needs it, our world would be a very different place. This is a stunning moment from which we can all learn.
Her devoted fanbase when the entire audience sings to her "We love you!" It's a touching moment because of her personal sagas at that time. She is a superstar in her own right, but was betrayed when her record label felt 2 female singers from Quebec weren't viable and chose Celine Dion and dumped her. That's why she is a relative unknown in North America. Just like how Dimash today is a relative unknown. Record industry in the USA is notorious.
Absolute facts. She was blackballed. She's so talented. Happy she's getting her flowers now. She deserves it.
Her label let Lara down because Céline Dion was already there, the seat was occupied first by her :( PS: I love them both.
@@montrealsportsfan7547She deserves the world.
Song “Ti amo così” singers: Lara Fabian, Dimash and Aida Garifullina; AMAZING PERFORMANCE 🤩
I agree, I've watched that performance many times. Three amazing voices and great performers.
I love Dimash and I love Lara. She is awsome. Her presence is amazing. A song from Lara I love is You are not from here. Beautiful
👉This song Je T'aime/I love you is Lara's original song (Songwriter: Lara Fabian / Rick Allison) next to Adagio, probably her most famous and well-known song in the world.
Je t’aime means: “I love you” and the audience sings: “We love you” (On t’aime). I think every artist can only wish for fans who will stand by you and show interest when you're going through a dark time.
From what I understand, she had a difficult time because she found out that Celin Dion (management) had hindered her career in the US. Lara's fans joined forces with the pianist and sang the song for her. Have Celin Dion fans ever sang for her?
I think at that moment Lara felt that the US wasn't the center of the world and that she was going to have a great career either way.
Do Lara again, you will never regret it.
I love that the crowd sings “ON t’aime” instead of “je t’aime”; meaning “WE love you” instead of “I love you”.
Oh no!!...I guess tomorrow will be a crying day😂😂!!!...I love her!!...Thank you guys for keeping with The Goddess Lara Fabian!!!
Good to see you, Roimer! ❤️
Лара Фабиан ПРЕКРАСНА!!! Спасибо за реакцию!
❤😊oh you guys are amazing for adding this to us tomorrow! Thanks!
Unfortunately, at this time tomorrow, I will be at an anti-government demonstration in Budapest in front of the Parliament building, but it's very cool that I will be with you later in the evening. 😅 woww I'm really curious about your reactions! big hug!❤ Agnes
Thank you for the comment Agnes :)
@@throga 🥰 you are the best, ok you are young , im old, my tears came again 😂 i love you (two)
Transcendent is the right word for this incredible talent. Not just the beauty of her voice, her stage presence, the conviction and fine nuance of her story-telling, but every performance a Master Class in skill and finely honed technique. And then... aside from her artistry, her character just shines out of her. Lara genuinely has a Sweet Heart.
Most Americans are not aware of artists from other countries. There was a headline ! the best female singers in the world and it only listed 5 American singers lol
And they have a Worldcup Football, which is played in the USA only.
I know! Right?
Look I get it thst these US Reactors are products of a system where, for decades, they continually were told & believed, that their country alone was the repository of all talent, had the 'Best & Brightest' of everything - including music.
Even so, here in 2024, it is profoundly jarring to the rest of the world that so many in the US are still so jaw-dropped gobsmacked when they discover the truth.
After all, how long now have they had access to the internet to explore beyond their borders?
There is also a long-standing bias within the 'Western' Music Industry against Non-English Speaking artists / songs - still.
It is great to see this starting to break down and music as 'The Universal Language', asserting its rightful place, transcending land, cultural and language barriers.
This is not a video to comment about a performance, but to comment about humanity.
The rumor is that the audience was told that she would not be performing. Somehow, the word spread through the crowd that they would sing for her.
So knowing the difficult times she was going through, the crowd wholeheartedly sang "I love you" to her. They gave her strength to return the sentiment. You can clearly see how moved she was, and was motioning to them when she sang "I love you" in return.
Her fans have so much love and compassion for her.
Breathtaking and emotional to see what humanity, true love, and compassion looks like.
As others have expressed this performance makes for misty eyes! This I believe is her signature song and she has sung "Je t'aime" throughout her career and one of the 1st songs she had written. 6000+ fans made this performance a love fest. Her fans indeed truly love her and they have been devoted fans throughout her career. This is not the 1st time her fans rallied to her side; there a concert where she became very ill and lost her voice...she stepped out on the stage and explained because she was ill there were certain songs she would not be able to sing and thus she explained that she had backup singer ready to help her.; when the piano started playing Pas Sans Toi (Not without You) and one of her 1st song she wrote as well and her favorite...her fans spontaneously started to sing...Lara stood there fighting tear... There's another performance of Pas Sans Toi where she explains; the song was written for one person and over the years it became for another then another and so on. She has since dedicated this song to her fans and she explains she would not be where she is "not without you"!
et vous n’avez encore rien entendu
35 ans de carrière et toujours une voix et une présence incroyables
She is an angel on earth
The audience sang to her!!!! Soooo beautiful!!!!
Igor & Lara wrote "Your Love" for Dimash. His video performance of it is mind blowing. It's the one where Dimash is wearing a red suit.
YES!!! I cannot wait for this reaction. Richard, this may be a 2 tissue box reaction. I have seen this a hundred times and i still bawl! ( impatiently looks at clock...)
Broken Vow (Lara wrote the music and the lyrics (in English))) is amazing from “From Lara With Love” concert. Such an amazing song!
When she stood up and approach the audince, it was like a queen recieving the love from her people. They got they're QUEEN.
Their are very few people in the world who give so much of themselves that the fans are eager and willing to go above and beyond to give back of themselves. She is truly a genuine human who loves her fans and it shows in their response to help her through a tough time.
She sings I love you . The crowd sings We love you.
Adaggio next please ❤️ from concert Lara with love....🙌🙏
I wish they were using the live version of Lara singing the full version instead of the music video her ability to emote when live is staggering. But I would watch her just stand still she is so amazing I will take what I can get.
Johnny Halliday was a French iconic superstar singer/songwriter who often performed with Lara. He passed away in 2017 at age 74.
And he didn't write Je T'aime
@@elizabethwhite1068 He wrote(?)/sing "Que je t'aime" not the same song at all 😉
@@Miroul25
Sung with the young Jane Birkin 🇬🇧...and one of the first songs initially banned on BBC radio.🧐😋
I love Lara so much. She just makes you feel. First song I ever ran across from her was Adagio. Blew my mind!
Lara Fabian Born from a Belgian Mother and Italian Father and now living in Canada. She is such a great talent. She speaks 7 languages. I adore her ❤
I love the way the song seem to magically come out of her lips effortlessly, the tone as smooth as the finest glass, and it hits every listening ear with power - forceful yet touchingly delicate, strong yet gentle, loud yet quiet, and one is left with a heart that can't help but fall in love with Lara Fabian's wondrous voice....
How I wish I can sing like her, but I dare not try for fear that the birds around my neck of the woods will start their hibernation in the middle of spring, traumatised by my screeching I can give a banshee a run for their money...
Look "adagio" and "perdere l'amore" and "caruso" même concert de "je suis malade" 👍👍👍
The feeling and emotions it transmits are so strong that they make your skin crawl.
She’s performing this song on her current tour for the first time in 15 years
Lara's range is fantastic, her's rezonant cristal....
You have to do some reactions asap for anything from her Lara with love concert all are amazing. She dropped a new song in the past month or two. Again fantastic!!
I have seen a lot of live performance of "Je t'aime", but never this one. Thanks for the sharing, I've got tear in my eyes ! Lara's voice is always incredible, and she can convey emotions like no others female singer, in my opinion. But this dialogue with the audience ? What a touching, beautiful, intimate moment ! It's pure love . Please, react to her duet with Maurane, "Tu es mon autre", it's such a beautiful song !
Lara wrote Je t'aime, not Johnny Halliday. I have the original album the song came out on and it says Lyrics by Lara, Music by Lara and Rick Allison, her former fiancé. It's one of my favourite of hers, which I sang at an interprovincial (Quebec and Ontario) singing competition. Won Festival Best Vocal Performance with it. I call it my lucky song.
Nice reaction guys 👏, it's so hard not to cry. What a singer, amazing!. Lara and Dimash are the best singers of our time. "Ta peine", "Par Amour", "Ma Vie Dans La Tienne", "L'oubli",..., besides "je t'aime" and "je suis malade" are some of her other great songs👏 👋☺️
The title of the song is "I love you"; and the fans in the room are singing "we love you". That’s why Lara Fabian is so moved.
Great reaction. You guys really need to look at the songs from her famous concert "From Lara With Love". All the songs from that concert are perfect. Adagio, Curuso, You're Not From Here, Broken Vow, Pedere L'amore, Quedate, I Am Who I Am, I Will Love Again just to mention a few.
The song JE T AIME is one of her best, and the audience sings On t'aime that means WE LOVE YOU ... that's why she is so emotional... they give her their love and she is giving it to them such a beautiful moment full of simplicity and truth very far from what we see now... Must say French artists are often in this kind of sharing emotions...
Cannot wait for this one! Going to be amazing as always 😀
Lara and Aida will be in London on May 9th 2024:
Stjepan HAUSER premiers his Classic II album plus some Classic favourites with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall.
He will be joined by special guests Caroline Campbell, Lara Fabian, Aida Garifullina and conductor Robert Ziegler.
All that's missing is Dismah to reform their trio!
Omg, the trio with Hauser will be epic!!!!!
Love love love Aida, Lara, Hauser!!! I don't know other artists, but this three is on my top list! ...I have a long top list...there is so many good musician's ))))
I so wish I could go ! It’s going to be brilliant 🎉
Es una pena q Celine sea maravillosa como cantante ,pero le faltó la sensibilidad del ARTISTA, es lo q a LARA la enaltece, q además de ser una maravillosa cantante, es una "persona genuina" AMO A LARA!!!❤❤❤
I’m Egyptian and my French teacher in middle school forced us to memorize this song😢❤ i need to thank her truly she introduced me to Lara
Humans can be so beautiful. Why are we now in this place and time. Can't stop crying. 😭
Lara Fabian is what I call a soulful singer. The resonance of her voice is sometimes shivering. "Je T'Aime" is one of the most beautiful love songs EVER WRITTEN, it's coauthored by Lara, she's a genius as a singer and as a songwriter. "Je suis malade" is another of her gems, she's not one of the authors but definitely she's the owner cause no one can deliver that song like she does. You should react to that one too.
Lara’s a masterclass! OMG hope she surprises DQ at his concert you’re attending 👀!! Thanks.. it’s always lovely watching & learning with & from y’all! 💯♥️2u2
Wouldn’t that be incredible for everyone at the Budapest concert, I have been hoping for that ever since I heard about her concert immediately before his. I won’t be there, but I’ll be thrilled for the entire audience.
I hope they sing together there and surprise the concert!
@@KitaBelle23 that would be incredible!
She holds masterclasses in a tv-show.
Lara has that mermaid effect she attracks any audience who listen to her perform. My favorite performer
She actually wrote this song, but, the one you should watch and assess is her duet with Johnny Halliday, "Requiem pour un fou" their live performance is very powerful
*The reason people suggested this video is not for her vocals but for you to see what happened at this concert.*
One of my very favorite singers/ performers in the whole world
Saludos desde Perú me encanta sus reacciones.
Lara es la mejor, su voz y el sentimiento que trasmite diversas emociones, sólo ella y Dimach logran eso en mi. ❤❤❤
what is amazing is the song lyric says i love u and the audience and fans sing we love u ( to her). what a great audience.
In fact , The crowd changed the lyriks from "Je t'aime " meaning "I love you " to "ON t'aime " meaning "WE love you " crying out the love they have for her .❤
She was called "The Ring" not because she had a ringing tone after certain notes, it was because she could sing to a theater of 8000 without a mic and the sound and quality could be heard completely perfect throughout
No matter how manny times i ve wach this i am not bored. Love from România❤. Beautiful Lara❤. Allways happy to see how someone reacts to this❤
Hi as I said in chat before.."mademoiselle hyde "is one of her amazing performances from new wave 2016..also dimash has covered the song..and you can see dear Igor krutoy playing the piano for both..
Vous Un bonjour de la ville de Lyon (France). Cette video est un moment d une rare intensité et d émotion entre le public et une chanteuse ,qui reflète tout l amour partagé entre eux. Si vous pouviez également visionner Adagio en version live,vous pourriez vous rendre compte de toute la puissance et la technique de son chant. Merci a vous de faire connaitre une chanteuse française. J adore vos commentaires et votre humour merci a vous
Thank you for this lovely reaction to this gorgeous song. There is a a cute snippet of Dimash singing this song at Karaoke when he is quite young that I also love watching
The public is singing "we love you" thats wy she is so emotionel.
Once again her sweet genuineness brought tears to my eyes.
Queen 👸🏼
Lara Fabian is, to steal a term from someone else's term..............the Ultimate Artist - technically perfect, tonally perfect, powerful yet warm and delicate presentation............simply put she is one of a very few consumate artists. Few covers are as impactful as an original performance but her version is just that........THE standard to which all are compared -- anpther example would be the song " Caruso " which is usually covered by an operatic tenor but her version of that song is the one that comes to mind when you hear it. The best singer EVER !!
the outpour of over 50-70 thousand fans singing to her in Paris. the fans had planned it in the background to sing to her this song. you can hear one fan sing when they start " Don't sing Lara"
The thing I find so moving about this video is how much her fans love her… she was struggling at the time and almost didn’t perform that night and she was really worried about performing that song (thus her hesitation at the start) so her audience stepped up and turned it around to show how much THEY loved HER…
Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa e increíble canción e interpretación de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe! Gracias!
Lara is criminally unknown by a lot of people, I have been talking to people since the 90’s about her and lots of people were unaware of her. I’m spreading the word like it’s my job!
I've just discovered your channel and love your reactions to Lara. Your comments reflect what I'm hearing but don't know how to put into words. Thanks for finding a video of Lara actually singing Je T'aime. In the future, I highly recommend only live performances. You can already see she puts her soul into her songs and there is no better way to experience them. I recommend any performance from her "From Lara With Love" concert. Her rendition of "Caruso" is breathtaking. And she wrote "Broken Vow", another stunning song and performance .
I always get tears in my eyes by looking at this❤ it always gets me
Looking forward to many more Lara Fabian reactions from you I discovered her less than a year ago and have been playing catch up ever since. I’m planning on making a trip to Ottawa to see her in June.
“Que Date” is another spectacular performance
That woman was an awesome coach on singing tv competitions in Quebec. I’m jealous of anyone who got to learn from her.
I put my headphones on whenever I listen to Lara. Only discovered her 6 months ago and can’t get enough.😊
The best duet one could ever experience.
I am so glad, I chose to go to Budapest early to see Lara perform live. I will try to take a bit of video, and show it to you, when I see you in Budapest. Great reaction!
The audience signing
on t'aime = we love you
the song is je t'aime = I love you
I like your reactions and your chemistry, you guys are obviously friends, besides being accomplished professionals; it is always a joy to watch your content.
On the phenomenon that is Lara Fabian: all I have to say is that you are in for a treat, as you unfold this unique soul’s body of work. She is a complete artist, a wonderful human being and an inspiration to all of us. Her ability to convey and project emotion is truly second to none, while the all-encompassing power of her voice and presence leaves noone untouched. Truly the absolute greatest, IMHO.
I suggest you analyse more of her performances from her “From Lara with Love” live concert (“Adagio”, “Broken Vow”, “Love by Grace”, “You are not from here”, ”Carouso”, etc.) but you should absolutely also look further: “Tango” shows such a sensual side of her and “Mademoiselle Hyde” is a recent live where she embodies two distinct characters in one song like noone else.
In my opinion, however, the most breathtaking masterclass in singing, acting, owning the stage and honouring one of her idols, Barbra Streisand, is the “Yentl Medley” live in Montreal. Give it a try and be amazed; can’t wait to see your reaction to it.
I am so jeallous of you being able to experience all those wonderful performances for the first time :)
Thank you and keep it up!
Yes, J’taime , such an emotional and incredible experience, I am So looking forward to seeing this!!!❤
She is connected deeply to this song because she wrote it. This was in the 90s. I was a teen when she came to France, we all love her.
