• Check out my first reaction to Lara Fabian here! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hN15YM2Jupy0Zp8.html • Check out my reaction to Forestella's version of 'Je Suis Malade' here! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nciFjNmisducgWQ.html ===== Just a quick note that I watched the after-performance many times over, it's just not included in this video

When Lara performs, every fiber of her body also tells the story. This entire concert was magic.

I love that she didn't just sing it, she performed it. She poured so much emotion into it, simply stunning.

Go back and watch her after she sings her final note. It literally takes her 20 or 30 seconds to "come out of her trance" and recognize the audience again. She's totally INTO her role as a performer on this beautiful piece. MAGNIFICENT! . . . . and as I knew it would be, your reaction to her magnificence is beyond the pale . . . exceptional grasp of what it takes for her to create this work of art for us. Blessings

Never seen a better performer in all my years. Probably never will.

This whole concert was a singer and performer's masterclass.

Lara Fabian is the Ultimate Artist............no one, no one conveys emotions as does she. She is a storyteller without equal.

“Je suis Malade”, now a french classic, was written by famous French singer & songwriter Serge Lama together with composer/singer Alice Dona in 1973. This is based on his own experience and he was the original performer, hence some lyrics are a bit male-oriented (eg my mother leaves me, whiskies, I pour my blood in your body, …). When Serge Lama had a dinner with Alice Dona and told her about his obsessive love that was leading to a road block, she came back home and composed the music in a couple of hours. The morning after, she presented him the music and he wrote the lyrics in … 20 minutes. Serge Lama was the original performer in 1973, it started to be promoted on the radio, and the song was brought to fame only when, a few months after, Dalida covered it. She was an absolute mega star in France, another emotional powerhouse, and this song resonated very much with her own feelings. Her success with this song transformed it into a french classic, and started to make it famous abroad. But it is Lara Fabian that really made this song a very popular song in many countries with her cover in the mid 90s. At that time Dalida had already passed away, but Serge Lama was (and is) still alive. Dalida and Serge were two inspirations for Lara, so she sent an audio copy to Serge of her version. She was unknown at that time in France but he was so impressed with her vocal skills and her emotions rendering that he invited her in France to sing it as a duet during his own Paris concert in January 1995. It was a triumph. So he sat in a front row seat and asked her to sing it again alone. Lara also had made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power. Serge and Lara became good friends and performed several other duets later on. The 1999 version ("From Lara with Love" Concert in Montreal) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m66DrM5luK3YpY0.html is legendary internationally and has attracted many artists to do a cover, even from non french-speaking countries. The most recent ones I am aware of are from italian singer Giulia Falcone, from the korean singer Choi Sung Hoon or from the korean band Forestella. Lara is used to perform the song very differently in each of her tour and for instance the En Toute Intimité, 2003, Paris Olympia version is even more dramatic kzfaq.info/get/bejne/id95f8eDprW3aGw.html

Dear Mr. Hairless, thank you very much for the way in which you unraveled this song, not only from a musical but also from the emotional component, not many vocal reactors do this, it is no wonder that❤ Dimash is such a fan of Lara, wish you Have a nice rest of Monday, greetings from the Netherlands ​

Thank's for your sensibility and your react about Lara ❤❤❤🫂🫂

She wrote lyrics for a song, for Dimash. Your Love. Egor composition. Is another great live performance. Please react to. Is incredible!!!!!!❤ I love your reactions and breakdowns.

Lara went through a horrendous break up with a famous French singer. He treated her badly and that is what she brings to this performance. Although he is famous he doesn’t compare in talent etc…. I am grateful that she is happily married today to someone who worships the ground she walks on. She is an incredible human being.

nicely done. Appreciated the transparency in the first moments when we see you gripped and moved. Seriously, you are such a perceptive analyst it is encouraging to see your heart truly involved.

A Lara Master Class! Yet again. 😊 Caruso next I think...

Please immerse yourself into her version of Caruso next. She is amazing! Thank you!

Truly heartbreaking but outstanding. I’m speechless. There’s not enough adjectives available to describe this truly exquisite performance. Thank you ❤ 💔

It's Lara's song now, just like SOS is Dimash's ) Her version of Caruso is actually my favorite even though I do love Luciano's so much. She is just that special, thank you, sir)

You know how to listen, you are really interested in the singer, so I really appreciate your analysis and honest reaction👍

Brilliant!!! Lara is by far the best performer and the reference for any serious vocalist to learn from. Her overall talent (technique, focus on storytelling, stage presence) and to add the cherry, beautiful. One of a kind. Thanks for your reaction good man. Wonderful observations of the whole performance. Cheers!

🇨🇦 Lara is amazing. You like her voice ? Then you must realise that she is a trained Lyric Soprano, who still trains ! My recommendation for your next reaction to Lara, is "Caruso" ! You have heard her in English and French, now hear her in Italian ! 🇨🇦

She totally emotionally blows me away! She is the lyrics in this song, taking them and making you feel it deeply. What presence she is. Wow. Love the piano and how the pianist plays it. Kudos to him! Once again a great reaction /analysis 🎵🎵👍

Stunning. The lady is an absolute Queen!! Beautiful composition/ interpretation.. The original is great and this is an absolute beauty. Lara certainly knows how to deliver a story to her audience. Natural performer.

A powerhouse and a masterclass for many singers….❤… Every song from that show is like looking little movies ….

It's so emotional, and she passes these emotions "parfaitement". I always have chills and cry during her performances. Thank you for your analysis!

Such a pleasure to listen to you reacting to my favorive artist. Great thanks for Lara. Kindly react to Broken Vow, Perdere lamore, Caruso, You are not from here.

this song, Lara continues to sing it in her concerts more than 20 years later with always the same intensity and emotion 😌

I recommend a Spanish singer, her name is Diana Navarro. She is a very versatile singer who sings different musical styles with a very particular voice and incredible melismas, she always transmits when she sings. The song is "El perdón" official video clip. Best regards

10/10 for your analysis and comparison with the original version (which is brilliant too)

I do love Lara, however I missed this performance. Goosebumps. Thank you.

This woman is amazing in many ways but to me the most impressive thing is the range of emotions she can convey with her incredible voice.

When I was learning to paint I felt like the instructor was teaching me how to see. When I listen to you I feel like I am being taught how to listen and hear. You bring new perspectives to songs I've heard a hundred times. What a treasure you are to those of us who love Lara and Dimash. I thank you for your wonderful commentaries on music.

I’ve loved Lara for years now , and I’m so happy that more people are finding and learning about her now , her emotional presentation is incredible I can’t wait to see her in Budapest in April May I recommend Broken vow and Llora ( a hard hitting video about abuse , probably better to watch it alone first ) 😢

lara ne fait jamais les choses à moitié elle interprete autant qu elle chante ...une grande artiste

Crying a river over here. Those lyrics.. Thanks SH, love your reactions

Thanks you so much for you explains i'm french i'm from France and your vidéo on Lara Fabian for the react it's so Perfect so thank you really 🙏

She is the best emotional performer ever

I've been to her concert in Autmn of '22. I drove six hours there and the same back and it was totally worth it. More than twenta years have passed since this concert, but she definitely hasn't lost anything.

I followed Serge Lama and so many French artists. The wonderful song itself has been covered a lot, but once Lara did her version, she OWNED the song, just like she did with the Italian song "Caruso", that even the great Pavarotti's previous cover paled in comparison. Lara's emotional interpretation of both songs brought them to life in a manner that even the original singers and creators of the songs could not dream to duplicate. Lara is special. No wonder Dimash and many young singers count Lara as one of their biggest idols and inspirations as they grew into their artistry.

Aww you did it!! Thank you!! 🙏❤️❤️❤️ Can't wait to watch xx

If you watch to the very end you will see how emotional it was to sing this.

C'est genial , que tu montre la diference entre l'auteur et l'interprete , tous les deux son geniales mais bon il faut dire ,que Lara , dépasse tous !!! Trop forte !!!

IMO, every performance in the Live concert "From Lara with Love 2000" is fantastic!! 1. Love by Grace 2. Perdere L’Amore 3. I will love again 4. You are not from here (lyric by Lara) 5. Je suis malade 6. I am who I am (lyric by Lara) 7. Caruso 8. Yeliel (My angel) 9. Quedate 10. Adagio (lyric by Lara) 11. Broken Vow (lyric by Lara)

Broken vow is another great song from Lare.

That reaction video you saw cut out the most important ending. But here I am to say that after finishing the song, she has her head down for about 20 seconds or less. She demonstrated that she didn't just sing, but lived the song until the end! It's incredible, you need to see it. 🙂

In my humble opinion, (one of) the best reaction and analyse of this incredible performance by the amazing artist that is Lara Fabian ! And it's a very good idea to have included some elements of the original version for comparison. Very interesting to watch your video and listen to what you say ! Thank you for this pleasant moment !

Please react to Lara Fabian - Broken Vow (live performance). I’m proud that she has Belgian roots. She is such a talented performer when she sings, just Wow!

What i love the most is perdere l'amore and broken vow, originaliteit song by her also that concert

very nice decection of her performance. she is my favorite performer what a talented women.

Thanks for this brilliant analysis of that song sung by the great Lara Fabian. You can listen to 2 italian songs that she sings with the same talent in this 1999 concert: "Caruso" by Lucio Dalla and "Perdere l'amore" by Massimo Ranieri. She is again incredible in those two songs.

Another two songs from this concert that are amazing are Broken Vow (Lara wrote the lyrics and the music) and Caruso (which you probably know).

she's such an amazing performer and what a powerful voice. Thank you for this very interesting analysis.

My suggestion for the next Lara’s performance is “Broken Vow”.

There are two other concerts after "From Lara With Love" that are special. En toute intimité at the Olympia 2003 and NUE 2001-2002 . Those three concerts are, to my mind, unmatched in quality. There are so many individual songs worthy of analysis including Parce que tu pars from the NUE concert. I'm going to see her perform in Montreal in June and I've been pleased to note from recent performances that 20+ years later, she's still a remarkable performer. There's a new song 'Ta Peine', and one from a few years ago -- during the pandemic -- 'Par Amour' (Live piano-voix). She's always best when performing live.

you should of looked to the end of her performance what her performance took Lara emotionnally she was still in that song 30 seconds after finishing it. shows how she take the role of the story and people relate to it as if her real life experience. Great talent not many on this planet have that level of details in there performances.

I get lost in your beauty. Those teary clear blue eyes, they seem to reflect your soul. You are so beautiful, so skilled. What a man you are!

Another great analysis, ...Thank you....Her performance of Caruso is also worth to look at....love your channel💖💖💖

Vous avez une excellente analyse, toutes les chansons de ce concert sont incroyables , ecoutez celui en "toute intimité" ou elle chante la même chanson mais différemment. bravo à vous

When she says at the beginging. whether in English in Japonese or in French or Italian if you put emotion into your song if you live your song everyone can understand the meaning of your song

Someone once said that songs are bigger than the people who write them, but Serge Lama is one of the exceptions. He approved Lara's interpretation and they then sang it as a duet. Thank you for the tribute.

I saw her live 3 times in Montreal Quebec Canada and she is more than amazing plus she is so nice she speaks with people after and i was pregnant and there she was rubbing my belly and talking to my baby saying ' hope it was not to loud ' lol 😅 she is a wonderful human being. Love your reactions

Thank you for this reaction and analysis of Lara emotional rendition of Je Suis Malade.I am always so impressed by her ability to not only portray emotion in a performance but to actually feel the emotion and still be able to sing at such a high level. No need to post it but you should go back to the end of the standing ovation and observe how long it takes her to recover emotionally from the song. As a performer yourself you will GREATLY admire her performance in Je t'aime Live in Paris 2001. She had just finalized a bad marriage the day before and her fans showed their love and support for her by singing the song to her and changing the chorus from I love you to we love you. You WILL get glassy eyed for this one! :)

OMG! SH - this was magnifique!!! ❤🎉 Fantastic reaction to an amazing song! Serge Lama wrote it with Alice Dona and performed it without great success. It was Dalida who made it a hit - her performance was real and raw (she later committed suicide) Thank you sir for a truly exceptional reaction! ❤

I think it’s one of the most interesting reaction I’ve ever seen on this song, very clever, and maybe a new way to listen to this song. I also love you compared to the original one... and the way you are touched by her performance. Thank you ❤ (and your french accent is good 😉).

Ouuuuh on adore Lara 🥰 in all her greatness!!!

I love Lara's version. I also love Forestella's version, which I highly recommend. Love your channel! Thanks so much for the fabulous reactions!! ✌️❤️

Мне нравится исполнение Ларой Фабиан и очень интересно видеть как вы чувствуете песню- всё написано на вашем лице💕👏👍🙏🏻

Thank You thank you you have made the end of my day with another Lara Fabian. It would be wonderful if you took a look at her duet with Johnny Hallyday- Requiem Pour Un Fou,

You completely believe that she has actually experienced this as she can embody the words of any song she sings and also physically performs. A very skilled artist indeed and as others have said this is her signature piece .Amazing and beautiful ❤ Thank you for reacting to this . I also love the Forestella version as the multiple voices is a wonderful variation so I hope you get to do that one 😊day

The truth is that I have no words to thank you for the enormous effort you put in editing your videos, and in the work of analyzing section by section each part of the song, I can only say Thank you. On the other hand, not everything is going to be compliments, I have a small detail to regret in this video, I tell you; you have chosen a video in which it is cut immediately when Lara stops singing, a real shame, because Lara's performance ends half a minute later, after a standing ovation, during which she "returns to the stage", because she was immersed in the performance she was doing for her audience. Any of Lara's interpretations that you can listen to are a true work of art. Changing concert I would suggest you to listen to her version of Madmoiselle Hyde in 2016, a composition by Igor Krutoy, with whom she collaborated very closely; it is a song that you will surely enjoy enormously from a purely musical point of view (I don't even consider Lara's vocal or interpretative issue anymore) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etuDd8ebupq3aIE.html. Anyway, perhaps as a curiosity I will leave you a link to a video made by a fan of hers in which she makes a compilation of a song of hers, sung over a quarter of a century, so you can appreciate the immense consistency of her voice, which has not lost any of its beauty and power. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebBhlqtqstLeXYE.html Again, all I can do is to add this comment and thank you again.

Lara Fabian is one of the few artists who paints with her voice. Perfectly imperfect sounds if needed, every single note is filled with emotion. Pours her soul out. There are few who literally use all kind of voices to convey message, grunts, voice breaks, even loud breathing, etc. For me Dimash is similar (who grew up admiring Lara) and Diana Ankudinova for example. All exceptional singers, but many times don't sing "clean", delibaretly . Perfectly. Instead they know the song, the message comes first. The emotion.

Lovely analysis, thank you! "Cet amour me tue" is my favorite phrase in her whole amazing performance, I love what she did with it

Well done my friend!!...The Goddess Lara Fabian is incredible!!...I cry every time I watched this video and I have seen it one million times...Thank you very much for this wonderful reaction...By the way I think it's time you react to Dimash reaching his dream of singing with his idol Lara Fabian...It was in 2019 with both singing a trio with the incredible russian soprano Aida Garifullina...The name of the song is "Ti Amo Cosi" written by the Maestro Igor Krutoy...Here is the link:....kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jseBecmiqJnQnok.htmlsi=QPvtDdPITeHKN2Gu

For completeness, you might want to watch Fabian singing Je'taime...but note the crowd sings On t'aime (we love you) The linked performance is the most stunning exchange between audience and performer I've seen. Enjoy. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7-eedqGx6mdcWw.html

Dude.... I cried too

I also love this from Lara , anyone who has gone through a break-up would find it very hard to listen to to it. Once again great watch thank you.🇬🇧

The heartbrokenness of the speaker (..the singer) of the song is so palpable......it makes me cry....

Ohhh Lara, Única, extraordinaria! 🎻🎺🎷🇪🇸 Muchas gracias por tu reacción. Tiene una canción Perdere el amore.. Puafff

I’m so glad you talk about Serge Lama. I am a big fan of both him and Lara Fabian and to me, the song has a different impact. Mr. Lama’s repertoire was often flirty and kind of playboy-ish and to hear him sing this vulnerable heart break song was surprising and effective emotionally. As you mentioned, he was great at story teller. Lara Fabian revived it so beautifully. This was an amazing show. Thank you. 🤗

I also like the duet she had with this song together with Serge Lama. She is sooo good in duets.

Thank you. This one is amazing. I couldn't even guess at how many times I have watched and listened to this performance by Lara. The song is devastating and she is completely immersed in the story she is telling. And her singing choices are amazing and perfect. After she is done, it takes her awhile to get out of character. I am so glad that you did this one. I wanted to hear a professional with your knowledgeable ears to tell us what you hear and feel. I have cried almost every time.

Es admirable que un mimo tema interpretado por dos personas suenen tan diferente y transmitan ambos tanto. Lo bello de que cada interprete es único y le pone su impronta, su emoción, su experiencia de vida, es lo que los hace únicos y diferentes. gracias por otro maravilloso video. Un abrazo de madre como siempre

It's a joy to watch you watch Lara. The expression on your face (I said it before) is so much joy to watch! Your love for music is so obvious. Thank you for another great and educational reaction! Greetings from Holland ps: Caruso, Lara Fabian same show, it's amazing.

I am very glad you found her. Canadian artists often get overshadowed by Americans but there are many who are outstanding. Unfortunately Celine Dion became established in the USA and there were some manuvers made to diminish Lara's place in that market. Also there is a difference with some of their very very amazing artists not wanting to be limited in their ability to go about in public without continual fan interaction. Roy Dupuis has discussed it and how he checks to see if his television performances are being played in a given country before he holidays there.

Sheer magic...the way she stirs up emotions from the depths of her being...so in tune with the lyrics that she becomes the story. The sheer brilliance of this woman, the Queen of Emotions. I love your reaction. ❤

I love this song very much.... So much so that I've learnt the lyrics and recorded myself singing this...

It was trough my knowledge of Dimash, I got to know Lara F. This song has become one of my favorite songs regarding an OUTSTANDING performance !! .. and I'm not surprised you got emmotional too Greatings from an old Danish Dear and Angel ❤️🇩🇰🌷

Thank you very much for the great reaction ❤ Could you please do Caruso by fabulous Lara? 😊❤

This is the first time I see someone doing both interpretation, the original from Serge Lama of his personal history, and Lara's interpretation. Thank you so much for this work!

I can see you really got the ‘feels’ from this performance. She is magnificent!! I’ll be seeing her in concert 30/4 in Budapest, then Dimash 4/5, so it will be an emotional roller coaster of a week, I can hardly wait!!! Thank you for your reaction.❤

I’m always mesmerized by Lara’s version(s). Whether it is rumour or not, and I’m uncertain whether this is the relevant performance or not, it is said that Lara’s most powerful performance of this song took place after Lara had a deeply painful breakup. I believe the best performances are those where the artist can relate to the lyrics and bring their personal experience to convey the emotions. Lara is a master of this skill. Cheers!

Sir Hairless, i'm impressed by the work you did here !!! Wow you got it ALL well. Bravo! Speechless... Thank you from France, with all my gratitude and love.

To fully appreciate her versatility. Please listen to the same song from the En toute intimité. Completely different and brilliant on its own.

Hi sir Wow really great reaction, thank you so much ❤ I love to see talented reactors who can show us new sides of all the songs we love from Lara, you have shown even new layers, thank you for that ❤ Lara has released a new song D. 27/1-2024 Here is the first TV performance from Fansk televison 1 (TF1) Lara Fabian - Ta Peine (Live at Star Academy, France, 2024) - FULL HD kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNhhgsiXqp6-dXk.html This is completely new and different but still absolutely amazing, I really love this song ❤ Lara is now 54 and can really deliver her emotions in her songs ❤ Love Lara ❤ Love from Denmark ❤

she does a song in a Paris show Je T'aime her fans show how much she is loved do not miss this one :) Sir Hairless

Your analysis of the interpretation of this song between Lara Fabian and its author Serge Lama is incredible. You really worked on your subject.

Lara’s acting and ability to bring out emotions is really great. Forestella is also great at bringing out emotions . But what I like most about Forestella is their vocal choreography and harmonies. It touches your soul. All great artists. Lara is an exceptional soloist and Forestella an exceptional quartet.

The Best!

This version cut off at the end but in the longer version as she gets a standing ovation she is visibly shaking trying to pull herself back out of the song. She completely buries herself emotionally in the song (the swinging left arm near the end) and it takes her a while to come back out. It's amazing...

Sometimes, the silence and breath are more strong than words.

Yay! So happy to see this, thanks for another enjoyable breakdown. I guess the closest someone can get to experiencing a much loved song for the first time is to see/hear it through the eyes and ears of another appreciative soul. Captivating! I agree with a couple of others here who mention the very end which seems to be missing from this version. Out of this world!
