Hello! I'm Andy - a semi-professional singer-songwriter from the UK, based in Germany. I'm a solo artist as well as vocalist of a rock band. I also teach English Language at university level, and this semester, due to covid-19 restrictions forcing an online semester on us, I did a special online version of my course "The Language of Songwriting."
Alongside a bunch of songwriting challenges, part of the final project included the option of making a reaction/review video to a song that my students particularly enjoy, discussing what elements of the song(writing) are special to them. I never give out tasks I'm not willing to do myself, so I recorded one of my own (Ghost Love Score by Nightwish, also on my channel). I put it on KZfaq for fun to see whether there was interest in this kind of video, and I was really pleasantly surprised at the positive responses! So I've gone ahead and made some more!
In contrast to the many wonderful reactors out there, I'm reviewing a song I already know well. My reactions, therefore, are not as spontaneous or sensational as those of professional reactors ;-) Would you like more? Then put those thumbs up and hit that "Subscribe" button, and comment with what you'd like to see!

Andy, first time tuning into you and I'm so glad I did. Of course, Lara is fabulous in this performance and it is so crazy that I believe more people are getting to know her now than 20 years ago when she did this. There is no question she will not be overlooked as one of the greatest singers who has entertained us anymore. Andy, it is very rare that a reactor/reviewer gets credit for a jaw dropping performance but that's exactly what you gave to us. Most of us are music lovers and what is pleasant to our ears tells us the whole story. But, you explained to us what was going on behind Lara's voice to such a degree that I appreciated the full production of the song much more than I ever have. Well done. Most of your audience will probably be aware and have heard most of the artists and their featured songs before and so no need to apologize for the interruptions. There are ways they can find original recordings and listen to them without pauses and then come back to you to find out what just happened !!!!! I will subscribe and look forward to more of your work. Get ready because you soon will be in demand and rightfully so. Many of us will have suggestions about who to react to and may I take this time to offer mine. Angelina Jordan. Thanks again, Andy.

Really enjoyed your notes on the orchestration. Fabian's effortless, masterful technique + otherworldly emotive performance skills are stunning. Quite unique in my experience. And her timbre - the only soprano who hits my aural net like liquid velvet. I'd be very interested in your notes on You're Not From Here from this same concert. It's insanely difficult vocally, but she keeps it sounding gentle and easy as pie. I'd be very curious what you make of the orchestration in that. Thanks for your review! 🖖🏽

Hello. Good job deconstructing this wonderful song by Lara. It is a different perspective from the countless reactions that exist on KZfaq for this song. There are versions of this song by some more or less well-known singers in the music scene, who are not even close to having the degree of mastery that Lara puts into her performance. Lara is in fact a unique singer in the way she sings. Greetings from Portugal.

Thank you Paulo! I have to admit I also really enjoy Dimash's and Floor's versions of the song, but I truly love Lara's performance - she's just exquisite. There are probably lots of other covers that I would not enjoy so much ;-)

👉 Lara Fabian is a wonderful world-famous singer and songwriter. She wrote the lyrics many years ago to this classical baroque melody that cannot be assigned to any particular artist with certainty. Today it is one of the most popular works of “classical music”. The composers Rick Allison, Dave Pickell and Lara Fabian arranged the piece into a pop song. She is a great role model for Dimash Kudaibergen. 🌼🇩🇪

i have listened to this version many, many rimes and have listed to your review of both the Dimash and Floor versions - i have just subscribed to your channel for this reason ........... your reviews are very technical ( i, on the other hand, am not and listen with my emotions ) and i now can see more clearly why my emotions are what they are and your diction is to my ears perfection. all that bein said i will add this opinion -- Lara has an extraordinarily pleasing and warm voice which seems to include the listener in the emotional journey she sets out on with each one she performs - i feel that journey along with her. Both Dimash and Floor are amazing singers and both have multiple slots in my many playlists bit neither takes you along with them but rather showcase their abilities ...... their voices do not have, for me anyway, the warmth of Lara. i look forward to more from you . thank you for your time

Salut Andy, Lara est de loin une des plus grandes sinon la plus grande vocaliste féminine car en plus d'avoir une exellente voix,elle chante en plusieurs langues et peu peuvent le faire à ce niveau (comprehension,parfaite prononciation des mots), "Caruso" "Perdere l'amore" en italien et "Adagio" aussi, en anglais "broken vow" "you're not from here" de ce même concert "je suis malade" en français et aussi un duo avec Johnny halidays "requiem pour un fou" au stade de france, et une autre moins connu à l'international "tu es mon autre" en concert live avec Mauranne et Lalane à la guitarre un trio sublime, en espagnol "Quedate" "llora" "sin ti etc etc . C'est un plaisir de voir des anglophones s'intérésser à cette très très grande interprète sous-estimée surtout aux USA car connu en russie,elle a avec Igor Krutoy fait un album (mademoiselle Zhivago) musique Igor et paroles Lara si je ne me trompe pas. C'est une artiste complète, chant ,composition,interprétation et çà en plusieurs langues,bonne continuation à toi,un salut du sud de la france,André

A different approach, attentive listening, what an interesting reaction. I do not know if you will eventually continue to react to Lara Fabian but I would like to hear your sharp criticisms. I am not making a list because it would be too long yet each of its interpretations is masterfully breathtaking. Take care of yourself. Dimash is vocally at the top of Mount Everest however Lara is a whole which the latter is still now devoid of.

As a lyricist, I just want to mention that Lara making scansion in five different languages requires skill, a love of words and time. I have never heard a flaw or a bad translation when she changes languages. It's quite difficult. My mother did English translations for Aznavour. A lot of poetry and effort. Thanks, Andy, for thoughtful analyses.

Und mir alles angesehen was ich finden konnte, Sie ist einfach fantastisch. Was ich schade finde immer diese vergleiche mit Celine Dion und wer besser ist. Ich habe Celine auch schon live gesehen und es war fantastisch. Ich hoffe das ich irgendwan in den Genuss komme Lara Live zu sehen. Ich hoffe sie machen noch mehr Vidios von Lara Fabian.

Salut andy, j'avais oublier de te dire que l'Adagio que Lara exécute en anglais et italien a été écrite et ré-adapter par elle même (pop-rock je pense?), la musique est de Tomaso Albinoni (Musique classique ou lyrique j'ai un doute de 1671).Pour ce qui est de la compréhension des mots quelle prononce : en français,anglais,italien, espagnol c'est du grand art (masterclass) et dans pleins d'autres (environ chanter en 12 langues) et toujours avec cette volonté de satisfaire ceux qui l'écoutent ,elle a était sous-estimée,parfois même moquer mais c'est une grande interprète,compositeur et musicienne,çà mérite le plus grand respect que l'on aime ou pas,bonne continuation à toi,André

Sarah Brightman sang "Adagio" with completely different lyrics. It's called "Anytime, Anywhere" and was released on her album "Eden" in 1998. Would love to see you react to her version. It's equally as wonderful as Lara and Dimash did. I think that's a testament to the beauty of Albinoni's original composition!
