the funny thing is is that she is singing: "i love you", but audience is singing "we love you"

If I remember correctly, there is a story behind this rendition of the song. Lara broke up with her boyfriend, was depressed and didn't want to sing. Her boyfriend and best friend (who plays the piano) finally convinced her to do this concert, saying that the concert would improve her mental state. The fans knew this story and thereby supported their idol - they sang not “I love you”, but “We love you”! Not Je t'aime but On t'aime. After the concert, Rick approached Lara and said, “You see. And you said that you have nothing to live for. .. Live for them, for the sake of people “... This song has such a beautiful story... Thanks for reaction ❤❤

Just saw her live 4 days ago. It's incredible how her performance and voice is still as powerful -if not more- as 20 - 30 years ago. When she sang Je suis malade, I was so overwhelmed with emotion, I couldn't clap, couldn't even move...

The audience is singing to Lara, "On t'aime," "We love you!" 💞🫂👍

That concert was the day after her divorce from a 6 year marriage. The crowd knows it, she knows that they know .Breaks me everytime

She does make the glass overflow eh! Pure émotions !

It was her first concert after a loss of a dear friend and a bad breakup with her ex. she was so depressed. But she is such a great person she won’t cancell her shows. The fans made an arrangement with the pianist that he would stop, so the audience could shout to her that She had to listen to them. The audience wanted to sing for her to support her. She sings je t’aime (i love you) and they sing back on t’aime (we love you) She is so loved in many countries because she lays all her feelings in her songs

Note that the lyrics for the chorus are "Je t'aime" (I love you) but the crowd is singing "On t'aime" (we love you)

Thank you guys, I've been crying and asmr-arting to this clip since 2008 (!) and thank you for showing my first reaction. This concert really is one of the most magical performances I've ever seen.

Thank you for your natural heart reaction

This is the perfect demonstration that music bring you so many emotions ...

we are crying, I'm still crying, I'm seeing, your wife? girlfriend?, crying... and I begin to cry with her. Lara is an angel, no doubt about it. Thanks for both to give me this reaction. Hugs from Buenos Aires... I forgot... 2:34

This is a performance you need to watch again with the French to English translation. It's even more heartrending.

i's super touching hearing the crowd singing "On T'aim" (we love you) while she sings "Je t"aime (I love you)

I was at this concert in 2001, we sang together: we love you, I love you... And for 22 years now, every day I have listened to this song of mutual love❤❤ And to know that I was able to help her a little bit during a difficult time for her warms my heart. I am a fan forever...❤❤

this concert in Paris was the most beautiful concert I have ever seen....it was....a spiritual experience !

Never seen anything like that. She is the best and her fans are the proof. great reaction.

I love her song "Si tu m'aimes".

Brave. Not afraid showing emotions. Me I couldn't keep it dry either. Much respect and love to you

WTF!!...Are you crying man??...Don't worry me too!!...Thank you guys for finally record this wonderful reaction to The Goddess Lara Fabian...It was very emotional!!

On t'aime, Lara!! ❤

Voilà le vrai concert alchimie de l'artiste et de son public un respect puissant d'un côté pour celui qui exprime son vrai visage et son vrai talent pour la musique de l'autre celui qui reçoit avec fierté et honneur d'être reconnu comme un vrai public et comme vraies fans mais surtout comme de véritables personnes et non un compte de plus pour le ticket de vente de concert.le public à su depuis le début de sa carrière que Lara était sensible, vraie, sans aucune hypocrisie et ils sont toujours là depuis le début de sa carrière, comme moi même si je ne correspond presque jamais sauf pour la vérité.bonne soirée cordialement 🙏👏👍☮️🎤🎧🎹

This is Epic and Beautiful reaction between an audience and an artist… Only few artists live to see this kind of crowd reaction…

By that time Lara was going through her toughest times that made her to almost stop singing forever! so that fans arranged this without her knowing. They did that to tell her how special she’s to them and to tell her “we’re here! you’re not alone.” I wish you reacted to the subtitled version. You would understand more. In the beginning when she’s just about to start, one in the audience shouts “Stop, don’t sing!” so the band stops for a sec (cuz they know what’s about to happen, but Lara doesn’t), So they stop and Lara stops too and that’s when the crowd starts singing. And throughout the song, she says (Je t’aime - I love you) and the crowd say (On t’aime - we love you). That’s why she feels the love and this helped her a lot to overcome her problems.

A guy who cries because of his emotions... You are a REAL MAN dude. A real human being. So proud of you both being true, expressing what you feel. The crowd was singing to her "On t'aime" which translate to "We love you". Just imagine what she must have felt !!!!! Keep being true to yourself and to each other 👍

The "Love" of her devoted fans(7000+ at this venue) would be on display in this performance. Fans contacted Lara's pianist and arranged a surprise for Lara by singing Lara's signature song to her! I've gleaned from many commenters and from dozens of other reactors that she was having professional, personal, health issues, suicidal thoughts and to top it off the French media was being tough on her. All of this is true at some point in her career but not all at this particular time. My observation: when she did her From Lara with Love concert in 1999 she looked a little fuller physically than she did in this 2001 concert; read that she had an eating disorder for nearly (I think 7 years). Bottom-line this performance did give her a boost and that life was indeed worth living! BTW, when Lara sings 'Je T'aime (I Love You)' her fans would respond with 'On T'aime (We Love You)'. Her first words when she starts to sing is "You caught me off guard"!

This whole concert was a huuuuuge lovefest between Lara and fans and she really needed it

Lara con una voz bellísima ....que pena que no la hayan dejado entrar con su música a Norteamérica....nos perdimos de mucho talento ....yo la disfruto hace como seis años cuando la descubrí ...

Beautiful Italian-Belgian-Canadian singer-actress ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I've probably watched that performance like 30 times and everytime it just rips my heart out. She's so beautiful and talented and that song is so haunting and the Paris crowd knew every word. What a moment in time.

She sings from her soul to ours, in all her songs, still today at 53yo she is the all time best female vocaliste of this century her voice still mesmerizing and she is so gorgeous. Listening to Lara and you are screwed for now and forever..Shes got you..helpless and spellbound..Amazing woman!!

The best

I do believe this is the greatest honor an artist ever got from a crowd. And for her to let the audience lead her in her own song shows the depth of her character. This is a unique moment in time to form the gold standard in popularity. This is the honor which any artist aspires to be held at. She deserves it.

Ce qui est magnifique aussi dans cette performance collective, c’est qu’à un moment où une partie des medias français reprochent à Lara Fabian de trop crier l’amour dans ses chansons, au premier degré et de facon répétitive et mielleuse, son public lui offre le cadeau de crier lui-même son refrain le plus célèbre pour permettre à sa chanteuse préférée de le murmuer à ses côtés avec delicatesse et nuances, afin en faisant ainsi mieux apparaître sa finesse et ses fragilités, de faire taire les critiques qui la méprisaient sans la connaître du haut d’un elitisme culturel jugeant a priori negasitevement toute sensiblerie perçue comme trop facile.

I cry everytime too

Thank You So Much. Two People With Big Hearts and Not Afraid To Show Your Emotions. Lara Makes Me Emotional Every Time. God Bless You Both.

I think the greatest recognition for an artist like the singers is to be taken by surprise by his audience, who sings his song for him. Here Lara Fabian has had this recognition by this public, who sings her song, who without any consultation modifies it to put in place of "I love you" vigorously sends to the Artist "We love you". At that moment no victor, however prestigious it may be, has any value. That day the artist Lara Fabian gave nothing and was only overwhelmed by the public's gift of love, for the joy she brought to them individually. To be sung in this way is the culmination of who we are.

You can't help but to tear when you listen to Lara ... 😢

Many people have forgotten how beautiful music can be and that you can also cry. I've watched your video so many times because it moves me just as much as Lara Fabian and her music. Thank you very much. Regards Hagi❤❤🤙

i only know the backstory due to other videos from this performance. Lara was so down and sad with what happend in her life, that she didnt see much hope for her future. (someone even mentioned that she was suicidal) this was a surprise from the fans for Lara because they wanted to cheer her up. They definitely succeded for sure. They sang WE LOVE YOU, while she sang I LOVE YOU and i believe at the end she mented all of them. I was so shocked to read that she was so down from what happend beforehand, that she thought of the worst..

Once again a very beautiful performance The audience sings first ""we love you"" instead of ""I love you"" The pianist begins to play on the singing of the audience; Lara allows the audience to sing the first voice and Lara sings the second voice. Lara follows whit her voice the audience ...

6 7 8 9 TIME STILL GET ALL TEARY WHEN I SEE HER LOVE FROM DENMARK

Dimash also had a MAJOR crush on Lara. He adored her voice, her musicality, her look.... He was indeed influenced by her.

LARA FABIAN THE QUEEN OF MUSIC!!!❤❤❤❤. and yes....dimash has cover nearly 10 songs of Lara fabian.

Amazing choice and how beautiful was Laura Fabian at that time ...we love her ! and she has kept her initial authenticity ...

Un moment de pur bonheur, merci à Lara Fabian et au public....

O Dio che meraviglia, che brividi, mi avete fatto piangere.

I remember this concert very well. The pianist and former boyfriend explained the situation of breaking up and ask us to sing for her, not je t’aime (i love you) but on l’aime (we love you) to her. I think the breaking u was the course why she performed so extremely good that night.

Lara Fabian est une grande Dame, qui a énormément de sensibilité. Elle peut chanter dans un "karaoké" de Bruxelles, sur une scène avec les gens qui reprennent ses chansons. J'adore la chanteuse mais j'adore aussi la personne. Merci de réagir avec tant de sincérité. Bonjour de Belgique.

In the early 2000s, Laran Fabian was very, very popular in Brazil, at the time she was much more famous and loved in Brazil than in the rest of the world. She was always here appearing on TV shows and doing great gigs, sold millions and millions of CDs even recorded in Portuguese Hi, I'm missing a reaction to Gabriel, I remember your reaction right after the America Got Talent presentation talking about them you saw yesterday, how did they remove that singer to leave people who performed yesterday? if it weren't for the group dancing with their hands, it would be a fiasco there was even a red button, twice Please react to Gabriel - FIDELIDADE

Lara a világ legszebb és legjobb énekes nője!!!

audience : on t'aime (we love you) lara : je t'aime (i love you)

Lara Fabián es la artista europea con más logros artísticamente internacional , a trabajado y colaborado con los artistas más importante en el mundo y hoy sigue siendo tan hermosa y con una increíble voz

Any song from Lara is so special and different, she as written more than 200 of them , she's not human, she is a magnificent machine from other space.

fenomenalna reakcija voditelja kakva emocija svaka cast na iskrenim rekcijama bravo bravo

What a beautiful moment in time...and she absolutly deserves it..She is such a wonderful artis and human. My Nr. 1 Thank you guys❤❤

Cette vidéo c'est tout l'amour que les fans portent a Lara. Peu d'artistes peuvent dire que leurs fans ont chanter pour eux lors d'un concert et pas seulement le refrain

The song is called Je t'aime but the crowd was singing to Lara On t'aime which me We love you.

THIS IS WHY....DIMASH adore Lara Fabian, and I am here still in tears OMG...I got so emotional 😅😅😅😅😅😅❤

Lara is incredible.. for me she is also my favorite of the divas of music... she should have had more recognition but you already know how the industry works... greetings and hugs to you from Chile 🇨🇱

Thank you, I didn't know this version. I am French and I remember this song was a huge (HUUUGE !) success back in... 1996! In this video, she was taken by surprise when the audience spontaneously started to sing in her place, and she's receiving so much love from them, that's why she's got so emotional. They are singing to her "On t'aime" ("We love you"), and she answers to them "Je t'aime" ("I love you"), which makes this improvisation a magical moment. Quick translation of the lyrics: "I love you, I love you Like a fool, like a soldier, like a movie star I love you, I love you Like a wolf, like a king, like a man that I am not See, that's how I love you"

so emotional..I too get tear in the eye with this.. just so beautiful

Lara is just one of the greatest performers in the world

saya nonoton video ini beberapa tahun yang lalu ....keren dan romantis

Very beautiful and emotional atmosphere, incredible performance ❤

I love so much lara fabian........she is the best for me, .......

So beautiful reaction from you two...... So beautiful an true❤❤

She sings "je t'aime" (I love you) and her fans sing "on t'aime" (WE love you) simultaneously. Splendid.

I recommend this video to you two about 4 or 5 months ago. I bet it will make you cry even if you don't totally understand all the lyrics and you guys did cry 😂

Exelente reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa canción y bellísimo homenaje de sus fans a Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo! Gracias!

I love Lara ❤ Kisses from Italy 😘😘😘

les americains ou autre depui deux ou trois sont en train de ce prendre dans la gueule la puissance de la musique francaise!!!!😘😘😘

She could have outpowered the crowd with her mic but she Chose to sing around delicately.

You guys are like me, I always have tars. again and again, when listen this song, this great emotion

I agree with you. There are lots Lara's influence in Dimash's songs. I know Lara Fabian because of Dimash. He told in a interview

What a great and emotional performance from an amazing and beautiful singer. Love reaction from both of you, thank you.

I don't know if you understood, but the public changed the words, they say we love you when talking about Lara Fabien.

Around that time she was here in the Netherlands, in Hilversum, at Edisons prices for music and she had to do 3 times that song because she was going through hard times, but us at the audience helped her then as well. She have been even on a Dutch school btw, and i saw her a few years ago again with her second performance in the Netherlands (here in Amsterdam)

I agree 💯 percentage Taylor is a queen 😍😍

"How's that for audience participation?" ❤❤❤ Some of the comments will tell you about why they were showing her so much support. Pure love. Pure love.

First of all I wanted to thank you for your great and so quick response yesterday , for giving back the " Like " . Sorry I dont know your names to both of you . Who is Killer ...???? 😅😅😅😅 Well , I didn't have time before (as being very involved in the official Gabriel Henrique's Fan Club with the AGT.... ) to come check your Reactions to Lara Fabian who is my Long Life Time Idol .....and I will tell you something AMAZING about this Special Performance of Lara singing " JE T AIME " ......!!!!! SO SO HAPPY to see you react to Lara Fabian who has been my idol since her debut and whom I have seen dozens of times on stage. In my opinion, Lara has been the Greatest Singer for many, many years. A voice of velvet, Angelic, Soft and Powerful at the same time. Lara speaks a dozen foreign languages, four of which are fluent: French, her mother tongue, although born in Belgium, Italian, by her Sicilian mother, English and Spanish. This Brilliant polyglot can therefore speak and touch the entire planet thanks to her exceptional mastery of foreign languages. In addition to being an Exceptional Artist and she is also endowed with magnificent human qualities, gentle, caring, loving sharing, always ready to lend her magnificent voice for real or virtual duets. ❤❤💙💙💛💛💚💚 We come to the AMAZING THING I mentionned ... In fact this video dates from December 2001, filmed partly at the Zenith in Paris and at the National Forest in Brussels, and I can tell you because I'm not ready to forget That day !!! 🏆💙💙👋👋👋BECAUSE I WAS THERE !!!!!!! First going to see Lara is always an event in itself, then her Fan Club was waiting for us around distributing photocopies of the song "Je T'aime" and quickly briefing us on what we had to do as soon as the title would happen , all in collusion with her Brilliant Pianist , Pierre Grimard. Lara had given 3 concerts that year, and I had been there on December 18, 2001. And I remember that that evening, precisely, she had paid tribute to Gilbert Bécaud, ( a very Famous French Artist/Singer ) who had left us the same day. Moving evening at all levels with of course this Giant and more or less improvised " HUGE CHOIR " of all the public on " JE T AIME " ...... We were all sceaming " ON T AIME " ( WE LOVE YOU ) while she was saying / singing " JE T AIME " ( I LOVE YOU ) .....Still have goosebumps ..... But I also want to mention another beautiful song on that evening, wher we all continue " The Choir " , its " PAS SANS TOI ", which is not a viral video like the other, but which made us cry and we had trouble " drying our tears..." ( because that particular song says " Sèche tes larmes " which means " Dry your Tears " ... I can assure you we were all crying, because we fans of our Lara, we knew very well what difficult times she was going through.....🙏❤🙏 Unforgettable Moments, deep in my heart and so happy that planet YT dedicated it and that we share this Magnificent and Exceptional memory with the World....🤩👋👋💦👍👍 So Happy that this magical moment is more than a memorable memory it is now shared by millions of people around the world. And I'm so delighted, because what we had experienced that evening was indescribable, joy, emotion, tears, excitement and above all wonder.... 🙏🏆💙💙👋👋👋 I will never forget it, the planet You Tube, today is moved by it and consecrates it and I am so happy and so proud to say that I was there ... 🙏🏆💙💙👋👋👋 A real Happiness and Pride mixed ...... 🤩💙💚 Here is my Friends , Lara has always been my Idol and I consider her the Greatest Vocalist of recent years, right next to Barbra/Whitney/Mariah/Céline. I have a playlist to offer you whenever you want.💛💙 I would be happy to see you react to so many songs, but the 1st of the long list that I could offer you on your dedicated space would be:💎💎💎🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵 "Broken Vows", a real little Masterpiece, music and Lyrics all together. I didnt check if you have already reacted to it . There is also, of the same era , " You're not from Here " , another Masterpiece ..... Well I'll have to stop because when it comes to Lara I just cannot stop talking on and on... Im so Happy for you Beautiful reaction and when I have more time I'll go and check your other reactions to her. Thanks again for your help yesterday and see you both very soon !!!! ❤🙏❤ ❤❤💙💙💛💛💚💚

Wow, this video is beautiful, seeing a beautiful artist like Lara get emotional is incredible, every time I listen to her I get emotional, her voice reaches the bottom of my heart, for me she is the best, she is my idol. 👏👏👏👏👏

I love this song....never gets tired of listening to it...ah..shoot..suddenly there's dust in my eyes...🥲

The crowd singing "on t'aime" to her....... ♥

The fans knew that Lara was going through a very difficult time in her life, so they contacted the pianist and arranged to start the song and they stunned her. A piece of information, Lara was engaged to the composer of the music from Titanic , from what I understand she found out that he had cheated on her, they had composed the music together for broken vow, but she was able to quickly put her emotional words to the songs. Since she broke off the relationship, her American career was tremendously affected, she would heave been the one singing the theme from Titanic, but Walter had cheated. Ironically Dimash is currently working with Walter and possibly David Foster in Los Angeles. I would suggest Ti Amo Cosi, Lara, Aida Garifullina and Dimash, a celebration of Igor’s 65 birthday, beautiful performance.

I THINK YOU ARE BOTH SPECTACULAR!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I LOVE AND RESPECT YOUR TEARS, OF BOTH OF YOU, DEAR ANGELS!!! GREETINGS FROM LIMA PERU FOR BOTH OF YOUM AND KEEP SENDING TUIS GREAT MATERIAL....PLEASE COMMENT GABLIELA BY AMIRA

You are so wonderfull and your tears are so emmotional ,listen Reqwuim duo Lara Fabian with Jhonny Holiday and theirs a song Adagio you can't beleive it she have a powerful voice like Celine Dion❤

Beautiful couple , superb reaction and so real, I felt the same couples years ago when I listened first 10 times, total 50 during the time… 😂thank you guys, like and subscribe instantly for this amazing reaction….

Lara had just had a very tough breakup days before the concert, the audience previously spoke with the pianist to give him this surprise, that's how they start singing we love you, it's exciting

The crowd sings On t'aime means we love you like you are, we love you like that.

THIS IS TRUE LOVE

Lara is one of the greatest! The backstory to this performance has already been mentioned in the comments. It was such a wonderful gesture from her fans. I am glad that you watched this special performance of "Je t'aime".

No greater accolade than THIS! ❤

She is the best , there is no female artist that comes close to her , in voice or class , those that have seen her perform you have been blessed ❤

Yes, Lara is Dimash's muse since he was a child. Over the years they have collaborated at 2 concerts and Dimash has performed two of Lara's song where she wrote the lyrics: Adagio and Mademoiselle Hyde.

You're right, Dimash has considered Lara an idol since he was a child. He has declared that his dream was to sing with her, and he fulfilled it for an event in honor of the birthday of maestro Igor Krutoy in the song TI AMO COSI, together with Lara and Aida Garifulina, one of the best Russian opera singers.

Muy bonita su reacción y video, de acuerdo totalmente con lo que ustedes lo dicen ella, claramente está en otro nivel, no hay palabras para describir tanto talento.

So emotional!❤❤❤

Great to see you reacting to Lara again

Great emotive reactions! You mentioned references to Dimash hability to tell a story. In fact, Lara was Dimash idol during his youth. He learned from her how to tell a story, how to give emotions, how to control a stage, a crowd…Krutoy was instrumental to brings these two artists together because he was Lara music director when she performed many times in Moscow…
