Let me give you the context of this performance. This is a cover of her idol Barbra Streisand. Medley means this is a combination, here a combination of 2 songs : Papa Can You Hear Me and Piece of Sky. Yentl is the name of the 1983 musical movie starring Barbra that included these 2 songs. Yentl is a masterpiece, a musical drama movie that is one of the most personal project from Barbra Streisand. The story is based on a short story “Yentl the Yeshisha book” from Isaac Bashevis Singer and Barbra stars in this movie as a jewish girl who is secretly studying Talmud by her father (normally reserved to men) and after his death disguise herself in a man to attend rabbinical studies. And there falls in love with a male schoolmate. The 1983 movie was critically and publicly acclaimed and won several oscars including the music and soundtrack. The 2 songs here were composed by french legend Michel Legrand. It was his 3rd oscar for movie music as he had already won 2 for The Thomas Crown Affair ("The Windmills of Your Mind") and The Summer of ‘42. Lara is an absolute fan of Barbra and this cover is a tribute to her. These are 2 very difficult songs and it’s quite rare to find singers able to perform these live and chained (was Lara the only one?). I call this perf “Lara in broadway mode” and you can see here her vocal skills and her stamina but also her acting skills. Barbra said to Lara: "I don’t say this very often but you are very good". And later Barbra covered Lara’s masterpiece Broken Vow in some of her own concerts. Her parents were attending this concert, as they were celebrating their wedding’s 30th birthday, and Lara often focuses on her dad during this perf. She dedicated them later in the concert another cover she made: I will always love you.

Oh, i am glad you liked it so much ! But let me correct you: Lara is not TELLING a story, she is LIVING the story and we are drawn in like when we are attending good movies. She always impersonates the character and FEELS the emotions that the words are creating. And, as she is also exceptional in sharing these emotions around, she conveys these emotions to the audience in a very intimate and personal way. She is also unique as she is riding this fine line that allows both to live intense emotions and still deliver perfect vocals. The emotions don’t impact her vocals in her case, this is such a very rare case of voice/emotions decoupling. She once said, when she was acting as a vocal coach in a singer contest in Quebec: “How to sing intense emotions without impacting your voice? Sing the emotions in your head, feel the emotions in your heart, but keep your throat free” Apparently this seems easy for her, pfff.....

Celine Dion and her management team pressured Sony to keep Lara Fabian from being known in the United States around the time that she recorded "Lara with Love" around the year 2000. Celine was so threatened by Lara's talent that she literally got Lara cancelled in United States before she even got started here. I like you discovered Lara on a reaction video a couple years ago and I've been down the Lara Fabian Rabbit Hole ever since. I believe there is room for everybody with talent in the musical realm but what Celine Dion did in my opinion, is unforgivable. Because of Celine Dion, I missed, along with everybody else in our country, over two decades of hearing and enjoying Lara Fabian's wonderful voice and music. Remember, this was way before the internet and the control the powers that be had in the music industry! I literally threw away all my CDs and LPs of Celine Dion, I'm done. This might answer your question why you never heard of Lara Fabian till now.

A goddess!...

Absolutley beautiful!!!! If you ever get a chance ro react to kD Lang singing the song crying you wont be disaapointed. A case of two woman with different styles and both so powerful. So much talent has come before us and will come after we are long gone. Its what binds us together

There are very few of her songs that don't make me cry, she has to be the most emotional singer, she lives every song and leaves her soul on the stage.

I am a huge Streisand fan, but Lara does it better here!

Happened across your channel recently. I’m huge Lara Fabian fan and now I’m a huge fan of yours. I love your reactions - the most genuine and insightful I have heard in a long time. Bravo! And reading some of the comments about Lara’s story just infuriates me. No matter what kind of music you are into and no matter who you are in the industry - you have to give this woman mad respect for putting every ounce of herself into all her performances and having one of the fullest most brilliant voices I’ve ever heard. Now I’m going down the CVTEK/Lara Fabian rabbit hole!

My favorite female vocalist. My male fav Adam Lambert would sound sweet in a duet. Two power houses. ❤

I think it's abut time we acknowledge the fact that Lara Fabian is a much more "complete" and versatile artist than even Barbra Streisand herself. I know Streisand has a huge ego but I think she saw it too when she asked Lara if she could do a cover of Lara's Broken Vow. She never did this medley live but she said if anybody could it was Lara. Everything she does is just virtuosic and magical.

Questa un artista molto sensible con una bellissima voce e grazie mille per aver scelto questo bellissimo video

Par amour piano/voice is an emotionnal one

❤❤❤

Shout out to Eric for turning you on to Lara Fabian.

Lara was making her introduction to America. But Sony who backed Celine put up every road block possible and it worked. That is why she is not famous in America. And a good thing for Celine as Lara is a better singer and performer. Celine and her group are not as sweet as you think.

Please pronounce her name correctly: Lara instead of Laura. The first A sounds the same as the last one. And the A's in Fabian all sounds exactly like that.

She was blocked in the US by of some immature, illiterate singer and her team
