More information on Lara Fabian: Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, .... In my personal opinion, she is even the best. There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register. So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence: • she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for 200+ songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer. • she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none • she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens. A quick background on her and her career: She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages. She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory. She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today. She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She had been living for years in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship. She just moved back to Italy a few months ago (temporarily?). She became very famous in Quebec and then conquered France in 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music). In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US. This concert is legendary, packed with masterpieces (covered by many great vocalists later on). But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan. She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance. She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then. Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), Linda Eder, … With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there. Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her. She is Dimash's idol: I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep. He covered many of her songs, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara. Out of my mind I can list: ○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version) ○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know") She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love". And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva). Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida. Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara. Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it. Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration: ○ Floor Jansen (Adagio), ○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime), ○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie), ○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow), ○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace), ○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Dmitri Hvorostovsky (Adagio), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Gigi de Lana (Broken Vow) ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know), ○ Il Divo (Adagio) ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow) ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Vitas (Adagio), ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Jeck (Je T’Aime), ○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio), ○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio) ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ Sevara Nazarkhan (Je t’aime) ○ .... NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version. Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature. In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular. On April and May 2023 she had again a wonderful concerts in Tbilissi, Georgia, and in Ouzbekhistan and Kazakhstan. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.

One of the greatest vocalist ever she is amazing thank you 👍.

Браво Лара👏👏🫶

Her performance of Caruso is also quite impressive.

Adagio,Broken Wow, je t'aime

Watch broken vow its very good too, lara is fantastic singer!!!

Love my lara fabian🇳🇱🇳🇱🇨🇼🇨🇼

Welcome to the best singer in the world

probably wont hear another voice like this anymore , the way music is today.....:SSS

Welcome to the world of Lara. Do this song, but a capella version. Of course, the following two are Adagio and Caruso. Live versions ofc. Thanks for the honesty and reaction. Cheers!

Welcome to the world of the best female vocalist in the world. She has has the heart and soul of an angel and of course the voice to match. 🥰🥰Hugs from Canada🇨🇦

The Queen will consider your application to offer your praise. You are hooked. Long may she reign.

My favorite vocalist of all time. Glad you loved her as well. You can pick any song from this 1999 concert, "From Lara With Love". The whole show was a legendary vocal masterclass. Try "Adagio" or "Caruso" next (same concert).

Adiago from lara same concert please lara with love❤

Lara Fabian , once again the very beautiful, very strong but velvety voice of a very beautiful singer. She always seems to sing so effortless also in the (very) high notes....An endless breath and inimitable breath control . Intensive and emotional performances , seamless connections of words and sentences.....A voice you can listen the whole day. Lara sings in 11 languages, but most of all in French , English, Italian and Spanish. Lara writes, sings and records often her own compositions in 2 or 3 different languages and switches without any effort.....A real artist, she has it all

More Lara please. Thanks

welcome to the Lara's world. Enjoy and post more Lara for our happiness

I kept waiting for you to stop and comment. Glad you didn’t. 😊

yay Lara!

Finally my friend Bruce!!...Thank you for accept our suggestions to meet The Goddess Lara Fabian!!!...I loved it!!!

More Lara❤❤❤❤

Such a powerful voice

I loved your reaction but please go back and watch to the very end-you will see how immersed in the emotion of song she was and how it takes her a few moments to compose herself again.

Salut. Lara fabien et michel sardou. sing... je vais t aimer .. deux grande voix

FYI: She’s absolutely beautiful at 53 - LARA (not Laura) Fabian (Fabyanne) with links: Lara Fabian is a Canadian (Québécoise) of Belgium birth and Italian/Franco/Flemish cultural heritage. Lara studied piano, composition, and voice at a Brussels Conservatory for a decade. Lara is a full lyric soprano with a vocal range that spans four octaves (A5, B4, BB4, C3, C5, C#5, D5, E5, EB5, F5, F#5, G5) in live performances. She is multilingual; she speaks Italian, French, Spanish, and English and has sung in 12. Lara, who describes herself as a songwriter/singer, creates a high emotional connection with the listener. She has a discography of over 400 songs, has sold over 30 million records, and plays at sold-out venues worldwide. She lives with her husband and daughter in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. A “50 at 50” - fifty live performances celebrating her 50th birthday had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 and was rescheduled as “The Best of Lara.” I’m a ‘fan’ because of her high level ‘EQ’ (emotional intelligence) expressed in the text of her songs. La raison pour laquelle je suis un « fan » de Lara Fabian est son « QE » élevé, qu’elle exprime dans le texte de ses chansons.

Keep going with Lara songs. You will never be disappointed. She writes and sings in many languages. Mega talent!! Enjoy.

Je suis malade a été écrite par Serge Lama en 1973 un chanteur compositeur Français . Lara porte la lumière du coeur dans sa voix voila pourquoi il n'est pas nécessaire de connaitre la langue , c'est le langage de l'âme qui est reconnu dans toutes ses chansons .🌻

Here is the reference version of Je suis malade by Lara Fabian: Lara Fabian - Je suis malade (From Lara with love, 2000, 1080p restored quality + subtitles): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m66DrM5luK3YpY0.htmlsi=AxtWFQBqrpM6u8ya&t=4

Lara is one of Dimash' biggest influences, you can see Dimash' styles and ways of singing here in Lara's styles and ways too. She truly is a living legend.

WOW!!! And here I though Lake Baikal(sp?) was incredible for the haunting vocals. This is a whole higher level of vocals. No wonder I keep hearing about this singer!!!

Linda reacción! Hermosa obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero! Gracias!

Her voice is unreal man

hello, Lara Fabian sings in more than 12 different languages ​​and is fluent in French, Italian, English and Spanish, her musical repertoire is very varied and covers Barbara Streisand, Whitney Houston, Maria Caray, an exceptional and authentic artist and also a source of inspiration for many young singers like dimash she takes you on these journeys of the heart, of the soul, of the spirit, through the sound of her voice for the time of a song thank you Lara

Lara Fabian the most beautiful voice of her generation. Her performing skills are masterclass and beyond. I fall in love with her every time i se her. Thank you!

❤❤❤

Felicidades....."you are not front here"....es otra maravilla de interpretacion.....

“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

Lara is one of our best female singers. She wrote "A Broken Vow" and also please watch"Tango"...a very different type. I really enjoyed reaction!😊

It does has some ok subtitles. Lara is still the best performer we ever have.

You found another vocal treasure, Bruce! As always I will recommend my two personal favorites: Caruso (a song with Italian lyrics written by Lucio Dalla about his vision of Caruso reflecting on his life and saying good bye to his wife) and Requiem pour un fou the duet with Johnny Hallyday.

Just epic performance! Amazing artist! Thanks dude !

Thanks a lot for Lara. Broken Vow is my favorive ❤

If you want to be amazed, watch Lara Fabian do "Je t'aime" live in Paris. There is no video on KZfaq like it.

Here is Dimash telling Lara he is a fan since he is a child: kzfaq.inforG6NjcAVAsM?feature=share

History of this show produced in Montréal late 90's by Sony Music and Lara Fabian's Team as a showcase for the American market.. It was supposed to be air on PBS nationally 90 minutes TV special to promote the next voice of Sony Music who had signed her for 2 albums. BUT it was only shown only on PBS New York and........... Céline Dion's Team did not liked it and put pressure on Sony Music to not promote her or else..... so it was never showed in the USA nationally .... Of this album with no radio play , also supposely blocked by Céline"s group she still sold 3 million albums and went back to Europe broken hearted... About 15 years ago Lara's Team decided to release this show on the web.... Her second album with Sony has many big songs from Lara, again never release in the USA only in Canada and Europe....bunch of A Hole...This story alone would make a great movie. She is number one in Brazil, Russia Ukraine , France, Belgium , mid-Asia and Québec Dimash is her biggest Fan since he was a kid. She sold more than 30 million albums and still touring the world, amazing woman

welcome to Lara Fabian...there is the same version with English translation that is available....yoe may want to seek that one out to get the full impact of the lyrics with the music....thanks

bonjour, Lara Fabian chante plus de 12 langue différentes et parle couramment le Français, l'italien English et l'espagnol son répertoire musical et très varier et des covers de Barbara Streisand, Whitney Houston, maria caray une artiste exceptionnel et authentique et also une source inspiration pour beaucoup de jeune chanteur comme dimash elle vous fait voler dans ces voyage du cœur, de lâme, de l'esprit, par le son de sa voix le temps d une chanson merci Lara

Hello Bruce, very good reaction! if you see another Lara Fabian, choose the song “Requiem pour un fou” in live she sings in a duet with Johnny Halliyday. (it is heavy)!

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍🇰🇿

Bruce , i just read your description of the video, and believe it or not Lara herself says exactly the same introducing the song: see this video version that include a short mini interview before the song and the minute after the performance where she has difficulties to re-emerge kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m66DrM5luK3YpY0.html

Ok you just discovered a legend, the idol of Dimash and an inspiration for Diana Ankudinova. Floor Jansen, Cakra Khan, Gabriel Henrique, Morissette Amon, … they all covered at least one of her songs. But also Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Linda Eder, Shirley Bassey… did it. I will post separate comments with more details on this song, her playlist and her background.

Man, you have to hear Adagio, Broken Vow and practically all the songs from this same concert. Phenominal.

I love watching you, watching Fabian sing 💕 it’s the power of music. This was wonderful… 🥹

Yo man...new subscriber here! Im so thankful to watch you experience Lara Fabian without pausing throughout!! That is what i want from "reaction " video's! I want to live vicariously through the reactor as they watch and listen for the first time like i did myself some time ago! Very enjoyable

Nice comments

Gracias por reaccionar a la gran Lara Fabián, te recomiendo Broken Vow... es otro nivel en verdad!! ❤

another powerful french song would be 'ne me quitte pas' by Jacques Brel...but you have to check the original lyrics because the adaptation that's been made of it in english in 'if you go away' is not as touching as the french original poem

Lara is amazing, just look at the setting, Floor recorded this song in a BARN....

🇨🇦 If you meed to know, then checkout the comments below from Eric Sicard ! He covers it all ! My recommendation now is to grab a box of tissues, and try reacting to "You're not from here" ! Good Luck !

Welcome to the world of Dimash. You will not regret.

take care, you'll fall in an other rabbit hole

Celine dion et ginette reno pour 400e du Québec

Adagio by Lady Jansen 🤘😊👍💙🇫🇮🪄🎙️🎼✨

If you teared up here, you should never react to the live version of 'Je t'aime'. It might break you. 😢
