Ok I will try to give the full context: • Johnny : The most admired singer in France from early 60s to 2017 when he died. He is the Elvis of France, sold more than 110M records WW. His concerts were huge! To give you an idea on how big he was in the french music history, just 3 anecdotes: 1/ as a teenager, he was mentored by Edith Piaf herself ! 2/ He was the first one who gave his chance to a young guitarist and his band, as a supporting act to his concerts during his 1966 tour. Name of the band: the Jimi Hendrix Experience! 3/ When he died in 2017, there were national funerals, with hundred of bikers on the Champs-Elysees, 1 million people long the path of the funeral procession. And this song was played when the coffin penetrated in the church. Johnny was a real vocal powerhouse, and in the last night, best perf, the mics were balanced in favor of Lara: he wanted her to shine and found this gave more drama to the duet. • The song: this is an anthem song for him, that he used to sing alone. This was turned into a duet for Lara. The story of the song was created in reference to a very famous old french classic movie: Le Jour se Leve (1939) where the main character is barricaded and surrounded by the police, having killed his girlfriend. Here it becomes more a « Bonnie and Clyde » scene where both are defying the police. • The venue/event: Johnny’s concerts in Stade de France ( biggest stadium in Paris and France) in front of min 80,000. Lara was one of the surprise special guest. They were supposed to perform it 3 times in a row on September 1998 (4th, 5th and 6th). The first night on the 4th, it was deluge of rain, , the scene was outdoor, it was risky and they decided at the last minute, with the crowd in the stadium, to postpone it to Sep 11th . Johnny was devastated. The second night and the third night the weather was fine enough. The orchestra and choir setup was amazing, the choir especially which was distributed on huge stairs climbing to the sky. But the night of 11th, the rain was here again. Johnny absolutely refused to cancel this time. This is this Sep 11th show that you just watched and the rain just added some dramatic effect to the whole performance. The orchestra was located under a tent. The choir was grouped on the floor and on some balconies (not on stairs anymore obviously) • Lara: she was at the beginning of her career in France and this performance became legendary and accelerated her fame there. She was unknown in France when, in February 1998, she performed this song in duet with Johnny for Les Enfoires, the most attended France TV Show of each year. Johnny was so surprised and amazed by Lara performance that he decided to do this song again as a duet with her for the 3 big concerts a few months later. In between February and September, the album Pure from Lara had become an absolute mega hit in France, and Lara was already a star. But this live performance where she performs as a surprise guest definitely extended her fame and she got new fans across the entire country.

She is the Top Female vocaliste in the world, major star in Europe, speaks fluently 4 languages, (Italian, French, English, Spanish) also Russian and Portugese. More than 30millions album sold world wide and almost unknown in the USA, i will let others explain her story, she is now 53 yo and just finished a world Tour in 2022. You now have the Lara-virus, no vaccin, no medication,she sings from her soul to yours....

Johnny is a rock legend in France. After this performance, his wife forbids him to perform again with Lara. Hehehe 😂 ! They both are magnificent. They showed full of emotion and passion here. Your analysis is correct with French passion for love. I remember to hear Johnny singing when I was a teenager in my country, Vietnam 🇻🇳. He was my idol at that time. French music was very popular in Vietnam during the 70s as well as French movies. Most of Vietnamese know French language and culture since we were colony. Thank you for the great reaction. Big hug from VIETNAM 🇻🇳.

That's what I call an amazing performance. Lara is one of my favorite singers. Not only does she have a fantastic voice, what really sets her apart is the passion, conviction and sincerity with which she sings. Johnny held back here because he wanted Lara to shine. Eric Sicard has already given you more information about Johnny, Lara and this duet. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

Hello from Romania ,Lara is soooo amazing !! She is a real Diva for me ,her lives are allways imaculated.❤

Johnny was my favorite rock singer of all time. His characteristic and unmatched voice only improved over the years. In this duo, he did not use his full potential, I think because Lara Fabian was his guest and he wanted to highlight her (she was not yet well known in France at the time) Johnny was a singer, with his lights and shadows, but he had a big heart. You have to hear more from him, Vivre pour le meilleur is one of my favorites. He died in 2017, a few years after MJ, my favorite pop singer, leaving a great void in my soul, fortunately, at that moment Dimash appeared and filled all that hole! By the way, Lara is absolutely fabulous. Greeting from Spain!

Favolosi!

Wow but I've been waiting a long time for this reaction, finally! They are both legends in Europe.. Being at their concerts was ,,, experience of a lifetime,,, It was never, ever just a shima concert, it was always a unicum, curiosity. I can only talk about it in super latives... (I was lucky enough to meet Lara in Budapest) and after so many years, Dimash brought me the same experience,,, - surely it is no coincidence that Lara was one of his idols.

it's not a duo...it's a fusion!!😂 superb song by Johnny and Lara is simply phenomenal! Johnny's death left a big void in the hearts of many French people! Thank you very much for this reation Phil! Have a good evening !🤗

Love Lara ❤ Love from Denmark ❤

This requiem (mass) song is by Johnny Hallyday from the 1976 album Derrière l'amoure

There was nothing between them except a great respect between great professionals. Johnny invited LARA to one of his concerts at the Stade de France (unfortunately, it was raining) for this duet where they both gave everything and brought out their guts for the 85,000 people present.

Please react to more of Lara. She is so amazing and sings with so much emotion and passion! My favourite ever female singer. I recommend You're not from here, Broken Vow, Caruso, Adagio and Perdere l'amore. They are all amazing! Greetings from London 😀

2 legends (at least for french-speaking people), so an epic performance

She Is an incredeble drammatico Singer beautyful voice thank you for your reaction❤

Oh I loved your reaction yes Lara is a gem, no wonder Dimash admired her so. Jonny Haliday is also a rabbit hole of his own - unfortunately not longer around. This duet is unmatchable - a real sinful passion 😂 Love from Austria/Europe 🇦🇹

Wow! What a performance ❤

Linda reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosa e increíble canción e interpretación de Lara Fabián y Hallliday! Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero! Gracias!

Lara Fabian has the most wonderful voice of her generation. Thats my humble opinion. I cant take my eyes and ears from her. Thank you for this reaction.👍👍👍

Thank you Fil, I watch this video hundred(s) times.. and I never get bored. Love those 2 singers and the energy between Johnny and Lara is Fire. I was so sad when Johnny died. It was funny to look at your reactions to them, yes really sensual indeed and so intense and beautiful. Bye Bye! French from Canada 😊

Notre Johnny et Lara nationale 😊 I love

Whenever I hear this version of this song, I get goosebumps all over my body.

Лара Фабиан "Танго"👏👏👏👏👏👏👑👑👑👑👑🙌👍👍💟

Thank you so much for introducing us to world music that we here in the US would never know about! I am sooo loving your channel! Glad I found ya!😍

Dramatic they took pop music to another level to the opera

I would like to point out that during rehearsals Johnny Hallyday would have asked Lara Fabian to sing I would like to point out that during rehearsals Johnny Hallyday would have asked Lara Fabian to sing with all her power, he wanted her to shine because she was his guest. Confirmation from Lara Fabian herself this morning January 25, 2024 on the French channel “TF1” in the show “Bonjour la matinale” This is why Johnny Hallyday is below vocally. It was intentional on his part. Johnny Hallyday was very generous. Also note those who do not know or know very little about this singer Johnny Hallyday, he could easily rise very high too. Very big vocal power too. I wanted to provide a clarification that I had already known for a long time but now with proof for those who belittle or who do not know this great performer. I'll let you judge for yourself by listening to a few albums in their entirety: "Rivière Ouvre ton lit" from 69, "Flagrant délit" from 71, "Insolitudes" from 73, “Derrière l'amour” from 76 “Hallyday 84 Nashville en direct” "Rock'n'roll attitude" from 85, "Gang" from 86, "Cadillac" from 89, "Ça ne chanhe pas un homme" from 91, “Ce que je sais” from 98, “Sang pour sang” from 99, “A la vie à la mort” from 2002, “Ma vérité” from 2005, “L'attente” from 2012, “Rester vivant” from 2014, his last posthumous album “Mon pays c'est l'amour” from 2018. And so many other magnificent albums.. etccccc Je tiens à préciser que lors des répétitions Johnny Hallyday aurait demandé à Lara Fabian de chanter avec toute sa puissance, il souhaitait qu'elle brille car elle était son invitée. Confirmation de Lara Fabian elle-même ce matin 25 janvier 2024 sur la chaîne française "TF1"dans l'émission "Bonjour la matinale" C'est pour cela que Johnny Hallyday est en dessous vocalement. C'était volontaire de sa part. Johnny Hallyday s'est montré très généreux.. Sachez également ceux qui ne connaissent pas ou très peu ce chanteur Johnny Hallyday, il pouvait facilement monter très haut lui aussi. Très grosse puissance vocale également. Je voulais apporter une précision que je connaissais déjà depuis longtemps mais maintenant avec preuve pour ceux qui rabaissent ou qui ne connaissent pas ce grand interprète. Je vous laisse en juger par vous-même en écoutant quelques albums en intégralité: "Rivière Ouvre ton lit" de 69, "Flagrant délit" du 71, "Insolitudes" de 73, "Derrière l'amour" de 76 "Hallyday 84 Nashville en direct" "Rock'n'roll attitude" de 85, "Gang" de 86, "Cadillac" de 89, "Ça ne chanhe pas un homme" de 91, "Ce que je sais" de 98, "Sang pour sang" de 99, "A la vie à la mort" de 2002, "Ma vérité" de 2005, "L'attente" de 2012, "Rester vivant" de 2014, son dernier album posthume "Mon pays c'est l'amour" de 2018. Et tant d'autres albums magnifiques.. etccccc

Love this duet. Thank you Fil!!

Дааа, это неповторимое Бомбическое Выступление 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥, действительно Адское Зрелище Страсти между мужчиной и женщиной 💥💥💥! Они с этим справились Невероятно Круто!! 🤯🤯🤯Лара Фабиан Неподражаема Божественно Прекрасна! Для меня она яркий представитель Ангела в женском обличии, ее Внешняя Красота, прекрасная мягкая и в то же время страстная Чувственность, глубина и мудрость Души, открытое Сердце, потрясающий до боли выразительный и проникновенный Вокал, это так Все Совершенно Соткано в Единое Целое 🕊️❤️🕊️!

Listen to Lara Fabien je t.aimelive Paris incredeble

Hola, saludos desde Barcelona 👋 Lara es una de las grandes, sus canciones, su interpretación...es única! Dimash es un gran admirador de Lara, desde pequeño soño cantar algún dia con ella y finalmente lo consiguió, cantaron juntos "Ti amo cosi" a trio con Aida Garifullina, (primera soprano de la opera de Viena) bajo la batuta de Igor Krutoy Si no has reaccionado antes a Lara, te recomiendo unas cuantas del concierto "From Lara with love" Je suis malade Caruso Adagio You're not from here Broken vow

Listen to Lara Fabien je t.aime 2001 her fans take over her realy emotional thank you again for your reaction a Always very interesting and educational

Great reaction. That song was a solo for Johnny, but he change it to a duo especially for Lara in mind. Their were good friends after that, until his death.

Спасибо за реакцию Лара моя любима я певица,а ето дует с Джони супер.Фил привет из Болгарии.Тьi очень класнии реакционер

merci

Lara Fabian lives in Montreal and has her own show in french . She has been living in Canada for a while but had some issues to gain some fans in North america (USA-Canada) . At the same time , Celine Dion has always been the favorite in french and english around the world .

C était un concert de Johnny Hallyday,il avait invité Lara Fabian,ils chantent devant 80 000 personnes !

I'm glad that you love Lara Fabian! But I'm amazed that no one has mentioned the time she spent in Russian working with Igor Krutoy! She was Igor's Muse before Dimash! Igor and she collaborated and produce wonderful songs that Dimash later Covered - Mademoiselle Hyde, Know, Love of Tired Swans... and later after her performance of Tiamo Cosi with Dimash, she wrote the lyrics for a song for Dimash - she called up Igor and told him what the music should be like, and thus "Your Love" was born ... You should also check out her Album of songs called Miss Zhivago - her interpretation of Dr. Zhivago story!! She learned to speak Russian at that time and built up a very strong connection to Russia.

Thank you👍👍👍

❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lieve Fil , Eric Siccard heeft altijd geweldige info ,rest mij alleen {als Dimasch dear } super dankjewel dit is mijn lievelings lied , liefs uit Nederland

This more of a Oprah vibe

The choir is singing a Requiem. It is not dramatic, it is religious.

Johnny Hallyday is the Elvis Presley (equivalent) of France.

The greatest perfomiance for evevery French…………..

Yes, you are about the movie. As i wrote in another thread: I have few thinks to say about this video. Some people can think the gestures are exaggerated. You have to put in context. This is a live concert in a stadium with thousands of People, in a rainy day. You have to do this so anyone can get the message. About the song, it is based on a french movie from 1939. " Le jour se leve" , in english it is called " daybreak or " day rise". With famous french actor: Jean Gabin. It is a story of a guy who killed somebody because of love and now, at sun rise, the police is going to storm his apartment and kill him. In flashback , we see how the all story happended. Lara and Johnny are french incons

Johnny Hallyday populaire 🤏😂

Ciao, LARA è semplicemente fantastica e un camaleonte e può cantare di tutto e variare anche durante lo stesso concerto, se vuoi sentire i famosi respiri di cui parli ascolta la canzone CARUSO dal concerto FROM LARA WITH LOVE e usa il link fornito da ERIC SICARD è il migliore restaurato e con sottotitoli in inglese. Saluti dall'italia.

🇨🇦 LOL You are the only reactionary that has ever been embarrassed for this 'performance' !😊

Hmm so this also a murder song

Dimash was born 20 years late, otherwise he might have gotten this hug.😂

If you like amazing duets then try these : Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman : time to say goodbye; Waggaki band featuring Amy Lee : Bring me to life; Feuerschwanz featuring Fabienne Erni : Bastard von Asgard; or funnier in Franch : Serge Gainsbourg et Eddy Mitchell : vieille canaille (try with translation, mayne)

No Spice ingliche l'ara fabian extraordinary

I can hear mozart requiem in the choeur

She has bene keep in the dark to Ling She Is Better that Milva mina or Celine dion

It's a duet for the concert but otherwise he sings the song all by himself, so he says all the lyrics, there's no POV from the girl.

Lara Fabian, we give it to you ! We don't want singers who yell instead of singing, in France and Belgium. For us she is ridiculous, and makes lots of faces and mannerisms, just like Celine Dion !!

For me, the only thing that's as good as dramatic performances from exceptionally talented singers is ---Fils reactions, his raised eyebrows, his quirky comments and unpretentious mannerisms just get to me ... carry on Fil, luvya

ntm pour les 15 pause

Come on Belgium!!! Lara is not French😜

Not even a foctor he touches his pations she should marry a lower or teacher

Tell you‘re a Murican without telling. 🤦‍♂️
