superb version and magnificent interpretation of this song by Lara!

Lara is amazing...great reaction...thanks

Love Lara ❤ Love from Denmark ❤

Another Masterclass right there!

Easy answer for me: Fabian. Her full voice & timbre hits my neural net like velvet. She is the only soprano I've ever loved (I'm a contralto sort of gal.) I admire Streisand's technical mastery, enormously, but I've never found her voice pleasing nor her presentation of material up my alley. 🤷🏻‍♀️

HI ROSKOE , When a Huge Diva of the last thirty years takes over an iconic title from a Legend of the last fifty years it can only give a masterful performance!!!!! The Brilliant Lara Fabian not only does honor to her idol Barbra Streisand but she truly does justice to this complex song. It takes the talent and extraordinary vocal abilities of a Lara Fabian to dare to attack this "Mastodon" represented by Yentl's songs with her mind-blowing cover of "Papa can you hear me" or more than "an interpretation, the exceptional Lara offers us a moment of rare emotion. Living her songs so much, she unfolds on stage as an accomplished artist and we are in the theater with Lara in the main role playing us the theme of the song. Lara is a complete artist, as we say in English "A Performer". It is quite typical of her way of approaching her interpretations and I imagine that it is even more visible and she excels even more when she takes up the repertoire of her lifelong IDOL, the exceptional and unclassifiable BARBRA STREISAND. What is very remarkable in this specific interpretation is that at several times we do not know if it is Barbra or Lara who sings!!!!! Absolutely impressive, Lara is a singing angel. Thank you my dear Roskoe for this moment of grace. 🤩🤩🤩🗼🗼🗼🌅🌅🌅

Thanks Roskoe for your heartfelt reaction. I knew you would appreciate it ! Lara calls Barbra the Empress! This to said how much she admires Barbra. And Barbra also appreciate Lara a lot. She did cover Broken Vow (unfortunately it has not been recorded) and she was amazed by the cover Lara made of Je suis malade. She said to Lara “You are very good, and I am not used to say this type of thing very often”. I posted responses to other comments that includes some reactions of mine to some of your own words.

Hello again Roskoe! Everything you said was on point. This 27 year old Queen here is worth all the money. It is one of the most wonderful thing in life to see and hear her on stage. Not only her super beautiful and powerful voice and extremely accurate and technical singing but her living the message of the songs and acting and performing those lyrics is something you don't see done by anybody else. And it can be in english, french, spanish, italian...it doesn't matter what language. She draws you in to her inner soul while performing and you can't escape. And you don't want to. 😁 It is a great priviledge to live in same time era with Lara and hear her singing in all these decades. Thank you Roskoe for choosing this Eric's suggestion. Just great! Too bad these wonderful concert recordings doesn't exist in better quality. We can't have everything, right? 😎

Exelente reacción! Saludos desde Costa Rica! Hermosas canciones e Increíble actuacion y presentación de Lara Fabián,la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero, sólo ella se atreve a hacer estos y otros covers de alto grado de dificultad! Gracias!

Hi Roscoe, your'e spot on as always. Love for you to react to Lara's cover of Mariah's song Vision Of Love. She slays it as usual with her funky rendition.

Oh lawdy. Roskoe trying to start a diva war! Be warned, Mr. DJ, they get ugly! Seriously, I love that these songs penned by iconic songwriters Marilyn and Alan Bergam (RIP Marilyn) with music by the iconic Michel Legrand (RIP) have become classics and some amazing vocalists have covered them. Barbra brought us the stunning originals, but talent such as Lara (and Regina Vasquez, Morissette, Cynthia Erivo, Michael Crawford, etc.) have confirmed the timelessness of the material. I am certain that pleases Barbra, her chosen family (the Bergmans), and dear friend Michel.

I love both Barabara & Lara. Another singer who sings this same amazing song is Regine Velasquez. On your Barabara reaction, I gave u the name of the video but it's incorrect. I found a better one with good audio & video quality, it's on Sonny Azurin's channel called Regine Velasquez - One Night With Regine.

Babs have never sung this live mimed in video Lara is more trained!

Lara is very good, but Barbra takes it - hands down.

Wow... so Lara gets reacted to twice on the same Barbra medley?? Ok, the gloves are off!!!🤣 Seriously though...since you asked for a comparison... here's mine... First of all, let me qualify that art, in any form, is subjective. Having said that, for me, there is no comparison on this particular selection. Not speaking so much vocally as Lara does an outstanding cover of this medley vocally, but as for presentation, authenticity, and delivery, well no one could possibly top Barbra's...simply because the lyrics were written specifically for her, and she is interpreting them from her heart's own personal connections, not just performing them from memory. When Barbra made the movie Yentl she was 41 years old; she hadn't performed it live until 1994 at the age of 52 when she returned to the stage after a 27-year hiatus. In contrast, Lara was just 27 years old when she performed the medley in this video. But for me personally, it was too theatric and somewhat contrived; all that moving back and forth on the stage wasn't necessary, and I feel it detracted and distracted from the lyrics. It lacked the natural spontaneity and cathartic emotion I feel one gets from Barbra's performance. But again, that makes sense when you consider Barbra's personal history with the movie, the score, and her own father. So, Roskoe...I'm asking if you will 'please' react to my original request of this medley...the one that says "Barbra - 1994 - Anaheim - Yentl Medley" (9:43). I think the OG deserves another bow on her own iconic medley, don't you 😉?
