Lara can do live what most other superstars can only do in the studio. That is really her special strength that puts her at the top. Plus, many of the usual greats live up to the more negative connotation of the term "diva". Not so with Lara. She's just a superpowered performer with a sweetness and humility that shines every time!

Lara Fabian is ultra incredible Wow she’s brilliant. 💃🏻🙏🏼💟

Barbara Streisand never performed this song in public! J She had the comfort of a studio! So my Belgian compatriot had more courage. I really love Lara because her voice is outstanding, and she is very generous with the public. Thank you for commenting on her performance!

Even Streisand didn't sing both parts at the same time! Never, nobody! Only Lara! Lara's parents were there at this performance, it was their 30th wedding anniversary and Lara looked at her father many times when she sang...papa...!

Fantastic medley. Lara proved again she is great singer. She is fabulous. Love you reaction

I know Barbra fans LOVE Barbra and often will say "nobody" can... But imo, Lara could, and DID. Even Barbra doesn't attempt to sing this live and I don't think she's ever been a "run around the stage" kind of performer (I could be wrong about that in her younger years). All of that notwithstanding, there are so many remarkable things about this performance. It was basically note perfect and the few iffy notes she, very quickly corrected so that most people just listening for pleasure wouldn't even notice. The amount of energy it takes to sing that song standing still is a lot and she was dashing back and forth not taking from any of the vocal delivery...and in heels. But it took watching it a few times for me to actually realize something even more amazing. I missed it because when we watch musicals the actor can be running, dancing, twirling, hiking...all kinds of physical endeavours. But they're singing along to the prerecorded tracks they laid down in a studio so they never sound breathless, their voice never waiver, or jumps or changes volume or flow. Lara, wasn't signing to a track. And she managed to maintain that even volume and flow. There was no waiver in pitch or breath as she walked and ran. Pekole talk about breath support and mostly think that means the ability to sing long phrases or sustain a note for a long time. And it is. But it's also this. Holding tension and maintaining it in such a way that it also behaves like a shock absorber to provide an even, steady supply of air. Truly a feat of singing athleticism.

This was early in her career and this was a BIG concert for her in her beloved Montreal. It was a perfect time in her life to showcase her many talents.

Did you notice her doing a slow crumple/deep knee bend on the final note? That Fabian, always living dangerously. 🤣 I got choked up the first time I heard/saw this cover, which took me by complete surprise. One continuous live performance note-perfect while running all over the stage is astonishing. Great reaction. Glad it brought back warm fuzzy memories for you. 🖖🏾

She held a D5 in chest voice for 17 seconds.

Fantastic reaction Grant! Lara Fabian is so marvelous and delightful! Please continue reacting to her wonderful work! Cheers from a new subscriber in California!!

It was more like a Broadway/theatrical rendition. She was moving and acting at the same time. As for her voice and delivery, what is understood need not be discussed.

and the supreme recognition of her talent is that Barbra phones her herself to ask her if she could make a cover of one of her song which is Broken Vow

Great reaction

so true to what u said...lara is amazing...great reaction

Hey. Barbra Straisand was in thr audience. Can u imagine that? A very special moment for Lara, also because her parents were there as well, they were celebrating their 30th marriage aniversary. Thank you. Hugo from Brazil. :)

In Montreal that day Her Dather ans Mother were in attendance m Canadian and very proud of her

She nailed it ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

Amazing Lara! Who else can deliver this live, with such perfection and such storytelling skills? No one else could match Barbra, and IMHO she even toped it a bit

I cried

I know, right?!? I cry EVERY TIME I WATCH IT,

As grant tears, me also tears....

Very few singers have the stamina to sing a medley like this. So Hyang very likely would be one. While not this medley, her performance of her song 'Everyone' is astounding. If you react to it find the version w. English subs.

Barbra Streisand will always be my #1 but Lara Fabian is a close second.

Barbara Streisand was in the audience that night in Montreal.

she sings better than Barbara Streisand

Cut the BS Lara Rocks!!! Period!!!

With Lara, it's always masterpieces. There's 4 top vocalists... Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Lara Fabian. Barbara is an excellent vocalist but she's in the previous "batch".

Joe Longthorne X ADORE!

I'm not sure that B. Streisand was in the audience, but Lara met her and she tells 2 great anecdotes about it:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sL6nZ92Vx9PWmZ8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9uTY7tkpryclqs.html

Barbara Streisand could never perform like this in a middle of a concert where she’s tired after singing a lot of powerful demanding songs like Lara Fabian.

Streisand of course sang this live and put more emotion into it. Laura is good but can't touch Streisand

There is no denying Lara’s talent whatsoever but with all due respect with these songs, no comparison to Barbra Streisand. She seems like she screams this and is way too theatrical. Plus, she could not hold that last note like Barbra could. Sorry, nice try though
