"people just don't sing like that" - very true brother. But sorceress Queen's do. Lara casts a spell on you, sucks you in. You are mezmorized but I think you are charmed, compelled to listen. While charmed she plays around inside you head and heart for a while. with or without your permission, preparing you for what is needed and where you need to go. And the voice...oh, the voice. "people just don't sing that" - They don't. But magical Queens do....and Lara is the Queeniest, Queen, Queen, Queeny Queen, of all time...our Queen, long my she reign.

if not the greatest performance of all time then certainly on the podium. I have never seen a singer who so completely LIVES their performances as does Lara Fabian. Every song is a story and Lara not only tells the story as the composer intended but INVITES the audience to travel WITH her into the journey. For me anyway I think she is the ULTIMATE ARTIST -- her technical prowessm her tremendous range. the warmth of her tones, the clarity of her words, the natural timbre ................. all come together in a very, very rare way

Nobody died, nobody left. The affair is still ongoing and has been ongoing for 2 years, but the man comes and goes whenever he pleases, leaving her utterly distraught and sick to the core. She knows the love is killing her and says if it continues she will eventually die alone. Although he comes to her, she feels alone even when he is sleeping next to her. She feels completely used, a nobody, with nothing left of her life. I know what she is singing about because it happened to me many years ago. Even if you have never experienced it, you can get what she is singing about. This is not her song but she has totally made it hers. At the end she trembles, still in the moment for minutes afterwards. This is 'method singing' at it's best, and it hurts her deeply, you can see it. Can't say any more than that. She grips your heart when she sings this. My God.

You have to watch the version with extended end, you see her after she finishes to sing, it’s incredible how she has to collect herself back from the planet she was while she was singing, it’s like watching someone coming back to his own body from another dimension.

I listened to each of her songs over and over before I moved onto a new Lara song.

To me, this song was truly one of the best live performances by any singer I have ever witnessed. Lara is amazing with her delivery. Thanks for the reaction! There is a video worth reacting to by Lara with her audience in a Paris concert years ago. The song is 'Je t'aime' with the opposite vibe from this song (obviously from the title). It was at a time when she had a lot of personal stuff going on and was at a low point. I guess it had been known publicly. The crowd began the song for her and the back and forth is absolutely amazing. The original has over 45M views but the link below is of the same quality and has English and French subtitles which the original does not... It is well worth a reaction just as an audience-artist event like no other! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbaKh9iJxtzeg2Q.html

“Je suis Malade” 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 compose 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, but a few months after, Dalida covered it and brought it to fame. 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. They became good friends. Lara has made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power and Serge Lama adopted these in his later interpretations. This 1999 version ("From Lara with Love" Concert in Montreal) 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.

Bob, a true prodigy who was "discovered" as having the potential to be a great, great singer in the back seat of her father's car when she burst out in song and her father had to pull over to listen. This particular Concert ( 1999-2000 time period) was filled with a ton of great music and the people in the audience at the conclusion of this song stood up as one and wildly applauded Lara. I wish you would have played the video in it's entirety because while they were giving her a standing ovation Lara remained very still on stage trying to gather herself, to get herself out of the song. What a breathtaking performance by Lara and you were so right to point out the highlight of the song was not the music, nor the sad lyrics, but rather her emotional delivery and the phenomenal ending. Bob, thanks again for a terrific reaction. These great performances are starting to overwhelm you :):):) and it might not be a bad idea to throw in a dud once in a while! Only kidding :)

And i don't even understand French very much. Wife speaks it fluently so at least i've heard it spoken...But anyway, i think you are in the way that i was 25 years ago when i first got her voice into my ears. And there is no turning back. It's just impossible to not fall in love with her. You are going to see if you keep watching her live performances. Her live vocals and acting and living in her songs is just insane.

Hello my friend. Greetings from The Netherlands. I've been suffering from a Lara Fabian addiction for a while now and your reaction is in my view spot on. To cap this you should have a look at "Je t'aime" and "Parce que tu pars". The first one shows the dedication her public has for her as a person and singer and in the second song she exposes a sense of devastation when someone has taken his(her) own life. And THAT reflects back to her own 'almost'-suicide in the past.

It has been said many times but you my friend are screwed, and I can't wait to see you in awe of Lara once more.

Great reaction, Bob. All your comments were completely accurate and heartfelt. Welcome to Lara’s rabbit hole! There is no escape but it is a beautiful place to be and there are many other people to accompany you on this journey. I will post a separate comment with details on this song. I recommend you to react next to Broken Vow: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obByeqZ6nce3dWg.html this is an english song she wrote and that was covered by the greatests (Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban) or by the new generation : Morrissette Amon, Cakta Khan, Katrina Velarde, Regine Velasquez, Almira from 4th impact, Jackie Evancho, … But her original remains the best version as this is based on her own story and she once again tells yoy a story like nobody else. Then you will have many other gems awaiting you. Did you know she topped US Club Dance billboard for 58 weeks in a row? That she had sung operatic rock, destroying a 80,000 stadium? Has made the best live cover ever of Barbra’s Yentl songs? Or she has written some calm and melodious songs exposing incredible head voice runs and melismas ? That she sang La Traviatta amazingly? And she still sings amazingly today. Her concerts from last month were simply stunning. Once again, I really loved your reaction. PS: I recommend you to check the channel Lara The Ring Fabian!

Remember subs for the first two. Beautiful lyrics. Check out Macadamia's KZfaq channel for HQ versions with subs.

Ok, finally someone who gets it.. or shares my opinion. Without the overreacting Wooow and fake shock. I know Lara for say ... a while now. About 6 years ago she had a concert in my country, but we couldn't go (life gets shitty pretty often), and I will probably regret that forever. I am honestly jealous so much of the people who were lucky enough to see and listen to her live. I love how the internet sort of discovered her again and these reaction videos are blowing up in the last two years. Other musicians discovering her is such fun to observe - that initial look of recognition, of the realization of what kind of force of nature is in front of them... They know. They understand the technics and the mechanics behind the singing and this makes their admiration even more valuable. And then there are the people who just cry. Thaaat... I understand a bit too well. They aren't kidding when they say Lara is in a league of her own. They just know her. I have no idea what sort of alignment of stars and planets it took for her to become what she is, or what kind of upbringing, discipline, and training, but I am just thankful. You should hear her speak. Or watch some tv appearances with her. She is not just an insanely talented singer, she is a complete artist, a combination of calm, graceful intelligence, humility, and rich emotionality, packed into one person. And she makes it all look natural and effortless. No wonder her fans love her so much. A lot of people can sing. Some have great voices, many can control them and play with them, and some brag about their abilities, which can get annoying. A lot less actually express emotions when they sing. Very few can tell a story through a song. When this woman sing, this isn't just singing. She is channeling something, living through the story, and there isn't a moment of stepping out of it or faking it. She seems like she actually believes in everything she sings and makes it her own story. This is just amazing to observe!

I had to read that twice. You said all that perfectly. So when does your reaction channel start up? Ha I'm definitely with you on people who over-react. It just comes across as fake. If I over-react about something, it's legit. I couldn't pull off fake reactions if I tried. I guess that's why I never became an actor. Ha. Anyway, I appreciate the listen and the feedback. Thanks so much.

Great to see you have discovered Lara. She is way WAY up there with a VERY small handful of 'the best of the best' female vocalists of all time. Professional singers, of all stripes, regard each and every one of Lara's performances as Master Classes. No-one does love & loss with the nuance, sensitivity and sheer emotional power of Lara. Lara is a word painter, and master craft story-teller where, with micro-intentionality, she fully 'inhabits' the lyric, and brings her audience along with each note and - as you observed - every pause and breath between. [ * Highly recommend you see her ' Broken Vow' and also the best version ever performed, by any-one, anywhere, any time { in my humble opinion! } of ' Caruso' - and so much more. ] Lara is a great songwriter as well as vocalist, but this is her version, of another's; Serge Lama, who was, allegedly, referencing his despair at a hopeless love affair he conducted with a married woman. { So the story goes; the woman eventually did leave that marriage and they did get together, but it didn't last. Another of life's little ironies. Be careful what you wish for ! } Enjoy.

One correction about Serge Lama story: Serge and Michelle met in 1969, he wrote Je suis Malade in 1973, she shortly after broke with her husband et joined Serge, they got married in 1981 and had a son one year after and they were married until her death in 2016. So about 30 years living together.

Is that the Beyerdynamic headphones you got? If so it might besides probably growing up around the same years be another thing we have in common. Anyhow, the main thing is that I would say the same. This is the absolutely most emotional and jawdropping performance i've heard. Without a doubt! I can't even put words to it. It's like you stop breathing, your heart stops and you are totally unaware of anything else than her. I mean she is out of this world beautiful to look at and with a voice that match that appearance what can I say? I hate her! 😅 Great reaction and I agree about every word you say! Cheers!

There's a similar performance by Lara of this song with only the piano to accompany her. In that one, she sings the acapella part without even a mic, and it's amazing! I had heard Lara's recordings and wasn't that impressed. It's her live performances on You Tube that got me down the rabbit hole!

Hello again Bob ! Happy that you liked this one ... It's another masterpiece of hers. If I could only make an helpfull comment is that with Lara's videos, it's better if you rely on the fans's links rather then the often old and poor quality video that have more views on the net ( not always a warranty of quality !) There are videos of her from the begining of her career since 1986/88 and the best channels for her are : Lara The Ring Fabian, Macadamia, Lara Fabian Multimedia, Love Lara and terriblekite. With rare exceptions, it is always better choosing Live videos of hers ... She.s a unicorn for emoting the lyrics of a song . Thanks ! Subscribed twice !

There are other videos of this performance that show it all the way to the end, after the music stops, the video continues. And it shows her trying to "recover" from this performance.

C'est ppur ça que tout les artuste l'admire. Quand lara chante elle ce deconnecte de la réalité, elle est dans un nautre monde ,seule avec ça chanson . Tu ne sera jamais déçu par lara . Sache que lara chante dans 12langues différente. Sache aussi que lara chante encore est fais des concert encore en 2022. Écoute broken vow, émotion incroyable . Écoute caruso en italien ,exceptionnel.

Thanks for doing this. I've been 'with her' since the beginning and watched/listened to her evolution, as she became ever more precise in her art. Gut wrenchingly beautiful. Suggestion: if you'd stayed to the end of the video, you would have observed her returning to the present tense after inhabiting an emotionally torn character. She totally 'became' another person and had to take a few moments to re-enter. So powerful, so emotive. Agree with you about the most impactful song of hers from her vast repertoire - or anyone's. Cheers!😊

Bonjour, J'aime beaucoup votre réaction, moi qui ne me lasse pas de l'écouter. Vous l'avez vu et entendu chanter en anglais, puis en français, alors regarder là également chanter dans sa langue maternelle qui est l'italien par exemple "Perdere l'Amore" ou "Caruso" et vous atteindrez le Nirvana. Elle sublime même les chansons qu'elle n'a pas écrites. Puis côté émotion revenez au français avec son live Paris 2002 où vous découvrirez son histoire d'amour avec son public lors de l'interprétation de la chanson "Je t'aime - Live in Paris 2001". Ensuite regardez les avis des autres fans qui vous proposeront tant d'autres belles interprétations. Je vous attends sur votre chaine. A bientôt
