Glad you guys are enjoying this one, as much as I did! I would like to react to a live performance for the next reaction, let me know which one will blow me away!

New Mylene fan is born:)

Peut être qu'un jour le monde entier se rendra compte de l’immense artiste que nous avons en france depuis bientôt 40 ans...

Mylène farmer en France c'est une véritable icône ça fait 30 ans qu 'elle suscite autant de ferveur auprès de son public elle est mystérieuse apparaît peu dans les médias le peu d'interview qu'elle donne sont des évènements ces concerts sont complets au bout d'une heure et encore.. elle est une des rares chanteuse française à avoir rempli le stade de France ,ces concerts sont grandioses travailler réfléchies pensé dans le moindre détail il faut le voir c'est magique ..bref c'est une belle et grande artiste.

Mylène Farmer has one of the best discographies and one of the best videographies in the whole music industry. I have so much respect for her.

I love Mylène Farmer. ❤️ She has a loyal fanbase in México. Her last concert was screened all across the country by Cinepolis last November. 🇲🇽🇲🇽

Please more reacts on this incredible frech artist, she's just perfect

In my opinion, I think "Sans logique" is one of her best songs and the best video.

I'm from the USA where she's completely unknown. I learned of her thanks to following her protege, Alizee.

One of the best songs is “Je te rends ton amour “. Amazing beat. Video is very hard to find. It was censored.

The end of the clip instead of the happiness of Freedom is that they realize that there's no way to go but to walk into the snow fields, desolation and probably death.

Mylène est la meilleure artiste française j’ai vu tout ses shows elle est juste incroyable son univers est magnifique ✨

She deserved to be seen ! She is truelly talented and put all she got into her art.

One word : thanks! America got Madonna Australia got Kylie and we got Mylène ^^

Imagine this music is paired with deep lyrics , this is a gift from the french culture.

Thanks Dereck for reacting to Mylene, as far as I know you are the only person on KZfaq to do this which makes me very happy. I am from the UK and whilst I only understand a little French I have watched all of Mylene's concert DVD's and have been mesmerised by them all. I have never seen an artiste generate so many emotions from her audience from joy to tears, in fact how many concerts have you watched where even the men are crying.You my friend are in for an unforgettable journey into the Mylene Farmer universe.

Now that Mylène has captivated you all her concert openings are reaction material.

I advise you to watch two clips: "Libertine" and "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces". It's a real film in two parts ("Libertine": part I and "Pourvu": part II) After that I think that what she did until the album Innamoramento is perfect (and : "California" is directed by Abel Ferrara; "xxl" by Marcus Niespel)

Hello, si tu continue à étudier les titres de Mylène Farmer, tu vas avoir du JOB 😉..... Du clip à la scène il y a matière. Elle est un univers à elle seule. 🥰😍

Yaaaas!!! I discovered Mylene Farmer Years ago thanks to a Monica Naranjo forum, years later I have even travel to France to see her in concert. She is major pop loving legend of that European country.

Mylene at her best!!! She's already a legend, literally no one comrs even near her!!!

You prob know this since I’m assuming you gathered info, but this song was the most air played song in France in 1991. Being no1 for 9 weeks straight and in the top 10 for the following 16, meaning 25 weeks in the top 10 alone. It was popular all over Europe, even in my country that has nothing to do with France and it’s really small, had this song come from the radios. And it still does. Personally, if I had to choose a favourite, it would be this song. I’m sure it’s the same for many other fans, the lyrics of this song are so beautiful yet sad. You can see her use of poems clearly. Also it’s funny how you wouldn’t think the lyrics are this sad just by listening to the melody alone. Here’s a translation of them (it’s not mine, I found this in a comment section and I think it’s the most beautiful one I’ve seen so far): “Swimming in the troubled waters, I look to tomorrow, to wait here my end. Floating in the heavy air, with nothing and no one to give my hand to. If I shall fall from ahigh, may my descent be slow. I’ve only found rest in indifference. Even then, I wish I could my innocence again, but nothing has meaning anymore, and nothing is going well. Everything is chaos, set in tune. All my ideals, are words rendered useless. I look for a soul who could help me, but I am part of a disenchanted generation, disenchanted. Who could prevent me to hear it all, when their reasoning falls in shambles. To whose breast should I bind loyalty to, to cradle us in the womb. If death was a mystery, life would have no tenderness. If the sky has a hell, then the sky can very well wait for me. Tell me, in these opposite winds, how can I do it? Nothing has meaning anymore and, nothing is going well. Everything is chaos....”

You really should react on her opening concerts especially in 2006 and 2019 !

Disenchanted is the hymn of Mylene Farmer! As soon as she plays those first notes in concert, something incredible happens in the room. I can not describe. I have chills. look at this song in the Timeless 2013 concert, easy to find, for me one of the best shows ... this clip is made by Laurent Boutonnat his accomplice whose each clip is extraordinary. Mylene Famer is rare even in France. she is an amazing artist who should have the aura of Madonna or others

"Désenchantée" is Mylene's hymn, this song has been her greatest success ever and it fits well to our current world and the song has become the hymn of a new generation

You should also react to 'Moi... Lolita' by Alizée. Mylene wrote it and Alizée just fit so perfectly in it. A French classic of the 2000!

This song and video defined the 90's for me, she truly is one of the greatest artists of all time.

Laurent Boutonnat's passion is making movies with Mylene. So he composed songs to "use" Mylene. He did it like a worker. What an excellent worker! Piano by Bruno Fontaine (from Mylène's Tour 1989) because Laurent Boutonnat couldn't find the good sound himself with his keyboards. 💜💐🌠

Merci pour ta réaction

Thanks Dereck for reviewing my youth through your reactions! Mylène is a true pro, this video was shot in Hungary and like most of her videos , truly epic..

Dude your reactions are so fun to watch haha. I'm frenchspeaking, a drummer and I've loved and listened to this song for years and years it's fun to see you react the way you do, epic. kuddos and blessings

Hi Derek! Desenchantee is a hit at all times and in many countries! This song is one of the most popular in Russia. You're right, the clip is very cinematic. Many of Mylene Farmer's early career music videos were like this. This is microfilm! You should pay attention to Libertine and Pourvu qu'elles soient douces. These two music videos are United by one story. And music keeps me going for 20 years!) Thank You Derek!))

Mylène is amazing... I am blessed, ad a French-Canadian, to have grown up and had her music as part of the soundtrack of my life. This song came out when I was graduating from high school.

Mylene Farmer es la mejor, no tiene comparación 💕📣🇫🇷🇲🇽

Mylène is my favorite singer of all time, she is an icon in France and disenchanted is her flagship music, the most famous of all in the country. Listen to it live (2009 live version, the best) it's just amazing. You do a good job I love your videos!

Love Myléne Farmer! Thanks for posting this, a song of my childhood. Myléne Farmer's videos are marvellous. You have many more songs and videos to explore. Rêver, California, Mon Ange diabolique, Libertine, Sans Contrefaçon, Fuck them all, Ainsi sois je, and more and more. Thank you! 😍

Thank you! You made me rediscover Mylene Farmer and French music. So cool!

I am so glad you discovered Myléne. She's one of my all-time favorite singers, although I barely understand French (I am currently studying it). Greetings from COL

Glad to see you're continuing down this rabbit hole. The wonderland of Mylène is worth discovering at length, for both the music and the imagery. You'll enjoy this trip. And so will we!

I’m a bit late but I just found out your video. Just a remark about the music video, and the ending : yes they are free, but are now lost in a snowy desert with nothing in the distance. The successful rebellion gave them high hopes and those hopes died when realization kicked in : only death awaits them. Which ties in with the title of the song - Disillusioned - and the lyrics : the world has gone to shit, youth has nothing to look forward to, nothing to hold on to, all they/we can do is going through the motions until the bitter end.

This song is the most iconic song of Mylene, a real hymn. This is the song in which people danse and sing the most. À real moment of sharing, intense.

Live performance of "C'est une belle journee" - live timeless 2013 - With the robots , very fun

Most of her music videos are cinematic quality like this. She is an incredible artist.

I am so happy to see you discovering and sharing all the great vibes french music has brought. I can definitely help for more of them if needed :)) Love

Fan de Mylène pour toujours ❤️😍👍

You are hooked for life now :) Her backlog is absolute gold!

My favorite Mylene Farmer song! I listen to this on rotation all the time! All different mixes of it!!!!

Love your Channel and i love the way you analyse and revisit big French hits that we took for granted. You give a fresh new look at these songs.

As a french fan who's been mocked for it it really feels good to see some international love for this amazing artist, thanks for the video and thanks for this comment section

And you can't imagine the effect in concert in Paris! That's not just amazing, that's more than!

The come back of Mylène ! I love her and your video too ! It’s such a pleasure that a english guy talk about french music. Thank you ! ❤️

So good!!! Une de mes chansons Prefere francophone de tout les temps ;) Love your reactions !! keep em coming

Yes Dereck, that music video is indeed freakin amazing. As a matter of fact it's my absolute favorite no 1 video from the MTV-era in the ninetees. Check out her later video "A L'Ombre" from 2012. Amazing video, as well. Mylene is the queen of pop.

Elle est merveilleuse et une reine de pop!

Love your depth and sensitivity around music, lyrics, cinematics etc. I am French so I grew up with all these songs you review🧡

Thanks a lot i love her as Madonna since 80s. Thank you so much for you chanel 💟💟💟

This is the first song I've been able to sing on pitch. I loved it so much.

Look at the Live 2019 performance of this song! :) I was there and it was remarkable.

Merci KZfaq de m'avoir conseillé cette vidéo ! C'est tellement chouette de voir les réactions à une chanson qui me donne toujours autant de frissons.

Laurent Boutonnat composed the music AND directed the video, like many other Farmer songs. Great collaboration !

Mylene Farmer is an amazing artist. Intemporal yet ahead of her time. As a young guy raised with Ra, R&B and Reggae, I still couldn't help but rock her sounds. And who else could film a Wuxia-style clip with none other than Ching Siu-Tung? She's a legend.

You must see Libertine and immediately Pourvu qu'elles soient douces. You will be delighted! This is the whole story! This is love from the first notes! Moreover, PQSD needs to be fixed by watching a hot live 2009! Adore Mylène ❤️❤️❤️

Glad you like French songs bro, it's juste fun to see you commenting them with such passion. I'm looking forward your next vidéos. Peace.

This song was so popular all over Europe. And in the 2000s the belgian artist Kate Ryan made a dance cover of it and it became popular once again. I'm a 27 years old Swedish person and nobody I know cannot sing along to this song even though barely anyone speaks french. Mylène is an icon

Mylene Farmer es una artista en toda la extensión de la palabra. Ojalá continues reaccionando a sus vídeos. Los lives son lo mejor. From México.

the song of a whole generation in france

OMG a french singer... Well I'm proud thanks dude 👍👍👍👍

Oh, I remember hearing this song, I was fascinated by the sound and ,although I don't speak french , I still can sing along the chorus , I mean , 30 years have passed, I was 16 then ☺️

@Dereck Reacts Hello Dereck ! There's a problem with the video you've chosen. There's no black screen in the official video. A lot of the plot is missing. You didn't choose the right video. The official link is this one : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNGZrLph29fFpGw.html Like you've probably read, "Désenchantée" is her absolute hymn ! There can be no Mylène's concert without this song. Everyone is waiting for it and the crowd goes mad each time she sings it. I think the most memorable live of this song is this one (Stade de France concert - 2009) : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oN-Kf5apyL_Hfok.html even if I love the Mylènium tour version better for the memories of it. Hope you will react to other videos of her ! (Choosing the right link on her KZfaq channel ^^). I highly recommend "Je te rends ton amour", "Sans logique", "Sans contrefaçon", "California" and "Beyond my control" to start ! ("Je te rends ton amour" is the only one that is not on KZfaq but you can watch it on dailymotion here : www.dailymotion.com/video/x5hnzc6 )

Mylène Farmer is the biggest artist in France. I saw her one year ago during her show and it was the most beautiful moment of my life. I’ve never seen a show like that before.

Hello from France ! Content que tu aies découvert cette artiste incroyable ! :)

So happy you reacted to this song. One of my all time favourites!

Милен Фармер потрясающая певица и актриса.

I really appreciate your reactions. My favorite song of Mylene is INNAMORAMENTO (Mylenium Tour 1999). Then « C’est une belle journée », « je laisse le vent emporter tout », « Ainsi dois-je », « je te rends mon amour ». And of course « Sans Contrefaçon » , « Libertine », and « Pourvu qu’elles soient douces ».

Love your reactions Derek

I looooooooove this woman! Such an artist! France’s gem. ”L’Autre” album was the second vinyl ever bought. First one was a-ha.

Her music video clips are just masterpieces ✨

Ok, listen. If you enjoyed these older song of her with this quality of video, you must watchi Libertine and Pourvu Quelles Soient Douces (in that order, the second is a sequel of the first). Sans Contrefacon is also an excellent song with cool video. Regarding a live version of this, I like the one in 2009, in the Stade de France (nº5 on tour). Great reaction. If you go deeper on the lyrics of each song you will also be delighted ;)

She worked with Laurent Boutonnat for many many many years. He did the sounds and the music videos of almost all of her discographie.

Wait to see the others clip from this period, everything was epic ! Mylene is a phenomenon she create a whole artistic universe that was quite fascinating. I was a kid when it came out and I'm still blown away by her work as an artist !

je suis un fan français et j'adore tes videos , je partage en france ^^

What a powerful song. Absolutely amazing!

Désenchantée version live concert timeless est juste magnifique. Merci pour ce partage Mylęne est la plus grande chanteuse française . Ses concerts sont magnifiques et géants.

Thanks again for this great reaction and insight ! She is known to have shot so memorable videos, "Libertine", "Tristana", "Sans Logique" (which is by far the most visually beautiful, inspired by Goya paintings)... Welcome into miss Farmer's world. 30 years later and she is still iconic. If you want to react to live performances, you have all the choices you want ! Try the opening of the Mylenium Tour, l'ame stram gram at the Stade de France, sans contrefacon live 89... I could go on and on...😁

Mylene and Madonna on one day, wow. I think you know now why Mylene is the Goddess. And this was just the beginning..

If you want to see a live version, the one from 1996 is i think the best. The concert is the live à Bercy.

hello look at his last concert .. just sublime the arrival on stage and the disenchanted song put forward .. mylene on flying stages. just sublime .. look at this concert in june 2019. you will not be on it i was there .. it was magnificent. I love mylene farmer for 30 years

I got to know Desenchantee thanks to Kate Ryan's 2002 dance-pop cover of the song. It was such a huge hit in Belgium. It was really perfect for all of us moody teenagers at the moment.

The best french artist 😍 amazing

Mylene 💕💕💕💕💕 thanks Dereck. I hope you can react to live videos, an example: "l'ame stram Gram" in 2009 or "rever" 2013 are epic!

Do you want to see a live? Get up early. She performs very little, divulges herself very little and each of her concerts is a show that everyone is tearing up in a few minutes. Mylene is mystic

AMAZING and TIMELESS song ... vidéo perfect .. she realy put exactely what human is : Désenchanté .. thousand thanks Dereck .. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😘

This is a really good video ^^ I think you should make a video on his song "Je te rend ton amour" 😁 the song is amazing and the video clip is my favorite ❤️

Very glad that you enjoy her music and her universe, cocorico like we would say in French. You should listen to her album Anamorphose and especially California and l'Instant X. The album was recorded in California, and has many rock sounds, many critics think that it is her most achieved album. Her live from 1997 is also very good. No artist can compete with her, she is on every front, production, writing, composing... I hope you will enjoy her other songs and concerts as well.

I need a video of your reactions to her openings & closings video concerts ! 😂

Super job... I like it.... From Belgium ! !!

YEAH

Это гимн Миленщиков. Это гимн поколения 90-х. Мегахит.

This album is the one that makes me love Mylene!

Hi Dereck, I was in primary school when this song came out. I grew up listening to Mylene. The lyrics of this song are amazing as well.
