Grandiosa, poderosa actuación! 👏👏 Espectáculo puro, muchas Gracias por tu análisis y escuchar nuestras sugerencias. Saludos desde Málaga 🇪🇸🎻

This is a powerful prefomance and tragic story. Johnny and Lara were perfect for this. It took a lot of guts to do something like this, and shows how professional these two were. Unfortunately, Johnny passed away a few years ago😢

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 and Charles Aznavour themselves ! 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, but for this concert , in this 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 a bad man who was his rival in love affairs. Here it becomes more a « Bonnie and Clyde » scene where the main character and her girlfriend 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. There were 200+ musicians and 150+ chorists on stage. 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 rein 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 just starting to be known 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. This duet has become legendary and iconic in France, there is still at least one TV show every month coming back on this duet and exposing the behind-the-scenes moments.

In France this is regarded as the all time best french duet in front of 80,000 fans,almost 30 years later, they still talk about it today.

I'm so glad you got to see, hear, and enjoy Lara in her kick-ass mode. Aren't her wordless belts magnificent? Johnny said Lara was the only woman crazily intense enough for this duet. "She is me as a woman. She gives her all to tell a story and does not give a damn what she looks like when she does so." The English translation is off at one point. It's "My life was his heart, his body" (coeur = heart and corps = body sound a bit similar hence the mistranslation). You've now reacted to two of Lara's three favorite performances ("Je t'aime" where the audience sings is her absolute favorite). The remaining one, "Tu es mon autre," is also a duet, sung with Lara's dear friend and famed Belgian singer Maurane (sadly deceased). It's a chance to see yet another side of Lara.

great comments.After the world of Lara ,come into the world of J Halliday..more duet :Lara and Maurane (tu es mon autre ) ,Lara and Laura Pausini (la solitudine),etc...

Ciao, il povero JOHNNY alla fine di questa straordinaria performance gli saranno fischiate le orecchie per almeno due giorni con LARA che sparava tutta la potenza della sua voce a pochi centimetri dalle sue orecchie, scherzi a parte fenomenale performance di questi due artisti. Ciao tanti saluti.

Dear Aleks, I knew you would like it. It put a smile on your face. Johnny was a gentleman, he put his miicrophone on 70% to let Lara, who weas becoming famous at that time, shine. And she did shine. It was a rockopera, but with a lot of intimate moments. Lara told later that the fysical aspect made her less nervous, by holding on to Johnny, she was calm to perform for the 80.000 in the poutring rain. Again, glad you reacted to this. I listen to this song a lot. But now and again I watch it, one of the great duets Lara did. The other one is with Maurane: Tu es mon autre. It is a real contrast with this one. So please, put it on your list. Have a good weekend. And thank you again.

This is a legendary performance. Lara was in the beginning of her Career and Jonny help her and promoted her . I think there was almost 90 000 in the audience. Great reaction. Thank you. I hope Eric comes with moore information. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.

Love Lara ❤️ Love from Denmark ❤️

Lara's power is amazing, she has only come to my attention in the past few years, Johnny Hallyday I know of for many years, same age as me, rather middle of the road rock by Anglo American standards, but this duet was impressive and it helped cement his wild reputation.

Epic! The orchestra with all the string instruments in unison and the wonderful choirs, make you foreshadow everything that is going to happen. Requiem for a madman; I don't know if a madman because of dementia or because of passionate love... in any case in a ceremony of honor for death. The duo performs this song in a masterful way; the body language of the two making the perfect counterpoint, Lara's incredible rock voice, even more dramatic than what she is used to, I liked the way they caress and hug each other... one in particularly when she holds them in her arms like a "Piedad". All of this soaked by a rain that adds another point of drama. Johnny Hollyday is a legend in France. He seemed like the perfect couple to stage this piece; as you pointed out very well, it looks like a Rock opera. Thank you very much for contributing your point of view. Excellent reaction!

Two great voices for an excellent performance, one of the best duets in music and a great production the likes of which unfortunately are no longer seen today. Thank you👍

One of the best duet performance of all time. It is nice to see you smile watching and commenting on this performance.

Always happy to see your Lara reactions!

Obrigado!

J'adore ❤❤❤

Thank you Aleks for this reaction and this Epic duet. It was really superb and moreover you fell in love with Johnny's voice...

Oh Alex’s, I love you. I love your reactions. I think this performance is magic

Johnny Hallyday, the biggest singer/rockstar of France who sang many duets with many big world singers, also duets with Celine Dion . But his most spectacular duet is the duet with Lara Fabian . This is why, Johnny explains kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i86neJiezLLDdaM.html

Hello, merci de continuer à réagir à lara. Tu viens de faire ta première réaction à un duo de lara et tu as pu voir que lara est toujours là même, elle donne tout en duo comme en solo. Quand on sais que Johnny Hallyday était l'artiste le plu populaire en France et en plus au stade de France devant 80000 personne,lara à fais une prestation incroyable . Je te conseille le duo avec laura pausini plu grande chanteuse italien,duo sur la place de Rome, la chasnon la sollicitude . Duo avec josh groban for alway's et duo avec Michael Bolton las vegas 2010 chanson the prayer.

Ok... so I've watched several of your videos to various artists but I can honestly say that watching you react to Lara is rapidly becoming a favorite pastime of mine. After watching your expressions to this video all I can say is Tango! I would love to see your reaction to it!! As always thank you, I enjoyed your entertaining comments of this powerful and different Lara performance.

Great reaction to this mind blowing performance, love it😍❤️

🇨🇦 A couple more to add to your list ! "Growing wings" and "Choose what you love most, and let it kill you" And another, her first really big hit, 58 weeks in the charts, "I will love again" ! 🇨🇦

Lara❤

🇨🇦 Finally 😋 LOL Just kidding, but I am happy that you enjoyed it ! And now, because you need a change of pace, I suggest one already on your list ! "I am A-WA", but grab the comments after for it's meaning ! 🇨🇦

This was such a wonderful reaction, thank you!!

Selamat sore Ibu. To me it s like tasting Coca Cola for the 1st time. I didn’t like it so much because I must admit I am not found of Johnny boy. That said listening to it over and over during a certain laps of time I must admit it s rather good .I love the intro and like you I like the energy and will that both put into it. Please watch her Live video of « Dis moi pourquoi je l aime « poor quality vidéo yet good sound and a new Lara to discover.

Hey Aleks, you're finally back with Lara, great. I feel like you, my focus is on Lara, but maybe that's also because i've never been particularly interested in Johnny but this duet is really legendary and yes, very intense😂❤

Questa è sicuramente per te una nuova Lara😊. In questa sua performance che è alla storia come una delle più belle performance Francofone in duetto con il grande Jhonny Hallyday , Lara mette in mostra tutta la sua potenza Vocale, la passione, la grinta e la sua capacità interpretativa. Da sottolineare un paio di aspetti di questa immensa cantante, dotata di una tecnica sopraffina. Il suo belting potente e cristallino, sempre sostenuto da un costante flusso di aria che le permette di mantenere una permanente consistenza vocale e un bellissimo vibrato. Il controllo che ha della sua respirazione è pazzesco, infatti lei ha anche frequentato un corso specifico sulla corretta respirazione ( il suo training classico qui si vede tutto) Seconda cosa la sua immensa capacità di cambiare registro vocale in maniera quasi impercettibile, che le permette di trovare sempre la risonanza e il "colore" che desidera, aiutata da un perfetto posizionamento della bocca e del palato ( 02.10- 02.12.. 03.18.) passando indistintamente da un registro alto ad un registro basso , dalla voce di petto alla voce di testa o mixandole, e Lara è molto conosciuta e imitata per questo.. Di solito lei usa molto una mix voice (voce di petto/voce di testa) molto "areata" che le permette di dare "calore" e perfetta e cristallina dizione delle vocali e consonanti, anche sostenendo delle note molto acute per diversi secondi.. Qui lo fa di meno, usa molto di più una voce di petto piena. E poi quasi alla fine della canzone fa una cosa tecnicamente molto apprezzabile, (06.18) quando in piena voce di petto, all'improvviso si piega sulle gambe, costringe i muscoli addominali e passa in piena voce di testa in un nano secondo! Per niente facile da fare😊, ma lei lo fa sembrare così naturale 😊. .e se pensiamo che siamo alla fine della canzone, che è sicuramente impegnativa a livello di energia spesa , lei ancora è pienamente lucida e cosciente di quello che sta facendo.. Masterclass di bellezza e tecnica, difficile trovare una artista così, un libro aperto di tecnica di canto. ❤

Excellent reaction, Aleks, but are you okay, hun? Bc, I don’t know, you seemed a bit overwhelmed and this iconic performance usually causes some serious side effects on people. Actually, rumour has it that it led to 3 major consequences: 1- Lara conquered France for once and for all. 2- Johnny’s left ear had never fully recovered from such impact. 3- Johnny’s wife had never let him go up on stage with Lara again. Well, I’m quite sure the first one is absolutely true. I guess the second is totes possible. And I think the third one to be rather justifiable, I mean, based on what we have just seen, who on earth could possibly blame the poor woman? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey, Aleks! Really missing you and your Lara reactions, although knowing that you have other singers to react to. Anyway, although also knowing that your spreadsheet must be already full, I’m gonna leave three other suggestions here, ooops 4…. bc I don’t want to forget making them and I hope that one day you’ll be able to get to them. They’re all so beautiful: “Aime” with full orchestra: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9CCddSl0qrZdGQ.htmlsi=Kgej6wNXBdQaF03h “Un Ave Maria”. This song is so peaceful. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNmTZM1lrNKWgJc.htmlsi=8qd1JLRBOO0m2d5l “La Lettre” from her “Un Regard 9” concert. You can quit this vid at 4:00… After that she’s just going to thank the band. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mquVgL2rvJaVaYE.htmlsi=ouANd_jZFHQJNPJM And “Hushat Ha Eucalyptus” , a literal angel singing in Hebrew. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5OnpbKLy5etf3k.htmlsi=ZnQt_uTO3MCNpjJI BTW, Hauser has recently posted his duet with Lara of “Caruso” and it’s stunning to say the least. As you already reacted to this song, but I know how much you love it, maybe you’ll just want to watch it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJyTfdRhr9DdqWw.htmlsi=Yj90vRib2i08cyfA Although a double reaction with their performance of “Adagio” would be amazing, but I know I can’t ask for that… 🫣
