DOUBLE TROUBLE!!!! Lara Fabian & Cakra Khan "Broken Vow" | Artist Reaction & Analysis 

Cakra is a very competent singer with a pleasing voice. Lara Fabian is other worldly. Once again, there is just no comparison with anybody to Lara Fabian. it’s Lara and then there’s everybody else.

Lara Fabian , the ""WOW""" girl Lara has a very beautiful strong velvety voice in all her 4.1 octave ranges , very consistent voice an incomparable breath controle. ""Broken vouw"" is covered many times ... But in French she has a few more ''strong" songs that are never ""covered"" because of to difficult Lara was that time in the same record company as Celine Dion. Because of the team behind Celine did every effort tot ruin the carrier of Lara in the US she had no breakthrough in the US like other Canadian singers as Celine Dion and Shania Twain. Lara had also that time not the great manager an very big songwriters behind her as Celine Dion. That is why Lara turned her carrier more in French to Canada, Europ , East Europ and Brazil That is also why she has not a world wide ""english"" hit .....A French song gose very exceptional world wide ....... The next big diva ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7waPSfYGcR8.html A broatway performane whit the French rock legend Johnny Halliday ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PHwIF6jmOCY.html A special movie of 51 minutes whit her songs made in Russia: Mademoiselle Zhivago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E_vqPgn7WRE.html Lara manipulates her voice like she wants ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JecOMRaHQHc.html On top of this all is has Lara Fabian a very beautiful personality

He did a very nice job. She is masterful. Her skills toolbox is enormous and her every tiny choice brilliant.

More information on Lara Fabian: Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, .... In my personal opinion, she is even the best. There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register. So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence: • she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer. • she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none • she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens. A quick background on her and her career: She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both french and italian as native languages. She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory. She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today. She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She now lives in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship She became very famous there and then conquered France in 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music). In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US. This concert is legendary and the song you just reviewed is from this concert. But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan. She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar thru her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months. Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban, … With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there. Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her. She is Dimash's idol: I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep. He covered many of her songs (that she performed originally ; she also wrote some of these). Out of my mind I can list: ○ Adagio, ○ Mademoiselle Hyde, ○ Know/Vocalise/Ascolta La voce ○ Love of tired swans She also wrote the lyrics of his song « Your Love ». And she covered « Love is like a dream » before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva). They also performed Ti Amo Cosi together with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitriy Hvorostovsky and Alina Yaroyava then again later with Dmitriy and Sumi Jo, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida. Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara ; Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it. Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs: ○ Floor Jansen (Adagio), ○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime), ○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie), ○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow), ○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace), ○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know), ○ Il Divo (Adagio) ○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow) ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Vitas (Adagio) ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ .... NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version. Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature. In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.

Twenty-three years later Lara's original remains unequalled. In this pairing her acting of the lyric was in another league, her breath control was in another league and her pitch control was in another league. Although the roughness of Chakra Khan's belting voice is a matter of opinion, he improved as he progressed and by the end, his cover was one of the better ones.

The music of Broken Vow was co-composed by Walter Afanassiev and Lara Fabian, inspired by a classic piece of Rachmaninoff (Piano Concerto N°2 in C Minor). Walter Afanassiev, an american/brazilian from russian descent, is a legendary composer and producer (he composed some of the greatest initial hits of Mariah Carey such as All I Want for Christmas is You and was the producer of the Titanic soundtrack that brought Celine Dion to WW fame). He is also now the producer of Dimash for his US career. When this song was composed, Walter and Lara were engaged, but apparently he cheated and she decided to break up. When she took this decision, that she knew would dramatically change both her personal and professional destiny, she wrote these incredible lyrics. Lara has said this is her preferred english song from all the songs she wrote in this language (there are many, and some are pure jewels). One reason is also because this song has then been covered by the greatests: - Barbra Streisand (she performed it in concerts from one of her tour but never recorded it), - Josh Groban (his cover made this song famous in US), - Morissette Amon, - Cakra Khan, - Regine Velasquez, - Almira (from 4th Impact), - Katrina Velarde, - Julie Anne San Jose, - Sarah Geronimo, - Petra Berger, - Harrison Craig, - Rimar, - Jackie Evancho (in AGT), - … Regarding Jackie Evancho, and at the request of Jackie's parents who found the original lyrics were not a good fit for a young girl, Lara rewrote Broken Vow in french as "Imaginer" with a complete different meaning.

Cakra khan..the king of soul and raspy voice..very emotional,i feel it..😓...OMG,cakra🖒

Nobody sings this song like Lara, Tone, diction, riffs, runs, and real heart breaking emotion. This is her story, her song.❤

I love when you're doing these 2 amazing singers not comparing but how they delivered this song on their own way....Lara has the softness and vulnerable as a female which is so amazing to slay this rendition... while cakra has more power as a male big voice without losing its soulfulness....sound amazing as well.... it's all about how to bring the message of the song....and they both nailed it..

Lara is without doubt the Supreme performer of this song. No-one else comes close!!!

Next react to song "i'd rather go blind" Etha James. Covered by Cakra Khan. Please

Lara Fabian is a phenomenal singer, simply beautiful voice. Cakra Khan is fantastic at making cover sad songs sadder 😭. His voice, ohh!!...

next ....Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - Roberta Flack Version (Cover) by cakra khan

This song is more suited for a woman and Lara simply ride the song. Cakra did justice to the song but not as strong as his goo goo dolls cover.

Exciting reaction to two magnificent renditions. Great analysis of the voices of these artists. I believe that interaction with the audience is influential in interpretation; despite this, I think Cakra did very well and, Lara, wonderful.

Hi Jacqueline.. Why don't u react one of Cakra's cover songs titled FOREVER MORE ? In that clip u'll see all of Cakra's singing tehnique.. along with his soulfoul to that song itself.. I promise u wouldn't disappointed 😇🙏

ILOve you For react Cakra Khan and lara fibian Please again

Ok i am a big fan of Lara and she is just amazing on this song...as always. But i have To admit that for the first time i like a cover of one of Her song. I didn't know this guy before this video but he did à very good job. I prefer Lara but that was very good. Thanks for this reaction. .

⭐NEXT REACTION CAKRA KHAN COVER👍 -A SONG FOR YOU -A SONG FOR MAMA

Interesting. I didn’t know Cakra Khan (I keep hearing Chaka Khan in my mind). He sounds like Jack Savoretti a little. It’s hard to be compared to the one that wrote the song (specially this one) and still he did a good job.

Lara Fabian amazing voice Cakra Khan good voice.

Absolutely Amazing Voices! 👍👍

Cakra's sad but faint howl near the end sums up the meaning of the song... pain is still there 💔but slowly fading away 🙏 Amazing cover 🥲 Thanks for the reaction 💞

Your next Lara, should be Adagio and Je suis malade . The last as to absolutely be with the subtitles. Live from the same concert of Broken Vow.

Cakra....Lebih terasa di hati... 😢

I like this song sung by two different singers. It is very beautiful song I think.

After Lara , trying to listen to someone else singing the same song is very difficult.

Cakra Khan is the best singers number one from Indonesia gendre pop.... becouse i'm from Indonesia you know

The incredible Diction.

💜 this isnt about analizing technique only ...this is just to feel our true 💜 .........................

Cakra 'Whistle voice' for the last song (22:29) .... It's magical💕

next Cakra Khan all i ask Adele cover.

Lara Febian amazing.Absolutely Cakra Khan The Best singer

Lara Fabian is just a top notch top tier of a heavenly singer. Chakra Khan is about to get there too :) Stunning.

Hello, très content que tu réagisse à lara. Lara est un modèle pour beaucoup d'artiste, elle est l'idole de dimash. Lara chante dans 12langues différente, français, anglais, italien, espagnol, portugais, allemand, russe, adzerbagian, grec, turc, hébreu et latin et parle couramment 4 langues. Lara est unique ,elle chante avec son cœur et son âme, elle est unique par son émotion incroyable avec son corps et son visage et biensur ça voix. Quand elle chante ,vous avez l'impression elle chante pour vous . Écoute absolument la chanson , je suis malade en français sous titre en anglais live Montréal 1999,c'est le même concert que la chanson que tu viens d'écouter. La chanson à était écrite dans les années 1970 et lara est considerer comme la meilleure reprise de tout les temps de cette chanson . Elle parole sont extrement forte et puissante ,jamais tu n'aura entendu de telle parole et une interprétation à couper le soufle .

Cakra Khan 💛

in the original version i feel the pain. in cakra khan's version i feel pain and 1001 night vibes

❤❤

Cakra Khan from my country Indonesia...love u...🥺👍🇮🇩

I've heard this song countless times sang by different singers but only one person who brought me into tears and it was Lara Fabian. Her voice hits different and she knows how to convey the meaning and emotions of her own songs. However, when it comes to male versions I like Harrison Craig and Chakra Khan

arguing which one better is totally useless ... this reaction video is definetely not about competition between both singers I like both the same, but in different perspective - Lara sings out her emotion, and Cakra does it too in male version ... Lara sang in front of large audience with orchestra behind, while Cakra sang it in empty room for cover only - thus making the vibe and emotion different I love Lara's skill, power, and control in singing, but Cakra's husky voice also sounds soothing and warm in my ears ... both are great ❤️❤️❤️ thanks JVB for ure reaction, wish u to react more of video like this 😘🙏

Cakra very full soul, emotion and technic . 👍🇮🇩

I don't like his voice at all, at least not with this song. Lara line always, the queen, the ring.

Cakra knows make we lost control

Cakra Khan 🤩😍😘

Αγαπητή μου, δεν υπάρχει βέβαια σύγκριση μεταξύ των δύο καλλιτεχνών απλώς η ανδρική ερμηνεία είναι αξιοπρεπεσταση. Όμως η λαρα όπως είπαν μεγάλοι συνθέτες είναι η φωνή και η ερμηνεία από άλλο πλανήτη. Κάτι απλό. Προσέξτε προς το τέλος πού από το πάθος τρέμουν τα χείλη της και σφίγγει το στόμα για να μην ξεφύγει. Αυτό λέει τα πάντα. Δεν υπάρχει καμία και κανένας πού μπορεί να σταθεί δίπλα της.

Cakra better for me....sorry for fans of Lara

What a great reaction!! Yes pls, more Lara!!

If there is the best male version of the song, it's must be Chakra.❤

I will post separately details about Lara’s background, career and the huge influence she has on many vocalists from the new generation. But here are my suggestions : Songs she wrote: • Adagio (english version) : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bqoS-KOLV_4.html (covered among others by Dimash, Floor Jansen,Dame Shirley Bassey, Il Divo) • You are not from here (english): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vv8XFXKXRLI.html • I guess I loved you (english): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EwI-HIfSyqU.html • Je t'aime (french): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l826rlBOn9w.html (covered by Polina Gagarina, Giula Falcone, …) .

💔💔💔💔💔💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏

Please react Cakra Live Perform with the song "JEALOUS" You will love it....

Forever more chakra khan next

I love Cakra Khan...❤

Beautiful wowww

Conjecture: Married Patrick Jean-François Chouchayan (1998-2000); she wrote this song in 1999 - you do the math! Did not remarry until 2006! Love the Josh Groban version but Lara's performance is stupendous!

Thank u again for this heartbreaking episode,JVB💙💘💙Cakra Khan's rendetion of this song is heartwrenching💔💔💔

I like cakra,his voice is more dynamic.

Amazing good song good voice ❤👍👌❤🙏🌹

I love Cakra version , make me cry , Lara version I’m not cry only feel sad , anyway both great

Cakra khan and Lara fabian the best 👍👍❤❤

Why dont try Mans made world cover by Cakra Khan please?

An obvious comparison to do would be Lara's "Adagio" (from the same concert) and Dimash's Adagio ( from China I think). It has been done before, but your take on it would be interesting.

Cakra khan 😍😍

I agree, for me, simplicity is the only way of life. Always has been...

He's not for everybody. I don't care or him at all. But nice reaction. Lara G Fabian is the greatest female voice on planet Earth!!!! AND SHES GORGEOUS !

She is the Top Female vocaliste in the world, major star in Europe, speaks fluently 4 languages, (Italian, French, English, Spanish) also Russian and Portugese. More than 30millions album sold world wide and almost unknown in the USA, i will let others explain her story, she is now 53 yo and just finished a world Tour in 2022. You now have the Lara-virus, no vaccin, no medication,she sings from her soul to yours....

Both exceptional but Cakra's rendition gave me goose bumps

His vocals are powerful and have a step vocal type character

Reorion new alip ba ta 2023 reaction please..

I listened to this song when I first got my heart broken in 2013 even though there was so much music at the time but it was the only one that matched my feelings and I don't know how I could know the song.. Now, I feel like I'm back in time 🤧

Hi JBV GOOD NEWS FROM FINGERS STYLE MASTER ALIP BA TA NEW ORIGINAL SONG (2023) REORIEN.AND HAVE A NICE DAY AND HAPPY NEW YEARS.

Good and nice reaction my dear friend ❤️👍

Mantap guys thank you for react

It was Dimash, Lara, and Aida Garifulina. Ti Amo Cosi was the piece. Epic!

Nice cover but it's definitely Lara's song.

Thank’s for react next please react Alip ba ta's New Song Reorien thank’s

I enjoyed both versions, But Lara, owened it . Try playing Adagio, by Lara..Paul farina, Florida

No comparison. Lara is the Queen of Emotions.

Should have reacted to C. Khan, J Goban and Harrison Craig renditions of the song.

Lara Fabian is the top in the world to me. Since you like to do comparisons, I would suggest Lara Fabian singing ‘Adagio’ and then Dimash’s redention. These are the first two song performances that I heard while searching to hear what’s going on in the world of singers these days. Finch I learned of Lara and the next thing I heard was Damash singing his version. Most defiantly worth your time to do this, you won’t be disappointed. After this, you might find a double smash performances of two other separate redemptions of the song S.O.S by Dimash and Piet Arion. This is not to compare the two, just to celebrate two wonderful gifts from two very special voices

How many seconds was it into Lara's performance before you had a tinge of regret that you scheduled a double header? To be fair to Cakra, he performed at home with a store bought microphone, and only a piano accompaniment---and about 20 years less experience in singing, and heatbreak. For all of that, he did an exceptional job.

congrats.. so great song and singer .. good job

Uuuuuh waw...nice dress..u look beauty ❤...!!?👍👍🥤🇮🇩

Ms Jacquiline... pls do listen the cover of Vanny Vabiola, another Indonesia rising star 😊
