Finnish Vocal Coach Reaction (SUBS): Lara Fabian "Caruso" //Äänikoutsi reagoi 

I don’t know how many times I listened to you commenting this Lara’s performance and each time I think you are so preciously right. The overall Artistry put into this peculiar moment is magical and translate the amount of natural ability, hard work and training she engaged into it. In short as a Story Singer she keeps your attention and imprint her Soul into yours.

Lara said, as a vocal coach and artistic director in Star Academy Quebec this year : “How to emote without impacting your voice? Sing the emotions in your head, feel the emotions in your heart, but keep your throat free”. When I heard this, this last note from Caruso came immediately to my mind. Or some notes from Je suis malade. I am glad that you mentionned it.

The return of this "beast" of a song/performance... I'm already anxious to hear what you have to say about the way this artist stands on stage. I ignore if at some point she has felt "stage fright", but in all the performances I have seen her thanks to @Eric Sicard, Lara has literally "eaten" the stage, it seems she was born to be showing her art to everyone; a wonderful gift to the art and to all of us.

"Painting with words" I LOVE this.

I can never get over how flawless Lara's pronunciation skills are no matter what language she's singing, Lara nails it.

Yours is the reaction I have been looking forward to!

One of the very best vocalists of our time ! Lara performance artistry is serving to none ! Anna you will be amazed at this magnificent original song by Lara ! So so emotional ! I'm excited to see your reaction ! Thank you 🤗🇨🇦❤️

Anna, Thank you for this reaction. Yes, the singer and the music are exquisite examples of their craft. But to see the waves of emotion come across your face was exquisite also. Seldom do people FEEL the expressions a singer brings from inside themselves. It is a very special moment when that happens. I saw pure joy in your smile as I was listening to this wonderful artist. Your honest and heartfelt reactions make watching all of your videos worth it. That is something that cannot be said about most people who do reactions. So again Thank you for sharing and thank you for teaching. Best regards Scott Farley.

Lara's pre-performance talk about the meaning of the song to her caught your imagination but as soon as she began to saunter into the stage and you unconsciously straightened up your posture (from 1:09) the game was on! She captured you before even singing a note. Enjoyed your review as always Anna! 🥰

Yes, excited to see your reaction and insghtful comments ! 🤩

A great choice, Anna!!! :-) :-)

I love her last note. The dynamics getting softer and softer but also the quality of her voice as it gets breathier and breathier until its seemlessly becomes an exhale. It's a stunning display of voice and breath control. I've never heard anyone else comment on it. So maybe it's just one of those things that caught my attention.

Amazing Lara Favian...i love her...nice reaction ...love it.

Oh Anna, full of drama and amore, this is a very classical Italian love song, te voglio bene assaie ......... Remembering Enrico Caruso R.I.P., the master tenor. Lara Fabian did a terrific job, but do not forget Lucio Dalla, the former vocalist. Qui dove il mare luccica ........

Hello, beautiful Anna!Lara, the great singer of our time!I really like her voice!Thank you, dear, for the excellent reaction.👏👏👏🌹🥰🇷🇺

Love your reaction here and you got to be one of the best at this and knowledgeable as well. A great combo. FYI - The song is about Enrico Caruso, as you pointed out, but some may not know the rest of the story behind the song, the subject, the author, and this songs writing. Caruso, the greatest tenor of the early modern era was so big, such a massive international star, he was Elvis, Pavarotti and Michael Jackson in one. He died young in 1921 but he made it to the phonogram era so his amazing voice was captured and he was nearly individually responsible for phonogragh sales among the wealthy in those very early days. Everyone had to get one so they could listen to Caruso and invite their friends over. The author, Lucio Dalla, imagined those final dieing days with his young wife (with whom he had a very public affair - she was an heiress). He mentions a room, on a terrace, on the Gulf of Surrento that Caruso and his wife actually stayed at often and which Dalla visited. FYI - Lara sings "Surrientto" instead of Surrento, not a mistake it is quit purposeful, as Neopolitan Italians - Caruso was born in Napoli - pronounce it that way. Lara misses NOTHING! It is a love song, a deep love song, but a tear jerker as well.

Lara is just spectacular with her performances 😍 Never gets old every time I hear this.

Lara is able to put so much emotion into the singing and performance and yet keep it in control, not go over the top. Really talented. Also, great analysis, as always!

OMG- it's been too long since I last heard this. Lara is a Goddess.

I think your comments on her singing is like someone describing a painting. It suddenly becomes SO MUCH more beautiful, It gets SO MUCH more meaning. Lara's singing is already totally enchanting but then with your highlights it becomes so meaningful. THANK YOU.

what a pleasure to watch two beautiful women experiencing high emotions. Thank you Anna... 😊

Goosebumps by just reading this songs title. It is like open heart surgery, straight to the heart, no shortcuts. Kiitos! Huomiseen ❤️

I absolutely LOVE your opinion / reaction of our Ms. Lara!!! You are so knowledgeable, and truly appreciate her magnificent talent! You are also informing us what we should notice The Who and the whys’. Thank you Ms. Anna very very much..

Always a pleasure watching your reactions!

Caruso, is an italian song, written, composed and performed in 1986 by Lucio Dalla as a tribute to Enrico Caruso, the most famous tenor of his time (late 19th / early 20th century). He was the first global singing superstar. The story is about the last days of Enrico Caruso, he knows he is dying, and he is remembering all his career on stage and telling his much younger wife how much he loves her. It has very quickly become a classic of italia music and the biggest names have covered it (Julio Iglesias, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, …. and of course Luciano Pavarotti). But for many, Lara's version is the best ever, as she was able, with her unique ability to convey the emotions of a song, to reveal the real sad story written by Lucio Dalla. I was told that Lucio Dalla himself, after hearing this performance, said that she made it her song and this is the best version he has heard from it. For Lara, this song is really important as this is a kind of anthem for Italy, and she is so much connected to this country. She spent the first few years of her life there with her sicilian mother and grandma. Her husband is also sicilian.

Another wonderful reaction video with Lara! Also, yes her mother was Italian. When she was very young, Lara lived in Sicily with her Mom for several years. I thank you so much, so much, you know ... ;)

A beautiful song and performance matched with a beautiful and precise analysis by a beautiful human being. Ti voglio bene assai …..

Hi , the best "Caruso" in the world, surely

Anna great job with your reaction and analysis for" Caruso " Song by the Beautiful and very Talented Lara Fabian ./ I do believe your also very Talented and very attractive ( Beautiful) just like her .

Hello Anna👋 I just viewed your reaction to my favorite singer, Ms. Lara, again.😆 in case I missed something you so cleverly notice of her magnificent performance. I simply LOVE your opinion, and analysis.. Of all the ones who analyzed Lara, you and one other, notice more of Ms. Lara talents, and her extra capabilities she’s learned to reveal in her performances. I’ve always wondered who her vocal coach was, who discovered what an instrument she possessed. Watching you through out this song, is such a joy, because you knew the why the why not etc. I hope your students fully appreciate you as their voice teacher. You sure know what your talking about,….AND, you seem to ENJOY being a vocal coach! 👌😄 it shows! Please continue your enthusiasm, you have a lot of followers, you have a beautiful way of communicating. Thank you so much! I hope that you’ll have another Lara song to analyze soon. Take good care, and stay safe..

Olen odottanut sinun reagoivan tähän! She is magnificent, and so are your reactions and understanding of her craft 👌

I'm looking forward to hearing you

Wonderful reaction! Your expressions at every "right" moment show the depth of your feelings when listening to the music. You catch all of the musical nuances and give perfect reactions to each of them. Your comments/explanations of what you hear from the artist are always spot on. Thanks for taking the time to make these reaction videos.

A performance with full of artistry .. and amazing reaction from you. I truly enjoy it.

Possibly the best voice in the world. Beautiful, beautiful song. The duet between Lara and Johnny Haliday is also just gorgeous (and very dark and Bonny & Clyde-like) Cheers from the Netherlands.

Just crying here with the Goddess Lara Fabian and your analysis about this masterpiece!!...Lucio Dalla, the original writer of Caruso, said that the Lara's version is the best ever!!...Now you realize that really Lucio wrote this song for her and nobody else can sing it better...Thank you for this amazing gift Anna!!

Just a side note : did you know she had several concerts in Helsinki in the past? Here is one she had in 2014: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_yQ5GGIFFO4.html

What I think?? Oh, girl. There's no better combination than Lara'a videos and Anna reactions. If I can suggest more of these: "Broken vow", "You're not from here" and "Love by grace" (all of them from same show), deserves your analysis. Besides I'm a instrumentist and not a vocalist, I love the way you can capture the details to show us the beauty of these incredible performances. Thanks for that!

I can't think of anything more beautiful than this performance.

Yes she is half Italian by her mother . And yes her Italian is perfect . Be side she wil have a show in June 2022 In Montreal ,Quebec city and Trois-Rivières In Quebec ,Canada .

Caruso is just food for soul. Her phrasing is everything. I suggest "You are not from here"from the same concert. She only sang it twice (as far as we know) because it's not easy but it seems so when she sings it. Also, from her concert "Et toute intimite" her cover of "Comme ils disent" where you can see her acting skills or "Je suis mon coeur" where she kills you emotionaly

I love how you switch between Finnish and English. 😊 But even more your analysing skills. Thank you.

Fantastic reaction to one of the hardest songs sang by the top female artists of our times. Such an exquisite performance. She sings with her every part of her being.

I don’t know who had more passion, Lara singing the song or you reacting to it. 2 of the greatest faces in the world on one reaction. Just breathtaking.

Lara Fabian my all time favorite female performer. Her voice is so spellbinding for me. She kills me every time..Kiitos for reacting to this lovely Lady!❤️

I wonder why I cry….. and listen to such emotional singers that takes my heart back to lost love, breaking with pain, then rapture myself in the pain of it that only certain artists are able to evoke in me, like Lara. Like a goddess that knows my hearts experiences. She is a Master of song.

I was already aware what kind of power house Laura Fabian is. This was beautiful. Even more beautiful is to watch you become one with the song, seeing your veins melt and just let the voice of her engulf you. One would almost forget the great analysis that follows 🥰

I really love your reactions: the precision with which you analyze is stunning. Further, it is very nice to hear your opinion about my long ago music classmate which has grown into such an incredible artist.

This will be good.

Wow, good vocals ! Excellent !

Anna, you've now done reactions to my 3 favorite Lara Fabian songs. Thank you! I've watched countless reaction videos to all 3 & have to say that I've found your analyses the most compelling. Beautifully done. ❤

for some reason this song makes you want too cry, one off the most beautiful voices ever, she is a good story teller.

Anna Your brilliant detailed analysis does justice to the faultless perfection of her performance. ❤

This performance brings tears to my eyes and I am a grown ass man. Well done indeed.

Lara is a vocal coach at Star Academie, reality show in Canada. She seems to be a great teacher. There is a RU-vid channel called Lara The Ring Fabian who has done a great job subtitling in english.

My god, that’s really the best rendition of that song. Unbelievable. She’s incredible. Please react to Broken Vow next from the same concert

Well done Anna.....Thank you for your wonderful analysing of this performance.

Anna thank you once more for reacting and analysing Lara's masterpiece "Caruso". I find it so intetesting, thanks to you, to understand how Lara is able to produce subtle changes in her vocal delivery to enhance her performance. As a trumpet player I'm having a little difficulty with "vocal fry" as it just turns into flutter tonguing.😁

dear Anna, I love your reaction and Lara is just amazing

Hi. Great reaction to such an amazing performance as always! I recommend that you react to You're not from here, Broken Vow and Perdere l'amore. They are really amazing like all her songs! Greetings from London 😀

She is captivating, 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 great reaction!

Very good analyse! Makes you understand WHY she is such a great singer. Her technique and the way she is using it is so delicate. Well done my Finnish neighbour! You know your thing. Moi moi 😊 Tommy/Sweden

Kiitos Anna for a beautiful reaction to my favorite performance of Lara. I simply love how she makes her audience feel the emotions of the song like "pulling" them into it. As always I love to recommend Requiem pour un fou the duet with Johnny Hallyday where she shows her rock voice and still pulls you into the drama of the story told by the lyrics.

After a long trip home from Helsinki (Finland is worth any trip) this ended my day with grace, insight, fun and a wonderful voice/artist/human ! Thank you Anna - it's also a pleasure to read comments and follow chat. Bravo Anna

Belgian, raised in Sicily and Italy. Canadian/Belgian citizenship. She's a miracle. Thank you for including this.

Muy bueno, me encanta, no me la pierdo, Anna.

Beautiful song, beautiful singer, beautiful reaction and you looked beautiful too 😊😊 so I'm happy!! 😊😊😊 Have a great weekend, Anna!!!

Lara is half Italian, this explain her passion, love, emotions. She definitely feels the lyrics and sings with voce, body and soul. This is the story of a man in his last moments of life. I think she gives you that feeling 😢😊

I have the first line of the chorus ("te voglio bene assai") as ringtone for my wife. That tone melts my heart every time I hear it (and she knows it!). She really studied how tone frequencies effect the emotions of who ever is listening. I love her voice so much!

Perfect indeed, yet strangely that word does not seem strong enough to express just how great this performance was.

And in terms of Stamina I would be interested to see you reacting to her cover of Barbra’s Yentl where she chains “Papa can you hear me” and “Piece of sky” perfectly while running all over the stage in broadway mode ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zW8lalHMwxk.html Or her legendary opera rock performance in a 80,000 stadium in duet with the french rocker Johnny ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zR1rkt_0biA.html She has stamina like nobody else in fact. In her pure concert in 1997, she chains many songs including yentl, I will always love you, vision of love and she finish with her hit Tout, a very energy-consuming song. And everything seems effortless to her 🤩

Hi, Anna. I always like your reactions. You pick things up so quickly and also seem to remember mostly at which point you notice one or the other. That makes it ever refreshing. You basically said it all at the beginning that LARA is already into the song (the story) long before she even starts singing. That is the mark of a true artist. I agree totally on what you've said about where and when she uses her breathy tones, also and especially how easily she switches from those conversational lines to singing. I love your reaction. I would have loved to have a vocal coach as engaging as you are, with very educational pointers, etc. ❤

Bravo! Mi piace molto questa canzone. and I also liked your reaction feeling to this song !! This is one of my favorite songs! Well done! Bello lavoro!

Wow!!!! What a performance!!! i dream of what it would be like to be in that audience. So powerful this song, so perfectly sung.....captivating.. Great walk through of the song Anna.I always learn from you and yes the next video i see i will be checking the shoulders. (smile) Thank you for another great experience.

love you insight as always. I already love a song but you give you give it a new dimension to think about it. ❤

The first time I ever heard this song it was performed by Luciano Pavarotti and I immediately fell in love with it, even though I didn't understand a single word of it ..... well ..... I knew a few words Italian but nowhere near enough to understand anything of the story. I've heard Luciano Pavarotti sing much more impressive pieces often to utter perfection, but I somehow prefer his rendition of this old Bel Canto song above all his other works and that's really a high bar to pass. Then I saw this rendition by Lara Fabian and fell in love all over.

Her word painting is Second to none. She's the Bob Ross of singing 😉 Nicely done Anna!

Somehow the RU-vid algorithm gods sent Lara to me just a few months ago! I have since watched dozens of, Lara Fabian "Reaction" vids. The many comparisons to Celine Dion continue to bother me. While Dion is a wonderful singer, no one comes close to Lara "The Ring" Fabian! Unfortunately, her manager was no match for Dion's "Team". Just as Lara was attempting to break into the American market in the late 90s, the door was essentially closed! This is why ~90 % of Americans have never heard of Lara Fabian! I can only imagine what could have been. Even though I am 25 years late to the party, I am thankful!

Broken Vow is another great one from her. Really looking forward to more Sohyang at some point though. There's just such a stack of truly mind blowing things to hear there. Fate from I am singer is make half the audience cry epic and ain't even on the list half the time. Breathe from masked singer is another but tends to get the reactors who weren't yet gotten on the others tears wise.

Confidential to Anna: NOW I know who Lara is! :D

The more songs you've listened to from Lara, the harder it is to hit the "pause" button.🎶

My favorite vocal coach. Greetings from Holland!🌺

Yes. Lara delivers a Master Class. { Yet ANOTHER Master Class! } Micro-intentionality in every moment, every note, every breath between and in every gesture. Skill level awe inspiring! As you explain; beautifully finely nuanced and well balanced word painting. To my mind no-one has ever delivered a better Caruso. Takes my breath away each and every time. { ? Have you seen her 2001 Paris performance of Je t'aime yet ? Get the tissues out!} 😄

I always assumed this song was older, when it would turn up in the rep of one tenor or another, and I suppose it was written to sound that way, like one of the Neapolitan standards. Ms. Fabian's performance, however, put all those others into the shade. She tells such a vivid and emotional story, her Italian is salty with the sea air, and she gives us a very specific character, in a particular time and place, abd feelings about mortality and grief that are universal. So much feeling, so many chills (especially on that rising arpeggio) and yet its never overdone or contrived. And she always stays on top of her technique - even when she seems like she might in the next moment burst into tears - or faint, or scream - she's still in control, and brings her voice back to a stable place. Your heart is in your mouth, but you also know that she will get through it, so you can safely surrender to the drama. It's that ability to sit on the edge of emotion, without being overwhelmed by it that makes her so special - and distinct from some of the women with whom she is often compared. Celine Dion does not make me feel this way. Nor Mariah, nor Whitney. Perhaps Streisand a little. A singer from the theatre, which is no accident. It's surprising in a way that she hasn't done any musical theatre, because she is a great singing actor. Or acting singer. Wonderful, either way.

Lara is amazing with this rendition and Anna is equally fantastic at taking us through Lara's work and all that voice work. It's really a discovery for me and I understand now why we say that singing is an art. Well done Anna!!!

A lot of what she sings is a masterclass in performing. You can study, analyse, take all the brilliant examples out of it . But it is simple, who can bring it naturally as she does. She is the master of her singing and has full control.

Tu ne sera jamais déçu par lara fabian ,toute c'est chanson Sont chanter avec son âme et avec une telle émotion . Juste une chanson ou tu verra lara fabian comme tu la jamais vu ,requiem pour un fou en duo avec Johnny Hallyday plus grand chanteur français de tout les temps, la tu verra lara en tigresse et tu verra une incroyable osmose entre les 2 artiste ,cette chanson et comme un remake de Bonnie and clyde, 2 amoureux prêt à mourir l'un pour l'autre, incroyable performance, dans cette chanson très intense ,ils ce touche montre leurs amour dans cette performance

Como se ve que disfrutas oyéndola cantar, se te escapa la sonrisa en cada momento.

Lara is in my top 5.......killa....you to Anna

Lucio Dalla was an "uncommon guy". Sura was not a standard people member... He has never studied music but he was really great... I am very happy when someone delivers his songs this way (great way) thank you for choosing this song

Perfect. No more needs to be said.

I always learn with you Anna, even after seeing her Caruso so many times. Here is a selection of some of her vocal performances: You are not from here (from the same concert) with long sustained notes, Ascolta la voce (Dimash sang it too, and I think there s a video with a comparison of their performances), and her astonishing covers: I will always love you (1998 concert especially), Yentl (yes the Barbra's song)

Bella! Bella! Bellissimo!

Another great reaction Anna. Really appreciate your expertise. No one can make you feel a song like Lara. You don't have to understand one word she says. It doesn't matter. I would recommend a certain song to react to but it doesn't matter what live performance you listen to. Her brilliance shines through in every one.

Just: Brilliant !!

Thanks Anna for yet another amazing reaction, I love your reactions please react to Lara's "Broken Vow" you will love it.🤩 ❤️ greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

Looking forward for your Lara cover performance ;) 🤩 may be “Je T’aime” will be the best pick from her 🔥🔥🔥 great reaction as always 😇

Meravigliosa Lara, meravigliosa Anna e meraviglioso Lucio Dalla. R.I.P.

you've got that perfect ear that can expalin why i like Lara so much, After spending one month in your country listening to varjorastaat, viikate on radio , i thought you're country was not so bad. i love who you found some details that i couldn't not explain before your comments. Thanks from France,

Outstanding reaction/ analysis!
