@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee The power of the US music industry is that its gets your music all over the globe. If you want to have that global stardom, penetrate the US music industry thats the key. Mariah Carey aint popular in France, because her voice and music aint appealing to them simple as that. Celine Dion conquered France from the US with her Album in 1993? /1994? But still Lara was able to deeply penetrate the French music scene in 1996. She won the best female artist (French Grammy) and her album "Pure" became the best selling album in France (in French Language). Mariah, Celine and Whitney submitted a demo tape in order to convince the US record company to sign them. While for Lara I think two US record companies reach out and offered her a record contract.in 1998/1999 no requirements needed. When listeners/viewers are exposed to her, they are not blind.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee may i ask sir were you already a matured adult sir way back then? She got the attention of Sony only in 1998 after her Pure Album. Because of her hit song Jet taime. Her song I will love again was her first US hit The single landed on the billboard dance/disco at number 1 spot. Afterwards She was not able too perform any live concert and all her shows were cancelled. Maybe sir you should watch her documentary and maybe you should watch also how she was introduced by David Foster as a guest performer in his concert in 2010. Despite 10 years removed from her vocal prime she got a standing ovation there. I grew up in the rock era, but despite that my favorite US diva is Celine D. (Despite Its like a painful pill to swallow that Mariah seems to be a more complete package than Celine. She writes a lot of her songs way back then). But I have no problems accommodating Lara and Celine. I just place them in a proper perspective. but give value to both of them almost equally. Examining Celine`s Journey she was destined for global Stardom (just 4 years after Eurovision she won the Grammy and her MTV traveled all around the world.). Lara on the other hand is destined for greatness (mastership or being a complete package). from selling her albums personally, in Canada. from being born in Europe where the environment nourished her musical and artistic skills, including being a polyglot. And the only way to go up in a very harsh and competitive musical industry is to compose your own songs.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee In 2019 Lara again was nominated in the French music award (French Grammy I think). Her music was able to penetrate eastern Europe, where she has been considered as a vocal powerhouse and she was even allowed to perform in China and Russia. She is a director? in charge of training young French kids inclined to music). She is working with the top notch vocal artists such as Andrea Borcelli, Dimash and their likes. (By the way I used the word top notch not POPULAR, you maybe globally popular but not top notch or worse trash. Just like Tiktok, according to psychologist the highest views in Tiktok do not have any relevant content) And she is on a world tour. That is how relevant she is even today. Maybe your reference point is just the United States.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Really bigger? That aint because she is Mariah its because of thepower of the US marketing around the globe.. Hell Sponge Bomb and the transformers are popular in our place and around the globe why US marketing/commercialization. You see them on television.and advertisements hahahahaah. Waht a Twisted Logic. Igor Krutoy not top notch?. aSk the Eastern European block. hahahahaha. Get real, wake up from your delusion. Me too when i was young I thought the US Divas are the top divas in the World but with the onset of internet and Social Media, you begin to see a bigger pool of talents. you begin to compare them pound per pound, layering against layering. hell The Spanish Diva Monica Naranjo is one hell of a Diva that can really captivate the crowd. Voice and performance wise., she is not very popular globally. But she can kick a lot of Divas. I just discovered her a few months ago.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee I do not know if Dimash has gone un-miked yet. All I know it took Mariah Carey many years to perform live. And her overall voice during live performances aint consistent and of the same level/better as her studio recording.. Just like Whitney. Both of them have problems of sustaining their voices in the long run. and they lost their voice early or the first two ones to go. . Celine Dion is the most consistent among the US Divas...even up to now.
If you're in the US, you haven't heard of her because she was royally screwed over when she made the move to break into the US in 1999. The concert this song is from is called From Lara With Love, and it was filmed in Canada to be released in the US on PBS. She signed with Sony, which was a tragic mistake. Sony was Celine's label, and her management team (not Celine herself) pressured them to force Lara to go a different direction, they couldn't handle her competing for the chanteuse market. It turned into a nightmare for Lara, and it was over before it had barely begun. So if you didn't catch one of her appearances or the concert on tv in that brief time, like so many of us, we are discovering her now. I found her during the 2018 Olympics when a pair of Canadian skaters used Je Suis Malade. I was completely captivated by the voice and immediately went in search of more. She is incredible. It's the greatest rabbit hole in existence. Multi-lingual, multi-genre, composer of the most amazing melodies and lyrics, dancer, actor, and a genuinely phenomenal human being. Enjoy the adventure! I will add, that after the US nightmare she spiraled into a very dark place, even thinking of suicide, but ultimately pulled out of it and wrote what is considered one of her greatest albums, called Nue. There's a concert that was filmed in 2002, you can find it on YT, that is so good and such a complete love fest because her fans wanted her to know how much they love her. There are moments that will take your breath away, even though it's in French (unless you speak French) it won't matter, you will feel it. Welcome to Lara's world!
This whole concert is a master class, I highly recommend it. Called From Lara With Love, it was filmed as part of her attempt to break into the US market in 1999 and shown on PBS. You can find it on YT. The venture sadly failed, not because of Lara but because Sony was horrible in their handling of her, and Celine Dion's management team (not Celine herself) made them push Lara in a different direction and it all fell apart. So we really missed out. But the good news is she is still performing and writing and still amazing because she takes care of her voice, and you have her whole amazing discography to discover. It's the greatest rabbit hole in existence! Enjoy!
The incomparable Lara. No-one else does such subtle and exquisite nuance and emotion in every note & breath between . Spectacular performance. Please do her Caruso - is even more powerful.
I found her through Jackie Evancho, for whom Lara Fabian re-wrote the lyrics of "Broken Vow" and renamed it "Imaginer" to be more age-appropriate for her.
I know! I can't tell you how excited I was to see you react to her Je Suis Malade. I have loved your channel for a long time, but I never bothered requesting her since I thought you probably get a million requests. I love, love, love how carefully, patiently, and meticulously she built this song from beginning to end. I discovered her myself only a few years ago, and my reaction was just like yours. I was like "Who...What...WHO IS THIS?!?." And a late in life superstan was born. She has top-tier vocal technique, with an enormous toolbox of skills that she employs surgically and precisely to get at the emotional core of each piece. Her emotive stagecraft/storytelling is unlike any I've ever seen. I've only grown to admire her more for her composing and writing the vast majority of her songs (in French, English, Italian and Spanish.) Imo, it's her knowledge of what makes a song work that makes her covers so wonderful as well. Hence, Je Suis Malade is even more impressive, in some ways, for the very effective tweaks she made to the original and her total.success in making it feel completely, authentically in the moment and coming from HER. Astonishing. She's known for her powerful belts and cathedral like resonance (the sympathetic vibration of which we feel in our torsos or face or skull as you mentioned in the vid), but she is rock solid at extremely low volume/slow speed as well. Which is Hard. Her control is Amazing. (Did I mention I am a late-in-life stan? 😆) Which brings me to my recommendation so you can hear her Italian and everything from soft speech/conversational level to huge, ringing belts: Pedere L'Amour from this same concert, From Lara With Love. Others will be recommending her sublime Caruso, which is a must too. But if you'd like to hear the belts, Pedere is where it's at. I think you might enjoy her hommage to Whitney's version of I Will Always Love You from her Pure concert. (She's in a white suit.) She stayed true to WH's interpretation and did herself proud with her buttery belts. So happy my favorite reactor has discovered the singer I'm most intrigued by. Great reactions today! 🖖🏾
Link to Pedere for you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X_Tx5yFzYLU.html No English subtitles. New Citizen has a vid, not upscaled, with good English subs onscreen if you'd like.
Whitney Houston is not the original singer of "I Will Always Love You." Miss Dolly Parton is. Dolly also wrote the song, BTW. And you would do yourself a favor by listening to her version. As good as Whitney's was, Dolly's original was superior. This is from 1974; the song was written as her goodbye to Porter Wagoner, the host of the show she sang on. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rGs1soJT9gE.html.
@@davidcullen6797 Respectfully, I am very aware of all that. Hence why I clearly wrote "Whitney's version." and "WH's interpretation". Do yourself a favor, and dont approach strangers and their comments from the assumption that they are ignorant. Or at least try to gracefully suss out whether they are, in fact, in dire need of your edumacation before dispensing it. 👍 Yes, I am prickly today unrelated to youtube comments. But really, it shouldn't be that difficult to tone police our own comments in advance of posting, right?
Great reaction!!!! Awesome - 2 Lara reactions in a row. Thank you. A couple of more reactions from her and you will not be able to get out from under her spell as she plays with your emotions at will. The best ever. Lara is divine, the Queen of resonance, ring, range, passion, stage presence, pitch, control, diction, and technique all in 12 languages. Other than that she is not very good.
So great to see americans discover at last Lara. Since the 90' she's famous in France, Belgium, Canada, Russia... She tried to start a career in the States without success. She's a great singer and lives every song that she sings.
I'm so glad you finally have Lara on your channel. I think I suggested her months ago but never thought you'd get to her. It doesn't matter what language she is singing in, she'll pull you in! She speaks like 5 languages fluently and sings in 11... she's amazing! She was here in the states briefly in 2000... she had the top dance song on the billboard whatever... song is called 'I will love again '...maybe you'll recognize it. Her stay in the States was short due to political bs from Sony...who also had a contract with Celine. Anyways...stick to her live performances....you can't go wrong....Caruso, Tango, Broken Vow, Perdere L'Amour ....list goes on and on!! Lara Fabian is a huge star around the world and should've been huge here in the States. I will edit a link to her big hit here back in the day, not for you to review but to see if you remember her: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IxC8MZ1RS-c.html
Lara has one of the most sensational voices and every time she sings, she lives in the song! You must not lose to react to "Je suis malade" from the same concert, it is quite an experience!
Well: You said it, you could listen to Lara Fabian all day long. So my request is this: Simply react to _any_ Lara Fabian song you can find. :) I dare you! :)
You should react to Ti Amo Cosi. It is a beautiful song. It features Dimash, Lara Fabian and Aida Garafullina. Aida's voice is phenomenal also. There is also Igor Krutoy on piano.
Caruso, Broken Vow. These performances were from the year 2000 when Lara's voice and beauty were at their peak. She was 30 years old. Celine, Whitney, Mariah...Lara tops them all in evoking emotion when she sings. Her idols are Barbra Streisand and Freddie Mercury. The rumour is that Celine Dion's people sabotaged Lara from becoming a star in America. Sony records never gave her the promotional push here. Celine didn't want the competition. But Lara's fans across the globe have undying love for this woman.
Oh my gosh, that is so very heart breaking if it's true...💔 😢 Wow, to think anyone could do something so low. And, as far as I'm concerned she is better than Céline Dion, a little bit, but still, there could have been room for both of them to shine.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee The year 1999-2000. Mariah aint with Sony yet, and Christina shes just like Britney Spears. You should watch her documentary here is the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lg2iVHP3GOY.html
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee She didnt left Sony. But there were irreconcilable differences, Sony wanted her in a different genre. Maybe you should watch the documentary first.
Yes, Lara and Dimash sing together with an additional singer called Aida. It’s called Ti amo cosi ( I love you so) . It’s a operatic song, very beautiful
Another awesome reaction to an outstanding performance to one of my favorite songs by Lara Fabian. Actually, this is the song that introduced her to me. I heard her sing it on Eurovision competition many years ago and was left .... speechless. 😳 I wasn't the only one. 😁
I know her since the 90’s, as I live in Quebec, Canada. Lara was a big star at the time. She was the european equivalent of Céline Dion. I agree, she didn’t get the recognition she deserved, but i’m sure she have a beautiful life and lots and lots of fans.👏
Well done my friend and thank you for react to the Queen Lara Fabian....You saw her Singing in French and now in English, so PLEASE react to Lara Singing in Italian (her mother's language)...Remember that she speaks 8 languages, but when she is Singing in italian, she Blown away your Brain....Here are two of her italian performances: CARUSO (1999 LIVE VERSION) and PERDERE L'AMORE (1999 LIVE VERSION)....Amazing both!!!
@Fedor Ivanov Thank you my friend...I think that I have to contact you one day because we both love the Queen Lara Fabian...Maybe we can found a Lara's fan club, je, je, je!!...And I have to say that I have seen some of yours links because they have high quality...Thank you again....Here you have a little gift from my country ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_K-Gtb_ywfg.html
@Fedor Ivanov My friend Fedor, here you have another gift from my country....It is a video series of one a nice woman from Russia....This is the Capter #1, but you can all the serie in her channel....I hope you like it.....You don't know, may be in the future you can come to visit us......ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BCGkQqFOks4.html
Thanks for reacting! I discovered Dimash via Lara Fabian, now I feel old..She wrote many of the songs he performed, other artists have covered her song "Broken Vow" many times, and indeed Lara and Dimash sang together with Aida Garifullina, with another memorable long note at the end: "Ti amo cosi": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XaQFfqC3lnU.html
I loved your reaction😁! I'm French and especially a fan of this singer but also of the woman she is😍! When she does something, she does it thoroughly! She sings with her voice, her body and her soul🎤🎶!! A+ 💞
Love it Jamel … LARA & DIMASH SANG “ TI AMO COSI” it’s on Dimash’s official RU-vid channel. LARA ALSO co-wrote “OUR LOVE” for Dimash. They’re close friends now. To be clear she’s NEXT LEVEL. ✌️♥️
Lara is a totally awesome singer who was born in Belgium on January 9/70 who's sold over 30 million records world wide. I believe she currently lives in Montreal. I just wanted to pass along another female singer named 'Jennifer Rush' who also has a great voice. I'm not sure many people really know about her, however, she co-wrote the song 'The Power Of Love' which was probably made a little more famous by Celine Dion's cover version. Jennifer, born in Queens, NY and is very popular in Europe. (Look for Jennifer's best 6:00 min. 'Power Of Love' song version). Other very good notable Jennifer songs are: 1) Destiny 2) Ring Of Ice 3) I Come Undone 4) If You're Ever Going To Lose My Love. Enjoy!
Have you heard of the Norwegian singing sensation and national treasure Sissel? Check out her stunningly beautiful version of "Adagio": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0F8qJUZZ0hg.html
Jamal... thanks for the reaction my friend. Lara, Lara Lara, her name itself is music. Just how she has found out what is in my heart then sings about it I'll never know. And it's been years now, but the crying jags have not let up. Time perhaps for that 12 step program 😉
Lara utilise sa voix et son corps comme un instrument de musique ..toutes ses respirations résonnent et cela donne une dimension émotionnelle qui ne peut pas être décrite mais juste ressentie..mon esprit ne m appartient plus le temps de la chanson .. on en sort bouleversé et changé ..
Must watch concert , Lara Live , Paris , 2001, this has never, ever happened before. Nor will it ever happen again. You will be blown away . GUARANTEED !!
I loooove her version of Caruso, one of my favorite songs of all time and I really love her song You´re not from here. Also it´s worth watching her Je´Taime performance in Paris - there is a little surprise. My wish came true that you finally discovered this gem and now Im waiting for your BTS journey and for you becoming Army. LOL :D My life will be complete then. LOL :D
Just voicing my opinion. If Lara had had more promotion by her USA record company, you might have never heard of Celine Dion. Remember "I Will Love Again?" No disrespect to Dion, just that the two vocalists sound so alike. Thinking about what really happened to Terry Stafford sounding so similar to Elvis Presley. Record companies don't want to push similar sounding vocalists. This performance can bring me to tears.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee The US record companies selected Lara over Sissel simple as that. So your assumption is false. Celine was the generational talent? (of forgive me Celine among the US Divas She is my favorite. But the truth is the truth), Is she a full pledge songwriter like Lara or dependent on other songwriters? How about level of artistry? How about song interpretation? How about performance and stage presence wise? I mean everyone who has observed her several times will recognized that she is a complete package. Not only the ultimate Diva but also a vocal phenomenal. People who are exposed to her are not blind.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Who is Sissel? I have never heard that name. Celine was already well established when Lara tried to make the move to the US. It ended up being a tragic choice for her when she chose to go with Sony. Celine's management team (not Celine herself) couldn't handle the competition and made Sony push Lara in a different direction. The whole thing fell apart and Lara went home broken. There are interviews where she talks very openly about all of this.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Yes. Because Lara did not exist way back then. (not in their US music industry map) Not because he was the first one to one selected over Lara. So dont put emphasis that Sissel was the one selected over LAra statement sir.
Stickman, Celine is a great singer but Lara is another level.. Technique, breath control, dynamic, passion, interpretation, diction, perfect pitch, a full package. She writes her own music and lyrics and live and embody the song like Anyone else in this world. If Celine had no Tony Mottola behind her... Well.. You wouldn't talk now
Yikes! I have, literally, been listening to Ms. Fabian all day, Jamal. She's amazing! Beautifully trained, natural talent, and just a bit of Janis Joplin.
Check out Lara's Caruso live performance in Italian. View the one from New Citizen with English Language subtitles. Also Broken Vow live. Then view her live performance of Je t'aime in Paris. You've never seen anything like it.
I just tripped over the fact that people have broken a few of the concerts apart and put them up here and you good sir are reviewing them. Decades ago i heard not from here in a friends car that i borrowed and about drove off the road. Not a good time in life. and then life happened... decades later getting to rediscover who imo, is one of the greatest talents, in so many ways. So classy, so beautiful, so humble. A good human. If you pay close attention as I have started to after watching some of these basically non stop this last week through the tears, you can see that she is so filled with emotion, passion, and like she literally closes her eyes and zones off into the stratosphere where we are lucky enough to hear her fly. I can only offer that if you want to appreciate a talent like this, and many others, take out the ear buds.... goto a quality based store and get a set of cans ( headphones ) and a decent soundcard. That's the cheap option, you can go down the rabbit hole like anything in life and go into near live performance audio if your able to afford it. Whatever you can afford to do, we can all afford to be good human beings to each other before it's to late. God Bless you all.
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 62YO Jamel Try from Lara "Je T'AIME" ( live) in French means I love you You will see another level of Here TALENT Merci beaucoup Jamel et continue ton bon travail 😉✌
Jamel my brother, It’s been awhile since RU-vid sent me a reaction video of your’s. I thought you might find this intriguing: The song Adagio instrumental was originally written in 1685. Over the years there have been adaptations to the song, most were were key changes. Lara is the first person to put lyrics to the song, in English & Italian. Lara & Gabriel Henrique (from Brazil) are buddies. Lara, Gabriel, Sarah Beatrice. I think there was another person? Anyway, being fluent in Portuguese were on a video call cutting up singing sort of round robin. Lara has an incredible since of humor, beautiful on the inside out. *Lara was a fixture on the EuroPop Rock Chart. She did a cover of Dolly Parton’s “I will Always Love You”, she stuck primarily to Whitney’s version until the section where the saxophone came in, Lara had an electric guitar player feature instead. Spread ❤️&✌🏼. Timothy in Tallahassee, Florida 😎🌴
I know of this song because of Malmsteen when he did it in the 1990's. I had a gut feeling that I knew of the sound of the song and it seemed familiar to me but I didn't investigate because it was the 1990's. Cell phone and internet was durrr... I loved it and I thought it might be his version or new. I didn't know for sure. I have since then learned it was an old song he borrowed from. I love all versions of this song. :)
Hello Lara and dimash have never performed this song together. the only time they met on stage was on tiamo Cosi. otherwise there are virtual montages well done or both sing the same song
Lorraine L0C0vision 0 seconds ago Lara wrote a song for Dimash with his very famous piano player Igor Kutroy called “Your Love.” My all time favorite Lara songs are “Je Susie Malade” and “Broken Vow.” Dimash does sing with her and another famous opera singer on “Te Amo Cosi.” But also treat yourself to the passionate performance she gives with Johnny Halliday singing “Requiem Pour Un Fou.” Thank you so much for this authentic reaction and don’t be afraid of the Lara Fabian rabbit hole!!!
Yes ! They did a duet + another singer ..just look for Dimash & Lara Fabian and will find it on you tube. When i listen both sing goospumps after goospumps ...🥰😢😢👍🇷🇴
I remember the first time I heard her, it was this song, in Italian though, back in 1999. I first thought it was Celine Dion singing, but quickly found a new great voice to listen to.
Next up Lara Fabian "Caruso" in italian with english subtitles. also check out Pavarotti's version of Caruso (English subtitles). Both incredible performances
You should know that Lara's voice as well has Celine Dion's were been studeed by scientists back in the days, what they found was lara's voice waves were therapeutic and actually could cure diseases, Celine voice is beautiful too but didn't have that particular property.
