Lara Fabian Crushes My Soul - Je Suis Malade - Reaction!! 

I'm a 72 year old hard rock fan and former musician and this girl touches me like no one else in my life. Tears in my eyes everytime I listen to her. There is just something about her voice that is like no other and it's captivating. Great reaction, and yes the breaths are intentional. Kinda her trademark, and it works pretty damn good. They add so much to her songs.

It's not the voice, she's singing her own emotions into us, into our souls. Direct soul-to-soul communication, we know you feel it. So do we

Great reaction, You were right in not stopping. She is not only a great singer, she is a performer. Such emotion.

She truly lives the performance. It's simply incredible.

What a heart felt reaction...she just grabs you by the heart and squeezes. Greatness is right. Loved it...thankyou❤❤

Lara is the Queen of our hearts and souls!

This is a true complete artist, not just a performer. Amazing! She owns the songs like she wrote them or it's her life's stories and confessions. She manages to emote while controlling her voice so perfectly. She's like playing...effortlessly...

What a beautiful reaction to this touching song. It's wonderful when people can admit their feelings and cry. They are big heart people - and you are a big heart person! Thank you so much!🙏💞

Great Reaction!!! She is soul crushing. She crushes us all. Repeatedly. She is a Sorceress Queen, she puts us under a spell and then plays with our emotions at will. We are mesmerized. Spellbound...unable to get out of Lara's world. And when the song is over - we start it over and play it again. We search for and listen to her body of work, we tell our friends, we share her art. And then? We come and watch reactions to her videos trying to recapture the moment it happened to us. For it was so sweet, so sublime, game-changing. Millions can tell you how they feel cheated, sickened, that they did not discover Lara sooner...I am counted in that group. She IS the Sorcerer Queen, long may she reign. My favorite artist...of all time...anywhere...ever.

Who says you need language? That says it all m8, that and the tears rolling down your cheeks, Lara Fabian is another one of those wonderful artists that kidnap your soul🙌 We in the part of the world think we know it all lol This shows us just how little we do know of the wonderful and talented artists throughout the world! The internet has so many pitfalls without a doubt but look at how we can now, hear and discover these wonderful performers from all over the globe! Dimash, Diana, Angelina, So Hyang, we would never had the opportunity to hear. We are so lucky to be blessed with the availability of these wonderful artists. Thank you so much for a truly heartfelt and genuine reaction. Great job Sir! 👏👏👏👍👍👍

bonjour ici la France, Lara interprète merveilleusement bien cette chanson écrite par serge Lama et composé musicalement par Alice Dona. Suite àun grand accident de voiture, Serge Lama à perdu sa compagne. Deux ans plus tard, il écrit cette chanson. Un vrai bijou d'émotion

Lara Masters emotional songs. my favorite performer.

How can you hold back your tears in front of such a masterful work by Lara? I don't come often! And it's not just her song that has this effect on me. She is and will remain as one of the best singers of all time!

I can watch this performance for hours and I will not stop crying all the time... I just cant

My friend, many of us have heard this many, many times and, you know what? Most of us started tearing up when you did. What an incredible artist! Can you imagine being in the audience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They stood up in unison even before the song was over because they wanted desperately to let her know what they thought of her performance. I wonder how many artists have watched Lara and have tried to understand how she delivers such emotion while she is telling such a beautiful story. How did she start out? When was she recognized as a "singer?" Well, one day, she was in the backseat of the family car. Her father was driving and all of a sudden Lara burst out in song and papa couldn't believe what he was listening to! How do I know that? Lara told us that story when she was being interviewed. It's on you tube but I have no idea where to find it. Perhaps, Lara Fabian, television interview, might get you there.

Amazing reaction!! I agree 100%. Lara is master class and beyond. Thanks.

Thank you so much for reacting to this incredible singer and for listening to the whole performance of Lara Fabian.

Great reaction and this one song that needs a complete listen through first for the whole emotion, then back for a second pass. She really knows how to use the signs and breath to convey the anguish and almost hopelessness of the song.

Love 💕 Lara from VIETNAM 🇻🇳. As always Lara sings with full of emotion and passion. Excellent reaction. 1000 likes.

Believe it or not but this is only a cover. The song is a famous french classic from 1973 by Serge Lama (lyrics and original performer) and Alice Dona (music) But her cover has become the ultimate reference, she made some adjustments that even Serge Lama adopter in her later own interpretations. Lara is a songwriter and has written most of her songs so she knows how to convey emotions and was able to enhance this gem even further.

Lara was only about 2 years old when this song was written.

Posting again the 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 4 languages fluently (french, italian, english, spanish) and 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. 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, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia). She was raised in both countries 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 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, reached number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart 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 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 is 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, • Love of tired swans, She also wrote the lyrics of his song « Your Love ». She covered « Love is like a dream » before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva) And they 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 who came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him. 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) • Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade) • .... Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara. If you explore more of her songs, you will soon be hooked, I'm sure.

Lara the Incomparable - every performance a professional singers Master Class. Good call not to interrupt the flow. No-one else does love & loss with the sensitivity & muance of Lara. You are right about the 'theatre'. Lara brings every shred of her outstanding artistry to each performance - she thoroughly embodies the story - with micro-intentionality to every note, every pause & yes; every breath between. Lara is classically trained & can breath imperceptibly when/ where ever she chooses. Here she chooses to insert audible breaths to enhance the emotional delivery. The extent to which she 'inhabits' the piece is revealed in the time it takes for her to pull back to the present at the end. As for whose story this is, because of the intensity of her performance some have concluded that this is her story, and while Lara acknowledges she has had her share of heartbreak, this is not 'her' song. It was written by a friend of hers, a male singer / songwriter who was, at the time, in despair about a long affair he was having with a married lover. To my mind this further underlines the level of her skill. Her 'Caruso' is stunning, { I doubt anyone has -or ever will - do better } but if you need an 'uplift' after this one - you cannot go past her 2001 Paris performance of Je taime. Enjoy. 😊

Mercis so so much for your respect about Lara our french angel

My journey was similar to yours- I've seen her at Music Awards- I remember that I was in a hurry but in passing I've herd her voice and I just stood there and watch the whole performance. Her voice was sweet and powerful and that climax was insane. I stood there thinking- "wow, what a voice, who the f. is she?"". After internet I've seen Je t'aime- live from concert -and it blow me away, I've never seen something so emotional and touching. I instantly recognized her and started to cheek her other work. Hooked since then.

THE performance to rule them all. Always come back to it. Not composed for Lara. The lyrics by Serge Lama truly are hauntingly beautiful. Same goes for Caruso and Perdere L'amore from the same 'From Lara with Love' concert. Also, try watching Adagio from that concert by yourself. Worlds apart (pun intended) from the World awards performance.

Yes, a FABULOUS band. They and the full orchestra she had in this concert really shone. Great reaction. This whole concert will be fun for you. Rock ballads, bubblegum pop songs, classic Italian ballads, saucy Spanish song, etc. 🖖🏽

Caruso makes me cry like this one. Dimash also uses air and taking in a breath musical. It's nuts...it's clearly an artistic choices, so effective on the emotions, i guess it's sort of coming from Lara. then. It is an older song. I listened to the original version too just out of curiousity. It was very good, yet Lara is just so special. Please do more Dimash. For example Qaragym ai. It is a beautiful emotional song about he's teacher who passed away. Much love.

This is her hymn in a way. A display of control, feeling and expression that makes me cry each time. And, thogh it is in french, this song has a certain "tango feeling" that makes easy to introduce her to my argentinian felows by showing them this video.

One thing that nobody with Vocal training seems to notice or at least do not point out at all is the fact that Lara may 'interrupt' a note but does not breathe before she sings the next few words. Then, here and there, she breathes quickly between two words, both for musical and technical reasons. Also, in some instances, more obviously at the beginning of the song, the sound of the breath portrays the emotion, is the emotion. Just for this song, for a long show taped for television, she had prepared for countless hours.That is the huge difference between a singer, millions of them, and a performer, an "interprète" (to use the French word). One sings words and notes ; the later brings to life to each syllable and projects each note with a definite intention.

Great reaction! - LARA (not Laura) with links: Lara Fabian is a Canadian of Belgium birth and Italian/Franco/Flemish cultural heritage.

Lara. Best female singer in the world. Dimash. Best male singer in the world. I can see why you don’t read captions whilst reacting to music but in Lara’s case you should. Her lyrics always have so much meaning and intensity. ❤️

You have got to respect a man who is not afraid to get emotional and show it over something beautiful. Thank you.

Incredible reaction from you...bravo for showing the feelings. This song will always get you because it's a master class in how to word paint. Lara is an inspiration to Dimash and what an inspiration.

Lara Fabian's breath is the essence of music. There is not now, nor has there ever been anyone like her. What you have witnessed here, is a masterclass in performance art by the greatest female vocalist of our time.

Don't feel bad about your feelings. We're all having them. And yes! We feel the brilliance and vulnerability! Superb reaction, thank you.

You're a sweetheart, a REAL music lover who feels every note, every word, with his deepest soul. Thank you so much Prymal, from Paris, with all my gratitude and love

YOUR not alone my friend I was a wreck after the first time I saw this. STUNNING BEAUTIFUL JAW DROPPING not enough superlatives lol Great reaction as always.

This incredible song was not composed by her, it's given by google as Alice Dona / Serge Lama. It's breathtaken indeed!

It's almost impossible not to get emotional with Lara's performances. Please react to "Caruso" In Italian.

Being a vocal wannabe artist myself, your comments are spot on. Whatever she does is on perfect level. I want to kiss her boots.

This is a Chanson classic, while her, as a great story-teller, delivering one of the best interpretations ever. Reflecting perfectly how it feels to be in a highly toxic and emotionally abusive relationship - most likely with a narcissist or similar abusive person. The song was written by Serge Lama, a great lyrics talent, back then.

I'm a j-rock and metal fan.. But Lara, man. She is THE singer I look up to for delivery. nobody, and I mean nobody is more believable than her.

She ended the song with a belted note of B4 chest voice while belted toward the end on the same straight belted tone with B4 head voice

One of her most emotional songs. Thank you!

Might be one of greatest performances and critiques ever

I am only sad that the world is discovering this exceptional performance more than twenty years later😟

the song was composed by Serge Lama he popularised this song.But Lara did a fabulous cover performance of this song. she is a master when it comes to emotions and people relate to those emotions she performs so well.

You're very right. Her audible gasps/trembling breaths are very much a choice. It's a bit of a trademark. But she has songs where there isn't a single breath sound. And she has _incredible_ breath control/capacity, so no real functional need for noisy breathing. 😁

Originally sung by Serge Llama. She is just covering it but boy does she own it. Great things happen once in a lifetime. The music, The Lyrics, The performance, The delivery. When all the stars allign, Magic happens.

Thank you for your sincere reaction to Lara's masterpiece "Je suis malade". I really appreciate the respect you gave the piece by watching it all first. It is alnost impossible not to be moved by this piece of art. I have subscribed, in the hope that you will explore her other songs from the links recommended in the comments of Lara's other fans. Welcome to the Lara rabbit hole.

That my friends is a master class on evoking emotion! Lara is magnificent in this performance. I have either heard or read somewhere that she is either no longer performing or has severely cut back her performances due to memory issues... But PLEASE don't take my word for it. From the first time I watched this specific performance a year or so back, I have been in love with her talent.

It seems nobody told you what is the story behind this song, so here it is: Serge Lama (a french Singer - song writer of this song) was in love with a woman. But... both of them were married... One day, he said to her "ok, let's leave our conjoint and let's marry", and she said "yes". But the very next day, she left with her husband in africa (morroco AFAIR). This lead Serge into a complete sadness. He told this story to a woman, and a couple of day after she contact him to say she found a musical for this story, and when Serge heard this music, he cried and wrote straight away the lyrics of the song. So he released the song, and sang it. But... the audience was not that enthusiastic about it... So one day, Dalida (another french singer) sang it and... it was a triumph. The former woman he was in love with heard this song, left her husband and married Serge. And afterward, Lara Sang this song. IMHO, this version is the best one.

Great reaction. We love Lara, she’s incomparable. React to more of her’s please

A little hello from France. No worries about the tears, it's practically systematic for many people who have a heart. Thank you for your honest analysis. Lara is unique and unfortunately unknown to many... In a few seconds you understand that she is with you and you with her... You simply enter a unique moment, closer to a beautiful, sincere and majestic soul. Very few people are able to touch the souls of others so intimately with benevolence... A gentle, intelligent and so fair artist without artifice. I would like her to live forever for what she gives to others around the world. 😉👌👏

Right there with ya bud. Get's me every time. No one conveys emotion like Lara.

Thanks for this subtle and profound analyse . The best one on youtube.

She is really a legend love all her performances 🥺👏🏻

Greatness indeed! Another great reaction. Please react to Lara singing with Dimash and Aida Garifullina - Ti amo cosi 👌 Be well 🥰

Thanks. Very good reaction. Lyrics are very poetic too.

Thank you very much for your reaction! Crying every time watching this performance. Wondering when it stops))) still didn’t get to that point)

I absolutely enjoyed your reaction and breakdown of the song. Well done. Lara has a very large catalogue of outstanding performances, I would love to see you react to more of them.

È un capolavoro la sua perfomance,sia Lara che l'orchestra meravigliosi🥰

There's another concert online where it's only her and the piano. Again, incredible. The acapella part, she sings *without a microphone* ! She is an absolute artist, and still touring and singing just as wonderfully now in 2023 as then.

Amazing sincere, honest reaction greatly appreciated.

Love your reaction. First time I´ve watched you. You nailed it on the head....witnessing greatness.

Increíble la actuación de Lara Fabian, no me canso de escucharla. Me emociono muchísimo. Saludos desde Granada, España. Gracias!!

Her breading is her way of making a point of that she's not only singing, but human. In swedish it is called to "andas" (ande, as in spirit or soul)

First you didn't understant the title, but after the song you seemed to understand the feeling. Well done.

The composer of (je suis malade) is Serge Lama , a song from 1973. The song je suis malade (l'm sick) was inspired by serge Lama's real-life hart break long secret love story

I cried with you... I know that song by heart, an old cover, and she's just perfect. Your reaction touched me so much, thanks. Love from France 🇫🇷😘

The song was composed by French singer Serge Lama for himself in 1973. However, Lara Fabian sings it wonderfully well. I think she sings it after going through a painful heartbreak.

This must be the millionth time Ive listened to this song. It goes to your soul.

You are right Lara is a fabulous performer she leaves not many incensitive when she performs. she is a powerful vocalist that show was from 1994 .

YOUR BIG YOUR STRONG AND YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HEART ❤

Exelente reaccion! Obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabian, unica y casi perfecta! La mejor cantante e interprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal, mas belleza y perfecta que existe!Gracias!Reaccione a Caruso, Perdere l'amore, I guess I love you, Angels pass away, Gottingen, Tout, Lou, Lebedy! Gracias!

Translation in english for lyrics that are very important in this song: I AM ILL I don't dream anymore I don't smoke anymore I don't even have a story anymore I'm ugly without you I'm dirty without you Like an orphan in a dormitory I don't want To live my life anymore My life stops when you leave I don't have a life anymore And even my bed Becomes a station platform When you leave... I'm ill - Completely ill Like when my mother went out in the evening And she left me alone with my despair I'm ill - Perfectly ill You arrive but you never know when You start again but you never know where And you'll have soon been doing that for 2 years Yet you don't care Like a rock Like a sin I'm attracted to you I'm tired, I'm exhausted Of pretending to be happy When they're there I drink every night And every whisky Has the same taste to me And every boat Wears your flag I don't know where to go anymore, you're everywhere I'm ill Completely ill I shed my blood in your body And I'm like a dead bird When you sleep I'm ill Perfectly ill You deprived me of all my songs You emptied me of all my words Yet I did have talent Before your skin... This love's killing me If it continues I'll die on my own Next to my radio Like a stupid child I'll listen to your own, own voice that sings to me I'm ill Completely ill Like when my mother went out one evening And she left me alone with my despair I'm ill This is it, I'm ill You deprived me of all my song You emptied me of all my words And I have a heart that's completely ill Surrounded by fences You hear... I'm ill... Source: muzikum.eu/en/lara-fabian/je-suis-malade-lyrics-english-translation

This one hits deep... Lara is truly extraordinary.

Cette chanson a été écrite par Serge Lama et la musique composée par Alice Dona. Mais Lara seule a su mettre autant d'émotion...!!!!

She can make you cry with that song

LOVE HER SO MUCH !

I cry whenever I watch this video. In my opinion, she and Dimash are the singers who best convey emotions when singing a song. Besides the enormous talent they tell us a story.The next should be "Caruso"; it's in italian and an amazing one too. I also want to suggest "Ocean over the time" by Dimash; a chinese videogame soundtrack that takes me to a fantasy world.

Love your reaction...sensitive...Lara Fabian es una grande...la mejor... su música apuñala nuestros corazones... no puedo expresar las emociones que florecen en mi alma, a través de las interpretaciones de ella... una gran estrella.... celebremos... la música sana... el arte sana .. bravoooooooo.. gracias desde Venezuela

Loved your reaction buddy, your tears say it all...you might cry again by listening "Broken vow" ;).

All songs of this concert ("with Lara with love") are stunning : Adagio, Broken Vow, You're not from here, and many others. Please take a look 🙂

I always cry when I hear this song..

Thanks for not interrupting the performance at all, Nd, importantly, wTching the upload right to the end, where Lara is still totally absorbed within her delivery and character and almost oblivious to the standing ovation. Never apologise for lack of composure and don't be ashamed to share your tears. Rest assured all of us Lara fans cry through sll theses "reaction" sites. Welcome to the world of Lara, the only singer lowrd to dine at Celine's table,.. and vice versa! Consider me subscribed young man!

The lyrics state that it's been two years since the partner has cared at all, the partner leaving and her never knowing where. The lyrics also imply a physical relation when she mentions a time "before your skin".

I regret that I am unable to give more than a single thumbs up to your reaction.

Thanks for a really good response, Lara has several songs where the guitar plays an important role, both electric and acoustic. She has such a large background catalog so you can just say in whichever direction you want in your reactions, then I'm sure those of us who follow Lara will probably come up with some good suggestions. Thanks again for diving into Lara and her performance.

i did see so much reactions to this song, but thank you so much for this one! what a great honest reactionvideo! again, thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Fantastic reaction... I LOVE this song and this performance in particular... it makes me cry every time... it's pure magic, it's probably the best live performance ever! Another live song that is fantastic, powerful and that makes me cry every time is "Snuff" by Corey Taylor, I guarantee it will be worth your time checking that one out too :)

Great reaction !!! Thank you for sharing ! 😉👍😉

Thank you my friend, thank you very much... Eyes don't lie, eyes cannot lie, eyes NEVER lie... words, perhaps, but eyes... DON'T! Thank you!

Marvellous reaction! Genuine and respectful. I can certainly relate to greatness being moving. When it is paired with pure selfless delivery, magic happens. I feel like her version of Caruso, from the same concert, could be you next Lara song. Her version is her own, and significantly different than Pavarroti’s version of this Italian classic. Same emotional potency for me than Je suis malade, even though I speak french. The pain in her voice is as soothing as it is heartbreaking… Thank you, and cheers from Montreal!

I heard this song so often - I heard so often reactions on (of? about?) this song; yours is one of the best. Subscribed - its a pleasure. 👍

Great reaction on this fantastic singer!

This song was composed by two french people Serge Lama (lyrics) and Alice Dona (music) in 1973. Serge Lama was the one who sang the song in those days. Lara is half belgium and half italian. She lives in Québec now and she add this song to her *répertoire* i think in the mid 1990.

Dimash is a huge fan of Lara, and u can clerly c why! Greatings from an old Danish Dear and Angel ❤

Omg, I just cried with you, and I know this song since I was a little child. Amazing!
