Lara Fabian "Je suis malade" Live 1999 - From Lara With Love - Songs and Thongs 

“Je suis Malade” was written by famous French singer & songwriter Serge Lama together with composer/singer Alice Dona in 1973. This is based on his own experience and he was the original performer, hence some lyrics are a bit male-oriented (eg my mother leaves me, whiskies, I pour my blood in your body, …). When Serge Lama had a dinner with Alice Dona and told her about his obsessive love that was leading to a road block, she came back home and compose the music in a couple of hours. The morning after, she presented him the music and he wrote the lyrics in … 20 minutes. Serge Lama was the original performer in 1973, but a few months after, Dalida covered it and brought it to fame. She was an absolute mega star in France, another emotional powerhouse, and this song resonated very much with her own feelings. Her success with this song transformed it into a french classic, and started to make it famous abroad. But it is Lara Fabian that really made this song a very popular song in many countries with her cover in the mid 90s. At that time Dalida had already passed away, but Serge Lama was (and is) still alive. Dalida and Serge were two inspirations for Lara, so she sent an audio copy to Serge of her version. She was unknown at that time in France but he was so impressed with her vocal skills and her emotions rendering that he invited her in France to sing it as a duet. They became good friends. Lara has made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power and Serge Lama adopted these in his later interpretations. This 1999 version ("From Lara with Love" Concert in Montreal) is legendary internationally and has attracted many artists to do a cover, even from non french-speaking countries. The most recent one I am aware of is from the Korean band Forestella.

Most singers sings you a song, but Lara, right here, sings you a story. ;-)

I'm a french heavy metal singer and i can't help but cry when she sings that song...

Female version of Dimash? She’s HIS idol. He literally gets everything he does from her 😉 This was from her concert, back in the early to mid 90s. From her breath control to going from head voice to chest, where she speaks, everything g is felt and has intention. She’s absolutely magnificent and only second to Whitney as a singer. Please check out her original that Dimash almost copies, Adagio :)

Every single Lara Fabian performance is this kind of emotion where u can't just get away from FEELING the emotion of the song, she existe in every song she sings, u can see how hard it is for her to get out of the character at the end of each song she performs, and that explains why she's such a powerful singer... She really shaped my whole view on what an artist should be since I was a kid

This is a master class...lara is amazing...great reaction guys...thank u

This is one of the best live performances ever. Period. Surreal, the vocals, emotions, lyrics, stage presence, incredible. Please react to Broken vow next from the same concert

I've been listening to music and watching musical performances for 50 years. Never has any performance by anyone else moved me like this. So powerful. Lara Fabian should be the world's idol.

bonjour ... lara Fabian n'as plus rien a prouver ....c'est une tres grande chanteuse ..merci de votre reaction

i dont know where ive been all my life to not hear this song, i discovered LAra couple monts ago and still luv to watch peaple react to her perfection, and im a little bit hate modern music to not be at this level of passion and emotions

My favourite female singer of all time ! ❤️

This is game over.

As you probably know by now, Lara Fabian is a hero Dimash. He puts her on a petalstal

It’s not possible to cut this wonderful song a lot of times like That.

Hi. Lara's native languages are Italian and French. She speaks both since she was 3 years old. Then she learned English and Spanish when she was 10 years old. Currently she is able to speak and compose songs in Italian, French, English, Spanish fluently. But she is also able to have a little conversation in Russian, Portuguese (she evn co-wrote a song in Portuguese with perfect accent, as a Brazilian I can say, the song it's called "Meu Grande Amor", which means My greatest love), and Flemish (Flemish is the native language of her father, she was born in the Flemish part of Belgium country, her daddy if from there. But she was raised in Italy till her 5/6 years old. From 8 to 18 years old she attended the Brussels Royal Music Conservatory in Belgium. She learned how to sing, play piano, guitar, write and read music core, her teachers were Master in bel canto and opera, but she decided to focus in the pop style, even though she is able to sing in operatic style, and she uses her bel canto skills in her pop songs, with her perfect breath control and pasagios. She is able to hold C5 and D5 in chest voice for over 20 seconds, without strain the larynx. Vídeo bellow shows she singing in 12 languages. Thank you for one more reaction of Lara's. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MZ3GxqlPzwc.html

LARA is a World Star and she will stay forever! Lara is the best!

the best diva's ever, she is storyteller when singing

Nobody can ever sing like her 💯lara is only one of the kind, i dont know who is dimash but Lara voice is from heaven and i only listen to rock, my friend told me a long ago listen to Lara Fabian Caruso and i was Hook, so only her and Rock music i listen to 🍻🇸🇪

He’s gorgeous

When all the beauty of the world is ,for an instant,incarnated in one place,in one person,in one song.absolutly stunning.

I feel sorry for the people that are old enough but never knew Lara fabian exists or this song exists…

Kuddos to you for watching it through the end... where you see just how invested Lara is in the song... and is struggling to come back from straddling that knife edge of the emotion of despair (to inform the song/performance), but avoid succumbing to the physical side, which would make singing literally impossible... Very difficult to do, and Lara is a MASTER of it.

she is fabulous yeaahhhhh

She is Dimash’s idol. There’s vid of them singing together. She is Belgian, Sicilian and Canadian from Quebec. Check out her “Adagio “ and my favorite, “Caruso”.

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 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 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, ○ 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 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), ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ .... Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.

Thank you for your reaction . Yes she is Madam Lara Fabian . She is the idol of Dimash and not the oposite . This is how you sing a song . Thank you again . Try also "Caruso " from her " Your not from here "

Thanks so much Vic for turning this into a reaction. 🙏 By now, and after they also reacted to Adagio, I guess they understood that every single song from Lara deserves a full reaction 😃 I did subscribe to their channel as I really did like some of their comments and the emotions they shared with us. When they said “ this is the woman version of Dimash”, did they know Lara is the absolute idol of Dimash since he is a child and he was inspired by her in so many ways?

La plus belle voix du monde

Lara is an idol for Dimash.

Pra mim de longe a maior apresentação ao vivo de uma cantora no mundo. Nessa música ela foi perfeita em tudo.

I'm addicted looking at people hearing this for the first time 😁 Nice reaction, grtz from Belgium

I cry every time I see this performance, she´s AMAZING

Dimash has nothing to do with Je Suis Malade. Or the level of Laras talent.

Queen Lara !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm so proud to be belgian :))))

Lara is a queen 👑 please react "Broken vow". Maybe you know the song cause is a song that so many singers covers. But Lara is the original composer💙

Dimash is a huge fan of lara's

Fantástica!!!

Correction: Dimache is the male version of Lara.

Brillant.....

bravo !

Remember Laura is the original, she sing this song waybefore Dimash!! He liked he has said in intervju he had listen to Laura a lot.

Wow! More!

Thanks for Dimash I found Lara. She is Dimash’s idol. Thank you very much 💖🇫🇮

Actually, Lara was an inspiration to Dimash so it would be Dimash has a Lara vibe. He used to listen to her music at night before sleeping.

hello Harry and Charlene. A very beautiful song by Lara Fabian (BROKEN WOW) I am French and I watch you on RU-vid. thank you very much and have a nice day. Mathias.

Lara Fabian is the best... Celine Dion should hide before her!

Lara 🔥🔥🔥

Lara Fabian - You're not from here was also damn good

she's the original singer of that song and dimash idlized her a lot

The version of Je sui malade by the Forestella group is spectacular

The most sad song ever. Lara is the Queen, Dimash the King. Lara Fabian wrothe the song for Dimash: YOUR LOVE, please check.

Last note...17 seconds straight. Not normal.Unbelievable!!!!!!!

Pausing during this song is just crazy to me

And that pianist, OMG!

You have it backwards….Dimash gets his sound/techniques from Lara. It’s been said that she was his idol growing up.

I love it when he says I’m sorry ❤ love the this reaction.

Dimash was like 6 years old when this concert was filmed...

Also, the song was performed by Dalida, worth comparing :) Different times, completely different performances

Since you mentioned the artistic commonalities with Dimash, I will mention that Lara Fabian was/is his musical idol. You might want to react to Dimash singing Qaragym ai 2020 (In a dark suit as there are two videos with the same name). It in an elogy for his professor of composition and mentor who died of COVID19. It's absolutely beautiful and absolutely gripping.

the show was filmed by public television, you can react to it to your heart's content. ;) The whole show is great and is reaction material too.

bonjour, merci pour votre vidéo.

Come on Belgium !!!!!!

Je Dios malade para mí una de las mejores cantantes que me hace verla completo horas y no me canso de ver,que Dios la bendiga Me gustaría tanto ver a Dimash interpretar je suis Málaga

rectification, Damash is the male version of Lara Fabian. it was not she who was inspired by him, but he who was inspired by her

Good choice!!!

Lara insists on "not" having her content blocked ! So, you can keep that in mind when you react to her other videos. Which I'm positive you will want to review after seeing this spectacular performance !

Teneis que escuchar Diana Navarro "El perdon" video oficial

Lara❤❤❤❤

Now that they know Lara, I would be curious to see what they think about the version of "Je suis malade" from the concert "En toute intimité". For sure it's not the version to discover Lara but when you begin to know her, this is a interesting version to look at

Sabían ustedes que Dimash es un admirador de Lara Fabián ? Gracias por reaccionar a esta gran cantante

Hello from France. I would be very happy if I could listen to Lara Fabian's song (PAR AMOUR). thanks in advance. Mathias.

Va inteleg. Este geniala, ce sa facem.....

So much passion, emotion, raw feeling. Check out Broken Vow (live) and Caruso (live). Beautiful performances.

It's hox we can share feelings in France...

Learn to listen WITHOUT interrupting your listening to the songs.

Je suppose que vous coupez dans toutes vos reactions, mais cette interpretación de Lara Fabián ne peut pas etre coupe, La chanson pert tout son potentiel

"I AM SICK" ! 😘

be careful because you have crossed a door leading to another dimension

No, Lara did not write this song, I believe it was Serge Lama, but it is regarded as the best version recorded !

mike oldfield secrets far above the clouds listen that diamond

❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

For some more French reactions, you should look into Marcia Baila by the Rita Mitsoukos. The live versions are very fine but the studio probably gives the better idea.

I hate it when people click "pause" on videos....

💖 fred. PARIS

Let's say dimash rather copies Lara and not the other way around, moreover dimash I find copying rather than interpreting with his soul, his heart, I say it because I'm a little tired of hearing dimash this dimash that! Lara is there long before dimash, he is inspired by Lara by the way and not the other way around, and finally no one can be compared to Lara, she is simply incomparable, I have never heard an artist sing with their heart and authenticity as lara does.

Dimash took this vibe from Lara .This is a Serge Lama song but lara performs it in a stelar performance. my favorite performer

Dimash has the Lara vibe not the opposite. And even if he is a amazing singer there is other elements that has to be in the bag to move me. He doesn't, Lara does! Maybe he needs some punches in life to reach her level. Thanks!

Fabian and Floor, the best singers around. She's Sicilian/Belgian. One of the best songs ever (And I'm a death metal fan). For some reason she always reminds me of Edith Piaf. (I've never listened to Dimash but heard a lot of people talking about him when they listen to her so maybe I've to start listening to him today) if you like one of the best most dramatic duets ever (and very Bonnie & Clyde-like) try: Laura Fabian & Johnny Halliday - Requiem pour un fou (with subtitles).

Je suis malade, ("I am sick"), pronounced "juh swee muh-lahd". In the song she says "muh-lahd-uh", but that's just creative license, for effect.

7:36........the transition to the a cappella sequence is stunning !......the female character in the song feels absolute despair at giving her love, her life and career as a singer to an uncaring man.......Lara is completely drained at the conclusion, she was so into the performance.....btw, she did not write this, but her interpretation is the standard

I wand to end my Life with this Song

Dimash is a huge fan of lara fabian that s why you can fell dimash

Très difficile chansons, elle la chante très très bien,je ne suis pas fan de l'ara mais elle chante très bien.

I would like you to react to a Spanish singer her name is Diana Navarro. She is a very versatile singer who sings different musical styles with a very personal voice and with an incredible melismas and capacity of air. On this occasion I recommend you the song "El perdón" (Forgiveness).

"Dimash vibes" for sure. Lara is Dimash´s inspiration. He´s spoken about her many times.

No Dimash is coping Lara Fabian. She was out long before he came around.

You would sit on the front row...for me that would be a complete emotional drain out. I would go home with red eyes no more tears left.

If you love this song, watch Emma Cerchi, voice kids France 2018, she made the judges cry

Jesuis malade is a must-see forrestella version! They are a Korean crossover group. And please react to their Queen's Bohemian Lepsodi.
