Performance Coach Reacts: Lara Fabian - You're Not From Here (First Time Reaction) 

Heavy metal fan and former musician here. Discovered her on a reaction video a few months ago. Been listening to nothing but Lara ever since. Never wanted to cry listening to any music or musician till this woman. Not to mention she has to be one of the most beautiful women on the planet.

I really like your reactions to Lara's performances. You asked a question about how many times can you be awed by someone until you'll stop being awed. Well, it was 1994 when I first saw Lara performing 'Je Suis Malade' live on a Canadian talk show. I was a 24 years old trained choir and back-up singer and Lara gave me a shock of a lifetime that morning. I was so spellbound, so floored by her performance that by the end of the song I was gasping for air like I was the one who just poured her despair out to the world. Tears were running down on my face and when my friend entered the living room she was shocked to see me in that state. Until that morning I was convinced that besides my three idols, (Barbra Streisand, Edit Piaf and Maria Callas) nobody could could move me only with a single song, that nobody could ever reach their level. On that morning my world is shifted and I became Lara's devoted fan. 26 years passed by and I have seen her perform countless times. Still, I didn't reach the point when I stopped being awed by her. Album after album, concert after concert, song after song, year after year Lara keeps me spellbound. I've been fortunate to see her live 10 times in the last 26 years. The last occasion was back in 2015 here in NYC. She was a guest performer of Maestro Igor Krutoy's concert. She was absolutely phenomenal. I was floored again as always. Because of COVID-19 Lara had to cut short of her 50th birthday celebration tour so I missed out on that one, but she'll be touring again next summer, so I'm hoping to see her again. So, my answer to your question is when it comes to Lara there is no "getting used to her voice", there is no stopping being awed by her performances. Both as an artist and as a human being, Lara is one the most incredible people who comes along only once in a millennia.

her voice is like a drug, you'll get addicted easily and never get enough of it. just love it

She leaves me breathless every time...

Lara has tha ability to make every man ( and woman) fall in love with her immediately. She IS the greatest female singer in the world. I love her.

I am addicted to her voice❤

How many times can we fall in love with Lara? Each & every single time.

Found Lara way back in 2000 and she sings songs like these with such a feeling of tragedy........a quality that few singers are able to do.

She is out of this planet....

I used to think she was the best singer on Planet Earth, but I think I was wrong. I'm pretty sure she's the best singer in the entire universe. Thanks for a heartfelt reaction. ❤

Your Lara's reaction deserves a marathon in chronologic order. Thats what i will start to do right now

This is one of the best, most sincere reaction videos I've seen in a long long time. So so beautiful

She held that last note for her life

Among all those who do reaction videos, you are one of the most sincere and genuine. No artificial reactions, just honest ones.

Thank you again Brandon, really great and she always blows me awaywith this song, I Can really feel you on this topic, I felt the same, every time her voice hits me like a lightning, her voice, I mean: "SHE'S NOT FROM HERE" 😍💞

This last note is out this world...

You can tell the difference, when some one is just singing and some one who is born to sing, there is an intangible thing you feel. That unexplainable something that reaches deep inside you.

And this smile at the rend...🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️

Hi.. Many singers cover Mrs Lara Fabian songs, but no one dares to cover You're not from here... I wonder why?🙄😅.. There's a easy answer... Because it's so hard to sing, at least so hard to match what Mrs Lara Fabian did. A beautiful lyric deserve a gorgeous voice... And that what this is. This is a good example of the time Mrs Lara Fabian "forgets to breathe" and leaves me breathless. Take care. Greetings from Portugal.

Je partage complètement votre réaction et votre analyse sur Lara. Elle est vraiment différente des autres grandes chanteuses, on ressent l'émotion, la passion dans ses performances mais surtout une intimité, une proximité avec son public.Elle est bienveillante et diffuse l'amour, la beauté, l'humanité autour d'elle. On l'adore !!

This is my message for you. I'm French, I live in Japan (for quite a while now), I have been a fan of Lara Fabian for quite a long time, but beyond that, I love your reactions, I have a lot of your sensitivity towards her, I love your personality that shows through here.

i grew up listening to the songs and i still do that in my late 40's . What is most important is that they evoke to me the same feelings as the very first time. A real gem of a person and artist!

I'm like you. Listening to others, but Lara's magnetic. I think she taps into our primal senses, and we attend to her vulnerability; Elvis had it too, it is said. Super generous reaction; Brandon!

I have watched possibly hundreds of reactions of most of Lara’s songs, purely due to the sheer effect her songs and performances have had on me since I discovered her a couple of years ago. Your reaction somehow was the one that resonates with me the most and I thank you for that. You have managed to express the awe and wonder that keeps flooring me every time I see and listen to her. And the “there she is” in the end as soon as she gets out of character and smiles, is like falling in love and suddenly realising it. Same here, man, same here…

I really liked the way you found lara. She is my most favorite not only singer , the artist of my life One of my favorite performances by lara is tango , in 2001 . I hope you like it And man I'm fabianized like you since 1999. She is the true queen of performers

I always snicker at the look on her face after she keeps this extraordinarily difficult song sounding so easy-breezy. She looks up with a cute smirk and an expression that is all: "Nailed it."

very nice reaction that's what Lara does to all her fans and yet you have not seen her in concert you would be like me completely in love 😍

She is so talented. I absolutely love her as a singer and as a performer. I highly recommend her "Perdere l'amore" version from the same concert.

I am in love with her voice, her storie telling, her song and her personality... Fan base ? Yea absolutely ! For me she a diva. Over that, I like your reactions so much, thank you !

So nice to see heart warming reactions like yours, I am proud you chose my restored version, people deserve the best of both to discover or appreciate Lara to her full extent. Please don't try again to dissolve into the fabric of your chair, we still need you around !!!

I love Lara! Thank you for reaction

Nothing to be ashamed, I have watched her concerts times and times again, still getting cold chills and goosebumps as soon as I hear her performing. Also, this concert is one of many gems in my book, because she looked so gorgeous that night, and she slayed all her vocals. But this specific song is in a league of its own during that show. It starts so softly and yet ends up so powerfully, while being on a sad-ish note. And the last note, I mean, that’s beautiful objectively.

Lara is in a league of her own, a world where no one is there except her, my wife is a big fan of Celine Dion and when she heard Lara she was mesmerized but her voice and the way she sings.

Just when you thought you were getting accustomed... so cute. You are right. We kind of think, I am immuned now with all those times we hear or view her, but we are not. Thanks for that reaction. I didn't know the song. I loved it.

Your reactions are so sincere, you can not be shy about sincere feelings, thanks to such feelings, our world is not hopeless) And thanks to people like Lara, you can live, love, believe in this world, she is the best thing that has happened to this world )

I love your reaction.I love Lara❤.Gretting from Croatia🇭🇷

Hello bonjour de la France, Lara Fabian the best pour moi la plus grande voix fan absolu. Merci de nous faire réécouter une grande dame de la chanson. Thank you

When we talk about the combination of beauty, voice, emotion and the ability to suck you in to the message of the song, well, I have never seen or heard an artist like Lara Fabian. Her voice just gets in to the bones and then it's like an emotional journey on a cloud together with her that keep you totally in the moment. Every phrase she sing you are there with her, you don't want to be anywhere else than just in that moment with her. It's just an out of the body experience. Great reaction and thanks for sharing this wonderful artist. ❤

Great reaction !!! Beautiful song, beautiful voice and beautiful lady 😍

That's my favorite from her. Thanks for your review!

Uff... ufff...ufff... te amo hermano. Amo que te emociones y que sientas en lo profundo la voz de Lara. Es una caricia para el alma, un alivio al espíritu cansado. Abrazos. Te amamos Lara. Eres la mejor.

Very insightful. That’s what I call a true reaction video. Thank you.

I don't know why, but I feel like you are my emotional big brother 😉 I am amazed by the power and subtility of your réactions ! And best of all (and that is so precious on YT) your authenticity ! -> that brings hope to what is happening and is being shared here ! Keep up the good work brother (best wishes from France 🇫🇷) And thank you God for creating Lara 🙏

thank you for your reaction. You perfectly show the same emotions and the same thoughts I have everytime I listen her singing..

Loved your reaction because is like that, when you listen to her voice and watch at her acting, dragging you into the depth of her emotions. That beautiful voice, her sensuality, is totally natural for you to lose control but she doesn't. Her breath controll is fabulous, as everything she shows as she sings the lyrics, that tell a strong story. Well, is overwhelming this great artist, so complete and though so humble.

i´ve watched her videos over and over and I still melt and get chills. To me, a sign of tremendous art and talent

Finally! Thanks for the reaction 😍😍😍😍

I'm just like you. I never have enough of her. Every day I listen to her, I watch her videos.

Wow! Your comments are so deep and so able to catch the true nature of this artist and her performance💎💕 loved this video!

Growing up in Canada Québec, for me Lara was a normal good singer that i heard on the radio every day. Im so glad that i saw all your videos about Lara ,from your point of view. Made me rediscover her real talent as a performer. Now im looking frantically for her (From lara with live DVD) Tx !! Keep up the goosebumps !

She does looks like it's so easy, but we know how hard it takes to... 5 stars level.

Yeahhhhh ! Great reaction ! Thank you 😉👍

Thanks for reacting to Lara one more time ❤️. Greetings from Argentina

Muy buena reacción, David Foster dijo algo así, hay un montón de grandes cantantes, Lara esta encima de ese montón.

Love your reactions to Lara ❤ Love Lara ❤ Love from Denmark ❤

She understands the emotions behind the song, she commits to allowing those emotions to emerge from within her own spirit and shares them with us honestly, she lets us in, she is accessible. She has deep empathy for truth of life, her heart is huge and she generously gives of it. We are fortunate because she means for each of us to keep some of for ourselves, to add to the love that we have to give. so that we have a little extra to share with another, and another. So much we gain from these simple honest moments… Thanks Lara

Man. I love your comments! Thank you! And... feel free to back up a bit after each pause, or whenever you feel like seeing/hearing smth repeatedly :) Also, I have to brag a bit - got the tickets for her concert in October, hope it will not be cancelled or postponed again

Lara sang this song only twice (as far as we know). It's hard song to sing. I suggest any song from "En toute intimite" concert that is, for me, her best one. "Je suis mon coeur" from that concert is amazing underrated song that makes me tear up every time

Oh yes Tango is 🤯 and also Immortelle from the concert in France 2001, there are two version. The first one is with the piano and the second one is with the normal instrumental. Both versions are amazing

I’m so glad you finally reacted to this, I was floored when I first saw this man! You should definitely react to her version of “The Prayer”.

That's my favorite performance of Lara. And that is saying a lot because her performances in this particular concert are simply magnificent and masterful. Yeah, jaw dropping on the floor fantastic! Glad you are going on this journey 😊

Es hermoso escuchar disfrutarla en italiano en francés en inglés tiene una voz muy potente y la controla bastante bien.

the Song what she heard with 5 years in the car was "Le matin sur la rivière" by Eve Brenner. Its a old song from the 70s but very good.

I love this song I love this performance and I love this video 😍 I liked it as soon as it started 😂

lara is a god.....love her voice...great reaction

Another great reaction video! I've probably watched some of these performances 50 times or more and every time.....every single time.... just like you, I become an emotional mess. Every time is like the first time. And I still cant believe this is 20 years old and I only discovered her a few months ago! Thank you.

They lyrics she writes are often as good as her amazing voice. She always has control when she sings. She does things vocally that most people don't and cant' do. The song is soft, it gets more and more intense. The ending is unbelievable. I fell in love with this song as part of the music playing, and I fell hard. It turned out to be a nightmare. I couldn't let go of this music, and I realized at some point that if I kept listening to her that it would either kill me or heal me. I got through it...

Lara Fabian is one of the interpreters that Dimash admires the most. The best are always inspired by the best !!!! "Ti amo cosi" performed by Dimash, Lara Fabian and Aída Garifullina.

thank you for pronouncing it correctly! you are the only one who has done reaction on her to speak it correctly!

Hello. Thank you for your sincere reaction. This song is actually amazing: the Lyrics are very touching. Unfortunately, her French songs are not as famous as they should be: eventhough she can write in many languages, her French songs contains the most subtle and touching meanings. "Ici", "La différence", "Je suis ton coeur", "Je suis ton autre", "La lettre", "Un Ave Maria", "Bambina", "Urgent désir", "Pas sans toi",... are great songs

Love your reactions. Thank you so much.

Lara fabian una voz hermosa esta canción hermosa , tremenda intérprete con una voz cálida majestuosa y tan potente ..

My very favorite 💞 I love, love and agree with your reaction!!

❤❤❤thank you so much

That sequence of belts towards the end, omg. That concert was really one of many vocal showcases she had put out.

I came across this young lady whilst searching for another artist singing a song entitled Adagio. A marvel manifest. This is my favourite song. So pure. An unbridled journey of depth and emotion. And you, sir. Your reaction. So naked, so exposed. An unashamed display utter surrender, allowing yourself to feel so deeply. Thank you for sharing. Hugs from Yorkshire, UK.

This song so cosmic and emotional. And I flyyyyyy

Thank you thank you!!! I was having such a gloomy Monday but this is just what I needed!! I love your Lara reactions and check all the time for them and was so happy to see this one! This song is of course STUNNING! (As always lol) I cannot wait for you to get to her Mademoiselle Zhivago album. It’s my favourite!! I can’t wait to see more! Have a great day and thanks for cheering me up! Lol

How can anyone NOT be a fan of Lara!! 😉 She rocks it ❤️

I agree, it's my favorite of her!

My favorite song of hers ♥️

Love your reaction to Lara and your choice of background music when you pause and give commentary. Aerith's Theme from FF7 Remake is amazing as well as that game!! Looking forward to more reactions!

Great stuff. I am with you. Discovered her just a year ago and hundreds of listens across dozens of songs and I am still in awe.

Hi High!I watched more of your channel already. Excellent work! It's elegant! Straight A grades! 1 like for you. Caryn!

I remember when this came out a friend had it in her car. I couldnt drive. I had to pull over. Hit me just as hard now. ty for taking time to review a bunch of her music/artwork : Revisit days later... going through the videos on youtube, every time i keep playing these over and feel like im getting punched in the chest by a gorilla. My mouth hangs open, my heart whats left of it after decades is just literally saying everytime i hear one of your songs another piece of me fades and i dont care. with all the bad in the world, and dealing with so many issues with anxiety, depression, and not knowing how i make it through some days, music is the great equalizer. We are in a blessed yet jagged time in which we can rediscover and on the other hand can watch it slip right through our fingers like sand. Some of these songs of her, good grief its like heaven and the very core of the earth open up and right in the middle of them meeting is Lara... from the voice to the emotion, it means nothing, but means everything that you have comments turned on. i wish you all good going forward with your channel.

Vous êtes ému et touché par cette voix majestueuse. 💖 Où qu’elle soit, Mme Lara Fabian nous chante de tout son amour , elle dépose son Âme sur la scène ♥️ Lara est entré dans ma vie, il y’a déjà presque 30 ans. Merci Lara Fabian pour tout ♥️ Je t’aime 🫶

I’m definitely a fan now! I just discovered you and I’m so glad I did! Your reaction to her is priceless and heartfelt

Great review!

I can listen to the sequence 06:06 - 06:22 dozens of times in a row. It's SO beautiful!

Cette chanson a plus de 20 ans et elle est toujours puissante.

This is the first time I saw a reaction that matches mine. My favorite also!!

I came across this song & Lara from a beautiful video of a collection of Outlander scenes & I have to listen to it everyday, it breathes love into my soul. 🙏🏼 What an amazing voice & soul. STUNNING LARA 💃🏻🧡

Lara fabian the Best voice🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

I liked your reactions to one of my idols, Lara Fabian... the same thing happens to you as it does to me, because I'm sure I'm not surprised and suddenly something about what she does jumps out at me and I fall flat at her feet. It's incredible how she interprets, she not only sings, she INTERPRETS. She makes the songs her own, even those she has not composed, such as Lucio Dalla's Caruso. He is incredible and continues to teach how to interpret every time he appears on stage.

Man thanks a lot for you'r great video's and I'm a new member of you'r Chanel and yesss I am a big fan of LARA FABIAN she's incredible , glad you share the same émotion , sorry for my bad English I'm French

„OMG Woman breath!” 😂❤ I love your reactions at each of Lara’s performance❤ They are so sincere and focused not only on her great vocals, but on her emotional artistry. One more thing that I’ve just wanted to point out: I love/adore your amazing eyes Brandon, there is something so, soooo captivating😍😇 Greetings from the biggest fan of your YTchannel here in Poland. Hugs. Dawid 🤗💙

Hi sir, so you understand a little more the background of her story (that she put here almost too nicely)... Her father played the guitar. The LAST thing her mother wanted her little Lara to become as an adult was a ... musician. Hence the way the father put it to "Loulou, we have a problem...". The mother had a problem :) Even the father used rougher words at the time when Lara said "I am a singer"... But Lara would not change course... Lara never 'dreamed' of being a singer ; she was a singer, and she was incredibly aware of her Destiny.

I love this song a lot. I want to say thank you as you tell me how to express the exact feeling in English😃

Salut , la prochaine si tu veux peut être "Ascolte la voxe", Là Lara ne dit pas un mot , juste de temps en temps le titre, le reste n'est que vocalise (Lara devient un instrument de musique comme l'orchestre qui l'accompagne) . Il existe aussi sur YT un duo virtuel avec Dimash ( Know) qui est très bien fait ( avec quelques années d'écart) et on comprends pourquoi Dimash est fan de Lara. sans texte ,dans la version de Lara, on voit le talent de Lara a émouvoir lde façon incomparable juste avec le son de sa voix,un salut du sud de la France,André

Hello, the next one if you want can be "Ascolte la voxe", There Lara does not say a word, just from time to time the title, the rest is only vocalization (Lara becomes a musical instrument like the orchestra which accompanies it). There is also on YT a virtual duo with Dimash (Know) which is very well done (with a few years apart) and we understand why Dimash is a fan of Lara. without text, in Lara's version, we see Lara's talent moved her in an incomparable way just with the sound of her voice, a greeting from the south of France, André
