PRO SINGER'S first REACTION to LARA FABIAN - Je Suis Malade 

Anyone who doesn't get chills from this performance by Lara is most likely dead!

This performance is a master class in emoting, story telling and vocal ability. One of my all time favorite songs.

I just discovered her about two days ago and have now watched her perform this song over 20 times. WOW! Amazing A masterpiece.

Everything about Lara is a master class....shes such a performer. She feels every word that she sings and its absolutely awe inspiring.

Still gives me the chills. Every time. And I have listened to this song about 50 times.

I understand why exactly Lara is an idol for DIMASH

Lara not only sings,she lives emotionally this song,a cocktail of sadness,resignation,anger,and those voice transitions from low to high without a wrinkle moving on her face,that sigh after almost every lyric,and final,she stays almost 1 minute in that story of the song until she interacts again,with the audience!!! Great voice,i love her!

Andre U said it best. To describe Lara as a "singer" is to understate her real ability. Lara describes herself as a songwriter with a voice. Andre describes her as a storyteller with a voice. would describe her as a word painter.

Lara is an exceptional vocalist that coveys emotion into every performance as none other! This achievement is even more remarkable as she manages this feat in a dozen languages. She is fluent in French, Italian, English & Spanish, born in Belgium (dad), first six years in Sicily (mom). Moving to Montreal (Canada) in the early 90s, where she began her international career, became a Canadian citizen and still lives here with her family. Check out her: Caruso, Addagio (English or Italian), Broken Vow amongst others.

Lara fabian..... Fabulous singer, amazing music story teller

"Chills" are what music is all about. An emotional connection and without that it's just an exercise. Vocal technique is very interesting and I love it. But, it's just a tool to create chills.

So glad that I found Lara Fabian on RU-vid- one of my most favorite singers. She lives each song with such emotion. One thing she does that enhances her performance to tell the story more so than a lot of other singers is that she expresses herself with her body as well as her voice.

Her capacity to transmit emotion is unbelievable

Loved your reaction to Lara,I am a fan off here for 30 years,she was born in Belgium and i am Belgian to😉 Thank you👌

Sounds crazy to discover the one and only Lara Fabian in .....2021, but better late than never ;). Welcome to Lara's world. Please comment "Adagio", "Requiem pour un fou", "Broken vow", "You're not from here", "Love by grace", "Caruso", "Perdere l'amore", "Quedate", "Calling you" , "Always" etc...Merci! Lara Fabian could have been a superstar worldwide (and in the USA in particular), she confessed last year in Canada where she lives, the reason why she didn't make it in the USA. At the time, she and Céline Dion had the same music company (Sony), Céline was already a star in America, when Lara had just arrived. Lara revealed that Céline Dion's team (not Céline herself) did everything to sink her/sabotage her career as Lara had the whole package to also become an immense star in America, and worldwide. The music company didn't want another huge voice to compete with Céline's, and instead of supporting her, of supporting her style of music/songs (such as 'Love by Grace'), Lara was forced to leave it for another company and forced to change her professional team. As a result, it was all over, the other company formated Lara to make her sing pop songs such as "I will love again", a style of music/songs for which Lara and her stunning voice weren't made for, they also wanted her to lose 20 kilos and asked her to go blond. Such a waste, as she should be as famous and successful as Céline or Mariah Carey today. Having said that, she has a lot of respect & admiration for Céline Dion, and is very happy with her great career. Her idol remains Barbara Streisand. (Funny anectote here about her : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-auc0X3AV8fw.html )

I like your reaction, pretty much everyone has the same feelings. Lara Fabian was born to a Belgian father and a Sicilian mother and she sings in 12 languages. If you want to see extraordinary performances look in the show From Lara With Love. ADAGIO, CARUSO, BROKEN VOW and the song that dominates everything, PERDERE L'AMORE. Thank you from Montreal.

Salut Danny, bien venu dans le merveilleux monde de l'interprétation de Lara,elle ne chante pas, elle vous raconte les histoire en chantant, et en plus elle le fait ,en français,anglais ,italien, espagnol,portugais, et quelques autres et toujours dans le respect de la langue,et surtout de l'émotion.un grand salut du sud de la france ,André

Great to hear your reaction, particularly since the music was not your type, you were moved more by her interpretation and her voice. Thanks for that!

The atmosphere and performance of this song is something unique that Lara Fabian is capable of

Lara Fabian is the quintessential singer of the chanson genre, a style pretty much unique to France and Québec(where she lives.) I've been a fan for over thirty years-- hers is one of the top five voices on the planet.

She is one of Dimash's greatest examples. He sang Ti Amo Cosi together with her and Aïda Garifullina.

Danny...I'm a big Lara Fabian fan and know how much she "inhabits" a song and how powerful she is as a singer & performer. So, when I read your usual standard you go by "Can she move me?" I just blurted out, "Oh, Danny, be ready to be moved." Before I watched your reaction. BTW, Lara Fabian was one of Dimash's biggest idols and influences when he was growing up, and at age 25 he finally got to meet her & sing with her at a big event. You can see that performance on You Tube "Ti Amo Cosi" with Dimash, Lara Fabian, and Aida Garilufina.

She's formidable. So much passion on stage.

Lara is a queen. And her singing always touches my heart.

I’ve watched probably 30 reaction videos to this song and you are the first to speak of the obvious which is the chill factor. I get them at all the exact same places you were and one of the reasons i listen to it so much. I honestly think chills are our souls connection to the emotion of a song. Not to get too spiritual here but for me songs that bring that type of reaction prove the existence of chakras and the “energy” that flows through is which is love. This song creates that feeling clear through the body at least in those of us that another commenter stated are not completely dead. Lol

An extremly beautiful song. French language is perfect for this song. What a wonderful language. She did a great job, really...

The moment AFTER the song was over... So few notice how she returns to the here and now, from that dark place where this song takes place... A performance so rare, and beautiful. What an enormous talent!

Her Italian is also brilliant. Have a look at her version of "Caruso". Same chills guaranteed

now this performance should be in every vocal master class on the planet...thats how you sing people😍

You remain speechless as the end of such a performance. She is the most talented French singer. She is an angel. Pure perfection.

Dimash has so much respect for her. I’m glad he got to sing with her. She’s amazing. Look for the video. Good reaction.

Je suis belge, comme Lara. Je ne parle pas anglais. Mais j'espère que vous comprendrez. Votre émotion se voyait.... cette chanson a été une thérapie face à un grand drame.... Cette chanson n'est pas une chanson... C'est un cauchemar vécu. Vous êtes chanteur et vous l'avez compris. Merci à vous. Merci pour elle... 🇧🇪

This song was originally written and sung by Serge Lama (it is an actual story where he, already married, fell crazy in love with a woman whom was also married) - I think he would be so proud..She nailed it!!!

The meaning of the lyrics makes it more Intense and emotional. Incredible

Lara is amazing and so underrated in the englishspeaking world. I had not heard of her until I found Dimash and it is so obvious why she is an inspiration to him and why Dimash was allowed to cover some of the songs Igor Krutoy wrote for Lara. Such storytelling and being completely living the song added to amazing vocal technics. If you listen to the song Your Love by Dimash, the composer is Igor Krutoy and the lyricist is Lara Fabian. Wanna give wifey more operatic chills? Choose Ti Amo Cosi with Lara and Dimash together with soprano Aida Garifullina. (But i actually think the duo Ulysse with Dimash and Aida is even more beautiful). Ha det bra!

Lara is among the best of the best emotional singer. she communicates with her audiences like few can emotionally. great song writen and composed by Serge Lama

This is such an amazing performance. It makes me emotional and I watched it many many times ❤

💕💕💕 *Une pensée pour tous les êtres vivants qui souffrent* , la musique est universelle, elle nous rappelle à chaque fois que l'on est *tous semblables* , que l'on souhaite tous *vaincre la souffrance et atteindre le bonheur authentique et inaltérable* , c'est *mon voeux le plus cher* , de toute ma vie, pour tous les êtres vivants sans exception. *Merci d'avoir créé cette magnifique vidéo* 💕💕💕

Je pleure comme une madeleine! Merci Serge Lama pour ce chef d'œuvre, Merci Lara pour toutes ces émotions

Lara Fabian - Dimash "Adagio", Celin Dion - Dimash " All ByMyself" end "My heart will go on".

She is an incredible singer... If you want more of her, you can react to "Adagio" and "Caruso", stunning performances !

Welcome to Lara's life and songs!..One of the best singers of all times!..For those who know Lara since long time ago, we know her potential and the unfaiir way of having been swept away from world music recognition( celine's staff was involved)...Lara is a multilingual singer and after 20 years of that video and 30 years of career, Lara is still an amazing singer and is now that many people is awaring of her talent!..

Chills are the sign of a good emotional performer. when the singer can make the listeners feel the chills that is a successfull performer. Lara masters emotional songs what a voice

Lara Fabian is an incredible talent. Je Suis Malade is up there with her version of Caruso.

Are chills not just the vibrations of the music touching your soul, so yes very important.

Why has it taken RU-vid this long to get how super fantastic this lady singer is ? I have been listening to her for years. She is phenomenal.. 👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧

I would say that chills are very much important, it suggests rather than just simply listening to the song, you are feeling it and having a physical/emotional reaction and the singer is properly conveying the emotions of the song.

I love how i didnt expect your reaction on this song as it’s not your style. I also loved that we get chills, smiles at the exact same moments of the song, except i also felt tears coming ! Thank you for this video reaction

это высшее исполнение -душа поет плачет кричит..Великая ЛАРА❤❤❤СПАСИБО👍👍👍

That line when she says she's like a dead bird and drags that thumb across her throat stands out, as well as that line about clinging to him, you can HEAR the tears in her voice. The whole performance is great, but those are two of my favorite moments if you will... Amazing song, amazing singer AND performer. What makes it even more awesome is how into it she is at the end, despite it being a cover!

thanks for responding to lara fabian. if it is a discovery, it is a new universe which opens up to you if you deign to settle there for a moment. objectively, making a list of his performances and interpretations would be useless as it is often breathtaking. good discoveries. take care of yourself, yours

This performance is brilliant!! Masterclass! ❤

Big big thank you for reacting to Lara's version of Je Suis Malade, particularly that one! It's an old French classic, but Lara made it her own, and in my opinion, this is the best version of that song ever. Btw, l suggest you to check out Caruso by Lara as well. Cheers!

Yes, chills all over…and every single time I hear her sing ,,,

Saw her 2vtimes in show and she is dying when she sing that song. Amazing

"Adagio" I love this song's words, they're beautiful, yet eccentric. There's also one of her, going through a lot of pain, and the audience takes over. It's gorgeous, I think. Please.

I’m French and this song was originally written and performed by Serge Lama. They even did an epic duet together. One of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard, it always makes me cry. 😭

There is actually a duet, or two, with Lara & Dimash😍They sing really beautiful together! And for your wife there is even a duet with both Lara, Dimash and Aida Garifullina! They are soooo good! 😍🤩

Hi DANNY and welcome to Lara FABIAN and french songs good explanations very brilliant comments.Thanks for this good moments.HELLO from PARIS.

That was her from Lara with Love Tour in the 2000’s. Check also Caruso and Adagio and Je t’aime performance whit the crowd. Truly amazing!😊❤

Hello Danny, Your band is very good. Thanks for this reaction to a French song so incredible. All person who've feel one time in his/her life what's described have a chance to cry in listening this song. Because never has a song described so well what it feels like to be separated from a person you love and how it eats you every second of your life. So much so that it completely fills you, and, paradoxically, so much does it empty you at the same time. As this song is taken from a true story, I can imagine the very cruel irony it was for the lyrics author and first performer of this song to actually hear words of his song on the radio, when he still suffered from the lack of the loved one of whom this song was about, a sort of mirror reflection effect in the mirror and which thus multiplies the image to infinity. What a paradox for him this happiness to hear that his song was broadcast on the radio, then was even masterfully covered (first by Dalida, later and still better by Lara in this video) and at the same time which brought him back to this person whom he still secretly loved and from whom he was separated. . To have also predicted it in the lyrics of the song is absolutely incredible and at the same time the mark of genius. Fortunately, fairy tales can sometimes be transposed to real life, since Serge Lama found this woman he loved so much ten years later. That they got together. That they had a baby boy and that they lived together until the end of her life. Serge Lama is old now (78 yrs) and I wish him the more long life it can be. But I already can say that thanks to this song and all this reaction videos across entire World (and so thanks to internet), he's entered in World song History and for that will be never forgotten. Amitiés from South France,

Dimash inspiring singer and Dimash song writer Lara Fabian

in france, we love lara fabian!!! it's a beautiful women, perfomer, singer, mother!!!!

The fact this originally male song initially performed by Serge Lama in 1970's makes this interpretation even more amazing (can't find the right word). Lara is best female vocalist i've ever heard in my life.

One of the best live performances ever. Period. Please react to Broken Vow next. Unbelievable

C'est la perfection son interprétation.. Bravo à elle de donner tant d'émotions ! (et de frissons aussi)

Fantastic lyrics, worth checking out a version with subtitles.

hello from Avignon - France, this song was writting by Mister Serges Lama and music composed by Miss Alice Donnat in 1973. Lara is not my "favourite" singer (it's anneke van griesbergen) but this song is a masterpiece : she is the woman in the song wh'os sick and suffering for love, at the end she looks really exhausted... you can try other wonderful songs like : "The Eye of Love" with Noa live in trocadero or "Je suis ton autre" with Maurane... beautiful duets if you want to discover other french singers, may I suggest you : Daniel Balavoine : tous les cris les SOS - He sang in 1979, before Dimash : "SOS d'un terrien en détresse" - in Starmania the Opera Rock show Jean Jacques Goldman : "Ensembles" (a canon song), or "Juste Après"..... he's the greatest composer in France since 1980 he's composed for Céline Dion many times Renaud "Mistral gagnant" or "Morgan de toi".. those songs are so beautiful because of the lyrics, you have to translate them. Have a great day.

Love your reactions

I’m really happy you loved Lara 🙏🏻 following this CARUSO and ADAGIO is a must from Lara live 😉 looking forward

Love this soulful song from this singer❤

😲🥺 chills = the physical body reacting to emotion, not just temperature!

Great song and a great interpretation. Lara Fabian outdid herself here. I get chills and I've heard this song since I was about 8 years old. I like the idea of a "chill-o-meter"!

Fortunately, they have lots of versions with English subtitles. Thanks for the reaction, Danny.

That my friend was an interpretation masterclass!

Glad you discovered Lara also Great this Greetings from a Dutch man

Thank you 👍🇷🇺❤️

Je suis malade (song) The real story of the song When the song was written, Lara Fabian was only 3 years old. Je suis malade is a song by Serge Lama, released in 1973 as a single and on the album Je suis malade. Written by Serge Lama on a music composed by Alice Dona, the song became the most emblematic title of the repertoire of Serge Lama who regularly takes it on stage 3. History The song Je suis malade was inspired by a real heartbreak of Serge Lama, the story of a long secret relationship. In 1969, the singer met Michèle Potier in Chamonix. Love was a certainty, but neither of them was free: he had married Daisy Brun, his press agent, in 1968, and she was married and had a son. They love each other in secret for several years and promise to regain their freedom, but Michèle hesitates and finally flees him and settles in Morocco for professional reasons. Lama is desperate, he wants to put words on his pain without succeeding, until the day he confides in his friend Alice Dona: "this story hurts me, it makes me sick. Back home, at the piano, Alice Dona, composes in a few hours a melody [...], that very quickly, she makes the singer listen. It was a revelation and Serge Lama wrote almost the entire text in one go. He will say later "The 80% of the song I wrote in 20 minutes, it's almost a shame [...] it came out of my heart so much that I [...] immediately felt that this song had something that the others didn't have". However, nothing is done. His record company Philips does not believe in the song and to impose it Lama threatens to leave if he is refused to record it3. He wins his case and soon Je suis malade is released as a single. Unfortunately, the radio programmers prefer the B side, the lively and cheerful song Les P'tites Femmes de Pigalle which becomes a hit6. At every opportunity, however, Lama sings Je suis malade, on television, on stage [...], recognition will come, not (in this period), through him, but from a cover by Dalida very touched by the subject of the song and whose inspired and desperate interpretation will seduce the public. After that, Serge Lama's popularity was turned upside down and he definitely became a recognized and popular singer-songwriter4. Many years later, the artist confides: "An LP of Serge Lama at the time it was worth 4000-5000 albums [...] But after Les Ballons rougesNote 1 it is 1 million4." Recognition came for the creator of Je suis malade, in 1974, when one evening on the stage of the Olympia in Paris, Serge Lama completed the song by interpreting it without a microphone a cappella in front of an audience conquered by a triumph. Another happiness, the return of Michele, free and together, they give birth to a boy named Frederic in 1981 and marry ten years later8. Michèle died in 2016 at 71 years, victim of a stroke9. Her death gives the song another dimension, Lama who has not given up singing it on stage says: "Every night when this song comes, I know it is an obstacle that must be jumped [...], it usually takes me a minute to recover [...], this song deserves to be given everything". Words on behalf of the father Je suis malade is doubly autobiographical for the singer-songwriter who includes in this story of desperate love feelings from his childhood. The anger, the suffering that Serge Lama expresses with the verses "I am sick as when my mother went out in the evening, And that she left me alone with my despair" or "I am like an orphan in a dormitory". These words to the attention of his lover to whom he reproaches his decline, it is in fact to his mother that he addresses them, casting himself in the skin of his father, formerly a singer of operetta in search of success, who, pushed by his wife, gave up his career [...]. This father to whom Lama "lends his voice" when he claims: "You deprived me of all my songs, You emptied me of all my words, Yet I had talent before your skin. This period of his childhood, Lama has already evoked it in the song half sweet and half bitter Le temps de la rengaine (in 1968 it opens the album D'aventures en aventures): "[...] Mama dreamed that she had a real kitchen, While Daddy was barking at the Capucines, It was a nice time that this time [...], One day daddy sold margarine, So that mommy could sing in her kitchen, It was a hard time that time, I have tears in my eyes when I think of all that". Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

If you don't get chills of this you're probably 10 feet under. To be honest , I have been moved by singers but she is extraordinary. Keep it up. Nice chilly reaction!

Kring 1999 hörde jag Laura Fabian sjunga Adiago, det var första gången. Fantastisk röst!

Oh wow, Eskobar! Used to play "someone new" on a loop :D

Kudos the audio engineers, capturing every nuance of her quietest passages.

LOL - if there was a chillmeter she'd most likely make the mercury blast through the scale ;-) This is most likely the 20th time I've heard this - and I get watery eyes and goosebumps every - single - time. Sung with such honesty and delivery ... wow!

Chills are always good, I agree, chills for me are the "it" factor 👍👍👍

Danny please come back! You haven’t posted in awhile… Always enjoyed your honesty

Je suis malade est une chanson de Serge Lama, sortie en 1973 en single et sur l'album Je suis malade. Écrite par Serge Lama sur une musique composée par Alice Dona, la chanson devient le titre le plus emblématique du répertoire de Serge Lama qui régulièrement la reprend sur scène...La chanson Je suis malade est inspirée d'un vrai chagrin d'amour de Serge Lama, l'histoire d'une relation longtemps secrète.

this song " je suis malade" written in 1973 by Serge Lama its Author and interpreter and Alice Donna its composer is here perfectly interpreted by Lara Fabian. What gives me the most pleasure is to see the surprise in the eyes and the closed face open with a smile. When a song is good and performed well, it's this reaction that comes first.

❤️ Ohhh this song ohh Lara...and this performans. I find you, because you made Dimash reaction video, since this time i listen you, your band on Spotify, and Lara my favorite woman artist, i know her, because Dimash said, she is his idol...what a wonderful life! How much great, dear artist are living in it! 😃 Im so happy! Love and hug! Thanks

Awesome ♥️

Chillmeter is the best idea for quite some time. Perfectly encapsulates the true experience of this performance and song. Good job mate

Hola saludos desde Barcelona 👋 Adoro a Lara la descubrí gracias a Dimash, el es un autentico fan de Lara, desde pequeño soñó cantar algún dia con ella...y lo hizo : en "Ti amo cosi" cantan a trio junto a Aida Garifullina, primer soprano de la opera de Viena. Lara Fabian es la autora de la letra de la canción "Your Love" ella la escribió para Dimash. Reacciona a sus canciones: Broken Vow Caruso You'r not from here Je t'aime Adagio (ella compuso la letra de esta obra de Albinoni)

Adagio this same concert🙌🔥☄️💥🌟

It was films in 2000 when she was about 30 today she is 51

Huge goose bumps!!!

You are your own chillometer ⚡️ Just your reaction is enough 🌝

Completely different. But totally worth it! Ayreon - The day that the world breaks down

You're right... If you get chills, that means a lot

Je suis malade means I am sick..but when you listen to the song it's all about the sickness of a love relationship xx

Great song! The emotion Lara puts in all her performances is just amazing.Try "requiem pour un fou" a duet with Johnny Hallyday.it gives me shivers every time.or "Adagio" she wrote the lyrics btw. As a sign of respect to you as a singer with Escobar,I listened to your playlist.beautiful songs,my friend.thank you👏

Love it Lara Fabian ❤️❤️❤️
