World's first reaction - Je suis malade - Lara Fabian 

This has been the greatest vocal performance ever done by anyone ever. Nobody will ever top this. Nobody. It’s vocals, it’s emotion, it’s control, it’s timing, it’s tone, it’s storytelling, it’s effortless perfection.

She deserves every praise: that performance is a masterpiece of singing and of passion. Long Live Lara Fabian! Queen of Hearts!!!!

I can’t speak French, but I understood every word through her emotions, absolutely beautiful !

There is no one in this entire world that can sing this song better that Lara Fabian. She is unique and 100% truly singer and beside she is so beautiful that make you listen every second and look ate her every second of this song!

When I started to learn french, my teacher put this video in my class and some of my classmates went into tears. She got me chills and at the end nobody could even say a word. That was out of this world.

Je suis en train de pleurer comme un bébé... et pourtant à plus de 60 ans je l’ai entendue des centaines de fois cette chanson... mais son interprétation est unique ! Tant de finesse, de puissance, de sentiments... un chef-d’oeuvre !

She deserves sooooo much more recognition than she gets! I’ve never heard anything like this performance before! It’s breathtaking, jaw-dropping. She’s one of the biggest stars to ever exist!

I´m German and i don´t understand one word, but i´m sitting here in front of my laptop and i´m crying........love SHE!!!!!!

Without RU-vid bringing these videos to us 20 years from time of performance, most of us would never know about this super talent. So the internet is good for something 😍

En 1973 lorsque Serge Lama a sorti cette chanson, je pleurais d émotion à chaque fois que j écoutais......j avais 30 ans..... Aujourd'hui j ai 77 ans et l interprétation de Lara Fabian me donne autant d émotions qu'à '' '' '' L epoque''' '' '' 'quelle interprète..... Quelle merveilleuse interprète.. Merci pour ce souvenir magique... Merci pour Serge qui fut et reste un immence artiste... ❤️😪🧓📀💽📺🎼

Complètement habitée, la plus belle et sincère interprétation jamais vu pour ma part. Sans parler de la performance vocale extraordinaire. Frissons ❤

La chanson « Je suis malade » de Lara Fabian est une œuvre parfaite que personne n'a jamais chantée à ce niveau, et elle ne sera plus jamais chantée à ce niveau. J'écoute cette chanson tout le temps car elle a le pouvoir d'attirer l'attention des gens. Inclinons-nous devant le grand art. Merci beaucoup Lara. Vivez longtemps, soyez en bonne santé.

This is the way I watch Lara Fabian perform -- via other people's reactions.

3:51 best reaction! She is a sensitive soul

Hands down one of the greatest live performances of all times. The control, the range, the technique, everything is flawless. But then there's that extra but of magic, the way she simply is the song. Quite astonishing. Also, those lyrics... damn... Those lyrics are hauntingly beautiful. Absolute poetry.

Le français est ma langue maternelle. Vous n’avez pas idée de la puissance des mots. Chaque inflection, chaque silence entre les mots, chaque montée en puissance est comme une vague gigantesque qui vous ouvre le cœur. Je suis en larme à chaque écoute.

Lara saw this video because her dad sent it to her (it's also on facebook?) ! Altough she doesnt like to watch herself she was touched👏👏👏

There should be a warning before listening this performance. Now i have to recover 3 days.

Greatest Performance Ever. How many people here have watched this masterpiece over and over and have lost count ? I am in the 500+ range so far and stills hits the soul the same . There are some artists out there that have certain traits that puts them at the top of their game but there is no one that can top Lara Fabian . Towing that fine line between the low and high notes and singing from the soul puts her in a league of her own. Lara Fabian a gift to the world 🌎 💯😂

Cette chanson me fait pleurer elle l'interprète d'une façon si réaliste

When you understand the depth and passion of a song even though you can't understand one word. A true artist

3:04 Ce moment où elle chante "cet amour me tue" est l'une des choses les plus douces et mélodieuses que j'ai pu entendre en chanson...

This is the definition of eargasm,a true unparallel unique masterpiece,definetely a performance that has no match ever and forever.Lara Fabian,can't thank you enough,you are an angel!!

A masterpiece among masterpiece.. she literally lived her pain right there on stage... as if She focused all her energy in each and every word which she sings with such a natural feeling at the very right note... A legendary performance.... Every broken-hearted person will understand every moment of her song... so powerful... It's like a movie, you can feel the loneliness, the screams of pain in the dark , the broken heart so desperate, Oufff..

Let them play this for me at the funeral .

Lara doesn't invade, she takes over the heart ♥

Man I'm fucking crying, I'm a grown ass man and this is the first time I cried listening to a song. DAMMIT!

A marvellous french song...... and a talented Lara which give all magic words all theirs sense,a magnificient voice of our generation....and for future

Beaucoup d'intensité dans cette version! Ca la rend plus triste que la version de Serge Lama, qui l'est déjà pas mal

This is a first time I listened to this song with lyrics. I realized how close to the point my feelings used to be before, when I didn't know what she sings about. Bravo!

Omg, the thing she told about the language barrier… it resonates so much with me. I’m a Ukrainian immigrant living in England and sometimes during my performances people ask me to do some songs in my language. I always did my favourite folk songs that are usually quite tragic, especially these days. And I was shocked when some people started tearing up. The language barrier does not limit sincere emotions, that’s so true and I’m so thankful for those words.

This woman sings so beautiful and harmony,,such a flawless voice,,i put her one of the best singer around,,she sings so pretty...its shame she should be so big in America..

I start crying and don´t kow why. Look at the way she performs, oh my God, she moves so many things inside of me.

I have listened to this song literally hundreds, if not thousands, of times - this version and many others. Yet, seeing peoples reactions to their first time hearing it brought back that experience for myself. Lara Fabian is one of a kind and her voice is a gift to us all.

Quelle émotion personne ne pourra rester indifférent à une telle performance vocale c’est vraiment une artiste exceptionnelle !!

I wrote a comment and deleted it. No words could describe well enough the feeling that this performance evokes...Cheers, Lara! You are one of a kind!

The first time I heard it...she brought me in 2 seconds to tears...it went straight to my heart...one of the best Singers on this Earth...what a voice!

The people who were there that night during this performance are so lucky. I would give anything to see her perform live. She's an outstanding singer, who sings with her heart and soul. It just shows how music can be understood by everyone regardless of what language you speak.

Her version of this song packs a punch, no matter how often I come across this video...!

merci Mr Lama d'avoir ce talent d'écriture,.

She's simply the best performer in the world!

I was born in France, raised up for 21 years there then moved to Spain where i'm living for 26 years now. The way she sings leave me speechless, really moving and emocional. What a voice. Unique. Only a few can sing like that. Brilliant. WOW

She sings so beautifully un every language Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, English and she does write the songs in those languages.

What voice and what feeling does this young woman manage to convey when she sings. Phenomenal.

I just love this great great singer. Finding her is like discovering gold.

Hey, Lara, i have to go sleep tonight. I have been listening to this song twelwe time in a row already...

Oh yes, I remember, trembling in the knees, the first time... And goosebumps all over my body

I cannot believe so many people are so uncultured that they do not know this masterpiece...I am from Bangladesh and I know this song from my dad back when i was just 10 yrs old in the late 2002...I cannot FATHOM this!!

This is one of the most magnificent performances. I had chills completely.

😲🥺🤯😢👏. See Lara Fabian - je t'aime live in Paris - when the whole hall began to sing to support Lara!

Tellement emotif.C'est une tres bonne chanteuse. JE I AIME.

Une chanson magnifique, qui mieux que Lara Fabian pour interpréter celle-ci ? Hallucinante, cette voix !

Lara Fabian the most expressive french speaking singer, worldwide!

One of the most talented belgian artist 🇧🇪 Je l’aime!! ❤️

Δεν εχω δει κι ακουσει πιο συγκλονιστικη ερμηνεια!!!!Ανατριχιαζω καθε φορα που το βλεπω πραγματικα.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and claim that was one of the all time greatest performances in history.

A beautiful example of how some of the most UNIQUE TALENT out there may not get regular airtime on the more popular radio stations. 😎

One of the best vocalists of all time. I remember the first time I bought her album in 1999. ❤️

the best, end of story perfection.should go down as best female singers ever.

Shes right no matter the language shes capable of let the hearer’s feel the song and its meaning. Truly a singer hats off!!! Love this video

Keep playing that original performance video over and over for years now. This is one of her best performances. I’m so proud that she’s a Belgian like me 🇧🇪😁

Qu'elle belle femme, qu'elle belle âme et surtout qu'elle grande chanteuse. Je l'adore 💜💙❤🧡💚

Poco valorada y hasta relegada , una de las interpretes más grandes no solo en italiano además español e inglés. Versatilidad, carisma una voz preciosa lara fabian la mejor .

Lara fabian une des voix les plus belles du monde. Sa force c'est de faire passer sa voix par ses émotions. Le cœur avant le professionnalisme

Lara Fabian mon dieu ce talent ! Je veux entendre sa voix ENCORE ET ENCORE on a pas eu la chance car la France la toujours rabaissé, QUEL GACHIS ! Magnifique performance Lara. J'aurais dis la plus belle voix Française ... Non une des plus belle voix tout court.

Всю боль, что была на душе, она выплеснула и как волной океана накрыла нас эмоциями и заставила застыть на миг и получить неописуемые пережывания! Какой талант!🌹🙏💗

that was a magic and powerful song. I enjoy every single moment of this song. I still have it inside my soul.

The best vocal and performance that I ever heard, the definition of perfection 👏

finally I've found the song that drops my tears silently

To save other peoples embarrassment I often listen to Lara singing on my own so I can let the emotion in her voice brake over me like a huge wave of tears. Paper hankie are my only consolation ..... for listening to this gifted Angel ....

One the best, if not THE best female french singer.. An incredible breath control, unconditionnal emotions that running into all the celestial vocals she's able to do in an incredible control. She's a trully masterclass.... love you forever Lara.

Sir, you have done the impossible - you have given visuals to her incredible performance. I thank you from all that is in my heart.

The passion, the angst, the broken heart…. Such an outpouring of emotion and performed with exquisite perfection.

Merci pour cette vidéo. Je me demandais si quelqu’un allait s’arrêter à ce phénomène de «reactions» en ce qui a trait à l’interprétation de Lara Fabian pour «je suis malade». Fabian est probablement l’artiste francophone qui a été la plus écoutée chez les anglophones. Ça prouve au moins une chose; la musique est vraiement un language universel et l’émotion de la chanteuse traverse les frontières et les langues.

Bravo Lara ! Magnifique ! Autant le texte que l' interprétation .

Damn....Chills and goosebumps... think I just set a new world record for holding one's breath

Une pure merveille notre Lara Fabian. Une interprétation qui me fait à chaque fois que je l'écoute me fait pleurer. Toute cette émotion qu'elle nous transmet et ont le prend en plein cœur. Merci pour votre talent

She deserves an Oscar plus all the music awards.

OMG!, beautiful& painful lyrics ....she's amazing!!!!!

This lady this song this performance is a true masterpiece,,,and the beauty and emotion of the French language,,,I bow!🥰🥰

It never stops amaze me how people have not heard of her before until now. This concert is from 1999!!! Been her fan over 20 years. Lara has been closest to perfection as any human can be as an singing artist. There has been none before her and i truly believe it will take forever for someone as brilliant to been born. She is in her artistry same level as Rossini in composing opera, Mozart composing symphonies or Newton in fysics or Leonardo Da Vinci in his art. There are bunch of good singers nowadays and singers who has quite good voice or range. And few singers who can express a feeling or put her or his soul into the performance. But NONE who has it all. Except this lady. And what a human being she is. So beautiful inside out. This is easily one of top 5 vocal performances ever recorded live. 4 others are from that same concert.

«Les plus désespérés sont les chants les plus beaux - Et j'en sais d'immortels qui sont de purs sanglots »…Alfred de Musset. Texte touchant et splendide interprétation de Lara. Un grand moment de musique !

"Lara Fabian " one of the world's best singer clean hearted women and beautiful lady, and philosopher

im so proud to have always known this song all my life & know her , even my mom met her & to be french canadian

Mais cette prestation, cette interprétation... Elle a été aussi douée que personne n'a besoin de comprendre la langue (Français) pour s'emporter dans le fond même du morceau. Fort unique. Longue vie Lara Fabian !

Personne ne peut rester insensible à cette finesse de l’émotion !! 😌

Sensational voice great song wonderful wonderful performance love French music specially like this young lady love it

Seeing all these people in the verge of crying restored my faith in humanity.

There are very few people born in this world who can sing like that! BRAVO!!!

One of the most beautiful performers EVER!

What you are witnessing is an "Angel" singing, this is simply Divine.

Best vocal performance ever

Merciiii à toutes ces personnes admirables pour leurs réactions magnifiques émouvantes et touchantes🙏😍🥺🙏 Lara est une Diva et sa Voix transmet énormément d'émotions ❤❤❤

I heard this first about 11 years ago and it impresses me still! What a masterpiece and what a voice!! 👏👏🤗☺️

It doesn't get much better than......she's taking us all on an amazing journey with that piece....Thank you.

J'ai pleuré comme un bebe je suis en amour avec la voix de Lara une chanteuse exceptionnelle 😍😍🥰🥰

her voice is like air, no one cant be like Lara Fabian 🌹🇸🇪

I found this performance about 15 years ago and it still make me emotional how lucky we are it was recorded. Thanks Lara Fabian for this beautiful rendition of the song

That wasn't a song, it was an act, a master piece of story telling. Very surprised she didn't write this too bring that much emotion across.

FEEL BLESSED LISTENING TO HER VOICE!!
