I'm French and when I listen to the Diva Lara Fabian sing I burst into tears...they flow on their own. The texts, the musicality and especially the interpretation of Lara are incredible? She is moving and captivating, you would think she is telling her own life, just wonderful... she gives me goosebumps this song. One of the most beautiful songs of all time... A great artist, again BRAVO LARA

More information about 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.

What a performance and what a singer. The same feeling in BROKEN VOW, YOU'RE NOT FROM HERE, ADAGIO LIVE, CARUSO, PERDERE L'AMORE and several other masterful performances. Thank you from Montreal.

[samhartford]

Hooked up on Lara Fabian reactions for two years now, just to re-experience that awe. For the first three months, I could not watch this without bawling my eyes out. This is better in expressive terms than a lot of opera.

And in addition she's gorgeous and her resonance...out of this world.

[Rackelhane]

Lara Fabian is master class and beyond. The whole concert " From Lara with love" is amazing. Welcome to the rabbit hole of Lara Fabian. Thanks for the reaction.

[fifio]

Lara Fabian, the queen of emotion. One of the most underrated singers.

[tom]

Adagio and Caruso are two others of my favorites of this vocal genius. There is also a very unique video of her live in Paris in 2001 where the interaction with her audience is one of the most moving and emotional exchanges in the history of modern performances. The name of that song is Je t'aime. It is well worth a reaction. She is to me, on my top of top singers list, along with Sohyang. They both bring incredible emotion to their performances. Thanks for the reaction to this stunning piece of work.

[lyriasfaves]

My first Lara was "Caruso" and it nearly dropped me to my knees. Beautiful Italian ballad about the legend.

[michelleboussiala]

Je tàime, Caruso, Adagio, Broken Vows just to get started. She literally becomes the character in her songs. Dimash has said many times that she is his musical idol and appreciates her work so much.

[paulclark]

Thanks for reacting to Lara, she's one of my favorites that I found in the reaction world. Great job! She's done quite a bit with Igor K and many of his songs that she has done have also been done by Dimash, as she is one of the singers he admires.

[abcf]

Her stunning beauty is only eclipsed by her incredible talent. Her ability to convey and evoke emotion through her performances is unmatched! For me, the best female vocalist ever. And from everything I've seen, a very gracious, humble, intelligent, funny, and well grounded human being. In love with her!

[sarastromseth-troy]

Great reaction to this beautiful performance. I first came across Lara Fabian in the year 2000. I was a recent college graduate and was beginning my life as an adult, so now, whenever I listen to music from that year, it takes me right back to that time in my life. Anyway, I heard Lara Fabian's dance/pop hit 'I Will Love Again' on a TV show here in the U.S.., and was captivated by Lara Fabian's voice. I bought the album and had it on repeat during much of that year. Sadly, the publicity around that album was short-lived, and I lost track of her career. I am only now discovering her career in Europe and all of the beautiful music I've missed in the past 22 years.

[cherylhowe]

Her live performances are the best. She "feeds" off of the audience and their emotions.

[justingamble]

Great reaction, fun to watch. TY!!! She is a Sorceress. The 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. The best of anyone I have heard or seen, anywhere, anytime...ever.
Most of links in this post below are newly restored and of high quality and, importantly, all have English subtitles when not sung in English. Have fun...you are screwed now, she will have you. Never watch a studio or official video of Lara, always live...she is just to great live to miss out.

[ildefonsobenitez]

Hey Travis, if you're not afraid to show your emotions and you like real artists then Lara is for you! She is one of the greatest artists of the last thirty years and one of the most beautiful voices as well. I would like to pursue Lara's career with you, she is a wonderful artist!!

[lynnsoeth]

First time for me too! She's incredibly talented! Thanks for doing this Travis.

[alexandermadrigal]

Linda reacción! Obra maestra impresionante, única y casi perfecta, de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e intérprete del mundo entero! Reaccióne a Caruso, Adagio, You're not from here, To love again, I Guess i loved You, Gottingen, Alweys, Angels pass away, Lebedy, Mademoiselle Hide! Grácias!

[shaharaskelon]

Absolutely…she gives me chills all time…react to caruso or broken vow

[ifyoucanttakeitback]

[claraginevra]
