“Je suis Malade”, now a french classic, 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 composed 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, it started to be promoted on the radio, and the song was brought to fame only when, a few months after, Dalida covered it. 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 during his own Paris concert in January 1995. It was a triumph. So he sat in a front row seat and asked her to sing it again alone.

Lara also had made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power. Serge and Lara became good friends and performed several other duets later on.

The 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 ones I am aware of are from italian singer Giulia Falcone, from the korean singer Choi Sung Hoon or from the korean band Forestella.

Lara is used to perform the song very differently in each of her tour and for instance the En Toute Intimité, 2003, Paris Olympia version is even more dramatic

Gosh! I simply love watching people reacting to Queen Lara for the first time! 🤗

[Jarojarni]

"I adore Lara because she is emotionally indecent, she will never hesitate to do what the story requires, she doesn't care how she looks or what would the others think, she delivers the message"

[justingamble]

Love seeing first timers...great reaction. You will never forget this. The day you found Lara, and started to wonder how on earth I could have missed this giant. Lara is least well known, at least in the US, of the legends of the last 30 years. Anyway...You do one more song of hers and you will enter a life long relationship with Lara and join her very global, massive crowd of adoring fans. (she has sung at last count in 12 languages - a true polyglot). The Queen, long may she reign.

🇨🇦 Lara was born in Belgium but moved to Canada to start her career ! She is fluent in 4 languages (French, Italian, Spanish and English) but can sing in 12 languages !
Lara writes, sings, arranges and produces many of her own performances !
Try reacting to "Quedate" in Spanish, "Caruso" on Italian or to "You're not from here" in English !
Also, one of her best songs (covered by many singers including Dimash) is "Adagio" ! 🇨🇦

[billycolburn]

"Adagio" & "Broken Vow" are her originals in English. "Caruso" is perfection! She is one of Dimash's idols. She wrote the words to Dimash's "Your Love". She is the most emotional singer I have ever heard. Do more of her songs please!

There are and have been a lot of powerful singers in our world, but Lara stands out as a superstar on her own level. She doesn't just set the bar...she IS the bar! She is the closest thing to the goddess of music that there is. She is multitalented and a fantastic songwriter as well as vocalist and performer. She is amazing as you will discover...because there is no way now to not continue the Lara Fabian journey.

[lensangster]

You've just begun on a journey of a lifetime with this voice.
Love your reaction....can't wait to see more...you'll want to watch the concert series videos when you react....From Lara with Love

[hugo]

She sings in 12 languages.
You should react to Adagio and Broken Vow from the same Concert .
Good job guys

[PBWaWa]

She is the real beast live. Her performances from the same concert as this song are insane!

[aryc]

Look at her in the end of the performance, not the song, she is shaking, she is still in the song.

[jakesmith]

Nobody can compare to her when it comes to performing. Nobody!

For your info Lara Fabian "I Will Love Again", hit No. 1 on the US Billboard Dance Music charts for 58 weeks in a row, 1999-2000, No other singer in the world was #1 on the US Billboard for so long, after that she was blocked by Sony Music on a command coming from Céline Dion s husband and Team, a bunch of criminals
