BTW, Lara moved to Canada when she was 19. Her roots are Belgian and Sicilian.

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

Ah. Okay. Thanks for clarifying. 🤗

[@rlew49ers]

@@RetroToMetroReactions To further elaborate Lara lived in Sicily when she was very young then moved to Belgium until she turned 19. Her father was a guitarist and I read he may have performed with Petula Clark early on in her career (currently she is 91). Loved every song from her concert "From Lara with Love" and she wrote the lyrics to several of the songs.; in this concert she sings in French, Italian. Spanish and English.

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

That is very informative. Thank you. Petula Clark! That’s awesome too. 🤗

More information on 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, Aretha, Shirley Bassey, 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 10,000+ 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 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total
• she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for 200+ songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music, and is at the source of the melodic line.
• 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, her father is flemish and grand mother on father side is dutch, but she also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( the father of her mother is from Detroit). She had been raised in Sicilia first for 7 years then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french 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 only moved away from opera to pop because she is first and foremost a songwriter.
After her Eurovision participation in 1988 (4th), she really started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada.
She had been living for years in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship. She moved to Sicilia end of 2022.
She became very famous in Quebec in the early 90s with several double platine records and then conquered France in 1996/1997 (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, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and was 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, packed with masterpieces (covered by many great vocalists later on).
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 Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance.
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 and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then.
Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), Linda Eder, …
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 and many other countries are 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, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara.
Out of my mind I can list:
○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer),
○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer),
○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version)
○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know")
• She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love".
• And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva).
• Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida.
Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara.
Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it.
Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration (singers from every region in the world: from China and Taiwan, to Philippines, Indonesia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Netherlands, Greece, Israel, Lebanon, Italy, France, Belgium, Norway, UK, USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Central Africa, …)

NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version.
Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature.
In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular.
On April, May, June 2023 she had again some wonderful concerts in Tbilissi, Georgia, then in Ouzbekhistan, Kazakhstan, Romania.
She is about to release a new album and just kicked off another tour in eastern europe (Czech Republic, Moldavia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkiye), then will visit several locations in Canada in june 2024 and, after some rest and a few TV Shows, France in 2025.
The first song of the new album (titled "Ta Peine" - Your Sorrow) was released late January 2024 and is a success in France. She is currently one of the concert tickets top sellers in France, Eastern Europe and Canada. New dates are being added to her tour.
Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.

Lara is a perfect singer. Her beautiful voice coupled with the emotion of the song makes this a very moving performance. She even uses her breath to add feeling to the song. She 'sells' a song better than anyone I've seen. Lara is truly incredible....... a real artist!

But I think her raw emotions and facial expressions in this video and the fact that she's barefooted on stage singing in front of thousands of people.. just show so much of who she truly is.... ♥ 🙏

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

Yes. I've heard the name Lara Fabian, but I had never (to my knowledge) heard a song. It's sad really.

[@ericsicard910]

“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)
czcams.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/video.html
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

Hi!, thank you for reacting to Lara 👏. Her voice is crystal clear, her range is stunning and besides she's one of the best performers. In this performance she perfectly accompanies the lyric and melody with the movements of her body and her face expressiveness, it's so hard not to cry, and I've watched this performance hundreds of times. Wacthing and listening to Lara I feel kind of like with Dimash. In my humble opinion, the best singers and performers on our time. If you want to continue reacting to Lara, "Je t'aime", "Ta peine", "Par Amour", "Ma Vie Dans La Tienne", "L'oubli", "I will love again", "la difference",..., are some of her great songs👏👋☺️

xxx-FYI: She’s absolutely beautiful at 54 - LARA (not Laura) Fabian (Fabyanne) with links: Lara Fabian is a Canadian (Québécoise) of Belgian birth and Italian/Franco/Flemish cultural heritage. Lara studied piano, composition, and voice at a Brussels Conservatory for a decade. Lara is a full lyric soprano with a vocal range that spans four octaves (A5, B4, BB4, C3, C5, C#5, D5, E5, EB5, F5, F#5, G5) in live performances. She is multilingual; she speaks Italian, French, Spanish, and English and has sung in 12. Lara, who describes herself as a songwriter/singer, creates a high emotional connection with the listener. She has a discography of over 400 songs, has sold over 30 million records, and plays at sold-out venues worldwide. She lives with her husband and daughter in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
I’m a ‘fan’ because of her high level ‘EQ’ (emotional intelligence) expressed in the text of her songs.
La raison pour laquelle je suis un « fan » de Lara Fabian est son « QE » élevé, qu’elle exprime dans le texte de ses chansons.

Thank you for a very thoughtful reaction. Yeah, Lara was totally locked into the lyrics, the story. She took a good while to gain composure to where she was, on stage...holding her audience on edge to the very last. What a performer she is; such a great and superior artist. Thank again.❤

[@AhnTK]

Hi 👋 my friend 😊
I'm glad to meet your channel 😂she's wonderful ginger 😂top of the top😂I'm so moved 😂thank you for your beautiful and fantastic sharing 😂have a nice Sunday 🙏 👋😊

[@annebergmans677]

Thank you so much for this reaction on our Lara Fabian!
There are so many other songs you can listen to, with another Belgian amazing singer, Maurane.
Try "Tu es mon autre" and "Evidemment"
And you can also listen to the fantastic Maurane, she was an outstanding performer and bff of Lara!!!
Greetings from Belgium❤❤❤

[@anniedoppler4531]

Je vous suggère de regarder sa performance (même concert) d’Adagio ou Broken vow. Ce sont mes deux chansons préférées en anglais, mais aussi les préférées de beaucoup de personnes. Broken vow a été reprise par Barbra Streisand (entre autres) et Adagio par Dimash (entre autres également) 🙂

[@jakesmith5278]

Possibly the greatest performer...ever. You can see it took a while for her to get out of the character.

LA REINA.

More suggestions ! From the same concert "Broken Vow, Adagio and Caruso" for exemple

[@user-ys1jq6kr8z]

That's all fine but she was in her prime between 1996 and 2003 so why not focus, at least initially, upon the peak performance years as an entree

[@lusciniamagna7032]

Ciao amico hai perfettamente ragione perché correre avanti invece di gustare LARA dagli inizi e scoprirla con calma un po' per volta. Ciao. ​@@user-ys1jq6kr8z

[@mikeb7379]

I'm UK English speaker. A language that has given much to the world in general? But French? I honestly think that when it come to big emotions, (let's be honest we English don't really do that do we?), it hits home regardless of understanding the words? Some Italians might argue with that statement? Don't think you have done a Emma Kok reaction yet? And she's Dutch singing in French! Viola.

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

I tend to agree. Oh Emma Kok is still in my queue! I’ll have to get to her soon. 🤗

[@mikeb7379]

Soon as possible?

[@brendaguerin5423]

Lara and Dimash have sung together

[@jplebihan]

As mentioned in other comments Lara is more Belgian than Canadian and sounds 100% French (Belgium).

I leave as a suggestion for your reaction, the talented Gabriel Henrique with the cover LOVE BY GRACE by Lara Fabian

[@larrykinglk]

Thank you for your thoughtful reaction and for sharing your feelings with us Charlene. Still, I lost you when you concluded with this comment: "You can hear that it's French Canadian as opposed to Parisian French"...I don't know what you mean by "Parisian" French. There is no such thing. Maybe you refer to "Parisian accent"? There are many French accents since French is spoken all over the world, in the French territories as well as foreign countries that use French as official language. Anyway, as @ericsicard910 reminds us, that song is French, and Lara Fabian, whose French is one of her native languages, speaks and sings a flawless French. Cheers.

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

Thank you. I guess I was showing my ignorance (again!). I just found that 'Canadian' French, which is the one I am most used to doesn't sound like French heard around Paris. Of course, like any language there are different accents... I just never thought of it. Thank you for correcting me. :)

[@QueenPcontrolstheuniverse]

@@RetroToMetroReactions yeah french from quebec is very different and she speaks it with a flawless accent too.

Lyrics "Promise"
You said that you'll be there when I get home
You'll do the laundry cook the meal for all
But I smell neither garlic nor the cotton when I'm here
All I hear is silence that you left when you disappeared
Why didn't you say
That you wouldn't stay with me forever
Like then on a day you first met me
I don't even care why you had to leave baby
You tear me apart
Look how selfish you are
Left me behind when I gave you my life
Where are you now
How am I supposed to tell them How
And you promised that you wouldn't leave before me
Tell me why you couldn't keep your promise
I know that you can't hear me like before
But there are things I think you need to know
The things that you would know If you'd just wait a little more
But you don't like to wait and now they think that it's their fault
Why didn't you say
That you wouldn't stay with me forever
Like then on a day you first met me
I don't even care why you had to leave baby
You tear me apart
Look how selfish you are
Left me behind when I gave you my life
Where are you now
How am I supposed to tell them How
And you promised that you wouldn't leave before me
Tell me why you couldn't keep your promise

[@robertday1671]

@@RetroToMetroReactions Okay Thank you! Take care!

[@jylfarm1964]

She speaks both Quebec French and Parisian French, including change in vocabulary, many sentence constructions and most pronunciation. In that song, she pronounces a few sentences a little with her Quebec tempo and tonal accent, but I am sure that no European will notice.
Even so, the song was written for a male French (Paris) singer. For the sentence that make no senses in Quebec French, she definitively distances herself from a neutral accent that sound both European and Canadian (Like CBC). She switches to Paris French. For example, "comme un gosse idiot" is masculine gender and very Parisian French. "Comme une gosse idiote" will be feminine gender, but more importantly, no native Québécois will ever say that. So, that part of the song sound a lot more European.
I have listened to that same song she recorded pretty recently in Russia. Not a hint of Quebec vowel "Deeper A"... Will see when she comes for her show in Ottawa soon.

Her name is Lara, not Laura. Can't Americans read ? But who can, dares to dive in a song this way, who dares ??? Brel does and who else ?

[@RetroToMetroReactions]

Who dives into a song what way and what is Brel??? And for the record, I started to say ‘Laura’ and corrected myself right away.

[@cellevangiel5973]

She dives into that song, not just sing it as most do. And you can see how long it takes for her to get out of it again. Jacques Brel is a singer and you can hear Ne me suite pas where he does as well. And for the record, most Americans name her Laura. @@RetroToMetroReactions
