Very impressed by this review. Well done. Love different directions that hang together in the end

A True Artist. She was so deeply immersed into the story. Look at the amount of time it took for her to release. A one of a kind performance.

You are remembered and so much missed.. 💔

I'm late to your party, but this was such an incredible reaction to this incredible song. You actually got it, ALL of it! 99% of other reactors simply did not get the true impact of this song, the lyrics and this performance. My fave part has to be around the middle when things really start to ramp up and you see Mavis get right into it and her face absolutely lights up as she hears Hozier get into it. You can tell she hasn't heard and sung along with a real protest song with this level of genuine heart since the days when she actually sang with the legend Nina Simone herself! It's so heartbreaking but uplifting all at the same time. So stunning!

Excellente analyse, de loin la meilleure que j’ai entendue de cette belle interprétation. Merci beaucoup et salutations de France ❤️

The Nightwish version has grown on me. When I was there in that concert it was more like a filler piece for me, not something talked to me personally. There's not denying the skill, it was just not something that stood out from all the other stuff in the set, or in Nightwish catalogue. But having watched the recording over and over in reaction videos it has opened up for me. But when I want to hear Marko, I'm still usually putting something else on, like Weak Fantasy or Yours is an Empty Hope. As a metalhead the Pink Floyd version has never really interested me. I see the skill and talent, but it's just not my kind of music.

L'histoire de cette chanson, c'est lorsque lama à perdu son amour dans un accident de voiture Mais Lara, l'interprète à merveille

I saw the original performance in London........wonderful......wonderful. Thank you.

Lara is far more than just an excellent singer and performer. One detail : she started her career singing in clubs in Brussels and she has one thing of it : she is in full contact with the public. Not just standing there, doing her thing. You are involved. She is telling her story to YOU.

Steve Balsamo is the BEST in this role imo. He’s amazing!!! It seems like his voice, talent, & performance, was made for this role. So incredible. I never tire of this.

Magnifique...react " to love again" same live session

Check these channels which caused problems, some reactors traced them and reported to youtbe. everything settled. russians were stealing videos.

Andy, this is by far the most complete reaction to Lara's "Je suis malade" that I have seen (I must have seen over a hundred of this song alone). You not only captured the vocal, but the story telling, the nuances in the writing as well as the emotional delivery that Lara is known for, you didn't miss a thing. Bravo my friend.

Dimash adajo is the best.one of a kind. Best of the best singer in the world.

Thank you for reacting lara❤❤❤ amasing❤. She also did a cover of la traviata

Dimash parla italiano nelle canzioni sono perfetti ❤😊

It's a shame that after all the time and money spent putting on this special concert to celebrate the band's 15rh anniversary that somebody completely botched the Blu-ray and DVD release. Not only is the audio sub par with even the 5.1 track being highly compressed, the icing on the cake was the rather crude removal of a whopping 7 songs from the concert, most of them fan favourites. All of it seemingly done to allow the 80 minutes that was left to be squeezed onto a single CD and to have a matching tracklist on all 3 formats, the CD edition at least sounds good though.

I know Steve as I studied Perf Arts with him at Neath in Wales .. he is a great guy and an incredible vocalist .. check out 'Immortal' taken from the eric woolfon musical 'Poe'

Sorry but to me some of his belts sound to me a bit uncontrolled and more of a scream instead. You know if you own a Bugatti that can hit 300mph, that doesn’t mean you should drive over 300! Likewise if you can struggle to hit those high notes, one they don’t sound natural and two they sound like a shrill. If you listen to female opera singers when they hit those notes they sound so clear, his do not. I guess it’s that clarity that has earned Lara Fabian the “ring” nickname. Every single great male singer sounds powerful and strong, his voice sounds almost child like by comparison. Sorry, my opinion only, don’t mean to offend anyone.

You the best 💪👏👏👏👏

Me gusta mucho. Para mi, el mejor en todos los aspectos. Pero hay que ver a Dan Basco

👍👍👍👏👏👏

Gets me every time too.

I love that you talk about his performance as an actor, that is out of this world, and about the lyrics, that are amazing. And by the way, yes, he cried, there are real tears falling down his face. Goosebumps!!! 💚💚💚

I've just watched your reaction, and I loved it. I love Steve, he deserves much more credit and recognition, his performance moves me every time the same way it did the first time I watched it.

Patrick Fiori was her boyfriend and there love is finish when she has siinging this song.

This is a different video. His official video with this song is better where parts of the flim show as background.

This song was not written for him. It was written for the film and they were looking for Three singers to sing it but found Dimash who could sing all octaves by himself. The film is a science fiction film, Creators the past....

not bad but you just can't beat Ted Neeleys version on this

The lost love in this song isn’t a lover, it is Lara’s Mother. While Lara was born in Belgium, at a young age she moved to Italy. There she grew up living with her Mother & Grandmother . Lara was very close to both, but in the lyrics she gives us strong hints. She is describing her emotion’s, are as a child when her Mother would go out at night. The difference is that she knows her Mother is truly gone, she is truly left alone, and it has made her sick, completely sick, perfectly sick. Pain is the emotional place she sings from in this song, according to Barbra Streisand. She asked Lara where she went while singing this song. Barbra said, that is deep.

I love PF but for me the NW version are better,

Thanks Andy, good job. I learn a lot from you. I do not mind your pausing, it' s relevant and helpful. Continue reviewing Dimash, he touches my Soul & makes me weep.

Nothing compared to Air Supply man..I suggest you listen to Air Supply (original version; Bonny Tyler did the cover). Go check them out

brilliant analysis, you understood everything Every time I listen to this song, I get tears in my eyes and shivers!

Must try queen ( bohemien rhapsody) longer version cover by putri ariani .she is blind .she got golden buzzer from simon cowel on2023 agt.

😢❤😢

❤❤❤

Эта нота в конце…. Это безумие какое-то , я пересматриваю и пересматриваю и в моей обычной человеческой голове это с трудом укладывается💔

Late to the party, but loved your comparison here. I loved this song off The Division Bell, but I have to say that since I first heard the Nightwish tribute version the original now sounds maudlin. The energy and passion NW put into their version, while obviously showing the greatest respect for the original, just grabs my musical sensibilities more. In a world where I could choose only one version to listen to for the rest of my life I’d have to pick Nightwish.

Lara parle 7 langues et peut chanter en 15 langues wow

Watch Mel Gibson’s “The Passion”, I would be scared and angry too.

The story that is interesting, Andrew Lloyd Webber tells the story of Steve coming in to try out for the part of Jesus and he said, ‘ I had this young man sing Gethsemane and I was blown away and I said would you sing that again and he did.” I had him come back again and he did it again.” You could tell how absolutely “gobsmacked Webber was. Webber than had Steve sing it for the audience there. The way Steve hits those high notes, just amazing and yet that beautiful peacefulness too. It made me cry and still does.

Спасибо большое за реакцию, мне очень понравилось 🙏🙌🙌🙌🎉🎉🎉

Thourgh the rhythmic part, Andy, it stays in the 4/4/ - genius!

Awesome analysis!! And here is an amusing moment - right after Terry sang “Do you really want to see me crawl?” You immediately nodded with a facial expression like that, as if you were saying “Yes, yes! I really really want to see you crawl…” 😅😅😅 Watch here at 15:17 .

Hi Andy … thoroughly enjoyed this breakdown of my favourite version of this. I saw my first production of JSC at age 11 in Sydney Australia ….and the last one I saw was in 2014 I think with Tim Minchin playing Judas. Lost count of how many productions I’ve seen in between but Steve Balsamo’s is without doubt my absolute favourite. His performance level, both vocally and artistically are beyond compare in my book. I’ve never seen it broken down like this before so thank you and I agreed with so much you said … so thank you, I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. I was surprised to hear you compare him vocally to Ian Gillan as that was the first voice that came to my mind as well when I first heard Steve’s version. If you care to take the time … check out an Australian singer .. Jeff St John … who sadly passed away in 2018 … but had one of the most incredible voices I’ve ever heard. Thanks again … I’ve subscribed .. look forward to more x

ty for your time with french singers, i hope you will look the emotionnel show with Jean-Pierre Ferland (writing song) with Celine Dion and Ginette Reno. Québec city 400th anniversary

Excelente tu reacción. Me gusta que hayas reparado en la profundidad de la letra y los recursos del autor. Por lo demás, la actuación es maravillosa y no había observado el aporte de la guitarra al final Muchas gracias.

There are good voices, there are great voices and then there is STEVE BALSAMO. Fantastic is too mild a word for this performance. My wife and I saw him is Superstar in London in 2003 i think it was and wanted the show to go hours longer. Ty for the reaction

Lara is the GOAT. Great reaction!!!!
