I was at this concert the night this was recorded. It's been 22 years and I still have vivid memories of that night. The audience was captivated by this performance you could not hear a sound other than sniffing. It was a case of tissues.

[@guittadabe5214]

To me the grit on "je bois toutes les nuits" is essentially the voice of a person who drinks excessively. Completely brilliant!

[@Platycqb]

Look at the time it took her to come back from her character after she was done with singing. That's a master class in interpretation. She's not only singing, she's living the songs she's interpreting (whether hers or covers).

[@kcatkcat8364]

Lara Fabian is living artistry. She lives and breathes each song, she is the song.

[@roxslay1826]

As a french myself I already knew the song, so for me the most shocking thing in your video was how perfect YOUR french pronunciation is !

[@neibaf4897]

Absolutely! She said it perfectly! Several studies tend to indicate people with great musicality are able to pronounce foreign words as native speakers. That wouldn’t surprise me!

[@benjamincassel85]

[@migueltiago4551]

That doesn't shock me! she is classicaly trained and she had to take italian, french and german to sing some oratoria, arias, opera in general! but yes, that's awesome!

[@briankocheraabcdt4628]

I am 70 and have sung on and off since I was 18. Learning a language is like singing. A language has a rhythm, a pitch, a certain approach to intonation, phrasing, and tempo. True there are differences between speaking and singing a language. A singer in whatever language will "bend" the words to the feel and technique involved in singing that language. Lately, I have been listening to a lot of Dutch pop/rock music. The most popular singers will sing in English. Still there are others who sing exclusively in Dutch or alternate between the two languages. Subsequently, I am learning to speak Dutch. There are some songs such as Anouk's "Wen D'r Maar Ann" = Get Used To It, that speak to me. Being functionally fluent in French, the contrast is of night and day. Dutch has hard gutteral Gs and soft gutteral chs. Native speakers are very good at pulling back on the harsh sounds of the language when singing it. But, first I must crawl before I can fly. For an American English speaker, the temptation is to approach the hard G like clearing your throat. But upon doing that you wind up speaking Dutch like an Arabic person might approach the G. The technique is easy once you wrap your American head around the concept. To approach sounding like a Dutch speaking person, start to say the letter H, as an English speaker would say it. But, then you quickly slide the back of your tongue toward the back of your throat...without choking or swallowing your tongue. For English speakers, especially we Americans this is very challenging but not impossible. Adding to the challenge are the Dutch / English cognate words. They are spelled the same and mean the same as their English cousins. Dutch people say them according to Dutch conventions of pronunciation. It takes some focus at first, not to say the words as you would while speaking English.

[@linlasj]

I lova Lara Fabian. Discovered her on a flight to the US, singing Adagio in italian. Tears...lots of tears. She is beyond magic.

Agreed 61K seeing this is not enough. Do we want an entire generation of singers to learn not to suppress emotion or not? The French have always been magnificent at this. Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Serge Lana, Johnny Halliday. Only a few Americans ever learned to sing like this. But if you want to hear it, try Nina Simone "Wild is the Wind".

[@alexandrabajic4451]

Totally agree, I couldn't have said it any better :-)

[@kikab1695]

I know it’s difficult to catch all the emotions when listening to a foreign language, but you did! To me, the part that strikes me the most is when she sings “c’est ça, je suis malade”, with a mix of laughter and sorrow, it really conveys the distress and despair, bordering to insanity, of the character.

[@stuarttusspot4769]

Also, the word "malade" can also mean "insane" in some contexts, usually when you're angry at someone who does something very dangerous, as in: "Il est malade, ce type !" = "This is guy crazy!".

[@victoriagossani8523]

I'm French and I've no doubt that when she sing "c'est ça, je suis malade", she answer back to her lover, in a memory of an argument where he was says her "tu es malade" and she was answers "for sur, I'm sick", and this "malade" in French means "insane" (like Stuart says in the other comment). You can feel a mix of anger and despair in it with a little bit of sarcasm, or like you said laugher and sorrow. This show how prodigious she is in interpretation, not to speak of her wonderful voice.

[@-Yohanna-]

Also like so much this moment. But what (for me) is the most heartbreaking moment and sounds wonderful with her voice at the same time is : "cet amour me tue" I'm getting emotional everytime listening this moment.

[@_Dutchman24_]

I have seen a 30+ reaction videos of this performance, and I believe yours is best by light years away. You have the soul and the intelligents to put words on the emotions that I feel while listening to this master piece. Thank you for that ! BTW i'm dutch and I live in France already 23 years now, so I can understand the language and the interprétation of the lyrics of this the song directly and I'm very amazed about how you feel the song in the good context. Proof that the emotion of Music is multi language without barriers. Continue the good work and your passion ! Love from France.

[@fazobel7172]

This is the richest and most detailed interpretation of this marvelous singer singing this classic! ♥️♥️ Thank you

[@jmullway3979]

I've just watched three other reactions to this song, where the 'reactors' were only repeating how beautiful Lara is and how emotional the song is, while wiping away imaginary tears. They were not even looking at the video and reading the lyrics and were obviously more interested in the number of views. So in contrast, I find your reaction very refreshing and enlightened with so much expertise. Your emotion is not fake because you realize that her performance is, literally, extra-ordinary. Thank you for this great analysis of it.

[@DoggieFosters]

Agreed. Her excitement and admiration is very authentic and analysis incisive.

Oh wow, thank you J! I just find it so important to understand why something moves me. I am glad that you and others are enjoying my own understandings of music 🤗

[@partituravid]

@@jessicasopranonotes yay! There is little talk of WHY the music affects any of us - and its different elements for everyone - but at any moment, so many things are available for the artist to use - people talk about Lara Fabian or Dimash using everything. They are remarkable, but the truth is that all of those things are available but few singers are either aware, or choose to focus on something else. Integration of all those available things...rhythm , stage movement/energy, timbre, note length, register choices (yes, choice - you reviewers who just say ITS IMPOSSIBLE!)...use it all.

Agreed. Plus just the fact that she writes and co-composes 90% of her music is just genious. Please do react to Broken Vow ( live from Lara with love ) as suggested by Kayden 😀

[@dieseldog00]

@Fedor Ivanov Just an aside; when Jackie Evancho was 10 years old, her producer David Foster was searching for songs for Jackie to sing at her first Public Broadcast Special. He contacted Lara about her song 'Broken Vow' and asked her if she would rewrite it for Jackie because he said it was "too mature" for her. Lara wrote it in French about environmental decline because that was Jackie's big thing back then(she is 20 years old now and STILL into it). Needless to say, 'Imaginer' went over big with the audience that night.

[@mariarrington2848]

I find this woman to outshine some of the biggest current musical voices. Her ability outshines Mariah with her running up and down the scales yet emotionless. Barbra Striesand who has an exquisite way of phrasing, Celine the woman with the incredible pitch and arrive at notes very high effortlessly. Lara is a magnificent vocalist, a one of a kind story teller as if we are hearing her pain and passion for the very first time. In my opinion she is the very best female vocalist to come by in a very long time. Thank you doe showcasing this wonderful woman.

[@sylvainbergeron6766]

Serge Lama a dit en entrevue : « Cette chanson mène aux larmes. » Je suis tout à fait d’accord : la tonalité, l’histoire, les mots et les images fortes et l’interprétation suscitent une émotion forte à chaque fois. C’est un chef-d’œuvre de la chanson française. Votre analyse de l’interprétation de Lara Fabian est méticuleuse et brillante.

[@elsasvenski1566]

The original singer of this song is Serge Lama. “Je suis Malade” was composed by Serge Lama himself and his friend Alice Dona and is based on an “impossible” love. The song I am sick is inspired by a true heartache by Serge Lama, the story of a long secret relationship. In 1969, the singer met Michèle Potier in Chamonix. Love imposes itself as a certainty, but they are neither free: he married in 1968 Daisy Brun his press officer, she is married and the mother of a little boy. They love each other in secret for several years and promise to recover their freedoms, but Michele hesitates and finally flees and settles in Morocco for professional reasons. Lama is desperate, he wants to put his pain into words without succeeding, until the day he confides in his friend Alice Dona: "this story hurts me, it makes me sick". Back home, at the piano, Alice Dona composes a melody in a few hours, which very quickly, she plays the singer. It's a revelation and Serge Lama writes almost all of the text in 20 minutes. But his record company does not approve of this song, they thought people weren't going to like it so Serge Lama threatened to leave the record company and finally they agreed to release it in 1973. And it's THIS music who made it known. Then Dalida took over this song in 1978.

[@mbg9650]

Lara Fabian is by a long way the best conveyor of emotions; her technique is flawless, her execution of that technique is flawless, her tone is flawless, her range is flawless, her breath control is flawless, and her belting is beyond compare. On top of all that is her unique ability to allow her audience to join her into the journey of the story. The creme-de-la-creme of THIS reaction is your inciteful and delicious explanations of why I love this performance so much.

[@robertcampbell8084]

I would have to say that this is one of the most amazing performances I have ever seen. Such vocal talent. Such an arrangement. Your reaction is beyond spot on. Lara Fabian should have been and should be held as one of the best singers in history. It is no wonder that Dimash and Josh Groban want to emulate her. I don't even understand French although I have seen the subtitles with translation, but I didn't even need to see them to understand the complete desperation and passion and pain given in this performance. It is universal and yet I do not think that there are many other artists that could have done this to express the pure emotion. You can see it at the end of this video and the original video where you see her trying to recover from such an impactful and immersive performance - drawing from something that some of us can draw from but hopefully most cannot. Watch the ending to see how much that cost her. I do not think at all that it was faked. She performed this song at the risk of her health and personal safety and had to take a minute to dissociate herself from this. I do not think that was an act at all. That is not a bad thing I am saying, only to understand that she is portraying something that many could never understand. Pain, rejection, hope, denial, fear, love, expectation, (so many other emotions), all at once, summed up by her 17 second held ending vocal letting us all know these feelings all at once. Masterpiece is such a simple term to this as this will go above so many heads. Love you all.

Lara is actually an idol of Dimash and your analysis describes why that is. He tries to bring some of the same emotion and passion to his singing that she does... Also, another reactor noticed that after she finished singing, she was still emotionally into the song for another 30 seconds or so because she wasn't able to even acknowledge the crowd. I can't imagine putting that much into a whole night of singing without being totally exhausted just from the pure emotions she is feeling to give those performances...

[@nofilterstrategie5451]

For me, one of the most masterful parts is round 14:30. When she's been showing how this love makes her physically ill since the beginning of the song (the drinking, the body language), there's a shift at that moment where she shows how it also made her mentally ill (« malade » in French has both meanings) with the smile, the laugh, the wonderful « C'est ça, je suis malade! ». It's heartbreaking. Lara Fabian is both one of the greatest singers in the world, but she is also a very genuinely kind and loving being. Clearly an empath that we all should cherish. Good analysis on your part, very interesting.

[@codonauta]

She has the best reactions and analysis for music in KZbin, it was not just this one.

[@youcamp132]

I have never made it through that song without tears running down my face. Not once.

[@leonardomane7557]

Watching this reaction again, maybe for the 6th time. So sorry you never wanted to react to her singer again. Thank you again for this amazing reaction.

Lara is the absolute Goddess of Delivery of her songs

[@raduadi]

Just 3 simple words... LARA IS FABULOUS

[@timothyblack3322]

Completely different genre, style, delivery in their music: Dolly Parton uses her songs many times in her singing speech voice. I never thought of her drawing the audience into the story. Here is a fun fact about her Thanksgiving Halftime show: The Stage was suppose to lower her down, the stage refused. So, as she began descending on her own, the back broke off 1 of her high heels. Dolly holds onto the stage long enough for her too gain her balance descending a little further. The joy of live shows, and keep on going when things don’t go as planned. *Several men in the studio said, “It’s time Dolly acted her age”. When has anyone said that about a man? *I have only recently discovered Lara Fabian & I’ve fallen in love with her. Stunning in every way. How did the U.S. miss out until recently. Thank you so much for the joy & knowledge of music you share. God bless, Timothy in Tallahassee, Florida 🌞🌴

[@PlouplePoupi]

So impressed by your analysis ! You’re a soul woman and I’m happy I found your Chanel ! Thank u 🙏🏻 Love from 🇫🇷👍🏼🍒

[@mstubelinskitester7378]

I've heard this song way too many times and every time I cry. Just let it flow. Best reaction to this one I've ever seen.

[@murcielago188]

You are amazing, your dissection and description of Lara Fabian masterful technique is the best in KZbin. Love that you show your emotion to a very emotional song. Keep up the good work. By the way, you sing beautifully too!

[@PH-hw5nx]

Nothing to add or say, just perfection. A true artist.

[@darrenjones626]

She sang the hell out of that song, I'm totally blown away, I can't get over what I have just witnessed, OMG....

[@DoggieFosters]

She's known for masterful technique. I've come to think of her as something of a vocal chameleon. She is ALL about the story. (Calls herself a songwriter with a voice.) You haven't heard one of her originals yet - this is a cover she tweeked significantly to famously make her own - but I think you'd love exploring her work/skills. 🖖🏽 She's fluent and writes in French Italian English and Spanish. Sings very very competently in 12 according to native speakers. Just a brilliant artist. Not her originals, but her covers of Caruso and Pedere L'Amore are sublime.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

I didn't realize this was a cover. Now I need to listen to the original to see how she made it her own. Can't wait to do more on her!

[@Platycqb]

@@jessicasopranonotes From the same concert/era, here are a few of Lara's own creations in English language: You're not from here, Broken Vow (this concert version is my favorite by far), Adagio (even though the original melody is way older than Lara). And as pointed by @FeatherStep, Lara is a vocal chameleon. She can sing soft spoken or slay her notes, she can do low/sad songs just as well as punchy rythms (check I am who I am or I will Love Again).

[@franciscouderq1100]

Soprano Notes : the original interpretation is by Serge Lama the song writer himself.

[@abelardorodriguezinfantes9134]

Perdere l'amore is a Masterpiece. Love it!!!

[@duprattcarol]

@@jessicasopranonotes The original song was by the singer song writer Serge Lama whose father gave up his operatic career for his wife's sake and suffered from it.

[@danozard]

this is the best analysis/breakdown ive ever come across of je suis malade. i learnt a lot more about this song and her singing techniques!

[@vanatsakou7773]

Hey Jessica! This might be the best analysis of this song, I'm glad I found you! Greetings from Greece ❤️ 🇬🇷

[@meltaway520]

Lara's strength is a world-class singer,it stands to reason that she should be popular all over the world,just like Celine, truly feel sorry for her.

[@maudesteel113]

Lara is an amazing singer! She deserves so much more praise for this performance. Just out of this world. I cry every single time I hear her sing this song. Her Adagio is also great.

[@romainbruneau7782]

She does sound exhausted when she’s singing « je suis épuisée » and she does the same when she sings « je bois toutes les nuits, et tous les whiskys... » but on those words she sounds drunk. She always mix great technic with great interpretation and i am always amazed how this french song from Dalida can be loved that much in so many countries !

[@pacscanadadatabaseservices3711]

Le premier interprète était Serge Lama puis par Dalida.

[@MR-ck4le]

la chanson est de serge lama dalida l ayant reprise

[@MetteC5]

The song is by Serge Lama, not Dalida (who just covered it)

[@genevievedrouin289]

Your reaction and commentary to this performance is the best. Love your channel.

[@cfauvel]

I'm not crying YOU'RE crying!! (ok I'm crying'

[@teresalehtonen8499]

I ve been at her consert front row. Nobody sing like her, masterclass on every level of singing and performing.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

What an experience!

[@Baldevi]

I do weep when I hear this. Watching reactions to this performance is so damn hard, I have to pause and catch my breath many times. whenever she repeats the "leaving me alone in my despair" that punches my chest. And even more how lost she is when the song has ended, and she's standing there, alone on stage, she's still in the mood she had to summon to sing this song with all that power and horrified despair. Even if you dared to go up on stage and try to comfort her, she would shove you away; she's so alone even though she's completed the piece. Stunning, this performance is a masterclass in singing, in emoting with full investment, and performance art too. Lara is using her whole body to express what even these desperate words cannot fully convey. Just brilliant, and your reaction is also brilliant, so sensitive and clear, you really were invested too. Thank you.

[@alanmard7482]

I first heard Lara sing Caruso - which blew me away. Then found Malada and I watched Lara perform this on KZbin 2 months ago and since that day, I can't go a day without listening to it - at least 3x a day. She brings tears to my eyes every single time I watch it. She's an amazing woman. Thank you for presenting her the way you have. I enjoyed your analysis immensely!

[@Swahili14]

OMG 😱 can't believe you missed her *"YOU'RE NOT FROM HER"* audio It's indeed one of the greatest and most perfect vocal performances ever Those dynamics chest-head transitions and belting power in there are unmatched 🙌 She literally remind me of late Whitney Houston 😭

[@lfjphotog6779]

You have to cry! It's Lara Fabian! Everyone does it! 💗

[@celinechabot8163]

This woman’s talent is so underrated...Lara is such a great talent! Great review 🙂

[@susanwenner8738]

The piano and her dropped eyes in beginning sets up everything you need to prepare for a master performance. You can’t turn away.

[@uchihadayne6506]

There are too many people on KZbin doing vocal and music reviews that clearly don’t have the credentials. I’m glad I found one channel I can sub to when I’m in the mood for good analysis and discourse, thank you!

[@4potslite169]

One of THE BEST breakdowns of this performance I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much for your insights!

[@vankf5164]

this is for me her best live performance. your reaction is gold.

[@robertabbot3221]

Your ability to convey your mastery of art and technique while responding with exquisite sensitivity and immediacy is unusual among KZbin reactors. It heightened my pleasure in and appreciation for the performance. Thank you!

[@jessicasopranonotes]

You're welcome Robert! Thank you for your nice comment!

[@milanvelickovic6666]

Only persons with extremely high level of emotional intelligence cry during listening song full of emotions...God bless you ... greetings from Serbia

[@isabelledrevet5913]

Cette interprétation, je ne m'en lasse pas... C'est incroyable, émouvant, une voix et un ressenti unique... Juste merveilleux 👋💗

[@isabelledrevet5913]

N'oublions pas Serge Lama, un de ses plus grands tubes...

[@beardo52]

The genuine integrity of your reactions to this , and other singers, are what makes you one of the very best sources for reactions on any Media. Thank you very much.

[@jijiarraja]

I’m a huge Lara Fabian fan like it’s extreme how I love her and her talent and THIS reaction is the best I saw without hesitation ! Bravo !

I LOVE this commentary as a professional singer. This lady really knows what she's talking about.

[@liviarivera292]

You are a professional and truly sensitive in your analysis of this interpretation ! Went deeper than all the others that did the same song in You Tube.
