They both came up around the same time in Quebec and Lara was a bit in the Shadow of Céline. Celine has a HUGE presence and even as she was ascending she took up so much room in the media. Kinda like the 1st time one would hear Mariah one could see similarities to Whitney ( I am talking at the very beginning) the same can be said of Lara and Céline but once you really hear them you can tell them apart. IMO the big difference is Céline epic versatility and her agility is legendary. I love and respect them both as singers.

@@GarageStudio7 Yeah I agree with that comparison. Both are technically equally supporting and even resonating, but Celine is just engaging more, which it might appeal to one’s preference more. By breath support, I meant Lara’s untouched ability (together with Barbra imo) to sustain a note while modifying it. Yes, Celine has great breath support too, but that engagement you mentioned earlier might fatigue her ability to sustain, while Lara has much more ease while doing it. Hope that made sense.

For those out there who do not know this : both Lara and Céline sang at the Eurovision contest in 1988. Céline sang for Switzerland and won first place. The year after, Lara came to further her career in the province of Québec where Céline lived. Lara was doing great at the start of her career here in Québec. Both singers have a special place in our hearts. As Lara said, media and journalists made them sound as if they are both rivals and as Lara said : it is not true. They're both fans of one another and respect each other talent.

Thanks dude! Hard to compare them as they are two godesses, two divas with two exceptional voices. They are unique, have a flawless technique, they always deliver. I love Lara's story telling, her resonance. Incredibly, they've never sung together so far, Lara sings Céline's songs since she's 12, she likes her a lot and has lots of respect/admiration for her. She made the appearance of great voices possible, she opened the door and allowed great voices like that of Lara to fully express itself. She looks at Céline like an 'older' sister. On a few occasions, Lara said publicly that she would love to sing with Céline, that it would be a dream come true, she even wrote her a letter many years ago to tell her all the good she felt about her, without the media interfering. Even though Céline has never really replied, Lara knows that it reached & moved her. They met very briefly once on a show many years ago, and Lara said that Céline looked at her with lots of benevolence, she held Lara's hand & said to her : " even when you speak it sounds good" . They understand each other, they respect each other much. It looks obvious that from Céline's side (entourage), it's probably not possible now to allow this collaboration between these two incredible artists (for some reasons, specific to show business...), but I want to carry on beleiving that it will happen at some point. ;)

Since they're contemporaries. I think they sound so similar probably because they have the same vocal fach and almost the same background. They both are Full Lyric sopranos and they were born in french speaking countries and it reflects on the way they sing. French language has more closed vowels and you can hear the accent while they sing. Fun fact: They competed against each other in the 1988 Eurovision.

I've noticed that especially from eb5 to G5 most of the clip of Celine notes were in closed vowels while from Lara were in open vowels to make pass the thing that Celine sounded thin and strain past D5 and of course because her notes were in closed vowel which are way more difficult to hit and sustain! Celine has way better and open vowels notes from eb5 to G5 in which she sounded very open and resonant and not thin! And also Celine has way better D5's than those clips! So the comparison is fair till C#5 and after that is unfair! And I recognize that Lara has a bit better technique, ease, freedom and more support on her upper belts but we can't forget that Celine in her prime could consistantly support up to F5!

I saw a video made by one Celiion, a Lara's hater stating that Lara were a copycat of Céline because in several sections of the video they both were wearing leather jackets (yes, early "90s, a lot of women used to wear it...) and CD wore a shot jacket and Lara a long jacket, so it wasn't even the same size... that video talked about the manneirisms: they both were raising their arms while singing... I'm pretty sure CD didn't invented that random gesture... Some people diss Lara talking about things they don't know... There are a bunch of videos in French and some dishonest Celions take advantage that many people don't speak French to make up things. One time a woman was stating that she was dissing CD when what she was saying that she wasn't Dion, but that night someone mixed up 2 names: her name and Lise Dion (another singer who was there that night). There are more Dion besides Céline! Lara always talk about Céline in a wonderful way. What she doesn't like is that people call her a copycat of Célines! They don't even sound alike, the way they perform are way different, CD has a bright and piercing voice and Lara has a dark and warm voice. Their personalities are way different too: CD is more exuberant and Lara is quieter. They don't behave the same, so besides the supposed copied "choreography" of raising the arms while singing, Idk which manneirisms are you talking about! You say that Lara was a threat to Céline... René Angélil thought the same and that's why he made Tommy Motolla break the record deal with Lara. René was very powerful and he basically did what he wanted. I think that Lara wasn't a threat; there were market for both of them and a lot of people are fan of both of them (I prefer Lara but I like Céline, too) and CD's music was/is more mainstream, so CD would sell way more, no matter what. I don't know why you say that you're glad that Lara didn't make it in the US because she was a threat to Céline... I guess you consider her a threat because of other reasons, I guess... Lara don't need the USA because she is apreciated in Europe, Russia (which is somewhat Europe and Asia) and in Canada. She wrote a song "No Big Deal" where she talks about her failure in the USA, "egoland". Besides that, she doesn't need people to write her songs because she's a songwriter. Even though what she's been through she never badmouthed Céline... she doesn't even badmouths René...she just talks about Tommy Motolla and Walter Afanasieff...

Below Eb5, they are both excellent, but as you said, Lara notes were fuller, celine's notes were more bright crystal clear, Above Eb5, Celine often strains, I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me, but that's just my opinion, I think in that area Celine is out of her comfort zone, growing old, she used heady mix to hit those notes more freely and in a healthy way to not deteriorate her voice, Above Eb5, Lara is more comfortable although she has a tendency sometimes to have a heady mix but even in those cases I am under the impression that her voice is a continuum. What I like to hear, it depends on the performance, and what best convey the emotions of the song

[@odettefillon2088]

listen to this kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKi8dWtpqLWAsJY in 2020 ... on note C5 the same song huge comparison between the 2 ...... I'm really sorry but who is 51 years old keeps his chest voice ?? celine without a doubt .... lara will have lost its power of the years 1999 .... best teqnique lara ?? Is that so??? and why her voice is now in front without ring, without nucleus in her natural voice then above B4 she still sings like this now look kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKi8dWtpqLWAsJY

Nothing in this video is strained from celine other than G5. The second F#5 is not support but it isn’t strained. In Celines prime (1989-1993) she supported E5 more often than not.

[@brahimmhamdi6537]

They are both great, and they sound really good even as they are getting older, but my point was about their comfort zone, also I think that celine as she has been getting older, is using her voice very conservatively, she's thinking long term I suppose, 2 legends

[@dededejereme2284]

big difference in volume between her .. celien sings louder than lara, but also celine sings here with only closed vowels, while lara will always be on open vowels, so easier to have resonance !!! ^^ This is therefore not objective, the person who made the video distorted the truth, moreover celine will have a superb note that we do not see here from D5 .... lol a scam this video

[@renanrpm]

Lara’s technique is something else. I think there’s no singer who can match her resonance. She really wins this due to the consistency of her core and support throughout the entire scale. I missed Celine’s D5 while singing “Imagine”. It’s her most resonant note and probably one of the most resonant ever on music history.

[@dededejereme2284]

for me lara fabian resonates up to C5 ... then if she goes to headymix it is not a resonance of more listened well the micro automatic full resonance in her concerts listened to here we hear well the microphone is in traffic mode .. for me lara is super resonant on the 4th octave and on C5 / C # 5 (until 2010) .... it would be necessary to listen to the microphone which has a reverb effect of the sound we see!

[@renanrpm]

@@dededejereme2284 A mic effect can’t reproduce the resonance Lara has on her vocals. Beyonce uses a lot more reverb and can’t come even close of Lara’s resonance. The fact Lara uses a heady mix just turns her voice lighter and brighter, but it doesn’t change even a bit her resonance. She stays with it even on F#5s and G5s. It rings in your year, it’s different form being loud or piercing as Celine is on some notes above E5 which are not supported or resonant.

[@dededejereme2284]

@@renanrpm I think that lara is not resonant when she uses the heady mix on D5 / eb5 / e5 / but it is true that on F5 and G5 she will not have the same heady mix, this weird, I speak especially of the notes D5 / to E5

Celine Dion does well when she has runs, like at 19:25. Her tone sounds pleasant at 15:54. However, to my ears she often sounds nasal and pinched and strained. All the belting battles that I have seen, Lara Fabian outperforms the others. Her belting is outstanding, but she has so many other good qualities as a singer and performer, that she is just so much more pleasurable to hear and watch.

[@dededejereme2284]

Because Lara lowers her larynx which makes her timbre darker so her resonance is not efficient when it comes to those belts that are safe for Céline (A4-D5). In this ‘safe’ belting range Céline has her resonance sounds bright and clear while Lara is resonant too but it’s too dark and it felt like, something is stucking in her throat y’know. Plus, she is not as agile as Céline, her lower notes are pretty invisible, you can see it clearly in her Adagio performance, she can’t support a G#3. Moreover Céline’s headvoice is better than Lara’s. Lara’s Bb5(headvoice) are pushed sometimes

[@williamriviere795]

There is a similar video on the same channel with Lara vs Mariah, and again, they are evenly matched. You'll love it.

[@gregoryjamessnayer7271]

The one aspect that many people say they have in common is that their voices sound very similar. The term "darker" that you seem to like to use...has to do with the DEPTH from where the sound(s) originate. Also, projection ability ties in with what I have just mentioned together with lung capacity (how much air is needed for the execution of every single note and where to place in (with reference to the entire mechanism), etc. While I give recognition to Celine for her contribution in the world of singers and vocal artists, Lara, however, is the one from whom to draw the knowledge and expertise in how to do all of what's needed. Add to that the interpretation of the lyrics or storyline. Lara has/is the full package in terms of delivery, stage presence and performance. Incidentally, from the video clips you show here, it is already more than evident (proof) that Lara is overall the greater of the two, even on performance level. She is at present on a level beyond anyone's reach. I am not putting you down at all, but please consider the following: I have been following a great number of vocal coaches and trainers including you (people who have the necessary experience and qualifications) and nearly 90% of these people agree and state outright that Lara Fabian is indeed the best vocal artist. I sincerely hope that this settles your enquiring mind on issues like "Who is possibly the better or best". There are many really great artists in our world and each one of them must be greatful when they receive acknowledgement for their efforts. Also, not all of them even reach the public eye or the media and remain unknown, so when these come along, we should at least give them recognition.

For me, this will be Celine ALL THE WAY. Lara's belts have always sounded muffled/bottled and too dark for me. Celine is excellent in everything else too (melisma, vibrato speed control, ad libs, intentional rasp and texture variation and improvisations and Lara lacks in all of these). Lara also sounds way more heady past E5, not as chesty and her belts overall do not sound as "full of sound" and metallic as Celine.

[@odettefillon2088]

[@VasilisKourtisMusic]

Celine can go up to G5-A5 with full/chest voice in comparison to Laura that mixes way to early. Celine’s vocals are far more powerful and her tone much more distinctive in my opinion. Not in the same league.

[@Supcharged]

Tbh celine only ever had one balance mixed G5 (the diva live one), the others are either really chesty strained or really heady. Her only chest dominant G#5 was also the one from incognito 1987. Her A5 belts were all later in her career and they were even headier than laras belts.

Lara is singing and sustaining the notes on one word Celine is singing songs that don't require her singing one note but multiple.

[@platon1287]

They are both very good and I'm amazed to see- again- how idiotic are the attacks from Celine's trolls. You should know that Celine's management- not herself- sabotaged Fabian's career in US- "But you know what's interesting - when I had a love story with Fabian, Celine Dion simply hated her. Not an easy situation. I happened to be between both of them. Eventually both women stopped communicating with me. Celine thought that I wrote the best songs for Fabian, that only with her I shared the musical secrets." ( Sony's producer Walter Afanasieff). Lara was talking- very succinct and polite- about this just last year in a documentary about her life. But even so she seems to respect and admire Celine since she wrote a public letter to express her admiration toward her . You know how Dion answered? With silence. In my onion that says a lot about them and why one is so successfully and the other so underrated- even if they are so close- vocally speaking.

[@gonzaloponte2011]

Sorry but this time I disagree: Lara is awesome, but Céline is legendary, there plenty of videos where Céline surpasses Lara’s resonance. Not to mention that Céline’s incredible belting does not stop in G5 as it goes higher up to G#5, A5, Bb5 and even B5 and C6.

I have always loved both their voices, and all this who is better obsession is just exhausting. I don't care, especially as this is subjective. I can not blame anyone for loving one more than the other. If you look at my channels, you'll find that I actually have restored videos from this concert in 1999, as well as some more recent footage from Moscow in 2010. I did this because, while Céline definitely received the international recognition she deserves as an amazing vocalist, this was not the case for Lara, thus I restored some old videos to help people come to know her. You people are here trying to dismiss the talent of Lara Fabian for some reason I cannot fathom. You also all forget she's a musician and a songwriter. Anyways, why not simply accept that we are lucky to have witnessed the presence of these two wonderful voices, as well as other incredible ones like Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. To stand my point about recognition, go and search for top vocalists on Google and chances are high you'll find Céline right there but not Lara. Whatever you are trying to do is so pointless it puzzles me. Whatever you will say will never change the reasons why Lara fans lover her, in the same way that whatever Lara fans could say against Céline could not have any impact on her fanbase. Loving an artist is something inspired by the heart, not by the head, and while I see nothing wrong with comments saying 'I think Céline is better" or "I prefer Lara", comments dedicated to minimize the talent of one or the other just are a disgrace.
