Dimash's Idol? ANALYZING Lara Fabian's "Broken Vow" - MY FIRST REACTION

[@michaellahoud14]

Lara is the Queen of Resonance and vowel coordination. She is The Ring

[@Ozymandi_as]

It's striking how some 'fans' manifest their appreciation for their heroes by behaving in ways that the artists concerned would be embarrassed by.

[@jimmybondy9450]

i have to agree. but honestly, i have never seen this before... no idea who those people are.

[@anneharley5319]

Maybe let it run a bit longer before stopping so that you can hear some continuity. There is no comparison between Lara and Dimash. They are very different artists. You are too focussed on the notes and how they are sung. Try listening to the actual story she is telling. It makes the whole thing more enjoyable

[@user-fk8ky9yi6r]

I will never understand why people sing instead of letting probably the best vocalist ever do her job.

[@annemendes6319]

I totaly agree with you.

[@jimmybondy9450]

why do you guys even watch an analyzing video?

[@chrissearls2007]

Most all of us have heard Lara sing this song (and all our other favorites she sings) a thousand times. We are here (or should be) because we LOVE watching people who are professional and/or trained singers, react to Lara, Dimash and others, and see their jaws drop, and then ask: "Why haven't I heard of this person before now" I still ask how Lara, who is arguably a more classic beauty, and more versatile singer then Celine, didn't become the superstar Celine became. Maybe being married to her manager was the key!

[@user-fw5be2ys1k]

Lara studied for ten years at the brussels conservatoire in operatic technics ! she sings in 14 languages and is fluent in 5 languages and has sold 130 million albums worldwide ! and you have the nerve even to mention her name ! shame on you !! she is a pianist ! can play the violin ! she has composed many instrumentals ! wrote many songs ! has a singing academy ! and she writes books on Cookery ! these are but a few of her attributes ! she is married and has a daughter ! and she has beaten Cancer ! anything else you would like to know just ask !! and she is Stunningly Beautiful !!!!

What an amazing song with incredible performance...sadly it's lost on the reactor. It's probably why she likes Dimash, just vocal acrobatic and techniques.

[@forzadeportivo]

That's a shame,that you didn't choke on the water bottle so you'd stop singing falsetto and covering lara's voice,and then we could actually hear her

[@Ozymandi_as]

Don't be so childish. If you want to hear Lara without interruptions, you know where to go.

[@drigao16]

No surprise a middle aged man doing comments like these, such misoginy and disrespect.

[@user-fw5be2ys1k]

Lara has the best female voice on the Planet !

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 Lara writes, sings, produces and arranges most of her performances ! She is still performing and had concerts earlier this year and some concerts to come later this year ! She is performing this month, even as you bash her ! Her voice and performances are still as good as they were in 1999 (this concert) and she just turned 54 ! 🇨🇦

[@ioioio2159]

"As good as Dimash?" Really? She has a career as a singer and songwriter of 30+years, sold more than 20 millions records worldwide, studied singing, piano and composition for 10 years at Brussel Conservatory, had a number one on Billboard for 58 weeks, worked with John Williams, David Foster, Walter Afanasieff, Dave Stewart; her songs were covered by Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban, Floor Jansen etc, trainees vocally all of her career-every day- for at least 1h, still maintain her tone and reaching those big notes and you reduce her to Dimash? He was copying her style but they are very different- he wants to show off his vocals, she's respecting the message of her song. She trained so hard just to be able to let her voice to convey the emotions. Btw- she was/is so good that Celine Dion's husband sabotaged her career on US.

[@renanrpm]

Calm down, maybe she just doesn’t know about Lara’s path and did the best comparison she could with what she had on her mind. Why do you all need to bark and foaming with everything as your first reaction?

[@ioioio2159]

​@@renanrpm Well, she should be grateful now- someone has done the work for her. If you want to earn some money/fame/whatever from someone's else work, without knowing anything about that person, at least have the decency of not using idiotic click baits. Comparations without knowing is a sign of ignorance. Btw- I hope that she will think a little why are so many negative comments- at least from the marketing point of view.

[@renanrpm]

@@ioioio2159 No, she doesn’t need to research about Lara’s life, she’s reacting to her vocals, not to her entire existence. You are the ignorant one for not understanding that, probably you are one of those fanatic fans that wants everyone to know about your fav artists. This is the real idiotic stuff… If you don’t like her work, just get out, you are not bounded to be here just to being an asshole.

[@ioioio2159]

@@renanrpm You're not very good at logic, aren't you? First of all- as she's on KZbin I have the same right as you at commenting at (she's even asking for it). Second- I have a problem with her using THAT disrespectful clickbait. It's about decency and accountability. If you don't have a clue about someone voice/career why you're not using your common sense and stfu instead of making ignorant comparation? If she likes to use idiotic click baits she should be open to criticism as well. I'm not a fanatical fan and without that nonsense clickbait I would have cared less about this reaction. Don't worry- that will be my first and last time watching her- from the comments it looks like I won't be the only one either.

[@SilentAssassin01234]

@@ioioio2159 You’re an arsehole. Have some compassion and stop expecting anything from anyone and you’d be less angry and potentially more happy. I am assuming you’re not from the tone of your writing. You may think you’re doing good work by correcting her. But instead you come across as patronising and anything but what a fan should be. Be better.

[@rlew49ers]

This song was the finally of her PBS Televised concert from Montreal "From Lara with Love". Lara does write beautiful lyrics. Every song from this concert is spectacular with songs sung in French, Italian, Spanish and of course English. Lara was destined to become the next "Diva"; unfortunately due to circumstances related to her current record label and objection of the management team of the labels existing "Diva" the broadcast was not air in primetime but after midnight! (Eric Sicard can correct this statement if incorrect). Lara is a huge fan of Barbra Streisand and visa versa here is a video of their first encounter: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnWzimSNop2FpJY Lara has been mentioned in the same breath as Whitney, Mariah & Celine. Here's a video entitled THE VOCAL TRINITY - THE 4TH VOICE - LARA FABIAN kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqlZ6mOecmNeLs

[@user-ys1jq6kr8z]

It's this particular individual's reaction _not_ yours. If don't want the video/performance interrupted simply watch Lara do her thing _elsewhere_

[@ericsicard910]

The music of Broken Vow was co-composed by Walter Afanassiev and Lara Fabian. Walter Afanassiev, an american/brazilian from russian descent, is a legendary composer and producer (he co-composed some of the greatest initial hits of Mariah Carey such as All I Want for Christmas is You or Hero and was the producer of the Titanic soundtrack that increased Celine Dion WW fame). He is produced a song for Dimash among others. When this song was composed, Walter and Lara were engaged, they were living in San Francisco’s bay area, but apparently he cheated and she decided to break up. When she took this decision, that she knew would dramatically change both her personal and professional destiny, she wrote these incredible lyrics. Lara has said this is her preferred english song from all the songs she wrote in this language (there are many, and some are pure jewels). One reason is also because this song has then been covered by the greatests: - Barbra Streisand (she performed it in concerts from one of her tour but never recorded it), - Josh Groban (his cover made this song famous in US, she is her friend and role model and he made several duets with her), - Linda Eder, - Cakra Khan, - Gigi de Lana, - Regine Velasquez, - Almira (from 4th Impact), - Katrina Velarde, - Julie Anne San Jose, - Sarah Geronimo, - Morissette Amon, - Petra Berger, - Harrison Craig, - Rimar, - Jackie Evancho, - … For Jackie Evancho, and at the request of Jackie's parents who found the original lyrics were not a good fit for a young girl, Lara rewrote Broken Vow in french as "Imaginer" with a complete different meaning. But the original from Lara remains the absolute reference kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXuleHZ_bcaGe5Y

[@matthale5088]

I think you really love the sound of your own voice

[@7around1]

Several people are complaining about the continuous interruptions, in which you explain, to new singers, the secrets of the trade when you have in front of you one of the best performers of all time (she is my favorite). The styles of each singing analyst must be respected, their knowledge must be valued and appreciated. Great reaction

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 You come across as ridiculing her ! If you value professionalism, at least pronounce her name correctly (Lara, not Laura) ! You come on here with preconcieved ideas and a know-all attitude as a 'vocal coach' and do not possess a tenth of the knowledge and talent that she has ! 🇨🇦

[@SilentAssassin01234]

You have no idea.

What's up with these Lara fans????? Lara herself would be so sad to read such comments, you guys has no education and only blind arrogance. Thank you for your analysis.

[@LouismarieBelanger]

LARA. First time watching you. Looks like it won't be the last one. She has two native languages : french from belgian father and italian from her sicilian mother. She's fluent in english, her grandfather was an american from Detroit. She studied spanish in Spain. She's Fluent in that one too. She sings in eight other languages. Dimash made alot of covers of her songs and she wrote one especialy for him.

[@charbelgebrael]

[@gregoryjamessnayer7271]

Hi, Erika. I appreciate that you reacted to this song by Lara. I respect especially your analysis on her voice. However, it is crucial for any vocal Coach to make the connection between the execution or delivery of a song and it's lyrics. Like in stories and poems, there are phrases, pauses, moments of silence, etc. Then is something called style. Yes, some songs may require styles, but in this song there is nothing that Lara does here that can or should be pinned to "stylistic". It's her interpretation of the lyrics (what the story is about) that gives direction to what is required both vocally and physically. One can clearly see how her body language and facial expressions change in line with the discourse of the text/lyrics. It takes tactic, skill and experience to master all in any one performance. Dimash's vocal approach and state performances all goes back to her influence. She has been his inspiration from more or less the start of his career. If only you had taken into account the lyrics, you would immediately have noticed also the emotional journey throughout the song. So, there are occasions when one should rather follow the lyrics at least to a point where the story starts making sense or listen to the song in it's entirity before analyzing or commenting. Again, I thank you for your reaction - your comments and especially your analysis.

[@bigman1942]

[@timothyblack3322]

Perhaps the most stupid comment I’ve seen in a longtime. When you see 25 minutes on a reaction video should have been clue #1. Clue #2 right from the start she says I am going to be stopping & starting the video. Clue #3 she actually stops & begins teaching vocal techniques that Lara is using while she sings. Perhaps your young & did not know this channel is about teaching the viewers, or your old & bitter. IDK.

[@Marcusrafaelfet]

Loved the reaction. You talked about how she blends her registers so well and one thing I've always thought about her is that she has such a great ability of keeping the same quality, the resonance ring in her entire range, I mean, she can manipulate her tone but the quality is very consistent and everything sounds so fluid and perfectly connected. Lara is one of my favorite singers in the world, she is really amazing and her voice is so well preserved to this day. I love her performance of Je Suis Malade from 2003 where she sings without a microphone, she is soo theatrical and sings wich such emotion.

[@erikatorresmusic_]

You’re SO RIGHT that was a great way to put it - her sound is so blended and consistent throughout every register. Definitely different than a lot of the singers I talk about here and so so beautiful

[@mhaddeman]

React first with some stops to say what you like. For the rest an expression on you face is reacting also. After that start analyzing the song by playing it again and then interrupt and talk as mucb as you want. It is nice to hear and watch with you together. After that you play it again with al what you want to say and explain. This is how some vocal trainers do this. First enjoy the clip than afterwards analyse so yhat we can see your reaction and emotion watching with us.

[@ZorbaRobPhoto]

Sigh. Some of y'all are killing me with the hate. This is very clearly a channel about deep vocal analysis and that's exactly what Erika did. And as far as I'm concerned, it was all relevant to Lara and very positive. If you want to navel-gaze at someone sitting there watching a video you've already seen a hundred times and then say "Wow that was great, I loved it, please like and subscribe, bye!", there are literally dozens of those out there. You are all acting in the most un-Lara-like manner possible and you're embarrassing yourselves. Lara is one of the most generous, kind, gracious, and humble singers (and humans) in the world. Some of the vitriol in this comment section is so unbecoming of her fans. Erika, you did a great job. I enjoyed your commentary and your humor and discovered many little details about Lara's performance I hadn't known before. Thank you! As for being Dimash's idol, yes, she is. Apparently he listened to her as a child and was inspired by her passion and technique. But let's be clear, if you listen to her entire career and portfolio of more than 30 years, he's nowhere near her level yet. I'm pretty sure he would admit the same. I hope to see more analysis from you regarding Lara as she has many wonderful performances to dig into. To all who left respectful and positive comments or none at all (no matter how you felt), my rant wasn't directed at you.
