I’d highly recommend Adagio by Lara Fabian, the live version. It’s in English so you can understand it without reading subtitles. Her voice is absolutely mesmerizing in that song!

[@evanm1815]

Great reaction. You should do Adagio next, it´s from the same concert.

[@celineboivin9888]

I know Lara Fabian ,she is a star here in Québec and in Europe. What a wonderful and powerfull voice ! Thank you Polo ❤❤

[@woodyheywood8792]

Great reaction Polo...checkout "Caruso" she is freaking amazing

[@nightwood3738]

She’s gorgeous, soulful and this song is intense. Love her. An inspiration to Dimash.

[@timradde4328]

She is amazing. I had not heard of her either till several months ago. Now I can't listen to her enough. You don't hear her singing because you feel her singing to you and your soul.

[@bradsense7431]

She is amazing and has much more for you to react to. Suggest next Caruso.

[@mayageorge1847]

I TOTALLY SECOND THIS. Caruso is one of her best.

[@AzaDio]

I play this song often deom this artist. She is amazing. Great choice.

[@Vaping-AnxietyPT]

Lara is all emotion, an amazing singer. There's only a few like her...

[@gracefuller9981]

Thanks Polo, I’m so glad it was the slightly different thing you were looking for She has an amazing voice

[@MartinWeng]

Love Lara ❤ Love from Denmark ❤

[@ericsicard910]

Your final comment is on point and if you had a video version of this rendtion sourced from the DVD with the introductory mini-interview of Lara, you would have listened her say: "I don’t believe that a language will limit an emotion. So there is not a specific language to say something that comes from the heart, you can say something that comes from the heart in english, japanese, indian, italian, …, it doesn’t matter, as long as it is sincere. I truly believe specific feelings, true feelings, have not limitations, no barriers when it comes to honesty."

[@davesykes1966]

You mentioned once, that she was beautiful. The word doesn't do her Justice. She's living exquisite perfection, those eyes could rule the world ! Keep making diverse musical style videos too. I'm an old Metalhead but I always love seeing what's out there. Good Job Mr Polo !

[@johnthegreek5836]

In my opinion she’s the best female singer, definitely shows the emotion in her performances, definitely watch Adagio, Caruso and Broken Vow from this same concert Lara with Love

[@timradde4328]

Agree.

[@ericsicard910]

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, …) ○ Floor Jansen (Adagio), ○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime), ○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie), ○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow), ○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace), ○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow), ○ Charice Penpengco (Adagio), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Dmitri Hvorostovsky (Adagio), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Gigi de Lana (Broken Vow) ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know), ○ Il Divo (Adagio) ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow) ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Pauline Aguirre (Adagio)), ○ George Peris (Broken Vow, Humana), ○ Vitas (Adagio), ○ Wanessa Camargo (Love by Grace), ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Jeck (Je T’Aime), ○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio), ○ Anne Sila (pas sans toi, Tu es mon autre), ○ The Canadian Tenors (Adagio), ○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio), ○ Sarah Naura Irbah (Mademoiselle Hyde), ○ Elisabetta Rinaldi (Adagio), ○ Alyona Yarushina (Adagio), ○ Marie Payet (Pas sans toi), ○ Laurh (Immortelle), ○ Inger Lise Hope (Adagio), ○ Håkon Sønsterud Tollefsrød (Broken Vow), ○ Flora Tandi (Bambina), ○ Cindy Chao (Yeliel My Angel), ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Abraham Mateo (Adagio), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Russel Watson (Adagio), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ Annointed (Love by Grace), ○ Sevara Nazarkhan (Je t’aime) ○ .... 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 2022 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 completed another popular tour in eastern europe (Czech Republic, Moldavia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkiye, Hungary) and in Canada in april-june 2024. She also appeared as a guest in some big events such as Hauser’s concert in Royal Albert Hall (May 9th 2024). Then, after some rest and a few TV Shows, she will tour France in 2025. The first song of her new album (titled "Ta Peine" - Your Sorrow) was released late January 2024 and is a success in France. Her album is expected to be released in fall 2024. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.

[@mstewart109]

Polo, this song gives me goosebumps. No clue what she is singing. It doesn't matter!! She is amazing. Remember she is a song writer first. Ones she has wrote for so many others. Dimash loves this woman. We can see why..

[@franciscouderq1100]

Thank you eric vous l’écrivez parfaitement et je n’ai pas besoin d’en rajouter. Sauf pour Yentl Medley (1997-1999?centre melton) que j’aime particulièrement

[@ericsicard910]

@@franciscouderq1100 moi aussi, j’adorais déjà le film et je suis un fan de longue date de Michel Legrand, mais c’est quand j’ai découvert le medley Yentl de 1997 que je suis passé d’admirateur à fan absolu et addict de Lara.

[@kellyscott6361]

Thank you for your comment - I think Lara Fabian is beyond incredible! I listened to her for the first time last year and I feel like the person who commented that he is addicted to her. I did not know much about her so I truly appreciate the time you took out of your day to share this information ❤

[@thewayside67]

She always brings tears to my eyes...sometimes of joy, sometimes of empathy and sorrow. Another (not that they aren't ALL) worthy song to react to is her version of Caruso. Absolutely captivating

[@samposampo9432]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!❤👍

[@christerfurberg6538]

The perfect combination of overwhelming emotions and total technical control. Makes me tear up every time

Isn't her singing so touching and amazing, dramatic and heartfelt! Je suis malade: I am sick

[@ildefonsobenitez6624]

Lara is just one of the greatest performers in the world

[@yvesbarriere2922]

Lara sold over 12 millions albums and can sing in 15 languages. She is originally from Belgium and also have the Canadian (province of Québec) citizenship . 'Caruso' (in italian) and 'Adagio' (in English) are also very good tracks. Lara is the favorite singer of Dimash; he was inspired by her stage presence. By the way, I suggested this song few months ago. Good reaction again.

[@legitor513]

Over 20 millions albums

A great recommend.... and yet another great artist I've never seen or heard of ever before. Plus. And an EPIC ending.

Thank you for your reaction. Lara is our QUEEN. She is the BEST !!!

[@rosemariediamond5948]

Lara Fabian doesn’t just sing. She gets into your heart with a passionate performance. You need to check out her performance of Broken Vow from the same concert. She wrote it after a break up. It will really touch your heart

[@raquelra5878]

The way I love to watch people reacting to Queen Lara for the first time! 😍

[@neilcox7879]

She left it all out there on the paddock with that one. Bravo!

[@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) kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3m2qp5qiKynq7s 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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaqsfZeIdrSGbpo

[@Andriig75]

She left nothing out there, mad respect

[@ericzeichert511]

You have entered the Lara Zone, and you can never leave. This special, From Lara with love, is nearly 25 years old, and it's the best special you have never seen. The whole thing is available on KZbin, but you will get requests for most of the individual songs, except for maybe White Christmas, which is merely brilliant instead of jaw droppingly awesome. She is still going strong at 54, and sings in at least 4 different languages, including English.

[@jedroueche8161]

Adagio and Broken Vow from the same concert are a must. Both in English.

[@franciscouderq1100]

So much into it that at the very very end she is shaking her end as she comes back to reality. Master class of story singing and stage presence .

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 25 million records, and plays at sold-out venues worldwide. She lives with her husband and daughter in Montreal, Brussels and Sicily. 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.

Great reaction. Lara is Master Class.

[@guymarcbravoso1341]

Lara's songs are rich and varied 15 records over 140 songs don't be content with her early live performances from the 2000s with these vocal performances Lara is much more than that some spectacular tracks "I an a Wa"kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3yvlX-lrZ5kbqM "l'oubli"kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaDFXpRqqbWBmck "dance"kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHm8mmqojqlkr80 "par amour"kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJvVhZdui8qDbJY "tango"kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6GUhqWBr76nn5I "papillon"kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqu6mqeVosqpgZI and many more to discover Lara Fabian is a true artist, author, composer and performer. a sunny woman who catches you like a moth in the light. lara the best of humanity.

[@guittadabe5214]

Lara was one of Dimash's idols for good reason as he was growing into his own artistry the last 2 decades. That's why he covers so many of her songs (Love is a dream, Mademoiselle Hyde, Love of tired swans, Adagio...) and sang several duets with her. She's one of the best story tellers and perhaps the most emotive singer out there.

[@NAYADEELENANUÑEZVEGA]

Maravillosa Lara ❤❤❤❤

[@orrmeli]

Amazing as usual!!!!

[@mariaisabelaguayo3115]

Te han dado información y si quieres cosas interesantes ,lara Fabian tiene canciones ,en diferentes idiomas (13) habla 4 correctamente.Y siempre interpreta lis temas de manera espectacular , también es compositora , productora filantropa.....

[@maryklever1633]

Listen to her "Adagio" 🙏

[@williwin1554]

I like your soft voice. Lara : one of the very best❗️

[@pcankar]

great reaction. lara is master class.

[@guymarcbravoso1341]

I loved the woman in her 30 year with her intensity and her vocal performances. I loved the 40 year old with her willingness to discover many different musical styles, always with a fabulous voice. And I love the woman in her 50s who has managed to preserve her voice through hard work, adapting to the evolution of her voice while retaining that little bit of enthusiasm and complicity that makes us melt. I will love you forever and ever Even if you start rap

[@larrymcgraw5133]

Polo, I never react to this type of video as there are so many, but your's is special. The expression on your face when hearing Lara Fabian is the same one that I believe I had. Just pulled into the beauty of the moment.

[@nagagab9224]

I saw her live in 2014 in Germany and stood direct in front of her- her voice is superbig and ultra beautiful- similar to Celine Dion`s , but also for sure, she has her own tone and style. She composes all of her music. Her mother is italian and her father is flemic, so she speaks many languages. In France, she is a superstar. She competed in the Eurovision Song Contest, the same year Celine Dion did and won- Lara became number 4. She is a dramatic coloratura soprano and classically trained.

[@orrmeli]

I wish we could hit the like button multiple times lol

[@ceciliacrijnen9254]

Classical training (Dimash too) Absolutely talented. Voice and performance perfection up to minimal details. Extraordinary.

[@tomfoucher-buteau5747]

"Je suis malade " is a song that most of french people know (and like, the original one is from Serge Lama). Lara Fabian has always been seing as "cheezy" singer, here in France. But when i see this version of "je suis malade" and when i see your reaction about it, i realize that i was wrong about her. Thank you. Anyway, i would like to have your reaction about Aerosmith's "Last Child", and i know it's not the same kind of music, but wathever....😊

[@ildefonsobenitez6624]

No, I wouldn't say like "cheezy". Lara was subjected to a violent smear campaign by music critics after a resounding start to her career in France. Critics attacked her because she was distorting the musical world with her powerful voice, her theatrical and dramatic side compared to the musical style of other singers. She was criticized for screaming all the time and she was constantly mocked, while Whitney, Celine or Mariah were never criticized for singing like that. A certain press and media attacked her at a certain point, while today her talent is recognized and considered one of the best singers in the world and of her generation. Her audience, on the other hand, never gave up and always continued to follow and support her throughout her superb career.

[@tomfoucher-buteau5747]

@@ildefonsobenitez6624 Hi, i think what you say is close to what i say. I write "cheesy" cause i'm french and i miss words to say it with more précision 😀

[@ildefonsobenitez6624]

@@tomfoucher-buteau5747 Moi aussi je parle français; J'ai traduis "Cheezy' par ringarde et j'ai développé un peu l'argumentaire car Lara n'a jamais été traité de ringarde. ils lui ont trouvé de nombreux défauts mais pas celui là....Cordialement.

Αγαπητέ η Λάρα είναι η βασίλισσα μας.εινα η φωνή από άλλον πλανήτη όπως την αποκάλεσαν μεγάλοι μουσικοί στήν Αμερική. Καλώς ήρθες στον κόσμο μας καί στον μαγικό κόσμο τής λαρας μας.❤❤❤❤❤❤

she did not sing...she lived the song...even if it's not hers...she is unique

[@timradde4328]

You feel her song in your soul.

She is the best of the best for live music ❤

[@GayleKazanis]

Pretty ❤ grandma can't dance to this one ❤ ✌️ Polo...

[@cellevangiel5973]

This is a very French song, the language, subject, performance, emotions. Italians also would. An American would never write this or perform it this way. Thank you Lara, outstanding, one of a kind. It is rare but I find no words.

[@cottontopprintshop452]

She is so emotional! ANd talented!

[@barbarazangara8051]

Dang! You get big kudos from me for delving into Lara Fabian! I listen to her to sing along and keep up with my French

Increíble y hermosa obra maestra impresionante de Lara Fabián, la mejor cantante e interprete del mundo entero, la voz de cristal más bella y perfecta que existe! Gracias!

Lara is fabulous! Please also react to SIA - Soon We'll Be Found - live at David Letterman! Stunning performance!

[@tiyofacundo8358]

Lara Fabian is still one of the best vocalist in this generation with the heart! Polo... please react on Morissette Amon too... her rendition of Rise up by Andra Day or Never Enough of the Greatest Showman.... Thank you very much and more power

[@janwillems9989]

you sound special, enjoyed your comments

[@remyvermunt8623]

Oh man I was just going to write You to suggest Lara Fabian - Je Suis Malade, but you already discovered her!!! Now next is Dimash Kudeibergen - SOS , the 2017 Chinese contest version Lara Fabian was one of his inspirations

[@REVE_reborn]

Please check her hit song "Tout", superb.

[@tpamctpamc7352]

The song Je suis malade is inspired by a true heartbreak of Serge Lama, the story of a long-secret relationship.

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 This is quite a deep rabbitt hole ! LOL To catch up on everything, find all the comments below from Eric Sicard (our resident expert) ! You started with French, which was brave, but now you must try reacting to "Caruso" in Italian or "Quedate" in Spanish or "Adagio" in English ! You will soon catch up ! 🇨🇦

[@brayonne1755]

Lara is tremendous. I'm in Quebec, we used to make fun of her because she was so over the top dramatic, but nobody ever made fun of her voice, just tremendous 💜 I have some left field for you if you're feeling adventurous - look for a song called Louder Than Bombs by BTS. I dare you!

[@earthlinggiddy8275]

i dont know how your sound eq is setup but thats the best sounding version ive heard 😎

[@ChrissyCancilla]

Ohhh now listen to Adagio..or Broken Vow..or Caruso which made me sob..You're not from here will make your heart ache...every one of her songs....every single one!!! In Adagio she hold one of the longest notes I have ever heard, and right in the middle of it she goes HIGHER!!! oh my Goodness that song gives me goosebumps!!!

[@gabx0729]

She speaks and sings in different languages so I'd suggest to react to the Italian songs " Caruso then "Perdere el amore" in French her live version of "J't aimme" in English "Broken vow" and Spanish "Quedate" ..😊 you can thank me later . She is amazing

[@caiqueparrot5374]

Rabbit hole of all rabbit holes is Dimash! ❤😂

[@GM-yu3dv]

Frenchy here. You should listen to the original singer Serge Lama.

[@guymarcbravoso1341]

[@johnmaletic898]

Well, as far as "Belgian" voices go, there's this guy Loic Nottet. Totally different stuff. Nevertheless, worth a shot.

[@ellenfields-sischka7441]

I love this! So beautiful! The lyrics are translated a bit too literally. Her bed is like a station platform and all the whiskeys taste the same. Meaning she's sleeping with a lot of men, but they blur in her mind because they are not the one she loves. Been there myself, sadly

[@thewayside67]

Lara speaks in multiple languages and sings in even more languages. If you want to hear an amazing emotional performance in English, check out Broken Vow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH-5g2OvgJ14mZo

Your face Polo! What the f is this? What just happened?!

[@ChildofGod83000]

Adagio

[@StevenNewcombe-gd7rd]

This is a cover the original came out in 1973 sang by Serge Lama which I like better.

[@jean-pierreyot5871]

Concerning the lyrics : sometimes difficult to translate from one language to another whilst simultaneously being true to both the meaning and the poetry. The subtitled text is almost a word for word translation and makes the beauty of the original French text unsubtle and heavy handed. Whoever did it could ( should ) have made a better job.

[@caiqueparrot5374]

Dimash ❤ next!

[@TeresitaReed-de6xe]

Have you reacted yet to Dimash Qudaibergen? If you haven’t, react to his song SOS first, see how you like it. He is a singer from Kazakhstan, has 7 to 8 octave range, 6 semi tones currently. He is world famous & has a worldwide fan base. His fans travels, crosses oceans to go to his concerts, I’m one of them, we’re called DEARS by Dimash & owns his own production called Dimashali & manage by his father Kanat. Example: he had a concert at his hometown Almaty, 45,000 fans from 70 countries attended. I know I was there, my 3rd Dimash concert.
