yeah... so I stopped breathing | Lara Fabian "Caruso" Reaction/Analysis

And keep in mind this is before Auto-Tune and amplifying this is how she sounded and she can still sing very well 20 years later.

Italian is such a beautiful language, and that song got incredible lyrics, it's possibly one of Lara's best performances.

[@italianovero220]

Great reaction. I too am a huge fan of Lara. Borderline infatuated with her voice 😂. Also, your technical analysis is wonderful. Even your physiological explanations are very accurate. Great job. Lara is a pure master.

[@sandracarter4983]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time! Sorry I missed this premiere!

[@MrZzyzxx]

this reaction / critique joins the two other best reactions of anyone by anyone - No. 1 is YOUR reaction to Lara's " Adagio " and No. 2 being YOUR reaction to " je suis malade ". Lara is one-of-a-kind and for me is the Ultimate Artist -- she UNIQUELY blends technical proficiency and emotional conectivity with perfect tonal pitch and breath control all while having a power and resonance beyond most singers' ability. Simply put Lara Fabian is the Ultimate Artist .

[@papiboy6290]

I am from Canada (Quebec), I am into punk roch music (Bad religion, Pennywise, etc.). Years ago i had the chance to attend one of her concert, gift whit my mother in law for my birthday. I WAS BLOWN AWAY! If u think she is good on video... Her presence on stage is something else! She is Unbelievable. A big thank you to you Julia, for showing me the technical side of music, wich i dont know much about.

[@coolcat8b]

Lara is known for singing with the whole range of emotions, she lives her songs. She not only sings the song, she transports you in the story. She's amazing and should be (in my opinion) much more celebrated then she is. She's an immortal.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

I can’t argue that!

[@fredschepers5149]

I'll argue that.. 😉 Probably because you stated "you ever heard". It does suggests that you are not fully familiar with the voices of the world. Don't get me wrong... I am a fan of Lara's performances... But this song is most powerful sung by the "The King of the High C's". And he is still considered the century's best lyrics performer. Also one with an extraordinary vocal capacity. And although this is an amazing cover, I have heard similar covers from the same quality... Even from 12 year olds... No hard feelings though. I like Lara as from the 90's. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌷 [Edit] ..... Never mind the great Enrico Caruso himself, from which Luciano Pavarotti himself said, that he was even an greater tenor than him (Pavarotti) self... [/edit]

@@avec-toi and you know you are better than the so-called legend when this legend uses political tricks to block you and prevent you to perform in front of your public and to be promoted in your own market. Celine is great but I prefer Lara in many ways. And It’s sad and unfair René Angeil blocked Lara in the US. Despite this, believe me or not, I wish Celine a complete recovery and I hope she will be able to perform on stage soon again.

[@daray666]

Lara is the better storyteller, but unfortunately she has not a lot of great songs (the best are covers). Also she sounds worse in studio recordings than live. Some of Célines songs for the US market are a tad too loud, I prefer her french catalogue. I couldn’t decide who I like more. Luckily I don’t have to.

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 We all missed you Julia ! Welcome back ! As you well know, Lara is a trained Lyric Soprano, but what many don't know, is that she often goes back to Belgium to continue training ! The best part of her training has made her, probably THE Master, and that is her breathing or breath control ! Lara would admit to being a little bit of a perfectionist, so I am safe in saying, Lara does everything for a reason ! Lara missed your reactions, or maybe that was me ! If you have not already, you must react to "You're not from here", but bring a box of tissues !

[@jylfarm1964]

Her mother is Sicilian and she speak Italian too. Lara Fabian is very language agile. For example, when in Quebec, she can speak a Canadian-French without a hint of European accent. However, she is born in Belgium and does speak European French when she is in Europe. So, for Caruso, I am sure her Italian background help a lot.

[@russelljohnson4527]

she doesn't just SING a song, she genuinely PERFORMS it!

[@VoltaDoMar]

I would say she is doing amazing acting during this song, but I think people would say it's not even acting- she's really feeling these feelings. Maybe, maybe not, but it does appear that way and that's what counts

[@justingamble3876]

TY soooooo much - saw that you took this song on by Lara and could not wait to watch. The dieing Caruso, with a young wife and child...his wife was just 28 he was 45...him telling her how much he loves her...before he died... of a variety of ails but his death was attributed to peronitis.. What an emotional topic for a song. This is of course why this classic by Dalla was really made for Lara. She captures you, wrings you out, to the last note...spellbound you come out of it, maybe clapping, maybe crying, and watch it again. She is The Queen, long may she reign.

[@JohnniKE70]

Thank you, Julia - excellent reaction video😀Yes, Lara is uncomparable♥

Wow! What an entrancing discovery for me of Lara Fabian her indelible rendition of Caruso which I've often heard from Andrea Bocelli and wow Luciano Pavarotti! And now, wow, I had not heard female vocals to this song and a voice live that's so moving and captivating! Thank you, Julia Nilon!

[@D.P.R.Images]

Personally i think Lara isnt about the technicalities of singing a song like constriction or distortion. Lara is, or at least seems, far more immersed in the story, the meaning, the passion, the absolute romantisism of the dialogue and the performance is purely an enactment of those.

[@chrislee1907]

Dramatic ballad.... Broken Vow from this same broadcast might be the one to top them all for me. Love your reactions Julia: insightful, but your love for the music shines through.

[@Mathblade]

Lara's career has been long, and this is definitely Lara as a young but mature artist with full vocal technique under complete control, and with magnificent timber and vocal tone throughout her range. I've never heard better as a 'pop' singer. Most are nowhere even close. Thanks for the reaction, and it's good to see you on KZbin again, Julia

[@Linerwood2000]

All i can say is that when she was very popular in Quebec in the 90s early 2000s, i was 23 yo, i couldn't connect with her but always knew she was "good". Now, 23 years later, i connect a bit too much, she's so great, i can't even believe it. I'm crying like a baby.

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

The almost "angry" gesture you make at minute 9:50 of the video, after the word "afogare", is worth an Oscar. Your gesture of admiration and "displeasure" for such a perfect execution is a marvel. As I have told you on other occasions, I love your way of analyzing and reacting to the interpretations you hear, providing not only very interesting information, but also beautiful gestures. After many years of listening to music, I have not found any artist who has been able to tell a story the way Lara does. Many may not like the way she sings, but she is still one of the best performers of all time (BTW, for me, the best).

[@jamescurfman3284]

Anybody who does not like how Lara sings has big problems, either with their ears or in their brains.

[@Arghishable]

I second that, and will also add that for me, her face at 15:12 (along with her singing ofc) always makes me cry She truely lives the song, the sadness and sorrow in that face as the song about a man last days comes to an end...

[@jamesmacgregor3911]

The way Lara communicates emotion, modulating her tone, phrasing and placement, genuinely makes me emotional. She has a way of bridging a gap between observing her and experiencing your own life's history through her performance. The way in which she chooses to sing (and the songs she sings) give me a sense of future reminiscence. In some of her more famous performances, I see my life and the love that surrounds it. It honestly brings me to such emotion that she can capture the esscence of a lifetime of love like this, not only by what she sings, but how she sings.

If i remember well, those songs are indeed all from the same concert. Every single performance is just outstanding. Now we just miss "Broken Vow.

[@ericsicard910]

Caruso, is an italian song, written, composed and performed in 1986 by Lucio Dalla as a tribute to Enrico Caruso, the most famous tenor of his time (late 19th / early 20th century). He was the first global singing superstar. The story is about the last days of Enrico Caruso, he knows he is dying, and he is remembering all his career on stage and telling his much younger wife how much he loves her. It has very quickly become a classic of italia music and the biggest names have covered it (Julio Iglesias, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, …. and of course Luciano Pavarotti). But for many, Lara's version from the concert From Lara With Love 2000 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIGVfKGCmtKHbZo is the best ever, as she was able, with her unique ability to convey the emotions of a song, to reveal the real sad story written by Lucio Dalla. I was told that Lucio Dalla himself, after hearing this performance, said that she made it her song and this is the best version he has heard from it. For Lara, this song is really important as this is a kind of anthem for Italy, and she is so much connected to this country. She spent the first few years of her life there with her sicilian mother and grandma. Her husband is also sicilian. She also as been living there for the past few months since the end of 2022.

[@hermanmackay8611]

thanks for the summary. this is an amazing performance from a once in a generation performer.

[@michelerubin2731]

Lara Fabia incredible, amazing, the only alternative version to Lucio Dalla. In Italy "the version" is not from Pavarotti, Bocelli o Iglesias, it's Lucio Dalla. He was not only a song writer, but a real poet. This song is not a quality of voice question, but of soul. And also for that... amazing Lara.

Welcome back you brightened my evening! Then there is Lara and the GOAT-Greatest of all Tenors, Enrico Caruso. Since he died in 1921, she doesn't have a relationship with him, but as Jon Lovitz put it so well..... ACTING. She's like a lawyer who's also a doctor, and besides being multitalented, she's also not hard on the eyes. It's not fair. By the way, this was a television special, from Lara with Love in 1999. The whole special is on youtube, and even her White Christmas is awsome.
