Vocal Coach Reacts To Lara Fabian | Adagio | Live | Ken Tamplin

Vocal Coach Reacts To Lara Fabian | Adagio | Live | Ken Tamplin
If you guys aren’t familiar with Belgian-Canadian singer Lara Fabian, today is your lucky day. Lara is an absolute force.
Lara was born in Brussels but moved to Sicily where her mother was from until, she was 5. After moving back to Belgium she took up singing and dancing at 8 years old.
She went on to compete in many European singing contests including Eurovision in 1988. She ended up finishing fourth in the competition and her song “Croire” sold half a million copies.
In 1990 she moved to Canada and started a music label. She released a self-titled album in French which eventually went platinum in Canada but found her breakthrough with her 1993 album “Carpe diem”, which went gold after three weeks and triple platinum the following year.
Fabian also provided the voice for Esmerelda in the French release of Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1996.
In 1996, she became a Canadian citizen and has gone on to sell over 20 million records worldwide.
Today I’ll be reacting to an epic performance of her hit “Adagio”. I hope you all enjoy the video and please be sure to let me know what you thought!

As time goes by, people will do her justice and they will recognize she is the GOAT: no other singer has half much of her talent. She sings fluently in 4 languages, she embodies her songs, she wrote most of her songs, she has an incredible vocal range, several of her covers are considered better than the originals (some even think she wrote these songs).

I seen Celine's show in Vegas. What a disappointment. Clearly using "Autotune" and recorded voice tracks. And when she did use her own voice, the screeching was unbearable ! If my sister in law hadn't insisted on seeing this mess of a performance I would have walked out ! She was gushing after the show, "did you see the gowns" ? Like I give a crap about dresses. And anyone that say's Celine doesn't use "Autotune" is full of crap. I have been a musician for 60 years, I know it when I hear it !

[@luke_y_444]

Adagio is incredible music, Lara is the most impressive singer of the last 30 years, and your video is perhaps her best interpretation of Adagio in English. I never bought one of his albums, it's not my kind of music, but there's no one who gives me so much emotion. It lasts 5 minutes, and it constantly rises in emotion, this interpretation is stratospheric, out of the ordinary. This woman is not from this world XD I love your videos Ken, thank you for your work !

[@mjcole12]

You say she lost breath on that last belt but if you watch again...after that last long note...she pauses, and exhales! She had plenty of breath. I think when Lara is singing, whatever you're hearing is what she wants you to hear...

[@mjcole12]

...she actually makes a point to visibly exhale...pretty sexy if you ask me

Very stoked Ken finally chosen a vocal and emotional giant such as Lara to react and comment on. Personally I prefer Ken to react to Lara's "Je Suis Malade" but "Adagio" is good too. Maybe next time eh?

[@kentamplin]

Maybe.

[@Caikey]

She still manages to reach the same notes that she used to.. she always sang adagio half step down the original key and in 2018 she started singing it in the original key.. she still reaches up to g5 singing broken vow. Of course she aged, shes 50 now but saying that "it has cost her her higg notes" thats not accurate.. 2018 and 2019 are all over youtube to prove that

[@kentamplin]

👍

[@tommylarsson2025]

I'm glad she is human! The way she put her emotion in this song is breathtaking! I can buy that some of the schoolbook stuff is not always in place. And you need to be trained to even hear it, which most of us isn't. Her combination of technique and emotion is stunning. Such a dynamic singer. Thanks for sharing!

[@artmanjohn2]

Ken, I've listened to some other performances by Lara doing "Adagio" and believe it or not, she ends this song basically the same way every time. Her not going into a vibrato at the end of the last note IMHO is probably intentional on her part. Every performance I've seen of her singing of this song ends exactly the same way and I've seen quite a few. I'd love you to critique Lara's song and performance of "Broken Vow" from this same concert, "From Lara With Love" in 2000. As always, love your channel!

[@francoisrenelacasse5602]

No one can EVER be on top of this interpretation... That will be a CLASSIC

[@kentamplin]

😀👍

[@hoanganh9769]

The last part where she changed vibrato to straight tone made me think if this is some kind of art thing. The song Adagio means tempo, she IS finding the tempo of her life, to get that strength and courage and stuffs, so it is not simply about finding a man that we all thought. And again, the fact that she changed vibrato to straight tone means that she has found the right tempo.

[@pacscanadadatabaseservices3711]

Lara is classically trained like Dimash since age 5. She's French Italian living in Canada. She does a trio with D imash and Aida Garifullina and wrote the lyrics to Dimash's new masterpiece Your Love. Not to be missed.

[@kentamplin]

Thank you!

[@stephanieellis5399]

I think others may have already commented on these, but the couple of critiques you made on her technique where "she should have been able to..." regarding breathiness, vibrato are choices she made. The critique is good to mention for those still learning because mastering how to do something "properly" or "correctly" is important to then being able to make that artistic choice. That breathiness she's chosen to use here she doesn't choose for other songs, and sometimes for different performances. Ten years of studying at the Conservatory in Brussels is one thing; a solid foundation of technique to build that artistry. Continuing lessons to this day, not relying on "I'm a professional and I know what I'm doing" but always desiring to work on her craft is another. This is a woman who KNOWS her instrument and has never allowed others to pressure her into pushing the limits of what her voice can do, like some other singers have.

Hello very perfect voice and song very emotional lara Fabian is a icon and legend artist of the world thank you good day all people kiss and love all people peace

[@miroroguez8363]

Hello Ken, I'm a Lara fan, she is the best singer ever. I prefer adagio in Italian, and I recommend to you, she wrote both, Italian and English texts with the music of adagio to Albioni. She sing in French, italian, English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Turkish, Russian, Jewish, Greek, Azerbaijan, and napolitan and Sicilian of course. I know Italian, Spanish,English and napolitan very well so I can say she sing perfectly in this 4, naturally, she speak fluid French, italian, English and Spanish so is easily for her, but singing in Russian or Turkish or Greek and do it well is remarkable. It's not so easy sing in two languages, make that in twelve is amazing! I recommend earing her in all languages...and tell me what you think.👍

[@kentamplin]

That is pretty amazing, miro roguez!

[@angialfa]

She is half Sicilian from Catania.....

[@hornerinf]

She never lost control of anything. Her performances are all masterclasses. I don't think you have gone deep enough into Lara's work to truly understand why she is head and shoulders above all of the other great singers like Celine, Mariah, Whitney, etc. It's about the total person. While the legends we all know because of their coverage in the media are excellent, all of them are a commercially packaged production. And, they act like it. Lara is genuine and a very sweet person, who refused to be commercially controlled. That gives everything she does a true honesty and really heartfelt emotions. I think many of the other great singers leave me cold. I worked with many big names in my career but Lara just "feels" better than them all. I never liked to compare Celine or Mariah to Lara. Totally different emotional styles. One singer, with whom I had the pleasure of working, was Karen Carpenter. Now she was a singer who made you feel every single word and you felt her honesty. Never full of herself. Totally sweet and humble. Another favorite is Agnetha from ABBA. Beautiful lady and amazing singer. There is a huge difference between a vocal entertainer and an artist. Don't get me wrong. The "legends" are still phenomenal. I am a big fan of Mariah for sure. But Lara just has a resonance in her voice that can't be equalled. Many times you can hear all of the overtones as she sings. That's probably why the call her The Ring. Her songs also are very very deep and full of passion and sensitivity. Again, setting her apart from other "commercial" artists. It's a total package Lara brings that has won her so many loyal fans. She sings in 12 languages! But also she moves people who natively speak those 12 languages. Hard to beat.

[@bernadetteestrera8555]

Better than Celine. The consummate performer. It takes more than a great voice, which she has, it’s her ability to connect with her audience.

[@MrRoziuke]

Oh yes , Lara is one of the best contemporary singers & most artistic for sure . "Adagio" is very emotional of course , but her duet with Johnny Hallyday(the legend and the icon of French rock ,one of the best selling rockstars worldwide ) "Requiem for a fool" is probably most intense performance I've ever seen , it's worth checking out & reacting to .

Besides listening to Lara and watching her beauty express itself here are some interest facts I found out about her. She is the only child of Pierre Crokaert, who is Flemish, and Maria Luisa Serio, who is Sicilian. Fabian’s parents recognized her talents early on and enrolled her in the Royal Conservatory of Brussels when she was just eight years old. She actually sings in eleven languages: French, English, Spanish, Italian, Flemish, German, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Portuguese and Russian. And as far as speaking she is also multilingual, she speaks Italian, French, Spanish, Sicilian, English and Flemish. She's not only beautiful and talented, she's really smart. I feel this is part of her appeal and what makes her who and what she is.

[@kentamplin]

Yay!!!

[@elizabethwhite1068]

This concert, From Lara With Love, was filmed in Montreal to introduce her to the U.S. The whole thing is a master class and a great place to start. Going down the Lara rabbit hole on YT is the greatest thing ever!

[@nicholasgiaquinto3278]

Just love her! Emotionally off the charts as a singer. She's all in! A lot to learn from her when watching her. React to Je Suis Malade Live it is going to cut right through your heart. I know there is a lot of comparison to Celine But they are very different singers. Lara is a warm blanket that wraps you up Celine has a twang and nasal quality to her voice it just depend on your taste.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for your insight Nicholas! Rock on!

@@kentamplin hey Ken how can I send you a video of me singing directly to you I'm not really looking for a detailed critique because I know your time is very important but I just wanted to show you after taking your course for 6 months now where my voice has come from never singing before at all. Just a thumbs up will do if you think I'm on the right path I really appreciate your singing course it's so helpful and I get little breakthroughs all the time things that I never even thought were possible so thanks again.

Wooow what a awesome performance

[@jod6cindy]

Ken, I think Lara Fabian is a superb and sublime artist, but I wonder if there are any versions of her singing this song where she keeps a full and constant vibrato on the last note? I'm not criticizing her in any way, shape or form because I think she's exquisite. I was just wondering about it. Thanks for your EXCELLENT work.

[@fposmith]

She is Italian. Born in Belgium. Raised in Sicily then moved to Canada. Lara has no peer's. She is in a class all by herself. No mortal can touch her.

[@kentamplin]

Thank you, Douglas.

[@manofiske3318]

Moved to Quebec as an adult after having been "raised" for the most part, in Belgium. She did indeed spend the first years of her life in Italy.

[@jennequinjean-francois2610]

[@darcsen6549]

Lara fabian has good open throat that create great resonance with opera style(i mean low larynx) in high notes and belting

The best vocal.lara Fabian the best

[@kentamplin]

She's awesome, Miriam!

[@KennyChesney-u8z]

Wow kEN, YOU OFFER SUCH WONDERFUL CRITIQUES. YOU'RE SO KNOWLEDGEABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXCELLENT CRITIQUE ON ADAGIO BY LARA fABIAN. aS I MENTIONED ABOUT THIS SONG EARLIER IN A COMMENT I MADE. I THINK LARA HAS BEEN HEARTBROKEN REAL BAD, SDOOO BAD SHE REMEMBERS THE PAIN AND AGONY OF IT AND IT COMES OUT IN SOME OF HER SONGS. ANOTHER ONE IS Je SUIS MALADE, BUT NOT QUITE EMOTIONAL AS ADAGIO. Lara IS AN ACTRESS THE CONSUMMATE PERFORMER, LIKE ELVIS WAS I'M NOT OVERRLY PROUD OF HIS MOVIES . ONE THING IS FOR SURE, SHE RETAINED WHAT SHE WAS TAUGHT AT THE CONSERVATORY.

[@vallis1469]

Late to the party...but I'm sure you noticed her last emphasis with that final profound, deliberate breathlessness at the end. I found that touch spectacular! Thanks for the review.

[@kentamplin]

Valli S 👍

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

One of all-time favorite vocalists. I remember that Disco era hit she had. Blew me away. It's my belief the American recording industry shifted away from promoting her more because they had Celine Dion. Fabian's voice is very close. Sort of like Elvis Presley and Terry Stafford.

[@kentamplin]

👍

[@dredh8802]

Actually when I listen to Celin Dion she reminds me of Lara :) Both are great, but I enjoy listening to Lara more, Salut

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for sharing, DRED H!

[@lyraverdaderoeleonora1998]

Great technique, emotions, my fave Lara👍👏👏👏💕🌈💖

[@DoggieFosters]

You paused right at the worst place to pause! Lol.Glad you backed up. I don't know that I agree she lost much at all over the years. She has a rep for having a famously healthy technique. She makes a lot of choices in different songs at different times, but she's not using the same costly technique(s) exclusively. If she's had any issues the past several years I think they trace to the accident where the tech sent 1000hz (?) Into her ear monitor, knocking her to the ground and sending her to the ER. Resultant ear problems, infections left her with some permanent damage. There's a fan vid called Lara vs Lara vs Lara on youtube with clips from the same songs over 20 years you might get a kick out of watching. Anyway thanks for the reaction.

[@Jeki_toki]

I doubt that a sound frequency of 1000 Hz could damage the ear. Maybe just a loud sound in decibels meant. But singers reach and perform to note F8 (~5500 Hz) while singing

[@Love_Lara]

It was a freak accident. She couldn't even stand her kid's voice and was in isolation, I think for 9 months. And now she has Meniere's disease as a result.

[@kentamplin]

Yikes!

[@DoggieFosters]

@@Jeki_toki Honestly, the kHz didn't make sense to me, but it was from a really bad English translation, so the translator might have gotten their units wrong. It resulted in severe edema and repeated infections because she tried to get back to/keep doing her concerts. Knowing now that Meniere's resulted, well damn. What a nightmare for anyone, much less a singer. 🤐

[@vantuandang7761]

@FeatherStep I think this is a fail (she seldom does this, but I think she could sustain the vibrato). Indeed, I watched other interpretations where she could sustain the note. To be fair, we have to remember that Adagio comes at the end of the concert where each and every previous performances are legendary.

[@AndySaenz]

Wow, she’s amazing! I do agree she sounds like Celine Dion! But it’s reminiscent of her right after Celine won Eurovision in 1988, that was the contest that really launched her career. Celine is French Canadian, she started out releasing French albums at a very young age. So perhaps Lara Fabian grew up listening to Celine?

[@kentamplin]

Could be.

[@davidcullen6797]

Lara's "Canadian-ness" is by way of naturalization. She is Belgian with a Sicilian mother (her father at one time sang back-up vocals for Petula Clark!). She came to North America to crack the US/Canadian market but returned to Europe in about 2004. BTW, Celine Dion and Lara were in the same Eurovision contest in 1988. Celine took first, Lara fourth. You did know, I suppose, that Lara wrote this song? Anyway, I'm surprised you didn't comment on that gasp she does at the end of Adagio; you cut it off each time so missed it. As someone below has already suggested, watch "Je Suis Malade" from this same concert. Heartbreakingly beautiful..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mofZnaCmpJqab80

[@foortiz]

I am not sure if you think Adagio was composed by Lara. She probably wrote the lyrics because the music was composed by Tomaso Albinoni, an Italian composer from the baroque period, another example of a “pop” song that originates from classical music.

[@mamymimma]

I read she translated Adagio into various languages - wonderful artist!

[@kentamplin]

Wonderful!

[@Cilloux972]

So happy you have chosen this song and appreciate your reaction! I didn't notice this lack of compression in this song. You don't miss a thing! I'm a french singer and we don't work our voice with as much support as in the United States in popular music. Some people think that it is even dangerous for the voice, but I think it's because of our culture. Lara had to find a place, an audience in France, and she deserves that her talent be recognized everywhere. She is a very generous and very talented singer.

[@kentamplin]

Happy New Year! 🎉🍾🥂

[@Cilloux972]

@@kentamplin Thank you ! Happy new year to you !

[@EmanuelRecemConvertido]

She took the incomplet melody of this 2 centuries song and wrote a lyric. That's how Adagio starts in her hands, back in 1999.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for sharing that with us, Manny!

[@elizabethwhite1068]

Adagio was written and published in 1958 by Remo Giazotto. He said he based it on a scrap of music from Albinoni but that scrap hasn't been found.

[@jullianruiz1324]

Yayyyy you said it‼️

[@lilaladdada]

She is of Belgian and Italian origin, she started to make a career in France but unfortunately there is too much criticism (of the kind she does not sing she shouts etc) then she had his period in Russia where she worked with Igor Krutoy (the same one who composed for Dimash to whom she also wrote the lyrics to a song "your love") and she currently lives now in Canada and finally the French love her ah la la those French lol: thank you very much for this reaction I really like Lara who sings with her guts as we say in French. Merci encore 🙏🌹🇫🇷
