I recommend "Je t'aime" live in Paris, if you wanna know how MUCH her fans love her!

[@LouismarieBelanger]

It was thwe experience of Serge Lama a french author and singer. Lara sent him a demo of her version and h asked her to come in Paris to meet him and they went on french tv and sang that song togeter. After that he said " It's all yours now."

Hallo Bob, as a fellow countryman of Lara, she is Belgian/Canadien, i am the most subjective superfan of them all. You started your comment whit her way of breathing. I can not more be agree whit you. She lift her breathing up to an other level like it is written down on the sheetmusic. I call it a new form of art. I have seen this video over and over again and every time it touch me more and more.it grabs

Hi Gert. After I finished recording this reaction, I literally just sat at my desk with my jaw hanging open. It was disbelief on how it touched me so much. She's amazing.

[@linmonash1244]

Great to see you have discovered Lara. She is way WAY up there with a VERY small handful of 'the best of the best' female vocalists of all time. Professional singers, of all stripes, regard each and every one of Lara's performances as Master Classes. No-one does love & loss with the nuance, sensitivity and sheer emotional power of Lara. Lara is a word painter, and master craft story-teller where, with micro-intentionality, she fully 'inhabits' the lyric, and brings her audience along with each note and - as you observed - every pause and breath between. [ * Highly recommend you see her ' Broken Vow' and also the best version ever performed, by any-one, anywhere, any time { in my humble opinion! } of ' Caruso' - and so much more. ] Lara is a great songwriter as well as vocalist, but this is her version, of another's; Serge Lama, who was, allegedly, referencing his despair at a hopeless love affair he conducted with a married woman. { So the story goes; the woman eventually did leave that marriage and they did get together, but it didn't last. Another of life's little ironies. Be careful what you wish for ! } Enjoy.

[@ericsicard910]

One correction about Serge Lama story: Serge and Michelle met in 1969, he wrote Je suis Malade in 1973, she shortly after broke with her husband et joined Serge, they got married in 1981 and had a son one year after and they were married until her death in 2016. So about 30 years living together.

Lara is the best off the best

[@jimballard1895]

if not the greatest performance of all time then certainly on the podium. I have never seen a singer who so completely LIVES their performances as does Lara Fabian. Every song is a story and Lara not only tells the story as the composer intended but INVITES the audience to travel WITH her into the journey. For me anyway I think she is the ULTIMATE ARTIST -- her technical prowessm her tremendous range. the warmth of her tones, the clarity of her words, the natural timbre ................. all come together in a very, very rare way

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

You need to start a reaction channel. You described that perfectly. :)

"people just don't sing like that" - very true brother. But sorceress Queen's do. Lara casts a spell on you, sucks you in. You are mezmorized but I think you are charmed, compelled to listen. While charmed she plays around inside you head and heart for a while. with or without your permission, preparing you for what is needed and where you need to go. And the voice...oh, the voice. "people just don't sing that" - They don't. But magical Queens do....and Lara is the Queeniest, Queen, Queen, Queeny Queen, of all time...our Queen, long my she reign.

You have the short version..#1, and the ending,( during the standing ovation) ,you will see her shaking/ trembling from being overwhelmed by the expression of this piece,#2 at the 3rd line in..during the accapella section, she puts her mic all of the way down by her knee , because the belt...would have blown the mic ,n, you hear her as plain as can be ..as though it was up by her mouth..!!?? " POWER MUCH" in that petite body??? 3rd the beginning of the last note ,til she comes fully back... timed by 3 music producers..2 full minutes...that is a pro.. getting into character!!

She held that last note for almost 20 seconds...Incredible air & control.

[@dcchiasson5991]

There's a similar performance by Lara of this song with only the piano to accompany her. In that one, she sings the acapella part without even a mic, and it's amazing! I had heard Lara's recordings and wasn't that impressed. It's her live performances on You Tube that got me down the rabbit hole!

I wanted to know every single nuance, squeeze everything I could out of each performance. 18 months later I am a die hard Lara nut for life. She is the Queen, long may she reign.

She totally 'became' another person and had to take a few moments to re-enter. So powerful, so emotive. Agree with you about the most impactful song of hers from her vast repertoire - or anyone's.

Lyrically I think the song is brilliant as is the way she portrays it. She completely captures the feeling one would have when losing the most important person in your life.

[@anniebygrave9300]

Nobody died, nobody left. The affair is still ongoing and has been ongoing for 2 years, but the man comes and goes whenever he pleases, leaving her utterly distraught and sick to the core. She knows the love is killing her and says if it continues she will eventually die alone. Although he comes to her, she feels alone even when he is sleeping next to her. She feels completely used, a nobody, with nothing left of her life. I know what she is singing about because it happened to me many years ago. Even if you have never experienced it, you can get what she is singing about. This is not her song but she has totally made it hers. At the end she trembles, still in the moment for minutes afterwards. This is 'method singing' at it's best, and it hurts her deeply, you can see it. Can't say any more than that. She grips your heart when she sings this. My God.

Bob, a true prodigy who was "discovered" as having the potential to be a great, great singer in the back seat of her father's car when she burst out in song and her father had to pull over to listen. This particular Concert ( 1999-2000 time period) was filled with a ton of great music and the people in the audience at the conclusion of this song stood up as one and wildly applauded Lara. I wish you would have played the video in it's entirety because while they were giving her a standing ovation Lara remained very still on stage trying to gather herself, to get herself out of the song. What a breathtaking performance by Lara and you were so right to point out the highlight of the song was not the music, nor the sad lyrics, but rather her emotional delivery and the phenomenal ending.

To me, this song was truly one of the best live performances by any singer I have ever witnessed. Lara is amazing with her delivery. Thanks for the reaction! There is a video worth reacting to by Lara with her audience in a Paris concert years ago. The song is 'Je t'aime' with the opposite vibe from this song (obviously from the title). It was at a time when she had a lot of personal stuff going on and was at a low point. I guess it had been known publicly. The crowd began the song for her and the back and forth is absolutely amazing. The original has over 45M views but the link below is of the same quality and has English and French subtitles which the original does not... It is well worth a reaction just as an audience-artist event like no other! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYG9haiOltutiZI

@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind Don't you find this lyrics beautiful?! If you're feeling down the best way is letting it go.

I think that pain must exit: if people "swallow" the pain, they can't get free from what caused it and they will add another problem to what they already have! 😊

Bob, thank you for your heartfelt reaction to Lara's masterpiece performance of "Je suis malade". Like many others, I am sorry that you picked a video that didn't show Lara getting into character, or how the emotions she brought to the song, affected her at the end. I am a musician in my 70's and fell into the Lara rabbit hole 18 months ago. She has a magical way of drawing you into her performances and holding you under her spell. It has been said many times but you my friend are screwed, and I can't wait to see you in awe of Lara once more. Lara is singing beautifully to this day and there are fancam videos of her performances of last month.

Hello my friend. Greetings from The Netherlands. I've been suffering from a Lara Fabian addiction for a while now and your reaction is in my view spot on. To cap this you should have a look at "Je t'aime" and "Parce que tu pars". The first one shows the dedication her public has for her as a person and singer and in the second song she exposes a sense of devastation when someone has taken his(her) own life. And THAT reflects back to her own 'almost'-suicide in the past.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hey Dirk. Always love hearing from the Netherlands. My mother was born and raised there. Je t'aime is high on the list. It's been recommended by quite a few people. Thanks for the listen!

[@ericsicard910]

You probably know already that Lara is half-flemish, understand perfectly and speaks a bit dutch. Her nickname has a young girl was "kindje"

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

@@ericsicard910 I think I know enough to know that if it ends in dje, it's small...so that makes sense! LOL It's funny you sent this because as I was reading it, I was eating some Dutch licorice (drop). Can't get enough of that stuff. ;)

Ok, finally someone who gets it.. or shares my opinion. Without the overreacting Wooow and fake shock. I know Lara for say ... a while now. About 6 years ago she had a concert in my country, but we couldn't go (life gets shitty pretty often), and I will probably regret that forever. I am honestly jealous so much of the people who were lucky enough to see and listen to her live. I love how the internet sort of discovered her again and these reaction videos are blowing up in the last two years. Other musicians discovering her is such fun to observe - that initial look of recognition, of the realization of what kind of force of nature is in front of them... They know. They understand the technics and the mechanics behind the singing and this makes their admiration even more valuable. And then there are the people who just cry. Thaaat... I understand a bit too well. They aren't kidding when they say Lara is in a league of her own. They just know her. I have no idea what sort of alignment of stars and planets it took for her to become what she is, or what kind of upbringing, discipline, and training, but I am just thankful. You should hear her speak. Or watch some tv appearances with her. She is not just an insanely talented singer, she is a complete artist, a combination of calm, graceful intelligence, humility, and rich emotionality, packed into one person. And she makes it all look natural and effortless. No wonder her fans love her so much. A lot of people can sing. Some have great voices, many can control them and play with them, and some brag about their abilities, which can get annoying. A lot less actually express emotions when they sing. Very few can tell a story through a song. When this woman sing, this isn't just singing. She is channeling something, living through the story, and there isn't a moment of stepping out of it or faking it. She seems like she actually believes in everything she sings and makes it her own story. This is just amazing to observe!

I had to read that twice. You said all that perfectly. So when does your reaction channel start up? Ha I'm definitely with you on people who over-react. It just comes across as fake. If I over-react about something, it's legit. I couldn't pull off fake reactions if I tried. I guess that's why I never became an actor. Ha. Anyway, I appreciate the listen and the feedback. Thanks so much.

[@esterzach]

​@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind A year later! I just came to report - I saw her last night! There was a concert announced in December, tickets were sold apparently quite fast, so a couple weeks or a month later they announced a second date. Again, sold out. I was lucky! That was a privilege and I know it.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

​@@esterzachwow! I am SO jealous! I would love to hear more about it. What do you think was her best song?

[@juliengza6825]

The song was written by Serge Lama (french singer) and is about toxic love

[@kevinsattler6603]

Yep 70. Thanks for your reaction. Love the show. Video for the real feel. Pax✌️

[@jjhmurray]

Honest, authentic reaction to an honest, authentic performance. BTW, you, sir, have an amazing speaking voice 👌

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hey Jay. LOL Thanks so much. Tell my wife that when she gets tired of listening to me all the time! This WAS an amazing song, right? I have to be honest, it is my favorite song that I've reacted to so far. It was that good! Thanks so much for the listen. I appreciate it.

[@TTkingsman]

Just great reaction Bob! I see that we share the same taste of music based on that background wall you got there...No wonder, we both are the same age class...And now you have found my absolute favourite vocalist/artist/performer of all time. It's somewhat strange because her music genre is something very different that i use to listen and play. That explains how extraordinary unbelievable artist she is. And i don't even understand French very much. Wife speaks it fluently so at least i've heard it spoken...But anyway, i think you are in the way that i was 25 years ago when i first got her voice into my ears. And there is no turning back. It's just impossible to not fall in love with her. You are going to see if you keep watching her live performances. Her live vocals and acting and living in her songs is just insane. No other living artist can do that like she does. I just can congratulate you for jumping into her world. You are in the beginning of a long long journey. And a really good one. Enjoy the ride. 😎

[@ericsicard910]

Great reaction, Bob. All your comments were completely accurate and heartfelt. Welcome to Lara’s rabbit hole! There is no escape but it is a beautiful place to be and there are many other people to accompany you on this journey. I will post a separate comment with details on this song. I recommend you to react next to Broken Vow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXuleHZ_bcaGe5Y this is an english song she wrote and that was covered by the greatests (Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban) or by the new generation : Morrissette Amon, Cakta Khan, Katrina Velarde, Regine Velasquez, Almira from 4th impact, Jackie Evancho, … But her original remains the best version as this is based on her own story and she once again tells yoy a story like nobody else. Then you will have many other gems awaiting you. Did you know she topped US Club Dance billboard for 58 weeks in a row? That she had sung operatic rock, destroying a 80,000 stadium? Has made the best live cover ever of Barbra’s Yentl songs? Or she has written some calm and melodious songs exposing incredible head voice runs and melismas ? That she sang La Traviatta amazingly? And she still sings amazingly today. Her concerts from last month were simply stunning. Once again, I really loved your reaction. PS: I recommend you to check the channel Lara The Ring Fabian! This is a fan channel that provides the best translation in english of Songs or Interviews or even concert speeches Lara made in other languages.

Only a full bodied red wine fits Lara's singing talent. Just kidding, but greetings from Europe. We missed her too. What an exceptional talent and how unfair how we were not allowed to enjoy her talent because of profit considerations. I'm an opera lover since teenage years. But Lara, like Whitney, is something exceptional.

[@Ueberschaer]

I am feeling exactly, what you feel. The deliverance is state of the art, - she's completely the protagonist of the told story. The best performance I know in the craft in being In the song. By the way, I am here on this channel for the first time - Nice album covers on your wall. As an 70's and 80's guy and composer of Progrock nowadays I like some of these artists very much. Gabba, gabba Hey😁

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

LOL. Loved the Ramones!! I remember thinking how ground breaking they were. Good to hear you're involved in music. There's nothing better. Thanks so much for the listen!

[@user-fw5be2ys1k]
