Lara Fabian "Je Suis Malade" Vocal Coach Reacts

[@annemarel]

It wasn't finished yet. If you'd waited a while longer before ending the video, you could have noticed how completely emotionally invested she was and how long it took her to come back out of it.

[@mjcole12]

Yes! It always bothers me when people react to this song and cuts it off when Lara stops singing! I can't help it lol! I find myself yelling at the screen...."It's not over dammit!"

@@mjcole12 I think they have to cut all the time to avoid copyright issues. Besides that, if she just listens, what would be the purpose of the video? If a person just want to listen, there is the original video on KZbin, which you know, because you're a huge fan!

[@markkeller1477]

Even if Lara had dropped to her knees sobbing from the emotionality of her peformance Vanessa would have-no doubt-been commenting on the technical aspects of how her knees sounded hitting the floor.

[@aryansigrid]

Come on, this is a "Vocal Coach", her job is to hear what is being sung & how healthy it sounds. [I'm aware of the emotionally stunning ending where Lara is still in character for quite a wee while after the song is finished, this is something special but a Vocal Coach wouldn't see a need to watch it. [This women didn't even bother to press just the one button that would have helped her to understand not only the lyric's but the songs message too. You can only help people so much.]

[@gregoryjamessnayer7271]

A lovely reaction. I like it. Note how she was already into the song before she started singing. At the end also it took her a while longer recovering, as a sign how deeply involved she was. She tells the story with so much expression and emotion. I totally agree that she has amazing vocal control, each word sounded so clearly.

[@gogyoo]

In spoken French, you wouldn't the final "e" in "malade", but in a song it can be advantageous to do so. The main difference to remember between English and French poetry is that they are stress/rhythm vs. syllabic based, respectively. And that final "e" can buy you an extra syllable. That's up to the author of the song or poem to decide what they'd rather have.

[@youcansing2vanessae.vocalcoach]

Thanks so much for your comment! That's good to know as I looked up the pronunciation in French and it didn't add the "e" syllable but I heard her sing the "e" syllable and I was confused.

[@ruego-qj7bt]

@@youcansing2vanessae.vocalcoach "French" is an 'affected' language. That is, the ''finished product'', if you will( _I know._ A living, breathing language remains a work in progress) coming about as result of efforts which were initially aimed at rescuing it from a nascent state of disarray but eventually led governing forces in place early on to seek and implement measures to minimize arbitrariness in its further development. *The language's poetic nature,* , therefore, is not accidental. It represents a conscious and deliberate fashioning on the part of its visionary creators/overseers; speakers of the tongue reduced, by and large , to little more than unwitting participants in the grand _ongoing_ experiment.

[@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, 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 8,000 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 4 languages fluently (french, italian, english, spanish), can speak a bit of sicilian, russian and dutch, and has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for most her songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer. • 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, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both french and italian 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 started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She now lives in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship She became very famous there 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 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 and the song you just reviewed is from this concert. 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 thru her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. 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. Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban, … 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 (that she performed originally ; she also wrote some of these). Out of my mind I can list: ○ Adagio, ○ Mademoiselle Hyde, ○ Know/Vocalise/Ascolta La voce ○ Love of tired swans She also wrote the lyrics of his song « Your Love ». And she covered « Love is like a dream » before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva). They also performed Ti Amo Cosi together with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitriy Hvorostovsky and Alina Yaroyava then again later with Dmitriy and Sumi Jo, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida. Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: I was told Lara did connect Igor to Dimash after his Adagio cover ; Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it. Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs: ○ 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), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ 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), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ .... Today, she 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 started the europe tour late september and I attended a concert a few days later. She was again spectacular. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.

[@ericsicard910]

“Je suis Malade” 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 compose 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. They became good friends. Lara has made some subtle changes to the song that gave it even more power and Serge Lama adopted these in his later interpretations. The 1999 version ("From Lara with Love" Concert in Montreal) 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.

[@jessyblake457]

I could be wrong, but I think this song of Serge Lama is an homage to his fiancee, Liliane Benelli, which he lost in a car accident in 1965. This tragedy has haunted him ever since.

[@ericsicard910]

@@jessyblake457 no this is not the case here. He explained the genesis of this song in an interview with Andre Maniukian for the french tv show La vie secrete des chansons. This is about his secret love story with Michele Potier, while they were both married, and she just had broken up with him and mobed to Morocco when he wrote this. But the story finally ended better: they both divorced from their respective partners and got married together a few years later. Serge and Michele had a son and were together until her death in 2016.

Exactly, without being able to understand the words of the song, you are missing half of her performance.

I agree with this teacher. I believe most people are born with a very good instrument. But that’s not the point. If you don’t nurture and develop it the way that Dimash and Lara Fabian have, it’s not gonna go anywhere. You cannot be that good without working on it. So any fans that are trying to say it’s because they were born better or whatever nonsense, is kidding themselves and putting false thoughts into other peoples heads which are not helpful. you may have given up and not bothered, but don’t discourage others please. Let people find out how far they can go with hard work. Maybe not everyone can reach that level, or be that great no matter how hard they work, but you’ll never know until you do it.

[@ericsicard910]

Thanks Romer for introducing Vanessa to the queen Lara. Lara is known to be on the same vocalist tier as Whitney, Mariah and Celine. She is for instance famous for her resonance, she is nicknamed The Ring or the Queen of Resonance for this reason. It comes from her classical training. But she is also famous for her acting skills, her emotions conveying skills where she has no equivalence. This perf is a perfect demonstration of this and Vanessa should replay it with the subtitles to understand the beauty of her acting and how deep the lyrics are. Some other songs demonstrate her incredible vocal skills even better. Vanessa, you mentioned Celine : her staff was the reason Lara was prevented to be successful in the US. They pressured Sony to stop promoting her and she had to refocus on Europe where she became a legend. While many mention Celine when they hear Lara, I personally feel there are big differences between both: I largely prefer the tone of Lara, especially in her upper register. Also the way they convey emotions is very different: Celine projects out and with her you are part of a big show. Lara brings you in and connect you to the song story in a very intimate and deep way. Again I prefer her approach. I will post details on this amazing song and on Lara in separate comments

Why is it that when one becomes a "vocal coach" they seem to lose all connection to the emotionality and passionate sensitivity of a song/vocalist!

With Lara it isn't only the vocals. She is a complete performance in every aspect. I'm enjoying your commentary but you are stopping in some places where you need to keep it running to get the impact. Subtitles will help a lot. The lyrics are very important in this song, especially because you can get a whole different perspective when you realize what she is saying. It didn't seem like you started with the piano intro or let it play until she was "really" finished with the song. Maybe it was just your editing for the video. Also, many people mention Celine Dion when they first hear Lara. To me, it's ONLY because Celine is a strong singer with a lot of range, but that's about where the comparison ends. Lara is on a level of her own, far and above all other performers. I think if you go through more of her concerts you will see and hear that a lot more.

I love how you pointed out so much! Your thoughts on this song stack on top of everything you've been teaching and sharing with us for soooo long! I don't understand French either but I was teary-eyed just watching her emotions. She really makes you feel what she's feeling. Thanks for doing these videos, Vanessa! Keep up the great work of sharing tips and tricks! We all appreciate it!

[@youcansing2vanessae.vocalcoach]

Hi Janine, thanks so much for watching and your comments! Yes, she sang this beautifully and with such emotion, it transcended the language barrier and moved me also!

[@aryansigrid]

Watch the song again but choose the version with subtitles then you'll understand why everyone is saying get the lyric's!! If you knew what Lara was saying you'd be much more emotionally touched, I'm only telling you because you're missing out otherwise, it's like listening with the volume down -it doesn't quite work!

[@aryc1848]

Nice reaction, but you stopped the video too early, because we saw in the end, how lara is shaking and and still in the song for more seconds.

[@alicecolleenflynn]

Vanessa, watch it again and all the way TO THE END. You stopped before experiencing all of her emotion in the performance after her singing. It is annoying to me, as I know it is to other Lara fans, that people cut off the video before the actual end.

Thanks for your comment! :)

Hi I don't know if you take song request but I would love to hear what you think about the group BTS ^^ they have a great live performance with Tiny Desk :) in that video there is 3 songs, Dynamite, Save me and Spring day. I would recommend spring day starting at 8min 20 in the video. just so you know they have 4 vocalists and 3 rappers ^^ anyway ! have a great day 💜

[@weekek]

They also did a really great cover of the song Fix you from coldplay. the harmonies just melts my heart every time ^^

I think this was a great reaction I love Lara Fabian I am sure all the others will give you alot more songs of hers to do so I wont add to them. I like the way you really listen to the voice and what it is doing. I want to suggest to you if you want to be blown away by a voice try Diana Ankudinova I know you have already done Dimash but Diana is someone I think will challenge you to figure out her voice the song I would tell you to start with is her cover of Elvis" Cant Help Falling In Love from a russian show called showmasgoon from this past year I think you will love it.

[@youcansing2vanessae.vocalcoach]

Hi Willey, thanks so much for your comment and suggestion. I will add her to my list! :)

[@bernardachour614]

Drop the mannerisms, the clichés, the generalities and the repetitions (you say at least 32 times the same thing) , listen to the video until the end (the way you cut it is kind of insulting), use subtitles to understand what you're talking about (you obviously don't have a clue, which is a shame for a performance based on powerful lyrics)... Then I may come back to your channel.

[@jeanphilipperondeau1070]

You reay feld it.

[@victorbradshaw7359]

Please never use Celine and Lara in the same category you definitely don't understand what transpired between those two women yes both are great singers but Lara is so much more about the emotions. You did a great reaction great job if I can find out how to donation to request I can actually get you some great singers great job if you want an interview with Lara np as well as many other artist you are currently or will be doing np yell I am retired from UMG after 42yrs sorry it was our company that caused the afford mentioned problem not the right place to explain it great job

[@youcansing2vanessae.vocalcoach]

Thanks for your comment.

[@igaluitchannel6644]

It's malad, but she emphasizes the E for musical effect.

[@youcansing2vanessae.vocalcoach]

👍🏻

[@brynneholt1990]

You pronounced it correctly. Malade is two syllables, although in French, they often vocalize the E in song. They will also do it in speech, often when being dramatic or whiny. 😆

[@denisekaydelasalas8894]

Great reaction! Can you react to another great singer name Marcelito pomoy? His version of the prayer on the wish bus is superb. Thank you!

[@youcansing2vanessae.vocalcoach]

Hi Denise, thanks so much for your comment and suggestion! :)

[@denisekaydelasalas8894]

Can't wait to see your video ❤️❤️❤️

[@ericzeichert511]

Comparing her to Celine Dion is a little bit icky. Much has been written on the internet (somw of which may be true, who knows) about the extraordinary steps Renae and the rest of Celine's crew took to make sure Lara was unable to access the North American market.

[@youcansing2vanessae.vocalcoach]

Thanks for your comment. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to say someone reminds you of someone else, as we connect things to what’s familiar. She has a beautiful voice and in my opinion there are some qualities to her voice that are similar to another very talented singer, Celine yet both are wonderful singers. I don’t think they would have tried so hard to separate her from Celine if they didn’t think there were some similarities as well. Just my thoughts. I appreciate your feedback.😊🎤

[@vitorsoares9289]

Hi, it started badly I must tell you... if you can't pronounce the title of the song naturally it's because you don't understand French and then it would help to go to the settings to do the translation, because the true essence of this song is in the first place in the lyrics then the artist's voice and performance...does she understand the history of the song by its lyrics ????

[@znk0r]

How to be a dick 101. Give yourself a pat on the back.

[@youcansing2vanessae.vocalcoach]

Thanks for your comment!

[@bernardachour614]

Agree, Victor. This reaction sucks from start to finish.

[@ivanveljkovic6242]

She is good singer,one of the best,but she have nothing with lirix soprano,she is not even classical educated singer,Dimash is opera singer,Lara is his idol,but Dimash voice is much better then Lara,they can't compare,Dimash is master,Lara is pop singer,so you can not compare them,Dimash is the best
