Lara Fabian - Je t'aime - Live in Paris | Reaction

[@ericsicard910]

Here is the context of this performance and the marvelous interaction with the crowd then some background information about this song. When she perforned this tour, she was really facing hard times, both on professional side and personal side. On the professional side, she just had been cornered in the US: at the moment she was about to breakthrough, her promotion was abruptly halted when Celine Dion’s staff pressured Sony execs to push Lara to a pop dance career and away from the love ballads venue. Sony was their joint record company, and this led to a total artistry dispute and Lara left the US scene. As a side note, she only registered 2 pop dance songs and the first one (I will love again) was #1 in the US dance billboard for more than one year. On the personal side, she just had suffered a love betrayal/cheating and she was facing also health issues. So she confessed later she had a lot of suicidal thoughts. Her fan base knew most of this (not the health part) and wanted to show some support. They used this song, one of her 2 biggest hits in France, and now a classic of french music. They changed the chorus from Je t’aime / I love you to On t’aime / we love you 🙏 I also love how Lara reacts to it, after a small moment of surprise, establishing a beautiful dialog with her fans. It shows who she really is: a benevolent humble caring and smart woman. Later she said this moment really uplifted her state of mind and helped her to go through these hard times. This beautiful interaction made headline news on France tv channels the day after.

Fortunately, Lara is a superior artist to Celine....not surprised she was worried.

With her career failing, her personal life in shambles and suicidal thoughts, she barely made it to this performance, and the audience said "not on our watch ~!" You can actually see someone go from despair to Hope, as the audience sings Lara's song to her but changing the lyrics from I Love You, to We Love You. In the begining as she starts to sing, some shouts it French to her, "don't sing" for the audience wanted to sing to her. I have never in my long life seen such a thing as this, it brings me to complete tears every time I watch it. Reply

@EricSicard always has great background information on the different performers. I've been listening to Lara since she had her first pop hit in the United States I Will Love Again (I'm sorry but if you do not dance to this song then you're never going to dance) and I never liked Celine Dion's music. I mean yes she had a great voice, it just wasn't for me. Lara on the other hand in my mind is one of the best female vocalists ever. I could listen to her all day. ✌❤😎
