Lara Fabian - “Slaying w/No Rehearsal” (First Time Reaction)

[@hornerinf]

No dude you're not the only one. I am a 70 year old musician, and I cry all the time when she sings. She is so otherworldly. There's just nobody like her.

[@samhartford8677]

Indeed. She's like the Withney Houston who could have been had she been able to sing what Whitney was capable of and not what sold. I am kind of glad that did not succeed/surrender to the US music scene. All I wish is that somebody would put her performances on KZbin and sell them. I would just buy them just because she deserves it.

[@hornerinf]

@@samhartford8677 Many people try to compare Lara to other famous singers. Yes, they were amazing talents, like Whitney, Celine, Mariah, etc., but Lara is way more unique than all the "commercial" artists who we all know because they were promoted by a lot of money and controlling entities. Lara didn't play their game. She worked on fulfilling her own artistic desires and consistently delivered true artistic masterpieces. She never puts down any of the other famous singers and even idolized Barbra Streisand, who in my humble opinion can't come close to doing what Lara can, both artistically or vocally (see Yentl medley). Barbra herself admitted that Lara was probably the only singer who could cover that music well. It's extremely difficult. Lara is not like any other. She is in a realm by herself. Her personality is also very unique and she is such a beautiful person both inside and out. Not many artists of any type can be considered her peer. You can tell what a "fan-boy" I am LOL, but I have worked with some of the most famous musical artists in the world and nobody moves me like Lara Fabian. She is a 100% class act.

@@samhartford8677 I can 😁

[@TTkingsman]

I'm 56 years old ex musician, and totally with you on this. There simply is no one else in her level. In this world.

[@peterpelletier176]

You are not the only one that gets moved sir. Everytime I hear her sing, no matter what song, no matter the venue or situation, I almost can't control the emotion that eminates from within. She does it to me like no other singer. There are some newcomers on the scene that are exeptional, but as far as I'm concerned she presses buttons that no one else can touch. I'm sure others have different opinions but I am talking about what she does to me. Love your reactions to Lara.

And look Evergreen of Barbra Streisand interpreting by Lsra Fabián wow wowww❤️❤️ kisses 😘

[@FB711_]

No, you're definitely not the only one. Every time I watch her perform certain songs I cry. I could watch the same performance 10 times back to back and break down just the same each time. The way she conveys the story and emotions within the lyrics, the picture she paints not only with her voice but with her whole body and presence is always breathtaking and moving.

[@4921java]

This was a really good one! I have been fortunate to have met and have conversation with Lara Fabian. She is every bit as wonderful as she appears her. She is one of the most genuine, present and sincere people I've ever met. At her concert at Carnegie Hall, it was as if... she was hosting a house party and was making sure every was having a good time and asking if they needed anything. She is my musical muse from far beyond this side of the moon "but, I digress..."

[@TTkingsman]

Wow! I've seen her live once, in Helsinki. And already that was awesome. But to meet and have a chat with her...I'd be walking on the clouds the rest of my life. I'm so jealous...😎

The duo with the other female singer on the Dicaire Show, is the incredible singer and female impressionist Veronic Dicaire, who unbelievably can imitate all the best female singers and not just the easy parts of songs, but she is able to hit all the high belts just as good as the original singers.

[@dionisius53569]

Yeah, Madam Dicare is incredibly talented and funny) in the clip where they have 2 teams with 4 people each and guessing songs, she made impression to Lara, in front of Lara😂😂😂 that was very funny

[@sinceritysf]

I saw her Vegas show twice, and she is fantastically talented!!

You’re not the only one. I got move by Lara all the time and recently I got move by you. I really love your reactions. Thank you.

[@jean-marcvien3988]

The without make-up part was during covid if I remember well. So it's basicaly Lara today. More full of light than ever.

[@Platycqb]

5:00 It was a challenge. Sing Je T’aime with only the vowels if I remember correctly. As for the first song from the same show, she had to sing Allumer le feu (which is a very energetic and powerful song from Johnny Halliday) but as a lullaby. 3:10 Peak Lara, mid/late 90s I’d say. Her appearance was a gift already. And she was definitely “acting” a lot while singing back then. 😊

[@carsonix78]

You are not the only one buddy :) "Perdere L'amore" hits me everytime I hear it. I can listen to it for 1 hour and for 1 hour I cry. Just because. Lara is amazing any way, by singing, acting. Masterclass! "You are not from here" is another similar song when I listen to and can not hold my tears.

[@Danydanielballet]

Lara Fabián Best voice world

[@TTkingsman]

Brandon Brandon Brandon! You did it! A little while ago i commented in other video that someone should make a reaction video of Lara's "funny moments". Well this is not exactly that one but another same kind of video of Lara's moments. (Thanks to Gaby for hunting those videos!). So it's almost like a wish come true.😆 And you are the best person in today's reaction videos by far. Always great to hear your pro analyzes and comments of artists such Lara. And to find out someone else loves just the same things and moments in those performances. Especially Lara's. So huge thank you for this reaction! I certainly will continue to follow your reactions.😁👌🏻 Lara really shines in every possible moment in front of the camera, and she doesn't need much of "sound check" to master those vocals. I think if you wake her up in the middle of the night, she would sing the chorus of Je t'aime in three seconds...perfectly😉

[@ildefonsobenitez6624]

Hi Brandon, thanks for reacting to Gaby's video. All I have to say is that Lara is the STAR!! Little anecdote, in the 20th minute, the white-haired man sitting next to Lara when she sings "Je suis malade" Laurent Boyer is the companion of Alice Dona who composed the music for this song.

[@Calendyr]

I am completelly the opposite of you in terms of personality. I am a sigma type and am really not emotional yet Lara sends chills down my spine and up my body when she sings. I can only imagine how it must feel to someone who is really connected with their emotions like you are, it must be overwhelming.

[@mikigoti4042]

[@mireillesavage4586]

Nope you're not the only one. She makes me cry often. She's amazing and soooo talented.

Hi Brandon. You are finally back here on KZbin. Really missed your reactions her on the Tube.

Salut Brandon , pourrais-tu réagir sur "la traviata" interprétée par Lara , une autre facette de son talent, un salut cordial de sud de la France,andré

[@LouismarieBelanger]

We know her since her beginning so just join the club of those who are touched down deep by her own soul.

[@andreledauphin]

Yes it's a mix of every thing of her .during her cariere .She is born in Belgium (french ) But her mother she is Italian so (Italian )

[@EmanuelRecemConvertido]

I'd like to start introducing you to Lara from the 80's and 90's, when she still had dark hair and used to only dressing in black, brown and dark color clothes. She later (1999) said that the reason was to "erase" herself and be recognized by her voice and not by her clothes or how she was physically, just the singer/composer SIA uses to do currently, she started to wear lighter clothes and dying her hair blonde color from 1997 on. I'd like you to react to this video of her performing live at the EuroVisision SONG contest 1988, she was 18 years old and represented the country Luxembourg. At the beginning of the video they introduce her to the public and show her with close friends in Canada. Note: This was her first international performance, but she had already won other regional competitions in Belgium and recorded a vinyl in 1985, she started to do performances live on TV shows in 1986, at age 16. There's also on KZbin the video of her rehearsal, the day before this performance, she got very disappointed and upset with the organizers of the Eurovision Song Contest, because they had promised to her a full orchestra, and they also cut the melody off almoat 1 minute to fit it in the contest, shortening the song personality. She even thought about not performing, but was convinced not to abandon the event. Lara had already a strong personality, then she decided to direct herself at this performance, she was the only singer who didn't have a director telling her what to do on stage and where to look at. All the others contester were older than her. PS: She also recorded this song in English (Trust) and Detch (Glaub). There's audios here on youtube of these. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5icZaGfqLZmqqs The video/audios of her singing this song in 3 different languages I've mentioned above. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpyVpoSCr757nrs

Very important for you to know that lara Will be doing 3 shows here in Québec in june. Be sure to Book it

[@samhartford8677]

Thanks! This was amazing! And no you are not the only one having that teary reaction! I had exactly the same reaction, even if I've heard the song so many time before. However, what you said about Lara not being able to pronounce 'blind', first make me want to say that it's more about the artistic/voice technique choice (given it's a really easy word to pronounce), but once I come to think about it. I think her French upbringing does come through at some points. The placement is sometimes a bit off. -- Just as a background I'm a Finnish speaker, have English that is hardly distinguishable from somebody speaking English as their mother tongue and also speak fluent Italian, both professionally. But I was never able to master French or Russian. They come from such a differ place...

[@susanwenner8738]

It’s no a fair heading as she rehearses daily and knows these songs by heart….so she’s always ready.

[@laratheringfabian]

Not really how it works. It’s truly not easy to sing first thing in the morning without any soundcheck done beforehand and sitting, which she did in several of these clips

[@Xavier-Denis]

When you stopped the video at 3:39, it was one of her songs. I don't know who wrote without rehearsal because most of it is wrong. Her father is Belgian and her mother is Italian. Before finding success as a singer, she came to live in Quebec for several years and she has her Canadian citizenship in Quebec. We speak French but someone can speak English all their life without speaking French. There was a Talk Show host who had heard her singing covers before and she invited her to sing a few times and the Talk Show musicians even wrote her songs. When The Talk Show ended, Lara Fabian started writing her own songs and that's where she found success. She returned to Europe around a year after and it worked very well for her and she lived there for several years and for the past few years she has been traveling between France and Quebec. The Talk Show musicians, most of them became Celine Dion's musicians.

[@laratheringfabian]

The song sung at 3:39 was done WITHOUT REHEARSAL. It was during an interview, and the host took calls from fans who each asked her to sing a song impromptu…which means she did not rehearse beforehand……..hence the title……..😐 Same goes for all the other clips. They were all clips of her singing UNPLANNED.

You may want to see and hear Charles Aznavour. He enchanted the world. More importantly, he changed French music forever, and he broke many, many conventions around homosexuality and social norms. His death was mourned by the world; his legacy is immense!

[@ericzeichert511]

The nearly last song here (dicaire) seemed to be Lara at her poppiest, which is why some folks label her incorrectly as s pop singer. She is a performance artiste, who can sing pop if the situation calls for it, or she can rip our hearts out of our ear holes. Whatever.

As for the word “blind”, I think she did it purposely. She did the same for “fly” in You’re not from here. She held on the f sound to have this languorous, lingering effect, something like fe-ly. It’s one of the most beautiful part of the song and Gosh this song has so many little a treasures.
