Lara Fabian - Why (Annie Lennox cover; w/ lyrics)

[@entretienmenagerabsolutely8416]

Right through my soul. As usual.

[@smartnfancy]

This is definitely an ORIGINAL version. Anyway, Annie's original is higly intimate and 100% personal, and I would never thought that someone could make it her own, but yes, she does. I love Annie, she made the best days of my teen age, and she is a poet, but.. wow, Lara is making this song her own. She's put a new vibe in it and the voice - damn! If she and Annie'd play on the same stage, some day, I wish they would do it on my burial day, I would go down HAPPY!!! Love you Annie, hats off Lara!

[@johnnyflipp]

God this world has so much talent..... Beautiful just beautiful... Thank you..

[@Michael-ss2ji]

Wow ... what a blissful interpretation on a song that admittedly has Ms. Annie steeped all over it. A huge fan of both singers, I wasn't expecting this. Beautiful interpretation, with a flavorful spin. Thanks for posting!

[@gerardusharjadib.2090]

I don't know how...but Laras voice penetrates always directly to the bottom of my heart.so I can feel what she feels during her singing.

[@tommeischker9644]

Amen; these negative comments are unbelievable. It is obvious they have not her sing other numbers. Well, it takes all kinds of people. Lara is in the top ten of all the singers I have ever heard and I have heard all of them over my 73 plus years. .

[@blebleble667]

Lara's version is simply beautiful ... I can listen to it over and over again ... :)

[@fernandonogareda]

mind blowing!!! and im a Heavy Metal guy.....her voice hit the fibers in my soul.

[@hedwigkiesler]

it's a very rare thing, but sometimes an artist that didn't write the song herself brings something new and even emotionally deeper to it.

[@danl159]

I love this version! I know a lot of people who like this song.

[@melvinnixon2378]

Lara exudes compassion, emotion and deliverance to all of her songs. That's why I love her voice. You feel what she's singing deep within your heart..

[@davago84]

When the music and the artist bring you both to tears you know it's a MASTERPIECE!

[@jamestan4667]

I listen to this song most mornings .. I hear the agony in your voice , yet it’s strangely calming and reassuring .. ty Lara

[@bobbifencl6256]

I can not compare Lara with any else, she is just the best.

[@revgenvalcre9279]

. This soulful song echoed its brilliance through her voice that touched deeply in consciousness which reverberates the lyrics in the spirit. The song expressed its sadness or gloomy upon the person it talked about. . In this performance, she delivered the material from suttle to climax which has an emotional hook at the last part, that she rendered in varying intensity. Though the tone of the music seemed that she's pointing to someone else, it is evident that conversation is taking place in the lyrics. She narrated the story in the song which asking why she's asking someone maybe that person won't know what she felt. The song describes that person as voluble or talking that hurting her every time that person speaks, that the same person not perceptive they are falling. It also describes the thing they have used to such as book, words, path, dreams, joy, tears, fear, dread, years they spend, and it represents. She sings on high and low notes that give meaning to the piece. This singer was so compelling, she can move the audience every time she sings. She knows how to use her resonators to express emotion, they've been amazed by her muscular, vibrant, so reflexed, and flexible voice. The way it does phrasing, the beginning and end of each statement were gently done was beautiful artistry. though looks like a piano recital, however, the emotional attachment was felt as it was in the song. Her dynamics in singing so brilliantly delivered, clarity of syllables, diction, phrasing, ability to connect one line to the other unnoticed. Her ability to give the meaning to the story in vocal singing characterized her prowess which made her distinct style that touched every heart (she got a standing ovation) through the passion it embraced. Further, she was educated as a singer which made her effortless to deliver the music and had started singing at the age of 5 years old, probably made her master the singing. Whenever she sang the piece of a song, literally this becomes her own. Her ability to live with the material, and rendered with complete passions, energy, focus, and enthusiasm was quite noticing being immersed, involved and engaged showed in other songs she performed such as in caruso, perdere l'amore, and jesuis malade, je taime, broken vow, you're not from here, adagio, to love again, come ils disent, etc. Has mastery of various conversational techniques (storytelling, grounding, teasing, baiting, cold reading, role-playing, etc.), delivery (oral such as the low and high register of voice, and nonverbal such as body movement, hand gestures, etc. ), styles that build rapport and attraction interweave with the emotion through the use of her vocal ranges which accomplish the motif of the song. see details in the "review" of her performance showed as a singer on this link: => kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHqsfWimbMSKgc0 Apolo Bagunas [e-mail]

[@RobLanderos]

I place her at the very top of all pop vocalists.

[@shootsanvers3366]

The best cover for me👍

[@CarlosMorellOficial]

I prefer this version. Lara's voice is much better than Annie's. In fact, this is the best pop voice I've ever heard.

[@666BEASTY]

Awesome! Lovely lyrics as well. I can feel the pain and frustration deep in my heart

[@nevineatike]

just why can't we ppl "keep their big mouth shut" :D and listen lots of beautiful voices different voices can't we stop comparing and just enjoy every voice with each differencies all beautiful

[@mamadukes2]

Always brings tears...

[@fachrizalyans]

Thanks for the lyrics and it's a nice song, singing by Lara Fabian.

[@frankbirch3877]

This is a beautiful song, sung absolutely beautifully in a different way to the original.

[@Quicksilverline]

Is there a song that touches deep into the darkness of the past? A light shines from your voice into the depths, a hope is reborn carried on the melody of vocal perfection

[@lucydekleine7071]

Nice but Lara where are your own songs?This is the second album with songs of other singers. You and your voice make my day - but I would love to see you on tour in Germany with an album full of new songs :-)

[@WTFuc4]

Nobody can beat Annie

[@campbellbailey9614]

why wood ewe want to beat annie what has he done;"a sex crime"?

[@nicolaasnasir2087]

Nunca. Nadie pueden.

[@tiagozarpack741]

Espetáculo essa música na voz da Lara fabian

[@smartnfancy]

I listened to the very brand genuine song of Annie-she's got a super orchestration,lots of instruments,a very good mastering sound engineer, therefore, a masterpiece. But, as she plays live, on Queen's tribute to Mercury, sh's hesitating and voice goes off the score, as she usually does when playing live. If Lara played this live, then she is mastering her voice better. But this is just technical rubbish, the main thing about music is the spirit, and they are both tremendously gifted-thanks God!

[@wiimania9]

You are right; that is the lyric. She was asking herself.

[@maniana1989]

before stating your opinion make sure it is right :) Annie Lennox sings it this way..

[@lvbjblond]

fantastic las vegas nv

[@63virgini]

"these are the words i never said" (?)

[@lucydekleine7071]

4 september ill Will play this one just for you because you.d asked me to do so promiss is A promiss . My beloved sister Ria Dijk born on this day , is past away but never forgotten . Love you , Lucy

[@Veganismmmm]

LENNOX SINGS DEEP IN COMPARISON BUT BOTH ARE WELL THEY JUST ARE

[@RobLanderos]

Comparisons to Celine are lazy and just wrong. You don't even have to have a discerning ear to hear the difference.

[@Gambler77713]

Besides Annie Lennox's original I think I may have heard one other person tackle this song and it didn't go over well. Lara does a good job but I like Annie's version better.

[@mizzzlizzz02]

@Museleaders You may want to give Kelly Clarksons cover a shot. Its the only one you may think comes close to Annie's version. Its pretty amazing.

[@bulatlarina]

Only Annie can do this song justice, Kelly clarkson's cover came next

[@nevineatike]

@achaserofrocks it's the way Annie Lennox say it those are the exact words

[@larafabiancaruso]

hay qua ^^!

[@filippredic7552]

lara's cover better than original.lara is just perfect and there's no question.She is just the best.

[@campbellbailey9614]

i quite agree annie lennox is shit

[@LastDamage]

I guess Annie was stoned when she wrote this song. It's incredibly strong!

[@UCAMTV]

Stop comparing, this is LARA FABIAN, the original version is ANNIE LENNOX. This is just a feeling from another interpreter. Can't u see that? So F simple....

[@lucydekleine7071]

Ria , this one is for you , I love you ,Lucy

[@Luis58537]

Lara's cover may not be better than original, but it is certanly amazing as well.

[@A.P....]

Awefull HOW DARE!"

[@jgfigueredo]

Nice cover and a beautiful voice, but it doesn´t have the gut feeling and poignancy that Annie Lennox brings to the song, I suspect it's because for AL this is a personal song, written with her own experiences in mind, like most her Annie Lennox' songs...all that being said, this is a good cover and Lara Fabian is a very talented singer

[@victoreuroza790]

Excellent explanation. You're completely right!!

[@frankbirch3877]

-> jfigueredo and Victor Euroza. I think it is poignant, maybe sung in a little more refined way, because that's how Lara's voice is. She most likely chose to do a cover of this particular song ( she could have chosen many others) because its particular ( and poignant) message resonated with her own, different, personal experiences . That is one reason why she interprets it so well, but differently. It's kudos to Annie Lenox that Lara wanted to sing it again.

[@onefluxaway]

@achaserofrocks Isn't that the right lyric? Annie Lennox sing it that way.

[@RobLanderos]

You're ignorance is self evident. It's not a belief, it's fact. Blackbeasthamish is entirely correct. Fabian is a brilliant song writer in her own right. Look it up.

[@mllekatrin]

@Museleaders Canadian? I dunno...

[@anirbas093x]

The lk lyrics come in too late

[@Bluebeyond08]

It's just more powerful when Annie sings it but a good effort nonetheless.

[@SeanOReillySongs]

Love me some Annie. Check out the Annie Lennox Cover on my channel if ya like. Would appreciate it.

[@190012]

If that is what you believe than go ahead but the fact that shes a copycat can´t be denied.

[@nbelyusf9538]

كل الصوره لكي لزم نكون لل الجواب الى' الله من لذي يعطي الفكر والحكام تفعلي هاذا لل كل الصور لكي بل اءنتي اءنسانه من يكون ثم يفعل ما يحول من الاءجرام لل الوطن لكم فالله فالله لا يترك المجرم بلا العقاب كما فعلا لل النوح السفينه واءزل اءشد العقاب لهم لم ترك اءحد إلا صارو الماء بل الماء هي تقتل الناس المجرمين لهم الاءجرام

[@blackbeasthamish]

Not exactly a brilliant defence of your argument, as I might have I might have expected. Your claim that she is a copycat CAN and HAS been denied as It does not stand up to scrutiny by any sane person. It is quite obviously based on some kind of deep seated but irrational prejudice. If you wish to ignore all the evidence to the contrary then that is your problem. Just don't expect others to take you seriously

[@iggnasio]

Nice country song voice but Annie Lennox is no country singer

[@blackbeasthamish]

What complete bollocks. All this video proves is that she singing a song originally performed by Annie Lennox. Annie herself recorded the songs of other artists, including "A Whiter Shade of Pale" first recorded by Procol Harum and based on a work by J S Bach Does that mean she can only copy songs by other artists? The answer is no, as she also recorded over 40 songs written by herself. Incidentally, Lara has also written a a number of her own songs and had many written specifically for her.

[@190012]

All she can do is copy other(real) singers song-text, this video proves it!

[@achaserofrocks]

I know youre supposed to put your own twist on covers but changing the line to "Keep YOUR big mouth shut" it completely overhaules the point of the song. thats just my opinion.

[@mikeduxbury]

Disappointing

[@Gollummmmmmmm]

it´s not amazing, because Annie´s voice is unique (unlike the majority of singers) and any other version is JUST NOT good as the original... the whole song by Annie is just genial, including the arrangement and orchestra... so everything else is just a poor copy

[@sldorhout1]

Love Annie's version way better...this is too much Celine Dion...it misses out on the raw and emotional original...too perfected and loses power.
