[@kikab1695]

I know it’s difficult to catch all the emotions when listening to a foreign language, but you did! To me, the part that strikes me the most is when she sings “c’est ça, je suis malade”, with a mix of laughter and sorrow, it really conveys the distress and despair, bordering to insanity, of the character.

[@stuarttusspot4769]

Also, the word "malade" can also mean "insane" in some contexts, usually when you're angry at someone who does something very dangerous, as in: "Il est malade, ce type !" = "This is guy crazy!".

[@victoriagossani8523]

I'm French and I've no doubt that when she sing "c'est ça, je suis malade", she answer back to her lover, in a memory of an argument where he was says her "tu es malade" and she was answers "for sur, I'm sick", and this "malade" in French means "insane" (like Stuart says in the other comment). You can feel a mix of anger and despair in it with a little bit of sarcasm, or like you said laugher and sorrow. This show how prodigious she is in interpretation, not to speak of her wonderful voice.

[@-Yohanna-]

Also like so much this moment. But what (for me) is the most heartbreaking moment and sounds wonderful with her voice at the same time is : "cet amour me tue" I'm getting emotional everytime listening this moment.

[@briankocheraabcdt4628]

I am 70 and have sung on and off since I was 18. Learning a language is like singing. A language has a rhythm, a pitch, a certain approach to intonation, phrasing, and tempo. True there are differences between speaking and singing a language. A singer in whatever language will "bend" the words to the feel and technique involved in singing that language. Lately, I have been listening to a lot of Dutch pop/rock music. The most popular singers will sing in English. Still there are others who sing exclusively in Dutch or alternate between the two languages. Subsequently, I am learning to speak Dutch. There are some songs such as Anouk's "Wen D'r Maar Ann" = Get Used To It, that speak to me. Being functionally fluent in French, the contrast is of night and day. Dutch has hard gutteral Gs and soft gutteral chs. Native speakers are very good at pulling back on the harsh sounds of the language when singing it. But, first I must crawl before I can fly. For an American English speaker, the temptation is to approach the hard G like clearing your throat. But upon doing that you wind up speaking Dutch like an Arabic person might approach the G. The technique is easy once you wrap your American head around the concept. To approach sounding like a Dutch speaking person, start to say the letter H, as an English speaker would say it. But, then you quickly slide the back of your tongue toward the back of your throat...without choking or swallowing your tongue. For English speakers, especially we Americans this is very challenging but not impossible. Adding to the challenge are the Dutch / English cognate words. They are spelled the same and mean the same as their English cousins. Dutch people say them according to Dutch conventions of pronunciation. It takes some focus at first, not to say the words as you would while speaking English.

There is little talk of WHY the music affects any of us - and its different elements for everyone - but at any moment, so many things are available for the artist to use - people talk about Lara Fabian or Dimash using everything. They are remarkable, but the truth is that all of those things are available but few singers are either aware, or choose to focus on something else. Integration of all those available things...rhythm , stage movement/energy, timbre, note length, register choices (yes, choice - you reviewers who just say ITS IMPOSSIBLE!)...use it all.

@Fedor Ivanov Just an aside; when Jackie Evancho was 10 years old, her producer David Foster was searching for songs for Jackie to sing at her first Public Broadcast Special. He contacted Lara about her song 'Broken Vow' and asked her if she would rewrite it for Jackie because he said it was "too mature" for her. Lara wrote it in French about environmental decline because that was Jackie's big thing back then(she is 20 years old now and STILL into it). Needless to say, 'Imaginer' went over big with the audience that night.

Look at the time it took her to come back from her character after she was done with singing. That's a master class in interpretation. She's not only singing, she's living the songs she's interpreting (whether hers or covers).

[@mariarrington2848]

I find this woman to outshine some of the biggest current musical voices. Her ability outshines Mariah with her running up and down the scales yet emotionless. Barbra Striesand who has an exquisite way of phrasing, Celine the woman with the incredible pitch and arrive at notes very high effortlessly. Lara is a magnificent vocalist, a one of a kind story teller as if we are hearing her pain and passion for the very first time. In my opinion she is the very best female vocalist to come by in a very long time. Thank you doe showcasing this wonderful woman.

[@kcatkcat8364]

Lara Fabian is living artistry. She lives and breathes each song, she is the song.

[@elsasvenski1566]

The original singer of this song is Serge Lama. “Je suis Malade” was composed by Serge Lama himself and his friend Alice Dona and is based on an “impossible” love. The song I am sick is inspired by a true heartache by Serge Lama, the story of a long secret relationship. In 1969, the singer met Michèle Potier in Chamonix. Love imposes itself as a certainty, but they are neither free: he married in 1968 Daisy Brun his press officer, she is married and the mother of a little boy. They love each other in secret for several years and promise to recover their freedoms, but Michele hesitates and finally flees and settles in Morocco for professional reasons. Lama is desperate, he wants to put his pain into words without succeeding, until the day he confides in his friend Alice Dona: "this story hurts me, it makes me sick". Back home, at the piano, Alice Dona composes a melody in a few hours, which very quickly, she plays the singer. It's a revelation and Serge Lama writes almost all of the text in 20 minutes. But his record company does not approve of this song, they thought people weren't going to like it so Serge Lama threatened to leave the record company and finally they agreed to release it in 1973. And it's THIS music who made it known. Then Dalida took over this song in 1978.

Completely different genre, style, delivery in their music: Dolly Parton uses her songs many times in her singing speech voice. I never thought of her drawing the audience into the story. Here is a fun fact about her Thanksgiving Halftime show: The Stage was suppose to lower her down, the stage refused. So, as she began descending on her own, the back broke off 1 of her high heels. Dolly holds onto the stage long enough for her too gain her balance descending a little further. The joy of live shows, and keep on going when things don’t go as planned. *Several men in the studio said, “It’s time Dolly acted her age”. When has anyone said that about a man? *I have only recently discovered Lara Fabian & I’ve fallen in love with her. Stunning in every way. How did the U.S. miss out until recently.

I would have to say that this is one of the most amazing performances I have ever seen. Such vocal talent. Such an arrangement. Your reaction is beyond spot on. Lara Fabian should have been and should be held as one of the best singers in history. It is no wonder that Dimash and Josh Groban want to emulate her. I don't even understand French although I have seen the subtitles with translation, but I didn't even need to see them to understand the complete desperation and passion and pain given in this performance. It is universal and yet I do not think that there are many other artists that could have done this to express the pure emotion. You can see it at the end of this video and the original video where you see her trying to recover from such an impactful and immersive performance - drawing from something that some of us can draw from but hopefully most cannot. Watch the ending to see how much that cost her. I do not think at all that it was faked. She performed this song at the risk of her health and personal safety and had to take a minute to dissociate herself from this. I do not think that was an act at all. That is not a bad thing I am saying, only to understand that she is portraying something that many could never understand. Pain, rejection, hope, denial, fear, love, expectation, (so many other emotions), all at once, summed up by her 17 second held ending vocal letting us all know these feelings all at once. Masterpiece is such a simple term to this as this will go above so many heads. Love you all.

yes that´s correct she lives everyting she sings .. she believes in all the lyrics , that the reason it resonates so much with us listeners ,not to mention her beautiful voice and tone ! it´s like story telling ! I cry too everytime i watch it and i thought it will be more impactful for french people like me but i can see that music is so universal and you don´t need to understand all the words to feel the emotion ... music is indeed universal !

[@leonardomane7557]

Watching this reaction again, maybe for the 6th time. So sorry you never wanted to react to her singer again. Thank you again for this amazing reaction.

[@comsatteur6893]

legendary performance, and this song, it hurts so much

[@jessicasopranonotes]

It's just so good!

[@kcatkcat8364]

It has killed me repeatedly. Thus I know reincarnation to be true.

[@Pagaie101]

Finally someone who felt the soul emerging from this song throughout Lara's emotional guts... Enfin quelqu'un qui a senti l'âme émergeant de cette chanson au travers des trippes de Lara...

[@roxannekabotsky2997]

How have I never heard of Lara Fabian before??!! Bravo!! So beautiful.

[@robertosavard6750]

Elle sait chanter cette belle dame❤❤. Serieusement je suis du Quebec et on l entendait a la radio dans d autre chanson et nous devons etre fiere de nos artistes Canadienne-belge pour sa part.

[@celinechabot8163]

This woman’s talent is so underrated...Lara is such a great talent! Great review 🙂

[@bettychan9072]

Oh my god what an amazing voice 😭😭😭 Lara is an angel

[@lorine6376]

I'm French and I can say that you have a beautiful accent👌🏻 Thank you for this good analysis😘

[@jessicasopranonotes]

💛 Thank you!

[@rudyvargas9518]

She lives her songs. She is her songs..pure emotion her performance tears at your heart in a desperate need to express itself ..

[@tahliaradikal3029]

Very very moving and heart felt brilliant performance by one of the most exceptional artist ever! Pitch perfect, flawless. Bravo Lara Fabian.

[@marinavor]

I just balled listening to this and reading the words…. I can relate with too much in this

[@hi1hi2hi]

I have watch this Lara Fabian video probably more then 1000 times in last 2 years and have seen many reactions videos of this performance. Still to this day every time I see it, I’m still in amazement of Lara’s beauty, her grace, her emotions, and THAT VOICE! This is the best reaction video to Lara Fabian I’ve seen. Keep up the good videos.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Thank you James!

[@radouaneb2501]

You are a perfect emotional mirror 🌺🌺

[@ginoferrante77]

My soul was shaking all along....

[@zakkxx1]

Finally a real real analysis. French really allows you to whisper and play with words. Watching how the person translated it to English is quite ok but you lose a little bit of the gravity of the lyrics but Lara does the job and she really poured it out… she made a fantastic job, I’m proud of her for that.. a real performer.. Tony award material.

[@keenaza]

Your french pronunciation is top notch and your reaction is so so great 🌺

[@hamstekat2750]

Fantastic ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@elenilou1851]

This is the reason songs exist. Oh my God!!!!!! Your comments helped me understand and appreciate certain things about Lara's greatness even more. Thank you

[@AmberMusicDE]

As captivating Lara is, your Reaction Video to her was just the same level of captivating, You're a very sympathetic Person. Thanks for the Reaction and greetings from Germany.

[@robertabbot3221]

Your ability to convey your mastery of art and technique while responding with exquisite sensitivity and immediacy is unusual among KZbin reactors. It heightened my pleasure in and appreciation for the performance. Thank you!

[@jessicasopranonotes]

You're welcome Robert! Thank you for your nice comment!

[@davidstievenard6313]

My prefered moment -> "I thought I had talent........before our skin"...just amazing performance

[@raduadi]

Just 3 simple words... LARA IS FABULOUS

[@shadmtmtn1603]

The very first thing making this song magical, without any analyse, is, we feel what she says. I am the wounded lover when i hear her, i am her when i feel betrayed !!

[@mubarakalnahdi7789]

Dimash is one of her biggest fan. They finally sang together in a song called Ti Amo cosi

[@Richard.Linder]

That perfomance is definitrly worth checking out. All three singers are incredible!

[@boredinlaxlax377]

Wow. I will be binge watching a few more of your video comments

[@annemurtomaki2106]

This is still too much after these years. Pain and power in perfection. 🙏🙏🔥🔥🌹🌹

[@paulinekleber2041]

Thank you for this video I cryed with your words and Lara Fabians beautiful voice ❤️

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Glad you enjoyed it, Pauline!

[@andreu6502]

çà, c'est de l'interprètation !!!! que peu peuvent réaliser,c'est un chef d'oeuvre comme lui a dit Serge Lama interpète original de cette chanson,un grand salut à toi, André. La perfection n'est pas de ce monde mais Lara s'en rapproche plus que tous.

[@arnolt2590]

Désolé, mais celle de Dalida est beaucoup plus mélancolique. En tout cas, elle me donne plus de frissons

[@andreu6502]

@@arnolt2590 salut Arno, la version de Dalida est plus dans le genre Serge lama version féminine, plus pour les francophones, Lara la rendue plus "musicale" dans le sens international, Serge et Dalida, on sûrement ressenti les paroles dans leurs chairs, l'interprétation n'est pas la même mais quand-même Lara la transformée en chef d'œuvre musical( dit par Serge lama lui même, bonne soirée à toi, André

[@robb.3597]

I applaud you too, for it even intensified that magnificent emotional performance by Lara Fabian. Hope to attend one of her concerts soon. Thank you!

[@amourtoujours779]

I cant wait for this one. Lara Fabian is amazing!
