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, Aretha, Shirley Bassey, 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 10,000+ 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 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for 200+ songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music, and is at the source of the melodic line. • 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 and grand mother on father side is dutch, but she also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( the father of her mother is from Detroit). She had been raised in Sicilia first for 7 years then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french 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 only moved away from opera to pop because she is first and foremost a songwriter. After her Eurovision participation in 1988 (4th), she really started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She had been living for years in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship. She moved to Sicilia end of 2022. She became very famous in Quebec in the early 90s with several double platine records 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 was 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, packed with masterpieces (covered by many great vocalists later on). 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 through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance. 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 and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then. Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), Linda Eder, … 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, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara. Out of my mind I can list: ○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version) ○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know") • She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love". • And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva). • Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida. Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara. Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it. Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration (singers from every region in the world: from China and Taiwan, to Philippines, Indonesia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Netherlands, Greece, Israel, Lebanon, Italy, France, Belgium, Norway, UK, USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Central Africa, …) ○ 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), ○ Charice Penpengco (Adagio), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Dmitri Hvorostovsky (Adagio), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Gigi de Lana (Broken Vow) ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know), ○ Il Divo (Adagio) ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ 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), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Pauline Aguirre (Adagio)), ○ George Peris (Broken Vow, Humana), ○ Vitas (Adagio), ○ Wanessa Camargo (Love by Grace), ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Jeck (Je T’Aime), ○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio), ○ Anne Sila (pas sans toi, Tu es mon autre), ○ The Canadian Tenors (Adagio), ○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio), ○ Sarah Naura Irbah (Mademoiselle Hyde), ○ Elisabetta Rinaldi (Adagio), ○ Alyona Yarushina (Adagio), ○ Marie Payet (Pas sans toi), ○ Laurh (Immortelle), ○ Inger Lise Hope (Adagio), ○ Håkon Sønsterud Tollefsrød (Broken Vow), ○ Flora Tandi (Bambina), ○ Cindy Chao (Yeliel My Angel), ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Abraham Mateo (Adagio), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Russel Watson (Adagio), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ Annointed (Love by Grace), ○ Sevara Nazarkhan (Je t’aime) ○ .... NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version. Today, Lara 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 completed the europe part in September/October 2022 and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular. On April, May, June 2023 she had again some wonderful concerts in Tbilissi, Georgia, then in Ouzbekhistan, Kazakhstan, Romania. She is about to release a new album and just completed another popular tour in eastern europe (Czech Republic, Moldavia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkiye, Hungary) and in Canada in april-june 2024. She also appeared as a guest in some big events such as Hauser’s concert in Royal Albert Hall (May 9th 2024). Then, after some rest and a few TV Shows, she will tour France in 2025. The first song of her new album (titled "Ta Peine" - Your Sorrow) was released late January 2024 and is a success in France. The second “Je t’ai cherché”(I looked for you) was released early october 2024, another success! Her album is expected to be released in on Nov 29. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.

Not at all! Im glad you share the same enthusiasm as me when it comes to music. Imagine my level of hype that you have for Lara Fabian, but for almost 10 or more artists across 5 to 7 languages, haha. It really proves this channel was not created in vain but as a gathering place of individuals with endless passion for music and languages. Every comment like this is a reminder of that, so thank you ♥️

[@ericsicard910]

For the context: this concert was produced at a moment there were alot of bashing against Lara from french media. 5 years before she was at her peak in France, she was offered an opportunity to enter the US music scene, initially a success then it was sabotaged by politics from the husband and producer of Celine. She left the US but when she came back to France the media were very mean to her, saying she was too intense, only screaming, … So she proved them wrong with this concert, keeping her intensity but channeling it thru delicate deliveries. She exposed total control, and an insane artistry that is revealed even in the transition speech between the songs.

[@PolyglotReacts]

And here i was thinking she was just a no-name artist, haha. Thanks for the explanation ♥️

[@ericsicard910]

In terms of popularity, she is a star in many regions ww, massive in Russia and eastern europe, and omnipresent in France in the recent few years. She just won The Voice Kids France as a coach. Her new album will be released late november. The first 2 singles were released and are already great successes in France.

[@PolyglotReacts]

Oh yea? She's got a new album coming? Can't wait! Maybe the channel grows large enough to do a live reaction/ album review as it drops. That would definitely be a fun and special time :)

Thank you for your feedback on Lara Fabian But for the rest of this concert, you'll have to put up the English version that I sent you. Because the text, often written by Lara herself, is just as important for understanding the atmosphere of the moment. The sound of the songs on our side is almost inaudible.

[@PolyglotReacts]

Sure thing♥️

[@julidapesi]

Thank you for reacting to this concert. In my opinion, is her best one. Please, don't pay attention to the rude comments some unkind people left here... I enjoyed your reaction, even if the sound is not great. Your comments are perfect clear and that's what really matters in a reaction video. Keep going! I subscribed ;)

[@PolyglotReacts]

Thanks for your kind words❤️ This comment made my day :) And yes, i do enjoy the energy of this concert so far. I just uploaded part 2. Enjoy 😁

[@PolyglotReacts]

Btw, fixed the sound issue if only people had patience, haha. See you in the next reaction with crispy quality ❤️

[@lisaargyrou1488]

beautiful Lara Fabian 💓 liked subscribed 👍 the second song, a cover of Charles Aznavour, is my absolute favorite live performance from Lara in this amazing concert 😍 languages I speak, Greek, English and Spanish 🥰 looking forward to your next Lara Fabian reactions 🎉

[@PolyglotReacts]

Thanks for your comment and for sharing the languages you know! Sure, im gonna do more Lara Fabian songs as well as other languages i know. If there is any specific song you want me to do next, please let me know. And yea, Charles Aznavour is my friend's fav french singer as well :)

[@SchizoidPD]

"En Toute Intimité" is criminally underreacted to, so good on you for going ahead with this. Automatic sub

[@PolyglotReacts]

Thanks for your support, and yes, i really enjoy the ambience and her bouncy side that is new to me. It's quite a fun journey to discover more about her. My aim is, however, to gain a community of people for every language i know, even some new ones, so this is just the start. Thanks again for joining the journey ❤️

[@SchizoidPD]

Då kan jag erbjuda mig att lära dig lite svenska om du är intresserad.

[@PolyglotReacts]

I don't know any Swedish and have only watched one Swedish movie recommended to me by my friend. Thank you for the offer, though😁

You are wrong about her French. It is perfect. No accent here, maybe accent from Paris. She can use any accent she wants. She used to switch her accent depending on the audience and interviewers

[@PolyglotReacts]

Thanks for your explanation. To me, she sounds exactly like my Belgium friend. Anyways thanks for your comment ❤️

[@EmanuelRecemConvertido]

​@@PolyglotReactsYou need to read more about Lara Fabian. French ir her second Lagrange, and she learned tougher with Italian when she was just a kid at age of 2 years old. She speaks French in many accents because she is smart enough to do so. She is able to speak French using diferents accentes from Canada, Belgium and France and switch easily. ❤

[@PolyglotReacts]

Yea, she seems like an interesting, multifaceted person to know more about. Thanks for the information 😁

[@mikaelzajac6804]

why such an awful sound from this wonderful concert ?

@@mkevincop Comparing a surgery with a reaction video on youtube is one hell of an analogy

[@PolyglotReacts]

As i said in my videos, when you are getting hate, it means you are on the right path. That's consumers for you, complaining without producing, so it's fine. Im 25 doing things not even 40 years olds have the balls to do coz they have 0 self-esteem and look for approval of their value in others😁
