PRO PERFORMER'S first REACTION to JOHNNY HALLYDAY & LARA FABIAN "Requiem pour un fou"

[@sebcemoua]

This performance took place in a stadium with 90,000 spectators. So yes it was necessary to do much more than on a televised service. Thank you for this reaction.

Lara's microphone sound was at maximum (it resonated..) and Johnny's was lower.. It was Johnny who asked for it to be done like that. Lara was his guest at the Stade de France and he wanted her to demonstrate her vocal power and shine. Lara herself confirmed it. Johnny in all his generosity... Know that Johnny was a vocal power too but on this last interpretation he did not want because it was done on purpose, Johnny was very intelligent in doing that to make the song more dramatic and show their acting on this magnificent song that belongs to him. The desired goal was the dramatic side of the singing all in power but less than Lara (Johnny) with at the same time next to him a more striking singing power (Lara) and the passionate play between the two. Everything was imagined by Johnny himself to end the last interpretation in style. A masterpiece, perhaps the most beautiful duet in the world.💣🎉💥

Johnny Haliday said to her, ' you are me as a broad' What a compliment!!!! I love this woman!

[@dawnstone610]

Listen to Johnny. He is a French icon. Everyone loves him in my country.

[@nedthumberland]

My goodness.....I am shaken by this performance.

[@sandrinecozic7214]

Johnny was born in France, his mother was french,his Father from belgium

[@LetsChillPage]

Hello, you talk about what is called "La nouvelle vague" and of Godard's Movie "Pierrot le Fou with Anouk Grinberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo. Johnny Hallyday is dead in 2017 and was a kind of French Elvis/Jagger/Sinatra or even Springsteen star equal in France. His funeral brought together nearly a million people on the Champs Élysée. His career began in France in the 60s and therefore ended in 2017. We can say that it was he who made Lara's career take off by inviting her to do this duet 3 nights in a row during his concert at the Stade de France. Let's say it was a bit like the dubbing of the French King of Rock. In France, Johnny Halliday is called "Le patron" (The boss). Lara Fabian still speaks of this duo at the Stade de France as the turning point in hes career. I perfectly understand what you feel about this performance so "Dramatic". But it's for a spectacular show in a Stade. And Unfortunately, if you see well, in fact we just see a little part of the stage. We even not see the crown, all spotlights, etc. I think this is which creates this discrepancy and gives this impression of overbidding, of ostentation. It had to be a lot better from the spectators' point of view. Thanks for this reaction.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Yes, you're right(about the movie). Thanks for all the info.

[@C.R1987]

It's a song by Johnny Hallyday from the magnificent album "Derrière l'amour" from 1976. When Johnny sings this song alone in concert he puts on more intensity. Here on this duet less because he would have asked that we lower his microphone to make Lara shine. Johnny in all his generosity...

[@bartonbagnes4605]

They definitely were telling a story, but then theater acting is designed for the movements to be discerned from the last row as well as the first. Great vocals though.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Yup

[@DoggieFosters]

On repeated viewings, I grew to really appreciate and even love this performance. This was the piece that he was most known for. He broke it into two voices for a young Fabian to perform it with him, if I'm not mistaken. I believe she is the only female vocalist he ever sang it with. I think they captured the madness of the title well. Requiem for a Madman. She's a powerhouse that gets to the heart of any song she takes on. If you'd like some different looks at her vocal craft: Adagio (English, she wrote, From Lara With With Love concert.) You're Not From Here, also from that concert, she also wrote. Insane vocal control. It's insanely difficult but she keeps it sounding gentle and easy as pie. Her covers of the Italian songs Caruso (with only piano) and Pedere L'Amore from From Lara With Love. 🤘

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Thanks!

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

"This was the piece Johnny Hallyday was most known for" nonsense. Johnny Hallyday one million persons concert at the Eiffel Tower. Millions of persons in the streets at his funeral in France. A Legend since the 60s. Also brought Jimi Hendrix to Europe (France) Johnny was the idol Lara Fabian looked up to not the other way around :-) 110 million records sold in the World. Johnny already sang Rock in the 50s when Ozzy Osbourne still did not know what it was.

[@DoggieFosters]

@@THEREALZENFORCE Your reading comprehension is severely lacking. Try again. Or don't.

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

@@DoggieFosters you : " I believe she is the only female vocalist he ever sang it with." Yes true for that song. you "This was the piece that he was most known for" He sold 110 million albums world wide. Most sold singles songs : Marie Que je t'aime J'ai un problème (duo with Sylvie Vartan) There are six single songs ranked above Requiem pour un Fou (and that is his solo version of the 1970s)

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

@@DoggieFosters So instead of insulting people online and spreading misinformation, you better do some research before making up claims. And for comprehension, sorry English is only my fourth language.

[@mjcole12]

It's just entertainment at the end of the day. We're looking at a stadium filled with 80k+ people...300 piece orchestra and choir, it's raining and these two people are singing, excuse me..., performing their hearts out on stage! Some commenters say it's too much, but for me I have a comparison. The band 'Meatloaf' has a live performance of " Paradise by the Dashboard Light " which is considered "Rock Opera!" Here's the link so you can see for yourself- kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWKUfq2Yesh7otk. What kind of Opera can Lara and Johnny's song be called?...Rock/Pop Opera? I don't know...The intensity between the two ( singers and performances)is the same! Both can seem over dramatic but I believe it was meant to be so that we, the viewer, can feel the passion that this kind of song requires...The roughness of Holiday's voice, I wasn't a fan of at first, but after multiple listening, I've grown to really enjoy this performance....Lara dominated this performance for sure...she was the Alpha here in my opinion

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Yeah I like both voices. The “drama” was just too much for me.

[@mjcole12]

@@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 I respect that. I feel bad for Johnny's left ear as Lara was singing right next to it with that powerful voice of hers lol! Did you check out that Meatloaf vid? Awesome song...Awesome performance!

[@minkstapedes]

I am primarily a liturgical and ensemble singer and this performance blows me away. As a soloist I have had to fight with the emotions summoned by the music to give a good performance. These artists were firing on all cylinders: emotion, power and technique. I don't use "awesome" often, but I am awed by this performance and kicking myself for not seeing Johnny at the Beacon in NYC in 20012.

[@bricemazz]

It is the best , what amazing singers they are

[@lisaargyrou1488]

Wow 🎉 RIP to a french legend ❤️

[@TheGewurtz]

Too monsters Singer's for a monster performance

[@dawnstone610]

Johnny was a big time French actor, motorcyle guy.

[@QueenPcontrolstheuniverse]

there is nothing not genuine. Johnny was that way and Lara too (at the time). it's considered his best duo in his 60 years of carreer and she considers it the best moment of her career, what a legendary moment! I got child even 20 years later!

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

To me it looked way overplayed and acted.

[@QueenPcontrolstheuniverse]

@@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 And for them it's not. It's 100 % natural, that's how they always performed. Lara suffered because of it, the "press" mocked her. She doesn't perform that way anymore as a result. Also a lot of people saw a competition between them even a fight but she says it was the opposite. One needs to know who Johnny is and what he represents to us french to understand this was typical of him and also who lara is. With that being said, if you compare to most artist yeah you could think it's acted and over played.

[@nimocash3535]

I can understand the too much side. But 1) it was on the stadium, so you must show big (and the rain omg this tonight). 2) the lyrics are just insane, you are two people who are crazy, crazy of love and they killed their lover !!! the police are there to arrest him/her

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Thanks

[@fr33z00]

She was only a guest for one song in this Johnny Halliday live show. This guy has been the french super star of the super stars from 17 y.o to his death at seventy something. I absolutely agree that she over exagerated her playing, but when you sing with such a monster, in front of such an audience, and only once, then, you may not be fully yourself :-)

[@crhu319]

Given the lyrics and the fact that the audience had to sit in the rain...it's not too much.

It( performance perceived overwrought) may _or_ _may_ *not* eventually, grow on you. Time will tell. Revisit it, sometime down the road. It may seem like an odd adjective to associate to such a seemingly "in-your-face" offering, but like almost all of Fabian's best work , the word sublime applies here as well; it's this quality that could initially be lost on the uninitiated.

hello, Johny Hallyday is dead now, and was a show master in France, rocky voice well known, and you add to him Lara Fabian with NO AUTOTUNES , just real singing, real singing, the magic of a real voice, a great singer with singing techniques mastered to perfection I have few things to say about this video. Some people can think the gestures are exaggerated. You have to put in context. This is a live concert in a stadium with 90 000 peoples, in a rainy day. You have to do this, so anyone can get the message.

Respectfully disagree. The orchestra, choir, lyrics are powerful, dramatic and the singers embody, portray the feelings perfectly. These two great singers put everything into their performances.

Well, it’s definitely a different style to hers.

He has a good voice. It’s a very distinct sound nothing wrong with that. Sounds dramatic. He didn’t ruin his own song. Just say you prefer her voice and that’s it.
