Vocal Coach Analysis of ‘CARUSO’ LARA FABIAN (First Time Reaction)

In this video, I react for the first time to Lara Fabian performing ‘Caruso’ live. I I was delighted to analyse her hands down PERFECT and ASTONISHING performance, explain and demonstrate her vocal techniques and ultimately tell you what I think made it so great. Lara Fabian is, put simply, a G.O.A.T. Her tonal quality is so singular and her soul shines through her voice!

Lara Fabian is one of the greatest vocal performers in history...full stop.

[@lone9309]

One of? So who sings better?

[@ZoOnTheYT]

@@lone9309 Partly subjective of course, but you might include Pavarotti, Streisand, Dion, or Dimash, who cites Fabian as a big influence. But Lara's ability to convey the emotional impact of the lyrics is unmatched for me.

[@Jean_2412]

@@lone9309 Lara is amazing. I would put Lucy Thomas up there with her. Lucy has an absolute pitch perfect voice and the clearest voice I have ever heard. Beter than Streisand and better than Dion. It is like crystal...

[@yanki198]

Maybe the best

[@observet0079]

Lara Fabian is the best performer and singer ever. Unfortunately, she was little known in America because she was blocked by the "Team Céline Dion" with pressure on the record companies and radios. Apparently they were afraid of their tremendous art. The song Caruso was written by Lucio Dalla, a story about the singer Caruso.

[@jakesmith5278]

Everytime I hear Lara sings, I feel like dying or crying or both. Haven't seen/heard a better performer in all my years.

[@ildefonsobenitez6624]

She's divine !!!

[@546Scott]

One of the only channels I never skip ahead because this women makes these reactions special!!

[@martinoserri8814]

As Italian, I know the song by Lucio Dalla (the one who wrote and composed it, one of the greatest Italian songwriters of all time) and every time I listen to it, tears flow down my face. Lara Fabian (of Italian origins on her mother's side) made this wonderful poem set to music even more touching. I think that unfortunately only those who know Italian can fully understand the text and the feeling behind every single word.

[@evelynszal8027]

I never expected to learn so much about using language in a song ....without speaking the language the song is in 🤯 Another fantastic analysis, thank you!

[@ZoOnTheYT]

How good are you? Honestly, there are thousands of reactors, probably a dozen or so trained in the craft and in vocal analysis, but the depth, articulation and energy you bring to your reactions, I think, is without peer. And that's always there, but it really gets showcased when the singer has extensive training and phenomenal talent. You have so much to parse and comment about, but you always rise to the task.

[@JEmmertz]

It is impossible to post "Lara Fabian anything" without getting thumbs-up. She is, and always will be, beyond all and everything!

[@tastop07]

Lara is AMAZING, but you…you…YOU make us appreciate & love music more & more every time!!! The way you react & translate to all of us, the magic, is mesmerizing !!! You are a master of the thing that unite us…music!!! 👌🏻❤️

[@andybricks576]

My gf is half Sicilian, her surname is "Mare" & she just loves how beautifully Lara pronounces the word 'mare' when she sings it. Lara is one of my favourite singers of all time.

[@justitia257]

Beautiful reaction, gorgeous Fairy. Excellent Italian pronunciation and fantastic perfect pitch. If you happen to come to Italy you are my guest in Sicily. Buona serata e Grazie 🌹

[@LuisBurke]

It's such a delight to watch Lara performing and your humorous but on-spot analysis. Thank you so much! :)

[@PrymalChaos]

Dude I think I have cried like a baby during each of my Lara reactions. She is pure magic

[@sharonlabrecque1655]

Lara Fabian is Fabulous!

[@rodwestonable]

What an incredibly gorgeous song, performance and reaction/analysis!!! Bravo!!

[@charlesdemeillon]

I just love the technicality that you go into with your analysis... Also, Lara is a goddess!

[@Lancer4323]

You have such an acute sense of music and sound ,It would scare me if I had to sing In your presence,your sooo good! ❤❤

[@ericsicard910]

Caruso, is an italian song, written, composed and performed in 1986 by Lucio Dalla as a tribute to Enrico Caruso, the most famous tenor of his time (late 19th / early 20th century). He was the first global singing superstar. The story is about the last days of Enrico Caruso, he knows he is dying, and he is remembering all his career on stage and telling his much younger wife how much he loves her. It has very quickly become a classic of italia music and the biggest names have covered it (Julio Iglesias, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, …. and of course Luciano Pavarotti). Even Metallica covered it But for many, Lara's version from the concert From Lara With Love 2000 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIGVfKGCmtKHbZo is the best ever, as she was able, with her unique ability to convey the emotions of a song, to reveal the real sad story written by Lucio Dalla. I was told that Lucio Dalla himself, after hearing this performance, said that she made it her song and this is the best version he has heard from it. For Lara, this song is really important as this is a kind of anthem for Italy, and she is so much connected to this country. She spent the first few years of her life there with her sicilian mother and grandma. Italian is her first native language. Her husband is also sicilian. She also has been living there for the past few months since the end of 2022.

[@user-qq5hv6qk8m]

La versione originale di Lucio Dalla é molto molto più bella

[@ericsicard910]

@@user-qq5hv6qk8m Than Lara’s? Your taste.

[@pauloferreira840]

Please dont take two more years for a Lara Fabian's reaction. Love your reactions.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

As always, Lolli, an utterly delightful reaction and analysis. Lara Fabian is superb. It's as if she lives the story of each song as she sings it.

[@jeanphilipperondeau1070]

La beauté de Lara Fabian est spectaculaire.

[@reglementme6321]

I know Lara Fabian for ages but, your analysis makes me more appreciative for her art. The way you explain, getting emotional ….. Btw, you have a fine singing voice to and it’s also very pleasant how all your reactions are so filled with admiration and respect> Lara is in my opinion the greatest female “pop”-artist.

[@RobertoAnguini]

One of the most beautiful Italian songs sung by a great singer of Italian origins... as an Italian it gave me shivers

[@ukladyfan6231]

Part of her hypnotic charm is that rocking she does which subliminally moves you as her stunning voice and performance skills to interpret the wonderful lyrics . Thank you for you fab reaction 😊❤

[@John-yx4dc]

Her Adagio is also stunning.

[@LuisCarmo-TFVM]

What a deep and informative vocal analysis. Very impressive like always 🤭

[@dorothyrosenberg1301]

Thank you for this detailed explanation of the reasons that Lara Fabian is my favorite female singer. Her voice is mesmerizing.

[@paulolive1973]

Lara can make you cry with as little as a single Happy Birthday. Shé's the GOAT.

[@regmatsuhara7960]

Thank you Fairy Voice Mother for another great reaction- do reaction to Lara's ADAGIO. Another masterclass from Lara...

[@dporangecounty]

Lolli thank you for featuring Lara Fabian! And also thank you for your reaction / analysis. Your deep appreciation of Lara’s singing greatly adds to my experience. Someone should get 2 front row tickets to Lara’s next concert and invite you. What an evening that would be 😉

[@MrZzyzxx]

Most singers sing notes, Lara Fabian emotes WHILE singing the note..................Her talent and sheer artistry in unmatched !

[@justingamble3876]

What a treat for me...ty. Great reaction, great reactor\teacher\fairy, great song, great lyrics\story...a dying Enrico Caruso saying goodbye to his young wife (and child)...done by the Queen. Long long long may she reign.

[@Ozymandi_as]

When tenors tackle this song, as Lucio Dalla no doubt intended they should, given the subject, they always attack that first line of the chorus, _te vogli-o be-ne assai_ as a big flex moment, and fair enough; but Lara pulls back and turns the phrase into a suspension filled with so much yearning, tenderness and nostalgia that it almost breaks my heart. Her story telling is second to none, and her Neapolitan Italian accent is as creamy yet salty as a plump fresh anchovy. My favourite reading of this song, and a great reaction Lolli. You always hear some things I've not heard before, so much so that I don't even mind the generic affirmations at the end 😂

[@rlew49ers]

This performance is from her PBS Televised concert "From Lara with Love 1999-2000). Every performance from this concert is worthy of a reaction. She also sings in Spanish (Quedate) and several songs in English(I will Love Again, Broken Vow, You're Not From Here and others). BTW, she wrote lyrics to several of the songs performed. Her mother is Sicilian and father Belgian. Before starting this performance she spoke in Italian and made a reference to her mother and grandmother's heritage. Lastly, you have a wonder singing voice!!

[@RoGleSs710]

I always get a stomach ache laughing because of the amount of humor you put into your clear and expert explanation of Lara's singing techniques. Even as a Dutch person, I understand everything you say, because you articulate well. Keep up the good work and get me hooked on your channel by continuing to highlight my favorite singer of all time.

[@shaunhines7883]

I can't even tell you how many reaction videos I've watched of Lara Fabian.. It's the genuine and soulful hearts like yours that confirm the vibrations and emotions I experience from listening to Lara are very real and valid.. *By the way, your voice is breath taking* Have a beautiful weekend love ❤🙏

[@coralesangiovannibattistastezz]

I love Lara ❤❤❤ kisses from Italy 😘😘😘

[@NaturalChaos]

Je Suis Malade changed my life. This one isn't quite at that level for me but her voice and ability to emote in her performances is ridiculous. Incredibly talented.

[@vincentjacobs8238]

Waouw... Great reaction... and crazy that Lara is going through all these tricks so effortlessly and that is seems so intuitive to her. Congrats again for this reaction.

[@Lancer4323]

The way you speak sweet fairy is just beautiful I am fascinated by it , never change a thing. ❤❤

[@lohanwanoeight]

I swear KZbin needs more than a simple thumbs up to show approval. Lolli you get a thumbs up for simply waking up and greeting the day with a "hello gorgeous." I could literally sit and watch you listen to music all day. When that music is coming from Lara Fabian, well then that gets you five fingers and a hand held high in the air. With a resounding yeeees on top! 🙋💕

[@patrickfriedauer4259]

OMG! This is the reaction I've been dying for. Can't wait.

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 Lara studied in Belgium for nearly 10 years, is a fully trained Lyric Soprano, and still returns there quite regularily to refresh and add to her gift ! This version of an old favourite Italian gem, is widely considered to be the finest ! You mentioned her pronunciation, but I would add, that lara takes each syllable in each word, in every line in every lyric, to a clear and complete end, no matter in which of the 12 languages she sings ! For my favourite song of hers, you might need a box of tissues ! Please do a reaction from the same concert called "You're not from here" ! 🇨🇦

[@robertsirois8341]

You are my favorite vocal analyst and today with the best female vocaliste of this century, is fantastic, love Lara , love Lolly Wren, i ve listenned to your clips on your channel and love it also, nice voice and emotions in your renditions

I'm here to thank you for the memories you bringing me: My father was Italian and he loved the opera Caruso was his favorite tenor and I'll have listened to cover for Pavarotti a thousand times, even when I don’t wanted. Lara Fábian's verriondeces is insane. From the bottom of my heart thank you very much Lolli!!!

[@philpiper]

Lolli thank you for appreciating Lara's incredible gifts as well as explaining how she creates those beautiful sounds. I know of no other singer who is able to interpret a songs meaning better.

Soooo beautiful. Phenomenal vocalist and a phenomenal analysis. Perfect combination. 💖🧚💜

[@pamscarr8696]

Lara's mother and maternal grandmother are Italian. They raised her in Italy her first 5 or more years. Still, she is a polyglot, having many languages at her disposal. When you get to know Lara's singing, you will be far more aware of how much influence she had on Dimash. There is a video floating around of Lara and Dimash meeting for the first time at an Igor Krutoy Birthday Bash. The man adores her.

[@tjvertigo]

Thank you thank you for sharing this with us! I love Lara and I love your videos, so yay all around! Lara often makes jokes about how wide she opens her mouth, lol. Calls it her garage. Please don't make us wait so long for more Lara!

[@wallywest2360]

You don't even need the translation to feel the emotion, she just pours so much feeling into every note. It's almost not fair how good she is at both sides of the equation. The emotional connection to the song she's singing, and the technique. I don't think I've ever heard anyone as good at both.

[@SubwaySweden]

Lara is one of very few people out there that can bring a tear to my eye..... she is magnificent.

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

You can't even imagine how anxious I was since you said on Patreon that you had made a new analysis of Lara.... I have two mixed feelings, one bad and one good... the bad one is that it took you a long time to reanalyze Lara, and the good one is that you have done it, thank you very much. At this moment that I have just seen for the first (of many, I am sure) time this video of yours, my nerves are on edge, because in 10 days I will be listening to her live. There are few singers who have had such a long career as Lara (you saw in the chat that she participated in Eurovision 88), maintaining a vocal and interpretative quality as she has done. It is clear that I am not impartial, her voice resonates deeply in me and once I have listened to her, I have found the voice that moves me.

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

I would love that you don't take so long to analyze again one of her performances (I confess that I like her live performances more than her studio albums, I don't know, I find them more... soul) and I would recommend that, although all her concert "From Lara with Love", "Nue" or "En toute intimité" are fabulous (this last one is my favorite), I would suggest that you take a step back from that moment at the beginning of this century and listen to her in a more recent concert with a theme like Mademoiselle Zhivago www. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5ioq3SZntGoo6M, and of course, I would also recommend you to listen to her in her first period, invited by Johnny Hallayday singing Requiem pour un fou, a song inspired by Marcel Carné's 1939 film "Le jour se leve", I am convinced that you will like both songs very much and in this second one you can bring to your channel a myth of the French song, perhaps the most important rock singer of this country.

[@Rackelhane]

This is going to be great fun to watch.🎉

[@zeustn9525]

Fairy mother, loved your reaction, and your Italian, mamma mia! 😊 You're the only vocal coach I heard demonstrating more than convincingly all the notes sung by Dimash. And speaking of Dimash, I think you promised an hour long analysis video of a Dimash's bag of tricks

[@linmonash1244]

No-one, in my humble opinion! - has ever done a better Caruso. It's not just the stunning beauty of her voice, but,as you point out, her massive and finely honed vocal toolkit, her incredibly micro-nuanced use of it, and the intentional use of every breath between. THEN there's her body language 'word painting' as well as her overall stage presence. We always know when an artist is giving it their ALL - and Lara does, each and every time. Just wonderful. Great 'unpack' as always. (I'm always stunned by YOUR voice and Your skills too. We need to see /hear more of YOU!}
