Question... HOW could you not have heard this song before? I mean, it's Lara Fabian... I don't even listen to her and I've heard Je suis malade... it's one of the most famous songs of all time (at least here in Europe... I don't know if in the US it's not even famous cause it's in French)... I'm even more stunned by you not having heard this song before than you were with Lara's utterly ridiculous vocal perfection...

I am an 85 year old classically trained singer and, like you had never heard of Lara Fabian. This is one the best performances I have ever heard and, if one can listen to this without tearing up, you have no emotion. She was born in Belgium, was raised in Italy, knew she was born to sing at five, spent ten years in classic voice training, moved to Canada when she was twenty and speaks French, Italian and English fluently. Currently she is approx 50 and still singing.

[@zachariebrummaire4695]

I"m french and I want to add some details. The original song was performed by a french singer named Serge Lama and the music was composed by a woman Alice dona in 1973. So it"s a wonderfull and astonishing cover made by Lara who's belgium/canadian. This version is a masterpiece which makes me cry every time I listen to it. I love you Lara !!!!

I was so lucky that day, when I came down to the lobby, the girl in there was very nice and we started talking, I told her about Lara and she told me that she has a concert that night, I don't how she got a ticket for me and I spent that night in the best musical experience of my live. Since that moment I fell in love with her. Today, 20 years later, my admiration and love for her is intact. Merci Lara, Notre Ange

This is one of the most complete, emotionally generous, technically perfect and theatrically coherent singing exhibitions I have ever heard in my life while taking the French Chanson to another level. The ability to flow virtuosically and so naturally from a narrating airy pianissimo to a full painful round singing, always choosing the "right" color is of a truly rare quality. This is beyond singing. This is a cathartic humanly experience where pain and beauty merge to oneness. The highest level of a performing Art. Thankyou for introducing this phenomena. I didn't know her before.

[@LetsChillPage]

@@TheCharismaticVoice :) (sorry if my English isn't really always good cause I'm French) Hello, I discover your channel today and so subscribed. And your emotion has so much touch me. I must admit that for myself I never resist to this song and have much difficulty to not express it by tears. There are so few songs and performers who achieve this feat. Maybe two or three at most. So it was even more difficult in this video when I felt like you yourself were about to let one of it leak out and run down your cheek. I am 53 years old tomorrow and I know this song since its release in 1973. Indeed, Serge Lama had sent the autographed record (LP) of his hand to my mother. My father had worked as a valet (person responsible for driving and parking cars) at L'Olympia (Paris) by Bruno Coquatrix a few years earlier (at the end of the 60s so). And so, it allowed him to get to know certain artists who often performed for several weeks on stage including Serge Lama (who at that time was not yet very well known since he was the opening act for an artist. more confirmed than him). So I have a special link with this song that I heard so much. Serge Lama has written and performed many wonderful songs such as "La chanteuse a vingt ans" (The singer is twenty years old) which immediately reminds us of Edith Piaf or Barbara as soon as we listen it (even if it's perhaps not at all of them whose discussed). But also "Les Glycines" which evokes an impossible love between two cousins. Or "L'enfant d'un autre" (The Child of Another) which speaks of a man unhappy to be separated from a woman who had a child from a previous affair and to whom he was terribly attached. And of course "D'aventures en aventures" (From adventures to adventures) which evokes his wife whom he lost in a terrible car accident which he had in his youth, died of her wounds and he who remained hospitalized for many months (that's why he limps with his right leg since). Coming back to Lara Fabian's phenomenal performance, I'd just like to point out two things that maybe you didn't bring up (like I said I don't speak fluent English so sometimes it's difficult to understand exactly everything you're saying). The first is the fact that she leans forward several times as if to support the words and let out the feeling they cause, as if in some way she was vomiting them. For that she was, I think, inspired by Serge Lama himself, who very often practices this gesture in his songs and of course in "Je suis malade" (I am sick) of which he wrote the lyrics (the music is by Alice Dona) . The second is when she says "I drink every night and ...". In a fraction of a second her voice becomes rocky just like that of a woman who would make a scandal outside under the effects of alcohol because she's very unhappy and in distress. It's just perfect. At this moment, we say to ourselves that she's an incomparable singer who could just as well be a very great actress. :)

@@karenmurphy7624 becaus lara sing in french and the world is american ==> english you can to be the best in the world if you sing in french or italin you will never be recognized but if you sing in englisn even a stupid words like (yellow submarine ) you are n°1

[@DoggieFosters]

@@morphilou It's pretty well known that Fabian was signed by Sony when they had Celine Dion (who was taking a hiatus due to having a baby, I believe.) Dion's people were fretting that Fabian would cut into Dion's market share and were instrumental in getting Sony to first push Fabian into more a dance music direction then cancel her time working with collaborators she'd been promised/hoped to work with. And then dropping her/Fabian gave up and returned to working in Europe, Russia, Asia, South America. In the end, knowing how important writing and producing is to her, it probably was the best for her. Not the best for me and my fellow Americans though. 😢 I've really liked a few of Dion's songs, but to me Dion to Fabian is like an 8 pack of Crayola Crayons vs the 120 Deluxe Box set. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ShmuPixel]

Lara is amazing but I would also give credits to Serge Lama for writing the lyrics. His version is just as breathtaking, especially if you understand French. It's an even sadder song if you know the context it's been written in.

[@richardblais7445]

i dont know the context its been written in but i would like to know..love lara a lot

[@ShmuPixel]

@@richardblais7445 Serge Lama was having an affair, it was love at first sight but both of them were married. They both loved each other in secret for years, and eventually planned to break up with who they were with at the time. That woman changed her mind and had to move to another country, which obviously left Serge devastated, and he decided to write this song to express his pain. The funny thing is that song was written in a hurry (more or less 20 minutes, according to him)! Roughly 10 years later they found each other again, got married, had a child together, but she eventually died from a stroke which gave to the song a whole new meaning...

I am stricken by how overwhelmed she appears after she finishes. She can't seem to find the energy to acknowledge her ovation. I think it must have been part of her performance, but that just shows how committed she was to it. After she stopped singing, she was still communicating her emotion. Magnificent!

[@smawpappy9145]

This song was released in 1973 by Serge Lama. It was written due to a heartbreak he endured after someone very special left him. Mrs. Lara Fabian has done this song justice by adding a woman’s heart felt feelings possibly for the same reasons. I am grateful you decided to react to this song since, and with some minor changes, it falls into your wheelhouse of “singable” songs. On a personal note, should you decide to grace the stage with your presence, please let us know. Patrick S.

[@kevinnguyen9268]

I love when people react to Lara Fabian, because most have not heard of her before. She is an amazing singer and vocalist. I feel as though it is a huge disservice for vocal coaches who do not react to her because her popularity isn't as high can make them miss and someone so special. She self-describes herself as a song-writer with a voice. Though she didn't write Je Suis Malade, she really makes it her own and convinces you that she must have written it. She also said one time when she started out as a small time singer, that no one paid her any attention, so she said she had to demand people to want to watch her. Hence the theatrical nature of her gestures and singing. You may not see this, but aside from the common recommendations, I HIGHLY recommend you react to: 1) A Piece of Sky/Papa Can You Hear Me (She's wearing a white suit in a very old video) 2) Voir un Ami Pleure (En Toute Intima). The second song I listed is a lot like this one. She doesn't do anything vocally crazy, but if you want to react how she acts through her singing...that is a good one too. 3) Je'taime - she has many performances, but personally I love " Lara Fabian Je t'aime Les années tubes ". Other common recommendations: Adagio, Broken Vow, Caruso, You're Not From Here all from the same concert as this one. One thing I loved about your reaction today is you really hit the nail on the head with who she is, without knowing anything about her.

[@morphilou]

lol in amreina may be but in europe everybody know lara fabian ans other very good singer it is a question of text (the french and italian text >>> english tex but unknown in the usa)

[@DoggieFosters]

I was curious, knowing that Fabian is a talented composer and songwriter - and producer- herself, so I dug up Serge Lama's early recordings and performances. Long story short, Fabian fiddled around with the arrangement pretty extensively, and every choice added to the dramatic build perfectly. So much so, after this, Lama incorporated some of her choices into his own performance, like making that one section a cappella.

[@christianmeyer6724]

Dear Kevin I can't agree more in both respects. You sure hit the nail regarding Lara's "give it all" performance as well as Elizabeth' profound and empathic reaction.

An absolute sign of total respect from the audience is when no one, I mean no one, moves even an inch during the performance. And then at the conclusion when Lara gets a standing ovation, instead of the audience eventually all standing they almost, as a group, get up as one immediately after the music stops. Even the piano player almost crushed his keys on his final note. Meanwhile, Lara is trying to emotionally get out of the song.......Spectacular stuff! And, Elizabeth, you made the whole experience even more wonderful with your fantastic reaction and analysis (as usual)!

Absolutely beautiful. I live in France and discovered her several years ago and still think that is one of the best vocal performances of all time. Stunning.

[@treasurecompanion]

The respect you show in your analysis of this performance is appreciated by me because I’m with you 100%. This song is special to me .

[@patricjonsson3695]

What to say.... Lara Fabian is absolutly amazing, and the goosbumps is always there, love it!

[@Pauloajm15]

She is indeed a legend. It is not by chance that Dimash looks up to Lara. "Je t'aime" is also a phenomenal song. There is a live version where the audience is just amazing and Lara again, is able to "on the fly" opt for perfect nuances and changes. I live her voice, her colours but above that, her delivery is an example to most female (or male) singers. Thank you, Elizabeth for bringing such fun and joy to your analysis and reactions. You always keep it professional and real but you bring this joy and passion about the entire process that is so contagious. Thank you so much for that.

[@yeldososkenbay110]

Her all songs which she's wrote and sining phenomenal...why I'm not learned Italian and French!!! Each her performance it's a LIVE and she's telling us story with all her heart! I love Lara Fabian ❤️

[@MolnarG007]

For me this is her best performance ever, since the emotions have blew me away. The second most emotinal clip about her is Lara Fabian Je T'aime Live Concert Warning! very very VERY emotional! (pl.s note "Je t'aime" means "I love you". "On t'aime", We love you !) kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4iliaqXhJ52bMU But I have to admit in this her singing quality is even more secondary in this one, but it's an experience to watch. Cheers from Hungary!

[@robertoerto1799]

Yessss.. spechlees

[@DoggieFosters]

Right, she barely sings in this. It's all about the special moment shared with a mass of fans (who can carry a tune!)

[@denniswade4998]

My music choices have always been based on artists that truly move me with their performances, and Lara Fabian has always done that. Every song comes straight from the heart with deep feelings, like she believes the lyrics completely. One of my favorites is "Caruso". It makes me cry every time I listen to it!

[@danielleshay1972]

She is so amazing. I discovered this video when looking for French songs of my past, and couldn't stop it in my head. I had to listen to it every day sometimes more than once a day because it haunted me. Listen to her other songs. They're all masterpieces

[@utilisateurlambda7983]

Try the original version: Serge Lama - Je suis malade. This song was written for a man. It's powerful too. Lara had to put all her soul into it. It couldn't be otherwise.

[@javyoung]

08:50 when she sings, c'est ca, my fav bit every time. don't know how she holds it together x

[@jimkelly4573]

Lara Fabian has one of the best female voices on the Planet and, when you combine her artistry, it is one of the best performances I have ever seen!! The emotion is so over- whelming that, I need to wipe tears from my face so that I can see.

[@dianerizi9119]

Lara Fabian is one the best singer I know. Each time, I hear that song by her I cry. And I heard it at least a hundred times! It is so powerful and full of emotions. I just so beautiful!

[@bbwng54]

I discovered her 2 years ago and she is one of my favorite singers (male or female) , even though I don't understand any other language besides English. Her outpouring of emotions through her singing, her facial expression, her body movements, being "in the moment" is incredible.

[@marcgoodwin4899]

In my opinion this goes down as one of the best performances ever!!! 💖💖

[@maudesteel113]

Simply LARA! She is so underrated and theatrical, emotional, and so on cue with her perfect tone and tenderness. One feels every single emotion she evokes in this song and it is so hard not to just break down. The words of the song also packs a big gut punch.

[@mykindamakeup]

I love that you did this song, it's one of my all-time favourites when it comes to royal theatrical singing. She's so in character and that voice... lovely reaction.

[@no2freakshow]

Lara Fabian can sing "Happy Birthday" & make you cry.

[@nickyking3143]

I know,right ? I have become somewhat obsessed with this particular performance and i listen to it over and over. I get chills every time and it's not even that i can relate to the story ! Amazing.

[@louiscassar7085]

Lara Fabian is unique! She sings with emotion, she adds her soul in every note, and her voice is perfect. I believe this is one of her best live performance.

[@david8157]

Lara Fabian is force of Nature... she has the power to break hearts wide open.... amazing.

[@jesman1985]

I've watched this performance so many times!! There's getting into character.. Then there's this!! She invokes so much emotion and is so vulnerable when she sings. I don't think anybody can ever cover this and really do it justice. Even if they have the vocals down. I don't know of too many artist that can lay it bare like Lara.. The only other person i can think of is Jacques Brel. Not so much on the vocals but the emotion and being that vulnerable. Its beautiful.

[@ToveriJuri]

It's something else. It's rare to see even world class actors portray emotion this well.

[@smokemapleinc2412]

I am so incredibly excited to see how perfectly you align yourself with Lara. Your comments and expressions are equally as amazing as her vocals!

[@papaquonis]

How have I never heard of her before? This was absolutely brilliant!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I love the way she incorporates a kind of “snort”or “choking” sound because she is sick with emotion.

[@PianoNotion]

This is breathtaking! I love her. We have the chance to have Lara as a coach in The Voice (Quebec version). Have a great day all!

[@chipburner65]

This is very powerful. I suggest "Broken Vow" as next reaction video. It' a very very beautiful song composed by Lara

[@kevinnguyen5042]

Agree. Love “ broken vow”. I cried when I listened to her for that song

[@kevinnguyen5042]

Broken Vow sounds like a timeless song for me. Its melody and lyrics are so beautiful

[@chipburner65]

@@kevinnguyen5042 Yes I think the same. In addition I think that Lara's rendition of this song is so intense even better than Adagio

[@patrickgauvreau5634]

It's not a song composed by Lara Fabian but by Dalida 🤔😉

[@chipburner65]

@@patrickgauvreau5634 interesting I thought that the music was by Walter Afanasieff and the words by Lara

[@yayangyang7136]

I am waiting. Finally you react lara fabian je suis malade. This is one of Lara Fabian's favorite songs. I'm so excited, To see your reaction

[@jaydeeess8996]

Fantastic response!!!! Lara is a true legend!!!!

[@1240enzo]

Lara is a superstar and totally grabs your heart when she sings.Technically she is superb but it’s so much more than that, her voice is incredible. I can’t think of another singer who can carry the vulnerability of emotions and yet control when she performs.

[@georgegilbert6969]

Don’t see you speechless very often!!!!!!

[@jossfan]

Another gorgeous reaction to this brilliantly visceral, entirely devastating performance by Lara - thank you Elizabeth!

[@michelegagne5169]

I must have listened this performance over a hundred times already and this makes one more! What a beautiful and heartfelt performance from Lara.

[@haralds9996]

So glad you did this song from the wonderful Lara Fabian; she deserves many more honest and emotional reactions like yours. You felt it. She is performing with the voice, heart and her whole body, gestures. There are performances in equal quality from Lara like Adagio, Caruso or Perdere L'amore from the same concert night. Even if you dont react to them, just watch them for your own pleasure. Enjoy it. 💖💥💥

[@baderjd]

This is the best reaction to Lara Fabian,,, your glowing eyes say it all ❤

[@yeseniabuonomo1538]

I was lucky enough to see her perform in Chicago for my bday. She's Absolutely amazing!!💜💜

[@musaakca534]

You're so lucky

[@gzin33]

OMG I came to your channel because of the Nightwish reaction and decided to watch your other reactions and I am so glad I did. Even though I am from the US I can understand and speak French well and I can just lean back and close my eyes and feel every word. She is amazing and I will be searching more of her singing to here more. It just pulls you in and you feel every word. Thank you for another great video.

[@in_differ_ence]

Finally 😉 looking forward 🙏🏻 then Caruso and Adagio from Lara pls. 😇😎

[@in_differ_ence]

And great reaction 😍 you really enjoyed her sincerity, openness and honesty beyond her perfect vocal technique 🎉 please more and more Lara 😇😎

[@karlaespinosa6023]

Yes 😍😍😍

[@Lilygirl283]

And broken vow is beautiful too...

[@andreaceccacci4225]

Yes please!

[@7cameo7]

Lara is a great actor and singer! ❤️❤️❤️👌😃

[@WilburnJR88]

I had never listened to Lara Fabian until I watched this reaction. Stunningly beautiful and captivating. I closed my eyes and was teleported to new place. Captivating, angelic, amazing! The reaction only reinforced the power and emotion of this artist. Wow!

[@sandrar.focseneau4106]

Absolutely amazing. I almost believe it's an autobiographical song although I hope not. One woman singing her heart out alone, on a stage. Impressive.

[@richardk.4503]

For me this is one of the greatest musical performances of all time. It ALWAYS makes me cry, no matter how i often i listen to it.......and i listen to it a lot. Thank you for your wonderful and above all, respectful review. I would also recommend her singing Caruso.

[@hugoagogo]

I "liked" the video before I even watched it. I knew your reaction to this performance was gonna be amazing!!!

[@rebeccageiser5692]

Love Lara singing this song. Sooo emotional!

[@ZoOnTheYT]

This is one of the greatest performances I've ever witnessed. I've seen it a few times over the years, but with time in between, as the emotional hit I experience is so strong.

[@luiscarulla4607]

Thanks for your reaction, like me you are completely moved by how amazing Lara Fabian is

[@LemonSquezzed85]

My favourite performance of Lara for so many years straight. So happy you discovered her too 🤗. Thanks for the reaction.

[@mightyravendark932]

WOW!!! This is amazing! Thank you for introducing me to this amazing singer. I don`t speak french and I don`t understand french but it doesn`t matter at all. It was just beatiful. You are the best:)

[@elisangelaferreirasoares6872]

It was worth the wait, and Lara Fabian's interpretation of all the songs she sings is very beautiful. Lara only leaves the character when the song ends.A real spectacle.

[@danielhousset3210]

Such a beautiful and sincere and moving reaction ! Reaction worthy of Lara Fabian's immense talent ! Thank you so much !!!!

[@ovidiuiliescu9999]

Lara not only sings,she lives emotionally this song,a cocktail of sadness,resignation,anger,and those voice transitions from low to high without a wrinkle moving on her face,that sigh after almost every lyric,and final,she stays almost 1 minute in that story of the song until she interacts again,with the audience!!! Great voice,i love her!
