I admire what your are doing Dereck. Despite the fact that you are not fluent in french you still appreciate the valuable french songs and that is very rare from an American person.

Croire qu'on a écouté une chanson alors qu'on n'a rien compris à ce qui a été chanté, mouais.

Two huge artists, composers and writers. Both pianists.

Never...never underestimate Véronique Sanson's ability to take a song elsewhere on another summit😉

This song is so powerful. No word can describe this masterpiece. He was a genius!

Both of them are genius. Véronique.....wow.....i grew up with her. And i still sing her songs, every Day.

Agree , I can't stop listening Veronique Sanson at the moment she's hypnotic. it's crazy

L'une des plus belles chansons de Michel Berger.....💖💖💖💖💖 Merci Dereck !

Berger is great but Veronique Sanson is a great singer songwriter in her own right. Please do more of her discography 😉

Vive Michel Berger 👍🇫🇷

*Dereck, tu m'as fait redécouvrir cette chanson, j'avais oublié qu'elle existait, et pourtant elle est magnifique...* Tu vois, tu sers à quelque chose ! Merci.

MORE Véronique Sanson please ! i love her ...

Cette chanson me donne des frissons !! magnifique musique , magnifiques paroles !!!! Sublime ! Michel Berger était un génie !

Hi Dereck, This song was wonderful, michel Berger a genius of the french music, he sings another great songs, "message personnel", "quand on est ensemble", "ça ne tient pas debout", "mademoiselle Chang", its magnificent and fabulous, he sing too with France Gall, "laissez passez les reves" or "superficiel et léger" its so magic songs.

Finally, more of Véronique Sanson. TT

Veronique Sanson was Michel's first love, but she fell in love with an american musician. She left Michel to go live in USA. After that, Michel met France Gall, and even if their love was truly deep, he was still somehow nostalgic about Veronique. The legend says he wrote this song about their break up. It became the biggest hit of his album (which title means "How love is bizarre"). Veronique heard the song, while living in USA she wrote another song to respond to him. "Je serai là" (I'll be there) is a different song, written by Veronique, you should check it ;)

@@Com1poisson76 Oui, ça, c'est vrai. En tout cas, c'est ce que Véronique Sanson raconte puisque lui n'en a jamais parlé. Et l'Américain est Stephen Still, qu'elle avait rencontré quelques semaines auparavant. Mais en ce qui concerne l'histoire de la chanson, il ne l'a jamais écrite pour un ancien amour mais pour France. Sera-t-elle encore là après plusieurs années quand les habitudes du couple feront le quotidien. Véronique Sanson n'était plus là ; France, elle, était là et sera-t-elle encore là après tout ça. C'est ce que Michel expliquait dans une interview de 1975. Donc source : Michel Berger himself. Et soit dit en passant, "Un jour, un destin" est bourré d'erreurs de chronologie et de faits. Et c'est le cas sur tous les artistes qu'ils traitent.

Une très belle artiste , et contrairement à d'autres , elle mérite d'être connue .

magnifique morceau pour des textes sublimes notre Michel nous manque tellement des artistes de cette trempe au jour d'aujourd'hui il'y en a plus en France Berger était un brillant compositeur et surtout avec France gall ils ont marquer toute une époque qui est la mienne également toujours d'excellent choix de Dereck

What a treat! Michel Berger and Veronique Samson, 2 grands standards de la chanson francaise; et cette superbe chanson. Que c’est beau!

Véronique Samson, THE vibrato. My youth, I was 15, my favorite singer. As time goes by.....

It’s the unic song of Michel Berger that i play in piano, i love it.

Oui! Absolument !!!

My fav Berger song, along with "Quelques mots d'amour". So profound and soulful. The fragility of this question: "will you be there?" just tugs at you. You can't ignore it. In the end, all we ever crave is a companion, another human who cares as much as we do. The music is so pensive and gorgeous... sigh... Best son ever.

Btw your idea of comparing two versions of the same song is brilliant;-)

Hi Dereck, Michel Berger "Les princes des villes" for the next please ;)

The end of the 80's and beginning of the 90's are certainly her best period as accomplished artist. Véro is wonderful. 💐🍀💐🍀💐🍀💐

my taratata- Nagui - france gall et veronique sanson- la groupie du pianiste . Unique duo of Michel berger ' s two loves

🍀💐🍀Thank you Dereck🍀💐🍀 I made this sugg months ago, thank you Dereck. I love Véro, she's wonderful.

Good thoughts about both versions. Beautiful song indeed. Legendary song by Michel. Such a nice melody, mélancolique loop, nice sad lyrics. Painful beauty

2 words only : thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Hey Dereck, love when you react to a song and cover. It's wonderful to hear the differents versions and to feel the differents emotions through differents singers. 💜

Hi Dereck! we can't choose between the two , michel and veronique have so much in common musically . But Veronique makes me cry ; and i love that ah ah ! she has a special place in my heart , her failure is so , so strong and when she sings you can feel the pain ...

Yes ! You make the good choice 👍

C'est merveilleux... Tous les 2... 💔💖

I prefer the sanson's version but the original is fabulous too. The lyrics are so intense. I think with the instrumentation of the original and the voice of veronique it would be even more beautiful. I suggest next reaction Amoureuse - HQ STEREO 1974 of Veronique I'm sure you will love it.

Stephen Stills was Veronique Sansons husband in 1974 ,...Stills from Crosby Still Nash and Young for memory !

veronique sanson is an artist to really discover !! a great voice, great pianist and great songs. On stage she is phenomenal. if not magnificent michel berger song, among so many others, this man left us nuggets.

One of his most beautifull songs

This song is so beautiful... It is impossible to choose between Michel Berger and Véronique Sanson. They are as talented as each other. Their songs make them eternal. To answer your question, Michel Berger already knew France Gall since they had married in 1976 (a year after the release of the song "Seras-tu là ?" in 1975). Can you please react to Véronique Chanson’s song "Amoureuse"? (1972). She evokes in an absolutely wonderful way a night spent with Michel Berger. Thanks for your videos! You’re great!

Both are great, emotion all the way.

these two are so talented, thanks to these two wonderful artists, and to you dereck of course. If you like you should try : "Amoureuse" Véronique Sanson / "Message personnel" Françoise Hardy

Le plus grand chanteur interprète le plus magnifique chanteur Michel Berger

Vive la France!!

The lyrics are f****ing strong.

I LOVE both Berger and Sanson but for this song, I'm just entirely submerged by the emotion she gives, it's heartwrenching, it's beautiful... I'm looking forward to you listening to more of their songs, I'd love to hear your thoughts on "Toi et Moi" and "Vancouver" from Sanson, and for Berger you can't go wrong with "Quelques mots d'amour", "Le Paradis Blanc" and "Chanter pour ceux qui sont loin de chez eux".

Sumptuous! Dont't forget Françoise Hardy's 2019 marvelous rendition.

The two artists were in couple. When she left him, they keep up corresponding with each other with songs

Véronique Sanson ❤️❤️

Masterpiece 💙🤍♥️

Magnifique !!!!

Hi and thanx for this reaction! Maybe you should know, when Véronique was in the USA and not so happy with Stephen Stills, her husband at the time, she wrote "le maudit". It´s a song about her feelings for Berger and her situation in the USA. She then came back to France and her first TV show in France was with Berger and she had to sing this song "le Maudit" in his presence. Berger said, it was a beautiful song. That´s all. You can watch this on youtube. "Seras-tu là" is in a way an answer to "le Maudit". Then she answered with "je serai là". But you can feel in this song, she´s showing a limit and yes, she will be there as a friend... And the song "La minute de silence" you reacted to, is the last answer of Berger, and his way to tell her...he has buried his love for her. That´s why the minute of silence. It was beautiful, that for that song Berger had the help and and the support of his best friend, Balavoine.... OK.... keep enjoying other musical discoveries!!! Keep up the good work....

Beautiful...i saw that you never reacted to another song from him called "quelques mots d'amour", probably one of his best

Bonsoir Derek. L émotion de la rupture est beaucoup plus palpable et émotionnelle chez Michel. Très grand parolier regretté.

Me thinking you are partial towards feminine vocalists… Véronique Sanson is being Véronique Sanson but with Michel Berger, there’s such humility that he fades behing the song, he is the song and this is the reason why I prefer his version.

When you grow old it's impact is great. I grew up with this one as my life progresses

Le talent majeur des années 70 80. Derek décidément a du goût!

Dereck, please listen to EVA (german born) singing mostly in French: ''Dis quand reviendras-tu'' (tell me, when you will be back). Barbara, the french singer, wrote and interpreted that song. A jewel. Eva's lived and died in Montreal in March 2020. She exposed her paintings too. She had a spellbinding voice and her stage presence, his warm personality earned her respect and admiration from both critics and audiences. The song ''Où s'en vont mourir les reves'' (where the dreams die) was liked by many.

A marvel of French music ...

Michel's because he goes full force with real instrumentation

She wins thanks to her vibrato ^_^

Michel Berger 🤩

Hi Dereck, love that format when you react to both the original and the cover. In this case, Véronique is by far above with her vocals and it makes me prefer her version. I do love the instrumentation on Michel Berger's one though.

hi derek you should eared and react to " pour me comprendre" i think the best one as french people says BR stephane

Dereck please listen AMOUREUSE about véronique Sanson . It's the answer of the song SERAS TU LA.

If you find a video, you should check out the duet between France Gall and Véronique Sanson, singing "la groupie du pianiste" 😊

Michel berger un génie

Another great Berger standard, pure émotion.

For your next video listen Maxime le forestier San Francisco or une maison blue they are beautiful song
