WOW! I didn't think anyone could hold a candle to Barbara on this song, but man...was I wrong. Lara is a Goddess. Thanks for this Jeff.

Oh GOD yes i can ! they were so so Proud ! her DAd must have been so PROUD of his little girl !! growing to be a WORLD beater ! absolute stunning performance ! I dissolved in tears !

I agree with you regarding the generations. I am French and I had a poster of Barbra Streisand in my room! Lara has made my eyes watery with this version. I never understood the french critics for Lara. She is something else!

I am French Canadian....and I never agreed with the french critics....her voice, her range and her control are phenomenal...she does not only sing a song, she makes you feel the story of the song...to me she is the best.

No one can equal this stunning performance.

You are SO SO right !

There were a handful of Streisand songs that I respected but my feeling was that everything Streisand did was about Streisand. Lara's personality allows her to communicate deeply with her audience. Nobody disagrees that Steisand has skills. She is a unique vocalist, but Lara is in a class by herself. Lara is my drug of choice. :)

Oh my God, I think Lara colud made every daughter's father eyes watery with this song. This is another level, another magnitude, oh, wow, wow, wow....

I love Barbra Streisand, but sorry This Performance of Lara Fabián its SUBLIME, MAGNIFIQUE She is FANTASTIC because she has all the things of a great artist!! I never saw in this life an artist like Lara!! Love...love...love her!!! She a like her song “She’s not from here”❤️❤️

Laras voice is Heaven in reality ! it will never be bettered ! absolute perfection of the female voice !

I’ve seen this a few times and it’s always a joy. She moves and sings like she’s in a Broadway play and could win a Tony for sure.

J'aime tout de Lara Fabian, mais effectivement, cette chanson est un exploit vocal et rempli d'émotions. Je l'ai entendu la chanter à un de ses spectacles (j'ai vu tous ses spectacles lorsqu'elle vient à Québec) et c'était extraordinaire. J'ai aimé la version de Barbra Streisand dans le film (film que j'adore, ainsi que les chansons) et cette dernière est aussi une de mes chanteuses préférées, mais Lara la chante avec encore plus d'émotions, en particulier par sa façon d'être. Elle est tout simplement sublime!

This is the definitive version. She’s at the pinnacle of her power during this performance. It leaves me sobbing. Just freaking sobbing. Every time. And I’ve seen it dozens of times; Lara is my drug, and I overdose on her regularly. If she’d tried to go to Broadway, she’d have ruled New York. And yes, this is better than Barbra.

Lara's biggest influance is Barbara. Lara met her and Barbara complimented her saying that she doesnt compliment people often. This is one of my favorites covers she's done

Hello, I'veseen you react to a bunch of Lara's song and I must say, I strongly resonate with everything you say about her. Thank you very much for your wonderful insights.

loved this reaction.....i cried.... lara owned this song

She gives it all, I love that. And she has the level of control in her voice that wow; breath control, dynamics, emotions, amazing. Thanks for reacting.

excellent review. Thank you. There is no one, like Lara Fabian. She has beautiful voice, absolutely unique. But most importantly, every performance is the most sincere, she lives through every song she performs. Thank you.

True story: I just never cared for the original. It wasn't my thing. No hate for Streisand or song. But when I heard Fabian's version I damn near cried, to my astonishment. Don't even know why. Maybe more life lived added to my response. (But I give the Lion's share of credit to Fabian 😁)

Thanku. I absolutetly love how she sings this song. She's brilliant. And yes, i prefer Lara's version, is just her voice is more pleasant to my ears.

When Lara sings the high, belty notes, there is still a softness to it. This is unlike any other female singer I’ve ever heard. I am also a huge Barbra Streisand fan . I hear some similarities between the two of them. They’re both amazing. My favorite Lara performance is definitely “je suis malade”

Lara Fabián best diva word

She is just wonderful and unfortunately underrated. Her voice range is just incredible.

Both versions are great, but I think Lara's is better. Just my opinion!

i agree

I think what is especially impressive is that Barbra hadn't performed this live but Lara matches Barbra's studio performance with her Live performance. Imagine what she could do in a studio. Then again, she tends to give her best performances in front of an audience.

She supersedes Barbra in every way.

Extraordinaire (France) quel talent et quelle voix puissante

Wow!! Just amazing. I'm speechless.

Lara is a world star and she will stay!

Lara is so perfect❤

Lara FAbian ! the best female voice on the Planet ! period !

Lara is incredible. She is beautiful and has endless energy. Her voice is unmatched.

Salut Jeff,comme je dis toujours Lara est et restera la plus grande interprète de la chanson . elle incarne de tout son être la musique et surtout les paroles et tout çà dans différentes langues et là je n'en vois pas beaucoup d'autres même céline Dion ne le fait qu'en deux langues je pense si je ne me trompe pas . Lara est la plus grande vocaliste et çà en anglais français italien espagnol russe turc hébreu etc etc ... bonne journée à toi;andré. ah j'oubliais elle compose et écrit ses textes alors là il n'en reste plus beaucoup je crois

I really do like your reaction Jeff and your explanations of the music. Lara is amazing and I can't seem to get enough of her. Keep up the good work. :)

Ty for loving Lara and linda. They have been two of my most favorites.

I saw this life in Anwerp so good loveyou Lara

How its even possible to sing such a difficult song?wow

Usually I always prefer the original to the copy But this time they worth each other!!!

Lara 💚

Great reaction! You should check out Lara’s take on Mariah Carey’s “Vision of Love”. It was phenomenal!!

Just wonderful!!!!

Perfecta

Thank you for reacting to this. I love to see different artists' interpretations of songs... especially Barbra's stuff! :)

Besides being a little off pitch in the beginning this is just amazing. No she is not screaming all the time, what idiots say that?? She is the opposite, very dynamic and soulful and so on. She can change the timbre of her voice so she is a master. Can't people hear that it's not her fault. Thanks!

Indeed she was broadly mocked by French critics for singing too loud, shouting, yelling. She broke down live in interviews on the topic of her critics. It also all came about around her release of her bilingual album All The Women In Me, which she invested so much of herself into and yet was a huge critical and commercial flop. It destroyed her.

Yes i think she really had a difficult time there, i recently saw a video from the production of the nue album and she said there was a time where she didn‘t want to live anymore and that was so touching.

I've never thought of her as shouting or yelling. Her belting is always under control. One singer who I do feels yells sometimes is Michael Bolton. I enjoy him when he's singing softer. But when he gets loud, my reaction is, "Why are you screaming at me?"

Thanks for your comments! I am very interested in your assessment of the music of various artists.

that is something i never quite understood about fandom. how can you hate on the idol of your idol xD sure you could prefer your idols performance, but in the end said artist picked out the techniques/styles from their idol. for me i like all 3 barbara, lara and dimash, but my favorite is lara.

The song " El perdón" by Diana navarro

Her Belgian father/papa was in the audience.....

For the difference between this version with the original, I believe that Lara Fabian was influenced by the version of the duet by Michel Legrand , the original composer/song writer , with Ginette Reno at the Montréal Jazz Festival in 1986. Unfortunately the conversion from the video file to digital have butchered the synchronisation but you still can find it at : kzread.info/dash/bejne/o5ybtbirf9q8h7A.html

About the critics, I think she came at the wrong time. There was Céline Dion, who wasn't much into subtlety, and other Canadian trained female with powerful voice singer... French were joking about Canada sending them to France to get rid of them. But music critics never had a big impact on people tastes in France.

I don't know if you already heard her to sing in Spanish? ..so , i you didn't ..react to " Alfonsina y el mar" 😌

Just watched your reaction and read some of the stuff your followers wrote. I think I'm of your generation and agree there were some very good singers "back then", but then again ... not that much. Lara's voice is (in my opinion) less nasal than Barbra. I like this version of these songs better than Barbra's.

Les français n’aiment pas les chanteuses a voix malgré qu’ils aiment peut-être hypocritement Céline Dion et surtout avec cette version elle étais beaucoup plus jeune Bravo Lara.
