Hello Derek ! C est chouette que tu chroniques des chansons françaises ! Eh oui il y a autre chose qu'edith Piaf ! :) coucou from Brittany ! :)

❤❤❤ this song gives me goosebumps ! Love the Michel Berger 's version. Sure those 3 great singers now sing together in heaven.

The full title of the song is "Diego libre dans sa tete". Wonderful how you put three versions on one video and made comparisons

Derek, don't listen to the haters. You're the only one and I thank you so much for making me rediscover all these beautiful songs with your unique personality. I think this is your best video ever. Thank you very much for this moment.

Three marvellous versions of a great song !

My favorite is still the Michel Berger one as it is the most emotional!! You feel better the liberty striped from Diego and how he probably ended his life in prison alone and powerless.

Maxime Le Forestier - C'est une maison bleue... un succès accroché notre memoire

Well done on tackling the haters Dereck. Don’t let them get to you though, people who cannot behave online or otherwise do not need our attention beyond reporting them. I am loving this video, all three versions are worthy of a reaction so let’s not choose 😉.

It's incredible how you can feel and understand the music 👍👍👍🙏

A great song, 3 great artists with their own take. Thank you for allowing us to appreciate them in one sequence.

Michel Berger and his wife France Gall are singing a story. Johnny is singing his story.

Well done bud. Haters will always be haters. Keep posting great reactions. We love them. One love 💙🇮🇹

Berger's version is the best I think, so sober, so pure, so deep, he did just what the song needed, nothing more.

Listen LE CHANTEUR by BALAVOINE

Hi, Thank you so much ! This song is magical, it takes all our humanism and put it on the stage ! The all 3 singers are dead, they are iconic ! This video is so emotional, for me it's your best !

In France, we have a genius of imitation, michael gregorio. His version is a medley of berger and johnny. You should listen this dereck !!!

I only knew Diego by Johnny Halliday, thanks for giving me the opportunity to listen to other versions

OMG ! Thank you so much for that triple reaction, Dereck. That was so emotional. That song is really beautiful and these 3 artists are so talented. I had chills throughout this video. Thanks again for that and have a nice day, Dereck.

toujours la chair de poule en entendant Johnny :D

You give us goosebumps Dereck don't listen to the haters. I'm french it's a pleasure to see your reacts to our songs. Keep going we love you !!!

Love and Peace to you Dear Dereck You are so nice and sensitive man, very pleased to watch your videos Thanks a lot for your interest to discover many many hits from all the world entire (i hope my english correct ☺️) 💚⭐💚

Thank’s Dereck . For me,France Gall is the best version ,we can feel the émotion .

The 3 versions are really great. I have a personal preference for France's one though. I just love her voice and sensitivity a lot. More France Gall please!

Don't pay attention to haters Dereck! Whatever, you will always have your faithful public! You were still celebrating your 100 000 that you already have in fact more than 106 000 subscribers, waiting and listenning each of your reaction with great pleasure! Diego is a typical hispanic name, not so common in France! The song is absolutely fabulous! Diego is free in his head... I already knew Johnny's version, absolutely delightfull, to my perspective the best one, and very emotive! I didn't know France Gall's one I discovered thanks to you. It is good one too! And thanks to you, I realised I already knew Michel Berger's version, a very good one too! Michel Berger died much too early because all his songs are masterpieces! Both three versions are good but I personally prefer Johnny's one not only because I'm used to it, but also because it was very good and because I find it very emotive! I like the powerful version! France Gall was a real star when her husband was still writing her songs, and stayed a good artist we tend to forget a bit with the time! Her real tubes are Elle jouait du piano debout and Il est libre Max! Thank-you so much for your reactions because you make me revisit the songs I love with a lot of pleasure! And to show the different versions is a good idea because we can discover the other versions we didn't know! Thank-you Dereck for your efforts and we'll always support you!

Merci Dereck

Thanks for your videos. For the little story, Johnny and Lenny Kravitz where very good friends. Greating from France. Keep on

hi Dereck, I am a French who watches all your videos. three interpretations for a song, Johnny interprets revolt and anger to us, France Gall with her gentleness returns innocence to us in the face of injustice, when to Michel Berger, he delivers us sadness.

Salut je trouve tes avis pertinents continue, j'adore!!🙂🙂

I find the 3 songs complementary as one is the scream from inside, the second is the regret and the last one is the melancholy in the prison cell!

Hello Dereck, thank you for this song choice, these are three very nice versions of this wonderful song that resonates a lot with me at the moment, because in France, it's hard very hard, so thank you, Kiss from France

TRIO REACTION, what a wonderful idea !!! And what a iconic, beautiful song in France (Diego, lyrics by Michel Berger)

Yet another French bloke here, passing by at nearly 3 AM. When a person castigates remakes of a same song by saying it’s lazy and uninspired, I always bring up these three versions of « Diego libre dans sa tête » to demonstrate how many artists can sing the very same text and convey the very same message, but with a often wildly different set of emotions. France Gall’s is lyrical, compassionate, with a sense of urgency from the bass line and hints of gospel-ish from the hums. Michel Berger’s is by contrast, more intimist, very expressive but not excessively so, it’s wavering, as if he’s in mourning. And Johnny Hallyday… well, true to himself and its rock’n’roll ethos, his rendition of « Diego » feels larger than life and way more « in your face », but for a reason: while still conveying the same grief as the other two (and especially Berger), it’s done so with pure rage and anger, like a wounded animal; it feels organic, you can hear him sing its guts out. As biased as I might be, I can’t really decide on a « best » iteration. I never listened to Véronique Sanson’s rendition, though… I probably should 😅 Anyways, it’s always a pleasure to witness people from other countries sharing their feelings about French music, personally, it allows me to rediscover artists and works that we, Frenchies, think we know by heart. Kudos mate!

Thank you very much Dereck for all those Diegos :)

F*** the haters, we gotta lot of fun watching you discover our artists and enjoy them as much as you do. Keep up the good work man 👍👍👍❤️

It feels so good to hear france galle voice. so lovely

Great reaction to this great song. I like how you compared these three very different versions. Even if I don't agree with you on the ranking, I agree with you that all three are very good.

Would love to hear more Bee Gees. To love Somebody...Nights on Broadway....How Deep is your love... Dereck you are a great reactor. I have never thought you were not sincere in how you react. You give great insite on the music you play. Johnny Hallyday sings with so much passion. France Hall's version so smooth and Michael Burgers soft and sweet.

Really like what you do, from France you can’t imagine the power of these songs from Johnny and Daniel You did an amazing job mate !

Diego was a big hit for Johnny. His idol and influence, like many was Elvis.

bonjour, suis française et j'adore ton enthousiasme , envers la chanson française , continue , t'aie trop super 😄😄

In France with us Johnny Hallyday is the only one with Claude François to always be up to date Michel Berger wrote a lot of songs for Johnny Hallyday a great man in France Claude François (Cloclo) was in a relationship with France Gall from where Claude François created the original of the song (My way)

Johnny is so powerful in this version. Lots of "rock" elements (guitar, drums, percussions). In my opinion, the podium is: #1 Johnny H. (for the power), #2 France G. (for the smoothness), and 3rd Michel B. (for..erhm... well for no specific reason, but there must be someone in the third position I guess).
