It's not really my favourite song, on her tour before she sang the song she used to pretend she's a child and talked really weird
She's a good singer. I like her album NUE and the live album EN TOUTE INTIMITÉE. It's a great album. All acoustic versions of her songs sung with a live orchestra.

I LOVE HER

I like her a lot, although, I've only heard a handful of songs.

Hey, guys! I have a question. Where can I get the songs from Lara's first album 'Lara Fabian'?

[LVCeline]

I think her voice is amazing.  I mean, I've never heard her give a mediocre vocal performance.  Her voice is always in fantastic shape, and it's about one of the most powerful out there.  Her live performances of Adagio are just jaw-dropping.  She never misses a note and she sings her heart out.  I have her self titled English album and most of the songs are fantastic.

[bgold50]

The first time I ever heard Lara was on French radio driving through Provence. i though, "This can't be...a Celine Dion song that I don't know?" I don't remember which song it was, but my friends insisted that it was not Celine and it was, in fact, Lara Fabian. She has a phenominal voice, and I've been a fan ever since. I've never been lucky enough to see Lara live, but I do have her live DVD's. There was a TV special called "With Love From Lara", or something close to taht. Does anyone know where I can get it on video or DVD?
To me, there is no competition between Celine and Lara. They are both incredible vocalists in their own right. Glad to see that Lara is getting the recognition that she deserves here.

Yeah, I wish I could get my hands on the PBS special she did.  I've been watching her videos on YouTube, and some of her performances are just completely out of this world.  Perfection from beginning to end.  I'm dying to see a substandard live performance from her, she never seems to be in bad voice.  She gives it her all when she performs, and can belt like nobody.  

To me, when I listen to her voice I get a mixture of Celine Dion and Martina McBride.

I love Lara Fabian and I am sorry that her international success is not comparable to Celine's ...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes I think so...and can we say about La lettre or Intoxicated?

She's so lovely when she sung also in italian with a perfect pronunciation.

She's really GREAT.

Ciao.

Her italian is fantastic, but I think it's her first language.  I think I remember something about her being belgian-italian, or she's cicilian or something like that.

To be exact, just like she is in all of her interviews, Shon, you have to say that she is a Belgian-Sicilian-Italian-German-French-Quebec-Canadian-English-Vallonish-one-quarter-African singer, songwriter, actress, waitress, producer, performer, entertainer, heartbreaker, stylist, hairdresser and beauty.

Larka has a freaking long title.

No she is just belgian, her mother is sicilian (which means italian since Sicily is a part of Italy in the very south)

[LVCeline]

Solaris, thanks a ton for the link to that site!  Man, absolutely phenomenal.  She doesn't miss a single note the entire concert, her voice just sounds fabulous.  I am in awe when I listen to her sing, because she's completely flawless.  If you have a performance where she misses a note, or flubs a belt or something I'd really love to hear it.  I have really been loving her debut english album lately, there are some great songs on there.

[Céline's Blues]

That her live performances are flawless has a simple reason - her voice is very streamlined i.e. has abolutely no depth. Voices of singers like Barbra, Céline, Whitney and even Mariah have this certan fragility to them and this very aspect makes their voices so vulnerable. That is actually the reason their voices diminish with time - the depth they once had is declining year after year, bit after bit. Larka while being a magnificent live performer and perfectionist lacks the absolute profoundness, the full spectrum of emotions, the rawness on the one hand and the edgyness on the other one. All Larka can do is to sing her heart out, literally. But you don't feel the song, you just hear a singer sing. And you won't hear any decline in Larka's voice cuzz there is nothing there that can actually rasp off with time. The best thing is she herself thinks she is "oh so artistic" while she isn't noticing that the French media abandoned her and canned her as a wannabe Goldman with little emotion.

Classic comment. I can't say it better.    IMO, Larka is a perfect screamer(vocalist) only, not a perfect singer.

[Céline's Blues]

Glad you liked it, Bellamy. We agree on many things.

Lara Fabian is a good French singer

[Boy]

Wether she's a great screamer or a good singer I love her songs and her voie very much. To my mind, she's not only a screamer, sometimes her voice sounds quiet and still so beautiful. Just like one her latest studio album '9'. There are many lovely songs where she does not scream at all, like Il Ne Manquit Que Toi which is her new single or n Ave Maria... Amazing singer, amazing voice and simply a very beautiful woman. Lara rocks! Hot lady!

[AdrianaCarvalho]

I like Lara too

[LVCeline]

I think Lara puts everything she has into performances.  You can tell by the looks on her face, and her body language (which can be quite spastic at times) that she is singing from the depths of herself.  I just want to know what she does to take care of her voice.   It's very refreshing to see someone belt their butt off without holding back, and hitting every note along the way.  She deserves credit for being able to do that.  And opinions are relative of course, because there are many people who don't see any emotion when Celine sings, which of course in my eyes is completely false.

[4celine]

Lara Fabian Who LOVES her?

Me! I'm trying to support Lara because she's a great singer and I think we can love one singer (Céline) without hatting another one (Lara)
Celine talk about love, why not us?
Let's talk about love because it's A Wonderful Life

uuuuuuuuuuuuu If I were you I'd run out of here.....



I DON"T hate Larka.. I simply can't get by her....she has lost her chance on eurovision and THAT prob might have been the reason why she isn't on top
