LARA IS BACK IN FALL OF 2008! -New classical-inspired pop album out by year end. -Fan Meet & Greet in Belgium in October; and Paris to follow. On the menu: photos, autographs, questions & answers, acoustic music. (Through Fan Club registration http://www.lara-fabian.fr ) INTRO: Here is Lara Fabian's prayer for the world: "Aime" (Love) off her 2006 live DVD Un Regard 9. She wrote this song while on a plane ("between heaven and earth" as she puts it) and it reads like a silent plea for all of us to give love more consideration. Coincidently, I find that the mix of earthy and celestial notes in the song render the urgent message of the lyric in the most profound and troubling of ways..almost to the point of making the truthness of the emotion too much to bare. But Lara is just that powerful an artist. Below I included a translation/adaptation of the lyric. "AIME" (Love) It is a tender fruit That the universe and the earth together sow A divine gift we're being given If we still believe in this chance Then life conspires to hand us Our other half of the orange It is a journey to the core of the flesh Where war does not exist The proof that each one of our prayers If sincere, will find an answer Despite the absence As soon as love makes its way Love, Life is so beautiful As soon as you become him or her who loves The certainty that the other is essential Will be your rendez-vous Like a sign from up above Love, And don't give a damn about hate Never again should you become Him or her who pains Solitude is a cruel and lonely road Remember that love is an Eternal It is a caress and we tremble Together, as we no longer expected It is a gaze that resembles us In the face of that stranger Suddenly tears inundate the hearts And we touch happiness Love, Life is so beautiful As soon as you become him or her who loves The certainty that the other is essential Will be your rendez-vous Like a sign from up above Love, And don't give a damn about hate Never again should you become Him or her who pains Solitude is a cruel and lonely road Please, remember that love is an Eternal I say this to you: LOVE I say this to you: LOVE I say this to you: LOVE Thanks Davidhr for the initial translation. AIME (original French lyrics) C'est un fruit sucré que l'univers et la terre ensemence Un cadeau divin nous est offert Si l'on croit a cette chance La vie s'arrange pour nous donner Notre moitié d'orange C'est un voyage au creux de la chair Ou la guerre n'existe pas La preuve que chacune de nos prières sincères trouvera Une reponse malgré l'absence Dès que l'amour s'avance Aime, La vie est tellement belle Dès que tu deviens celle ou celui qui aime La certitude que l'autre est essentiel C'est ce rendez-vous comme un signe du ciel Aime, Et fous toi de la haine Ne redeviens pas celle ou celui qui peine La solitude est un chemin cruel N'oublie pas que l'amour est une Eternelle C'est une caresse et l'on tremble ensemble On ne s'y attendait plus C'est un regard qui nous ressemble au visage De cet inconnu Soudain les larmes inondent nos coeurs On étreint le bonheur Aime, La vie est tellement belle Dès que tu deviens celle ou celui qui aime La certitude que l'autre est essentiel C'est ce rendez-vous comme un signe du ciel Aime, Et fous toi de la haine Ne redeviens pas celle ou celui qui peine La solitude est un chemin cruel Souviens-toi que l'Amour est une Eternelle Je te dis A I M E Je te dis A I M E Je te dis A I M E

INTRO: For a very occasion, Quebec chanteuse Lara Fabian and Richard Marx meet to sing a live version of the duet they recorded in 1996 for the Canadian edition of Marx's Flesh & Bone album. The two collaborated over the phone for the most part, after meeting through a mutual friend musician Bruce Gaitsch, and the only other times they sung this together was at Marx's concert in Montreal, on April 25 and 26th, 1997. According to the singer at richardmarxonline.com "Surrender To Me has been recorded several times, and was even a top 10 hit for Robin Zander and Ann Wilson from the movie "Tequila Sunrise." My favorite version is my duet with Lara Fabian." (He did another version of the song with Samantha Cole for the US version of his CD) This broadcast is from 1997. BIO: Italian-Belgian pop singer Lara Fabian was born to be a superstar diva. She was classically trained as a child, and at 18 she flew to Quebec to begin her career as a solo artist.

On the menu: photos, autographs, questions & answers, acoustic music. (Through Fan Club registration http://www.lara-fabian.fr ) INTRO: A stage dynamo, lyric soprano Lara Fabian always leaves the viewer breathless with her gutso delivery and evocative gestures. - Here she sings the classical piece Ave Maria by Franz Schubert. And though the quality of the video isn't excellent, it doesn't take away from her passionate and soothing performance..A prayer sent to a place where time and space cease to exist and only beauty remains. The broadcast is from Quebec, around 1995. The singer introducing her is Jean-Pierre Ferland. About "Ave Maria": Though the melody of this song belongs to Schubert, the latin words do not. The original work is named "Ellens Gesang III" (D 839) and is setted on a song from Walter Scott's popular epic poem "The Lady of the Lake". This is the pray the queen Ellen addresses to Maria, calling upon her for help. (Thanks to member MattMatto for the info) BIO: Italian-Belgian pop singer Lara Fabian was born to be a superstar diva.

A stage dynamo, lyric soprano Lara Fabian always leaves the viewer breatless with her gutso delivery and matching gestures. Artists like Barbra Streisand, Linda Eder, Josh Groban, Toni Braxton and Christina Aguilera have all sung her praises. Here she sings Barbra Streisand's song "Evergreen" from the movie A Star Is Born, which has always been a favorite of hers to sing from the time she was a teenager performing in the Bruxells bar scene. What I enjoy about this performance is the display of her perfected soulful & milky-warm lower register, which for a soprano is quite an achievement. Some will probably complain again that her tone is "colorless", but that's the very beauty of her voice: understatement! The brodcast is from 1994 Le Bal des glaces iceskating show in Quebec. INTRO TEXT: "I've always thought for the song I've chosen to interpret for you tonight that the perfect, magical moment was needed..and I think that tonight is perfect moment. A magical moment".

A performance to remember. Phil Collins and Lara Fabian (whom he refers to as "the best voice in the world") singing Genesis's old hit "Throwing It All Away". I absolutely adore this rendition ! - with the clever use of the 3 acoustic guitars, Phil playing the "air cymbals", and Lara nailing the vocals with her soul-dipping belts...She sounds so gorgeous and intense! *The recording took place at Tennis Dreams Night @ Geneva Arena, Switzerland on 8th December 2003.

And watch for her using her light and colorful soprano voice in this song, which people have always had a hard time believing to be her natural voice since Lara so often uses her lower range. The end of the song is also great as she closes with her trademark powerful pop belts which give the song the cinematographic grandor it needs. Featuring by Gregory Charles at the piano.

On the menu: photos, autographs, questions & answers, acoustic music. (Through Fan Club registration http://www.lara-fabian.fr ) INTRO: A true stage dynamo, Lara always leaves the viewer breatless with her gutso delivery and evocative gestures. Nobody moves like her!! Here she sings one of her signature songs Je suis malade (I'm Mad) and demonstrates her talent as an actress of music. As she once said "I like putting myself in danger when I sing sometimes", she gives it her all and then some for the public here. It's both an inspiring and devastating moment to witness. Je suis malade (Serge Lama/Alice Donna) Unofficial Lyric Adaptation, by me David Man (**literal translation follows this text) I'M MAD I don't have a dream I don't have a hit I don't even have a name In the lost and found Like a broken child I'm just a mess and I don't care I don't wanna live I don't wanna give Why give when you're not there I don't have a life And even the skies Turn blue to grey When you're away Chorus: I feel truly mad Completely sick, really mad Just like when mom was leaving me Hopelessly crying in my bed all through the night I feel truly mad Completely sick, really mad Nobody knows when you'll be home And when you're home, I'm on my own Why do you treat me the way you do What did I do Could it be a sin Could it be I'm weak What is it I feel for you Every single day I will play the game Pretend I'm ok when they're around I'm drunk through and through Oh it's nothing new You know, nights're the enemy When I close my eyes It's still you I find There's no hiding place, you're everywhere Chorus: I feel truly mad Completely sick, really mad I am a bird under your sky I'm burning like an inferno Without a spark I feel truly mad Completely sick, really mad Because of you I'm lost for words Because of you I'm without song And yet I know I had it all Before your touch What more can I do ? I feel like a fool Here in the dark, by the radio Soon I will be down Alone in the night Singing over and over these crazy words Chorus: I feel truly mad Completely sick, truly mad Just like when mom was leaving me Hopelessly crying in my bed all through the night I feel truly mad That's right...I'm mad! Because of you I'm lost for words Because of you I'm out of touch And now my heart is going wild..wild I swear I'm gonna fly up high That's right... my heart is truly mad **Note, this is an adaptation, not a literal translation (word for word), which means liberties were took as far as rendering the text to conserve measure & rhymes, but the general idea of the lyric is still there. Another note : The word "malade" in French has several meanings; one being "sick" (as in illness)...the other being "sick in the head" (as in being mad, deranged or crazy). It's the second meaning that is rendered in this adaptation. Literal Translation (by 123marieee) I Am Ill I don't dream anymore I don't smoke anymore I don't even have a story anymore I am unclean without you I am ugly without you I am like an orphan in a dormitory I don't want to live My life anymore My life stops when you leave I no longer have my life And even my bed Transform into a train station When you go away I am ill, completely ill, Like when my mother went out at night And left me alone with my despair I am ill, perfectly ill No-one knows where you go when you leave No-one knows when you will turn up again And it'll soon be almost two years You've not given a damn Like to a rock Like to a sin I'm hooked on you I'm tired I'm exhausted Of pretending to be happy when they're there I drink every night And every whiskey They all taste the same to me And all the boats carry your flag I don't know where to go anymore, you're everywhere I am ill, completely ill I shed my blood in your body And I'm like a dead bird when you're asleep I am ill, perfectly ill You have deprived me of all my melodies You have emptied me of all my words But I had talent before you came along This love is killing me And it goes on and on I will die alone with myself Close to my radio Like a silly kid Listening to my own voice that will sing I am ill, completely ill, Like when my mother went out at night And left me alone with my despair I am ill, perfectly ill You have deprived me of all my melodies You have emptied me of all my words And my heart is completely ill Surrounded by barricades, you hear, I'm ill

Mario Frangoulis is a greek tenor whose handsome looks and bonafide talent has helped him cross over to the pop market. Here he sings his first hit Vincero Perdero live on stage. This footage is off the 2002 DVD "Mario Frangoulis - Sometimes I Dream (Live in Concert)" available on amazon, ebay, etc. BIO : Greek opera star Mario Frangoulis had topped the charts in his home country for four years before the 2002 release of his international debut Sometimes I Dream. Describing the disc's fusion of contemporary sounds and operatic vocals as "not your standard classical record", Mario is the first to admit there's something unusual about his style. He has since released a follow up album and starred in the Cole Porter biopic "De-Lovely" alongside Lara Fabian, Kevin Kline, Ashley Judd and Alanis Morissette http://www.MarioFrangoulis.com
