Reviews Customer Reviews for Lara Fabian Made in 2000 Rating: Keep in mind this cd was released in 2000, so it has distinct "sounds" from that time period. Sounds very 90's in a way!
Nonetheless, her voice does do 'gymnastics' like the overly mean critics review above, (geez, amazon!) but not in a bad way. I feel she is singing perfectly for her voice range, not trying to sound like she tries to hit notes she shouldn't attempt, instead hitting them perfectly and with emotion. Broken Vow and The Dream Within are my favorites. (Josh Groban does a nice version on Broken Vow as well.)
Try going to the youtube website and looking up Broken Vow, and see just how powerful and gymnastic-ky her voice actually is.
3 stars only because this cd does sound very 90s, if I were giving a review 8 years ago, it would have been 4.
Customer Reviews for Lara Fabian Cd Possibly the BEST pop singer. Rating: My family has owned and listened to Lara for years yet remain always in complete awe of her near perfect vocal abilities. She is an amazing melding of Celine Dion & Mariah Carey, but unlike those two, she presents her vocal talents without pretense - pure music.
Lara Fabian is gifted in many languages and easily represents herself in French, Italian and Spanish (oh and English of course). I will likely never hear another who's so gifted vocally; who can better the power of Dion, has cleaner virtuosity than Mariah and yet can suddenly drop down into the most mesmerizing pianissimos. I would simply consider this voice to be akin to a concert pianist who can at will do whatever is wished musically.
If you've not heard her, you miss a superbe talent!
Editorial Reviews for Lara Fabian Audio Cd Amazon.com If you're familiar with Mariah Carey and Celine Dion, then you know the sound of Lara Fabian's self-titled English-language debut: 56 minutes of bland, predictable love songs, heavy on ballads, with plenty of vocal gymnastics. Already a French-language superstar, Fabian alternates between vulnerable softie ("Adagio," "You Are My Heart") and tough cookie ("I Am Who I Am," "Part of Me")--failing to prove she's either, but belting her heart out nonetheless. Lara Fabian is a good gift for a 13-year-old girl discovering the pain of unrequited love: there's no sexual content, and there are plenty of fairy-tale platitudes to go around. --Courtney Kemp
