  • her performance is better than any of the original artist live performances. Lara's truly a belter.

  • She deserved to succeed in the United States. She was sincere.

  • I'm a mariah fan.. and this performance is beautiful.. great tribute to her. Lara did it well. I'm not going to compare.

  • really amazing... but nobody can beat mariah, but this really good tribute!

  • amazing!!

  • I wouldn't say she was better,her phrasing was off but she sure does put up a fight <3

  • she sang it better than Mariah, wow, amazing.

  • @XTINASDISCIPLE someone needs a better disguise lol oops #FAIL

  • @iheartwillandgrace LOLLL this bitch won't stop....

  • @zanoases hello primohomme/Bconsitt/Breniznit whichever troll you are

  • @zanoases oh so its you Breniznit, get a life, babe, goodbye.

  • she sings behind the beat... so wrong for vol's shuffling rhythm... and she sounds tired at the end. lolzzz

  • Mariah's version is better, no doubt about it.

    Lara is better when she sings other genre of songs. Let's not argue who is the better singer, Lara and Mariah are the best!!!

  • Anyway, she looks old even though she was only 24 back then (same with Mariah)

  • Good cover of this hard-to-sing song

    But doesn't touch Mariah's version

    Just proved one more singer who inspired and influenced by Mariah

  • very good. a breath of fresh air to hear another divas version of this song.that note at the end she killed it. she made it her own way

  • NEVER EVER try to compare an original artist who wrote/song to someone like lara who is trying, cant hit the notes, make shitty runs... and of course NEVER EVER TRY it when its LEGEND MARIAH CAREY... you people make laugh, lara just twice class

  • @zanaomusic whaaaaaat .. you are tone deaf, she hits higher in chest then Mariah did in the origonal.Your hearing aids need new batteries LOL

  • Mariah is Mariah and Lara is Lara but they have similar style. However Mariah doesn't sing the way she used to. Her voice lost a lot of its range and sounded hoarse. Lara's voice remains pure and divine during live concerts.

  • well now thats a cover that smashed the original. Too bad Lara didn't get this song on the first place.

  • @yahiie Considering Mariah wrote it.....

  • @Qwertyfng @iLLusion625 She should've given it to her instead of recording it lol

  • are you sure? was it a number one?nope.....

  • lara should have written it but a song like this reflects the heart and soul of the incomparable Mariah Carey.this is just a cover by lara for which she won't be remember in Mariah's case it's her first single,first number one and the song that won her her first Grammy award.There's a great difference.

  • @yahiie lara didn't get this song at the first place for the fact that Mariah wrote it... LOL fail.

  • Lara slays Mariah any time she's amazing i love her streisandsque vocals that's waht makes her so divine her technique is near perfection

  • @lc0309 hahahaha nobody sings mariah songs better then mariah and this embarresing performance shows just how shitty some person like "lara who" sounds, flat notes, no soul at all, no whistles! MARIAH SLAYS LARA

  • @lc0309 oh really? more like lara slays xinta hehe

  • @kelvinpyaeko and your point is?????

  • @lc0309 it's the truth, isn't it? oh yeah, my point is exposing the truth

  • I AM NOT GOING TO ARGUE WITH YOU ANY MORE! JUST WANNA SAY LARA IS THE BEST! NO ONE EVER COMES CLOSE!

  • @jinkailai STFU MARIAH SINGS CIRCLES AROUNS LARA "WHO", WHO SINGS MARIAH ONE OF HER IDOLS!

  • No one can do this song like mariah does. Its impossible to imitate it. Lara is a very good singer so she did a pretty good job. Still mariah rules it.

  • Definitely NOT the right song for her, but kudos for even doing half as well as most would on a purely vocal level. Mariah of course, OWNS this song and no one can do it better than her, but Lara put up a valiant effort.

  • Lara Rocks and i love her! mariah and Lara are tops in my book!

  • this is horrible she sounds whiny and has no control over the melismas..FAIL and this coming from a Lara fan as well

  • she is the vest!! please do not compare her to maria who has nothing but voice an range!! lara gives us not only the greatest voice but also deep pure emotions!

  • @jinkailai Mariah hasnt just Range, its her song nobody in the world will ever perform with more emotions then best of best of, thats Mariah.. sorry there isnt any emotions, its not her songs and she sounds really horrible! She cant hit the notes, horrible sorry... nobody can sing Mariah Songs as herself! Lara is noob compared

  • @dunyaOmusic

    Listen to lara's performances and please never compare her to anyone in this world!

    She can' hit the notes! that's just funny! the only thing I can do is to laugh :D

  • @jinkailai she sucks sorry where are the whistles? its like sing loving you of minnie and not do the whistles? sorry lara to big song for you, try to sing celine dion or such other crap singers...ahahaha mariahs numero uno

  • Mariah definitively got her. Her runs are better (Lara's voice is not very agile), her voice more soulful, more everything. But that was good. The best thing here was the incredible voice of her back up singer.

  • Those comments which i saw saying she's better than mariah looks very familiar. They are either a whitney or celine's stan. And of coz lara's fans themselves. She's good but NOT better than Mariah. Mariah own this song!!!

  • good (Y) but mariah is the best-

  • Io rispetto Lara Fabian è mia conterranea, ma le canzoni di Mariah le deve cantare solo Mariah ! I respect Lara, she's from my country, but only Mariah can sing her songs.

  • No passion...never like Mariah...But Technical Good

  • See it'c comments like "This is a brilliant surpassing and different version." listed in the description of this video that get so many of these cover singers stung on youtube by fans of the original divas. Just post the video and leave the editorializing to others.

  • ma vai vai...non ti permettere nemmeno...

  • I guess the issue here it's not who's the best.... It' s much more than classifying someone!!! It's just to show how great Lara is ... without comparing - and thks Gos she's different form MC- and of course, it's a tribute to MC, who for sure, is a Diva!!!

  • She sucks in europe everybody is mocking her.she made a duet with Jeveta steeel and she was just silly.

  • @darrin1701 You're totally wrong.

  • @lullabyali how could she did the high note better than mariah if she didnt even sing the high note?????

  • good...only thing is that she can't do a whistle...and at the end of the song...she struggles to have her breath...haha.unlike mimi..EFFORTLESS..:P

  • @MrEmc02 but MC isn't the same... watch her videos from 80's and now... you'll understand... e v e r y t h i n g changes... But of course she's still a DIVA and 4 ever will...

  • She did the high notes better than Mariah,but seemed out of her element when it came to the versus and chorus.This style just doesn't fit her,but to me she's a better singer than Mariah.

  • @lullabyali please, Mariah sets the standards and apparently pays the bills for these female singers in the world. If it weren't for Mariah's genius lara fabian wouldn't have been on television the moment this was recorded.

  • 3:14...AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

  • she tried....

    But Mariah is Over Her!

    Go go go Mariah!!!!

  • Untill now..Nobody can do justice to this song..written by Mariah and sung by Mariah only..Its totally hers.

  • yah ... whatever

    """mariah """

  • @juratuke lara fabian she is beautiful now :p

  • Yeah ok, mariah is the best, but she is extrmemely good, a celine dion soundalike!! impressive!

  • amazing

  • Wow this lady is a beast

    :D

  • so good, but mariah is the best

  • Woooow, like...wow. Im amazed you even said that. Okay i respect your opinion but DAMN no one can sing it better then Mariah carey o_o....My opinion.

  • someone noticed that she made a mistake in 0:46, when she should sing "somehow the one that I need, would find me eventually...

  • u right, mimi is the best female artist in the fucking world

  • this just shows how Mariah is the best vocalist period. only mimi can do mimi, even mimi can't do mimi sometimes lol

  • lara can sing and i like this cover from, not many ppl can do MIMI right, she is one of the very rarest one, the only one:P

  • she can sing whitney but not mariah .. it isn't on the same level

  • LOOOOL. i hope that there is someone who could sing whitney.

  • @diamonddonut sing whitney??? charice pempengco.. LOOOOL..

  • she sings better then mariah imho)) but this song is not for her voice.

  • she looks scary as hell!

  • she is good,

    but mariah still the best!

  • shes much more pretty now

  • yeaah!!! she looks older then

  • there are 2 types of people.

    the one who born verry pretty and as they getting older they are getting avrage.

    and there are people who born avrage and as they are getting older they are getting to be verry pretty.

    :)

  • Mariah does it better, but this was well done. A very worthy tribute to Mimi.

  • guys u just don't know Lara listen her live performances and we'll see who's better although mariah was incredible 1994's but how about know looks like a porn star with big boobs and no voice at all but lara oh her adagio live her love by grace ...LARA LARA LARA

  • You don't know what you're talking about.

    Mariah still got a voice.

    No it isn't in par with a 1991 Mariah.

    But some perfomances she still delivers even today. Some are bad too. Yes.

  • ok than watch mariah sing vision of love at BEt in 2005...even better than her sang it in the early 90's

  • where is the link?

  • Mariah sounds dark singing the verses in this song and I think that's what make her version better... She got the alto quality.. But Lara did a great job

  • Im a mariah fan, but I liked the way she did it. she has no soul, but its a nice version

  • i dont think it could of been said any better she does have a more sensual tone in the first verse though

  • Not bad at all! Not bad at all! I have to give it to her! I mean, she's kind of known to give every song a chance for her to REALLY stretch her vocals, and here, she's restrained... I like it, that's my point. Mariah's got no competition, but she should be proud.

  • mariah si the best ever

  • she's amazing!

  • she is a great singer but she cant touch mariah carey mariah is wayy better am sorry but its tru and this song iss her first hit and she sings it like wow but she did ok i guess!!

  • how many of us could hit any of these notes? Give her kudos for trying at least . Doesn't sound too bad, it's just not a "good song choice" for her as Simon would say

  • she's not screaming.

  • I have to say on Mariahs' defense, Lara has a beautiful voice GOD bless her, but t his song belongs to the voice of Mariah. I tihnk only Whitney Houston could do it justice. Everybody pray for Whitney guys. She's coming back! She's in the studio!

  • mariah sings this song like she's playing with it, so effortlessly

  • She is not singing, she is screaming!!!!

    Everything is on te voice, and nothing in the feelings with sensibility, anyway, it's horrible, lara fabian stops to sing now (i hope) and not mariah!!!

    Mariah 4ever!!!

  • you are definitely right dahling.

    lara knows too well she doesn't have range to sing this song. SHE RUINED IT!!! a trying hard bitch. her voice sucks. her looks is so repugnant. voice so abhorrent. style so exaggerated and mediocre.

    but i thin i have to give credits to her for daring to sing this song despite the fact that she knows she would just be humiliated because she sucks! she just shouts like a dying cat. sorry to tell but she is not impressive but depressive!

  • no hay que compararlas creo que lo hace muy bien mariah carey es mariah carey eso esta claro

  • o look its amy winehouse in her mid40s mixed with some one singing thorugh her nose

  • That last bit could of used some work.

  • fuckin sucks

  • Is she serious?

    Clearly, Mariah (having more soul), does it best.

    Theres something missing from this performance, cant really tell what it is...but I guess its just that it sounds like she rushed the song and her accent really stands out.

  • LOL

  • shes good but doesn't compare

  • infairness to her she did good on this song

  • WOW!!! SHE IS GOOD!

  • Mariah sings that song better, in this version is something missing, i dont know what.

  • what does she look like? oh dear. But Lara's a great singer so we shouldn't care about the make up and clothes

  • Poor Mariah. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

  • i love lara fabian.. she's great.. and as i said before to the other videos that i watched that compares mariah carey to other artist.. for the record.. Mariah is Mariah, Celine is celine and Whitney is Whitney! same with lara.. she's great and i love her..

  • Why does everyone feel the need to argue?

    Mariah, Celine, Whitney, Streisand... even if you don't like the songs they sing ALL have extraordinary voices, Period.

  • Cool, but Mriah just killed her in a motherfuckinf millisecond.

    Don't like her phrasing, her tone. It sound so "french girl trying to sing soul music".

    And just want to add Celine actually has very great low range, not as low as Mariah but still so much better than the usual sopranos!

  • Love 2:20-2:22, her backup sings even better here!

  • this song, and every song composed by her belongs ONLY to Her!!!! She's the best!

  • mariah is way much better!

  • Meglio MARIAH CAREY 100 volte!!! In assoluto! ... Lara è brava ma sembra ke strilli! ;(

  • she sounded like a barking dog at 2:58, she doesn't know how to acrobatic style, nice try, but the oreginal is the best ever

  • she actually pulled it off. Her accent is lil annoying but actually as good as mariah's!!

  • I'm sorry, but I liked it :D

  • In usually like Lara Fabian, but in this case I think this song is way out of her league. There is no feelings on this, shes like a machine, pure technique and just that. In the case of Carey, you can see the hapiness while singing this song even today. I really dont see that glorious feeling on her.

  • oh god!!! i'm a mariah fan, and I hate these kind of comments. i love Lara fabian too, she's not trying to copy Mariah she's just singing her song, because she likes it. God could you please stop arguing. Lara also writes her own songs and plays piano. So please can't we love both of them? they're two great vocalists

  • ugh give me a break

  • Lara screams at the end of this song.Her voice without soul.When she sings she thinks about her personality not about music and song.Indeed only Mariah could sing this song perfectly.

  • really good, but not good as mariah carey

  • she cant write her own songs so she fucks up other peoples songs

  • In fact, she does ! I don't even know why am I bothering answering people of this quality of yours...

  • she looks scary!!

  • amazing, still can't match Mariah's performance

  • she can´t whistle

  • "she can´t whistle" <-- She doesn't have to ! Humble people take the songs they feel deep and sing them from the heart. She is definitely not trying to copy Mariah (who can do that ?). Mariah definitely cannot sing like Lara either. Is it forbidden to love both of them ?

  • She can but she chose not do it cause it can damage the voice like Mariah,her voice is not as powerful as it used to be,but I still am her No.1 Fan!!!!!!!!!

  • this wasn't that good: she mixed up some of the lyrics, her accent is too thick, and what the HELL was she doing at 2:59-3:00? She sounded like she was sobbing. Also, she ran out of breath a lot towards the end. She has the range but she is not melismatic enough to sing this song.

  • What an annoying voice!!

    She haven't got any soul!!

  • THAT YOU............! x.

  • sucked sounds like an old lady

  • sucked sounds like an old lady on a night on tha booze and on a karoke machine

  • she's amazing...!!!.. but still i love the original...

  • one, she looked UGLY! second her version of this song is TERRIBLE! she over did it and yes her accent is HORRIBLE! cut it off Lara no one can sing MARIAH and shes not singing shes yelling

  • Lara Fabian just annoying the hell out of me. She should sing her own damn songs!

  • can mariah do that as how lara fabian did?

  • wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyy better

  • sweetie this is Mariah's song so she created whatever it is Lara thought she did, next...

    see that is the problem with you fans of these "karaoke divas" of other countries, you take you comments too far, if not for the real divas these women would have no music to sing

  • Lara is much better now and is far from being a karaoke diva. Listen to Broken Vow.

  • i think it was pretty decent rendition. there were some high parts that sounded similar to Mariah's own like in 2:28 and 2:37.

  • Yuck!

  • I don't like the way she sang it at all (especially because her point was to shout louder than Mariah), and her accent was terrible. Lara Fabian just butchered one of the best songs ever...

  • REALLY SHE SHOULD'NT HAVE

  • She is NO Celine! She is a poor man's Celine! And even though she's a good singer, why try Mariah! There is only ONE miss Carey! I like Lara, but her arrogance makes her think she's better than she really is thus why she tries these songs thinkning that she can not just do it justice, but i'm sure she thinks she's better! Fatal mistake!

  • You're retarded. I like all the women you've mentioned but it's quite obvious Lara has the best voice. Watch any video. And speaking of arrogance, compared to the other women mentioned, Lara can't compete. She covered this song in concert early in her career as a lot of artist's did. It wasn't meant to be an official version. Get over it.

  • You get over it! Clean out your ears! She has the best voice? Her wide intonations and sloppy transitions prove she is dire need of work. She strains! And the pitch on her power notes affrim her inablity to blend her chest, head and mix registers the way a REAL pro can (Celine). It's weir cuz I do LOVE lara, but I'm realistic! There's a reason she hasn't crossed over to superstar success! Come out of your delusion!

  • What are you talking about? Watch "Je suis malade" instead of just using vocal words to make your opinion seem interesting.

  • Just saw "Je Suis Malade"! No one can deny that Lara's EXTREMLY talented, but to become a successful artist or even one worth watching/hearing, u have to respect the music/art enough to know boundaries. "Too much" is VERY possible! Lara way OVERDOES it making it "off putting"! She's vulgar & deperate for attention as opposed to being desperate for love/affection (the way the song is expressing)! She longs to be worshipped as a singer, not so much HEARD as an artist no matter what she says!

  • She's a great interpreter of song. I think she was very passionate and I think besides Serge's original she does the best interpretation which he agrees. I think she is very professional and gracious in her interviews. And a great stage presence. I don't think she strains at all when she sings. As for crossing over, she didn't promote her first English album in the US, but it was still a multi-million seller. She just has a less radio-friendly style. I'm not a fan of her dance stuff though.

  • she has improved a lot since then

  • to be more precise, its at 2:20 haha, stupid back up singer, she cracked when trying to hit the high note

  • haha, the backup singer cracked at 2:18 haha, stupid back up singer! lousy...

  • Lara and Mariah are both great singers, this video of Lara is almost 15 years old, the diference is that Mariah (as much as I love her) is singing with a lower voice every day and Lara has actually get some much better, so if they both agree to sing this song again, Lara would do a great job and Mariah would probably relay on her back-up singers

  • that was brilliant.

  • It's good, but I prefer Mariah !

  • talented? yes.

    Mariah? no.

    Seemed rather stressful on her voice

  • This woman can't vocally match Whitney or Mariah.  She seems like a poor man's Celine. Nice try but you need to have soul to sing Vision of Love.

  • Mariah is my favourite singer of all time but Lara can outsing her any day. Watch "Je suis malade" or "Tout" and it's obvious. She can definately outsing Celine, but probably not Whitney. However, Lara writes her own music. And is more classically trained. She doesn't even do the same style as those other women.

  • Funny how you don't have any Mariah vids in your favorites if she is your favorite of all time. Celine can blow this chick away. Her material must not be that great since she isn't internationally known or has to cover material of legends.

  • Fool. I've been obsessed with MC since she first came out. She was my first tape, first CD, and I bought her singles. I spent 30 bucks to help get Touch My Body to #1. As for Celine blowing her away, you obviously have no ears. Or taste. New artists always covered pop songs. Especially French artists around this time period. She isn't well known because she's a Francophone legend. And her albums are spectacular. Quit hating just cuz she made an hommage to MC's song.
