Lara Fabian at Eurovision 1988

[Bellinzona1000]

I love Lara and Céline equally.

J'aime Lara et Céline également.

[spl0uf]

That woman butchered her name lol

[Th3GaMbLeR771]

i hate you : @ Lara is really amazing and great singeb...but Celine Dion is different thing... !! thumbs up if you agree ; ((

[alan30200]

We compare them because Lara imitates Celine's style, vocal technique, dresses... She was / are / will be a Celine wannabe. Her letter to Celine proves it.

[Forever1Charmed]

@alan30200 In her letter to Celine she writes her attitude to Celine. She says that Celine is very high level and she will never reach it and won't be as popular. So then she writes that she will always be Celine wannabe. And I think you are quite fool if you think Lara imitate Celine vocal technique. She has completely another kind of voice and she always sings as she wants. Lara uses classical prop to sing, Celine doesn't. So Lara's voice is much more powerful. The techniques are different.

[acrobate]

I have to areee that the song is really bad!!! lol I love her but damn ... she shoulded pick a better song then that lol Celine had the best song for sure that year... make lara singing that song'' ne partez pas sans moi ''and she woulded win that eurovision contest for sure!!!

[amajowanna]

what place was lara? but celine?

[StewNWT]

funny two Canadian singers figured so prominently into a European contest this year

[fellinian]

@StewNWT

Lara Fabian wasn't Canadian in that time.

[StewNWT]

@fellinian really? I had no idea, where did she move to Canada from?

[fellinian]

@StewNWT

She was born in Belgium daughter of a belgian father and an italian mother.

Shel lived in italy until she was 5, later came back in Belgium.

She moved to Canada when was about 20.

[jliscck]

Nellys composition was so unique, trendy cand catchy, plus a voice like Celine...definitely a winner song and performance. Nevertheless, 4th place is a good rank.

[MrLara2006]

Lara Fabian a legjobb!!!

[vasek382]

хватит сравнивать Лару и Селин, они просто разные и бое потрясающе поют!

[12345644389]

quien iba a decir que iva a nacer una estrella de la cancion y que cambio de imagen por dios , lara no se parace en nada a como era antes ahora esta hermoza antes tambien pero ahora mas , y su voz mas hermoza cada dia , grande lara ven a españa

[Francys1968]

I love listening to Celine Dion! but to recognize the voice 'of Lara Fabian is it necessary to make the TITANIC 2 with a theme of it?!? I am not saying that Celine was known for the song in the movie Titanic because she was already world famous! But it saddens me to compare one to another because each has a voice absolutely extraordinary!

[Francys1968]

Stop comparing Lara Fabian with Celine Dion! Both are amazing but Lara Fabian can reach notes most serious and acute than Celine Dion! Live, Lara has a record vocals and 1/2oitavas about 3 and a half, is considered a Lyric Soprano. In their performances, Lara can deliver high and low notes from a D # 3 to a G # 6, and then notes the Whistle register.

[iskander69]

Lara is a great singer, she has a bueautiful voice, but she sin't better that Celine, because Celine is the best.

[isis1174]

why still compared Lara with Celine she has a beautiful voice, and is one of the betters in the world, of course a prefer Celine she is my favorite singer but i most say that sometimes Lara is more powerful than Celine.

[brucinda01]

It's not fair to compare people and judge them. And, for the record, Celine is more successful and famous than Lara Fabian anyway.

[leeco99]

@brucinda01 because Celine moved to the US but Lara did not . If Celine was still lived in Canada, would she became famous and succesful

[brucinda01]

I love both of them equaly. They're both amazing talents.

[omblad00n]

LARA i luv ur voice.

[joannasilvery]

I think that the difference between them is that Lara puts a little bit more emotion in the songs she performs...

Anyway, I love both Celine and Lara, they are two of the most amazing singers in the world <3

[Eden8711]

Celine won because she had a better song, that's all. Lara's voice is more beautiful.

[heyhey33345]

I totally agree...I think she is waaaaaaaaay better than Celine

[Furienna]

Celine didn't have a better song than Lara.

[odessafile75]

Lara, je ta'dore

Ron sa Toronto

[chapynl]

yes she is bether here,

but right now Celine is far more bether than Lara!!

well i actually never heard somthing of Lara anymore.

will always love Celine`s voice!:)

[odessafile75]

Lara has a far more beautiful voice than Celine

[TheNatashka123]

Какая молоденькая она тут) Я бы не сразу ее узнала!)

Непонятно почему такую песню для Евровидения выбрала.... Она может лучше :)

[hnd133]

to me both Celine and lara are the same I love them both and i think they have the same stile I love Mariah more of course the old classy Mariah this is my opinion

[arguman2009]

sorry....Lara came 4th......in this competition and Celine....? Of course .......1st place!

I admit that Lara voice is beautiful but celine's voice just so angelic and sorry...I think Lara is just right under celine......

[neigekins]

Love Celine, but no one can compare with Lara. She is my all time favorite singer. I could listen to her for hours and very often do. She is not just beautiful, and talented, but she has an awesome voice.

[rexdanato]

OMG! What a booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooring song

O_o

Obviously, with Céline this song would be amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fontenayperi]

I would say that Celine's song is more a eurovision song. short, up beat tempo, easy to remember, and belted ending

[Furienna]

But did it make it a rightful winner? No way. I prefer Lara.

[jerjuant]

my girl celine whooped that ass!!! lara is still very good though.

[poucelina777]

Tout à fait d'accord avec djpjpj...

[djpjpj]

Cette chanson en 1984 est plus "sensible" que la chanson de C.Dion. J'aime ces deux xhanteuse mais Lara, est puissante, rythmé, juste. alors que Celine est "angelique" elle n'a pas d'effort a faire. C'est je pense la grande difference entre elle. L'une a beaucoups travaille et l'autre c'est innée.

[poucelina777]

Come ,on stop compare a horse with a dog !

Lara is a good singer...but celine is Amazing and spectacular !

sorry !

[weisengelbaum]

Come on, stop comparing a horse with a dog !

Celine is a good singer... but LARA AMAZING AND SPECTACULAR

[arguman2009]

what? do you mean don't compare an angel with a normal human being?

Oh....i got it ...Celine you are the angel and will always be.....You are the best!

[heyhey33345]

What? Do me a favor...watch Caruso and Je suis Malade from Lara Fabian.

Then you talk to me.

[luigimanzanares]

Tell that to the 3M people who went to see Celine in Las Vegas from 2003 to 2007. Celine won in this competition, Lara was fourth. Celine would still have won if she sang Croire, Lara's voice would not fit Ne Partez. it's a paradox, Lara sounds like Celine, but Celine doesn't sound like anybody else. Celine is Celine!

[Furienna]

I think the other way around. Celine wouldn't have fitted "Croire", but Lara could sure have pulled "Ne partez sans moi" off. But yeah, I think both of them got the right song.

[gosty111]

celine's perfomance was brighter i think.

but for me lara is 100 times better. I think her voice is more beautiful and powerful

[levonlevon1990]

Lara's and Celine's voices are alike but Lara's voice is stronger,intense and soulful... Celine is just a money machine in vegas but LARA IS LARA ;)

and it ds really matter who won ;)

[Furienna]

Why oh why didn't this win? I know Celine Dion is Celine Dion, but couldn't this at least have come 2nd place then?

[greeksexlover]

they quit as a band g to the oficial site of them sh*t happens:(

[fcanan423]

Quelle belle chanson, c etait l'une de mes chansons favorites avec celle de Celine Dion (ne partez pas sans moi)a l eurovision 1988 qui se tenait à dublin...it was for me one of the favorite song in eurovision 1988 with the song of Celine Dion ( ne partez pas sans moi)

[paula830]

Lara y Celine en eurovision el mismo año?Vaya dos ke salieron...

[jumankekkajuu]

No-comparison,Celine-rules!

[petrainternational]

nowadays only portugal and spain have the decency ti sing in their respective languages... it's a pitty even france is changing...

[Furienna]

The yugoslavian countries oftem still sing in their native languages too, and so do Israel and Turkey.

[riyadrio]

no one can be like Lara Fabian not in a million year .

Lara , good bless you

[Maara30]

Lara's voice is nice, but it can't be compared with Celine's... Celine always has sung with her heart.

Lara did it well at Eurovision 1988, but, the winner was.... CELINE DION

[luigimanzanares]

Love it!!!

[olvidame03]

let me settle this little squabble you guys are having, Celine is not the best singer in the world, never will be. She's great, but the only reason why she's more popular than Lara is because she sold out and went "AMERICAN". Lara is ten times better than Celine when it comes to range and power. Celine's got a voice for soft, melodic songs. They've both switched. Lara needs to be blasting out songs, but she sticks with these crappy slow songs lol

[synestheticboi]

neither is better. why do you people get in these stupid arguments, lara and celine both have incredible voices, you can't compare them just because one is you favourite. the fact is though, that ne partez pas sans moi was a better song at this esc

[olvidame03]

How funny, you tell us not to compare artists, and yet here you are comparing songs. Just because one is your favorite doesn't make it better. lol

[synestheticboi]

no, i didn't say one song was better than the other, i said that ne partez pas sans moi was better suited to esc that year. it's not a song comparison, both songs are equally valid.

[Dekred]

lara is a good singer, but celine dion was better in eurovision 1988, celine dion was de winner!!

[balder1981]

Lara is good. The song is bad

[chasecat]

This is amazing!!!!

I love Lara Fabian she is the best!!! Totally my fave singer ever!...

I know celine is great (shes my 2nd fave!) but Lara so should have won this!!!!

[rexdanato]

Celine is amazing!!!!

[ArmenDavtyan]

and Lara?

[issabelle115]

Sorry but this couldn't win with Celine... even if I like it :)

[larrylurcher]

what a wonderfully powerfull voice classic eurovision at it,s best.....

[VIaggioConTe]

voice like an angel....

[earlceline]

accept it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!celine is the the best

[stievo1978]

almost 20 years ago, celine and lara were battling it out in the eurovision songcontest and who has won back then......? yeah, celine dion of course, but nevertheless, no surprise that they both have become international stars

[MAnytta]

Celine is best...???

NO WAY...!!!

Lara is incredible,inside and out. Her talent, sensitivity and education blow my mind.

Her voice is pure, bright and clear, she sings

easily and comfortably.

She's definitely my favortite female singer.

Sorry for my english...

Russia loves you, Lara...)))

[gosty111]

agreeee!!!

[maik2227]

Que desastre, vaya birria de cancion, una cantante como esta cantando una cancion que no tiene alma, no dice nada. Lara es fantastica pero la cancion no, las canciones de Francia en Eurovision son penosas.

[Fagylalt86]

oh, that is so lovely...

[Angelbar1]

Good job she dyed her hair blonde.. brunette does not suit

[supernury]

madre!!!!!

[JorgeJRO]

I love this song, but I prefer Celine's.

[Milkiri]

I looooooooove Lara!!! but that time Celine was better I think...

[illianna]

I loooove Lara but I have to agree that Celine's song is much better

[CelineFanatic]

Same here. Lara is so amazing, but I still prefer Céline.

[ibelieveinyou222]

NO WAY! Lara's song would sound good at New York's Broadway, but Celine's song and performance was a CHAMPION'S GOLD. Celine deserved that award ALL THE WAY.

[daimn]

I also thought Celine had the catchier song, but I much prefer Lara's performance. It has more depth, subtlety and earthiness to it.

[CelineFan28]

As much as I love Lara, Celine totally earned it that year! sorry

[nicki121]

SHE SHOULD HAVE WON
