---- "The most watched Caruso on the YouTube" (by member alexusa100)
Friends, Lara's Caruso just took back the No. 1 title as of 4/28/08, compared with the Caruso's by a wide range of vocalists around the world including: Luciano Pavarotti, Lucio Dalla, Celine Dion, Florent Pagny, Julio Iglesias, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Vitas, Mario Frangoulis, Russell Watson, Paul Potts, etc.
Lara's Caruso had been No. 1 before in or before September 2007, when Pavarotti's Caruso was in the second spot; at that time the numbers of viewing for Lara's and Pavarotti's Caruso were about 660,000 vs. 160,000.
But when Pavarotti passed away in September 2007, there was a big surge of viewers viewing most of Pavarotti's videos, and that surge propelled his Caruso to surpass Lara's Caruso in a couple of weeks.
When that surge slowly subsided, it took about seven months for Lara's Caruso to take back that No. 1 title. As of 4/28/08, the day of retaking the title, the numbers of viewing for Lara's and Pavarotti's Caruso were about 2,043,800 vs. 2,041,100; the gap is expected to widen as time goes by (even so, Pavarotti is still one of the top vocalists that I respect very, very much.)

INTRO: A true stage dynamo, Lara always leaves the viewer breatless with her gutso delivery and evocative gestures. Nobody moves like her !! Here she uses her talent as a dramatic actress to make the Italian classic "Caruso" come to life, and she does so in a way that rips the viewer's hearts in a million pieces but makes you thank the heavens you're alive to witness such beauty and authentic talent.
** "Caruso" is available as a B-side of the single "Love By Grace" (2001). It's a live version from this very concert.
** The DVD of this concert special ("From Lara With Love") has never been in the general commerce, but it can be found if lucky through some fans sites or ebay.

CARUSO (~English translation~)
Here, where the sea shines
and the wind howls,
on the old terrace
beside the gulf of Sorrento,
a man embraces a girl
after the tears,
then clears his throat
and continues the song:
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know;
it is a chain by now
that heats the blood inside the veins, you know...
He saw the lights out on the sea,
thought of the nights there in America,
but they were only the fishermen's lamps
and the white wash astern.
He felt the pain in the music
and stood up from the piano,
but when he saw the moon
emerging from a cloud,
death also seemed sweeter to him.
He looked the girl in the eyes,
those eyes as green as the sea.
Then suddenly a tear fell
and he believed he was drowning.
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know,
it is a chain by now
that heats the blood inside the vein you know...
The power of opera,
where every drama is a hoax;
with a little make-up and with mime
you can become someone else.
But two eyes that look at you,
so close and real,
make you forget the words,
confuse your thoughts,
so everything becomes small,
also the nights there in America.
You turn and see your life
through the white wash astern.
But, yes, it is life that ends
and he did not think much about it
on the contrary, he already felt happy
and continued his song:
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know,
it is a chain by now
that heats the blood inside the veins, you know...

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)

INTRO: A true stage dynamo, lyric soprano Lara always leaves the viewer breatless with her gutso delivery and matching gestures. Nobody moves like her !! Here she performs a breathtaking acoustic version of the poetic Adagio in Holland 2000.
About Adagio:
"Adagio" the classical piece was discovered and reconstructed by Remo Giazotto in 1945 from a fragment by composer Albinoni. But Giazotto never took credit for it. It has since been adapted in song by a few artists. For her 2000 English debut, Lara Fabian, with her producers Rick Allison and Dave Pickell, decided to adapt it in a pop ballad arrangement. They imagined new lyrics for this song; depicting a passionate and heart wrenching story of love that survives through the ages, and once more this old and magnificent piece of music was brought back to life.
BIO: Italian-Belgian pop singer Lara Fabian has always been about the voice. As a child, she was classically trained, and by 18 she had flown to Quebec to pursue a career as a solo artist. There she released 3 successful albums, but soon the territory proved to be small for Lara's ambition and talent. In 1996 she launched her career in France with album Pure which sold 2million, and in 1999 her international career took off with her English debut and dance hit "I Will Love Again". Since then, Lara has released more albums and DVDs and collaborated with Josh Groban, David Foster and Walter Afanasieff. Rush to check out her albums, you'll never go back.

INTRO: A true stage dynamo, lyric soprano Lara always leaves the viewer breatless with her gutso delivery and evocative gestures. Nobody moves like her!! Here she sings the string-drenched heartbreak ballad "Broken Vow" which she wrote with Walter Afanasieff, and that has since been covered by Josh Groban and the group G4. A moment to savour.

BROKEN VOW (Lara Fabian/Walter Afanasieff)
Tell me her name
I want to know
The way she looks
And where you go
I need to see her face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end
Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own
[Chorus:]
I'll let you go
I'll let you fly
Why do I keep asking why
I'll let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow
Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch
That one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time
[Chorus]
I close my eyes
And dream of you and I
And then I realize
There's more to life than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes
I'd give away my soul
To hold you once again
And never let this promise end
[Chorus]

A true stage dynamo, lyric soprano Lara always leaves the viewer breatless with her gutso
A true stage dynamo, lyric soprano Lara always leaves the viewer breatless with her gutso delivery and matching gestures. She's beauty turned into a singer! For this song it's fascinating to see how she focuses and channels the tortured character of the Phantom of the Opera and reemerges completely changed, right before our eyes, as her tone gets more powerful, threatening and darker than ever before.
INTRO TEXT: "I once had the great fortune of witnessing the Phantom of the Opera live on a stage, and the Phantom that night impressed me so much, and moved me so much, that when I drove back home I had the feeling he was still there with me...And that night he made the most incredible promise to me : He said...He said that he'd come back to see me each and everytime I would call on him..And tonight, it is not for me that he has kept his promise and that he's back...It is for YOU"
