This is a most interesting discussion - seems there is no shortage of opinions amongst this group!! Love your interactions with one another.
lapayin -
I bow to the genius that is Youtube. Somehow I had stumbled upon Star Academy 2 and Nolwynn Leroy and was looking at all of her clips. I was fascinated with her versatility: French bubble gum, ballads, French standards, most of all her operatic ability! This led to my first purchase of French Cd's!!
I was fascinated with the Star Academy format, notably the duets with both rival contestants and professional artists. It was while watching these duets that I discovered Lara, specifically "Le Difference" with Ann-Laure Sibon. Of course at the time I knew nothing about the song ,the singer, or the contestant. All I heard was the voice!! It was a while later that I discovered that she was the songwriter and the intent of the song. So I started watching Lara Fabian clips relentlessly and as they say - the rest is history!!!
For me, she is quite simply without equal. I can not yet decide what I am drawn to most - her voice, her songwriting genius, her stage presence, her humanity? As I hear more and more of her music I am utterly in awe of her talent!! My life has forever been changed.
Thanks to everyone for your kind welcome! This could be fun!!!

Very interesting story. Like so many other stories of people being blown away by Lara's talents and presence at first glance. I too like the Star Academy shows. Here is a link where you can find a lot of Lara videos. About half way down the page starting in 2001 you find a lot of Star Academy videos. forum.aceboard.net/38688-2677-15046-0-Retrouvez-toutes-videos.htmIt's Hezia's site. I believe she is from Switzerland. All the people on her site are awesome for sharing Lara's videos. Lara has the best fans. Did you know that Lara wrote a song for Nolwenn that was on her first album? It's called "Inevitablement".

Thanks so much lapayin for the link - just what I need, more vids to watch - just kidding!!. I'm sure you must know what I mean. This site is new to me so will be fun. Seems there is no end to Lara's fans and their willingness to share any and all of their experiences of her. I know that in my own little world I am certainly trying to do the same.
O.K. then. back to hockey. Go Ducks!!!
