Broken Vow

[lapayin]

George Perris has a new album “Picture This”. On this album he recorded Broken Vow. George is Greek and was introduced by Mario Frangoulis. Lara wrote a song for him (Un Souhait) and sang a duet with him (Ma Solitude) for his album “Un Souhait”.

Broken Vow performed with the Boston Pops

There was also: Angels Pass Away - Sumi Jo CD “La Luce” 2012 South Korea but I think that was written for Sumi Jo. Now that Lara has recorded it does that make it a cover?

I’ve found 37 covers of Lara’s songs that have been recorded on other’s CDs.

Wow, thanks for the list Paula. If you've listened to these, are they as good as Lara's versions?

[lapayin]

No one sings them as good as Lara. LOL

The Adagio By Il Divo is excellent. I like the Broken Vow by George Perris. His voice is not quite as good as Josh Groban but he sings it with a lot more passion.

The Broken Vow by Harrison Craig is fun to watch the reaction of the judges from "The Voice". His album version is so so.

The Adagio by Abraham Mateo is great since he was only 12 when he recorded it. The ending is huge.

Not many Je T'aimes recorded but there are a few singers who performed it live such as Sofia Essaidi (in a Lara Medley) www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUHntexxM3U and Polina Gagarina (from Russia) who performs Je T’aime often. She also performs Adagio and does both quite well. I believe she includes them in her concerts.

Here are a few other popular singers (in their countries) performing Lara live. I like Zlara Ognevich’s Adagio a lot, she has a great voice:

Zlata Ognevich - Adagio Ukraine

Zara Mgoyan - Adagio Armenia

Regine Velasquez - Broken Vow Philippines

It seems to me that Adagio and Broken Vow are the most covered Lara songs. If you look it up on YouTube you will see Lara’s songs are popular with contestants performing on “The Voice” in different countries.

Jackie Evancho has a new album coming out in September “Awakening” and one of the songs on it is Je T'aime by Rick and Lara.

There is also a nice Chinese version of "Love by Grace" somewhere coz I heard it on my mom's music player, it was recorded by my cousin in the Philippines. unfortunately, i'm not sure where to find it.

I like The Canadian Tenors' version of "Adagio", it's one of the reasons that made me buy their album :-)
