A number of interesting news items, in a week that looked like it would have none; we'll give the items numbers for clarity.
1) After much discussion about how “The Voice – la plus belle voix” would not return until they could hold a proper, audience-filled, star-studded show as befits their position as the lead program on TF1…the channel caved in to reality. As noted in the video presentation at
www.facebook.com/the.voice.tf1/videos/897090604102667/
it will return June 6th for an “explosive, historic” semi-final, which “will not resemble any other broadcast of The Voice”.
That’s for sure. This is the up-dated cover photo for the program:
www.facebook.com/the.voice.tf1/photos/a.354292147943668/3217326174973570/?type=3&theater
and then there is one of Lara and her team,
www.facebook.com/larafabiantonautre/photos/rpp.166959643357708/2918793101507668/?type=3&theater
How will this work? Well, the semi final will take place on June 6th but without a public audience to comply with security measures. Lara will be present only in video conferencing since she is currently confined in Quebec. ((Though it might not have been their intention, the ‘ghostly’ Lara behind her team in the picture above could be thought of as her being present only remotely…). The public will be able to vote and it alone will choose who will make it to the finals.
All of this makes sense, assuming all of the semi-finalists are already in France and not confined elsewhere. They really couldn’t wait until September, interest in it would have waned even more than it probably already has. But this is also a warming against making such definitive statements about the necessary “program quality” as the channel did…
2) Lara also announced the official release of ‘Papillon (s)”,with the following statement:
----------------------------
I am pleased to announce that the re-release of "Papillon (s)" will take place on June 5th...
You know how much I love this title, "Par Amour", which evokes the resilience and strength in which we are able to tap the resources needed to heal what hurts... this trouble time we go through requires more than ever this essential need to connect to what we have the most true and strong in us... love...
And to accompany this release, I offer you a live version of the title to discover on my YouTube channel...
I kiss you... take care... Love
The new live video for Par amour” she referred to can indeed be found on her youtube channel, at:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aPARDwf2ug
It’s beautifully done, in piano-voice. You may remember there was also an official video of the song, at (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjrTd8VeP64).
She then provided this video about the song:
www.facebook.com/larafabianofficial/videos/243183283447944/
which has the following:
-----------------------------------------------
“Par amour” is a song about resilience. "Par amour" is the fruit of a moment in my life where an ordeal was to turn into something positive. And when faced with this last test, I wondered how I could turn the prism onto the positive side in the Light. And the only way, which I've been in touch with for a long time, is resilience. I understood that in resilience, there is the resurrection of a better moment.
"Par amour”, it tells the story of a very serious misadventure. We all live it, whatever the nature of this misadventure. And of the courage of one of the two, who decides to be stronger than the other, then resilience, then healing. And who takes this relationship in hand, and who pushes it beyond this drama, beyond this misadventure, using what I call the 5th fundamental element, love. “Par amour” simply tells this story, with a lot of simplicity in the end, and with a lot of humility because I believe that in this song, the person I am narrating, the person I embody, it can to be me but it can be any person, who decides to give reason to a story of love or a story of friendship or to what can link two beings, beyond all the difficulties that a life can offer us.

3) For the world day against homophobia and transphobia, Lara provided one of her pictures with Eva Longoria (this one actually in 3D),

for which she wrote, “On this world day against homophobia and transphobia, to fight differences and discrimination, I share this image to you with my beautiful @evalongoria...
" The difference, but what difference? "

4) Lara was interviewed in ‘7 Jours” and it provides a wonderful glimpse of her daily life and her current state of mind – as well as what might be in her future. (https://www.facebook.com/larafabianphq/photos/rpp.353946178085395/2113968722083123/?type=3&theater); here’s the translation (thanks to the Lara Fabian – PHQ site for the scans):
--------------------------------------------
Lara Fabian: I Want to Do Things Differently
Faced with the pandemic, Lara Fabian: “It is important to look again at my priorities”
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Lara Fabian remains confined in her house with her daughter, Lou, and her husband, Gabriel. The period is conducive to reflection for this artist so passionate for her profession. To have the chance to ask and taste the daily life with her family makes her conscious of this equilibrium to install in her life. A reflection which leads to a new vision and which, obviously, will lead to another modus operandi in her existence.
Lara, by force of circumstances, the 50 World Tour has been put on pause. Have you planned to put the shows back on your agenda?
LF: Yes, because given the circumstances, we could not keep our commitments. Tens of thousands of tickets had been sold around the world. We are working to reposition the dates, which is never easy because of the teams and the availability of the rooms. It is moreover the second time that we move these dates. We put everything back in September and December 2020, but we still don't know how the deconfinement will take place.
You put on line a video which renders homage to the health care personnel in this period of pandemic. Recount for us the genesis of this project.
LF: The project was born the evening when my daughter returned from school and announced that we were entering into confinement. It is in these terms that she made to me the announcement of it: “You know mother, from tomorrow, we will not go any longer to school. All is closed…” It was the 11th of March. Rung by what she had just told me, I turned on the TV to see a clip that seemed to me like a ray of hope. We saw confined Italians, and all these people at their window at 1800 to sing the national anthem. My legs got weak. I sat down on the armchair and I began to cry like a child. My daughter was on my left, my husband on my right. They held me in their arms. I was o.k., but I was upset, touched by the fact that humanity could be capable of such resilience despite the fact that we deprive it of a fundamental freedom for the good of the community. It was the momentum that made me write 'Nos Coeurs a la Fenetre'.
Given your Italian origins, did this event certainly have an even deeper resonance?
LF: Yes, my mother was Italian, my husband is also. Many of my family live down there. This news has had a profound impact on me because of my origins. I co-wrote and co-composed the song with Elodie Hesme and Moh Denebi. Firstly, I wrote the song in Italian. Finally, in two hours, we have made a song in four languages. The same evening, my daughter and my husband went to the microphone and we sang the chorus together. Quite humbly, I wanted to make my contribution. I took up the telephone and I called all my relationships. All the profits will go to the organizations of four countries which are those of my heart: Belgium, Italy, Quebec and France. I was born in Belgium of an Italian mother. I arrived in Quebec at the age of 19 and I lived in France afterwards.
When the confinement occurred, were you already in Quebec with your family?
LF: Yes, but I was within 24 hours of leaving for Europe for my tour. I was to leave the 12th for the Ukraine and it would have been impossible to return. I have a lot of empathy for those who cannot be with their family. Some people died without being able to make their goodbyes. There will be a terrible societal post-trauma!
Your father is safe in Belgium?
LF: Yes, he goes well. He is very wise and very disciplined. I am very happy about it. There is always someone who comes around, who brings his shopping. We speak regularly. It is not in my nature to nourish fear and worry. I prefer hope and courage. This stage of life is a strange badly wrapped gift.
How does this event give rise to reflections? How does it transform your vision of life?
LF: I’ve had a lot of responsibility for my existence. I had hardly been with my family for the past few years. It allows me to be with them 24 hours a day, and I live these moments with a lot of gratitude. Strangely, I am very grateful for this forced stoppage. It makes me understand the importance of reviewing my priorities. I have always been very family oriented, I have always put my family first, but being with them every day is a great gift.
Going to meet people means that you have to leave your family. It's your job, your life ...
LF: Yes, but perhaps I can make choices. In the last years, I’ve always led three things at the same time. The recording of a program like La Voix then The Voice, the release of an album and a world tour. These are no longer the choices to which my heart will go in the future. I will have to learn to say no if I want to privilege my family. Lou lived in the acceptance that mom was there five days a month. It's not much ... I will have to choose to do things differently ... I want to do things at a different pace and in a way that continues to keep me peaceful and happy.
This reflection is entirely in line with your fifties: you are repositioning yourself for the rest of things ...
LF: This alignment of planets certainly suggests doing things differently. This forced stop brings back the feeling of emptiness, sometimes worrying, sometimes nourishing. It is an extraordinary trigger for thinking about the fact that we can live differently. We don't always have to run after our tail and no longer know how we call each other at the end of the day because we have worked 18 hours and have to start again the next day. Many of us spend our lives working, looking after our children. We have the opportunity to ask ourselves and reflect. Our life was ennobled only by the fact that we were exhausted from working. What if we became noble thanks to the faculty we have of participating in our lives?
Isn't this the perfect time to confirm what is really precious to us?
LF: We are running out of time to ask ourselves this question. It is more than ever the moment to ask questions. Let us not feed the wolf of fear, but that of creativity, courage and hope.
How do you do that, in your opinion?
LF: You have to count your blessings. When you have a roof and are able to provide the basics - not to be hungry, cold or alone - you have to count your blessings.
How do the days unwind with your family?
LF: We are super good together. We cook together, we set the table together, we clear it up together, we take out the trash together, we go out together to go shopping. One of us does the grocery shopping while the other two wait. We haven’t taken the car out for weeks. We discuss dreams for what we want to achieve. We prepare dishes that we have never cooked. We watch movies. My daughter is in school in the morning through remote schooling. For my part, I work my instrument as there has been a long time that I had not had a chance to work it. I always sang, but there is a difference between doing one's 40 minutes of vocalizations and doing two to three hours of work on one’s voice as an instrumentalist. I have time to do it.
It is marvelous to have the time for oneself!
LF: Yes, especially when you realize that you spend 20 to 30 years working and that afterwards, you risk spending the next 20 to 30 years recovering. Some get sick from working too much. I am not just talking about myself, I am talking about the craftsman who gets up at 4 am to make his bread, the nurse who works at night, the carpenter who has to deliver his kitchens. I do not claim that we should live a life of idleness, but it is a call to find a better balance. In my life, there was none.
Is it difficult for Lou to not see her friends, to not have a social life?
LF: She is super resilient. We do so many beautiful things together that in the evening, she tells me that she has not seen the day go by. She is not bored.
And your lover?
LF: He is an engineer, thus he builds. In his workshop, he is building things that we should see soon ...(laughs)
Confinement is sometimes difficult for the couple?
LF: Honestly, no. I must admit that I am very lucky. I married someone whose gentleness, delicacy and presence are spectacular. My daughter also has all these qualities. Our trio in containment time is really a beautiful story.
A year later, how does the mourning for your mother settle in you?
LF: It is as if this obligatory break had finally placed me in the face of mourning. Honestly, I’ve passed some very sad days…But it was necessary: it had to come out. Once again, this strange badly wrapped gift gave me the power to experience my grief other than between two airplanes.
In closing, Lara, will the time you have allow you to give birth to new projects?
LF: Yes. During the first 10 days, I wrote a whole musical project. I don't know where it came from ... I designed something, which is not an album. It's a special, different project that I've wanted to do for a long time. I used my voice as an instrument. I tampered with it. These are 12 musical phases which are the product of my reflections. It may take shape soon…
Nos Coeurs a la Fenetre!
Veronique Cloutier, Veronic DiCaire, Guylaine Tremblay, Charles Lafortune, Stephane Rousseau, Eva Longoria, Franck Dubosc and many artists participated in this new song of Lara, 'Nos Coeurs a la fenetre'. In Quebec, the profits of this piece that could be procured on all the musical platforms, will be paid to Centraide. Furthermore, the artist imagined a video clip, moving and sincere, to illustrate this unique song. For that, she solicited her fans via her social networks so that they can send videos of their daily applause to the hospital staff. The star received nearly 1000 videos in 48 hours. Some of these videos have been highlighted in the clip in order to pay tribute to the daily heroes. One can follow Lara on Instagram and on her site at larafabian.ca.

------------------------------------
5) Lara was featured in the promo for another TF1 program, “50’ Inside”, for which she did a promo saying “C’est le fete!” [It’s the party!], seen at
www.facebook.com/larafabiancoeurdelumiere/videos/2371680669601481/
The program went off as expected; here’s a description of it (https://www.nouveautes-tele.com/135946-50-mn-inside-le-16-mai-2020-les-mysteres-de-lamour-deconfines-tournent-video.html): “Nikos Aliagas is back on set for “50 mins inside” on Saturday May 16, 2020 at 5:50 p.m. His guest is Anggun juror of “Mask Singer”, he welcomes her from the terrace of the Raphael hotel. She returns to the filming in Thailand of the thunderbolt fiction in Bangkok just before confinement. 50mn inside also takes us to the resumption of the filming of the Mysteries of Love which is the 1st TV series to resume filming. The mysteries of Love season 23 will arrive in early June on TMC.
As noted at (https://www.jeanmarcmorandini.com/article-425101-audiences-avant-20h-malgre-le-retour-en-inedit-50-mn-inside-sur-tf1-toujours-battu-par-nagui-sur-france-2-et-par-le-19-20-de-france-3.html) it finished third in its time slot.
For the interesting photo(s) of the week, we’ll repeat one from above with Eva Longoria, this time from Lara’s Instagram site
and then, a beguiling picture from Lara Fabian – PHQ:
www.facebook.com/larafabianphq/photos/rpp.353946178085395/2117292971750698/?type=3&theater
So Lara will not have to go to France to finish out “The Voice”, and from her comments in the article above, she may think seriously about whether to go to France again for another season if she’s asked. We’ll see. But she’ll still have to spend time in the next few weeks getting her three contestants ready, and this will likely have to be done remotely. There also might be a bit more promotion of the new release of Papillon (s). Meanwhile, here’s hoping she’s staying safe…and the same goes for all of you.

1) After much discussion about how “The Voice – la plus belle voix” would not return until they could hold a proper, audience-filled, star-studded show as befits their position as the lead program on TF1…the channel caved in to reality. As noted in the video presentation at
www.facebook.com/the.voice.tf1/videos/897090604102667/
it will return June 6th for an “explosive, historic” semi-final, which “will not resemble any other broadcast of The Voice”.
That’s for sure. This is the up-dated cover photo for the program:
www.facebook.com/the.voice.tf1/photos/a.354292147943668/3217326174973570/?type=3&theater
and then there is one of Lara and her team,
www.facebook.com/larafabiantonautre/photos/rpp.166959643357708/2918793101507668/?type=3&theater
How will this work? Well, the semi final will take place on June 6th but without a public audience to comply with security measures. Lara will be present only in video conferencing since she is currently confined in Quebec. ((Though it might not have been their intention, the ‘ghostly’ Lara behind her team in the picture above could be thought of as her being present only remotely…). The public will be able to vote and it alone will choose who will make it to the finals.
All of this makes sense, assuming all of the semi-finalists are already in France and not confined elsewhere. They really couldn’t wait until September, interest in it would have waned even more than it probably already has. But this is also a warming against making such definitive statements about the necessary “program quality” as the channel did…
2) Lara also announced the official release of ‘Papillon (s)”,with the following statement:

which has the following:

“Par amour” is a song about resilience. "Par amour" is the fruit of a moment in my life where an ordeal was to turn into something positive. And when faced with this last test, I wondered how I could turn the prism onto the positive side in the Light. And the only way, which I've been in touch with for a long time, is resilience. I understood that in resilience, there is the resurrection of a better moment.
"Par amour”, it tells the story of a very serious misadventure. We all live it, whatever the nature of this misadventure.

I took up the telephone and I called all my relationships. All the profits will go to the organizations of four countries which are those of my heart: Belgium, Italy, Quebec and France. I was born in Belgium of an Italian mother. I arrived in Quebec at the age of 19 and I lived in France afterwards.
When the confinement occurred, were you already in Quebec with your family?
LF: Yes, but I was within 24 hours of leaving for Europe for my tour. I was to leave the 12th for the Ukraine and it would have been impossible to return. I have a lot of empathy for those who cannot be with their family. Some people died without being able to make their goodbyes. There will be a terrible societal post-trauma!
Your father is safe in Belgium?

What if we became noble thanks to the faculty we have of participating in our lives?
Isn't this the perfect time to confirm what is really precious to us?
LF: We are running out of time to ask ourselves this question. It is more than ever the moment to ask questions. Let us not feed the wolf of fear, but that of creativity, courage and hope.
How do you do that, in your opinion?

5) Lara was featured in the promo for another TF1 program, “50’ Inside”, for which she did a promo saying “C’est le fete!” [It’s the party!], seen at

The program went off as expected; here’s a description of it (https://www.nouveautes-tele.com/135946-50-mn-inside-le-16-mai-2020-les-mysteres-de-lamour-deconfines-tournent-video.html): “Nikos Aliagas is back on set for “50 mins inside” on Saturday May 16, 2020 at 5:50 p.m. His guest is Anggun juror of “Mask Singer”, he welcomes her from the terrace of the Raphael hotel. She returns to the filming in Thailand of the thunderbolt fiction in Bangkok just before confinement. 50mn inside also takes us to the resumption of the filming of the Mysteries of Love which is the 1st TV series to resume filming. The mysteries of Love season 23 will arrive in early June on TMC.
As noted at (https://www.jeanmarcmorandini.com/article-425101-audiences-avant-20h-malgre-le-retour-en-inedit-50-mn-inside-sur-tf1-toujours-battu-par-nagui-sur-france-2-et-par-le-19-20-de-france-3.html) it finished third in its time slot.
For the interesting photo(s) of the week, we’ll repeat one from above with Eva Longoria, this time from Lara’s Instagram site

and then, a beguiling picture from Lara Fabian – PHQ:

So Lara will not have to go to France to finish out “The Voice”, and from her comments in the article above, she may think seriously about whether to go to France again for another season if she’s asked. We’ll see. But she’ll still have to spend time in the next few weeks getting her three contestants ready, and this will likely have to be done remotely. There also might be a bit more promotion of the new release of Papillon (s). Meanwhile, here’s hoping she’s staying safe…and the same goes for all of you.
