Work and the holiday dominated Lara's week, the last full week in 2023 - and work appeared to lead the way.
Lara returned to her job on The Voice Kids this past week – hence she was in France – with a post on her FB and Instagram pages of a reel
www.facebook.com/reel/879098910349197
and the caption, “I lead you with me into the studio” played to her song “Love By Grace”. [Again an interesting choice, since she never sings it].
She also posted the program’s promo picture of the different judges, at
www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=939567670860860&set=a.259330805551220
with the caption, “Another magical day❤️The Voice: the most beautiful voice @slimane Patrick Fiori Claudio Capéo ITV Studios France Eloise Delhoume”. [Note Lara is now shown in the seat next to Patrick Fiori, although she is leaning away from him… ].
The Lara Fabian Family FB site had this picture of Lara
www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=323206183925322&set=a.119466624299280
with the comment, “Our Lara, filming the battles at “THE VOICE KIDS”with Sophie Delmas, such a caring coach with the kids. ✌🏼"
An additional comment on that site read ““The voice kids”, end of filming of the battles. See you in 2024, with this new season which looks simply incredible! ❤️
These posts were made two days before Christmas, and while it certainly is possible for her to return to Quebec for the Christmas holiday, it would make for a rushed experience.
Then there was news concerning the Dream Team. This morning, Lara provided a link to the TF1 site that showed the following picture, and also included it on her Instagram site:
www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=900174084809911&set=a.807561434071177
with the accompanying information:
----------------------------
6 French artists and their teams, made up of young singers, will compete in an extraordinary show. ✨
Matt Pokora, Jenifer, Camille Lellouche, Lara Fabian, Claudio Capéo and Black M are going all out to make their #DreamTeamTF1 shine!
🏆 𝘿𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙈 𝙏𝙀𝘼𝙈 : 𝙇𝘼 𝙍𝙀𝙇𝙀̀𝙑𝙀 𝘿𝙀𝙎 𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙍𝙎
✨ Presented by Hélène Mannarino
📆 From Friday 19/01
📍 On TF1 and TF1+
--------------------------
Thus, as Lara noted, “The best is yet to come ... from January 19 ❤️#DreamTeam
There was also an article concerning the show at (https://www.mariefrance.fr/tele/dream-team-tf1-nouvelle-emission-lara-fabian-stars-chanson-saffrontent-898362.html). As it noted, the program which “consists of pitting children aged 8 to 14 against each other in six different teams who share the same musical universe, with performances evaluated by a panel of professionals and the public” has much in common with The Voice Kids (including Lara as a coach), and is on the same channel. They also comment, “As we could see in the trailer for the program, Lara Fabian explained to the young candidates what she expected of them. ‘The only thing that matters is to sing with all our being.’ Interesting that Lara is now being emphasized in all these articles in France about the upcoming shows…
While engaged in this filming for the The Voice Kids, Lara posted a message for an Italian artist, as discussed in an article at (https://iletaitunepub.fr/2023/12/22/302030/actualites-people/lara-fabian-sadresse-a-un-artiste-dans-un-italien-parfait-ti-auguro-un-buon-compleanno/):
------------------------
Lara Fabian addresses an artist, in perfect Italian: “Ti auguro un buon compleanno!"
Currently filming in the famous red armchairs, Lara Fabian wanted to send a message to one of her Italian counterparts.
Born in 1970 in the Brussels region, the singer lived the first years of her life in Italy, in Catania. Moreover, Lara Fabian owes her first name to this origin, on her mother's side. Subsequently, the beauty took dancing, singing and music lessons. She was able to prove herself in the 1990s in Canada, with her sidekick Rick Allison. Recognized in France and abroad, the beauty is now part of the jury for The Voice Kids. Just like Slimane, Patrick Fiori or even Claudio Capéo. However, this December 21, she chose to wish a happy birthday to an Italian singer, who also coaches young talents. We will explain everything to you!
Lara Fabian seems perfectly bilingual…
The fact of having lived at the foot of Etna had a lasting impact on the singer. Also, we guess that her mother must have passed on the Dante language to her. Because, this Thursday, December 21, the beauty took out her smartphone to film herself, sitting in her red armchair. Without blinking, and without an accent betraying her, Lara Fabian began to speak in impeccable Italian.
“Clementino Caro, seduta anch'io sulla mensola di The Voice Kids in France, ti auguro un buon compleanno!”, which could be translated as “Clementino, sitting like you on the set of The Voice Kids, in France, I wish you a happy birthday!”
To close this beautiful message, the artist sent a kiss with her hand, towards the camera. Let us specify that Clementino is a rapper from Naples. For his part, he sits in the red armchairs of the Italian version of The Voice Kids. Remember that at the moment, Lara Fabian is already discovering the young talents of TF1 reality show. Even if the broadcast will take place later, Slimane, Claudio Capéo and the others must audition and record the show. We will have to wait some time before seeing the images on the air.
The singer's private life
In her youth, Lara Fabian had a beautiful romance with Rick Allison. From 1998, however, she fell in love with Patrick Fiori. But their relationship ended on the evening of December 31, 1999. From 2003 to 2006, we could see the star on the arm of a songwriter, namely Jean-Félix Lalanne. Subsequently, during her love affair with director Gérard Pullicino, in 2007, she gave birth to a daughter, named Lou. But their breakup occurred in 2012. For 10 years, she has shared the life of a magician from Sicily, Gabriel di Giorgio .

The article included a picture of her ‘kiss’, at
iletaitunepub.fr/wp/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Lara-Fabian-salue-Clementino.png
while the actual video can be found at
www.facebook.com/reel/699413015613672
All this work-related activity might seem independent of the Christmas holiday but Lara’s activities also included a number of Christmas posts and events. The most ‘festive’ of her posts was on Christmas Day, an Instagram story reel of her ‘bopping’ in front of a Christmas tree with ‘Frosty the Snowman’ playing in the background:
www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087078295806
www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3eqGkYnSUc
Whether completely purposeful or not, the lyrics being played are:
------------------
There must have been some magic in
That old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
---------------------
And she was sort of dancing around, in place…
As for holiday events, one was reported by the Lara Fabian Family FB site: “She made a quick call to the (charity) program “Viva for Life” at RTBF.be refusing to talk about ‘news’ since she wanted to shine a light on children in poverty. The full interview can be found at
www.facebook.com/reel/1396480387617617
The host said that she turned to Lara because it was known that Lara supported the cause of children who do not have anything to eat, or clothes to wear, or a heated house. Lara said that at Christmas time in particular it was unacceptable that children should be in such a condition, and that even a small present could warm the heart of a child. She said I ask you not as an artist but as a mother to do what we can do, to show the Belgian benevolence of empathy. The host also noted that Lara had many new projects coming for the year 2024, and Lara indicated that yes, there was new music coming and lots of beautiful things, but that she was very privileged, and that’s why she was coming to help mobilize; that life can be sometimes very generous but also sometimes cruel, and this is the time to remember that we should feel gratitude for what we have.
Lara also appeared on the Star Academy show on TF1 in which she wished all her students a Merry Christmas:
www.facebook.com/reel/754803546544196
She recommended to the students that this was an absolutely incredible Christmas magic experience, an extraordinary adventure, and that they should enjoy it, ‘have an absolute blast’.
Finally, she included a promotion for her ‘life guru’, Issâ Padovani 💕. She wrote, “New Year's Eve is a unique moment for some, more complicated for others, New Year's Eve is a moment of sharing and everyone at our level tries to do the best. So wherever you are from the depths of my soul I wish you the best, the initiative of 'at the heart of the living' is a beautiful proof of sharing... you are not alone with all my love Lara”
She then posted a link to his page “Au coeur du Vivant”, at
www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=898879088267967&set=a.238366994319183
where he had written:
--------------------------------------------
👀 ARE YOU ALONE ON CHRISTMAS EVE?
JOIN ME AT 9PM ON ZOOM FOR A FREE LIVE! 🌞
Perhaps on this Christmas Eve
when families and loved ones gather together,
you're alone to spend the evening? 🤷
Maybe it's weighing on you not to be with loved ones tonight,
or maybe the "family party" got you so drunk
that you'd rather be home alone?
Whatever the reason for being alone tonight,
would you like to experience a time of connection
with other Beings who have aspirations in common with you? 🥰
If that's your case, I want to be there, with you, with you.
I have the impulse for us to spend a moment together,
as if we were sitting around a roaring fire,
with sharing, laughter, silence, tenderness, awareness,
an open space where each of us can rest
and experience the joy of communion together...
🎄 If this speaks to you,
I invite you to join me on December 24, 2023 at 9pm
for a moment together LIVE on Zoom...
------------------------------
Obviously the time for this has passed, but the need for those in need has not. Lara has long used her popularity to offer his words of wisdom to the public, even appearing with him jointly at events; this seemed like a good opportunity to promote his services for those for whom the holiday season is anything but festive.
Interesting photo(s)/video(s) of the week:
As expected, several Lara fan sites did add some holiday media. The Lara Fabian Family site posted a cute reel of Lara to the tune of ‘Sleigh Ride’, at
