I think in this song she is indeed more refererring to self-forgiveness than forgiveness.

When Lara sings, it's as if she takes you by the hand and says, " Come, let me take you on a journey." She sings directly from her soul and into yours; every performance is a masterclass.

Love Lara ❤️
Love from Denmark ❤️

More information about Lara Fabian:



Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Aretha, Shirley Bassey, Lisa Fischer, ....

In my personal opinion, she is even the best.



There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 10,000+  attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register.



So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence:



• she speaks 2 languages  natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 15 languages in total



• she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for 200+ songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music, and is at the source of the melodic line.



• she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none



• she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens.



A quick background on her and her career:



She is belgian, her father is flemish and grand mother on father side is dutch,  but she also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( the father of her mother is from Detroit). She had been raised in Sicilia first for 7 years then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages.



She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory.

She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today. She only moved away from opera to pop because she is first and foremost a songwriter.



After her Eurovision participation in 1988 (4th), she really started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada.

She had been living for years in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship. She  moved to Sicilia end of 2022.



She became very famous in Quebec in the early 90s with several double platine records and then conquered France in 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music).



In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and was number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.



Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US.

This concert is legendary, packed with masterpieces (covered by many great vocalists later on).



But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan.



She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance.



She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then.



Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), Linda Eder,  …



With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there.

Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her.



She is one of Dimash's biggest idols, probably the most influential on the way he sings and performs:

I've read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep.

Lara has been the musical muse of Igor Krutoy during 10 years and Dimash was dreaming to join them on stage.

Igor Krutoy discovered Dimash when he covered Adagio on The Singer contest, and was praised by Lara. Dimash did collaborate with Igor during several years afterwards. Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him.

He covered many of her songs, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by Lara. Out of my mind I can list:

○  "Adagio"    (She wrote it and is the original performer), they sang it recently in duet in London

○  "Mademoiselle Hyde"    (she wrote it and is the original performer),

○  "Love of Tired Swans"     (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version)

○"Ascolta La Voce" / "Vocalize"  (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know")

Lara also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love" composed by Igor.

And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva).

Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida.



Many other current generation top vocalists covered her songs:

NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version.



Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature.



In June 2022, she had a very successful tour in Canada and Europe. I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was spectacular as always.



She had another successful tour in Eastern Europe and Central Asia in 2023 then  in Canada in april-june 2024. She also appeared as a guest in some big events such as Hauser’s concert in Royal Albert Hall (May 9th 2024).

She just released late November 2024 a brand new album, "Je suis là" (I’m here), a pure gem, packed with beautiful songs with deep moving lyrics.

This triggered a new European tour in June 2025 (the first concert was in London on June 3rd and Dimash was her special guest. They sang her hit Adagio in duet). And since October 2025 and up to April 2026 another tour in France/Belgium/Switzerland.

Meanwhile she participates to many TV shows in different countries.

For instance, in France, she won The Voice France Kids 2024 as a coach with her talent Tim. She delivered a masterclass, as each year, for Star Academy. And she was again coach for The Voice France 2026 (adults). Talents from different countries (Ukraine, Georgia, Germany, Belgium, ...) candidated to The Voice France in order to get a chance to be coached by Lara.

She is indeed recognized as the best vocal coach for these shows in France and Quebec.

Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.

Legendary Queen 👸🏼

La reina Lara ❤❤❤

Excellent reaction Nic! Like a bird, lovely comparison. Yes, Lara takes you into a journey, into her wolrd, that's her gift!

One of one Lara. Thank you. More please

You can't go wrong if you listen to Eric SIcard. 😉

She's the best singer on this (or any other) planet. She's perfect. ❤

Thank you for a lovely reaction. ❤

ELLE a beaucoup souffert de ses ruptures amoureuses , ses chansons le démontres , mais l'art se nourrit de souffrance et Lara est la plus grandes chanteuses au Monde . elle est aujourd'hui mariée avec un musicien Italien , et a une fille de 17 ans d'un premier mariage . Sa voix n'a d'égal que sa beauté !!!! elle est en tournée actuellement en France . "She has suffered greatly from her breakups, as her songs demonstrate, but art thrives on suffering and Lara is the greatest singer in the world. Today, she is married to an Italian musician and has a 17-year-old daughter from a previous marriage. Her voice is matched only by her beauty! She is currently on tour in France."

She was a Diva, she is a Diva and will be a Diva 😍.
At 56 she is still the best female singer vocally , a beautiful  soul , humble and kind  and such a classy and beautiful goddess ♥.

Everything @ericsicard910 says about Lara Fabian is true. I would add that, beyond being an exceptional artist, Lara Fabian is an exceptional human being—the very embodiment of one. I call her "The Humana Queen."😇

Lovely reaction. I would love an analysis of Bambina  by her , it’s lovely

The music of Broken Vow was co-composed by Walter Afanassiev and Lara Fabian.



Walter Afanassiev, an american/brazilian from russian descent, is a legendary composer and producer. He co-composed some of the greatest initial hits of Mariah Carey such as All I Want for Christmas is You or Hero.

And he  was the producer of the Titanic soundtrack that increased Celine Dion WW fame.  He also had produced a song for Dimash among others.



When this song was composed, Walter and Lara were engaged, they were living in San Francisco’s bay area, but apparently he cheated and she decided to break up. When she took this decision,  that she knew would dramatically change both her personal and professional destiny, she wrote these incredible lyrics.



Lara has said this is her preferred english song from all the songs she wrote in this language (there are many, and some are pure jewels).



One reason is also because this song has then been covered by the greatests:



Barbra Streisand (she performed it in concerts from one of her tour but never recorded it),

Josh Groban (his cover made this song famous in US, she is her friend and role model and he made several duets with her),

Linda Eder,

Cakra Khan,

Gigi de Lana,

Regine Velasquez,

Almira (from 4th Impact),

Katrina Velarde,

Julie Anne San Jose,

Sarah Geronimo,

Morissette Amon,

Petra Berger,

Harrison Craig,

Rimar,

Jackie Evancho,

…



For Jackie Evancho, and at the request of Jackie's parents who found the original lyrics were not a good fit for a young girl, Lara rewrote Broken Vow in french as "Imaginer" with a complete different meaning.



But the original from Lara remains the absolute reference
