Inna has been a long-time fan of Lara Fabian, a Canadian singer with a
beautiful voice. Lara decided to visit San Jose on her
50 World Tour (a celebration of her 50th birthday).
The Lara Fabian Setlist was as follows:
1. Adagio (Italian version)
2. Alleluia
(Acte 1 - Passion)
3. Croire (Extrait)
4. J'ai zappé / Leila
5. Tu t'en vas
6. Take Me Home, Country Roads
7. Perdere l'amore
(Acte 2 - Ascension)
8. La différence
9. Si tu m'aimes
10. Je suis malade
11. Saisir le jour
(Acte 3 - Transformation)
12. J'y crois encore
13. Aimer déjà / Parce que tu pars / Immortelle
14. Tu es mon autre / Sur un prélude de Bach
15. Lyubov pokhozhaya na son [Russian version]
16. Je suis à toi
17. I Will Love Again
(Acte 4 - Emancipation)
18.Par amour
19. Humana
20. Je t'aime
Overall: 2 out of 5 (one of the worst pop concerts, but better than Shakira)
Positives
- Lara has an excellent singing voice and has the potential for a beautiful concert
- The concert started on time (unlike Shakira)
- I really liked "Take Me Home, Country Roads," "Adagio," and "Je T'aime"
- The acoustics at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts were quite respectable
- The concert was not overwhelmingly loud (unlike most pop concerts tend to be)
- Lara had practically no band - where are the drummers, bass players, guitar players? Drumming and bass were being rendered by a drum machine. It sounded so amateurish.
- A Grand Piano would have sounded much better for most slow ballads and songs than an electronic synthesizer.
- For faster, up-tempo songs, dancers would have been preferred to entertain and engage the audience.
- I would have preferred more English-language songs
- Special effects were kind of cheesy
- The three chorus girls did not show much enthusiasm
- The concert felt like it had low energy
