---- "The most watched Caruso on the YouTube" (by member alexusa100)
Friends, Lara's Caruso just took back the No. 1 title as of 4/28/08, compared with the Caruso's by a wide range of vocalists around the world including: Luciano Pavarotti, Lucio Dalla, Celine Dion, Florent Pagny, Julio Iglesias, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Vitas, Mario Frangoulis, Russell Watson, Paul Potts, etc.
Lara's Caruso had been No. 1 before in or before September 2007, when Pavarotti's Caruso was in the second spot; at that time the numbers of viewing for Lara's and Pavarotti's Caruso were about 660,000 vs. 160,000.
But when Pavarotti passed away in September 2007, there was a big surge of viewers viewing most of Pavarotti's videos, and that surge propelled his Caruso to surpass Lara's Caruso in a couple of weeks.
When that surge slowly subsided, it took about seven months for Lara's Caruso to take back that No. 1 title. As of 4/28/08, the day of retaking the title, the numbers of viewing for Lara's and Pavarotti's Caruso were about 2,043,800 vs. 2,041,100; the gap is expected to widen as time goes by (even so, Pavarotti is still one of the top vocalists that I respect very, very much.)

INTRO: A true stage dynamo, Lara always leaves the viewer breatless with her gutso delivery and evocative gestures. Nobody moves like her !! Here she uses her talent as a dramatic actress to make the Italian classic "Caruso" come to life, and she does so in a way that rips the viewer's hearts in a million pieces but makes you thank the heavens you're alive to witness such beauty and authentic talent.
** "Caruso" is available as a B-side of the single "Love By Grace" (2001). It's a live version from this very concert.
** The DVD of this concert special ("From Lara With Love") has never been in the general commerce, but it can be found if lucky through some fans sites or ebay.

BIO: Italian-Belgian pop singer Lara Fabian was born to be a superstar diva. She was classically trained as a child, and at 18 she flew to Quebec to begin her career as a solo artist. There she released 3 successful albums, but soon the territory proved to be small for Lara's ambition and talent. So in 1996 she launched her career in France with album Pure which sold 2million, and her international career took off in 1999 when Sony Music launched her first album with the hit "I Will Love Again". Since then, Lara has released more albums and DVDs and collaborated with Josh Groban, David Foster and Walter Afanasieff. Rush to buy her albums, you'll never go back

CARUSO (~English translation~)
Here, where the sea shines
and the wind howls,
on the old terrace
beside the gulf of Sorrento,
a man embraces a girl
after the tears,
then clears his throat
and continues the song:
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know;
it is a chain by now
that heats the blood inside the veins, you know...
He saw the lights out on the sea,
thought of the nights there in America,
but they were only the fishermen's lamps
and the white wash astern.
He felt the pain in the music
and stood up from the piano,
but when he saw the moon
emerging from a cloud,
death also seemed sweeter to him.
He looked the girl in the eyes,
those eyes as green as the sea.
Then suddenly a tear fell
and he believed he was drowning.
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know,
it is a chain by now
that heats the blood inside the vein you know...
The power of opera,
where every drama is a hoax;
with a little make-up and with mime
you can become someone else.
But two eyes that look at you,
so close and real,
make you forget the words,
confuse your thoughts,
so everything becomes small,
also the nights there in America.
You turn and see your life
through the white wash astern.
But, yes, it is life that ends
and he did not think much about it
on the contrary, he already felt happy
and continued his song:
I love you very much,
very, very much, you know,
it is a chain by now
that heats the blood inside the veins, you know...
Thanks to member kwatube08 for providing the lyrics.
