LARA FABIAN,31/05/2000

"Dish Diva" : Lara, we have a lot of fans asking about your touring schedule this summer.

Lara_Fabian : I'm going to be touring in France, Switzerland, and Belgium all summer starting in July 4th through the 14th of August. I'm ending in Tunisia on the 15th of August. You can get all the dates and times on my website.

"Dish Diva" : Alex Asks: I'm a French boy, I live in Orleans, FRANCE, and I want to say to you: "I Love You!" Will you not forget your French fans with this new starting? - Excuse for my definitive bad English!

Lara_Fabian : Alex, first of all apologies accepted, no need for excuse. No, I would never forget them, they were the ones that started this whole schtick. It's like I have to re-explain myself. It's like "will you forget your nose when you go out" and no, how can I? It's there on my face. This is my base and I would never forget anyone.

"Dish Diva" : MadZombie says: Are you working on any new albums?

Lara_Fabian : No not yet.

"Dish Diva" : Manolis_Varnasactor Asks: Lara your music in the best what do you love most recording your music at a recording studio or perfoming live ?

Lara_Fabian : I love both for different reasons. They actually have something in common which is getting emotions to the deepest level. One is the inverted part, and the other is where you share it so I love both for different reasons.

"Dish Diva" : Humana Asks: Lara, do you know about all the internet sites dedicated to you? What do you think of them? ---Erica from Illinois

Lara_Fabian : Erica, I'm aware of a few because my producer sits me down every now and then to closely look at it. I think it's great that people have taken such time to dedicate websites to my work. I'm very flattered.

"Dish Diva" : tatoo says: Lara , je te connais depuis ton 1er album et je veux que tu saches que tu m'épates encore plus avec le temps continue de nous faire rêver
"Dish Diva" : (I have known you from the start and you have made me dream more and more)

"Dish Diva" : Cassi Asks: Are there any videos of you in concert available to the public ?

Lara_Fabian : Cassi, no, there aren't. Not so far.

"Dish Diva" : Manolis_Varnasactor Asks: you are a very wonderfull singer where did you grow up and did you always wanted to be a singer and sing this kind of music ?

Lara_Fabian : Yes, definitely.

"Dish Diva" : little lila says: I don't know if my english is good (I'm french) but I'd like to know how you feel today and what helps you when life is (sometimes) so difficult. You seem so strong.

Lara_Fabian : It depends on the difficulties you go through. The ones that life brought me I could see overcoming them. Whether you believe in God or not, I believe he sends you what you can handle within forgiveness. It may seem amazingly difficult and deep and overwhelming, but we will finally find that tiny little spotlight inside that will make it possible. If you look you will definitely find that strength inside you. You can see very strongly but to acknowledge the weakness and breakdown and cry, sometimes that will make it more easy. You draw strength from pain you don't draw strength from strength.

"Dish Diva" : shammy says: Since you travel so much, I was wondering what you like to take on the road with you? A favorite shawl or family photos?

Lara_Fabian : Shammy, candles. I travel with candles. I have some photos in my purse but I don't keep them in a frame. They are private for me and I don't want to expose the pictures to everyone. And my diary, I always have my diary.

"Dish Diva" : tasha says: Hi Lara. Is there a history to your name? My daughter's name is Lara as well.

Lara_Fabian : Tasha, there is a history to my name. My mom and dad back in 1979 saw Dr. Zhivago and the main character's name is Lara. She had blond hair and turquoise eyes, I guess I missed the train.

"Dish Diva" : caramel Asks: Have you ever thought about writing songs for other artists?

Lara_Fabian : I did it already. I did write songs for other artists. It's something that I would like to be doing when I'm not touring or promoting around the world.

"Dish Diva" : beachbaby says: Will you do a duet soon? Is there any artist you have in mind male or female?

Lara_Fabian : Maxwell. I love Maxwell, I would sing with Maxwell.

"Dish Diva" : I would love to hear your voices together.

Lara_Fabian : I adore him, I think he's so talented.

"Dish Diva" : claren12 Asks: Lara, is it right that you were really scared during a flight ?

Lara_Fabian : Yes it is. It was a flight between Italy to Germany and the plane was not a good ride. We had to have a few Jack Daniel's to get through the flight. When we got off it was one of those mesmerized feelings that we were happy to make it through the flight. Now instead of traveling with anti-bacterial soap, we travel with Jack Daniel's!

"Dish Diva" : gala says: I know this is a hard choice, but do you have a favorite artist you admire?

Lara_Fabian : Yes, Freddy Mercury, Barbara Streisand, Nat King Cole, today would be Phil Collins, Annie Lenox, and Sting. There's so many but these are the ones that came to my mind.

"Dish Diva" : LisaK says: Do you have a favorite city to tour?

Lara_Fabian : New York. I loooove New York. Definitely and truely. I've discovered London recently and love it, but New York is it for me.

"Dish Diva" : Alecia: I am from Montreal! Bonjour! I just wanted you to know you are very stylish! Do you have a dresser?

Lara_Fabian : Alecia, truely what most people see are things that I pick. I have a friend named Marco who helps me sometimes. But most is what I personally choose and go get.

"Dish Diva" : caramel Asks: Is Yeliel really the name of your angel, who inspired that wonderful song ''Yeliel my Angel''?

Lara_Fabian : Caramel, well Yeliel inspired that song, he really is my angel and it's a biblical name that has been around for centuries. It was inspired by the fact that I believe in him. Still inspired by faith.

"Dish Diva" : have you ever had any miraculous incidents?

Lara_Fabian : I don't believe in miracles. I guess I got so freightened on that flight, you have to believe that something is protecting you though.


"Dish Diva" : It was either God or Jack Daniel's.
Lara, it has been great having you as our guest on MSN Live.


Lara_Fabian : It was truely wonderful to have this first chat out of America. To my French fans Je vous adore et à très bientôt sur la tournée bisou Lara. It was truely a pleasure, can't wait to see you all!
