Lara Fabian went through all the emotions on Friday in “The Secret Box”. The 54-year-old star, currently back with the album “Je suis là” which she created largely with Slimane, responded positively to Faustine Bollaert's invitation to participate in this show that she knows GOOD. Last year, she surprised Vitaa by singing to him “You are my other”… and the singer this time returned the favor by performing her hit “Immortelle”. “ It's the most beautiful version I've ever heard. Thank you, I love you » she confided, tears in the corners of her eyes, taking her friend in her arms. It was his daughter Lou and her husband Gabriel who then sent him a tender message of love: “ You know my love, there are so many things I admire about you. Your strength, your passion, your tenderness. (…) Thank you for being this incredible woman, this perfect mother, this pillar of our life “. Here again, Lara Fabian couldn't hold back her sobs!

“You are this quiet presence at my side”
Retracing the thread of her career using tape recorders, Faustine Bollaert knew how to encourage Lara Fabian to talk about his Italian roots and his family, before orchestrating with the complicity of his loved ones a very moving picture. “ I'm very annoyed Lara because I think I'm going to continue to make you cry » said the host, with a smile on her lips, welcoming behind the screens the singer Annabel and… Fabio Lazzara, who was her vocal coach, for a cover of “Chanter” by Florent Pagny. It was then that Tim, the winner of “The Voice Kids” whom she carried to victory, arrived to sing “The Ballad of Happy People”, then giving way to… Nikos Aliagas! The famous host of “The Voice” and the “Star Academy”, an amateur but passionate singer as the public already knows, took up the challenge of performing the Italian song “E penso a te” for Lara Fabian. Four close friends of the star then joined her to form a team, leaving stars in the singer's eyes.

Rushing to embrace Nikos, Lara Fabian couldn't help but thank him… in Greek! “ Eucharisteo mon ami, eucharisteo » she said before turning to the audience of the show: “ Shall we introduce Nikos? Friends, let's not introduce him anymore! ». « She's the only one who says Nikos [avec l’accent] like my mother, like at home! » joked the TF1 host, satisfied to have succeeded in moving him… even if the challenge was, in his opinion, a little perilous. “ With Lara, we've been spending time on the sets for years now, but to come in front of Lara and sing a song in Italian like the Sicilian that she is and that I admire, I can assure you that I didn't sleep during several nights » he admitted to the host of France 3. Lara Fabian was very touched by this delicate attention: “ It was perfect. Nikos, for so many years as you say, you have been this quiet and discreet presence at my side. I know what your heart thinks when it sees mine, thank you for that “. A beautiful statement!
