In 1979, at the age of 14, I bought my first Dalida vinyl record 45 EP in Reunion Island where I lived with my parents. I will soon be 37 and am still a fan of the Great Lady. The lyrics of her songs often reflect moments of my adult life... She will always stay my Idol amid my favourite popular singers. For me she is : The voice, look, beauty, emotion, regrets, tears, heartache, grief, joy, true love, true life, reality, irreplaceable, unforgettable, eternity...
Tohear her sing it is like the sun is shining.she is a wonderfull artist .I will never forget her live shows in paris.never an artist gave me so greit emotions. I do miss you a lot. You were aperfect artist you made me laugh;and cry.you were a perfect love;i will never forget
I have just fallen under the spell of this remarkable woman. I was recently in Paris and went and paid my respects to Dalida at her resting place and I thanked her for being so unique and special. Her voice simply touches me. The way she sings 'Je Suis Malade' makes my heart ache. I've also just bought the DVD of her various TV performances and I am so sad that I will never witness one of them for myself. What a star this woman is and one that will shine forever.
Me and my brother live in the uk and are big Dalida fans. She is truly unique. Too bad we will never be able to see her perform live. Our favourite song is Gigi Paradiso.
I was only introduced to Dalida this year by a CD from a friend in the USA, what does she mean to me, the moment I played the CD I was captured by her voice, I don't know French, but it is not important, because Dalida like Edith Piaf sings from the heart, and you feel all the emotions of life, love, sorrows, wonderful Dalida, if only she were alive now, and then she would see how loved she is.
came accross Dalida about 2 years ago after being introduced by a French friend and I fell in love immediately. Something about her life, her beauty, talent and her tragedy touched my soul and continues to do so to this day. Such a terrible shame but a wonderful legacy
Am French living in Uk and Dalida was and still is for me a great artist with Je ne sais quoi who makes her so unique. I was so shocked the day she died but I respect her act and I wish she is having a better life out there along the anges... send you my Love and thank you orlando to keep her alive!

Our song in 1961 was "Parlez moi d'amour". Twill ever remain thus e'en tho' my wife has joined Dalida in what must be heaven!!
Dalida represents Beauty, natural elegance and chic, professionalism, purity, sincerity and honesty of the heart, to sing and dance remarkably, a way of life and a philosophy. Listening to her songs gives me a lot of cheer, warmth and vibrancy. Some of her remixed songs are even played in the Brighton gay-friendly and trendy bars and pubs. She unites all people from every nation. She is universal that is why she touched so many souls. I have even learned German and a little Italian and Spanish by listening to her foreign recordings. Long Live Dalida.
My mother being Spanish bornn in Tangiers was a great fan of Dalida. I grew up listening to her records all of the time. I still listen to her beautiful voice and can't beleive my good fortune in discovering some great DVDs and videos of the great lady! My friends here in England are also crazy about her and always ask me to play the DVDs when they come over. My only regret is that I like so many others, never had the opportunity to see Dalida live on stage.
