"She has been my favorite for 40 years now."

Constantine (USA) on Dalida
"Fantastic very versatile voice, style, delivery, beauty, and believe it or not I saw and heard her for the first time about 2 weeks ago. And I'm 76 years old and quite literate. So it's amazing that I haven't known this gem till now. Was really sad to find that she passed away."

"Parce que Dalida est la plus belle femme par l'intérieur et l'extérieur du monde. Elle est un exemple pour nous tous car c'est nous qui avons détruis sa vie."

B.L. (USA) on Dalida
"She is stunning, sings beautifully, enjoys acclaim and success & yet she is unfulfilled and tragically takes her own life. I am struck by her own words, that she has enjoyed a great career, but has failed at life. So beautiful and yet so anguished and empty inside. Dalida is truly a diva."

Fab (Canada) on Dalida

Every song of hers touches me deeply because you can feel there's a true story, true feelings behind it. And this is why she will never be forgotten, this is why more and more young people as myself love her and her music, because she speaks of real life, death, love and pain and beauty."

Vladymyr (Russia) on Dalida
"She was a charismatic woman. There is something in her songs, something in her voice even now, almost 13 years after she passed away. When I listen to her songs I feel something powerful inside my soul and I feel physical pain from sorrow for this woman knowing that she'll never again share with us her great talent, her soul.
