Diana Ankudinova is AMAZING! Opera Singer Reaction (& Analysis) | "Last Dance" 

Copyright has been more of pain lately, so apologies for the blur over the screen recording! Hope y'all can still enjoy this awesome performance from Diana :}

Этот шэдэвр Дианюсика хочетса смотреть и слушать бесконечно😂❤😊

So young and yet so aware of her own talent. She deserves the attention.

Peter, Diana Ankudinova was 14 when she first sang Dernière Danse on February 10 2018 during her first appearance on a talent show for disadvantaged teens called You Are Super. Diana’s voice, for a 14 year old was a truly unique instrument with an unusual timber, and colors that it's hard to describe. A little history, in 2017 previous year, at age 13, her vocal range was measured from a low of D3, to a high of A5. Now back to this comptetion in 2018. For a girl of 14 to have a voice with this kind of musicality, vocal control, and stage presence is truly amazing! Some have said Diana looks a little scared, which would be understandable for someone this young to experience a little “stage fright”, but Diana Ankudinova was not scared, she was getting into a character, and you can see by looking at her face she is there, she has slipped into and assumed the character in that song. She is no longer just singing a song, she is communicating. Diana is feeling the emotions of this character and communicating those feelings and emotions to the audience. Diana Ankudinova is not afraid or intimidated at all, she is a true stage animal. If you want to listen to an even younger Diana Ankudinova, check out her cover of the Beatles song, Oh Darling when she was only 10 years old. For a girl of 10, very impressive!

This isn’t an audition actually, this was the first episode of a show called “You’re Super!” back in 2018 (Diana also participated in the 2019 season, that’s when she performed Wicked Game) This performance went hella viral and the original video got something like 100 million views (?) before being taken down, it still resurfaces every couple of months on TikTok, Instagram, etc…the coolest thing to me about Diana is that she keeps raising the bar for herself higher and higher, in the nearly 6 years since this performance she just gets better and better! It would be cool if you analyzed her singing an operatic aria “Fly Away on the Wings of the Wind”, which she sang a few months ago on the Masked Singer Show

We now know the writing was on the wall for her way back then. She was amazing enough as a 14yo and so much more polished by the time we hear in Falling In Love. Great analysis - thanks Peter.

Thanks for coming back to Diana Ankudinova again! Your reactions are excellent!

Hi Peter, Diana has spoken, quite a lot, about these contest performances. Yes, there was a lot of coaching. She said that each contestant had a full week to work on every performance. She also said that she rehearsed each sound, and movement, until she could do the performances from muscle memory. This allowed her to put her full concentration into putting the emotion into the performances. I wish that you had commented on the gorgeous low note that Diana reached. Also, I would have liked to hear you comment on her maturity. At the ending, the final buzzers are hit, the entire studio is standing and cheering, yet Diana continues the performance until its conclusion. Regardless of those two minor points, thanks! You do a great job of making technical analysis accessible to this ordinary person.

Diana is amazing. And she just keeps getting better.

Even at 14 the talent was obvious. She is certainly an amazing singer. Well done on explaining why her voice is so unique!

СПАСИБО за подробный анализ выступления юной ДИАНЫ!! Это стало первым шагом к Невероятной популярности ДИАНЫ!!! ❤❤❤

Люблю когда за дело берутся профессионалы!!! Спасибо тебе!!!

Прекрасный профессиональный разбор - как и ожидалось. К счастью для Дианы Анкудиновой, её уникальный голос и великолепная вокальная техника - только часть того, чем она обладает, как артист - и чем воздействует на публику. Иначе невозможно было бы объяснить феноменальную популярность как этого выступления, так и многих других, за ним последовавших. Для меня это двухминутное представление вообще является самым главным впечатлением от популярной музыки - за всю довольно длинную жизнь. Самым главным - потому что оно было первым настолько захватывающим, настолько ошеломляющим. Затем уже были и "Реченька", и "Can't Help Falling in Love" - но первое есть первое. Вместе с ним - как мне тогда показалось - я впервые по-настоящему открыл для себя поп-музыку, которая была для меня глубоко в тени классической музыки и джаза. Я пару месяцев лихорадочно смотрел бесконечные ролики с шоу "Голос" - от Австралии до Греции. Узнал много чего интересного и нового, услышал множество прекрасных голосов. При этом не прекращая ни на один день знакомиться с Дианой Анкудиновой - всё дальше, всё глубже. И наконец пришёл к закономерному выводу: с песней "Derniere Danse" я открыл для себя не поп-музыку, не Индилу, не Адель и даже не Димаша. Я открыл нечто большее, нечто намного более важное не только для себя, как любитель музыки - я открыл что-то очень важное для всей своей жизни - открыл Диану Анкудинову. Это было странно и неожиданно; осознание этого пришло со временем - и вначале меня беспокоило. Эта сильная зависимость от казалось бы, всего-навсего голоса какой-то необычной девушки была непонятна - и требовала объяснений. Но девушка оказалась в полном порядке. Вслед за голосом я открыл для себя невероятно талантливого артиста; затем убедился в том, что передо мной разносторонне одарённая, сложно устроенная личность, красивая и снаружи, и внутри, чистая, искренняя, естественная, со своими парадоксами и контрастами. Личность, которая непрерывно меняется, развивается, становится всё сложнее, всё интереснее - и всё привлекательнее. На этом я успокоился - и просто признал, что в мою жизнь вошло нечто значительное, уже кое в чём эту жизнь изменившее - и это надо принять просто как подарок судьбы. Ощутить в этом подарке и опору, и защиту, и надежду на будущее... (Не сомневаюсь, что вместе со мной что-то подобное чувствуют и многие другие - и это, конечно же, греет душу...)

Your own voice is absolutely fantastic as well as your detailed analysis. Thanks a lot, Peter the Great!

БЛАГОДАРЮ за подробный комментарий 🙏🙏🙏 Большинство реакций на Диану:я потерял дар речи...забыл все слова... Приятно слышать грамотную речь💜❤️💛

Feels like im super early for once…. I love your reactions to Diana❤

An amazing voice. Spot-on reaction and analysis, as usual! Thank you!

Peter здравствуйте, я обожаю ваши реакции на исполнение Дианы, а особенно обожаю ваш голос. С любовью из России ❤❤❤❤

*This is an honest analysis of the vocals of a 14 year old school girl by a pro opera singer!* Vocal teachers have already worked with Diana at this age. She also attended a children's music school and a theater studio. Diana participated in children's music competitions. But she was not *a professional singer* (especially an opera singer)! And an adult opera singer, makes a serious analysis of the first steps of a teenage girl in the world of music! *It's curious!* 🙃

Diana's songs 🎵 are full of love 💘 💘 ,pain 💔, passion and energy ✨️ and we can get all wonderful emotions! Thanks a lot for your honest and professional reaction to our world 🌎 treasure Diana Ankudinova 💖 Go on, please and you won't be disappointed! Like 👍 subscription!

I have been following Diana for 5 years now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us viewers.

Hey Peter, Diana has a brand new just released original song called, The Day You….. she has recently turned 20 years old and you have just got to here how much Diana has improved her voice, I know that’s hard to believe but she’s been really working hard to get better and improve her range. And yes I am subscribed lol. So please react to the song you won’t be disappointed

Привет, Питер! Хороший выбор. Любим, смотрим.😘😁❣💓💖❤

Спасибо, за реакцию лайк!👍обажаю ваши достоверные, правильные реакции,Диана конечно действительно талантливая,💫⭐⭐💯👍.

Thanks Peter for amazing reaction to amazing Diana!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for finally giving me professional explanation, putting in words what I, with no musical education, could only feel in my bones, and my soul. From the first time I heard Diana I watched tons of reactions searching for the one that I can be satisfied with. I've seen speechless ppl, crying ppl, all sorts of amazed ppl but you are the only one who gave me all the answers to her devine capability and performance. So thank you very, very much!

Дианка❤❤❤❤

Спасибо за подробный анализ😊 Сейчас Диана ушла далеко вперёд в своём проффессионализме, она очень много работает. Сама пишет слова и музыку. Послушайте её новые песни.

Thanks again, Peter. No such thing as too much Diana. Most amazing, beautiful voice I've ever heard.

I’m a new fan of hers and yours Peter. You offer really interesting technical information we mere mortals know nothing about and your speaking voice and face are just delightful. 😊

✨Vonderful and unique Diana👑 🎵🎶💯 Thanks!🙋‍♂

Yes, you're right. These performances of the contestants are very short. This is due to time constraints. This is not a concert, but a singing competition. In a short time, the performer must show all his artistic and vocal abilities. Be sure to check out the full version of this song performed by Diana. She's much more interesting ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kjMh5suWSdU.html

thank you Peter, amazing reaction! please make a video on Diana's "Сrow" performance, its incredible🙏

Спасибо за реакцию! Очень крутой анализ! Пожалуйста,анализ ее новой песни "День, когда ты..."

Peter, thank you so much for your reaction and analysis of this decisive performance by Diana! I think you make a good point that her physiology is unique and that it shapes her sound in a profound way. I would also emphasize though that she has worked very hard at her art since a very early age, and she is a fantastic performer. Physiology is good, but with discipline and skill it becomes transformative 😅.

Her performance of ‘Rechenka’ from the same competition is remarkable.

Я любуюсь Дианой, и Вы своей реакцией и анализом очень понравились. Спасибо. Россия.

Her first audition was earlier - 13yo - Yodel Time. blind auditions for Voice Kids RU.

Спасибо за реакции на Диану Анкудинову!!!🙂👍👍

🙏🏻 Спасибо! У Дианы самый редкий тип контральто - Драматический контральто с полифоническими обертонами! И диапазоном до D6, выходящий за рамки возможностей!

Спасибо Питер за замечательный обзор исполнения этой песни Дианой! Так засияла новая звезда!💥👍🌷🌷🌷🌅

There are other extended versions of her singing this song which are even better (in my opinion) but yes, this is incredible at just 14! If you want to see her perform even younger, do please check out her singing Yodel Time when she was just 13 - it’s incredible! ☺️ (I think it was on the Kids Voice, Russia)

один из самых серьезных, внимательных и компетентных реагирующих блогеров. К тому же сам певец с интересным голосом. Спасибо за реакцию и внимание к творчеству Дианы Анкудиновой.

Fabulous analysis of Diana once again thanks Peter We are all excitedly awaiting your analysis of The Day You

Saw a video of Diana on tiktok, went down the rabbit hole and ended up here. No regrets.

Super Diana-14yo!!! Amazing!!! Beautiful!!! Awesome!!! Charizma!!! Wow!!! Thank you!!!❤✨🙀

Can not believe people are still commenting on you pausing to comment!!!! you have made it perfectly clear on every reaction what YOUR process is....

Спасибо😍🥰😘

Hello, thanks Peter ❤👍👏👏👏 нравятся ваши разборы на Диану, пересматривала несколько раз, жаль, что могу только один раз подписаться и оставить лайк... 😊

Oh, those days of yore when after one day of posting a video you had about 300 likes and a couple dozen comments... Now you've stepped up drastically in the past two or three months. Keep it up.

Princess Diana amazing 🎤🎶💎💥💔💯👍👍🇬🇷🇬🇷

Диана великолепна!!! 💎👍💯💖🌟

Wowww excellent reaction and analysis. Thanks.

Великолепное выступление Дианы! И хорошая профессиональная реакция и чёткий нализ! Диане - браво, а за реакцию - лайк и спасибо! Great performance Diana! And a good professional reaction and a clear analysis! Diana - bravo, but for the reaction - like and thank you!

With this performance, she won the hearts of the judges. With the next one, Rechenka, she fully convinced them of her talent. It is an amazing, daring performance, where she lets loose all the vocal tricks that her voice and her training allowed her to do, and that was already way more than seasoned singers usually do. Check it out in one of your next reaction videos - looking forward to it, there is a LOT to analyze!

I have always appreciated your comments on this outstanding artist! Oh please check her newest release “The Day You…”. I’ve followed her for years now and she’s gone up some levels with this new one. I’ll never get tired of listening to this one, just like many others of hers. I hope that you enjoy whenever you can. Much love and appreciation from California (SJ)! ❤️🍀🌈🙏🏻😇❣️

At the time that NTV was blocked from RU-vid, this particular performance was on RU-vid in two versions. One was this version with the song only. The second video was the song plus the comments of the judges. On March 11, 2022, the two versions of the video on RU-vid together had more than 150 million views, and all of Diana's performances of this song on RU-vid had about 300 million views. The entire show is still up on the NTV web site in high definition, although it is only in Russian.

You've introduced me to another great vocalist. Thank you.

А то, что Диана в 10 лет уже пела,, Моя Дорогая,, таким голосом необычным и чистым он еще не слышал. За Дианочку лайк.

За Диану всегда лайк

Спасибо за реакцию. За Ди всегда лайк ❤

Очень интересно ! Спасибо большое.

Beautiful song...

Wow, some really unique and amazing voice, I had to check immediately your analysis of her singing 'Can't Help Falling In Love' too, what she pulls out there is really incredible. But I think its also interesting how some people can sing in a way that it would fit the opposite sex much more, she could be easily mistaken for a man with those low, dark vocals. Similarly I was much more drawn to Corvyx when I found out he's actually a man, couldn't believe that at first... I can't understand how he doesn't have just as manny followers on YT, his vocals are so amazing too.

The day you .... by Diana check it out 🤯❤❤❤❤❤❤❤....... thanks Peter.

Great commentary as always thanks.😊

when I listen Diana, I am so sorry that I did not learn music during my school years. Thou, I greatly appreciate opportunity to hear analysis form the pro like Peter. Good job!!!! What's next? -- Diana's yodels at the age of 13 (@ Russian Voice)? I am dying to watch this analysis...

She also is a yodeler so that has really helped her create an even more unique sound. There’s a video of her yodeling when she’s younger and it’s phenomenal

Thank you for revisiting Diana again Peter. Please react to her new song "The Day You" it's got a bit of everything in it including hitting the high C.

Объяснить могут многие, повторить не может никто на Земле. Единственная и неповторимая. Великая певица. ❤

This was her first performance on the show You Are Super! but she was on at least one show before that, The Voice Kids Russia, where she sang “Yodel Time.” I understand that caused some controversy because no one hit their button for her.

Diana is a fabulous yodeler...it serves her well.

I love her can’t help falling in love performance but my second is Oh, it’s not yet evening yet! You should review that one next! It’s in Russian and really beautiful!

Peter you have to react to Diana's cover of California Dreaming, she hits some really high notes. I'd love your professional opinion on what octave she reaches, I think it's the highest note I've heard her sing. Also her rendition is other worldly. Cheers.

Thank you for your professional reaction. Check please when she was 10 years old. Oh darling. Beatles 's song

Please check “the crow” as well🎉 I love how she can yodel ❤

we need more of Diana

Greetings from Scotland! As one Peter to another, respect to you sir! You understand the technicalities of this unique young singer's vocal abilities perfectly! Even at an early age Diana had a huge amount of natural vocal ability. Over the years she has constantly worked on her natural ability to get where it is today - incredibly unique! And so much more to come yet!

She showed beautiful top notes in her new song "The Day You...🔥"

Thanks.

Loved this!

❤❤❤

Классная реакция. Однако это было не первое публичное появление Дианы. Годом ранее она появилась на The Voice Kids, но не добилась прогресса, когда судьи по глупости не признали ее потрясающие способности к йодлю. Это вызвало небольшой скандал. Но все это спорно. Диана публично поет на концертах с 5 лет. Сцена - ее дом. Cool reaction. This was not Diana's first public appearance though. A year earlier she appeared on The Voice Kids but did not progress when the judges stupidly did not recognize her tremendous yodelling ability. That caused a minor scandal. But all this is moot. Diana has been singing publicly in concerts since age 5. The stage is her home.

Wowwww Good Reaction Peter !! and Very Good singer, my God !!!!

💛💛💛

I was waiting for that ❤

Эта версия «Derniere Danse» Дианы Анкудиновой имела более 120 миллионов просмотров на RU-vid, прежде чем видео было удалено после начала войны в Украине./That version of "Derniere Danse" by Diana Ankudinova had over 120 million views on RU-vid, before the video was taken down after the war in Ukraine began.

Спасибо 👍интересная реакция,хотя и специфическая

I love this magical voice!!! Thank you for your reaction!

My favorite of hers is Rechenka, but there are so many other amazing performances and videos to watch. Human, Wicked Game... and the very stripped back rendition of Ornery Horses. Oh, and the performance when she was very young of her yodeling!

👍👍

Послушайте последнюю песню "День, когда ты..." . У неё увеличился диапазон в сторону в сторону высоких частот. Хотелось бы услышать ваш разбор этой песни.

React to her Yodel video next! I think she is even younger in that one. So much skill so young!

So young here, but so talented! Please react to Diana singing “Mama I’m dancing”, proof she can amaze in any genre, or california dreaming😊

Love Diana thx fir the reaction. i love the raw audition, their reaction. But i like the full version better, triple this length. She sang the full version of Derniere Danse atc14, and ever since, even now at age of 20. Maybe a cool video idea to compare her current performance wuth fuller, more developed voice and while it was astonishing at 14, better than many adult singer, she developed her singing technique even further. But for true sing recommendation how about a different environment, duet, live stream, improvisation, no edited sound: Diana Ankudinova sang with Sasha K, will put link in reply.

Спасибо за реакцию 👍

Петер, привет 👋 из Омска!!! Да, Петер, ты много видео Дианы пропустил!!! Это первое появление Дианы на проекте Ты Супер и Диана сразу взорвала интернет!!!

На этом видео Диане 14 лет. Но есть её более раннее выступление на шоу Голос, где Диана исполняла йодль. Там ей 13 лет.
