There are many of us who think that she will someday be regarded as one of the greatest vocalists of her generation. No one is ready, the first time they hear Diana. Great reaction!
It's the rarest delightful contralto I've ever heard. A girl at the age of 18 showed the highest class of singing. She is artistic, natural and talented. This is not often seen and heard, agree. Elvis, I'm sure, would be delighted with such a powerful version of his song. In general, this version would be good for some great and dramatic film about love.
Diana's voice is classified as a Dramatic Contralto with polyphonic harmonic overtones. What a beautiful performance! Diana combines different vocal techniques to express emotions and feelings towards her audiences, her interpretations of those lyrics is pure artistry. Thank you for sharing time on your channel for Diana.
One thing you can not say about Diana Ankudinova is that she is "some random woman". At 18 Diana is in a league of her own and you will not find another voice like hers.
It's a dark version of the song. A cover should never try to copy the original. Elvis is Elvis! Diana demonstrates the emotion of her performances as well as her range. She is the queen of goosebumps!
Diana is 18 years old now her birthday is May 31st , she was born May 31st 2003 , she is a Really Rare True Contralto which is the lowest female voice .
This is a Television show that has 9 weeks of singing a song in a different genre each week and your peers rank the singers each week, no judges, so it's more of a TV show than a contest so to speak. She filmed it during a break from School. She's still a teen student at the largest and oldest independent theatrical arts school in Russia, GITIS (The Russian Institute of Theatre Arts), located in Moscow. Her second performance was this last Saturday. Put this in your RU-vid search >>> "Мама, я танцую" - Диана
This is a darker, more mystical interpretation. The harmonics are done in a minor key for that purpose. It stands alone on the top of the mountain! Exquisite!
Howdy from Texas, Recky! Welcome to Diana's world! Nobody else on earth can do what Diana does. Nobody. She is impossibly talented! The man who stood up is a world-known opera singer. Even he was blown away by Diana's spectacular performance! Perfect breath control. Perfect transitions. Perfect technique. And that vocal tone! OMG!!
Diana is amazing. She is just 18yo here. She has many other remarkable performances with a wide range of styles. Please try Wicked Game (15yo), Rechenka (14yo) or even Human for some other performances, she is truly special.
@@Reckyj She actually learned to sing before she could talk properly. Diana was abused and abandoned by her birth mother when she was three. She was adopted by a caregiver from the orphanage at age five but could not really talk so it was recommended she take singing lessons to learn. Now we have the gorgeous Diana, she has an amazing voice but an even more beautiful spirit. She really is a very special young lady.
@@Reckyj Here is a link for an even earlier performance, before she was well known in Russia. It’s only from 2017 but you can see how much she’s grown in just four years. Non, je ne regrette rien (No regrets) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zSE_HsLqntU.html
Диана прекрасна, как фея МелюзИна из французской сказки, как она способна всё остановить, заставить замереть каждого слушателя, не отрывая взгляда от её одухотворённого лица и её горящих глаз, про таких исполнителей говорят : "У неё прекрасное присутствие на сцене". Хочу на неё смотреть бесконечно.
Your face virtually fell in line with those of the other participants, awed,stunned,mesmerized,baffled - great. The words you missed,could have been 'mystical','ethereal',unique. The greatest achievement of an artist is,to create something different,incomparable,something recognizable under every circumstance. That's what Diana does with her unique voice,timbre and range. Her covers never are copies of the original,they become independent songs
Diana is an amazing and unique phenomenon. There are a lot of good voices in the world. There are not enough artists. Diana combines both unique voice and artistry. It dissolves in the song all listeners and draws into his world. Thanks for the reaction. This is just the beginning)))
Прекрасная композиция, божественный голос Дианы, превосходное исполнение!!! За реакцию лайк. Может включите перевод. Надеемся услышать Ваши реакции на Диану ещё ни раз. Россия.
Yes, Diana caught us all, and this is just one of the facets of this wonderful singer. This is one of Diana's new appearances in the new show. In this show, singers need to demonstrate their skills in 9 different musical genres, 2 releases passed - 2 new songs performed by Diana opened a new Diana for us, although we also really liked what Diana sang before. Join us and you will discover Diana's new worlds step by step.
Nice reaction )))) She has that effect on us all with most of her songs . Queen of goose bumps takes our breath away makes many cry with her singing . This is a copy of Elvis's song but called dark version which was sung by a woman in 2019 but Diana transforms famous songs into her masterpieces . Wait until you hear her sing Wicked Game or Human or Derniere Dance (119 million views on U Tube ) in French and River in Russian from when she was only 14 . This one is only a week or so old from her singing competition she competing in now in Russia ,just started .
Does she have her own RU-vid channel? And is this hers: ru-vid.com%D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BA%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%91%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B1%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BD
@@Reckyj Yes but keep in mind the best ones to react to by far are the ones made by the talent show HBV = in English NTV . They have the best sound and staging etc and she really performs incredibly in them like you just saw . Just be careful of copy rights blocking ,cover them a little or whatever ,we've all seen her a unhealthy amount of times anyway so we don't need to watch her vid fully )) Take on Me is one she made at home in lock down which is amazing ,you'll be able to show that one fully I think
Добро пожаловать в мир Дианы! Диана - уникальная и неповторимая певица! Невероятное выступление!!! Просто потрясающее!!! И отличная эмоциональная реакция! Диане - браво!!! А за реакцию - лайк и спасибо! Welcome to Diana's world! Diana is a unique and inimitable singer! Incredible performance !!! Simply amazing !!! And a great emotional response! Diana - bravo !!! And for the reaction - like and thanks!
Thanks for a great reaction! Tomorrow will be release Diana's another song that she is going to perform on third part of competition show. That should be something else too. I can't wait to become baffled again! That would be a very old Russian folk song from "... many tried, yet not many succeed". Do not miss it and we will eagerly waiting for your reaction on it! With regards.
"What is going on here .." ... ??? Dinana Ankudinova .. pronounced something like .. DEE-Ana An-Ku-DEE-nova ... perhaps the greatest Contralto on he planet .. she turned 18 May 31
@@tamaragerasimova2405 Diana won the show "You are super" in May 2018 when she was 14 years old. The next year she won the same show when she was 15. Amazing.
For precision this isn't the cover of Elvis but the cover of the cover by Tommee Profitt feat. Brooke (2017) in D minor (Tommee Profitt is a great USA songwriter, producer specially in the music of the TV series). This russian girl (18y.o.) with a difficult childhood (abused from the mother that she left her on the bus stop with the broken shoulder when was 3 y.o. and that, after the short period in orphanage, was adopted from a woman) learned to speak with the music e then won a lot of competitions. This is a Talent show for winners. The songs are distributed to the 9 entrants from the Production: (9 weeks, 9 songs, 9 different genres). This was the first round that she won.
Here are three reasons why Diana doesn't sound human. First, she is a dramatic contralto, which is the absolute rarest type of female voice. It allows her to sing very dramatic/powerful, very (I mean VERY) deep, very dark, very rich. Second, she has a spectacular larynx. She won the genetics lottery, and it's been called the Eighth Wonder of the World. Third, she is polyphonic, which means she can produce multiple harmonics within her voice at the same time. This is what allows her to sound like two people at once. (more below) When you add all that up you basically get a person who creates her own auto-tune. She doesn't need electronic auto-tune. She IS her own auto-tune. And the effect when you hear her is totally mind-blowing. It's like she's singing right through you, like a sword straight into your soul. Literally NOBODY else on the planet has a voice like hers. She's not one in a million, she's one in seven billion.
as if last time we figured out that it's not about genetics. Genetics and a low voice are hermaphrodites, or the development of the larynx genetically as in men, but Diana is a woman and the reason for her voice cannot be won in the genetic lottery, but the injuries that Diana experienced up to 3 years old, which caused the rapid growth of the larynx and the maturation of her voice.
@@monolit73 I understood that she has a larger larynx than usual and that it's somewhat visual to the eye. You, apparently, don't believe people can be physically different. We don't come from a rubber stamp with a same size everything. Everyone is special from everyone else in so many different ways. We all have our own talents and physical differences. We just have to find them. I look at it as Diana found her's.
Part of the harmonics is due to a High Arched Palate. It creates a resonating space many people don't have. It's also where that smokey quality comes from.
Her covers are always mind blowing)) You should check out her “Human”, “Rechenka”, “Wicked game”, “Dernière dance”, “Man’s world”!!! She is a spirit, a forest nymph, a sorceress, the Mother Earth incarnated, an intergalactic phenomena🌏🔥💕
Growing up in my childhood with Elvis as the biggest star, I agree with you Reckyj. you can't compare this to the original. This is so superior , this should be the new standard for this song. In these competitions, you have to stay under a time limit too, think if this was just her and no contest.
Cool reaction. Have you ever heard of Diana Ankudinova? Have you been on a desert island for the last three years without communication with the outside world?
Hi)Loved your reaction))Diana is exquisite). Check out her "old" performances , when she was only 15 years old. Her dramatic cover of the beautiful Cris Isaac's "Wicked game "
Перевод может быть неправильным. Но я читал, что вам понравилась моя реакция. И то, что вы подписались, было естественным. Если я прав. Спасибо за добрые слова.
This is the Dark Version of this song, same name, sung by Brooke, and produced by Tommee Profitt. Also, it is sung in the minor key instead of major. But Diana knocks it out of the park! I really enjoyed your reaction. I don't think anyone was expecting this!
When Diana goes epic we tremble.... Some details of this performance: Yaaay Diana Ankudinova (now 18) finally got a new chance to shine in professional environment after 3 years. The ShowMaskGoon is a new TV show on Russian NTV channel, every saturday (8 episodes left), where best/winners of 3 music shows (The Mask, You are Super, Superstar) perform, and vote giving 2 to 9 points to each other at every episode's end. So those sitting up there are the other singers, Diana sits with them when others perform. They got only one 9 point, one 8 point, etc. So they are forced to give 2 points to someone, and they wont vote for themselves. (She got 7x 9 points, 1x 8 points this round. The guest star of this episode gave 1 point to everyone equally)(72 total) In each round, the participants will be offered nine topics: for example, one will perform a folk song, the second - a song by a Grammy award winner, the third - a rock hit , etc. " The nine categories are: "People's Hit", "Song of the End of the 20th Century", "Soviet Song", "Hit from Every Iron", "Song of Your Choice", "New Music", "Song from a Movie or Cartoon", "Rock Hit" and "Songs of the Grammy Award Winners and Laureates".

This episode's guest star Yusif Eyvazov (opera singer, tenor, he stood up during the performance) said: "You know I'm struggling to articulate what I've felt. I've heard many music in my life, I sing along all over the world. I have seen a lot of concert halls and people, orchestra and musicians.... ....This girl got just an incredible talent hidden inside, and may God give that this talent gets into good hands, people who can do with it what she deserves in the future which Diana herself deserves."
Hello from France Great reaction! Diana is uncomparable. She's one of a kind! Your astonishment is not exceptional! Diana is an unique contralto (dramatic contralto) her range is C3-C6. Diana uses many vocal techniques rarely used in pop music (like overtones, yodel, and some from lyric chant....). The one that seems to amaze people the most is multitonal voice. The root notes are enriched with powerful harmonics which can give the impression that there are several overlapping voices or an artificial effect which gives this result. This technique is used in Slavic folk music, like Bulgarian vocal groups or artists like Pelageya (ru-vid.comvideos), the Russian folk diva. I cannot tell you exactly how these artists achieve this result, I was just told that it is linked to the simultaneous use of the different resonators of the human body and that such a mastery of the voice and of the breath with such a fluidity requires years of work, Diana has been singing on stage and has been taking singing and performing arts lessons since the age of 6! This broadcast is "You're Great!" ("You are Super"), a song contest reserved for children who have had a difficult start in life. This is the case of Diana who was mistreated and ended up in an orphanage at 3 years old. In her shows, Diana participates in the direction, direction and arrangements of her performances. She is a complete artist. In addition, her costumes were often designed and sewn by her mother and grandmother since she was 5.

The choice for the next reaction is simple. If you want more viewing, choose Diana's new songs from the new show. Last song - Mom, I'm Dancing If you are interested in Diana's strong performances in the past - Wicked Game, Human, Rechenka - you can start with these three. But there will be fewer views, many get tired of listening to the same songs for 2 years, even if they are the best.
You forgot to say that you got goose bumps when you listened to this track. And my congratulations, now you are also a fan of Great Diana, albeit belatedly.
