Diana was abused by her mother as a child and she was left at a bus stop, in winter, with a broken arm. She spent time in an orphanage and then was thankfully adopted. From the kindness and love of her adopted family, we get to marvel at this extraordinary talent.
Welcome to the wonderful world of "Queen of Goosebumps" - Diana Ankudinova. Every song she performs becomes the pinnacle of art. Diana has a unique voice - a dramatic contralto with very rare overtones, an inimitable timbre, an amazing stage presence! Diana is 20 years old (in this video she is 18 years old), she lives in Moscow, Russia, studies at Gitis - the Institute of Theatrical Art. She started singing at the age of 5 and has won more than 50 international competitions. She sings in any musical genre and has performed songs in her native language - Russian, as well as in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, German, Ukrainian. Truly a very rare and unsurpassed talent that appears once in several generations.
Alison, this performance took place on September 25, 2021, during the inaugural season of a new Russian vocal competition called the “ShowMaskGoOn!”, and Diana Ankudinova was only 18, in 2021 when this performance took place. For the new “ShowMaskGoOn” competition Diana’s performed Elvis Presley’s classic, “Can't Help Falling In Love”. In past interviews Diana has said she was not happy with her lack of a higher vocal range, and that lack kept her out of the more prestigious Russian music academies. Along with her voice teacher she decided to concentrate extensively on improving and developing her upper vocal range since vocal range helps to determine and define voice type. In 2017 when she was 13 years old, Diana’s vocal range was measured for the first time and at her vocal range then was measured from a low of D3 (lower alto range) to a high of A5 (mid to upper alto range), which was unusually low for a 13 year old girl. During the “Can’t Help Falling In Love” performance, her vocal range was again measured and Diana’s functional vocal range now goes from a low of C3 (male Tenor range) to a high of B♭5, (female Mezzo Soprano range). One of the common questions regarding Diana’s unique voice is, how does she do it? How does such a young female singer achieve such a low, rich, deep, profound, and resonant sound? Without actually scoping her vocal tract while she is producing those low notes to physically see what is happening within her vocal tract, the general conciseness of many vocal professionals is simply attributing Diana's ability to her winning the genetic lottery. Diana was just born with her unique vocal anatomy. Diana's vocal folds (vocal cords) appear to be longer and thicker than the vast majority of female singers. Her larynx, (voice box), likewise appears to be larger and similarly her pharynx, (throat), also appears to be longer than the vast majority of female singers, plus she has a large oral cavity (mouth). It’s this unique vocal anatomical structure that appears to give Diana Ankudinova the ability to produce the low, deep, rich, and full sounds she is known for, but without actually scoping her vocal track to verify, there is no way to be 100% sure. For this new the “ShowMaskGoOn!” competition, Diana’s one of her performances was her cover of Elvis Presley’s classic, “Can't Help Falling In Love”, and it showed what many vocal professionals have been saying since Diana was 14, that based on Diana’s previous vocal competition’s, and concerts, she has now developed into what many believed she always was, a true contralto voice type. For those that do not know what a contralto voice type is, a contralto is the lowest, and deepest type of female voice, and a true contralto is very, very rare. Just to be clear, there are 3 recognized Contralto voice types: a) Coloratura Contralto: The coloratura contralto has a light, agile voice ranging very high for the classification and atypically maintains extensive coloratura and high sustaining notes, specializing in florid passages and leaps. b) Lyric Contralto: The lyric contralto voice is lighter than a dramatic contralto but not capable of the ornamentation and leaps of a coloratura contralto. This class of contralto, lighter in timbre than the others. c) Dramatic Contralto: The dramatic contralto is the deepest, darkest, and heaviest contralto voice, usually having a heavier tone and more power than the others. Singers in this classification are very rare. During the opening of “Can’t Help Falling In Love” Diana’s low Lyric Contralto voice is on full display. The Coloratura Contralto improvement to her upper range is also on display during the middle portion of this performance. Finally, the depth and power of Diana’s voice during the final section define her as not just a Contralto, but as a “Dramatic Contralto” voice type, and a Dramatic Contralto has the lowest, deepest, darkest, richest sound and it is the most powerful of the contralto voice types and is the rarest of the very rare Contralto voice types. At the end of this performance, the full power of her Dramatic Contralto voice is on full display for everyone to hear. It’s not just how low she can go. It’s in the exceptional quality of her tone in her upper range but especially in her lower range that makes her so very special. It's in the roundness, fullness, and depth of her sound, along with her ability to create, access, and use an enormous amount of resonance. Diana has also a mastered a vocal technique known as polyphonic singing. Having mastered the polyphonic singing technique gives Diana the ability to create 1, and up to 2 different tones at the same time which adds to the harmonic overtones and can sound an octave, or an octave and a half above. It’s this polyphonic singing ability that can make it sound like more than one person singing which is why sometimes people mistakenly believe Diana Ankudinova is using some form of artificial voice manipulation like Auto Tune, or she is using pitch correction software to alter or adjust her sound. Others believe another person is singing off stage in the background. Diana has been accused of lip-syncing over a previously recorded vocal track that was altered or modified. There is NO artificial manipulation of Diana's voice at all, and no one else is singing off stage, nor is she lip-syncing to a vocal track. What you are hearing in the background is a backing for the track musical score, along with a choir also on a backing tracks that’s used to fill in and round out the performance. Diana Ankudinova, and only Diana Ankudinova is actually singing Can't Help Falling In Love. Now, during the “ShowMaskGoOn” Diana was competing against 8 other professional singers, Diana being the 9th competitor. Diana and the other singer's also doubled as judges for this competition which was televised over nine weeks, one singer per week for the entirety of the 9 weeks. Diana and the other professional singers/judges were competing against each other, and based on their individual performances they awarded judging points to each other. Each week a different singer took center stage and performed a different song over each of the nine weeks using a different genre of music, and a different style for each song performed. The ShowMaskGoOn! concluded on November 20, 2021, and during Diana’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love” performance, the judge on the top row who was the first to stand is a well known Russian opera tenor, Yusif Eyvazov from Azerbaijan. He was invited to participate as a special guest judge for this inaugural competition. At the end of Diana's performance she receives a standing ovation from all her fellow competitors. One of those competitors is a well-known contemporary Russian singer, Julia Parshuta. Julia is in the center row dressed in in red, and looks totally lost at the end of Diana's performance. She puts both hands on top of her head, and looks totally shocked, and bewildered. Finally, The Show Must Go On competition concluded with Diana Ankudinova being awarded the most judging points over the total of 9 weeks, and was declared the competition winner!
Это одна из немногих реакций простогого слушателя, который честно и открыто не скрывал и не наигрывал свои чувства перед нами, с головой погрузившись в тот всепоглощающий Мир, который Диана от всей Души и глубины своего Сердца воспроизвела волшебно-магическим образом своего Таланта! Благодарю вас за такую щедрую ❤ честность!
What you felt watching this performance is not just a one time thing that happend when the stars aligned, it is a constant, it is the Diana effect, she was only 18 years old when she sang this. You can say that Diana's voice is the rarest of the rare jewels that exist on this Earth, her natural voice is deep, her vocal type is Contralto, that is the deepest and rarest female vocal type (it is the rarest even if we include the male vocal types), further more she is classified as a Dramatic Contralto which is the deepest, darkest and most powerful of the contraltos (which is even rarer), she is also polyphonic she is able to resonate with herself producing more than one notes in different registers that gives the effect of hearing multiple voices connected in one huge voice when she sings, very few people can utilize this ability like she does, this is the main reason on why people always get goosebumps when they hear her sing (thus the nickname Queen of goosebumps). Her range in also crazy for her age, it is about 4 octaves and she can easily switch between any note there on the fly because her vocal agility is insane, her unique tinbre is unheard of once you hear her there is no way that you will be able to forget it. So she is a Contralto that can fully cover the range from the male Tenor up to both Mezzo and Soprano female vocal types and we will see her evolve way more because she is just 20 years old, a Contralto's voice is considered young even at the age of 30. Of course she has mastered her vocal instrument like no other, you will see her do things with her voice that you would thought that they are impossible. The power of her voice is unbelivable too she can belt continuisly like aforce of nature, if you stand in front of her while she is at it there is agood chance you will be blown away. But at the end of the day no matter how much anyone talks about her technical skills the number one most impressive thing about her is her magical ability to transport the listener to her own world of music, her artistry on the stage is unprecedented she goes in to a trance when she sings as she immerses herself and becomes the song itself, you will often find your self glued to her every gesture even if you do not understand the language you are listening to and she has sang in a lot of them English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Russian it does not matter because you always get the full experience from just watching her art. You should search for her life's story it is very inspirational and you will understand why she is so humble and so down to earth. So have a good time discovering this generational talent, This is what a true genius in her field looks like, it really does not even matter what you choose to hear from her, you will not find a single song that will not leave you with your mouth open, her voice is a drug once you get hooked it is game over, other voices would not be able to scratch the itch of not hearing her sing. If you are interested to follow her journey i can compile a mail for you with a chronological order of her most important performances, they are quite a lot because honestly being flawless is her middle name.
I absolutely love this! Thank you! I’m usually too lost to think of the correct terms, but I too am a contralto! I used to sing the low harmonies in my schools show choir, and only just recently learned what catagory my voice sits in! I felt utterly caught in her spell and at her will. Truly nothing I’ve experienced in my life before in such a way! I have another video of hers coming too! (A Chris Isaac cover😉) and I can say I’m entirely hooked on her! I cannot believe how lucky we are to get to watch her grow into her voice and see how life experience changes her or affects her. Amazing. Amazing.
@@AlisonReactsYes "Wicked Game" great choice, but then again everything from Diana is a great choice and no I am not exaggerating. You should listen to all of her performances on that competition when she was 14 and 15 years old all of them are masterpieces and I have everything translated so do not worry about the language barriers.
Your reaction was the same as mine, it made me cry when I heard it...welcome magical world of the most beautiful and powerful voice on earth, that of Diana Ankudinova...there are hundreds of videos of her, please don't stop reacting to more...she is one of the most extraordinary voices you have ever heard...she is not from this world!! ❤
Для первого просмотра выступлений Дианы это нормальная реакция для человека понимающего музыку!!! Вам нужно познакомится ближе с творчеством этой прекрасной певицы!!! Спасибо вам!!!
Her joy and humility, her focus on her art are a wonderful combination with such a unique and beautiful voice. We are so fortunate to be alive to hear her and watch her grow, perfecting her art for art's sake. And to discover that this is her first appearance in a professional contest, the youngest of the competitors, is a surprise, too. But it was no surprise to find that she did win. I hope this is just the beginning of your journey to discover her talents. It will all be worth it! Thanks again. 👍
Эта красавица из Австралии безусловно находится на своём месте - и очень хорошо делает то, что делает. Она умеет полностью погружаться в музыку - и умеет адекватно выражать свои ощущения. Отличные комментарии. Самое существенное из того, что она сказала - это "контроль" (захват внимания, управление). Диана Анкудинова в этом выступлении, как и в некоторых других лучших своих номерах делает именно это: она полностью управляет вашим вниманием, она как будто подчиняет слушателя своему властному голосу, захватывает его своими эмоциями, поражает своей энергией. Собственно, об этом и мечтает любой настоящий артист - увлечь, захватить, а в идеале - подчинить себе всех, кто ему внимает. Но это в идеале; в реальности это удаётся далеко не всем и далеко не всегда. Диане Анкудиновой в таком впечатляющем виде это удавалось каждый раз, когда происходило удачное сочетание нескольких факторов. Подходящая музыка, правильная адаптации этой музыки к её возможностям, умение тех, кто готовит с ней выступление, извлечь из неё максимум возможного в данный момент. Так было в "Реченьке", так было в "Can't Help Falling in Love", так было в "Я тебя отвоюю", так было на шоу Ханса Циммера. Такие выступления запоминаются надолго, к ним всегда можно возвратиться - хотя бы для того, чтобы напомнить себе в очередной раз, с каким феноменальным артистом вы имеете дело. Номеров подобного уровня у неё становится всё больше; никто не сомневается, что в новом году она ещё не раз сделает с нами то, о чём сказала чуткая слушательница из Австралии : захватит внимание, подчинит своей воле, заставит переслушивать себя сотни раз. Именно этого и ждут поклонники от любимого артиста...
Diana Ankudinova has a team of volunteer (human) translators that provide captions for her videos in many languages. You’re not getting weird machine mistranslations 🙂
The most amazing thing is that, listening to Diana at the age of 10 with your eyes closed, you would never think that a child was singing! Moreover, this child remembers foreign speech by ear, has the courage of an adult to perform on stage and sings so hard that it gives you goosebumps.At 10 years old, the repertoire includes more than 100 songs and more than 20 victories in competitions.👈👀👻
She deconstructs everything we thought w3 knew as beautiful. Her timbre peels back the facade and shows you anew solid truth of sound. Also play this loud on good speakers in a large room. Her voice is a full body experience.
Давно не досматривала это видео до комментариев её коллег) Тут такие крупные планы) Диана ещё такая малышка, с детскими щёчками) Как в ней всё это укладывается- непостижимо.
I watched the reactions of musicians around the world. The truth about your reaction was the best because of the way your sincere feeling appeared on your face and your tears were the most beautiful description of the performance and the wonderful voice.🌹
Bienvenida al Diana's world. Didi está sobre los escenarios desde los 6 años de edad. Hay un sinfín de presentaciones y una Pléyade de premios ganados en sus páginas oficiales. Vé sus videos y descubrirás algo inimaginable. Y todo se origina en ese joven y sencillo organismo llamado Diana, Np hay autotunes ni nada que lo pueda mejorar o demeritar.
Welcome to the magical, mystical world of Princess Diana, The Goddess Voice of Nature. Enjoy your journey. She is a true Contralto and Polyphonic. BTW, her name is pronounced Dee aah na An coo DEE nova.
Yes, some say she came from another galaxy! Diana was a toddler when he rendered a jury of "mastitis experts" speechless and blew the audience away. Since then, Diana has been singing, delighting and surprising the listener. Millions of views, comments, numerous concerts. As a result, the so-called "Dianomania" continues on the planet. They call her "The Queen of goosebumps", for others she is "Shamanka", "Dochenka", but the fact is that for millions of viewers she is simply Diana - the singer with the most recognizable voice, every time presenting new surprises and challenging, analysis, debate and admiration.Thank you for the great response! Your face says it all.
The woman in the red dress who commented on Diana's performance is Julia Parshuta. Recently, she participated with Diana in another TV show called "Duets". In this TV show, two contestants sing together. But there is a mirrored wall between them. And none of them knows who is standing next to this wall. At the same time, the voice in the headphones of each of the participants has also been changed beyond recognition. The two participants realize who is singing a duet with him only when the mirrored wall rises and they see each other. It's a lot of fun. ua-cam.com/video/1A6sICBukb8/v-deo.html
Diana is magical. 18 years old here. Polite, humble and totally unique. I've followed her from Texas for many years now. She just performed the DUNE movie soundtrack with a live orchestra that is, well...alien. You can find it on her official UA-cam channel named "Diana Ankudinova Life". Diana is 20 years old today, in the last year of University studies...The Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS) in Moscow. Ankoo-DEAN-ova. Enjoyed your video. Happy New Year. 🥂
Ура! Огромное вам спасибо за потрясающую реакцию! Так радостно за вас)))) потому что вы наверняка заинтересуетесь ещё больше выступлениями Дианы, и значит впервые увидите столько невероятного от Неё!)))) ура!
You are such an aware and wonderful person!!! You can only feel the beauty of her if you see that in yourself. That is the gift. I am very grateful that you are on the Earth with all of us! thank you!!!
Its amazing how many people say Diana's voice literally takes their breath away. She is from another world. ❤ Edit: Thank you DO much fir showing the judges' comments at the end. Almost all the reaction videos leave them out, but it's interesting to hear how you reacted to these! Hi from the uk 🇬🇧💝
This performance was my first exposure to this phenomenal singer. She is now my favorite - I can't get enough of her voice. Such a dear and charming girl, as well. Yes, watching her develop is truly a privilege. Diana just did a blind duet with the pretty girl in the red dress (Yulia Parchuta) that was fantastic and really fun to watch, especially since they became friends on this show. I really enjoyed your reaction. I can relate to how you seemed to feel.
She's 18 here , 9 songs they are all pros they judge each other they have to perform folk rock dance pop , she's been performing since she was a little girl very sad and tragic childhood but her adopted mother saved this angel 😇💪🔥
Diana has this unique ability to feel the music and help you feel what she feels. I frequently have the same emotional moment you had when I listen to her. Yes, it is pure magic and I love it. For more, you should check out her "Spirit of Biakal" and her performance of a song from the new Dune movie.
Добро пожаловать в мир Дианы! Диана - уникальная и неповторимая певица! Невероятное выступление Дианы! Просто потрясающее! Диана победила в этом шоу! И отличная позитивная реакция! Диане - браво, а за реакцию - лайк и спасибо! И отдельное спасибо за добрые слова в адрес Дианы! Welcome to Diana's world! Diana is a unique and inimitable singer! Incredible performance by Diana! Simply amazing! Diana won this show! And a great positive reaction! Diana - bravo, and for the reaction - like and thank you! And special thanks for the kind words addressed to Diana!
I agree with all of the comments....and in the comments there is a lot of great information. I will add a few things. Diana's backstory is truly amazing....there is a video out there that chronicles her life story and her feelings at the time (she was around 14 at that time). She was devastatingly abused by her mother at a very young age, and was abandoned at a train station with a broken collar bone at age 3. She was taken to her aunt, but as the child could not speak and was unwanted, she ended up in an orphanage. She had severe issues speaking, and noticing her singing to cartoons, they decided to use singing lessons as a means of speech therapy, and found she had a flawless sense of tone. A message therapist at the orphanage fell in love with sweet diana, and along with the urging of her other child, adopted Diana. They eventually moved to another city, as Diana was haunted by fears of her birth mother kidnapping her. The other aspect is what she is doing now. Diana performs a ton, and is starting to make her own music. "In my huge city" is my favorite of her recent songs, it is a poem written by a famous Russian poet who (like all poets LOL) suffered from mental issues, especially insomnia. The song is about wandering the city while being unable to sleep. She has also released other singles, did a movie soundtrack, and most recently performed with a symphony orchestra reviewing the works of Hans Zimmer...Diana performed two songs, the best of which is the Dune soundtrack. Thanks for reacting to one of my favoirite singers (along with Aurora, Eivor, and the band Heilung).
Excellent reaction. Thanks for reacting to Diana. She is known as the "Queen of goosebumps" I love your reactions you always give your honest and humble opinion of the songs you react to. Diana in that performance was 18 years old, currently she is 20 years old. Check out the song "No Time To Die" by Diana, it is one of her most recent performances by her. She sang it at a concert in honor of Hans Zimmer. The concert was called: "Art of Hans Zimmer" in that concert Diana performed 3 times. Here I send you the link to "No Time To Die" ua-cam.com/video/gmV5CQkZ3Lw/v-deo.htmlsi=YdUAjRqB5uVk2dWI
Hello. Welcome to the magical mystery tour of universes that Diana creates. Yes, she creates many different universes with each performance. You are correct. Diana can't be placed into any category. She is her own category. You asked about her name. I'm sorry, but I only speak American. In American, her name would be pronounced: deeAHnah ahnkoo-DEEnohvah - the capital letters are the emphasized syllables. Diana is not only a great artist. She is also a wonderful person. You can learn something of her life on Wikipedia.
Bienvenido al club de los que han quedado embriagados con su vos, belleza, carisma, por su magistral interpretación, talento y por todo su humildad 🥰 gracias por tu sinceridad al reaccionar q "nuestra Diana",🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Добро пожаловать в мир 💎Дианы💎!!! Спасибо за реакцию на 💎Диану Анкудинову💎!!! Лайк!!! 👍👍👍👍👍 Welcome to the world of 💎Diana💎!!! Thank you for your reaction to 💎Diana Ankudinova💎!!! Like!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Wicked games and rechenka is when she was 14. Tyty for the great Diana rabbit hole❤ awesome reaction. I felt the same way first hearing her. ❤❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Welcome to the Siren's cove, you have listened to a voice for the ages. I'm 50, never heard anything like it before finding her. As a judge said, unbelievable talent. And as you watch more of her you will see there is substance and true humanity behind it. She is a very hard working and honest artist that throws her own emotions into her performances, to the point of draining herself, possibly. I imagine she is physically exausted when she does something like this.
Спасибо Алисон за реакцию! Вы красивая женщина! Добро пожаловать в мир " Королевы мурашек" Дианы Анкудиновой! Каждая песня в исполнении Дианы это шедевр!
Hello, thank you for this great, emotional reaction to this epic performance. I hope to see more reactions to "Divine Diana Diva", as I like to call her. All the best and greetings from Germany to Australia. 🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻
Although Diana was only 18 when she gave this performance, she was already a superstar. She had been repeatedly honoured by her country and the original videos of her performances on the Russian station NTV in "Your are Super" 2018 and 2019 - now taken down consequent to the YT/Russia spat - had received hundreds of millions of views. Her musical journey, from her very first performances when she was 6 or so to the present is very well documented by several hundred videos on YT. To be able by this means to watch her grow as a person and as an artist is a very remarkable pleasure. She is a genius, an absolute force of nature who has been giving brilliant, compelling, and hugely satisfying performances since she was 10. In part because it is the festive season, to anyone interested in following her development, I especially recommend the little known but sublime and heartbreakingly beautiful performance of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" that she gave in front of a Christmas Tree in her home when she was 10. ua-cam.com/video/cu5mONsdZzw/v-deo.htmlsi=ok_pbhyvYQkSbaWG

ORIGINAL SONG is FRENCH. Here, this is Tommee PROFITT's version. Joan Baez sings in 1960 french/english, My grandmother sang this song in French in 1920. Elvis Presley adapted the melody and he changed the words "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" in the 1961 movie, Blue Hawaii. Elvis is one of many people who have covered this song ! ORIGINAL SONG is French ! It's a romance "PLAISIR D'AMOUR". Music composed in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Egide Martini. Queen Marie-Antoinette, king Louis XVI wife, in France, sang this song at the Château de Versailles before the Revolution!
Господь, положил КРЕСТ любви и добра на грудь девочки по имени Диана. Она несёт этот крест всю свою пока небольшую жизнь с Достоинством и Честью народа РУССКОГО. Эта маленькая, красивая девушка Велика также, как ВЕЛИКА и ПРЕКРАСНА РОССИЯ. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lord, put the CROSS of love and kindness on the chest of a girl named Diana.

Спасибо большое за такую прекрасную и искреннюю реакцию 👍🙏. Если бы Жизнь звучала, то она имела голос Дианы. Свет, Жизнь, Милосердие. Если можно, то отреагируйте на кавер Луи Армстронга - этот прекрасный мир. Там вы услышите совсем другую Диану.
Greetings from Scotland! I've heard so many people butcher her name, believe me, that pronunciation was fine! 😊 A beautiful young (18 here) lady with a difficult surname and an angelic voice! You need her backstory to understand what helped to "create" this young vocal phenomenon! Diana is 20yo currently but I've been following her since she was around 13yo. Diana is a natural Dramatic Contralto so the lower registers are her comfort zone but she now has a 5 octave range and it's increasing. She also naturally sings with polyphonic overtones so it sounds like many voices at the same time! Diana's birthmother had multiple miscarriages but when Diana came along, she seemed to hate her. She verbally and physically abused her, trying to drown her and belittle her. It all culminated when (at 3yo) a passing relative found her in her home with a broken collarbone and several other injuries. She went for the authorities who removed Diana from her birthmothers care and placed her in an orphanage. For almost 2 years Diana never gave up hope and she knew that she was meant for something better. (This story is in her Wikipedia entry) Finally her new mother (Irina Ponik, who worked as a masseuse there occasionally) Signed her adoption papers and took her home. She vowed to pay Irina back for her kindness. Irina had a real struggle because Diana had obviously been badly affected by the experiences and at 5yo, she had a very bad stammer. It was recommended that she be taken for singing lessons to help this and immediately it was recognised that Diana had perfect pitch and an excellent ear for music and songs. 1 year later, at 6yo, Diana was performing solo on stage! This young unique phenomenon sang everywhere and anywhere she could, working constantly to earn money for the family who rescued her. At 13yo she held her 1st solo concert and one of the songs she sang was in a very rare Sephardic Jewish/Spanish dialect, a song called "Me Voy" (I'm leaving) with a power and emotional commitment that staggers belief! ua-cam.com/video/-9_c5fPrqno/v-deo.html She was already winning every contest in Russia and other countries that she could get to. Then at 14yo Diana took part in an amazing Russian project "You're Super!" for abandoned/disadvantaged children (because Diana spent time in an orphanage) The 1st song she performed shocked the judges and audience so much, it went viral. February 10, 2018 "Dernière Danse" in French ua-cam.com/video/TvNIXBjaDxI/v-deo.html Diana has already sung in *7 languages, Russian, English, French, Spanish, German, Ukrainian and Arabic!!!* The rest, as they say, is now history!.............
This was the final performance of the night of the first show of a 9 week singing show with 9 singers performing each week and also judging each other. Diana was voted the winner on this first night and was voted the winner of the 9 week show. She was 18 years old at the time, 20 now. Diana had a difficult childhood. She spent about 1.5 years in an orphanage.

They likely let her go first just because she was the youngest in the competition. Same thing happened with Dimash in China; youngest goes first, blows EVERYBODY away, sets the bar REALLY HIGH for the entire season and SOMEBODY had to be un-lucky enough to follow that performance. lol
@@jamescurfman3284 On this first night of the show, she went last. The presenter said it was the final performance before the voting. The producers knew what she could do and saved her to close out the show.
Here's the show. Her part began at 1:33:30. This one includes the scoring and an encore performance of the song by Diana since she was the winner. ua-cam.com/video/3IBE3EaZpak/v-deo.htmlsi=E9I9Bh9ucSjQO6Nq&t=5611@@jamescurfman3284
Diana was abused by her mother as a child and she was left at a bus stop, in winter, with a broken arm. She spent time in an orphanage and then was thankfully adopted. From the kindness and love of her adopted family, we get to marvel at this extraordinary talent.
Welcome to the wonderful world of "Queen of Goosebumps" - Diana Ankudinova. Every song she performs becomes the pinnacle of art. Diana has a unique voice - a dramatic contralto with very rare overtones, an inimitable timbre, an amazing stage presence! Diana is 20 years old (in this video she is 18 years old), she lives in Moscow, Russia, studies at Gitis - the Institute of Theatrical Art. She started singing at the age of 5 and has won more than 50 international competitions. She sings in any musical genre and has performed songs in her native language - Russian, as well as in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, German, Ukrainian. Truly a very rare and unsurpassed talent that appears once in several generations.
Алисон,вы умнейшая и очень красивая женщина,спасибо за объект ивную реакцию на Диану.Привет из России!!!❤
Alison, this performance took place on September 25, 2021, during the inaugural season of a new Russian vocal competition called the “ShowMaskGoOn!”, and Diana Ankudinova was only 18, in 2021 when this performance took place. For the new “ShowMaskGoOn” competition Diana’s performed Elvis Presley’s classic, “Can't Help Falling In Love”.
In past interviews Diana has said she was not happy with her lack of a higher vocal range, and that lack kept her out of the more prestigious Russian music academies. Along with her voice teacher she decided to concentrate extensively on improving and developing her upper vocal range since vocal range helps to determine and define voice type. In 2017 when she was 13 years old, Diana’s vocal range was measured for the first time and at her vocal range then was measured from a low of D3 (lower alto range) to a high of A5 (mid to upper alto range), which was unusually low for a 13 year old girl. During the “Can’t Help Falling In Love” performance, her vocal range was again measured and Diana’s functional vocal range now goes from a low of C3 (male Tenor range) to a high of B♭5, (female Mezzo Soprano range).
One of the common questions regarding Diana’s unique voice is, how does she do it? How does such a young female singer achieve such a low, rich, deep, profound, and resonant sound? Without actually scoping her vocal tract while she is producing those low notes to physically see what is happening within her vocal tract, the general conciseness of many vocal professionals is simply attributing Diana's ability to her winning the genetic lottery. Diana was just born with her unique vocal anatomy. Diana's vocal folds (vocal cords) appear to be longer and thicker than the vast majority of female singers. Her larynx, (voice box), likewise appears to be larger and similarly her pharynx, (throat), also appears to be longer than the vast majority of female singers, plus she has a large oral cavity (mouth). It’s this unique vocal anatomical structure that appears to give Diana Ankudinova the ability to produce the low, deep, rich, and full sounds she is known for, but without actually scoping her vocal track to verify, there is no way to be 100% sure.
For this new the “ShowMaskGoOn!” competition, Diana’s one of her performances was her cover of Elvis Presley’s classic, “Can't Help Falling In Love”, and it showed what many vocal professionals have been saying since Diana was 14, that based on Diana’s previous vocal competition’s, and concerts, she has now developed into what many believed she always was, a true contralto voice type. For those that do not know what a contralto voice type is, a contralto is the lowest, and deepest type of female voice, and a true contralto is very, very rare. Just to be clear, there are 3 recognized Contralto voice types:
a) Coloratura Contralto: The coloratura contralto has a light, agile voice ranging very high for the classification and atypically maintains extensive coloratura and high sustaining notes, specializing in florid passages and leaps.
b) Lyric Contralto: The lyric contralto voice is lighter than a dramatic contralto but not capable of the ornamentation and leaps of a coloratura contralto. This class of contralto, lighter in timbre than the others.
c) Dramatic Contralto: The dramatic contralto is the deepest, darkest, and heaviest contralto voice, usually having a heavier tone and more power than the others. Singers in this classification are very rare.
During the opening of “Can’t Help Falling In Love” Diana’s low Lyric Contralto voice is on full display. The Coloratura Contralto improvement to her upper range is also on display during the middle portion of this performance. Finally, the depth and power of Diana’s voice during the final section define her as not just a Contralto, but as a “Dramatic Contralto” voice type, and a Dramatic Contralto has the lowest, deepest, darkest, richest sound and it is the most powerful of the contralto voice types and is the rarest of the very rare Contralto voice types. At the end of this performance, the full power of her Dramatic Contralto voice is on full display for everyone to hear. It’s not just how low she can go. It’s in the exceptional quality of her tone in her upper range but especially in her lower range that makes her so very special. It's in the roundness, fullness, and depth of her sound, along with her ability to create, access, and use an enormous amount of resonance.
Diana has also a mastered a vocal technique known as polyphonic singing. Having mastered the polyphonic singing technique gives Diana the ability to create 1, and up to 2 different tones at the same time which adds to the harmonic overtones and can sound an octave, or an octave and a half above. It’s this polyphonic singing ability that can make it sound like more than one person singing which is why sometimes people mistakenly believe Diana Ankudinova is using some form of artificial voice manipulation like Auto Tune, or she is using pitch correction software to alter or adjust her sound. Others believe another person is singing off stage in the background. Diana has been accused of lip-syncing over a previously recorded vocal track that was altered or modified. There is NO artificial manipulation of Diana's voice at all, and no one else is singing off stage, nor is she lip-syncing to a vocal track. What you are hearing in the background is a backing for the track musical score, along with a choir also on a backing tracks that’s used to fill in and round out the performance. Diana Ankudinova, and only Diana Ankudinova is actually singing Can't Help Falling In Love.
Now, during the “ShowMaskGoOn” Diana was competing against 8 other professional singers, Diana being the 9th competitor. Diana and the other singer's also doubled as judges for this competition which was televised over nine weeks, one singer per week for the entirety of the 9 weeks. Diana and the other professional singers/judges were competing against each other, and based on their individual performances they awarded judging points to each other. Each week a different singer took center stage and performed a different song over each of the nine weeks using a different genre of music, and a different style for each song performed.
The ShowMaskGoOn! concluded on November 20, 2021, and during Diana’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love” performance, the judge on the top row who was the first to stand is a well known Russian opera tenor, Yusif Eyvazov from Azerbaijan. He was invited to participate as a special guest judge for this inaugural competition. At the end of Diana's performance she receives a standing ovation from all her fellow competitors. One of those competitors is a well-known contemporary Russian singer, Julia Parshuta. Julia is in the center row dressed in in red, and looks totally lost at the end of Diana's performance. She puts both hands on top of her head, and looks totally shocked, and bewildered. Finally, The Show Must Go On competition concluded with Diana Ankudinova being awarded the most judging points over the total of 9 weeks, and was declared the competition winner!
Wonderful reaction, thank you. Loved your tears; a perfect response to a miraculous voice.
Diana is the best thing I've ever heard in my life
The best of the best of the best is Diana Ankudinova ❤
Благодарю за вашу изумительную реакцию!!!
Это одна из немногих реакций простогого слушателя, который честно и открыто не скрывал и не наигрывал свои чувства перед нами, с головой погрузившись в тот всепоглощающий Мир, который Диана от всей Души и глубины своего Сердца воспроизвела волшебно-магическим образом своего Таланта!
Благодарю вас за такую щедрую ❤ честность!
What you felt watching this performance is not just a one time thing that happend when the stars aligned, it is a constant, it is the Diana effect, she was only 18 years old when she sang this.
You can say that Diana's voice is the rarest of the rare jewels that exist on this Earth, her natural voice is deep, her vocal type is Contralto, that is the deepest and rarest female vocal type (it is the rarest even if we include the male vocal types), further more she is classified as a Dramatic Contralto which is the deepest, darkest and most powerful of the contraltos (which is even rarer), she is also polyphonic she is able to resonate with herself producing more than one notes in different registers that gives the effect of hearing multiple voices connected in one huge voice when she sings, very few people can utilize this ability like she does, this is the main reason on why people always get goosebumps when they hear her sing (thus the nickname Queen of goosebumps).
Her range in also crazy for her age, it is about 4 octaves and she can easily switch between any note there on the fly because her vocal agility is insane, her unique tinbre is unheard of once you hear her there is no way that you will be able to forget it.
So she is a Contralto that can fully cover the range from the male Tenor up to both Mezzo and Soprano female vocal types and we will see her evolve way more because she is just 20 years old, a Contralto's voice is considered young even at the age of 30.
Of course she has mastered her vocal instrument like no other, you will see her do things with her voice that you would thought that they are impossible.
The power of her voice is unbelivable too she can belt continuisly like aforce of nature, if you stand in front of her while she is at it there is agood chance you will be blown away.
But at the end of the day no matter how much anyone talks about her technical skills the number one most impressive thing about her is her magical ability to transport the listener to her own world of music, her artistry on the stage is unprecedented she goes in to a trance when she sings as she immerses herself and becomes the song itself, you will often find your self glued to her every gesture even if you do not understand the language you are listening to and she has sang in a lot of them English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Russian it does not matter because you always get the full experience from just watching her art.
You should search for her life's story it is very inspirational and you will understand why she is so humble and so down to earth.
So have a good time discovering this generational talent, This is what a true genius in her field looks like, it really does not even matter what you choose to hear from her, you will not find a single song that will not leave you with your mouth open, her voice is a drug once you get hooked it is game over, other voices would not be able to scratch the itch of not hearing her sing.
If you are interested to follow her journey i can compile a mail for you with a chronological order of her most important performances, they are quite a lot because honestly being flawless is her middle name.
I absolutely love this! Thank you! I’m usually too lost to think of the correct terms, but I too am a contralto! I used to sing the low harmonies in my schools show choir, and only just recently learned what catagory my voice sits in!
I felt utterly caught in her spell and at her will. Truly nothing I’ve experienced in my life before in such a way!
I have another video of hers coming too! (A Chris Isaac cover😉) and I can say I’m entirely hooked on her! I cannot believe how lucky we are to get to watch her grow into her voice and see how life experience changes her or affects her.
Amazing.
Amazing.
@@AlisonReactsYes "Wicked Game" great choice, but then again everything from Diana is a great choice and no I am not exaggerating.
You should listen to all of her performances on that competition when she was 14 and 15 years old all of them are masterpieces and I have everything translated so do not worry about the language barriers.
Надеюсь, когда-нибудь в мире останется лишь один наркотик- голос Дианы) Было бы здорово!)

Her joy and humility, her focus on her art are a wonderful combination with such a unique and beautiful voice. We are so fortunate to be alive to hear her and watch her grow, perfecting her art for art's sake. And to discover that this is her first appearance in a professional contest, the youngest of the competitors, is a surprise, too. But it was no surprise to find that she did win. I hope this is just the beginning of your journey to discover her talents. It will all be worth it! Thanks again. 👍
Эта красавица из Австралии безусловно находится на своём месте - и очень хорошо делает то, что делает. Она умеет полностью погружаться в музыку - и умеет адекватно выражать свои ощущения. Отличные комментарии. Самое существенное из того, что она сказала - это "контроль" (захват внимания, управление). Диана Анкудинова в этом выступлении, как и в некоторых других лучших своих номерах делает именно это: она полностью управляет вашим вниманием, она как будто подчиняет слушателя своему властному голосу, захватывает его своими эмоциями, поражает своей энергией. Собственно, об этом и мечтает любой настоящий артист - увлечь, захватить, а в идеале - подчинить себе всех, кто ему внимает. Но это в идеале; в реальности это удаётся далеко не всем и далеко не всегда. Диане Анкудиновой в таком впечатляющем виде это удавалось каждый раз, когда происходило удачное сочетание нескольких факторов. Подходящая музыка, правильная адаптации этой музыки к её возможностям, умение тех, кто готовит с ней выступление, извлечь из неё максимум возможного в данный момент. Так было в "Реченьке", так было в "Can't Help Falling in Love", так было в "Я тебя отвоюю", так было на шоу Ханса Циммера. Такие выступления запоминаются надолго, к ним всегда можно возвратиться - хотя бы для того, чтобы напомнить себе в очередной раз, с каким феноменальным артистом вы имеете дело. Номеров подобного уровня у неё становится всё больше; никто не сомневается, что в новом году она ещё не раз сделает с нами то, о чём сказала чуткая слушательница из Австралии : захватит внимание, подчинит своей воле, заставит переслушивать себя сотни раз. Именно этого и ждут поклонники от любимого артиста...
Михаил, как всегда Вы шикарны своих комментах! 👍👍👍

Welcome to the world of Diana Ankudinova! She is endlessly amazing, endlessly surprising!
Diana Ankudinova has a team of volunteer (human) translators that provide captions for her videos in many languages. You’re not getting weird machine mistranslations 🙂
There is definitely something unique about Diana. Everything she sings is amazing and her backstory is amazing as well
all these judges, are singers themselves, she did win this!
The Queen of Goosebumps❤❤❤❤ Beautiful Diana, you have to listen to Wicked Games, Human, Just listen to Diana's music ,, It's out of this world🌍
Эту композицию в её исполнении можно слушать бесконечное количество раз и каждый раз восторгаться её талантом
Спасибо за внимание к творчеству Дианы Анкудиновой.
The most amazing thing is that, listening to Diana at the age of 10 with your eyes closed, you would never think that a child was singing! Moreover, this child remembers foreign speech by ear, has the courage of an adult to perform on stage and sings so hard that it gives you goosebumps.At 10 years old, the repertoire includes more than 100 songs and more than 20 victories in competitions.👈👀👻

She deconstructs everything we thought w3 knew as beautiful. Her timbre peels back the facade and shows you anew solid truth of sound. Also play this loud on good speakers in a large room. Her voice is a full body experience.

Алисон, твоя душа прекрасна! Диана Анкудинова!!!
Yes, some say she came from another galaxy! Diana was a toddler when he rendered a jury of "mastitis experts" speechless and blew the audience away. Since then, Diana has been singing, delighting and surprising the listener. Millions of views, comments, numerous concerts. As a result, the so-called "Dianomania" continues on the planet. They call her "The Queen of goosebumps", for others she is "Shamanka", "Dochenka", but the fact is that for millions of viewers she is simply Diana - the singer with the most recognizable voice, every time presenting new surprises and challenging, analysis, debate and admiration.Thank you for the great response! Your face says it all.
Дианочка величайшая певица современности! Супер звезда! Красатуличка наша Супер! Королева мурашек Супер девочка!
Люблю всех, кто любит Диану Анкудинову!!!
Мы тебя то же любим. Это взаимно.

The woman in the red dress who commented on Diana's performance is Julia Parshuta. Recently, she participated with Diana in another TV show called "Duets". In this TV show, two contestants sing together. But there is a mirrored wall between them. And none of them knows who is standing next to this wall. At the same time, the voice in the headphones of each of the participants has also been changed beyond recognition. The two participants realize who is singing a duet with him only when the mirrored wall rises and they see each other. It's a lot of fun. ua-cam.com/video/1A6sICBukb8/v-deo.html
Diana is magical. 18 years old here. Polite, humble and totally unique. I've followed her from Texas for many years now. She just performed the DUNE movie soundtrack with a live orchestra that is, well...alien. You can find it on her official UA-cam channel named "Diana Ankudinova Life". Diana is 20 years old today, in the last year of University studies...The Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS) in Moscow. Ankoo-DEAN-ova. Enjoyed your video. Happy New Year. 🥂

This performance was my first exposure to this phenomenal singer. She is now my favorite - I can't get enough of her voice. Such a dear and charming girl, as well. Yes, watching her develop is truly a privilege. Diana just did a blind duet with the pretty girl in the red dress (Yulia Parchuta) that was fantastic and really fun to watch, especially since they became friends on this show. I really enjoyed your reaction. I can relate to how you seemed to feel.

She's 18 here , 9 songs they are all pros they judge each other they have to perform folk rock dance pop , she's been performing since she was a little girl very sad and tragic childhood but her adopted mother saved this angel 😇💪🔥
Diana has this unique ability to feel the music and help you feel what she feels. I frequently have the same emotional moment you had when I listen to her. Yes, it is pure magic and I love it. For more, you should check out her "Spirit of Biakal" and her performance of a song from the new Dune movie.

And special thanks for the kind words addressed to Diana!
If no one else has mentioned, this competition is accomplished musician judging each other. She wins.
I agree with all of the comments....and in the comments there is a lot of great information. I will add a few things. Diana's backstory is truly amazing....there is a video out there that chronicles her life story and her feelings at the time (she was around 14 at that time). She was devastatingly abused by her mother at a very young age, and was abandoned at a train station with a broken collar bone at age 3. She was taken to her aunt, but as the child could not speak and was unwanted, she ended up in an orphanage. She had severe issues speaking, and noticing her singing to cartoons, they decided to use singing lessons as a means of speech therapy, and found she had a flawless sense of tone. A message therapist at the orphanage fell in love with sweet diana, and along with the urging of her other child, adopted Diana. They eventually moved to another city, as Diana was haunted by fears of her birth mother kidnapping her.
The other aspect is what she is doing now. Diana performs a ton, and is starting to make her own music. "In my huge city" is my favorite of her recent songs, it is a poem written by a famous Russian poet who (like all poets LOL) suffered from mental issues, especially insomnia. The song is about wandering the city while being unable to sleep. She has also released other singles, did a movie soundtrack, and most recently performed with a symphony orchestra reviewing the works of Hans Zimmer...Diana performed two songs, the best of which is the Dune soundtrack.
Thanks for reacting to one of my favoirite singers (along with Aurora, Eivor, and the band Heilung).
Excellent reaction. Thanks for reacting to Diana. She is known as the "Queen of goosebumps" I love your reactions you always give your honest and humble opinion of the songs you react to. Diana in that performance was 18 years old, currently she is 20 years old. Check out the song "No Time To Die" by Diana, it is one of her most recent performances by her. She sang it at a concert in honor of Hans Zimmer. The concert was called: "Art of Hans Zimmer" in that concert Diana performed 3 times. Here I send you the link to "No Time To Die" ua-cam.com/video/gmV5CQkZ3Lw/v-deo.htmlsi=YdUAjRqB5uVk2dWI

Hello.
Welcome to the magical mystery tour of universes that Diana creates. Yes, she creates many different universes with each performance.
You are correct. Diana can't be placed into any category. She is her own category.
You asked about her name. I'm sorry, but I only speak American. In American, her name would be pronounced: deeAHnah ahnkoo-DEEnohvah - the capital letters are the emphasized syllables.
Diana is not only a great artist. She is also a wonderful person. You can learn something of her life on Wikipedia.

Welcome to the Siren's cove, you have listened to a voice for the ages. I'm 50, never heard anything like it before finding her. As a judge said, unbelievable talent. And as you watch more of her you will see there is substance and true humanity behind it. She is a very hard working and honest artist that throws her own emotions into her performances, to the point of draining herself, possibly. I imagine she is physically exausted when she does something like this.

All the best and greetings from Germany to Australia. 🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻
Thank you! She suits that name perfectly 😍
My love from sunny warm summer here to your lovely cool winter in Germany!
Although Diana was only 18 when she gave this performance, she was already a superstar.
She had been repeatedly honoured by her country and the original videos of her performances on the Russian station NTV in "Your are Super" 2018 and 2019 - now taken down consequent to the YT/Russia spat - had received hundreds of millions of views.
Her musical journey, from her very first performances when she was 6 or so to the present is very well documented by several hundred videos on YT. To be able by this means to watch her grow as a person and as an artist is a very remarkable pleasure.
She is a genius, an absolute force of nature who has been giving brilliant, compelling, and hugely satisfying performances since she was 10.
In part because it is the festive season, to anyone interested in following her development, I especially recommend the little known but sublime and heartbreakingly beautiful performance of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" that she gave in front of a Christmas Tree in her home when she was 10.

ORIGINAL SONG is FRENCH.
Here, this is Tommee PROFITT's version.
Joan Baez sings in 1960 french/english,
My grandmother sang this song in French in 1920.
Elvis Presley adapted the melody and he changed the words "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" in the 1961 movie, Blue Hawaii.
Elvis is one of many people who have covered this song !
ORIGINAL SONG is French ! It's a romance "PLAISIR D'AMOUR". Music composed in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Egide Martini.
Queen Marie-Antoinette, king Louis XVI wife, in France, sang this song at the Château de Versailles before the Revolution!
когда поет Диана, это словно сирена Гомера из одиссеи, она заставляет забыть земной мир и переносит в другую вселенную, на волшебные планеты.
Господь, положил КРЕСТ любви и добра на грудь девочки по имени Диана.
Она несёт этот крест всю свою пока небольшую жизнь с Достоинством и Честью народа РУССКОГО. Эта маленькая, красивая девушка Велика также, как ВЕЛИКА и ПРЕКРАСНА РОССИЯ.

Greetings from Scotland! I've heard so many people butcher her name, believe me, that pronunciation was fine! 😊 A beautiful young (18 here) lady with a difficult surname and an angelic voice! You need her backstory to understand what helped to "create" this young vocal phenomenon!
Diana is 20yo currently but I've been following her since she was around 13yo. Diana is a natural Dramatic Contralto so the lower registers are her comfort zone but she now has a 5 octave range and it's increasing. She also naturally sings with polyphonic overtones so it sounds like many voices at the same time!
Diana's birthmother had multiple miscarriages but when Diana came along, she seemed to hate her. She verbally and physically abused her, trying to drown her and belittle her. It all culminated when (at 3yo) a passing relative found her in her home with a broken collarbone and several other injuries. She went for the authorities who removed Diana from her birthmothers care and placed her in an orphanage. For almost 2 years Diana never gave up hope and she knew that she was meant for something better. (This story is in her Wikipedia entry) Finally her new mother (Irina Ponik, who worked as a masseuse there occasionally) Signed her adoption papers and took her home. She vowed to pay Irina back for her kindness. Irina had a real struggle because Diana had obviously been badly affected by the experiences and at 5yo, she had a very bad stammer. It was recommended that she be taken for singing lessons to help this and immediately it was recognised that Diana had perfect pitch and an excellent ear for music and songs. 1 year later, at 6yo, Diana was performing solo on stage!
This young unique phenomenon sang everywhere and anywhere she could, working constantly to earn money for the family who rescued her. At 13yo she held her 1st solo concert and one of the songs she sang was in a very rare Sephardic Jewish/Spanish dialect, a song called "Me Voy" (I'm leaving) with a power and emotional commitment that staggers belief! ua-cam.com/video/-9_c5fPrqno/v-deo.html
She was already winning every contest in Russia and other countries that she could get to. Then at 14yo Diana took part in an amazing Russian project "You're Super!" for abandoned/disadvantaged children (because Diana spent time in an orphanage) The 1st song she performed shocked the judges and audience so much, it went viral. February 10, 2018 "Dernière Danse" in French ua-cam.com/video/TvNIXBjaDxI/v-deo.html
Diana has already sung in *7 languages, Russian, English, French, Spanish, German, Ukrainian and Arabic!!!*
The rest, as they say, is now history!.............
Надеюсь, что вы продолжите делать реакции на Диану!
This was the final performance of the night of the first show of a 9 week singing show with 9 singers performing each week and also judging each other. Diana was voted the winner on this first night and was voted the winner of the 9 week show. She was 18 years old at the time, 20 now.
Diana had a difficult childhood. She spent about 1.5 years in an orphanage. Diana’s story on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Ankudinova

They likely let her go first just because she was the youngest in the competition. Same thing happened with Dimash in China; youngest goes first, blows EVERYBODY away, sets the bar REALLY HIGH for the entire season and SOMEBODY had to be un-lucky enough to follow that performance. lol
@@jamescurfman3284 On this first night of the show, she went last. The presenter said it was the final performance before the voting. The producers knew what she could do and saved her to close out the show.
@@atwowheelguy I could have sworn she went first. Okay, well, thank you. :)
Here's the show. Her part began at 1:33:30. This one includes the scoring and an encore performance of the song by Diana since she was the winner. ua-cam.com/video/3IBE3EaZpak/v-deo.htmlsi=E9I9Bh9ucSjQO6Nq&t=5611@@jamescurfman3284
