*And Now for Something Completely Different* I hope that 48 hours after the release of this beautiful _shchedrivochka_ I can take the liberty of posting here something unrelated to the song, but possibly important for its performer Sofia - singer known across YT mostly for her yodelling skills. My text will treat of Sofia's most popular performance - the rendition of the old Frankie Ifield hit _She Taught Me How To Yodel_ she presented at the Ukraine's Got Talent contest in 2017. The question is: how many views across the Net has it attracted? The answer seems easily found: go to the Sofia's channel main page, click the _About_ tab and read: _...has been viewed 15.6+ million times across the Internet._ The point is that this performer's own estimation seems by far too low. 15+ million is guaranteed by two main sources of the footage of the event: the performer's YT channel (5,91 mln views at the moment) and the contest's channel (9,3 mln). But recently have grown two Japanese 'mirrors' of these sites: by Jeff Chicken Translation Service [ ua-cam.com/video/WjpkaFTwPVM/v-deo.html ] and by tomokawa1410 [ ua-cam.com/video/mVlyhlyvMB4/v-deo.html ], with 6,37 and 1,13 mln views respectively. So, taking those Japanese sources into account, we get 5,91+9,3+6,37+1,13 = 22,71 mln views through UA-cam services alone. But UA-cam is not the only big VOD/streaming platform on the globe. We also have the Chinese BiliBili, where - as it turns out - Sofia's clip has recently gained surprising popularity. I've spotted more than 10 sites with copies of this video there. Most of them are small, but the largest ones declare really big audiences: - Ueroey, www.bilibili.com/video/BV1LJ411W7Bo , launched on Christmas Day 2019: 23,78 mln views (more than the entire YT!) - 4k_clear, www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Mt4y1X718 , launched last July - 5,92 mln views. Let's add three older (2018) sites: www.bilibili.com/video/BV1ts411V7av www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Jb411F7ts www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Qs411H73G which recorded jointly 2,54 mln views ad we get 32,24 mln views from five largest Chinese sites. Taking into account the YT record, calculated earlier, we get no less than 54,95 million views worldwide! Let's add two words about the dynamics of the phenomenon. I've made such a survey twice: today and on Dec. 27th. That day the number was 52,4 mln views. So the counter jumped by 2,55 mln views within 12 days. So, dear Sofia, please read: it's not 15,6 million -- *it's 55 million and growing at pace 1,5 mln views per week!* Did you know? --- How do I get the numbers of views for the BiliBili sites? Above the upper-left corner of the video window we see something like this: 2378.1万播放 The central symbol there is 万 which reads "wan" and denotes the quantity of 10 thousand. So 2378.1万 denotes the number 2 378,1 x 10 000 = 23,781 mln. The sequence 播放 means 'play'or 'playback. So, 2378.1万播放 means “23,781 mln plays”.

you are magnificent my dear young girl and may you bring many hours of joy and love to your parents because you certainly bring tears of joy to this old man my wholesome love to you and may you have also have a long and happy life
Sofia, a VERY Merry Christmas to you and your family!! May 2021 be Much better! Very Well Done! Sofia, you are a very sharp dresser on top of being so pretty and with such a lovely voice! God Bless, and Much Love from the USA,, Jerry N.
That is amazing!!!!! I love everything you do, but this one the most. You have talent stacked on top of talent. Please tell your mom I think she is gorgeous and a talent genius.

Ya una Sofía es maravillosa. Un coro de cuatro Sofías es algo excelso.
Speechless. And it takes alot for me to be speechless. I LOVED IT!!! Makes me wish Christmas was still here.
It’s Christmas there...
@@johnhungerford6073 yup, I can tell
And the editing IS incredible
I'm speechless... You nailed it, girl!
And the different dressups to give the "illusion" we have multiple girls was also very cool and well-played.
Beautiful, Sofia! I listened to this video with headphones on. The stereo separation makes it sound like there is a choir in front of you! 😊
гарний! Нещодавно я дізнався про вас і про ваш талант, дарований Богом. Я люблю музику, а ти справді обдарований!
I only wish i live a long time to watch you grow. And your talent explode. Good job young lady

Fascinante!
Брависсима! What a lovely way to finish the Christmas Season.
