I saw this movie in theaters when I was a kid, it was a really fun movie and the audience was laughing and screaming during some scenes, but when the Diva sequence came in, it was deadly silent. At the end of the scene everyone applauded. I will never forget.
The view of Earth in the background made the opera scene more amazing
@@garcia207 Floston Paradise, not Earth.
That would've been an awesome experience. I think my closest movie experience to this when I watched a quiet place. No one was eating chips and are so hushed that it was a weird and cool experience.
I also involuntarily started loudly applauding! I remember that moment in the theater so vividly.
I never understood people applauding in cinemas. The people responsible for the performance are not there. And I grew up in the 90s when that was an actual thing.
I like how her hand gestures along with singing was choreographed with LeeLou’s fight scene with the Mangalores.
I love this song. It is still awesome after 20 years and this is the best part of the whole movie. I can listen to this song all day. Her voice is so heavenly and so darn beautiful.
Great song. Dimash does this song and it is awesome as well.
Inva Mula (born 27 June 1963) is an Albanian opera lyric soprano. She began her soprano career at a very early age. Her father (Avni Mula) and mother (Nina Mula) were also opera singers. She is also known for providing the voice of the diva Plavalaguna in the film The Fifth Element. The character Plavalaguna, which means 'blue lagoon' in Serbian, was played by French actress Maïwenn Le Besco but her famous performance of the Diva Dance Opera was actually sung by Albanian opera singer Inva Mula-Tchako
Thanks for sharing this information. Her lip-sync is so good I believed she was actually performing the vocal. Although the actress's performance in the movie is iconic, what makes it so is the vocal, which is other-worldly.
And plenty of synth samples!
@@Spillage66 yes they had to make her sound Alien 👽 of course they had to modify.
I agree with the actress! They chopped her whole scene up during editing. Silver lining though, she stole that movie with just the few minutes she was on film!!
The actress clearly doesn't know what to do with her body here, like at all. The director did the right thing to only use the few shots that looked ok
@@WitchHunter1991 She's an opera singer. They do a lot of standing in one spot and gesturing. She's also wearing a restrictive and heavy outfit.
I personally liked the edits added into the movie, but that didn't away from 'her scene' that was the key moment for the ENTIRE movie.
Since then, people have been trying to recreate what she did and hardly any can even remotely top her what she pulled off.
@@christins.1481 No one can recreate it because her voice was put though a sampler and arranged with 'fake' high and low notes. You can look that up on any website about the movie.
Most memorable thing about the movie!
What a missed opportunity. It would've been great to have a litttle back story on this character. Just saw the interview with the actress. She's adorable. And beautiful. And so humble. xo
This is my favorite part of the movie😊
Same
yeah that was my favorite part of the movie as well
I listened to this on the
soundtrack so many times
제5원소 😍😍😭😭
Me too. That's why I love when Dimash sings this. He's like an alien. He really has this range and better. I'm really glad to see this vid though. Beautiful!
she played the character so well. this actress made this song so incredible all over the world thanks for her.
She was Luc Besson's girlfriend at that time. Then, he met Mila... she also played in Leon the professional, she's the girl in the first scene being tossed out of the apartment. She's now a well known actress and filmmaker in France :)
Inva Mula: Chapeau!
honestly shes the reason why I know who vitas is, or just in general Lucia di Lammermoor
@UNTERVÖX Art-Politic and Entertainment! LMAO
No one has come close to repeating this. It is so beautifully done by her.
FOR 22 YEARS I HAVE BEEN WONDERING WHAT HER PERFORMANCE WAS AND I THANK YOU FOR POSTING.
How could you not know? Something wrong with that statement.
@@MrWmJosephSmithIII girl this statememt was a year ago. Ive slept since then. I suggest you do the same.
Finally got to see the full video of this part from the movie, sad that they had to cut it, but it was nice that they saved this so everyone can see it. She did an awesome job!!!
Ilyce They didnt cut it, the full song is in the movie, but obviously it doesn’t stay on the same one shot for 5 minutes. This is a full unedited take
Yeah, the movie has the full song, but cuts from the performance to peoples reactions and the Mangalores searching for the stones as Leelo tries to stop them. There's also some alternate angles of Plavalaguna thrown in.
Ilyce it was Exactly the same
Ilyce wtf are you talking about? Have you not seen the movie ?
I was mesmerized the first time I saw this and it still has the same effect.
I remember the first time I saw the diva on my screen as a young person. And let me tell you... it still gives me chillz when I see it to this day. I'm right back, in my living room, totally captivated and enthralled with her phenomenal performance.
Yess
The Diva was a Main Character, and we loved her.
We still love her, because The Fifth Element movie is Awesome. We are watching and enjoying it still in 2024
She was not a main character. The main character was a couple in love.
The diva lives rent-free in my head.
This was my most favorite part of the movie!! I always wanted to see the entire performance!! So so glad I got to! AMAZING!! ♥️♥️
She's right tho, we did not get enough Diva! She worked her ass off on this and put her heart and soul in it, you can tell. I am glad She knows that we all see it and love what she did! She IS the Diva!
I agree and thank you
I agree 👍
4 Real this was freaking amazing.
She is a true Diva, but i think she was singing about Leeloo and her purpose in "our" life. As far as i saw all this Diva part, i see it even clearly. anyway i think the Diva's dance part cant be comparable to the Leeloo's fight part. But her voice worked perfectly there
The real voice was Inva Mula, an Albanian opera star. I saw Ms. Mula perform the lead in La Traviata at Opera Bastille in 2004. It was a truly masterful performance!
one of the most iconic scenes of all times ❤️
I was completely stunned in the cinema, when the song changed complete to an different genre, and still love this awesome movie to this day
I am not a fan of the opera.
However, when I heard this song performed in the Fifth Element, I was just captivated.
It was like the song resonated through my soul.
And, I've found a new appreciation for this genre.
Yea her and Warhammer 40k have given me an appreciation of operatic music
This is what I call professionalism....one take and she killed it
One take of lip-syncing. But you should she the bird that actually sang it behind the scenes. She's a master.
IIronic, She thought the people wouldn't appreciate her time and work or the character for that matter, because it was so fast and mix between her scene with Leeloo's fight, but is the Best and memorable moment in the whole movie. She was fantastic.
WRONG
@@KrisD007 what you mean?
I'm 35 I loved it back then and I still love it now. My FAVORITE part of the movie!
Been one of my favorites since I first saw it in 97
Same!!
Funny to hear that Maiwenn was shocked that she thought people wouldn't recognize her effort in the role after the editing. Many years later, the diva dance is going flippin' viral and many singers are performing it live! Infact, Diva Plavalaguna is single handedly making sure more people are introduced to this marvellous movie ❤
This is why FIFTH ELEMENT will never be bettered.
crazy, she felt left out and now, yeaarsss after the movie came out, we all just talk about the Diva!! It's what everyone takes out of the movie. bravo! she should be so proud!
Wrong. This is NOT the movie. There’s a whole other fandom who detests this part and can focus on what the movie was REALLY about.
Truly the most memorable scene in the movie! The movie was another Bruce Willis epic!!
Eric Serra, composer of this song:
For the scene to work, we needed her to sound like an alien, thereforee we had to create notes that no human could sing. So I purposely wrote un-singable things, some too low, some too high, sentences that were too fast, I would then arrange it with the sampler.
I had never worked with an opera singer before, I didn’t quite realize the technical ability they had, I thought that only 60% of the song was actually possible to sing. In the studio before even taking her coat off she started humming from the music sheet. I was astonished, the beauty of her tone of voice and the perfection of her singing gave me shivers down the spine. Yet she was only humming. I couldn’t believe it. We sat down and she started to sing, I was overwhelmed. She sang 85% of what I thought was technically impossible. I then sampled and edited her voice a bit. It might seem obvious nowadays but at the time many wondered how I did it.
I wondered if that last bit was possible, apparently *some* of it was!
Kazakh singer Dimash has covered this song without technical assistance in a singing competition. Then again, he has a 6+ octave vocal range...
(Its available on UA-cam for viewing)
@@leannsmarie And yet, the part that has the most digital editing to make it impossible is changed during his performance because he can't actually do it. It is one hell of a good try, though!
The Diva Song is my favorite scene. Love this movie.
She made The Fifth Element IMMORTAL with this one song, scene and fight ❤🔥😘🥺
Diva Plavalaguna debería ser real. Definitivamente, tremenda actriz, tremenda canción. Aunque la voz es sintetizada, es una obra increible. Gracias por haber tenido la oportunidad de poder haber visto esta escena en la vida.
It wasn't necessarily synthesized. The singer really hit all those notes, they were just edited to be much closer together, making it humanly impossible to sing this song.
Besides her out of this world voice, her awkward movements made the performance uniquely beautiful.
Кто поёт?
This wasn’t the actual singer. She was lip synching
You basically just called her awkward, because this isn't the person who recorded the voice track.
She is the main reason I watch that movie over and over.
I remember seeing this for the first time! I was mesmerized then, but now I’m simply speechless to see it in it’s entirety!!
Same for me
That woman did an amazing job of this.. The movie itself is amazing as well and will always have a place in my heart.
She did an awesome performance, so many people watch the movie over and over just to watch her sing. Amazing , God bless.
Actually, it's Inva Mula's voice (Inva is the soprano who actually sings this song)
The fifth element will always be one of my favorite movies. ❤
She was the most massive impact of the movie.
Man she was the sixth element
liu was too!
WRONG, you people are hysterical
Editing is brutal. I once acted in a scene that took a full week, 10 hrs to shoot and at the end only about 2 minutes were used. And then something that took a whole day to shoot was only used as a "surveillance photo" that flashed on the final screen for less than a second. Sometimes the entire scene or scenes already shot were cut out completely and reduced to a line mentioned by the actor.
Fun fact. The original prints of the Diva scene were ran over by a fork lift after falling off the airplane at LAX. They salvaged what they could and I assume that is why it’s so short and spliced together. Based on an interview with Associate Producer John Amicarella. Well, I guess it’s not that fun if a fact ha.
@@govmcfly very interesting! It would make a compelling reason as to why the scene got cut the way it appears in the final version.
@@govmcfly Interesting. 1) I guessed the film was marked up for possible editing decisions but your story is much cooler 2) I assume you mean the original negative was run over because if a print was run over you can always make another copy.
FIFTH ELEMENT. love that movie.. ❤
Wow! She really did the part justice.
Don’t worry Maïwenn, we got to see your full performance after all. It was a shame it was edited.
Maïwenn did not sing this, though. The voice belongs to Albanian lyric soprano Inva Mula, who was introduced to Luc Besson by Maria Calla's agent.
Amalia her acting is a performance too
*•. .•* what part?
You think the moments on stage were that amazing? It wasn’t even a dance.
She MADE THIS MOVIE! No matter what they tried to do! It’s the main reason I REMEMBER THE MOVIE!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Her performance was the best part of the movie to me.
She was amazing. So melancholy. Always brings a tear. Like she said in the interview she felt the character was sad and disappointed in the humans. She sure makes you feel that as well.. Great job. 👍👏💯💙
She didn’t sing it.
I've always loved this segment of the movie so iconic
I lost count of how many times I've watched this movie.
Especially this Opera scene was a MASTERPIECE 👏👏👏
I give this a multipass! 👍
LOL
#Hashtag XD 😂
XD
lol good one
And some Cheekon!
A M A Z I N G !! Iconic scene! One of the best sci-f movies from 20th century. She did such a great job lip syncing! Old but definitely GOLD!
@Gorky VI Kornelius No. The Diva in the movie was played by Maïwenn Le Besco, but the voice belongs to Inva Mula.
I guess this is the first time you ever heard of 'Green Screen' Like 19 years ago (23)? No problem, I saw this in the making in 1999. Loved it then, and now. Thank you for sharing.
Really she is beautiful then in costume and now she is beautiful in real life. My favorite part of the movie it moved me then and now.
One of my most favorite movies. Love this scene. I like how they mirrored her performance and Leeloo’s fight scene. So good and a little sad
It was cool to see her whole performance, but the way it was cut in the film was perfect. The mix of action with the hypnotic singing of the Diva was something special.
This song was truly beautiful. You could tell she put her heart and energy into the performance
The actress and singer were 2 different people
She was absolutely amazing ❤️ just amazing and even though her time on the screen was short, her character is iconic.
She knew she nailed it that broke character at the end and got back. But her exitment is well noticed. Great job.
Anyone else watching this and seeing that entire scene play out in their head..
The actress and the singer deserves a standing ovations
Oh my gosh, that little smile she had at the end 🥺
That performance really tied the whole movie together. I think the editing was fine, I'm glad we can see the whole thing here.
The Diva was such an interesting character, the way she sang and her appearance and she seemed so gentle for being so tall and even speaking with telepathy she seemed to whisper. I was so sad when she was killed after her performance. What an amazing character, having such an impression and so short of an appearance.
I was happy.
They should've kept this . . this made her performance more epic. She def stole the whole movie
one of the best movie sequences ever
that was a great movie! Everything about it. Bruce Willis character was spot on as were the others. Many surprises and great ending. This performance was also a highlight!
Thank you Merwin for your beautiful performance and your gestures brought it to life. Soooo touching, stunningly beautiful excruciating. A blessing
She absolutely ROCKED! Great movie and she was just superb!
I am not what you'd consider an opera fan, but this performance totally captivated me! If only both the singer and performer had been allowed more time on screen.
I always love that part of the movie, she does it so well. Seeing the whole entire song was fantastic.
Can I just say, this performance is what got me interested in Opera? 💯💎💎🎯👍🏽
This is awesome. I remember seeing the movie when it first came out. In my enthusiasm, I yelled, in the theatre, "That's from Lucia di Lammermoor". The audience bust out laughing. I was so embarrassed. My friend, however, was impressed that I knew that.
The voice the makeup and the movements were the most memorable and recognizable part of the movie
Wow! SO glad I came across this. Unique and beautiful.
The first time I saw the movie "The fifth element" I was surprised by this character and her performance that it seemed to me really interesting and I wanted to see all the concert because I think it was a great job from this actress. Greetings from Peru.
The diva is really something! The director's vision is really "out of this world"!!!😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She did an amazing job..She deserve to be praised for her hard work and dedication. From her interview,i come to know she practiced the role for 3 months. Hats off🙇
Praised for standing, lip syncing, and moving her arms? She was not the singer
@@KrisD007 that's your point of view. Keep it to yourself!!
@@sey_jin LMAO - but you can share your point of view? That doesn't sound very nice.
The actress is so good omg..and i think she is the reason i love aliens 👽
I love this womans performance! Beautiful!!
Still one of the best movies ever .
Agreed
Just ONE take to make this phenomenal part ? Speechless
Seriously. And here i am. Vfx artist. Not even realizing this was green screen. Lol.
U can see how much emotion they left out of the final edit which is unerstandable with how much time she put into this piece that she would be disapointed
Absolute genius, where opera meets funk.
My favourite scene from 5th element 🌹
1000 years ahead of its' time. Look at music now, it is like the last minute of this vid. Sci Fi Rules, and always has.
Everything now is like that movie 😂
The 5th element! I was so captivated when I heard this! Just so… Amazing and still is!
Darling, 5 seconds of you is enough to nail it.
Maiwen, I doubt you w9ill ever see this comment, your part was small in relation to screen time, BUT it was probably the most significant part of the movie, the Diva scene was amazing, and the editors did manage to do a great job of combining the action, and your performance. many of us wish we could see a full diva performance... You did not get much screen time, though your performance WAS impressive. You where a key element of the story, and despite a "small part" the fans love you for your performance. Thank you for agreeing to be a part of the film. You and Inva really brought the performance to life.
that is so true! always remember this as a key moment of 5th Element!!! even with the editing or exactly that! mixing the performance with the fighting action as marvelous!
Even though you can tell the actress here isn’t a singer, man her body language is so smooth and pretty- she really makes it seem like she’s singing her heart out
no, that is her
Yes, We deserve to watch the whole performance.
No we don’t. It’s terrible
i have listened to a lifetime of assorted music during my nearly 60 yrs, and i tell you, nothing beats this. it is the most authentically beautiful, complex, delicate yet so powerful song. so utterly captivating, and sincere/heartfelt... im sure noone else in the entire world could sing it like the true diva, herself, does. what a legacy to leave to endless generations... should have featured on one of the starwars movies, at an inter-galactic opera venue... awesome artistry
And she didn't even want the role, the original actress went missing and so this woman had to learn how to sing in just 3 months with little to no acting experience before. That's next level!
Listen to Dimash doing this.
Not to mention choreographing the fight scene to this song.
But she did not sing all the notes herself, she was not good enough, she got help from a sampler to make some of the high and low notes, Dimash sings Diva Dance with no help from anything but he's own voice, that's a true singer :-)
@@AutisticAl Lol 😆 stop giving people wrong info. This piece is by the amazing Soprano opera singer madame Inva Mula an Albanian diva.
Круто! Даже не мог подумать, что есть полный танец! Большое спасибо! Посмотрел с удовольствием!
Всем привет, кто пришел с ПИКАБУ!
just blue and green..... and still captivating, what a Diva.
For such a short performance she was amazing! I was a bit disappointed also that she was killed off so fast wish it was a longer or she would of had lived thru it with the rest of them! She was so uniquely exceptional!
Marisol Rivera ........ I was so upset when she got killed. Almost stopped watching the movie 🙁😞
She had to die. She held one of the elemental stones inside her body.
Harley Moonbeam it could’ve been surgically removed 😭😭😭
With great power comes great sacrifice and responsibilities she accepted it.
All I can say about that is WOW! She is incredible.
One of the stangest yes mesmerizing performance I've ever witness in a movie. TY for sharing 👌
Yep, you've got me into it again, gonna watch The Fifth Element again right now, it's handy on my DVR cus, you know . . .
Pity they should have put more of this scene in it, my favorite scene of the fifth element. Such a great movie
The Diva and Ruby made the movie for me. Still in my top 10 because of them.
This moment was Epic💙 The Diva simply was Perfect
She immediately brings me back to believe she is an alien and is the best in the universe singing to celebrities.
Eventhough she was not the real voice of this song (even at first I thought it was hers) she made it look like it was her own voice. Great timing and dubbing. This is actually the best part I love in the movie. Eventhough she had a very short part she still so special to me and one of the best highlight in the movie.
People were upset coz of the editing but that was a great show actually, showing some parts of the fighting scene in the back while she was singing on stage. Great editing.
@Steph Ramirez the actress is great but the singer is Sarah Brightman (with voice edits as much of it is impossible to sing)
@@michaelfreudiger actually the singer is Inva Mula not Sarah Brightman
@@michaelfreudiger Inva Mula actually.
Steph Ramirez she had to learn to sing just to get the right mouth movements in order to sync well with the audio it’s not actually her singing
indian army: You can buy 'The Fifth Element Soundtrack', which has all songs from the movie on it It's very inexpensive these days, since the movie is from 1996. It includes this song, which is also my favorite from the movie! I play music in my house constantly - prefer music to TV - and have had friends stop & ask...."Wait, wait......what IS this music?" when this song begins playing. Haha.....I always explain - and refer them to the movie in order to SEE the Diva. All the music is great, but this performance is the best in the movie - and the best on the soundtrack, too ~ IMHO ~
That’s acting, homegurl. The final cut used the best shots and thank God. So much of the choreography in this would have detracted from the audio that made this song and The 5th Element a major part of pop culture’s history. Inva Mula sang the actual opera used. Fun fact, she was able to sing 85% of the “ un-singable” parts of the 2nd half.
Have you heard Dimash performing 98% of it?
or Laura Workman singing... 100% of it?
I was glad to see that because the actress playing the Diva (Maiwenn), worked a long time to get this right to match the wonderful voice of the actual singer (Inva Mula) and she was upset a lot of her dance was lost in the cutting room.
Wait is she lip syncin??
@@SunkissNia yes
Hi Jewel. Yes, I've only heard this sung as good by one other woman in the world. There are other women who sing it well but not as good as the original. Just one that I've found. The original singer from the movie, Inva Mula and the other one I've found sing it as good. It is truly amazing.
Exsosus
But have you heard of Dimash Kudaibergen? He does his best performance of it at his “bastau” concert!
The thing is that The song is impossible to sing
Singer is Ivana Mula, first half is an aria from Lucia di Lammermoor (act 2 I think)
She, like Maria Carey, and Beyonce, etc... has the ability to sing in several registers including Whistle. Additionally, Mula knows how to sing with overtones... so what you hear is not using auto-tune.
Mula is a beautiful Albanian singer. I have the same last name.
Beyoncé ain't shit compared to this amount of talent
@@experimetalfan8851 opinionated, but I certainly wouldn't call it talent.... actually it's offensive because it robs musicians of their due recognition for how much work and effort it takes to actually be a component musician let alone a great one.
I’d like to see this singer try Mozart’s queen of the night aria
