A female counter-version of Dimash that you should know about. She's incredible.
This angel is one of the best singers (incredible extremely low vocal, dramatic contralto + polyphonic voice) in the world!

I was stunned to find that the first performance (Show "You are Super") I heard was when she was 14!!!!
She's now 21 (turned 31st May) and still developing. She sings in Russian, French, English, German, Spanish and Arabic.
The covers she performed on that show are very popular on UA-cam. Many UA-camrs publish reactions on these performances, which include "Oh,Darling" (❗10 y.o.), "California Dreamin' " , "Sweet Dreams" (all 19 y.o.), "Can't Help Falling In Love", "Crow", "Personal Jesus" (all 18 y.o.), "Wicked Game", "Human" (15 y.o.), "Derniere Danse", "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" (14 y.o.), "Take On Me" (17 y.o.) , film soundtrack to Dune, James Bond, Spirit of Baikal (all 20 y.o) and others.

I've been using a Blue Yeti for probably over a decade at this point and don't have any plans to move away from it. I basically always leave it on the heart polar pattern with the gain at about 50%. I've never used the Blue Snowball (I do have a Blue Eyeball 2.0 for on-the-go recording, not that I think I've ever used it) so not sure how it compares.
I did pick up "The Pop" pop filter and "The Radius" shock mount, both also produced by Blue. I'm not entirely sure how much those help to be honest, but it makes the whole setup mounted to my desk look pretty impressive 😆
All my gear I got before Logitech bought them up in 2018 though. I'm not sure how modern Blue equipment compares to their independent stuff, but it looks like that one you've got there is the same model I have so I'm certain it's a great buy!
