      Geoff Castelluci's cover of I See Fire does have something a bit like this. He's a natural baritone, has studies as a tenor but is well known for his bass. I forgot how big his chest voice range is but it's definitely not something to scoff at.

      Elvis would have been duly impressed by her vocal abilities…but I highly doubt he would have appreciated her butchering this beautiful song. Having seen him perform it live the year before he died, I certainly know that I didn’t. She has great vocal abilities…but what you do with them is what counts.

      @@ChicagoDB Interesting. I've been following Diana's evolution for a while. Her interpretations often differ dramatically from the originals. Indeed, I've learned to expect the unusual from Diana. She is definitely not afraid to deviate from tradition. I'm not surprised that her choices create controversy. There are a lot of Russian traditionalists who are very unhappy with her interpretations of famous Russian songs. But don't be too certain that Elvis himself would have been upset with Diana's interpretation.

      @@vahauser51 - Elvis actually covered many songs…but you won’t find any that are nearly unrecognizable from original material…because he greatly valued and respected the original content…right now I shudder to think what Diana would have done to various songs he covered or adapted. There is little about this performance that could really be called an “interpretation”. At best she is engaging in what would be referred to in classical music as “variations on a theme”…or “sampling” as Rappers and such do when they lift music or lyrics from other’s material. Sad really, because she could have done something resembling a more tradition “cover” of a beautiful song - and dazzled with her vocal range and flexibility. There is almost nothing about this rendition that should result in it being called “Can’t Help Falling In Love”…she should just call it something else.

      @@ChicagoDB I'm confused. You watch Diana, but call her a musical butcher. Why watch her? Etta James is the original performer of It's A Man's World, but everybody remembers the James Brown version. Bob Dylan wrote All Along the Watchtower, but everybody remembers the Jimi Hendrix version. But back to Diana. These TV shows require short songs, under 3 minutes. Diana still doesn't speak English very well. So, she cuts whole verses and uses melodic vocal runs as filler. Also, she is not the first person to sing Can't Help Falling In Love in a minor key. But Diana doesn't need me to defend her. She knows very well that she angers traditionalists. She knows. Which returns me to, why do you watch her?

      @@vahauser51 I don't watch her...I'm commenting on this because I heard/saw it here. And my comment is entirely consistent. A person can have amazing vocal abilities and still utterly butcher beautiful material...which she did. And I would point out that all of those artists and songs you mentioned were beautifully done in different styles and DID NOT butcher the original material. There is also nothing wrong with merely performing "Can't Help Falling In Love" in a minor key...except SHE DIDN'T she took a fantastic song and transformed it into something largely unrecognizable. As I said before...call it something else...no problem. Because it certainly is not "Can't Help Falling In Love". I would never listen to this again regardless...but that is merely because I hated her song. She certainly has serious vocal abilities...but as always - it matters what you do with them. You can 'sing the phone book' if you merely want to show vocal ability...but how well would it sell? I would also point out that the song itself is 3 minutes long...so its not like there wasn't enough time to sing it.

    Good day! Some people may quibble that she didn't sing much of the verses and primarily just repeatedly sang the chorus, but for the purposes of the show that she performed it on, and the way that she changed up the song, it works! She is extraordinary and I hope that she gains worldwide success. Also, when she did that vocalization as opposed to singing the words, it was just magical.

То, что вы смотрели только как она поёт народные песни - так это ваши проблемы, а не её. Песню Таниты Тикарам в исполнении Дианы, к примеру, слушать можно только ваты в уши запихав, там её вибрато на контральто вообще ни к селу ни к городу. Прикол Пелагеи как раз в контроле голоса, она потрясающе его контролирует, Диане пока не хватает опыта, на этом выступлении, к примеру, она как минимум в 2х местах не вышла на то, что она репетировала, и это слышно.

    Hello from France
    I like your reactions!
    Could you please react to The Crow ("Ворона") - Диана Анкудинова dans le catégorie "Rock hit'" Many people think this is Diana's best performance to date. She managed in 3 minutes to make a demonstration (without being ostentatious) of all her vocal possibilities and skills. If you find that she sang very low in "Can 'help ..." you will still be surprised by the incredible undertones she put in her vocals in this performance!... You have to listen and be careful, it's so unusual that some of your colleagues didn't notice anything! ... or they thought it was in the background soundtrack! But in this show the capture of the voices live , there are no backing vocals
    Diana is currently participating in a very ambitious NTV show "ShowMaskGoon" ("Шоумаскгоон") shot in Mosfilms studios with Virtual Reality sets. The sound is recorded live.
    The principle is as follows: there are 9 permanent participants who are both judges and competitors. Everyone has to perform in 9 predefined styles, changing each time in each of the 9 parts of the show. It is very interesting because the candidates have to get out of their usual repertoire. To the 9 judges / candidates is added a different guest each week who also votes, because the artist who is on stage does not vote. They all have points from 2 to 9 to be distributed according to their assessment of the performance.
    The 9 categories are:
    "Song from a movie or cartoon"
    "Rock hit"
    "New music"
    "Song of the late twentieth century"
    "People are moved" (moving song)
    "Soviet song"
    "Pop hit"
    "Grammy"
    "Song of your choice"
    The show airs on Saturdays at 8:20 p.m. Moscow time.
    I made a playlist of Diana's performances:

    Enjoyed your take on her....the background is as extraordinary as
    the performer. At the age of three in the middle of Russia's far
    northern Winter she was abandoned, injured, at a bus stop where
    she was rescued and sent to an orphanage. At the age of 5 she was
    still traumatized and unable to speak properly. A massage
    therapist who visited the orphanage trying to help kids, was the
    first to recognize something special in this little girl, and
    eventually adopted her. Diana was sent for singing lessons because
    it was thought that this might help her learn to speak without
    impediment.
    Only two years later she started singing in local theater, and in
    street plays and performances. And soon after was entered in a
    Russian TV music competition for disadvantaged children. By the
    age of 10 she was winning local competitions, singing on live TV
    shows, and her songs started showing up on UA-cam.
    Two weeks ago, at the age of 18, her first performance during a
    new Russian television competition with several other renowned
    performers, has gone viral and has garnered hundreds of UA-cam
    'reaction' videos, and millions of viewers. Her first song at the
    competition, an entirely new take on Elvis Presley's 'Can't Help
    Falling in Love with You' has been called mesmerizing,
    transcendental and other-worldly...it highlights her uniquely deep
    voice, and effortless range from low to high, along with her
    trademark dramatic and passionate interpretation.
    Diana Ankudinova sings mostly in Russian, English and French. She
    has also sung in other languages including Spanish, German and
    Arabic.
    Singing in French, at the age of 10, on a Russian TV show... a

    Beth, your reactions are both refreshing to hear and accurate. I've listened to other people reacting to Diana Ankudinova and sadly, it was readily apparent they didn't know much about voice, singing, or what they were talking about. So here are my thoughts for what they are worth: for those in your audience that don’t know, Diana Ankudinova was only 18 years old when this performance took place during the 2021 season of a Russian vocal competition called the "ShowMaskGoOn!". Diana’s cover of the Elvis Presley classic "Can't Help Falling In Love", shows Diana Ankudinova has what many vocal professionals I've come across believe is a true contralto sound, and for those that don’t know female voice types, a contralto is the lowest kind of female voice, and a true contralto voice is very, very rare.
    First, to answer a very common question asked about Diana's vocal range because vocal range helps define a female singer's voice type. At 14 in 2017, her vocal range was measured from a low of D3 to a high of A5. As of September 2021, 4 years later at age 18, her lower functional range was measured from a C3 and her upper range was measured at B♭5.
    But, it's not just how low she can go. It's the exceptional quality of her tone in her lower range. It's all about the roundness, the fullness, and the depth of her voice, along with her ability to create and access an enormous amount of resonance that further defines Diana as a "dramatic contralto", which is the rarest of the rare contralto voice types.
    How does Diana Ankudinova do it? How can such a young female singer reach such a low, rich, deep, and profound sound? Without actually scoping her vocal tract, the general conciseness of many vocal professionals attributes Diana’s sound to her winning the genetic lottery and as you stated, just being born with unique vocal anatomy. Diana’s vocal folds appear to be longer and thicker than most female singers, and her larynx also appears to be bigger along with her vocal track, which similarly appears to be longer than most other female singers. It’s this unique vocal anatomy that gives Diana Ankudinova the ability to produce these low, deep, rich, and full sounds, but without actually scoping Diana’s vocal track there is no way to be 100% sure. To really appreciate the vocal progression of Diana,s contralto sound, listen to "Rechenka", a Russian folk song sung in Russian for a vocal competition called "You Are Super!" during their 2018 Season when Diana was only 14 years old. Next listen to her cover of Chris Izaak's, "Wicked Game" the following year when she was only 15 years old during the 2019 Season of "You Are Super!". Diana Ankudinova won both the 2018 and 2019 seasons of “You Are Super”.
    Diana is also a true polyphonic singer which is an extraordinarily rare accomplishment for someone so young. A singer who has mastered this vocal technique can create up to two, and sometimes three different tones at the same time which adds to the harmonic overtones and undertones that can make it sound like more than one voice singing. This polyphonic ability is why some people mistakenly believe Diana Ankudinova is using auto-tune, a voice synthesizer, pitch correction software, or some other artificial form of electronic voice manipulation to alter or adjust her sound. Others think another person is singing in the background, or she is lip-syncing over a previously recorded vocal track. There is no artificial manipulation of any kind going on at all. The “ShowMaskGoOn” is a very competitive vocal competition and Diana Ankudinova is required to use only the equipment provided to her as all other competitors are required to do. There was no opportunity for her or any other competitor to use electronic vocal manipulating equipment. What you are hearing is all Diana Ankudinova.
    Usually, female singers don't reach full vocal maturity until somewhere around 24 to 28 years of age. Some reach it a little sooner, and others, a little later but Diana Ankudinova’s vocals are already developing well ahead of schedule for her vocal maturity. I look forward to what Diana will sound like when she does reach full vocal maturity. When she does she will have had many more years of voice training with her voice teacher in addition to more years honing her on-stage live performance skills. When that day comes, there will be no question that Diana Ankudinova will be a vocal force to be reckoned with and a wonder to behold on stage.
    Diana took part in the “ ShowMaskGoOn on” vocal competition in September of 2021 where she performed her cover of “Can’t Help Falling In Love”. The judges were a panel of nine professional singers that competed against each other and also award judging points to each other. When Diana was not competing she was a member of this judging panel. During Diana’s performance, the judge on the top row that stands up first is the famous Russian tenor, Yusif Eyvazov from Azerbaijan who is married to the world-famous soprano Anna Netrebko. The blond woman also standing that’s dressed in red and looks totally shocked at the end of Diana's performance, then puts both hands on top of her head with a look of total bewilderment and disbelief is Julia Parshuta, a well-known contemporary Russian singer. Julia Parshuta also knows at some point, she has to compete against Diana Ankudinova, who is a true, once-in-a-generation talent. Finally, Diana won this competition.

      Very Well written. THX :) And yes, Diana is a very outstanding "once in a while" talent.. she also reminds me bit of "Uyanga Bolt" a russian/Mongolian female singer aswell, who also is capable of some "throat singing" (Polyphonic/harmonic) like Diana Does.. AND.. Uyanga Bolt allready worked on Tracks for HANS ZIMMER (Batman Darknight for example) ASWELL as with "Twos Steps From Hell"...
      I see a very big potential, that someday in future Diana will get "a call" from Hans Zimmer.... She is that "unearthly voice/sound" which is one of Hans Zimmers typical Styles...
      And as i write about that; watch Dianas Video, where she performs "Dune" from Hans Zimmer...

I would recommend you to react for another great cover song by Diana -> "Crow"// Хотел бы отметить, что Диана восхищает не только своим уникальным вокалом, но еще и тем,как Она погружается в образ. Она просто гипнотизирует своими выступлениями. Если даже по тв и смартфону люди в своего рода трансе, я даже не могу представить что творится там вживую....Талантище мировой величины!

    Я помню, как она не смогла сдержать слёзы, слушая "Реченьку", и ждал этой реакции. И был вознаграждён: она сказала все те слова, которые важны для понимания этого голоса - теплота; мягкость; нежность; деликатность. Именно эти важнейшие качества голоса Дианы ускользают от внимания даже многих профессионалов. Все говорят одно и то же: глубокий, низкий, тёмный, мощный, объёмный. Всё правильно, но если бы только эти качества вокала - этот голос так бы нас не завораживал. Но совокупность всего этого - действует неотразимо. Подписался...
    Thanks! Nice reaction, very exact comments: " warm, soft, subtle, tender" voice, and: " she also really understands the nuances of her voice how to use textures, how to use dynamics, how to built".
    Absolutely right! Subscribing...

    Have you ever heard of someone taking that Duo-tone type of singing into their upper range like this? I always felt this was kind of 'gimmicky' that using in the lower range of her voice was a way to distract from an ordinary voice. But this is stunning and the work it must have taken to extend this type of singing into that part of her range. If I am wrong let me know because at this point I think I'm looking at a one off type of talent. You really need to watch this from beginning to end without stopping to get the full effect of what I think is as unique a vocal phenomena as Dimash is. Please let me know if I am wrong. I mean I have heard of the Tuvan Throat Singers but most of their work is in the lower ranges. So I am not sure if I am on solid ground with my thesis of her being a category of one. Thank you for answering my question.

  • @danielosheigh4793
    @danielosheigh4793 3 роки тому +13

    I think Diana might be the most talented contralto in the world. Her range is incredible and the depth and fullness that she manages is truly breathtaking.
    She pays so much attention to the most minute syllable and nuance in her phrasing....wrapping each tiny piece in emotion and masterful control.
    I well up nearly every time I listen to her, it's insane.
    Luv your channel miss, your journey has been inspiring for sure and I wish you all the best in the year to come, keep up the amazing content!!

    There's one (of many) moments that gets me all the time. When she comes down from that high vocalization, one clearly can hear her low voice underneath her high tone, already before she was down.Then, starting with a growl that ignited that strong power part, she roars ;-) like a lion. Bone crushing, shivers.
    Есть один (из многих) момент, который меня все время волнует. Когда она спускается с этой высокой вокализации, можно отчетливо слышать ее низкий голос под ее высоким тоном, еще до того, как она упала. Затем, начиная с рычания, которое зажгло эту сильную мощную часть, она рычит ;-) как лев. Раздавливание костей, дрожь

    With her, it is not about high or low notes it is all about the texture of her voice. This is her gift besides the general gift of being capable to sing that good in general.
