And she has apparently perfect pitch. Even many of the top singers occasionally get a bit off, she never does, not even in acapella. And I find even more beautiful qualities in her voice making it kind of "angelic", which is rather rare
This. I was surprised he didn't mention it. More than anything she singing in perfect pitch, there's no mistakes, so it sounds like a studio recording. She's done this song a lot and has it down to a science. However, that's not true of other songs she's done like Adele's Rolling in The Deep - she makes some mistakes throughout and isn't as used to that style as this.
@@xejelah Yes indeed. Most of these singers in these competitions are forced to sing according to certain themes so they sometimes get out of their comfort zone like Aida with Adele's Rolling in The Deep. I really like her and also one of the judges later in the program took a personal interest in her helping her forward with her singing career
As a former Sweet Adeline we were taught that vibrato will NOT make chords ring. I prefer singers that don't use vibrato or overdo it when using expressive license. What really gets my dander up is when singers slide up and the word "banner" during America's national anthem.
If you think she has perfect pitch you are wrong.. if you think those notes are perfectly pitched you are right.. upon waveform analysis Fil from wings of pegasus thinks the producers added auto tune AFTER the audition to make it more controversial (x factor was caught using autotune in the UK version btw) if you search his page for the video you can see his analysis.. it is pretty obvious when you see the waveforms of this performance and her other videos.. she is AMAZING but not perfect
@@marinav.8698For me as a Slav , both languages sound pretty similar but I can notice the difference... I can understand some Russian and Ukrainian and I'm from Serbia. I really can't believe that you are not able to understand each other at all...
@@miloshdjordjevic the point is that we ukrainians knows russian language, but russians do not understand ukrainian. They can understand some similar words, but can't understand a sense of phrases.
I know I've watched that audition dozens of times. She is mesmerizing. I almost resented the way they glitzed her up trying to market her "better". She didn't need ANY of that!
She has a "golden voice" as I call it. You literally have to do NOTHING to her voice. You could record her singing a song, add the music and it'd be ready to release. MAYBE you can give it a very slight echo effect to make it sound even better but her raw voice is basically perfect. I don't get why she is not world famous but other singers that need Autotune are.
you're quite wrong about the stiff jaw, the entire song is "e" "o" and "a" , you don't really need to move your jaw too much to sing that. instead you have to hold it in one place to keep the sound countinous
@@l.u._is_lost2848 well, we are talking about ukrainian talent girl. Odessa where she is from mostly russian speaking city, and also its does not mater what language she was singing, the talk about her amazing an exclusive voice.
Her voice is literally purely perfect. It sounds like vocals that have melodyne/ Low Retune Speed Autotune applied.. there was ZERO off notes. I’ve not heard a singer other then her have a voice like that.. utterly angelic.
Aida is beautiful and so is her voice - she made the judges look deservedly like idiots. They insulted her and essentially called her a fake. Bravissimo, Aida.
i would have considered that a compliment....it's like when i'm playing a video game so well that some guys write me that I'm a hacker and i like that lol
Everything I agreed with until 8:27 "she is singing with almost no vibrato" Bruh, whut!? She has one of the best vibratos I have ever heard. It's the kind of vibrato that is not forced and doesn't need you to manipulate it using your jaw. She just keeps her mouth in one position and her vocal chords do it. It's the best kind of vibrato for me since it doesn't go wide and away from the root note, it softly oscillates just enough to be a beautiful ornament to any note. And she uses it quite a bit here. Other singers with wide vibrato end up sounding extremely out of tune in their later years since they lose control of it cuz it damages their vocal chord to the point where they can't even correct it, they just keep doing it or sing with no vobrato at all (and for some of them this is also bad because from doing so much wide vibrato they forget how to hold a note in tune lol) This woman has been blessed with the most gorgeous vibrato.
@@martina1774 >"It was her voice with delay mixed into the track. It’s easy to do it" I agree that it is easy to add the effects into the track mix, but then how was she able to sound the same when the track was not being played? I think that is the point here.
I just have to mention that you're wrong about the lazy jaw thing and that words could be pronounced better. Russian is a very contrived language and your chin feels like is tucked in all the time and your jaw doesn't move much, is not a language with open vowels and projected sounds, just watch any russian talking or singing, it sounds like they're actually saving the effort. To make your jaw any more loose or lips more open would be the equivalent of someone singing in English and sticking their tongue out to sing their vowels better, it wouldn't be natural to the language even though it could potentially sound better to foreign listeners.
I tried to say the same thing in English and Russian, and I did notice that my jaw doesn't move as much compared to when I speak in English. I never noticed this difference till now.
Apparently, that has to do with the climate of each country. Warmer countries speak languages with more vowels so they require a more open mouth, thus the stiffness of Russian language.
NovaLife If the Judges were suspicious to the point that they told her to sing again, it’s probably because it is not a common way of singing. Do all Russian sing like this? Humans are like instruments, you sound based on your physiology and how you are tuned (which could be natural or environmentally impacted).
Yea I'm asian and my language uses more open vowels & mostly jaw dropped with strong tongue control. There's literally no such thing as as "perfect jaw movement"
I remember the first time I saw this video several years ago, and I was mesmerized by Aida's voice, and I couldn't understand why the judges would have thought she was lip-syncing... until I saw this video. The acapella performance pretty much cleared all that up though.😉👍
Love your comment about it being your favorite viral audition video. This woman's voice is just a gift. There's nothing else to call it. She truly is amazing. When I first heard her audition, I was stunned and felt mesmerized by her voice.
She didn't even apply to be on the show. She self taught and has her own YT channel. She should of made it bigger than she has in my eyes. Wonderful artist and yes, very beautiful. The judges mentioned that she sounded like dvd quality and why they thought she was lip syncing.
Aida's voice naturally has a rare ability to reverberate so as to sound like two voices. So, as she sings, there's that resonant echoing quality that naturally sounded like perhaps she was singing to a recording that also had her voice on it. Tibetan monks also have that ability - the "Flanger effect."
There is another thing that makes it look fake, she doesn't inhale a lot of air! When I watch this video, that's always what is throwing me off because I know what it would take me in air to keep the notes. So she must have a crazy good lungs capacity to hold those notes !
She has perfect pitch, and to be honest they spoiled her as this original audition is much better than the recording of it she made. Why they want to change singers that are perfect anyway is beyond me! I've listened to this so many times, it's simply angelic.
Thank you for your attention to details. With so many scams that are there in todays society, it is such a good feeling to knowing that one as yourself will step up and be accountable. I will be 71 this year. I heard Aida back in 2009/2010 and her lullaby gave me comfort. I’m also half Russian and ☘️.... Thank you my friend, Bob
In first part of Aida singing, there is a clear echo effect in sound track... it is not about lip sync, but something like “singing along”. Your unknown “Flanger effect” it’s a new name for well known overtone (or polyphonic) singing. (I want to say “well known in some countries” Example: m.th-cam.com/video/vC9Qh709gas/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for this information you’re very professional and expert.. I saw this video before but I liked it even more when i watched your reaction
The produces actually ruined this because in post production they did alter the pitch to make her sound more articial to make it more dramatic as if the judges really had good reason to stop her. She is actaully much better. All the analysis comments at the end are non sense because it's not her actual voice.
it's not the jaw that's causing the sound but her nasal cavity... not something most people have control over since it just kinda ends up how it ends up as you grow but it does impact the sound of your voice more than people seem to realize... until you have a cold and that hollow cavity isn't there to resonate in it's normal way.
I had seen this video couple times before but couldn't understand what they were saying but had an idea.. Seeing the caption made this even more exciting to watch.. thanks for the info.
Thank you for the video. This was one of my favorite performances. Although she became extremely famous in her country it is a shame we have hardly heard of her in this country.
This audition never gets old! Leave a comment now, I'll be picking the most creative one and pinning it!! (But first, I'll pin this one so everybody can see!) Good Luck!
it is impossible cheeky! why then this lady? why shouldn't this version grow old? Aida sang cover, but very close to the original, and that is one song that Aida has succeeded in doing. Here is original th-cam.com/video/XUaTdMVMDFo/w-d-xo.html Aida must to be ashamed! Hype, hype! disgusting! after the x factor Aida gave "concerts" and there she sang the song "Lullaby" and it is impossible, because copyright for text and design is protected in accordance with Russian and international law. The copyright is vested in the author, Polina Gagarina composed the song "Lullaby" herself at the age of 17. And now Polina performed in 2019 in China with her own song „Lullaby“ in a new arrangement. th-cam.com/video/cSO1GuJBMBw/w-d-xo.html Her vocal range is stunning.
Geheimnis Geheimnis I've just listened to the 2019 version, it's great. As for thia x factor version, a cover is never good as the original especially since I always respect the author and composer of the original! Besides, at these shows people usually sing covers, sometimes there's a fuss about them, sometimes not, but it means very little if you don't write a good song for yourself! Aida doesn't have to be ashamed because people are always more likely to listen to a song they already know than an original. If anything, it's hard if they only remember you from a cover, it's hard to shake that off! So this viral "success" maybe even made it harder for her to make it in music. Anyhow, it was a nice performance, but Polina is the real deal ;) sorry for the long comment
she should be ashamed of her deeds, Aida sang Polina's Lullaby at own concerts. Concerts are not a song contest and Aida did not get any music rights from Polina, that is punishable. Okay, an example: a stranger comes to your home and brings along a lot of strangers that you obviously don't know. All these people come to you every day, eat your food, use your towels would you like it? That what I mean „to be ashamed“ because one works hard and the other takes what doesn't belong to him. Yes, at the "SINGER 2019" competition in China Polina sang Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera cover instagram.com/tv/Bv4uCwHo63D/?igshid=92c3fb73h5l7 th-cam.com/video/UT_V4wyCZKw/w-d-xo.html but not at her own concerts, at them she sings only her songs, here is a final song at her concert. th-cam.com/video/gv7Arp3vIgc/w-d-xo.html
@@geheimnis5235 oh, I didn't understand that she didn't get the rights, sorry. Sometimes the author gives permission for their songs to be performed live, even get some commision for that (that's the way 2cellos play covers live in their concerts, but they have permission of every author to do so). In that case, she shouldn't perform it live!
That means you don't move the jaw much lol did you even listen? It has nothing to do with singing hability, he just said it could be the most misleading thing for the judges
I also think the track has a spacious delay effect prerecorded on it to further enhance the sound. If you listen closely to when she sings with the track, her voice has this synthetic reverb effect so she probably has prerecorded vocals with the dry end cut off a lot to only get the reverb. You can also better hear this when she recorded a studio version.
She sings in Russian. " Please ask the clouds To gift us beautiful, tender dreams. The night is flowing And we are flowing with it, into the world of mysterious dreams!"
You are a very good teacher! I learned a few things from you. Helped to hear you really explain what you were talking about with this audition. I had seen this audition before and wondered the same about a recording!
I have seen this video years ago and always though that she has some kind of delayed echo in her voice, your explanation about flanger is more realistic..Thank you
I thought that robotic sound was poor video quality.. You just explained this so well, and much more went into this than I could imagine. Great work my man
The song was performed in Russian, not in Ukrainian. But I really love the Ukrainian language, because it is very melodic and beautiful. And it’s really nice to know that there are people with such clean and beautiful voices.
I think that the author is either really very much mistaken, or wants to hype and thus add to his fame. But there is one very serious reason to think that this is a fake, i.e. the video that it evaluates. This is not the original video! I also thought that the voice on the video was a little processed. Perhaps that's why it feels like a fake. If you listen to the original video, the voice of Aida Nikolaichuk sounds very clean. This video is more than 8 years old. Now she is a very famous singer in Ukraine, Russia and other post-Soviet republics. After participating in a Mozart show on a Japanese TV channel, she became quite famous in Japan as well. She is really very talented,she has such a clear crystal voice by nature, at the time of her appearance on the X-Factor program, she was 29 years old and worked as a cashier in a supermarket. Not all professional singers have such a beautiful voice. So you are deeply mistaken.
I only speak English so I did not know what she was singing. But this is also is my favorite audition. It's so beautiful that you dont need to know the words. I can feel what the song is about. Awesome voice and very stunning beauty. But in Ukraine there are so many beautiful woman.
i liked this so much that even learn the lirycs to sing along on my car while driving / i'm catalonian and can't speak russian at all). i think i've been listening it 3 years already and even get it on my phone. i like it more that the version of polina gagarina
Is it just me? She went on the show to sing. They controlled the music. How would she come on a tv show about singing, give them a tape and have them play it?
You can also bring your own track if you gotta sing an og or a mix. Grace Vanderwaal is a proper example for the first case. But I'm pretty sure that it's been checked before.
Aida Nikolaitchuk : The Lady from Ukraine with the natural gift ! She is just an amazing vocalist that lacks confidence on this audition however she did an incredible job . The judges were confused because her voice sounds "too good to be true" but she is the real deal .
Mr. H :::: Everything you said was right on.....I have watched Aida's video 1000 X,,,,Beautiful girl, beautiful voice, beautiful language,& beautiful lyrics .....It gives me tears each time.......
I think you mean, like an echo effect. Akin to singing in a tight stairwell, where the echo is not distinctively delayed, just slightly - near imperceptible. At least that's how I would describe it.
I am so glad you made this video and talked about the effect of her voice. I often wondered how the backing track could have what sounds like her own vocal doubled up and delayed the way it sounds before she is asked to sing a capella. It frustrated me because it did not ever sound the same to me once she had no backing track. Yet people said she sounds the same whether she has the track or not. I don't know how to spell what you suggested to google but I want to learn more. Can you tell us any other vocalist who also have that naturally in their sound? I wish I could sign up for a lesson with you.
If you're interested in lessons, you can send me an email to singeverythinginfo@gmail.com As fir her voice, I didn't say she used an effect on her voice, I said her voice naturally sounded pretty much like a flanger effect. I can't think of anyone sounding like this at the moment, but people make a lot of different sounds with their voice, it shouldn't come as too much of a shock. There are beatboxers out there that can imitate dubstep perfectly without any added effect except a bit EQ.
Perfect analysis. Let me say this, she is singing effortlessly, even high pitch notes r uttered without protruding her veins out in her neck. And the jaws r moving so casually as if she is talking kindly to a person
I dont really like kpop but I have a ton of respect for the artists. Learning the choreography is hard enough on it's own that I wouldn't even mind them lip syncing once in a while
Aida forgot the words to a Whitney Houston song later in the competition but won anyway because she flawlessly performed three delightful musical comedy show tunes that allowed her to show her considerable acting talent. One video revealed that when the winner's limo showed up at her hotel she was in the crowd waiting to see who won the competition. The limo driver had to search for her in the crowd to tell her that the limo was for her.
Thank you for this react video. I was blown away by her voice and irate that they stopped her and insinuated that she was faking it. And deliriously happy to see her prove them wrong and continue her fabulous singing. I am glad to hear now that there was actually a good reason for them to be a bit suspicious about this performance. Cool, that she won this competition, too.
At first I was going to blast you out if you said she was fake because her voice is beautiful and she practiced this song at home every time she heard it, so she was practicing with the sounds on the radio. She brought tears to to my eyes hearing her sing acapella and still gives me goosebumps hearing her sing that song and that is something no singer has done to me while listening to them. I was so happy she won! She is amazing! I do feel a little bad for the original singer of the song and I have heard her original version and think 100% Ada sings it so much better with so much heart! I don't understand a word of the song but it's beautiful.
Thanks so much for this video, I learned a lot from you. Also I enjoyed very much listening to the singer. You make very good videos. I hope you have a wonderful 2020 New Year and God bless you. Mary Lou 🌷 and Little Grace 🐕 🌹🐾 💑💜💕

In first part of Aida singing, there is a clear echo effect in sound track... it is not about lip sync, but something like “singing along”. Your unknown “Flanger effect” it’s a new name for well known overtone (or polyphonic) singing. (I want to say “well known in some countries” Example:
m.th-cam.com/video/vC9Qh709gas/w-d-xo.html
She is NOT fake. She has perfect and absolute pitch. Only 4% of the world population has this ability.
Thank you so much for this information you’re very professional and expert.. I saw this video before but I liked it even more when i watched your reaction
This is also one of my favorite auditions EVER. I really enjoyed your commentary ❤
She's singing beautifully. She probably isn't used to singing in front of so many people.
The produces actually ruined this because in post production they did alter the pitch to make her sound more articial to make it more dramatic as if the judges really had good reason to stop her. She is actaully much better. All the analysis comments at the end are non sense because it's not her actual voice.
She is one of my favs to go yo ,talent wise. Thank you for proving she us legit. Hugs from Sweden.
it's not the jaw that's causing the sound but her nasal cavity... not something most people have control over since it just kinda ends up how it ends up as you grow but it does impact the sound of your voice more than people seem to realize... until you have a cold and that hollow cavity isn't there to resonate in it's normal way.
I had seen this video couple times before but couldn't understand what they were saying but had an idea.. Seeing the caption made this even more exciting to watch.. thanks for the info.
She is in key and harmonizing with the music giving the effect of another voice(track voice) being played in the background.
Thank you for the video. This was one of my favorite performances. Although she became extremely famous in her country it is a shame we have hardly heard of her in this country.
The judge's made her sing without the music and she sounded just the same
autotune
@@dgenaropa no auto tune. That was the point. She sounded the same.
@@dgenaropa u dumb 🤕
@@dgenaropa there was no auto tune..
@@dgenaropa i don't think so maybe the original song have auto tone than this hahaha
I've seen this video for several times before. But I've never listened such interesting opinions and explanations. Thank you it was very interesting
This audition never gets old! Leave a comment now, I'll be picking the most creative one and pinning it!! (But first, I'll pin this one so everybody can see!) Good Luck!
it is impossible cheeky! why then this lady? why shouldn't this version grow old? Aida sang cover, but very close to the original, and that is one song that Aida has succeeded in doing. Here is original

Aida must to be ashamed! Hype, hype! disgusting!
after the x factor Aida gave "concerts" and there she sang the song "Lullaby" and it is impossible, because
copyright for text and design is protected in accordance with Russian and international law.
The copyright is vested in the author, Polina Gagarina composed the song "Lullaby" herself at the age of 17. And now Polina performed in 2019 in China with her own song „Lullaby“ in a new arrangement. th-cam.com/video/cSO1GuJBMBw/w-d-xo.html
Her vocal range is stunning.
and here is Original live Polina Gagarina „Lullaby“ (First Version) th-cam.com/video/rRKE2KxHrtQ/w-d-xo.html
Greetings from Germany
Geheimnis Geheimnis I've just listened to the 2019 version, it's great. As for thia x factor version, a cover is never good as the original especially since I always respect the author and composer of the original! Besides, at these shows people usually sing covers, sometimes there's a fuss about them, sometimes not, but it means very little if you don't write a good song for yourself! Aida doesn't have to be ashamed because people are always more likely to listen to a song they already know than an original. If anything, it's hard if they only remember you from a cover, it's hard to shake that off! So this viral "success" maybe even made it harder for her to make it in music. Anyhow, it was a nice performance, but Polina is the real deal ;) sorry for the long comment
she should be ashamed of her deeds, Aida sang Polina's Lullaby at own concerts. Concerts are not a song contest and Aida did not get any music rights from Polina, that is punishable. Okay, an example: a stranger comes to your home and brings along a lot of strangers that you obviously don't know. All these people come to you every day, eat your food, use your towels would you like it? That what I mean „to be ashamed“ because one works hard and the other takes what doesn't belong to him. Yes, at the "SINGER 2019" competition in China Polina sang Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera cover instagram.com/tv/Bv4uCwHo63D/?igshid=92c3fb73h5l7
th-cam.com/video/UT_V4wyCZKw/w-d-xo.html
but not at her own concerts, at them she sings only her songs, here is a final song at her concert.

@@geheimnis5235 oh, I didn't understand that she didn't get the rights, sorry. Sometimes the author gives permission for their songs to be performed live, even get some commision for that (that's the way 2cellos play covers live in their concerts, but they have permission of every author to do so). In that case, she shouldn't perform it live!
Thank you for this reaction. I enjoyed this video when it went viral and it was a pleasure to hear it again.
One of my favourite singing auditions. Aida looks and sounds beautiful. Одно из моих любимых прослушиваний. Аида выглядит и звучит красиво.
You're right. One of the best performance. Love it so many years.
"Lazy jaw"? She was singing effortessly. I followed her journey in X Factor and she sings the same way. She won X Factor.
That means you don't move the jaw much lol did you even listen? It has nothing to do with singing hability, he just said it could be the most misleading thing for the judges
I also think the track has a spacious delay effect prerecorded on it to further enhance the sound. If you listen closely to when she sings with the track, her voice has this synthetic reverb effect so she probably has prerecorded vocals with the dry end cut off a lot to only get the reverb. You can also better hear this when she recorded a studio version.
She sings in Russian.
" Please ask the clouds
To gift us beautiful, tender dreams.
The night is flowing
And we are flowing with it, into the world of mysterious dreams!"
You are a very good teacher! I learned a few things from you. Helped to hear you really explain what you were talking about with this audition. I had seen this audition before and wondered the same about a recording!
she is in effortless mode...... so judges were in doubt..
Brilliant! Thank you so much for the great explanation, my friend.
I love rewatching that video cause it's so satisfying to show the judges a real deal talented women.
Excellent explanation my friend . I'm not a singer but am a guitarist snd it wasn't until i found you and you explained it perfect. Again Thank You !
You call yourself vocal coach right then you couldn’t tell that her song sound highly auto tuned and edited you said it after hearing from the judges
Love this video! She is amazing
I have seen this video years ago and always though that she has some kind of delayed echo in her voice, your explanation about flanger is more realistic..Thank you
I thought that robotic sound was poor video quality..
You just explained this so well, and much more went into this than I could imagine.
Great work my man
6:32 russian language in this case)
I remember watching this back then and still love watching it today and listen to her music that she has recorded.
You missed one really important fact? she has perfect pitch.
7:51 Man I am subscribing your channel just because you mentioned Freddie Mercury😍😍😍
This is my favorite singing ever, i can't get enough of her voice, beautiful to ear.
Her audition (video) actually led me to discover polina gagarina in 2015.
The song was performed in Russian, not in Ukrainian. But I really love the Ukrainian language, because it is very melodic and beautiful. And it’s really nice to know that there are people with such clean and beautiful voices.
I think that the author is either really very much mistaken, or wants to hype and thus add to his fame. But there is one very serious reason to think that this is a fake, i.e. the video that it evaluates. This is not the original video! I also thought that the voice on the video was a little processed. Perhaps that's why it feels like a fake. If you listen to the original video, the voice of Aida Nikolaichuk sounds very clean. This video is more than 8 years old. Now she is a very famous singer in Ukraine, Russia and other post-Soviet republics. After participating in a Mozart show on a Japanese TV channel, she became quite famous in Japan as well. She is really very talented,she has such a clear crystal voice by nature, at the time of her appearance on the X-Factor program, she was 29 years old and worked as a cashier in a supermarket. Not all professional singers have such a beautiful voice. So you are deeply mistaken.
I only speak English so I did not know what she was singing. But this is also is my favorite audition. It's so beautiful that you dont need to know the words. I can feel what the song is about. Awesome voice and very stunning beauty. But in Ukraine there are so many beautiful woman.
Same
Bro u said all necessary things we feel during watching this video...that was making me so satisfying...thanks man
I always get goosebumps when I see her sing this song. Especially this very video.
Thanks for breaking this video down, it’s got to be one of my all time favorites too!
Her video is at least two or three years old and yes I've watched it many times. Good vibes every time.
Aida is very special. I used to get messages from her by video. I haven't heard from her in quite a while. I pray that she is doing well.
i liked this so much that even learn the lirycs to sing along on my car while driving / i'm catalonian and can't speak russian at all). i think i've been listening it 3 years already and even get it on my phone. i like it more that the version of polina gagarina
There's a lyric version of the original singer and it has it spelled out how to pronounce all the words in the way it sounds in the song.
One of my favorite videos!
H of The Stage, 6:32 I'm glad you like it, but it's Russian language, not Ukrainian +D
Luckily she is ukrainian and not russian 😅
@@olha2415 judging by her name she's not ukrainian but rather russian jew +)
I listened to Aida and Polina with eyes closed... Think Aida sounds more soothing and versatile.
And probably the greatest mic drop of all is she won her season..
Great review , always loved this video, never seen anyone review it. Super cool.
Is it just me? She went on the show to sing. They controlled the music. How would she come on a tv show about singing, give them a tape and have them play it?
You can also bring your own track if you gotta sing an og or a mix. Grace Vanderwaal is a proper example for the first case.
But I'm pretty sure that it's been checked before.
So how about an update...how has her career been since this audition?
I heard she won that one!
When your voice is good but everyone say its fake
Aida Nikolaitchuk : The Lady from Ukraine with the natural gift ! She is just an amazing vocalist that lacks confidence on this audition however she did an incredible job . The judges were confused because her voice sounds "too good to be true" but she is the real deal .
Thank you for your reaction.
By the way she was singing in Russian not Ukrainian😉
Mr. H :::: Everything you said was right on.....I have watched Aida's video 1000 X,,,,Beautiful girl, beautiful voice, beautiful language,& beautiful lyrics .....It gives me tears each time.......
ok I watched an online presentation ..)) she has the uniquely throat singing ability .. when the sound originates deep inside and not in the tongue
I think you mean, like an echo effect. Akin to singing in a tight stairwell, where the echo is not distinctively delayed, just slightly - near imperceptible. At least that's how I would describe it.
She is totally self-trained at this point from listening and singing along with the original.
I am so glad you made this video and talked about the effect of her voice. I often wondered how the backing track could have what sounds like her own vocal doubled up and delayed the way it sounds before she is asked to sing a capella. It frustrated me because it did not ever sound the same to me once she had no backing track. Yet people said she sounds the same whether she has the track or not. I don't know how to spell what you suggested to google but I want to learn more. Can you tell us any other vocalist who also have that naturally in their sound? I wish I could sign up for a lesson with you.
If you're interested in lessons, you can send me an email to singeverythinginfo@gmail.com
As fir her voice, I didn't say she used an effect on her voice, I said her voice naturally sounded pretty much like a flanger effect. I can't think of anyone sounding like this at the moment, but people make a lot of different sounds with their voice, it shouldn't come as too much of a shock. There are beatboxers out there that can imitate dubstep perfectly without any added effect except a bit EQ.
Perfect analysis. Let me say this, she is singing effortlessly, even high pitch notes r uttered without protruding her veins out in her neck. And the jaws r moving so casually as if she is talking kindly to a person
I loved that video since the very first time I saw it some years ago.
And now I've just loved your comments about it. Thanks a lot!
Dude kpop, cpop, jpop, etc do their performances 100-50 % live with HEAVY professional dancing. They work their asses off to be able to do that.
I dont really like kpop but I have a ton of respect for the artists. Learning the choreography is hard enough on it's own that I wouldn't even mind them lip syncing once in a while
Aida forgot the words to a Whitney Houston song later in the competition but won anyway because she flawlessly performed three delightful musical comedy show tunes that allowed her to show her considerable acting talent. One video revealed that when the winner's limo showed up at her hotel she was in the crowd waiting to see who won the competition. The limo driver had to search for her in the crowd to tell her that the limo was for her.
Thank you for this react video. I was blown away by her voice and irate that they stopped her and insinuated that she was faking it. And deliriously happy to see her prove them wrong and continue her fabulous singing. I am glad to hear now that there was actually a good reason for them to be a bit suspicious about this performance. Cool, that she won this competition, too.
At first I was going to blast you out if you said she was fake because her voice is beautiful and she practiced this song at home every time she heard it, so she was practicing with the sounds on the radio. She brought tears to to my eyes hearing her sing acapella and still gives me goosebumps hearing her sing that song and that is something no singer has done to me while listening to them. I was so happy she won! She is amazing! I do feel a little bad for the original singer of the song and I have heard her original version and think 100% Ada sings it so much better with so much heart! I don't understand a word of the song but it's beautiful.
