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.
Yes, this is not the voice of an 18 years old, or even 18000 years old... This is the voice of a miracle... Just see the air volume at the end part... Just WOW
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. Thanks for sharing her talents and yours with all of us! Loch sloy! ~Be Blessed
That deep chesty belty section at the end (sorry about terminology, I'm no singer) is not just really powerful but it sounds so gorgeous. The whole song is beautifully haunting and a little dark. Just lovely to my ears.

Такого чарующего космического ГОЛОСА как у ДИАНЫ АНКУДИНОВОЙ больше НЕТ нигде и ни у кого. Врождённая УНИКАЛЬНАЯ ВОКАЛИСТКА и ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНАЯ АРТИСТКА на современной МИРОВОЙ ПЕСЕННОЙ ЭСТРАДЕ. Красавица, ДИАНУ нужно рекламировать, чтоб она получила международное признание. Ей 18 лет.
I know it reads weirdly, but the sheer disbelief in your face, Beth, pleases me a lot! Diana is a wonder. Btw, please check out "Crow" and "Duduk" from her!!! They're outstanding in my opinion!
You're the 4th or 5th vocal coach who'se said they want to look down Diana Ankudinova's throat and in my (lay) view they were the ones who also offered the most knowledgeable and insightfull and emotionaly true analysis. You deffinately are there in the top 5. I just wish you could find more time for Diana
Diana really has a "magical" voice, and an exceptionally high-quality arrangement and transition from major to minor tuning also, contributes to the overall performance! The comment and reaction are really great and very competent! Well ... Bravo for Diana! And Bravo for the reaction! Greetings from Croatia!
Oh yah!! You will have to checkout her newest one on this show named the “Crow”. Wow does she ever have an extremely high “almost” yodeling I’ve never heard her do. Sounds so tribal like Indian chanting. Love always some Diana. Thanks for reacting. Can’t wait to see you do the Crow!!🙏🏼🌹💕
What a great reaction and analysis! Thank you! Diana Ankudinova is such a perfect storm! She was born with a body that can make sounds unachievable by virtually anyone else. And she very early on became very determined to master music and vocal technique. And she has a natural talent which has allowed her to learn these things very well and very quickly. And she has a commitment to living the emotions of the songs she sings as she sings them. And she has the actor's insight that allows her to do this effectively. She is a tremendous gift to the world, and there will never be another like her!
C возвращением в мир Дианы! Невероятное выступление Дианы!!! Просто потрясающее!!! И классная эмоциональная реакция!!! Диане - браво!!! А за реакцию - лайк и спасибо!!! Welcome back to Diana's world! Diana's incredible performance !!! Simply amazing !!! And great emotional reaction !!! Diana - bravo !!! And for the reaction - like and thanks !!!
This was performed on the first episode. This past Saturday she performed the seventh song (Crow). You also need to check out her "It is not yet evening" .. I think that was the third episode. She has put several of the performances on her TH-cam channel .. full stereo with subtitles and the reactions of the other singers/judges on the show
Да не просто Богиня, а негодующая, страстная, пылающая, посылающая электрические заряды( все спецэффекты позади нее!) Вот теперь я понимаю, что за Сирены были в греческой мифологии, которые моряков с ума сводили своим пением и заставляли разбиваться скалы !
Thank you very much for such an emotional reaction. The song performed by Diana is a musical masterpiece. This performance touches me deeply, to the depths of my soul. Bravo, Diana!! And your reaction is great! Diana performs in the Showmastgoon program on NTV and sang some more great songs. We are waiting for the following reactions to Diana, she has something else to surprise you with. Thank you in advance!
Thank for your beautiful reaction. If you want to continue in this Diana 's sound travel, i suggest you 2 songs in the same show: "The way" and "The Crow", 2 different ways to singer from Diana.
Эмоциональная реакция на выступление Дианы Анкудиновой!!! Спасибо за внимание к её творчеству!!! Уникальный голос!!! Замечательная АКТРИСА!!! БРАВО, ДИАНА, БРАВО!!! 💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕
Stunning! The emotional devastation this piece hits me with is overwhelming. Add in the very impressive graphics from NTV and this is world class in every way. Can't wait for the CD!
@@evgeniyushkalov8899 Голос в 5 октав у вас обычный? Зажрались вы, батенька. Кстати, у Дианы 4,5 октавы. Советую посмотреть как Пелагея поёт на нашествии, и прочих выступлениях. 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.
Сколько у Марка Бернеса октав. Чета никто его не перепел. Так что успокойтесь. Артист не только отавами силен. Я очень рад что у нас есть Пелагея, Диана, Полина. Очень достойные певицы, и похуй на ихние октавы.
Nice reaction )) Thank God for Uncle Sasha spotting Diana's natural talent when she was a little child and encouraging her , He and Diana are legends )))
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!!
Это было ФАНТАСТИЧНО! Меня прибило к стулу и весь мир перестал существовать, кроме нее. Это НЕВЕРОЯТНО! Теперь я даже не знаю, кто лучше исполнил эту песню Элвис или Диана?!! ФАНТАСТИКА!!
А разве от версии Элвиса вас прибивало к стулу и весь мир переставал существовать, кроме нее? В зависимости от ответа на этот вопрос вы ответите и на второй. Но что-то мне кажется, что версия Дианы вам больше зашла. Мне, кстати, тоже: версию Элвиса воспринимаю всего лишь как приятную песенку в хорошем исполнении. А тут - просто бомба.
Помню показали за 7 дней до ее выступления только 40 секунд и это взорвало интернет! От полной версии мурашки и озноб! А находиться там в студии - вообще можно дара речи лишиться!!! Это шедеврально на все времена!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Да так взорвало, что интернет до сих пор не работает, в каком только месте был взрыв- не понятно. Мурашки и озноб- это у тебя от короновируса. А про попасть в студию- даже и не мечтай: извращенцам вход туда заказан.
Beth, I think that you may have been misinformed. From everything I have heard and read, Diana is not an Alto, but a true Contralto. She can go lower and deeper than Cher. Otherwise, I totally agree with all of this. She's AMAZING at what she does and UNIQUE. Luv ya!
The fact is, “alto“ is not a vocal FACH anyway. It’s a part given to in choirs, for whatever strange reason, (Even Sopranos can end up playing the “alto” part if there’s a lack of lower voiced females],but the true name is contralto.
Loved your commentary Beth thanks .She tried to attend the second best music school in Russia the audition went well then they gave her a vocal exam and said her vocal anatomy just didnt look normal at all so they turned her down.🤯 Diana then applied to the top school in the country and was excepted .👍🤩😍 Thats crazy but it worked out for the best. 👏👏👏👏👏
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...
Diana is a rising Russian star. I liked your analysis and sincere reaction to this song. In the meantime new songs performed by her in the show "Show mask go on", which is still underway, are available.
You are always so cute Beth :D and yeah, Goddess is a good word, or even Amazon warrior .. if there is any new Amazon female warriors movie, she should get the lead role with her thunderous voice, exotic beauty and excellent acting skills ^^
Thanks for your reaction! 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!
Thankyou for getting to this one, goddess was the word that came to mind the first time I saw it too. Subsequent watches have actually brought tears to my eyes. I don't know if she will ever be seen by most of the viewing public, but wow, it is nice to know she exists. Thanks for giving us the chance to share the song with our favorite "singing expert friend" here.
Дианочка Супер девочка моя любимая певица и актриса Супер! Певица номер один в России и не только в России но и в мире королева мурашек чудо ребёнок такие как Диана рождаются одна на 1000000000
I’ve heard elsewhere that she has a polyphonic (the ability to sing more than one note at the same time) contralto (low almost baritone) female voice. It is truly one of a kind.
Hi Beth. Thanks for your intelligent thoughtful reaction. I loved it. For something very different and fantastic from the same show listen to "Oh It Is Not Yet Evening" and also "I Am A Crow". Best wishes from Jerry in Cape Town South Africa.
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: th-cam.com/play/PLhVBmobu-XO9izXuLezwxvgY1NfKpAxqS.html (The long versions contain the reactions of the other candidates and they have subtitles) Diana's official channel with lots of subtitles and original songs : th-cam.com/channels/gbtr4QB6kk7WadvVoYk61g.html Fans de Diana Ankudinova (France) : facebook.com/groups/DianaAnkudinovaFrance/
Good Morning from Poland !!! I am enthralled! Exceptional talent plus passionate work ethic gives you incredible performances like this. I cannot say enough how much time, effort and discipline Diana must have put in between Wicked Game and now to have developed this much while simultaneously her voice is still anatomically developing/growing/changing... Vey Happy Christmas and Happy New Year for all friends in Russia and not only !!!
Loved your reaction Beth! I've listened to this about 20 times and this performance is the only one that gives me chills every time! That includes all of my favorite artists! Have a blessed day!
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.
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...
Betting you are Scottish Beth, as am I. Not certain where, but loved the bubbly, friendly vibe you have. Also loved your expression when you heard Diana start to sing. It's a once in a lifetime experience for sure.
Considering her rough start in life, how miraculous is it that she ended up with people that recognized her potential and made sure she developed it?! The world is benefitting!! Love her!
Диана величайшая вокалистка ! Это её умение использовать свой дар и совершенствовать его ежечасно,работая над собой и своими возможностями поражает и восхищает. Её Дианастиль неподражаем !
Diana is a True Contralto, very very rare. Watch more, it gets better. She is 15yrs old in this performance, now as of 5/31/22 she is now 18yrs old. A True Superstar!
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 TH-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 TH-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 viewer: 'at the age of 5 she couldn't speak her own language, how can one see this and still doubt past lives?': th-cam.com/video/szDx59PZ8n8/w-d-xo.html
Never heard someone sing high to set up a crushing low range climax. Amazing.
Потому что Диана не такая, как все.
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.
Yes, this is not the voice of an 18 years old, or even 18000 years old... This is the voice of a miracle... Just see the air volume at the end part... Just WOW
Damn that's some haunting vocals there! Mother Russia should be proud of her!

Она в состоянии исполнить вокализ, который сдерет с вас шкуру, а затем вернёт обратно. Вы скажете, что новая шкура сидит лучше, чем было ранее.
That deep chesty belty section at the end (sorry about terminology, I'm no singer) is not just really powerful but it sounds so gorgeous. The whole song is beautifully haunting and a little dark. Just lovely to my ears.
lol... the end section you think the universe is speaking to you... this gets around your brain/body directly to you soul... 😍❤️

her latest one the white crow is the best one yet from Diana, wait till you see it! :)
I know it reads weirdly, but the sheer disbelief in your face, Beth, pleases me a lot! Diana is a wonder. Btw, please check out "Crow" and "Duduk" from her!!! They're outstanding in my opinion!
You're the 4th or 5th vocal coach who'se said they want to look down Diana Ankudinova's throat and in my (lay) view they were the ones who also offered the most knowledgeable and insightfull and emotionaly true analysis. You deffinately are there in the top 5. I just wish you could find more time for Diana
😅🤭
Diana really has a "magical" voice, and an exceptionally high-quality arrangement and transition from major to minor tuning also, contributes to the overall performance! The comment and reaction are really great and very competent! Well ... Bravo for Diana! And Bravo for the reaction! Greetings from Croatia!
WOW ! JUST SIMPLY WOW ! She has the most haunting and emotional singing voice I've heard in quite some time .
Oh yah!! You will have to checkout her newest one on this show named the “Crow”. Wow does she ever have an extremely high “almost” yodeling I’ve never heard her do. Sounds so tribal like Indian chanting. Love always some Diana. Thanks for reacting. Can’t wait to see you do the Crow!!🙏🏼🌹💕
What a great reaction and analysis! Thank you!
Diana Ankudinova is such a perfect storm! She was born with a body that can make sounds unachievable by virtually anyone else. And she very early on became very determined to master music and vocal technique. And she has a natural talent which has allowed her to learn these things very well and very quickly. And she has a commitment to living the emotions of the songs she sings as she sings them. And she has the actor's insight that allows her to do this effectively. She is a tremendous gift to the world, and there will never be another like her!
One of the best contralto singers in the last 100 years.
C возвращением в мир Дианы!
Невероятное выступление Дианы!!!
Просто потрясающее!!!
И классная эмоциональная реакция!!!
Диане - браво!!! А за реакцию - лайк и спасибо!!!
Welcome back to Diana's world!
Diana's incredible performance !!!
Simply amazing !!!
And great emotional reaction !!!
Diana - bravo !!! And for the reaction - like and thanks !!!
This was performed on the first episode. This past Saturday she performed the seventh song (Crow). You also need to check out her "It is not yet evening" .. I think that was the third episode. She has put several of the performances on her TH-cam channel .. full stereo with subtitles and the reactions of the other singers/judges on the show
Thank you!!! Super Diana-18yo!!! Amazing!!! Awesome!!!
Диана Анкудинова уникальна , её голос неповторим !
Вы верно говорите , Диана звучит , как Богиня ! Поющая Богиня !
Да не просто Богиня, а негодующая, страстная, пылающая, посылающая электрические заряды( все спецэффекты позади нее!) Вот теперь я понимаю, что за Сирены были в греческой мифологии, которые моряков с ума сводили своим пением и заставляли разбиваться скалы !
Thank you very much for such an emotional reaction. The song performed by Diana is a musical masterpiece. This performance touches me deeply, to the depths of my soul. Bravo, Diana!! And your reaction is great! Diana performs in the Showmastgoon program on NTV and sang some more great songs. We are waiting for the following reactions to Diana, she has something else to surprise you with. Thank you in advance!
👑Diana👑 has an insanely beautiful voice, goosebumps from the first to the last note!!!👏👏👏💖Great reaction, thank you!👌
Thank for your beautiful reaction. If you want to continue in this Diana 's sound travel, i suggest you 2 songs in the same show: "The way" and "The Crow", 2 different ways to singer from Diana.
Check out her song Crow if you really want to be amazed by Diana’s voice, creativity and stage presence.
A beautiful performer on the inside and out. No one makes you feel like Diana.
I thought it was outrageous - and then I saw her do Vorona...
or in English "crow".Yeah, checked it out. You wouldn't be disappointed, like at all .It's even more witchy, mesmerizing and mystical🙂👌🤘🌈💎
Fantastically beautiful performance! How this voice sounds! DIANA ANKUDINOVA is an amazing ARTIST! Bravo! Thanks for the emotions!
Эмоциональная реакция на выступление Дианы Анкудиновой!!!
Спасибо за внимание к её творчеству!!!
Уникальный голос!!!
Замечательная АКТРИСА!!!
БРАВО, ДИАНА, БРАВО!!! 💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕
Stunning! The emotional devastation this piece hits me with is overwhelming. Add in the very impressive graphics from NTV and this is world class in every way.
Can't wait for the CD!
Оружие музыкального массового поражения от Дианы!

Thank you for your reaction to the young and unique singer Diana Ankudinova)
Diana Ankudinova 👑 ♥️
Диана Анкудинова это Явление.Другой такой певицы нет и пока не предвидится в обозримом будущем.Диана безусловный талант.
Пелагея.
EN MI VIDA ESCUCHÉ UNA VOZ QUE ME ATRAPE TANTO COMO LA DE DIANA,ES UNA MARAVILLA!! GRACIAS X TU EMOTIVA REACCIÓN!!
@@evgeniyushkalov8899 Голос в 5 октав у вас обычный? Зажрались вы, батенька. Кстати, у Дианы 4,5 октавы. Советую посмотреть как Пелагея поёт на нашествии, и прочих выступлениях. 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.
Сколько у Марка Бернеса октав. Чета никто его не перепел. Так что успокойтесь. Артист не только отавами силен. Я очень рад что у нас есть Пелагея, Диана, Полина. Очень достойные певицы, и похуй на ихние октавы.
@@ВиталийВеличко-э1э Марка Бернеса так же пиарили как Пелагею? Не ровняйте легенду и выскочку. был с женой на ее концерте - ушли на после 6-й песни...
Nice reaction ))
Thank God for Uncle Sasha spotting Diana's natural talent when she was a little child and encouraging her , He and Diana are legends )))
DIANA-DIVA!!!!!!! SUPERB!!! SUUPERB!!!!!! SUUUPERB!!!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVISIMO!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Diana "unchained".....when she let's is all go, it will blow your hair off. She is amazing. Such growth with more to come
Thanks! You're so positive.
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!!
This girl has been leaving me speechless for the last five years.
Hi Beth.Brilliant reaction.You know what you´re speaking about.Thanks.
Это было ФАНТАСТИЧНО! Меня прибило к стулу и весь мир перестал существовать, кроме нее. Это НЕВЕРОЯТНО! Теперь я даже не знаю, кто лучше исполнил эту песню Элвис или Диана?!! ФАНТАСТИКА!!
Это две разные песни с одинаковым названием.
Не парься, оба хороши.
Definitely Diana’s version!!!! Love this!!❤️
А разве от версии Элвиса вас прибивало к стулу и весь мир переставал существовать, кроме нее? В зависимости от ответа на этот вопрос вы ответите и на второй. Но что-то мне кажется, что версия Дианы вам больше зашла. Мне, кстати, тоже: версию Элвиса воспринимаю всего лишь как приятную песенку в хорошем исполнении. А тут - просто бомба.
One in a billion. Most mesmerizing memorable female vocalist on planet earth-any age.
Al
Thanks for your reaction ! She's amazing and have a big advantage : she's still improving 👍💗💐🙏
Best Reaction ever! Brilliant! Thank you so much! I enjoyed a lot.
Помню показали за 7 дней до ее выступления только 40 секунд и это взорвало интернет! От полной версии мурашки и озноб! А находиться там в студии - вообще можно дара речи лишиться!!! Это шедеврально на все времена!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Да так взорвало, что интернет до сих пор не работает, в каком только месте был взрыв- не понятно. Мурашки и озноб- это у тебя от короновируса. А про попасть в студию- даже и не мечтай: извращенцам вход туда заказан.
Это у тебя корона дебил
Это к Germany относится дебил
Beth, I think that you may have been misinformed. From everything I have heard and read, Diana is not an Alto, but a true Contralto. She can go lower and deeper than Cher. Otherwise, I totally agree with all of this. She's AMAZING at what she does and UNIQUE. Luv ya!
The fact is, “alto“ is not a vocal FACH anyway. It’s a part given to in choirs, for whatever strange reason, (Even Sopranos can end up playing the “alto” part if there’s a lack of lower voiced females],but the true name is contralto.
Драматическое контральто
I think she meant to say Contralto. Judging by her reaction a few moments later..
DIANA это АЛЕНЬКИЙ 🌹 ЦВЕТОЧЕК земли, её LOVE 💖
Diana's great performance was a good and honest response. Thanks. Отличное выступление Дианы . Хорошая и честная реакция . Спасибо.
Loved your commentary Beth thanks .She tried to attend the second best music school in Russia the audition went well then they gave her a vocal exam and said her vocal anatomy just didnt look normal at all so they turned her down.🤯 Diana then applied to the top school in the country and was excepted .👍🤩😍 Thats crazy but it worked out for the best. 👏👏👏👏👏
A juggernaut of sound. Bold, big, beautiful so tremendous a powerful sound
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...
Diana is a rising Russian star. I liked your analysis and sincere reaction to this song. In the meantime new songs performed by her in the show "Show mask go on", which is still underway, are available.
You are always so cute Beth :D and yeah, Goddess is a good word, or even Amazon warrior .. if there is any new Amazon female warriors movie, she should get the lead role with her thunderous voice, exotic beauty and excellent acting skills ^^
Her or Floor Jansen.
Thanks for your reaction! 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!
I can't imagine how Diana will sound 20 years from now.
Thankyou for getting to this one, goddess was the word that came to mind the first time I saw it too. Subsequent watches have actually brought tears to my eyes. I don't know if she will ever be seen by most of the viewing public, but wow, it is nice to know she exists. Thanks for giving us the chance to share the song with our favorite "singing expert friend" here.
She's a measured dramatic contralto that can sing in polyphonic overtones one in seven billion
This is really cool!
Дианочка Супер девочка моя любимая певица и актриса Супер! Певица номер один в России и не только в России но и в мире королева мурашек чудо ребёнок такие как Диана рождаются одна на 1000000000
I’ve heard elsewhere that she has a polyphonic (the ability to sing more than one note at the same time) contralto (low almost baritone) female voice. It is truly one of a kind.
Hi Beth. Thanks for your intelligent thoughtful reaction. I loved it. For something very different and fantastic from the same show listen to "Oh It Is Not Yet Evening" and also "I Am A Crow". Best wishes from Jerry in Cape Town South Africa.
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:

Thank you for your amazing rection to Diana's perfomance! She is our gem!
В исполнении Дианы песня стала шедевром!
Реакция понравилась, спасибо. Россия.
Your reaction is priceless!! 😮😵
Diana D has a helluva range!
Good Morning from Poland !!! I am enthralled! Exceptional talent plus passionate work ethic gives you incredible performances like this. I cannot say enough how much time, effort and discipline Diana must have put in between Wicked Game and now to have developed this much while simultaneously her voice is still anatomically developing/growing/changing... Vey Happy Christmas and Happy New Year for all friends in Russia and not only !!!
Loved your reaction Beth! I've listened to this about 20 times and this performance is the only one that gives me chills every time! That includes all of my favorite artists! Have a blessed day!
I still say The Goddess Voice of Nature is a gift from the Gods to bring joy to the world. Great review as always, Beth.
I was so emotional though the whole thing what a hauntingly beautiful voice just amazing ❤
I am always interested in your opinion;
I myself am shocked by Diana, but if you are also shocked, then my shock is double
Chills and goosebumps every time I hear this!!! Great reaction!! She’s an ANGEL!!❤️
She is just amazing. Thanks for your reaction. I can tell you really appreciate her talent. I was told she arranged this to suit her voice.
Милая Бэт сегодня не плакала, а только искренне восхищалась, надо чаще делать обзоры песен Дианы, чтобы получить всю гамму эмоций.
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.
Thank you for that reaction. I hope we will see more of your reactions to Diana ankudinova 🎊😍
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...
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REACTION AND DIANA'S ASSESSMENT. THE GIRL IS JUST A MASTERPIECE OF WORLD SINGING.
Betting you are Scottish Beth, as am I. Not certain where, but loved the bubbly, friendly vibe you have. Also loved your expression when you heard Diana start to sing. It's a once in a lifetime experience for sure.
Considering her rough start in life, how miraculous is it that she ended up with people that recognized her potential and made sure she developed it?! The world is benefitting!! Love her!
She could have a lucrative career doing film and video game scores alone. Her voice has an incredibly cinematic sound, if that makes sense.
Оh, I don’t know how many times you listened to this performance... but I've done it 100 times already, no less. Enchanting and amazing!
Gracias por reaccionar a la gran Diana Ankudinova
She is so incredible and goddess, so true.
Диана величайшая вокалистка ! Это её умение использовать свой дар и совершенствовать его ежечасно,работая над собой и своими возможностями поражает и восхищает. Её Дианастиль неподражаем !
She’s magnificent.
Спасибо за Ваш комментарий :) Вы очень доброжелательны и позитивны. Берегите себя и удачи во всем! РФ
“Magnificent” to describe her is actually a bit of an understatement, IMO. I’m struggling to find the right word though…
Диана Анкудинова великолепна! Спасибо за отличную реакцию.
Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
I love your voice,you are amazing!
I love your talking voice, you should do kids and even adults books on audio, truly a delightful voice.
Diana is a True Contralto, very very rare. Watch more, it gets better. She is 15yrs old in this performance, now as of 5/31/22 she is now 18yrs old. A True Superstar!
I recommend these songs by Diana! You will not regret!
Рекомендую эти песни Дианы! Не пожалеете!
«Wicked Game»
«Human»
«Реченька» («Rechenka»)
Really loved your review of this performance. It is a WOW voice indeed, and masterfully used.
Watch your reactions and comments with pleasure -- always have
Ну наконец то, дождались :)
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 TH-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 TH-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
viewer: 'at the age of 5 she couldn't speak her own language, how
can one see this and still doubt past lives?': th-cam.com/video/szDx59PZ8n8/w-d-xo.html
