The difficulty of this song is not in the high parts, every well educated sopera singer (sopranists) can do this, but in the speed notes are switching. But you´re right, this is amazing! In 1997, where this film was made, people thought, this song would not be singingable of a human. But an alien could. As we know now, a human singer is able to sing this (as we can hear here as well, and I´m sure Inva Mulah-Tschako, the original singer, also could), even if there are no technique issue used, assumed to a well-trained voice.
@@barbarmeow4076 if you really think what you have just said, means that you don’t understand much about music. Declared the best singer in the world is not something you see every day. I am musician and I can say with no doubt that Dimash is fantastic singer. So your ‘opinion’ is just jealousy
Made to be "unsingable " by a human voice for the "Fith Element" My wife and I were dumbstruck when this happened in the film and now once again beautiful....
Well rightly so… as they ran that woman in the Fifth Element’s voice through a mixer in order to reach as high as it did. I would prefer a technical answer to yours on whether or not this woman hit the actual notes…. Although I am now at the HIGHEST point in this video & beginning to rethink my comment 🤩
@@oceangrownkae Not a 100% replication (as the original was doing some Autotune magic a human indeed cannot replicate), but incredibly close and she mastered (!) some of the parts with fast changing pitches sooo beautiful. Incredible voice, fantastic Interpretation and just wow on so many levels. 😍
@@arin7981 Dimash's interpretation is nice, as well, but mostly because he excels at the high notes. He transposed the low key parts to fit his voice. What is amazing in both Interpretations is, how much of the studio effect tricks they manage to replicate with a normal human voice. As someone stated before, Eric Serra intentionally used tuning and pitch shifting effects to make it "in-human". To get this close to the fast and wide pitch shifts created with studio effects in post processing is an incredible achievement from both singers.
It took vocal cords trained for pop music, Opera, and traditional Chinese songs blended together for Jane Zhang to perform a song that when created was labelled as impossible for humans to perform without electronic help. She may be a pop singer but few people know that she trained in both Chinese and western opera styles and in Chinese minority traditional styles before becoming a Chinese pop Idol. All those diverse singing styles forged her vocal cords to a level that she could perform the aria from The Fifth Element perfectly. Many singers have destroyed their vocal cords and singing careers trying to sing this aria. Even the original singer damaged her vocal cords performing in the movie.
Where did you read that the great Inva Mula damaged her vocal cords performing the aria? By all accounts Inva told the composer 'it was impossible to hit some of the notes in the song because a human voice couldn’t change so quickly between them.' That is why they spliced and edited the final part of the performance in the movie, and to also make it sound like an alien was singing. Jane is extremely gifted but she doesn't quite sound like the original . IMO Inva is in a class of her own. Just youtube the original.
@@ksliang6072 She mentioned the damage in an old interview where she also said that thankfully she was able to recover but there are other singers who damaged their vocal cords beyond repair because they were not experienced enough to know when to stop trying.
@@fransiskariberu The original Titel of this aria is "il dolce suono" from Lucia di Lammermoore. In the film The 5th Element, Inva Mula an albanian Operasinger performed it.
i have heard many different versions but this must be the best one. She clearly has full control during the hole song even though its a difficult piece. A voice of an angel. When i think of Fifth Element this is the song that pops up. Outstanding.
I was Watching NOSTALGIA CRITIC about the movie THE FIFTH ELEMENT. he says the song is impossible for human vocals so it was edited. But he shows this woman and she is the next the perfection.
She IS PERFECT!! The movie had to use computers and like FIVE different vocalists, and this lady did it BY HERSELF!!! This is so amazing!! Thank you for sharing this!! I applaud you Ms. Zhang!!!
It was one take. They didn't use multiple tracks. They actually cut up her original performance for the film. Close to half of it is missing. Even if it had been multiple takes/tracks, there isn't one song in popular music today that doesn't use compiling. Which is sometimes dozens of takes trimmed into one song. Sometimes one word will be several compiled sound files. That doesn't take away from the talent of a singer that can do it the way Meiwenna (sorry if that's misspelled) did it outside of a studio.
It was all done by one singer but the notes had to be sung separately and then cut together because the notes change at such a speed it would be impossible for a human to do it any other way
Do I translate this 'obviously' as "she doesn't have enough meat on her bones"?!? Nothing wrong with the vocal performance. Her range seems bigger than many coloratura sopranos.
OMFG!!!🤯 I can't even believe how amazingly she pulled this off. Fifth Element is one of my favorite movies and I knew they used synthesizer to make the Diva hit the low and high notes there but to see a human sing this brings tears to my eyes. Are we sure this girl is a human? Beautiful voice
That was almost perfect, almost flawless version of an impossible performance. Tiptoeing on the highest pillar of human capability. I love the human accomplishment and prefer it over the electronic perfection.
I always liked the aria from Lucia di Lammermoore. The 5th Element gave a kick to it. And that Jane Zhang even performed it without the help of electronic devices is pretty impressive!
OOMMMMFFFFGGGGGGG I… can’t…. I can’t believe this…… I am absolutely OBSESSED with this song, but ESPECIALLY when it becomes all skitz towards the end... I wish I could personally thank her for doing the impossible and completely NAILING this masterpiece including the parts made by a COMPUTER… she fkn DID IT!!!!!! Ughhhh this is perfect!!!!!!!
This performance is a Grand Masterpiece of vocal beauty. Her rendition of the: "Diva Dance" was a magnificence that I will revisit and listen to in the future.
One of my favorite scenes from the film, all I can say is that the human voice is one of the most amazing things in the known universe as she clearly demonstrated
Ok this chick is a BEAST!! Absolutely NAILED this!!! The fact that she used only her own voice is mind blowing. This was so amazing and so incredibly beautiful! Also one of best scenes in one of my top favorite movies of all time ❤️
Fantastic! I've heard the original singer attempt it without the tuning that went into the movie, and this blows it out of the water. Was honestly not expecting it to get so close!
Wow out of all the renditions I feel like her performance was the best. Out of Dimash, everyone else etc. I think she owned it!!! Great job girl :) Number 1 in my book.
I don't care who you are,you gotta recognize this as great talent. I wish I had funds at the time to see her perform live. I am not even an opera lol but would have been there if I could
Pop or opera, it is all about the vocal training. that allows one to reach those notes. Naturally, they are different disciplines, but proper singing is proper vocal/diaphragm control. Here us an incredible display of that. Even Mariah could not do this accept that one note she does. I'm not dismissing Maraih either...
Jane sounds so fabulous in this rendition that she does sound like an alien 🙂 especially the diva part., especially when I closed my eyes and not looking at her human face.
Absolutely incredible vocals.. at the risk of being attacked, i have to say the finale to this piece is probably the most under-capitalised music opportunity i have ever seen. There was a conductor and extremely talented orchestra sitting by idly during the final movement whilst an underwhelming modern funk band played in support of those incredible vocals.. If the orchestra, and in particular the orchestral strings were applied in the final movement to support those amazing vocals, the overall musical piece could have been so dynamic and powerful as to stun the audience into realising what i think the composer of this piece was trying to achieve.. a fusion of classical and modern music to take the listener into a future reality. Seriously, go and listen to great funk and disco music, the synth or strings are so often pivotal in creating the dynamics, not just some slap bass with the occasional strum of a Les Paul guitar.. .. perhaps though it is best (and perhaps intentional) that the modern support band was underwhelming as it definitely highlighted the almost 'non-human' talent of the vocalist.. she is incredible...perhaps that is why it was arranged in that way!! :)
MAGNIFICENT rendition of that incredible song from my favorite scene in one of my top 3 all- time favorite movies! I even loved the newer touches they added to it, like the bass guitar beginning when things start really kicking off! Were I in the audience for this, it would have taken every bit of restraint and respect for local etiquette to keep me from unintentionally imitating Ruby Rhod's reaction to the song in the film! "BRAVO! BRAVO!"
In the movie they autotuned some of the unaturally high parts, but to hear someone naturally get close af is simply amazing!

Listen to Dimash Kudaibergen singing Diva Dance. Shocking. He is a man singing high notes perfectly.
@@gordanabursac9193 .. yes he goes higher then her lower then her and faster then her
@@PHOTOSHOPBYLINDA and more emotional than her. It is not strange that everybody says he is the best singer in the world.
@@gordanabursac9193 .. totally
Full admiration to ANYONE attempting this aria. She was wonderful.
Yeah, this pretty much says it all. I think this video is a good demonstration of exactly how impossible this aria was designed to be.
What a voice ! Unique, fabulous interpretation

Indeed she is

@@gordanabursac9193 not a fan of sopranist's version. It feels lack of softness and delicateness.
Anyone who would take that on without the electronic enhancements is a beast! So good.
I love how she GETS INTO IT, jamming!

I love how she takes out her ear piece!

This music and sound is one of the only pieces of music that can almost bring me to emotionally charged tears , so beautiful!
I'm literally shaking and crying. What a surprisingly perfect rendition💜
For someone who is obviously not an opera singer, she was awesome! Great job.
How is she obviously not an opera singer? I cannot see that
@@FOREVERPIN But you can hear it.
Do I translate this 'obviously' as "she doesn't have enough meat on her bones"?!? Nothing wrong with the vocal performance. Her range seems bigger than many coloratura sopranos.
Oh so u have to be fat to be an opera singer, she is obviously an opera singer!
You are right. She isn't opera singer. She has a very beautiful voice.
From 0:00 to 3:12 is "Il Dolce Suono" by the italian composer Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848). After start Diva Dance.

Great range of voice and control is unbelievable, wow what a great performance
