She is a Contralto, a dramatic Contralto at that, you will get to know her the more you listen from her and oh boy if you think this is something then she has a lot from where this came from and way way more. She has won over 50 vocal competitions actually to the point that they begun to ban her straight up so that others might have a chance on winning. I could make a list with a 100 recommendations but you just HAVE to listen to her newest release called "Baikal" it is out of this world like her.

She was 18 when she did this performance of Can't Help Falling In Love. You have to watch her performance of Rechenka back when she was 14. You will hardly believe what she does, and it is her first masterpiece and until today one of her best performances, hardly matched by anything else. You will feel like out in the wilderness in ancient times, and Diana sounds like Mother Earth herself.
Thank you for the recommendation! Diana Ankudinova's performance of "Rechenka" at the age of 14 sounds like an absolute masterpiece. We're intrigued by your description of feeling transported to ancient times and hearing Diana's voice likened to Mother Earth herself. It's remarkable to think that such a young talent could deliver such a powerful and evocative performance. We'll definitely make sure to watch it and experience the magic firsthand. Your insights and enthusiasm are much appreciated!
WICKED GAMES, was the 1st song I heard from her. And CROW is hard to beat. It is perfect for her because it combines a rhythm and style that works so well with her ability to add melancholy, mysticism, tribalism and haunting power to her songs.
I'm genuinely delighted to have followed your suggestion to listen to Diana Ankudinova's music. Her talent and unique voice are truly captivating, and I'm grateful for your recommendation.

Loved this reaction and your comments were so beautifully put about Diana 🤍🤎💙 She is indeed a very unique artist and she had such a tragic childhood experience, I am so happy that she's getting all the attention and she totally deserves it.
That's a fantastic point, and it's incredible to know that Diana Ankudinova has yodeling skills as well! Yodeling is a unique and challenging vocal technique, and it's wonderful to hear that she excels in it. She truly possesses a wide range of talents and vocal abilities that make her a remarkable artist. Thank you for highlighting this aspect of her talent, and I'm sure it adds another layer of depth to her performances. If you have any more insights or if there's anything else you'd like to share or discuss, please feel free to let me know. Your input is greatly appreciated! ❤🎶
@@TheWordSmith365 By the way, in addition to having superb timbre in the third, fourth and fifth octaves that are on display here, consequent to intensive work and tuition since this performance Diana now has wonderful timbre and control in the sixth octave too! (If you want to marvel at the quality of her D6, you should check out the very beautiful lyrics video of "The Day You ..." on her channel.)
This is the best cover of this song. She's just robbed Elvis and I think he's got tears of happiness during her performance. And I think she shows a power of Love, overwhelming, anxious, out-of-this-world, the force noone able understand, no one enforced to resist. Doomed color is perfectly hits.
Fantastic reaction- very insightful! WOW are you in for a treat as you listen to Diana’s bright soul sing! She is also as outstanding a person as she sounds. Very very inspiring, humble and real young woman.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the reaction. Diana's talent truly shines through in her performances, and it's wonderful to hear that she's also an inspiring and genuine person offstage. Looking forward to exploring more of her music and learning more about her as an artist and individual.
In analytical point of view NO one in the world can be compared to Diana! If I am mistaken, please name ONE! So she has the most unique female voice of the planet and NO DOUBT she is the best female singer of the world. She is 100% a dramatic contralto and although some reactors compare her voice to singers like Cher, Toni Braxton, and Shakira, BUT it is not a correct comparison because NONE of them can sing both the lowest and highest octaves simultaneously.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed my reaction and comments! Thank you for the suggestion to read about Diana Ankudinova's childhood and explore more of her music videos, spanning from early to present. Understanding an artist's background and evolution can add depth to the appreciation of their work, and I'll certainly take some time to delve into her journey and explore her music further. If you have any more insights or recommendations, please feel free to share them. Your input is valuable, and I'm here to create content that resonates with you and the viewers! 🎶📚👍
Greetings from Moscow! Diana is called the "queen of goosebumps" all over the world. Listen to those in her performance of Chris Isaac's "Evil Games", "River", "Yodel Time", "The Last Dance"... All the best to you!

Beautiful reaction to the most incredible voice on earth. Never seen an artist live this deeply in a song. She's insanely talented and it's difficult to speak about her epic performance. Thank you for sharing your nice musical feelings and knowledge.
The other 8 judges ( Diana is also a judge making 9 total) take turns performing and then judging. Put on CC and watch their comments afterword's. They don't judge like American idol or the other silly US singing competitions.
Thank you for the additional information about the judging process on the show involving Diana and the other 8 judges. It sounds like a unique and interesting format, and I'll definitely keep that in mind when reacting to their performances. I appreciate your guidance to turn on CC (closed captions) to understand their comments better. It's great to know that they have a different approach to judging compared to some of the American singing competitions. I look forward to experiencing this unique format in my future reactions! If you have any more details or suggestions, please feel free to share them.
@@TheWordSmith365 They were also Blown away, and said this about the performance " Diana is way above this contest, and her gift is God sent" and many more comments to tht effect. That first judge that stood up until it was over has some great comments, and he performs all around the world
Без сомнения, Вам, для вокального разбора, необходимо послушать "Реченька". Байкал, конечно, красивый клип и этно-песня удачная, но с тосчки зрения оценки техники пения - Реченька вне конкуренции.
Спасибо за рекомендацию! Я ценю ваше мнение, и я обязательно рассмотрю возможность ознакомления с "Реченькой" в будущем видео. Замечательно получать рекомендации от таких зрителей, как вы. Если у вас есть еще какие-либо рекомендации или запросы, не стесняйтесь делиться ими. И если вы еще не подписались на мой канал, мне было бы приятно, если бы вы это сделали, чтобы быть в курсе новых удивительных музыкальных анализов!
@@TheWordSmith365 So that last part I relate to golf. When a golfer needs a little more potential length from a tee shot he, or she, does what they call letting out the shaft or increasing the length of usable shaft to it's maximum. She reached back and added power to finish off her song. There is a version of this same performance that has the subtitles to what the other judges are saying. The format of this show is that all the people in that grandstand are judges as well the judged. They were all beyond themselves in praising her vocals. Diana has continued to expand her upper range she has a new song out called, 'The Day You' I give you the link here. ruclips.net/video/WeHkNny99ow/видео.html 'The Day You' by Brandon Stone.
Be sure to listen on exceptional speakers and get the full body resonance immersive experience. Everything she sings raises the bar of quality and never diminishes in shock and satisfaction. Her polyphonics changes everything.
It is said that Diana and Dimash arrived on the same spaceship. Diana has been classified as a contralto by many voice coaches. Yeah I was only 18 years old at the time of this performance she just recently turned 20. Danna also has ability to sing with polyphonic overtones which is what gives her the unique tone that you heard. In my opinion she is the best female vocalist on the planet is certainly the most unique. Please go to her RUclips page and subscribe you will find many songs there to react to. Thank you for your very professional And analytic reaction to Diana. Look forward to you reacting to many of her songs
Thank you for providing such fascinating insights into Diana Ankudinova's talent and vocal abilities! It's truly remarkable to hear about her classification as a contralto and her ability to sing with polyphonic overtones, which undoubtedly contribute to her unique and captivating tone. We greatly appreciate your kind words about our reaction to Diana's performance. It's an honor to analyze the work of such a talented artist.

On October 1, the premiere of a stunningly beautiful OST video for the song “Baikal” took place on Diana Ankudinova’s RUclips channel. The soundtrack performed by Diana became the main musical theme of the film “The Spirit of Baikal,” which will be released in wide release on October 19, 2023. In the film itself, Diana voiced two roles - the spirit of Lake Baikal and the voice of the soul of the deceased mother of the main character of the film. The film received several top awards at film festivals. Baikal is the deepest, oldest, freshwater lake on Earth (22-23 percent of all fresh surface water), it is a place of power, the spiritual center of shamans, different religions - Shamanism , Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, a pristine place not yet touched by civilization. DIANA ANKUDINOVA | Baikal (OST 'Spirit Of Baikal')
Thank you for sharing this exciting news about Diana Ankudinova's latest project! The premiere of the OST video for the song "Baikal" on her RUclips channel sounds absolutely captivating. It's incredible to hear that Diana not only provided the stunning soundtrack but also lent her voice to two important roles in the film "The Spirit of Baikal." The significance of Lake Baikal as the deepest and oldest freshwater lake on Earth, and its status as a spiritual center for various religions and cultures, adds an extra layer of depth to Diana's involvement in this project. It's clear that her talent and versatility shine through in every aspect of her work. We can't wait to experience the magic of "Baikal" and witness Diana's remarkable performance in both the soundtrack and the film. Thank you for keeping us informed about such remarkable developments in Diana's career!
It's wonderful to hear that you also appreciate "Can't Help Falling In Love" as one of your favorites. Diana Ankudinova's rendition of this song is truly powerful and evocative. Her ability to convey the emotional depth of the music resonates with many listeners. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I laughed 😂❤ your facial expression “😳🥹🤣”. No one in the World 🗺️ is like her anywhere else in the World. I first watched her when she was 15 and everyone I’ve watched Reactors sometimes be afraid and sometimes can’t speak. Diana can sing Opera although she does not like it. Watch her Masked Singer Performance “Fly on the Wings of Wind” a fan has provided a copy because her episodes are blocked so view KWSTAS video of her performance.
If you want to hear her singing low throughout a whole song please react to her cover of “Human”. At age 16 she is singing on a show called “You are Super’ for Orphaned and underprivileged children. She won the first show of this competition and sings “Human” just before being declared the winner of the second season she was on competing against previous winners. You are in for a treat reacting to Diana. It’s been 3 years ago that I first watched her sing and not a day goes by that I listen to her music videos, songs or performances. Thanks for reacting.🙏🏼
Thank you for the recommendation and for sharing your enthusiasm for Diana's performance of "Human" on the show "You Are Super." It sounds like a truly remarkable moment in her career, and I'm excited to react to it. Diana's ability to showcase her vocal range and emotional depth, especially at such a young age, is truly impressive. I'm looking forward to experiencing the magic of her performance. Thanks again for your suggestion and for joining me on this journey of discovery! 🙏🏼
your welcome. You have a large library of videos to react to that each will have you amazed. She sing in Russian, English, French, German, Spanish and Arabic. Enjoy the journey. I have each and everyday for 3 years.
and just 18 in this performance.. thanks for checking her out.. she very popular with reaction channels and vocal coaches... so this is obviously a dark cover done by Tommie Proffit. she's called the "Queen of Goosebumps" , "Voice of Mother Earth" and many more..
Thank you so much for your comment! 😊 Diana Ankudinova is truly a remarkable talent, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to share her performance. It's incredible that she's achieved so much at such a young age, and I can see why she's earned those wonderful titles. If you have any more suggestions or requests for future videos, please feel free to share them. And if you haven't already, I'd appreciate it if you could subscribe to my channel to stay updated on more amazing performances like this one! 🎶💖
I agree - Diana and Dimach touch an androgynous presence that is emerging in various artistic communities world wide. A new sound is being born. Impressed with your own emotional resonance with both singers. Dimach’s S.O.S. And Diana’s ‘Falling in Love’ are precursors of this New Age. Amazing avatars. Thankyou
Thank you for your insightful observation! It's fascinating to consider Diana Ankudinova and Dimash as embodying an androgynous presence that resonates with emerging artistic trends worldwide. Their ability to transcend traditional gender norms and express themselves through their music in such a unique way is truly remarkable. We're honored by your appreciation of our emotional connection to both singers. Dimash's "S.O.S." and Diana's "Falling in Love" indeed seem to hint at the dawn of a new age in music, where boundaries are blurred and innovation knows no limits. They are undeniably amazing avatars of this evolving musical landscape. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for recognizing the profound impact of these extraordinary artists. We're grateful for the opportunity to experience their artistry and look forward to witnessing the continued evolution of music in this new age.
Certainly! We'll make sure to add Diana's Russian folk song "Rechenka" to our list of reactions. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. We're excited to explore the depth and emotion of this piece alongside Diana's incredible talent. Stay tuned for our reaction!
Thanks for your musically insightful reaction. You would likely enjoy Wicked Game when she was 15 and Rechenka at 14. Her new songs are very good as well.
I'm thrilled that you came across my video in your feed, and I'm delighted that you enjoyed the reaction and analysis! Diana Ankudinova's performances of "Rechenka" and "Human" sound captivating, and I'll definitely consider exploring them in future reactions. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm, and if you have any more suggestions or thoughts, please feel free to share them. Your feedback is greatly appreciated! 🥰🎵
💖🎼 Peace and love from the UK. FWIW Igor Krutoy, who has composed some of Dimash's greatest songs, has mentored and financially supported Diana for years. That said, despite his close artistic relationship and friendship with Dimash, he has said that Lara Fabian (mentioned by someone else in this thread) is the greatest song-writer and singer he has ever collaborated with. So please start to react to her too. With Dimash (now 29 and still growing as a singer and composer), Diana (20 I think, and has only just begun writing songs), and Lara Fabian (in her 40s I think, and composing and writing lyrics that are just incredible, and then singing and performing songs better than just about any vocalist that has ever lived), you will have the kind of artists that you need to keep fueling your brilliant analyses and reactions.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt message and the insights you've shared! It's wonderful to receive such positive vibes and support from the UK. 😊 Igor Krutoy's mentorship and support for Diana Ankudinova are indeed commendable, and it's interesting to hear his perspective on Lara Fabian. I appreciate the suggestion to start reacting to Lara Fabian's work. With Dimash, Diana, and Lara Fabian, we certainly have a remarkable trio of artists with diverse talents and contributions to the world of music. I'll definitely consider exploring Lara Fabian's music and sharing my reactions in the future. Your kind words and encouragement mean a lot, and they inspire me to continue creating content and analyses. If you have any more thoughts, suggestions, or if there's anything else you'd like to discuss, please feel free to reach out. And if you haven't subscribed to my channel yet, I'd be grateful if you could do so to stay updated on future reactions and content! 🎶💖ZAR
@@TheWordSmith365 If you are reading this I managed to get another comment posted to replace the ones YT deleted. Here's hoping! I sub'd while watching your first Dimash reaction. I switched all notifications on too. I've seen all your videos since then -- it's how I caught this one of Diana. While I've only commented a couple times, I've enjoyed every second of your reactions. Every dramatic pause, all the fun faces and sounds -- the whole shebang. Your MC presence, intelligently used intelligence, appealing affect, evident knowledge, skilled and diligent editing, and more, all remind me of the total commitment to learning, and to making great experiences, shared by Dimash, Diana, and Lara. Bravo! 😍 ---- I wrote another comment here about Diana. I find I like writing unique comments that I carefully craft to address a reactor I have come to feel I "know" and love at least a little, typically after a half dozen reactions or so. It was one of those, indeed just about my favorite I've written about Diana. I had felt inspired by your evident appreciation of her, which many of us share, and enjoyed writing it. 👍 My comment was rich in details I thought you might like to know about her life. I wove them into a narrative about 7 songs sung during 6 extraordinary performances by her. I wanted you to get to know a bit of what I know about Diana, and to consider reacting to one or more of the particular series of performances I selected (because I think they form a whole artistically, spiritually, biographically, that tells a chapter of Diana's life story). It began with a song pair when she was 13, and ended with the mood video for Revelation, the first song she wrote and released a year ago when she was 19. 🎉The second to last song/performance was the one you just reacted to, when she was 18. I think they're all richly interconnected in meaning for her, and had hoped to share some of those connections with you. Unfortunately YT deleted my comment! (Presumably because it thought it was spam. 🤬) I'd forgotten that that happens, so hadn't saved it. 😭 I don't have the spirit to try recreate it in one go, and this comment is already very long anyway. But because you replied so beautifully to my comment above, you've inspired me yet again. 🥰 ---- I've decided that, over the coming months, as I revisit here to take in Diana reactions, I should try to recreate the literary love I had already tried to send in your direction, and toward Diana, but do so one performance at a time, after taking into account what I think you'll already know by then (by watching your reactions and reading all the comments). The rest of this comment will talk only about the first/oldest of the performances in "my" set, sung when she was 13. (There are earlier performances which I think are great, but this one when she was 13 went super nova, which is of itself interesting, and it's where I think this story within a story best begins.) First, the video. It'll be interesting to see if this sentence gets past the YT comment eating monster!: This video is one of many that are edits of Diana participating in an audition for kids in March 2017. (This was while Dimash was a few weeks in to his famous run in the Chinese The Singer show that launched his career in Asia.) It was a Russian show with 3 judges who started with their backs turned toward auditioning children. If a judge liked what they heard, and wanted a child to stay in the competition, they were supposed to turn around. Suffice to say, things got strange, and Diana was kinda accidentally unanimously rejected. 😲 I won't tell you much more, other than to claim that the two songs she performed, one before rejection, and one after, are both great performances in their own way, especially for a 13 year old. Indeed, at the end of the video I've linked one of the judges points at her goosebumps with what looked to me like a mix of embarrassment, relief, bewilderment, and delighted surprise. Within short order the original video of Diana's performance had more downloads than the combined downloads of all videos of all performances by all participants in all the shows in all the seasons of the competition to that date, and if I recall correctly it has gone far beyond that original record, with over 100 million views to date. (Not the video I've linked, which is an edit of the original. As far as I know the original isn't available on YT.) The bottom line is that, as of March 2017, Diana was suddenly a national star. ---- Things then got way weirder over the next year. In particular, her violent alcoholic biological mother got back in touch with her after that video went viral, a decade after leaving her at a bus stop in winter at the age of three with a broken collarbone. (See resources such as her Wikipedia page for more about this, and how she was non-verbal, and then she landed at an orphanage, and a carer there adopted her, and then a speech therapist suggested she try singing, and then she began singing with her adoptive sister.) But I must stop there for now. ---- So please consider trying to react to the performance I've discussed. I say "try" because I only recall one reactor ever reacting to this performance, and I suspect it might be because it gets mercilessly blocked. That said, maybe it doesn't, and reactors just ignore it because they don't think it'll get them subs and likes, or they don't think it's spectacular enough, or they don't hear about it. And I say "performance" rather than "video" because I hold out hope there's a better video and I just haven't found it. In particular I recall footage of her talking in the tunnel after she left the audition stage, and she was so humble and wise it just melted my heart. Perhaps you can ask viewers about it and see if anyone knows? Anyhow, I want to assure you I think it's well worth trying to react to this performance. Also, based on what I've seen of you so far, I think there's excellent scope for you doing a great analysis of it that creates a buzz among Diana fans. And I also think it will steer you toward initially exploring a lot of the best in her body of work more or less chronologically, working through her many legendary mid and late teen performances. If you ask watchers to suggest her performances from about 13 onwards, and ask for folk to say how old she was in each performance, you should get a nicely ordered treasure trove in response. ---- One final thing. If you *can't* get a reaction to her as a 13 year old, please try her The Joker / Derniere Danse / Last Dance performance when she was 14, and if *that* won't fly, then her Rechenka. ---- See you soon!
You may not have been warned about this video. All Diana's appearances on TV shows are blocked. There are 3 reaction options: 1) the usual reaction, not available for Russia, minus: loss of 80-90 percent of views, plus: non-Russian viewers will see a high-quality video. 2) reaction with editing. minus: video quality plus: everyone can see the reaction 3) appeal on RUclips (the reaction is posted initially only for personal access). Minus: you have to wait a little. Plus: better quality, better views.
Thank you for providing us with these options and for appealing to RUclips on our behalf. We truly appreciate your efforts to ensure that our reaction videos can reach our audience in the best possible quality. Unfortunately, it seems that the appeal to RUclips has not been successful so far. Given the circumstances, we will proceed with option 2 - reaction with editing. While it may result in slightly reduced video quality, we believe it's important for everyone to have access to our reactions. We're committed to providing our viewers with the best experience possible within the limitations we face. Thank you for your understanding and support as we navigate this challenge. We'll continue to strive to deliver engaging content despite these obstacles.
I am glad you did that. I was one of those suggested. It is long video, but I will watch it again. You do justice to her. Her voice type is : shamanic :) ...; She can do yodel (at 13, Voice Kids Russia) or Chipmunk, as the MASK singer round #1 (Lady Gaga) or anything at will. Don't you agree with what I said ? (Dimash is painter, Diana is clay pot artist)
I'm delighted to hear that you were one of the people who suggested the video, and I'm grateful for your kind words and support. Diana Ankudinova's versatility and unique vocal abilities are truly impressive, and it's wonderful that you feel I do justice to her performances in my reactions. I appreciate your description of her voice type as "shamanic," and it's clear that she has a wide range of vocal talents, from yodeling to taking on different styles and tones in her performances. Your analogy comparing Dimash to a painter and Diana to a clay pot artist is quite creative and captures the idea that both artists have their distinct ways of expressing their artistry. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights about Diana Ankudinova. If you have any more observations or if there's anything else you'd like to discuss or see on my channel, please feel free to let me know. Your perspective is valued, and I'm here to create content that resonates with you and the viewers. 🎨🎶👍
@@TheWordSmith365 Thanks for the detailed answer. I love them booth, for their talent and artistry. It is beyond my comprehension, as they create a whole piece, everything is connected with everything. Nothing is by the chance.
Our Queen of Goosebumps, rare dramatic contralto with polyphonic overtones. Longer, thicker vocal chords than most females. Next Diana: Wicked Game, Rechenka, Derniere Danse, Crow, +++. For more shock and awe, Angelina Jordan, Barefoot Princess: I Put A Spell on You, Bohemian Rhapsody, Feeling Good, +++. (Everyone is always taken aback by the last verse of this song. . Gasping is understandably the universal reaction.)
Thank you for sharing more about Diana Ankudinova's unique vocal qualities, and for your song recommendations for both Diana Ankudinova and Angelina Jordan. Diana's dramatic contralto voice with polyphonic overtones certainly sets her apart as an extraordinary artist. I appreciate the song suggestions for Diana, including "Wicked Game," "Rechenka," "Derniere Danse," and "Crow," among others. These choices should provide great material for reactions and discussions. As for Angelina Jordan, her performances are indeed astonishing, and I'll be sure to consider songs like "I Put A Spell on You," "Bohemian Rhapsody," and "Feeling Good" for future reactions. It's intriguing to hear that the last verse of "Feeling Good" elicits such a powerful reaction-it sounds like an incredible moment to experience. If you have any more insights, suggestions, or if there's anything else you'd like to discuss, please feel free to share. Your input is valuable, and I'm here to provide content that you and other viewers will enjoy! 🎵👏
@@TheWordSmith365 Sorry that I was unclear. The last verse to which I was referring was Diana in this performance. Totally my fault. That being said, can't wait to see you shocked with Angelina at 9 with Spell On You, at 13 on AGT with Bohemian Rhapsody, at 7 winning Norway's Got Talent with Summertime, or at 10 with Feeling Good.
They call her 'the Shamanesse' as a nickname. She is magical! You are in for many treats with Diana. I'm astounded by her personal story. She had an extremely abusive alcoholic mother, unknown father and she was abandoned on the streets by her mother with a broken arm when she was about 5 yo- she was mute. Her mother's relatives took her to an orphanage and one of the women who worked at the orphange adopted her eventually. The new mother took Diana for voice lessons simply to try to get her to speak again. That child found this within herself and it's one of the best voices we've ever heard. Please go back to her 14 yo self performing Rechenka- an old Russian folk song that's pretty creepy- something like a child bride going down to the river (rechenka translates 'little river' or maybe 'dear river') and calling on the animals and the river to give her blessings as she has no family. Your reactions are such a treat! You are so gifted with musical understanding and obviously put your heart into your work! Thank you for your sharing with us!
@@timliscum2861 I've never heard that as a nickname either, but she has frequently been referred to as a shaman. Diana Arbenina, one of the judges on "You Are Super", called her a shaman after Diana's performance of "Wicked Game".
@@timliscum2861 I was told this by a Russian commentor who had a back and forth conversation with me regarding Diana. Perhaps it was not accurate, but I took it as good enough since I know very little about Russian culture & chit chat. Take it or leave it, but I think it fits with her remarkable talent. Cheers to you!
Thank you so much for sharing Diana's incredible journey and background with us. It's truly remarkable how she has overcome such adversity to become the phenomenal artist she is today. Her nickname, 'the Shamanesse', is a testament to the magic she brings to her performances. We're deeply touched by her personal story and the resilience she has shown. We appreciate your kind words about our reactions and analysis. It's an honor to be able to share in the beauty of Diana's talent and to connect with fellow music enthusiasts like yourself. We'll definitely consider revisiting her 14-year-old self performing 'Rechenka' and delving deeper into the haunting yet powerful themes of the song. Thank you for your support and for being a part of our community!
Great introduction to your review of Diana's singing. I really love Diana and appreciate your take on her. You give some of the best analysis of her singing and technique I have heard. Thank you, I am looking forward to more of your reactions.
My favorite of Diana's is "Rechenko". I'd love to see you react to it. In order to really know Diana look into her background and it will make you respect her more knowing what she came from to where she is now. Another amazing artist to check out is Angelina Jordan. A lot of people's introduction to her is "I Put a Spell on You" from when she was 10 years old and one of her recent "Suspicious Minds" from Elvis but done in her own way.
Thank you for sharing your favorite Diana Ankudinova song, "Rechenko." I'll certainly consider reacting to it in the future. Understanding an artist's background can indeed deepen our appreciation for their journey and talent, so I'll make sure to delve into Diana's story to gain more insight into her incredible path to success. I appreciate the recommendation of Angelina Jordan as well.

Hello Carl, Yes please, more Diana. Diana is multi-faceted and uses many different voices to perform in a variety of genres. Don't expect to see/hear the same thing twice. A must is Diana's latest release: Diana Ankudinova - Baikal (OST “Spirit of Baikal”)

Diana's versatility and ability to explore various genres and voices is truly remarkable, making her a captivating artist to follow.

@@TheWordSmith365 As someone said, "Rechenka" is more suitable for vocal analysis. An entire book could be written about the many techniques used. Specifically, one of these two performances are widely preferred by the community: DIANA ANKUDINOVA (Диана Анкудинова) Rechenka (Реченька) (Age 14 yo) [On the channel Kwstas Vagias] Or: Rechenka (Little River) - Diana Ankudinova [On Diana's main channel] About subscriptions: I am a cranky old man. One of my rules is that I will watch two videos before subscribing. So, I will wait for your next Diana video. Another rule is that I don't subscribe to any channels which use "First Time Hearing!" in all of their titles.
Hi Carl, I love your videos, analysis. I think you are spot on for what I am looking for in these type videos. Diana’s voice just hits me in the soul. I don’t think anyone can make me feel so much as she does. I just love her low tones so much. The first time listening to this song, my heart was racing. I could not calm down for hours. Songs from Diana that I love most are; Rechenka, Crow and Last Dance. Rechenka was done when she was 14years old and is a world class performance. I have to admit I will listen to anything from her, no matter the language. Thanks again for your wonderful , insightful reactions.
I enjoy your reactions, you’re astute & enjoyable to watch, good qualities for a reactor. When you’ve time, add Aurora to your list of future singers to react to, she’s beyond beautiful to listen to and a very special person from a human point of view. Her humanity is like Dimash’s, she cares (too) deeply for the world and those in it. Love from Annie, in Cornwall, UK.🙂🌸
Thank you so much for your kind words and for the suggestion, Annie! We truly appreciate your support and encouragement. Aurora sounds like an incredibly special artist, both in terms of her talent and her humanity. We'll definitely add her to our list of future singers to react to. It's heartwarming to hear about artists like Aurora and Dimash who not only possess exceptional talent but also deeply care for the world and its inhabitants. Sending love right back to you from all of us here at 'The WordSmith' channel! 🌟🎶
The editing, videography and animation are all good Carl. You're my favorite reactor and musical analyst by a long, long way. You have the perfect combination of music IQ for analysis and raw emotional reaction. You deserve way more subscriber than you do have right now. I hope you get to 10 000 subscribers soon, looks like you'll get there quickly anyway. Thanks for all that you do and thanks for being so interested in wanting to know our needs and wants.

Surprised I didn’t find this earlier, what a fantastic analysis- you are very well-spoken. I would call that an appropriate reaction to the last verse 😅 Diana really is a marvel I appreciate you doing a little bit of research beforehand to give yourself some context, many people fail to do this. I also appreciate you pointing out the laryngeal control she has! This is one of the most important and distinctive parts of her vocal technique, besides the masterful control she has over her whole range and the ease with which she switches registers. She’s a world-class talent for sure If you want suggestions for other singers to review, you’ll probably notice a number of recurring names (Angelina Jordan, Lara Fabian, AURORA, Faouzia, possibly also Daneliya Tuleshova and Gabriel Henrique). They are all fantastic. I also wouldn’t miss out on any of the great Filipino singers like Morisette Amon, Marcelito Pomoy, or Katrina Velarde. They should give you some content and subscribers for a while! Thanks for your reaction 👍
Your analyzes are informative and really fun to watch. The peace you radiate, but still with real feelings of enthusiasm and wonder. Dimash and Diana are actually the only music I listen to, because it is so special. 15 year old Emma Kok with Voila is also a surprise. Keep up the good work with your channel and we'll keep watching! 👌

This is how the song was originally composed to be sung. It is not a sweet love song, it is a song about an underage girl, that falls in love with an older man. She knows it's wrong but, She can't help falling in love" .
Thank you for sharing that insight! It's interesting to know the background and context of the song. Music often carries deeper stories and emotions within its lyrics, and it's valuable to understand the song's meaning from its original composition. I appreciate you providing this perspective.

If it was on my power, I will marry Dimash and Diana and see the perfection (👶 mean baby's) made by this 2 wonderful humas 😅. Also I like to suggest a gret singer, his name is: Marcelito Pomoy (The Prayer) 👌🏼 please.!
Haha, your enthusiasm for Dimash and Diana is evident, and I'm sure many fans feel the same way about their incredible talents! 😄 Thank you for the suggestion of Marcelito Pomoy and his rendition of "The Prayer." He's known for his remarkable ability to sing both male and female parts of songs, and I'll definitely consider exploring his performance in a future reaction. If you have any more recommendations or if there's anything else you'd like to share, please feel free to let me know. Your input is valuable, and I'm here to create content that resonates with you and the viewers! 👌🏼🎶
I just wanted to say this is one of the best reactions to this performance I’ve seen. This live rendition was also the very first time I had ever heard her sing. In point of fact, it was only a quick RUclips short that I clicked on out of curiosity. And while I don’t know what my facial expression was when I heard her belt like that, I imagine it was in the same ball park. Diana became my favorite female vocalist of all time very quickly. And I have not stopped enjoying her amazing notes since.
i probably lost my s*** harder than you did, somehow, when I first heard that last verse. I know its not a competition but I havent lost it harder than that since I first saw Dimash lol

It's only been 5 months since you recorded this.... I hope you've recovered. My first reaction was... duh umm oh uhhh, oh my God. What the... (long pause).... duh. I was very glad I was sitting down. I have never been so emotionally driven by a singing performance as that.
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt reaction to Diana Ankudinova's performance!

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to continue sharing more amazing moments like these in the future!
Yes, a unique and hauntingly beautiful voice. And person! You should track back a little in time and see the performance of 'Rechenka' which she performed around 14 > 15? years of age. Even more amazing. [ Have a look at her backstory. She has overcome a lot to get to 'here'. The world is lucky to have her. ] I think ir was her pervformance of Wicked Game where Igor Krutoy, as a guest panel judge, first heard her. He immediately recognised what a unique talent Diana is asnd - again ( as with Dimash ) stepped into a mentoring role and enabled her to access the best vocal school for further / teritary studies. I gather Diana is still studying and also composing, and this is most definitely a career to watch! * As for a 'Ranking System'- I'm not so keen on these. The best talents are so unique and diverse I beleive it does each artist a disservice to try to compare. Each should be appreciated for their own artistry. 🙂
She is a dark contralto up to mezzo soprano. Also, she's has polyphony. Meaning she's bringing in another voice at will when it's required. You can hear it being used in this performance. Flat tongue technique , with a wide gap means she can belt it out as powerful as someone like Celine Dion. Now, did you know she's only 15 years old on this show. Also you will see a judge standing up with his hands held up as if praying. He's a top Russian Opera Singer & he's just heard an angel. He explains afterwards on his comments that in all of his musical career at the top, he's never heard such a voice, he's in awe. She's now 21 with a 4 octave range. Check out her output, it's prodigious.
Many more suggestions in the comments. Derniere Danse is a good place to start. Rechenka is incredible. One of my favorites is Crow. But please listen to Human. She has said that was the most comfortable for her to sing. She has several new original songs, The Day You and In My Huge City. Absolutely beautiful! And of course, Baikal, which is in a new Russian movie, The Spirit of Baikal. It's shamanic, which is something Diana does well. And she can also yodel, which you'll hear in a couple of these. She is classified as a dramatic contralto. Some say she is polyphonic but that's not what she's doing. She's able to create massive resonance and thus, sings overtones. A lot of people feel as if they're hearing more than one voice when she sings. Her vocal control and styling are really beyond anything I've ever heard. And she most recently has demonstrated a range from F3 to D6. Yes, a whistle note.I hope you react to and analyze more from her. ❤
Diana Ankudinova y Dimash Qudaibergen son los mejores cantantes del mundo mundial y del universo entero de este y del paralelo son aliens, son ángeles son impresionantes y espectaculares sus rangos vocales y sus interpretaciones son magistrales,sus octavas son inauditas... Dimash tiene casi 7 octavas y Diana Ankudinova 5 octavas, simplemente no hay punto de comparación son maravillosos y realmente únicos woww woww...un fuerte abrazo y saludos desde México...
Great reaction video. The sound from your speaking mic is very soft compared to the playing video. I have to turn the volume up when you speak, then down when you play the video. But so far your reaction vids are great. From a fellow South African also from Durban ;)
Диана Анкудинова - это голос, который я буду слушать до конца моей жизни. Красиво сказано! Я тоже, чувак, я тоже!
She is a Contralto, a dramatic Contralto at that, you will get to know her the more you listen from her and oh boy if you think this is something then she has a lot from where this came from and way way more.
She has won over 50 vocal competitions actually to the point that they begun to ban her straight up so that others might have a chance on winning.
I could make a list with a 100 recommendations but you just HAVE to listen to her newest release called "Baikal" it is out of this world like her.
Thank you for sharing such valuable insights into Diana Ankudinova's vocal abilities and accomplishments! It's truly impressive to hear about her classification as a dramatic contralto and her extensive success in vocal competitions. Her dedication and talent shine through in every performance.
We're thrilled to hear about her newest release, "Baikal," and your glowing recommendation has us eager to experience it for ourselves. We'll make sure to add it to our list of reactions and explore the depth of Diana's artistry further.
Thank you for your enthusiasm and for sharing your passion for Diana's music with us. We're excited to delve deeper into her repertoire and continue to be amazed by her extraordinary talent!

Baikal-Song Diana Ankudinova 🥰❤️❤️❤️🫶🇷🇺🫶❤️❤️❤️🥰💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍☝️
FANTASTIC !!!
She was 18 when she did this performance of Can't Help Falling In Love.
You have to watch her performance of Rechenka back when she was 14. You will hardly believe what she does, and it is her first masterpiece and until today one of her best performances, hardly matched by anything else. You will feel like out in the wilderness in ancient times, and Diana sounds like Mother Earth herself.
Thank you for the recommendation! Diana Ankudinova's performance of "Rechenka" at the age of 14 sounds like an absolute masterpiece. We're intrigued by your description of feeling transported to ancient times and hearing Diana's voice likened to Mother Earth herself. It's remarkable to think that such a young talent could deliver such a powerful and evocative performance. We'll definitely make sure to watch it and experience the magic firsthand. Your insights and enthusiasm are much appreciated!
Классная эмоциональная реакция. Спасибо! Диана лучшая!
WICKED GAMES, was the 1st song I heard from her. And CROW is hard to beat. It is perfect for her because it combines a rhythm and style that works so well with her ability to add melancholy, mysticism, tribalism and haunting power to her songs.
I'm so touched you followed my sugestion to listen to her ❤
I'm genuinely delighted to have followed your suggestion to listen to Diana Ankudinova's music. Her talent and unique voice are truly captivating, and I'm grateful for your recommendation.

Loved this reaction and your comments were so beautifully put about Diana 🤍🤎💙
She is indeed a very unique artist and she had such a tragic childhood experience, I am so happy that she's getting all the attention and she totally deserves it.
Merci pour votre réaction 🔥
One skill DA has that few comments mention is her ability to YODEL. She is in my top 5 yodellers of all time- so far.❤
That's a fantastic point, and it's incredible to know that Diana Ankudinova has yodeling skills as well! Yodeling is a unique and challenging vocal technique, and it's wonderful to hear that she excels in it. She truly possesses a wide range of talents and vocal abilities that make her a remarkable artist. Thank you for highlighting this aspect of her talent, and I'm sure it adds another layer of depth to her performances.

By the way, in addition to having superb timbre in the third, fourth and fifth octaves that are on display here, consequent to intensive work and tuition since this performance Diana now has wonderful timbre and control in the sixth octave too!
(If you want to marvel at the quality of her D6, you should check out the very beautiful lyrics video of "The Day You ..." on her channel.)
This is the best cover of this song. She's just robbed Elvis and I think he's got tears of happiness during her performance.
And I think she shows a power of Love, overwhelming, anxious, out-of-this-world, the force noone able understand, no one enforced to resist. Doomed color is perfectly hits.

Вам спасибо! 😊🌟
In analytical point of view NO one in the world can be compared to Diana! If I am mistaken, please name ONE! So she has the most unique female voice of the planet and NO DOUBT she is the best female singer of the world. She is 100% a dramatic contralto and although some reactors compare her voice to singers like Cher, Toni Braxton, and Shakira, BUT it is not a correct comparison because NONE of them can sing both the lowest and highest octaves simultaneously.
I enjoyed your reaction and comments. Take a little time to read about her childhood. Then check out more of her music videos from early to present .

The other 8 judges ( Diana is also a judge making 9 total) take turns performing and then judging. Put on CC and watch their comments afterword's. They don't judge like American idol or the other silly US singing competitions.
Thank you for the additional information about the judging process on the show involving Diana and the other 8 judges. It sounds like a unique and interesting format, and I'll definitely keep that in mind when reacting to their performances. I appreciate your guidance to turn on CC (closed captions) to understand their comments better. It's great to know that they have a different approach to judging compared to some of the American singing competitions. I look forward to experiencing this unique format in my future reactions! If you have any more details or suggestions, please feel free to share them.
@@TheWordSmith365 They were also Blown away, and said this about the performance " Diana is way above this contest, and her gift is God sent" and many more comments to tht effect. That first judge that stood up until it was over has some great comments, and he performs all around the world
Без сомнения, Вам, для вокального разбора, необходимо послушать "Реченька". Байкал, конечно, красивый клип и этно-песня удачная, но с тосчки зрения оценки техники пения - Реченька вне конкуренции.

@@TheWordSmith365 So that last part I relate to golf. When a golfer needs a little more potential length from a tee shot he, or she, does what they call letting out the shaft or increasing the length of usable shaft to it's maximum. She reached back and added power to finish off her song. There is a version of this same performance that has the subtitles to what the other judges are saying.
The format of this show is that all the people in that grandstand are judges as well the judged. They were all beyond themselves in praising her vocals.
Diana has continued to expand her upper range she has a new song out called, 'The Day You' I give you the link here.

Love your reaction😂❤❤❤
Be sure to listen on exceptional speakers and get the full body resonance immersive experience. Everything she sings raises the bar of quality and never diminishes in shock and satisfaction. Her polyphonics changes everything.
Thanks for very good and valuable reaction.
Espectacular diana 👌👏👏🇪🇸
It is said that Diana and Dimash arrived on the same spaceship. Diana has been classified as a contralto by many voice coaches. Yeah I was only 18 years old at the time of this performance she just recently turned 20. Danna also has ability to sing with polyphonic overtones which is what gives her the unique tone that you heard. In my opinion she is the best female vocalist on the planet is certainly the most unique. Please go to her RUclips page and subscribe you will find many songs there to react to. Thank you for your very professional And analytic reaction to Diana. Look forward to you reacting to many of her songs

On October 1, the premiere of a stunningly beautiful OST video for the song “Baikal” took place on Diana Ankudinova’s RUclips channel.
The soundtrack performed by Diana became the main musical theme of the film “The Spirit of Baikal,” which will be released in wide release on October 19, 2023.
In the film itself, Diana voiced two roles - the spirit of Lake Baikal and the voice of the soul of the deceased mother of the main character of the film. The film received several top awards at film festivals.
Baikal is the deepest, oldest, freshwater lake on Earth (22-23 percent of all fresh surface water), it is a place of power, the spiritual center of shamans, different religions - Shamanism , Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, a pristine place not yet touched by civilization.
DIANA ANKUDINOVA | Baikal (OST 'Spirit Of Baikal')
Thank you for sharing this exciting news about Diana Ankudinova's latest project! The premiere of the OST video for the song "Baikal" on her RUclips channel sounds absolutely captivating. It's incredible to hear that Diana not only provided the stunning soundtrack but also lent her voice to two important roles in the film "The Spirit of Baikal."
The significance of Lake Baikal as the deepest and oldest freshwater lake on Earth, and its status as a spiritual center for various religions and cultures, adds an extra layer of depth to Diana's involvement in this project. It's clear that her talent and versatility shine through in every aspect of her work.
We can't wait to experience the magic of "Baikal" and witness Diana's remarkable performance in both the soundtrack and the film. Thank you for keeping us informed about such remarkable developments in Diana's career!
I agree, this is one of my favorites as well.
It's wonderful to hear that you also appreciate "Can't Help Falling In Love" as one of your favorites. Diana Ankudinova's rendition of this song is truly powerful and evocative. Her ability to convey the emotional depth of the music resonates with many listeners. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I laughed 😂❤ your facial expression “😳🥹🤣”. No one in the World 🗺️ is like her anywhere else in the World. I first watched her when she was 15 and everyone I’ve watched Reactors sometimes be afraid and sometimes can’t speak. Diana can sing Opera although she does not like it. Watch her Masked Singer Performance “Fly on the Wings of Wind” a fan has provided a copy because her episodes are blocked so view KWSTAS video of her performance.
If you want to hear her singing low throughout a whole song please react to her cover of “Human”. At age 16 she is singing on a show called “You are Super’ for Orphaned and underprivileged children. She won the first show of this competition and sings “Human” just before being declared the winner of the second season she was on competing against previous winners. You are in for a treat reacting to Diana. It’s been 3 years ago that I first watched her sing and not a day goes by that I listen to her music videos, songs or performances. Thanks for reacting.🙏🏼
Thank you for the recommendation and for sharing your enthusiasm for Diana's performance of "Human" on the show "You Are Super."

Diana's ability to showcase her vocal range and emotional depth, especially at such a young age, is truly impressive. I'm looking forward to experiencing the magic of her performance. Thanks again for your suggestion and for joining me on this journey of discovery! 🙏🏼
your welcome. You have a large library of videos to react to that each will have you amazed. She sing in Russian, English, French, German, Spanish and Arabic. Enjoy the journey. I have each and everyday for 3 years.
and just 18 in this performance.. thanks for checking her out.. she very popular with reaction channels and vocal coaches... so this is obviously a dark cover done by Tommie Proffit.
she's called the "Queen of Goosebumps" , "Voice of Mother Earth" and many more..
Thank you so much for your comment! 😊 Diana Ankudinova is truly a remarkable talent, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to share her performance. It's incredible that she's achieved so much at such a young age, and I can see why she's earned those wonderful titles. If you have any more suggestions or requests for future videos, please feel free to share them. And if you haven't already, I'd appreciate it if you could subscribe to my channel to stay updated on more amazing performances like this one! 🎶💖
I agree - Diana and Dimach touch an androgynous presence that is emerging in various artistic communities world wide. A new sound is being born. Impressed with your own emotional resonance with both singers. Dimach’s S.O.S. And Diana’s ‘Falling in Love’ are precursors of this New Age. Amazing avatars. Thankyou
Thank you for your insightful observation! It's fascinating to consider Diana Ankudinova and Dimash as embodying an androgynous presence that resonates with emerging artistic trends worldwide. Their ability to transcend traditional gender norms and express themselves through their music in such a unique way is truly remarkable.
We're honored by your appreciation of our emotional connection to both singers. Dimash's "S.O.S." and Diana's "Falling in Love" indeed seem to hint at the dawn of a new age in music, where boundaries are blurred and innovation knows no limits. They are undeniably amazing avatars of this evolving musical landscape.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for recognizing the profound impact of these extraordinary artists. We're grateful for the opportunity to experience their artistry and look forward to witnessing the continued evolution of music in this new age.
Please, respond to Diana's Russian folk song "Rechenka"("Little river")
Certainly! We'll make sure to add Diana's Russian folk song "Rechenka" to our list of reactions. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. We're excited to explore the depth and emotion of this piece alongside Diana's incredible talent. Stay tuned for our reaction!
Thanks for your musically insightful reaction. You would likely enjoy Wicked Game when she was 15 and Rechenka at 14. Her new songs are very good as well.
I was thrilled to see this in my feed! You really need to see her performance of Rechenko and Human! Thanks so much for your reaction and analysis. 🥰
I'm thrilled that you came across my video in your feed, and I'm delighted that you enjoyed the reaction and analysis! Diana Ankudinova's performances of "Rechenka" and "Human" sound captivating, and I'll definitely consider exploring them in future reactions. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm, and if you have any more suggestions or thoughts, please feel free to share them. Your feedback is greatly appreciated! 🥰🎵

Я в восторге от вашей реакции
💖🎼 Peace and love from the UK.
FWIW Igor Krutoy, who has composed some of Dimash's greatest songs, has mentored and financially supported Diana for years. That said, despite his close artistic relationship and friendship with Dimash, he has said that Lara Fabian (mentioned by someone else in this thread) is the greatest song-writer and singer he has ever collaborated with. So please start to react to her too. With Dimash (now 29 and still growing as a singer and composer), Diana (20 I think, and has only just begun writing songs), and Lara Fabian (in her 40s I think, and composing and writing lyrics that are just incredible, and then singing and performing songs better than just about any vocalist that has ever lived), you will have the kind of artists that you need to keep fueling your brilliant analyses and reactions.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt message and the insights you've shared! It's wonderful to receive such positive vibes and support from the UK. 😊
Igor Krutoy's mentorship and support for Diana Ankudinova are indeed commendable, and it's interesting to hear his perspective on Lara Fabian. I appreciate the suggestion to start reacting to Lara Fabian's work. With Dimash, Diana, and Lara Fabian, we certainly have a remarkable trio of artists with diverse talents and contributions to the world of music. I'll definitely consider exploring Lara Fabian's music and sharing my reactions in the future.
Your kind words and encouragement mean a lot, and they inspire me to continue creating content and analyses. If you have any more thoughts, suggestions, or if there's anything else you'd like to discuss, please feel free to reach out. And if you haven't subscribed to my channel yet, I'd be grateful if you could do so to stay updated on future reactions and content! 🎶💖ZAR
@@TheWordSmith365 If you are reading this I managed to get another comment posted to replace the ones YT deleted. Here's hoping!
I sub'd while watching your first Dimash reaction. I switched all notifications on too. I've seen all your videos since then -- it's how I caught this one of Diana.
While I've only commented a couple times, I've enjoyed every second of your reactions. Every dramatic pause, all the fun faces and sounds -- the whole shebang. Your MC presence, intelligently used intelligence, appealing affect, evident knowledge, skilled and diligent editing, and more, all remind me of the total commitment to learning, and to making great experiences, shared by Dimash, Diana, and Lara. Bravo! 😍

I wrote another comment here about Diana. I find I like writing unique comments that I carefully craft to address a reactor I have come to feel I "know" and love at least a little, typically after a half dozen reactions or so. It was one of those, indeed just about my favorite I've written about Diana. I had felt inspired by your evident appreciation of her, which many of us share, and enjoyed writing it. 👍
My comment was rich in details I thought you might like to know about her life. I wove them into a narrative about 7 songs sung during 6 extraordinary performances by her. I wanted you to get to know a bit of what I know about Diana, and to consider reacting to one or more of the particular series of performances I selected (because I think they form a whole artistically, spiritually, biographically, that tells a chapter of Diana's life story). It began with a song pair when she was 13, and ended with the mood video for Revelation, the first song she wrote and released a year ago when she was 19. 🎉The second to last song/performance was the one you just reacted to, when she was 18. I think they're all richly interconnected in meaning for her, and had hoped to share some of those connections with you.
Unfortunately YT deleted my comment! (Presumably because it thought it was spam. 🤬) I'd forgotten that that happens, so hadn't saved it. 😭
I don't have the spirit to try recreate it in one go, and this comment is already very long anyway. But because you replied so beautifully to my comment above, you've inspired me yet again. 🥰
----
I've decided that, over the coming months, as I revisit here to take in Diana reactions, I should try to recreate the literary love I had already tried to send in your direction, and toward Diana, but do so one performance at a time, after taking into account what I think you'll already know by then (by watching your reactions and reading all the comments).
The rest of this comment will talk only about the first/oldest of the performances in "my" set, sung when she was 13. (There are earlier performances which I think are great, but this one when she was 13 went super nova, which is of itself interesting, and it's where I think this story within a story best begins.)
First, the video. It'll be interesting to see if this sentence gets past the YT comment eating monster!:
This video is one of many that are edits of Diana participating in an audition for kids in March 2017. (This was while Dimash was a few weeks in to his famous run in the Chinese The Singer show that launched his career in Asia.) It was a Russian show with 3 judges who started with their backs turned toward auditioning children. If a judge liked what they heard, and wanted a child to stay in the competition, they were supposed to turn around.
Suffice to say, things got strange, and Diana was kinda accidentally unanimously rejected. 😲
I won't tell you much more, other than to claim that the two songs she performed, one before rejection, and one after, are both great performances in their own way, especially for a 13 year old. Indeed, at the end of the video I've linked one of the judges points at her goosebumps with what looked to me like a mix of embarrassment, relief, bewilderment, and delighted surprise.
Within short order the original video of Diana's performance had more downloads than the combined downloads of all videos of all performances by all participants in all the shows in all the seasons of the competition to that date, and if I recall correctly it has gone far beyond that original record, with over 100 million views to date. (Not the video I've linked, which is an edit of the original. As far as I know the original isn't available on YT.)
The bottom line is that, as of March 2017, Diana was suddenly a national star.
----
Things then got way weirder over the next year. In particular, her violent alcoholic biological mother got back in touch with her after that video went viral, a decade after leaving her at a bus stop in winter at the age of three with a broken collarbone. (See resources such as her Wikipedia page for more about this, and how she was non-verbal, and then she landed at an orphanage, and a carer there adopted her, and then a speech therapist suggested she try singing, and then she began singing with her adoptive sister.) But I must stop there for now.
----
So please consider trying to react to the performance I've discussed.
I say "try" because I only recall one reactor ever reacting to this performance, and I suspect it might be because it gets mercilessly blocked. That said, maybe it doesn't, and reactors just ignore it because they don't think it'll get them subs and likes, or they don't think it's spectacular enough, or they don't hear about it.
And I say "performance" rather than "video" because I hold out hope there's a better video and I just haven't found it. In particular I recall footage of her talking in the tunnel after she left the audition stage, and she was so humble and wise it just melted my heart. Perhaps you can ask viewers about it and see if anyone knows?
Anyhow, I want to assure you I think it's well worth trying to react to this performance. Also, based on what I've seen of you so far, I think there's excellent scope for you doing a great analysis of it that creates a buzz among Diana fans. And I also think it will steer you toward initially exploring a lot of the best in her body of work more or less chronologically, working through her many legendary mid and late teen performances. If you ask watchers to suggest her performances from about 13 onwards, and ask for folk to say how old she was in each performance, you should get a nicely ordered treasure trove in response.
----
One final thing. If you *can't* get a reaction to her as a 13 year old, please try her The Joker / Derniere Danse / Last Dance performance when she was 14, and if *that* won't fly, then her Rechenka.
----
See you soon!

You may not have been warned about this video.
All Diana's appearances on TV shows are blocked.
There are 3 reaction options:
1) the usual reaction, not available for Russia, minus: loss of 80-90 percent of views, plus: non-Russian viewers will see a high-quality video.
2) reaction with editing.
minus: video quality
plus: everyone can see the reaction
3) appeal on RUclips (the reaction is posted initially only for personal access).
Minus: you have to wait a little.
Plus: better quality, better views.
Thank you for providing us with these options and for appealing to RUclips on our behalf. We truly appreciate your efforts to ensure that our reaction videos can reach our audience in the best possible quality. Unfortunately, it seems that the appeal to RUclips has not been successful so far.
Given the circumstances, we will proceed with option 2 - reaction with editing. While it may result in slightly reduced video quality, we believe it's important for everyone to have access to our reactions. We're committed to providing our viewers with the best experience possible within the limitations we face.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we navigate this challenge. We'll continue to strive to deliver engaging content despite these obstacles.
Нельзя прерывать выступление Дианы!!!
I am glad you did that. I was one of those suggested. It is long video, but I will watch it again. You do justice to her.
Her voice type is : shamanic :) ...; She can do yodel (at 13, Voice Kids Russia) or Chipmunk, as the MASK singer round #1 (Lady Gaga) or anything at will.
Don't you agree with what I said ? (Dimash is painter, Diana is clay pot artist)
I'm delighted to hear that you were one of the people who suggested the video, and I'm grateful for your kind words and support. Diana Ankudinova's versatility and unique vocal abilities are truly impressive, and it's wonderful that you feel I do justice to her performances in my reactions.
I appreciate your description of her voice type as "shamanic," and it's clear that she has a wide range of vocal talents, from yodeling to taking on different styles and tones in her performances. Your analogy comparing Dimash to a painter and Diana to a clay pot artist is quite creative and captures the idea that both artists have their distinct ways of expressing their artistry.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights about Diana Ankudinova.

@@TheWordSmith365 Thanks for the detailed answer. I love them booth, for their talent and artistry. It is beyond my comprehension, as they create a whole piece, everything is connected with everything. Nothing is by the chance.
Our Queen of Goosebumps, rare dramatic contralto with polyphonic overtones. Longer, thicker vocal chords than most females. Next Diana: Wicked Game, Rechenka, Derniere Danse, Crow, +++. For more shock and awe, Angelina Jordan, Barefoot Princess: I Put A Spell on You, Bohemian Rhapsody, Feeling Good, +++. (Everyone is always taken aback by the last verse of this song. . Gasping is understandably the universal reaction.)
Thank you for sharing more about Diana Ankudinova's unique vocal qualities, and for your song recommendations for both Diana Ankudinova and Angelina Jordan. Diana's dramatic contralto voice with polyphonic overtones certainly sets her apart as an extraordinary artist.
I appreciate the song suggestions for Diana, including "Wicked Game," "Rechenka," "Derniere Danse," and "Crow," among others. These choices should provide great material for reactions and discussions.
As for Angelina Jordan, her performances are indeed astonishing, and I'll be sure to consider songs like "I Put A Spell on You," "Bohemian Rhapsody," and "Feeling Good" for future reactions. It's intriguing to hear that the last verse of "Feeling Good" elicits such a powerful reaction-it sounds like an incredible moment to experience.
If you have any more insights, suggestions, or if there's anything else you'd like to discuss, please feel free to share. Your input is valuable, and I'm here to provide content that you and other viewers will enjoy! 🎵👏
@@TheWordSmith365 Sorry that I was unclear. The last verse to which I was referring was Diana in this performance. Totally my fault. That being said, can't wait to see you shocked with Angelina at 9 with Spell On You, at 13 on AGT with Bohemian Rhapsody, at 7 winning Norway's Got Talent with Summertime, or at 10 with Feeling Good.
They call her 'the Shamanesse' as a nickname. She is magical! You are in for many treats with Diana. I'm astounded by her personal story. She had an extremely abusive alcoholic mother, unknown father and she was abandoned on the streets by her mother with a broken arm when she was about 5 yo- she was mute. Her mother's relatives took her to an orphanage and one of the women who worked at the orphange adopted her eventually. The new mother took Diana for voice lessons simply to try to get her to speak again. That child found this within herself and it's one of the best voices we've ever heard. Please go back to her 14 yo self performing Rechenka- an old Russian folk song that's pretty creepy- something like a child bride going down to the river (rechenka translates 'little river' or maybe 'dear river') and calling on the animals and the river to give her blessings as she has no family.
Your reactions are such a treat! You are so gifted with musical understanding and obviously put your heart into your work! Thank you for your sharing with us!
ive been following Diana for 5 years , I watched almost all here reaction vids.. not once have I seen her called that
@@timliscum2861 I've never heard that as a nickname either, but she has frequently been referred to as a shaman. Diana Arbenina, one of the judges on "You Are Super", called her a shaman after Diana's performance of "Wicked Game".
@@timliscum2861 I was told this by a Russian commentor who had a back and forth conversation with me regarding Diana. Perhaps it was not accurate, but I took it as good enough since I know very little about Russian culture & chit chat. Take it or leave it, but I think it fits with her remarkable talent. Cheers to you!
Thank you so much for sharing Diana's incredible journey and background with us. It's truly remarkable how she has overcome such adversity to become the phenomenal artist she is today. Her nickname, 'the Shamanesse', is a testament to the magic she brings to her performances. We're deeply touched by her personal story and the resilience she has shown.
We appreciate your kind words about our reactions and analysis. It's an honor to be able to share in the beauty of Diana's talent and to connect with fellow music enthusiasts like yourself. We'll definitely consider revisiting her 14-year-old self performing 'Rechenka' and delving deeper into the haunting yet powerful themes of the song. Thank you for your support and for being a part of our community!
Great introduction to your review of Diana's singing. I really love Diana and appreciate your take on her. You give some of the best analysis of her singing and technique I have heard. Thank you, I am looking forward to more of your reactions.
My favorite of Diana's is "Rechenko". I'd love to see you react to it. In order to really know Diana look into her background and it will make you respect her more knowing what she came from to where she is now. Another amazing artist to check out is Angelina Jordan. A lot of people's introduction to her is "I Put a Spell on You" from when she was 10 years old and one of her recent "Suspicious Minds" from Elvis but done in her own way.
Thank you for sharing your favorite Diana Ankudinova song, "Rechenko." I'll certainly consider reacting to it in the future. Understanding an artist's background can indeed deepen our appreciation for their journey and talent, so I'll make sure to delve into Diana's story to gain more insight into her incredible path to success.
I appreciate the recommendation of Angelina Jordan as well. It's fascinating to hear about her introduction through "I Put a Spell on You" at such a young age and her unique take on songs like "Suspicious Minds." I'll definitely explore her work and consider reacting to her performances too.

Hello Carl,
Yes please, more Diana.
Diana is multi-faceted and uses many different voices to perform in a variety of genres. Don't expect to see/hear the same thing twice.

I'm glad you're enjoying Diana Ankudinova's performances, and I appreciate your enthusiasm for more of her content. Diana's versatility and ability to explore various genres and voices is truly remarkable, making her a captivating artist to follow.

@@TheWordSmith365 As someone said, "Rechenka" is more suitable for vocal analysis. An entire book could be written about the many techniques used.
Specifically, one of these two performances are widely preferred by the community:
DIANA ANKUDINOVA (Диана Анкудинова) Rechenka (Реченька) (Age 14 yo) [On the channel Kwstas Vagias]
Or:
Rechenka (Little River) - Diana Ankudinova [On Diana's main channel]

Hi Carl, I love your videos, analysis. I think you are spot on for what I am looking for in these type videos. Diana’s voice just hits me in the soul. I don’t think anyone can make me feel so much as she does. I just love her low tones so much. The first time listening to this song, my heart was racing. I could not calm down for hours. Songs from Diana that I love most are; Rechenka, Crow and Last Dance. Rechenka was done when she was 14years old and is a world class performance. I have to admit I will listen to anything from her, no matter the language. Thanks again for your wonderful , insightful reactions.
I would like to see her doing a duet with dimash
That would be absolutely awesome
Beautiful reaction as usual
Many greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
I enjoy your reactions, you’re astute & enjoyable to watch, good qualities for a reactor. When you’ve time, add Aurora to your list of future singers to react to, she’s beyond beautiful to listen to and a very special person from a human point of view. Her humanity is like Dimash’s, she cares (too) deeply for the world and those in it. Love from Annie, in Cornwall, UK.🙂🌸
Thank you so much for your kind words and for the suggestion, Annie! We truly appreciate your support and encouragement. Aurora sounds like an incredibly special artist, both in terms of her talent and her humanity. We'll definitely add her to our list of future singers to react to. It's heartwarming to hear about artists like Aurora and Dimash who not only possess exceptional talent but also deeply care for the world and its inhabitants. Sending love right back to you from all of us here at 'The WordSmith' channel! 🌟🎶
Diana e Dimash = enviados direto por Deus, para quebrar paradigmas determinados pela frágil humanidade .😊😢😂❤
Need to watch her sing the song "Wicked" also the song "Human".
The editing, videography and animation are all good Carl. You're my favorite reactor and musical analyst by a long, long way. You have the perfect combination of music IQ for analysis and raw emotional reaction. You deserve way more subscriber than you do have right now. I hope you get to 10 000 subscribers soon, looks like you'll get there quickly anyway.

Couldn't have said it better! Totally agree!
Surprised I didn’t find this earlier, what a fantastic analysis- you are very well-spoken. I would call that an appropriate reaction to the last verse 😅 Diana really is a marvel
I appreciate you doing a little bit of research beforehand to give yourself some context, many people fail to do this. I also appreciate you pointing out the laryngeal control she has! This is one of the most important and distinctive parts of her vocal technique, besides the masterful control she has over her whole range and the ease with which she switches registers. She’s a world-class talent for sure
If you want suggestions for other singers to review, you’ll probably notice a number of recurring names (Angelina Jordan, Lara Fabian, AURORA, Faouzia, possibly also Daneliya Tuleshova and Gabriel Henrique). They are all fantastic. I also wouldn’t miss out on any of the great Filipino singers like Morisette Amon, Marcelito Pomoy, or Katrina Velarde. They should give you some content and subscribers for a while! Thanks for your reaction 👍

This is how the song was originally composed to be sung. It is not a sweet love song, it is a song about an underage girl, that falls in love with an older man. She knows it's wrong but, She can't help falling in love" .

I just wanted to say this is one of the best reactions to this performance I’ve seen. This live rendition was also the very first time I had ever heard her sing. In point of fact, it was only a quick RUclips short that I clicked on out of curiosity. And while I don’t know what my facial expression was when I heard her belt like that, I imagine it was in the same ball park. Diana became my favorite female vocalist of all time very quickly. And I have not stopped enjoying her amazing notes since.
i probably lost my s*** harder than you did, somehow, when I first heard that last verse. I know its not a competition but I havent lost it harder than that since I first saw Dimash lol

Most unique voice on the planet.
Where are you in S.A.?
Thank you for your kind words! I'm currently based in Durban and yourself?
@@TheWordSmith365 Arizona. I've driven around much of S.A. Got an old Umschlanga Rocks t-shirt buried somewhere....
It's only been 5 months since you recorded this.... I hope you've recovered. My first reaction was... duh umm oh uhhh, oh my God. What the... (long pause).... duh. I was very glad I was sitting down. I have never been so emotionally driven by a singing performance as that.

Yes, a unique and hauntingly beautiful voice. And person! You should track back a little in time and see the performance of 'Rechenka' which she performed around 14 > 15? years of age. Even more amazing. [ Have a look at her backstory. She has overcome a lot to get to 'here'. The world is lucky to have her. ] I think ir was her pervformance of Wicked Game where Igor Krutoy, as a guest panel judge, first heard her. He immediately recognised what a unique talent Diana is asnd - again ( as with Dimash ) stepped into a mentoring role and enabled her to access the best vocal school for further / teritary studies. I gather Diana is still studying and also composing, and this is most definitely a career to watch!
* As for a 'Ranking System'- I'm not so keen on these. The best talents are so unique and diverse I beleive it does each artist a disservice to try to compare. Each should be appreciated for their own artistry. 🙂
Голос Дианы - голос Ангела ❤
She is a dark contralto up to mezzo soprano. Also, she's has polyphony. Meaning she's bringing in another voice at will when it's required. You can hear it being used in this performance. Flat tongue technique , with a wide gap means she can belt it out as powerful as someone like Celine Dion. Now, did you know she's only 15 years old on this show. Also you will see a judge standing up with his hands held up as if praying. He's a top Russian Opera Singer & he's just heard an angel. He explains afterwards on his comments that in all of his musical career at the top, he's never heard such a voice, he's in awe. She's now 21 with a 4 octave range. Check out her output, it's prodigious.
Many more suggestions in the comments. Derniere Danse is a good place to start. Rechenka is incredible. One of my favorites is Crow. But please listen to Human. She has said that was the most comfortable for her to sing. She has several new original songs, The Day You and In My Huge City. Absolutely beautiful! And of course, Baikal, which is in a new Russian movie, The Spirit of Baikal. It's shamanic, which is something Diana does well. And she can also yodel, which you'll hear in a couple of these. She is classified as a dramatic contralto. Some say she is polyphonic but that's not what she's doing. She's able to create massive resonance and thus, sings overtones. A lot of people feel as if they're hearing more than one voice when she sings. Her vocal control and styling are really beyond anything I've ever heard. And she most recently has demonstrated a range from F3 to D6. Yes, a whistle note.I hope you react to and analyze more from her. ❤

Another you might have seen… Emma Kok singing Voila with Andre Rieu. Unexpected for me.
Thanks for Diana. She is also one of a kind.

Diana Ankudinova y Dimash Qudaibergen son los mejores cantantes del mundo mundial y del universo entero de este y del paralelo son aliens, son ángeles son impresionantes y espectaculares sus rangos vocales y sus interpretaciones son magistrales,sus octavas son inauditas... Dimash tiene casi 7 octavas y Diana Ankudinova 5 octavas, simplemente no hay punto de comparación son maravillosos y realmente únicos woww woww...un fuerte abrazo y saludos desde México...
Great reaction video. The sound from your speaking mic is very soft compared to the playing video. I have to turn the volume up when you speak, then down when you play the video.
But so far your reaction vids are great. From a fellow South African also from Durban ;)
