Before I receive backlash, everything I say in this video, I say with best intentions and full honesty. You were all right about Diana's high notes. She has grown into an even more amazing singer! Thank you for recommending this to @Kwstas_Vagias, @peteroberst117, @GreenJeans1966, @olafpradler4444, dragana0539, @DianaRussia531, @Soprano2303, @grom010101
I do not know why you are expecting a negative reaction. You are entitled to your opinion. Brandon and Diana will have a new song coming out soon, maybe more than one.
@@AleksReacts It's not really about honesty. You didn't claim that this song was bad at all, it just didn't impress you personally. I don't like people who make their personal opinion absolute.
Thank you for that. I agree, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and especially their own taste. As long as it is not proclaimed as the only valid opinion out there.
Diana, with her purity and ability to feel like no other. She is able to convey love and beauty to the world through her magical voice. That's why people talk about magic, miracle, happiness when they hear this unearthly voice... Diana can use it skillfully and subtly, putting us in a semi-trance state, forcing us to experience the history of the song with her. Diana Ankudinova's voice is one of those rare phenomena and events in my life that have seriously changed it. You begin to perceive music from a completely different angle and from a different angle, it begins to play with completely new colors. This unreliable world was lucky - a particle of something bright appeared, which allows you to look beyond the horizon of future events with confidence!
Алекс, ты потрясающая женщина, настоящий профессионал своего дела, очень грамотная в музыке и очень честная в своих суждениях. Сейчас редко можно встретить такого человека. Да, и у вас потрясающая улыбка. Благодарю за реакцию о нашей ДИАНОЧКЕ. Я на вас подписался и хочу, чтобы вы дальше реагировали, на вас приятно смотреть и слушать ваши мысли. ❤🎉
Именно Брендон Стоун настоял на дальнейшем развитии высоких диапазонов в творчестве Дианы .... спасибо ему за это ..!! It was Brandon Stone who insisted on the further development of high ranges in Diana's work.... thank him for that..!!
Привет Казахстану! I believe you are the first commenter from Kazakhstan - it is great to have you on the channel. ❤ Thank you. I am glad we agree, she can do so much more and breathe life into much more beautiful songs than this one. As for being liked in Kazakhstan, I mean who wouldn't like her anywhere around the globe? An amazing talent.
Да, песня проходная и по содержанию и по музыке , но интересная с точки зрения развития диапазона Дианы. На самом деле даже у известных певцов перепевших сотни песен не так много хитов, что называется на века.
Brandon has been mentoring Diana for many many years and honestly no one knows her abilities as good as he does and he has been working with her and lifting her up for the world to see her abilities as you will discover and many times he does this behind the scenes and sometimes he performs with her he has been a extreme positive influence in her career they are very close and very magical together and if you would like to see other performances that she has done that he has an influence in she has a performance. Called into the sky. Also another one is in my huge City. I think you will love that one because it is very very different there is also a song that she did herself. Call. We remain. Very beautiful song. And if you like Louis Armstrong she did a cover of what a wonderful world Brandon Stone play in the piano as I said before you are just now starting and again we all envy that. She has become my everyday comfort zone
I do not doubt that Brandon knows her abilities, I am simply doubting his ability to keep up with hers, albeit based on this one song. Perhaps others he did with her are better and it just happens that I bumped into the least enticing one for me. All your suggestions have been added to the list, so one by one, I'll hopefully get to most if not all of them. Thank you!
Алекс! Огромное спасибо за прекрасную реакцию на творчество нашей Дианы и Брендон! Эта песня перевернула мой мир ! Постоянно хочется слушать необычный голос Дианы, и я слушаю все песни этой великолепной певицы!!! Счастья Вам!!!
Greetings from Moscow! You surprised me, you heard something that many people don't hear. Yes, Diana is more comfortable singing low notes, but she is sometimes scolded for this, so for several years now she has been training high notes every day. In 5-6 years, Diana will surprise the world. Brandon has already written several songs for Diana, another one will be released soon, there was an announcement the other day. Alex, listen to the soundtracks of Hans Zimmer performed by Diana ("Dune", "It's Not time to Die"). Thanks for the reaction.
Привет Москве! Thank you so much for watching my reaction - I'm glad you liked it. I do not think she should be scolded for singing in her natural register. Her voice is beautiful as it is, but if SHE wants to and can make it even better, I see no reason why not. I've added both suggestions to the list. I may be slow, but I will get to most on there. 😉
@@AleksReacts Both "sentences" are in a different tessitura. To be honest, I was very surprised. You don't have to react, just listen. I adore Diana and even dedicated poems to her (they are included in the collection and are available on the Internet). And the fact that you are "slow" is okay, I will wait.
Fun fact, I like reacting. Feels like I'm listening/watching with other people when I do that. Ultimately, in the comments, turns out I really am not watching it alone.
Diana always holds back in her duets, since she is capable of going low she is usually the one that sings the base voice and lets her partner shine more but in cases where she is allowed to open her mouth just a bit more then she immediately drowns her duet's voice like in this case, Diana went where Brandon or anyone else for that matter could not follow, only when she was in check they harmonized together. One duet where Diana was able to go all out was on the masked singer show when she sang together with the male Bass renowned Opera singer Ildar Abdrazakov, he has one of the most powerful male voices in the world and duets between a Bass and a Contralto just do not happen so it is a treat that very few have the chance to listen in their lives, they sing the song "I am grateful to you". Her highs sound different because as a natural Dramatic Contralto she carries the weight of her voice all the way to her high notes, all the Soprano voices reaching this high turn to whistle this is natural (and annoying to my ears) but Diana sings her highs in what is called "Super head voice" it is a different technique than "whistle" way harder to achieve but the notes can be heard clearer and you have better control over them, Whistle is easier to achieve but you have less control. Brandon is an incredible composer and he has mainly composed most of Diana's original songs, he only wrote a couple of them, he knows her voice very well and he was actually the one that kept pushing her to sing high. His compositions for Diana are amazing and different each time, you might no liked this song (Personally i loved it) but i am sure that you will find many others that you will like, he is bold and he is changing his compositions for her all the time. If you want to listen to some other songs Brandon Composed for Diana that are way different than this then try "In my huge city", "As your voice", "In to the sky", "So it happened the me rode away". If you are more in the mood to listen to something magical and way out of the ordinary then go for her movie soundtrack songs like "Baikal" from the movie Spirit of "Baikal" where Diana plays the role of the spirit herself and the soundtrack of the movie "Dune". On another note i like your new thumbnails they are classy and they give an identity to your videos, i suggest that you use a colored picture for the video you watch, keep black and white your photo and the top and bottom bars, this will make your thumbnails pop more and differ from each other because right now someone will not be able to differentiate with a glance between two of your own videos on a small screen like a mobile phone they will all look the same, this is my opinion, you can take it or not, remember have fun doing this and it will go well.
Dear Constantine or should I call you Kóstas, so good to hear from you again! As you can probably tell, I am going through Diana's repertoire song by song, and although she personally always sounds amazing, this is the first time the song itself seemed too "small" for her voice. Who knows, it might happen again, but you've also provided a lot of suggestions that I think I will like 100%. It's a long journey, we'll see. Thank you so much for the compliment on the thumbnails. I noticed the same thing you did once more videos were made. I was given an idea or two on how to keep them sort of black and white and still allow some color in. A change is likely to come, but it won't be drastic. Should allow everyone to differentiate between videos though. 😉
@@AleksReacts It is ok you can call me whatever, as for the song everyone has their favourites and others that they do not like as much, for example I do not like the song "We remained" from Diana, if you think that "The day you..." Is not up in par with her voice wait till you listen to that one, other people like it though. It is matter of taste.
@@AleksReacts It was my most listened song until Baikal came out and turned everything upside down for me. Now I have Baikal everywhere, on my channel's banner, on my phone wallpaper, it is my ringtone too, it is perfect for me.
Спасибо за вашу реакцию. Полностью согласен с вашим выводом о том , что Диана способна петь очень сложные партии. Может быть к сожалению, а может быть к счастью Диана отказалась от сотрудничества с очень знаменитыми продюсерами и только Брендон смог расположить её к себе благодаря доброму сердцу и бескорыстному сотрудничеству. Многие хотели бы заработать на Диане, но не учли того, что она очень свободолюбивый человек и настоящий большой артист не смотря на свою молодость она уже более 15 лет на сцене и за это время спела не одну сотню произведений. То что может Диана в мире могут единицы и то что она не гонится за сиюминутной славой делает ей честь. Брендон чрезвычайно образованный джазовый музыкант и пианист у него немело прекрасных песен, но Диана настолько особенная и всесторонне одарённая, что написать для нее мировой хит очень трудная задача. Возможно в мире есть композитор способный в полной мере раскрыть ее возможности но об этом мы узнаем в будущем близком или далёком покажет жизнь.
Спасибо за ваш вдумчивый комментарий! "Возможно в мире есть композитор способный в полной мере раскрыть ее возможности но об этом мы узнаем в будущем близком или далёком покажет жизнь." We will find out at some point, I hope soon, as her voice deserves it.
Love the honesty in your reaction, her voice is truly unique and you are correct in that she needs a much more challenging song! Thank you as always great reaction.
All voices have a scattering of frequencies that splinter off your core tone. Everyone has them and they help give us a unique sound. Diana just has more and they are a little more profound. Enjoyed your video. 🌷🌷
Интересная реакция . Реально интересная. Прекрасный дуэт , отличная песня , но лично мне больше по нраву вариант где Диана поёт одна , и именно тот вариант для меня является лучшей песней года в России ! Здесь видимо свою негативную роль сыграл перевод , так как на русском языке песня весьма-весьма красива , красноречива и в то же время несмотря на откровенность достаточно целомудренна. Я считаю эту песню одним из пиков в графике творчества Брендона Стоуна , однозначно !
Thank you so much! After quite a few comments it does feel like the translation might be lacking. Even though it was the duet that was requested the most, I wonder if it would have left a stronger impression on me if it was only Diana singing...
@@AleksReacts Если во время работы над видео ты будешь думать, что создаешь не свое видео,а общее, совместное с артистом( особенно таким как Диана Анкудинова-Дар Света)и зрителями ( особенно такими как мы, любящими Диану!) то это будет способствовать лучшему взаимопониманию!
👉 What a beautiful love song written by the brilliant Brandon Stone (lyrics, music and arrangement) for our Diana. When the audio/video came out, I wanted a duet between the two... and here they are: Diana and Brandon performed the song 'The Day When You...' at the main New Year's concert on December 17, 2023 at the MTC Live hall. I've never heard duet partners whose voices fit together as well as Diana and Brandon. The two voices sound incredibly good together... pure harmony... magic! Diana is becoming more and more beautiful. She looks very elegant and enchanting in this dress and as always her voice sends shivers of joy through my body. * Brandon Stone (stage name), *1980 in Tbilisi, Georgia. He is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, lyricist and arranger. Brandon is also a professional jazz pianist and a top-notch producer. His musical life began at the age of 3 with piano lessons. In 1997 he began studying jazz pianism at the music academy 'Hans Eisler' in Berlin/ Germany (he lived there with his parents). After twenty years in Germany and a few years in the USA, he now lives in Russia with his wife and two children. Brandon Stone prefers an interesting mix of styles both as a composer and as a singer (jazz/soul/pop). His melodic songs as well as high technique, emotional intensity and honesty of performance, his wonderful voice (3.5 octaves) and charm helped Brandon Stone to become popular in many European countries, America and Commonwealth of Independent States. He sings in Russian, English, German, Spanish, French, Hebrew and Georgian. Stones song “Magic Christmas” became the #1 Christmas hit in Spain in 2002 (age 22): ruclips.net/video/_tXBw-oPmqM/видео.html and even overtook the song Robbie Williams. In 2005, Igor Krutoy personally asked Stone to compose and produce for the New Wave. He did it from 2005-2010. Stone has already composed ca. 800 songs and sold around 2,000,000 records, mostly as a composer or lyricist, mainly in the former CIS countries. In Georgia (Europe) he is revered as a singer and artist, as a folk hero. Stone has received many important national and international awards and prizes. In 2018-2020 he was nominated for the Victoria Prize (Similar to the Grammy. Dimash and Krutoy won the 2019 Victoria Prize). Since 2019, Brandon Stone has worked extensively with Diana. Diana's first CD of songs composed and produced by Stone, released Dec 2021, was certified Gold in June 2022.

Thank you for sharing all the information. I understand that Brandon Stone is popular and loved by many, but he just isn't my cup of tea. Perhaps I'll run into a melody of his sung by Diana and he will grow on me. Still, to me first impressions matter and it's not likely that he will, even though I am by now a fan of Diana and she seems to like him. I am glad though that he is a fan of Diana's as well.
On the one hand, I'm agreed with you, on the other hand, this song was ten times better, than any other during the event. We don't have anyone, who is able to write a song, good enough for her, and there's very difficult to find such person abroad. So, likely, she will have to make it all herself.
THAT I can certainly agree on! Hard to find someone who can create a masterpiece that she deserves. Maybe it will be her who does it best. Then again, Igor Krutoy, who has written for Dimash I understand, potentially could give her an opportunity to shine the brightest if he wrote a song for her.
@@AleksReacts@AleksReacts Unfortunately, Igor Krutoy tends to the classic style in writing songs that are not so characteristic of Diana. Diana rejected her offer to become her producer when she was only 14 years old. К сожалению,Игорь Крутой тяготеет к классическому стилю в написании песен,не столь свойственному для Дианы. Предложение стать её продюсером Диана отклонила,когда ей было всего 14 лет.
@@AleksReacts Likely she is able to do so. Krutoy gave her an old song, that's it for now. And I'm not sure, if he is able to write such song for sure.
Спасибо за реакцию на Диану Дмитриевну. Она замечательная девушка и вокалистка. Thank you for your reaction to Diana Dmitrievna. She is a wonderful girl and vocalist.
@@AleksReacts на вкус и цвет все фломастеры разные))Брэндон и Диана уже 5 лет сотрудничают.И просто дружат.Брэндон не одну песню для Дианы написал и помоему он сам растет вместе с ней.Он сам хороший певец и талантливый музыкант но в тандеме с Дианой у него получаются очень красивые вещи.Советую послушать В огромном городе на стихи русской поэтессы Марины Цветаевой(стихотворение написано в 1916 году).
Спасибо! I am glad that we're both tolerant and moreover that you are willing to suggest something that might work better, if this one wasn't the one for me. Of course, I added it to the list, along with the other requests for the same song. 😊
The owner of the darkest, deepest, thickest female voice of the planet hit the verrrry high note of D6 in this masterpiece. The song also is not average! It's a masterpiece! You need to be inside the song to get the point. Please mention some of the ones that you have heard to be similar!
We fully agree on the first part of your comment. As for the second part, to me the song sounded like most of the songs we hear on a daily basis in the Balkans. I don't know the names of the songs, because I don't often listen to that music, but I've heard very similar love songs for years now. The voices differ, but the songs keep repeating for 50+ years. Maybe it's just my taste in music and this doesn't fit. I did not say that my opinion is the only correct one - it's an impression it left on me personally. Again, we don't have to agree on everything. We still agree on Diana for sure. 😊
@@AleksReacts Thank you for your reply. The fact must be accepted that tastes are different and as a result feelings are conveyed differently. Maybe for me, who is a professional and permanent listener and fascinated by Diana's voice, the topic you raised was not very digestible. But the lyrics of this song are somehow new because it creates a state of expectation and suspense in the listener, what was the result of this expectation? On the day you... came?... did you enter the house?... Did you make me happy again or what?... This type of suspense is less visible in the lyrics of many love songs. Most of them have a completely routine and predetermined story: either the lover reaches the beloved or he/she doesn't! But this suspension continues until the end of the lyrics of this song, and in my opinion, its masterpiece is that the listener cannot make a definite conclusion at the end. Another point is that maybe another voice could have been used for the duet besides Diana, for example an opera voice or a bass voice. I do not know. Diana has already shown the potential to turn the most ordinary songs into masterpieces. This is my opinion, but at the same time, I completely agree with your opinion that Diana's ability and voice are far beyond these things!
Ah, you see I did not pick up on that at all. My focus was so much on their singing and also I wasn't too sure about the lyrics. Perhaps they don't translate well or I totally misunderstood. Some songs in my language did not go well at all when listened to by foreigners, simply have totally different connotations and those often don't even seem important enough in a more common type of song, like a love song. For example, I knew I was missing something in the lyrics in Rechenka, but that song had a melody that "told" me that as well. Here, the only lyric that caught my attention was "I will envelop you in spring", such a lovely image. However, the rest, I understood they very much are together, they met, fell in love and now are being confused by being in love (the feeling is messy when you're young and crazy about someone). That's what I heard. Maybe that is what makes art beautiful and interesting, that different people notice/hear/feel different things...
@@AleksReacts I don't know the Russian language. I have used the translators to the song. The lyrics of this song are: Staring blank at schedules planned ahead, I re-live September days in my head What's with me happening? Maybe I've been waiting all my life Closing off my heart till you came around What's with me happening? I don't know how to name this feeling right But with you my soul's flying so high So high. I will drown in your love, not wanting to be saved. Feelings take my breath away. I'm captured by this wave. With your own key you tenderly unlocked doors of my soul Day - when you walked into my home. Best of days - when you walked into my home. Drowning in the ocean of your sweet love No more blocks and wars, the sky's blue above. What's with me happening? Let your shining smile illuminate my home Wishing that together we'll meet the dawn. What's with me happening? I don't know how to name this feeling right But with you my soul's flying so high So high. I will drown in your love, not wanting to be saved. Feelings take my breath away. I'm captured by this wave. With your own key you tenderly unlocked doors of my soul Day - when you walked into my home. Best of days - when you walked into my home. With your own key you tenderly unlocked doors of my soul Day - when you walked into my home. Best of days - when you walked into my home. Aren't they really lovely?
@@AleksReacts And this is my interpretation of the song. I hope that you will like it: The day your voice ascended from the Earth to the Galaxies! (My interpretation of the song: The Day You…): Ali Mohammad Khorshiddoust On August 1, 2023, when this song was released with Brandon Stone, it was clear that it was going to be a hit because the composer, arranger and poet was Brandon himself, who has been Diana's songwriting partner since her age of 16. In this song, in addition to composing and writing songs, Brandon also sang along with Diana, in which he has a history. The lyrics of the song are heavy like most of Diana's original songs. I have been vigilant and have seen that Diana is careful in covering the songs of other singers, but she is very obsessive in choosing the lyrics and content for her original songs, that is, she does not sing every song, but she is willing and I should say infatuated. The lyrics of the songs are deep, meaningful and have a message in it. This song also has this situation and our not old Angel has sung this song with special care and patience. As I said before, the lyrics of the song are heavy and somewhat dark and sad. It is as if a professional lover has lost her love and is waiting behind the door and window for him to return home. To express the deadly and exhausting waiting that she has to see her lover again, she asks herself, “What is happening to me? It's like I've been waiting all my life for you to come and open the door and hug me”. “If I were with you, my soul would fly and conquer the highest peaks and fly to the farthest skies....” The power and concentration of the content of the poem is quite evident, a new poem with an old content, a beautiful poem with a romantic theme. Perhaps understanding the meanings of the lyrics of this song reminds me of historical lovers like Romeo and Juliet, as well as famous Persian lovers “Lily and Majnoon”. But the most important part of this painful and suspenseful song is the place where Diana screams with the loudest voice and demands the lost love. However, one point here is surprising to me: Diana doesn't really know her infinite capacities, when she creates a masterpiece she thinks it should be just like that, a normal song! But she really doesn't know that!!!! No one else can sing like this!! Only you can do it Angel!! That's why she sings the vocals so easily that she doesn't frown as usual and believes that she has done her duty!! Yes, she thinks so, but is it possible?? Is it possible for the owner of the lowest voice in the world to express the highest voice in the world even in a live performance?? It is here that when she shouts, her shout becomes her highest note ever (D6), but she takes me and us and everyone to the highest throne and makes our hair stand. Again, it makes me cry and tears roll in my eyes that: Thank you so much to this vast and beautiful nature that created Diana so that her voice ascends from the earth to the galaxies! #FullStop
👉 Diana’s voice sometimes has polyphonic undertones (overtones, the general category is divided into overtones and undertones). You hear Diana's voice a few tones lower than she actually sings. Not everyone can hear that. Some people hear it, some people just feel like there's something in her voice and there are people who don't hear anything in particular. * Soprano Notes (Opera singer Jessica Sirène McKenzie) - She explains in a very entertaining way how Diana creates her sound.- ruclips.net/video/DDTU7MDYfB4/видео.html
Интересно наблюдать за вашим лицом, когда вы слушаете Брендона и когда Диану😂 Мне тоже кажется, что он не дотягивает и мне больше нравится версия, где Диана поет одна.
I know what you mean, I saw that too when I was checking if the video is fully recorded. Yes, 😂 is the correct reaction to my reaction. Спасибо, что заставили меня снова посмеяться над этим. ❤
Greetings from Scotland! Interesting comments Alex. I can see and appreciate what you are saying about the song not being "Diana standard" because it is going to take a very, very special lyricist to provide a song which will "fit" Diana's considerable vocal abilities. I hope that lyricist will eventually be Diana herself, but we will see. I believe that Brandon wrote the song for himself, then decided that Diana would suit it better. Of course Diana modified it in some places as she always does, to suit her voice. One other thing, it is Brandon who has constantly encouraged Diana to flex her upper register, and it has definitely paid off! 😊😊 ----- Привет из Шотландии! Интересный комментарий, Алекс. Я понимаю и ценю то, что ты говоришь о том, что песня не является "стандартной для Дианы", потому что потребуется очень, очень особенный автор текстов, чтобы создать песню, которая "соответствовала" значительным вокальным способностям Дианы. Я надеюсь, что автором текстов в конечном итоге станет сама Диана, но посмотрим. Я полагаю, что Брэндон написал песню для себя, он решил, что Диана подойдет к ней больше. Конечно, Диана, как всегда, изменила ее в некоторых местах, чтобы она соответствовала ее голосу. Кроме того, именно Брэндон постоянно поощрял Диану играть в верхнем регистре, и это определенно принесло свои плоды! 😊😊
Hello again, good to see you, Peter! Your infamy does follow you and my memory is still keeping up. ❤ Seems like if we're looking at this song alone we agree. However, it also seems like Brandon's impact on her career is more than this song. From what I hear, positive in every way. I might have been a bit too critical of him, but hey, that was my first impression. As for Diana's voice, I love it whether it be in the lower or upper register. She remains unique... 😊
@@AleksReacts Great! Just started heavy rain here, but, as long as I'm under cover, I quite like heavy rain with BIG spots! Drizzle, now that's annoying and depressing! Enjoy your reactions!
I smiled along with you the moment you realised Diana was singing. I tend to agree with your overall opinion. I think singing with Diana is a very tall ask because of the colour of her voice low and high both. Brandon knows her so I think he was able to adjust accordingly and there is no ego tug of war here since they work together and he mentors her. Because Diana can drown out most others, it is hard I think to find someone willing to say it’s ok if I am overshadowed. One other successful duet where Diana cannot drown out her partner is the one she did for the mast show with the opera bass Ildar. Personally I think your next one should either be “oh it’s not evening yet” from the same show as “can’t help falling in love”. Or another deep on is “I will win you back” from the show Mask (though there are many instances where she also sings it live and it creeps into your bones making you shiver). Or the music video Baikal where her shamanic style singing is on full display.
Your comment made me smile again, thinking of us smiling along to Diana's singing. Thank you for that! ❤ I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that it's hard to sing with Diana. I do think he managed the harmonies with her admirably, all things considered. Apologies for my response the first time, I could not read your comment properly on my phone. All suggestions are added to the queue and I will get to most, if not all.
This has been a perhaps legitimate criticism of her work - that her material maybe doesn't quite measure up to her immense talent. I think this is a byproduct of her deciding to go on her own, and deciding to refuse "top" professionals and producers. As a huge Diana admirer and supporter I prefer to see her on her own path. Yes, she is an incredible talent, but more than that, she seems to be a very real and genuine good person. I would never want to see her exchange her good character and principals for fame and wealth. She will always have a huge (and growing) fan base all over the World who admire her for who she is and just want to see her continue to develop in her craft at her won pace. Honestly I could hear her sing a phone directory and be completely enthralled by her voice.
Once again, I agree. The video would be too long if I said everything I'm thinking. I think I'm simply hoping for her to write her own stuff or find someone who is as good a composer as she is a singer. Not all great ones are in the industry - some aren't discovered yet. 😊
@@AleksReacts Her first self written original song "Revelation" is really wonderful, especially as a "first" written by a, I think, nineteen year old at the time.
Diana Ankudinova's voice has a ton of overtones, and she can use them purposefully; I think this is what people mean when they say she is polyphonic. I've never heard a real vocal expert describe her voice as polyphonic
I'm certainly not an expert and I'm also really not good at detecting what it is I am hearing. All I know is that it's different and enchanting at the same time.
I appreciate your frank opinion of this piece. In defense of Brandon Stone, Diana herself has been trying to get a popular hit in Russia, and she never sings anything that she doesn't believe in. Another one like this I think is the poppy "Burnt Out," which nevertheless I like (the video not so much) because, well, Diana. And yes, I think you're right, the color of her voice throughout her range is unusually dark and beautiful. But while Diana's is often described as "polyphonic" (she's never described herself this way, as far as I know), if you look up "polyphonic" on RUclips for examples, you'll see that strictly speaking it refers to something quite different. ruclips.net/video/vC9Qh709gas/видео.html However, what I believe she does have is the amazing ability to sing in such a way that you can very clearly hear harmonics in her voice that in other singers are not audible, especially when she's belting in chest voice. For just one example at 4:41-4:52. And that, whatever you call it, is UNIQUE! Sorry for the long comment!
Thank you so much for shedding light on this topic and for the excellent example of what polyphonic singing really is! I'm actually glad for the long comment - you had a lot of valuable information to impart, specifically about what interests me the most - the actual music! Thank you for that! ❤ It seems that what I am hearing is the same thing you have described so well in your 3rd paragraph. To me it feels like she is not human, but almost like a resonance box that emits a very exceptional harmony of sounds. Whatever it is that she does, she simply makes me smile.
Красивая песня и фантастическое исполнение песни дуэтом! И искренняя честная реакция! Только не согласен с автором канала, что это песня посредственная! В любом случае Диане и Брендону - браво, а за реакцию - лайк! Beautiful song and fantastic performance of the song by the duet! And a sincere honest reaction! I just don’t agree with the author of the channel that this song is mediocre! In any case, bravo to Diana and Brandon, and like for the reaction!
Thank you so much for your comment. Hey, we don't all have to agree on everything. If we did, the world would be a boring place. However, we can certainly respect each others opinions. 😉 It's a pleasure doing reactions for intelligent and well spoken people, like most of Diana's fans are.
Thank you Nataly! ❤ Aha, something new and potentially interesting by the look of the video cover 😉 Love the Vikings show, no clue if I heard this song though, especially The Bass Gang and it seems theirs is a cover, right? Not sure I got the right one here, though. Is this what you mean: ruclips.net/video/6_hrXRJLhyk/видео.html
I listen to Diana too much and for too long. Diana always knew how to sing high notes. Only thanks to the structure of her vocal cords, singing in a contralto voice is easier, one might even say more pleasant. It is physiologically difficult for her to sing an entire concert as an alto or soprano. Even after age-related deterioration of her voice, she was always able to sing high. Although I prefer Diana's deeper voice. I love that velvety quality that many people call raucousness.
I agree, it just seems she is more confident with the higher register now than she was when she was younger. Still, that is to be expected with more practice and with age. I also agree on the preference for her lower register, although her voice keeps the same qualities across the board, her lower register feels warmer somehow...
@@AleksReacts It is natural for any person to gain confidence as a result of many years of practice in any field of activity. Especially if the person is talented, diligent and loves his job. Diana loves her profession and loves to give people joy. For her age, she is a purposeful person.
You certainly don't pull your punches even though you know this won't please many, you are not going for votes, this is your own honest review. I think you were a little harsh with Brandon, he's just OK, give him a little kudos for writing this for Diana and inspiring her. Can anyone be quite good enough to duet with Diana. Thank you.
You got me there. Might be I was a bit too harsh on him, but it is my first reaction. I could pretend, but then it would be neither fair to me nor to Diana's fans. I only just "met" the guy, he might grow on me, or not. What does stand is what you said: "Can anyone be quite good enough to duet with Diana?" I don't know... Maybe... Thank you as well for your honest review of my reaction - this is precisely why I like doing this.
I agree with your assessment of the difference between the scope of this song and Diana's vocal potential. But the student of the GITIS Theatre Institute (Moscow) does not have the means for super hits, she also refuses (for now) offers from famous producers, but tours the country a lot with solo concerts, gaining very useful concert experience. All her famous appearances are connected with TV shows and their big production budgets. The next big step in Diana's creative career was to perform in 'The Art of Hans Zimmer' in Moscow and St Petersburg in the autumn of 2023. There are no professional recordings of these concerts, but the videos posted on Diana's RUclips channel give a fairly complete picture of her performances there: - "No Time To Die" (Soundtrack. James Bond) ruclips.net/video/gmV5CQkZ3Lw/видео.html 😎 - DUNE (soundtrack) ruclips.net/video/AzO5OXJY-J0/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/0VrDBdoDKwE/видео.html (lyrics sub) 🤩
Thank you! I fully agree that she should refuse offers from producers mainly because I believe she can make beautiful music herself. No clue why I believe this, but this level of talent cannot exist for nothing. I've noted both your suggestions for future reactions. 😊
Пожалуйста, послушайте песню, которую Диана поет в клубе Magnus lokus "Твой голос". . ruclips.net/video/jnxDALkIl9c/видео.htmlsi=mPm9LQzMMjMRGJ7_ Очень услышать Ваше мнение
*I agree with you about this song.* But Diana is still a student, she does not have a star producer. All of Diana’s most successful performances are associated with rich television projects (You’re Super! ShowMaskGoon. Mask). Diana said that her children's voice was higher. As she grew up, her voice became lower and she had to fight for the top notes. But already at the age of 18 she overcame the standard contralto range, expanding it to almost 3 octaves, for example: ShowMaskGoon, "Can't Help Falling In Love" (2021): ruclips.net/video/M-znD6QKbrg/видео.html. Now, she claims to reach high notes within 4 octaves (with good singing). *But not all songs require this range!* Of Diana's last epic scenes, I can recommend two covers from the grandiose show "The Art of Hans Zimmer" (2023): - "No Time To Die" (Soundtrack. James Bond) ruclips.net/video/gmV5CQkZ3Lw/видео.html 😎 - "DUNE" (Soundtrack) ruclips.net/video/AzO5OXJY-J0/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/0VrDBdoDKwE/видео.html (lyryc sub)
Thank you! I understand that she is still young, she is still entering the world of "entertainment". I do hope that everyone around her is truly helping her along with best intentions, not just for personal gain. She deserves support and protection in that demanding industry. Her range is less important to me, personally. I simply enjoy the color of her voice, be it in the low or high register. I'd be happy to listen to her in any that she feels comfortable and happy with. Thank you for sharing the Dune with lyrics, I haven't watched any of the movies and I haven't read the books (not a fan of SciFi), so lyrics will help me understand what I am listening to. I already tried listening to the original, to prepare and to be honest, I don't get it at all. I guess my focus will have to be on the music alone, but the lyrics might help a little. 😊
@@AleksReacts In the comments to the Dune soundtrack, I outlined in detail the method for deciphering the fantastic alien language “Galact”, in which the lyrics of the song are written. I recommend first listening to the song with the subtitles "Latin-Galach(t)" (Латин-Galach(t)), which provides a transcription of the text (as heard) for comparison with Diana's singing. And then you can select subtitles translated into a language convenient for you. 🥸
Milá priateľka, pieseň je napísaná pre ucho diváka a nie aby sa Diana predvádzala. Sú piesne kde sa Diana môže predvádzať a sú piesne kde poslucháč dostáva zimomriavky a mágiu. Spevák nemusí predvádzať v piesňach štyri alebo päť oktáv, dobrý spevák zaspieva pieseň v jednej oktáve a dá vám pocit na dlhú dobu. Nesúhlasím s vašim komentárom ale máte like aby ste pokračovali a hľadali čo hľadáte
Ďakujem za komentár, možno sa nezhodneme, ale stále sa bavíme o jej pesničke, však? 😉 I am by now a fan of Diana. Of course a singer does not have to sing in 5 octaves to be good, but I just didn't feel what you felt. For me, it felt like Diana was pulling back so that the duet could work, and the song itself just did not raise emotions in me. It's a matter of taste, soul, feelings, not a matter of reason...
Before I receive backlash, everything I say in this video, I say with best intentions and full honesty.
You were all right about Diana's high notes. She has grown into an even more amazing singer!
Thank you for recommending this to @Kwstas_Vagias, @peteroberst117, @GreenJeans1966, @olafpradler4444, dragana0539, @DianaRussia531, @Soprano2303, @grom010101
I do not know why you are expecting a negative reaction. You are entitled to your opinion. Brandon and Diana will have a new song coming out soon, maybe more than one.
Thank you! I'm not sure myself, but I've found in life people don't always like total honesty. Why should RUclips be any different...
@@AleksReacts It's not really about honesty. You didn't claim that this song was bad at all, it just didn't impress you personally. I don't like people who make their personal opinion absolute.
Thank you for that. I agree, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and especially their own taste. As long as it is not proclaimed as the only valid opinion out there.
Respect your honesty. Again, thank you for your time and comments.
Diana, with her purity and ability to feel like no other. She is able to convey love and beauty to the world through her magical voice. That's why people talk about magic, miracle, happiness when they hear this unearthly voice... Diana can use it skillfully and subtly, putting us in a semi-trance state, forcing us to experience the history of the song with her.
Diana Ankudinova's voice is one of those rare phenomena and events in my life that have seriously changed it. You begin to perceive music from a completely different angle and from a different angle, it begins to play with completely new colors.
This unreliable world was lucky - a particle of something bright appeared, which allows you to look beyond the horizon of future events with confidence!
Everything you said is exactly why I thought she makes the song what it is. Agree on all points.

👍👍👍👍👍
Алекс, ты потрясающая женщина, настоящий профессионал своего дела, очень грамотная в музыке и очень честная в своих суждениях. Сейчас редко можно встретить такого человека. Да, и у вас потрясающая улыбка. Благодарю за реакцию о нашей ДИАНОЧКЕ. Я на вас подписался и хочу, чтобы вы дальше реагировали, на вас приятно смотреть и слушать ваши мысли. ❤🎉
Спасибо вам от всего сердца! ❤ There will be more reactions to Diana, very soon actually.
Именно Брендон Стоун настоял на дальнейшем развитии высоких диапазонов в творчестве Дианы .... спасибо ему за это ..!!
It was Brandon Stone who insisted on the further development of high ranges in Diana's work.... thank him for that..!!
If she's happy with it, so am I. I love her voice, whether it be her low or high notes. ❤
Да вы правы. Для её голоса и таланта песня маловата. Привет из Казахстана. Она также любима и у нас .
Привет Казахстану! I believe you are the first commenter from Kazakhstan - it is great to have you on the channel. ❤ Thank you. I am glad we agree, she can do so much more and breathe life into much more beautiful songs than this one. As for being liked in Kazakhstan, I mean who wouldn't like her anywhere around the globe? An amazing talent.
Thank you ❤
Thank you as well! ❤
Interesting Reaction, I love Diana !
Thank you, I enjoy her voice very much as well!
Да, песня проходная и по содержанию и по музыке , но интересная с точки зрения развития диапазона Дианы. На самом деле даже у известных певцов перепевших сотни песен не так много хитов, что называется на века.
Fully agreed with you on all counts.
Дианка❤❤❤❤❤
Always lovely...
Brandon has been mentoring Diana for many many years and honestly no one knows her abilities as good as he does and he has been working with her and lifting her up for the world to see her abilities as you will discover and many times he does this behind the scenes and sometimes he performs with her he has been a extreme positive influence in her career they are very close and very magical together and if you would like to see other performances that she has done that he has an influence in she has a performance. Called into the sky. Also another one is in my huge City. I think you will love that one because it is very very different there is also a song that she did herself. Call. We remain. Very beautiful song. And if you like Louis Armstrong she did a cover of what a wonderful world Brandon Stone play in the piano as I said before you are just now starting and again we all envy that. She has become my everyday comfort zone
I do not doubt that Brandon knows her abilities, I am simply doubting his ability to keep up with hers, albeit based on this one song. Perhaps others he did with her are better and it just happens that I bumped into the least enticing one for me.
All your suggestions have been added to the list, so one by one, I'll hopefully get to most if not all of them. Thank you!
✨Oh! It was amazing! Great performance! A great duo! Amazing voices! ❤🧡💯
Bravo!🎵🎶💯
Thank you for you reaction!🙋♂
Thank you as well for watching it! I am glad you liked it. ❤
Голос ДИАНЫ ФЕНОМЕНАЛЕН и ПРЕКРАСЕН и красиво переплетается с голосом Брендона!!! Спасибо за прекрасную реакцию!!❤❤❤
Yes, it does indeed intertwine beautifully with Brandon's voice. Thank you for watching! ❤
Алекс! Огромное спасибо за прекрасную реакцию на творчество нашей Дианы и Брендон! Эта песня перевернула мой мир ! Постоянно хочется слушать необычный голос Дианы, и я слушаю все песни этой великолепной певицы!!! Счастья Вам!!!

Диана Анкудинова, ты Супер 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Спасибо за реакцию👍👍
Благодарю вас за просмотр моего видео! ❤
Greetings from Moscow! You surprised me, you heard something that many people don't hear. Yes, Diana is more comfortable singing low notes, but she is sometimes scolded for this, so for several years now she has been training high notes every day. In 5-6 years, Diana will surprise the world. Brandon has already written several songs for Diana, another one will be released soon, there was an announcement the other day. Alex, listen to the soundtracks of Hans Zimmer performed by Diana ("Dune", "It's Not time to Die"). Thanks for the reaction.
Привет Москве! Thank you so much for watching my reaction - I'm glad you liked it. I do not think she should be scolded for singing in her natural register. Her voice is beautiful as it is, but if SHE wants to and can make it even better, I see no reason why not. I've added both suggestions to the list. I may be slow, but I will get to most on there. 😉
@@AleksReacts Both "sentences" are in a different tessitura. To be honest, I was very surprised. You don't have to react, just listen. I adore Diana and even dedicated poems to her (they are included in the collection and are available on the Internet). And the fact that you are "slow" is okay, I will wait.
Fun fact, I like reacting. Feels like I'm listening/watching with other people when I do that. Ultimately, in the comments, turns out I really am not watching it alone.
Спасибо за реакцию Дианы Анкудиновой ❤❤❤
Thank you as well for taking the time to hear it. ❤️
Diana always holds back in her duets, since she is capable of going low she is usually the one that sings the base voice and lets her partner shine more but in cases where she is allowed to open her mouth just a bit more then she immediately drowns her duet's voice like in this case, Diana went where Brandon or anyone else for that matter could not follow, only when she was in check they harmonized together.
One duet where Diana was able to go all out was on the masked singer show when she sang together with the male Bass renowned Opera singer Ildar Abdrazakov, he has one of the most powerful male voices in the world and duets between a Bass and a Contralto just do not happen so it is a treat that very few have the chance to listen in their lives, they sing the song "I am grateful to you".
Her highs sound different because as a natural Dramatic Contralto she carries the weight of her voice all the way to her high notes, all the Soprano voices reaching this high turn to whistle this is natural (and annoying to my ears) but Diana sings her highs in what is called "Super head voice" it is a different technique than "whistle" way harder to achieve but the notes can be heard clearer and you have better control over them, Whistle is easier to achieve but you have less control.
Brandon is an incredible composer and he has mainly composed most of Diana's original songs, he only wrote a couple of them, he knows her voice very well and he was actually the one that kept pushing her to sing high.
His compositions for Diana are amazing and different each time, you might no liked this song (Personally i loved it) but i am sure that you will find many others that you will like, he is bold and he is changing his compositions for her all the time.
If you want to listen to some other songs Brandon Composed for Diana that are way different than this then try "In my huge city", "As your voice", "In to the sky", "So it happened the me rode away".
If you are more in the mood to listen to something magical and way out of the ordinary then go for her movie soundtrack songs like "Baikal" from the movie Spirit of "Baikal" where Diana plays the role of the spirit herself and the soundtrack of the movie "Dune".
On another note i like your new thumbnails they are classy and they give an identity to your videos, i suggest that you use a colored picture for the video you watch, keep black and white your photo and the top and bottom bars, this will make your thumbnails pop more and differ from each other because right now someone will not be able to differentiate with a glance between two of your own videos on a small screen like a mobile phone they will all look the same, this is my opinion, you can take it or not, remember have fun doing this and it will go well.
Dear Constantine or should I call you Kóstas, so good to hear from you again!
As you can probably tell, I am going through Diana's repertoire song by song, and although she personally always sounds amazing, this is the first time the song itself seemed too "small" for her voice.
Who knows, it might happen again, but you've also provided a lot of suggestions that I think I will like 100%. It's a long journey, we'll see.
Thank you so much for the compliment on the thumbnails. I noticed the same thing you did once more videos were made. I was given an idea or two on how to keep them sort of black and white and still allow some color in. A change is likely to come, but it won't be drastic. Should allow everyone to differentiate between videos though. 😉
@@AleksReacts It is ok you can call me whatever, as for the song everyone has their favourites and others that they do not like as much, for example I do not like the song "We remained" from Diana, if you think that "The day you..." Is not up in par with her voice wait till you listen to that one, other people like it though.
It is matter of taste.
Kóstas it is then. 😊 Yup, definitely a matter of taste. Even that can change over time. Who knows, this was the first listen, maybe it grows on me.
@@AleksReacts It was my most listened song until Baikal came out and turned everything upside down for me.
Now I have Baikal everywhere, on my channel's banner, on my phone wallpaper, it is my ringtone too, it is perfect for me.
You do what I do. You fall in love with a song and keep playing it over and over. I did that with e.g. Diana's version of Wicked Game.
Посмотрите клип, где Диана поет одна.
I did, I just didn't react to it (would be silly to react to the same song twice). Personally, I like it better. 😉
Спасибо за вашу реакцию. Полностью согласен с вашим выводом о том , что Диана способна петь очень сложные партии. Может быть к сожалению, а может быть к счастью Диана отказалась от сотрудничества с очень знаменитыми продюсерами и только Брендон смог расположить её к себе благодаря доброму сердцу и бескорыстному сотрудничеству. Многие хотели бы заработать на Диане, но не учли того, что она очень свободолюбивый человек и настоящий большой артист не смотря на свою молодость она уже более 15 лет на сцене и за это время спела не одну сотню произведений. То что может Диана в мире могут единицы и то что она не гонится за сиюминутной славой делает ей честь. Брендон чрезвычайно образованный джазовый музыкант и пианист у него немело прекрасных песен, но Диана настолько особенная и всесторонне одарённая, что написать для нее мировой хит очень трудная задача. Возможно в мире есть композитор способный в полной мере раскрыть ее возможности но об этом мы узнаем в будущем близком или далёком покажет жизнь.
Спасибо за ваш вдумчивый комментарий! "Возможно в мире есть композитор способный в полной мере раскрыть ее возможности но об этом мы узнаем в будущем близком или далёком покажет жизнь." We will find out at some point, I hope soon, as her voice deserves it.
Thanks for reaction and very good comment!
Thank you for watching. 😊

Love the honesty in your reaction, her voice is truly unique and you are correct in that she needs a much more challenging song! Thank you as always great reaction.
Thank you so much! An honor to have your feedback on many of the videos. Yes, I do know your handle. ❤
All voices have a scattering of frequencies that splinter off your core tone. Everyone has them and they help give us a unique sound. Diana just has more and they are a little more profound. Enjoyed your video. 🌷🌷
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I did not know that. I just state what I hear, not a professional myself. 😊
Интересная реакция . Реально интересная. Прекрасный дуэт , отличная песня , но лично мне больше по нраву вариант где Диана поёт одна , и именно тот вариант для меня является лучшей песней года в России ! Здесь видимо свою негативную роль сыграл перевод , так как на русском языке песня весьма-весьма красива , красноречива и в то же время несмотря на откровенность достаточно целомудренна. Я считаю эту песню одним из пиков в графике творчества Брендона Стоуна , однозначно !
Thank you so much! After quite a few comments it does feel like the translation might be lacking. Even though it was the duet that was requested the most, I wonder if it would have left a stronger impression on me if it was only Diana singing...

@@AleksReacts Если во время работы над видео ты будешь думать, что создаешь не свое видео,а общее, совместное с артистом( особенно таким как Диана Анкудинова-Дар Света)и зрителями ( особенно такими как мы, любящими Диану!) то это будет способствовать лучшему взаимопониманию!
👉 What a beautiful love song written by the brilliant Brandon Stone (lyrics, music and arrangement) for our Diana. When the audio/video came out, I wanted a duet between the two... and here they are: Diana and Brandon performed the song 'The Day When You...' at the main New Year's concert on December 17, 2023 at the MTC Live hall. I've never heard duet partners whose voices fit together as well as Diana and Brandon. The two voices sound incredibly good together... pure harmony... magic!
Diana is becoming more and more beautiful. She looks very elegant and enchanting in this dress and as always her voice sends shivers of joy through my body.
* Brandon Stone (stage name), *1980 in Tbilisi, Georgia. He is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, lyricist and arranger. Brandon is also a professional jazz pianist and a top-notch producer.
His musical life began at the age of 3 with piano lessons. In 1997 he began studying jazz pianism at the music academy 'Hans Eisler' in Berlin/ Germany (he lived there with his parents). After twenty years in Germany and a few years in the USA, he now lives in Russia with his wife and two children.
Brandon Stone prefers an interesting mix of styles both as a composer and as a singer (jazz/soul/pop). His melodic songs as well as high technique, emotional intensity and honesty of performance, his wonderful voice (3.5 octaves) and charm helped Brandon Stone to become popular in many European countries, America and Commonwealth of Independent States. He sings in Russian, English, German, Spanish, French, Hebrew and Georgian.
Stones song “Magic Christmas” became the #1 Christmas hit in Spain in 2002 (age 22): ruclips.net/video/_tXBw-oPmqM/видео.html and even overtook the song Robbie Williams.
In 2005, Igor Krutoy personally asked Stone to compose and produce for the New Wave. He did it from 2005-2010.
Stone has already composed ca. 800 songs and sold around 2,000,000 records, mostly as a composer or lyricist, mainly in the former CIS countries. In Georgia (Europe) he is revered as a singer and artist, as a folk hero.
Stone has received many important national and international awards and prizes. In 2018-2020 he was nominated for the Victoria Prize (Similar to the Grammy. Dimash and Krutoy won the 2019 Victoria Prize).
Since 2019, Brandon Stone has worked extensively with Diana. Diana's first CD of songs composed and produced by Stone, released Dec 2021, was certified Gold in June 2022. (internet helped)

Thank you for sharing all the information.
I understand that Brandon Stone is popular and loved by many, but he just isn't my cup of tea. Perhaps I'll run into a melody of his sung by Diana and he will grow on me. Still, to me first impressions matter and it's not likely that he will, even though I am by now a fan of Diana and she seems to like him. I am glad though that he is a fan of Diana's as well.
А мне очень нравится эта песня! И спасибо за реакции на Дианочку! 👍👍👍❤
I loved her, but the song remains in my view "too small" for her. It's not a bad song, but e.g. Baikal is so much more worthy of Diana. 😊
@@AleksReacts да, песня Байкал мне тоже очень нравится, особенно в сочетании с видео.. 👍❤
On the one hand, I'm agreed with you, on the other hand, this song was ten times better, than any other during the event.
We don't have anyone, who is able to write a song, good enough for her, and there's very difficult to find such person abroad. So, likely, she will have to make it all herself.
THAT I can certainly agree on! Hard to find someone who can create a masterpiece that she deserves. Maybe it will be her who does it best.
Then again, Igor Krutoy, who has written for Dimash I understand, potentially could give her an opportunity to shine the brightest if he wrote a song for her.
@@AleksReacts@AleksReacts Unfortunately, Igor Krutoy tends to the classic style in writing songs that are not so characteristic of Diana.
Diana rejected her offer to become her producer when she was only 14 years old.
К сожалению,Игорь Крутой тяготеет к классическому стилю в написании песен,не столь свойственному для Дианы.
Предложение стать её продюсером Диана отклонила,когда ей было всего 14 лет.
@@AleksReacts Likely she is able to do so.
Krutoy gave her an old song, that's it for now. And I'm not sure, if he is able to write such song for sure.
@@wlad462-iu4tu What the difference, what the style? She is able to sing anything.

Брэндон Стоун написал эту песню специально под Диану и я сомневаюсь что кто то еще сможет с этой вещью справиться)

Thank you! That's so sweet of you. ❤
The owner of the darkest, deepest, thickest female voice of the planet hit the verrrry high note of D6 in this masterpiece. The song also is not average! It's a masterpiece! You need to be inside the song to get the point. Please mention some of the ones that you have heard to be similar!
We fully agree on the first part of your comment.
As for the second part, to me the song sounded like most of the songs we hear on a daily basis in the Balkans. I don't know the names of the songs, because I don't often listen to that music, but I've heard very similar love songs for years now. The voices differ, but the songs keep repeating for 50+ years. Maybe it's just my taste in music and this doesn't fit. I did not say that my opinion is the only correct one - it's an impression it left on me personally.
Again, we don't have to agree on everything. We still agree on Diana for sure. 😊
@@AleksReacts Thank you for your reply. The fact must be accepted that tastes are different and as a result feelings are conveyed differently. Maybe for me, who is a professional and permanent listener and fascinated by Diana's voice, the topic you raised was not very digestible. But the lyrics of this song are somehow new because it creates a state of expectation and suspense in the listener, what was the result of this expectation? On the day you... came?... did you enter the house?... Did you make me happy again or what?... This type of suspense is less visible in the lyrics of many love songs. Most of them have a completely routine and predetermined story: either the lover reaches the beloved or he/she doesn't! But this suspension continues until the end of the lyrics of this song, and in my opinion, its masterpiece is that the listener cannot make a definite conclusion at the end. Another point is that maybe another voice could have been used for the duet besides Diana, for example an opera voice or a bass voice. I do not know. Diana has already shown the potential to turn the most ordinary songs into masterpieces. This is my opinion, but at the same time, I completely agree with your opinion that Diana's ability and voice are far beyond these things!
Ah, you see I did not pick up on that at all. My focus was so much on their singing and also I wasn't too sure about the lyrics. Perhaps they don't translate well or I totally misunderstood. Some songs in my language did not go well at all when listened to by foreigners, simply have totally different connotations and those often don't even seem important enough in a more common type of song, like a love song. For example, I knew I was missing something in the lyrics in Rechenka, but that song had a melody that "told" me that as well. Here, the only lyric that caught my attention was "I will envelop you in spring", such a lovely image. However, the rest, I understood they very much are together, they met, fell in love and now are being confused by being in love (the feeling is messy when you're young and crazy about someone). That's what I heard.
Maybe that is what makes art beautiful and interesting, that different people notice/hear/feel different things...
@@AleksReacts I don't know the Russian language. I have used the translators to the song. The lyrics of this song are:
Staring blank at schedules planned ahead,
I re-live September days in my head
What's with me happening?
Maybe I've been waiting all my life
Closing off my heart till you came around
What's with me happening?
I don't know how to name this feeling right
But with you my soul's flying so high
So high.
I will drown in your love, not wanting to be saved.
Feelings take my breath away. I'm captured by this wave.
With your own key you tenderly unlocked doors of my soul
Day - when you walked into my home.
Best of days - when you walked into my home.
Drowning in the ocean of your sweet love
No more blocks and wars, the sky's blue above.
What's with me happening?
Let your shining smile illuminate my home
Wishing that together we'll meet the dawn.
What's with me happening?
I don't know how to name this feeling right
But with you my soul's flying so high
So high.
I will drown in your love, not wanting to be saved.
Feelings take my breath away. I'm captured by this wave.
With your own key you tenderly unlocked doors of my soul
Day - when you walked into my home.
Best of days - when you walked into my home.
With your own key you tenderly unlocked doors of my soul
Day - when you walked into my home.
Best of days - when you walked into my home.
Aren't they really lovely?
@@AleksReacts And this is my interpretation of the song. I hope that you will like it:
The day your voice ascended from the Earth to the Galaxies! (My interpretation of the song: The Day You…):
Ali Mohammad Khorshiddoust
On August 1, 2023, when this song was released with Brandon Stone, it was clear that it was going to be a hit because the composer, arranger and poet was Brandon himself, who has been Diana's songwriting partner since her age of 16. In this song, in addition to composing and writing songs, Brandon also sang along with Diana, in which he has a history. The lyrics of the song are heavy like most of Diana's original songs. I have been vigilant and have seen that Diana is careful in covering the songs of other singers, but she is very obsessive in choosing the lyrics and content for her original songs, that is, she does not sing every song, but she is willing and I should say infatuated. The lyrics of the songs are deep, meaningful and have a message in it. This song also has this situation and our not old Angel has sung this song with special care and patience. As I said before, the lyrics of the song are heavy and somewhat dark and sad. It is as if a professional lover has lost her love and is waiting behind the door and window for him to return home. To express the deadly and exhausting waiting that she has to see her lover again, she asks herself, “What is happening to me? It's like I've been waiting all my life for you to come and open the door and hug me”. “If I were with you, my soul would fly and conquer the highest peaks and fly to the farthest skies....” The power and concentration of the content of the poem is quite evident, a new poem with an old content, a beautiful poem with a romantic theme. Perhaps understanding the meanings of the lyrics of this song reminds me of historical lovers like Romeo and Juliet, as well as famous Persian lovers “Lily and Majnoon”. But the most important part of this painful and suspenseful song is the place where Diana screams with the loudest voice and demands the lost love. However, one point here is surprising to me: Diana doesn't really know her infinite capacities, when she creates a masterpiece she thinks it should be just like that, a normal song! But she really doesn't know that!!!! No one else can sing like this!! Only you can do it Angel!! That's why she sings the vocals so easily that she doesn't frown as usual and believes that she has done her duty!! Yes, she thinks so, but is it possible?? Is it possible for the owner of the lowest voice in the world to express the highest voice in the world even in a live performance?? It is here that when she shouts, her shout becomes her highest note ever (D6), but she takes me and us and everyone to the highest throne and makes our hair stand. Again, it makes me cry and tears roll in my eyes that: Thank you so much to this vast and beautiful nature that created Diana so that her voice ascends from the earth to the galaxies! #FullStop
👉 Diana’s voice sometimes has polyphonic undertones (overtones, the general category is divided into overtones and undertones). You hear Diana's voice a few tones lower than she actually sings. Not everyone can hear that.
Some people hear it, some people just feel like there's something in her voice and there are people who don't hear anything in particular.

I see that Jess is a reactor who actually studied music. I'll take a look at the video for sure. Thank you!
Интересно наблюдать за вашим лицом, когда вы слушаете Брендона и когда Диану😂 Мне тоже кажется, что он не дотягивает и мне больше нравится версия, где Диана поет одна.
I know what you mean, I saw that too when I was checking if the video is fully recorded. Yes, 😂 is the correct reaction to my reaction. Спасибо, что заставили меня снова посмеяться над этим. ❤
Greetings from Scotland! Interesting comments Alex. I can see and appreciate what you are saying about the song not being "Diana standard" because it is going to take a very, very special lyricist to provide a song which will "fit" Diana's considerable vocal abilities. I hope that lyricist will eventually be Diana herself, but we will see. I believe that Brandon wrote the song for himself, then decided that Diana would suit it better. Of course Diana modified it in some places as she always does, to suit her voice. One other thing, it is Brandon who has constantly encouraged Diana to flex her upper register, and it has definitely paid off! 😊😊

Привет из Шотландии! Интересный комментарий, Алекс. Я понимаю и ценю то, что ты говоришь о том, что песня не является "стандартной для Дианы", потому что потребуется очень, очень особенный автор текстов, чтобы создать песню, которая "соответствовала" значительным вокальным способностям Дианы. Я надеюсь, что автором текстов в конечном итоге станет сама Диана, но посмотрим. Я полагаю, что Брэндон написал песню для себя, он решил, что Диана подойдет к ней больше. Конечно, Диана, как всегда, изменила ее в некоторых местах, чтобы она соответствовала ее голосу. Кроме того, именно Брэндон постоянно поощрял Диану играть в верхнем регистре, и это определенно принесло свои плоды! 😊😊
Hello again, good to see you, Peter! Your infamy does follow you and my memory is still keeping up. ❤ Seems like if we're looking at this song alone we agree. However, it also seems like Brandon's impact on her career is more than this song. From what I hear, positive in every way. I might have been a bit too critical of him, but hey, that was my first impression. As for Diana's voice, I love it whether it be in the lower or upper register. She remains unique... 😊
@@AleksReacts Ooo, at 70yo I quite like the idea of me being infamous! Aleks! 😊 Have a great weekend!
You said it a while ago, I just support infamy. 😉 Oh, and the weekend is when I record these, so it will be fun again.
@@AleksReacts Great! Just started heavy rain here, but, as long as I'm under cover, I quite like heavy rain with BIG spots! Drizzle, now that's annoying and depressing! Enjoy your reactions!
I smiled along with you the moment you realised Diana was singing. I tend to agree with your overall opinion. I think singing with Diana is a very tall ask because of the colour of her voice low and high both. Brandon knows her so I think he was able to adjust accordingly and there is no ego tug of war here since they work together and he mentors her. Because Diana can drown out most others, it is hard I think to find someone willing to say it’s ok if I am overshadowed. One other successful duet where Diana cannot drown out her partner is the one she did for the mast show with the opera bass Ildar. Personally I think your next one should either be “oh it’s not evening yet” from the same show as “can’t help falling in love”. Or another deep on is “I will win you back” from the show Mask (though there are many instances where she also sings it live and it creeps into your bones making you shiver). Or the music video Baikal where her shamanic style singing is on full display.
Your comment made me smile again, thinking of us smiling along to Diana's singing. Thank you for that! ❤
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that it's hard to sing with Diana. I do think he managed the harmonies with her admirably, all things considered.
Apologies for my response the first time, I could not read your comment properly on my phone. All suggestions are added to the queue and I will get to most, if not all.

This has been a perhaps legitimate criticism of her work - that her material maybe doesn't quite measure up to her immense talent. I think this is a byproduct of her deciding to go on her own, and deciding to refuse "top" professionals and producers. As a huge Diana admirer and supporter I prefer to see her on her own path. Yes, she is an incredible talent, but more than that, she seems to be a very real and genuine good person. I would never want to see her exchange her good character and principals for fame and wealth. She will always have a huge (and growing) fan base all over the World who admire her for who she is and just want to see her continue to develop in her craft at her won pace. Honestly I could hear her sing a phone directory and be completely enthralled by her voice.
Once again, I agree. The video would be too long if I said everything I'm thinking. I think I'm simply hoping for her to write her own stuff or find someone who is as good a composer as she is a singer. Not all great ones are in the industry - some aren't discovered yet. 😊
@@AleksReacts Her first self written original song "Revelation" is really wonderful, especially as a "first" written by a, I think, nineteen year old at the time.
I shall find out. Thank you for pointing that one out. You know already, added to the list. 😉
Diana Ankudinova's voice has a ton of overtones, and she can use them purposefully; I think this is what people mean when they say she is polyphonic. I've never heard a real vocal expert describe her voice as polyphonic
I'm certainly not an expert and I'm also really not good at detecting what it is I am hearing. All I know is that it's different and enchanting at the same time.
I appreciate your frank opinion of this piece. In defense of Brandon Stone, Diana herself has been trying to get a popular hit in Russia, and she never sings anything that she doesn't believe in. Another one like this I think is the poppy "Burnt Out," which nevertheless I like (the video not so much) because, well, Diana.
And yes, I think you're right, the color of her voice throughout her range is unusually dark and beautiful. But while Diana's is often described as "polyphonic" (she's never described herself this way, as far as I know), if you look up "polyphonic" on RUclips for examples, you'll see that strictly speaking it refers to something quite different.
ruclips.net/video/vC9Qh709gas/видео.html
However, what I believe she does have is the amazing ability to sing in such a way that you can very clearly hear harmonics in her voice that in other singers are not audible, especially when she's belting in chest voice. For just one example at 4:41-4:52. And that, whatever you call it, is UNIQUE!
Sorry for the long comment!
Thank you so much for shedding light on this topic and for the excellent example of what polyphonic singing really is! I'm actually glad for the long comment - you had a lot of valuable information to impart, specifically about what interests me the most - the actual music! Thank you for that! ❤
It seems that what I am hearing is the same thing you have described so well in your 3rd paragraph. To me it feels like she is not human, but almost like a resonance box that emits a very exceptional harmony of sounds. Whatever it is that she does, she simply makes me smile.
Красивая песня и фантастическое исполнение песни дуэтом!
И искренняя честная реакция!
Только не согласен с автором канала, что это песня посредственная!
В любом случае Диане и Брендону - браво, а за реакцию - лайк!
Beautiful song and fantastic performance of the song by the duet!
And a sincere honest reaction!
I just don’t agree with the author of the channel that this song is mediocre!
In any case, bravo to Diana and Brandon, and like for the reaction!
Thank you so much for your comment. Hey, we don't all have to agree on everything. If we did, the world would be a boring place. However, we can certainly respect each others opinions. 😉
It's a pleasure doing reactions for intelligent and well spoken people, like most of Diana's fans are.
Hi ALEX! Nice to see you❤ will you please, react amazing song of THE BASS GANG & YEKATERINA SHELEHOVA / IF I HAD A HEART❤😊

Noted alongside your request for Non Je Ne Regrette Rien. See, I do keep track. 😉
I listen to Diana too much and for too long. Diana always knew how to sing high notes. Only thanks to the structure of her vocal cords, singing in a contralto voice is easier, one might even say more pleasant. It is physiologically difficult for her to sing an entire concert as an alto or soprano. Even after age-related deterioration of her voice, she was always able to sing high. Although I prefer Diana's deeper voice. I love that velvety quality that many people call raucousness.
I agree, it just seems she is more confident with the higher register now than she was when she was younger. Still, that is to be expected with more practice and with age. I also agree on the preference for her lower register, although her voice keeps the same qualities across the board, her lower register feels warmer somehow...
@@AleksReacts It is natural for any person to gain confidence as a result of many years of practice in any field of activity. Especially if the person is talented, diligent and loves his job. Diana loves her profession and loves to give people joy. For her age, she is a purposeful person.
True, if one works at it. Diana obviously does and that in itself is worthy of respect.
You certainly don't pull your punches even though you know this won't please many, you are not going for votes, this is your own honest review. I think you were a little harsh with Brandon, he's just OK, give him a little kudos for writing this for Diana and inspiring her. Can anyone be quite good enough to duet with Diana. Thank you.
You got me there. Might be I was a bit too harsh on him, but it is my first reaction. I could pretend, but then it would be neither fair to me nor to Diana's fans. I only just "met" the guy, he might grow on me, or not. What does stand is what you said: "Can anyone be quite good enough to duet with Diana?" I don't know... Maybe... Thank you as well for your honest review of my reaction - this is precisely why I like doing this.
I agree with your assessment of the difference between the scope of this song and Diana's vocal potential. But the student of the GITIS Theatre Institute (Moscow) does not have the means for super hits, she also refuses (for now) offers from famous producers, but tours the country a lot with solo concerts, gaining very useful concert experience. All her famous appearances are connected with TV shows and their big production budgets.
The next big step in Diana's creative career was to perform in 'The Art of Hans Zimmer' in Moscow and St Petersburg in the autumn of 2023. There are no professional recordings of these concerts, but the videos posted on Diana's RUclips channel give a fairly complete picture of her performances there:
- "No Time To Die" (Soundtrack. James Bond) ruclips.net/video/gmV5CQkZ3Lw/видео.html 😎
- DUNE (soundtrack) ruclips.net/video/AzO5OXJY-J0/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/0VrDBdoDKwE/видео.html (lyrics sub) 🤩
Thank you! I fully agree that she should refuse offers from producers mainly because I believe she can make beautiful music herself. No clue why I believe this, but this level of talent cannot exist for nothing. I've noted both your suggestions for future reactions. 😊
Пожалуйста, послушайте песню, которую Диана поет в клубе Magnus lokus "Твой голос". . ruclips.net/video/jnxDALkIl9c/видео.htmlsi=mPm9LQzMMjMRGJ7_ Очень услышать Ваше мнение
Я с радостью выслушаю ваше предложение, только, пожалуйста, наберитесь терпения. Спасибо, что уважаете моё мнение.
*I agree with you about this song.* But Diana is still a student, she does not have a star producer. All of Diana’s most successful performances are associated with rich television projects (You’re Super! ShowMaskGoon. Mask). Diana said that her children's voice was higher. As she grew up, her voice became lower and she had to fight for the top notes. But already at the age of 18 she overcame the standard contralto range, expanding it to almost 3 octaves, for example: ShowMaskGoon, "Can't Help Falling In Love" (2021): ruclips.net/video/M-znD6QKbrg/видео.html.
Now, she claims to reach high notes within 4 octaves (with good singing). *But not all songs require this range!*
Of Diana's last epic scenes, I can recommend two covers from the grandiose show "The Art of Hans Zimmer" (2023):
- "No Time To Die" (Soundtrack. James Bond) ruclips.net/video/gmV5CQkZ3Lw/видео.html 😎
- "DUNE" (Soundtrack) ruclips.net/video/AzO5OXJY-J0/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/0VrDBdoDKwE/видео.html (lyryc sub)
Thank you! I understand that she is still young, she is still entering the world of "entertainment". I do hope that everyone around her is truly helping her along with best intentions, not just for personal gain. She deserves support and protection in that demanding industry.
Her range is less important to me, personally. I simply enjoy the color of her voice, be it in the low or high register. I'd be happy to listen to her in any that she feels comfortable and happy with.
Thank you for sharing the Dune with lyrics, I haven't watched any of the movies and I haven't read the books (not a fan of SciFi), so lyrics will help me understand what I am listening to. I already tried listening to the original, to prepare and to be honest, I don't get it at all. I guess my focus will have to be on the music alone, but the lyrics might help a little. 😊
@@AleksReacts In the comments to the Dune soundtrack, I outlined in detail the method for deciphering the fantastic alien language “Galact”, in which the lyrics of the song are written.
I recommend first listening to the song with the subtitles "Latin-Galach(t)" (Латин-Galach(t)), which provides a transcription of the text (as heard) for comparison with Diana's singing. And then you can select subtitles translated into a language convenient for you. 🥸
I do not think I will ever reach an understand a true Dune fan has, like you seem to be, but I will give it my best shot! ❤
Not the best song for her, to be honest. And in general, I’m not delighted with this collaboration with this composer.. She deserves better
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one of that opinion.
Milá priateľka, pieseň je napísaná pre ucho diváka a nie aby sa Diana predvádzala. Sú piesne kde sa Diana môže predvádzať a sú piesne kde poslucháč dostáva zimomriavky a mágiu. Spevák nemusí predvádzať v piesňach štyri alebo päť oktáv, dobrý spevák zaspieva pieseň v jednej oktáve a dá vám pocit na dlhú dobu. Nesúhlasím s vašim komentárom ale máte like aby ste pokračovali a hľadali čo hľadáte
Очень верно! Полностью согласен с тобой! Диана Анкудинова навсегда!
Ďakujem za komentár, možno sa nezhodneme, ale stále sa bavíme o jej pesničke, však? 😉
I am by now a fan of Diana. Of course a singer does not have to sing in 5 octaves to be good, but I just didn't feel what you felt. For me, it felt like Diana was pulling back so that the duet could work, and the song itself just did not raise emotions in me. It's a matter of taste, soul, feelings, not a matter of reason...
@@AleksReacts Не надо быть фанатом, а лучше быть ценителем творчества артиста! А еще лучше просто полюбить Диану Анкудинову!
