One video of Diana's, in my sight, is a total masterpiece the like of which I don't remember ever seeing before in my long life. It's a must see for anyone that loves singing with unending emotion. If you think she's born for the stage, this will confirm it!!! The background of the song is essential to know. The title of the song is "Ornery (or "Fastidious" or "Finicky") Horses". The song has nothing to do with horses in reality - the horses are being used as a metaphor for life. The author of song is begging the horses to slow down (he is aware he is approaching death), but, at the same time he is whipping them along (his chaotic lifestyle) - he knows that his lifestyle is taking him to an early death, however, he is unable to change it.....the composer of the song, Vladimir Vysotsky, was a singer-songwriter, poet, and actor as well as an alcoholic & drug addict and died in 1980 at the age of 42. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqabmopvd8iKo7s . Subtitles are a must for Diana's words before and after the song.

Here are three reasons why Diana (the Queen of Goosebumps) doesn't sound human. First, she is a contralto, which is the absolute rarest type of female voice. It allows her to sing very dramatic/powerful, very (I mean VERY) deep, very dark, very rich. Second, she has a spectacular larynx. She's been called the vocal Eighth Wonder of the World. Third, she is polyphonic, which means she can produce multiple harmonics within her voice at the same time. This is what allows her to sound like two people at once. (more below) When you add all that up you basically get a person who creates her own auto-tune. She doesn't need electronic auto-tune. She IS her own auto-tune. And the effect when you hear her is totally mind-blowing. It's like she's singing right through you, like a sword straight into your soul. Literally NOBODY else on the planet has a voice like hers. She's not one in a million, she's one in eight billion. Having watched well over 100 initial reactions to her, only one did NOT say she was "unique".

She is a true Polyphonic Dramatic Contralto, she has the deepest darkest most powerful female voice but she also has a huge range. What you heard in this video is nothing, she can go way lower, way higher and way way more complex than this, she can do things with her voice you have never heard before. She is most definitely one of if not the female voice currently on the planet. In the video you just watched she was 15 years old and she is 20 years old currently she keeps mind blowing people off with every song.

Diana is firmly in the top ranks of the world's vocal arts ..... with her style. And I would call it "Harpoon Ankudinova"... With this "harpoon" Diana impresses almost everyone from the first seconds ... and attracts the listener, up to the last second of the performance ... And the spectator has only to "helplessly" allow her to pull herself out of the zone of the already familiar world vocal - into the zone of her element ... into the zone of Diana's musical tornado ...! And this "harpoon" is able to carry not only a man, but also a whale into Diana's element ...!!

Greetings from Scotland! How satisfying is it when you absolutely know that you have finally found the most unique female singer in the world! Welcome to the world of Diana Ankudinova - one day she will be the toast of all singers in the world! This young lady requires an introduction - Diana is 20yo currently but I've been following her career since she was around 13yo. Diana is a natural Dramatic Contralto so the lower registers are her comfort zone but she has increased her range even more since this. She also naturally sings with polyphonic overtones so it sounds like many voices at the same time! Any song, any genre, in any language, Diana can sing it and improve it! You need a little back story to understand what helped "create" this unique phenomenon:- Diana's birthmother had multiple miscarriages but when Diana came along, she seemed to hate her. She verbally and physically abused her, trying to drown her and belittle her. It all culminated when (at 3yo) a passing relative found her in her home with a broken collarbone and several other injuries. She went for the authorities who removed Diana from her birthmothers care and placed her in an orphanage. For almost 2 years Diana never gave up hope and she knew that she was meant for something better. (This story is in her Wikipedia entry) Finally her new mother (Irina Ponik, who worked as a masseuse there occasionally) Signed her adoption papers and took her home. She vowed to pay Irina back for her kindness. Irina had a real struggle because Diana had obviously been badly affected by the experiences and at 5yo, she had a very bad stammer. It was recommended that she be taken for singing lessons to help this and immediately it was recognised that Diana had perfect pitch and an excellent ear for music and songs. 1 year later, at 6yo, Diana was performing solo on stage! This young unique phenomenon sang everywhere and anywhere she could, working constantly to earn money for the family who rescued her. At 13yo she held her 1st solo concert and one of the songs she sang was in a very rare Sephardic Jewish/Spanish dialect, a song called "Me Voy" (I'm leaving) with a power and emotional commitment that staggers belief! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2rClGichdekpNE She was already winning every contest in Russia and other countries that she could get to. Then at 14yo Diana took part in an amazing Russian project "You're Super!" for abandoned/disadvantaged children (because Diana spent time in an orphanage) The 1st song she performed shocked the judges and audience so much, it went viral. February 10, 2018 "Dernière Danse" in French (NOT THIS PERFORMANCE here) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqexeot4n8Z3rqs Diana has already sung in *8 languages, Russian, English, French, Spanish, German, Ukrainian, Tatar and Arabic!!!* The rest, as they say, is now history!.............

Just having someone from Scotland comment is a positive surprise in itself. Great to have you as a guest. :) I've never been, but I have heard and read so much about your country that I envy you a bit simply for being able to look at some of the landscapes. I'm also partial to the Scottish accents (yes, I know there's more than one). You speak like you're singing. Thank you for sharing more about Diana! Her story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Like many stories, something really harrowing from one's past can unlock a hidden potential and allow the person to soar. It seems that she was in a way lucky - someone did give her love and she found her calling. I do hope her singing brings happiness to her as she does to those who hear her sing.

Yeah, a couple of languages have that, like Italian and even French. However, within the English-speaking world I think it's the Scottish, Irish and Welsh accents. Each in its own way.

I'll note all the suggestions you've listed and will sure try to get them. 😊

She was 15 years old here, shortly after she won the "You're Super" talent show for orphaned children when she was 14 years old. Dernier Danse was one of the four songs she sang during that contest. Her voice is described as polyphonic dramatic contralto. The people have titled her as The Queen of Goosebumps. Diana had a difficult childhood. Her birth mother abused her and tried to drown her and then abandoned her at three years old. She spent about 1.5 years in an orphanage. Diana’s story on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Ankudinova Diana’s CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE (English) at age 18, with judge’s comments with English subtitles. Buckle your seatbelt to hear her and then turn on the CC to hear the judges’ comments. This was the final performance of the night of the first show of a 9 week singing show with 9 singers performing each week and also judging each other. Diana was voted the winner on this first night and was voted the winner of the 9 week show. She was 18 years old at the time, 20 now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g17dn3dshrCVqMk Diana's CROW (Russian) on the same ShowMaskGoOn program at age 18, visually and vocally stunning. Rumor has it that the original artist has forbidden Diana from singing it again because Diana’s performance was so spectacular. A filter over the video or some transparency is usually required to avoid having it blocked. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3K3aIaQeal7pZo Diana's WICKED GAME (English) at age 15, Yes, that's all her voice: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZu1pGOAmJeBlcUsi=saONvSQqxxG-9Dq4 Diana's HUMAN (English) at age 15. She has trained her larynx to do anything she wants it to do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZjck5uYgdF0mNUsi=tLHF8gwkbw9jGonH Diana’s Dernière Danse (Last Dance, French) a different performance at age 15, subtitles available: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpbShGaBrJllqaM Diana's RECHENKA (River, Russian) at age 14, astonishing stage presence and emotion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5rGZaaPaMmmnZYsi=I3vPy3VUTl3tenBu Diana’s “Non Je Ne Regrette Rien”(No I Regret Nothing, French) + "Jodel Time" at age 13 when she was invited to perform at the Moscow karaoke championship. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn-maqBvmcimn5Y Diana's OH DARLING (Beatles song, English) at age 10. Just a glimpse of what's to come. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eF7ToZWahd2iiaM Diana's IT'S A WONDERFUL WORLD (Louis Armstrong cover, English) at age 18.
