It’s a Russian competition for orphaned children. Her backstory is fucking heartbreaking. Not only is she an utterly unique singer, she’s a tough, resilient young woman.

[@YBPlaysMusic]

Oh really? That’s so nice!

[@alexkhan638]

This is Russian show by the name “you are super.” Diana is 15 years old on this video.

[@YBPlaysMusic]

What? Damn that’s incredible! How much potential she must have to be that good at that young age!

[@Sargsman]

Hello! Your mind will blow when you heard her Russian songs "Реченька - River", "Вьюга - Blizzard", I deeply recommend you, it's SOMETHING!

Diana Ankudinova was born on May 31, 2003 in Russia. She participated in the Russian TV project "You are super!" in 2018 with the songs "Derniere danse" (French) 100,000,000 views, "It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” (English), “The River” (Russian), “Tomorrow Is A Lie” (English) and won. In 2019, she repeated the success, won the Grand Prix on the TV show "You are super! Superseason." with the songs "Blizzard" (Russian), "Wicked Game" (English), "Human" (English). Recordings of Diana's performances on the show "You are super!" posted on KZbin (copyright of the NTV channel). In the TV project "You are super!" children from 8 to 18 years of age, deprived of parental care and inmates of orphanages participate. The project producers help the finalists with their studies and creative careers. Diana has a unique voice - "contralto", the lowest female voice (F3-F5). It is very rare for girls. Diana's working range of voice is two tones lower and four tones higher than that of the contralto (D3-D6), the tenor is mezzo-soprano. Diana's rich set of techniques, emotional presentation, velvety timbre and attractive appearance make her stand out among the vocalists on the stage. Diana continues her career as a pop singer, gives concerts in Russian cities, studies at the State Institute of Theater Arts. Diana Ankudinova has an official Internet channel on KZbin (700,000 subscribers, 103,500,000 views). It contains recordings of performances from 2008 to 2021. I recommend visiting this channel.

[@YBPlaysMusic]

Thx for all the info Viktor. I'll definitely check out more from her in future videos! I'll check out her channel for sure!

[@fozjustfoz2896]

fourth (Igor Krutoy) just waited for a pause

[@vahauser51]

Igor loves Diana. The reason he didn't press the button was because he was waiting for a break in the music. He plays piano for her in Tomorrow is a Lie. I grew up in the 1960s. I've heard hundreds of world class musicians over the decades. I haven't been this amazed by a musical artist since I first heard Jimi Hendrix in 1967. Diana shakes my soul! Some other great songs by Diana: 1) Rechenka, 2) Tomorrow is a Lie, 3) Blizzard, 4) Derniere Danse, 5) Human

[@YBPlaysMusic]

Thx for the suggestions! And yeah I'm sure he loves her. If he wouldn't have buzzed that would have been pretty strange, I think :p Well, there is so much variety in artists, but a lot of them are not as famous as they should be. Clearly, Diana has a big and great fanbase, but still, the majority of people probably don't know her, I think, though she'd deserve it.

[@nicowest3249]

@@YBPlaysMusic We are working on it Bro. It is people like you that help Diana become known. Never a voice in this world is like Diana... that is not the best attribute about Diana... it is How She makes one feel. Thank you for giving the time and space on your channel to Diana. Love & Peace

[@danalawrence4473]

This is the case. This is one of the greatest vocal performances I have ever seen. Beyond Annie Haslam, or even Kate Bush. Wow!

[@user-jk9hw1wu5u]

As one of the bloggers reacting to Diana noted, she does not envy those who competed with her, there was no alternative.

[@YBPlaysMusic]

Yeah, no reason indeed to envy them, a lot of competitors have their own strengths and uniqueness, but I assume she stands out compared to the rest :p

[@YBPlaysMusic]

Thx for the suggestions Olga!

[@ReynaldReims]

Hi from France Great reaction! Your astonishment is not exceptional! Diana uses many vocal techniques rarely used in pop music (like overtones, yodel, and some from classical singing....). The one that seems to amaze people the most is polyphonic voice. The root notes are enriched with powerful harmonics which can give the impression that there are several overlapping voices or an artificial effect which gives this result. This technique is used in Slavic folk music, like Bulgarian vocal groups or artists like Pelageya (kzbin.infovideos), the Russian folk diva. I cannot tell you exactly how these artists achieve this result, I was just told that it is linked to the simultaneous use of the different resonators of the human body and that such a mastery of the voice and of the breath with such a fluidity requires years of work, Diana has been singing on stage and has been taking singing and performing arts lessons since the age of 6! This broadcast is "You're Great!" ("You are Super"), a song contest reserved for children who have had a difficult start in life. This is the case of Diana who was mistreated and ended up in an orphanage at 3 years old. In her shows, Diana participates in the direction, direction and arrangements of her performances. She is a complete artist. In addition, her costumes were often designed and sewn by her mother and grandmother since she was 5. I enclose a biography and some links for the next reactions. ;-D Two biographies of Diana (Dee-a-na) facebook.com/groups/DianaAnkudinovaFrance/permalink/767455643823701/ facebook.com/groups/DianaAnkudinovaFrance/permalink/701287307107202 Diana's KZbin Official Channels (with many video with English subtitles): KZbin Official ✅ kzbin.info/door/gbtr4QB6kk7WadvVoYk61g KZbin Life ✅ kzbin.info/door/iUgh7-F7KU2U3HpkCPJyjA KZbin Junior ✅ kzbin.info/door/TazqyQEUix0rPijtLJqFmQ KZbin Fan ✅ kzbin.info/door/1RL1dXoJCdTaIYykfxivzQ ᗫίαηα ANKUDINOVA' performances on TV Song contests (with EngSub): 2017-02-17 Audition TV Show "Voice.Kids 4" - Jodel-time yadi.sk/i/_m0bPq1PzvJSRQ yadi.sk/i/AVdxYlCRztm3Uw Review of Hellscream Academy yadi.sk/i/UveC_gKglPiPgQ 2018-02-10 Audition TV Show "You are Super 2" - Derniere Danse yadi.sk/i/27ZW9sJ4O4TfmQ 2018-04-14 Second Round - It’s a Man’s World yadi.sk/i/cKiEvHu1bC7ROQ 2018-05-12 SemiFinal - Реченька (My Sweet River) yadi.sk/i/NARYjiHDhmy_VQ 2018-05-26 Final - Tomorrow Is A Lie yadi.sk/d/O9FX9FX82FYatQ 2019-04-21 Audition TV Show "You are Super 3" - Вьюга (Snowstorm) yadi.sk/i/zm57Dyomej6arg 2019-05-12 SemiFinal - Wicked Game yadi.sk/d/mXtpveoF43vE7g 2019-05-26 Final - Human yadi.sk/i/x-7mAOYv60T8oA With the best regards of Fans de Diana Ankudinova (France) - facebook.com/groups/DianaAnkudinovaFrance/ My personnal playlist (more than 80 performances of Diana): kzbin.info/aero/PLhVBmobu-XO_2StQF6Jq67eX-3SzsRpGU

Thx for all the info Reynald, very interesting! And thx for the suggestions! It's amazing that she's been performing from such a young age!

[@pamelacrawford4496]

Great reaction! She actually says at the end, "No one can save me but you," not "No one can save me with you." Her voice sounds a lot like Cher's lower register, if you've ever listened much to Cher. You will hear the resemblance. This won't be your last Diana reaction vid, guaranteed. It's just the beginning.....so much to her.

[@YBPlaysMusic]

I believe just at the end of the video, I said “but you” but then in my analysis I said “with you” probably😛 and yes I love cher’s voice as well and I can see the resemblance, though I think it’s even more pronounced or noticeable in Diana’s voice😛 and indeed, it won’t be the last from her😜

Diana is a young but very experienced singer. By the time of this performance, she had already had about 10 years of stage practice and many awards for victories in Russian and international competitions. Check out, for example, her cover of "Oh Darling!" by Paul McCartney, performed at age 10: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKqpeqV8gc9_qJY As for the "unreadable" alphabet, yes, it was created, like the Latin alphabet, on the basis of the Greek, with the addition of some letters to denote sounds that are absent in the Greek language (hissing "sh", "zh" and some others). This alphabet (Cyrillic) is also used by Serbs, Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Belarusians and some non-Slavic peoples from the post-Soviet countries. The inscription on this alphabet in the upper right corner of the original video screen "Живой звук" means "Live sound". Thank you for your interest in our young talented beauty (tomorrow, May 31, she turns 18) and for an interesting reaction. Good luck.

[@YBPlaysMusic]

[@zezacatela2951]

This particular sound of her tone is due to her well trained larynx elasticity combined with her head bones that makes a very peculiar resonance. One singer that has that quite the "same" resonance is Cher... specially on those low notes. The last judge is Igor Krutoy. The famous multimillionaire pianist, composer and producer, that left he's retirement to work with Dimash Qudaibergen... Owns a vast repertoire of famous songs and compositions with famous singers in the world. One of the most exigent and prestigious song contests is the New Wave Festival now it will be in Sochi- Russia... also promoted by one of it's founders, Igor Krutoy. He has promoted some promising young singers, and of couse he's invited as a jury to many programs like this "kind of The Voice" competition.

[@YBPlaysMusic]

Thx for all the info, Zeza! And indeed, now that you mention it, Cher indeed has this similar resonance in her voice, though I think it's more pronounced here with Diana, or at least more noticeable :) I'll have to do a reaction to Dimash at some point as well, I think :p

[@Astronurd]

Cher has a pair of balls though.

Diana doesn't just sing, she creates worlds 🌎 🎶 Diana has a normal voice for a girl. But she can sing rare female contralto using different vocal techniques, such as yodeling, growl, deepening the throat, etc. Sure you'll enjoy reacting to our treasure Diana 💖 and we will enjoy watching your reactions! But don't react to Rechenka, it's dangerous 😁 or fasten the belts)) like 👍 subscription!

On the screen you can see the inscription - "Live sound". All participants sing only in live voices - this is a condition of the competition. Diana perfectly knows the technique of yodel, for her voice switching as easy as breathin She is a singer with incredibly velvet contralto, the range grows with her. She is 18 years old, she knows a lot about vocals, but how many discoveries in her talent await us all in the future! The voice will grow with her. Diana continues to learn and improve. Diana has a "black belt" in vocals! This is our Russian treasure - a musical diamond! At the vocal contest of the Russian NTV channel for children with a difficult fate “You are super!” Diana won at age 14. She sang a fragment of this song there. Two years later, the channel announced the super season of the competition. Diana participated in it for the second time and won the Grand Prix. Igor Krutoy is one of the jury members of this vocal competition. Igor gave Diana an apartment in Moscow after her first victory in this contest! He strongly supports Diana and the rest of the contest participants "You are super!"

[@birdan]

Great reaction! She was 15 when she sang Wicked Game. If you like stage presence and that tribal sound you should listen to Rechenka (The River) which she sang at 14. It is based on a Russian folksong about a young betrothed orphan girl who goes to the river, the boundary between the living and the dead, to ask her deceased mother's blessing for her marriage. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2HWnZx-qM94qJY Ironically, Diana herself was an orphan who was abused and abandoned by her alcoholic mother. Because of this beginning, her speech was very undeveloped and she was given singing lessons to help improve her speech. Her talent was quickly recognized and the rest is history.

Thx bruce! I will most likely do that one next indeed! Perhaps in a couple of weeks, I think :p Thx for the info and for the suggestion!

👉Diana's rendition of this song is unique and amazing. Here, in 2019 Diana sang this song in the singing competition 'You are super' (she was 15 years old). This competition is unique in the world, an international TV- competition: 'You are Super', especially for adopted and orphaned children. The musical project “You are super! can give to children who do not have a prosperous childhood, not only positive emotions, but also hope for changes in their fates. Eighty children from various countries can now take part, understanding that they have outstanding talents. Only the best of the best will be able to complete all the selections. Diana entered the competition in 2018 and 2019 and won twice. 2018 (3rd season) Diana sang 'Derniere danse' (French), 'It's a Man's Man's Man's World' (Engl.), 'The River' (Russ.), 'Tomorrow Is A Lie' (Engl.) and 2019 (super season) Diana won the Grand Prix with 'Blizzard' (Russ.), 'Wicked Game' (Engl.) and 'Human' (Engl.). The winner of the season will be determined by a 6-day public vote and the final took place in the Kremlin Palace and her videos were uploaded to KZbin and soon she had millions of fans. The project producers help the finalists start studying and encourage their creativity. Diana won a scholarship to the College of Music. Igor Krutoy, as a juror, gave her a small apartment in Moscow. So, she could start her vocal training with the best teachers such as Professor Olga Donskoy (She died of Covid-19 in Oct. 2020)... 2020 Diana graduated from high school a year earlier with honor, as an external student and now, she is a student at the Russian Institute of Theater Arts (Juilliard is similar to GITIS). 🌼🇩🇪 👉 Original: Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (Live) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4DNhaqbirWnabM🌼🇩🇪

Hi, Yuri, the last judge is famous composer Igor Krutoi. He had helped alot to Diana, very nice guy. He had retired but when met Dimash, he returned to his professional activities. I would advise react to Diana's Rechenka, Human, Into the skies, Take on me, There are more Diana's performances, all are chilling to me. Another point is all fans of Diana are fans of Dimash as well as vice versa. You should react to him as well. Traditionally first song to react to is SOS.

"How could you have not pushed..." It's called context - that you are unaware of the context of this performance or where it fell within the timeline of this show might lead you to believe there was something out of line with the judge's view of this performance. Just to put it into a little perspective of that time Diana spent on the show which spans two seasons of the show/competition - this was from the second season. Starting in the first season that Diana performed, she was seen four times including her audition before anyone of the judges were familiar with her - (See Derniere Danse and the blown away reaction of the judges, including the Igor, the guy you're asking "How could...". After the fourth performance (a song co-written by that same Igor), she won that season. The second season was a Champions' season in which Diana performed three times, where only two of the songs got judged - the last of those two was Wicked Game and I do believe that the button pushing by the judges were timed more to provide the least interruption to the performance rather than a critical reaction to her performance since again she won that competition - The GOAT of "You Are Super". The third song was not judged. In fact, Igor provided Diana an apartment in Moscow to further her career and helped her secure a secondary education in the arts. Should you need to fill in the blanks, and also provide some further context should you wish to pursue reacting to Diana, perhaps a cursory review of her wiki might be of assistance - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Ankudinova Should you wish to further your knowledge of how Diana pronounces her name, this short 30sec video will provide you with that assistance as she introduces herself to the audience (certainly the host didn't even try) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXa4pGpqaqprjJI Regards,

[@YBPlaysMusic]

Thx for all the info Bert! Yes I know, there are reasons for the timing of their buzzers, sometimes. And of course, this is my first and initial reaction, so that's why it was surprising :p Now that I know the context, I can definitely appreciate the decision to wait for the right moment to buzz :) And yes, thx for the links, it can indeed be helpful!

[@bertjones3010]

@@YBPlaysMusic Don't feel like you are alone. I've watched way too many of Diana's initial viewing by reactors, and most start with this one inasmuch as it's probably the most requested performance, the majority do no background review of her and thus have no way to have context of some aspects of the clip. Haha, that's the context for the reactor. It's interesting to note that it isn't the most viewed clip of her on this show though - her initial audition where she covers the French pop song "Derniere Danse' (Last Dance) has over 100M views while the full version done at a concert at the end of the season has 50M (myy recommended version to react to since the same copyright issues exist that "Wicked Game' had. The judges response is more like you'd think they'd react. Also most English speaking reactors recognize the title 'Wicked Game', whereas mostly Europeans are familiar with the French title. (It's a good song too, and I thoroughly enjoy Indila's acoustic version (kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5bLq6OGhN-Xnas if you want to familiarize yourself with the tune first). Course I must say at this point after a year of constant attention to Diana & reactions to her - I need to stop! I can, in my defense, only say that in doing so I can link her pronouncing her name which I think most reactors appreciate and share the link to her wiki, which was just recently added. Also, she has a couple of songs on streaming services, but the people responsible for making these listings insist on having trying to find them totally unrealistic for anyone who cannot read Cyrillic (God knows I've told them the need to change it from Диана Анкудинова to Diana Ankudinova since no-one outside of Russia (well most) don't have a Cyrillic keyboard). Regards,

@@bertjones3010 I am frustrated as well Bert. What the hell ! I don't know who is running the team but I am about to find out and hopefully get some changes made... It is like her people are totally ignorant of the English speaking populace?! However, There are many people, volunteer, trying to rectify this issue, as well as other issues. Money talks Bert; I have finally got "inside" (close enough anyway, for now). I will do all I can to straighten out what is Keeping Diana held back. Can You believe it has taken me almost 2 years to make any meaningful contact? WTF? Our efforts have and will Payoff Brother!

@@nicowest3249 Cassy Abrams, a vocalist and jazz bassist who often plays with PostModern Jukebox has this Instagram thing called Duet with Me. I've tried to find out how one can do that - where the video's are to do the duet - but that, in my mind, would be great exposure to a number of people, including Scott Bradlee. Just don't know that much how to reach out to him - including sending him an e-mail. Perhaps you might have some ideas.

Thx so much Mike! And I can definitely agree with what the suggestions described about her! Will do more from her for sure!

[@dartgil]

The judge in question is Igor Krutoy, a great Russian conductor, and the reason for taking so long to press the button is simple: He waited for the exact time so as not to disturb the artist's singing. What some youtubers who do reactions should learn, never stop the videos in the middle of a sentence from the singers. Here's the tip...😉

[@YBPlaysMusic]

Hi Gilson, first of all, thx for the tip ;) And I understand and appreciate the reason he waited to buzz :) I tried to pause at fitting moments but I was advised to pause every 20 - 30 seconds for copyright issues, so it wasn't easy to have every pause on a "good" moment :p

Cool reaction. Hi! You may be three years late, but it's better late than never.))) I suggest you evaluate the performances of Diana Ankudinova (Russia), the best young vocalist on the planet (IMHO). Recommendations for 2018-2019: 1. Cover of Indila - Derniere Danse (short version for TV show or full version for the final concert TV show) 2. Cover of James Brown - It's A Man's Man's Man's World 3. Cover of Алла Пугачева | Alla Pugacheva - Реченька | Rechenka (River) 4. Cover of Григорий Лепс | Gregory Leps - Вьюга | Viyuga (Blizzard) 5. Cover of Chris Isaak - Wicked Game 6. Cover of Rag'n'Bone Man - Human 7. Cover of Lara Faban - Undefeated love (Duet with Polina Bogusevich) 8. Original Music Video Падает снег | Padaet sneg (Snow Falls) 9. Since 2020, the creativity of Diana Ankudinova can be evaluated on her KZbin channel. P.S. Say the first syllable of her name as DEE, please. Thanks. P.P.S. Pronouncing the names of non-Anglo-Saxons is easy: you need to read the letters as they sound in Latin. Did you have basic Latin in school? If not, Google and Yandex in the help.

[@YBPlaysMusic]

Thx! Well, I can scrap number 5 of course now :p But thx for al the suggestions! And yeah haha I indeed saw that it's pronounced like that :p thx! Euhm well, no I didn't learn latin haha :p Indeed, google translate will be my friend I think haha :p

[@BUKCOLLECTOR]

Even more spectacular and EPIC was at age 14 performing Rechenka ( River) . A must next reaction. Diana has the most recognizable dramatic contralto voice in the world. There was a survey conducted by a ranking company ( I believe rank.com ) that ranked the best female pop singers of 2020 and Diana was ranked Number 1. Even ahead of Demi Lovato!!! Diana Ankudinova . who many coaches, professional vocalists, and Reactors around the globe consider in possession of the most unique mesmerizing memorable amazing atavistic tribunal primordial shaman goddess voice in the world -any age. If you react you will be amazed. An incredible and legendary performance of an old ritual wedding folk song Is -to this day-considered by many professional vocalists and coaches around the world as the most unique and mesmerizing live performance by a vocalist -any age , in the history of Russian talent shows. And along with “ Human” ( lowest possible female range she’s a rare dramatic contralto ) and “ Wicked Game” contributed to her winning not only the kids “ you are super” contest for orphans and adopted children 2 consecutive years but catapulted her to international fame with millions of avid followers worldwide. And Famous composer Igor has accompanied her on the piano on “ Tomorrow Is A Lie” ( 4:26 .. posted by HTB amazing performance) And you might want to read a little about her tragic younger years abused and beaten by her birth mother and put up for adoption at age 3. So yraumized she could hardly speak for to years but then at the orphanage she was adopted and given singing lessons at age 5 and the rest is history! You may want to continue your Ankudinova journey by reacting the year prior to “ rechenka” when she was 13! She entered her first kids contest in Russia where she sang a song that required masterful yodeling. It was a masterpiece, a tour de force, some say one of the best yodeling performances on any talent show but in this performance it was the controversial aftermath that prompted the audience to give her a 5 minute Standing Ovation and caused a scandal and shouts of Diana being “ robbed”. The following day when it appeared on you tube 50 million people spit on the judges and it was revealed that the contest was fixed and the winner already predetermined and caused a major scandal. And at 13 her rendition of “ Me Voy” in Spanish was emotionally impactful and when I suggested that my Spanish language friends watch they were shocked and couldn’t believe the perfect pronunciation and emotional feelings she conveyed. And the following year and year thereafter she won the 2 “ you are super” Russian contests. After reacting to Rechenka and Wicked Game and Human Please react to “ yodel time” And you’ll witness a yodeling masterpiece. And wait to you watch and hear her at age 13 or maybe 14 on a riverboat cruise ship giving an hour long performance highlighted with her amazing performance mostly in English of a 1920s cabaret song by the famous composer Irving Berlin called “ Puttin On The Ritz” . Not only does she kill it with her vocal electrifying expressions and dance moves but I will not spoil the SURPRISE that will knock you off your chair ( a 12 second teaser she gives the audience that the late great Fred Astaire would be smiling down on her from heaven. ). If Diana wanted to she could easily become a world class.... ( I won’t spoil the 12 seconds) Also when she won her “you are super” contest she performed a song written by Lara Fabian titled “ Tomorrow Is A Lie” accompanied on the piano by the famous composer Igor. She sings it in English and the meaning of this song is so spiritual “ only here and now... Tomorrow is a Lie ( all that exists is the next moment). If you continue to react to Diana, your subscriber base will quadruple!! All love from Al in isolation from Miami Beach, Florida. -Al

You have just listened to what may be a true contralto. “Diana Ankudinova, A Russian National Treasure”, I have been following her for awhile. She is another very interesting story that you will discover. Wait until you hear “Wicked Games” or "Human" or "Rechenka" Even though it is in Russian you still feel the emotion behind it. I've heard her sing in Russian, English, French, German, Arabic and Spanish so far. No matter what language it is beautiful. While I have your attention, I would like to suggest another young lady who is about the same age ang equally talented, Angelina Jordan. She won Norway's Got Talent at the ripe old age of 8. Last year she competed in America's Got Talent The Champions. She auditioned with her own version of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody that has everyone swooning. You really need to check her out! (Be prepared for a lot of subscribers ). I do talk about Diana to Angelina reactors.

Igor Krutoy (the last judge to 'vote') is a respected Russian composer, musician, arranger and mentor. I read that out of respect for the musician/singer he will wait for a break in the music so as not to distract the performer. Diana's interpretation of this song - fantastic... her voice, presentation, stage presence, arrangement - just phenomenal
