Jane Zhang! Diva Dance, Fifth Element

Full admiration to ANYONE attempting this aria. She was wonderful.

[@bertramusb8162]

Yeah, this pretty much says it all. I think this video is a good demonstration of exactly how impossible this aria was designed to be.

Made to be "unsingable " by a human voice for the "Fith Element" My wife and I were dumbstruck when this happened in the film and now once again beautiful....

[@oceangrownkae]

Well rightly so… as they ran that woman in the Fifth Element’s voice through a mixer in order to reach as high as it did. I would prefer a technical answer to yours on whether or not this woman hit the actual notes…. Although I am now at the HIGHEST point in this video & beginning to rethink my comment 🤩

[@shagrat47]

@@oceangrownkae Not a 100% replication (as the original was doing some Autotune magic a human indeed cannot replicate), but incredibly close and she mastered (!) some of the parts with fast changing pitches sooo beautiful. Incredible voice, fantastic Interpretation and just wow on so many levels. 😍

[@gofreely]

You should ch check out Dimash singing it. He will blow your mind!

[@arin7981]

Look at Dimash.....this is nothing

[@shagrat47]

@@arin7981 Dimash's interpretation is nice, as well, but mostly because he excels at the high notes. He transposed the low key parts to fit his voice. What is amazing in both Interpretations is, how much of the studio effect tricks they manage to replicate with a normal human voice. As someone stated before, Eric Serra intentionally used tuning and pitch shifting effects to make it "in-human". To get this close to the fast and wide pitch shifts created with studio effects in post processing is an incredible achievement from both singers.

[@deeejmx]

In the movie they autotuned some of the unaturally high parts, but to hear someone naturally get close af is simply amazing!

[@connyfere1384]

The difficulty of this song is not in the high parts, every well educated sopera singer (sopranists) can do this, but in the speed notes are switching. But you´re right, this is amazing! In 1997, where this film was made, people thought, this song would not be singingable of a human. But an alien could. As we know now, a human singer is able to sing this (as we can hear here as well, and I´m sure Inva Mulah-Tschako, the original singer, also could), even if there are no technique issue used, assumed to a well-trained voice.

[@michaelvandecoevering6635]

It took vocal cords trained for pop music, Opera, and traditional Chinese songs blended together for Jane Zhang to perform a song that when created was labelled as impossible for humans to perform without electronic help. She may be a pop singer but few people know that she trained in both Chinese and western opera styles and in Chinese minority traditional styles before becoming a Chinese pop Idol. All those diverse singing styles forged her vocal cords to a level that she could perform the aria from The Fifth Element perfectly. Many singers have destroyed their vocal cords and singing careers trying to sing this aria. Even the original singer damaged her vocal cords performing in the movie.

[@fransiskariberu]

Title?

[@ksliang6072]

Where did you read that the great Inva Mula damaged her vocal cords performing the aria? By all accounts Inva told the composer 'it was impossible to hit some of the notes in the song because a human voice couldn’t change so quickly between them.' That is why they spliced and edited the final part of the performance in the movie, and to also make it sound like an alien was singing. Jane is extremely gifted but she doesn't quite sound like the original . IMO Inva is in a class of her own. Just youtube the original.

[@michaelvandecoevering6635]

@@ksliang6072 She mentioned the damage in an old interview where she also said that thankfully she was able to recover but there are other singers who damaged their vocal cords beyond repair because they were not experienced enough to know when to stop trying.

[@michelleg7]

ehhh I find that very hard to believe because this girl sang the song at a lower register so it wouldn't damage her voice.

[@gabak1292]

@@fransiskariberu The original Titel of this aria is "il dolce suono" from Lucia di Lammermoore. In the film The 5th Element, Inva Mula an albanian Operasinger performed it.

[@Nekrokaf]

It was just one singer, but yes, there were different tracks put together

[@MrMcCuinn]

It was one take. They didn't use multiple tracks. They actually cut up her original performance for the film. Close to half of it is missing. Even if it had been multiple takes/tracks, there isn't one song in popular music today that doesn't use compiling. Which is sometimes dozens of takes trimmed into one song. Sometimes one word will be several compiled sound files. That doesn't take away from the talent of a singer that can do it the way Meiwenna (sorry if that's misspelled) did it outside of a studio.

[@justinvachon3839]

It was all done by one singer but the notes had to be sung separately and then cut together because the notes change at such a speed it would be impossible for a human to do it any other way

[@walterF205]
