VOCAL COACH REACTS | First Time Listen.... Diana Ankudinova Диана Анкудинова… Wicked Game.

[@jgp7591]

I really enjoyed your critique. You are so lovely.

[@rubygt2055]

“The river” and “Human” are both incredible songs by Diana.

[@hairychris444]

The River is crazy...

[@jamescurfman3284]

The RIver, which is also called Rechenka. I cannot write in Russian, so I cannot spell it the way it sounds to a Russian speaker. Google gets it though. That performance of hers will show you that transition you are looking for. :)

[@YuliyaDavtyan]

James Curfman River is Река or Реченька in Russian.

[@j.d.2779]

I totally agree but "Rechenka" is a totally magic performance, in my opinion, her best ever !

[@elliottbishop5303]

The river is crazy good..both the vocals and the emotional connection she has to the lyrics.

[@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl]

"Rechenka" and "Darnier dans" would reflect her singing skills better.

[@hakatenele1075]

Hello Andreas, I don't think that just this two songs are enough to demonstrate Diana's vocal skills. She is very versatile. She can sing many different songs and genres. She works hard at her vocal. And in particular, she has improved her upper register in the past few months by working with a top vocal coach (check her recent uploads of "Take On Me" kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYashqqHo654lZY and "Havana" kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4OzqqqnqqtpqqM ). All the best and greetings from Germany.

[@ОляЛитвинкович-ъ5ы]

River!!!! Diana Ankudinova!!!!!!!!! Super!!!!!!!!

[@alfogel3298]

Diana Ankudinova possesses the most unique mesmerizing memorable amazing atavistic tribunal primordial shaman goddess voice in the world -any age. At age 14 her incredible and legendary performance of an old ritual wedding folk song titled “ rechenka” ( River in English) Is -to this day-considered by many professional vocalists and coaches as the most unique and mesmerizing live performance by a vocalist -any age , in the history of Russian talent shows-adult or kids!! And along with “ Human” ( low notes even lower than wicked game; yes, she’s a rare contralto ) and “ Wicked Game” contributed to her winning not only the kids contest for 2 consecutive years but catapulted her to international stardom. with millions of avid followers worldwide. And you might want to read a little about her tragic younger years as an orphan abandoned and tossed into a garbage can unable speak for years after she was up for adoption by her birth mother at age 3. 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 the best yodeling performance in the history of videos showcasing yodeling, but in this performance it wasn’t just her amazing yodeling but also her body movement and stage presence and incredible as this might sound ( and I’ll shortly explain the reason why) but NOT ONE CHAIR TURNED!!!! After the song was finished and the judges turned around , the audience interrupted what they were saying by giving Diana a 5 minute STANDING OVATION. After the applause, the judges had her perform a segment of a French song made famous by Edith Pief and after she sang it , the lady judge covered her face with both hands in utter shock , disbelief and SHAME. The judges said they didn’t press their buttons because they couldn’t teach her anything. She was beyond their level already. But this turned out to be a BLATANT LIE and one of the worse scandals in Russian talent contest history. Because the following day it was revealed that the contest was “ fixed” the winner was “bought” before the show started. A total travesty of justice and revealing how corrupt this Russian kids show was at the time. And the following days over 80 million who watched the contest when posted on KZbin spit on the judges. But she got her revenge the following year and year thereafter by winning not only the Russian contests in two consecutive years but 60 more awards and contests. Please ( when you get the chance) I BEG of you to at least privately react by YouTubing “ Diana Ankudinova yodeling”. And you’ll witness a yodeling masterpiece and if you stay to near the end of the judges commentary ( making excuses and lying) you will hear a brief portion of the French song the judges asked her to sing that she NAILED! And there is a video of her outside a mall at age 11 singing this same French song but the complete version and she KILLED IT!!!! And when you’re convinced that she’s one of the best female vocalist in the world ( like millions of others including myself) you may want to react to a couple of her newer songs: ( she just turned 17 the other day) like “by your voice”. I promise you if you continue to publicly react to Diana ( “Rechenka,” “Human” , “Wicked Game”, “Yodeling”...your subscriber base will go through the roof!!!! She’s now almost as popular as the great male pop-op vocalist Dimash. And has her own Facebook fan club. And rumor has Diana and Dimash will perform together in concert one day and when it happens I can assure you when the upcoming concert is announced, it will be SOLD OUT in less than an hour. And if I could, I would mortgage my house my kids ( just kiddin) my everything to watch them perform together in concert. I have the perfect tag line : The DI [ana] & Di [mash] Extravaganza!

[@altglaubiger8850]

Stop the hysterics. The scandal described by you on The Voice Kids occurred in 2019. The results were revised almost immediately - you should have said so. Diana did not participate in this competition. She participated in The Voice Kids only in 2017. Material lernen und zai gesund!

[@atheroot]

There weren't any scandals on the Voice kids in 2017. You are exaderating!!! And where have you read it at all???

@@vlada613 Дайте ссылку, где Димаш говорит о своем отношении к голосу Дианы. Потому что я уверена, что она существует только в вашем воспаленном мозгу и мы её никогда не увидим. Вы прямо как близнецы с al fogel

[@кружево]

Несколько ошибок. 1. Диана выиграла много детских конкурсов, задолго до "Голос - дети". В интервью она говорила, что когда жила на Дальнем востоке, ее просили не участвовать в конкурсах, потому что тогда не получалось соревнования. Её прекрасно знали во Владивостоке, и если она участвовала, то победителя знали с начала конкурса. 2. Не говорите про "купленных" судей как про факт. Ничего не было доказано, потому что никто не жаловался и не расследовал. Вы путаете с другим скандалом. Судьи и передача получили свою порцию народного гнева. Есть ещё несколько неточностей. Вообще, любовь к артисту - это хорошо. Хотелось бы, чтобы вы говорили о ней только правду. Это несложно, надо просто это делать. Разделять факты и своё мнение, эмоции, надежды и так далее. Several errors. 1. Diana won many children's competitions, long before "Voice-children". In an interview, she said that when she lived in the far East, she was asked not to participate in competitions, because then there was no competition. She was well known in Vladivostok, and if she participated, the winner was known from the beginning of the competition. 2. Don't talk about "bought" judges as a fact. Nothing was proven because no one has complained about and not investigated. You are confusing it with another scandal. The judges and the broadcast received their share of popular anger. There are a few more inaccuracies. In General, love for an artist is good. I would like you to tell the truth about her. It's not difficult, you just have to do it. Speak separately about the facts and about your opinion, emotions, hopes, and so on.

[@hakatenele1075]

Hello Julia, wonderful reaction to DIANA ANKUDINOVA for the first time. Diana and GRACE VANDERWAAL are by far my two favorite artists. Both are special in different ways. I've probably seen a lot more than a thousand reactions to Diana, and many of the reactors were shocked the first time because of her unique voice. You did it very cool and analytical. Of course it's your job. Although I have seen hundreds of reactions to "Wicked Game", you have described her voice in words and mentioned things in a way that no other reactor has done. You are really good. Outstanding. But for me Diana is not just the voice, she is the total package: unique voice paired with a great stage presence. Born to be on the stage, to sing and to perform. And nice to look at. Most of the reactions are to the videos from the show "You are Super" and for good reason. Every performance of Diana there and the total production of the songs are excellent. But I would recommend you to react to a small rendition of Diana at the age of 13: "Diana Ankudinova - "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" and "Jodel-Time" (Moscow Karaoke Cup)" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2i4qn6fma6Ar9k ) . You can hear her "normal natural singing voice" and her special ability to "yodel". I look forward to further reactions to Diana. All the best and greetings from Germany.

[@АлексейМахалов-э1е]

Diana doesn't just sing, she creats the worlds! She has a normal voice for a girl. But she can sing rare female contralto, using yodeling , growl, etc. Thanks a lot for your interesting, honest and professional analysis! Go on, please and you won't be disappointed! Like! Subscription!

[@jimkelly4573]

Hello Austrailia! Let me help you! Diana is a natural contralto and, has been performing publicly since she was five, hence she is a stage animal. She is now 17 but, when she performed "Wicked Game" she was fifteen. She was born on May 31, 2003 in Arsenyev, Russia which, is near the Pacific Ocean, the border with China & the border with Inner Mongolia. Relatives found her in the street in the middle of winter with a broken collar bone and, none of them wanted her because they thought she was mentally deficient. They sent her to a Russian Orphanage at the age of 3 and she was adopted out at the age of 5 by a Russian Foster Mother named Irene. Because her language skills were very poor, her foster mother sent her to a voice coach and they discovered she loved music and could sing. In the 12 years she was adopted she has been singing publicly, taking singing lessons, learned to yodel, sings in four different languages and has blossomed into a beautiful talented teenager.

Julia, you are so right! She talked about it after this performance. She had have the problem with her voice. They went to the doctor, he said her glands were swollen, or it was some tear in her throat?! Buy now I forgot what it was exactly. Her doctor gave her some special diet and she to her fans: "Don't worry! I am alright!" And I saw later her voice was stronger [how stronger it could be in Diana's throat?!], maybe, it is a wrong word, but it got a different, richer qualities, in terms of depth and the higher notes. You should listen to her resent performance. You would be surprised even more. Listen to her "Rechen'ka" from 2 years ago and now, she did it ...just a cappella: You would see clearer the progression of the development of her voice qualities. It is just example. I was trilled with her cover "Havana", and her song of Delilah in Arabic "Halvah".

[@jamescurfman3284]

I am fairly certain that by now, somebody would have mentioned part of Diana's past to you. I think part of her unique sound comes from her learning to speak very late, needing a vocal coach to help her begin speaking at age five. The reasons for that are horrible of course, but I think maybe that is part of what you were talking about as far as somebody being ill or having something in their throat, where Diana's tongue placement seems off. If you have not reacted yet to her cover of Camila Cabello's song Havana, give that a listen. There are parts of that performance which makes it seem like Diana is deaf (I don't mean the part where she cannot hear the music and messes up; I mean that sound that she produces). You know how deaf people who do learn to speak have that certain 'twang' in their voice? It's like that for me; maybe it's just because I had heard some of her backstory. :)

I will give you best version links (you have to be careful which versions you select or you will hear from Diana's army of fans:-): "Rechenka" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWanqKJqhrt_p9U & Derniere Danse" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqjOeaVsfduhq80

Diana Ankudinova "Blizzard" (You Are Super)

'Snowstorm' is better translation of the name of that song - in Russian 'V'yuga' means 'snow whirlwind'. - says so the Philologist.

You might want to check out her personal history and culture. I’ll say IMO she’s applying a very cultural (ethnic) approach to songs. She’s from Eastern Russia, way past Mongolia and close to the border with China. She had a particularly difficult time to age 5. You can read it. She was in an interview and said that stuff like the Issacs song were a break for her from some of the more emotionally draining songs she does. RECHENKA, Dernier Danse, Blizzard to think of 3. She is way better than you think she is, and just because she’s 14 when she did that it doesn’t warrant ‘a little performer’. (Condescending) I think with her you have to drop her performances into a background of her culture rather than expect her to come out of it. She won ‘you are super’ the talent show she was in - obviously. It’s a competition for kids that were orphaned at some time. If memory serves one of the execs picked up the tab for all her living expenses so she could go to a singing school in Moscow for several years, and another got her in because she was way too young. Anyhow... if you feel like it look up her history, maybe you’ll revise the ‘she’s just a kid’ tone. Oh.. i forgot...jeez before you react to anything of hers like the 3 I mentioned or Wave or Cranes! Please get the lyrics so you understand... seriously, it’s important.

"Take on Me" by Diana is done in her home with her equipment during quarantine. You will see her style and voice with no electronic manipulation. She is a master at her current age of 17.

First time I heard Diana, I thought of the famous French singer Edith Piaf with her low voice. One of my favorites was her performance of "Non, je ne regrette rien" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKvcY6qQiMxokK8 ). Later I actually found a video of Diana singing the same song when she was 14 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sISokHupgdahqrc - if you listen to both you can hear the similarities in their voices and I think Diana is actually a little bit better (Edith was much older in this video). I'm also amazed at her command of the different languages that she sings in, her English is very good, her french is very good and she really seems to understands what's she's singing and not just learning the words.
