Diana--14 y.o!!! Super!!! Amazing!!!! Awesome!!!

[@vladkoroliov3726]

Hello from Russia! Isn't that great? Even without knowing the language, this performance of Diana causes goosebumps on the skin of any normal person, where he would not have been and in whatever country he lived!

[@MikeandGinger]

Some songs transcend language ❤️ - G

[@eTraxx]

From what I have read this song is about an orphan bride who goes to the river to speak to her deceased parents. In pagan Russia the river was the boundary between the living and the dead. She goes there for blessings from her parents. The dancers are river spirits. She is saying that she is to be married and has no one to bless her, that the house is full of guests and there are horses in the courtyard. The scary words she says are her mother speaking. It seems that during marriages sad songs would be sung to scare away evil spirits.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Water was the boundary with the world of the dead in northern European pre Cristian culture. Hence the bog mummies found in England, Denmark and Ireland.

[@eTraxx]

@@jonathanwetherell3609 We as people spend too much time thinking nationality .. in reality there were groups of tribes often with connected cultures. When the Romans left Britain there were groups of peoples who crossed the channel. We loosely use the term 'Anglo Saxon' .. when these people were Germanic tribes .. Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians and others who all spoke West German dialects. Their descendants speaking 'Anglo Saxon' would have been able to speak with Norwegians .. leastwise with hand gestures and such but there was a commonality of ancestral language and culture. Vikings held sway for centuries o ver parts of Russia, Belarus and the Ukraine. It is not surprising at all that there are many common elements in our present cultures.

[@peterhowells7309]

Good evening from Scotland! Diana in full Shamanic mode here. Basic description - A young girl goes to the river (border between life and death) to ask her dead parents for permission to marry (the spooky voice is her dead mum answering!) The mood changes and she calls to her friends to come to the celebration. It's usually performed at weddings and goes way back in folklore. At least that's as much as I can find out. I believe this performance at 14yo was an absolute masterpiece, damn, at any age it's a masterpiece!! :) Just loved your facial expressions and body language during this performance Ginger. Can you imagine how good a live performance from the front row must have been?? :) Diana is a phenomenon, I can't describe her as any less. Great reaction again Guys. May I recommend a bit of a change where you see another side to Diana (at 17yo) and react to a recent original release in Russian with full subtitles - "Into the Sky" here:- kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpevoqZtn695q6s Ginger, you'll get transported somewhere else listening/watching this I promise.

[@DianaRussia531]

A world class performance by a 14 year old girl. Diana is amazing. :) Rechenka (The River) by Vadim Malinovskiy Reka - is a Russian word for river. Rechka - not a very big river. This is a song foundation of an ancient Russian ritual song. The girl comes to the river to express her fears and sorrows as she has no parents to give her away or for advice. An orphan girl getting married, but she has neither a father nor a mother who could bless her for this marriage. And she goes to the riverbank to ask for blessings from her dead mother. For ancient slavs, the river is the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead. The River is the flow of time and life, giving birth, and can heal and purify body and soul. The River can also maintain and hold information. So the girl (having no parents) came there to tell everything, purify herself and begin a new life with her husband. The creepy voice is the voice of her dead Mother. A version with English subtitles if you are interested >>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/nminepmvf5Kdrq8

H i from France Great reaction! Now you what is a total perfomance, not only singing but also acting.... ;-) This song is from Russian traditionnal repertoire And you're right "Rechenka" is "Little river"! (a river is "reka") It talks about the plight of an orphan who gets married but has no parents to bless her. The voice from beyond the grave is that of his mother. This song takes on a special meaning when you know Diana's story .... Lyrics translation (not word to word but poetic) You are my river, my sweet river. You flow untroubled. Oh, you’re a baby. My baby. Why sit you all forlorn? Oh, my bridesmaids, my dearest, I have no reason to rejoice. Oh, I have no cause to smile. We have a yard filled with horses, and the guests… and the guests… and the guests fill our hall. Neither father nor mother have I. There is none to bless me… You are my river, my sweet river. You flow untroubled. (Translation by Darren Andrews) If you want to do other reactions about Diana maybe I can help you? This braodcast 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 this shows Diana is directing, arranging and preparing her performances herself. She's a real creator. In addition, her costumes are designed and sewn by her mother and grandmother since she was 5.

The singing of Diana is always magic, shamanism! Ancient as this russian ritual song of the orphan bride. Everything is in the house, but there is no mother and father. No one will bless the bride. Only the river-time flows and stands at the same time. You are a river, my river. You flow, not splashing. You are a child, yes my child, You sit, but not smile. Oh, my girlfriends, yes, my lovely, Oh, Nothing pleases me. Oh, nothing smiled at me. Many horses in the yard, Many guests in our house. I have no father, mother, No one will bless me ... You are a river, my river. You flow, not splashing.

The song is from an old traditional folk tale about an orphaned girl who is supposed to marry someone she doesn't love, so she goes to the river (the border between the living and the dead) to talk to her mother and get her advice. The first part is her mother asking why she isn't happy, most of the rest is her explaining her sad situation. In the end she decides to let the river-spirits carry her away. It's haunting and melancholy, and also beautiful and moving! And she delivered this *powerful* performance at the age of *only 14 years old!* Stunning and amazing! Two other performances by her that you definitely should check out ... "Only Human" ... talk about a shamanic & tribal performance! *Wow!* And "Puttin' On The Ritz" ... she manages to make this 90-year-old song almost sound current! And as an added treat (beyond just a beautiful singing performance!), you get to watch her *tap-dance!* (And quite well too!) *Enjoy!*

[@gregwormald8400]

As far as the emotional impact of Diana and her putting the audience into trance-Diana says that she much prefers to sing songs that have serious meaning rather than just good sound, and to do so she goes into a trance herself before starting to sing. When the judges hit their buttons she said she did not even notice! Have a listen/look at "Finicky (Fastidious) Horses", the song of a dying man who hasn't finished his desired tasks, and notice the tears in her eyes at the finale. She was told by all concerned that she was not grown up enough to sing it. Ha! The desperation of dying too soon is palpable. I've been a music aficionado for well over 60 years and I'll bet I've listened to Diana more than any other musician in my collection (now over 4000 albums)! I never tire of listening to her perform. Что касается эмоционального воздействия Дианы и ее перевода аудитории в транс, то Диана говорит, что она предпочитает петь песни, имеющие серьезное значение, а не просто хороший звук, и для этого она сама входит в транс перед тем, как начать петь. Когда судьи нажимали на кнопки, она сказала, что даже не заметила! Послушайте/посмотрите на Финиковых/Скромных Лошадей", песню умирающего человека, который не выполнил желаемого задания, и заметьте слезы на ее глазах во время финала. Все обеспокоенные сказали ей, что она недостаточно выросла, чтобы петь ее. Ха! Отчаяние умирающего слишком рано осязаемо. Я увлекаюсь музыкой уже более 60 лет, и готов поспорить, что слушал Диану больше, чем любого другого музыканта из моей коллекции (сейчас это более 4000 альбомов)! Я никогда не устаю слушать ее выступления.

Good Morning from Poland !!! About the song "Rechenka": This is an old ritual song about an orphan bride. The girl has no parents. The river was considered the boundary between the world of the living and the dead. She goes to the river and asks for the blessing of marriage. She says that there are many people at home, but there is no father and mother. You hear Diana singing in a whisper. These are the words of the deceased mother of the bride. Then the girl is crying. In Russia, at weddings they sang sad songs to scare away evil and the marriage of a young couple was to be happy. Such songs were called “weeping.” The figures behind Diana are spirits of water and forest...

I have never experienced a performer like her. She creates, almost sculpts a new reality with her voice and artistry. She is a wonder.

[@ardalla535]

The song really reminds me of "She Moves Through the Fair." It is, however, MUCH older. Apparently, the original dates from somewhere around the 13th century and has long been lost. There are many versions about. It definitely adds to this listening if you have access to a translation, and there are a few out there, some even direct translations of the version Diana is singing. So much more could be said about this. Diana is an orphan; and this song is about an orphan girl. Diana's life is quite a story in itself. From her birth in a small town near Vladivostok to where she is living now, in Moscow -- it has been a long road for her. She's such an inspiration. She almost didn't make it. At three years old she was left by her mother in the cold with a broken collar bone and was rescued from a bus stop, freezing to death, by the woman you see here who adopted her. I have heard that her mother is trying to find her to demand money, but Diana has lots of friends and supporters and she is being protected.

Her cover of Rag'n'Bone Man "Human" on the other hand is done in her natural low tone. She says there is no stress on her vocals and can sing it over and over. She says Human also has great meaning to her.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3zKdWlsa8uFqrs ... If you haven't heard Rag'n'Bone Man's original. I recommend listening to it first.

Yes, please! The original AND Diana's cover are both AMAZING! :)

[@Dave-jo1hf]

@farEvil Dee That's what I said. "This song". and yes, she will do it IF, and she said IF they make her do it.

[@Dave-jo1hf]

@farEvil Dee No problemo. I'll edit it to specify Rechenka.

14 years old - hooked me 4 years ago and still my favorite of hers -- slavic story telling theater -- good as it gets -- she built on her vocals but this is brilliant --

Реченька -- River. ДИАНА великолепно на высоком Артистическом и вокальном уровне исполняет эту драматическую композицию о девушке-сироте, которую хотят выдать замуж за нелюбимого человека. В трудной ситуации девушка идёт к реке.

If you like Diana and primal/ethnic music. I would suggest you listen to this young lady sing By/With Your Voice. It's also a more recent performance.

Thank you for your frank and cordial reaction. Sincerely from Russia.

She is 14 here. She sings Can't Help Falling in Love when she is 18. Most of us fans consider her a true polyphonic contralto, {rare}, with amazing range and control. As she matures, I hope she will transition into a full dramatic contralto, {very rare}. This is a Russian folk song. She is performing as "The Orphan Bride" who is lamenting the fact that she has no parents to bless her marriage. Rechenka, "The River" is the border between the living and the dead. She is in a boat at the end, does she cross over?
