ROCK SINGER REACTS | Diana Ankudinova - Can't Help Falling In Love

This week's reaction comes courtesy of fantastic young singer Diana Ankudinova. She has a tonality that you don't often hear in the setting of contemporary music, so I really enjoyed listening to this take on one of Elvis' biggest songs.
Let me know what you guys think as I'd love to discuss her singing with you, and as always please let me know in the comments what other songs of hers you'd like me to check out. I'd love to hear about them.

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 seven billion. Everyone sings, but one of the judges is special. The one who most vividly appreciated Diana's voice. The one who was standing listening to the song. He is an opera singer who is considered one of the best voices in the world. His name is Yusuf Eyvazov. He is a dramatic tenor, the husband of the great opera star of our time, Anna Netrebko. Yusuf is welcome at all the best opera venues in the world, where the best of the best voices of the world sing, on such stages as the Mariinsky Theater, the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, the Vienna State Opera, the Bolshoi Theater, the Paris National Opera and others. Who, if not he, can appreciate the voice? And he, at the end of Diana's performance, was crying. It's worth a lot. This is worth more than the opinions of millions of reactors and judges. This episode's guest star Yusif Eyvazov said: "You know I'm struggling to articulate what I've felt. I've heard many music in my life, I sing along all over the world. I have seen a lot of concert halls and people, orchestra and musicians.... ....This girl got just an incredible talent hidden inside, and may God give that this talent gets into good hands, people who can do with it what she deserves in the future which Diana herself deserves."

Hi everyone, I am from Brazil, a week has passed since I first heard for the first time Diana’s voice, and as of right now, I’ve probably watched all her performances, 15 times or more each… not ashamed to admit, but reading thru comments, seems to me I am not the only one, YES, I’ve been bitten, bewitched, drugged…enchanted! I am not a singer or artist, just a regular dude, but I can honestly say I never experienced thru music what I am experiencing with Diana’s performances, it’s all pretty new to me and I love it. At this point I am just wishing she will be able to cope with all the talent she’s been given, and all the attention she’s going to receive from people all over the world, that she grows as a decent woman ( not what we have been seeing lately by other singers) which by the way, I think is not going to happen, by the decent way she dresses up and behaves… (thank you Diana’s mom for that), anyways, I really wish to be seeing more of Diana’s performances in the years to come, and be blessed with her voice and artistry.

Yeah I saw a few clips of her in a rawer setting before doing this reaction and her voice was right in that ballpark tonally. She sounds like that and it's awesome! Unique is definitely the right word, don't really know how else to describe the way she utilises some not so conventional sounds and techniques into something so musical. It's really cool to see.

[@bradon932]

😆😆😆😆 If you listen to her sing at her concerts, she is singing with polyphonics; she sounds exactly the same. Diana is a mystery to most, which is why people are attracted to her voice. There is post-production that is disappointing but there is nothing fake or added with Diana. She is her own auto-tune! The space she has anatomically let's her resonators create a distinct sound, it is not something that can be imitated (voice coaches have tried). You will understand and get it as you listen to her more 🙂 I have not read any comments yet...just ignore the really defensive people because people really like Diana and sometimes they tend to not understand, it is difficult to know what Diana is doing because they have not heard this kind of voice before. Peace & Love, Brother

[@Grays_Plays]

Cheers for commenting mate, I'm enjoying all the comments I'm getting so far. As for the defensive ones I'm finding it interesting how some of my Russian viewers seem to be picking up a condescending vibe from my video, and I'm wondering if that might be a language barrier or some sort of cultural difference because I'm not aware that I've said anything negative or along those kind of lines at all. Makes me wonder how my mannerisms might be coming across to non English speakers, but I don't take it personally. And yeah I'm really enjoying hearing Diana's voice, it makes me want to explore some darker sounds in my own singing. Even in rawer performing environments she still has that kind of sound and it's is pretty cool to see that it's not been embellished too much for TV. She has a unique voice for sure. Peace and love mate. Take care.

She writes her own songs. When I hear her sings..She conveys all feelings. One of reasons Why I love her singing it's cos covers feels like if were different songs.

I'm getting where that comparison is coming from. They must have some similar influences cause there are elements in their singing that seem reminiscent of each other in spite of how different their tone and styles are. I've read some of her backstory and it's tragic, and I'm sure we can see some of the impact of it in her performing as she is rather intense with how strongly she emotes while singing on stage for such a young girl. Will definitely give her channel a look, I'm sure there's lots of good stuff there. Cheers for watching my reaction to her.

[@Mikhail-Oplesnin]

Хладнокровный комментатор. Не стану его ни хвалить, ни укорять: кое-что интересное он сказал; всё-таки - профессионал (диапазон в три октавы; отличный контроль вокала и прочее). Но подобные видеоролики с шоу не стоит анализировать, как запись с конкурса Чайковского, где певцы выступают без микрофона на фоне одного и того же портрета великого композитора. Подобное представление предполагает, в первую очередь, эмоциональную реакцию и эстетическое восприятие. Если вас не впечатляет ни ни мощнейшая энергетика, ни эмоциональность, ни удивительные визуальные образы - значит, все творцы этого шоу работали впустую. Однако сотни тысяч любителей музыки во всём мире думают совсем иначе. А что касается продюсерской работы со звуком: разумеется, она была - как и на всех подобных шоу; какой смысл это обсуждать: был ли бэк-вокал, или это некий двоящийся голос. Обсуждать нужно такой вопрос: а было ли с чем работать продюсерам? Можно ли было выпустить другого очень хорошего артиста, чтобы он исполнил эту композицию - с тем же ошеломляющим эффектом: причём не только звуковым, но и эмоциональным, и артистическим? Ответ не потребует долгих размышлений: нет другого такого артиста. Для того, чтобы достичь именно такого мощного, многостороннего, долгоиграющего эффекта - нужен был только этот артист: Диана Анкудинова. У меня нет ни малейших сомнений, что продюсеры этого шоу ожидаемый эффект просчитывали, опираясь, хотя бы, на невероятную популярность видеороликов с "Реченькой", и особенно, с "Derniere danse". И как мы видим, они не ошиблись. Окончательные итоги подводить рано; прошло всего 14 месяцев; но непохоже, что песня "Can't Help Falling in Love"в исполнении Дианы Анкудиновой хоть сколько-нибудь потускнела и ослабила своё не до конца понятное воздействие на многих, очень многих слушателей. А то, что этот феноменальный голос не на всех так действует, лишь подтверждает для меня очевидное: он слишком необычный, слишком неожиданный, слишком не похожий на другие голоса. Его нужно не только расслышать, но и почувствовать; и если это произойдёт - то он вас вознаградит, как никакой другой голос... (предыдущая его реакция - на Димаша набрала 17 тысяч просмотров за 14 дней; думаю, эта реакция наберёт не меньше 20 тысяч - будет ли он удивлён?)

Never said she did. Pretty sure I was very clear that I've checked out some other performances of hers and that her tone is right in that ballpark in every one of them. There's definitely double tracking, and I'm not hearing polyphony in any sense of the term that I've seen described. I could be completely wrong in my definition though, so I'm looking forward to exploring it with more reactions to her singing soon. Agreed, she's got an incredibly unique voice.

[@Grays_Plays]

Cheers mate, I love it. That's exactly the kind of thing I look for when analysing a singer's voice. From what I've heard so far I'm not really hearing obvious polyphonics (though I'm admittedly far from an expert on them,) and I'm inclined to think that people are simply calling it that because of her unique tone and their desire to find a word to describe it. She tends to sing with a lower larynx than the average in contemporary music and more openness in various places in her throat from what I can tell, and the way she has to narrow other areas in order to maintain clarity emphasises different formants than what I think a lot of us are used to hearing. I haven't seen too much of her yet though so I could be completely wrong and maybe she does display polyphonics more obviously in certain performances. I'll have to keep listening and see what comes up. Thanks again for the link.

She has 2 pple, a man and a woman, to help her (contrary to the "You Are Super !" contest). I don't make up a story : she openly said it in an interview. On the other hand, her new vocal coach at this time trained her in her upper range, which she was not used to. In my mind, that’s maybe why she has the woman voice backing with her when she slides up, like a springboard you know, and she’s on her own after that, when she's already hit her upper range. 🤗

[@Grays_Plays]

Hi there, thanks for your comment. Yeah I definitely hear a couple of backing voices or something like that going on, not including some of the choir type sounds in the background. I'd love to see some performances of hers where she does utilise polyphony, as I'm sure it's a very different sound and I'd like to see it in action to know how singers use it in the context of a song. I don't get why they'd have a unison here personally, as Diana's voice was perfectly capable of cutting through and sounding perfectly good on its own to my ears and to me it just seemed to distract from her own performance. Mid ranges are always the trickiest areas to navigate even for most professional singers though, so you could be right and maybe they had it there as insurance if she was new to it. I honestly couldn't guess though with how little I've listened to her voice so far. Thanks very much again for commenting.

No effects in post production- that is really her. Keep in mind she is a contralto, so at the lowest end of the female voice, but with phenomenal range: D flat 3 to B flat 5. You should watch a few other clips- for her polyphonics and multiphonics, yodeling skills, ability to belt, and so on. An amazing singer.

Thanks for the reaction! There is no second voice on the recording, as it was a live sound show. The judges of the show who stood up at the end are professional singers, the one who stood up during the song is a famous opera singer. He has a really polyphonic voice, a rare dramatic contralto.

[@RedCnMn]

It’s a second voice on the track, not polyphonic. Doesn’t take away anything from her amazing skills

[@NebraskaGonvilleJones]

Even Diana has talked about the recording before (on one of her live Q&A vids) it was Diana’s voice layered over the top in post production. This doesn’t mean it’s any less amazing though.

[@Grays_Plays]

@Nebraska Jones, I thought it was hers, but with a deliberately different tone to fill things in. Sounded twangier and more present from what I could tell of it. I wonder why they added that in post for just that section and not the whole song? I'm sure her voice was perfectly good without double tracking.

Некоторое время назад у Дианы было четыре октавы. Сейчас, возможно, больше. она над этим работает.

[@peterhowells7309]

Greetings from Scotland! I'm not going to dispute your observations but I will give you a little background on this phenomenal singer's life - so far! Diana is 19yo currently but I've been following her since she was around 13yo. Diana is a natural Dramatic Contralto so the lower registers are her comfort zone but she now has around a 4 octave range and it's increasing. She also naturally sings with polyphonic overtones so it sounds like many voices at the same time! HOW you ask? Please continue reading............ 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, strangle and belittle her. It all culminated when (at 3yo) she dragged her to a bus stop with a broken collarbone and abandoned her, saying "Survive if you can" A passing relative took her in but because she cried constantly (naturally with a broken collarbone) she took her to 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! She is a rapid learner! 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/pp_PmHVvZc6HnJI (She has already sung in *7 languages, Russian, English, French, Spanish, German, Ukrainian and Arabic!!!*) 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 are 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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqexeot4n8Z3rqs The rest, as they say, is now history!.............

Thank you for sharing, though it's obviously a very sad story to read about. That kind of trauma from what I've seen tends to age children and make them come across as really mature for their age because of having to process that kind of horrific experience. I'm sure we can see elements of that in Diana's stage presence, as she seems incredibly intense while performing for such a young girl in a couple of her earlier clips that I've been checking out. It's horrible that she's been through such an ordeal and that she has that kind of pain to draw on, but it does give an amazing depth to her performances I must say. I hope she's in a good place now mentally and physically. She's a very gifted singer and I look forward to seeing how she grows as she I'm sure she'll only improve with time.

[@olegandrianow2775]

Yes, it was a show, but not an ordinary show. In it, professional popular singers, each of whom has a wide fan audience, compete on the same stage. They give scores to each participant separately (except themselves) from 1 to 9 without the right to repeat. All participants are professionals and everyone is interested in winning. Winning such a show on the central channel allows you to raise the singer's rating even higher than he was before the show. This is a live performance and all kinds of overdubs, except for backing vocals, and sound effects won't work on it. Other participants will be against it, since this is a show of performers, not sound engineers.

[@joshspeed7794]

He literally doesn't care and is clueless and provided the worst reaction ever. Lmao.

[@maya.6245]

Hi, Gray! Thank you very much for your reaction! Diana's fans can be really over-defensive at times :) I don't think she needs any kind of agressive defence. She is something outstanding as it is. She often makes covers her own way, this is her artistic choice. The song really sounds unusual in a minor key - a bit sombre, dramatic and more solemn. Sounds great in my opinion. I also enjoy her covers of Human, Wicked Game and Dernier Dance (the last one is in French). Thanks again!

[@Grays_Plays]

Hey Maya, pleasure as always seeing your comments. Thanks for checking out my reaction. Her fans seem lovely to me, it's just the usual stuff which I'm bound to run into on the internet. It's great fun to get the chance to engage with people and see so many different perspectives towards music than my own and I'm enjoying the engagement I'm getting. I'm sure there's a language barrier here to be fair, and I'm sure that accounts for at least a couple of the negative comments I've gotten so far as I don't think my more cerebral appreciation of some of the artists I'm reacting to is translating well with that barrier being an issue. It's bound to happen. But yeah, Diana seems to be experiencing massive success and I don't think she needs any defending. Her skills speak for themselves, and I love the sound of her voice here. I will definitely give your suggestions a look, thanks very much for sharing them!

There are hundreds of covers of this song and few touch me and come close to Elvis. Diana makes her own song out of it. Diana, also called goosebumps queen, sang the cover of the cover of the song by Elvis Presley in the first episode of the competition 'Шоумаскгоон' (ShowMaskGoOn). This was Diana's first adult competition in November 2021. She was the youngest competitor (aged 18) and wowed contestants and spectators with her first song. Rules: 9 winners of the previous shows 'The Mask', 'Superstar' and 'You are Super' took part in this new format and had to sing in 9 categories: folk hit, song at the end of the 20th century, Soviet song, pop hit, song your choice, new music, song from cartoon or film, rock hit, Grammy The man who jumps up is the world famous opera singer Yusif Eyvazov. He is also the husband of the world famous opera singer Anna Netrebko. He is the guest of honor and awards 9 points. Each episode has a new guest of honor. The competitors have to assess each other and have praised Diana to the skies. They said of their performance: 'Diana has no competition on the show - she amazes with her talent - it's impossible to tear yourself away from her - you want to listen endlessly, they're in tears and they're even afraid to blink' . 8 participants (Diana cannot score herself) gave Diana the highest score (9).

[@RabiZon]

Отличный и подробный разбор! Спасибо!

[@olegandrianow2775]

The polyphony in Diana's voice is clearly audible in slow motion. This is clearly not a manipulation of language. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound vibrating at a high frequency, when a low note alternates with a high one at a very high speed, which creates the effect of sounding two voices at the same time. By the way, the transition from a low octave to a high one also does not occur due to lowering or raising the larynx. Although it is, but not to the extent that all people have. Something about Diana is not arranged like that of ordinary mortals. She has unique ligaments and a huge laryngeal chamber, which together allows her to extract unearthly sounds. That's what I think. I am not an expert in this field and this is my private opinion. Perhaps it is erroneous. But surely, Diana's voice is a subject for scientific research.

[@FYT]

Diana doesn't use that kind of technique or polyphonic voice. As a professional in both sound science and polyphonic techniques, I believe that the arbitrary use of this term has gone too far.

I'd love to see some performances where she displays that talent more obviously. Feel free to link me a few if any spring to mind. From what I've seen so far (which admittedly isn't much,) I'm not hearing obvious polyphonics in her singing, and I'm wondering if people are saying that simply because she has a very unique tone and makes use of a much more open throat for the most part than the average singer and it emphasises certain harmonics more than we're used to hearing. I'll be diving a bit deeper into it as I think she's a fascinating singer that makes very effective use of a lot of unconventional techniques, and it's beautiful to listen to and inspiring for me in regards to wanting to develop my own singing and I definitely want to learn more.

I don't think so (with it affecting her voice, not doubting the story, lol.) Her voice is normal when she talks, as well as at many points during her singing so it must be under her control.
