Percussionists are in charge of everything that doesn't fit in to the other categories or other musicians refuse to play. They are basically the bottom feeders of the orchestra, extremely important to the ecosystem, but exists on things others don't want.

Me watching The Fifth Element: There's no way a human could preform this. The Danish National Symphony Orchestra feat. Jihye Kim: Hold my akvavit.

[@robyfiorili]

"there's no way a human could perform this". And what did you think she was, a robot or an alien? Never listen to Opera? 🤔

[@jessicahiga9870]

@@robyfiorili ahhh... It is actually impossible. They recorded her voice and then manipulated the notes on purpose to make a song that would be impossible for humans to sing, because she is an alien, thats the point. The notes CAN be achieved by a human, the impossible part is the speed in which Diva jumps from very high notes to low notes with perfect transition and without legato.

[@herojason]

Congratulations to soprano Ms. Kim for even daring to sing this piece, which is obviously not composed for human voice, and imitate a digitally edited record. But I still think that Jane Zhang's performance is the nearest to the original.

[@GarrickMerriweather]

@Ani Sakaci Agreed

[@Mwerner123]

She can definitely continue to craft it.

[@mengarooo3149]

Jane Zhang's performance was amazing, not that this wasn't excellent.

[@cheraf9488]

Agreed, but i think this arrangement is far better :D I would love to combine those two.

[@herojason]

@@cheraf9488 agreed.

[@Phaota]

This was superbly done and Jihye Kim did a magnificent job of singing it. She's the second Asian woman to pull off a near perfect job of singing the, at the time, impossible part since it was originally done through digital manipulation. I'm still a major fan of Jane Zhang's version done 7 years ago, available to see here on YT, but this one is on nearly the same level.

[@underthebluesky92]

OMG, I just stumbled onto DR Koncerthuset, so out of the box with their music choices and sounds. Ms Kim is amazing, and smiling right to the end of the very demanding Diva Dance vocal.

[@agffans5725]

The DR1 (and National) Symphony Orchestra is the Danish equivalent to the English BBC1 Symphony Orchestra, and their mission is not to push or provide a special brand of "taste" in music but is all about providing top quality public service to make all who watch and listen, and not least children and younger people get a taste for this kind of symphony orchestra music, also for educational purpose and to "nurture" their development.

[@TheArmando00]

My respect to The Danish Orchestra Band!!! I swear, every day they keep impressing me with their music not only playing better than what is produce but playing just like it. I hope they keep growing and performing this great music!!!!

[@psijicassassin7166]

The sax was unncessary. The synths muddied the harmony.

I can't believe so many orchestras and singers actually perform this. In the movie, it seemed like it was half special effects, but these singers pull it off.

[@Audiogeek-kf2ez]

This is so beautiful, a computer generated song reproduced as close to the movie by a human singer and a fantastic backing group if musicians

[@derpingdead]

Diva Plavalaguna was sung by Inva Mula Tchako, not computer.

[@agffans5725]

@@derpingdead ... Inva Mula Tchako was heavily computer edited and using autotune, which this is not ... in a live version Inva would fail misserably in compare to this level

Here is a Male Singer who is the best voice in the world! Not a computer .... more than 6 octaves Diva Dance here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWbdfqimirSah9E

[@k.v.7681]

@@1timcat Because it was. Eric Sérra, composer for the movie, wrote it that way on purpose for the futuristic and alien feel. It's not the entire thing, but heavy-handed none the less. All the artists that sing it modify the piece, as they should, since it's impossible to sing it as it was written. And it's quite common anyway to rearrange stuff in various performances, regardless of it being possible or not. The only reason you see people vehemently pretend the contrary is unhealthy fandom fluffing, as if admitting that AN IMPOSSIBLE part being modified diminished the artists in any way. Or to one-up the performance somebody else might prefer.

[@michaelkeller5008]

...this voice of Jihye Kim is insane!

That is incredible difficulty piece to sing. So far I've seen only one singer who can do it (in movies they use computer to do that final part). But still I am very, very impressed.

@@Matt561 Jane Zhang. Chinese pop singer. Find her on YT it is not difficult to find that piece from 5th element with her singing

What about Dimash Kudaibergen? For me the best version of all who has tried it.

[@KrzysztofNowacki]

@@raimundematiusaityte9929 He is good, very good but not as perfect as Jane. He made some changes in his version that made this piece little easier to sing. Listen carefully both versions and you will notice that changes, especially in that most difficult moment of The Diva Dance

[@k.v.7681]

@@KrzysztofNowacki So did she. And everybody else. She skips 2 runs in hers, and uses chest, mix and head (which is a big nono in opera). It's nice to listen to, not hating at all, but people of all fandoms need to realise they all modify the piece because it was written to be impossible. Like, on the technical level. No human can switch that fast. Biology would not allow it. Human biology at least, which was the point of the composer. It's supposed to be sung by a blue alien with 4 bricks in her stomach.
