The FIFTH Element - Tolkyn Zabirova

[@Lazarus7000]

I remember this too, and I also remember that when they gave the piece to the singer, she surprised them with just how much of it she was able to perform unaided. I think what we're seeing here is a little bit of backstage trickery with electronics, a little bit of modifying the piece slightly, and a lot of skill on the singer's part.

[@NatashaJWalker]

@@stefanwessel6092 Look up live performances who have sung this. You might not believe it. But some CAN actually sing this song. Look at Opera Singers for example and the high notes they hit. I'm out. 👌🏽

@@stefanwessel6092 Well I'm sorry to bust your bubble, but this was sung entirely live! No tricks! And she is not the only one who has done it either. But I guess there will always be those who can't believe an exceptional talent....

[@aodhanpaedermaccionaoith4348]

The man who created this song explained why he said the song was 'impossible' - not because the notes were unreachable (the singer at the time hit all of the notes!) but rather because of the very fast parts. He was speaking of a human inability to switch between notes as fast as editing the notes closer together could, with the same precision and sharpness. And so the studio editing in question was simply this: The singer sang the notes more slowly. She hit all of the notes with no assistance. He edited the notes closer together to create fast note progressions. The artificial part of the song wasn't in helping her hit notes but in putting the notes closer together than humans can switch between notes. Since this song was created, there are a number of singers who have practiced singing those notes with a similar speed, and many of them have gotten so close that they sound artificial to some ears. That includes this woman, as well as a Chinese singer named Jane Zhang and an Indic man named Dimash Kudaibergen. You can tell that it's their actual voices because each of them lose control over the notes when they try to switch between the notes so fast. This creates noticeable imperfections-- a wobble here or there, a slight off-pitch note as they transition from one note to another, but most importantly, the speed is never exact. All of them, at some point in their runs, are chasing the background music, falling a little behind because of the difficulty of trying to sing notes at that exacting pace. This woman actually altered the song so that she wouldn't have to make such a large transition from one note to another, thereby allowing her to reach notes more quickly. That's the method that most of these singers use, which is why few of them perform the song exactly the way it's done in the movie.

[@renardmigrant]

Close (as I understand it). The woman brought in to sing the song in the movie said it was impossible. I don't think the composer also did.

[@axelthecreator]

Dimash is from Kazakhstan

[@AckzaTV]

she did NOT hit all the notes.. it sounded NOTHING like the movie... please stop trying to defend her... she tried h3er best and made it sound close but no cigar. stop cheating.

The parts after 4:45 are altered from the original to be "possible" to sing. Thats where the realy fast switching between head and chest voice is in the movie version, and it is not replicated here, not even close.

You can hear that some of the really tricky bits have been cut out to make performing this even possible, but still a supremely impressive singer. The original singer in the movie, Inva Mula, did not actually sing the whole thing either. Segmented recording and some editing was necessary to create the whole piece. But apparently the composer was astonished by her ability to do much more/better than a human should be able to, on a composition written explicitly to outrun the capabilities of humans (so as to emphasize the Diva’s otherworldly capabilities).

When someone does a half or full playback, you can easily recognise the slight, subtle disharmony between the face muscles and the rest of the body movements and the pre recorded and played voice. Another indication could be when the performer is physically moving and dancing a lot (not here though!) even a slight movement in the body can cause subtle voice changes.

The show must go on

[@Cherieosaurus]

Costumers had ONE JOB!! Plie and put that shit back on ballerina!

[@jaayv6975]

Same. But I can appreciate how the dancer kept going regardless. I know I wouldn't be able to. It'd bug me way too much. I've have to either kick it aside or quickly slip it back on ASAP

[@bellevie04]

It took me a whole ass 15 seconds to notice it after that time stamp. LMAO I was staring at the singer's outfit then finally noticed it xD

[@SuukiDesu]

I DIDN'T SEE THAT omg

[@julianthomas3153]

This version is by far the best one I have come across, she did great!

[@johnmadge8132]

Absolutely superb,what a glorious voice,loved it.

[@robinavalyn9513]

Wonderful voice! Glad I found this & watched. Luved her costuming, too.

[@user-nv4jm6zw4k]

Это непередаваемо прекрасно и завораживает, до мурашек на коже.. Волшебница, сирена, спасибо)

[@oralabihai459]

AH!!!!... the Voice of a Angel,,,,,and thru this a Message of Life......

[@elizabethgaspodnetich4322]

Wow! That was mesmerizing! I watched that whole thing with my mouth wide open and I don't think I took more that a few breaths!! Simply outstanding!!

[@Theonelordnikon]

My God did I just hear her sing that?! I did not think the human voice could have such a range!

[@fatimamukhamadiyeva2023]

Tolkyn Zabirova you are super singer💖👍

[@0410195757]

Fantastic singer, bravo. Pity about the armature production such as the person coming on left stage, the tutu falling of one of the dancers, and the appalling computer mods to her truly wonderful range.Apart from that, I've put this onto my favourites.

[@cranky1812]

DIMASH is much better than her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX-UmH-ZYpmdo5I

[@DM-fp9lr]

She is AMAZING SINGER!!!

[@jonathanmontes9304]

Amo esta interpretación!!! Gracias por el video!!!

[@mk14m0]

The original singer in the movie was Inva Mula Tchako.

[@ozymandiaspbs]

mk14m0 - No, it was actually Maïwenn, a French actress/producer who was engaged to Luc Besson at that time. He originally wanted her to do the part, but she did not want to work with him. He hired a blonde model for the role, but she went missing 2 days before the blocking. Mr. Besson then asked his fiancée to the part. She sang the entire song (after 3 months preparation). Here is her interview... kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnrXYaptgq9jkKs

[@hugh5114]

Mk says the singer, not the actress.

[@starchf]

I thought it was Sarah Brightman

[@Confucius_Spirit]

@@starchf No that's Inva Mula

[@Confucius_Spirit]

@@ozymandiaspbs you need to listen slow on that interview because you got it wrong..

[@laurataylor2686]

You guys the fith element is one of the most beautiful movies you could ever watch along with Lucs other film the tail of a 1000 cities... The man is a master

[@meladyl800]

OMG!!! I love the control in her voice!!!!! It's soooo amazing!!!!!!!! I remember the first time I watched that movie and this song has always enchanted me!!!

[@queenie3046]

Thank you! This is the best live version I've came across ❤❤

[@amramjose]

Fantastic even with some of the electronics at the end. Superb singer.

[@krollpeter]

This is among the very best renditions, if it is not been electronically enhanced and is her natural voice. Flexibility and control are good with minimum harshness in the uppermost parts. Good. She must have trained that over and over.

[@nonyabidness5708]

I'm pretty sure it is being electronically enhanced but it is still amazing!

[@kingzach74]

Definitely autotuned and chopped up at the really hard part.

[@krollpeter]

@@kingzach74 Ya, I learned more about singing by now. You guys are right, it's been manipulated.

[@joeyhollister1305]

Such control over that beautiful voice!. She actually does hit those notes!!!

[@james1787]

She nailed it. Wow!

[@thelonewolf2073]

You have such a beautiful voice Tolkyn Zabirova!! I was singing along and it made my heart soar and sing even more!!! :) I love your voice, have a beautiful day and stay healthy! :D *hugs*

[@becbecbecca]

This song was ahead of it's time. Electronic sounds via voice. Still so crazy to listen to. NEXT LEVEL. She is amazing.

[@dondragmer2412]

Its time. No apostrophe.

[@annieleslie5570]

Breathtaking, gave me goose bumps, voice of an angel 😊

[@MrHardNails]

The best voice control and perffect note maintenance ever recorded

[@PC-wp9tj]

Well, this is a masterpiece, and this singer is amazing.

[@SanbaiSan]

ACES to the one ballerina who LOST HER SKIRT and STILL KEPT DANCING! You go gurl!

[@donnym297]

I thought no one in the comments noticed!! And I get that she didn't want to interrupt the performance, control

[@espectaculardavidrcq]

Preciosa y perfecta voz.

[@Cocytus]

5:08 - OMG, she did that part absolutely PERFECTLY!!! HOLY SHIT what talent!!

[@kingzach74]

It's fake. That was autotuned.

[@user-so1nn8go8v]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Звучание Божественно, ШИКАРНО💝💖💝💖💝💖💕💕💕💕

[@grounding123]

The videography ughhh (on a positive note the singer was out of this world!)

[@angelfehascaN6]

I love the voice. Great work!!! Thanks.

[@karenbroder6265]

Absolutely stunning. Wow what a range. Just beautiful.
