The man in the back row who stood up putting his hands to his face is Russian Supersoprano Anna Netrebko's husband. He is also an operatic tenor. If such a man, with years of experience on the opera stages of the world could be affected to such a degree by Diana, is it any wonder that she can affect the rest of us so deeply.

People with this voice type tend to love to embrace the rich power in their lower notes, and honestly I don't blame them. It rings so much stronger and evokes a raw emotion. It also kind of makes you feel a vein of energy rush through your body at those notes. Well, that's how I see it. Her voice is so amazingly true.

[@GTimStream]

As a child, Diana was beaten by her parents and was placed in an orphanage. She was then adopted by a woman who gave her affection and care. I believe that this is the reason why Diana has grown into such a strong and emotional person. Memories of the past mixed with other factors gave such a rattling mixture, making Diana so strong. She practices music every day for many hours. Diana's talent cannot be overestimated, it's a colossal job. I want to express my gratitude to all the bloggers who do their reviews on Diana. Diana brings us all together. ❤️

[@thedolphin5428]

Yes, this stayed very close to the arrangement by Tommee Profitt. It's dark because the melody went from a major to a minor key and Diana's contralto voice darkens it even more.

I can't even imagine just how amazing she is live and in person. You can just tell by the looks on the faces of everyone there that her singing is not singing. It's an experience. 😳

[@tom7204]

I imagine this must feel like one of the closest experiences to being within the presence of a higher power in physical form. If music has ever had the power to form entire religions before, throughout human history, or atleast become the renaissance backdrop at its very foundation, then I can only believe Diana's voice would be giving birth to a whole new kind of otherworldly divine spark within all the proud Russians and worldwide witnesses who hear her today and in the future. Just to be clear, I'm simply saying that it's easy to see how Old Norse chants, Tibetan throat singing, Christian prayer hymns, Mediaval Latin choir, New Zealand's Haka, Arabic and Aramaic lullabies, Native American war-chanting and all the other amazing and diverse sounds ranging on the spectrum of music, yet are clearly distant cousins connected at the roots, all lend credence to the power of sound, and its ability to connect people to something greater, by transfixing their attention and transforming their perception. Dynamic vibrational frequencies that, when sung in complex arrangements and methods, become incredibly powerful and deeply personal while singing or listening alone, yet completely amplified in strength when sung or listened to in unison. Try to imagine anything without the sense of sound enhancing it. I really feel for deaf people and what they miss out on. I think I feel even worse for those who once could hear, but have now lost all audible function, disconnected to the whole world contained within the realm of sound that they once had full access to. If I was stuck with the choice of losing either my sight or my hearing, I know which I'd have to opt for in a heartbeat. Music is the heartbeat of life. Anyway, to bring it back to your message, I struggle to comprehend what it would be like to hear Diana live. Must be very surreal for those who have. Unexpected and odd rant now over. Cheers for reading.

First, her control over her straight tones is incredible. Second, in the remarks portion, multiple members of the jury remarked on the unbelievable amount of energy they felt moving through them during this performance-they said they'd never experienced anything like it. The gentleman who stood up in the jury, is the husband of Russian uber-soprano Anna Netrebko, so he knows powerful voices (he's an opera singer himself, Yusif Eyvasov)! He was just stunned by her. All these pros gobsmacked by a 18 year old's voice. Amazing 🤯🥰❤️

Talking to a brick wall would actually be more productive as it can reflect more than just the sound that hits it. You can question the truth all you want but you lack the tools to accurately see the world that exists all around you.

[@Mal3ficarum]

This iteration feels like it could be talking about a forbidden love, or more so, an obsession. Being in love with someone you inherently don't want to actually love, but do despite what's best for you. As though falling in love is dooming rather than enlightening, like watching a storm approaching that you can't help but move towards knowing things are never going to end well, but you're unable to go any other way.

[@NextenBlade]

She's a polyphonic (you can hear it at the climax at the end) dramatic contralto - which is insanely rare and incredible. It's beautiful!

[@taylor3709]

She's not polyphonic. lmao, she's just contralto. She can sing low, and she can sing high. But she can't do them both at the same time. "Real" polyphonic isn't even real. It's just contorting your tongue/mouth to almost "whistle pitch" as you sing low so it seems like you're singing high at the same time.

[@cequevouldras]

11:21 this is devastating, gives me extreme chills. An avid music listener, I have never heard anything like this.

Diana singing the 300 year old Cossack folk song "Ой, то не вечер" (Oh It's Not Yet Evening) is her most incredible performance in this Russian TV show so far.

To me the Elvis version sounds like a sweet "No matter what you do or anyone says I can't help falling in love with you." sentiment. Diana's is more in the Chris Issac "Wicked Game" feeling of "I really don't want to cause it's a horrible idea but I can't help falling in love with you."

[@YayMiko]

I think Diana actually does a performance of Wicked Game!

[@Phil-Paris-France]

Not Elvis song ! This is Tommee Profitt's version. ORIGINAL SONG is French ! Joan Baez sings in 1960 french/english, My grandmother sang this song in French in 1920. Elvis Presley adapted the melody and he changed the words "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" in the 1961 movie, Blue Hawaii. Elvis is one of many people who have covered this song ! ORIGINAL SONG is French ! It's a romance "PLAISIR D'AMOUR". Music composed in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Egide Martini. It is taken from a short story by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian, Célestine, which appears in his collection "Les Nouvelles de M. de Florian" published in 1784. Queen Marie-Antoinette, king Louis XVI wife, in France, sang this song at the Château de Versailles before the Revolution!

[@JustTanya.]

I have never heard of Diana Ankudinova before but I am definitely going to look her up now. Wow, I had goosebumps non-stop when she sang. This version is so haunting. I don't know why but the feeling I interpret from this version from her, it's kinda like she's singing about music itself. She can't help falling in love with music because it's the one thing that will never leave her. It'll never hurt her, it'll always be there to comfort her, excite her, lift her up, bring her down. Music is her medicine for her mind, body and soul. I don't know, maybe because that's the way I feel about music so it could be my own interpretation on what I feel listening to her version of it. 😎👍

Diana's version feels stormy to me, with flashes of light on the stage reminding me of lightning and her thunderous voice. The electric connection of love carries a level of danger and fear. I'm guessing that after the betrayal of her birth mother, she may have felt the fear of loving anyone, but ultimately she couldn't help but love again. Just my interpretation....thank you for the review. I've been looking forward to watching with you.

[@joevokey1340]

I’ve listened to dozens of vocal analysts critique this specific song, but you stand out far and away from the rest, by delving into the psyche of what inspires a singer to sing the way they sing, which, as a singer, is the crux of how singers sing the way they do…INSPIRATION!!

[@Natalia3579]

Elvis sang about his grandmother and Diana, I think, sings about her life. The first verse is dark - it's about the years she lived with her mother, who drank and beat Diana. The second verse is lighter, more fragile - it's the period when Diana found a second family that loved her. And ending the song openly and confidently is Diana today.

Met dezelfde verbazing en bewondering heb ik vandaag voor het eerst naar Diana zitten luisteren. Nooit eerder zoiets gehoord. Haar ademhaling middenrif strottenhoofd articulatie etcetera ... ze heeft alles wat een goede zangeres nodig heeft onder controle. Wat een talent.

[@phoebebanks2876]

She has the most profound and excellent singing voice on the planet that I've ever heard in my 30 years of life!!!!!

This totally sounds like a new James Bond theme song.

Elizabeth didnt mention the other powerhouse... Dame Shirley Bassey.. another massively intense performer from the most modest of beginings and Queen of the Bond themes. Imagine Diana signing off a performance with one of the best done her way. Or From Russia with love.😉😎

[@malelonewolf80]

Her singing and performance is beyond my capabilities to describe. But I love artists like her that at times tempers their voices at times rather than going full out / flexing their technique to its fullest potensial. There are parts in this song where she could easily gone full Hulk level of power in her voice, but instead she tempers her voice and slowly builds up to a power crescendo at the end which blows away any competition.

[@PetiteNomNom]

100% agree. You can definitely tell that her unworldly voice could've gone into even further lengths but she handled and performed with just the perfect amount of confidence and control.

Bonjour de France Elizabeth, Je ne sais pas si vous vous souvenez de moi, mais nous avions eu quelques échanges notemment sur votre passage en France.... Content de vous revoir parmi nous (les fans de Diana)! Vous avez du voir la réaction de votre collègue, le ténor Azerbaidjanais Yousif Eyvazov? Il est littéralement tétanisé! Il faut dire qu'être dans la salle c'est autre chose que de regarder et écouter une vidéo sur KZbin! La voix de notre petite Diana a muri et s'est encore enrichie sa gamme s'est élargie et quelle puissance! Elvis ne m'a jamais ému comme Diana l'a fait! Cette version va entrer dans l'histoire * Hello from France Elizabeth, I don't know if you remember me, but we had some discussions, notably during your stay in France .... Glad to see you back with us (Diana fans)! You must have seen the reaction of your colleague, the Azerbaijani tenor Yousif Eyvazov? He is literally paralyzed! It must be said that being in the room is different from watching and listening to a video on KZbin! The voice of our little Diana has matured and is further enriched, her range has widened and what power! Elvis never moved me like Diana did! This version will go down in history

[@Ines-rn1si]

👉 Elisabeth-Sunshine, I am so happy that you are analyzing Diana's singing again after such a long time. Maybe Dimash again. So much happened that year, so many new songs ... and each one a surprise. Diana sang this Elvis Presley song in the first episode of the 'Шоумаскгоон' (ShowMASKgoon) competition. Diana is the youngest participant (18 ys) and with her first song she tore the participants and viewers from their seats. 9 winners of the previous shows 'The Mask', 'Superstar' and 'Du bist Super' take part in this new format and they have to sing in 9 categorys: Folk-Hit, Song at the End of the 20th Century, Soviet Song, Pop-Hit, Song of your Choice, New Music, Song from Cartoon or Film, Rock-Hit, Grammy The man who jumps up is the famous opera singer Yusif Eyvazov and husband of the world-well known opera singer Anna Netrebko. He is a guest of honor and representative of the operatic genre in this first episode of the competition. Those competitors have to evaluate each other and they have praised Diana in the highest tones: “Diana has no competition on the show, she amazes with her talent, it is impossible to tear yourself away from her, you want to listen endlessly, they have tears in their eyes and are even afraid to blink”. 8 out of 9 participants (Diana cannot give herself any points) gave Diana the highest number of points (9). She won the first episode. I'm looking forward to the next episode, next saturday. * Original (dark version): Can't Help Falling in Love feat. brooke - Tommee Profitt - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnXFoJiHm6amrdk * Whole Show Шоумаскгоон/ ShowMASKgoon - Episode 1, Sept, 25. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ7aYoGcgKd7n6s 🌼🇩🇪

[@SoiledWig]

On the topic of control, i love how she ends her very last vowel. She doesn't cut it off abruptly like the percussive instrumentation. She does this soft, but instant, fade-out. It's like when you suddenly have to brake fast, but you do it in a controlled manner so your coffee doesn't splatter against the inside of the windshield.

[@lordleonusa]

I've never heard her before, I dont know what to say, this is not normal, she is spectacular and her voice is so powerful, it speaks of all her tortutred life experiences, but also of her supreme strength on overcoming them, absolutely amazing!

[@BrettHondow]

I have been waiting a long time for this one. Glad you revisited Diana, it has been too long, her voice has likely matured so much more since you last saw her. Loved this rendition, this was the Tommee Profitt dark version and Diana shocked everyone with her interpretation.

[@2109LP]

oh thank you so much for addressing Diana Ankudinova again!! wonderful song! Looking forward to see!

[@steveroberts728]

Words cannot adequately describe the beauty of this lady’s voice. It is other worldly. Pure controlled power and beauty combined to make a unique experience. I’ve listened to this lady many, many times and her voice makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and tears fill your eyes. I have never heard anything like her. It leaves you feeling shocked, amazed and in awe of her sheer talent.

[@stephanieallangarman5598]

I have to implore you CHARISMATIC VOICE…DIANA has recently participated on a MASK SINGER SHOW and her 9th performance is an ARIA called PRINCE IGOR or “FLY ON THE WINGS OF WIND”…I am still shocked and stunned at her expanded and improved high notes. The clip is provided by “KOR” because it’s blocked even in her COUNTRY at present. I pray you’ll take the opportunity.

When Diana goes epic we tremble.... Mesmerizing, bewitching, magical, trully astonishing. She can channel enormous energies, grab our attention and take us to her world. Hope there will be similar songs among the *other 8 categories* .... (see below*). It's good to see how talent shines when given opportunity in professional enviroment. She already trained her dramatic contralto voice even further at the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS) in Moscow where she studies, yet she is still super young (18), and personal experience cannot be exchanged with learning. So in this way it is good she can experience so many cool performances first hand, live, inspired, and also singing 9 songs from different genres will be challenging but rewarding in the long term. Some details of this performance: The ShowMaskGoon is a new TV show on Russian NTV channel, every saturday (3 episodes left, 6th already aired), where best/winners of 3 music shows (The Mask, You are Super, Superstar) perform, and vote giving 2 to 9 points to each other at every episode's end. So those sitting up there are the other singers, Diana sits with them when others perform. Plus the guest star of each episode, this time it was Yusif Eyvazov (opera singer, tenor, he stood up during the performance). They got only one 9 point, one 8 point, etc. So they are forced to give 2 points to someone, and they wont vote for themselves. She got 7x 9 points, 1x 8 points this round. The guest star of this episode gave 1 point to everyone equally = 72 total. In each round, the participants will be offered nine topics: for example, one will perform a folk song, the second - a song by a Grammy award winner, the third - a rock hit , etc. " The nine categories* are: "People's Hit", "Song of the End of the 20th Century", "Soviet Song", "Hit from Every Iron", "Song of Your Choice", "Modern Music", "Song from a Movie or Cartoon", "Rock Hit" and "Songs of the Grammy Award Winners and Laureates". This song in this first show is for the last category "Songs of the Grammy Award Winners and Laureates".

This episode's guest star Yusif Eyvazov (opera singer, tenor, he stood up during the performance) 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."

I know this is a much older reaction video, but Diana is the one and only major artist I have discovered in this year of 2023, and subsequently become a massive fan of. I feel the same as essentially everyone about her voice- she doesn’t sound like anyone else at all, and there is no one else who sounds quite like her, period. So I’ve spent this autumn and now into winter checking out reaction videos to her various performances. And I would classify this as one of the better ones I’ve seen, of an amazing rendition that is always going to astound me.

[@royworks7986]

Thank you Elizabeth for you articulate, thoughtful reaction to one of the most unique singers on the planet. I feel a better understanding of her voice after listening to your reaction. I learned recently that she arranged the song her self. She was offered help from many people but choose to do it herself. I think she did an excellent job of it. Diana has also released a new song written for her, that is much softer and ornamented by her beautiful vocals. The name of the song is “Duduk”, after the ancient Armenian wood flute. You might want to check it out since you are a fan. It just takes you to some foreign lands. I can not help but feeling spoilt with all the songs from the show mask go on and now her new song release. Anyway, thank you very much!

Unique is such an understatement for Diana's instrument. She clearly works very hard on her technique too. Much like Dimash I am very intrigued to see how her voice develops as she gets older.
