The FIFTH Element - Tolkyn Zabirova

[@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.

[@frankcui5850]

[@steisen]

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.

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.

As I recall, the more extreme vocal sections of this are sampled and mixed, not actually sung real time. Several world-class performers have attempted to get close to the movie performance, but it is thus far impossible to reproduce.

[@discworldmort]

Still one of my favourite move moments ever. The fact that we were able to get something like this in a mainstream film is still (even now) amazing to me. It is the continuation of the "queen of the night" approach to opera and performed miracles in terms of revitalizing the genre for the current generation by showing them what was possible.

[@jameslevister153]

Get ahold of the cd set of the opera Lucia di Lammermoor staring Maria Callas with Tullio Serafin conducting. They recorded one set in about 1953 and my favorite version in 1959 in stereo- very good sound. This scene is actually the ," mad scene," that follows Lucia's murder of her husband. Callas is even more ethereal sounding.

This aria (song) is from the opera "Lucia de Lammermoor" an Italian opera set in Scotland and based on a novel by Sir Walter Scott. I have been to Donizetti's tomb which is in the cathedral of the beautiful northern Italian city of Bergamo not far from Milan. Donizetti of course wrote many other operatic masterpieces both comic and tragic and his works are a staple of the operatic repertoire. Donizetti himself had a tragic life ending up with dementia at a relatively young age .

@@minachae9464 when you look at her face and listen to the voice very carefully then you will see. 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. I have 12 years of singing and musical background, the more subtle the harder to be recognised for people... that's why half or full playback works on stage in the first place.

5th element is one of my favorites of all time, even to this day if I scroll through the lists and it's on? I'm watching it. I always thought that the high notes were computer generated. But either 1, this whole concert was lip synced or, 2 I have been wrong for 25 years. I think I was wrong, this concert almost moved me to tears. Bravo!

[@rosemay75]

Hands down the best rendition I have EVER heard of this number...! And I'm feeling I'm betraying some vocalists that are dear to me. Mind blown.

[@roma_love_eva]

Идеально! Музыканты особенно заценят. Самое приближённое к исходнику исполнение! Хотя это живой человек, а в фильме использовали комп. технологии. Браво! Браво! Браво!

After the 5th Element movie came out I went into every "proper" music store in my city to find any recordings of the opera singer capable of this. I was laughed out of them all. 23 years later... worth the wait.

You’re not wrong but probably the second best Die Hard next to the very first one.

[@sanchezking6188]

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).

[@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

Mk says the singer, not the actress.

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

[@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!

Definitely autotuned and chopped up at the really hard part.
