Today's reaction is a lovely rendition of Rechenka sung by the amazing Diana Ankudinova. Her voice is amazing and we all ended up asking ourselves how does she sing like this? It's a big WOW performance. Her voice is so smooth and artful, yet there is a clarity through the depth of sound. How does diana ankudinova sing like this? Perhaps only she knows. This is the first time Charlie has reacted to Diana Ankudinova on KZbin.

Diana has one of the most intriguing voices ever

[@peterhowells7309]

Greetings from Scotland! I think you understand Diana's abilities, but to try to explain them effectively is near impossible! That's OK though because all her fans gave up trying to explain Diana a long time ago! She doesn't need explaining, just listen - open mouthed and in complete wonderment - because she is Diana! When she finishes her education and is ready, Diana will decide what she wants to do in her future. Whatever she wants to do, her fans will be happy for her. :) Привет из Шотландии! Думаю, вы понимаете способности Дианы, но попытаться объяснить их эффективно практически невозможно! Это нормально, потому что все ее поклонники давным-давно отказались от попыток объяснить Диану! Ей не нужно объяснять, просто слушайте - с открытым ртом и в полном изумлении - потому что она Диана! Когда она закончит образование и будет готова, Диана решит, чем она хочет заниматься в будущем. Чем бы она ни занималась, поклонники будут за нее счастливы. :)

Paradoxically, neither Diana nor Dimash are from Eastern Europe. Dimash is Central Asia, Kazakhstan. Diana Ankudinova was born at the opposite end of Eurasia from Europe, in the Far East, next to Japan. Diana’s a contralto gifted with naturally occurring polyphonic overtones. Diana's voice is like a rainbow of colors now and there's a pot of gold that's the gift at the end of the rainbow, and the rainbows being the various tones that and qualities that she has to offer through the song. Diana's polyphonic overtone sounding is indescribable happiness, delight and goosebumps. To perform all this with a contralto chest register, combining with a mixed and head register, ending each phrase with his own unforgettable yodeling technique, no one is able to perform songs, as Diana does.

[@monolit73]

don't forget that Diana is 14 years old here. Only in the next season will Diana's contralto beauties be fully revealed, and the overtone, polyphonic sound akin to throat singing will be more noticeable later, coaches also say that Diana widely uses throat and nasal twang, mixing them.

[@Rosannasfriend]

This was a good song for her to show off of her abilities. She had the slides, she had the register transitions and of course the yodels which are more clear-cut type of register transition. She had great breath control, she had the ability to change timbres a bunch of times, and she had a lot of vocal power.

This particular song also showcased her acting talent and breathtaking stage presence.

[@viktorn6382]

The song rechenka or little river, is a Russian folk song, even before Christianity, that an orphan girl comes to the river and prays to the spirits of nature. The song is about the fact that my mother, father and brothers were killed by the enemies, there is no one to take care of her. There are about 30 variants of this song, but the basis of the content of each of the variants are the sad appeals of the orphan bride to her deceased parents, asking them for "blessings" and help for marriage, for a family to strangers. There are other versions of this song, where the heroine appeals to her brothers, and even to her parents, with a call to return to earth in the form of a bird to her native home. At the end of the song, the girl sails away to a strange tribe, to a strange family. This song appeared before 900 AD, before the Russians sailed to conquer Constantinople and converted to Christianity. The roots of the song are in pagan Russia, it is a very, very old folk folklore. And since Diana is an orphan herself, this topic is very close to her.

[@Sleawzor]

always happy to see Diana

[@DianaRussia531]

There is nothing gimicky about her vocal texture. So many "vocal coaches" want to try to explain her voice away but I think you are not overthinking it and are spot on about how natural this comes to her. The horses in the stable are from the guests arriving to the wedding and the dancers are the spirits of the river as she speaks to the spirt of her dead mother. The creepy voice is the voice of her mother. She uses yodeling techniques in a mainstream way to express anguish. It's brilliant. No offense to your twitch audience but some of those comments about the judges were trash...just made up or from an earlier contest where Diana sand Yodel Time and she was much younger. The judges were blown away with her use of this technique...heck, you can just see it in their reactions. Watch and translate their commentary after the performance and you will see what I mean. Great video, loved your insight.

[@user-oc1qn5uv8o]

*For Big Brain Singer:* here is the video that Han Fastolfe writes about - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHzHp5SNqMlsZ7M In general, yodling as a singing technique is not typical for Eastern European (including Russian) performers, so the decision of Diana and her mentors to suggest such a song to the judgement of jury was risky - none of the judges on the "Voice. Kids" dared to become her mentor. They were very impressed with Diana's performance, but they were afraid of being inable to find a similar next song for her (they thought that the girl specializes in exactly this kind of singing because her performance seemed so professional to them). By the way, when performing "Rechenka" Diana was 14 years old, and on the project "Voice. Kids" she was 13. That is, about 1 year passed between these recordings.

Classic yodel isn't native to Eastern Europeans, it's a German technic. And i've realised just now that Diana is so brave to become the first singer to use German vocal technic in a Russian folk song. You know the folk art is much about traditions... I guess the judges are stunned with her courage and persuasiven

[@mariyaatanasova1556]

She is not easter european genetically just by nationality. She is obviously of indiginous tribes of the Russian Federation origin. Maybe Tuvan or Altaian. They have long tradition of throat singing and yodling they utilised as part of their shamanistic culture. Germans are not only people using throat singing or and yodling. And Tuvans speak Russian as their second language and know many Russian folk songs. She did not invent it. It has been done for long time. It is just that her singing voice and technique are unique so is her anatomy when it comes to her vocal cords.

Yodeling involves repeated and rapid changes of pitch between the low-pitch chest register (or "chest voice") and the high-pitch head register or falsetto. Diana masters both the high notes as well as the very low, also shown when she does that slide from high to low. And she is very good at yodeling. Take a look at when she was younger ....

I like the elements of mystery, shamanism and tribal flavour in it. Diana is one of a kind and possesses a unique voice.

[@mariadeeva1530]

Thank you for your reaction 🤍 A quick history about this song: This is an old Russian folk song about an orphan bride who has no parents to give blessings to her marriage, so she goes to the river, which represents the border between the living and the dead to ask for a blessing from her mother. The part about the horses in the yard just means that there are a lot of people gathered at the celebration, but nobody who can "give her away" in the traditional sense. That creepy whisper was the voice of her deceased mother, and the yodeling part was her weeping.

[@RahimRahmat]

I think I know what you were trying to say when you were talking about sub-harmonics. Most of the twitch commentators rejected that sub-harmonics idea, but you still felt there was something unexplainable in her voice, right up to this video. I kind of hear it as well. It's like she has a second voice operating in lieu with her first voice, correct? She can be singing high notes, yet there are these spooky secondary low notes that are coming out as well. It's not apparent when you listen live for the first time, but it's like... there...

[@McDevittMike]

You actually interrupted a fantastic run to do a poor imitation. Wow! She delves into her native cultural roots for many of her sounds. Yodeling is not unique to the Swiss and has meaning for a lot of different cultures. And, personally, I don't think yodeling was the principle feature of this song. It was an appropriate decoration for the story the song was telling. I heard this song COMPLETELY differently than you did.

@@elenaplotnikova8363 thanks for you’re input Elena. I am not from Russia and of course will defer to you if you are and have a better understanding of the region. It is however my understanding that the far east of Russia is part of the Asian continent geographically. Diana was born and spent her first 12 years there north of Vladivostok. I am not sure of the cultural background of Diana’s birth mother or from which ethnic group she or Diana may identify with. If you have any further information about that I would be very interested to find out. I do know that there are many indigenous and ethnic groups in the region and many are from other parts of Russia and Asia. So to answer the question accurately I am not really qualified or knowledgeable on the specific details. It dose however seem that it is more likely Diana is from Asian Russia and less likely to identify as European. I genuinely hope I have not offended you and happy to be corrected if you are more knowledgeable that I am. Also I really don’t like this guy’s reactions as well. He dose seem a little dismissive and arrogant as a reactor. Not heard him sing but not really interested to either.

There is so much more to Diana than you currently know. There are reasons people are requesting you react to 2-to-3 year-old TV-show material. The main reason being that those songs have high professional production values. She created and arranged her own interpretations to those songs. I've watched hundreds of reactions to Diana. 99% of them simply take her at face value and focus on HER, and not on the game-show format. Listen to Tomorrow is a Lie.

She has suffered greatly and it is a miracle that she is alive, much less a world-class performer. She doesn't need my, or anybody else's, sympathy or pity. Her past has made her strong. She is surrounded by people who love her and all indications are that she is doing exactly what she needs to prepare for her future. I've watched videos of her recent performances. The production values are lower and the recording values leave a lot to be desired, but even with all that I can tell that her voice and range are improving, almost on a daily basis. Bottom line, I think that there is no better female vocalist/performer on the planet than Diana. Personally, I think that Diana is perfect for opera and musical theater.

You spent entirely too much time obsessing over yodeling, when it is likely that it a part of this song.
