CHRIS ISAAK FAN'S first REACTION to DIANA ANKUDINOVA — Wicked Game — Диана Анкудинова, 15 лет, г.

Can she make the best song ever released her own?

[rotorhead-fync]

Short bio. Diana was removed from her birth mother's care, and placed with other family who placed her in an orphanage. She stuttered and could barely speak. She was adopted by an orphange staff member, and at age 5, in an effort to help her speech, as she showed an interest in music, she received voice lessons. Obviously it worked!! Diana is 15 in this performance. At 14 she won this show for orphans and other disadvantaged children called "You Are Super." The next year at 15 she performed in the Grand Prix of the show and won again. This was one of the songs she performed in the video you have of her. Diana will be the next massive Russian superstar, absolutely no doubt. BTW, proper Russian pronunciation of her name (phonetically) is DEE-ah-nah Ahn-Koo-DEE-nah-vah, emphasis on the all caps. There is no "O' sound in her last name. Really like your reactions to Angelina and now Diana.

Diana Ankudinova was born on May 31, 2003 in Russia. She participated in the Russian TV project "You are super!" in 2018 with the songs "Derniere danse" (French), "It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” (English), “The River” (Russian), “Tomorrow Is A Lie” (English) and won. In 2019, she repeated the success, won the Grand Prix on the TV show "You are super! Superseason." with the songs "Blizzard" (Russian), "Wicked Game" (English), "Human" (English).
Recordings of Diana's performances on the show "You are super!" posted on YouTube (copyright of the NTV channel).
In the TV project "You are super!" children from 8 to 18 years of age, deprived of parental care and inmates of orphanages participate. The project producers help the finalists with their studies and creative careers.
Diana has a unique voice - "contralto", the lowest female voice (F3-F5). It is very rare for girls. Diana's working range of voice is two tones lower and four tones higher than that of the contralto (D3-D6), the tenor is mezzo-soprano. Diana's rich set of techniques, emotional presentation, velvety timbre and attractive appearance make her stand out among the vocalists on the stage.
Diana continues her career as a pop singer, gives concerts in Russian cities, studies at the State Institute of Theater Arts. Diana Ankudinova has an official Internet channel on YouTube. It contains recordings of performances from 2008 to 2021. I
recommend visiting this channel.

Hi from France Danny!
Great reaction!
Your astonishment is not exceptional! Diana uses many vocal techniques rarely used in pop music (like overtones, yodel, and some from classical singing....). The one that seems to amaze people the most is polyphonic voice. The root notes are enriched with powerful harmonics which can give the impression that there are several overlapping voices or an artificial effect which gives this result. This technique is used in Slavic folk music, like Bulgarian vocal groups or artists like Pelageya, the Russian folk diva. I cannot tell you exactly how these artists achieve this result, I was just told that it is linked to the simultaneous use of the different resonators of the human body and that such a mastery of the voice and of the breath with such a fluidity requires years of work, Diana has been singing on stage and has been taking singing and performing arts lessons since the age of 6! She has a range of contralto D3-D6, she has fun to cover, see on her official channel, songs written for male voices (tenor, baritone)...


This broadcast is "You're Great!" ("You are Super"), a song contest reserved for children who have had a difficult start in life. This is the case of Diana who was mistreated and ended up in an orphanage at 3 years old.



In this shows Diana is directing, arranging and preparing her performances herself. She's a real creator.
In addition, her costumes are designed and sewn by her mother and grandmother since she was 5.

I enclose a biography and some links for the next reactions. ;-D

Очень понравилось, что мужик внимательно выслушал все до конца и по итогу высказал свое восхищенное авторитетное мнение, не красуясь и останавливая музыку каждые пять секунд, как десятки других "коач-специалистов"

[PlezurBazar]

I first got into watching reactions because of BABYMETAL, for me this led to the personnel discovery of Dimash Kudibergen, Diana Ankudinova, Band-Maid, Maximum the Hormone, Waggaki Band, Morriset Amon and Angelina Jordan. All amazing in their own ways.
Diana is my favorite singer now, in fact she is my desktop background. Its not just her talent, it is the amount of worldly challenges that she has faced and overcome in order to achieve her artistry and the undeniable feeling that there is something primal and spiritual about her work.
Derniere Danse, Human, Blizzard, Rechenka and her own "Into The Sky" are my favorites.

Kitsune dao!

[natalieo-s]

[svetlanaplugaru]

For Diana always like. She's amazing and talented artist. Thank you for reaction.

[iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

Diana is a true natural, as a singer, as a performer, starting from a very young age. You have discovered the tip of the iceberg. Diana sings songs in six languages, with impeccable vocal control and an amazing range... and she can yodel! There is no voice that can compare!

[NebraskaGonvilleJones]

Rechenka is an absolute must. She was only 14yo and it is simply enchanting

[axxgrey]

Hello, you're right, Chris Isaac's version is very special. And I am glad that many singers from all over the world do not let their listeners forget it, creating beautiful covers. As for Diana, this is not her only cover version of famous songs. If you look at them, you will not regret it, and we will be happy to listen to your opinion. She also has her own songs.

[bumbox]

Как приятно смотреть на людей получающих искреннее удовольствие от голоса Дианы! Чистые эмоции!))

[mike_zotov]

Hi! Great reaction, if a musician gets goosebumps, it's expensive. Trying to sing Chris is a thankless task, but showing the work from a different, new side is already creative. Diana is different in this respect, she never copies, but shows her interpretation. This is in addition to her vocal abilities, which are unique.

[monolit]

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.

Correct pronunciation
DIANA [Diː ˈa: na:] as Dee-ana
ANKUDINOVA [A:ŋ kuː 'di: nɔː va:]

[DianaRussia]

Diana has a unique, magical, mesmerizing one of a kind voice.
