Diana Ankudinova Диана Анкудинова... Can't Help Falling In Love | Vocal Coach Reaction/Analysis

Welcome!

In today's video we will be revisiting Diana Ankudinova. Her impressive contralto voice, timbre and performance maturity was already impressive as heck as a young teen with 'Wicked Game' so I can't wait to break down Diana's voice in 'Can't Help Falling In Love' (Elvis) and see how her voice and performance abilities have developed over time!

I am enthralled! Exceptional talent plus passionate work ethic gives you incredible performances like this. I cannot say enough how much time, effort and discipline Diana must have put in between Wicked Game and now to have developed this much while simultaneously her voice is still anatomically developing/growing/changing.

P.s. I can't be the only one who also thinks the lighting and background make her look like she is conducting/channeling lightning/electricity on the stage at some points right? Kudos to the lighting/tech team as well.

Diana's performance shows the desperation of losing herself to feelings she can't control. And that tone! OMG!!

[BTSmylifeforever]

Why do I cry every time I listen to her performance🤦‍♀️ Her voice...🥹 I feel it in my stomach, on my skin, on top of my head, in my tight throat...everywhere!!! 🥹

I don't know if you watched this video to the end, but you might have missed an indicator of Diana's emotional commitment to the song : at the end, she turns away from the cameras and is dabbing at her eyes. To me, this speaks volumes about her connection to the emotional content she has been delivering.

[J-wormy]

Her voice is so And so heavy. It sounds glorious.

The guy who stood up is a guest judge who is a well known Russian Opera singer who gives her so much great praise of her performance, in the videos from her account you get the competitors comments as well with translation. This is a competition show called “ShowMaskGoOn” and they gives points to each other based on performance and singing. 9 videos in all and she won this show with the highest points. All her songs are wonderful but two I think you will want to react to are “Crow” her best one out of all songs done and maybe “Personal Jesus”. Thanks for revisiting the awesome Diana, you are wonderful with your analysis, Thank you🙏🏼🌹

I'm glad you covered the disbelief aspect of listening to her sing. There were a few times where I didn't fully trust that I was hearing the notes that I was hearing. My brain kept trying to convince me that I was hearing something an octave lower than it really was. Until you played the notes on the keyboard, I was uncertain... but when you did that, my brain said, "See, she's not singing that..." while my gut said, "Yep, that's the note. She's singing it." After a brief internal argument my brain finally became convinced. I'm not writing that to be funny. That was literally my internal experience. I felt convinced both ways for a moment. It was disconcerting. So, like I said, hearing that you also felt a sense of uncertainty/disbelief on the matter helped to reassure me a lot.

Thank you for listening/reacting/analyzing Diana again. I am fascinated by her voice. It's an intellectual thing... hearing things that I don't quite understand and trying to make sense of them... and having your content helps me at least figure out why I'm confuzzled, even if it doesn't solve the mystery.

Can't get enough of this performance.

[EvieDelacourt]

Yup, this is the performance that transformed my appreciation of Diana the talented young vocal artist into now seeing her as Diana, the Music Elemental. This has to be some form of high level bardic magic, and only such rare vocalists as Diana and Dimash can ever hope to ascend into that awe-inspiring inner circle of mastery, transforming the world through the power of song! 😉🥰 And if this is what Diana can do with her voice now, imagine her in ten years, assuming continued hard work and improvement!

Diana has an insanely beautiful voice, goosebumps from the first to the last note!!!

[valeraloshinin]

Дианочка лучшая! Девочка моя любимая певица и актриса номер один в России и не только в России но и в мире королева мурашек,

[docbill]

she was given a divine voice that
impossible to analyze. angel descended
from heaven to brighten our lives

[davecampbell]

This is the only song that gives me chills every time I hear it and I've listened to it 25-30 times! I don't understand why the chills hit in different areas though. Sonetimes my arms or shoulders or thighs or (the best), warm chills throughout my chest and belly. Thanks for a great reaction Julia!

[sofiazorina]

I'd like to recommend you also "The Crow" ("Я ворона") by Diana. Perfect vocals + perfect performance + it's also of the songs that she loves the most herself.

[hiawatha.g]

Oh, s*** I've been waiting for you, of all reactors, to get to this. You nailed it. I would go beyond "risk" to say this is frankly about obsession, almost to the point of madness. Only Diana can interpret songs like this.

[marcshanbour]

She has many other performances from this show as well. All the songs but one, her personal choice was Personal Jesus, were chosen for her over many different genres. Two others that I haven't seen mentioned yet are Oh, It Is Not Yet Evening (Russian folk song) and The Way (rock song). The guest judge for The Way performance was the original singer for the song....her reaction is everything.

[cmrodriguez]

Wow! Your reaction to Diana was almost as good as the performance. Love it.
