Greetings from Scotland! Yeah, that was pretty close to perfect pronunciation! 👍 OK, so this was her 3rd performance in an amazing Russian project "You're Super" for abandoned/disadvantaged children, was broadcast May 12, 2018 and Diana was still 14yo here! The song is close to Diana's heart and means a lot to her personally. She now performs this a capella at her live concerts, usually starting in total darkness then the spotlight picks her out! Can you imagine the atmosphere in the audience! IF you want to see an example, try this, it won't be blocked! "Rechenka" acapella kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7OGg9BosK2lmYU.html Also can I recommend a German song she did live a capella which also won't get blocked! "Was ich dir sagen will" (German) acapella kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obCXh5eX3JjWn5s.html So, what is the song "Rechenka" all about? A very old Russian folk song, it appears in a variety of different lyrics, but the basic story is more or less the same. Here is a rough explanation, remember Diana spent time in an orphanage herself. *THE SONG* (As Diana sings it here) "You are a river. My dear river. You flow and do not splash." "Oh yes you are a child, my little child - why are you sitting and not smiling" "Our yard is full of horses and the living room is full of guests" "Oh, my friends, my darlings, oh yes, I have nothing to rejoice at and nothing to smile about." "I have no father or mother, no one to bless me ..." "You are a river. My dear river. You flow and do not splash." *THE STORY* "A young orphan girl is being given away in marriage to the unloved. She goes to the river (a portal between the living and dead) to ask her dead mothers’ blessings for a marriage that will not be a happy one. The spooky voice is her dead mum answering back! The mood of the song changes and we hear her young girlfriends in the yard playing and laughing, asking why the girl is so sad? Then she cries uncontrollably. She is lifted into the boat to be taken to her wedding with resignation for a sad life."

Her first song in this competition was in French and the second in English so the judges asked her if she could prepare something in Russian for her third performance, she came with this one and boy she blew their brains outs. You can also catch a glimpse of her step mother in there, the person who saved, supported and gave her a real future.

The judges were asked after this performance, why they did not push the buttons until the end. They basically said that they were so mesmerized by her singing it that they basically forgot. Oh, she was 14 here. I have always said that she was given to Mother Earth by the Gods to bring joy to the world. And, that she does.

This competition is called "You Are Super" and is specifically for disadvantaged children who did not grow up with one or both blood parents. Her adoptive mother entered her. The song "Rechenka" (river or little river) is a Russian folk song. The river is the boundary between the living and dead. She is an orphan about to be given away into a marriage she is dreading and goes to the river to seek her dead mother's blessing. As you know, Diana was an orphan, so it has a special meaning. Diana won that season of "You Are Super"...and was invited to participate the following year in the all star season for prior winners...she won that season also! As you've probably read from other comments, she is a dramatic contralto and really becomes part of the song! So she won the two seasons at ages 14 and 15. She was only 14 when she sang this song. Perfect song, perfect voice, perfect artist! When she won this first season, the older gentleman judge, Igor Krutoy, is a famous composer/producer/billionaire in Russia who also promotes/produces Dimash's performances. Igor gave Diana an apartment in Moscow so she and her family didn't have to take a 12 hour train to get there each time and so she could get into local schools and university nearby to further her artistic development. Great reaction video again! Keep up the good work! BTW...your eyes are beautiful, and mesmerizing! 😉😊

All of the judges were so caught up in the performance that they forgot to hit their buzzers and panicked when they thought the song was ending

This was more than music, it was pure art. Diana only 14 years old here. Just amazing. I encourage you to check out her cover of Crow by an artist known as Linda in Russia. It was on the same show as Can't Help Falling In Love and it's arguably her finest performance on that show.

She was 14 here. Mic drop

Rechenka is one of Diana Ankudinova’s first immortal masterpieces. These days she opens her concerts in total darkness, singing this song a cappella 😳⚡️❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful reaction for Diana... and her cosmic voice☝☝☝

Me encanta tu reaccion tan expresiva. Diana crea una obra maestra en cada canción.,es extraordinaria ...GRACIAS!!!👏👏😊😘

Powerful performance, isn’t it? I m happy to see you watching Diana again. I also follow your reactions to Dimash))They are great!👍 Yes, you pronounce Diana’s name much better now. That guy, the famous russian singer, he’s not indifferent, he just can’t believe his ears😁

Incredibly beautiful, deep and rich voice. And every time I listen to her, I can't stop admiring how beautiful Diana is in music. I give her a standing ovation! Thank you for your reaction to Diana. I like.

This is my favorite song of hers. I was so glad to see that you reacted to it.

Это легендарное выступление Дианы, в 14 лет, принесло ей известность не только в России, но и далеко за пределами!!! Спасибо вам! Люблю ваши реакции, они настоящие!!!

This is her timeless classic. She owns this song now. It will always be an experience to listen to.

Отличная реакция! Спасибо!👍😊 Диана-Бесподобна! Диана-Браво!💫🔥💥🫶🫶🫶

Diana is magical! "Rechenka" was my introduction to Diana and so it is the most dearest to me.

She's amazing. This song and performance is "haunting" . It's breathtaking

На три вещи можно смотреть бесконечно - как горит огонь, как течёт река и как поёт diana. Спасибо за реакцию!

Всё, что она сказала о Диане Анкудиновой - не вызывает никаких возражений; но всё-таки лучшие слова прозвучали в самом начале: "если вы её не слышали, то подготовить вас к этому невозможно - настолько уникален её голос" - общий смысл таков, - и под этими словами может подписаться любой из нас. Впрочем, можно сказать, что это и есть свидетельство огромного таланта: вы никогда не бываете полностью готовы к его восприятию. Это его неотъемлемое свойство: удивлять, быть неожиданным. Сколько бы вы её не слушали, в следующий раз она всё равно вас чем-то удивит - и привыкнуть к этому невозможно. О чём эта песня? Один из ответов может быть таким: о том, что судьба бывает жестокой и несправедливой, и человек - молодая девушка - перед такой судьбой беззащитен. Единственное, что она может сделать - поставить крест на всём - и только так избежать своей участи. Почему это действует на нас так убедительно? Огромный природный талант; хорошая школа артистического и вокального мастерства; сильная личная харизма 14-ти летней девочки. И есть ещё кое-что: личный опыт преодоления несправедливой судьбы. Так убедительно это может исполнять только тот, у кого есть эта скрытая беда внутри. Преодолённая, скрытая - но не исчезнувшая без следа. Мы не только о ней знаем - мы её чувствуем. Именно этот опыт вносит ещё одну, очень важную ноту в общую звуковую картину, - если хотите, оптимистическую ноту. Мы-то с вами знаем, что девушка, поющая сейчас на сцене, только потому и выступает так убедительно и так победно, что сумела эту несправедливую судьбу пересилить, склонить на свою сторону. Если бы её судьба была счастливой с самого начала - она бы не смогла показать нам "Реченьку" в таком неотразимом виде; если бы она не вышла в итоге победителем в споре с судьбой - мы бы вообще ничего этого не увидели. Так что перед нами настоящий катарсис не только как итог великолепного представления, но и своего рода катарсис, как предварительный итог важного отрезка жизни этой удивительной девочки...

Old Russian folk song about an orphan bride who has no parents to give blessings to her marriage and she comes to the river (in ancient times river was considered a border between the living and the dead) weeping and asking her deceased mother for blessings.

вот что мы почувствовали, когда впервые услышали Диану, добро пожаловать в волшебный мир моей королевы, ее голосу нет конца, он не от мира сего. Это волшебство внутри нее! Это непостижимая сила внутри которые он так умело контролирует, превращаясь в сотни и тысячи волшебных миров в каждой песне.this is how we felt when we first heard diana, welcome to the magical world of my queen, her voice has no end, she is out of this world. This is magic inside her! This is an incomprehensible force within which he controls so skillfully, turning into hundreds and thousands of magical worlds in each song.Welcome to the magical world of diana

DIANA ANKUDINOVA SUPER STAR IN THE WORLD 🌍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all times

Диана Анкудинова - время йодль , злая игра , моя любовь !

It's just pick your mouth off the floor good and at 14yrs old to boot. Yodels, "r" trills, huge pitch swings, massive emotion, even spirits. And of course the contralto polyphonic 2x4 right in the face. Had to recommend this wonder.

The song "Rechenka" (affectionate from the word "river") is a Russian folk ritual wedding song. There is a version that this song appeared before Christianity, and since early Christianity and paganism were closely intertwined, there are many versions of this song. It tells how an orphan girl comes to the river and prays to the spirits of nature. The song is about how my mother, father and brothers were killed by enemies, there is no one to take care of her. The river in Ancient Russia was considered the border between the world of the living and the dead. You hear an ominous whisper, it's the spirit of her late mother responding to the girl's crying. There are about 30 variants of this song, but the content of each of the variants is based on the sad appeals of the orphan bride to her deceased parents, asking them for "blessings" and help for marriage, for 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. The roots of the song go back to ancient Russia, it is a very, very ancient folk folklore.

Diana's intensity is my favorite thing about her. She always seems like a sweet young lady when she's just talking, but once she starts performing, that intensity emanates from her. What a talent she is.

Diana-14yo!!! Super!!! Amazing!!! Mystical!!! Hypnotic!!! Awesome!!! Thank you!!!

Yes, the mystical, witchy, mysterious { 15 y/o here I believe ) Diana, giving us 'Rechenka'! Quite aside from her unique vocal quality and techniques, her musical intelligence is outstanding. Whilst her voice is still maturing, and skills still developing, like Dimash, she understands that her voice, her talent is a vehicle to deliver the storyline of each piece and she inhabits the character fully, as she does this - beautifully. { The story of Rechenka, as I understand it, is based on an old Russian folk story, of a young woman about to marry who goes to the river and asks the spirits there to help her communicate with the spirit of her deceased mother, to obtain her mothers blessing for this match. } Diana is an extraordinary young woman, and artist, who has not had an easy pathway to here. Not only did she have a very challenging beginning, but, I believe, her vocal coach, who had worked with her for a long time, including toward this performance, died of COVID before it went to air.

Это исполнение на многие-многие лета ! Оно даже и в веках не затеряется . Уверен !

Enjoyed your reaction, Diana was only 14 years old at the time of this performance. This was the first year she completed and you are super a competition for children who had no parents At some point in their life. And yes she did win

Why does it annoy everyone that the jury members do not react immediately!? This annual contest "You are super" is unique, there is no similar analogue abroad. It is attended by children left without parental care or who have fallen into difficult life circumstances. Before the performance, they tell the life story of each participant, believe me, sometimes it is impossible to listen without tears. After the end of the competition, these children are not left without attention, they are helped to get settled in life, continue further education in the best music schools. For example, in the second season of "You are Super" apartments were presented to all participants of the final. If you notice that the buzzer of the button is loud, and children are taking part in a television competition for the first time, for many it is excitement. Therefore, often, as it was during Diana's performance with the cover Chris Isaac "Wicked Game", Igor Krutoy (chairman of the jury) was the last to press the button so as not to interfere with the performance. Jumping up from their seats and whistling, this is not a sign of recognition of the talent of the artist. To listen to the end and appreciate the performance, that's the principle of this competition.❤️🇷🇺

Princess 👑Diana ,,Beautiful❤❤❤❤ and Out this world 🌌🌌🌌🌌one in a trillion.

It was a chock for me at the first time. I already listened Derniere Dance and another one song by Diana in this show. But anyway it chocked me absolutely.

Princess Diana amazing 🎤💎🎶🔥💥💔💯 real Queen on stage 🇬🇷🇬🇷

Diana Ankudinova had a tough childhood, but thanks to her foster loving mother, Irina Ponik ( you can see her in the video, woman in the glasses) everything has changed for the better 💕 💖 💗 so she can translate the soul of the song 🎵 and we can get all wonderful emotions 🎵 💘 💔 ✨️ ✨️ thanks a lot for your reaction, like 👍

The guy sitting back was Igor Krutoy, was her patron and was paying for her apartment and education. He would always wait to push the button until it didn't interrupt her performance. She ran away with the competition, they all knew what she could do. Krutoy is the composer and pianist for Dimash, another of your favorites. The two of them brought him out of retirement, and how could they not? When you see that talent, and you have over a billion dollars, you work for love.

That was mesmerizing!

Диана супер!!!спасибо за реакции

Thanks!Thanks for reaction!Thanks for nice comment!👍👏

Yes, this is how she is, our Diana, no one can sing like that!!!💚❤️💜

Amazing, and she was only 14 at the time of this performance. 14!

Pure Art! ❤️

Диана 🖐🖐🖐👏👏👏👏👏👏🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🌹🌹🌹

Привет ✌👋🙌 из Омска 🌇!!! В 14 лет делать такие даже не песни, а целые спектакли, это может только Диана!!!

Thx, lady!!!

Thanks for the Splendid Great kind reaction! This is an old wedding ritual song, it's like a puzzle, it consists of phrases taken from ritual songs. Where it is sung in a whisper is like the words of a deceased mother, because in Russia since ancient times it was believed that the river is the border between the world of the living and the dead, as in the mythology of others countries. So the girl-orphan came to the river to tell the mother that she was being given away for the unloved, to a strange family, ask for blessings and cry.

Фантастическое выступление Дианы! И отличная позитивная реакция! Диане - браво, а за реакцию - лайк и спасибо! Diana's fantastic performance! And a great positive reaction! Diana - bravo, and for the reaction - like and thanks!

That young lady has some serious stage presence doesn’t she?

The message of God in the form of Angel Diana has finally reached the hearts and souls of many people living on planet Earth.

Спасибо за реакцию.Я подписалась.

As another southern woman you just going to have to get over the fact we can't pronounce English correctly much less foreign languages but that's okay that make us unique too, yes it was a talent show I think she's Russia and a very sad childhood history, her voice is a special type of alto that of course I can't remember right now, when I find these unique I love to investigate their history, I too have a heart condition but I spend a lot of time in bed I entertain myself and I really enjoy your channel God bless

One of my favorite her song is MY LOVE. Some other is not bad it all, such PERSONAL JESUS, TWISTING MY SOBRIETIS, PUTTING ON THE RITZ, CROW, MOM I'M DANCING, FEELING GOOD, IT'S A MAN WORLD, WICKED GAME, HIMAN, WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD. She has lot's of more songs in russian, spanish, french and even arabic song.

The final song of the first competition on NTV "You are super". Diana is 14 years old. The first, last dance, the second, the male world. Second competition 15 years, Last dance. Human. Tomorrow is a lie 👉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLF6qLCZ0rzdmWg.html Диана Анкудинова (5 лет) - Валенки 👈👉The song "River" is an old folk song, a wedding song. The song is about a girl whose parents have died, who wants to get married, but cannot without her parents' permission. She talks to the spirits on the river and asks for help.👈👈

Ди, прекрасна 👏👏👏

More than once the thought has already been voiced that Dimash is the Space, and Diana is mother Earth. I advise you to listen Wicked game, Human and highly Can't help falling in love.

Mezmerizing! Cheers!

Amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Para nada es autotune,es así de impresionante su voz, ella es polifonica puede hacer varias notas con su increíble voz al mismo tiempo, ella es la tan llamada REINA DE LA PIEL DE GALLINA solo mírala es mágica tan magnífica como Dimash

Диана супер!!!!! Реакции респект!

Hi! thanks for your reaction!!! please check out ... Crow... and wicked game... you will love them too!!!

Loved your reaction! I do recommend “Blizzard” from “You are Super”. I never get tired of listening to her and this was when she was 15. To pronounce correctly and it took me a while too is pronounced DeeAnna Ank coo DEEN ova. Just practice stressing the DEEN. Also listening to her name being mentioned in some of her performances really helps. Getting there. Pretty much anything she sings is remarkable and goosebump producing. This marvelous artist sings her soul and is, imo a true siren. Enjoy your journey with her amazing abilities. Much love and appreciation from California.❤️🌈🍀🙏🏻😇❣️

Спасибо🥰😍😘

😊👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Да,Дианочка,ты уникальная певица! Жаль,что даже музыка политизирована, из за дурости и глупости "сильных "мира сего...Тебе бы на международную Арену!!! Ты уникальна,как и Димаш! Прекрасная реакция ! Искренняя и заслуженная! Спасибо за это!

The judges were already enchanted by Diana the moment she came on stage on the first episode of the show, performing Dernière Danse (Last Dance). You can witness this moment in your next reaction to her here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7lyi7F70srNlmw.html

👍👍👍

This is my favorite Diana performance, with Can't Help second place, Derniere Danse third, Blizzard fourth, and Helwa Ya Baladi fifth.

Hey Debbie. Okay, maybe Dianna has made me cry as much as Floor (and that ex girlfriend) 🤣 ✌&❤

You will have to react to her performing to “Wicked Game” off this same show in the second year she competed in the winners edition. At age 15, the one you just reacted to she was 14 yrs old. I’ve been listening to her for over 2 years now and never get tired of listening to her amazing vocals with each and every song.🙏🏼🌹

Diana is only 14 y.o. here !👸🌠🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶👍🏽👍🏽😍❤❤⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

I think her best song is 'Cant Help Fallin in Love'. If you have not reacted to it yet, please do!

Rechenka/ Little River You are a river, my little river. You flow, ceaselessly. you are a child, my baby (*Mother whisper) You sit there and don't smile. Oh, sweet girlfriends, yes, my loves, Oh, there's nothing to be happy about. Oh, nothing that makes me smile. We have horses, the yard is full, And the room is full of guests. I have neither father nor mother No one to bless me... Loss You are a river, my little river. You flow, ceaselessly. you are a child, my baby You sit there and don't smile. Folksong (lyric-text)

Королева мурашек - без вариантов.

Голос, песня, исполнение, Диана- шедевр!

Hi😂

Бедная женщина! Почти всю песню натурально ,челюсть в пол!😜😁😀👍👏 Глаза по 5 копеек! Я в восторге от композиции и реакции.

Just a schoolgirl throwing down a legendary performance...

Diana Ankudinova es la versión femenina de Dimash Qudaibergen son impresionantes y espectaculares

Это детский вокальный конкурс Ты супер для детей из малообеспеченных,неполных семей,для детей-сирот или оставшихся без попечения родителей.Есть еще такой же Ты Супер 60+,в нем участвуют одинокие пожилые люди.Смысл тот же.Участники выступают,судьи нажимают зеленые кнопки.Трех зеленых кнопок достаточно чтобы пройти в полуфинал.В полуфинале нужно чтобы все четыре кнопки были нажаты.В финале кнопки уже не нажимаются.Победителя выбирают судьи.Диане здесь 14 лет,это второй сезон проекта и она его выиграла как выиграла и третий сезон(участвовали финалисты прошлых сезонов)На четвертый сезон Диана была приглашена в качестве почетного гостя и исполняла уже свою песню В небо.Советую ее послушать,в ней Диана звучит совсем иначе,ее голос как чистый ручеек)

The judges were stunned. They almost forgot to hit their buzzers...

💣💥💫🔥🔥🔥🔥👍

Great reaction Debbie!

❤

Дианочка это просто фантастика ❤❤❤

If enthusiasm was a voice: when she starts to sing the main part of the song.

Почему жюри просто так сидят там, они должны быть ошеломлённые? Да по этому и сидят, потому-что ошеломлённые.😄

🌠🔥

its the show where the musicians start with their back to the singer and hit and button and turn around if they like the vocalist European version of "the voice" i believe its called. AND if memory serves this is an verison of the song by HIM in her own language. Shes super super talented!!!

Thanks.

Wow, wow, immer wieder WOW 🤩!!!!
