Rechenka is an old Russian Folksong. This is an old ritual song about an orphan bride. The girl has no parents. The river was considered the boundary between the world of the living and the dead. She goes to the river and asks for the blessing of marriage. She says that there are many people at home, but there is no father and mother. You hear Diana singing in a whisper. These are the words of the deceased mother of the bride. Then the girl is crying. In Russia, at weddings they sang sad songs to scare away evil and the marriage of a young couple was to be happy. Such songs were called ·weeping.· The figures behind Diana are spirits of water and forest. she is an orphan being given away in marriage to the unloved. She is asking for blessings from her deceased mother for a marriage that will not be a happy one. The children in the yard are playing and laughing, but wondering why the girl is so sad; they are not celebrating. In the boat she is going to her wedding with resignation towards a sad life. Here is a translation of the lyrics. (quotes are mine, not part of song) (asking for blessing) Oh river, my dear river ! You flow, and never waver ... (Deceased Mothers response) Oh baby, my dear child ! Why are you sitting, and not smiling ? (spooky voice) Oh girls, my dear friends ! Why would I rejoice ? Why would I smile ? Our homestead is full of horses, Our room is full of guests ! I have neither mother nor father ! There is no-one to bless me ! (wailing yodel) Oh river, my dear river ! You flow, and never waver ... (resigned to a sad life in the boat)

Welcome to the wild, wild EAST...their cultural origins are different than most Americans..but, she is SPECTACULAR! And 14yo there....(!)

This harkens back to an ancient, pre-Christian tradition where the river represents barrier between life and death. A young bride on her wedding day is sad because her parents are dead & can't be there for her.

Hi guys! Fourteen-year-old Diana confirmed her title as the queen of goosebumps. :) She'll be eighteen at the end of May.

Listening to that performance is almost a spiritual experience.

Let me explain what happens when all 4 judges slap their buttons. Diana sings a Russian folk song, and folklore is a very conservative genre, because folklore is much about old traditions which need to be cherished. But Diana uses yodeling elements in her vocals, which are NOT a part of the Russian tradition. The classic yodel is usual in Southern Germany or Switzerland. Most likely, at first, the judges are simply shocked. Diana breaks the canonical tradition, and no one can pass by without noticing that. But Diana uses the yodel extremely accurately, in a dosed manner (and in a modified, not classic form) - to convey the drama of the situation in the song (I feel that in this place the heroine is crying, perhaps this can be called 'an internal cry'). This is so appropriate and convincing that the judges are unanimous.

На этом видео Диане 14 лет ( "Злая игра " исполнена Дианой в 15 лет ) . Диана узнаваема с первой ноты , нет больше такого вокалиста , её не с кем сравнить и ни с кем не спутать . Не нужно слушать оригинал песни , любой кавер Дианы лучше оригинала . )

Russian folk song she covered. Her hand movements were signifying the river

Yeah, everything you said! Haha ... What's also impressive is how she stays on beat in the first and third parts of the song (the slower parts). There's no rhythm, per say, in those two sections - just basically a musical drone - yet she's flawless in her accuracy.

Sounds like Asia the reviewer has a voice herself. I heard you

The last is ( Into The Skies ) music video .

I forgot to add... In the song she is representing the sounds of wind, the trees swaying, the movement and what the waves of the river sound like, the sound of a birds or maybe owl, wolves. Yes a little of chanting...maybe. Diana has been called "Mother Natures voice"; "The Goddess of Nature" and other similar statements...For reasons I think all understand after listening to her.

👉 Rechenka/ River - This is an old Russian ritual song: An orphan girl should to get married and goes to the river, the border between the living and the dead, and asks her mother for the blessing (mother's whisper) ... The horses are in the courtyard. The guests are gathered and the wedding celebration begins. In Russia, it was customary to sing sad songs at weddings to scare off evil. This should drive away evil spirits and bring good luck. Such songs were called 'crying'. Diana's rendition of this song is spectacular, mysterious... great!... everytime. Lately she sang this song acapella, also to prove that she sings live without a synthesizer or anything like that. In 2018 Diana sang this song in the singing competition 'You are super' (she was 14 years old). She won and received international attention. Since then, millions of people have followed her on KZfaq and her worldwide fan base is growing rapidly. The musical project “You are super! can give to children who do not have a prosperous childhood, not only positive emotions, but also hope for changes in their fates. Eighty children from various countries can now take part, understanding that they have outstanding talents. Only the best of the best will be able to complete all the selections. The winner of the season will be determined by a 6-day public vote. The final of the international singing competition for children 'You are Super' took place in the Kremlin Palace. Diana won a scholarship to the music college and Igor Krutoy, music titan in Russia (billionaire), a world-famous composer, sponsor and mentor in Russia, here, as a juror, gifted her a small apartment in Moscow so that she could begin her vocal training with the best teachers in Moscow such as Professor Olga Donskoy (She died of Covid-19 in October 2020.) Now, Diana is a student at the Russian Institute of Theater Arts (similar to Juilliard). Alla Pugacheva, a famous Russian singer, sang this song before, but completely different. Here she is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z856l71pyN_VdJs.html 🌼🇩🇪

This is why she is The Goddess Voice of Nature.

Great reaction to see. Yeah Diana basically turned me into a Russian when I listed to this song.

Folks...you better have your hand on the phone when she announces that she is doing an American tour. Because that will be one HOT TICKET!! 💥♨️🔥

❤DianAngel❤

When Diana covers a song it's like "Yeah I guess that's your song now, huh?" 😅

Thank you for your reaction!

This kind of artistry at 14. Mind-boggling. She shouldn't be compared to anybody, she's a breed apart.

Super Diana-14 y.o!!! Amazing!!! Awesome!!!! Thank you!!!

You were warned that you had not heard or seen anything yet...😉!! It took 3 performances for her to get BJ's soul out into her worlds but we knew "Rechenka" Could not be resisted! 14 years old and she Was stacking them high! I would recommend listening to it a couple more times because much can be missed on the first listen to this perfomance. Great Reaction!

Diana Ankudinova is like Cher, Toni Braxton, and Sade rolled in one. You she see her sing in French the song is derniere danse

i just say "wicked game" with her!

I liked how you described it as chanting. All part of the mystical woodland creature feeling with mother Earth that draws you in. I have often heard Diana described as the personification of Mother Earth. This becomes even more true in her own original song "Into The Skies", which is very beautiful. The chanting as you said... Here she is really using her yodeling skills. 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. It has been part of traditional singing in many countries. 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 .... Yodel time with Diana: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLGUqcSI2MqdYYU.html

With her singing technics, she showed a river waving, birds screaming, and ancient forest ghosts whispering. When she went all the way down, she depicted a bride's weeping which went deeper and deeper in her heart. Her singing tells stories!

Thank you for your reaction to "Rechenka" (endearing name for a little river)!

We are so blessed to have Diana, Angelina and Dimash as gifts from God to entertain and uplift us!

She is one hell of a Yodeler!👍

Take a look at her version of Human for something a little different. Derniere Danse is also great. It was the first song she did on this show I believe so nobody knew what to expect. There are also some later versions of it that she performed on what appears to be some charity fundraiser shows or something

Greetings from Scotland! Everyone else has already said everything I would usually say (Thanks guys!) So I'll just say what you said Asia - "This girl is magic y'all, seriously!" Diana is unique, and very special, without equal for sure! Great reaction!

Hi! Tanks For your reaction! You don't just hear the jodel )) Diana owns it too. Hear her performance Jodel Time

This song is so mesmerizing. I love the shamanistic style and er performance is awesome. Another reactor said when nature ha a voice, it is hers. 100% agree that

14 yrs old y’all! This young lady is unique and one of a kind. She out performs most music singers by a landslide. We are blessed to be able to hear her songs. She is growing both vocally and in beauty. Got to get the reaction to “Yodel time” it will break your heart that none of the judges turned around yet the crowd gave her a standing ovation for 5 minutes. Great reaction, God bless🙏🏼

Now you gotta do her “Human” performance 😃🙏🏼❤️

Thank you for your emotions and attention to Diana's work.

Diana Ankudinova-Light Princess of the Stage ! Disney crafts princesses, Russia gives birth to them.

All on business. Splendid 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.

Diana's vocal skills are unmatched and the way she performs is incredible. She is an amazingly theatrical performer with a deep, primal voice. She's unique. The song is based on an Russian folk story of an orphan girl bemoaning the loss of her mother before her wedding feast.

❤️👍 "Man's man's world", please! 🤗

Я был уверен, что вам понравится это гениальное исполнение песни Дианой.

The singing of Diana is always magic, shamanism! Ancient as this russian ritual song of the orphan bride. Everything is in the house, but there is no mother and father. No one will bless the bride. Only the river-time flows and stands at the same time. You are a river, my river. You flow, not splashing. You are a child, yes my child, You sit, but not smile. Oh, my girlfriends, yes, my lovely, Oh, Nothing pleases me. Oh, nothing smiled at me. Many horses in the yard, Many guests in our house. I have no father, mother, No one will bless me ... You are a river, my river. You flow, not splashing.

This song has a unique flow that feels like a flowing river. It sounds like enchanting, misterious a force to be reckon with and interesting that the word "RECHENKA means river.

Great reaction- quite appropriate for a great singer.

you guys have a long list of incredible presentations of Diana 😏😏

Dimash is the Sun and Diana is the Moon. Dimash is the sky and Diana is the earth. Great reaction guys. Isn't she so unique and precious?! Here is another version of Rechenka, that Diana did in a smaller more intimate setting. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKmdm9top8rOaYU.html No one ever does reactions to this one and honestly - a bit like Dimash's different versions of SOS, I can't say I like one more than another because they each have subtle and pleasing differences. I am not the only one hoping that one day we will see a Dimash / Diana duet. Wouldn't that rock the world!

Princess Diana is real Queen on stage 🎤💎🎶🌟🔥💥💔💔💔💔 greetings from Greece 🇬🇷❤️🇬🇷

Hello. Yeah, you got it. A "masterpiece of art" for all time. "Divine Diana Diva". All the best and greetings from Germany.

My recomendation for listening would be Diana's cover of "Rise like a phoenix" from her concert in Togliatti, video have timecodes for songs in description.

Good thing you had your seats belts fastened because Diana still almost brought both of you out of your seats. You can easily see how deep in the zone she gets and emotionally involved in her performance. For Diana it’s not just about singing, it’s also about the total performance. There’s one song that actually made her cry at the end. Besides songs in her native Russian, she does them in French, Spanish, Arabic, and English. Don’t hesitate to react to her non-English songs because just the timbre of her voice is worth the price of admission. I’m a musician too and I’m enjoying your reactions very much! Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. God bless!

Вы попали на гипнотический, спиритический, магический, фантастический, лечебный сеанс.Мурашки вам в помощь.Сеанс прошел успешно! 👍

She like Dimash and Hua Chenyu can not be put in a box or compared to anyone else. They are all just incredibly unique. If you have not checked out Hua Chenyu... you so need to. He is another brilliant artist from China. One minute he sings ballads, one minute he is rocking out, the next minute he is rapping, the next minute it is a theatrical performance that has you crying your eyes out. Chenyu, Nunchucks is a good start because he changes several times in one song.

Мурашки от нашей Дианушки❤👍

In few weeks she will be 18 yo (May 31). Here she was 14 yo. Diana is a must listen for a Dimash fan. Like Lara Fabian also. And the Koreean Queen - Sohyang.

Thank you for the video, for Diana's high rating. Wonderful voice!!! Diana Is A Miracle!!! Unique, talented, the best!!! Diana sings in 6 languages. He has something else to surprise you with. Make reactions to the songs of Human. We are waiting for more reactions!!!

Derniere Danse and Blizzard are two more mind blowing performances.Nice reaction by the way

So glad you found our lil' princess of the wild! Dimash recommended support for her as well. She's now studying at a music academy in Russia. Most mainstream singers need special effects to make that sound and Diana does it with her vocal chords! She's super amazing!!🧡❤🧡🤗

Спасибо за вашу искренность

she legit takes you on a journey, and the performance is out of this world. To me its like she's freestyling with her voice taking chances other singers wouldn't dare..

Никогда не воспринимаю всерьёз эти рассказы про "мурашки", но "goosebumps city" улыбнуло🙂 Если они продолжат реагировать на Диану, то какая песня следующая? Derniere Danse?

You guys should react to Diana singing "Human" on this show. That's also really good!

Great reaction guy’s. Diana is amazing! To think she was only 14yo here is almost unbelievable. You are right, she is simply Diana and no one else is like her. She is simply enchanting

Диана 🌹Diana is the latin's name of the Goddess🌹 initially👉🗣️ as Dee Anna🌹🌹🌹 as Di:A:na:🌹🌹🌹russian's name Диана=latin's name Diana🌹 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

Hello Asia and BJ, thanks for your wonderful reaction! Oddly enough, Cher and Diana have, in a sense, common genetics: the ancestors of both singers have origin in the South Caucasus. Very talented and beautiful people live there.

Diana is the queen of goosebumps!

Diana is gifted too, her voice transmits magic and her stage presence is shamanic!!! I love his style!!

Спасибо за реакцию ❤️ 👍 🇷🇺

Great reactions! Diana, Dimash, and SoHyang. These three singers on KZfaq are the best and most interesting in my opinion. Please check out SoHang. You won’t be disappointed.

you need to check out "take on me" a song I've always liked but I love what Diana did with it😍 also check out Havana where you get to see a bit more of her personality✌

Диана с этой песней, как в кино, смотрела бы и смотрела...

Фантастическое выступление Дианы! Хорошая позитивная реакция! Диане - браво, а за реакцию - лайк! Подписка! Diana's fantastic performance! Good positive reaction! Diana - bravo, and for the reaction - like! Subscription!

She was doing forest and river sounds. Thank you for reacting to Rechenka. Agree totally, her voice is incomparable. Stay with her as new music arrives. She will be releasing an album - hopefully soon.

Please react to Dimash’s performance of “Diva Dance” from his Bastau concert (make sure to pick that particular performance). It is the song the “alien” character in the movie The Fifth Element sang. It was so difficult for a human to sing that for the movie they had used computer-generated voice to sing it but fast forward to years later where Dimash with his inhumanly human voice nails it so perfectly.

If there is such a thing at all, then it can be said about this, this is the voice of Mother Earth ... Nothing less than that ... a masterpiece for all time ...

Любой утонет в реченьке по имени Диана!

Диана-супер! 👍👍👍👏👏👏💕💕💕

Her voice is so haunting, absolutely beautiful gorgeous she’s my dark angel, my Russian princess, the best ever

It is sang by another great Russian singer Alla Pugachova but initially it was a rock song. Diana made it her own. The song is called “The river” and it was the river flowing. The moments when she was howling, she was singing how the river is lonely and has neither mother nor a father which is even more heart ringing because she was abused and abandoned by her own mother. However, she finally found a great home and a devoted mother…

She gently reaches into your body with both hands, and lifts your soul out of your body. Then transports it to her world. Hours later your soul finds it's way back to your body, never to be the same ever again.

Check out Ksenia Bahchalova with a song Spring will come but not for me. Ксения Бахчалова - Не для меня придет весна.

Diana doesn't sing covers..............she makes them better, makes it her own. When your that Great, you can do that. Diana is a Superstar
