![]() ![]() From the 3:15 mark, it's nothing but goosebumps and the level of anticipation that rivals a bottle of champagne that's dangerously close to exploding. It doesn't matter that Zhang's performance was recorded five months ago, because it's worth seeing and hearing. She's considered one of the biggest pop stars in China, has already been featured on Oprah, and it's easy to see why in the video below. When opera singer Inva Muls came for the part, 'she sang 85 of what Eric thought was technically impossible', the rest being assembled in the studio. The lovely clarionet obligato in the symphony of the tenor air is a gem of. The Chinese singer Jane Zhang, however, has done the impossible. TIL that in the operatic song in The Fifth Element, composer Eric Sierra 'purposely wrote un-singable things' so she’d sound like an alien. The cast, at Tuesday's revival included Malle Angri, her first appearance. E ric Serra tells us about the notorious diva scene, in The Fifth Element, played by his girlfriend at the time Mawenn, and of which he composed the music.Translated by Antonin Pruvot In that scene Mawenn plays the diva but the voice is not hers, it is the one of a true opera singer, the Albanian Inva Mula. In order to record the song for the film, Mula had to sing the notes individually, at which point they were digitally combined into one track. ![]() Sara recently stepped down after almost a decade singing with The Swingles, and we Swingle Singers in Russia.

Instead, Mula told him that it wasn't humanly possibly to hit some of the notes, because a human voice couldn't change so quickly between them.
