For reasons that are unimportant, I was looking for a choir-backed version of My Heart Will Go On and came across this one from the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and... y'all
Y'all
This is amazing. The lead singers? Perfection. The arrangement? Perfection. I was crying.
Then I see in the description: This performance was a part of the film music concert Hollywood Gala.
['Diva Dance Comes on in Minute 3:20 if you're the type who skips to the point.]... So... Because I was looking for videos to give me that serotonin boost, I went deep into FailTube. I don't know why all of a sudden my algorithm started to recommend me people analyzing this one girl who was able to sing the 'Diva Dance' song from that fun movie from 1997 [yeah I have to give the year out, so some of you babies can look it up. Also I have provided the scene here. Hopefully it works for everyone.] . [fun hyper fixation thing coming up... read at your own risk. No TW... unless operatic singers make you sad then... I guess don't read.]
So anyway... A few notes on this song. [The Diva Song.... That is the 'original' song added to the end of the legit opera song the alien Diva sang. It's attached to it. You have to see the scene to know which one it is. But yeah...]
It was 'purposefully' made so that 'NO HUMAN' could sing it. And while that's not at all true. They could sing it, but obviously it doesn't sound the way it does in the movie, because obviously the voice was modulated to sound 'Out of This World'. This character here only has this one scene, so she had to make an impact. She's supposed to be a DIVA. An Interstellar DIVA who has the most beautiful voice ever, obviously.
Throughout many years, after 1997, there have been many many renditions of this song. And the few singers who have tried to tackle it and tried to sing it, have not really failed, but have tried their hardest to make it sound the same or like they can achieve it. While they may have achieved some notes, most if not all, have failed in some parts where the song reaches some crazy changes in the notes.
Fastforward to TODAY, and the girl that covered it on TikTok and YouTube and made her rendition go VIRAL. WHY? Because... Well... Just take a look at this rendition, by the beautiful singer. Her name is Ñusta Picuasi, and she's from Ecuador. Like I have said, many an Opera singers have tried to replicate the song. Heck, even the lady that sang it originally cannot sing it so perfectly. You can tell they struggled in some of those combinations of notes.
This is Ñusta: [please turn on your sound, if you haven't already. Hopefully you've seen the original I posted here too.]

So in conclusion, and this is my personal opinion, I am by no means a professional at singing or know shit about it to be clear. However, this is how I think she achieved it. SHE SIMPLIFIED!!! No for real. She knew the limits of her voice, and because she knew, she used those limits and ACHIEVED the impossible. I mean, I hear a lot of people saying this song is impossible. And in my mind I was always like... Well... DUH, it's got some computerized elements in it, of course it's going to be hard. And well, that was the purpose of it... But... uh... Ñusta just said... 'Uh... Not on my watch. Check it out, it's so easy to SING... "
and just like her... I'm like.. "Pheeeewwww..." you're right. You're so right. lol.
Would Eddie be the good cop to Diva Wally's bad cop? Would Eddie address human employees' screwups with a disappointed-yet-kind-and-patient approach?
Kind of. Eddie can’t do much, he just sorta follows Wally around and apologizes for him. This does irritate Wally because it’s messing with authority with the staff but he can’t get mad at his friend for it. Eddie’s working up the courage to try to say something about his behavior, soon.
