Dianna singing 17 years ago.
Added 2023-08-31 23:05:55 +0000 UTCBecause a lot of you pointed out Dianna's singing in a recent post, she wanted to share with you guys that it's always been a passion of hers. Dianna's mom dug this video up of Dianna at age 17(half her age now, 34) singing and playing the piano. She wanted to share it here with you guys.
Small Health Update - Dianna has been coming out of a crash for the past few weeks. She thinks this crash has set back her recovery by months. She still looks better than she used to, but the crash from last month wiped her out bad and she's been in a lot of mental pain the past few weeks.
Thank you guys so much for being here and helping us through this.

2024-06-28 08:52:20 +0000 UTCWow such a great performance! And had no idea we are the same age. Crazy! Get well soon Diana!

2024-01-15 07:01:04 +0000 UTCNot sure what I expected when I started that video, but certainly not such a powerful opera quality voice. Hope you'll have enough power some time in the not too distant future for something like this. Not that I expect you to do such a performance, just wish you the power to do so, if you choose.

2023-12-23 01:01:48 +0000 UTCYou are showcasing the virtuosity of bel canto training here; I know you have done videos on resonant frequencies of glass before, but I think it would be fascinating to do a deeper dive on the amplitude allowed by true professional classical/bel canto training. (Once you are well enough, of course!)

2023-12-16 13:10:30 +0000 UTCReally impressive. 2006 eh? Feels like yesterday to me. That was when I was 24, was the year that my now sister in law had my niece, the first daughter of the next generation of our family and where 2 mind blowing films called "Click" and "Idiocracy" came out. Back then, Idiocracy was considered comedy - now it's a prophecy (see that they predicted that crocs were the shoes of the future) :-O

2023-10-12 23:44:53 +0000 UTCDianna, you are an exceptional person! If you ever need a lung transplant, let me know- you can have one of mine. Ooops- sorry, I had to duck a neutrino that almost hit me.

2023-10-07 13:51:57 +0000 UTCHello Physics Girl Team, This is just a suggestion, but have you ever considered consolidating your channel with (for instance) Geo Girls Team? Both ladys are professional and really make me and others happy when you get so excited when you teach us. You could outrank PBS. Just a thought. Bob

Gary Grenier
2023-09-18 15:06:04 +0000 UTCHi this is fantastic! Thanks for sharing!!!! Check out this new research on ME/CFS! The mitochondria (ATP Synthase specifically) are my favorite biological structures (they literally work like a 7800 RPM water wheel adding potential energy to make ATP!). In this case a high level of a certain protein was seen to literally jamb up the tiny machines drastically reducing energy production and hence the body has less free ATP to use!!!! https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2023/09/17/fatigue-cfs-longcovid-mitochondria/
Gary Grenier
2023-09-18 15:04:57 +0000 UTCFANTASTIC! Look forward to you chiming samples in on a future episode where you explore all the physics of music ala Gรถdel, Escher, Bach!

2023-09-12 18:00:15 +0000 UTCListening and watching your video, now, finally, and such a sweet delight your singing of one of my favorite operas. Scene 5 opening with Rosina.

Dianna, thank you for sharing that wonderful gem. I'm sorry you're still in the dark but I know that performance has brought a lot of light to those of us who viewed it. It did to me. Thank you :)
Robert Evans
2023-09-02 00:02:25 +0000 UTCThe crash setback is existentially frustrating, and I'm glad to hear she is feeling stronger. I'm blown away by the performance. I am deeply impressed by Dianna's musical talent! She has a wonderful voice and plays piano brilliantly!

Also, why some people, such as you, can sing like an angel, while others, like me, can't carry a tune in a bucket. :D Love you and wishing you the speediest of recoveries.

Dr Andy Hill
2023-09-01 09:59:30 +0000 UTCDude! That's actually a pretty good voice! In my experience singing can be good for mental health, I would give it a shot. Humming tunes, any tune you like. The vibrations are soothing and help bring your emotions to the surface to process them better. Maybe even write a song, but put some hope in it! I've been having a rough time lately too, feeling like life is cornering me, but there's always something to be grateful for. I remind myself, even though I have no true good friends right now, that I have my health. Perhaps you don't have your health, but you have your friends, a husband that loves you, and all the people, real people, even if they don't feel like that when the only thing you see are comments, that care for you. It's a beautiful gift. Make your Mettle from what you have around you. In your case it's Nuts, music and Love. Find joy in what you can. A breath, a sunny moment. Turn off the expectations of coming back to the way it was. Life isn't going to be like it was, but it's like the way it is, and there's something you can do about that. But only if you accept the road to recovery. Be strong, and I think I'm saying this for you as much I am saying it for myself right now, but FIGHT! Hope you don't mind my long ass philosophical rambling! Much Love โค๐๐

Jonas Wahlfrid
2023-09-01 06:03:07 +0000 UTCI hope Dianna a speedy recovery. I am not a medical professional but there seems to be a lot of literature regarding long COVID lately that points to micro blood clots for the cause of many long COVID symptoms, including ME/CFS and POTS. Have the physicians tried prescribing a cocktail of anti-coagulants? Here is one of the articles that talks about efficacy of anti-coagulants: https://www.healthrising.org/blog/2023/04/04/coagulation-long-covid-chronic-fatigue-fibromyalgia/ Again, I am not a medical professional. Maybe the physicians and the family have looked at various possibilities including anti-coagulant treatments. If not, maybe it is worth a shot to discuss with her physicians. I just don't want to leave stones unturned.

How do we begin to celebrate what a wondrous thing it is to be alive in this world. Keeping you in our thoughts. ~ Kim and Michael

2023-09-01 01:50:14 +0000 UTCOh wow, I'm blown away by Dianna all over again. Thank you, Dianna, for sharing that, and my thanks to your Mom for providing the recording. I couldn't make out what you said before you fixed the microphone; did you say what pieces you would be perfroming? I'm especially curious about the piano piece, because I used to play too. I'm so sorry to here about your latest crash. Are your vitamin D levels being monitored, so they can be supplemented if need be? Judging from the few photos we've seen of where you spend your days, you don't get a lot of sunlight, from which to synthesize your own vitamin D, yet it's important for maintaining the immune system and preventing depression. Just a thought from someone else who's dealt with severe medical headwinds, and studied the piano and physics. I start a graduate class in Quantum Field Theory in a few days.

2023-09-01 01:04:40 +0000 UTCWow! That's an unbelievable musical talent! Dianna is awesome.
Marcio Paduan Donadio
2023-09-01 00:56:46 +0000 UTCSo talented and welcoming with her warmness! As in all her videos. May she soon recovers, we're all here wishing you the best.

Lynne Newberry
2023-09-01 00:43:44 +0000 UTC๐ฎ As has been said, I expected a pop song or perhaps a Broadway song... not Italian opera! Is there nothing this woman can't do?!? ๐ Brava!

2023-09-01 00:37:05 +0000 UTCDianna is such a gifted young woman! Thanks to her for remembering her artistic passion, to her mom for locating the video, and to everyone else who was involved in posting it. It will be amazing when she is able to share all of her talents with the world again in the familiar exuberant love of life she conveys in her videos!
Michael Lanier
2023-09-01 00:34:45 +0000 UTCWow, I've been to many operas and I am without a doubt completely blown away by that talent! Dianna is just full of wonderful surprises. I'm waiting for the day we get the next gift of her recovery :)
Jonathan Bradshaw
2023-09-01 00:28:51 +0000 UTCHoly smackums!!! That was awesome!!! I don't think there's anything Dianna can't do if she wanted to.
Joseph Murphy
2023-09-01 00:25:48 +0000 UTCWow! That's amazing!
Scott Reynolds
2023-09-01 00:23:59 +0000 UTCHonestly wish there was more we could do to help. She is in my thoughts and hopes that something is found to help her recover.
Jessica M Kelsey
2023-09-01 00:20:54 +0000 UTCWow! Mind blown!! What incredible talent, all around!
Brian Eddy
2023-09-01 00:18:13 +0000 UTCI wish there was a way to volunteer to cover Dianna's sickness for a while... So she can feel healthier again. I bet there are hundreds of people that would sacrifice a day of feeling horrible in order to allow Dianna to Feel better for a bit, meanwhile the volunteer feels miserable for a day, but if there were enough volunteers to share the misery, it wouldn't be too horribly bad for anyone and Dianna could get her life back. I know it's not realistic, but it's just so incredibly unfair to Dianna.

quietssstorm
2023-09-01 00:12:24 +0000 UTCThat was beautiful. When she started to sing I was taken aback as I was expecting something mainstream. Amazing voice. I pray that she recovers. I have two daughters that Iโve shared her videos with. Sheโs an amazing role model.

SeattleDan
2023-09-01 00:06:06 +0000 UTCWow! She can sing and play piano. Very impressive. ๐ My niece should know Donna in the future. She plays violin and maybe some piano too, and she might be on the way into STEM subjects.
Willy Kang
2023-09-01 00:05:52 +0000 UTCAmazing DIanna! I hope, we all hope, that you return to health and look forward to you plaguing too many people with visits!

Dana Latta
2023-08-31 23:36:12 +0000 UTCWOW! I knew she had some interest in music, but I had no idea. Her singing: power, range, articulation, precision... this gives a whole new dimension to her wine glass breaking and singing into a tube videos. I hope she is able to listen to music during this long road to recovery.
Jonathan Tunik
2023-08-31 23:35:58 +0000 UTCWow ๐ฎ Sheโs a great singer!!! ๐ถ
Marvin Tran
2023-08-31 23:33:41 +0000 UTCOf course she sings opera and plays the piano, from memory no less! She can do anything. So talented. Oh to be of a mind and spirit as hers.
goroberts56 .
2023-08-31 23:32:11 +0000 UTCI fully expected her singing to be pleasant but, wow, talk about blowing away my expectations, she's so good!
Curtis Vickery
2023-08-31 23:31:40 +0000 UTCWhat a beautifully talented lady. Now I understand how Dianna shattered that crystal glass with her voice. Amazing!
Anne Smith
2023-08-31 23:29:43 +0000 UTCI knew Dianna was talented, but holy cow! Beautiful voice! Thank you so much for sharing that. Send her all our love!

2023-08-31 23:27:41 +0000 UTCWow. So much vocal control at a young age. Amazing
Barry McKinnon
2023-08-31 23:24:53 +0000 UTCAmazing! My parents are both musicians and my Dad worked at the Chicago Lyric Opera for many years so I grew up around many beautiful voices like Dianna's! Can't wait for that voice to return fully recovered and healthy.
James Morehead
2023-08-31 23:24:32 +0000 UTCDiana, that was an incredible performance. The unexpected turn was when you started playing piano. I legit started clapping at the end and my wife looked at me like I was nuts. ETA: oh I didn't meant to use the word nuts - sorry about that.
David Mueller
2023-08-31 23:22:52 +0000 UTCI love this! So talented in so many ways.... get better Dianna, we miss you so much on Youtube!
Robert Oswin
2023-08-31 23:22:46 +0000 UTCSo I'm an opera singer and voice teacher and for the record it is *extremely* unusual to give this aria to a 17 year old. Impressive. It's odd how well music and the sciences go together - I know so many who do both. I myself initially intended to study astronomy and ended up choosing music when it became clear I didn't have time to double major for my scholarship. So cool to see, we're all thinking of her!
Gregory Storkan
2023-08-31 23:22:39 +0000 UTCWe've been hustled. The whole point of the wine-glass video was could a normal person do it? Diana's answer was yes, but now we find out that she doesn't have a normal-person singing voice.
David Iverson
2023-08-31 23:22:29 +0000 UTCThat's the Dianna we expect to see after a full recovery. Thank you for posting this!
B T
2023-08-31 23:20:12 +0000 UTCThanks so much for this. I love the fact that Diana is a musician as well. She is so talented and I agree what an amazing voice and pair of hands. What is the name and who is the composer of the beautiful piano piece. I have never heard it before. It is amazing how music and science often go together so well. I am convinced that music is critical for our brians' development.

2023-08-31 23:19:14 +0000 UTCThat's impressive! Still, it's no "A Whole New Nut"...

Sarah Cieslinski
2023-08-31 23:16:49 +0000 UTCWhat an absolutely wonderful voice! Seeing her at the piano makes me appreciate just how frustrating it must be for Dianna to struggle with even the day-to-day tasks. Huge hugs!
Micah Gin
2023-08-31 23:15:07 +0000 UTCWow, cool video! Multi-talented. (Is this Italian for a song about nuts?)
