I thought the point of that song was that it was done digitally and wasn't like, physically possible for people to actually sing. I'm cbf watching through four minutes, does she actually sing the same song or is it an adaptation?

I vaguely recall that the blue woman was Luc Besson's wife, and she practiced that song for months and then was pissed they replaced the audio with a professional singer's voice. Don't remember anything about it being nigh-impossible or anything though

There's a specific part that is technically impossible and was done digitally. The woman in the gif doesn't hit every note which honestly bothers the gently caress out of me because I know every note of that song and every time I see that video people are like "she can sing the whole song!" and like... no, she can't. She's still super impressive, the song's range is probably the largest in all of opera, but she isn't 100% nailing it.

The original singer got 85% of it (which was more than the composer expected) and it was then sampled and edited to hit the final version.
Here, for comparison's sake, is the original:

I still remember watching Fifth Element the first time and thinking "Ah! Switched to a keyboard there." Managing those 32nd glottal separations in any shape is crazy impressive.

I should have bolded the part where I said she's still super impressive, I just get wrankled by people who think they're hearing someone hit all the notes when they're clearly not.
Also I'm stupid about Fifth Element. It's

movie.
Laura is the closest I've ever heard yet, though. Holy gently caress that's amazing poo poo right there.

The Fifth Element is also my favorite movie, but that song is the worst part for me. So imagine my surprise that it wasn't some original composition for the movie.

Huh? I linked to an article about how it was an original composition for the movie... What are you talking about?

For the scene to work, we needed her to sound like an alien, therefore we had to create notes that no human could sing. So I purposely wrote un-singable things

Sorry, I meant I was surprised it was something to be sung. I assumed the whole song was autotuned, because that's what it sounds like. I knew the actress who played the Diva was a model, and figured all the audio was just dubbed over after being manufactured entirely. I didn't think someone actually (tried to) sing it.

I'm phrasing this horribly. I thought they just hired some non-opera singer, and then autotuned the poo poo out of it.

They are... but he's also the least accurate of the three singers.
