The Limits of a Human Voice - 28th Dec

I'm not sure if any readers out there actually remember the movie: "The Fifth Element" starred by Milla Jovovich and Bruce Willis on a mission stop Armageddon of the whole Earth in the distant future setting. Well, what I would like to highlight here is the opera scene by the blue alien diva or named as Miss Plavanaguna. Well, if you don't remember, here's the video (the focus here is last digital voice part, starting at 3:25 ):-



Now, that sure sounds like electronic synthesizers voice. It was thought at the time that it was not possible to sing them humanely and therefore the electronic voices were added at the time. But look at the following video of a girl singing the same opera, but only the last part where it sounds like synthesizers in the movie.



When I first watched this video, I was thinking that this girl would have screwed up at make herself look silly but in the end I was totally awed by her supreme voice prowess. This video has definitely proved that the human voice hasn't actually reached it's true potential and there's more than meets the eye in the human race.
