The sci-fi action film “The Fifth Element” (1997), boasting a stellar cast including Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, and Gary Oldman, showcases a song composed by Eric Serra that has gained notoriety for being deemed impossible for a human to fully sing.

In the movie, the character Diva is portrayed by Maiwenn Le Besco, but it is Albanian opera singer Inva Mula-Tchako who lends her vocals to the song “Diva Dance.” The composition, featuring a rapid succession of high notes, was initially considered technically impossible for a human to seamlessly sing. To overcome this challenge, Mula-Tchako sang the notes individually, which were then digitally joined together.

However, since then, two singers have demonstrated that it is not truly impossible to sing the song as written. YouTuber Laura, known as @disneydiva7, shared a video discussing the infamous tune and successfully performed it without any digital enhancements.

The video was recently reshared on Reddit, prompting amazement and praise from users. While some acknowledged Laura’s impressive achievement, there were debates among hardcore “The Fifth Element” fans about whether every note was precisely replicated.

One Reddit user, u/PM_ME_UR_SUSHI, pointed out that while Laura’s rendition was incredible, it still deviated from the original movie version, citing differences in runs and range. Despite the debates, Laura and Chinese opera singer Jane Zhang have both demonstrated remarkable abilities by hitting the challenging notes during live performances, challenging the initial notion that the song was entirely impossible for human rendition.
