At the end, Dimash went up a semi-tone each time, not an octave. An octave has 12 semi-tones or 8 full tones. - This was a competition in China in 2017, which made Dimash famous in China. He came in only second because, at that time, only Chinese citizens were allowed to win the first prize. There is another nice song from this competition you should listen to: Adagio!

This was the show that blew Dimash to superstardom in China and started his growth around the world. He was a wildcard brought in and only expected to last a couple of episodes as all the competitors were established artists with long standing careers and he was also the youngest performer in the history of the competition. After coming second Dimash remained in China for three years, coming home for a visit just before the pandemic when border closures would shut him out of his largest market for almost 2 and a half years.

Opera2 was the second performance of The Singer competition in 2017 in China. The Singer is a show in China where only established singers are invited to perform. All the singers invited to are already well-known artists in China who have already won awards. Dimash was invited as the first foreigner as a wild card and the youngest in the history of this show. They became aware of him because he had already won some important competitions in Kazakhstan and Belarus, among others. He was still completely unknown in China. Actually, it was intended that he would only have 1 or 2 appearances. But it came completely different. When he woke up the next morning after his first performance of SOS he was a megastar in China and even found bodyguards outside his hotel room. SOS’ first video had 600 million views when it aired. He was just 22 years old at the time. Opera 2 is in Russian. A language he also speaks fluently. The original was from the famous Russian singer named Vitas. The song is very famous and popular in China. The audience already knew what to expect, but were very surprised when Dimash raised the pitch three times. Vitas but only once. The man who raises his fist in the air at the end is Dimash’s father. He came from Kazakhstan to support his son. However, Dimash knew nothing about it when he performed. I think it was very difficult for him at the beginning. You have to imagine, until this competition in China in 2017 he never was alone. Dimash, like many other Kazakhs, has the tradition of living under one roof with the whole family all together. He lives with his grandparents, parents, a sister, a brother an other relatives in the same house. And now he had to go to China alone, didn‘t know the country, didn‘t know the language, didn‘t know the traditions or livestyle in this country and up to that point he spoke (almost) no English, except maybe „Thank you“ and „My name is Dimash“. Only one interpreter came along and that at the age of 22. He was almost a kid to me then (my son is 21 so I can imagine…). And after that performance he saw his dad. So beautiful and emotional. By the way the audience is also the jury and the people backstage are the other competitors. During the Opera 2 performance, he flirted with the audience in a way that wasn’t really his habit at the time (fortunately that has changed in the meantime). And afterwards he said that he was really uncomfortable that his father saw him like that🤭. Luckily he didn’t find out until afterwards because I love it when he’s like that on stage🥰. If you might want to see the whole video, especially the meeting with his father, privately, here is the link. He asked his dad twice if he sang well. Seriously, how would you answer that question😂? Opera2: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLaIh9aF15qmp3k.html Please continue to react to The Singer competition and if possible the stories behind. You can find them on the Gloria Wu channel. As far as I know, on this channel there are no copyright issues and there are also English subtitles. And I always recommend switching them on. In some it is important to understand what the song is about. There are a lot of beautiful, sad and awesome songs to discover. I can also highly recommend the videos from the Gloria Wu channel because they show a little more of the scenes behind the scenes and there are also subtitles from the competitors, some of which are really funny. Please react to another song from The Singer competition in 2017. Daybreak. It’s a very important song for us Dears. Another very emotional song is Daybreak also from The Singer competition. I highly recommend you watching the version with the story behind on the Gloria Wu channel first 🙏🙏🙏 and then the one from his Bastau concert. It was the 8th performance of this competition. I don’t think there are copyright issues, because the videos on this channel are already edited and there are English subtitles. This song tells a very sad but true story. You really have to watch this with subtitles. It’s really important to know what the song is about. So please react to The Singer version first🙏🙏🙏. In the Singer version he was so sick and had a severe sore throat and fever. He lost his voice the night before his performance of Daybreak. I heard him say in an interview that it was very painful throughout the song, that his throat feels like shredded glass but he didn’t want to disappoint the people who stand behind him and so he pulled himself together and went on stage. He got 5 injections from this doctor in the hospital. And the doctor told him not to sing high notes. You can see how concerned the other competitors were and they suffered with him. They knew he was not doing well and one of them even gave him a very expensive Chinese medicine from his own inventory. The problem was his busy schedule between the performances and he didn’t have enough time to recover. He made very good friends there and many friendships still exist today. After the performance he lost his voice again. It’s unbelievable how he always manages to convey emotions to such a degree. Though I think in this one particular version the emotions he shows are mostly concern about his voice keeping up with the song and the pain he must have been in doing it. You also will get a lot of recommendations of this song from his Bastau concert. But I think you later will appreciate the Bastau version even more if you’ve seen The Singer version before. If you know the background story, the force with which the song hits you will have a completely different dimension. In my opinion it loses at bit of its impression, if you don’t know why he sings, the way he sings. The Bastau version (no sore throat) of Daybreak is phenomenal and mind-blowing. So emotional and heartbreaking. Maybe you can do both together. Many reactors do and so you can see the difference between this two performances. Both versions always hit me hard. I don’t know why I have to cry more. Because of the story or the fact, that he was in such pain and performed anyway because he didn’t want to disappoint the audience. Both version were in the same year 2017. Daybreak The Singer: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q753eZqnzKu9e58.html What I love about the Chinese competitors is that they don’t behave like competitors. Everyone wishes everyone luck. Everyone watches the other’s performance. Clap, sing along. In my opinion, no one begrudges the success of another. They might not have taken Dimash seriously at first, but that quickly changed after SOS. Through ist honest, cheerful and open nature, he found friends very quickly. Greetings and love from Germany👋❤️

This song can be found with english subtitles on Gloria Wu's channel. The story in Russian is about a lonely guy who has built his house in the woods and only has his sadness and the Autumn wind for company. Dimash does a great rendition of a howling wind in several semi tones. This was the second performance of 14 performances on The Singer. TV China. 🥰🥰🥰🇨🇦

Ah Dimash... Quand j'ai écouté Opera 2 pour la 1ère fois, j'ai halluciné, il se promène dans les notes aigües tranquillement, c'est un Alien 😂. Il est juste inégalable et extraordinaire. Merci de l'avoir visionnée et merci pour votre belle réaction. Salutations de France 😊

❗🎊🎉SURPRISE ! He didn't know his Dad had flown in to surprise him and sitting in the audience. Dimash never saw him. Finished and smiling at the audience, he STOPPED, took the stage in 2 bounds, lept , grabbing his Dad in a bear hug swung him around grinning ear to ear to everyone's delight ! Good luck on your channel !

"The Singer" is a very hard competition in China. The show in 2017 changed Dimash's life. In China was the name for his fans "Dears" born. Dimash was invited again as a guest in 2018 for a performance with the song "Hello". Since then, he has been regularly at events in China and also holds concerts there. One great performance was: Singer 2017 E06 - Adagio (In the YT channel Dimash Fanclub Germany you find this performance with subtitles and others of this show)

You literally had chill?! Well, Dimash is the ONLY artist who can give me goosebumps and chills each and every time I listen to him. I have listened to many different types of music and liked a lot of pop artists over the years, Beatles, MJ, etc, but none of them render me in total awe and amazement and completely impressed and admiration like Dimash. I became an instant Dear the first time I heard his voice. ❤only love and respect for DIMASH.

💥LONELY ! He lives traditionally, grandparents, whole family under one roof, they don't leave home before marriage, the men bring their brides home to live, family and friends around all the time. Alone for months in China with an interpreter and coach, didn't speak the language, his calls became VERY lonely. His Father flew in and sat in the audience to surprise him, the crew knowing, the camera keeps panning him, the man with the arm pump at the end ! He never left. In an interview, his Mother said since, at least one family member and a friend(s) travels with him, they spell each other off. He's used to family and friends around all the time and performs better. Never know it watching this professional performance.

Hola hola! Nuevamente con usted porque,a pesar de ser tan joven,sus reacciones son con conocimiento y sentimiento para Dimash:mi hacedor de emociones ❤ Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Yes, this is the competion. After he sings he sees his dad in the audience, big hugs, then as they walk back stage he asks his father "did I sing well", later in an interview he says he was embarrassed that his dad watched him flirting with the audience. He is so sweet and humble.

This was the second week of The Singer 2017 competition in China. He did not win because according to rules a foreigner couldn't win but rules were changed for the next year.

To me,Dimash stays at the summit of the music world.❤

I wish you had used the linger video as it showed his father coming to surprise and support him. His family had become concerned about how homesick he sounded on his phone calls home. His dad took a leave of absence from his job to come support Dimash. He would only leave if spelled by another family member or friends of Dimash.

Hello, thank you for your reaction, I recommand you the story of One Sky. It s Dimash composition and it s fantastic

👉 Not opera… kidding… is the wind 🤣 That was the second song in the competition "Singer 2017". The organizers of the competition asked Dimash to sing this "simple song”. The song is about a guy who built a house and now lives all alone and sad in it ...listening to the howling of the wind outside ... This song belongs to the Ukrainian- Russian vocal clown Vitas. (Relates to Videos on KZfaq: Vitas sings never live and his voice is always processed electronically) However, the Chinese forgot to ask Vitas. The rights holders have sued the Chinese television... unfortunately too late. The Chinese had already put it online and so it stays on the internet forever. Vitas (Vitaly Vladasovich Grachev, *1979 Latvian SSR is a Ukrainian- Russian pop singer who mainly sings in Russian. He is also a composer, actor and fashion designer. He claimed that by the age of 12 he had composed at least 1,000 songs.🤣 * Original video: Vitas - Opera #2 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bpOhjadnva66c3U.html (on KZfaq videos all performances by Vitas are electronically edited) You should watch the full version with nice scenes at the end, feel free to join us, your viewers. The Dears can't get enough of Dimash: At the last moment Dimash saw his father in front of the stage. Dimash was alone in China for a long time and was very homesick... His father's surprise came at just the right time.: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nraaeLigtc2RkZs.html (subtitle) * Dimash sings Opera 2 in a funny TV show (2015 or 2016) (subtitle) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbiogqyc37Ctmas.html That's how it all started: In 2017 Dimash received a wildcard for the “The Singer” competition in China. He was the youngest participant ever (22 years old). Foreign participants were actually forbidden at that time. The director ignored the ban, believing Dimash would only stay 1 or 2 episodes and then go home. This competition is not a talent show. Only professional, award-winning singers participate. Nobody knew or heard Dimash before and he had to start first ... and after his first song "SOS" Dimash captured the hearts of over 600 million viewers and a mega-star was born overnight. The next day, bodyguards stood in front of his door. “Opera #2” was the 2. song in the competition. The competition consisted of 14 rounds over 4 months. The jury consisted of 500 spectators who knew music, not just your average "Joe". They were well screened to be sure they would be able to judge the musicians fairly and competently. With up to 1 billion people watching this TV program and international interest was aroused. The performances were uploaded to KZfaq ... and so we became Dimash's Dears. The Chinese organizers planned... but Dimash came, sang and stayed ... for the next 3 years in China ... but he only finished second in the competition because he is not Chinese (conditions have changed: 2018, Jessie J. won). (Thank you Dears for helping to complete the comment.)

Look the Song from Dimash..., ,Unforgettable Day, ...Her Voice is out off the Piano...D8

Y aun no escuchas su obra maestra The Story of one sky, es un video largo pero es su máximo, después puedes escuchar OMIR versión acústica con su hermano Manzur y también When I got you , y la última Smoke

If you want another shock "passion"😉

Grazie hai fatto lo staccato quasi come Dimash 😂

❤🇦🇷👏

Tenes un video completo de sus presentaciones de 2017 en China muy jovencito. Tiene subtitulados y detrás de escena que te va a encantar. Saludos desde Argentina!

Dimash is the best! Please react to The Killing Kind by Marianas Trench. Great Canadian band severely underrated. Ty
