Sinful Passion For those who like information about Dimash's songs: The story behind this song is very interesting: The band that accompanies Dimash is the same one that composed the song, without the singer who died after a heart attack! The band is also from Kazakhstan and this performance by Dimash reinvigorated the song (originally this song was sung in two octaves and Dimash takes it to 5 Octaves Vocal range). In addition, he added the final part, with a guttural oriental technique (where he makes a particular sound by rapidly vibrating his voice, and with this voice he looks up and then points his hand down because he was honoring the original singer of whom he was a fan) . The song was originally performed in 1998 and the name of the band is A'Studio (Russian-based Kazakh pop music group, "Alma-Ata Studio", Almaty city). The late singer (of whom Dimash was a fan) left the band in 2000 and passed away in 2015 and his name was Batyrkhan Shukenov. The lyrics are by poet Ilia Reznik along with Baigaly Serkebayev, who is the long-haired keyboard player, which we see in Dimash's accompanying video. In this 2018 presentation, Dimash meets the famous Ukrainian-Russian composer, pianist and billionaire Igor Krutoy, who is the man in the white shirt in the first final who stands up to applaud him and who was retired and who returned from retirement because of Dimash, since he was the voice that he had always been waiting for his music, from there began a friendship and collaboration of many more successes with Dimash- Greetings from Panama.

Did you know that all those flowers he receives he personally takes them all to hospitals or old folks homes and hands them all out to the patients. Such a beautiful person

No matter how many performances you watch from Dimash you'll be surprised every single time

One of the techniques you heard is called zhoktau. It’s that incredible vocal run. It’s not in the original song, but was included in this particular arrangement. Zhoktau is an ancient Kazakh vocal style used for lamentations. It’s done in tribute to one of the original Group A Studio musicians, their vocalist, Batyrkhan Shukenov, who originally sang this song. Batyrkhan Aga passed away at the age of 52.

That traditional type of singing is a tribute to the original singer who has passed away, I am not sure what it’s called, but in your Dimash journey you will most likely hear it again. I love how you immediately caught on to the fact that Dimash was vocally becoming a violin, he quite often does things like that, which is wonderful. I absolutely love your Dimash reactions, the sincere appreciation for what he is doing is great. I am also really glad that you are watching the videos about Dimash, they have so much information about Dimash and there’s even a really silly one, obviously he takes music very seriously, but he has a great sense of humor. I love the richness of his baritone range as well. Thank you John, you just made my Saturday night , love to everyone from a North Carolina Dear ❤.

OMG... his phrasing... just out of this world! Every note, I mean EVERY note tells an intricate part of the story. I'm blown away!

Something else about his moral character, all those flowers his fans shower on him...he supposedly has them delivered to hospitals and retirement homes after each show. That's a big heart right there!

The last run was 25 seconds long on one breath. His breath control is absolutely out of this world. Like an athlete, he works every part of his body that's needed for great singing!

Glad you reacted to this Dimash masterpiece. A few things. The yodel/trill is a traditional Kasac/central Asian technique. It is used in mourning and it wasDimash’s tribute to the leader of A-Studio who passed away. They wrote this song and accompanies Dimash in this performance. Another thing, the gentleman in the white shirt who stands up to applaud Dimash is Igor Krotoy a famous Russian composer who, upon seeing Dimash, came out of retirement to write music specifically for him( Olimpico, Stranger and others)

Best way to start this Saturday night!!! You reacting to Sinful passion... Isn't it marvelous???

And so begins the relationship between Igor Krutoy the man in white giving the standing ovation and Dimash. Igor came out of retirement just to compose for Dimash....you need to see Ave Maria next . You will be amazed

I loved your reaction to this song.🎶💜🎶 The original by AStudio was a rock/pop song done about 25 years ago. Dimash kept most of the lyrics, slightly rearranged, to create this sexy intimate song. I love Dimash in his deeper full male voice. 💐💐💐He uses his voice to imitate many instruments. Dudak, electric guitar etc in other songs. You are the first person I have seen to comment or notice that. 🫶🫶🫶 Great reaction as always. 🩵🥰🥰 Hugs from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦

Not only is Dimash in a league of his own as a vocalist but he is such an amazing human being. Despite all of his talent and fame he is so humble, respectful, caring, thoughtful. He is EVERYTHING a man can be - talented, hard-working, with impeccable manners, such a model role and truly an inspiration! I love and respect him as an artist and wonderful human being more and more as the years pass. Truly one of a kind. Thank you for your great reaction. Best regards from Germany

Dimash is the the national treasure for his country and he injects his cultural traditional music to his performances ❤❤❤❤❤❤

So nice to see you get it, John! Dimash is unique, and I fully believe that those of us who are addicted to him are unique, too.

I enjoy seeing people watch each of his performances for the first time. I know what’s coming, and to see the reaction when they get there. 😊 Glad you’re on this journey. I love Dimash. Edit: You know he can sing/perform, but each time there will be something unexpected, something to take your breath away. ❤️‍🔥

Your analysis and appreciation for Dimash is amazing, your amazement is infectious ! This singer is jaw dropping,just jaw dropping ! Thank you so much I enjoyed your reaction so much watched it twice !

Dimas parents are opera singers...I know so much about him ,by studying him..He's BRILLIANT 👏

Of you will see the performance in Moskov (fan cam) of this song, you will realize that’s he is already a superstar. Go Dimash. Go.

Hi John, Thank you for this great reaction. 👍😊 If you really want to be speechless, you should definitely check out Dimash's original THE STORY OF ONE SKY, an MV. Dimash worked on this piece for three years. Also, he wrote the script for it as well, because it's more of a short film than an MV. Absolutely everything is right in this masterpiece: the composition, the text or the message and Dimash's unbelievable vocal performance. Everyone should definitely see and hear this MV. His song EL AMOR EN TI is also an original composition and a masterpiece. I look forward to your reactions to this. 🤗

John! ❤❤ Thanks, I so love your reactions! Dimash is simply magnificent! His voice is food for the ears, heart and soul.

Enjoy your Dimash reactions and your appreciation of his talent and him as a person. Keep going - still tip of the Dimash iceberg - he pretty much delivers a surprise every time.🙏🏻🇦🇺

Heavenly voice, zero autotune, just a bit of reverb to hear the echo of the voice that most deserves to be resonated. This is crazy. If someone had told me ten years ago about every detail of such an amazing singer, I would've laughed in their face.

Dimash = eargasm. And it's never enough. He leaves you starving for more. Thanks for your reaction.

Thank you so much! I so enjoy U👏 ➕️ Dimash always amazes 💯 His beauty 🎵 kindness 🎶 talent is beyond words. Until next time ☮️🌸 be well.

I appreciate you taking the time to find out about Dimash in your last reactions. It shows respect for the artist and the man himself. In the case of Dimash, the more we learn about him, the more our admiration grows. I have a suggestion for one of your next reaction, a very recent live performance of Dimash's own composition, "El Amor en Ti" from the Almaty concert. It is also Dimash's first song in Spanish.

Love your enthusiasm for Dimash! It is a eastern musical technique akin to a yodel, but based on a traditional lament (I believe typically sung by women but I can’t be sure). Dimash has expressed his desire to combine styles and to introduce audiences to traditional Kazakh culture as well. Cheers from Canada!

Thank you Dimash for such a miracle! No words, just exclamations! It's a miracle!

John, if you have the time, maybe an extra Dimash reaction to spoil us? Today/tomorrow it's Mothersday and he sang a beautiful tribute at his Kiev concert, his mother was in the audience. A 'small' but beautiful song. Just his voice & the piano mainly. It's called 'Marigold'! Cheers 🤗🤗

One of my favourites check out the moscow version AMAZING 🤩 thank you 💖🦘

Watched 10 times , still love it, John thank you for your reaction...... you and Dimash videos ... I love them

Dimash es lo máximo 👌👌💯💯

Hola desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷:donde esté Dimash ahí estaré yo❤

I really enjoy your appreciation for Dimash. Great reaction! Look forward to the next one. 🔥

I am still surprised when Dimash does a new song. It's not even about singing technique anymore, but he is just so surprising in his choices and directions he goes in so I can never predict what he'll do. This is one of the things I like the most about Dimash.

AND HE IS LIVE !!! Who else performs with this range LIVE !!!

Dimash is an undiscovered treasure yet...there are so many things to learn and appreciate about him...from everything I've seen on KZfaq ( concerts...reactions from vocal coaches, musicians or simple people who don't have the music , as a job ), I realize that we are dealing with aphenomenon, which is gaining momentum among the world's population... more and more people are hearing about Dimash and want to listen to his voice and performance... we have to admit that Dimash is unique, both on stage and off it... I'm very happy that a girl from Romania (where I'm from) was invited by Dimash on stage to perform the chorus of a song and he was so delighted by her voice that he applauded her... Dimash is a example to follow.

The unique section of vocals is, I believe, called "melisma," a Middle East technique based on the fact that they "express" different parts of the notes. He had a Middle Easten friend who had passed away a year before this performance, so the melisma was in honor of that friend.. Thank you for your wonderful and insightful reactions! I love people who love Dimash! You are a dear Dear.

Thank you very much for your wonderful reaction. I would like to recommend two other performances of Sinful Passion. Dimash always sings it differently. One fancam is from Moscow concert where you can see him close and clearly and the other one from Arnau tour with the red background. I guarantee you going to like it even more!

Love that you love Dimash. Looking forward to more reactions of Dimash. Bev

The greatest vocalist the world has ever seen.

Sem palavras para descrever Dimash, simplesmente incrível, saudações do BRASIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤❤

Thank you for your great reaction. These middle easter sound he does in one or another song. It’s really awesome. The thing with the flowers has something to do with respect for the artist. It's a cultural thing. The audience listens to a performance without yelling or screaming that the artist can no longer be heard. No sound may be missing. In return, they then shower Dimash with flowers and gifts. That's the norm there. He then always donates the flowers to hospitals, retirement homes or similar institutions. And I love his outfit. It's just great. Like James Bond🥰. The Triangle-guy’s name is Ilya Pokrovskiy and he is a great percussionist and plays in Dimash's band at his concerts. You should see the drumms duels between the two at the end of every concert. 23 seconds in one breath with riffs and runs. Unbelievable. He sang this song on the New Wave in Sochi, Russia in 2018. This is an international contest for young performers founded by Igor Krutoy in 2002. Dimash sang here as a guest. The musicians who accompany him are called A-Studio. It's a Kazakh band that wrote this song in 1998. However, Dimash sang it differently. And in my opinion much better 😄. This song was in Russian, a language he speaks fluently. The gentleman at the end you see standing and clapping is the famous Russian/Ukrainian composer, producer and songwriter Igor Krutoy. He has come out of retirement to work with Dimash. True masterpieces were created. He writes songs that only Dimash could sing with his vocal range, such as Olimpico, Stranger or Ave Maria. You’ll often see him accompanying Dimash on the piano. The two have no contract. Their cooperation is based more on mutual trust. It’s more like a father/son relationship. He always thanks his musicians. He is incredibly humble and never acts like a star. When he is praised, he constantly says that it is thanks to his teachers and his parents, who made it all possible for him. He’s just incredible. In this case he thanked the band A-Studio. It’s a Kazakh band who wrote this song. However, Dimash sang it differently. And in my opinion, much better 😄. If you like some really great fancam versions then I recommend the one from the Moscow concert: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q958m9qXq6y5gac.html Or another one from the Arnau concert: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7B1n6p5l87Vpas.html They are all a bit different Please react next to Olimpico from his Arnau concert in 2019. In this song he sings in Italian. You can find it on Igor Krutoy‘s Channel. Olimpico is another masterpiece that Igor Krutoy wrote especially for Dimash’s vocal skills. It was written for the 2nd European Games in Minsk, Belarus 2019. And that’s why the lyrics are also very motivating. This song and this performance is my absolute favourite🥰. I think this version is the best, because his performance is so intense and breathtaking. The light show, the background dancers. Everything. With this song in this version I have gasping breath all the time. The way he represents himself on stage, the hand movements. I think he has incredibly beautiful hands🤭(and apparently many cameramen think so too, since many of the camera shots during his performances very often only show his hands. Sometimes it seems as if he is conducting himself. This is really fascinating). And the facial expression, the look. There he looks so demanding and so commanding😱. There he is such a Beast😳! It’s absolutely stunning. Gasping and racing heart and I’m not even talking about him singing. Oh wow I’m starting to rave again…🤤 Sorry but I can’t help it🥺. I swear it is mind-blowing 🤯 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtGAhpmlnZrVl2g.html Greetings and love from Germany👋❤️

Hola John , grácias por tus reacciones a Dimash !! Si quieres, te sugiero THE STORY OF ONE SKY....Graves, agudos y cien voces, más una obra maestra para emocionarse y recapacitar !! Abrazo désde Uruguay !!❤

You nailed it perfectly that his voice "demands attention", I'll go as far as every note and syllable does. This guy is incredible, unbelievably talented. It brings tears to my eyes every new song I discover and listen to.

Dimash es el maestro ...hay que aprender del mejor....

Love your reactions to Dimash, stay on your journey there’s so much you will hear and be surprised with this young man’s talents.

Dimash é espetacular e apaixonante, quando canta não precisamos traduzir pois sua voz e interpretação transcende qualquer idioma! Simplesmente incrível! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏽👏👏🏼👏🏼👏🏿🎶🎵♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷

Никогда не слышала от певцов такого совершенного пения, как у Димаша Кудайбергена!!! Феноменально!!! Прекрасно!!! У Димаша Кудайбергена абсолютный слух!!!Спасибо за любовь к творчеству Димаша🙏🙏С уважением🇷🇺👍🤗🌷🌷🌷

If you like that style, watch Hello, The Story of one Sky, Stranger performance in China. In his Moscow concert and Arnau concert, he sang this song and theres a fancam with good quality and it just focused on him. You can see his face and mouth movement. Just amazing...love your reaction..cant wait on your next one.❤❤dear from canada

E non hai ancora visto niente. Ogni performance è diversa e sono tutte sorprendenti! La sua voce può imitare i più strani e antichi strumenti musicali perché Dimash è la musica, lui é fatto di musica, ha dentro di sé tutta la musica del mondo e ce la regala poco per volta.....

Dimash is the best... Big hug from Philippines 💞💞🥰🥰

Love this performance and your reaction to it! I’ve watched a lot of videos of vocal coaches trying to explain what Dimash does with his voice near the end, and none of them agree on what it’s called! Out of curiosity, I made a list - take your pick!: Bleating, hammer/impact vibrato, ululation, goat/glottal trill, glottal stop technique/folk flutter yodel/a chord’s tremolo/Tarzan effect, throat staccato, mugam in Azeri/Turkic style or ‘Yakutian’ riff (according to Kanat, Dimash’s father), Kazakh mourning style called ‘zhoktau, glottal bleat, caprino (Italian for little goat) trill, goat’s wiggle, Western throat singing, machine gun vibrato ...and so on

Love your reactions on Dimash. He is the best. I am 81 and so blessed to have lived long enough to enjoy his beautiful voice. Love from LA California

Dimash is a little restrained here. This is a professional event. In his more poppy songs, he jumps around and lets the Dears sing with him. Here he is doing warmups with the audience. He's saying "Alemde, berlik bolsun" - 'May there be unity in the world'. - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNmBiM-mzt7JfGw.html

Dimash always surprises with his vocal techniques. sometimes even vocal teachers cannot determine exactly how he did this or that thing))) in a recent performance at a concert in Yerevan (Armenia), he performed a song in Armenian (which he learned in a few hours) and at the end reproduced the sound of the Armenian folk instrument "duduk" in VOICE, it was incredible and also watched the analysis of this performance, the coaches do not understand how he did it and what vocal technique applied

We all want him to be 007.

Everyone that starts reacting to Dimash always thinks after a couple songs he won't surprise them anymore. And then they listen to another song and they are totally surprised lol.

Ahhh, I think you maybe ready for THE Story Of One Sky. Just keep in mind, it is almost a 14 minutes MV so you can be prepared. As always, thank you ❤

Dimash is the best, the only one, a living legend. Dimash is everything 🥇🏆😘❤️

So never EVER GUESS WhatvDimash will do next .. he is a master in fool us and the best !!

Not enough people mention how PERFECT that piano accompaniment it during the first part. Just that slow, rambling on the keyboard perfectly complements his singing

I love Dimash. His voice is on another level. I think you would love seeing his performance of the Fifth Element's Diva Dance (if you like the movie.) Talk about an instrument. Also, I love Dimash for two reasons. Because I was watching his videos when I came across Mic Drop. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Sempre ficamos êxtase com as apresentações do Dimash , cantor espetacular, incrível que sempre nos envolve em suas apresentações. Gosto de suas reações, são sempre muito simpáticas e de admiração pelo Dimash . 😊🥰♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Reaja a essa apresentação do Dimash em Moscou ao vivo kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fctopduQl5iXcXk.html

Димаш космический вокалист и восхитительный человек 😃🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍💞👏👏👏👏👏

Watch the song "Stranger" live performance in China. There, Dimash improvises a lot in this technique. It is also used in the song "The Story of One Sky." Be sure to watch the video for this song. Dimash created it for three years and invested a lot of effort, work, emotions

Thanks for keeping the video almost until the end. His voice deserves every second, even his speaking voice.

Great reaction. Love your enthusiasm. Can't wait for your next reaction to our vocal king

Dimash has the most silky, soft, powerful, passionate voice I've ever heard. You are right, when he sings, his voice demands your total attention. It makes me feel such emotion. I adore him.

Me encanta ver tu reacciones, son tan honestas. Un fuerte abrazo desde Chile. Bendiciones.

I KNEW the first time I saw you react to Dimash that you couldn't NOT fall down the rabbit hole!❤ Please keep going, as he WILL keep surprising you! I suggest ( since you like metal) that you react to his MV, Across Endless Dimensions. Dude. It'll blow you away. Again! 😅 Thanks from Rose, your friend in Las Vegas! ❤ Toodles! 👋

Dimash is genuine and honest artist and beautiful human, good, humble and honest. Thank you for your great reaction again, you really made me feeling good. Love you all ❤

Great analysis. At the end of the day, you got Dimashified 😂😂😂😊

Yes, absolutely one of my Favorite Dimash-- favorite, favorite songs. Thank you John. Love his lower register in the beginning- also, his hand gestures in this piece- vocals are magnificent. Love his Kremlin concert performance too.

Wow .... what a beautiful and natural gift he's been given !!

Omg I love him soo much...unbeatable

Great comments. Dimash gives it all to us, but slowly. :) Vocal fries, cries, whispers, belts (classical, rock, operatic), Chest voice, mix voice, head voice. Western, Eastern... My goodness! I truly thank God every day for Dimash.

Impresionante reacción 😱 gracias escuchar a Dimash es un maestro gracias por favor puedes reaccionar a Ikanaide, stranger, adagio y sos nueva versión por favor gracias 🙂

His voice is HIPNOTIC. Feels like one is in a trance...amazingly beautiful. ❤

Awesome,amazing and sublime 👏👏💖💝💗💜

Genial,como siempre!!! Que pena que tus reacciones no tengan traducción 😢...pero se nota que lo disfrutas tanto como un verdadero DEAR.❤

Catching the emotion within the performance 💓💗❤️❤️‍🔥🫠 Most reactors just miss the point or are 2 🐓 2 say 🤣😂🤣💦 This is just down right yummy 🥰 I’m speaking as true loving spouse 😘 I think Dimash is a very brave performer to sing a man’s desire 😍💓💗💖💝 SO DANG WELL‼️ The 2nd To Last 🌬 🎶 run was over 22 seconds ⏱ He Swims 🏊🏻‍♂️ Everywhere For Breath Control “Vocal Athlete”🥇 The “Fast Tremolo” is a “Dimash interpretation” of his Culture’s 🎶 Traditions ❤ The song is by “A'Studio” 1998 They are “Some Of The Band Mates” preforming with Dimash 🎹🎸🤩 The gentleman standing in the audience in the white shirt is “Maestro Igor Krutoy”✨🎹✨🎼 He's a Ukrainian & Russian music composer, performer, producer, musical promoter & billionaire. Very famous‼️🌟🇺🇦🇷🇺 He came “Out of Retirement” to work with Dimash. When you see him at the 🎹 with Dimash you can bet he’s the composer and or collaborator of that song.

Best in the world!

Thank you so much for your comments on Dimash. I really appreciate your explanations.

Thanks for your lovely emotional reaction. Greets from Germany

Dios bendiga a mi adición ❤ Dimash ❤

Love this song!

Amazing as always! Thank u for your reaction…. You’ll discover so many things about him during your “Dimash” journey which will blow your mind…

Dimash has trained, not only in classical vocal techniques, and musical theatre, and every form of contemporary genre, but also in many traditional forms of vocalisation. That 'trill' or 'melisma' section was not only a surprise to all listeners, but a surprise to the A- Studio band as well. This is a traditional Kazakh mourning vocalisation, ( I think fairly common to that region - not only in Kazakhstan ) that Dimash inserted this here as a mark of his respect to the original lead singer of this band, Batyrkhan Shukenov, who has since passed. Batyrkhan and the Pianist; Baigali, whom you see here, composed / first performed Sinful Passion back in 1998. Dimash has, as always, put his own unique spin on it. Yes- a number of people have commented on Dimash's ability to make his voice sound like a violin or even electric guitar*. [ Have a look at his Music Video / Movie Trailer; 'Across Endless Dimensions' * Just a note on choosing his LIVE performances. These are always 'extra', but there are a few where it's important to view the video first. 'Be With Me' is another, 'Okay'' also, and of course the phenomenal "Under One Sky', where the music/ his voice is, as always, stunningly impressive, but background. Here the vision is FAR more important, as it is not a 'Music Video', but a Mini-Movie with a Maxi-Message. Enjoy!

One of my favorite old performance of Dimash.

For those who like information about Dimas' songs: Sinful Passion - The story behind this song is very interesting: The band that accompanies Dimash is the same one that composed the song, without the singer who died after a heart attack! The band is also from Kazakhstan and this performance by Dimash revitalized the song. Moreover, in the final part he added, with an oriental technique (from the Kazakhstan region). The song was originally performed in 1998 and the band name is A'Studio (Kazakh pop music group based in Russia, "Alma-Ata Studio", Almaty city). The dead singer (who Dimash was a fan of) left the band in 2000 and passed away in 2015 and his name was Batyrkhan Shukenov. The lyrics are by the poetess Ilia Reznik together with Baigaly Serkebayev, who is the long-haired keyboardist, who we see in the video that accompanies Dimash. Hugs from Brazil! Original Version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebRpmauozdTFj4E.html

That was a 23 seconds run with melismas. Only DiMASH. He is the best!!! You need to watch Ikanaide Tokyo Jazz Festival 2021. Thank you for your reaction. Take care. ❤️🙏☮️

You must see Passione, across endless dimensions, Ave Maria, Olímpico....so many..

Amazing.Please react Dimash "Sinful Passion "( live from Arnau concert) brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤

It is called "caprino", John, a goat-like sound, in translation from Italian. However, that whole piece was an asiatic funeral chant, which Dimash added to the arrangement, and it was done in memory of the original singer of this song, who was a lead singer of the 'Group "A" Studio' band that was performing with him on stage that night.

Siempre quedo con la quijada en el piso. Este joven es un prodigio

He is definitely someone to see in concert, some of his concert s are 2hrs or so and they are packed

React to Dimash singing ikanaide song. In Japanese. Beautiful. Amazing and shocking.

Aloha! I think you should check out his Neverland performance, it is so much fun and upbeat! Positive vibes with this one!!!

John, Thank you so much for your reaction, great as always. If you're curious about what Dimash sounds like in classical opera voice there is a wonderful song called Ti Amo Cosi where he sings with Lara Fabian and Aida Garifullina. The occasion is Igor Krutoys 65th Birthday Celebration, and there was surely no expense spared.
