He not only received five injections in his throat, but a fellow contestant who was concerned about him gave him some "traditional medicine," in the form of a tincture that he also took. He was asked after this performance how his throat felt and he said it felt like broken glass. He lost his voice again shortly after he sang. This performance brings me to tears every time, not only because of the story of the song, but watching Dimash through his pain still bring the emotion and pain to the song. Stay safe and healthy! Blessings to you!

He regained voice right before his time on stage and as soon as he was finished it was gone again. He states that it was hard to swallow at the end of the song feeling he had glass on his throat... What a wonderful performance. Absolutely one of my all time favorites by Dimash ♥️

I mentioned this on another recent reaction to both of these songs: for me, I prefer the Singer version. Technically the Bastau version is better, but I prefer the intimacy and rawness of the Singer version. Him being sick gave it an additional emotional quality I enjoyed.

Part of the pained look on his face was due to the fact that his throat was killing him. He was in great pain after that performance.

I feel like next Oh My Gosh Dimash Wednesday you should watch Autumn Strong, also on Singer. Also watch the Gloria Wu version, it's one of his more beautiful songs, and it's just amazing. One of his highest head voice notes is in this song too, like twice. I think it will make you chairslide more than you did in this song.

Love you Your reaction is amazing Love your personality Dimash is an icon A genious Bless you xxx

Actually Dimash was not opening the night. It was the other guy Dimash was talking to and worried about. Contestants went in order of how they did the week before. Dimash went first only in first episode, when he sang SOS. Also it was not his first song in Mandarin - that would be Late Autumn, also known as Autumn Strong.

In a later interview Dimash said he’s throat hurt like broken glass. All that and singing a song in Chinese, a language he doesn’t know for the first time.... wow! His performance was incredible. He is an amazing person. That’s why we dears love him so much. ♥️

Hello from Brazil!! OMG, Dimash is a masterpiece and this song is so emotional. Amazing!

Да, Димаш не просто великолепный певец, он ещё и превосходный актёр! Он не просто поёт песню, он проживает её, буквально выплескивая все эмоции в зал!

I'm very surprised in the emotion you feel watching. He is a gift from God, putting a little piece of heaven into our crappy lives.😊Thank you Dimash 😊

This song hurts my heart, but love Di’s performance...tears!!! 😢😢😢😢

Люблю Димаша! Люблю Ваши реакции! Но почему!... Почему премьера опять в ночь перед моим суточным дежурстаом, когда мне обязательно надо выспаться! Снова буду смотреть в записи с опозданием на сутки:(

This performance is so painful for me.... 😢 He was in an awful pain during the whole performance.... But if u did not know, u would never say.... 😢

This is my favorite song. Never fails to make me cry. Its lyrics are already beautiful but Dimash made it a masterpiece.

Dear Matthew! I really like your reactions. You don't communicate with us formally, but sincerely. That's the most important thing. What we saw in this video behind the scenes shows that there are many different and good singers, and Dimash is one. It is given to us to admire, to enjoy, to fly into space and to return to earth. Dimash will not repeat, do not imitate, is unique. It stands apart from everyone else. Many outstanding singers did not have much range, some generally sang, as they say, only the soul (Charles Oznavour, for example). And yet, they were popular and loved by viewers all over the world. The main thing is to get into the song and tell a story for the listeners - then the viewer will cry, and will worry, and will understand. And Dimash with his beautiful voice told us a tragic story that touches the heart of every person. And in the end, I thought he had wet eyes, too. Many people say, "If he's a patient who's sung like that, how will he sing healthy?». Very beautifully and powerfully, he sang this song at his solo concert "Bastau" in Astana on July 27, 2017. DAYBREAK (Kazakhstan, Astana, recital called «Bastau», 27.07.2017) (from the Dimasha Canal) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNGKh62bsdWoZmg.html //////////////////////////// Дорогой Мэтью! Мне очень нравятся твои реакции. Ты общаешься с нами не формально, а искренне. Это самое главное. Этот случай, который мы увидели в этом видео за кулисами, показывает, что певцов разных и хороших много, а Димаш - один. Он нам дан, чтобы восхищаться, наслаждаться, улетать в космос и возвращаться на землю. Он не повторим, не подражаем, уникален. Он стоит отдельно от всех. Многие выдающиеся певцы не имели большого диапазона, некоторые вообще пели, как говорится, только душой (Шарль Ознавур, например). И, тем не менее, они были популярны и любимы зрителями всего мира. Главное проникнуть в песню и рассказать историю для слушателей - тогда зритель и заплачет, и переживать будет, и поймет. А Димаш нам своим прекрасным голосом рассказал трагическую историю, которая задевает сердце каждого человека. И в конце мне тоже показалось, что у него были влажными глаза. Многие говорят: «Если он больной так спел, как же он споет здоровым?». Очень красиво и мощно он спел эту песню на своем сольном концерте «Бастау» в городе Астана 27 июля 2017 г.

First Chinese song for him in Singer 2017 was Autumn Strong.

You should make the comparison with the BASTAU version.

Dimash lost his voice and went to the hospital the day of the competition and the man in the striped shirt was the one going first. After the song Dimash hid from the audience that he was in severe pain and by the time he got backstage he had lost his voice again but since the episodes were a week apart he recovered by the following episode to sing All By Myself. The picture at the end of the song is Han Hong and the orphan she adopted. 🎶👱‍♀️👗👠 Autumn Strong was the 1st Chinese song & this was 2nd.

Hi, Matt! Great reaction as always. Yes, Dimash performed Daybreak live and sang high notes despite the doctor’s restriction. The pressure at Singer was always very tense. Along with own vocal part and lyrics (for Dimash almost always in a foreign language), the participants should have prepared arrangement, notes for the orchestra and back vocal. They should rehearse and record everything with the orchestra as TV channel required for the safety reasons though all the performances were live according to the contest term. They still had some other performances in the meantime. And no concessions for being sick etc. Dimash was proposed to use his prerecorded version but he refused. In his interview 2 years later he said that it was a sort of a miracle: the voice appreared when he went on the stage, just for the performance. The stress was enormous though Dimash was not first to perform that time. Other participants knowing the situation tried to support Dimash, worried about him, offered him some Chinese medicines to recover the voice. Dimash made a lot of friends at Singer. Though they were competitors, they really tried to support each other. He still has very good friendship relations with Terri Lin, Jam Xsao, Tia Rey and others. After Singer they congratulated Dimash with his 23rd birthday when he had a party with Dears both in the concert hall and in the livestream (half of China joined that live in Weibo I guess) . This party was filmed for TV. You can find 4 parts of this video on Gloria Wu channel. This backstage is really interesting, funny and even touching at some points)) Dimash is a superstar in China. This year he again is recognized as the best foreign male singer in China though he is now at his home in Kazakhstan.

Hello from Costa Rica, Dimash is the best singer, thanks for your reactions🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷

Love your dogs reaction to Dimash. He is so cute!!!!

I love Mocha 😍😍😍😍 I love Dimash he's absolutely the best ❤❤❤❤

More info on the accident. First, it was a seven-story fall. When the cable snapped and they knew they were going to drop, he picked up his kid and put him on his shoulders to cushion the extreme sudden stop. The greatest is the greatest!! Dimash overcame. So Hyang the best female singer sang You Raised Me Up while having Pneumonia. Her like Dimash explosiveness was still there. If you didn't know before, you would have never known!! BRAVO!!!

Друг, ты Шерлок Холмс в мире музыки !!!! Спасибо За твои реакции и детальный анализ каждого исполнения Димаша!!!! Friend, you are Sherlock Holmes in the world of music !!!! Thank you For your reactions and detailed analysis of each performance of Dimash!!!!

Oh my, I am going to cry again, where are my tissues!

I really like the both versions of this song. But this performance make me feel more pain . Knowing that Dimash was sick as hell is painful ... But the Bastau version is making me cry too. He sang it very emotional, so I cannot choose which one of these versions I like more. Just both! Thank you for your reaction) Hello from Russia 🇷🇺 😊

He was sick in that day. He was with fever, even so he was amazing. Dimash é demais. Great reaction Matt👏👏👏👏👏🎤♩🎼🎶🎵💘🌹🌹

Hello. From Brazil. It is an overcoming video. In addition to the music having a very strong emotional charge, Dimash, despite his poor health, decided to sing and did this wonderful thing. It is clear that in the other interpretations of this song, in its concerts, with 100% of its vocal capacity, the interpretation is much better. But I was very moved the first time I saw it. The anguish of being without a voice, the pressure of having received a call from the author of the song moments before and the effort he made. He commented that he couldn't even speak while waiting to perform and his throat hurt a lot, but he trusted in the healing action of the music and during the presentation the voice came out strong and he got the loudest tones, and then when he came back there was no voice again . At the end of the song you can see that I was in pain. It only increased my admiration. Mocha was happy with the success of Dimash kkk I wanted to suggest an interesting video clip to analyze the part of Dimash actor. And I'm also curious to hear your comments about the scenes kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orFkaa-nltrMj30.html

The violins have a pensive feel. You can see the concern on the faces of the other contestants. He could barely talk after the performance. He is phenomenal. Thank you for your reaction!

Dear Matthew, this song in any version always is very touching because of the story behind. Dimash said this song was so moving because he thinks of himself and his own family, how much he loves them and how painful it would be to lose them so he sings full of emotion 💔🖤

Thank you for sharing your video...

Great reaction Matt, good DIMASH FANTASTIC ¡¡¡¡¡¡ un abrazo desde Perú

Actually I think it was the other guy who had to sing first (sorry, don’t know his name) - the one who exchanged hugs with Dimash - because A’Lai says “Dimash was worried about you” because of the pressure. Which Dimash knows all about! Loved your reaction to this. Greetings from Florida.

Очень хотелось бы увидеть вашу реакцию на эту же песню, только с концерта ,,Бастау,, вы не пожалеете 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Спасибо огромное! Люблю дайбрик очень)

Снова с удовольствием посмотрела твою реакцию. Твой отъезд на кресле был просто улетным! Когда понимаешь, что Димаш тоже человек и могут быть проблемы с голосом - становится СТРАШНО. Димаш, дай бог тебе здоровья!

thank you

Hermoso perrito. A Dimash le encanta los perritos, como artista tiene una sensibilidad muy bonita. Dimash es el mejor cantante e interprete del mundo. América Latina lo quiere!!!

Great reaction! Dimash is very close to his parents, and I bet he felt as the child who lost his parents! Great, great great performance!

Mocha’s sneeze at the end…like the final punctuation mark. So cute!

Чувак, дай разрешение на русский перевод твоих реакций, пожалуйста! Русские хотят посмотреть твою реакцию с переводом

Wonderful reaction again Matthew, thankyou....How 💜Dimash💜got through this is truly awe inspiring and the way he sang through the emotional and physical pain is just incredible... Such a sad story and song, has me crying my eyes out every single time...... Looking forward to your next live stream, stay safe, much love to you, all the Dears and of course for the beautiful soul that is 💜Dimash💜🙏💟❤️💟❤️

Soooo excited for this and when you know all the back story.... Will break your heart...💜Dimash💜is just wonderful, in every way possible!!Much love from the UK 🙂🙏🌸🌹💕

Didn't you cry?? You do not have heart!! hehe, good reaction, you should watch the BASTAU CONCERT version again and make a unique reaction, and cry .. obviously. A hug, thanks !!

I would love to see you react to the original singer‘s performance of Daybreak. Han Hong has a very beautiful, clear voice and from what I understand is beloved in China. She doesn’t have the kind of massive range as Dimash but like I said her voice is just so nice and clear. She was on one season of The Singer show as well, and I watched all her performances from that season and enjoyed them all. She did do daybreak on the show, probably the best video to react to.

Hi Matt and Mocha 👋 Honestly, Dimash deserves all the chairslides in the world for his dedication and love for his art 👏👏💥✊ And all the milk to you, Matt for a great reaction and the most epic chairslide ever! 😁🥛🥛🥛

I see nobody has mentioned her, "Han Hong" famous Ethnic Tibetan Chinese singer well loved in China. She wrote Daybreak and a few years later adopted the kid. Watch her version (original singer) and also check some of her other songs like "Clouds of Home Town" and Olive Tree and many others.

That’s another awesome reaction 👏👏👏Thank you Matte,I really like all your reactions,Thanks again,take care,be saved,hi from Canada 🇨🇦

Very painful to watch knowing the background of the song but feeling sorry for Dimash knowing he was sick and having all the pain on his throat, but he did amazing he is a phenomenal singer and a person❤love Dimash🌷🌷🌷

Autumn Strong was the first Chinese song Dimash sang on Singer 2017 whereas this song, Daybreak was the first Chinese song he has ever heard back when he was ten years old.

This is my first time hearing this. He story brought tears to my eyes. Bless!M

Doc says no high notes. Dimash: No problem, I have no voice. Performace: Hitting high notes like nothing 😂 Or maybe I just dont hear correctly 😂

I love this song and evertime I watched the performance, I felt deep inside my heart on the message he brought to us .. in the singer performance, it is really touch your feeling.. while the Bastau version was so powerful.. Thank you Matt for another great reaction.. you did it very well...

5:50 Just a note on this section. It was not Dimash that had to sing first. In fact, it was Dimash that was worried about that dude having to sing first again. That is just Dimash being the beautifully souled selfless Dimash, worroed about someone else while he should be worrying about himself. ❤ In Singer, the artists sing in reverse order from audience ratings/expectations. Lowest sing first to highest sing last. In ep 1, SOS Dimash was disappointed that he had to sing first because of this dynamic, but that was obviously because the people did not know what to expect from a Kazakh who was gonna sing a French song, while many of them know the other Chinese artists already.

Dimash 1st listens Chinese song is Daybreak. Dimash sings the 1st Chinese song is Autumn Strong.

I love this song! This version is the best and the saddest. I dident know he was sick when I first saw it and notised something was wrong. I later understod way and then it goot even sader do to that. I can tell you that in the last show they did a carityconsert that also is for us al to see. There is versions with eng sub. There they gott 3 groupes. Dimash was in the group with Han Hong!!! So they meet there. Han Hong saide she took Dimash as his son!!! Dimash smiled with al his face. A second later another told her Terry is his father!!! Well that whent fun...It ended upp with familyphoto!! Also when they al whent to stage in the end Han Hong was first out after her Dimash and Terry came out. Terry geantley stierd Dimash wright way. When they came to the end Han Hong turened around and took Dimash arm and Terrt on the outher side did the same and pulled him forward inbetween them both. So nice , loving and conciderat of them. I love youre reactions you are so real. Also in this youre dog is so cute. She probebley feelt youre sadness and was worried aboute you. Atleast it seams liked that for me. Hug hur for me. Sorry for bad spelling. Whising you al a good week. Gonna be fun see what youre doing next

You do the best dimash reactions Thank you 💚

i was sick during this performance. But it's still incredible and soulful. SCREAMING double version, SCREAMING.......... SCREAMING.............. SCREAMING...............SCREAMING

Үлкен рахмет, Мэтт 👏👍✌

I love the dialogues (love), with your dog.

There's been a few times Di has performed sick, the others being London 2018, his debut on The World's Best in 2018, and Ekaterinburg earlier this year. It still amazes me that I can't tell he's sick unless someone tells me. He really is one hell of a performer.

Hi, my friend this song, the lyrics, Dimash beeing sick,........, what can we say?very emotional.beautiful. amazing. Love from Portugal

The Bastau version is definitely a must. I think you saw it during the lives, can't remember how much you analysed it.

Hi from Norway. Love your reviews of Dimash, as I'm totally in love with his voice ❤🎶 Would like to give you two other amazing voices to react to. Firstly a Norwegian girl named Angelina Jordan. She is 14 years old, but sings like she's 30. She won the Norwegian got talent competition at 7 years old ❤ She is amazing!! The other girl is Diana Ankudinova, a Russian 16 years old singer who actually is now working with Dimash's composer Igor Krutoy. Really dark mesmerizing voice ❤ Nobody will blow you away like Dimash, but these girls will give you goosebumps and thats always a good thing 😁😁

What a chairslide Mr lovely car fanatic. 😎😎😎😎

Dimash has the ability to TELL a story with his WHOLE body. It is just who he is. This song is heartbreaking. Dimash will give you heartbreaking. This is why this performance guts me so very much every time. I will say though that I guess a little bit of that emotion at the end that he had conveyed also mighta been a bit of relief that he managed to do well despite his voice problems. One thing that seems to be part of Dimash's demeanor, is that if things go wrong, he decides to like overachieve. This is a good example of that. (Bit stubborn too not listening to doc lol). Think of Gakku for instance. Sound system gets buggered up mid song. Dimash thinks "wth, now I need to "apologise" ". He on his knees. *Hits a D8. Enough? No. * Holds it for 5 seconds. Enough for Dimash? Hell no. *Adds Vibrato. 😅😅😅 Enough for Dimash? NO! "Gets up and sings full chest voice as if nothing had happened just a few seconds ago. Dimash in thinking world: "I HOPE I apologized enough to the audience" *Dimash however continues to beat up himself that his performance has a flaw. Dimash sets very high standards for himself. He even mentioned in his live chat to the Dears that his temper flares up easily in rehearsals. Many singers will just give up or show it in their faces if things go wrong. Dimash? Nottahell.

Awsome chairslide Matt 😂 thanks for your review and chat was on fire tonight ! Say hi to mocha what a diva 🐾🐶❤

It took him 3 weeks to fully recover from that sickness. During that 3-week period, he also needed to get through 2 more episodes, in which we would never notice if there were any lasting effects from the sickness because he sounded too perfect. 😆😆

Санкт-Петербург с вами!!!

His first song in Mandarin was Autumn Strong. Dimash really was very sick, note how this time the reactions showed were from the other contestants, they really were worried with him. This song is always a ride of emotions for me. Lovely reaction as always, stay safe. Regards from Portugal 💞💞

Hello from Ukraine! Dear Matthew, I love your reactions, be sure to watch the song performed by Dimash "Kazakhstan"

Hahahahaha! Mocha's *Bravo* was priceless!!!! You've gotta love her and the way she demands your attention!!!!!! 😍😍🐶🐶

Great reaction to Dimash singing Daybreak. Great performance by Dimash. Greetings from Amsterdam.

Another powerful performance by Dimash and your attention to details and the little nuances makes you appreciate his performance even more. Bravo Matt.

Димаш уносит в другой мир! Мэтт, ты лучший реакционер. Спасибо! Пожалуйста, посмотри выступление ещё одной неземной певицы. Диана Анкудинова вызывает своим голосом мурашки не меньше, тебе понравится. Я тебе уже оставляла ссылку на её видео с песней "Реченька" вот ещё одна ссылка, "Wicket game"kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdCmYKeC08yWhY0.html здесь Диане 15 лет.

Fabulous detailed comments from a photographer - and musician.

I just found your review videos today, and I love the attention to details in your comments and your engaging reactions. Dimash is MAGIC. Every time I hear him sing it lifts my spirits.

Great reaction as usual! I have to say I love your hair a bit shorter because you have MAGNIFICENT eyes! Not trying to be a creeper. JS!❤️mocha is EVERYTHING!!!! Doggie saved you from tears!😍

Thank you for the Coldest link Mat!!

yes, it's true...Dimash was sick the night before the competion...he actually lost his voice...the doctor had to do several injections of cortisone to his throat & he was told not to strain his voice singing high notes...but Dimash being Dimash, he still went for it & delivered a stellar performance that will go down in SINGER 2017 history...please check out Gloria Wo's version 'coz it has the full backstory of that episode...you're awesome, Matt!..

Totally love your comments and the way you analyze his songs. I couldn’t do that I was crying the whole time 😭 Love this song could not believe he was sick at the time.Love 🤴 Dimash❣️❤️❤️❤️

Ooh Matt, your Dimash Wednesdays, for me always turn into Dimash Thursedays, but either way, it's always a week, isn't it😅. But thumbs up, is coming right now, cause I know, it'll be good!!!💜💜💜 Good night😴

I saw on your iG you said something about a big chair slide coming, so I had to see what song it was. Daybreak... I think we're gonna need a bigger chair!

It's Oh My Gosh Dimash week, week after week, for months Wonderful reaction, like always ❤️

your reaction so funny 😁😀 and nice. dimash so amaaziing ❤❤.next you can react lara fabian sing 'adagio' . dimash adore her 😊

I don't think the audience knew he was sick, but the other performers sure did. You can see the tension and concern on their faces-and their respect for him too. For someone who is typically full of energy on the stage, he seemed like he could barely get up after he was on his knees. I think his physical pain merged with the pain of the song to give it twice the impact. It breaks me up every time.

I am a Dear !!!thank for reaccion ,please see the song Power Ranger ".I love this version.

I enjoy a lot watching how you react to this video, I can't stop crying everytime I heard this song. Stay safe, love your dog : )

Dimash was sick, over 104 day before. Did not effect his preformens.... Love your reaction💕

Hi everyone! Watching from Greece, it's 2 in the morning here!

and after the performance he lost his voice again:-( Dimash is the absolute Master in conveying the emotions, but if I have to choose which version of "Daybreak" is really heartbreaking it would be this one.

BRAVOOOO and MOCHA! hahahaha

at the final section you can hear his sound struggle like hold much pain in his heart

In his only TV interview on Qazaqstan TV he said he couldn't speak before or after this song! Great performance. Great video. (And then went on to attribute this break from voice loss to Allah, which is charming)

Great reaction..bravo 😎👏👌👍 Actually the first Chinese song that Dimash sang was Late autumn or Autumn Strong at episode 4 in I am Singer which zero knowledge of Chinese words but Dimash can handle it within a week. You should reach Autumn Strong or Late Autumn from Gloria Wu channel for background story..liked and subscribed 👍

Please react to Autumn Strong!!!

THANK YOU for using the Gloria Wu version. He was sick so it’s not his best version but still fantastic! I love this very emotional performance . And your reaction was great-as usual!!

Great reaction as always, FABULOUS chair slide and fantastic chat with all the Dears 😍

I have seen a lot of reactions for dimash from another people...your reactions are the best! I am enjoying your videos
