Wow.. she leaned in to pause the video during the run and I was like.. “Pause right here and I unsubscribe right now and report you to KZfaq for harassment” 😂😂😂

11:45 "maybe people don't think this is their most dramatic piece, but I think this is a very sophisticated piece" i agree

Happy Birthday!!! I've heard that the "Asian" portion of Dimash's performance is a traditional lament and homage to the dead. The back story here is that the original singer of this piece, Batyr Shukenov, a founding member of the Kazakh band A-studio (here performing with him; the guy at the piano wrote the piece) died of a heart attack at the age of 52, and Dimash sings it in his memory. I've also heard that in a sense, this piece was a sort of "audition" with Krutoy--well, not exactly, but after Krutoy attended this performance, he started collaboration with Dimash.

The moment you noticed Igor Krutoi in the audience was the moment when he decided to return from retirement to write music for Dimash.

It's impossible... DIMASH: hold my beer

You're the first person to mention his manipulation of the audience. I call it playing with the audience, the analogy of fishing fits right in there, playing with us...and he does it so well...he doesn't come into our world, he reels us into his!!!

Dimash's father Kanat said in an interview that Dimash spends a very long time with a song absorbing and analyzing it before he is ready to sing it AND Happy Birthday!

Dimash is a storyteller who uses his entire arsenal (technique, vocal range, body expression, style ...) as a resource to engage the audience in the story he is presenting! When we put the lyrics together, the story behind it, the feeling that it can awaken, then we understand that everything he does is not for personal exaltation, but to captivate and uplift what he is singing!

With so much said about Dimash's technical/natural skills... his mastery of body language often gets overlooked.... there are immense lessons in his performances regarding the use of body language in setting tone, creating pace & tension, drama, etc.. He really is a very complete package when it comes to natural/technical/emotive skillsets... I only imagine the more known he becomes, the more obvious it will become just how far ahead of nearly all other singers he really is... he's a flippin' unicorn for his abilities and a chameleon in his ability/mastery of how to use them...

Happy birthday Angel.. This performance was something else right. He's flawless 🙏🙏

The breathiness of his voice is appropriate for this song, SINFUL PASSION, intimate, beautiful.

"He''s just word-painting with his voice" - great description. Thanks, Angel.

The Band onstage originally wrote and performed this song.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! The last part of the song was actually to pay tribute to the dead singer - what you heard is usually something at a funeral. A-Studio is the original band that wrote the song and in (I believe) 2015 the original singer died and this was Dimash's way of paying respect to him - to call Dimash a good human being simply does NOT say what/who he is - he is "Dimash", which IMHO, is transcending in the way he thinks and sings! We are not watching someone sing, we are "seeing" the song for the first time through Dimash's eyes which is magical!

Finally 😍 this is my favorite Dimash performance, happy birthday 🎂

Happy Birthday, what better present to give yourself 'DIMASH' have a great day ❤

Have to say it... I've been following Dimash for about 2 years and in every ( except one) reaction all the comments are so positive... even when people disagree there is no malice or bad intentions... he himself is a very humble person and I've never ( again except once) seen bad vibes.... it's wonderful we can all enjoy music and no nastiness .... just respect and appreciation xx

Nice reaction to Dimash singing Sinful Passion. Great performance by Dimash. Greetings from Amsterdam.

Happy birthday! Nice to see you back! His Dad said once Dimash uses every cell in his body with every song he does! And he's completely drained after every concert (you could wring out his clothes....his exact words). Dimash truly invests so much emotion in each song 💜💛❤💙

Oh Lord have you heard him singing rock yet??? He does an amazing queen medley ... he has the rasp the drive... this man is endlessly fascinating and talented

I will add just a piece to all the information posted here by the others: His father said the ethnic part was a Yakuti technique (Yakutia, East Russia). Happy birthday dear lady Angel!

He is the GIFT for all of us, for the world...😇😇😇

It's a great present for everybody! 💖 my congrats with your birthday! Let's all your dreams come true! 🍸🎂👋 thanks a lot for Dimash! I love your honest and professional reactions!!! You are so charming lady 😍 God bless you!

I am so glad I discovered you, Angel. I love your investment in learning about the man. I was Dismasified on the spot when I first heard SOS over three years ago. He has opened new vistas for me and I love it when I see others with different skills exploring, as well. Happy Birthday.

Dimash our friendly neighborhood fisherman😊😆 Also happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Angel.!

Dimash uses so many colors, he keeps us guessing. That's good! Not knowing what's coming next, he baits us, keeps us in suspense. What you called a 'goat trill,' I call a 'bleat.' It involves glottal stops. It sounds like 'eh eh eh eh eh' going fast. It's a one-tone technique. What Dimash did is different. He starts it slowly, so you can hear exactly what he is doing. He's oscillating between two tones, but they're too far apart to qualify for vibrato. It's *literally* a trill. I don't think he uses any glottal stops. It's a central Asian technique, Turkic peoples in origin, I think. Kazahkstan has a *lot* of Turkic peoples, but - it's a broad category, you'll find them throughout the Middle East, central Asia and even in China. I suspect that from an identity politics standpoint, most of them identify with smaller ethnic subgroups and don't think much about the broader category. There are a number of different languages involved. (Lumping them all together is a little like characterizing some Western European languages and groups as 'Romanic.' The French don't regard themselves as Romans!) Yet there are vocal traditions among these Turkic groups that don't really exist much outside of those groups. Two-toned throat-singing and this rapid trill are examples. They have ethnic instruments not used much outside of those groups, too, such as the dombra. (Dimash plays the dombra very well, incidentally.) The technique has a name, and I've heard it, but... I'm getting old, and my memory isn't what it once was. About that long single-breath riff: Caleb Coles, an Australian singer-songwriter-musician, recently started a 'sing that riff' series of videos, and bravely, he tackled Dimash's belted upward slide and downward R&B run (though there are more influences in it than just R&B) from 'Sinful Passion.' Caleb has the range for it. He gave himself 90 minutes to study the riff, then did several takes. He shares insights. It's all very illuminating concerning what Dimash did with that single breath. If you are interested, here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftN6oLyh1cyye4E.html Caleb's video isn't an hour and a half long, thankfully, thanks to the miracle of video editing. It's only 11 minutes. Cheers!

AMAZING. BEAUTIFUL. DIMASH IS INCREDIBLE. Thanks

For these song he invited the original band who wrote the song in the 90S, the lead vocal died tragically, the melisma he song in the midlle is an ancient ritual for the dead. And yes 23 second .

It just shows how good Dimash is if every song he makes is your/my new favorite, regardless the order you watch it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY

Поздравляю Вас с Днем Рождения!!! Всех благ!!! Вы очень милая!!!

OMG I kept yelling at the screen "don't stop, don't stop".....😂! Your analysis is so detailed and informative. I love the way you described his emotional performance, how he draws us into his world rather than throwing his talent at the audience. The way I think about it is that his technique is so developed and perfected, when he goes on stage he is able to transcend technique and deploy it purely in the service of the song and the story. (Like Callas?) And yes this was the moment when Krutoy decided to come out of retirement to write for Dimash. Happy Birthday!

Oh, how I have dreamed of hearing Dimash sing Puccini.... I have never seen a picture of any of his sheet music nor heard much about his methodology other than he and his parents all saying that he "passes each song through his heart" when deciding whether and how to perform it. (How perfectly poetic.) I appreciate you calling that 22.5 second run a cadenza; that dignifies it in a way that it deserves much more than calling it a "run." What a glorious piece of music. I hope you have now listened to it a few times uninterrupted. Each segment is so good but the way they flow together is what makes this a true masterpiece. Thanks again for another wonderful reaction.

Happy birthday 🤗🤗🤗💁🏻‍♀️ perfect present listening to Dimash💁🏻‍♀️

Dear Angel, Happy Birthday, Feliz Cumpleaños!!!!!My best wishes to you, may all your dreams come true and have a blessed year! Thank you for your rection, Dimash owesome as always, regards from Colombia

This is the festival "New Wave" in Sochi (Russia). There was a competition of young performers and concerts of Russian artists. Dimash acted as a guest at the jubilee concert of the Kazakh group "A-studio". Baigali Serkebaev - the author of the song - plays the piano here. It was a phenomenal performance! Superb low notes at the beginning, unreal high notes at the end. And again the oriental tones in the song! Melismа in the finale together with the last "Дай" - 23 seconds! Dimash used kazakh singing technique. Saha people ( Russia) uses this technique too.

Happy birthday!! Stay safe and healthy. Remember to wash your hands for over 20 seconds, or a single Dimash phrase.

The thing I love most about Dimash is his philanthropic work. He gives millions of dollars to a variety of charities. The dude also goes to hospitals and interacts with patients. Dimash is humble and angelic

Dear Angel, that is when Igor knew he wanted to compose several new songs for Dimash's voice. They might have never got together if he hadn't been there that night.

Dimash has mastered breathy singing to the point where he can use it to sing pianissimo much softer than most of others who don't have that good control or can't go as soft without losing the pitch.

Happy birthday, Angel! What a terrific birthday present you've chosen. I agree, Dimash doesn't so much push himself out to us, as he draws us into the internal world he's creating with his voice. We become included in the artist's painting in an incredibly unusual way. I love this song, and liked even more his reprise of "Sinful Passion" at his first Moscow solo concert, an astonishing performance. If you get a chance to watch it, I think you'll enjoy it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8-ldriIuLjeeo0.html 🧡 BTW, you look great as a blonde!

I wish you, belatedly, a very happy birthday! I'm really happy to have the opportunity to hear another of your wonderful reactions to Dimash's lovely voice.

this is my favorite dimash song especially because of that riff he goes off on for like 24seconds on one breath at the end

Have seen a number of reactions by other wannabe voice coaches to Dimash. You stand alone when breaking down his music! So very well done and as much as I enjoyed Dimash perform another wonderful piece your analysis was equally enjoyable! Happy birthday my lady!

I know what you're saying. When I watch and listen to Dimash, I am GLAD I'm an accountant and not a singer! LMAO! ;)

Dimash is honest. His musical instincts are genius. He's above average intelligence. A heart of gold. Passion. Yes he understand how to affect people on an emotional level because is there with us. He's not throwing anything in your face. He's inviting you to take a journey with him. He's not trying to have a stylistic voice or a trendy one. People who can't sung use that quite well. Bob Dylan. But Dimash ....even as a classically singer...is not trying to emulate anyone's style. He's just honest and highly talented. He's a master musician and vocalist. Dimash puts it all out there....but it's not always the same kind of emotion. He's a rich fabric and a deep well. Which includes humor and fun. But for the most part...Dimash is a serious individual. He saves his emotional expressiveness for the stage. Put him down with Mozart, Rembrandt, and Hemingway. How blessed we are to witness him in real time. The true essence of Dimash comes from the singer himself. The man. You can't teach that. Regardless of ones skill level.

This's basically the performance when Igor fall for Dimash 😁

Hello, I’m from Brazil! 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. In addition, the final part he added, with an oriental technique (traditional cazaq singing). Is a funeral lament, paying homage to the dead vocalist? Brilliant! The song was originally performed in 1998 and the band's name is A'Studio. The dead singer left the band in 2000 and passed away in 2015 and his name was Batyrkhan Shukenov. The lyrics are by the poet Ilia Reznik together with Baigaly Serkebyev, who is the keyboardist with long hair, which we see in the video accompanying Dimash. Happy Birthday!

Thank you very much for the great mood that you give to all of us every time you go on the air with reactions to Dimash, or especially when you sing yourself!!! :) You have excellent vocal skills, natural charm, sense of humor and self-irony! And a special thank you for always doing everything sincerely, from the bottom of your heart! I wish you creative success and health! Stay always the same talented, positive and cheerful! Thank you for everything!!! With love from Russia, Saint Petersburg.

Thank you for your reaction to Dimash!!!

First of all many happy returns for the day and secondly it's was typical middle eastern and central asia sort of yodeling which you will find in folk song across the region

I know Dimash conveys emotion without the need to understand the lyrics, but Since SOS, I noticed that with the lyrics subtitles, his switching tone and "color" becomes so much more meaningful. In this song for example, the repeated phrase: "Give me" is sung with different tone each time: he requests, he pleads, he begs, he cries, he demands etc. Absolutely mesmerizing.

That is for sure nobody even if they have 6 degrees will never sign like him he is out of this planet From Montreal Quebec Canada

Happy birthday Angela💐🌹you're reaction is a must to watch🙏🏼seeing such a professional singer being blown away is just the best thing in the world.

С днем рождения дорогая!!! Спасибо за реакцию.

Happy birthday! I'm glad you recognized Krutoy. I've heard that he invited Dimash to perform at this event and that it launched their collaboration. He sings some lighter, fun pop or patriotic songs that some people grumble about. But I see that as (1) appealing to a broader audience and (2) giving him a little breather when he's singing for two hours in a concert. Two hours straight of "Sinful Passion" or "Ogni Pietra" would simply be too much work. If you listen to the same song performed at different venues, you'll see that he doesn't come up with a single styling that he repeats ad infinitem. Every concert is tailored to fit.

С днем рождения!!!Желаю волшебных полетов в космос с песнями ДИМАША!!!Спасибо!!!

The run at the end was around 25 seconds on one breath blew me away when i heard it as well x

Dimash always sings in his own way, and I love it, thanks for your reaction.

Angel!! I love you so much!! Thank you THANK YOU for appreciating each nuance of Dimash's voice and performance!! All you're saying are right on point!! It's such a big compliment to Dimash to be admired by a great singer like you! By watching your videos, I know that you're honest and outspoken so when you give compliments, you really mean it!! If only everyone were as knowledgeable as you, Dimash would have it easy! Too bad there are many people out there who know so little about vocals that they keep on talking bad about his technique, his emotions, his performance, his talent..... HIM 😔 Plus, he's such a nice and humble person offstage, I just feel like he doesn't deserve all these hatred 😢 but what can I say? With talent comes jealousy 😔 I guess every successful person in this world has haters 🤷‍♀️ Sorry for being mellow here! 😅 Thank you so much for ur reaction Angel! 😘

Though you say you're reading captions, we're not seeing them - only Dimash. Would be good to see them. About that mystery to Dimash, how he makes us feel - it is not only his talent, technique, & training - it is his focus, his energy. There is a rare purity in him that flows through his work. He puts his whole soul/spirit/being into all of his singing, unlike others; always fully Present. ~♥~

I've watched so many reactions to this song, and no one could get and elaborate this performance as detailed as you iust did!

А что,все наши спят уже? Поддержим отличный обзор

i love your reactions Angel! so much detail to absorb with Dimash. its no wonder that music schools use him as teacher aid. Please can you react to A Thousand Miles a Dream - Dimash's contribution to Classical Wings (Chinese show). the panel includes a music professor who was apparently so taken with D's performace he kept taking pictures interfering with the filming that Dimash had to sing twice! many thanks for your reactions too!

I'd love you to react to "Know" at the VTB Arena Ice Palace in Moscow. With Igor Krutoy, full Orchestra, Choir and World and Olympic Ice Skaters. This is a work of Art. Also "Autumn Strong" at his Arnau concert in Keiv last March. This is a Masterpiece. Keep safe 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

"when the spirit moves" comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Love your analysis ❤️

Okay, so I'm bingeing on Dimash reactions. This was very worthwhile.

Celebrations of you, Angel! I've heard that Dimash just defended his Master's thesis, and has been approved to begin his doctoral program, in Kazakhstan!!

Спасибо ,за профессиональную реакцию! С Днем Рождения -всех благ ,Вам,вдохновения,успехов,здоровья,благополучия и процветания!Вы очень красивая женщина!

Hello Angel! 😊 Happy Birthday, girl! 😊 Wish you all the best! You look gorgeous in blond (but you always do anyway 😊) This was the first performance Igor saw of Dimash and it's very uncommon in Russia, and almost considered "non-classy" to give standing ovations. But he did for Dimash 😊 Because of Dimash he decided to come back from retirement, and he said in an interview that he was so happy to have found Dimash because he was the singer he had always dreamed of and that he finally ha the honor to realize ideas he had always had because he had finally found the singer who could make it reality. They have also becme good friends. He often praises Dimash's personality, says he's a very special person, has such a strong and kind aura etc.. and Dimash on the other hand has always been a fan of Igor. There's an old social media profile of Dimash on which 14 year old Dimash said it was one of his biggest dreama to work with Igor Krutoy one day... it's really cute 😊 I'm so thankful fr the collaboration 😊for both of them 😊 and for us to enjoy the results 😊😄 You need to watch this interview of Dimash 😊(see link in the comment below) it's the one in which he talks the most about his musical practice 😊 he also says in it that he practices his singing 3 hours each say. I'm not sure how accurate the subtitles are, e.g. the technical terms, but I believe it's a good translation 😊 Btw, 2 days ago he graduated from the Kazakh National University of Arts with a Master's Degree in composition 😊 he received full possible 100 points for his Master's thesis and his defense of it. Unfortunately, I don't know the topic of his thesis 😢 would be interesting to know.. I hope you enjoy your birthday, girl 😊 pamper yourself a little! 😄😊Best wishes from Austria 😊

Happy birthday! Thank you for your reaction to Sinful Passion!

Goshhh I love your reactions to Dimash. They are a treat for me! Wishing you the best.

Undoubtedly Dimash's crowning glory...

Hello! I missed your reactions 💕 Welcome, back. 🌸 Edit: Happy Birthday 🎁🎂🎉

Happy Birthday, Angel! ❤❤❤❤

Happy birthday! This is one of my favourite Dimash songs, I've been hoping you'd react to it, looks like you have me a present as well

Happy Birthday :) Love your reactions. Hugs from Norway :)

Dimash is wonderful, 😫 I can’t wait to be in one of his concerts 😻 Happy belated birthday 🎂🥰

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. In addition, the final part he added, with an oriental Arab technique (or traditional qazaq singing, called Joqtaw), is a funeral lament, paying homage to the dead vocalist: Brilliant! The song was originally performed in 1998 and the band's name is A'Studio. The dead singer left the band in 2000 and passed away in 2015 and his name was Batyrkhan Shukenov.

Happy Birthday!! And thank you for another great reaction!

Feliz cumpleaños angel, estoy encantado de volver a verte, un beso bien grande desde barcelona.

I'm really glad you didn't interrupt the end of the song with a comment so no worries, you let him finish and that was the right thing to do, thank you for that! and thanks for your reaction it was great!

Subhanallah Indah sungguh suara nya Kurniaan Ilahi...

Happy Birthday, Angel!!!! 🎂🎂🎂💐💐💐💐

You chose the right song as a birthday gift, enjoy it few more times! Many happy returns of the day! Huge fan of your reactions!

I love your hair, you are beautiful blonde though your brunette hair is equally as gorgeous, Happy Birthday Angel!

Happy Belated Birthday! 🎉🎂🎁🎊one word: amazing 😉 actually one word: constrast. His range is beyond what other use but it is more then living in several registers, more then the dynamic changes he does, it’s is the styles he uses from phrase to phrase or as you noted in the middle of a phase. Add in the vibrational changes to convey emotions...and voila: Dimash!

Oh Angel, I cannot express how much I appreciate your reactions. Brilliant! Thanks and Happy Birthday!

She’s baaaack!!! Isn’t he just the ☀️?!

On Utube watch "the ultimate Dimash guide " parts 1-11 it will tell you all about Dimash, from his teachers,vocal training, family, personality, everything you could ever want to know about him. He is as spectacular a human being as he is a singer.❤❤

That was beautiful and insightful. Thanks

I learn a lot with you, thank you

This performance he sang was before Igor Kutroy start to compose songs for Dimash. Dimash sing this cover song, the original singer is from Kazakhstan he died some years ago. Thanks for your great reaction. God bless you. Thanks 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

thank you, рахмет, өте қызық, Алматыдан сәлем❤

3 years late, but I'm here for this reaction. I'm an aspiring producer and Dimash has recently(ish) garnered my attention and fascination. I am hellbent on learning as much as possible from and about him so that, when I find a vocalist who fits my music perfectly, I can give them clearer instruction on what I expect and then adapt. Every time I listen to Dimash, I'm hit with an emotional rollercoaster that leaves me inspired to try and produce music that would, in theory, grab his attention, or the attention of vocalists/artists just as skilled. Music that would have them WANTING to sing the song. I hope that you had a blast for your birthday and, from myself, thank you for your detail to talent.

normal people: I want to sing like my favorite singer normal singer: I want to sing like Dimash 🤣

I’d love Dimash and Vangelis to work together. Mythodea was magnificent, they could, together, create a perfect blend of complete other worldliness.

Happy birthday Angel ,nice present for all of us. 🥰

Angel! Happy birthday!! 😘😘😘 You did a present for us instead of vice versa. Thanks for the reaction. Love you! Almaty, Kazakhstan.
