He can sings comfortably and sustains note on D6 with precise staccati, belting on E6 for 10 seconds with vibrato, does mixed on C6, belting long note on E5, F5, G5. He does F6 as the onset in opera, he also practiced Magic Flute before the show just for fun! Make a whistle sounds like a real whistle blower, louder and stronger than female whistle! F#7, E7, G7, G#7 is his favorite whistle, he goes up to D8 fully controlled on stage with vibrato!! His vocal technique is insane!!!
The way I found to celebrate the majesty of Dimash's talent was to have written the following about him: If I were to rule the world, I would immediately add, to the universal declaration of human rights, another article (they would become 31) whose wording would next "All human beings have the right, at least once in their lives, to hear Dimash sing". I am a Professor and I believe that I have a special profession that allows me to transform the human heart and consequently the human society. I work with young people and young people need to have good references. I had been looking for someone for a long time, of whom I could speak to the young people I work with, as a good reference. That person should be young, a super talent, a super mega star in the art world and above all, because he is the most important, a good human person. I searched and never found anyone with these characteristics. Until, finally, I found this person and that person is Dimash. I had the opportunity to say this to Dimash, personally, when I was with him in Latvia where I went, coming from Portugal (there are 8000 km round trip), on the 7th of March 2020.

@@VoxTapeStudios Dear VoxTape Studios I'll tell you about my meeting with Dimash. At the end of the concert on March 7, 2020 in Riga (Latvia), I asked security guards to take a Portuguese flag to Dimash for him to sign. The security guards were very friendly and took the flag. A few minutes later, a member of Dimash's staff appeared and told me that it was not possible for him to sign the flag because he was leaving for the airport. He gave me a postcard signed by him. I was all happy. And I also went to the airport because I had a plane at 6:00 am to return to Portugal. I arrived at the airport at about 10:30 pm. I knew Dimash had to go to the airport, but I figured he was going through a VIP door. As I had many hours of waiting, I decided to lie down on the airport benches. Around 00:00 I woke up to applause. I thought, is it Dimash? I looked at the check-in area and saw a large crowd. I started walking towards the check-in area. About 50 meters away, Dimash looked at me and I opened my arms as if to say "you will have to talk to me". When I arrived at Dimash (he was wearing a mask) I told him that I had traveled 8000 km to see and hear him sing and asked him if he could take a picture with me. Dimash didn't even hesitate for a second and said "Sure". He left check-in (walked about 100 meters because he had to leave the opposite side to what I was in). When he reached me, he took off his mask and smiled. We took the picture. I asked him for a few minutes to say a few words (those were the ones I wrote in the previous comment). While he spoke, Dimash was always silent and smiling, showing great respect for me. I said goodbye to him and ran to my wife who had not realized that I had separated from her. When I arrived with my wife, she didn't want to believe that I had taken a picture with Dimash. She immediately ran to check-in along with a friend who had accompanied us (we went 3 from Portugal to Riga for the Dimash concert). When they arrived at check-in they started talking to Dimash. Once again he was very generous and polite to them. I didn't meddle in the conversation. I had already had my moment with Dimash and now it was their turn. What I did was go to the bathroom to wash my face because I was still a little under the influence of having suddenly woken up and had a somewhat miraculous experience. When I returned from the bathroom, Dimash's entourage was leaving check-in. Dimash's father was ahead. Out of respect for Dimash's father, I stopped and bowed my head. Dimash, seeing this, left the group and addressed me (walked maybe 10 meters). He grabbed my right hand with both hands and said "Bye sir". It was a mystical experience that I will never forget. With friendship Rui Baptista
Yes, agreed! A strong moral backbone, a core of integrity and approaching others from a place of respect is vital in dealings with all humans. Dimash shows us all how this is done!
This man is just extraordinary.. He is human, but actually superhuman. What's even more astounding is that he keeps developing and improving with each new performance! There are three more performances of this song, from Arnau Nur-Sultan and Kiev, and New York which illustrates what I'm saying.. Great reaction thanks!
Dimash sings like no one else I have ever heard. He has perfect and exact control of his "instrument". He can sing anything and do it well. Please react to more of his performances. Your reactions and commentary are very enjoyable. Thanks for your efforts.
"I watched a clip of Dimash on RUclips a couple of years ago and my mind was blown" So blown in fact that I left it another couple of years to follow him up. When I discovered Dimash I binged for two days any and everything that he's sung on RUclips. _That's_ a blown mind !!
@@VoxTapeStudios Great! If you do, please don’t react to the version at the European Games (he’s only visible for a few seconds of the entire song!). Here’s the link to his performance at his solo concert in Kazakhstan: ruclips.net/video/dkPS6t84qg4/видео.html
Truly a good recommendation - especially with the preliminary appearance of Igor Krutoy at the front of the audience during Sinful Passion. Aside from a few ill-timed pauses (of course you wouldn’t know before you listen that they’re ill-times, but those of us who have listened faithfully for a while to Dimash are screaming “Don’t do it here! You’ll miss...!” ). :)
He sings in many genres, many languages, slayed all register, range from E1 D1 F1 to D8( off piano) . Nailed all vocal techniques and breath control for days!
And what I love about your reaction is: you didn't do any pointless comparison of him with any other singers... he's exceptional.and I know you realize that.thank you ma'am.
Great reaction! Dimash is phenomenal artist. Please react to him singing Olimpico from Arnau concert. And please don't wait another 2 years 🙂 you've been missing a lot...
Hi Beautiful lady DIMASH is amazing crazy good , I loved your explanations you know the music you are really briliant, please more Dimash songs , Thanks for this moment.Big KISS from PARIS.
Dimash is absolutely amazing. He is the best technically trained singer in the world today. It’s impossible to but him in any kind of classification. He is capable of singing, opera, classical, pop, folk, jazz, and he can even rap. His songs are unique because of the way he arranges them , they are a mix of all genres. Thanks for your wonderful reaction. Please continue to listen to more performances by this amazing young man. I promise you will not be disappointed.🎼🎶🎤❤️🇺🇸
What a wonderful and authentic reaction! Awesome! He’s just unbelievable. I’ve never heard anything like it. Just gorgeous. I agree, it’s not just his voice, his stage presence is mesmerizing too. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Keep reacting to him and his many songs! The huge fandom will support you . Enjoy your reaction and many fans love very deep analysis to his vocals! Just when you think you hear and know all about him, he will keep surprise you every songs , even the same song in different stages. I have followd him and his music for 3 years now, and still think he is the ULTIMATE academic vocal powerhouse even there are so many great vocalists out there, even for male and female vocalists! 😊🙏🏻 he is still young and maybe not at his prime vocal peak yet!
THANKS for your reactions to Dimash!!!!......The vocalize is E6 highest note vocalized and whistle, air flow control 24 seconds Amazing Riff!!!!.......Dimash is in his own class, there’s good singers there’s great singers and then there’s Dimash. ...... greetings from a Mexican Dear ❤️👏🏻🇲🇽🇰🇿
He inspired so many musicians, that's why I like to watch the reaction video of Dimash ;)) The best part of those is that he showed us the potential of human being and that will drive the people to evolve the music!
Loved your review. I greatly enjoy watching new reviewers get, as they say, Dimashified. I've lost count of how many nights over the past year or so that I've sat up till the wee hours of the morning watching and listening to Dimash, only stopping long enough to pick my jaw up from off the floor. I was a professional singer for 25 years, been in all kinds of talent competitions and have heard a lot of singers. But this guy? THIS GUY??? He's in a whole different league. I dare say the best in the world. We are blessed to have him. Please do more reviews. We'll both enjoy them 😁
Hey darling, loved your reaction!! He's out of this world, just unmatched ❤ Maybe to go on, try his performances of love is like a dream, love of tired swans, know, passione, ogni pietra(olimpico), opera 2... He has a bunch of amazing performances, you're gonna love it!! ❤
Dimash lives the music, Dimash lives the song. Throw in incredible stage presence (once he's on stage....all eyes and ears will focus solely on him......even many of those who attended his sold out concerts said so including a RUclipsr called Dear John who attended Dimash's sold out ARNAU ENVOY CONCERT in New York's Barclays Centre on December 10th, 2019).
@@VoxTapeStudios, i would really like you to do Daybreak. He did a song cover for that song. It’s about this kid that’s parents passed away and she got adopted and the woman who adopted her wrote that song based on the dreams the little girl had with her parents.
Thank you. I have been a Canadian (Dimash) Fan for almost 4 years. I personally believe, Dimash is a Music Virtuoso of our time. He is from Kazakhstan and Dimash will be 27 in May 2021. Dimash has been formally training and performing for over 21 years. At the age of 5 years old it was determined he had perfect pitch. Dimash is often referred to as the Best Singer in the World. Dimash is known for his exceptionally wide vocal range. Many Vocal Coaches and Singers have differing opinions whether Dimash is a Baritone, Tenor or Contralto. It is recorded that he has a range higher than Six (6) Octaves and continues to improve his ranges and techniques. Dimash is a phenomenal Vocal Storyteller. Dimash calls his style an "Innovation" [Neo-Classicism] in the Classical Crossover Genre. Dimash combines many Styles such as Classical (Opera), Contemporary (Modern, Pop, R&B, Jazz, Rap), Estrada and traditional Kazakh folk music. Dimash is multi-talented, Singer [12 languages], Multi-instrumentalist [7 instruments], Composer and Performer. He also recently co-directed one of his own Music Videos. Dimash [he is 1.91 cm / 6ft 3in tall] has also done Modelling for well known Fashion Labels, Lifestyle and Fashion magazines. Dimash graduated in 2014 from Music Institute in Classical Music with Major in Vocal Opera (Bel Canto). Dimash continued his education with University studies in Contemporary Music and graduated in 2018 with a Major in Vocal Contemporary Pop & Jazz. In the Summer of 2020, Dimash graduated with a Master of Music Composition. Dimash has been invited for 2020/2021 to continue his doctorate studies in Music at the same University. Dimash speaks Kazakh, Russian and has a working knowledge of English.
It is a phenomenal experience to be in the audience for a live Dimash performance or Concert. I attended his Solo «Arnau-Envoy» Concert at Barclays NYC, USA in December 2019, it was an awesome experience.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏💕💕💕💕💕🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 Great reaction!!! Welcome to the world of Dimash! And to the worldwide community of Dears ( what Dimash calls his fans)! You must be a great vocal coach to immediately notice how Dimash did that entire section in one breath...!!! He is simply the best vocalist that ever lived. Please do react to more Dimash: Love is Like a Dream; Across Endless Dimensions; Unforgettable Day (make sure it’s the version from the Gakku concert)- incidentally a song he composed at age 17. Adagio; Confessa & Diva Dance. Thank you!
The best of world! Welcome a world dimash!!!! Please, reactions , sos, adagio,your love,unforgettable day en gakku,daybreak en bastau, bello,love of tired swans ,ogni pietra, opera 2 ...etc...👍
He is Dimash the best singer in the world, the best voice in the world, he can sing any type of music any musical rhythm professionally, he never goes out of tune, he sings perfectly according to many singing teachers and music producers that's why Dimash is called THE BEST VOICE IN THE WORLD
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH and want to HUGZ YOU!!!! Yes life is always like this.There are ALWAYS people out there better than the rest but the way you handle yourselve the pure innocent RAW honest emotions!!! GIVING CREDIT to where its due to dimash but also staying STRONG and FIRM to who you are as a vocal coach.Like my grandma said " he is not the best Singer in the world but the best Vocalist" but this doesnt make the rest of us obsolete. Yes as perfect as DImash can appear he also has weaknessess so just appreciate this one in a lifetime human being.they come and go so RARELY.
What a wonderful reaction! If you watch Sinfull Passion-a fancam from Moscow concert, you will see up and close the vocal art created before our own eye! And that last 24 second riff up and close! Amazing❤️ Liked and subscribed!
Great reaction and analysis, i love it. And you are mind blown, goosbumps. Dimash always uses a lot of technical vocals in every performance. That's what makes us never get bored of seeing his performance, even with the same song. Continue to react to other Dimash songs, there will be more surprises there😁😍💖
I’ve heard Dimash singing this song probably 100 times and every time I am left speechless. Your reaction is great but even greater because of the fact that you commented on the length of the breathing (or the lack of breathing) in the final part of his performance. I’ve seen so many reactions were people do not realize the difficulty of it. Without air there is not sound but Dimash could probably sing under the water. He is definitely from a different planet.
I stumbled on Dimash last year when SOS popped up on my suggested list. I ignored it for a while but finally listened to it and just sat there with my mouth open! I couldn't believe anyone, much less a man, could sing like that. Then I listened to Opera 2 which blew me away as I'd heard Vitas' version, and when Dimash outdid Vitash by modulating up twice more than Vitas did, I couldn't believe it. The next song I heard was this one and I just was awestruck and started down a rabbit hole that I remain on to this day. Even if his style of singing isn't your cup of tea, there's no denying the incredible talent and technique Dimash has. I'm not sure there's anyone out there today who has everything Dimash does from the control, range, stage presence, etc. He's working on his English, and if he gets pretty good with that, I think he'll explode here in the USA if he can come over and do concerts!
The only question on my mind is how you went "a couple of years" without hearing any more Dimash. From the first time I heard him I was hooked, and haven't stopped since.
Спасибо Вам за прекрасное настроение и реакцию на выступление Димаша. Dimash the Best of the Best singer in the world. Thank you for your beautiful reakcion.
Thanks for your reaction. If you want more Dimash try Love is Like a Dream to round off the ‘Dimash reactions pack’. But there is so much more he can do from folk, opera, pop and lets just be honest and call it a new genre ‘Dimash’.
Thanks for the reaction again, I have a suggesstion that may help you, just from my experience of who have binged a LOT dimash reaction videos for awhile. 😂😂😂 just something I noticed and think the fans will like a lot: 1) don’t pause in the middle of the note, let him finishes it! Lol. I know he has many long note for one breath. 2) pick the right performance and stage ( avoid the World Best show in America, that show did dirty to him and cut and chop his performaces) you can do poll and vote on community tab so that you will react the right best performance, not only him but other singers too. 3) talk more about how easy/ hard of what he does in the song, deep analysis. Any fan of any singer will love to hear that rather than just “ amazing” “ awesome” 4) BE YOURSELF AND authentic with you, whether you like the song or not, just honest! 😊😊 I know one vocal coach who gave many detailed analysis and dive in his music for several months, her channel is quite big now, and before Dimash, she had over 1000 subs. Wish you the best and enjoy Dimash journey! Thanks!
That yodel-like run is called "caprino," meaning "goat-like." It's a bleating that is used sometimes in middle and far eastern music. In most other areas of the world, caprino is considered a breath control failure that results in a distressed vibrato. In Dimash's neck of the woods (Kazakhstan), it's a trained skill that not many people can do. Clearly, Dimash is one of the few.
Just when he pulls an Arabic zaghrouta (yodeling/ululation) out of his vocal bag of brilliance, he pulls off an amazing 25 second run without taking a single breath. DIMASH IS AMAZING!!!!
He is absolutely magical! I had to stop cause I felt too bad about myself. Now I have learned that he‘s just magical so no need to feel bad anymore hahah!
Oh nice reaction girl. I really, really hope you do more Dimash reactions because I promise I will watch it along with 100,000's of Dears (Dimash fans) So many songs from Dimash and in so many genres. I highly recommend the stuff he did on The Singer 2017 in China, don't know if you are ready for his guest appearance in 2018 and sang Hello yet, that last minute or so is amazing. Plenty of other stuff and he seems to come up with something every single time that surprises you, hope you decide to check him out more and I hope you share that with us.
I'm from Russia and I'm glad to see your surprise and admiration about Dimash, and by the way, you're cute and very good at talking about vocals, very good, you're good
Is this the greatest vocal run of all time? Genuinely curious -- if you know of anything that tops this, please let me know. I've never heard anything quite like it.
Thank you for your reaction 👌!! It's truly "Unbelievable" the control he has!!! I was introduced to Dimash 2 years ago and have been listening to him ever since. I have never, ever heard anybody that can sing like him. He is a "Once in a Lifetime Man"!!
I really enjoyed watching your genuine reactions and overall analysis. I've seen a ton of these vocal coach impressions of Dimash, and nearly EVERY one says that he's not from this planet. I love, love, love everything about his singing, his movement, and how he fills a song emotionally. This is my favorite.
Thank you so much for watching my reaction to the amazing Dimash! What did you think of his performance? 🤗

Wohooo!! 🙌🤗
Just imagine the pressure of being that triangle soloist.
Hahaha i loved him!!
He actually accompanied Dimash in many of his live concerts. He is the percussionist.
I always look forward to that part!
U are "Dimashified" ! Welcome in his world, another dimension ! He s an Alien !
Hahaha he for sure is! Just soooo amazing!
This man is just extraordinary.. He is human, but actually superhuman. What's even more astounding is that he keeps developing and improving with each new performance! There are three more performances of this song, from Arnau Nur-Sultan and Kiev, and New York which illustrates what I'm saying.. Great reaction thanks!
Thank you! I‘ll have to check these performances out 🤗
From a Moscow concert March 2019 you can hear better the trills ( it's technique from the folk music of many countries ) .😘😘😘
More like an alien dolphin bat if you ask me :)
HELLO
GREAT REACTION
DIMASH THE BEST VOICE IN THE WORLD 100%
AMAZING SINGER!
WELCOME TO THE WORLD DIMASH!
Thank you and yes I would have to agree with you! Just stunning 🤗
Dimash sings like no one else I have ever heard. He has perfect and exact control of his "instrument". He can sing anything and do it well. Please react to more of his performances. Your reactions and commentary are very enjoyable. Thanks for your efforts.
Thank you so much! I will try to react to more of his stuff, he‘s just so amazing I don‘t know what to say! 🙈😂🤗
@@VoxTapeStudios ❤️
It may have already been mentioned in the previous 500-plus comments before mine, but he's been singing and performing since age 4, and he is 27 now
"I watched a clip of Dimash on RUclips a couple of years ago and my mind was blown"
So blown in fact that I left it another couple of years to follow him up.
When I discovered Dimash I binged for two days any and everything that he's sung on RUclips.
_That's_ a blown mind !!
I was obsessing over that one video that I came across and then felt terrible about myself so I stopped 😂🙈 he is truly amazing 🤗
@@VoxTapeStudios ♡♡♡
olympico has to be next i think, also know as Ogni Petra. He sang it at the oprning of Euro-olympics
Thanks for the suggestion! I‘ll look into it 🤗
@@VoxTapeStudios Great! If you do, please don’t react to the version at the European Games (he’s only visible for a few seconds of the entire song!). Here’s the link to his performance at his solo concert in Kazakhstan: ruclips.net/video/dkPS6t84qg4/видео.html
@@BelleNewman thanks for sharing that!
Truly a good recommendation - especially with the preliminary appearance of Igor Krutoy at the front of the audience during Sinful Passion. Aside from a few ill-timed pauses (of course you wouldn’t know before you listen that they’re ill-times, but those of us who have listened faithfully for a while to Dimash are screaming “Don’t do it here! You’ll miss...!” ). :)
@@VoxTapeStudios yes please BUT only if you share your reaction with us! 😉
He sings in many genres, many languages, slayed all register, range from E1 D1 F1 to D8( off piano) . Nailed all vocal techniques and breath control for days!
Yeah I think we can agree that he is outerworldly 🙈🙈🤗🤗
You need to react to Ogni Pietra (also called Olimpico) and Love is Like a Dream if you ever reacted to them. You'll get your mind blown again.
Thanks for the suggestion! I‘ll look into it 🤗
And what I love about your reaction is: you didn't do any pointless comparison of him with any other singers... he's exceptional.and I know you realize that.thank you ma'am.
Hahahaha there‘s no point with him to compare to anyone else... he‘s a whole different level!
Dimash = Vocal Genius
100% agree
I've been watching reaction vids to this all day, and I can't help but think this guy is a better singer then all the vocal coaches on youtube.
The Amazing Dimash! Great video!
Thank you!!
Отличная реакция. Спасибо большое!
He's not human. He's vocal range and cleaning. He's amazing.
99.9% sure are gonna get a lot of subscriptions from dears :D
Well wouldn‘t that be great? 🤗🤗🤗
Great reaction! Dimash is phenomenal artist. Please react to him singing Olimpico from Arnau concert. And please don't wait another 2 years 🙂 you've been missing a lot...
Thanks for the suggestion and don‘t worry I won’t be waiting to listen to more of his stuff ;)
Great reaction! Do more Dimash....keep getting blown away....
Thank you and will do! He‘s too amazing not to listen to 😇
Hi Beautiful lady DIMASH is amazing crazy good , I loved your explanations you know the music you are really briliant, please more Dimash songs , Thanks for this moment.Big KISS from PARIS.
Dimash is absolutely amazing. He is the best technically trained singer in the world today. It’s impossible to but him in any kind of classification. He is capable of singing, opera, classical, pop, folk, jazz, and he can even rap. His songs are unique because of the way he arranges them , they are a mix of all genres. Thanks for your wonderful reaction. Please continue to listen to more performances by this amazing young man. I promise you will not be disappointed.🎼🎶🎤❤️🇺🇸
He is one of a kind for sure... and i have no doubts that i won‘t be disappointed, he‘s too good!!
Please react to AUTUMN STRONG( I am singer 2017), WE ARE ONE, OGNI PIETRA/OLIMPICO ( ARNAU).
Thanks for the suggestion! I‘ll look into it 😇
Yes, you got Dimashed. There is a cure, more Dimash.
He touches and awakens your soul, hence the goosebumps.
What a wonderful and authentic reaction! Awesome! He’s just unbelievable. I’ve never heard anything like it. Just gorgeous. I agree, it’s not just his voice, his stage presence is mesmerizing too. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much! And yes, there's nothing quite like him... so amazing!
You're the 126th vocal coach reacting to Dimash on RUclips! Congratulations! :)
Oh wow really? Hahahaha that‘s crazy! 😂
ЛАЙК!!! ДИМАШ в этой песне всем показал как петь, а именно про страсть грешную! Пой ДИМАШ не останавливайся ...
He was holding his breath at the end for 23 seconds! OMG!
Keep reacting to him and his many songs! The huge fandom will support you . Enjoy your reaction and many fans love very deep analysis to his vocals! Just when you think you hear and know all about him, he will keep surprise you every songs , even the same song in different stages. I have followd him and his music for 3 years now, and still think he is the ULTIMATE academic vocal powerhouse even there are so many great vocalists out there, even for male and female vocalists! 😊🙏🏻 he is still young and maybe not at his prime vocal peak yet!
It is hard to imagine that he can get even better... but he keeps surprising us, so who knows!! 🙈🙈
Very very good reaction, thanks👍🌹 pls more dimash reaction.
Thank you so much =) any particular song in mind? =)
@@VoxTapeStudios olympico aka ogni pietra
THANKS for your reactions to Dimash!!!!......The vocalize is E6 highest note vocalized and whistle, air flow control 24 seconds Amazing Riff!!!!.......Dimash is in his own class, there’s good singers there’s great singers and then there’s Dimash. ...... greetings from a Mexican Dear ❤️👏🏻🇲🇽🇰🇿
Yup, he‘s in a completely different category for sure!!! So amazing 🤗
Great reaction,i enjoied too much,please reac ogni pietra (olimpico) and know new wave. thank you very much.gretting from Miami Florida
Thank you and thanks for the suggestion! I‘ll look into it and see what I can do 🤗
Beautiful reactions.. loved it!
He inspired so many musicians, that's why I like to watch the reaction video of Dimash ;))
The best part of those is that he showed us the potential of human being and that will drive the people to evolve the music!
He is truly a special man 🤗
Loved your review. I greatly enjoy watching new reviewers get, as they say, Dimashified. I've lost count of how many nights over the past year or so that I've sat up till the wee hours of the morning watching and listening to Dimash, only stopping long enough to pick my jaw up from off the floor. I was a professional singer for 25 years, been in all kinds of talent competitions and have heard a lot of singers. But this guy? THIS GUY??? He's in a whole different league. I dare say the best in the world. We are blessed to have him. Please do more reviews. We'll both enjoy them 😁
Thank you! And I think I would agree with you. I‘ve never heard anyone like him... so perfect 🤗
Ждем новые реакции, супер, 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Love is like a dream please. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷😊
I‘ll take a look 🤗
Hey darling, loved your reaction!! He's out of this world, just unmatched ❤
Maybe to go on, try his performances of love is like a dream, love of tired swans, know, passione, ogni pietra(olimpico), opera 2... He has a bunch of amazing performances, you're gonna love it!! ❤
Thank you for your suggestions! I‘ll look into it and see what I can do 🤗
Every time I listen to him he leaves me breathless, literally and figuratively .Dimash is the best, period
100% agree
Dimash lives the music, Dimash lives the song. Throw in incredible stage presence (once he's on stage....all eyes and ears will focus solely on him......even many of those who attended his sold out concerts said so including a RUclipsr called Dear John who attended Dimash's sold out ARNAU ENVOY CONCERT in New York's Barclays Centre on December 10th, 2019).
Guess ur mind not blown enough when u heard him few years back and only to review the video now xD
Thank you. Please more dimash reactions
Any particular song in mind? =)
@@VoxTapeStudios, i would really like you to do Daybreak. He did a song cover for that song. It’s about this kid that’s parents passed away and she got adopted and the woman who adopted her wrote that song based on the dreams the little girl had with her parents.
Thank you. I have been a Canadian (Dimash) Fan for almost 4 years. I personally believe, Dimash is a Music Virtuoso of our time. He is from Kazakhstan and Dimash will be 27 in May 2021. Dimash has been formally training and performing for over 21 years. At the age of 5 years old it was determined he had perfect pitch. Dimash is often referred to as the Best Singer in the World. Dimash is known for his exceptionally wide vocal range. Many Vocal Coaches and Singers have differing opinions whether Dimash is a Baritone, Tenor or Contralto. It is recorded that he has a range higher than Six (6) Octaves and continues to improve his ranges and techniques. Dimash is a phenomenal Vocal Storyteller.
Dimash calls his style an "Innovation" [Neo-Classicism] in the Classical Crossover Genre. Dimash combines many Styles such as Classical (Opera), Contemporary (Modern, Pop, R&B, Jazz, Rap), Estrada and traditional Kazakh folk music. Dimash is multi-talented, Singer [12 languages], Multi-instrumentalist [7 instruments], Composer and Performer. He also recently co-directed one of his own Music Videos. Dimash [he is 1.91 cm / 6ft 3in tall] has also done Modelling for well known Fashion Labels, Lifestyle and Fashion magazines.
Dimash graduated in 2014 from Music Institute in Classical Music with Major in Vocal Opera (Bel Canto). Dimash continued his education with University studies in Contemporary Music and graduated in 2018 with a Major in Vocal Contemporary Pop & Jazz. In the Summer of 2020, Dimash graduated with a Master of Music Composition. Dimash has been invited for 2020/2021 to continue his doctorate studies in Music at the same University. Dimash speaks Kazakh, Russian and has a working knowledge of English.
It is a phenomenal experience to be in the audience for a live Dimash performance or Concert. I attended his Solo «Arnau-Envoy» Concert at Barclays NYC, USA in December 2019, it was an awesome experience.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏💕💕💕💕💕🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 Great reaction!!! Welcome to the world of Dimash! And to the worldwide community of Dears ( what Dimash calls his fans)! You must be a great vocal coach to immediately notice how Dimash did that entire section in one breath...!!! He is simply the best vocalist that ever lived.
Please do react to more Dimash: Love is Like a Dream; Across Endless Dimensions; Unforgettable Day (make sure it’s the version from the Gakku concert)- incidentally a song he composed at age 17. Adagio; Confessa & Diva Dance. Thank you!
Thank you! I will definitely react to more of his songs :)
The best of world! Welcome a world dimash!!!! Please, reactions , sos, adagio,your love,unforgettable day en gakku,daybreak en bastau, bello,love of tired swans ,ogni pietra, opera 2 ...etc...👍
Thanks for all the suggestions! I‘ll look into it :)
"This man sings!"
Truer words have never been spoken. 😆
He becomes the music. 😌
It’s beautiful to watch.
Astonishing.. what a live performance
I agree!!
He is Dimash the best singer in the world, the best voice in the world, he can sing any type of music any musical rhythm professionally, he never goes out of tune, he sings perfectly according to many singing teachers and music producers that's why Dimash is called THE BEST VOICE IN THE WORLD
I LOVE ITTTTTTT. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH
Awe thank you!! 🤗
👍 хорошая реакция. И симпотичная. 🤗
23 seconds no breath
Insane...
25 seconds🎉🎉
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH and want to HUGZ YOU!!!! Yes life is always like this.There are ALWAYS people out there better than the rest but the way you handle yourselve the pure innocent RAW honest emotions!!! GIVING CREDIT to where its due to dimash but also staying STRONG and FIRM to who you are as a vocal coach.Like my grandma said " he is not the best Singer in the world but the best Vocalist" but this doesnt make the rest of us obsolete. Yes as perfect as DImash can appear he also has weaknessess so just appreciate this one in a lifetime human being.they come and go so RARELY.
awe thank you 😇
Welcome to dimashland again 😊
Thank you 🤗🤗😇
What a wonderful reaction! If you watch Sinfull Passion-a fancam from Moscow concert, you will see up and close the vocal art created before our own eye! And that last 24 second riff up and close! Amazing❤️ Liked and subscribed!
Thank you I appreciate that! I‘ll have to check that video out I haven‘t seen that yet... thanks!
Great reaction and analysis, i love it. And you are mind blown, goosbumps. Dimash always uses a lot of technical vocals in every performance. That's what makes us never get bored of seeing his performance, even with the same song. Continue to react to other Dimash songs, there will be more surprises there😁😍💖
Thank you, I appreciate that! 🤗
@@VoxTapeStudios 🤗😍
Большущее, громадное спасибо!!
Вы умничка! Моё уважение.
I’ve heard Dimash singing this song probably 100 times and every time I am left speechless. Your reaction is great but even greater because of the fact that you commented on the length of the breathing (or the lack of breathing) in the final part of his performance. I’ve seen so many reactions were people do not realize the difficulty of it. Without air there is not sound but Dimash could probably sing under the water. He is definitely from a different planet.
I stumbled on Dimash last year when SOS popped up on my suggested list. I ignored it for a while but finally listened to it and just sat there with my mouth open! I couldn't believe anyone, much less a man, could sing like that. Then I listened to Opera 2 which blew me away as I'd heard Vitas' version, and when Dimash outdid Vitash by modulating up twice more than Vitas did, I couldn't believe it. The next song I heard was this one and I just was awestruck and started down a rabbit hole that I remain on to this day. Even if his style of singing isn't your cup of tea, there's no denying the incredible talent and technique Dimash has. I'm not sure there's anyone out there today who has everything Dimash does from the control, range, stage presence, etc. He's working on his English, and if he gets pretty good with that, I think he'll explode here in the USA if he can come over and do concerts!
Me suscribo esperando más de DIMASH.Saludos cordiales desde COSTA RICA de un DEAR😚😚😚😚😚
The best voice in the World ❤️🔥💎
The only question on my mind is how you went "a couple of years" without hearing any more Dimash. From the first time I heard him I was hooked, and haven't stopped since.
Прекрасное исполнение!!! Прекрасная реакция, очень красивой девушки!!!👍👍👍
Ну вот, опять наши казахские мелизм в ступор вводят преподавателя вокала!!!! Прекрасная реакция 🇰🇿🍀🙏💯
И так хочется рассказать каждому реакционеру о песне,о А-студио,о любимом Батырхане...И о мелизме,его значении.
Спасибо Вам за прекрасное настроение и реакцию на выступление Димаша.
Dimash the Best of the Best singer in the world. Thank you for your beautiful reakcion.
Thank you! And yes, he is!
@@VoxTapeStudios Hi.... Thank you for your beautiful
Thank you... ❤️❤️👌✌️🏆Welcom from Kazakstan.
@@VoxTapeStudios 👌👌✌️✌️🏆❤️❤️🇰🇿
Thanks for your reaction. If you want more Dimash try Love is Like a Dream to round off the ‘Dimash reactions pack’. But there is so much more he can do from folk, opera, pop and lets just be honest and call it a new genre ‘Dimash’.
Hahaha that‘s so funny! Dimash as a genre 😂 thanks for the suggestion!
I’m still captivated by Dimash’s singing after a year.
Thanks for the reaction again, I have a suggesstion that may help you, just from my experience of who have binged a LOT dimash reaction videos for awhile. 😂😂😂 just something I noticed and think the fans will like a lot:
1) don’t pause in the middle of the note, let him finishes it! Lol. I know he has many long note for one breath.
2) pick the right performance and stage ( avoid the World Best show in America, that show did dirty to him and cut and chop his performaces) you can do poll and vote on community tab so that you will react the right best performance, not only him but other singers too.
3) talk more about how easy/ hard of what he does in the song, deep analysis. Any fan of any singer will love to hear that rather than just “ amazing” “ awesome”
4) BE YOURSELF AND authentic with you, whether you like the song or not, just honest! 😊😊
I know one vocal coach who gave many detailed analysis and dive in his music for several months, her channel is quite big now, and before Dimash, she had over 1000 subs.
Wish you the best and enjoy Dimash journey! Thanks!
Thank you so much, I appreciate that 🤗
yes a 23 sec run up and down at the end. So far also a range going frem E1 (Growling) to D8 out of the Piano AMAZING!!!
That‘s just insane...
@@VoxTapeStudios HAHA yes or just amazing skills
I subscribed now please continue your reaction to Dimash. Show Must Go On, Adagio, All By Myself.
Thank you! And I will :)
Dimash and beautiful voice!! Greetings from Chile.

Thank you for sharing your reaction. You are beautiful and I loved watching your reaction. 💖
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed the video =)

More Dimash Reactions please.
1. Autumn Strong
2. SOS
3. Love of tired Swans
4. Your Love

That yodel-like run is called "caprino," meaning "goat-like." It's a bleating that is used sometimes in middle and far eastern music. In most other areas of the world, caprino is considered a breath control failure that results in a distressed vibrato. In Dimash's neck of the woods (Kazakhstan), it's a trained skill that not many people can do. Clearly, Dimash is one of the few.
I have to listen every day. How did you make two years without listening to him again ?
I felt too bad about myself hahah! Glad I’m back to listening to him again though. He‘s magical
22 seconds after the tribal wailing after the opera... Most talented singer on the planet
Hi! I'm from KYRGYZSTAN! Thanks for your reaction! Dimash COOL!
Hiiii 👋👋👋👋 and thanks!
Just when he pulls an Arabic zaghrouta (yodeling/ululation) out of his vocal bag of brilliance, he pulls off an amazing 25 second run without taking a single breath. DIMASH IS AMAZING!!!!
Yeah... just magical!!!
No arabic, it's kazakh melisma.
You listened to S O S a couple of years ago? Nothing of his inbetween? I have to listen to him every day, he’s magical in my opinion.
He is absolutely magical! I had to stop cause I felt too bad about myself. Now I have learned that he‘s just magical so no need to feel bad anymore hahah!
Спасибо вам.
Слов нет,ваши эмоции-лучшая оценка.
Dimash number one forever
React Dimash-Love is Lika a Dream pleasee😁 i love your reaction❤️
Thank you! I‘ll look into it 😇
It was 22 seconds without breathing at the end, right? that's DIMASH! from another world
I wish to see other reacts of him
There are many other songs you will be speechless
He is the best
You did a beatiful reaction congrats
Thank you very much! I will definitely look into more of his stuff and react to it! 🤗
Oh nice reaction girl. I really, really hope you do more Dimash reactions because I promise I will watch it along with 100,000's of Dears (Dimash fans)
So many songs from Dimash and in so many genres. I highly recommend the stuff he did on The Singer 2017 in China, don't know if you are ready for his guest appearance in 2018 and sang Hello yet, that last minute or so is amazing.
Plenty of other stuff and he seems to come up with something every single time that surprises you, hope you decide to check him out more and I hope you share that with us.
Thanks! I‘ll definitely do more reactions to him. He‘s amazing!!
I'm from Russia and I'm glad to see your surprise and admiration about Dimash, and by the way, you're cute and very good at talking about vocals, very good, you're good
Честная, искренняя реакция!СПАСИБО,ЛАЙК!
Is this the greatest vocal run of all time? Genuinely curious -- if you know of anything that tops this, please let me know. I've never heard anything quite like it.
DIMASH number one forever
Thank you for your reaction 👌!! It's truly "Unbelievable" the control he has!!! I was introduced to Dimash 2 years ago and have been listening to him ever since. I have never, ever heard anybody that can sing like him. He is a "Once in a Lifetime Man"!!
I really enjoyed watching your genuine reactions and overall analysis. I've seen a ton of these vocal coach impressions of Dimash, and nearly EVERY one says that he's not from this planet. I love, love, love everything about his singing, his movement, and how he fills a song emotionally. This is my favorite.
