[@CheyenneCoxen]

Will do and oh, my word! I've been so impatiently waiting on your reaction to this one 🙏 thank you!

[@k.vn.k]

Thanks for the links! Good job on this video too. We know you were busy filming so it’s great to see your Dimash reaction video again. This is his first time singing in Japanese and it’s perfect! Ikkanaide means “don’t go” and Dimash expressed it at first longingly to finally desperately pleading. Such an excellent artistry. May I suggest you his latest music video Omir Oter. You will find delight in that piece for its beautiful crafted videography.

[@francorossi4555]

Great Cedric, i like always your reactions, please react new version of stranger of dimash. You will listen something unbelievable, believe me

[@dears9158]

Great reaction!!!! Dimash is called Mr. Pause in China.

[@teresaz-l2963]

Cedric, ich habe eine Frage. Würdest Du Deine Reaktion genau so machen, wen Du gewusst hättest, dass das Lied, die Lippensynchronisation war?

[@strimart]

Мы знаем эту песню как Autumn strong на китайском языке, и знаем кажется, каждую ноту в его интерпретации. И обычно в конце в последние 5 сек Димаш делал красивый вокализ сопрано. И сейчас я ждала его. А он вздохнул и ... промолчал... и как будто спел ее внутри себя. А у меня перехватило дыхание от этой неспетой тишины. Как часто мы молчим нашу боль и не даем ей выйти, он живет в нас как этоа горько-сладкая песня. Спасибо, гений Димаш, за твое откровение!

[@svetlanaakhmetova712]

Как вы точно сказали! Я все время, слушая этот момент, перестаю дышать...

[@biserkapacas172]

Oni koji šute,najviše bi možda imali da kažu,ali ipak šute,ne zato što se plaše svojih riječi,nego zato što znaju da njihovu šutnju razumiju samo oni koji razumiju i njihove riječi.( Rumi),Nadam se da ćete vi mene razumjeti…🇭🇷 Greetings from Tripoli 🇱🇾 Dimasha razumijemo dušom 🎈

[@Jeannine2007]

@Biserka Pacas Beautifully expressed ❤

[@МаринаКручинина-в3ш]

Это совсем не та песня по смыслу и словам, что на китайском языке. Эта на японском называется Не Уходи. Мне это вариант понравился гораздо больше! (Мастерство Димаша явно росло с годами!))

[@fumin8]

''Ikanaide'' written and sung by Koji Tamaki is the original song of ''秋意浓''.

[@savmid9308]

Thanks for another amazing reaction. Here’s some background to the song. “Ikanaide (please don’t go)” Verse 1 Nothing, I can’t see anything I have been crying all this time Not because of sorrow Just grateful to feel your warmth Chorus Ah…. Please don’t go Please don’t go Please don’t ever let us separate Ah…. Please don’t go Please don’t go Stay with me forever Verse 2 Someday…..my heart will …..someday… Be somewhere far away Everything will remain only as a memory Though it’s better not to know It’s better not to know Ikanaide was used as the title song for a Chinese-Japanese TV series "Farewell, Lixianglan" about a Japanese woman Yoshiko Yamaguchi (12 Feb 1920 - 7 Sept 2014) who was born in China and accused of being spy. She was put on trial but was eventually set free and went to Japan, where she lived a long and peaceful life. In 1993, Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung adapted it into Mandarin with the meaning of the song different from that of the original. He called it Late Autumn / Autumn Strong. Dimash sang the Mandarin version (Autumn Strong) when he participated in the 2017 The Singer competition in China. He sang it in Episode 4 of the competition and it was his first time singing in Mandarin. Regarding Dimash’s Japanese performance, a Japanese reactor said that Dimash’s pronunciation was perfect. It was as good as a native speaker’s. It shows how much of a perfectionist Dimash is and how many hours he must have spent on his pronunciation and delivery. In addition, Goro Matsui, who wrote the lyrics to “Ikanaide” praised Dimash’s performance and said: “I’ve heard ‘Ikanaide’ sung by foreign singers in their native language many times. Even though they all sing great, none of them seemed to quite capture the sound/reverberation and meaning of the original lyrics and perceive the emotions between the lines. In this song, the phrase ~ Ah, ikanaide~ is repeated several times in the chorus. Although they are the same exact words, each line has a different meaning. “But this is the first time anyone has sung it so beautifully in Japanese. I happened to find Dimash singing “Ikanaide” by chance. The first thing that surprised me was his crystal clear tone and his expressive voice that conveys the lyrics of the song.”

[@ВераСавельева-м7й]

When the great Niccolo Paganini was asked what the secret of his skill was, he replied: "You need to feel very strongly yourself to make others feel." I think Dimash has figured out this secret and mastered it perfectly. It's his secret now. Thank you for your professional and emotional reaction.

[@skirk9184]

You don't figure something like that out....it just is. Dimash as a person has depth of feeling and awareness innately. Music is feeling with sound. But the difference is that he has no fear to show it. He does not hold back the connection between himself and the listener. He gives 100% ....but with exquisite creative control. We all know the secret....just having the gift of freedom and comfort with one's soul to express it skillfully is rare.

[@gabrielaroblesbarrera5449]

Hola Cedric! Me gustan mucho tus análisis porque ves más allá de lo que nosotros vemos, el fondo, las luces, el micrófono, los colores, el vestuario, además de la actuación de Dimash, se nota que eres un experto en todo esto, te felicito, y ojalá Dimash se comunique contigo para trabajar juntos, sería fantástico! Saludos desde México! ❤️🇲🇽🌹❤️🇲🇽🌹❤️🇲🇽🌹

[@mirtapg3023]

Dimash oltre ad essere il miglior cantante del mondo...... é anche un attore nato.......non so come mai non sia diventato una stella americana per via delle sue doti indubbie.....ma forse.... é meglio così.....una star lo é già nel cuore di chi l'ha scoperto per caso....in uno dei suoi video...che sono tutti opere d'arte.....gli auguro una vita lunga e piena di successi come merita!!!!

[@pilar1366]

Es realmente impresionante lo que hace Dimash. Dicen que se rodó todo en una sola toma. Está en el estudio de su casa, si ves el año anterior cantó Salmantau, para el Tokio Jazz Festival, también desde el mismo sitio. La voz, la interpretación, la historia real que nos cuenta, triste... Impresionante! Ojalá puedas trabajar algún día con Dimash, pero él es casi autosuficiente... Un saludo Cedric.

[@jemslovescoffee9570]

I watched this performance earlier today, not realizing I've heard him sing this song before, but of course, it's always a little different with Dimash and always stunning. I watched your reaction after a very very long day and it was a great way to semi-zone out and listen to Dimash and your reaction. I got so involved that I consumed almost an entire third of a party-sized bag of potato chips so that happened but I ate healthy all day, including 2 hot mugs of ginger orange lemon tea with natural Maine honey from a guy my grammie knows, so I feel justified in my weak moment of gluttony. Anyway, enough about chips and back to Dimash. I will never get over how amazing he is. Dimash truly is the best singer in the entire world. I've watched so many of his music videos and live performances, and I've watched them all many MANY times, but I still get blown away every single time. I tried earlier to listen to Dimash while working on a miserable essay. That didn't work. I just sat there in awe while ignorng the task at hand. So I had to listen to rain falling or something dull to serve as bgm so I could ACTUALLY get stuff done. Back once more to Dimash, I can't wait for the next reaction. I know you're crazy busy and trying to space out reactions to all the people you regularly check out, as well as new groups (btw, you should check out Ateez's mv The Real), but at some point you should react to Dimash's perfromances on the Chinese show Singer from 2017. Also, just for fun I would love love love for you to react to this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZvGZoqKiq5ml68 that has a compilation of insane Dimash vocal moments from all different performances and things. It is the coolest video and will leave you SHOOK beyong normal Dimash shookethness.

[@fionavarian9151]

I absolutely love the ending of this. I love that cry from the heart, and when it's stops suddenly, your heart carries on over the cliff, like a real impact on the heart, then the soft humming, and almost missed note replaced by prayered hands. Poignant, elegant, feelingful, touching. A masterpiece. Lovely reaction

[@anahills3836]

I always think that throughout the song he is begging and begging for her to stay but in the end he resigns himself to her leaving and bows his sad goodbye.

[@mirellaanaflores]

Me encantan tus reacciones a Dimash. Nos ayudas a entender esos detalles que hacen de sus presentaciones verdaderas obras de arte.Un talento artístico a otro nivel, tan refinado,tan bien trabajado en todos los aspectos, vocales y visuales. Tus comentarios me ayudan a dimensionar de mejor manera lo extraordinario que es Dimash . También te deso éxito en tus proyectos.

[@jamesk8s1]

Dimash said in his Instagram interview ( i think it was that one ) that Ikanaide is his favorite song of all of his songs! I so appreciate your analysis and again, as a result, I get to appreciate Dimash ever more deeply, thank you as always!!! ;) Each time I hear this song, it chokes me up at the end.....every frickin' time!!

[@monikadear3594]

Great reaction and analysis, Cedric! I always enjoy your vids to Dimash, how you appreciate all the little details in his singing and performances, how you love all the qualities about Dimash!❤️ Dimash would love to act in a movie as we know, but up to now he didn't get offers he really liked, so he refused ... So maybe he is just waiting for a fitting idea from YOU! Millions of Dears would thank and love you for bringing a Dimash-movie to life!! For me Dimash could be in a historical movie, existential topics, dramatic story - to be honest I see him more in Asian surroundings... To introduce him to the western world maybe he could play a stranger in America in older times, so he can show all his abilities in riding, fighting, searching for a good life, being cool... And being a stranger his heavy accent in English would be excusable.😉 I would love to hear YOUR ideas for a movie with Dimash! Although he has got a great sense of humor, I can't really imagine him in a comedy (to conquer the world). But who knows... But my fantasy is greatly stimulated by Dimash as well although I haven't got a clue about movies... l take everything with him, just send Dimash a cool screenplay, he would be delighted! 😁 And me too! ❤️ Thank you, Cedric, hope to see you soon!

[@jaydeeess8996]

This is one (of many) Dimash performances in which I automatically tear up within seconds of hearing his voice. I'm an old fa*t and I have never (ever) responded to a vocalist like I do Dimash. I swear it comes from a soul level. Dimash is a gift to us all! Thank you, Cedric. It is always such a pleasure to listen to your analyses of Dimash, knowing that you truly "get him". Also, I am not as a visual person as you. So, your analyses allow me to recognize things I had not noticed, which increases my experience even more. Thank you, again, Cedric. Please keep doing what you do!

[@lindahake1666]

Great comment, JayDee! 💞 When I first heard this melody as Autumn Strong, I was a goner. Darned if this one didn't do exactly the same! Di's voice just enters my soul.

[@dalb.790]

This song does the same as far as emotions you described, for me. I have heard it many times but know I will be a "wreck" after hearing DIMASH's voice in this song.

[@ragefilledvergin]

yes sir, Dimash is the one vocalist with so much emotion and power to make a grown man misty eyed over and over

очень много хотела вам Седрик написать, но прочитав все комментарии - поняла, что уже все сказано! Я присоединяюсь к ниже сказанному и хочу поблагодарить вас за любовь к творчеству Димаша, которую вы просто излучаете вами прекрасными глазами и за оригинальные комментарии! Я надеюсь, что вам удастся снять фильм с Димашем, чтобы увековечить его , Богом данные , таланты певца, композитора и артиста! Успехов вам в вашем творчестве! Привет из Украины!

[@jimwallace3441]

Love your analysis. I am in awe of Dimash. Right now this song is among my top three. Please Don’t Go is the title. This is the first song Dimash has sung in Japanese. So that adds another language he is able to sing in. Why isn’t he known in the US? He’s the best singer I’ve ever heard.

[@kristinaquint9338]

Hi Jim. This is just my opinion. If Dimash conquer America, all current singers will have to be retrain to sing. Dimash singing will be the standard.

[@Djokonda12345]

Я думаю все режиссеры и композиторы мирового уровня должны в очередь встать к нему, потому что нет невозможного чтобы он не смог исполнить, он быстро учиться всему новому и главное все делает от души и искренне, вживается и перевоплощается в роль моментально. Богом посланный уникальный певец и человек !

[@patriciapalmer1377]

The sustained fragility of his notes, gently modulatiing, slowly rising...there is non other.

[@DanielSanchez-mo2cw]

Yeah you're right but when it comes to tenor opera notes, he doesn't have a big , rich and round voice like Pavarotti for example

[@paivyt.]

@@DanielSanchez-mo2cw Dimash is quite young, his voice is still maturing. However, Dimash has a very voluminous and rich timbre - check his duet 'Thousand Miles a Common Dream' where he sings with another tenor, a pupil of Placido Domingo (41). There's a huge difference in their roundness & richness. Dimash is much younger (27), but his voice is just magnificent. Of course, both are excellent in their own way.

[@pauletteconell1018]

Dimash is singing this song in Japanese. This is the music from Autumn Strong. He once again blows my mind. ♥️💕

[@lindahake1666]

@ Daniel Sanchez....did Pavarotti have a big, rich and round voice when he was 27? Uh.....no.

[@bermetsadrieva3015]

Спасибо большое за анализ, Вы показываете то, что не видим и не замечаем мы. И после Вашего анализа выступление Димаша /клип или номер становится ярче! Спасибо большое за Ваш труд!

[@rodrigorra3153]

Excellent Cedrix as always and we are pleased that you are working and busy in your profession. I can tell you that this Japanese Jazz festival requires that the songs be recorded (due to the pandemic, it is not being done live) in one take, so there are two Japanese cameramen in the studio with Dimás. He is singing for the first time a song in Japanese. Ikanaide which means "Don't go", written in 1989 by Mr. Goro Masui and original music and interpretation by Koji Tamaki. Later, the Chinese version in Mandarin "Autumn Strong" was released, sung in 2017 by Dimash in The Singer program in 2017, but with some differences in the lyrics of the song (by the way, I also sang for the first time in Mandarin with this version and won multiple awards that year). This new interpretation in Japanese caused such a stir in Japan that the composer himself Mr. Masui declared on social networks that this song is very difficult to sing but that Dimash exactly expressed all the feeling of the song and that it has been the best interpretation of an artist. foreigner and that he had also done it with a perfect accent that seemed sung by a native Japanese. Dimash is a genius and we hope that one day he will come to Broadway and that you can work with him on stage and in movies, it would be a total success. Greetings from Panama.

[@laylasofia3146]

I simply Love, Love, Love everything about Dimash....everything! So it is very hard for me to say THIS is my favorite, but...it is!! Not only is it a beautiful song (even though it is in Japanese) but just listen to how clear every word is, the emotion he delivers, and in my opinion...Dimash looks stunningly handsome here, as always. Just Love this and have watched it countless times!!

Your insightfulness is astounding, and apart from providing entertainment and information, you actually manage to make me appreciate Dimash EVEN more, so, basically, you are truly enhancing my life, haha. Thank you! Have a wonderful day! :)

[@robertcalhoon8018]

Hi. Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction/analysis as usual. This is the Japanese version of Autumn Strong. Spectacular performance by Dimash, as Japanese is a difficult language. I have watched several reactions to this song, and have yet to hear anyone mention how significant, to me at least, it is that he closes by bringing his hands together, touching his face and slightly bowing, giving the sign of respect distinctive to the Japanese people. I am always amazed at the humility of this magnificent man! Keep up the good work. See you next time.

[@JensRandolff]

This was another very enjoyable reaction and thought-provoking and interesting analysis. This is quickly becoming one if not the favorite Dimash performance for me and it invokes a very visceral response in me, just as "Ave Maria" did. Dimash sang “Ikanaide” for the Tokyo Jazz Festival in January of 2021 from what looks like his studio at home. According to several native Japanese speakers, Dimash’s pronunciation of the lyrics is nearly flawless. One native speaker, who gave a detailed analysis, stated that he is “expressing Japanese more (better) than Japanese” and that he does not only perfectly pronounce Japanese but “expresses Japanese…with Japanese emotion.”. Goro Matsui who wrote the lyrics to “Ikanaide” posted on his Twitter account that he has never heard a foreigner sing in Japanese in such a beautiful way. Tamaki Kōji composed the music and performed the song in 1989. "Ikanaide" became the title song for the Chinese-Japanese TV series “Farewell, Li Xianglan'', filmed that year. It is the story of Yoshiko Yamaguchi, a beloved Chinese-born Japanese actress, and singer during World War II, who hid her Japanese heritage under the name Li XIanglan. Following the war, when the Chinese became aware of her Japanese heritage, she was accused of being a spy and sentenced to death by firing squad for treason and collaboration with the Japanese; she had been involved in the production of Japanese propaganda films. Thanks to the intervention of influential friends she was cleared of all charges but urged to leave China or risk being lynched. She resettled in Japan where she would continue to enjoy a successful acting career. In the 1950s, she moved her acting career to Hollywood and Broadway under the name Shirley Yamaguchi but returned to Japan in 1959, retiring from acting. She would go on to become a TV presenter and eventually a politician. She did not return to China for nearly 20 years. In 1990, “Ikanaide” was translated into Cantonese and sung by Jacky Cheung using the same melody. Later, the song was rewritten and translated for Jacky Cheung to Mandarin under the title “Late Autumn”. In 2004 the Taiwanese singer Terry Lin adapted the song into a new version titled "In Deep Autumn", with lyrics written by Daryl Yao. Dimash chose the 2004 Taiwanese version arranged by Terry Lin with Mandarin lyrics for his performance at the 2017 “I Am A Singer” competition but gave it his own interpretation and titled it "Autumn Strong". This song went on to earn Dimash the "Best Foreign Singer" award during the Golden Melody Award in Hong Kong. Here are the original lyrics to “Ikanaide”: Ikanaide (ee-kanaa-eedayy) Please Don't Go Away by Koji Tamaki Nothing visible, nothing I have been crying throughout Not because I feel sorrowful But because of the delight of feeling your warmth Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Please don't ever ever let us separate Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Let's remain this way Someday your heart will be somewhere afar That everything will turn into memory Though it's better not to know Though it's better not to know Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Whenever it is, don't let us separate Ah… Please don't go away, please don't go away Let's remain this way

Dimash is other-worldly...how can you accurately describe what his voice does to you. He is impressive as an amazingly skilled artist in this performance. The nuances he puts into his vocals shows his deep understanding and maturity in expressing the beauty and sadness of this song. Thanks Cedric, I really like how you broke down what Dimash was doing vocally and physically, the camerawork and the lighting...it gave me different perspectives regarding his performance.💞

[@marisagettas]

This helped me with Japanese pronunciations-every vowel is pronounced 💜 Edited to add: Each IKANAIDE is supposed to be sung with a different emotion. The lyricist said that Dimash was the first non-native Japanese singer who understood that and did it to perfection. This song is a Masterpiece. A Canadian Dear 🦌🇨🇦💜🇰🇿

У Вас такие красивые, ясные и искренние глаза!)). И Вы единственный, кто обращает наше внимание на образ, одежду. Многие даже не замечают таких важных мелочей, из которых складывается любой артист. Спасибо.

[@kriknut1]

I've only seen 7 minutes of your reaction, but I already love it. And I love your reflections. I hope you will have the opportunity to make a movie for/with Dimash. Preferably a musical ❤️

[@sandratapia6164]

Me.encanta tu reacción Cedric por qué explica perfectamente todo el trabajo que implica realizar tan hermoso tema bueno DIMASH ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ya solamente es un tremendo artista intérprete .con mucho respeto un actor también al entregar de la forma que entrega sus temas hay un trabajo gigante detrás de este don que el tiene y que explota de la forma más profesional que existe el equipo de producción que el tiene sabe cómo sacarle mucho más provecho y logran que su voz .interpretación e imagen nos trasladen el alma eso es mucho trabajo y esfuerzo gracias por tus comentarios me encantan saludos cordiales desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

[@gitanacarla4125]

I LUV DIMASH...BUT I CAN TRULY SAY YOU ARE HIS BEST REACTOR...LUV YOU TOO CEDRIC

[@azekel7687]

Finally a Reactor who notices when Dimash drew distance between himself and the mic, and then closed the distance after he finished his classical part, you have really good observation compared to most other reactors, but then again other reactors are not filmmakers, so they don't have an eye for these things.

[@marantonio9103]

It is worth watching a professional reaction from a professional reactor. Thank you Cedric for this very informative reaction. See you again on your next reaction... TO DIMIASH.

[@lianasokara3963]

Cedric another beautiful reaction. You really NEED TO REACT to OMIR OTER MV... Dimash is really showing that he only does what the song needs. Nothing more, nothing less... A hint... The whole idea of the MV is based on his wish.. When he gets older and doesn't perform anymore, he will be able to sit in the audience amongst his fans and be able to look them in the eyes, proud of his accomplishments and his soul. Truly an amazing experience... Love from Greece ❤️❤️🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

[@cristinasteliac2074]

Thank you for your support ,Dimash deserve it,I hope Dimash seeing your reaction and contact you sun as possible.greetings from Italy .🙏🏻😘

Cedric , siempre espero tus reacciones de Dimash , ya que es muy gratificante tenerte y escuchar tus comentarios , Dimash es maravilloso .cariños desde Chile 🥰

[@aliciazunigalopez4680]

Maravillosa reacción gracias, se aprende mucho con tús explicaciones.

[@ΠΗΓΗ-ΕΛΕΝΗΒΛΟΓΙΑΝΝΙΤΗ]

1. I wouldn't be surprised if Dimash collaborated with someone like you, aka a talented person not involved in great studios or companies and such. He is THE greatest talent but so is his whole team. I'd watch for sure and who knows, he or someone in DimashAli, may hear you❗ 2. As always, I sincerely loved your detailed analysis. Your take of things, always adds another perspective to an already amazing performance! Thank you❗ 3. Don't laugh at me but Athens was in a "non-covid related lockdown" for about 5 days last week cause we were "buried" in snow❄❄❄ A little over 1ft (in scientific measurement 40cm😁❗) in a city that had never seen so much snow since the 1930s😱😳😁 and rarely does anyway❗👋🇬🇷

[@Yapaulare]

He is the best singer in the world, in my opinion. Ikanaide is one of my fav Dimash songsThamk you for reacting 🥰🥰🇧🇷

[@teresaayon4558]

Incredible reaction. You are fabulous. Take. Dimash is amazing. Thanks. Love 💖 from México.

[@7novalee]

Kinda hope Dimash stays out movies. He is a mystery I never want to end.

[@MG-uo8kj]

I have been waiting for you to do this reaction. I find all that you say about the production and filming as well as dimash wonderful voice fascinating. Thank you for your informative reaction. Looking forward to the next one. Take care from North Wales UK

[@lorrainekeenan4440]

I have said this before but you are almost as mind blowing as Dimash. Your insight and understanding of what Dimash is trying to convey is just as genius as Dimash’s ability to create this exquisite performance. Not a single other reactor even attempts to analyze like you. “Boosted reviews” who also used a photography’s perspective was similar but doesn’t do reactions anymore which devasted me but now I have you. I learn so much incredible stuff from you it is amazing. Even though Dimash has the best vocals in the world, it is all the extra things he does that we are not even aware of that just takes him to a whole new level of vocal genius that we can not even comprehend. I am extremely grateful for you making it possible for me to understand these things so I can appreciate him in way that I would never have without you. Ikanaide means please don’t go. I have watched reactions from Japanese guys who say is Japanese is flawless as well. My only complaint is you just do not do enough Dimash. I hang out for your reactions and it’s so hard waiting. I would rather listen to you than anyone else just talking about his voice. Most of them say similar basic stuff. Please please do more. I would be a patreon of the highest level but no way could I justify it to my husband who can’t appreciate Dimash, won’t give him a chance past one song, because he is to conditioned to commercial mainstream music. Thank you. You are awesome 💕💕💐💐

[@nantampa4922]

I learned so much about the camera and production aspect. Thank you. I think this was a one take song with multiple cameras. I really enjoy your analysis. Thank you for promoting Dimash. The Vocal King 👑

[@leokafer1972]

Very good and fruitful observations, my friend. Congratulations! I've been watching your reactions to Dimash for some time and I realize you're a good person. I admire you for that. I wish you success, health and prosperity. Hug from Leo - Brazil.

[@НаташаХмара-о8ш]

Great reaction! I love you and your creative mind! ❤️🌹

[@sheker9351]

Прекрасно!!! Напишите обязательно что нибудь Димашу !!!! Ждём очень!

[@Jeannine2007]

I'm so happy to hear you think this may have been done in one take; it is my feeling also. The camera work is of a very high quality, as is everything about it, not the least Dimash's performance. I've seen other reactors to this video who think it couldn't possibly be done in a single take; however, they don't have your eye and level of expertise 👍

[@tallard666]

Oh no!!! I've just binged all your Dimash in one huge go! It was wonderful! I love your insights. I look forward to so much more. A concept that hasn't been done is a "concert react/analysis". A lovely singer, Emi Pellegrino, (has a yt channel like yours where she analyses singers) went to his New York concert, and though she'd already been Dimashified, she got insane-Dimashified! Her and her mom went together, and they filmed bits of it. Super cool. So yes, I think you could do Concert reacts (he's in Dubai March 25th), but there are also a few documentaries that could be worth reacting to, from his channel. Did you see that comedy version of Opera 2? Absolutely the funniest thing, and Dimash's personality really shines through: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYPbgHyhr698n9k

SUBLIME!! Es la palabra para éste trabajo de Dimash!! ❤️🇪🇸💖💐🙏👏 Gracias por tu reacción!!🙏🙏

[@2010lunis]

iHello So long . I really liked your analysis , from an actor 's point of view . There were two cameras filming Dimash, and it was in one take. Dimash is perfection and emotion at the same time. I wish Dimash would listen to you, as we wish to see him in a movie.

[@JayCamp4]

Once again, you've helped me see this performance is a new light, the meaning behind details I've noticed, and a few details I hadn't yet fully given my attention to. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me appreciate Dimash even more because of your analysis. This is one of my performances of his (it's impossible to have only one favorite from Dimash!), but I will watch it with new appreciation.

[@shamyrkvin6431]

This song is so Beautiful Dimash is Beyond!!! I loved it. Great reaction. I really liked it. Thanks

[@katybebop]

My soul literally melts into my flesh and evaporates out to float into the spiritual universe around us…..when he sings it is not music it is a transport. Thanks for your wonderful analysis. I have been a Dear now for years, but I never take for granted the gift he is to this world. Thanks Cedric, you are very talented and insightful as well!!!

[@poppychen3270]

Another fabulous reaction Cedric, I’ve waited a long time for a reaction to Dimash, always a pleasure you never disappoint when reacting to Dimash… I’m not sure if you knew he was singing in Japanese. I to would love to see both of you in a film together…make it happen Cedric. From the UK

"Ikanaide" (please don't go) Lyrics by Goro Matsui Music by Koji Tamami anything I can't see anything I have been crying all the time But it's not because of sadness It's because of the happiness comes from the warmth when you touch me ah don't go, please don't go away ah please never let us be separated ah don't go, please don't go away, just stay by my side always Someday someday you're heart will be somewhere far away and everything will turn into a memory though I'm better now though I'm better now ah don't go, please don't go away at anytime, please don't ever let go ah don't go, please don't go away please never let us be separated ah don't go, please don't go away, just stay by my side always (Goro Matsui lyricist praised Dimash for this performance saying "I've heard "Ikanaide" sung by foreign singers in my motherland tongue many times, but it is the first time for someone to sing it so beautifully in Japanese")

[@mabelgraospolanco2947]

Excelente Cedrix, aunque él dijo que respeta el trabajo de los actores y que considera una especialidad y que él no se ha preparado para, eso;aunque como tú yo pienso que no necesita hacer la, especialidad pero él es muy respetuoso de ello, y que máximo haría un musical o lo que viene haciendo hasta ahora. Bien Cedrix, hay que convencerlo hacer una película seria fantástico.
