Thank you all for watching!

[@lorrainekeenan4440]

You are such a delight. This the absolute best reaction to this song. And I have watched every reaction of this that I can find. Your reaction is as delightful and enjoyable as Dimash’s performance

[@MyTwoCents77]

I really enjoy your authentic reactions, so fresh and accurate! Please know: there is a lot more to Dimash, thank God for Dimash...keep on reacting to him 👏👏

[@timhuffmaster3588]

What I love most, other than everything about this performance, is when he crosses his arms across the front of his chest and abdomen. That would never appear on any vocal instruction book unless it had a 🚫 over it. Another great reaction Mr. C.

[@BeckyNicholas]

Yes, the is a "flex your skills" because he's in a hard singing competition!! That's what people don't understand often......yes he's showing off, but he's competing so he's suppose to be showing off!! I LOVE, LOVE his cheekiness in this performance!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mauriceallen8496]

Awesome awesome reaction and analysis. You are one great reaction type person. Thank you so very much for the analysis and reaction. You build Dimash up so fantastically.

[@CedricGegel1]

Wow, thank you!

[@josephineato3454]

Dimash is a human siren lol! Just love it a thousand times keep safe thank you! Love from japan

[@lucasgraham4762]

Dimash lets you have it right between the eyes!

"...he is so irresistibly charming"", nice tag-line for Dimash Thank you for sharing. Hi, I am your follower, a Juris Doctor from the Philippines....

[@mashamasha8820]

It´s such a fun performance, Dimash enjoyed himself, teased the audience, so cute. Another great reaction video!!!

[@divinaalbay9595]

I so love your reaction. Your smile and expression is so contiguous. Keep it coming.

Loved, loved, loved your reaction!!!

[@vivianquesada5910]

Cedric, you should watch the end of the video. It’s one of the reasons I love Dimash!,

[@lauriandawkins7264]

Hahaha--as always, I absolutely adore your reaction, Cedric; as a writer and filmmaker, your reactions are filled with so much more depth than practically any other reactor out there. All I can say is (to paraphrase a certain street urchin) "More, sir--may we please have more???" This is one of my favorite performances by him because it gives him a chance to demonstrate his showmanship and TOTAL ability to engage an audience. He "plays" us--in such a good way--inviting us to his party......and we GLADLY "play" right along!! I'm STILL laughing each time I think back on how in a later interview, he sheepishly admitted he wouldn't have been so "flirty/cheeky" with the audience had he known his dad was out in the audience. I mean, even--E V E N--without that voice being touched by God, ya just gotta love this guy!!! LOL

[@gerfegraison7636]

New subs here. I have fun watching you and I’m enjoying your reactions and comments. I’ve been following Dimash since 2017. Dimash is an amazing artist. I love him so much. Thank you very much, take care and see you soon.

[@LoveDimashali]

I LOVE, love, LOVE your reactions to our Dimash! Love that you notice EVERYTHING...the emotions, the lighting, the body movements...I notice even the choice of what he wears!!Loved that you reacted to this song but on your off time, watch the extended version. It shows his dad, who did the fist pump, surprise him by showing up and the surprise on Dimash's face and the really emotional moment at the end. FYI...Dimash is SUPER humble and he has a vulnerable spot regarding his singing, I think, with his dad. He asks his him"Did I sing well?"...and he makes a comment to someone that if he had known his dad was in the audience, he wouldn't have been so cheeky! lol! OH!! and try to watch the videos allll the way until the end because you will see what a big heart he has towards his "dears" and to the band members because he takes the time to appreciate them and thanks them for their performance! Can't wait to see more of your reactions!

[@qing5432]

❤️Love your reaction to Dimash! 😊

[@EmilyGrace20]

You’re in my top 2 favorite Dimash reactors. I appreciate the keen observation. Please do more! There’s so many amazing ones you haven’t done yet! I think you might be ready for Unforgettable Day at Gakku now. 😏

[@williammanning1028]

At the same venue he later sang a song called "Autumn Strong". A beautiful, emotional song about a sad relationship between a Chinese composer and his Japanese girlfriend who was later deported back to Japan when her true nationality was revealed towards the end of WW II. Dimash learned to sing the song in Mandarin for the Chinese audience. I believe he learned it in a weeks time. Native Mandarin speakers say his pronunciation is flawless. The audience were honored that he made the effort and brought to tears by his rendition of a song and story they knew all too well.

[@NewBeginningsThePunchNews]

"Autumn Strong"is such a good song. Every emotion gets poured into that song during the "I Am Singer" performance.

[@duncanv5537]

Love your reaction 👈🏾😍👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎤🙏🏽

So enjoyed your fabulous reaction!

[@erik1836]

This is one my favorites of your reviews of Dimash. You are right. It is impossible not to be charmed by him.

[@s.vidhyardhsingh3881]

You are one of the awesome KZbin reaction videos’ Guy I’ve ever seen!!!! Your words and explanations make sense. Everyone feels the same about this video but no one can explain that, but you did. You put everyone’s thoughts into words..........great!!!!!! 😁😁😁

[@stellafan3897]

Hi Cedric, your reaction was as much fun as Dimash´s performance...thank you!

[@CedricGegel1]

Glad you enjoyed it Thank you!

[@CorinaCorina-xc7yo]

Hi Dear Cedric !!! I LOVE your reactions !!! Thanks. I"m agree with you. DIMASH is great, amazing, Unbelievable. Greetings from Argentina 💜🇦🇷🎼🎼🎼

[@debbienockels7255]

I love this cheeky, playful performance! If you want to add to the emotional aspect, check out the extended clip which shows the moment Dimash realizes his father is there. He literally does a double-take during his thank-yous, and the smile that spreads over his face and then his reunion with his dad never fail to touch me. It’s worth watching, trust me! Thank you so much for this review. Greetings from a Florida Dear.

[@cynthiabruce-marzenska5024]

If you watch this performance on Gloria Wu’s channel, there are English subtitles and you can get the backstory including that the gentleman who fist pumps at the end is Dimash’s dad. He flew into China from Kazakhstan to surprise Dimash after this performance. Heart warming reunion and very humble Dimash asking his dad if he did well. Very sweet and worth seeing.

[@erik1836]

It always makes makes me laugh when he asks his father, "Did I sing well?" lol

[@jordancascia3664]

Eccellente reaction SUPER DIMASH 💯💯💯 GRAZIE 🇮🇹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌍🌎🌏

I forgot how awesome you’re explantations are. I am so enjoying doing it all over again. I had forgotten so many e cellent things you bring out. Such fun

[@michaelelliott8536]

There is a fun video of Dimash on a Chinese show where they present new comic words to sing to the tune of opera two. It says things like if a girl in high heels steps on your toe, how would you reacts. Of course you’d scream 🎹Ahahaaaaaaaaah! Dimash is a good sport and he is helpless with laughter,

[@francoistredoux2489]

Thanks for another delightful Dimash reaction, Cedric! I love your enthusiasm, your knowledge of all facets of performance, and also your self-deprecating subtitles! Love it! Greetings from Cape Town in South Africa.

[@CitizenComments]

That was just his second performance after SOS at the competition that first made him famous. So it was showing off -- strategically, before moving on to The Show Must Go On, Adagio, Hello, etc.

[@lindahake1666]

@Virtual....Hello was sung as a guest performer for the 2018 Singer season.

[@carolegoodwin8248]

Great reaction as always. Loved it when you were talking about Dimash going higher and higher and then it was like you gave up and said "it's not possible " so true but anything seems possible musically to Dimash. Thanks for your reaction brilliant 👏

[@Zara-tt7rh]

I really enjoy your reactions! Really great insight into music, acting, stage production, and just comes off really honest. 💯

[@Tricia_K]

Thanks so much, Dear Cedric! This whole performance is so fun and playful, with Dimash getting his flirt on, his fellow contestants losing their minds backstage, and the audience loving every single second of it! And that cheeky little smile of his, is just everything...🤗

[@heidia.2566]

Asombroso.

[@sandrak.robbins6305]

'Charming' is exactly the right word! His performance is so enjoyable to see. Also, his Dad was in the audience and he did not know it until the end and Dimash spotted him. His Dad came from Kazakhstan for him!

Dimash the voice that shakes The universe🎶🌍❤❤❤

[@garythielen5314]

Yes!

[@americasalgado6249]

This was the second song I heard from Dimash and I loved it, I was fascinated🤩 He really is a high level singer and he has deserved the support and adoration of all his fans (dears) . I love him so much and admire so much power and study in music❤❤ Thanks u so much for your reaction, good job 👏💕

Thank you for your honest reaction. Always learn something 👍💯❤

[@leylaaleman457]

Great reaction, Cedric. Dimash won in Im a singer, episodes 1 with SOS, episode 2 with Opera 2 and episode 6 with Adagio, extraordinary performances. The rest of the presentations were also magnificent. Really the production of Im a singer was of the highest level, the lights, the musicians, the supporting voices, the costumes. As for the musical arrangements of Dimash's performances, it was Dimash himself who decided and arranged the arrangements together with his friend and arranger Erlan. Grettings from Nicaragua 🇳🇮

[@shah3545]

Another great performance by Dimash and I love your reactions.

[@mimajovanovic5897]

I really enjoy your comments, I adore Dimash. 🥰

[@47foxy]

Hi Cedric, Brilliant reaction to this fun performance from Dimash. SOS was Ep1, this was Ep2, when Dimash left for this comp in China he just travelled with a mate from Kazakhstan, his dad couldn't go because of his own commitments but said he would get there as soon as he could, that was his dad doing the fist pump at the end and dimash didnt know he'd arrived, the producers had kept him hidden away during the day. There is a slightly longer version of this, whereby when Dimash is just thanking the musicians his dad is pushed forward and Dimash sees him he just jumps off the stage to hug him and picks him up and spins him round, then it shows them walking back to the green room. Dimash said afterwards if he'd known his dad was there he would'nt have been so cheeky and flirty !! 👍👍👌👌😊😊

[@kriknut1]

I'm glad he didn't knew that his dad was there. This performance is.... 😍😃🤩😂 ❤️❤️❤️

[@berndrose1348]

Dear Cedric, bravo for Reaction. Please listen from Dimasch in Singer 2017 the Songs ADAGIO, ALL BE MYSELF and THE SHO MUST GO ON. Absolutely Worldclass. Plase listen them.

Arizona Dear Here IN the past vid i left a comment so here it is again Dimash is moving tp AMERIICA to study and promote his music think LA if you met him lets us know much love from ARIZONA ,Gloria Wu channel has English subs and back ground stories well with watching Opera 2 you would just seen how HUMMBLE he is he did not know his Father was there just so touching .

Great reaction!!! Dimash doesn't just sing he lives every song... he can be playful, epic, serious, emotional and everything else he wants... he's incredible perfomer beside his megical voice. This is a competition, so it's really fun to see him showing off with this confidence Edit: Please react to Dimash singing "Know" from New Wave and then Vocslise from Kiev concert

[@Snarky_Tart]

Somewhere in a parallel universe Dimash is still modulating the key change.

[@davidbangtson3109]

I've heard this song hundreds of times and never get tired of it. And your review was better than almost all of them I've heard. Everything you said added to my understanding of this performance. There is no doubt that his charm and his stage presence just adds to the whole effect.

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

Of course he is showing of, this is a competition. I love the lyrics to this song. The high notes refer to the howling wind mentioned in the lyrics. Funny and melancholy at the same time. - Love it.

Hey Cedric Dimash always plays the part right to the end.. He is Very Passionate about his craft and putting on the best show for his Fans (Dears). Dimash = Vocal Genius

[@jeanscott822]

I really love you and Dimash! I know nothing about the technicality of singing or acting. I only know what sounds good to me. You have helped me understand what Dimash is achieving with his styles, etc. I think he is the best singer in the world and you help me to see/hear this. Autumn strong is beautiful song and I think you would love it. Your movies look great too.

[@aliciaestrada8827]

I love your reactions to Dimash,!!!!

[@gdouglas999]

Your smiles when watching Dimash always say it all. Those of us who have done all the work getting Dimash to #1 on the MTV youtube channel Friday Livestream could use the help of other Dears in order to keep him there. We came within 30 minutes of losing him his rightful place at the top last week but just enough of us came through to keep Dimash at #1 for a third week in a row. For assured success we need the help of a few more fans tuning into the weekly livestream at 5-8 pm New York time. Calculate your time zone difference and then type REQUEST DIMASH as many times as possible in the chat during the three hours that the livestream airs. Success on MTV is important to Dimash and it should be important to those of us who love him as well.

I love this song and performance for its playfulness. Dimash's Dad was in the audience unknown to him. After the song, he saw him and they hugged. Dimash said if he had known his Dad was there he wouldn't have been so 'cheeky' with the performance. lol

Keep in mind that he does his own arrangements, so ALL of it is Dimash's decisions. This is massively different from the Vitas original. Loved your response - appreciate your appreciation of his performance skills. (And Vitas won' t allow him to do it again, so this is the only Opera 2 performance you'll see from Dimash.)

[@47foxy]

Hi, I actually found another vid on here of Dimash/Opera 2, I was surprised after learning about vitas lawsuit threat, the vid was after Singer comp and from memory it was another TV show - I believe whilst he can stop Dimash adding to his repertoire, there are instances where this (or any other copyright cases) can be overcome. I did add it to my favourites but haven't checked to see if its still there .. might have been taken down by YT, I must have a look !!

We all understand by now how much time and sacrifice he put in to achieve this skill level, and yet he makes it seem effortless like he leaped out of bed one morning singing and dancing like this. What an amazing vocalist and showman he is! He put in the work, and now he is getting his just recognition. BTW...I love your reactions.
