[@louk495]

There’s value in reading the LYRICS of a piece before even listening. It’s evident with this piece that the intent of the composer/arranger was not to create ‘fireworks.’ It’s quite a ‘thoughtful,’ beautiful piece.

[@shamyrkvin6431]

I really like this song. The sound is amazing. Dimash is another Level. He’s the king of the breathing voice. Good reaction.

[@Tatooa2001]

I really like when the singers are not where you expect them... It's a great artistic choice... And Dimash has nothing to prove now... The most important here is the emotion he's giving us. 😉

[@ceceliaoliveira4550]

I agree with you, Dimash doesn’t always have to show his entire ranges and still sound lovely. I love this song!

[@jamesk8s1]

I love that Dimash and Hua, especially Dimash, just when you think you got him figured out, he throws a curve ball.....and the expectations are mistaken :)! Fly Away was another curve ball!.

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

I love this song. The beat, the atmosphere, the vocals, the storytelling. So good.

[@gladysvital-lw3bi]

He is genius, and when it comes to music genre he could be master of any of it..,he is One and Only.....

[@lorrainecampbell9202]

The song was about tenderness towards people that have lost so much to violence, hence the delicacy in his voice.

[@blackpearl7665]

Every song features a new Dimash... Dears know that very well. Can u imagine having all this talent and deciding to put it aside for the sake of artistery and delivering beautiful emotions like these! I adore the song... It's a whisper from the other world to a lost love...

[@tuttasb5338]

He caught you off guard, that's Dimash! We never know what he's going to do next and he surprises us again and again. Like last year at New Wave where he presented 3 new songs, first Stranger, then Fly Away and ended with Ave Maria - all so different but every song very Dimash. His versatility keeps impressing me over and over again - he is a music platform algorithm nightmare, impossible to put in a box or connect to one single genre or style.

[@PeterBarber]

He really keeps me guessing! A true artist

[@elenaolk4066]

Hello, Peter! Thank you for the reaction! As soon as I saw that you'll be doing a reaction to this song, I knew that you'll be surprised)) I would really recommend you to check out this wonderful songs: Love is like a dream, Love of tired swans, Diva dance (from his Arnau concert), Unforgettable day (Gakku version), Hello, Ikanaide, Screaming (MV), Across endless dimensions (MV), Know, Ave Maria, Samaltau. These are the songs that I'm sure you'll like. And there's a lot to analise there. I really love your reactions and analisis of Dimash's songs. PLEASE make them more often!

[@tirallala1]

👉 Dimash's broken, delicately breathy voice, a simple melody with uncomplcated pop rhythm (reminiscent a bit of 'I Miss You'), loving, sad but also comforting words and haunting images... and this adorable smile from Dimash... tears flow over my smiling face. For me, the lyrics, the pop beat and the images of the video all go together very well. Dimash leaves his beloved because she has someone else. He knows that the other can become dangerous to him, but he doesn't know that his beloved is being blackmailed by this secret policeman. He thinks she's happy. Dimash assures her that everything is 'okay', he accepts and she should too. Life goes on and the pain will fade. It seems easy for him to give up his love. (pop beat, almost like a fast heartbeat) ... but you can hear the pain in Dimash's voice. He's fooling himself and her. The secret policeman, who suspects something, wants to catch Dimash. When he finally realizes that the young woman will never love him, he gives her the 'choice'. She flees with Dimash... A shot is fired... End? It leaves us stunned. What will happen? You brood and brood, but you can't get it out of your head. For whom is the glass always half full and for whom is it always half empty? ... Fascinating, clever ... great! Director Alina Veripia was blown away when she learned she was to create the story and video for Dimash's new song. Dimash also chose Alina's favorite from 4 stories: A beautiful and deep love story set in the years of Stalin's repression. This love is so deep, pure and immortal, It defies the horror, the fear, the penetrating cold and darkness of this time. The video was recorded in color but looks black and white, very dark, spookey. Only the lovers are shown in a bright, sun-drenched, warm, gold-bronze setting. These scenarios reinforce the intense feelings emanating from Dimash's breathy, delicate voice and the haunting, magical and beguiling, but also from the frightening and disturbing images. The location was St. Petersburg, appropriate to the dark year 1937 in which the video takes place. (Source and more information on Dimashnews) - Music - Igor Krutoy (Krutoy means 'Cool', *1954 in Ukraine SSR). He lives and works only in Moscow- Russia always. He is singer, a world- famous composer and music titan in Russia (billionaire). His family is in the US now. Krutoy came out of retirement to write songs for Dimash. The maestro and Dimash have been working together from time to time since 2018. They are friends and have a father-son relationship. - Lyrics - Igor Nikolaev, *1959, Russian singer and songwriter; Honored Artist of Russia. He also wrote the lyrics for „I Miss You“. - Written and directed by Alina Veripia * Backstage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXTagWxri5ublZo * Danger!

[@dennismcdonnell7853]

He has quite a few video/short movie style songs, and seems to be training himself for bigger horizons. All the intimate ones don’t have vocal acrobatics, but all are addictive, as this one becomes.

[@runtsgal]

Dimash likes to keep us on our toes, we never know what he will do next and I love that. His song Fly away is similar to this with a pop vibe and kept within a few octaves too. Of course the vocal fireworks are always appreciated.

[@thinuviel07]

I can't get enough of your professionalism. And honestly... I can't get enough of your voice.

[@krujevo]

A pleasant surprise, right? Dimash lives by music, not by the uniqueness of his voice. All his talent and hard work will be laid at the feet of art, and not vice versa. He sang in a trio with Aida Garifullina and Lara Fabian and there his vocals serve as a support for two beautiful female voices. In a trio he is very modest, because it's better for performance, female voices fly and sparkle against his background =)

[@diarchos5019]

We don’t need fireworks. Dimash gives as much as needed to the song and music - everything he does is considered and as you realise an artistic choice. I love the chill/club vibe of this song - he still after all these years keeps surprising us - his versatility is what we love about him and keeps us hooked. This song was written especially for Dimash by Igor Krutoy - their collaborations are must sees: Stranger, Ave Maria, Love is like a Dream, Your Love, Olympico, Know, Passione, Love of Tired Swans, Mademoiselle Hyde, I Miss You. Fly Away and I Miss You feature more Dimash fireworks than Okay but showed a new direction for him. Love your reactions. Look forward to more of Dimash - too few and far between unfortunately. 🙏🏻🇦🇺

[@davidricks7128]

I think that's the beauty and what brings us all back to Dimash is the fact that every song shows all the different styles and emotions of his music

[@user-vh6bm5ws3r]

Dimash is the best singer in the world, he is an alien

[@hitomiochiai8787]

I love when Dimash surprises us with new music. There are other songs like this, where vocal acrobatics dont come into play, and i think i appreciate them more. But i think i just love all of his work. Lol.

[@cottontopprintshop452]

So in a live concert situation, this will be used as a 'vocal break' in between the power and acrobatics! I liked it very much and he was playing on his acting abilities this time. Thanks for reacting! Ready for another!

[@DiaLinwen]

Actually, it's very difficult to sing an entire song like that, on the point of breaking.

[@eannemarie739]

@@DiaLinwen Wel said Dia Dear . Love from the netherlands 🇳🇱

[@bejewel4669]

😄 This is not the first song where Dimash sings in just 2 - 2 1/2 octaves. The song dictates what Dimash chooses to do and is plainly an artistic choice. Keep listening to his vast repertoire and try not to expect anything since he loves to keep surprising us. Just listen to his two different versions of A Thousand Miles A Common Dream from the original 2020 performance on a Chinese TV show and the more recent duet in China with Zhang Yingxi. How he arranges the two different songs had to include Yingxi's lovely but normal tenor voice in contrast to his own. Both songs are gorgeous but so different in his artistic choices. Note Dimash is the original singer of this 3000 year old Mandarin poem set to music.

[@mmsminimalmusic3110]

Yeah, the 1000 miles song is really good and beautiful. I think that many of his Chinese songs are better than some of his English songs.

[@PeterBarber]

Thanks for the info!

[@ceceliakrieg5824]

@@PeterBarber I think you will really enjoy this one as it is Opera and the other singer is being trained by Placido Dimingo. Dimash is wonderful in this song and the richness of his sound is so apparent even against someone who is as good as Zhang Yingxi. Could you please react to that one. I would be most interested. Thanks from Australia.

Здесь мы видим другого ДИМАША, не только гениального ПЕВЦА, но и прекрасного АКТЕРА

[@noahtomato3515]

Really appreciate this detailed reaction, thank you. I believe Dimash has left his singing contest mindset and has the confidence not to use his range all the time. 2017-18 is the era of peak belting Dimash I think - All By Myself (the Singer version) is fun!

Shocking that two of the best music reactors have been unable to comprehend the context of this song or of One Sky.

[@hatussa8473]

Most of his songs are in a normal range without any crazy stuffs. His Kazakhs songs for example are deep and beautiful. What he does depend on the style or the message he wants to transmit. People usually recommend the crazy ones for reactions but it's far from being the only thing he does.

His Kazakhs songs are his soul. Qairan Elim and Amanat are also very beautiful.

[@EllaSilentDragon]

@@aysunaydin329Amanat ❤❤❤ All his Kazakh songs are really beautiful… 🥰 But I also have a soft spot for the Chinese songs, like the on the singer: Our Love 😊

[@lovesyoutube8591]

Quoting the video director and writer of the script (Alina Veripya) : “This is a very beautiful and deep love story that takes place during the years of Stalin’s repressions. In this horror, in this piercing cold, in this crime, the love of two people is born, as if they did not come from this world. And they are so pure, so beautiful in their feelings, that no darkness can extinguish this light." On the question of location, the team made an unanimous decision to shoot the MV in St. Petersburg, because no other city could convey the flavor of the harsh and terrible year of > 1937. Their life and love story are invaded, and broken by NKVD (old name for KGB), representatives of the regime`s power, who could pick on you for any reason, take anything from you, throw you in jail, legally execute you, and even assassinate you, shoot you in the back. The officer represents power, so he can claim anything he wants, and he can get away with anything. It`s not about forbidden love, it`s about the attitude of people representing power in an authoritarian regime, to destroy, reduce a "world full of color" down to only "a flash in the sky". The switch back and forth between images of the happy couple and images of the girl being pestered by the NKVD officer, has the purpose of highlighting the contrast between the sun-lit beauty of good and love, and the grim-colored ugliness of evil intentions. The subject of the story is the fate of beauty, good and purity under an oppressive regime, and the self-entitlement of evil, that puts it`s brutal stamp over it, with the gunshot. The screen going black before the gunshot helps keep the focus on the attitude of evil, who doesn`t know to do anything other than hurt, successfully or not - instead of on who the NKVD agent managed to hit or not. That gunshot remains ringing in the dark, making it timeless, leaving us with a bitter taste, and making it a powerful reminder of historical regime brutality.

[@natashawilliams2378]

Another beautiful song by Dimash without any "acrobatics" is "Couldn't leave" for a Chinese show "Go go squid". Just serving the song, and sounding perfect without covering 6 octaves

[@EllanaTs]

I recently discovered it and absolutely love it!

[@barbaraelliott3510]

Dimash does this from time to time where he doesn't offer everything he has because the music doesn't call for it. Another example is a live performance of a Ukrainian folksong Marigold. A sort of love song to one's Mother. His Mother was in the audience and it was quite moving. When he sang Ulysse with Aida Garifullina he never went past his high tenor voice and sang mostly in baritone. Ave Maria is done entirely in his counter-tenor range and up.

[@eannemarie739]

Totally agreed Marigolds is so tender loveliest song of dimash. Background info written by Mykalo SINGAIVSKY 1936-2013 who was 5 years old when he had to leave kiev because of WW2 , when he came back he saw his mamma planting. marigolds between the destruction. Kind regards from the netherlands 🇳🇱

[@barbaraelliott3510]

@@teame51 Thank you for pointing that out.

[@DiaLinwen]

Dimash is a very versatile artist. Many of his songs don't have wide range or high notes, but they are just as amazing. It can be just his breathing, his vibrato or some little but beautiful runs that affect a lot the emotional perception of his songs, and not some grand epic things. Personally, i think that if Dears requested more to react to his incredible beautiful and moving Kazakh and other songs that are just about beautiful vocals and emotion and not about vocal extremes, reactors wouldn't be so surprised...

[@paivyt.]

Demonstrating his power via restraint... Dimash is virtuosic in his ability to control both his voice and artistry. It's nice to see that the fireworks that won him XYZ things isn't absolutely necessary for his continued success, it can become a stale trick if utilized every time. You mentioned that it was all very underground-club and atmospheric, I agree; it reminds me of original trance without the long-form development. Btw speaking of Billie, your Bad Guy video should be required viewing. lol

[@Ginger_Cat2604]

You are right, Dimash has quite a lot of songs, which are not extreme vocally, and some of them are fan favorites, but the fans recommend mostly "songs with fireworks" to reactors. Most of Dimash's own compositions ("War and Peace", "Give Me Your Love", "Be with Me", "Papa-Mama") and Kazakh songs ("Give Me Love", "Omir Oter", "Amanat", "Qaragym Ai", "Qairan Elim", "Fly Away", "Kieli Meken", "Durdaraz", "Sagyndym Seni", "Don't Make Me Dream", "Kusni Korlan", "Moonlight Mother", "Leyla"), some of his Chinese ("Only You", "Couldn't Leave", "Thousands of Miles - a Common Dream", "Restart My Love", "Neverland", "Be Happy") and other songs ("Golden", "Marigolds", "If I Never Breathe Again", "Lay Down") are like this.

[@bejewel4669]

Don't forget to add "Ulisse" with Aida Garifulina. Absolutely gorgeous duet. (Dimash sings the entire song in baritone/tenor then takes the very high note at the end. Likely, in my opinion, to save Aida's voice since she immediately sang her solo song right after Ulisse with no rest.)

[@mmsminimalmusic3110]

I think Ulisse is a better choice for a Dimash reaction because two voices against one obscure Dimash´s voice more than just Aida and him. After all, the reaction is about Dimash´s voice and singing, not about some beautiful song in general.

I'd put this track on in the background while doing housework or similar. It's not demanding of my full attention and it's good vibes.

I'm interested what the next explosive track will be that he comes out with.

[@anniebygrave9300]

This song is all about the video, not the vocals. The story telling is the surprise he is giving us this time. Always innovating every time he brings something new out. It is the contrast between sweet love and evil power. So when you only comment on the vocals, unfortunately this time you weren't able to get the point of the song. The true love destroyed by a power grabbing regime, with no escape for the lovers except in death. The general will not let them stay together and he enjoyed played a game of hope and dare with them. They would not survive. I always love your reactions, and I love your vocal analyses, but this time you perhaps needed to watch the video, notice the contrasts between golden love and black and white reality, to open your mind more to really understand Dimash's creativity and how he is now pushing his musical boundaries by making a comment about politics and how destructive it can be for the ordinary people, all wrapped up in a gentle song. There are many layers in this. The lyrics are sung from the point of view of a man leaving his girl because she has someone new in her life, yet the video shows her being forced into the new relationship in order to survive under a brutal regime and to protect her man because he is being searched for by the police. It is about powerlessness in the face of cruelty. It was filmed in Russia. What is happening in Russia right now? How are they behaving? Our love is for Dimash's amazing vocals, but here he tones them down to pass on his message. We all need to realise there is more to Dimash than singing. He needs us to listen to his undertow.

Its about love and sure it refects on dark pages of history of a nation , that at that time also happened in germany 🇩🇪 and I don't see anyone has a problems with address that . But I respect your opinion en appreciate your reaction to the song 🎵 Ok 😉kind regards from the netherlands 🇳🇱

I loved the soft whispery vocals before I watched the video. I am less into MVs, I love the song regardless of the visuals.

[@mmsminimalmusic3110]

But that is exactly the problem: A song must stand on its own. After all people don´t see the video when they listen to a song on a streaming platform. And without the video the song just falls flat. So Peter was right in commenting on the song only.

I would love to hear your reaction & analyze Dimash’s song. Across endless Dimensions. One of my all time favorite songs from him. The end of the song is out of this world.

[@corneleggberry4167]

Yeah Dimash

[@EvieDelacourt]

If you turn on the English captions and watch the video again, paying attention to the events portrayed in Dimash's performance, I think you'll understand his decision not to let vocal pyrotechnics get in the way of his message. His songs with the crazy amount of range tend to be his competition pieces. While I enjoy those and have mad respect for his abilities, my favorite songs of his are actually his Kazakh folk and folk rock songs and the songs like this one where he is telling a story in music video form and we get to appreciate him as an actor as well as a vocalist.

[@eannemarie739]

Totally agree with you Evie , peter had explained himself in a similar reaction like yours . You could read it here somewhere , for my his explanation was a little bit frustrating Kind regards Dear from the netherlands 🇳🇱

[@anahills3836]

Nice reaction. I think Dimash did a lot of his vocal acrobatics for competitions where he had one chance to wow the judges. But also, he uses the style and range that he thinks best express the feelings of the song he is singing. Sometimes he sings high notes to show off a bit, sometimes to wow judges and sometimes because it's the best way he can get across the emotions he wants to convey. When he doesn't need them, he doesn't use them. I'm glad you talked a lot about the airiness of his voice. I think it was even airier than "Ikanaide"! I also had the thought that he was trying to see how much air he could use without losing the words.

Great reaction Peter, I recommend you listen to his ballad LOVE LIKE A DREAM or his covers of MY HEART WILL GO ON and also DAYBREAK, you'll like them a lot 🤗🤗🤗

[@ju1ietta]

Well, I'm glad you've discovered another side of this artist. It is important for Dimash, first of all, to convey to the public the meaning, emotion of the song. His broad vocal abilities are just a tool with extensive capabilities that allows him to perform this main task. In this particular song, the choice of a whispering voice is not only a tribute to fashion, but it corresponds to the plot of the clip in which Dimash performs the song on behalf of the disembodied soul of the murdered hero. The whole clip is a flashback of the soul stuck in this world, which can only be freed by letting go of your beloved, allowing her to live on, allowing her to love someone else, allowing her to find happiness again. Of course, this is not the first time Dimash uses such a technique without demonstrating vocal acrobatics. For example, "Amanat", 2021, kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2OzoqGEaJajgpI in Kazakh, or "Fly away", 2021, kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqGVooJ_qZ6bmq8 in English, or "Marigolds" , 2020, kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp3bY6OjhJh9sLc in Ukrainian. Of course, these are not the only examples in his very wide repertoire :)

[@bethanyp8847]

Dimash is just awesome like that. He can keep it simple and sweet all the way through, doesn’t need to have the acrobatics in every single song. It’s amazing, he’s amazing!! You should try reacting to Faouzia, she can get some nice low notes but also does a few aerobatics with her voice! Try her stripped versions before the produced ones, you’ll get a better sound/feel of her voice. Enjoy!!

[@crismac2258]

Es una canción que describe una historia muy triste primero y trágica después

[@KristenMattern]

I recommend Fly Away…one of his more recent ones. Similar in some ways to this one.

[@ginaduvall2033]

Am I the only dear who sees Dimash creating a new genre? Specifically, he adds cultural interpretation in his songs, skipping through emotions and scales and classical/contemporary.

[@woofwoof8297]

This is one of those songs where Dimash doesn't utilize his vocal abilities to the extreme, perhaps as an artistic choice to show that he's more than just a vocalist, but also a singer. If you want to see his more vocally jam packed songs, I suggest his cover of Show must go on in the Singer 2017 or Sinful Passion. Anyway, love your analyses of Dimash!

[@paivyt.]

Dimash actually has a lot of songs where he doesn't utilize his vocal abilities in a great extent... Beautiful, emotional songs, that are wonderful as they are. No need for any fireworks, when he can totally captivate with just his emotional delivery (Qairan Elim, Qaragym-ai, Give Me Love, If I Never Breathe Again, My Swan, Marigolds, Mama - Papa...). In some songs, Dimash delights with subtle mastery and finesse in details (Amanat, Thousands of Miles a Common Dream, Ikanaide...). I don't think such a song could even exist where Dimash is able to show everything; he has endlessly different tools. And he keeps searching new ones... Dimash strives to be an authentic artist (his words, kind of). He expresses himself by his music/art. It's not about showing off, or trying to create some imago. Dimash is real, he is what he is. He creates, experiments, finds new ways, break rules if he feels so. He likes to do certain things, but isn't fixed to any formulas. One never knows what to expect from him - sometimes the surprise is that there's no surprise:) like with this song Okay. Dimash's father once told how Dimash handles his songs. At first, Dimash thoroughly reflects the meaning of song, what he wants to convey. Only after that he chooses the vocals, to tell the story and show the message. Dimash serves what the song needs. He doesn't need to impress every time. And I think it really isn't his goal at the first place. :)

[@DiaLinwen]

I agree with the comment above. Dimash has plenty of songs where he doesn't use his full vocal abilities or even very far from it.

[@DiaLinwen]

@@paivyt. Hi, completely agree with you! By the way, often the seemingly simple and subtle things he does are in fact more difficult technically than the seemingly difficult ones. People just don't understand.

I think this song is all about the scenes. And maybe he is setting us up for The Story Of The Sky. However, these quiet breathy very sweet tones are very sad and emotional, and then comes the bang !! Just watch it again, and gain understanding from the visuals….1st or 2nd World War. And… that tune….becomes addictive.

[@kriknut1]

Oh I felt so sorry for you, knowing that you would not experience what you were hoping and waiting for. But you really did great. Out of a song that almost nothing is happening. I enjoyed your reaction. I must say I was a little disappointed myself when I heard it the first time, though he has many songs without any acrobatic vocals, but those songs are usually Kazakh songs. Please try Confessa and The Diva Dance (from Singer 2017). Hoping to see you soon for some more Dimash.

Sorry Dear, I have to object a little. 😅😘 I wouldn’t really say they are like Okay. 🤔 Yes, Most have less range for Dimash-songs, but still more range than most Pop songs. But the vocals are still incredible! 😊❤ And Our Love, which he sang on the masked Singer, is incredible vocally. He did not hold back, because he was recognized instantly 😉🥰

[@zeustn9525]

I hope we're not going to wait another 2 months for a new Dimash reaction. Songs that are not reacted to very often but are super interesting to analyse: Jasmine flower (with the anime character), vocalise, blizzard again (the duo), Amanat, Qaragym ai. The last two are without fireworks but much more interesting than this one in my opinion. Also, I think what Dimash excels at is singing traditional kazakh songs with a modern spin. Daididau (bastau or singer 2017) or Samaltau (tokyo jazz festival) are a must watch!

[@carpelibrarium8522]

Most of the videos on Dimash's channel have closed captions, if you ever want to rewatch for the lyric translation.

[@ankwm]

Thanks for your reaction, as always very interesting, even if this song is indeed different (but it is not the first one, there are others without "acrobatic vocals" for ex. Amanat is also a very sweet and beautiful song). I think he chooses the way of singing to fit what he wants to pass on. He does not sing for showing off, his voice serves the music. For this reason, he refuses to clarify his exact range: he said in an itw that it does not matter, what he wants is bringing joy and peace to people. Please continue to react to him: his Kazakh folk songs are amazing (Daididau, Samaltau), some ballads (Love is like a dream, Autumn Strong (Arnau version)), and my absolute favorite one: Know (New wave and Arnau vocalise version, both are mind-blowing).

At the end of the video, you can imagine yourself how you want to end it. That's what is so great about it!! I love the song and Dimash's voice in this one. He is the best! This video is set in 1937 during the Stalinist purges. The secret police had total power. They executed millions of people--not just their political enemies, but also ethnic minorities who they considered "untrustworthy." Musicians, dancers, and artists were among them. Dimash as the hero perhaps represents both of these categories. End? It leaves us stunned. What will happen? You brood and brood, but you can't get it out of your head. For whom is the glass always half full and for whom is it always half empty? ... Fascinating, clever ... great!

[@addisonmcdorman7929]

It may be unusual for what you heard already but it is not unusual for dimash to stay in his mid range for a whole song. He may access a head mix occasionally even in those but he keeps it pretty even keeled. You just haven't heard those yet. Those would be Give Me Love from his digital show in 2021. (Not to be confused with Give Me Your Love) Interestingly you're not the only one who's mentioned the Billie Eilish vibes. Also this speaks your point about how versatile he is, this song alone lets you know that he doesn't have to sing in every range he's got in order to produce a well written beautiful song.

[@tonipenkova4325]

Great reaction . Of course it is Dimash's choice and it depends on the meaning of the song . It's not just showing the vocal range . He is always different in his choice of the songs . I look forward to the next analysis of the next Dimash's song 😍 With love from Bulgaria ❤️❤️❤️

Dimash is always able to surprise. You thought you`ve got the clue for him, but he`s not doing the same thing all the time. ;) At first I was a little bit disappointed just like you.

You can dare to tell your opinion. :)

[@lindahake1666]

Why does Dimash always have to have fireworks? This song is very hard to sing with this breathiness. And a beautiful melody as well.

[@nicevinci_dear]

It’s one of the few songs where he doesn’t show his wide vocal range or vocal exercises other than that incredibly soft, breathy voice. Perhaps the content of this song is more important to him than showing his vocal ability. I think that’s a very good choice for this song. At first the song didn’t appeal to me that much. I wasn’t alone there. You’re not used to such a “normal” song from Dimash. But together with the MV, a masterpiece. It moved me incredibly. All his songs and especially the MV’s have a deeper meaning. I love this one so much. It’s now really one of my favorites. The MV is about the time during Stalin’s repression in 1937. Back then, the secret police could do whatever they wanted. I think this officer for some reason was looking for Dimash’s character and then forced his girlfriend into some kind of relationship. She had to endure it to protect the love of her life. Realizing that she never stopped loving Dimash’s character, the officer ended it in his own way. The video was shot to the end, but the scene at the end where he dies in her arms was left out. I tell you this, because I don't know if you are interested to know the content of this video at all. Just in case 😁

[@DiaLinwen]

Actually, most of his songs don't have a wide vocal range. Many of his Kazakh and Chinese songs, for instance, but others as well. And those songs are all so beautiful, as beautiful as the more epic ones to me. Because with Dimash it's about artistry and emotion in all he does. He always chooses what's right for the song.

[@nicevinci_dear]

@@teresaz-l2963 Hallo Teresa, du bist oft sehr negativ den Reaktoren gegenüber eingestellt. Du darfst nicht vergessen, Dimash ist nicht der einzige auf den sie reagieren. Sie machen, keine Ahnung, vielleicht fast jeden Tag einen anderen Künstler, oder mehrere. Viele davon finden ihn toll, ihnen gefallen aber auch andere Sänger. Auch deren Fans müssen sie gerecht werden. Viele verstehen Dimash vielleicht nicht auf die Art, wie wir Dears ihn sehen. Und das ist auch ok. Jeder hat etwas was ihm besser gefällt oder weniger. Einen Reaktor würde ich aber nie angreifen (bis auf einen negativen, aber nicht bösen Kommentar), da das ein böses Licht auf alle Dears und vor allem auf Dimash wirft. Lass uns lieb (dear) sein und auch andere Meinungen akzeptieren. Einfach ignorieren 🤷. Die Welt ist so groß mit so vielen unterschiedlichen Menschen und so vielen unterschiedlichen Meinungen❤️. Ich hoffe du bist mir jetzt nicht böse 😘.

[@nicevinci_dear]

@@DiaLinwen I think you’re right. That’s why I’m always happy to recommend his Kazakh songs. I’m always a bit sad when they only react to Dimash because of his octaves or vocal acrobatics. The emotions that he conveys, the love for music, which can not only be recognized by his vocal range, often falls by the wayside. For example, I think all his MV’s are real masterpieces. They always say something, stimulate thought. You can literally feel the love he puts into his Kazakh songs and it’s so contagious that you have to love this country too without ever having been there. He’s just a great artist, not just a singer.
