[@Karin_Aquatica]

This was interesting to see how people react when they hear Dimash the very first time not with SOS but with Omir Oter. Very cool. Thx Joel.

[@user-vg9ud7up3h]

We thank your guest for sitting and watching Dimash. This song is one of the most touching songs I heard from him. When I first heard it, I saw myself in the mirror then I cried. For me, the most important message is about giving the utmost value to the short time you have in this life so you will not live in your old age full of regrets. The title of the song means "LIFE IS SHORT." As Dimash said, when it is time for him to sit in the audience while watching others perform on stage, he does not want people to tell him that during his time on stage, he performed badly. It is a message to the younger ones that while you are young, do things as excellent as you can.

[@nsnz]

I don't think he was just referring to giving an excellent performance but always doing it with integrity and dignity "to be able to see others in the eyes." It's one of my favorite songs, it always leaves me thinking about so much.

[@nancyladycarrilloguia1973]

❤❤❤

[@debbiemorgan859]

Why would you show a song that is all about the lyrics to someone without showing them the lyrics? This song is about living your life with intent, of never giving up until you have achieved your dreams. All the glowing people in the MV are people that had a massive impact on the history of Kazakhstan. Dimash playing his older self echoing his statement that he wants to live his life in such a way that when it's time for him to leave the stage he can sit amongst the audience and look people in the eye without shame for things he may have done in the past. This is a deep, emotional piece and not one that can be clearly understood by people who deal with an industry where songs only become popular if you're singing about material possessions, drugs, profanity accompanied by an MV full of naked women. It's like throwing pearls before swine.

[@magosiawasala2663]

I couldn't have said it better, bravo!👍

[@hitomiochiai8787]

Ömir Oter means Life Passes. And the theater is the Astana Opera House, one of the top opera houses in the world. Great choice in a song. Definitely a sleeper song, but one of my favorites. There is a live version too from his digital show.

[@danielmarkiewicz8489]

thank you for promoting Omir Oter, this song is rarely pick by reactors

[@susanchen7223]

Love this song so much❤

[@ProteoProterino]

The title and meaning of the clip can be translated as “Ode to Life” The video symbolically shows people of different eras, ages, genders, classes. These are legendary personalities who have long been dead, but they left behind a great legacy, and ordinary young residents of modern Kazakhstan, who have yet to walk their path and reach new heights,”

[@ProteoProterino]

The turning point of the video is the old man, whose face is not immediately visible. He walks through the empty hall, nostalgia can be read in his every movement, as if he had already been here before. At a key moment, the viewer understands that this is Dimash, but in old age. An adult man, wise with life experience, and a young guy full of energy and aspirations are one whole. The old man in the auditorium looks at his young self on stage, and his whole life flashes before his eyes. This moment personifies the artist’s quote that one day he will also sit in the auditorium as a simple spectator, and he should not be ashamed of the path he has taken in life. The final frame of the video brings viewers back

[@szolanek]

I am 61. I was hoping for the wise old age, but it's not coming, nor I see it for others. What I see is, life is a downhill after age 2. We just grow dumber and dumber.😅

[@ProteoProterino]

@@szolanek . 😄I feel very sorry for you.😥Not all people grow old. Everyone has their own path, their wealth and their own achievements, merits and mistakes too. Dimash sang paying tribute to his roots and his national culture. And about what he would like in his old age he is proud of what he has done and that his ancestors would be proud of him, who also did a lot for the people and his family. I wish you excellent health, peace and goodness to you and your loved ones.🤲🙏

[@szolanek]

@@ProteoProterino I got you. While I was young, I had a great respect for aged people.....now I know them😅 What is with life is, you are at your best when you know nothing. Even now, when you enter a new environment, you are all perception. Or when we choose a vacation place by accident, we will have a great time. With expectations nope As we learn, we built walls around us, and our knowledge becomes a prison. I don't believe in wisdom anymore. They say, it is kindness. Hmm, could be.

[@antonioscafuri7325]

Ciao, mi piace vedere le tue reazioni . Dimash per quanto mi riguarda è un fenomeno, una sorta di alieno. Quando un cantante riesce a farti venire la pelle d'oca vuol dire che è riuscito nel suo intento . Alti o bassi , per lui non fa differenza. Un misto di stile musicali pazzeschi. Insomma , in giro della sua dimensione non ne trovo così tanti. Immenso. Davvero unico. Che nostro Signore lo possa proteggere sempre e che il successo lo possa travolgere come giustamente merita. Un caro abbraccio e grazie per la compagnia graditissima dei tuoi interventi.

[@EllaSilentDragon]

Great discussion at the end. This song gave me goosebumps. And I‘m glad your guest liked it too. ❤

[@user-fx6il6qs6e]

Прекрасная песня с глубоким смыслом!

[@suedouglas5455]

No, this song is about life and how it goes so quickly and whether the way you live your life, will leave an impression on others, when you leave this earth. The people are not his family, they are different people who lived in ages past throughout Kazakh history. Maybe it might be an idea for you to listen to the song on your own on youtube with the subtiltles on after you have recorded your own reaction to it on youtube, then you can tell your guests what the song is about?

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

This song is stunning. I had never heard it before. You did get the man to want to listen again.

[@SandraTorres-yw6lx]

Hola. No es la mejor opción para escuchar por primera vez está hermosa voz, espero escuchen otra de tantas hermosas canciones, la voz siempre me cautiva, me transporta. Gracias por reaccionar a Dimash, Saludos desde México ❤😊

[@eric201247]

This is a beautiful song of Dimash and will always makes you reflect on life❤

[@ricardosanfernando7378]

Love videos introducing Dimash to new people

[@apashkafromnytnt4475]

So beautiful song with a deep meaning!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@juanmacass]

I like to hear new Dimash songs, but I think it s better for people that hear Dimash for first time, to chose songs like SOS, Sinful Passion, Stranger or even the last one I heard, i think its name is I've got you

[@mithodolce1248]

This song is about life being young and getting how life flies but in the meanwhile conquer your dream Make your dream a reality

[@ananovak1468]

Nice song, although it is usually not suggested to the reactors. It is not full of vocal acrobatics. I have this song in company with his Omir, Ikanaide and Okey songs 🙂. All are beautiful.

[@jorgelarosa177]

Excelent 🔥🔥 dimash the best

[@anaissalazarrealtor]

Omir Oter es de mis canciones favoritas de Dimash! Me deja reflexionando siempre.. gracias desde Venezuela ❤

[@sarahdomingues5754]

To understand the entire context of the video and song, you need to watch the translation, the lyrics have a very deep message, like most Kazakh songs that Dimash sings. Thank you for introducing Dimash to more people.😊 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@wassilok8090]

Будьте здоровы и счастливы ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🫂

[@miteristord7913]

tant d'émotion !!

[@gabrielaroblesbarrera5449]

Muchas gracias Joel, por dar a conocer a Dimash con diferentes personalidades de la música, le agradezco a tu invitado el escucharlo con atención y dar su sincera opinión! Saludos desde México! ❤️🇲🇽💕

[@nicevinci_dear]

It's sad, that you always see the videos without the lyrics. They are outstanding.

[@chidinmaonuoha1016]

The best singer in the world.

[@MdRobin-bv5gv]

I loved this song from his Digital concert it’s way better live! 🇺🇸❤️🇰🇿

[@TracyH13]

Thanks Joel ✨️ ❤️

[@lilianaraposo348]

Hello! I always like your reactions to Dimash. Thank you so much! This time, although the song is beautiful to the Dears, or to someone that already know Dimash, I don't think it was the right choice to show his capabilities to someone who doesn't know him. Thats my opinion. It worths what it worths... Some Dears think the oposite as I saw in the comments below. Greetings from Portugal.

[@extremebee4885]

Thank you for always introducing and promoting Dimash and his songs♥️

[@christinaarevalo6863]

Thank you for promoting this beautiful song, with a profound message! I love it very much!!!

[@denizkaynar6277]

Allah Kazak halkı'nın bağımsızlığını daim etsin.Çok üzüntülü yıllar yaşadılar.Dimash bu yüzden toprağına tarihine ,özgürlüğe ve kültürüne çok bağlı. Video için teşekkürler.

[@olichkaBelDear]

I also really like the live version from the digital show 2021

[@jeanblythe1595]

That thud was my jaw hitting the floor. Why? Was there ever--could there ever be a time when Dimash didn't fill a concert hall, when he sang that well? My mind cannot comprehend it. What I loved, however, was Dimash's acting. The final of him, in pain over whether the hall will be full this time, his worry--wow.

[@lupitagallego375]

THANKS for your reactions to Dimash!!!!…..amazing Dimash…..

[@philharris5848]

Great reaction to a song which is all about the passage of time and that we all only have a limited amount to achieve our aims in life. Hence looking at various people from Kazakhstan in the audience with the good and the great in society held in high regard. Please consider reacting to the "Live" version, as I think in some ways it's even more impressive.

[@dorotheemoller457]

Great if your guest will check out more of Dimash. He will be surprised about "his style"

[@ssshadowwolf6762]

One of the faces was Rassul Usmanov -he sings back up with Dimash and does theater and sings solo too. I’m wondering if one of the kids might be Yerlans young son ( Dimash’s sound guy ) and one of the girls might be Dimash’s sister . Obviously the older man in the audience was Dimash aged . Life does indeed pass quickly .

[@elizabethriffo1430]

Muchas gracias por reaccionar a nuestro príncipe con esta hermosa canción ❤❤❤❤

[@Sisterfifi]

Hey Joel there’s another version of SOS available that’s different to all the rest. It was done as part of Tokyo Jazz Festival 2020.

[@giovannigio3764]

Better show him his newest music video!

[@duvielleyva6067]

Esta canción en particular de dimash, cuando la escuché por primera vez sin subtítulos, me pareció normal, la segunda vez la vi subtitulada y me impacto mucho su mensaje, fue la noche y el día, con y sin subtítulos.

[@professorcarlosedmundomart2654]

Master Dimash only has 2.4 million followers on his official page. In my opinion, they do not reflect everything that Master Dimash contributes to art! I invite you to visit it and if you like its work, subscribe. Greetings from Mexico City.

[@Sisterfifi]

Not the song I would have gotten a Dimash virgin to hear. Maybe if they were a real singer that had studied singing properly as they would be able to discern all the cool things he is doing with his vocal, that the rest of us cannot discern.

[@davidedwards7890]

❤😂🎉CHANGING 😢😮😅😊THE 😊😅😮😢WORLD 🌎 🎉😂❤

[@aurelijapost]

Epic.

[@szolanek]

It was new to me. Thanks!

[@lauraalkhaz2163]

Tell him to check out the same song but live from his digital 2021 concert where the subtitles are there. It is a song about life, how our fate is not in our hands. Time passes. I believe the people in the video are there to represent perhaps well known people in the history of Kazakhstan etc. Life passes by quickly.

[@lilidragan2176]

I hope you opened that door.

[@lorenagallardo4098]

They need the lyrics to unterstand the song

[@helena82]

Questa canzone non mi arriva e in più non credo sia il biglietto da visita di Dimash. Con tutto il repertorio straordinario che si ritrova potevi scegliere meglio. Grazie comunque ❤

[@user-id5yk6cv7v]

You are not right. It is Kazakh songs that are his calling card, they are his essence, his pain and his dreams. Everything else is a repertoire developed over the years. It’s just that Europeans and Americans sometimes don’t understand this, looking for something that is close to their perception of music!

[@silbaoli]

​@@user-id5yk6cv7v👏👏👏👏

[@Kfuglif]

​@@user-id5yk6cv7v Please don't generalize people. It is wrong.

[@stellamarina.]

@@Kfuglif in the comment, the person doesn't say all Americans or all Europeans. Without the word "all" the meaning inludes a few, some or many. So, it's not a generalization.

[@tatiana.4536]

💞💞💞

[@lokky7]

You could at least read the translation of this song to the guest after the video.

[@littlebigkicker]

u should hae playes when i got u by dimash

[@magofkemh]

I wonder if Sting has listened to Dimash Qudaibergen. His opinion of "modern music": kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnjOhqCuqZZpmMk That's exactly what Dimash DOES do when he composes music.

[@skirk9184]

Strange song song to use for intro to Dimash. Dimash brings depth. Todays commercial music is anything but.

[@roca8060]

Thanks for sharing to yours friends this amazing singer but is not the song to introduce Dimash , you should choose a better song with lyrics.

[@markupton1417]

I feel like this was a fail. This is a song a Dimash fan might love... it's NOT what you should show someone who's never heard Dimash before. My opinion, of course, but I'm right...deal.

[@queeniebennett5589]

Why would they clean the vocals...

[@almamerk]

WHEN WILL YOU SHOW THEM SINFUL PASSION????

[@p.f.5718]

Don’t clean up the voice - for sure 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤯 What a unthinkable idea - now I see why the music business is so idiotic

[@user-lg5ih6ln8t]

Это точно😂

[@user-yn7sj1dx8c]

А почему голова постоянно дёргается?

[@heathercraig526]

He bopps to the rhythm of the songs.😊

[@petecogan1]

Not as spectacular as his usual stuff but beautiful

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

So, I have not decided regarding this song as a choice for reactions. Beautiful and enchanting. But, we do not hear what Dimash can do, except hearing that he has a powerful voice. But anyhow, its not my channel and I am not all that much interested in Dimash other than I think his abilities are impressive.

[@Kfuglif]

It is gorgeous. Feel it with your heart. Pay attention to the lyrics. Dimash best songs don't always use his full range.

[@diannelake969]

This song is certainly beautiful, but it doesn’t showcase all of Dimash’s talents. Try showing Stranger.

[@doargietweitervandah]

Nooh... Why not sos...

[@geminitwin1160]

Time to switch to English language Dimash songs for your English speaking guests. Stranger would be perfect.

[@administracionunidaddediag290]

No no dissatisfaction for the listener… if you invite someone try to present a more accurate song

[@mohammedalaskar6822]

Not a nice choice this time pal. I mean every dimash song is great and spectacular but it's not the right one to introduce people with dimash. Usually I prefer SOS, sinful passion and olimpico
