The last part of his performance always makes me laugh simply because I'm so amazed. His voice at that point sounds like a flute.

[@sandykoh3313]

More violin than flute in this case! But i totally get what you mean, its amazing no matter how many times i watch it 😆

[@misukiylambertson2764]

Whistle tones. Honestly E6 is very achievable to whistle tone for most healthy tenors, just practice more haha

[@utkuoz4443]

Strongly agree... It makes me laugh and it makes me go down tears; he is incredible !!!

you're the only dude who actually gives good advice

[@IllusionmanJB]

try ken tamplin

[@morbidangel989]

You should check out Zach Ansley. He's a new and quite small channel at this point (771 subs). The major crux of his vocal analyses are pointing out what is, or is not, healthy and how to alter you technique for long term vocal health. Due to his firm rooting in bel canto technique, and strong focus on vocal health and longevity, he is very against harsh vocals. He is open to evidence that there is a safe way to do them though.

You are starting to become one of my favorite KZbin vocal coaches. I have listened to your vowel advice and jaw tension advice and it has made my singing so much better. Thank you for these technique reviews! We get to see how the greats we love perform the way they do.

[@dragonsolo3744]

[@jackzeldon2883]

agree 100% - Luv listening to Sam - he's by a pretty good margin the best that I've seen on YT at explaining technical aspects of voice & he's so knowledgeable about the music & the pronunciation in various languages it's really remarkable.... I enjoy watching his reactions too - very clear he's a Vocal teaching savant as much as Dimash is as a vocalist

[@lkayh]

This is one of my favorite videos by Dimash, precisely because he’s having fun with it. He’s playing with his audience, cheeky as heck. Vitas won’t let him sing this anymore-I wish Igor Krutoy would write something this playful for Dimash to sing-all their songs are so serious!

[@luckylolo1749]

I absolutely loved your Dimash videos. And your peaceful voice and kind personality add so much to your videos. Thank you for that. I am a huge Dimash fan, would you please do an analysis video on Dimash's Daybreak performance at Bastau Concert. I specifically ask for Bastau version because l think it is a masterpiece and would love to hear professional commentary on that. Thank you so much! 😊

[@baakojernigan7095]

I love Dimash, he's got so much personality and stage presence in his performances. He doesn't have to be doing anything and everyone is already dying lol. So charming.

[@roisincherie]

I have always been fascinated with the way Dimash handles his mic, and more especially after I've come to realise that everything he does onstage has a purpose. I'd never thought of him doing that mic waving purposely to ensure people know he isn't lipsyncing. I find it hugely entertaining that this amazingly talented young man has had to do that to prove it's him singing live because people just cannot believe what he does is possible.

[@kayrush1706]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ The first time I saw this performance I was a little put off by how “cocky” Dimash was acting...thank heavens I stuck with him and all his other performances because this is all part of his show...he changes characters based on his song choice...this song is fun and flirty and so was Dimash. I’ve been following him for almost a year now and have learned how truly humble he is. He does have confidence in his singing, rightfully so, but his dad surprised him by coming from Kazakhstan to see Dimash during this episode. Dimash did not know his dad was in the audience until after the song was over and Dimash was saying thank you...he glanced over to the opposite side of the audience and got a glimpse of his dad....this can be seen at the end of this video. Dimash gave his dad a bear thug and lifted him off his feet. The camera follows them heading back to the contestants lounge and Dimash asked his dad “Did I sing good.” Thank you for your reaction! I appreciate your insights and ability to explain things to us non singing viewers.

[@dibrentley7915]

Dimash has the power to make you cry when you dont know why your crying - he is just beautiful in every way.

I've been watching vocal coaches doing reactions for a while but I have to say that your videos are basically a lecture. I love it! You really know your craft. Congratulations on the work. I hope you react/lecture on Dimash more often. He's trully amazing. I suggest Agagio, Autum Strong, Hello and Confessa + Diva Dance. Cheers from Brazil!!! ✌️

[@babyturtle3167]

You said you couldn’t think of a better song to show off his vocals abilities, I’d suggest you react to (confessa+the diva dance),I think that’s where he really showed off 😜❤️

[@elika_]

Yes, Opera-2 is a pretty simple song for Dimash. He was just professionally and beautifully climbing a musical ladder. In his repertoire there are more complicated compositions in the vocal and artistic terms. I read that Opera-2 is the desire of the organizers. In China, this song is familiar to viewers.

[@Ema-fm5zy]

@@elika_ the point was Diva Dance is the most difficult song someone could choose

[@BiancaBilly1]

Yes, when I thought I've seen everything, he surprised me with Confessa + Diva Dance. It was over a year ago, and he even progresses more. His SOS in Slavic Bazaar 2018 is sooooo much better than SOS in The Singer. And his performance in Sochi, singing Sinful Passion...oh...brought me to tears. He keeps surprising me. Too bad we would never see how much better he can become in singing Opera 2 since Vitas prohibits him from singing this song again.

[@Xieda]

After hearing Dimash singing here, I was reminded of The Diva Dance and was interested to see if Dimash had covered it. He had, but it seemed he changed it in the trill section (aka, took out the dance and substituted a simpler pattern) which I thought was a shame considering how many different singers have given that vocal dance a go. I thought if anyone was going to do the designed-to-be-impossible-for-humans opera it could have been him. But then he kinda skates right over it. Gotta be honest, I was disappointed.

[@sohillsvettech1624]

[@CrippledMerc]

Holy shit. This made the hair on the back of my neck and arms stand up. This dude is just incredible. Props to him for getting up there and showing off what he's capable of. First he showed that he can sing the song "properly", then he showed how he can take over a song in his own way and still nail it.

[@hannanyman4287]

Pls react to Diva Dance, Daybreak, Autumn leaves , Unforgettable day and Hello by Dimash!! You won’t regret it!!

You're my favorite vocal analyst, you're very honest which isn't easy to find nowadays. I was wondering if you would you ever do a video on your favorite vocalists? I feel like that would be an awesome video to watch.

The man in the shadows they keep going to with the camera is Dimash's father who has come to surprise and support him. Dimash is confident when singing but it is hard to be in a country where you cannot understand a thing that anyone is saying. It just shows how close his family is to each other. When you have time, could you analyze The Show Must Go On. I cannot say why, but it is one of my favorites.

[@irmamedrano897]

Thank you for your reaction. As you said, this piece is the appropriate one to show off one's capabilities and Dimash nailed it again. Your videos are very educational and gives a wider idea of what Dimash means as a singer. Please react to Condessa + Diva Dance. You'll be amazed of what Dimash accomplished in that video. Also, a note regarding lip syncing. Most of the people have learned about Dimash through the Singer contest. If you have the chance to see videos of the same songs in other venues and performances, you'll notice that he (so far) never sings one song identically to the other one. He always improvises, or make a small arrangement, etc. I believe that that is a proof that he always does live performances. As you said, he's just awesome.
