Tbh, this perfomance was the one that caught my attention, and not only because of the way he sings (which already was quite impressive), but mostly by his acting there. He mesmerised me with his eyes, hands, way he commands the stage, absolute self-assurance. It is a real spectacle, and he played it geniously, you want to return again and again to watch him, not just to listen. "Opera 2" here is just name of the song)

[@balotelid3768]

Me too

[@gbwillson]

He was flirting with the crowd. If he was a 70's pop singer his face would have been on the cover of every teen magazine, and posters of him would have been plastered on the wall of every shrieking teeny bop girl in the world!

Unfortunately you'll never hear Dimash or anyone else but Vitas sing this song as after Dimash did this performance he was threatened by Vitas/his management that they would sue him if he ever sang it again

[@curlyken01]

Vitas is a joke, watch his videos on you tube, 90% of the time he is lip syncing.

[@KikiCubb]

Fantastic analysis. It is great that you are focusing on something different than Dimash's awesome voice. This specific song shows us how fabulous of an actor he is on stage. Dimash uses his entire body to convey his feelings and emotions and his use of his hands is totally remarkable. He often moves his fingers in harmony with the high notes he is about to reach. Thank you for your pointing about the value as an artist of not only be a singer on stage but a showman too. Very much appreciated.

[@user-no5ji4yl5g]

Обожаю эту песню в исполнении Димаша с его озорной улыбкой и кажущейся лёгкостью невероятно высоких нот - никто не сможет повторить это чудо!

[@user-no5ji4yl5g]

Lyudmila Mamyzina just I love this song performed by Dimash with his mischievous smile and seeming ease of incredibly high notes - no one can repeat this miracle!

[@user-no5ji4yl5g]

And Marc thanks a lot for such a sincere attitude to Dimash and for your highly professional analysis of his performance skills. Unfortunately, the author of this song Vitas did not allow Dimash to perform it ever, as he did it much better

[@cvjcvjgmail]

Reacting as a stage director is breath of fresh air in all reactions that we see in the internets. Yet, it is a vocal analysis too. I know now more about spetacle and stage than before of watching your video. Thank you from Brazil.

[@comment2099]

Very educating! Besides, Dr.Marc doesn't forget to give credit to other specialists. Total respect!

[@barbarasaracini1271]

FANTASTIC! I just love how you broke this performance down, and showed me, a layperson, techniques in this performance that I didn't realize on a conscious level. All I knew was that it was exciting and entertaining! Thanks for your analysis of exactly what's happening here. I really enjoyed being informed by you!

For sure, you will once again give us exclellent views. Thanking you in advance.

Dimash isn't opera, Dimash doesn't has music genre. Dimash is Dimash. Unique in this world. 🌸🌸💗💗

[@DrMarcReynolds]

I love this!!! One of the things I love about Dimash is that he is his own unique part of the music world and in my mind brings so many things together.

[@balotelid3768]

Agree

[@balotelid3768]

@@DrMarcReynolds l am glad that you are thinking that way because someone tried to convince me the other day that he is a pop singer

[@Rosannasfriend]

Vocally he switches back-and-forth between sounding like a classical and a pop singer. But I think it's pretty clear his music is usually pop. He's nowhere near an opera singer.

[@user-gm9il2fe7f]

Hi! Thank you for your reactions. You're probably the one that understand the most how to do reactions videos. You separate the reaction from the explanation and it's amazing because all the time when I see a reaction I find myself really frustrated when they stop the video every 10 seconds and it gets really slow for me, but the dynamic you are using it's awesome. I also wanted to thank you for the dedication, I can see all the effort you put into teaching and editing the video to be educative. Thank you, keep up!! 👍

[@Santti.G]

I always found his eyes looking at cam or audience very confident but never in that way, that's cool. It's fun to watch him stand there on stage with so many moves/poses to help him gets high notes or just for the sake of spectacle, it's so entertaining. At the end, looked like it was a fun conection with the audience on how high he can go

[@sp72929]

He always puts his whole body into his performances always matching the particular mood not only singing but “acting” the feeling and words. The “big” movements and gestures are definitely trained and becoming a second nature from his opera background. The small movements - especially his hands, fingers always seem to “play” the music along - I think its a involuntary thing for him to visualize what he is singing - and yes it’s absolutely captivating to watch someone who is so immersed into his art. In his new song Ascolta la voice/Know his fingers play along the whole time during the amazing melismas his voice is creating.

[@InfoArtistJK]

I came up with my solution after I picked up my jaw from the ground when I discovered Dimash about six months ago. That is I say he sings rock, pop, operatic, Kazakh folk songs and hybrid style.

[@user-pv7pk5nh3k]

He also raps , a bit of R&b riffs and runs and classical ? I stand corrected 😊

[@davidbangtson3109]

What I love about this performance is how much fun he is absolutely having and sharing it with his audience. Story is totally secondary here, but sharing the experience with his audience is his goal.

[@debbienockels7255]

David Bangtson - I agree! I love the playful and even impish way he directs his eyes and his smiles, although actually if you look at the lyrics, this song has a pretty somber subject, so in that regard both his performance and the one of Vitas that I’ve watched don’t fit in with the lyrics.

[@neoplan6116]

Nice analyse from a other point of view to Dimash. Interesting to get pointed out on the reasons WHY Dimash has this amazing, entertaining, lovable stage awareness and present and his "tools" to produce it. Again a superb one, you deserve much more subscribers!

[@reyhankesgin3240]

[@hamitokia]

Oh my! You mentioned Dimash performing late autumn! You've seen it??!! I want to see your analysis of it!

[@norhakimahsani]

OMG. What an insightful analysis. You have pointed out a lot of things we thought were normal. I did notice his eyes in this performance, and I thought he was just playing the audience. When you demonstrated your eyes moving without them being purposeful were really robotic... I guess his eyes really did make important role of his awesome showmanship... I have no problem with people reacting with pause in between... I do get annoyed if they paused during the best part... Lol... But I really love your format. I would really like to hear what you thought of his latest performance "Love is like a dream"... I think he uses the Aural Spectacle you talked about... 🤔 Can't wait for your next video. 😊😊😊

Thank you so much, Opera2 is very very beautiful song🌷🌷 one of the many favorite of Dimash's voice, beautiful

[@Just_KangB]

finally, the explanation i could mostly understand 😅. great2 explanation

[@mcan9074]

I can't answer your question what opera is but I totally enjoy your content!

[@user-rk4sb5px9c]

Dr. Reynolds, thank you once again for thoughtful analysis! Let me see... I have always felt that "Opera 2" is just a random name for this composition. There is nothing in music or lyrics to support it. Let me explain. What is there in the text? Let's see. "My house is ready, but I stay there alone. The door closes behind me, Autumn wind is knocking in the window, crying over me yet again. Rainstorm at night, and fog in the morning, the Sun is not hot anymore. Ancient gods are coming. Let them all gather here!". And than the refrain. The first half of second verse has the same lyrics, the second part runs like that: "That is Fate, and I cannot ask Fate for anything. I just know that the winds will howl and cry after I am gone." Even for a Russian native speaker there is no coherent message. I would have to insert my own message in that bottle to make sense out of it. The music, if anything, is closer to klezmer or cabaret music of pre-war period, rather than to any kind of classics, opera or no. It would totally fit into Goran Bregovic or Emir Kusturica soundtrack to some movie. But opera? Sorry, no! :-) Even if I tried really hard to stretch the term.

[@balotelid3768]

You are right.... l understand some russian words and it didnt make any sense to me.

[@user-pv7pk5nh3k]

I wonder what Vitas was thinking??when we was writing this song ?

[@user-rk4sb5px9c]

@@balotelid3768, totally agree! The first two lines actually run like that: "My house is completed, but I am alone here. The door slammed behind me..." I have seen a video with Vitas where there is a heartbreak and a girl who had left. She is gone, there is just wind and rain etc. He shouts, breaking glass all around. The rest of the song, however, does not support any of that. It is more like the hero is "knocking on the Heaven's door". Talking to the world around him. It is dark, full of screeches, rain, thunder, inhabited by Russian pagan gods. He invites them all to come in. Than he thinks how the winds will howl after he is gone. But... but... if that were the case, than accompanying music is all wrong! The music makes the hero a bit coquettish. Instead of Jim Morisson playing tambourine and dancing like a shaman, there is a guy in a suit with bow tie entertaining public in cabaret. Key word - "entertainment", as Dr. Reynolds had rightly pointed out. Dimash approaches the song from this angle, turning it into a showcase. Correct!

[@user-rk4sb5px9c]

[@FawziaTung]

👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 Thank you!! Brilliant expose on opera as a spectacle, and of this Dimash performance of Opera 2 in particular! You ask what opera means to me? Since my childhood, I’ve been fascinated by operas and the entire spectacle they offer of the spectrum of human emotions and behaviors. Of course I wanted to become an opera singer, and of course I never did. 😂😂 I did study classical singing and did join choirs and directed a number of children’s choirs as well as a sideline ( I became a journalist, psychiatrist and educator instead). Still that live of opera has remained and I marvel at how Dimash can incorporate some of its elements into his performances a drop at a time!!! You are right in that many people think of opera as a singing technique... it’s so much more than that!

[@aliciadiacono3920]

FROM.ARGENTINA SOUTH AMÉRICA THANKS TO REACTION TO DIMASH!!I!!I LOVE HIS VOICE IS AMAZING!!I WAIT MORE REACTION OF MY IDOL!!THANKS SIR!!

[@valyatodorova5511]

Thanks for that reaction! I really appreciate your profound analysis of the feelings that are causing, every sound and every word sung by Dimash. He really sings with all his body. He injects the emotion into the audience with his incredible talent to recreate the text and the melody into a body dance.There are emotional performances, technically perfect performances and entertaining performances. He combine all three of them and it makes it as powerful as a nuclear bomb.

[@sandraard4306]

Loved your reaction and explanation of opera and the effect that Dimash evokes with his eyes and body language . You put it into words for me and I just love Dimash reactions because he is so unique ...most of us do not have words to describe his abilities. So this was excellent and very helpful , thank you !

[@igat1983]

Thank you very much for honest reaction, great analysis of the whole Dimash performance, and for educational part. I haven't noticed many things that you have talked about, even though I have seen this spectacle multiple time. I haven't noticed the lights, though I felt the atmosphere. I didn't know about the meaning of eye movement, but I was caught by them. I think Dimash's great artistry lays somewhere between perfectly timed and prepared acting, feeling and understanding what he is singing in each phrase (or even word), meaning he is filtering each song through his heart and mind. Partially it may be because some of those things are just natural for him. I think he learnt most of his body movement, but then there are certain moves that are unique to him. I also believe that his eye movements are natural, not learnt. I love what you have said in the end, that this is only the icing. I believe his high notes are also the icing - the best I have ever heard, but still the icing. The depth is what keeps me (and probably many others) coming back. I would love to see/hear your point of view on his last performances and songs: Mademoiselle Hyde, Love Like a Dream, and Lay Down.

[@dianeschmidt409]

I really enjoyed his performance. I don’t need to know why but you are interesting.

[@evagiacomelli5027]

[@lynnemartin2291]

This performance shows his dramatic skills to entertain - then add that voice!! Wow. Love your reaction. Dimash can entertain just when he steps on the stage! I learned so much from your video. Thank you.

[@maykachaphan6909]

I agree it all comes together to make the song any song he sings flow. This song is pure fun. It probably isn’t my favourite song, but I love the fact he obviously is having fun singing it. The playfulness is just very enjoyable. I also like seeing him like a mischievous kid. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with us. 😊. Opera 2 is a Vitas song. I happen to love opera. I have been to a few in NYC. I grew up though on classical music and have an undeniable enjoyment of it. I have been privileged to see many broadway shows, and music events at places like Carnegie Hall. My mother though felt being well rounded in all things was part of life. I have to say I certainly agreed with her. 😊

Loved your reaction! Greetings from Florida.

[@colleenverdon6315]

I agree with everything people have said below. That said, the one thing that makes Dimash really exceptional is who is actually is. If you haven't viewed Dimash being interviewed, you should. He is a most unlikely super star. He is quiet, sweet, humble, philosophical, and deeply spiritual. He has an intense love for his family and country. Part of one interview shows Dimash speaking as a 9 year old child. The depth and maturity of his thinking is truly mind blowing. Its more than just a high IQ, (and I'm certain it is VERY high) not many nine year old children quote poetry and reference books written by great philosophers. I think Dimash is a very old soul. He really wants to change the world, and I think he will.

[@maccafan985]

[@MrLarossi]

This series of videos aren’t reactions, but they are courses with a case study ( example)

[@i.t.t.]

your videos are such a highlight in my life right now. you keep upping your game… like dimash (-: i was so happy to see that you’d reacted to opera 2 not just bc i’d mentioned it in a comment before, his naughty and playful eyes, teasing us with what he had planned out for us, but also because you took it another level and taught me about this concept i’d never heard of or considered before. i’m going to be looking for that in ever performance from now on. i *love* opera and i’m finding myself more and attracted to it w/time and i realise listening to you that i’d associated it mostly with the voice and the setting, the costumes, the extravagant nature were just the dressing/flowering, to elevate it, even if it’d always felt like gilding the lily to me. but i have found myself speaking more of classically trained voices/classical singing vs referring to this type of expression as opera. i see a parallel with what you say about the visual aspect meant to catch our attention and direct it to the most important part which is the underlying art. and in a way that is how i feel about dimash’s performances. that they’re so varied and unpredictable is what makes him so enticing and keeps us coming back for more. if there is one element that is most consistent in his performances, however, it’s probably that he often starts his songs in a slow and *gentle* (edited) manner but the way it builds up and ends in the explosive manner is so similar to the passionate lovemaking with a new or favourite lover that we can’t help feel all shook up by the end. i hadn’t thought of this particular performance as opera but rather one in which dimash gets to show off his classical training. the diva dance of episode 12 may be more of that than opera 2. i didn’t know the song before nor had i seen vitas (who had composed it, i think) performing it but i couldn’t help notice the way they both present it in that cocky and self assured way (esp in this reaction video that shows them side by side kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpexZ42BZpyprrc). i’ve read that vitas might not have performed it live like dimash and sth about how it all fell apart when it was revealed he was lip-synching it. which might explain why dimash is no longer allowed to sing it but that’s a side note. what i liked most about this performance when i first watched it was the showmanship rather than the song itself, although i’ve come to like the song with time. later, the ending became even more moving when dimash finds out that his dad (who had been secretly flown in) had been in the audience this whole time. for me the emotional reaction from both and that super long bear hug that they repeat 2 more times backstage kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpexZ42BZpyprrc has added a lot more to the experience, especially as dimash was reportedly struggling with homesickness and finding it difficult to deal with being away from him family and land for the first time. how’s that for a spectacle (-: i just can’t wait for your next videos, esp looking at the links between the different genres of music and why i (and countless others) mostly view music as divided into 2 main categories: good music and the other kind. i still hope you’ll review dimash and sundet baygojin/baygozhin performing facebook.com/watch/?v=531156847270793 bc that one was, to me, opera. it’s one of the only ones i’ve found so far along with this one with zarina altynbayeva (also an opera singer) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnSmmYChbrScars that is more of a mish-mash really. what i wouldn’t give to watch dimash perform a whole opera some day tho… (sorry for this long-ass comment again. you get me all fired up)

You're certainly a unique addition to the vast number of reactors, even vocal coaches. I see now why Sam Johnson is such a great analyser ;). Your own expression during watching is just pure and sincere, absolutely nothing fake or added (true for most, not all, vocal coaches I see). And of course the expertise you are sharing here is unsurpassed. Superb to see an absolute expert share on a mainstream channel such depth and detail. Valuable and refreshing amidst all nonsense here. Thank you.

Your reaction on Dimash's performance is as always spot on, thanks for that Dr. Reynolds. A question for you. Do you think that Dimash could sing Heavy Metal/Hard Rock? I would like to hear him singing an Iron Maiden or an AC/DC song. Then he would have served all genres, it would be an incredible thing.

Dimash once quoted the saying "Jack of all trades master of none" during an interview when something similar to your question was asked of him like singing other genre. So I would take from his answer that he can't do them all. But anyway who cares since Dimash is a master of what he is currently doing and what his audience is loving.

@@chijavier268 Thanks for the info! Clearly, what he sings he sings perfectly and we all love him for that. I think he could sing Heavy Metal, because of his high pitch and powerful mixed voice.

@@chijavier268 l think he was asked if he will be an actor...not about genre in music.

@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl I think he can too, some of his belts are hard rock/metal style. But if he ever does, it would be infused with classical voice, and I think that would be weirdly amazing! Sadly, I don't think he would though, I've read in an interview that he doesn't even like rock, except for a bit of Queen.

[@chijavier268]

Baloteli D No that was a question to him about being a tv or film actor during an interview 2 days ago and Dimash's response was he doesn't know about this or no plan for this. What I was talking about was an interview he did a long time ago, can't even remember if it was even before Singer or after Singer 2017 interview as he has done thousands of interviews in his life so far.
