Dimash - Screaming - New Zealand Vocal Coach Reaction and Analysis 

Some people used to say he wasn’t singing live so often he actually started doing stuff like wagging the mic around in front of his face while singing so the audience could here the mic movement affect his voice and thus prove he was singing live. Occasionally a televised venue may require prerecorded vocals but he sings live the vast majority of the time. Btw, you need to hear Stranger, his new song. It’s insane.

Exactly what show and singing do you claim is not live.?

Dears, the one performance she saw had prerecorded segments, Passione at 2019 New Wave. Even so Dimash was singing live. If you watch him very out of breath at the end talking to the audience. He was still catching his breath from that long belt. Because the beginning started as a precording due to the added sound effects, and the segment where that lady lip syncs poorly, plus the part where the little girl sings is also prerecorded, a lot of people think Dimash is lip syncing. They have not seen his concert performances where he plays those parts on a screen behind hin so you can tell which parts are a recording and when he sings on stage. It's also too bad that a lot of Dears agree publicly with these reactioners making the same wrong assumptions.

Huh? Not singing live at concerts? Really? His concerts are on his RU-vid Channel. Have you watched them?

Yes, as every singer does he also sings for pre-recorded sometimes. But most of the time he sings live and that doesn't make a big difference either way for listeners. And saying him not singing live at concerts is a big disrespect for his effort if you actually do research. There are full live concerts of his on RU-vid, check them out first. Dimash's "Bastau solo concert" was one of the best live performances I have ever seen. Plz watch or react to it. Plz don't tell me that wasn't live.

What did she say? Did I understand her correctly? Doesn't he sing live at the concert? When something cannot be explained, it is usually downplayed. Pity. So many are used to opening the mouths of American performers, they can't believe that someone can sing at their own concert

Not singing live? yes, not a new thing for many singers.many other singers lip sync, does not mean Dimash is being claimed and generalized ! If you watch his training vocal and many more, I think as a vocal coach, you should know it right away. I get it! But I can totally hear his breath when he sings at some phrases. It's weird to me as you claimed him not singing live at his CONCERTS! if you ever watch his concert? not only his concert but many other stages, he sings live all the time.

There is another ixtremely impressive performance where he is singing live for sure: Unforgettable Day at the Gakku music festival.

I was at that concert. It was 2019 in Kremlin, Moscow. Amazing concert! He did sing for about 2,5 hours and it both felt like an eternity and as if it was barely five minutes. (Also, have to say that the Kremlin is an astounding concert hall with unbelievable acoustic and if Dimash ever holds another concert there it will probably be sold out in seconds.)

This looks like from one of his concerts- he usually did screaming last, so he’d probably been singing live for 3hrs at this point.

Ive seen other voice coaches that can believe and after going to his live concerts and following his learnix and tongue retract their words. His shows are not prerecorded. Some coaches can't accept that they really know nothing.

I don’t think you are right about him singing pre recorded more than live. It is the other way around his live performances are more than the prerecorded

If you watch one of his solo concerts (he has several on his RU-vid channel) which last 2-3 hours, you can clearly see the he's singing live all the concert. He switches between "easy"/"difficult" and doing excessive physical training in order to be able to do it. Some TV shows may require pre recorded performance but clearly Dimash doesn't need it unlike some other artists who unfortunately sound pretty bad live.

Reaction Dimash Ave Maria

Hi thanks for your Reaction to Dimash. But im really curious what have you seen that isnt live. Im a little irritated. Anyway, you all have a great day

I understand , it is not easy to comprehend how a person can be this talented. But please , as we respect you , you should respect the artist too and not go around saying he mostly sings pre recorded songs.

Dimash has dedicated 20 years in learning and perfecting his craft. He would not waste his time and talent by not performing live. His Acapellas are something to learn from. But thank you for watching his performance.

I have been to a consert with him ...and I was near him . I can promise he sing live . It is only when he is not aloud to sing live ,but you can see the diffrens right away .If you listen to more of him you will see for yourself.

Please please check out his latest songs Stranger, Ave Maria and Fly Away - mindblowing! I'm subscribing and waiting for more :) Greetings from Norway!

You are completely wrong! ALL of his concerts are live. The only thing that are from time to time for parts prerecorded are background chorus and some instrumental tracks. Even Olimpico in a full loaded Stadion was 100% live. In the beginning of his career some songs on Russian TV were preceded, not for his own wish, but it is a ethernal rule that all artists shows on Russian TV are preceded. Only the influence of a well known Russian Media Mogul made them an exception for Dimash Yes he is so good that you can imagine that is purely live - but you can make yourself a testimony on his Prague concert in Spring next year 😜

это просто смешно. В сети полно видео, очень качественных, fancam. В том числе и записи полных концертов. Это и есть потрясающее удовольствие - сравнивать разные исполнения одной песни, потому что Димаш поёт вживую и никогда не повторяется. Песни всегда различаются по характеру и окраске. Тем более интересно наблюдать за его взаимодействием с музыкантами, потому что он всегда импровизирует. Поклонники только что его рот изнутри не сняли. Успели обсудить степень красноты гортани (на некоторых концертах он пел нездоровым), вибрацию языка и глубину вдоха. Литры пота не считали, их видно.и без сильного приближения. Но вот приятный, внушающий уважение эксперт утверждает, что Димаш поёт в записи. Здесь много людей, бывших на его концертах и мы точно знаем, что это неправда. Если лжёт эксперт, как ему доверять? А если вы просто видели 2-3 песни и делаете столь обязывающие выводы, тогда вы голословны, и отсюда - некомпетентны. Один из широко известных случаев подмены - никак не синхронизации! - на концерте Димаш исполнял ВЖИВУЮ песню " Know", как вокализ. Есть вариант этой песни со словами - авторства известного российского поэта, магната, миллиардера, владельца многих медиаплатформ и музыкальных каналов Михаила Гуцериева. В теле-версии режиссёры полностью заменили вокализ на студийную запись со словами. Возможно, из раболепия перед автором. Димаша, конечно, не спрашивали. Ни о какой синхронизации речь не шла, это вообще подлог. Истинная версия записана fancam, есть множество этих записей. Если вы видели подобные версии, не выдавайте это за истину - это означает, что Димаша вы не слушали, разве что пару песен.

Dimash is a professional and consistent singer, he is paid handsomely to sing, I don't think anyone will pay if he lip syncs and maestro igor doesn't want to work with lip sync singers

So many vocal coaches don't know what they talk about.

Dimash is the best singer in the WORLD and there are no doubts about that, his voice is a prodigy of nature and a genetic marvel since his parents are two glories of singing from Kazakhstan since he was 5 years old, he sings publicly and has more than twenty years of lyrical training and graduated from the university of music, he is a singer, composer, arranger and multi instrumentalist, he plays more than seven musical instruments and sings in more than Ten(10) languages, he is also a great performer and a great artist who lives and feels music He is not an imitator of voices , Dimash has his own style and is one of the forerunners of the "POPera" he also has a very pleasant, HUMBLE and simple personality, easy access, which makes it very easy to follow, he always travels with His family and friends is a very educated person and an example to follow, he has become known for his musical talent not for getting into trouble or scandals, It has a very wide vocal range of approximately 7 octaves ,he is a singer with a wide vocal range very versatile is Baritone, TENOR , Soprano, counter TENOR, mezasoprano, everything at the same time is how to have 5 singers in one, it has a male and female voice, also many resources such as vibrato, "melismas", falsetto, Staccato,whistle tone, reaching a( D8 )live "Outside of Piano"at the concert of Gakku in an unforgettable day, at his young age he continues to improve and grow musically to perfection, he has a good physical presence he measures 191 cm or 6 "3", he is very famous and recognized in Asia and now he is becoming known In Europe and America, ALL their songs are spectacular, it always goes from low to high, soft to spectacular at the end, in my almost half a century of life I never heard so much quality and it is the hope of continuity of the classical genre because all the old tenors have already Almost all of them died and Dimash can sing like them but none of them can sing like Dimash, being a Man he sings better than any Tenor and his female voice is superior to that of any average Soprano, greetings and a hug from Venezuela🇻🇪, "Dears" Forever ❤️👍🏻 Sorry for copying and pasting my informative comment in ALL the Video reactions to Dimash what I see but I do it with the intention of sharing information about him and what I think that in the music industry there are many artists who have been successful and have no talent and are bad people and they do not set a good example for the youth, Dimash and his music deserve to triumph in America, Europe and the whole WORLD, do you want to have already read my comment please come by without problem there is always someone who for the first time knows this information and I won't get tired of sharing it with all my friends"Dear" around the world, thanks for reading and for supporting Dimash 🙏🏻S.O.S.

I discussed this with his coach and this applies to all artists, not only Dimash. 1) Live TV shows are mostly prerecorded for obvious reasons. 2) Concerts - a few few songs will be pre-recorded to give the artist a breather (this also goes for shorter concerts deoending on how taxing it is) . Definitely untrue to say he sings more prerecorded than live.

Wow he is really good.

LOL, You can find numerous concerts, right here on RU-vid.

I love your reactions videos Please react to dimash new songs Stranger and Ave maria

Reacciona a Dimash - STRANGER New Wave 2021..Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷 🇦🇷 🇦🇷 🇦🇷

Hi Zoe. I love your reactions. Can you react Dimash new song called STRANGER ( New Wave 2021 )???? Prepare to be shocked!!!!!! Thank you.

Love your hair btw! Dimash is probably the best live singer out there, seriously. I’m speaking as someone who knows a fair amount of some of the best singers in the last few decades, some of them personally. 👉Have u seen Daybreak from his Bastau concert? Just incredible. I haven’t seen this version of screaming (the director’s jump cuts all the time not my favorite for studying his singing). I think it’s a catchy pop song. I definitely do not know what “so many shows prerecorded” that u are referring to…? Genuinely asking. his concerts are totally live, there’s thousands of fan cams that prove this. His newest release Ave Maria is very much live & life changing. Not the Ave Maria most people know (there are actually over 40 compositions & Igor Krutoy composed a simple variation for Dimash). I really like u & your reactions, always look to see if you’ve done more Dimash. But your view of him is a bit perplexing :) His newest live of Be With Me from Slavic Bazaar in my opinion is a mix of live & prerecorded, which disappoints me bc I think it was the venue & not his ability, also think it lends credence to ppl thinking he does it all the time when he doesn’t. He literally does less of that than any singer I’ve seen. 99.9% of the time it’s completely live & pretty damn perfect. Ok so doubt you’re still reading but as I said Daybreak Bastau is soooo good. Ave Maria. But I also recommended u long ago see Autumn Strong from Arnau (in a striking red suit)- it’s not the version most react to. I love it especially bc of the close camera work to really watch him sing, & his masterful choices along with his mic work at the end 🤯

Clearly you don't know much about Dimash if you say that most of his shows are pre-recorded. One should be more careful with certain statements unless you have evidence to support them.

This concert is in Moscow in 22/3/19 and this is 1- first song and have another concert in 23/3/19 duration is 2:h sing! And is give 2 amazing concert! Continue reaction and analysis of the world of Dimash! Thanks from Portugal

when the internet is full with him singing acapella , even singing with the legend ANDREA BOCCELI casual , is hard take this comment , if you want to understand something , you should react to songs from the ,,Singer,, the big chinesse show ( where was Jessie J. singing also , and you should see her reaction when he sings), or from ,,Bastau,, concert All by myself, Diva Dance etc.

Please react to Dimash "Stranger" and yes it is live!! Amazing! .

👉 This mainstream- song was written for Dimash to make him better known in the English-speaking world. His first English official MV - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gFrQXcHSp2c.html) was previously released on May 24, 2018 on his 24th birthday. In the MV he plays the piano, drums and sings his own backup. Later for the stage the song was rearranged. You should definitely try it: Screaming, "Idol Hits" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UBgueGdgh4g.html • Behind the scenes "Screaming" MV - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jfFZJPSr96g.html • Behind the scenes “Idol Hits” - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vfXW4szLZPM.html This song is on his first album 'ID'. The album went platinum in 37 seconds, 3 times platinum in 47 minutes and 5 times platinum on the first day in China (album platinum: 200,000 units, single platinum: 400,000 units). 🌼🇩🇪

Stranger - 19.2 seconds and greatness for the ages!

Stranger next please ! The new song thanks

Your opinion is moot when you start saying Dimash's concerts are not all live.

Hello, I like the reactions to Dimash, for many reasons, and with all respect for your profession, Dimash always sings live, he has many concerts where you can appreciate him. Although some have a more "formal" presentation, it is due to the type of public or place where he appears. It is not the same for Dimash to sing before the Russians, who have a very particular way, even in their interaction with him, than to sing in China where his audience is more "noisy, participative, etc" so to speak, in some way.

From my understanding Dimash sings live most of the time. Where did you get that he prerecords most of his concerts? because that is simply not correct.

About time you go watch his concert. Dubai, Prague or Dusseldorf. Go!

Great Analysis. I liked it. Dimash is just Amazing!! Thanks

Soy de Costa Rica pura vida amo a dimash el es el mejor del mundo 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷

As near as I can sort out this is what is rap is: Old or young, near and far, blood relatives, friends! That is what I honestly say: All modern people! I want to give you a rare medal, a song I praise you for. It doesn't matter if I know you or not. My respect, honor and greetings to the elderly and the young. Those who preserve, honor and celebrate their mother tongue and those who are renaissance people.

I hope he will continue to sing pop songs like this

there are few version of this song.. you should check it out!! would like to see you react to few versions of each of his songs in one reaction each post! Anyway loves your voice even you are speaking

Amazing !!!!! In these last weeks we have known three new songs from Dimash !!! All magnificent !!!

Check Dimash - Unforgettable Day Gakku version, Dimash - Stranger, Dimash - Daybreak it's all Live performance and all of them was an epic performance by him.. Also you can clearly see that performance is live without lipsyncing

Just amazing 💜💝💖❤️💗

Thanks frm Kazakhstan!

It is better to do not spread rumours, like the one about Dimash lipsyncing. Unless we have evidence.

I have recently heard about learning "phono-mimicry". Apparently many expert singers all learn to to phono-mimic, to a point where no one can tell the difference just by looking at the throat. If he comes to Canada some day, I 100% hope it's a shorter concert where everything is truly live! (Dimash's breath control is tremendous, but Igor Krutoy songs require extreme breath control even on a Dimash scale, and I think it's why most of those songs end up being playback. They actually require quite bit of modification to be able to be sung live. Krutoy's compositions are delectable, but of an extreme level of difficulty) His rapping skill is totally awesome, and if you look at his rap lyrics, you will find they look nothing like rapper speak!!! He talks about love of family and love of land, so different, but rap sound is impeccable! The "Qu"s and "r"s are quite similar to the way we speak French in Quebec, and it rap sounds like Québécois rap too! Even his pop songs include a large part of his skill set. And you even got to hear his little Picachu shout out to the audience!

From what I have read it is mainly Russian shows that pre record. His concerts I don't think I have viewed maybe a few who say he doesn't sing live. Maybe you need to view the fan cam versions that show he is singing live.

Kia Ora Zoe loving the plaid reminds me of Waikato Farmers Sunday best lol keep up the tumeke Mahi awesome reaction from your Aotearoa Dears.

I don't know why you say you don't play live, you reacted to 4 Dimash songs ... SOS and Opera 2 were 100% live because they were sung by a singer in China which was a contest where only live is played. At mademoiselle Hyde it was live and at sinful passion I had the honor and pleasure of being at that concert and I guarantee you that it was 100% live. He did a lot of things in that concert through which he proved that his voice is live so I can't agree with you at all. But I hope that one day you will have the desire to participate in a Dimash concert and you will realize then that the live version of Dimash beats the recording

When he lipsync you would know because it is so obvious but when he didn’t lipsync some people would still think he lipsync just because he sounds too perfect. I don’t understand why he must make a mistake first to prove he sings live. Is imperfection an indicator of live singing? Why can’t he sings perfectly and still not being accused as fraud? Edit: I was in both his Bastau and Arnau concerts so I can attest that he never once lipsync. Especially Bastau, every songs were perfectly sung and he was often out of breath at the end with sweat down pouring like a marathon athlete just from singing.

Dimash the best❤❤❤

Thanks frm Kazakhstan

Dimash has around 100 performances on his channel, and I’ll bet 90% are live except during Covid. Please explore further! His latest 3 releases are STRANGER (amazing!); AVE MARIA (heavenly!); and FLY AWAY (very MJ)

Have you heard and seen the fancam of Dimash singing Sinful Passion on his 22/03 Moscow concert yet? The fancam is by Dimash48. It's wonderful.

Скриминг хорошая песня👍

Димаш всегда поет в живую!!!!!!😳

Лучше его новая версия этой песни. Dimash - screaming 2021 version

Excelente reacción y análisis más de Dimash Kudaibergen

Please check his new 3 songs that Dimash posted in his channel: Stranger, Ave Maria and Fly Away.

Hey girl. It takes a long time since you react Dimash. Missing you.🇧🇷

hey, Zoe you have to watch two songs from Dimash Ave Maria and Across Endless Dimensions and tell us what you think. kai ora kotou Katou.

Dimash el mejor cantante del mundo saludos desde mexico🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

I saw him in one interview say that he couldn't be bothered lip syncing as it was too much trouble. I also read that some of the Russian TV channels actually 'overplay' his live performance just in case he slips up on some of his really difficult songs. So, while he is actually singing them live they have overlaid a recorded version 'just to be on the safe side lol! (Obviously they still don't know him very well!!) I've read the comments & can't watch your reaction because I will get too annoyed so will skip this one, sorry.

Has anyone claimed, in fact, that voice doesn’t belong to him but someone else and Dimash just mimes just like Milli Vanilli , yet? 🧐 Among hundreds of songs he’s sung so far, a few are prerecorded at some occasions. So what? Is it a big deal? As if no other world famous singers do it. ( We all know he can sing them live, too.) I’m really sick of these hostile efforts to discredit Dimash! 😡 Just mind your own business!

Rahmet!

Wow! 😳 This reaction is so disappointing and in my opinion appears a bit disparaging towards Dimash. I just can’t believe how one can make assumptions without proof while never having attending any of his concerts. So, should we all presume now, that all artists that we listen that we’ve attended their concerts aren’t singing live? That may be the case for sure for the majority but not necessarily Dimash in my opinion. Have you thought or stated that towards others that you’ve reacted to? Or is this intended towards Dimash in particular? I’m very curious how you feel about others that we listen to, and that we assume are witnessing them singing live?🧐

Умная такая... А клип? Там и диарс и голоса хватает, и звуков для души))

Look at his earlier performances on the Russian, Kazakh, Belarusian stage, where the contact with the audience is in their native language. These Chinese performances are perceived differently. Not the same atmosphere. It is advisable to watch Dimash's performance accompanied by composer Igor Krutoy. This is a cosmic connection between a singer and a composer. Particularly interesting is the performance accompanied by world stars Lara Fabian and Aida Garifullina (top 5 world sopranos, prima of the Vienna Opera House).

😀👍👍👍👌👌👌👋👋👋👏👏👏👏. Казахстан.

Can you pleas react to “Dum” by Omar Rudberg.It’s on of my favourite songs and his voice is so great.I would really appreciate it

Listen news song Ave Maria, Dimash

Dimash not sing live at concerts, are gou a real vocal coach????? Where is your proof?? You are questioning a mans ability to sing live. But fail miserably to prove it, makes me ashamed to be a kiwi.

Боже мой, ну каким образом дама делает выводы о том, что он поёт когда-либо не вживую ,да ещё и !!!!! в большинстве своих шоу. Посмотрев 3 записи песен? Невольно вспомнились нелицеприятные рассказы знакомых, которые жили некоторое время в Новой Зеландии, о женщинах этой замечательной страны. Видимо, и правда - это не просто зависть к чужому таланту, это вообще нелюбовь к мужчинам.

Hey, this was my first time reacting to your channel. I absolutely loved this. I would love it if you could react to House Of Wolves by Bring Me The Horizon. That song is crazy!!!! Thanks for the video.

I just want to say, I love that you keep it real, and you should never change. Many Dimash fans believe that he never lip syncs and never want to be proven wrong lol. Dimash is still my favorite singer but he’s not perfect, no one is. We all make mistakes, we all need breaks and Dimash sometimes can’t control if he lip syncs or not

I agree Dimash doesnt sing live(not in his concerts! I dont know where that came from!??) all the time just like everyother singer thru history now & on the past. But all of his famous masterpieces had been sang live for sure. Just bc their sound quality & engeneering are almost perfect dont mean they are not live. Watch his newest prfrmnc 'Ave maia' to wittness & maybe finaly be sure what he actualy is able to do. By the way if you reacted to 'screaming idol hit' which was 100% live, you would have seen a better quality of this songs live prfrmc.

Es mejor la versión del vídeo oficial.😶 Si no sabes en donde diablos está .pos anda búscala en el canal de el aya está las dos versiones .la del vídeo oficial y la otra que hizo en vivo.🖤

Димаш әнді таза айтатыны сонша мына қыз ажыратада алмай отырма жанды дауысты. Тек фонограммамен ән айтып шоу жасап жүрген топтыда көріп жүрміз , неге ол топтыңда миллиондаған фанаттары бар фонограммамен айтсада. Ал Димаш тек жанды дауыста өте қиын әндерді айтады!

You are full of assumption. You should not generalize. It is OK if you believe that a singer sing lip sync at that moment then said it, but do not generalize. Some vocal coach even do not know about back track vocal mixing with live vocal. They need learn basic sound engineering and practice to improve their listening.

Bist du schon auf einem Konzert von Dimash gewesen? Im April gibt es ein in Düsseldorf. Die Tickets sind erschwinglich. Besuch sein Konzert, dann kannst du dir ein Urteil erlauben. Dimash als Aushängeschild für deine Gesangstunde zu missbrauchen finde ich nicht richtig. Du glaubtest angekommen zu sein! Ich finde, das hat nicht so ganz geklappt. Es ist nur meine Meinung. Alles Gute für die Zukunft.

I´m really with you on this one. It´s so easy to hear when Dimash lip sings. Lately he also has some heavily studio produced schmaltz productions like his Ave Maria, artistically it's a joke fitting the uneducated. The problem for what I call High notes singers is they become a sort of circus acts like also Marcelito Pomoy. And if you know about Vitas it's very obvious Dimash to a great extent parroted on Vitas mannerism. Dimash was launched as a polished remake of Vitas but arrogantly Dimash never mentioned Vitas as his inspiration but he didn't hesitate to sing one of Vitas great compositions without his permission and not even an excuse. Dimash undoubtly has a great range and smooth transition, there are some live videos on party level where you can see his Adam apple stretching out to reach the high notes, but as I said it's more of a circus act whenever he throw that in compositions where they do no belong. And it's very taxing for the voice and difficult hit exactly, so, yes, to be safe he started lip sing them instead. But that is what he will go to history as, the guy with the high notes and smooth transitions, not a s a great artist.

I love dimash but this wasn’t my favorite performance.

Most of his song are pre-recorded?😄😆 I even not going to prove because this type of people all are same and I tired of them. You never ever at his concert, unable to find which is live or not.🙂 Boring reaction 🥱

There are so many deluded fans. I am glad that you say it how it is. It doesn't diminish his insane talent, but if you look at a lot of the videos impartially, its obvious that they are lip-synced. Why do people try and convince themselves (and others) that it doesn't happen.

Oh Dears! Zoe is quite right in pointing out that some of the most popular of Dimash's performances on RU-vid are lip-synched. Love is like a dream, and Your love (both from the Kremlin, probably not coincidentally) are two examples that spring to mind, which are vocally and sonically *identical* to 'performances' given elsewhere. And you can hear it - the sound is too compressed, and lacking in the sonic artefacts that are a part of any live performance - such as here. I would say on that basis that I doubt any of the performances he has just given at Sochi featured a live vocal. Three of these were premières of new songs, and the whole event is built around a singing competition. He has not had a demanding performance schedule of late, so it seems unlikely that he would need to be protecting his voice. So it seems strange and perplexing that he should be miming these performances. Is it at the behest of the TV companies? Russia seems to have a conspicuous and systemic problem with authentic performances in sport at the moment, but does this extend to the arts as well? If so, it's very Putin-esque, an obsessive determination to appear strong and invulnerable, allied with an almost pathological tendency to lie nakedly and without shame (as did Trump, but four years was enough). That's not a very good prescription for anything, least of all the arts. So maybe Dimash is subject to forces he cannot control. Or maybe this is his choice? It would be interesting to know. I'm not a Dear, but I am a fan, and have devoted a lot of time, admiration and emotion to his music, and his voice. But I can't deny what my ears tell me. I don't hold with statements such as 'greatest ever', because that's not a meaningful comparison to make between artists, or of artistry. Who was the greatest singer of the 20th Century? I don't know. Was it Callas? Elvis? Aretha? Pavarotti? Ella? Brel? Whitney? Streisand? Or any one of dozens of others, many of them unknown to me, from other cultures or musical traditions of which I am ignorant. And these are not necessarily my favourites (although a couple definitely are). What connects all, or most of them, is that they established their reputations through live performances, even in the era of studio recordings. Live is special, unique, synergistic, profound. Recordings are different, and we appreciate them in a different ways. But presenting a recording as if it were live ... that immediately undermines some important things, such as authenticity, integrity and trust. Once those are lost, it's hard to get them back again. Dimash is human, and the pressure his own reputation creates for him by now must be daunting. I don't think lip-synching is the answer though. If he is being forced to do it, then maybe like other artists before him, he will need to find a different environment to perform in. I can't imagine it's satisfying to go through the motions, and be applauded for doing so, even if it is rewarded.
