Emotional Wunderkind or Passionless Technician?? - Dimash - Across Endless Dimensions - Reaction 

It seems you are not alone. Most of my comment section sounds like people are speaking of a religious leader, not a performer. There is definitely something magic going on.

@@PrymalChaos Some onlookers stretch their imagination and call it a cult. I can speak for others like me that this accusation is nonsense. I've followed his progress since I Am Singer 2017 and love the consistency in his evolution as an artist. Does that make me religious? No. Does it make me a cultist? No. It just makes me a lover of great music from the best artist I''m privileged to witness in a very long time.

He’s just different, he hugs your soul. There are so many talented people, but the effect he has is completely beyond talent ❤️

Dimash and BTS are the only ones I've ever felt so strongly about. Dimash for his musicality and amazing voice and BTS for their music, lyrics and everything they stand for. I'm 53 and music has always played a big role in my life. I listen to every genre, depends on my mood, from classic to heavy metal

I feel the same way, I feel waves of energy when he sings, he touches my soul. I listen to him every day. He sings from a deep place, and his notes are piercing. I think singing is like meditation to him and he is so in the present moment, and I can feel that!

That seems to be a very common experience. Many commenters relay sensations of almost religious experiences from his music. It's fascinating.

@@PrymalChaos many people said, after witnessing him live in concert, they unable to forget that moment for weeks and keep wanting more and go to more of his concerts. And some even said, its like a healing session.. And interestingly even watching the recording of his concerts, can feel the atmosphere of so much love, kindness, warm and family feels floating in the air. Its so obvious that it feels magical. Well its truly magical. 😅

@@PrymalChaos I'm not religious at all, I believe it's more about spirituality. And him having morals and virtues makes it stronger. Dears are from more than 100 counrties, different coultures and religions. In a cruel and fake world people need to have faith in humanity. And he is the best example for this.

@@stellamarina. that may be a better word for it. Spiritual connection.

@@PrymalChaos 👍

Yeah I think context matters greatly. What I'm learning is that his incredibly technical songs are the ones that go the most viral, and therefore many people are exposed to. Based on that people form their opinions and so many people aren't as. Familiar with his simpler, more passionate songs.

Did you go to his New York concert???

@@user-pv7pk5nh3k No I was at his concert in Riga. And I have tickets for Düsseldorf and Prague for more than 2 years now.

@@Karin_Aquatica Lucky you! My dream in life is to watch him live in concert! He truly put a spell on me from the moment I listened to him for the first time! I am a proud Dear! I listen to him every day! ♥️From Portugal 🇵🇹

Your story seems to be similar to mine. My experience with Dimash is. People fall for him instantly while listening first-time, when needed (in any case, emotionally or other) or they can't understand what other people like about him. I'm blessed with the 3rd category around me 🤣🙈. Only my daughter can understand me a bit, bc she loves SOS and screaming only! We might see us in Düsseldorf.. Prag I can't go anymore 😔.

right on!!! ;)

Yes I can’t explain it either .I have listened to many genres over the decades from classical to rock but none has sung to my soul as this young man

Thanks for the tip. I am incredibly impressed by Lara Fabian, but I don't know most of her material. Good opportunity for reaction videos!

🤣LOL @ it is more infectious than any virus 🦠 😷, 🌹🤩 My dream is to see one of his concerts, but I doubt he will ever come to Australia 🇦🇺. I will probably be required to travel to Japan or China in order to see him in concert !

As to your last sentence that he is a beautiful phenomenon --> It’s a once in a lifetime experience, it’s a truly HISTORICAL PHENOMENA because a voice such as his only comes around once in 300 or 400 years. I often think that Dimash has “ helpers” from the other side like MJ and Freddie Mercury and that he was placed on the earth specifically during these very profound and extremely difficult times in human history in order to ease global suffering and to bring smiles and joy to millions around the world with the specific purpose of easing the pain of Covid * (I know that this sounds a little bit nuts but these are my thoughts during these difficult years that we are currently going through) . 🌍

@@DR77618 nuts? No not for me. I can't imagine what I hade done without Dimash during lock downs and dark winter hours! Every time I listen to him, he gave me strength to go on.

I'd love to witness it live.

@@PrymalChaos It’s my no1 Bucket List desire to go to one of his stadium concerts! Another thing to check out is when he headlined at the Emei Mountain festival. It was held outside, and it rained badly, but the fans waited to see him and he insisted on performing despite everything being turned off and wrapped in plastic. They used a full backing track, and he just sang alone on stage in the rain, and he talked to the dears in this lovely, wistful manner about how much he values them. It gives a real insight into who he is at heart. Here’s a link to the full Dimash part of the festival. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fEwU1oFlhU4.html

Dimash is a professional on a level that many of us can't imagine. He is creating a fantasy world in his "staged" videos; singing in front of a "green screen" is about getting it right, take after take.. I agree with OrangeWasEjected that his personal passion and vulnerability are so very visible in his live shows. When he does "Daididau" (Bastau), and bows down on the floor, with tears in his eyes, it takes my breath each time I watch it. "Daybreak", too, comes from the depth of his soul, and leaves me broken open; perhaps it takes having been broken to really absorb the impact of his music.

@@PrymalChaos Truth be told, his voice is even more impressive live in person. I attended his first solo concert in NY in 2019 and I must say that, in a way, the videos on RU-vid don’t do him justice: I was somewhat surprised by the sheer power of his voice, and delighted by his warm and funny interactions with the audience (unfortunately, some interactions were cut off in the official release of that concert - available on his official RU-vid channel). After that concert, I became a Dear for life! What I love about Dimash is how he immerses himself in the songs he sings. One ought to be blind and/or deaf not to see that, really! Because he understands on a deep level the songs he interprets, he chooses the best way to convey its meaning and emotion. Thus, he reaches his high register solely for the purpose of better conveying the intense emotion, whether it’s a cry for help, a yearning; or to express pain or loss, and for the climax. He definitely doesn’t need the high notes when it comes to singing (see “Qairan Elim”, his original and first directorial debut ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K45qdRAIWaM.html). His voice has so many colors and tone to it, not mentioning his vocal dynamics. To me, he’s not only a masterful vocalist, but also an amazing storyteller, as well as a soulful, genuine artist. I feel like some people will never be moved by any of Dimash’s performances, let alone recognize how much of a storyteller he is. Dimash loses himself in the songs he sings; but yet they don’t see or feel it, being both too analytical and too focused on how flawless his singing and techniques are (the irony). It’s precisely thanks to his mastery that Dimash is able to freely dive, and tap, into his emotions. Dimash is not merely a technical vocalist, but first and foremost a passionate vocalist who always gives himself to us in a live performance. That being said, Dimash is simply not for everyone: to each their own and that’s totally fine; which is the way it should be. Because Dimash’s voice and music resonate with me on so many levels, he’s able to move me to tears; which other mainstream singers aren’t able to. P.S.: Sorry for the long reply! 😅

@@kalliopesensei3023 Awesome post, it wasn't too long at all👍

Love Adai and Daididau Bastau 2017 concert just phenomenal! You must watch and react!

I have never had such an emotional connection as strongly as with Dimash! I don’t understand it but there you go! It is real and strong! Dimash does a great Adagio! The best!

There it is!! Well said!

Yeah. I'll have to do a video on his version.

@@PrymalChaos and Lara sent a congratulatory message to Dimash after that performance...even wrote "Your Love" for him a year later. They're mutual fans of each other:)

Well said!

Estoy de acuerdo con tus expresiones!!! Yo también creo que Dimash reúne condiciones excepcionales ...no he conocido o escuchado a alguien como él en toda mi vida.

@Marta Echave Nilsson Hello Marta, I consider myself lucky living in this time!

👏👏👏

Good points, agree with you.

He is a true master of the art.

I completely agree with you! A couple of years ago, when I first got acquainted with the work of Dimash, I came across a video review of a person who attended his concert. In short, the person said that "I will never go to Dimash's concert again, because he has practically no" normal songs "(i.e., as I understand it, songs performed in one octave). In almost all the songs, he seems to boasts of his voice. I was amazed by what I heard. Why, having such an unrealistic range, should Dimash hide it to please the dissatisfied? It's the same as saying at Povarotti's concerts "It would still be better if he sang like John Lennon or Eminem".

Sorry, I fail to understand this debate. There is no discrepancy between technically and vocally outstanding performances and emotions. Dimash is a highly emotive, story telling performer. He has a tremendous emotional impact on me, I don't even know how to handle my emotions when he is singing - tears, feeling everything inside me is exploding, etc. People can have debates until hell freezes over, I will rather spend this time getting moved by Dimash.

@@DiaLinwen Hi!

Yeah. I agree with everything you just said. I think it essentially comes down to taste. You can't engage emotionally with material that you aren't connecting with in the first place. It's seems like most people do connect with Dimash though.

@@paivyt. Very true. I will never understand this either. This song and this performance tear me apart. Despite the fact that i listen to it every day multiple times a day, the effect is always the same.

Isn't that crazy? Dimash IS music! Musicians get it. For example, Pacido Domingo who just sang a duet with him. :)

Je pourrais dire la même chôse; vous avez très bien décrit se qu'on sente avec Dimash. C'est sa voix+ sa pérsonalitée. (bien que j'aime beaucoup Lara Fabian)

Hello Germany!

Hello Sweden!!

Thanks Jens!

Can you imagine?!

@@PrymalChaos ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hr18S7TK2EU.html

Yeah. It's gonna get far more diverse around here song wise! Thanks for the feedback!

I am a huge fan of breaking down borders! Thanks!

Thank you!

i got stitches from LOLs. funniest comment ever!

PTX are amazing too.

Kay, that's exactly what I love to hear.

Thanks Jeannine!

Saudaões de Lisboa!

Excellent point. Thanks for your perspective. I tend to agree.

Ahhh so that's the connection. Thank you!

@Patricia Palmer I think they have only performed together just that one time.

@@Lou16. Yup. And only the one song.

The DEARS are certainly a diverse crowd!

Thanks Mike. This is why I am actively against judging people for their musical tastes. It doesn’t matter if you are the only person in the world who love a performer, if their music moves you, that’s all that Matters.

I'm certainly learning through wonderful comments like this one exactly who the man behind the voice is. I'm glad that he appears to be earning the devotion that he seems to attract from all over the globe. His DEARS discuss him with the fervour of disciples of a religious icon. Not only for his talent, but for who he is behind the voice. I have seen this first hand in my comment sections! I have no issue with that, but part of me always hopes that any human afforded that much devotion is deserving of it when the cameras aren't rolling. I'm beginning to understand that that authenticity is part of his charm.

@@PrymalChaos Yet again you bring up points that really make me (us) think deeper. What is it about Dimash though? Why does he get this much devotion? What is his magnet? That voice counts for a lot. He doesn't only have the range, but each and every note he sings, each vocal type he uses, is just so beautiful, pure and precious. Dimash uses his voice to tell the story and to make us feel the song. Sorry if this becomes half a book of a reply. There are other artists who are just as kind, humble and decent. As I said before, it probably has to do with how and when Dimash entered any given life. As for myself, and as one of the religious folk, I truly believe he was sent into my life at the exact moment I could find nothing but jet black darkness. 2 and a half years later, I still thank God every day for this light from Kazakhstan that burst into my life with so much energy and charm and the most gorgeous voice I've ever heard. However, that's only my story. Each Dear has their own story of why Dimash is special to them. The other thing is maybe also that Dimash is a relief. Sadly, a lot of our lives we get to do know 2 kinds of people: the plain wicked, nasty, heartless kind, and those who only show a silent rage in everything they do - but inside beats the kindest, most loving hearts and we have to find, dig for and discover that beauty inside them. Dimash is neither of those. There is no mask, no darkness or hiding. You wondered what he's like when the cameras are off. Big picture comes to mind. How he grew up, what he was taught and his entire mindset certainly plays a role. This is where a lot of the relief and refreshment comes in regarding Dimash; knowing that there are still households who live together in peace and harmony. Knowing that there are teachers who focus on morals before maths. Knowing that there are artists who are actually ok, not depressed or unhappy. This is what Dimash shows us is possible. At the age of twelve he was asked what his biggest dream was. His reply: My dreams have no limits. I wish to be well educated and get to the heart of the nation. A teacher told of Dimash never having lunch at school because he would use all his money for lunch then hand it all out to all the other kids who had none. His quotes and sayings are utterly profound with the kind of wisdom found only in grandparents, animals and mountains. Getting back to the big picture, it all shows that who he is at home, with friends, alone etc has to be the same as in public - just without the showmanship. Goodness, authenticity, honesty and trust are just naturally Dimash. I know I sound very sure about things going on behind closed doors, it's just hard to imagine someone with this kind of mind and heart could be any different out of public view to the person we know in public view. Again, sorry for the mile long read, and thank you very much for your insights and awesome videos 👏👌

@@ordinaryvalley Thank you Dear 🌺

@@lms1144 Как хорошо и точно вы передали то , что чувствует каждый из нас ! 👍🙏❤️

I'll take a look. Thanks.

He is a master.

He is remarkable.

I wouldn't know where to look! So much to see all at once. 😆🤘

Yeah I agree. Let people enjoy things. If it's not for you then quietly and respectfully move on. Thanks for your comment Cheyenne. 👍

You're not alone. What's fascinating to me is that that division seems so black and white. Some people sense a kind of inauthentic cheesiness. Others have a religious experience. At the end of the day, you're right. Dimash is still a young man. It will be interesting to see how he evolves over time. It's important to remember that artists are human. They evolve and mature over time. (maybe not Gene Simmons - Lol) Also it seems that most of the 'technical' performances are the ones that go most viral, do maybe the truth lies in some of his other material. Less production, more heart. I aim to find out.

People preface their posts with "for me...." to avoid being accused of dictating how others should respond to a Dimash performance. Dears are constantly faced with the ridicule, verbal abuse, labelling even name calling by others who don't like Dimash's style or his music. These imo are keyboard warriors who don't bother to enlighten themselves first with a little bit of research before attacking the artist or his fans. Education is key. That's another reason I follow this young man, his thirst for knowledge in his chosen field has brought him to where he is today and he doesn't rest on his laurels. no one can fault him for that.

@@PrymalChaos Gene Simmons did get his Genes( :D) set to frost:) as you can see, i really try to get it-sidenote: cross Reaction Commenting: if he go on Stage with Floor, doing an Composition(s), Tuomas do for them, with Marco on Bass and Jukka on Drums, ofc our classic Wrestler Emppu on Guitars, and the London symphs and choirs in Backround, i would pay an absolute fat amount of Money to SEE and HEAR that:)

I'll find it! That would be a great moment!

It's no problem really there are a lot of comments that repeat others but there is quite often a small piece of the puzzle in there that others have missed.
