Opera Singer Reacts to Dimash Kudaibergen (Daididau) - Dimash Journey #4 

Bravo Super reaksion Thsenk you Ledi

I agree.. this is my favorite song from Dimash. Very moving.

За прослушку Дайдидау сразу лайк, не глядя

Большое спасибо красавица Angel что прослушала именно эту песню в исполнении ДИМАША, и сделала глубокий профессиональный анализ. По твоим глазам видно, что Ты тоже восхищена ДИМАШем. Привет из Казахстана

Bastau is my favorite concert. Everything was perfect.

I am not a singer or musician, but you are one of THE best Dimash analyst on RU-vid. And beautiful on top of that. Stay awesome.

Thanks for your wonderful reaction. Dimash loves to sing this song. He is very passionate in sharing his country, and culture with the world. He was overwhelmed with the participation of his audience, when he performed in New York. DEAR’S from all over the world gathered together this past December and surprised him, learning the word to this beautiful song so we could sing this song to him. I was blessed to be in the audience at that concert. To see and hear him sing live is a unforgettable experience. It was my dream come true. 🎼🎶🎤❤️🇺🇸

Before I even listen to this reaction I want to say that I pulled up an article that was "40 opera singers under 40 to watch" and you were the first one listed. Looking forward to following your career.

One of the most soulful and lyrical songs performed by Dimash (one of my favorite). There are also a lot of deep songs in Dimash’s repertoire, where he doesn’t demonstrate his vocal skills (War and Peace, Daididau, Samaltau), when you listen to them you don’t think about vocal, the main thing is the meaning and the lyrics themselves. Very interesting and informative video, thanks for the excellent analysis👍👍

Wow. I love your reaction style. 🥰😍

Dimash loves this song deeply.

Excellent

This one is a sad one, very close to his heart. Has subtitles. And he went down in the end, in tears. This is from his solo concert, about 3 hours long. His kind of singing is also similar to Indianmusic, we too have a lot of middle eastern influence in indian music.

Sooo thank you Angel for another intelligent and simply wonderful reaction to our beloved Dimash. The level of information you share with us is priceless. Daididau is my personal absolute FAVOURITE song from the repertoire of songs by Dimash.

"daididau" is my favorite as well! i'm often drawn to songs/performances that have great significance to the artist, especially ones that show the love they have for their country and people (something that i absolutely LOVE in dimash). i often catch myself humming it when i do stuff around the house, hah. although i'm sure there are songs that i'll love as much as this one, since i haven't heard that much yet. i'm trying to listen to him in small doses, 'cause i'm kinda scared i'm gonna run out of this drug quickly and freak out ;)

Thank you, love all of your Dimash reactions.

Thank you, thank you! You are awesome! Very nice reactions like always!!! You are the best!!!

Дайдидау үшін, Димаш үшін үлкен рахмет!

This Man is fantástic,unique!!🎶🎶💎💎🔥🔥☀️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷

Another great reaction. Thanks for helping me to understand just how incredibly talented this man is. Looking forward to the nest one. All the best :)

I’ve been loving your reaction videos of Dimash so far. I really appreciate all the analysis you do so that those of us without any voice training can understand and appreciate all the amazing things he does. I can’t wait until your Ogni Pietra reaction!

It was obvious that this song meant a lot to the audience, too. So beautiful! 🌹

I love this appearance because he is singing to Kazakhstan. What you missed was the backstory of this sad, beautiful song. Please go back to Gloria and watch that one too. You’ll be glad you did.

your voice is beautiful. thank you for this all.

Daididau is the nickname the man had for his wife. This is such an emotional piece. He is so loving to perform at his own concerts.

Bravо and thank you!!!

Dimash->🔥❤️🔥 Your reaction->❤️❤️❤️

If you like this song then you will like Samaltau, but also Ogni Pietra and Passione. Thank you for another insightful reaction.

Dimash the best in the world 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼💣💣💣💣💣💣💣 спасибо за реакцию 👍👍👍👍👍🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿

Thanks for great analysis...looking forward to more Dimash....

I think having larger vocal folds helps him. I am not expert, but I do research everything Dimash because he touches my soul. Freddie Mercury had two extra teeth that extended his vocal space, I think Dimashes large vocal folds may be very similar in effect. The mystery of Dimash is that both of his parents where musicians, his dad an instrumentalist and his mom a famous khazak opera singer, he inherited talent in his genes, further he started training at age 5 and at a young age he was pitch perfect, he is working on finishing his PhD in music, and let's say he has a natural gift from above with all the hard work and passion for his trade, we are given this phenomenon known as Dimash, and the cherry 🍒 on top is that he is such a great person, charitable, humble, loving...It just makes him all the better. Seriously I would give him a big hug of love if I could. I admire him so much, and he has brighten my life since I first happened to discover his existence. I wish more people were like him, he is a bright light in an ugly world. That's my feelings and I think not just mine but many others, he calls us Dears and I gladly and proudly accept that title.

I love all your reactions. Thank you very much

Bastau concert is a very good and right choice. I recommend from this concert to make reactions to songs such as "Daybreak" or "Diva Dance".

Great reaction. I love this song. It's so beautiful. Since you're on Bastau, which was his first concert right after doing the Singer show, you should do more from it. 😁 Diva Dance is awesome! Lol. And Daybreak!! That's an amazing performance and the song has such a sad story behind it.

You're the first vocal reactor so far who explained about the colours and belting with the round sound on this song. I've to say that I don't usually like belting voice because it gets annoying to my ears, but I love Dimash's belting, as it's comfortable to my ears because of its roundness. 😊 Angela, I've always enjoyed your Dimash's reactions. Thank you!

Angel thanksl,for detail analysis,we really appreciate it, please don't give up, Go ahead! But I would like you to see this song from the start,you can see a group of dombra ( Kazakh traditional instrument) players were playing it so awesome

So, your channel is the only one I have subscribed for such lessons of voice coaching. Thank you very much, indeed.

This song means a lot to him. Thank you my Dear 💜

I've enjoyed every analysis that I've seen of yours. You make observations that I don't find others making. Just wonderful.

If you watch the Gloria Wu version after the fact, the backstory with give the lyrics context. The same goes for Episode 8 "Daybreak". The vocally superior version is from Bastau, but the Gloria Wu version gives you the tragic backstory to the song. The Gloria Wu version also goes into how Dimash had lost his voice the day before having to sing, and had an injection to his throat. I thought it was Gloria Wu's intros that prevented copyright strikes. I do know however that her "Autumn Strong" is slower, and ends up a semi-tone lower. Both the Singer and Bastau versions of "Daybreak" are in E, but I guess for a vocal analysis Bastau would be better, and I suppose knowing the meaning behind the song isn't that important for that purpose. Some reactors do both the Singer and Bastau versions in one reaction. Or I guess you could always watch Gloria Wu's intro to the beginning of the song beforehand (use the "cc" button) on your own, and then react to the Bastau performance.

Gracias amor por la reacción 🥰😚

This song is very sad. A famous Kazakh poet was arrested for sedition. While in prison he was told his wife left him. The lyrics are poem. A plaintive cry asking why his love left him.

Nice reaction to Dimash singing Daididau. Great performance by Dimash. Greetings from Amsterdam.

I'm excited when you will reach Ogni Pietra and especially Know(Ice Palace version). Know is an interesting mix of pop, opera and kazakh ethnic riffs (zhoktau).

You will hear much more "Arabic ornaments" in his singing as you move through his singing. Most of the Kazakh's are Muslim, so there is a very real connection to that style of music. Love your reactions. If you find it hard to find another non-singer songs to avoid strikes, I suggest you do Sinful Passion. Thanks.

Awesome analysis and reaction. Thank you so very much Angel

I love youre recat to dimash. More please song sinfull pasion, latte attum, show must go on, ogni pietra, passiones, cover song hello 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤🙂

More videos of dimash please, great analysis.

As always, your analysis is so in depth and based on physical explanations, fascinating ! His ornamentation is closer to Farsi music, which influenced the entire region. It's a very different kind of technique to middle eastern/north african melismatic styles. The Farsi tecnique is more diaphragm oriented than laryngial, so it's harder to execute. Luv ya lots, Diva D

wonderful!!! he is the best!!!

GREAT REACTION ANGEL...AND YES! THIS IS A VERY TOUCHING SONG....😍

Thank you for your continuing interest in the art of Dimash! Daididau is one of my favorite songs as well. The song and his performance convey the desolation of the broken lives during the Stalin times. As you have started with Bastau, he sings there one of his most beautiful songs - the Kazakh ballad Give me love (it was in Episode 14 of the Singer - the Gala concert, which is not reacted to often).

Not many have reacted to Daididau, so thanks you very much for that

His goal has always been to bring Kazakh music to the world so when he sang this, I think the first time outside his own country he was overcome with emotion at the end.

This was the first time I noticed an almost power metal sound during his belt. That's incredible.

Thank you so much ! I love your reaction!

Looking forward to your reaction, after the "journey", to the composition Olympico (Ogni Pietra), considering that it is a lyrical work written specifically for Dimash's talent!

I enjoy learning new things when watching your reaction and analysis. I’ve seen this song dozens of times but you give me better appreciation for the way it’s sung. Thank you.

Very interesting--thank you.

I really love your reaction❤❤❤

You can find 2 songs that he performed in The Singer but later that year repeated in his Bastau concert - Daybreak and Diva Dance. They are both on his official channel so they are copyright-safe. Both of these versions are also better than his Singer versions because he was sick during that competition. I think you should analyze these 2 songs next. They are both well loved by fans. :-)

👏👏👏👏👏👏

There is a small difference between his version from The Singer and this one. But it’s understandable: at The Singer competition his goal was to impress the audience in 5 minutes ; while here, he has to sing a 3 hours concert, so it’s different, he must spare his voice.. I’m waiting for your reaction to Ogny Pietra and Passione ☺️😃 Edit: I really don’t like the idea that you are not allowed to watch in advance a song that you are going to react to! I’m not watching your video for you’re facial expressions, to see you ,,blown away” and super impressed! (There are literally thousands of that kind of reactions to Dimash on RU-vid) No, I want to hear a pertinent and professional analysis! That’s why I highly recommend to learn about the song you’re reacting, about the story/ topic of the song and about the composer. Especially with songs like Passione which is a piece of art, that you can’t fully understand by watching just 1 time, there are just too many things happening there ! It’s like in opera, I watched Turandot or Traviata, or Aida many times; still I discover new aspects every time .

THIS IS ALSO ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS ...GREAT REACTION ...AND YES...DIMASH IS AN AMAZING SINGER

Thank you🙂 We are anxious too🙂 Please don’t miss the Diva Dance from the Bastau concert as well🙂

That was super cool, thanks a lot!

Hey Angel thanks for a nice analysis :) keep going we will be waiting :)

In this show, he is very moved, almost the whole show, just like the show in New York.

La voz mas bonita del mundo!! Sin duda!! Increíble, un ángel!! 👏👏👏😇🌹 Verdad que si??

You've hooked me. I'm not any sort of vocal expert. Dimash stuns me, I know I'm hearing a virtuoso, but in my head, there isn't much to help me understand the nature of his craft. For that reason, I've sought the reactions of vocal coaches, hoping to glean better insight. And I'm making some progress! For example, I'm pretty well tuned into the nature of Dimash's use of dynamics. He has an enormous dynamic range, from breathy almost-not-singing to full belts and crazy mixes. He uses dynamics to create intense drama in his songs. He had to have gotten his sense of drama from his classical training; we sure don't hear much of it in radio-formatted pop music, which tends to be dynamically flat. Angel, you're taking me deeper down the rabbit hole, which is exactly where I want to go - explaining nuances I could not have understood alone. And you are sharing your sheer pleasure from his performances. I take delight in the sharing.

Don't know why, but every time you react to DK i like it a lot. Well done said by you, his voice is versatile and different every time he sings.It is in his culture that got influence from Middle East a little bit, and brought up with better version or stylish by Dimash for variety and challenge.There are many songs of him, they're very different from each other and sang so perfectly by him.Wait and it will be hard to choose a favorite one.You will be amazed by this guy super talented (once in life time)..:). Thank You

Thank you Angel for your review. Please react to SOS in Slavic bazar, Samaltau and many more. I can't even think of 🤔😁😊

I am persuaded to avoid the long click baiting videos commenting on Dimashi who seek to make a fame under the shadow of the performer. I took the time, however, to listen to your insightful analysis. It is, as a matter of fact, the best analysis, to my musical culture and abilities, that I have heard. It worth my time, indeed. I had come to understand the sport beyond what seems to be simply expressed by means of voice and understand that it is a sport in terms of the biology, physiology and anatomy of such wonder. I was able to see through your explanations the why and how behind the modulations, switching between voices and their colors, Dimash is able and capable to pour into his arts of singing and why such control and power is given to those whom are able to seize their talent and make sense beyond our knowledge and understanding. Thus, I understand why he is a miracle to music and how challenging he has become to every singer from ethnic to classical and subcultural style of singing. From how you portray the changes of apparatus that is behind the sound I understand the training, the further training and its sport -sorry to tell it this vulgar and for the third time- that cannot be wonderfully taken advantage of it unless one is conscious of his talent and make a wonder. Therefore my idea of sport that requires to get to such sublime and wonder stage of interpretation. Thank you for your inspiring and talented analysis you are bringing to us.

This song is super important to him, is a traditional kazah song, so always when he hear the audience sing the song with him he cries for the emotion 😭🥺

you admire harmony ...))), and the meaning of this song, as a mother sent her son to the army, and he was sent, without his consent, to a buzzing war, and is not known, or he will return to his native home alive or not. hi to you from Ukraine ...

Dimash love song for you

What a great review and analysis. I have listened to every vocal coach reaction to Dimash and you are creating the best set of them with your careful explanation of your insights. Please keep doing what you are doing!

Very nice analysis

WOW. Thank you.

Dimach is a gift from God to us all 🙏 the best singer in the world 🌍❤️🇵🇹

I likes your reaction Vidio 😘

I'm an someone who loves beautiful songs especially dimash music it doesn't matter where it comes from or how dimash sings it what matters is the message and the emotions and if you can understand what the song is about then you will get a understanding why his songs are sung that way dimash sings them everything has a meaning even if you don't understand the language or the culture I don't critique anyone or analyze that's not why I listen to music .🗣🎼🎼🎼🎼☝️☝️🇰🇿🇰🇿

Thank you for your thoughtful reaction. Daididau one of my favorites (yes, I say that about 99% of his repertoire😂). He delivers it with so much emotion, my eyes tear up every time. If I could make one request, I understand that you are analyzing the vocals and that is why you made a couple of small cuts in the performance. I would however, love to see your reactions to some of those in betweens... as a performer yourself. Those moments, for me, are part of what make him so much more than just a phenomenal singer. Just my 2 cents 😁 Also, I don't know if you noticed, but that whole performance was sung without his in ears. In the beginning they seemed to be malfunctioning or not working right, and after a couple of failed attempts at getting them to work, he scratched it and took them both out. I would be interested to know your thoughts on whether/how much that might affect a singer in such a large venue. I just thought that was interesting, and it made this performance all the more impressive for me. 😊 Thank you again, and I look forward to the next reaction! ✌❤

Niiiice

Thank you, no one explains the vocals like you. That’s why I enjoy your reaction. Never learn so much in such a little time. You’re great.

Your analysis enhanced my appreciation for Dimash vocal skills as well as inspired me to learn even more. With your own beautiful voice used as a mirror to what was explained, I also became interested in listening to you singing as well. Listened to several videos and loved it too. You've definitely gotten a new regular on your channel in me. Thanks for sharing!

thanks for a nice reaction to this beautiful song. 😊 😍 ❤️ 👍 😁😋🤩 he totally owns stage and audience, he has such presence, drama and emotion and really lives his way into the role and piece that he interprets, not only vocally but also as an actor and so focused and how he leads his voice to where he wants it. perfectly vibrato full-bodied clear warm soft and strong tuning, superb dynamics, resonance staccato crescendo colorature mixed with Eastern and jojk/yodeling and melissma. so much sound colors and harmony. this is just a few things to say about Dimash and what hes able to do. everything he does seems so playful easily. and he goes as easily with glissando from the highest heights down to baritone as he walks from the bottom up. his transitions are outstanding and fascinating. incredible volume control in transitions tone changes and falcette and mix. in the Diva dance song he makes glissando from F el G 2 up to breathless falsetto tone and then over to flasholett without adding strength. not to mention his belle canto. and that he makes chiaroscuro with ease (both dark and bright combined) he can really conjure with his voice. belting over to the chest and then head and whistle and down to baritone. the name of Ogni Pietra actually is Olimpico. it would be so nice to hear him take on Nessun Dorma. have you heard "Nämner du Sverige" or "Che Gelida Manina" by Jussi? im sure uve heard him do Nessun Dorma.

This song means so much to Dimash. I love his emotion in his delivery. It is beautiful. Thank you.

Dimash lovely song

You have a beautiful voice, great analysis very knowledgeable not just focusing of technique and voice but you know lot of where the sound comes from and the ornamentation

Thank you for your appreciative and professional commentary.

You will hear this used extensively in his singing. As someone who has spent years living in the Middle East, I can assure you that a lot of melismas and techniques are attributed to arabic style that are in fact not. The makam in his rendition of Hello is a prime example. People immediately say it's Arabic when in fact it's Turkic.

Very professional and thorough analysis! You will hear more melismas in Hello and Sinful passion. You definitely wanna hear his duet of Swan goose with mongolian singer Tengri and then the very sad but beautiful kazak song Samaltau. So looking forward to your reaction of his songs in full classical singing: Olimpico and the duet with Aida Garifulina in Ulysse, the trio with Aida and Lara Fabian on Ti Amo Cosi. Greetings from a swedish Dear 🇸🇪!

Merci, madame Azzarra, de votre réaction qui est plustôt une analyse professionnelle. ous auriez très bien chanter des chansons kazakhes d'ailleurs.

Please Dimash PASSIONE

Angel, about the lack of roundness of his belt in SOS - the show Singer utilized post-processing and drastic sound compression that affected high frequencies negatively, (probably by removing too much overtone - sorry I am not a sound expert). In other words it made his high belts sound a bit thin and shrill. According to people who attended the live event, his high notes sounded very round and full, and was absolutely gorgeous. Once they heard it on TV which was broadcasted several weeks later, they complained that it sounded so much worse than what they've heard live. On the Singer show, there hadn't been much complaint about the over-processing of high frequency notes before Dimash because it was very rare for Chinese singers to "belt", especially as high as Dimash does. Chinese pop songs are usually quite soft and limited in range, because singers want their songs to be easily sung in karayoke bars - the more people sing your song, the more popular your music become. The post-processing and compression of sound that Hunan TV utilized would not distort low to mid range of frequencies, where the great majority of notes reside. Dimash had appeared in a number of media events in China in between The Singer episodes and based on the fancam clips his high belts were always round and beautiful. Interestingly a year later (in 2018) when Dimash returned to The Singer stage to sing Hello (hopefully you will review it too later) they no longer used that level of post processing, and you can hear a huge difference in his high belt quality.

The whole story behind this song is very emotional. In other variants he's playing at the string instrument very professional at the beginning of the song.

I really love your reactions💕 I'm learning so much that help me to hear, understand, and give me an even more glorious experience.

She's a true expert vs so many others (jokers)

I loved his melisma 👍👍
