Professional Singer Reaction & Vocal ANALYSIS - Dimash | "Sinful Passion" (Грешная страсть) 

How had I never seen this?! Another amazing performance from Dimash -- are there any others I still need to analyze?

Notice the guy in the white shirt that stands at the end of the performance. He is a megastar Russian composer worth billions who came out of retirement to work with Dimash once he heard Dimash sing. Now huge North American megastar composers are meeting with Dimash. The saying “ be so good they can’t ignore you “ certantly applies here. ❤

The band named A'Studio that accompanies Dimash, is the same one that composed the song minus the lead singer named Batyrkhan Shukenov, who died of a heart attack in 2015. The song was originally performed in 1998 and the lyrics are by the poet Ilia Reznik together with Baigaly Serkebayev, (the keyboardist with long hair, which we see in the video accompanying Dimash.) The tones in the middle are oriental Arab technique (or traditional qazaq singing, called Joqtaw. It is a lament to the deceased singer). The last run is 24 seconds on 1 breath. This was also the first time Igor Krutoy heard Dimash (at the end you see him in the white shirt giving a standing ovation) and what started their relationship.

For those who like information about Dimas' songs: Sinful Passion - The story behind this song is very interesting: The band that accompanies Dimash is the same one that composed the song, without the singer who died after a heart attack! The band is also from Kazakhstan and this performance by Dimash revitalized the song. In addition, the final part he added, with an oriental technique. The song was originally performed in 1998 and the band's name is A'Studio (Russian-based Kazakhstani pop music group, "Alma-Ata Studio", city of Almaty). The dead singer (to whom Dimash was a fan) left the band in 2000 and passed away in 2015 and his name was Batyrkhan Shukenov. The lyrics are by the poet Ilia Reznik together with Baigaly Serkebayev, who is the keyboardist with long hair, which we see in the video accompanying Dimash. Hugs from Brazil!

Very shortly after I stumbled upon Dimash I found you reacting/analyzing to Dimash SOS. This happened very shortly after I lost my husband to cancer. You, and others, played a part in getting my through those first months, filling the living room with voices. In the process of listening to you I learned more than I ever expected to know about the human voice and you have indeed added value to my experience. I would like to recommend two Dimash songs - The Story of One Sky and El Amor En Ti. The former is a long , complex video but the live version of the music from his Almaty Stranger concert on his channel may be easier to analyze since the video is of a very heavy subject. El Amor En Ti is simply a blockbuster, gorgeous to listen to and experience. I would love it if you would cover these quite different Dimash offerings. Thanks, Peter!

THE GUY. 6 years ago, two respected European music critics having just finished watching his epic SOS on The Singer sat in total silence. Finally, one looked up and said.. That's the guy.. What guy ? asked his partner. His answer: The guy, years from now, someone walks into a room and says Hey ! I've just heard the best singer I've ever heard in my life ! and his buddy says.. Dimash best ? And 3 others say no way in hell ! and they all laugh. He's THAT guy. I'll never forget it. Try Dudarez Almaty for a killer performance. You won't regret it and thanks !❤

Dimash is the vocal virtuoso of the world.

Remember, Dimash has been classically trained and that training started at 5 years old.

He did hit the D8 in Unforgettable Day at Gakku but said later in an interview that it wasn't supposed to happen, that for some reason he didn't produce the note he was going for (I believe it was normally a G7 but I could be wrong) so readjusted and sang through C8/D8 for 5 seconds with vibrato.

Dimash is authentic and captivating…..beyond his divinely given talent and his own hard work perfecting it……he is a gift to our generation. Thank you for reacting to him.

Always a pleasure to see your reactions to our beloved Dimash performances. His voice should be declared World Heritage. Thank you for loving and appreciating his art and genius. Your comments are brilliant and on point. Waiting for more Dimash. All the best.

There are over a 100 videos of Dimash. React once a month. I think twice a month would be best if you want to grow your subscribers. You're a handsome man and we female Dears wouldn't mind seeing your handsome face more.❤❤❤❤

Wow Peter - how did you miss this one?! Igor Krutoy spotted front and centre of the audience leading the applause…. This performance is the one that hooked me on Dimash even more than SOS did. The cello part blends so beautifully with Dimash’s vocals - floating on a cushion of immense joy. You may truly enjoy some of Dimash’s newer performances such as El Amor En Ti and Story of One Sky. Both are incredible!

I think two of the most amazing ones you "need to see," are "The Story of One Sky," (because it contains an even more impressive "Middle East" riff that shocks nearly everyone who hears it the first time), and one of his most recent, "El Amor En Ti," in which you will be able to compare Dimash's bass opera singing to your own!

He does a marvelous whistle note in his Drunken Concubine duet with Li Yugang, in which they spliced the Diva Dance. It is worthy of a listen to enjoy the differing vocal techniques and styles of the two artists.

Dimash is the most incredible , talented and versatile singer in the world ❤❤❤

This is surely the best analysis of this cover I’ve seen. Thanks, Peter!! (And by the way I’d love to see you cover something in this style-you sound so good singing the parts you did here.) If you want to hear his whistle register, I’m sure a lot of people have requested Unforgettable Day, where he hits the famous D8, and yeah you should probably check it out (I look forward to your take on it). I really like his whistle notes in his duet with Li Yugang, singing Drunken Concubine and Diva Dance better, even tho they’re “only” in the high 6th or 7th octave. It feels more appropriate to Diva Dance, which is theoretically impossible for the human voice. Either, both, or neither-another song would be fine by me as well.

Dimash lights up the planet with his voice! The fast riff in the middle is an ethnic Yakutian riff according to Dimash's father. Bravo Dimash!! (again) 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐 Congratulations to A-Studio kazakh group and to Baigali Serkebaev (the man who plays the piano and who composed the music of this song in 1998)

Dimash's deep and gentle voice... I melt away. What a wonderful song, wonderfully sung by Dimash. Did you hold your breath? 🤣 The final run was 23 seconds with one breath. 👏👏👏 Dimash sings here as a guest on the New Wave 2018 (international competition). Igor Krutoy, the man in the white shirt at the end, a famous Russian composer, music titan and initiator of the New Wave had invited him. Now, both are a "Dreamteam" and work together from time to time. They are friends, have a father-son-relationship. ... and of course Dimash donates the many flowers to hospitals and retirement homes. The band that Dimash accompanies at this performance called A’Studio, who composed and performed “Sinful Passion” in 1998. The band is also from Kazakhstan (Dimash's homeland) and this Dimash performance has revived the song. *Original: A'STUDIO - Грешная страсть - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CN9fHwhna_M.html The glottal - stops is a throat singing technique called "bleating", “goat's trill” or „Trillo caprino/ little goat“ used by the indigenous peoples of the Far East. In Iran called this technique „tahrir“ In 17th-century Italy, 'trillo' referred to the so-called 'Monteverdi trill' or bleat, a tremolo-like repetition of a single pitch. Singing these trills was frowned upon. * Maryam Akhondy - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kAWVblqDCR0.html * Sainkho Namtchylak - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SSqFSgPzchU.html * Diana Ankudinova - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EmMxOv5MtyE.html

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

To see yet another side of Dimash as an artist, you may enjoy watching his music videos, especially the very elaborate last ones: Be With Me and The Story Of One Sky. In the latter, he uses a singing style I have never heard him use before, while Be With Me is just great fun to watch and see him use different registers of his voice to portray the different sides of the character that he plays. Hope you get to analyze Dimash more frequently because your analyses are great. P.S.: Just saw you performing "Der Wanderer", and as a German, I have to say your pronounciation was flawless. I could understand every word while closing my eyes and not seeing the English subtitles. Bravo! Not even all German bass singers have such a clear pronounciation.

Dimash's whistle register starts from E7. He has hitted ,D#7, E7,F#7,G7,G#7, C#8 to D8 all these notes during live performances. Crazy right? ❤😂 Also while practicing in the studio he has a hitted F8 & G#8

Dimash is the best! No doubt about it!! And a great composer and instrumentalist!! We love him so much!! Can’t stop listening him sing! Thanks for the reaction. From USA ❤️❤️❤️

You explained things so well to a non musician. I love this masterpiece by Dimash. Thankyou for your reaction

You do very interesting reactions... thank you. Dimash is an amazing instrument ! He is a very creative musician. Thank you for presenting him to the world since he is not going through the commercial houses... he deserves the world to know this amazing artist

Dimash was immersed in music from super young & won a national piano contest when 6 yrs old, 1 yr after starting to learn to play. He has absolute pitch & plays 7 instruments. His Mom is a soprano with the Philharmonic. His grandfather is a virtuoso in ancient instrument & taught Dimash…

Dimash faz o céu estremecer, saudações do BRASIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷❤

There is also a wonderful Fan Cam video of a different performance of Sinful Passion where the camera never leaves him and the sound quality is astounding! "Ti Amo Cosi" with Dimash, Aida and Lara Fabian is gorgeous. (You did a reaction to just Dimash and Aida.) And "Ave Maria." Also, El Amor En Ti from Dimash's latest "Stranger" tour (9/22). You'll soooo enjoy it! (Sorry, I've become one of those dears. lol.) Love.

The technique you were having trouble remembering is I believe called "Caprino" - The Fairy Voice Mother - mentioned it in her review of Sinful Passion. Suggestive of the bleating of a goat. I very much enjoy your detailed analysis. Rest assured, you are hitting the mark as regards your helping those "unwashed" masses of we who don't sing! - to help us greater appreciate the complexities and wonders of what Dimash is doing and which you yourself, I am sure, do as well - though maybe not quite up as high in the sky vocally as does he! Enjoyed it very much Peter. Keep up the good work - because we inquiring minds - want to know! Just subscribed to your Patreon account - one good turn deserves another!

How on earth did you miss this?? Lol I am glad to be able to see you react to this. I've seen other reactions and I hope you are as pleased as they are.

Дорогой наш друг, Питер! Спасибо Вам за реакцию на творчество нашего несравненного Димаша. Очень люблю смотреть и слушать Ваш канал. Вы - певец, обладающий прекрасным голосом (запоминающимся), прекрасно разбирающийся в вокальных техниках, при этом Вы можете объективно оценивать творчество других исполнителей. Еще раз, спасибо Вам за этот доброжелательный, подробный анализ. С уважением, из Казахстана.

Dimash had even vibrated a D8. He is unique. I'd never heard nothing like Dimash's voice

2021 vocal range updated: (7,2 octaves) (Growls/C1-F#1) (Fry/B1-D2) (Chest Voice/E2-B2) (high chest Voice/E4-D5) (Mixed Voice/E5-C6) (Head voice/C#6-Eb7) (Whistle/E7-D8)

You can really hear how much he's developed his lower range since this performance when you listen to some of his more recent work, but this is still one of my favorite performances of his. It's just so beautiful and emotional.

Спасибо за реакцию и ваш разбор, очень интересно и познавательно, спасибо🙏💕 Очень хочется вашу реакцию на новую песню Димаша на испанском, "El Amor en Ti", там очень богатый нижний его регистр, думаю вы оцените 😊

Dimash é espetacular e apaixonante, quando canta não precisamos traduzir pois sua voz e interpretação transcende qualquer idioma! Simplesmente incrível! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏽👏👏🏼👏🏼👏🏿🎶🎵♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷

I love it when people get geeky about the subjects they love 😂. You have the best Dimash reactions on the net!

I love learning the more technical things Dimash does. I have learnt so much from listening to analysis, why he does what he does. You are great at explaining that. Thank you

This is the first song we see Dimash do a 20-second run; simply amazing. The other one is "Stranger" with an 18-second run.

Thank you Peter for so detailed analysis. Dimash's voice is great but hear his performance brake into peaces by the professional who is not shy of appraisal and admittance of crazy,insane( your words) talent. Such a pleasure to watch your genuine reaction on amazing things Dimash does.

Thank you for your reaction! Dimash’s talent is mind blowing 🤯 A'Studio was invited by Igor Krutoy to participate (individual concert) in the 2018 edition of the New Wave festival. Igor Krutoy, the man in white shirt giving his standing ovation, invited Dimash to participate in this festival in the same year. "Sinful Passion" was created in 1998. This is how the song was performed, exactly in the 20th anniversary of this song. It speaks of greater love, greater loss, greater despair, greater desire, greater passion. The loss or lack of this love, in Dimash's interpretation, has the dimension of a loss of life, which one is very anxious to restore. In place of the original purely pop instrumental part (inserts), Dimash included (after the last chorus) his vocalize, a stylized onomatopoeic (like a lament) eastern ornament and the words "дай мне, дай" (give me, give me) with a 23-second melismatic on the last syllable, which is not a simple substitute for a pop musical theme, but an extension of the story sung earlier in words. ❤️🎤🔝🌹🌹👏👏👏

The Story of One Sky and El Amor en Ti are his two most recent pieces--both composed by him and both excellent. In El Amor en Ti he treats us to his low, middle and top ranges, as well as different singing styles, operatic-->pop, all in extended solo segments. I like his lower range in this piece the best, actually. It has continued to mature in the last few years and has developed a lovely tone with a lot of power. With your interest in opera, I think this one is a must listen for you. I'm partial to the MV for The Story of One Sky--it is a mini movie, really, and his voice almost takes a back seat to the visuals and his acting--but they join, in equal importance, to deliver a single searing message. He wrote the story line for TSOOS, composed the music, sings and acts in it. He premiered both pieces back-to-back in his recent Almaty concert, and you could view his performance of TSOOS there too (which of course, Dimash style, is sung somewhat differently from his music video), but the music video adds so much more to the meaning of the song I would advise you to listen to it first. His performance of it on stage is electric though, and he puts everything he has into it.

My favourite from him is Samaltau - Tokio jazz festival performance

Que bueno que volviste a reaccionar a Dimash y a mi canción favorita!!! Es una de las mejores interpretaciones de Dimash y para mi el mejor cover de todos los tiempos!! Por favor reacciona a “The Story of one Sky” es realmente una Obra Maestra!!!! Lo mismo que su primer canción en español “El amor en ti”

Finally !! So good to see you again on Dimash ! Always love your reaction. Please check his New song " story of one sky" can't wait to hear you about that. Greetings from France

Hi Peter, missed you - welcome back to Dimash World.

Yes, he’s keeping us on the edge of our seats - and finally we fall off 😅👏👏👏👏❤

Greetings from Russia. Thank you for the excellent, professional and accurate reaction to Dimash. I am Russian, but Dimash's voice outweighed all Russian performers. With him can only compete with a big interference Girl 18 years old - Diana Ankudinova. She will be compared to the young Cher. But Diana has a sick range. We return to Dimash. Now he is the best voice on the planet and this is what your fellow singing teachers and simple bloggers say. Watch Dimash's other performances and you will understand why he is the best. Good luck and health.

If you haven't seen his masterpiece, One Sky, you must.... his true genius is shown in this .

There is no other that compares anyway near Dimash! We love Dimash!

I learn so much from your analysis. It makes the performance much richer for me. Thanks.

Hola bienvenido al mundo maravilloso musical de Dimash…soy una dears de Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Perfecta reaccion DIMASH un grande de clase mundial soy adicta a su voz soy Laura de.cordoba Argentina saludos🇦🇷❤🇦🇷❤🇦🇷❤🇦🇷❤

It's amazing he has a full 6 octave range.

Hey Peter with all that Talent and Genius. The Man is still Humble and always performs over 100% for his fans :)

I love your channel. Thanks for your reactions and analysis to Dimash, this incredible singer, showman and person. Best wishes from Caracas, Venezuela.

Hi Peter!!🥰 I Always Love your professional analysis of Dimash' singing!! It ADDS So much to the experience.👌👌 Plus, of course, I LOVE your Beautiful Voice!!!💗💗

Димаш - уникум. Когда я слушаю его длинные ноты, то задыхаюсь. Я вся замираю и не могу дышать. А не дышать столько времени невозможно для обычного человека. Вот так и умирают от удовольствия ... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Шутка.

Hello Thanks a lot for your reactions To Dimash. I'm very fond of Opera. I sing too. I won a price in 1994 in Paris. I'm waiting for your next reaction to Dimash. Stéphane( from France )❤

I am in South Africa and just discovered Dimash and I am totally intoxicated.

that thing is glottal stop or caprino. Thank you for your wonderful analysis of this performance. Your generosity to this wonderful young singer is really appreciated

Ого !!! Вот это супер анализ !!! ты один из тех кто очень подробно разбирает композиции Димаша и самое главное класно и профессионально оцениваешь его уникальный талант ! Голос Димаша это буря которая срывает крышу и запускает мурашки по коже !!! Сколько его слушаю - всегда восхищаюсь и кайфую !!! Спасибо тебе !!!

very nice reaction, very complete analysis. 👏.... a combination of natural talent and long hard work practice, produces something very extraordinary. that's what Dimash got, incredible. thanks for your reactions

Thanks for the reaction to our Prince Dimash again ❤ you SHOULD ABSOLUTELY check his song EL AMOR EN TI.... 4 DIMASHES on stage.... You are gonna love the baritone one ❤❤❤ Greetings from GREECE 🇬🇷🇬🇷🥰

Gracias por reaccionar al gran príncipe Kazajo Dimash

Спасибо за реакцию и подробный анализ. Димаш непревзойденный! ❤

Great analysis as always Peter. Thank you for reacting to another Dimash song. Another one of his older songs that I really enjoy is Love is Like a Dream.

What's even more amazing to me (former trumpet player) is that he doesn't refill his full breath after that looooong sequence - you know he's on empty, but the breath after is VERY shallow. You have to know the music and your ability well to be able to plan your breathing that well. So impressive.

Dude, i gotta say as someone who is in the business for so long, you are giving us the best technical reaction. Everything you say are things i was thinking. Great job. Keep up the good work.

Dimash----best voice in the world.

Love this performance! Love many, many more! Dimash rocks!

Dimash is the GOAT. He is a soul gatherer.Good review!

Welcome back to Dimash, as always a great breakdown of what Dimash is doing with his voice and techniques. He is fascinating to listen to and a wonderful performer for such a young person. Hope you will continue to analyze his performances.

Thank you so much for this reaction.❤️🇬🇧

❤ love dimash all his performance wow

I am loving seeing more dimash love all over he is the best singer in the world imo..... The way he just released a song entirely in English too!! He can literally hit all notes gracefully. Even the breath notes are entirely intentional, it doesn't mean he can't get to the deep notes. He uses %100 emotion, he's acting with his voice. He's the only artist that I will wait 10 hrs in a chat for a premiere. Lol.

You should definetly check out El Amor En Ti from Dimash.

Great analysis ty.. DIMASH highest note up till now is D8 in the song Unforgettable day.. Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Excellent analysis and insight. Great reaction. Thank you so very much for your analysis and reaction.

THANK YOU! (About time 😊) LOVE Dimash !

Самый высокий звук который пел Димаш D8.😊😊😊👍👍👍👍😃😃✌️✌️🌍🌍❤️🇧🇾

Dimash is without a doubt the best singer in the world. He really moves you with his songs and touches your soul

Thank you, Peter. I really enjoy your technical breakdown. You, The Charismatic Voice, and Tara Symonds are my favorites for that. Unforgettable Day - Gakku concert he hits whistle tone range with control. Across Endless Dimensions is another great listen. Stranger has everything, including an incredible sustained belt.

Through all these techniques and styles and vocal range, Dimash still conveys the emotions of passion. You are aware of what he is doing with his voice, and I've learned a lot from you, yet it is his heart that makes him so, soo great.A true artist and performer. Dimash uses all of these for the fullest possible expression of emotion. He is in the music and it is in him. I listen every day. I suggest "Love is Like A Dream". I could listen to it forever. Also recommend "Story of One Sky", both the movie video and his live even more incredible love performance in Almaty Concert:Part 2. . Thanks for supporting Dimash..

DiMash was classically trained at university. He has had formal classical training. Also Dimash’s mother is trained soprano singer with the Aktobe Philharmonic Society and his grandfather is an accomplished virtuoso dombra player and taught all of his grandchildren to play the instrument. DiMash is excellent at his craft but he has been formally trained his entire life.

Muchas grácias por tu análisis muy completo !! No puedes no permitirte escuchar THE STORY OF ONE SKY ....Una obra maestra con todos los rangos vocales posibles e historia que emociona y llega al alma !! Salúdos désde Uruguay !!

I really appreciate your reaction and mostly your analysis. I like to watch reactions to Dimash and how professionals are losing their mind about his ability and performances, yours are more than this. You not only are fun to watch (your reactions) but your insight analysis is so interesting and precious. You are one of the very few to get the little details, point to them and even explain them. This is the most value I see only in your videos. And beside all this your appreciation of his talent, techniques and performance, it is such a joy to watch and experience. If you want to watch and react to his highest note he sang live, watch "Unforgettable Day" at the Gakku festival. It was frequency measured and it is a unbelievable freaking D8! Most reactions needed to blur or partly cover up his video, e.g. with some text, for not getting blocked the reaction video.

Спасибо за реакцию. Вы очень внимательно относитесь к вокалу. Димаш вне конкуренции.

Great stuff Peter! Your reaction to Dimash's SOS introduced me to him and I'm thankful for that! Glad to see you finally react to Sinful Passion!

Thanks for the reaction. l can not believe that you have not reacted to Dimash " The story of one Sky ". There would be plenty of viewers l believe if you analyze that song.

I love your reactions and how you pass on your knowledge. Thank you.

Odlicna reakcija. Bas volim tvoje analize Dimashevog glasa.

A one-in-a-hundred-trillion voice range never to be repeated by anybody else!! 🌹👏👏

If you want to hear Dimash's highest note, then you should listen to Unforgettable Day (the Gakku concert specifically).

Hi, Peter! I LOVE Sinful Passion! And, yes, you are adding value. 🙂🧘‍♂

Thank you so much for this reaction, it brought me immense amounts of joy. Your musical know-how is adding to the listening experience so thank you, Peter.

Always nice to get your reaction to Dimash. An unbelievable talent.

His bass voice has grown...check el amores en te.....1st spanish song,he wrote it and I wish I were there live to experience this one...Almaty Concert
