Unforgettable Day at Gakku - Singer Songwriter Reacts 

I have to say that apart from the iconic D8, I actually prefer the version in The Singer. Although he doesn't go even remotely close to the D8 in that version, I find it much more beautiful and definitely more appealing visually with that orange lighting scheme. That said, singing a D8 for 5 seconds with vibrato....how does anyone do that live??? And ON HIS KNEES???? When I watched the performance recently for the first time, I wasn't aware he was going to hit the D8 in it. I literally fell off my bed that morning when he hit it and nearly destroyed my phone in the process. One can literally say his range is off the ch.... uhm, PIANO! 😂😂😂😂

Thank you!! Yes, you are right: His voice cut out at the G7. So he probably was like "I better give them something else to focus on now" haha Love Dimash

I think you're the first person to criticise (fairly, might I add) Dimash on youtube and not receive any dislike. Usually the fans are ready to rip apart anybody who hints at Dimash failing at something. Goes to show your very likeable and respectable personality, and it was a great reaction as always.

Great!!! I agree with the other commenters. Another interesting fact about this Gakku Concert is that it is an open-air event. Dimash was the headliner for the Concert. And there were 150,000 people in attendance. This fact was confirmed in the Wikipedia article about Dimash. Dimash is beyond amazing!!! ♥️👍♥️. Thank you for your review. ♥️👍♥️

Another Dimash characteristic is that even if he gets down or walk he can sing effortless and with any voice crack!!!

He tried to whistle on the singer but for some reason it wasn't heard. This D8 is so satisfying

That's why i call him *D8MASH* 😂 😁 If we hear his D8 its so powerful and I'm sure he can hit more than that. 👌 😁 👍 😀

Just crazy, I can also say that this Guy born with a stunning fate and has a long way to go, the way that we all will accompany and enjoy this unique talent and support it, thanks celab a great reaction as always👌🙏💖

I admire that you keep finding all data and past info that noone else learn the viewers. Cheers from Greece 🇬🇷. Continue Dimash. All have being dimashianized. Dimash give passion to any word of the lyrics. Hugs bro

Thank you! I'm glad I don't have to stop watching you..😂 I love both performances and that whistle note is impressive, but it's not why I love him so much. I'm just glad to be alive during his reign. 😍😍😍

An exquisite singer who can also compose a beautiful melody. Extraordinary.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you! I always felt that the D8 was a spur-of-the-moment decision, though I never figured out why. I just thought, maybe, heat of the moment... Now what you say makes a lot of sense. Another thing that floors me is how he then continues with a perfect lower register as if nothing unusual had happened...!!! 👍👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷🌷 By the way, many people miss the one line in the song, right about the climax in the high notes, where he asks, So how could I let you go to another? In the Bastau concert, a pretty girl stands on a platform which is slowly pushed toward Dimash’s platform. At this point of the song, she suddenly falls straight backwards and disappears. So apparently, in the story, the narrator might have fallen in love at first sight, but she already belonged to another and fell away from his life. Maybe that’s why that day was Unforgettable. Thus the poignant cry in the high notes section.

Caleb, thank you for using this version. I knew you would enjoy it. For the next one, he didn't sing in episode 11. His next song is episode 12 where the first part is Confessa which he starts in Chinese for the audience then he changes to Italian. Remember that when he removes his earpiece it means something is coming then or soon. After Confessa is over he does Diva Dance that's from the movie The Fifth Element where they combined a female as a blue alien singing and added synthesized music to finish the notes believing no human could sing all the notes.

we are still waiting for "Love is like a dream" :):):)

Yeah,i think also that his voice stopt and then he hit D8 ,so what ,it proves he is singing live😉 Great reaction,loved it as always!!

Love is like a dream. But you've still got a few episodes from singer. Once you hear this talented person, you will become a "DEAR"

💖🙂👍...I like both this version and Singer 2017 .....I found that the Singer 2017 is a more ( my opinion only :) ) very intimate and heartfelt version that the Gakku one...but Gakku shows Dimash's incredible voice skill!!

I agree! I also believe his voice cut out and he threw caution to the wind. He has excellent intuition for a performer. That D8 created quite a buzz on social media, but you are the first I have heard acknowledge the skip in his voice. It worked! Bravo again, Dimash.

yes!!! D8 is an epic kettle whistling at its boiling point. great reaction too

Hi Caleb, Dimash himself in an interview admitted to having different (longer?) Vocal cords than the normality of people. But his ability is in knowing how to use them on every frequency, the result of 20 years of study and exercises.

It's really lucky to have such a reactor like you. Please keep going. You are one of my favorite reactor of Dimash. Very insightful.

Спасибо за реакцию!!! Димаш не только исполняет эти ноты 🎶, он доносит их до сердца каждого слушателя. 🎶🎶👏👏👏❤️❤️

I love music. I can't sing very well, but since I was 3 years old I have loved trying to sing, lol, and especially just love to worship the Lord through song. I am in awe of the voice God has given Dimash. It is straight from the Lord since He is the Maker of man, so it has been fun to watch different reactions from people. However, most reactions are just unprofessional, lots of vulgar speech so I turn most of them off. You, however, are extremely professional, soft spoken, and have such knowledge into the art of music. I appreciate that you stay professional during your reactions and that you greatly appreciate the voice, charisma and nature of Dimash. You have also been given such a beautiful singing voice, but I don't detect pride in you when reviewing Dimash. You just absolutely appreciate his talent and inform us of the amazing things his voice is able to do on a technical level. Thanks so much. 😊

Beautiful reaction dimash is crazy when he do that d8 and a live but for me i love the version on the singer china 2017 mor because is so imosional and beautiful if you wont to watch unforgtable Day watch the singer china 2017

Caleb, thanks for a very well and in depth analysis of this amazing performance! Love your Dimash's reactions!😉🥰🤗🤟👍🤩😍

thank you again :) I don't know if anybody has already said it in the feed, but this microphone trick he uses is to show that he really sings live. Dimash has used this on several occasions as well as in the contest The World's Best in the USA, aired at the beginning this year and recorded at the end of last year. the contest he refused to continue just before the final because he had to compete with children not knowing that beforehand. the Kazakh tradition is that you never compete with children. you respect the elders and support the young ones. and Dimash deeply honours its culture - such a beautiful and noble thing to do from such a young man.

I love this song so much. Those lyrics... it's pure poetry in motion. ❤ Dimash rarely sings the bridge of this song the same way twice. Tho the D8 is super impressive, I actually prefer the Singer performance. The D8 is replaced by a run that "only" goes up to G7 😉 but is very beautiful. I preference also has much to do with the band/backup singers on the Singer show... they are soooo good. Even if you don't react to it, I highly recommend that you watch the full performance from Singer with no eng subs..... And for something different, if you watch the Gloria Wu version, she's woven in vocals from earlier performances for the first verse so it's like a mini progression of vocals over the years prior to Singer... and the little interview with Dimash at the end just melts my heart. I recommend that you watch both of them.

Hi Caleb! Always appreciate your info during Dimash reactions! I just heard a reactor basically say this performance was "boring" and the D8 didn't sound good cause "it hurt their ears"! I know everyone has their opinions, but there is always a better way to say it. You always know the right way to explain yourself. Thank you! 😊

The Chinese lyrics in the Singer version is quite 👍 I think it made it more unforgettable for the Chinese audiences. I love both versions.

Thnx for the reaction to this performance. Much love. 🙌🤜🤛

Caleb, thank you! I've seen more reactions to this performance than I care to admit and no one dared to talk about the elephant in the room - Dimash's voice cutting out. I was really curious what had happened there. Finally, you talked about it - and gave a pretty good explanation, too. Really appreciate it. Fantastic reaction, as always.

Well done on Dimash name! 🤩♥️

Caleb you are wonderful! I really enjoy your reactions of Dimash. I love what you say and I love your opinions that are respectable and successful. Thank you for admiring our Prince Dimash.

Hi, Caleb. Great reaction as always. I always look forward to seeing your detailed and insightful comments and can't wait for the next one. Assuming you are still going through the Singer episodes, I have a request. When you do Episode 12 (there is no Episode 11 for Dimash because he had already made it into the final rounds) Confessa + Diva Dance, could you also do Diva Dance Bastau at the same time? The Bastau version is very short and it would be fun to compare. I think most of us would agree that his Bastau version was better than The Singer, but I think both Diva Dance versions are amazing and his dramatic and entertaining performance of Confessa is not to be missed. Thanks for considering my request. Keep up the great work.

Thank you so much again Caleb ❤️❤️ your explanation 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It's always lovely to see a singer appreciate and enjoy another singer... without competition and jealousy :)

Thank for your great comments about his voices. To add on that, I really love his outfit... really cool isn't? 😊😊😊😊

Thanks for your great reactions always combining music professionalism and human empathy.

I love watching how happy he always becomes, after he has achieved the Whistle Note. And it seems like the audience also feels that joy, since most of them are aware when he's going for it---and then he succeeds at it. A happy Dimash always means a happy audience, because he's so charming and so confident when that happens.

DIMASHHHHHHHH ❤

Thanks for reacting to Gakku! If you haven't, I'd make sure to watch the Singer version when you get a spare moment (just to listen to it, not react). I really love your technical analysis of his songs. Great job! :D I've watched a lot of vocal coaches/singers/etc. react to this (specifically the D8) but you are really one of the two or three I've seen stop explain what may have happened (with the mic and the sound not coming out) and how the whistle register works. to explain what happens/how the whistle register works--all in relation to the D8. I'm really impressed! The reason for the D8 is suspected to be just as you said. He normally hits a lower note, but for for whatever reason it didn't work (i.e. Dimash is human, things happen!) I've heard the D8 to be: he slid into it from a lower note, 5 seconds with vibrato (because obvious a D8 JUST WASN'T ENOUGH). lol It's such a pure, clean tone, too--most I've heard that can reach those high whistle notes usually end up sounding a bit shrill (in a way that kinda hurts to listen to), and look slightly uncomfortable/forced sound. This just shows how Dimash is just amazing and with such control! :D I look forward to the next Singer reaction! .... and Diva Dance @ Bastau. This time I offer chocolate brownies to do a reaction to the latter as well. >_>

Hi! Thanks for the super response on this song Dimash he wrote the music.👏👏👏💐❤🎶🎵🎤🎼🎵🎈🇰🇿

Hi! Thank you very much for your positive feedback, your reaction is nice to watch. Although I don't understand what you're saying but realized about. Thank you to the following reaction. 🎶🎵🎤🎼🎶👍👏💐❤🇰🇿

Great comments! You’re so personable yourself - it’s fun watching and sharing Dimash with you! Ps he’s done this note with this song in several performances, even when he was much younger, in Khazakhtan. One would think he might have lost it, being older, but not a bit! I love it! 😁

This song is writing by Dimash. Thanks for your reaction.

The important part of the story that Gloria Wu omitted was that Dimash didn't write the lyrics, and there are all of these fan sites saying he did. They were actually written by the poet/lyricist father of a childhood friend of Dimash named Oral Baisengir, who also wrote the lyrics to another song Dimash sings - "My Swan". By doing some digging on the web, I found this account describing how a 19yr. old Dimash brought the music over to his house so that he could write lyrics for it. If everybody knew this it might put a dent in all of the speculation that Dimash wrote the lyrics about a mystery girlfriend that no one can name. It is true though that Dimash could have told him what to write. Here it is : facebook.com/dimash.kudaibergen.kz/posts/513618782357933/

The best thing about Dimash is he has so much ability to control the stage and he is just a natural talent and super star!

Great reaction and insight there Caleb! Another viewer posted already what happened in this performance, so not worth repeating. So, Diva Dance coming up... Perhaps you can do both in the same clip? The Basta version is very short, but magnificent, and The Singer version is a combo of two songs, which you cannot separate, really. Just a suggestion.... Looking forward to your reactions/analysis. Good job.

I love this song and I love that he reaches out to his fans during his performance. I am always a bit sad that on some reactions folks are always waiting for the big notes (not you Caleb), but I truly enjoy his low register and everything in between and how he brings beautiful lyrics and his amazing vocal skills plus his desire to create a moment of beauty. I would love to see him perform soft delicate vocal gems for us as well as the rolling thunder. I love Dimash and I truly want to see him enjoying what he can offer us - which I believe is what he tries and usually succeeds 100% 😘😘😘😘

I never thought it was a voice cut off... Since the first time I saw the video I felt he was preparing for the higher note.

U are 100% correct. Voice cut out on a high note, so, yep, I'm going even higher...watch/hear this! He does the moving mic technique partly or fully because people were saying he has to be lip syncing...so, watch/ hear this!

Hi Caleb. Very helpful analysis. About the mic technique, usually he do it when he wants to prove he sings live, but here I agree. It seems he wasn't sure about his voice😄 I like all versions of this song. Miss world 2018, in his concerts.all are unforgettable🤩 but lately it's more about emotions than high notes or long belting. It is one of the songs his fans always sings with him. So he takes it easy😅😍in his last concerts it was verrryyyy good. Dears were amazing. I love them😍😍

For his softer lower voice singing, I really like his performance of the Titanic song. Of course he does go high at the end, but he sings nicely in the lower range

So interesting again, Caleb, thank you so much. Diva Dance Bastau concert next and sinfull passion ( Sochi) ? That would be fine !

Hey Caleb.. I think Dimash missing that one note was a blessing in disguise or else we never would have heard that D8. Thanks for your reactions. Your a pro for sure......

Спасибо . Мнение профессионала приятно слышать. Вы обояшка🤗🤗🤗

Hi Caleb, thank you for this video. I kindly ask you to do reaction for other unique woman voice( 15 y. old) Diana Ankudinova really has unique ,amazing ,mesmerizing memorable ,recognizable atavistic tribal primordial voice for so young age. Diana Ankudinova "Wicked Game" or "Human" need to hear these songs in her version, its so amazing. Please do reaction to Diana.You will be shock absolutely. She control her voice so professional as singer with big experience.

Рахмет за вашу искренюю реакцию ! Произведения в исполнении Димаша для меня как будто росой умыться!🤗

Thanks, Caleb for the professional information you provide during this reaction. I also think that his voice cut off at G7 as you said, but Dimash doesn't do everything unplanned. I suppose he did the D8 note on purpose, but your view can be true as well because, in other Unforgettable Day performances, I haven't seen Dimash does such a thing anymore! Good point.

Loved this reaction! You always have such interesting things to say that I can hardly wait to see which song/artist you are taking on next. As for Dimash... you will find that he takes off on a different level after the Singer. Perhaps because he no longer is in a competition he has the freedom to express himself and do things his own way (instead of being mindful of appealing to judges and impressing voters...). For me, his time after the Singer has just been a row of jaw dropping moments after another. Even when I think I know what to expect Dimash always manages to surprise me. (Exactly like when you watched him sing All By My Self, and what you expected him to do next wasn't what he actually did...)

Спасибо за реакцию 🙏. У Вас обоятельная улыбка ☺️

Hello, dear friend! I love your reactions to Dimash! I'm your new subscriber. I hope you will make a reaction to the young brilliant singer from Russia Diana Ankudinovain the near future, the fame of which is all over the world now. Here's the video title for the reaction «Ты супер!». Первый полуфинал: Диана Анкудинова, 14 лет, г. Тольятти. «Реченька». I want to warn you that when you watch this video, you may be bewitched.

Crazy high note

There were 150,000 people in attendance and Dimash donated all the proceeds to charity.

Diva Dance Bastau next 😊😊

VEry detailed analysis again especially on his technique and that crazy whistle note. Thank you Caleb for consistently reacting to our Dimash. Looking forward for more:-)

Yeah he went for the whistle and it didn’t come out, but instead of letting it phase him, like a true professional, he not only went for the whistle again he went even higher than usual!

So grateful. Thanks for emotional reaction. Dimash supernatural. Welcome to Qazaqstan. D8

My thoughts exactly. I think his voice got cut out and then he does that crazy D8 to made up for it. You can also see almost the same thing on the singer version, but it was the other way around. I think on the singer he tried to make the whistle note (by the gesture of his hand closing to the earpiece), but didn't came out, so he does other melody instead. Both version still killer though. Awesome reaction as always, Caleb!

Diva Dance at Bastau plsss.😍

First of all, what an amazing analysis! So professional and careful. There are so many Vocal Coaches that are doing Dimash videos, some are good, some are decent but unfortunately most are really bad. For better or worse Dimash has became very click-bait-y. It's so refreshing to see someone like you! As many already stated, almost no "Vocal Coaches" (haven't seen every single one, so I'm not 100% sure, that's why almost) have talked about his voice cutting off (and honestly I don't even know why). So interesting to hear your professional thoughts on it, because it always was really intriguing to me. I also find it really nice that you were a little concerned talking about him "fucking up" something, but I appreciate that you are objective and true to yourself. So thank you, Caleb! Now, I already told you, that my favourite performance of this particular song is at a recent concert he did at Emei mountain where the conditions were awful. You should absolutely check it out, not necessarily on camera, and if you even have a little bit more time, you could see the whole concert, which is around 30min (due to the weather it had to be cut short). Very fascinating to see Dimash in those conditions. Also love the fact that you read every single comment. It brings the community together! clap clap to you

I think that he is the most technically accomplished and naturally gifted singer in the world!! I've never heard anyone else do what Dimash does....he's incredible :)

React to time when dimash had fun with his voice or forgot he still human.its a compilation of dimash amazing vocal.surprise is waiting😘😘😘

ty so much for reaction Caleb

Thanks Caleb for your great reaction & analysis!!

Notif Squad signing in!!!! Bravooo !Atlast you reacted to this...Another epic performance of GreatDimash… Gracias! #greatDimash #Masterofvocals #BestoftheBest

Hi Caleb, I am so glad I listen to you, I love how you break down all the different techniques, that Dimash does with this voice! I am amazed how our vocals chords are able to perform all of these physical challenges!!! Again another great reaction to Dimash! Blessings Karen❤️🌹💕💕🇱🇷🙏🏻🌎☮️💖

I also think his voice cut off that moment and i was like well i think i can believe he is a human like us too but then he hit that crazy high note and made me question myself again😐😅 Anyway i love how honest and real your reactions are and i appreciate that you actually go to find usefull informations about the songs you're gonna react to Looking forward to your next reaction😊

I'm so glad you do seem to get the best versions of songs. This is the most "unforgettable" version of Unforgettable Day.

Majority of people believe he tried to hit that note, and couldn't at first, took a quick break, and hit it. He normally at that point goes G7. Awesome reaction as usual!!

He really is a mega talent. His high notes will bring the dogs to the screen and watch Dimash with you! I don’t know what the note for a dog wizzel possibly could be but pitching so high to the outside of a piano key I just out of the ordinary. Great reacting, thanks.

Understand your choice for the Gakku version of Unforgettable Day, but to me, he is simply showing off here (as he should); but the SINGER version is way more subdued and emotional. The ending is just out of this world (without the whistle note)... But hey, to each his own, right? Your reaction was dead on (again) - and where you go, I follow. Thank you for this.

Nice song ,nice reaction. Luv your amazing voice Dimash.

Great commentary Caleb... I can't help wishing his fans would let go needing to hear his whistle notes. The more they scream when he does it, the more he'll try and please them. I'm loving his low notes! Am sure you're right his voice cut out... nice distraction Dimash!

Another great reaction video Dear Caleb! 😊💕 I’m so enjoying following this Dimash journey with you and as I’ve said before, I feel that I learn something new each time...here I gained a better understanding of whistle notes and how they’re created. Dimash’s D8 is off the charts impressive!!! Can’t wait for the next video...I believe it’s Confessa/The Diva Dance. Get ready for another knock out performance!!!! 👍🏼😁👍🏼

Hi Caleb!!I'am agree with you,I belive that his voice just interrupted somehow but I'am glad that happent this because this proves he is singing live,(for those haters that say he is doing some tricks whit his voice).He have a unique gift from God,it's unbeliveble!!!!Thanks for your reaction!!See you next time!🤗🤗🤗

Thats is Supersonic or Dolphin voice of Dimash..so incredible and powerfull..try to watching War and Peace..so awesome another performmance of Dimash..BTW i love your reactions Caleb..

As i said watch him in concerts uh will love tht!!

Спасибо, Caleb! Я уже несколько раз слушала именно это выступление. Мне оно очень нравится!!! И да, мне тоже показалось, что это не техническая проблема, но Димаш далее отлично справился, не показав даже вида, что что-то пошло не так! Он супер-талант! Мне очень интересно смотреть Ваши разборы! Еще раз спасибо! Привет из Приднестровья!

Hi, Caleb! You are so cute and awesome!

Yeah, i like your reaction 👌

Caleb compliments! You are one of the best reactors. So full of intuitive knowledge and most sincere. As always Bravissimo Dimash 🌹💫🌹💫👼🌟

There's a singer that sings high notes that confirms what you are saying about his voice not coming out. She said that when you're singing super high notes live, sometimes it doesn't come out, and that's just the reality of singing super high notes, esp in the whistle register. She said that you shake your head the way Dimash does to reset your cords and then give it another go. When you're performing, tossing your head isn't really out of the ordinary, but she said it is a telltale sign that the note didn't come out when it's done right after a voiceless note. I watched the segment multiple times, and I agree that it isn't a technical glitch either. It's one of those rare moments where Dimash's voice doesn't come out. In concert setting where you're in the environment and your voice may be drying out, it's totally understandable that the whistle notes don't come out on the first shot. It's like any professional that just has that one slightly off moment, but not so noticeable because they recover so quickly from it. So it's amazing to see how quickly and flawlessly Dimash troubleshoots in a live setting.

I would imagine that even Dimash has a bad day now and again. But if I recall him singing this song on The Singer, he sort of "tested" this note just before he would normally sing the note, and it wasn't happening for him during that performance. Watch how he pulls the mic away from him mouth, and cups his hand to his ear to check if he was able to hit the D8. The D8 is his highest note, so far, so it might not take much to prevent him from hitting the note as planned.

I love your reactions! I love Dimash! 👍🏻👍🏻

Dimash's best time playing with the crowd is "SCREAMING IDOL HITS"..... I saw people recommend this Version Unforgettable day just for the D8 his misses the run and whistles but watch the Singer Version he does 3 incredible runs I think. It does look like he tries to whistle after the first run but misses it and does 2 more runs :)

Very nice job reacting to Dimash's song, you are very kind and professional not degrading and judgemental which is awesome to see and hear. I'm sure he wants to do a perfect job for his fans but even though people say he is an alien, he really is a human. Thanks for a sweet reaction Calab.

Your analysis is always perfect. I only learn more here with you and with the comments thank you Caleb

Thank you!!! Спасибо за реакцию!!! 😊 Dimash best, beautiful singer!!! 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

Thanks Caleb, for saving my day! I was seriously depressed and suddenly this video just popped up. I started watching it and both your and Dimash's calm voices have soothed me. Another perfect reaction with clear explanations! You're a great reactor, very professional! As for Dimash, he's perfect, what else can I say! I don't get tired of listening to this song, it's beautiful! Love you both❤️
