Voice Teacher reacts to Dimash Opera 2 

Tbh, this perfomance was the one that caught my attention, and not only because of the way he sings (which already was quite impressive), but mostly by his acting there. He mesmerised me with his eyes, hands, way he commands the stage, absolute self-assurance. It is a real spectacle, and he played it geniously, you want to return again and again to watch him, not just to listen. "Opera 2" here is just name of the song)

Fantastic analysis. It is great that you are focusing on something different than Dimash's awesome voice. This specific song shows us how fabulous of an actor he is on stage. Dimash uses his entire body to convey his feelings and emotions and his use of his hands is totally remarkable. He often moves his fingers in harmony with the high notes he is about to reach. Thank you for your pointing about the value as an artist of not only be a singer on stage but a showman too. Very much appreciated.

KING DIMASH 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😴😴😴

Brilliant analysis. I even didnt notice all of what you pointed while watching this performance.

Thank s a lot for your awsome educational video... And great Dimash performance 👏👏🤗

Reacting as a stage director is breath of fresh air in all reactions that we see in the internets. Yet, it is a vocal analysis too. I know now more about spetacle and stage than before of watching your video. Thank you from Brazil.

Very educating! Besides, Dr.Marc doesn't forget to give credit to other specialists. Total respect!

Обожаю эту песню в исполнении Димаша с его озорной улыбкой и кажущейся лёгкостью невероятно высоких нот - никто не сможет повторить это чудо!

Thanks you for reaction to Dimash. We are always love Dimash. Dimash is always perfect and always best......❤️👏😊🎶🗣🌎🎤💁

FANTASTIC! I just love how you broke this performance down, and showed me, a layperson, techniques in this performance that I didn't realize on a conscious level. All I knew was that it was exciting and entertaining! Thanks for your analysis of exactly what's happening here. I really enjoyed being informed by you!

Поняла что каждое выступление Димаша это мини спектакль😊 где работает все: выражение лица глаза жесты каждое движение плюс еще прекрасный вокал 😍😍😍👌👌👌👍👍👍

Dimash isn't opera, Dimash doesn't has music genre. Dimash is Dimash. Unique in this world. 🌸🌸💗💗

He always puts his whole body into his performances always matching the particular mood not only singing but “acting” the feeling and words. The “big” movements and gestures are definitely trained and becoming a second nature from his opera background. The small movements - especially his hands, fingers always seem to “play” the music along - I think its a involuntary thing for him to visualize what he is singing - and yes it’s absolutely captivating to watch someone who is so immersed into his art. In his new song Ascolta la voice/Know his fingers play along the whole time during the amazing melismas his voice is creating.

I always found his eyes looking at cam or audience very confident but never in that way, that's cool. It's fun to watch him stand there on stage with so many moves/poses to help him gets high notes or just for the sake of spectacle, it's so entertaining. At the end, looked like it was a fun conection with the audience on how high he can go

Димаш СУПЕР ВОКАЛ СУПЕР АРТИСТ👌👌👌❤👍👍👍

I came up with my solution after I picked up my jaw from the ground when I discovered Dimash about six months ago. That is I say he sings rock, pop, operatic, Kazakh folk songs and hybrid style.

Super singer ! Super Dimash ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Nice analyse from a other point of view to Dimash. Interesting to get pointed out on the reasons WHY Dimash has this amazing, entertaining, lovable stage awareness and present and his "tools" to produce it. Again a superb one, you deserve much more subscribers!

While I was searcing Dimash background, I found out that this song is the song which he studied and performed... He get used to song very much.. This song has very much known by him like he was playing in the garden

What I love about this performance is how much fun he is absolutely having and sharing it with his audience. Story is totally secondary here, but sharing the experience with his audience is his goal.

Thank you so much, Opera2 is very very beautiful song🌷🌷 one of the many favorite of Dimash's voice, beautiful

Hi! Thank you for your reactions. You're probably the one that understand the most how to do reactions videos. You separate the reaction from the explanation and it's amazing because all the time when I see a reaction I find myself really frustrated when they stop the video every 10 seconds and it gets really slow for me, but the dynamic you are using it's awesome. I also wanted to thank you for the dedication, I can see all the effort you put into teaching and editing the video to be educative. Thank you, keep up!! 👍

I wanted to thank you for your analyse and teaching videos of Dimash singin. And wanted to ask to continue ur analyzes of him by doing Adagio,Daybreak bastau,mademoisell Hyde,la Voce. Specialy u would find la Voce very interesting.really appreciate ur lessons🙏

Your analyses are very enlightening. Thank you for the observation and sharing them with us dears. I am learning from you. Please do react to latest performances of Dimash, all are mind blowing: Love is Like a Dream, Queen Medley with the Super Vocal Boys, and Madmoiselle Hyde. For sure, you will once again give us exclellent views. Thanking you in advance.

OMG! YOU mentioned LATE AUTUM?? one of my favorites. Can you please talk about that performance?

finally, the explanation i could mostly understand 😅. great2 explanation

Oh my! You mentioned Dimash performing late autumn! You've seen it??!! I want to see your analysis of it!

Learn from you so much to be able to appreciate the talent and efforts of Dimash. It is lucky and great !!!!

FROM.ARGENTINA SOUTH AMÉRICA THANKS TO REACTION TO DIMASH!!I!!I LOVE HIS VOICE IS AMAZING!!I WAIT MORE REACTION OF MY IDOL!!THANKS SIR!!

Такой Димаш здесь хорошенький😍😍😍

I can't answer your question what opera is but I totally enjoy your content!

OMG. What an insightful analysis. You have pointed out a lot of things we thought were normal. I did notice his eyes in this performance, and I thought he was just playing the audience. When you demonstrated your eyes moving without them being purposeful were really robotic... I guess his eyes really did make important role of his awesome showmanship... I have no problem with people reacting with pause in between... I do get annoyed if they paused during the best part... Lol... But I really love your format. I would really like to hear what you thought of his latest performance "Love is like a dream"... I think he uses the Aural Spectacle you talked about... 🤔 Can't wait for your next video. 😊😊😊

I just think he shows all his skills. His Dad at 2:07. Proud Daddy! He hasn't went to his lowest or highest.......yet. His Mom is an opera singer. His dad a singer and more. Gloria Wu channel on youtube will inform you of the family and other things.

That's why Dimash has to be seen and not only listened to. The very journey with him Is in live Concert or in videos....llllove this reaction of yours

Loved your reaction and explanation of opera and the effect that Dimash evokes with his eyes and body language . You put it into words for me and I just love Dimash reactions because he is so unique ...most of us do not have words to describe his abilities. So this was excellent and very helpful , thank you !

Thanks for that reaction! I really appreciate your profound analysis of the feelings that are causing, every sound and every word sung by Dimash. He really sings with all his body. He injects the emotion into the audience with his incredible talent to recreate the text and the melody into a body dance.There are emotional performances, technically perfect performances and entertaining performances. He combine all three of them and it makes it as powerful as a nuclear bomb.

Thank you very much for honest reaction, great analysis of the whole Dimash performance, and for educational part. I haven't noticed many things that you have talked about, even though I have seen this spectacle multiple time. I haven't noticed the lights, though I felt the atmosphere. I didn't know about the meaning of eye movement, but I was caught by them. I think Dimash's great artistry lays somewhere between perfectly timed and prepared acting, feeling and understanding what he is singing in each phrase (or even word), meaning he is filtering each song through his heart and mind. Partially it may be because some of those things are just natural for him. I think he learnt most of his body movement, but then there are certain moves that are unique to him. I also believe that his eye movements are natural, not learnt. I love what you have said in the end, that this is only the icing. I believe his high notes are also the icing - the best I have ever heard, but still the icing. The depth is what keeps me (and probably many others) coming back. I would love to see/hear your point of view on his last performances and songs: Mademoiselle Hyde, Love Like a Dream, and Lay Down.

I really enjoyed his performance. I don’t need to know why but you are interesting.

This performance shows his dramatic skills to entertain - then add that voice!! Wow. Love your reaction. Dimash can entertain just when he steps on the stage! I learned so much from your video. Thank you.

👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 Thank you!! Brilliant expose on opera as a spectacle, and of this Dimash performance of Opera 2 in particular! You ask what opera means to me? Since my childhood, I’ve been fascinated by operas and the entire spectacle they offer of the spectrum of human emotions and behaviors. Of course I wanted to become an opera singer, and of course I never did. 😂😂 I did study classical singing and did join choirs and directed a number of children’s choirs as well as a sideline ( I became a journalist, psychiatrist and educator instead). Still that live of opera has remained and I marvel at how Dimash can incorporate some of its elements into his performances a drop at a time!!! You are right in that many people think of opera as a singing technique... it’s so much more than that!

I agree it all comes together to make the song any song he sings flow. This song is pure fun. It probably isn’t my favourite song, but I love the fact he obviously is having fun singing it. The playfulness is just very enjoyable. I also like seeing him like a mischievous kid. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with us. 😊. Opera 2 is a Vitas song. I happen to love opera. I have been to a few in NYC. I grew up though on classical music and have an undeniable enjoyment of it. I have been privileged to see many broadway shows, and music events at places like Carnegie Hall. My mother though felt being well rounded in all things was part of life. I have to say I certainly agreed with her. 😊

Dr. Marc...i loved your comments!......Regards from Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤️👏🏻

Whenever I'm asked if I like opera, my mind automatically goes to 'Flamma Flamma - Fire Requiem'. Which I love! My dad introduced me to it when I was a teen. Great vid! Thanks

Please react to Dimsh "hello". Thanks very much.

Dr. Reynolds, thank you once again for thoughtful analysis! Let me see... I have always felt that "Opera 2" is just a random name for this composition. There is nothing in music or lyrics to support it. Let me explain. What is there in the text? Let's see. "My house is ready, but I stay there alone. The door closes behind me, Autumn wind is knocking in the window, crying over me yet again. Rainstorm at night, and fog in the morning, the Sun is not hot anymore. Ancient gods are coming. Let them all gather here!". And than the refrain. The first half of second verse has the same lyrics, the second part runs like that: "That is Fate, and I cannot ask Fate for anything. I just know that the winds will howl and cry after I am gone." Even for a Russian native speaker there is no coherent message. I would have to insert my own message in that bottle to make sense out of it. The music, if anything, is closer to klezmer or cabaret music of pre-war period, rather than to any kind of classics, opera or no. It would totally fit into Goran Bregovic or Emir Kusturica soundtrack to some movie. But opera? Sorry, no! :-) Even if I tried really hard to stretch the term.

How sad that we will likely never hear Dimash perform this song again.

Thank you for commentary and analysis, it is very informative and greatly appreciated. I would like to request that you consider an analysis of the new Dimash performance of "Love is like a Dream". It should be published officially next week with better audio/video than the FanCams. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Great diagnosis DR Marc of this performance but I can't wait till you see my Favorite of his " Adagio " masterly done . Aloha

Thank you for sharing your analysis Dr. Marc! This puts a lot of things into perspective and makes sense. 👏👏

Great analysis! I love that you include all the aspects of a performance. Dimash is such a complete performer and entertainer.

I would love to see him singing queen of the night. He will make it even better. Mozart would be writing music only for him to sing.

I love your reaction expresion and smile marc!!! 😍😍😍

Great analysis...thank you....

Man, I do love your anylis! Lol! I love that you give credit to the people who pointed things out to you! You're a pleasure to listen to and to get a critic on his acting is an added bonus! You're fantastic! Thanks so very much for all the time you put into these! You're the best! Love it!

I agree with everything people have said below. That said, the one thing that makes Dimash really exceptional is who is actually is. If you haven't viewed Dimash being interviewed, you should. He is a most unlikely super star. He is quiet, sweet, humble, philosophical, and deeply spiritual. He has an intense love for his family and country. Part of one interview shows Dimash speaking as a 9 year old child. The depth and maturity of his thinking is truly mind blowing. Its more than just a high IQ, (and I'm certain it is VERY high) not many nine year old children quote poetry and reference books written by great philosophers. I think Dimash is a very old soul. He really wants to change the world, and I think he will.

I like your reaction, full of knowledge and exciting expression. i love Dimash so much and you are right he communicates the song and we can understand the song despite of the foreign language. Thank you sir.

fabulous!

My vocabs aren't enough to describe him sir 😁😁😁

Thanks for your reaction to dimash 👍🏼 to you. You give full details.😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great insight. Nice to get a professional’s perspective of this performance. You notice things “normal” people don’t catch. Thanks!

Love your detail and explanations. He is so expressive with his eyes and not a lot of people point that out. Thank you.

Респект из России!

Dr. Marc, I'm sure reacting to performers like this is very time-consuming, but I really hope you will do more reactions, especially re Dimash, but other singers, as well. I am only a listener, but I do love hearing the detail of your comments; it's really interesting. Many thanks. DKIFC/USA

Love your reaction.. and teaching. Thank you.

Thanks for this fabulous analysis. 🌷

Loved the analysis. Very exciting. You and Your pupil Sam Johnson are my favorites.

It's beautiful Dimash Vibrato ❤ in this song we love Brazil👏🇧🇷😘👏

What a fantastic review dr. Marc, you are awesome, wow!!!

Awesome Analysis, Thanks for Sharing...

thank you for this educational reaction as always.

You missed some great back room reactions when you looked away to check one of the high notes! I adore this performance. We don’t very often get to see a playful Dimash and it’s simply a joy to watch him here. He’s flirting with the audience with his eyes and his smile and his actions. It’s fantastic. Loved your reaction! Greetings from Florida.

Thank you Dr. Marc. I always learn something new from you.

This is a tremendous analyzing wow wow wooooow here you can understand how unique and special and talent in art of singing Dimash is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow.. I just watched this perfrmance which I've seen so many times in a different light . And I will never look at it the same way I have been . Thank for such an educational experience. I am looking forward to more of your Reactions on Dimash's performances. I think Opera is very intense . The singers are so passionate and larger than life in their singing .Powerful and emotional.. ✌️& 💝 I love Mario Lanza..

Wow! So informative! I would never know what is special in Dimash's performances captivating whole me, all these details are amazing. Thank you very much!

Thanks coach your reactions perfect 👏

Dankeschön für deine Reaktion!!! Grüsse aus Germany !!!

This is a fun performance. Thank you Doc Mark for your clear analysis.

Thank you for your different look at his performance. I enjoyed your analysis.

Thank you..Dr.Mark great reaction.

Thank you, this was so interesting ! I learned a lot although I watched so many reactors to Dimash ! I would love your reaction to his "daybreak bastau concert " or his new touching song " love is like a dream". Maybe you can do it and explain me, why I always have tears in my eyes when listen to it.

Thank you for this. Way deeper than the vast majority of reactions from professionals (singers, coaches, musicians, and so on)

Love your reaction, please continue to react to him he has new songs that’s even spectacular Ave Maria and Starnger. Plus old performance of Hello , Show must go on and Daididau

Please do more Dimash please

Thank you autor of this song for giving a wonderful opportunity to the singers like Vitas and Dimash to show their voices this way. I think it will live many many generations more

Thank you for letting us understand more. huge thanks. Beautiful background picture, from Hong Kong

your videos are such a highlight in my life right now. you keep upping your game… like dimash (-: i was so happy to see that you’d reacted to opera 2 not just bc i’d mentioned it in a comment before, his naughty and playful eyes, teasing us with what he had planned out for us, but also because you took it another level and taught me about this concept i’d never heard of or considered before. i’m going to be looking for that in ever performance from now on. i *love* opera and i’m finding myself more and attracted to it w/time and i realise listening to you that i’d associated it mostly with the voice and the setting, the costumes, the extravagant nature were just the dressing/flowering, to elevate it, even if it’d always felt like gilding the lily to me. but i have found myself speaking more of classically trained voices/classical singing vs referring to this type of expression as opera. i see a parallel with what you say about the visual aspect meant to catch our attention and direct it to the most important part which is the underlying art. and in a way that is how i feel about dimash’s performances. that they’re so varied and unpredictable is what makes him so enticing and keeps us coming back for more. if there is one element that is most consistent in his performances, however, it’s probably that he often starts his songs in a slow and *gentle* (edited) manner but the way it builds up and ends in the explosive manner is so similar to the passionate lovemaking with a new or favourite lover that we can’t help feel all shook up by the end. i hadn’t thought of this particular performance as opera but rather one in which dimash gets to show off his classical training. the diva dance of episode 12 may be more of that than opera 2. i didn’t know the song before nor had i seen vitas (who had composed it, i think) performing it but i couldn’t help notice the way they both present it in that cocky and self assured way (esp in this reaction video that shows them side by side ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HfN6ZK17vxU.html). i’ve read that vitas might not have performed it live like dimash and sth about how it all fell apart when it was revealed he was lip-synching it. which might explain why dimash is no longer allowed to sing it but that’s a side note. what i liked most about this performance when i first watched it was the showmanship rather than the song itself, although i’ve come to like the song with time. later, the ending became even more moving when dimash finds out that his dad (who had been secretly flown in) had been in the audience this whole time. for me the emotional reaction from both and that super long bear hug that they repeat 2 more times backstage ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HfN6ZK17vxU.html has added a lot more to the experience, especially as dimash was reportedly struggling with homesickness and finding it difficult to deal with being away from him family and land for the first time. how’s that for a spectacle (-: i just can’t wait for your next videos, esp looking at the links between the different genres of music and why i (and countless others) mostly view music as divided into 2 main categories: good music and the other kind. i still hope you’ll review dimash and sundet baygojin/baygozhin performing facebook.com/watch/?v=531156847270793 bc that one was, to me, opera. it’s one of the only ones i’ve found so far along with this one with zarina altynbayeva (also an opera singer) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0CChMk9Oi4Y.html that is more of a mish-mash really. what i wouldn’t give to watch dimash perform a whole opera some day tho… (sorry for this long-ass comment again. you get me all fired up)

Thank for the reaction. 👏😍 Kiss 💋 from Spain

I enjoy very much watching your reaction and reaction. I have learned a lot and had much fun. Thanks

I've loved your explanations about Dimash. Greetings from Portugal, Lisbon

▶▶He's fierce/dramatic on-stage, but very quiet/reserved/serious about his music, off-stage w/a quiet fun side.. ▶They asked him in an interview on his incredible *At Idol Hits-"Screaming" & Behind The Scenes* why he didn't seem excited at the incredible "fire" set he'd requested when they asked what he'd like to see..Said his personality as a man was quiet (he puts it all on the stage)!!.. ▶He has 2 degrees: Classical Music & Contemporary Music & going for his Masters in Composition (who has time)?.. ▶This incredible award-winning 6 octave singer + pianist is also a songwriter, composer, arranger, rapper, poet & multi-instrumentalist (10), fiercely proud of his country's people/culture/traditions & folk music he brings into his concerts, incl. playing diff. instruments, incl. a drum solo (?!)! ▶Opera companies wanted him, but he loves mixing genres, influenced by Lara Fabian, Pavarotti, Celine Dion & Michael Jackson, etc!
