Voice Teacher Reacts to Dimash - Sinful Passion 

I feel that the proudest thing one can do as a vocalist is shock Sam Johnson. I feel like most people, even other vocal coaches, watching singers are like "Wow!" on so many parts. Meanwhile Sam is like "Ok cool, so this is what he's doing...". Dude has definitely seen A LOT of singing in his time.

Me: *Dimash has barely started singing and i'm bawling my eyes out* Sam: Thats a nice keyboard

"he's very good... at singing" hahahaha understatement of the century

"He is very good at singing." - Sam Johnson

We see Dimash We click! #Dears

Just incredible. He fcking did that note for 22 secs with riffs and runs on at least Bb5. That's crazy

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 Arab technique (or traditional cazaq singing, called Joqtaw), is a funeral lament, paying homage to the dead vocalist: Brilliant! The song was originally performed in 1998 and the band's name is A'Studio. The dead singer 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 Serkebyev, who is the keyboardist with long hair, which we see in the video accompanying Dimash.

Is it really wrong that I like his lows much more than his highs? I know his highs are out of this world, but his lows are the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

10:59 "He's very good at singing... as is demonstrated by the performance we just watched." Ahahahaha most accurate summary ever. Thanks for another great reaction Sam! Love how you dissect these performances :)

God: how much breath/voice control do you want? Dimash: YES

Sam: "He's very good at singing" You heard it here, folks.

my GOD, he started at 10:20 and finished that note at 10:43

This is another artist whose music I've been introduced to through this channel. He is wonderful.

This is my favorite performance of his so far.

"He is very good at singing which is demonstrated in the performance that we just watched." When Sam gets blown away by Dimash and can't think of what else to say in the moment.

Dimash - the best male vocalist to have ever lived.

That moment when you really need to take a breath after all that high notes dimash is singing

OH HELLO! woke up not feeling so well but saw sam johnson reacted to dimash!!! :) ahh soo excited

10:28-10:43 I think we lost you for a few moments :D I don't blame you, that's what he does to all of us! Especially in this song, probably my favourite Dimash performance so far.

The scary thing is that I do not listen to this kind of music at all. But he is simply amazing. I cannot do anything else but to remain speechless and intimately shocked.

the style that you like is from central Asia. Harmonic chant or difonic chant, Consists of a sound reverberation (generated between the pharynx and the mouth) that produces two or more simultaneous sounds with a slight variation (around a harmonic). In some cases, this variation can be modulated independently. Who do it until today are the Mongols and if it is too hard to do, I really love your analysis and seriousness. Thank you!

I see dimash I click

Please, more of Dimash performances🙏🙏🙏

His voice is insane and that agility!

I have been waiting so long for this

Please react to Diva Dance is one of the most hard song off all time and he do it amazing

I seriously have learned so much more about singing from these reactions videos than actual singing technique tips/tutorial videos, thank you so much

*Dimash knows well how to manipulate with his voice in the best way a vocalist can.. & you absolutely know how to react to such a vocalist in the best way a music teacher can.* *You warm many hearts with this reaction, Sam .. Appreciated.*

That run toward the end is just masterful. All the right notes.

Talented singer

You respected that whole 22 seconds unlike other react videos and i'm grateful for that, because I think that part must be heard completely to appreciate the feeling he's trying to express. I really like your videos, I can't comprehend some things because my main language is spanish but your analysis are objective without falling in the typical exaggerated gestures or rumble constantly, you go right to the point and I think that's what makes your reactions so interesting. Thank you.

Dimash is amazingly talented. I am awestruck by his range.

Hello Sam. Another great reaction and analysis. Isn’t Dimash an absolutely accomplished singer? I just love all the colours his voice has and the fact that he gives as much importance to emotion as technique. AND making it look effortless. It’s always lovely to hear your comments.

Both Sam and Dimash are just soo adorable!!

One of my favorite performances by Dimash. Thanks for the breakdown.

The skill of Dimash is so so high that he can play with his voice getting so low that almost touches whispering without crossing that line. The only useful way I can describe that mastery is to picture it as fighter jets that fly few meters above ground to avoid radar detection

YAY!! more Dimash 😊

Hey Sam. Thank you very much for not disregarding my yesterday’s request. very pleased that you read our comments. really love your reactions. Today you look tired. rest a little more. Do not pay attention to negative comments. we support your channel. DIMASH AS ALWAYS GREAT! We'll very glad if you contn. the react. to Dimash. of course i press 👍

At 10:35 , exactly the same reaction. The level of control going up and down ( especially down ) is out of this world. Thank you Sam, for bringing Dimash into my life through your previous reaction video. ❤️ Peace and love from Greece! Love your channel 🙂

Hello.dimash is my favourite,sweet-heart wonder😙

My friend knows I'm a big fan of your videos and sometimes we watch them together, and whenever she happens to hear me sing she always whispers 'Dimash is quaking'

Liked even before the reaction started. More Dimash please. 😇

*”He very good at singing...” understatement of the century!* 😉

Dimash is just...great! his voice simple attracts you without you even knowing! I fell in love with his voice through Sam! with dimash, you can *never* pick a favourite performance. Simple because each and every performance is perfect! I have a lot of love and support for dimash! Thank you, Sam, thank you for introducing me to this angel!

Dimash and Sam, my two favorite people! Yay!!

Finally!!!!! Nice react video

Yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy This made me extremely happy 😍😍😍😍😍

His voice is an angelic masterpiece ! Greetings from Greece! So perfect so moving and healing for the soul! My god he is unique

Love your analysis. ❤️ This is by far my favorite performance by Dimash. He does everything well but Sinful Passion just has it all (for me) .... ❤️

Думал ли, Димаш,этот феноменальный ребенок,что каждую его песню будут разбирать по частям,по нотам музыканты со всего света.

Dimash is a classically trained virtuoso. All we can do is sit back and enjoy! ❤❤❤

You and Tara Simon are great as vocal coaches

thanks for introducing great performers to us

Sam Johnson and Tara Simon reacted to Dimash on the same day? Feels like it's my birthday xD

Thank you Sam, I enjoyed your reaction to our lovely Dimash! I love Dimash so much! ❤

You introduced me to Dimash months ago and he's one of my favorite singers now! Love your channel!

Great reaction ...Thanks....It is very interesting to hear your comments on artists like Dimash....unbelievable voice, ...unbelievable song.....love it...

love your reaction :) Loved that amazing performance with Dimash! Thx for another great reaction... respect your words!

You are great Mister voice coach absolutely fun and pleasant to watch and so generous with your words what a nice man

It rare to see sam excited over a video. Shows how great dimash is

WOW! Super. Thank you.

Yay! Dimash again :D

I'm a singer and Love your charisma and teaching! So didactic! greetings from Brazil!!!!

Thank you so much for this reaction! I really like your reactions because you really explain what he is doing vocally. Please keep reacting to more Dimash!

I love your videos. When the notification said Dimash I went crazy.

Interesting and informative, Sam 👍🏼💕

Dimash is super. He has absolut control of his voice. He's a phenomenon

With every compliment from the reactor, I am nodding my head going "yeahhh, that's my boy" like a proud mother

I am so happy right now :D Thank you!!!

Sam, thank you very much. Very analytical reaction with detailed portion of each episode of his performance. Watched Tara's reaction on this song today as well. Both of you have great analytical skills on voices. Thanks you and please react on future performances of Dimash

Dimash is so far the best singer in the world... Thank you for your reaction. Big hug from DKIFC/Madagascar

I can’t believe that I discovered him through you channel, went to 3 of his concerts and has 2 more to go to this year and 3 in March. Can’t thank you enough for the first reaction you did about him ❤️❤️❤️

Wow ! Finally, i wait this reaction so long, please react more Dimash

I loved so much your reaction and all the professional comments :)

Ok but like he’s incredibly fit as well

"He is very good at singing" made my day 😂

Dimash is not from this world.

Beautiful

Wild ride! Love this song. Thank you for great video reaction.

"He's very good at singing" - Sam Johnson 2018 on Dimash ^^

10:00 "that's cool" I don't even know why I laughed

I'm 15 and I'm falling in love with that man.

Dimash is amazing! I don´t know anyone better that him. It´s so nice seeing you, someone who actually understands the things he´s doing with his voice be so amazed! I mean, how could you not be amazed by dimash😅

Really appreciate your take on usage of different register, where you said we are missing the point if all we are doing is based on which register we want to go for, rather than overall tone and expression we are looking for. Don't EVER make your videos shorter when it comes to pointers like this!! Really enjoyed it!

Thank you for this video. You look very tired today, I hope you’re feeling ok. Hugs from Australia.

Glad to see you again reacting to Dimash! Excelente análisis.

Here’s a dimash performance in China that I bet nobody has watched or seen or reacted to unless you read Chinese. It’s hard for his American or Uk fans to access because the title is in Chines, but I figured it out and now you can watch the best Dimash performance ever. I’ve watched over 50 Dimash performances and I can tell you that this ranks ( with me) as his best. The outpouring of emotions is beyond amazing-not from this earth, not from this planet, not from this galaxy.. but somewhere celestial where the angels reside. Please RU-vid ( In This Exact Sequence) : “Dimash 20170610 oppo” It’s the first one with Chinese lettering a little over 6 minute. You will thank me for finding this rare one and reacting.

Oh my God Sam your analysis is amazing and your reactions is priceless. Dimash voice and performance is incredible. Wow. Thank you so much. See you soon. Hopefully more on Dimash analysis and reactions.

Sam, the only thing I know/knew about music was I guess, words and how they played with the tune I liked. Since watching your reaction videos I’ve started to listen for the technique, the choices that artists have chosen to convey and “color” their music. It’s opened up a whole new world when listening to music. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I really enjoy your videos. You give us so much information to add to the joy of listening. ♥️

what the - - so so fantastic - thanks Sam! - more please!

Yayy, I've been hoping you'd go through this song for a little while now so I was super happy to see it when I got home today. Thanks for another great video! I always feel like I learn so much.

Thank You No clue about singing.... All I know is this singer is telling a story through his singing. He can connect with anyone.. I thank you for explaining.

I've been waiting so much for this! Thank you so much for the reaction, Sam! Can you please do a reaction video to his performance, "The Love of Tired Swans" and "My Heart Will Go On"? Worth to try 😊

Finally we need more!

he can do vibrato above e trust me lol. It's a style choice he does. I've actually been to his Krutoy gala where he did Ogni Pietra live, and vibrated above that very naturally and strongly. I don't think anyone was sure whether it was a very skilled female soprano singing in the background or him lol.

Hydrate hydrate hydrate! 😂

Thank you Sam! I absolutely loved some of your expressions when he did the awesome runs together with his high notes. You really hear ALL the subtleties in his voice indicating you are in your element with this channel. Not only with Dimash but all your critiques.

You know Sam, I start my day in the office with watching your latest review. Even before my first morning coffee!!! That says a lot about how much joy you bring to my day. and about my priorities :):):) Thank you for being there each and every morning (different time zones). Greetings from Poland!

This was super interesting to watch! *continues the binge watch*

It seems like ages I've been waiting to see if you would react to Sinful Passion, and today you do! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your analysis of this vocal. It was very informative and educational. Thank you, Sam!
