With so much said about Dimash's technical/natural skills... his mastery of body language often gets overlooked.... there are immense lessons in his performances regarding the use of body language in setting tone, creating pace & tension, drama, etc.. He really is a very complete package when it comes to natural/technical/emotive skillsets... I only imagine the more known he becomes, the more obvious it will become just how far ahead of nearly all other singers he really is... he's a flippin' unicorn for his abilities and a chameleon in his ability/mastery of how to use them...
You're the first person to mention his manipulation of the audience. I call it playing with the audience, the analogy of fishing fits right in there, playing with us...and he does it so well...he doesn't come into our world, he reels us into his!!!
Dimash is honest. His musical instincts are genius. He's above average intelligence. A heart of gold. Passion. Yes he understand how to affect people on an emotional level because is there with us. He's not throwing anything in your face. He's inviting you to take a journey with him. He's not trying to have a stylistic voice or a trendy one. People who can't sung use that quite well. Bob Dylan. But Dimash ....even as a classically singer...is not trying to emulate anyone's style. He's just honest and highly talented. He's a master musician and vocalist. Dimash puts it all out there....but it's not always the same kind of emotion. He's a rich fabric and a deep well. Which includes humor and fun. But for the most part...Dimash is a serious individual. He saves his emotional expressiveness for the stage. Put him down with Mozart, Rembrandt, and Hemingway. How blessed we are to witness him in real time. The true essence of Dimash comes from the singer himself. The man. You can't teach that. Regardless of ones skill level.
Happy Birthday!!! I've heard that the "Asian" portion of Dimash's performance is a traditional lament and homage to the dead. The back story here is that the original singer of this piece, Batyr Shukenov, a founding member of the Kazakh band A-studio (here performing with him; the guy at the piano wrote the piece) died of a heart attack at the age of 52, and Dimash sings it in his memory. I've also heard that in a sense, this piece was a sort of "audition" with Krutoy--well, not exactly, but after Krutoy attended this performance, he started collaboration with Dimash.
Very good to see you. I still watch this all the time, love it. I am from Kansas City MO and hope that any experiences you have had in our home state have been good and will be in the future. Happy Saturday to you
@@noms341 that particular melody is traditional kazakh lament call to funeral. Yes the technique is all over middle east, north africa, india, central asia... But each culture has their own.
Dimash's father Kanat said in an interview that Dimash spends a very long time with a song absorbing and analyzing it before he is ready to sing it AND Happy Birthday!
Your comments at the beginning of the song got me to subscribe! I 100% agree with you on the choice of singing colors. It just feels like he contemplates every decision he makes thoroughly, not just choosing a breathy tone for the sake of it (like many singers -- who shall remain nameless -- do). He chooses a breathy tone because it fits a certain part (or reels you in, as you eloquently put it), even though he has a whole palette of more impressive colors to choose from.
I am so glad I discovered you, Angel. I love your investment in learning about the man. I was Dismasified on the spot when I first heard SOS over three years ago. He has opened new vistas for me and I love it when I see others with different skills exploring, as well. Happy Birthday.
Have to say it... I've been following Dimash for about 2 years and in every ( except one) reaction all the comments are so positive... even when people disagree there is no malice or bad intentions... he himself is a very humble person and I've never ( again except once) seen bad vibes.... it's wonderful we can all enjoy music and no nastiness .... just respect and appreciation xx
Dimash is a storyteller who uses his entire arsenal (technique, vocal range, body expression, style ...) as a resource to engage the audience in the story he is presenting! When we put the lyrics together, the story behind it, the feeling that it can awaken, then we understand that everything he does is not for personal exaltation, but to captivate and uplift what he is singing!
Happy belated Birthday since you already have another one coming up next month. Another great reaction. I really enjoy your perspective and informative comments.
Wow.. she leaned in to pause the video during the run and I was like.. “Pause right here and I unsubscribe right now and report you to UA-cam for harassment” 😂😂😂
I wish you, belatedly, a very happy birthday! I'm really happy to have the opportunity to hear another of your wonderful reactions to Dimash's lovely voice.
Oh, how I have dreamed of hearing Dimash sing Puccini.... I have never seen a picture of any of his sheet music nor heard much about his methodology other than he and his parents all saying that he "passes each song through his heart" when deciding whether and how to perform it. (How perfectly poetic.) I appreciate you calling that 22.5 second run a cadenza; that dignifies it in a way that it deserves much more than calling it a "run." What a glorious piece of music. I hope you have now listened to it a few times uninterrupted. Each segment is so good but the way they flow together is what makes this a true masterpiece. Thanks again for another wonderful reaction.
OMG I kept yelling at the screen "don't stop, don't stop".....😂! Your analysis is so detailed and informative. I love the way you described his emotional performance, how he draws us into his world rather than throwing his talent at the audience. The way I think about it is that his technique is so developed and perfected, when he goes on stage he is able to transcend technique and deploy it purely in the service of the song and the story. (Like Callas?) And yes this was the moment when Krutoy decided to come out of retirement to write for Dimash. Happy Birthday!
The thing I love most about Dimash is his philanthropic work. He gives millions of dollars to a variety of charities. The dude also goes to hospitals and interacts with patients. Dimash is humble and angelic
Happy birthday! Nice to see you back! His Dad said once Dimash uses every cell in his body with every song he does! And he's completely drained after every concert (you could wring out his clothes....his exact words). Dimash truly invests so much emotion in each song 💜💛❤💙
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! The last part of the song was actually to pay tribute to the dead singer - what you heard is usually something at a funeral. A-Studio is the original band that wrote the song and in (I believe) 2015 the original singer died and this was Dimash's way of paying respect to him - to call Dimash a good human being simply does NOT say what/who he is - he is "Dimash", which IMHO, is transcending in the way he thinks and sings! We are not watching someone sing, we are "seeing" the song for the first time through Dimash's eyes which is magical!
bijou, Composer is a creative profession. Of course, it is hardly possible to retire from this profession in the generally accepted sense of the word. But Igor Krutoy himself said that before meeting Dimash for the last 2-3 years he had a creative crisis and stagnation. I believe this is due to the death of Dmitry Hvorostovsky after a long serious illness. Dimash returned inspiration to Igor Krktoy, and in this sense he returned it from retirement :)
@@ju1ietta not being inspired is very different from being retired. He wasn't retired. Dimash didn't pull him out of retirment. He did and does a lot of stuff in music and entertainment in general, he's not 'just' a composer.
@Just want the Best voice but they DID meet before Sochi, not in Sochi. at least that's what both Dimash and Krutoy have said in interviews. By the time Sochi happened Krutoy knew exactly who Dimash was and he hadn't retired at that point.
@bijou, Be attentive to the text of the interlocutor. "Just want the Best voice" said so: that they met shortly before Srchi, and not in Sochi. The promoter of Igor Krutoy (Khizri) discovered the recordings of Dimash from the Singer-2017 contest, and he introduced Krutoy to these videos, offering to try cooperation with Dimash. First, there were absentee negotiations, and then in 2018 Dimash and Igor Krutoy met in person in Italy. Then Krutoy and invited Dimash to participate in "New Wave". About retirement - you don’t need to understand everything so literally. This is an allegory.
Thank you very much for the great mood that you give to all of us every time you go on the air with reactions to Dimash, or especially when you sing yourself!!! :) You have excellent vocal skills, natural charm, sense of humor and self-irony! And a special thank you for always doing everything sincerely, from the bottom of your heart! I wish you creative success and health! Stay always the same talented, positive and cheerful! Thank you for everything!!! With love from Russia, Saint Petersburg.
I'm really glad you didn't interrupt the end of the song with a comment so no worries, you let him finish and that was the right thing to do, thank you for that! and thanks for your reaction it was great!
Have seen a number of reactions by other wannabe voice coaches to Dimash. You stand alone when breaking down his music! So very well done and as much as I enjoyed Dimash perform another wonderful piece your analysis was equally enjoyable! Happy birthday my lady!
Dear Angel, Happy Birthday, Feliz Cumpleaños!!!!!My best wishes to you, may all your dreams come true and have a blessed year! Thank you for your rection, Dimash owesome as always, regards from Colombia
Dear Angel Azzara, I just joined your subscribers, as I really appreciated your reaction and your knowledge of the profession. I wish you very Happy Birthday enjoying Dimash's singing. Greetings from Canada!
This is the festival "New Wave" in Sochi (Russia). There was a competition of young performers and concerts of Russian artists. Dimash acted as a guest at the jubilee concert of the Kazakh group "A-studio". Baigali Serkebaev - the author of the song - plays the piano here. It was a phenomenal performance! Superb low notes at the beginning, unreal high notes at the end. And again the oriental tones in the song! Melismа in the finale together with the last "Дай" - 23 seconds! Dimash used kazakh singing technique. Saha people ( Russia) uses this technique too.
@@ptxdearpearsDQ don't be so certain. He's a pretty liberal muslim. Many other people close to him do drink. In his case it will probably be 'hold my Coke' since we know he loves it. 😃
Congratulations well overdue, because I saw your channel today, September 11th.He makes a mix that ends up becoming vibrato, but I already heard this song in a show, which was beautiful, with more bass.Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Hello, I’m from Brazil! 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 (traditional cazaq singing). 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. Happy Birthday!
I will add just a piece to all the information posted here by the others: His father said the ethnic part was a Yakuti technique (Yakutia, East Russia). Happy birthday dear lady Angel!
Miroslava I discussed this with Marat because I was curious abiut it. He said it is Turkic/Uzbek/Kyrgyz in origin and Dimash taught himself how to sing it. That's it. Plain and simple.
@@miroslavasuchomelova4944 I aldo hope he does. A pity the audience clapped over this. Dimash48 have a fancam from Kremlin where you can hear it beautifully
It's a great present for everybody! 💖 my congrats with your birthday! Let's all your dreams come true! 🍸🎂👋 thanks a lot for Dimash! I love your honest and professional reactions!!! You are so charming lady 😍 God bless you!
i love your reactions Angel! so much detail to absorb with Dimash. its no wonder that music schools use him as teacher aid. Please can you react to A Thousand Miles a Dream - Dimash's contribution to Classical Wings (Chinese show). the panel includes a music professor who was apparently so taken with D's performace he kept taking pictures interfering with the filming that Dimash had to sing twice! many thanks for your reactions too!
Celebrations of you, Angel! I've heard that Dimash just defended his Master's thesis, and has been approved to begin his doctoral program, in Kazakhstan!!
I think it’s really wonderful that no latter how famous he is he chooses to study close to his family- I’m sure the program there is spectacular as well, but still- he has the resources, income, and talent to study anywhere in the world and he chooses his homeland.
@@AngelAzzarraOpera, I also heard that he had been scheduled to do a residency in LA, at a jazz institute, though COVID prevented him. Perhaps, as part of his doctoral work.
@@teame51 No, it was a requirement to complete the course for Jazz and contemporary vocals- that the student study abroad. Shame, it would have helped with his English
Another belated happy birthday wish, Angel. I loved this reaction to Sinful Passion; it is a lovely, informative response to a wonderful singer's thrilling performance. TY.
I know Dimash conveys emotion without the need to understand the lyrics, but Since SOS, I noticed that with the lyrics subtitles, his switching tone and "color" becomes so much more meaningful. In this song for example, the repeated phrase: "Give me" is sung with different tone each time: he requests, he pleads, he begs, he cries, he demands etc. Absolutely mesmerizing.
Dimash uses so many colors, he keeps us guessing. That's good! Not knowing what's coming next, he baits us, keeps us in suspense. What you called a 'goat trill,' I call a 'bleat.' It involves glottal stops. It sounds like 'eh eh eh eh eh' going fast. It's a one-tone technique. What Dimash did is different. He starts it slowly, so you can hear exactly what he is doing. He's oscillating between two tones, but they're too far apart to qualify for vibrato. It's *literally* a trill. I don't think he uses any glottal stops. It's a central Asian technique, Turkic peoples in origin, I think. Kazahkstan has a *lot* of Turkic peoples, but - it's a broad category, you'll find them throughout the Middle East, central Asia and even in China. I suspect that from an identity politics standpoint, most of them identify with smaller ethnic subgroups and don't think much about the broader category. There are a number of different languages involved. (Lumping them all together is a little like characterizing some Western European languages and groups as 'Romanic.' The French don't regard themselves as Romans!) Yet there are vocal traditions among these Turkic groups that don't really exist much outside of those groups. Two-toned throat-singing and this rapid trill are examples. They have ethnic instruments not used much outside of those groups, too, such as the dombra. (Dimash plays the dombra very well, incidentally.) The technique has a name, and I've heard it, but... I'm getting old, and my memory isn't what it once was. About that long single-breath riff: Caleb Coles, an Australian singer-songwriter-musician, recently started a 'sing that riff' series of videos, and bravely, he tackled Dimash's belted upward slide and downward R&B run (though there are more influences in it than just R&B) from 'Sinful Passion.' Caleb has the range for it. He gave himself 90 minutes to study the riff, then did several takes. He shares insights. It's all very illuminating concerning what Dimash did with that single breath. If you are interested, here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/HmJmYppfNKM/v-deo.html Caleb's video isn't an hour and a half long, thankfully, thanks to the miracle of video editing. It's only 11 minutes. Cheers!
Is it similar to mogolian throat-singing technique?

3 years late, but I'm here for this reaction. I'm an aspiring producer and Dimash has recently(ish) garnered my attention and fascination. I am hellbent on learning as much as possible from and about him so that, when I find a vocalist who fits my music perfectly, I can give them clearer instruction on what I expect and then adapt. Every time I listen to Dimash, I'm hit with an emotional rollercoaster that leaves me inspired to try and produce music that would, in theory, grab his attention, or the attention of vocalists/artists just as skilled. Music that would have them WANTING to sing the song. I hope that you had a blast for your birthday and, from myself, thank you for your detail to talent.
Angel!! I love you so much!! Thank you THANK YOU for appreciating each nuance of Dimash's voice and performance!! All you're saying are right on point!! It's such a big compliment to Dimash to be admired by a great singer like you! By watching your videos, I know that you're honest and outspoken so when you give compliments, you really mean it!! If only everyone were as knowledgeable as you, Dimash would have it easy! Too bad there are many people out there who know so little about vocals that they keep on talking bad about his technique, his emotions, his performance, his talent..... HIM 😔 Plus, he's such a nice and humble person offstage, I just feel like he doesn't deserve all these hatred 😢 but what can I say? With talent comes jealousy 😔 I guess every successful person in this world has haters 🤷♀️ Sorry for being mellow here! 😅 Thank you so much for ur reaction Angel! 😘
Dear Angel, that is when Igor knew he wanted to compose several new songs for Dimash's voice. They might have never got together if he hadn't been there that night.
Heyy! Happy Birthday Angel!! We missed you!! and I loved this reaction(:my pc doesn't have emojis like my phone so can't send you a HBD bouquet). Dimash as you can tell is about smart singing, And he applies those colors and belts where they need to be without bombarding us with all that 's in his arsenal, like the fisherman smartly reeling us into his world. So good! thanks again! it's nice to have you back:) did you know Dimash just yesterday defended his masters in composition and got admitted into the PhD program. so we can really look forward to some great music in the future. can't wait!
Finally, someone has put into words what I could not.Your description of Dimash's technique is spot on. Thank you for your expertise and observation, you, girl, are amazing! I never get goose bumps for anything, but when I started listening to Dimash, well, I have them all the time!!!
Dimash has mastered breathy singing to the point where he can use it to sing pianissimo much softer than most of others who don't have that good control or can't go as soft without losing the pitch.
Happy Late Birthday Angel , wasn't it worth spending a few minutes of your times for listening to Dimash. love your reactions, and your hair which very beautiful. Sending you virtuals hugs from Montréal Canada.
I love your videos! At first due to your very detailed explanation about the mechanics of what Dimash does, then because you became a "Dear", drag a friend into that journey, now you are indulging yourself on your birthday and last but no least... cause you are gorgeous!! 😍

Happy Birthday Angel! Great reaction video. I really hope you react to Dimash’s performance of “Love is like a Dream” unless you have already and I just don’t know it. I think you’d be blown away by it.
I really enjoyed my first reaction to your reaction Angel. You are obviously highly educated in the use of voice, I love your well considered observations and hearing your understanding of how Dimash uses his amazing skill. Will be looking forward to seeing further reaction from you. Thank you. Hope you enjoyed your birthday 🌹
Happy birthday! I'm glad you recognized Krutoy. I've heard that he invited Dimash to perform at this event and that it launched their collaboration. He sings some lighter, fun pop or patriotic songs that some people grumble about. But I see that as (1) appealing to a broader audience and (2) giving him a little breather when he's singing for two hours in a concert. Two hours straight of "Sinful Passion" or "Ogni Pietra" would simply be too much work. If you listen to the same song performed at different venues, you'll see that he doesn't come up with a single styling that he repeats ad infinitem. Every concert is tailored to fit.
For these song he invited the original band who wrote the song in the 90S, the lead vocal died tragically, the melisma he song in the midlle is an ancient ritual for the dead. And yes 23 second .
@@oneofhis1979 Not arab style. Dimash's father explaned it. Turkic Tuva/Sakha style. Dimash used Kazak singing technique. You can hear it from the all Turan group. Sakha people ( Russia) uses this technique too.
Oh Lord have you heard him singing rock yet??? He does an amazing queen medley ... he has the rasp the drive... this man is endlessly fascinating and talented
Though you say you're reading captions, we're not seeing them - only Dimash. Would be good to see them. About that mystery to Dimash, how he makes us feel - it is not only his talent, technique, & training - it is his focus, his energy. There is a rare purity in him that flows through his work. He puts his whole soul/spirit/being into all of his singing, unlike others; always fully Present. ~♥~
Happy Birthday!! What a lovely present (listening to Dimash)! Dimash is very intentional about his performances so I don’t doubt that he plans all details. He’s a perfectionist, which is pretty obvious after listening to him! More Dimash, please? Ogni Pietra is an modern opera composed for him. ❤️
Angel, may you have and share many many birthdays. Especially when they bring out so much which you share. I love Paganini, but I can't out out of my mind the many that say his compositions were showoff pieces for his unique performance capabilities. I might not have had that happen for our beloved Dimash, who is also a best there is, because his humility also comes through. Ironically, because for your birthday you let yourself "take" a moment for what you need, you brought out a point for me that I've noticed in great singers but couldn't put my finger on. Paraphrasing it, you said that it's not about a singer always doing what he has to, or wants, for himself. No. Dimash does indeed introduce his color changes gradually and with tremendous forethought and consideration for the audience. I hope I hear such selflessness more. I will now be sensitive to that, and look forward to recognizing it and appreciated it. Thank you and Happy Birthday!
First of all many happy returns for the day and secondly it's was typical middle eastern and central asia sort of yodeling which you will find in folk song across the region
Happy Birthday, Girl! I think my favorite Dimash song always seems to be the one I am listening to, so I get what you mean about this might be your new favorite. I have to say and I have probably said it before you are my favorite reactor and I think it's because you have the opera background but it goes beyond that. You just express what you want to say so well. It is so appreciated. You make me feel like I understand what you are saying even though I don't have a musical background. That trill as you called it is used in a funeral song in Kasakstan and this was put in because someone involved with the band passed away so this was in his honor. There is a specific name for it but I don't know it offhand. The song was written I believe by the guy playing the piano. I have seen Dimash discussing music with his crew and they are saying what they are going to do and Dimash says I was going to do this... And just sings or kind of hums what he is going to do and of course it is going to change everything they had planned. He seems to know in his head exactly what sound or final form he wants the song to take. I wonder about his body movements. Does he picture that as well or does he feel that in the moment as he decides on how he wants the song to feel? I don't know but this guy is still amazing me and I love it! Again Happy Birthday!

The breathiness of his voice is appropriate for this song, SINFUL PASSION, intimate, beautiful.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! The last part of the song was actually to pay tribute to the dead singer - what you heard is usually something at a funeral. A-Studio is the original band that wrote the song and in (I believe) 2015 the original singer died and this was Dimash's way of paying respect to him - to call Dimash a good human being simply does NOT say what/who he is - he is "Dimash", which IMHO, is transcending in the way he thinks and sings! We are not watching someone sing, we are "seeing" the song for the first time through Dimash's eyes which is magical!
Thats amazing about the tribute :)
“Dead white guys from Germany “ 🤣😂😆🤣😂!!!
Love your reactions!
Happy birthday Angela💐🌹you're reaction is a must to watch🙏🏼seeing such a professional singer being blown away is just the best thing in the world.
The moment you noticed Igor Krutoi in the audience was the moment when he decided to return from retirement to write music for Dimash.
No, they met way before that. And he hd never retired. Guys like him never retire, and he does a ton of projects that don't involve Dimash.
bijou, Composer is a creative profession. Of course, it is hardly possible to retire from this profession in the generally accepted sense of the word. But Igor Krutoy himself said that before meeting Dimash for the last 2-3 years he had a creative crisis and stagnation. I believe this is due to the death of Dmitry Hvorostovsky after a long serious illness. Dimash returned inspiration to Igor Krktoy, and in this sense he returned it from retirement :)
@@ju1ietta
not being inspired is very different from being retired. He wasn't retired. Dimash didn't pull him out of retirment. He did and does a lot of stuff in music and entertainment in general, he's not 'just' a composer.
@Just want the Best voice but they DID meet before Sochi, not in Sochi. at least that's what both Dimash and Krutoy have said in interviews. By the time Sochi happened Krutoy knew exactly who Dimash was and he hadn't retired at that point.
@bijou, Be attentive to the text of the interlocutor. "Just want the Best voice" said so: that they met shortly before Srchi, and not in Sochi. The promoter of Igor Krutoy (Khizri) discovered the recordings of Dimash from the Singer-2017 contest, and he introduced Krutoy to these videos, offering to try cooperation with Dimash. First, there were absentee negotiations, and then in 2018 Dimash and Igor Krutoy met in person in Italy. Then Krutoy and invited Dimash to participate in "New Wave".
About retirement - you don’t need to understand everything so literally. This is an allegory.
Finally 😍 this is my favorite Dimash performance, happy birthday 🎂
He is the GIFT for all of us, for the world...😇😇😇
It just shows how good Dimash is if every song he makes is your/my new favorite, regardless the order you watch it.
Thank you very much for the great mood that you give to all of us every
time you go on the air with reactions to Dimash, or especially when you
sing yourself!!! :) You have excellent vocal skills, natural charm,
sense of humor and self-irony! And a special thank you for always doing
everything sincerely, from the bottom of your heart! I wish you creative
success and health! Stay always the same talented, positive and
cheerful! Thank you for everything!!!
With love from Russia, Saint Petersburg.
I'm really glad you didn't interrupt the end of the song with a comment so no worries, you let him finish and that was the right thing to do, thank you for that! and thanks for your reaction it was great!
Happy birthday, Angel! Good to see you back:)
The best reaction creator so far. We learn so much. 👏
Thank you so much!!!
Have seen a number of reactions by other wannabe voice coaches to Dimash. You stand alone when breaking down his music! So very well done and as much as I enjoyed Dimash perform another wonderful piece your analysis was equally enjoyable! Happy birthday my lady!
Thank you David!
The fairy voice mother is also an excellent voice coach
Wanna be voice coaches 😅🙄 a lot of the voice coach’s are not wanna be coaches
Dear Angel, Happy Birthday, Feliz Cumpleaños!!!!!My best wishes to you, may all your dreams come true and have a blessed year! Thank you for your rection, Dimash owesome as always, regards from Colombia
The Band onstage originally wrote and performed this song.
That would be Igor Krutoy, the bald guy standing to applaud first of all.
A-Studio or Studio-A, something like that.
@@vitob1882 this is a song by A-Studio, a famous Kazakh group. Igor not related to this absolutely.
@@АнастасияМих-и8в amazing and epic song ever really!!!
The arrangement is so different, it sounds like it's not the same song.
Dear Angel Azzara, I just joined your subscribers, as I really appreciated your reaction and your knowledge of the profession. I wish you very Happy Birthday enjoying Dimash's singing. Greetings from Canada!
This is the festival "New Wave" in Sochi (Russia). There was a competition of young performers and concerts of Russian artists. Dimash acted as a guest at the jubilee concert of the Kazakh group "A-studio".
Baigali Serkebaev - the author of the song - plays the piano here.
It was a phenomenal performance! Superb low notes at the beginning, unreal high notes at the end. And again the oriental tones in the song!
Melismа in the finale together with the last "Дай" - 23 seconds!
Dimash used kazakh singing technique. Saha people ( Russia) uses this technique too.
Oh Angel, I cannot express how much I appreciate your reactions. Brilliant! Thanks and Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday! This is one of my favourite Dimash songs, I've been hoping you'd react to it, looks like you have me a present as well
Happy birthday, Angel.!
It's impossible... DIMASH: hold my beer
😂😂😂
@@ptxdearpearsDQ We hear it👍
😂😂😂😂😂Im dying
Hold my mic
@@ptxdearpearsDQ don't be so certain. He's a pretty liberal muslim. Many other people close to him do drink. In his case it will probably be 'hold my Coke' since we know he loves it. 😃
You chose the right song as a birthday gift, enjoy it few more times! Many happy returns of the day! Huge fan of your reactions!
Hello! I missed your reactions 💕 Welcome, back. 🌸
Edit: Happy Birthday 🎁🎂🎉
Congratulations well overdue, because I saw your channel today, September 11th.He makes a mix that ends up becoming vibrato, but I already heard this song in a show, which was beautiful, with more bass.Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Nice reaction to Dimash singing Sinful Passion. Great performance by Dimash. Greetings from Amsterdam.
AMAZING. BEAUTIFUL. DIMASH IS INCREDIBLE. Thanks
Hello, I’m from Brazil! 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 (traditional cazaq singing). 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. Happy Birthday!
You are right . It is funeral song called Zhoktau, when women sing to the dead relatives
Happy birthday Angel .... welcome back. Glad to see you back
I will add just a piece to all the information posted here by the others: His father said the ethnic part was a Yakuti technique (Yakutia, East Russia). Happy birthday dear lady Angel!
Unlikely.
Miroslava I discussed this with Marat because I was curious abiut it. He said it is Turkic/Uzbek/Kyrgyz in origin and Dimash taught himself how to sing it. That's it. Plain and simple.
@@JustMyOpinion1010 O.K., thanks! He could use it somewhere again, it is cool!
It’s like yodeling with country singers in the u.s
@@miroslavasuchomelova4944 I aldo hope he does. A pity the audience clapped over this. Dimash48 have a fancam from Kremlin where you can hear it beautifully
It's a great present for everybody! 💖 my congrats with your birthday! Let's all your dreams come true! 🍸🎂👋 thanks a lot for Dimash! I love your honest and professional reactions!!! You are so charming lady 😍 God bless you!
I've watched so many reactions to this song, and no one could get and elaborate this performance as detailed as you iust did!
Happy birthday Angel ,nice present for all of us. 🥰
i love your reactions Angel! so much detail to absorb with Dimash. its no wonder that music schools use him as teacher aid. Please can you react to A Thousand Miles a Dream - Dimash's contribution to Classical Wings (Chinese show). the panel includes a music professor who was apparently so taken with D's performace he kept taking pictures interfering with the filming that Dimash had to sing twice! many thanks for your reactions too!
Okay, so I'm bingeing on Dimash reactions. This was very worthwhile.
Goshhh I love your reactions to Dimash. They are a treat for me! Wishing you the best.
The run at the end was around 25 seconds on one breath blew me away when i heard it as well x
Celebrations of you, Angel! I've heard that Dimash just defended his Master's thesis, and has been approved to begin his doctoral program, in Kazakhstan!!
I think it’s really wonderful that no latter how famous he is he chooses to study close to his family- I’m sure the program there is spectacular as well, but still- he has the resources, income, and talent to study anywhere in the world and he chooses his homeland.
@@AngelAzzarraOpera, I also heard that he had been scheduled to do a residency in LA, at a jazz institute, though COVID prevented him. Perhaps, as part of his doctoral work.
@@teame51 No, it was a requirement to complete the course for Jazz and contemporary vocals- that the student study abroad. Shame, it would have helped with his English
Another belated happy birthday wish, Angel. I loved this reaction to Sinful Passion; it is a lovely, informative response to a wonderful singer's thrilling performance. TY.
I know Dimash conveys emotion without the need to understand the lyrics, but Since SOS, I noticed that with the lyrics subtitles, his switching tone and "color" becomes so much more meaningful. In this song for example, the repeated phrase: "Give me" is sung with different tone each time: he requests, he pleads, he begs, he cries, he demands etc. Absolutely mesmerizing.
Happy birthday Angel! That was a great reaction, glad to see a new one from you!!
Welcome BAAAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!!
(I'm kinda screaming) I missed these. 😍
Happy birthday, Angel!!!! You look amazing!!!! I'm so thrilled to see you back with another amazing Dimash reaction!
Angel! Happy birthday!! 😘😘😘 You did a present for us instead of vice versa. Thanks for the reaction. Love you! Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Happy birthday, love your technical analysis and reaction.
Dimash uses so many colors, he keeps us guessing. That's good! Not knowing what's coming next, he baits us, keeps us in suspense.
What you called a 'goat trill,' I call a 'bleat.' It involves glottal stops. It sounds like 'eh eh eh eh eh' going fast. It's a one-tone technique.
What Dimash did is different. He starts it slowly, so you can hear exactly what he is doing. He's oscillating between two tones, but they're too far apart to qualify for vibrato. It's *literally* a trill. I don't think he uses any glottal stops.
It's a central Asian technique, Turkic peoples in origin, I think. Kazahkstan has a *lot* of Turkic peoples, but - it's a broad category, you'll find them throughout the Middle East, central Asia and even in China. I suspect that from an identity politics standpoint, most of them identify with smaller ethnic subgroups and don't think much about the broader category. There are a number of different languages involved. (Lumping them all together is a little like characterizing some Western European languages and groups as 'Romanic.' The French don't regard themselves as Romans!) Yet there are vocal traditions among these Turkic groups that don't really exist much outside of those groups. Two-toned throat-singing and this rapid trill are examples. They have ethnic instruments not used much outside of those groups, too, such as the dombra. (Dimash plays the dombra very well, incidentally.)
The technique has a name, and I've heard it, but... I'm getting old, and my memory isn't what it once was.
About that long single-breath riff: Caleb Coles, an Australian singer-songwriter-musician, recently started a 'sing that riff' series of videos, and bravely, he tackled Dimash's belted upward slide and downward R&B run (though there are more influences in it than just R&B) from 'Sinful Passion.' Caleb has the range for it. He gave himself 90 minutes to study the riff, then did several takes. He shares insights. It's all very illuminating concerning what Dimash did with that single breath. If you are interested, here's the link:
ua-cam.com/video/HmJmYppfNKM/v-deo.html
Caleb's video isn't an hour and a half long, thankfully, thanks to the miracle of video editing. It's only 11 minutes.
Cheers!
That video is very good and puts into perspective Dimash's mastery.
Dimash demonstrates his Middle-Eastern "yodel" in his performance of the Lionel Ritchie song "Hello." It's incredible!
You are right . It is traditional kazakh funeral song called Zhoktau
It is called "Joqtau"
Is it similar to mogolian throat-singing technique?
3 years late, but I'm here for this reaction. I'm an aspiring producer and Dimash has recently(ish) garnered my attention and fascination. I am hellbent on learning as much as possible from and about him so that, when I find a vocalist who fits my music perfectly, I can give them clearer instruction on what I expect and then adapt. Every time I listen to Dimash, I'm hit with an emotional rollercoaster that leaves me inspired to try and produce music that would, in theory, grab his attention, or the attention of vocalists/artists just as skilled. Music that would have them WANTING to sing the song.
I hope that you had a blast for your birthday and, from myself, thank you for your detail to talent.
Angel!! I love you so much!! Thank you THANK YOU for appreciating each nuance of Dimash's voice and performance!! All you're saying are right on point!!
It's such a big compliment to Dimash to be admired by a great singer like you! By watching your videos, I know that you're honest and outspoken so when you give compliments, you really mean it!!
If only everyone were as knowledgeable as you, Dimash would have it easy! Too bad there are many people out there who know so little about vocals that they keep on talking bad about his technique, his emotions, his performance, his talent..... HIM 😔
Plus, he's such a nice and humble person offstage, I just feel like he doesn't deserve all these hatred 😢 but what can I say? With talent comes jealousy 😔 I guess every successful person in this world has haters 🤷♀️
Sorry for being mellow here! 😅 Thank you so much for ur reaction Angel! 😘
Saying this before watching the video, this is an amazing performance and you have made a wise choice. Happy birthday!
Dear Angel, that is when Igor knew he wanted to compose several new songs for Dimash's voice. They might have never got together if he hadn't been there that night.
Heyy! Happy Birthday Angel!! We missed you!! and I loved this reaction(:my pc doesn't have emojis like my phone so can't send you a HBD bouquet). Dimash as you can tell is about smart singing, And he applies those colors and belts where they need to be without bombarding us with all that 's in his arsenal, like the fisherman smartly reeling us into his world. So good! thanks again! it's nice to have you back:) did you know Dimash just yesterday defended his masters in composition and got admitted into the PhD program. so we can really look forward to some great music in the future. can't wait!
Happy birthday! Thank you for your reaction to Sinful Passion!
Finally, someone has put into words what I could not.Your description of Dimash's technique is spot on.
Thank you for your expertise and observation, you, girl, are amazing!
I never get goose bumps for anything, but when I started listening to Dimash, well, I have them all the time!!!
Dimash has mastered breathy singing to the point where he can use it to sing pianissimo much softer than most of others who don't have that good control or can't go as soft without losing the pitch.
Happy Late Birthday Angel , wasn't it worth spending a few minutes of your times for listening to Dimash. love your reactions, and your hair which very beautiful. Sending you virtuals hugs from Montréal Canada.
Happy Birthday :) Love your reactions. Hugs from Norway :)
I love your videos! At first due to your very detailed explanation about the mechanics of what Dimash does, then because you became a "Dear", drag a friend into that journey, now you are indulging yourself on your birthday and last but no least... cause you are gorgeous!! 😍
Happy Birthday!! And thank you for another great reaction!

Happy Birthday Angel! Great reaction video. I really hope you react to Dimash’s performance of “Love is like a Dream” unless you have already and I just don’t know it. I think you’d be blown away by it.
Happy Birthday, what better present to give yourself 'DIMASH' have a great day ❤
I really enjoyed my first reaction to your reaction Angel. You are obviously highly educated in the use of voice, I love your well considered observations and hearing your understanding of how Dimash uses his amazing skill. Will be looking forward to seeing further reaction from you. Thank you. Hope you enjoyed your birthday 🌹
Happy birthday!! Stay safe and healthy. Remember to wash your hands for over 20 seconds, or a single Dimash phrase.
You made me lol 😂😂😂
Hahahahha that was great :D
Yeah that was a good treat.Happy Birthday.I always enjoy your deep professional reaction to Dimash.Thank you for doing this and have good time today
Thank you for your reaction to Dimash!!!
So good to have you back, and Happy Birthday! :) Love your reaction/analysis(s). This is just so beautiful and heartfelt.
Happy birthday! I'm glad you recognized Krutoy. I've heard that he invited Dimash to perform at this event and that it launched their collaboration. He sings some lighter, fun pop or patriotic songs that some people grumble about. But I see that as (1) appealing to a broader audience and (2) giving him a little breather when he's singing for two hours in a concert. Two hours straight of "Sinful Passion" or "Ogni Pietra" would simply be too much work. If you listen to the same song performed at different venues, you'll see that he doesn't come up with a single styling that he repeats ad infinitem. Every concert is tailored to fit.
Happy belated birthday! Great insight on how he pulls u in instead of just throwing all his emotions at u.
For these song he invited the original band who wrote the song in the 90S, the lead vocal died tragically, the melisma he song in the midlle is an ancient ritual for the dead. And yes 23 second .
Arabic funeral dirge.
Debbie Gauthier Central Asian as well.

@@oneofhis1979 Not arab style. Dimash's father explaned it. Turkic Tuva/Sakha style. Dimash used Kazak singing technique. You can hear it from the all Turan group. Sakha people ( Russia) uses this technique too.
Oh Lord have you heard him singing rock yet??? He does an amazing queen medley ... he has the rasp the drive... this man is endlessly fascinating and talented
Which video? I cant find his queen's perfomance, except "The show must go on"

Happy Birthday! I can’t see the subtitles on his video, but appreciate your response to this extraordinary song! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
That was beautiful and insightful. Thanks
Such a great reaction Angel....Happy Birthday...This was an awesome performance.
Though you say you're reading captions, we're not seeing them - only Dimash. Would be good to see them.
About that mystery to Dimash, how he makes us feel - it is not only his talent, technique, & training - it is his focus, his energy. There is a rare purity in him that flows through his work. He puts his whole soul/spirit/being into all of his singing, unlike others; always fully Present.
~♥~
Love your reactions and analysis Angel! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!! What a lovely present (listening to Dimash)!
Dimash is very intentional about his performances so I don’t doubt that he plans all details. He’s a perfectionist, which is pretty obvious after listening to him!
More Dimash, please? Ogni Pietra is an modern opera composed for him. ❤️
Angel, may you have and share many many birthdays. Especially when they bring out so much which you share. I love Paganini, but I can't out out of my mind the many that say his compositions were showoff pieces for his unique performance capabilities. I might not have had that happen for our beloved Dimash, who is also a best there is, because his humility also comes through. Ironically, because for your birthday you let yourself "take" a moment for what you need, you brought out a point for me that I've noticed in great singers but couldn't put my finger on. Paraphrasing it, you said that it's not about a singer always doing what he has to, or wants, for himself. No. Dimash does indeed introduce his color changes gradually and with tremendous forethought and consideration for the audience. I hope I hear such selflessness more. I will now be sensitive to that, and look forward to recognizing it and appreciated it.
Thank you and Happy Birthday!
First of all many happy returns for the day and secondly it's was typical middle eastern and central asia sort of yodeling which you will find in folk song across the region
Happy birthday!!! I love your reactions, so educational. Hope you enjoyed yourself.
Lol you couldn't stop cuz he doesn't breathe.
HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY
Happy Birthday, Girl! I think my favorite Dimash song always seems to be the one I am listening to, so I get what you mean about this might be your new favorite.
I have to say and I have probably said it before you are my favorite reactor and I think it's because you have the opera background but it goes beyond that. You just express what you want to say so well. It is so appreciated. You make me feel like I understand what you are saying even though I don't have a musical background.
That trill as you called it is used in a funeral song in Kasakstan and this was put in because someone involved with the band passed away so this was in his honor. There is a specific name for it but I don't know it offhand. The song was written I believe by the guy playing the piano.
I have seen Dimash discussing music with his crew and they are saying what they are going to do and Dimash says I was going to do this... And just sings or kind of hums what he is going to do and of course it is going to change everything they had planned. He seems to know in his head exactly what sound or final form he wants the song to take. I wonder about his body movements. Does he picture that as well or does he feel that in the moment as he decides on how he wants the song to feel? I don't know but this guy is still amazing me and I love it!
Again Happy Birthday!
