Vocal coach reacts to Dimash: Story of one sky - FanCam version

Yet again, Dimash left me speechless. But I thought I've seen it all!

This is a fan camera clip taken from a real live performance in Almaty, Sep 22.

[samorealnoreal]

He is my friend and i can say whenever he do a concert he always says that he was not so good, he works really hard... and he like a person is very different from other people, he talks about some stuff based on nature and and...he is very focused and just what i can say is that he is a very gentle soul, and very smart veeryy..

[mellomrom]

It must hurt a lot to envy someone so much. There is one thing to not like a song/ work and a whole other to feel relieved and even happy that someone made a mistake or make sarcastic commnets. Linor, you showed some of your true colors specially at the end of the video.

[PD-irmz]

When Dimash premiered this song at his concert he gave a speech prior to singing the song. I think that speech is important and gives context to the song and story:


"Many thanks dear friends, before I perform the next song, let me say a few words. Thank you very much.

We, the people sitting in this stadium, each of us is different, not totally alike one another, but we are all God's children, each of us with different talents.
And, as I mentioned just now, right now is a bad time. In fact, I am not satisfied with the present situation.
I have not seen how such situations evolved in the past, therefore I don't know what will happen next.
But many people are suffering today because of a few individuals, it's really true.
We, we the adults, consider ourselves to be "smarter" than the small children and innocents, but while we do our best to teach and educate our children,
we forget that we also have some things to learn from those children.
They are pure-hearted, kind, friendly, untainted and without egos and their love for people are pure. Young children have such qualities.
I started writing this song I'm about to perform, three years ago.
Generally speaking, my main purpose in writing this work is to call for peace in the world.
It's a small composition that has burst out from deep within my heart.
To tell you truth, many thanks to god and with your wishes I traveled to many parts of the world and met many different people during my tours.
One thing I understood is that if you look at ordinary people, there is no such thing as a bad nationality, there is no bad nationality!
I don't need to tell you what you already know about the reason for mentioning the topic of nationality here...
Let there be peace in the world, Let there be peace. Let there be no war.
Let no people, let no nationality, let no country suffer!
Because after all, ordinary individuals, ordinary people are not at fault.
The truth of the matter is, no nordinary person is guilty of starting a war!
That's why the next song I'll be performing in your honor is about our common fate under one sky, it's called "The Story of One Sky".
Hope you like it."

All the voices he does here are not for showing off, they relate to what is happening in the song, he is telling a story, and it's an emotionally devastating story and he is feeling everything (he is the one who composed it). He is crying, begging for peace. he is not having fun in the sense of he is merry or happy, he is just letting his emotions out, crying out to be heard.

If you watch the video the song, chanting, melismas will make sense. Nothing is not for a reason. Dimash gifting us with this Masterpiece. I was in Almaty when he sang this song for the first time. Note he sang this after 3 hours of performing. And I was very close to this fancam. It was stunning! He gave his all. A live performance by Dimash is a treasured gift. But I would suggest you to watch the video with better audio. Thanks for the reaction. Take care

[strimart]

Я была на этот концерте. Вся арена была захвачена этими эмоциями и в конце плакали вместе с Димашем. И от увиденного и от прочувствованного, и от ощущения, что являешься свидетелем события сверхмирового уровня. Уверена, это выступление войдёт в музыкальную историю и будет рассматриваться слушателями и критиками по секундам. Шедевр

[silviasabato]

Our beloved ambassador for peace in the world has done well with his masterpiece, thank you Dimash !!!

[иринаибрагимова-тс]

Linor, dear, you should definitely watch the clip, then everything will become clear. It was Dimash's solo concert in Kazakhstan, in Almaty. 35.000 spectators from 68 countries.

[СветланаВасильева-ет]

Линор обязательно посмотрите клип этой песни!Я уже не могу смотреть без слез😭
Димаш наш Ангел хранитель🥰😇🎵💫🌐💃💥💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Hi Linor, I saw another reaction by you to Dimash where you said something like: Can not he sing in a normal way, without using all his register or all his resources. Maybe is boring for him to do that? The way that you act in this new reaction, remind me of that. I understand that Dimash's huge talent can create a confused impact on people who dedicate their lives to music. It can be very hard to "swallow" for some and can even "saturate" to others. But the real thing is that Dimash is unique and he chose the wright way to express his uniqueness trough the neoclassical singing style.
The freedom that Dimash has as a singer, due his wide register, due the domain of the techniques, dynamics and genres; the freedom that his youth, his creativity and musical knowledge give him; the freedom that he has as and independent artist, allows him to do whatever he wants, show us something out of the ordinary.
And I say, in a world as molded and limited in all aspects, how not to appreciate his desire to experiment, his passion, his courage? May Dimash still being himself, may break molds, old visions and mental structures, may create new paths in music and singing, may him be great and aggrandize us. That's why he was born for.

Thank you for your reaction again ❤️ Please consider watching the official Music Video, but... Let's say, in private, not in front of a camera, it's very, very emotional and heartbreaking beautiful... This is Dimash Qudaibergen's message to the world, and it's shredding your heart to pieces.

Sitting in the audience has been one of the most intense, emotionally overwhelming experiences I ever had in a concert, ever! We sat there bawling... This Requiem is just... Oooofff... 🥺

I consider his message to mankind the best closing to a work like this to ever be imagined... Nothing to add to this.... We're choosing life ❤️

[teresaz-l]

Linor, wunderschöne Frau. Der Live-Auftritt hat dich sprachlos gemacht. Nur das offizielle Musikvideo gibt Dir Klarheit und Verständnis, um was es sich handelt in diesem Lied. Die Veränderungen in der Farben und Dynamik in seine Stimme, seine Leidenschaft und Hingabe werden verständlicher. Danke für die wunderbare Reaktion. Ich habe die genossen.❤Die Musik hat Dimash selbst geschrieben und nicht nur die Musik. Er spielt auch in diesem Clip.

[sadyworthleyDQ]

That's why you need to watch the video first. He was not showing off... it was a calling to prayer. He's showing the pain he feels.

[жаннаомск]

Linor, посмотрите клип и Вам станет понятно какой посыл Димаш вложил в свое произведение! В этом мини фильме много скрытого символизма и религиозных отсылок! И в контексте фильма каждая музыкальная часть совпадает с визуальным рядом!!

[SaraKvammen-txqc]

I'm still amazed that many reactors do not check the story behind the songs first...especially in this piece, it's the most important.The message that he is trying to get across is so important to Dimash

[chriskorn]

I think, we will never have seen it all from Dimash, because he is developping all the time, creating something new. This one literally shocked me. There is so much intensity, grief, wild desperation, the will to live, anger and heavenly tones inbetween, so much emotions, not only techniques. Dimash really is on another level. But the main thing is the message: We need peace to survive and to live fulfilled lives, to give our values to the next generation and don`t destroy the future of the children and the whole planet. We need peace!

[rutakudrjasova]

For full understanding you have to watch all MV with subtitles. It will make sense. It's very powerful message in this song and video together. By the way, Dimash composed the song and wrote script for MV.

[ВалентинаКузнецова-тк]

Это песня - молитва о трагедии и боли. Поэтому такие сильные эмоции. Посмотрите видео, это не клип, это короткий фильм - шедевр, и вам все станет понятно.

[anniebygrave]

Thank you for your vocal analysis of this song, it is truly wonderful.

The lyrics are heartbreaking and he knows it and he feels it and it breaks his heart as he sings it. He has in his head the story of his music video as well as what is happening right now in the world, and he is distressed by it. It is painful. You can see it is not just an act. This really is his soul showing, it's just that he has the techniques and discipline to be able to hold it together (enough) and perform and sing for us the audience. The vocalise in the middle are all the sounds of the different religions across the world. Muslim call to prayer, Buddhist Ohm, Kazakh funeral melismas, with the Christian church bells in the background. His voice flies to God and begs for help.

Now that you have seen this, it is really really important to watch the official music video too and to read the lyrics on screen. You have to understand it to get the most out of this song. Please please watch it. Everybody in the world needs to see this. It is very special.

But I promise you, it will shock you.
