Update: Several people have commented that he was ill in this performance! Wow, what a performance, especially considering he's ill!

To be able to sing like that when you're sick is even more remarkable. He really had health problems at the time.

[rutakudrjasova]

Nice reaction. Thanks. I personally like better other version, but never mind. Both are beautiful.
Instrument is called Kobiz. It is Kazakh traditional Instrument.

I'm totally surprised that you got more requests for this version. Dimash was ill for this performance and was certainly not at his best----which is what explains the nasal sounding vocals and several off-key moments. The original version is certainly more polished and "perfect" since he was in perfect health, so I'm happy to hear you plan to react to that one as well. I've been enjoying watching you get to know him.

Only Dimash can sing at that level while sick. He is always incredibly Impressive! Your reaction was great too 🙂

[DQ_Mine]

Dimash can TOTALLY imitate the kobyz! He did at a rehearsal. I could hardly believe it!

[gilbertvigani]

I really enjoyed your technical review of this performance !! Dimash deserves being analysed only from real profesionist like you!! Well done.
Greetings from Albania 🇦🇱

Thank you for another very accomplished analyze of Dimash. I rarely watch reactions any longer but you''re definitiley worth it. Greetings from Sweden.

I had never heard this version of Stranger. It is an amazing performance considering his illness but I have to admit to liking the New Wave version better. By the way, I love watching your very expressive face! I am enjoying your reactions very much!

[natlisan]

You've heard Dimash's lowest note, now you have to hear his highest which is off the keyboard!😉

[hitomiochiai]

Its a 2 stringed instrument called a Kobyz or Qobyz. If you had chosen the New Wave version, you would have seen it.
If you can believe it, Dimash had a head cold during this performance. Yes, you are right, it's listen to the voice. He says that in a few performances. If you want to hear Dimash's top note, listen to the song Unforgettable Day when he performed it at Gakku. Again he wasn't feeling 100%, but as a professional, he performed.

The orchestra is simply amazing with all the key changes. 👏👏👏👏

As an 82 year old "Dear" and retired singer/performer/vocal teacher, I greatly enjoy your reaction, analyzes, and method of presentation. Thanks so much.❤

[theresamsagarese]

His highest note that I've heard him sing is a D8. If you would like to hear him sing a D8, go to the Gakku concert and listen to him sing Unforgettable Day.

[casperwallace]

This is the instrument you are asking about- it can heard in a lot of Dimash songs.

Kobyz (kyl-kobyz) is a sacred instrument embodying the spiritual world of a nomad.

It is perhaps the most magical traditional musical instrument of Kazakh people. From being a sacred solo-instrument that sounded at the hands of nomads to moving to orchestras in large concert halls, kobyz went through a long journey onto the big stage.

It sounds wonderful, and its instruments we don't get to hear much, its just so haunting.

You are one of the best reactors to Dimash and my 88 year old sister thinks you're very good looking.

[EllaSilentDragon]

I love your reactions so much! ❤ This was another one full of interesting and fun facts. 😊
Only Dimash can be sick and still have enough breath to hold a note for that long… 😳🥰

[arindasayra]

Thanks for reaction Bro
Always enjoy your analysis of Dimash's performance, this version is also very good even though he is sick, you can check the musical instruments you are curious about in the new wave version, this version of Dimash is also extraordinarily great, every His appearance is always different but still interesting and mind blowing. I want you to react to Dimash's song "Love is like a dream".. I'm waiting.. once again thank you for reacting Our incredible DIMASH ❤
Greeting from Indonesian Dears ❤️🥰

[sophieb]

You really should do the New Wave version of Stranger. It is possibly the best performance of any song in his career so far.

Really enjoying your reactions - don’t hurt your head!
