❤ insuperable!! Años de trabajo en su instrumento, su voz!! Abra muchos grandes cantantes, pero que se Allan tragado un piano y más, todo en un mismo envase, NO Sres!!!! Dimash Abarca todo!!! Es la música misma dimash y suena como el quiera!!.. es un don que Dios le dió, y él supo trabajar muy bien! 💪 Y a pesar de todo esto no se trago la alpargarta como decimos en Argentina 🇦🇷, sigue siendo el mismo hombre humilde desde el principio. Lejos de toda esa barbarie q suelen mostrar el resto de los cantantes.. no fuma, no bebé alcohol, tiene convicciones, metas, 1° la familia, ect.. es "casi" perfecto, porque es HUMANO!!.. y lo deja buen demostrado con su obra maestra " historia de un cielo" 👍🕊️🙏 gracias por su analisis. Saludos de una Dear 🇦🇷❤️🇦🇷

Greetings from Ecuador South-America, Thanks for reacting to Dimash. I agree with your friend that Dimash is the best singer of all time, and the question why he is not so well known in this part of the world, simple Dimash is an independent singer with an independent production company. His Dears (fans) who are found in all parts of the world and who are capable of crossing continents to see him in his concerts, we are in charge of making him known, to be fans of Dimash you have to be a person with values, respectful of his private life and be messengers of peace, unity, when you meet with Dears from different countries, no matter what language you speak we will always understand each other since we speak the same language which is that of friendship, respect and solidarity❤

My favourite guest so far! Please ask him on again to react to Dimash. He’s very interesting and knowledgeable plus he loves Dimash! ❤😊

[stevepierce]

Rocko's insight of Dimash being the GOAT is spot on. Dimash as a performer is simply mesmerizing. His connectivity with the audience is profound. Over the years since the Singer series Dimash I found can reach into your soul, grab hold, massage, pierce the veneer of past hurt, and in some small way he heals. Talk to anybody who has attended a live concert, they come away affected and even changed. I call Dimash my soul menderer. He is a gift to humanity crossing all genres. Thanks for all you do.

Igor Krugoy is an extremely famous composer in Russian. When he heard Dimash’s voice, he came out of retirement to many quite a few songs for Dimash. Both are very good friends and Dimash has great respect for Igor’s compositions and remain the best of friends. Both of you should watch Dimash’s latest release, “When I’ve got you”, it’ll surprise both of you!! In 2023, Dimash has does several concerts but he’s spent quite a bit if time I’m Los Angeles and New York City working on a couple of projects but also learning English better, becoming more fluent and learning to pronounce English better. I think English is extremely difficult just as Chinese is incredibly difficult for English-speaking people to pronounce correctly. I say this because it takes years for children to learn their native tongue. It takes years for nerves to grow and innervate the structures that’s produce sound and specific phonetics. Given that Kazakhstan is next to China, it may be easier for Dimash to speak and sing in Chinese. There may be similarities in pronunciation which would mean the nerves innervate the vocal muscles, particularly the tongue in a similar manner. In turn, it would also be a good reason why English may be different for people in Asiatic countries to pronounce English without an accent. Although I’m American I had an extremely difficult time trying to speak Chinese or Vietnamese. As a neuroscientist, I know that learning a language with completely different tongue movements and positions gets harder as we age because nerves to don’t move as easily. I give Dimash a lot of credit for tackling the correct pronunciation for so many songs in languages. I agree with your guest in today’s video, I used to say Dimash is a once in a generation singer but with further thought, I believe him to be the best ever or at least in a multigenerational perspective due to his precise attack of his pitch, his intense studying of many genre (classical, contemporary/ pop, rock, jazz and even musicals. He’s got 2 bachelor degrees in the genres I previous mention, a masters in composition and he continues to learn native, historical tribal music - he has a voracious appetite to learn and perfect as he creates his own genre called neoclassical. I believe he desires the freedom to constantly learn new genres to make his music as enjoyable to the audiences as possible. Personally, I don’t believe there’s another singer with such vast abilities in the world. I don’t believe we’ll hear the likes of Dimash’s beautiful tone, timber precision and range for many decades to hundreds of years, if ever again. I know Dimash would be uncomfortable with such praise, but it’s my belief. So we must take advantage of being able to hear him live as many times as possible. Thank you for another great video!

Dimash has said when asked, his vocal range is not the most important thing in his performance. The most important is conveying the emotion & having his audience feel that too and, having seen him live, he does that all the time. He's amazing at 'feeling' everything he sings & making the audience feel it too. He truly is a once-in-a-lifetime artist & i love that you, Joel, introduce so many to him.
What Rocko said about Dimash singing what he wants is absolutely spot on. Dimash has said that he has a flaw in his personality in that he could not have someone tell him what to sing. He sings what his heart tells him to & he has mastered that for sure.
Thank you both for this fantastic reaction to Dimash.
😊🙏💞💖

Thanks for this reaction! I’m so glad you have discovered Dimash, as I did 4 years ago. ! Im in the USA, and long for the day when he is appreciated here! My dream is to hear him in the Sphere!! He has been working with some great American composers and producers, David Foster and Walter Afanasief. He had a concert at Barkley Center in NYC in Dec. 2019 which drew fans from over 50 countries! However, one of the big setbacks was how he was treated when he was on WORLDS BEST SINGER show in 2019. They lied to him, not telling him he would be competing against children, which is against his Kazakh culture. He chose to drop out, giving up a sure 1 million dollar prize. They disrespected him for it. It was shameful. I think that soured Dimash on the American entertainment industry. You are right, he does and sings what he wants. He was offered a place in the Astana opera, but turned it down because he wants to experiment with all genres, not being placed in a box! His Father started DimashAli creative center for Dimash and is his manager. The Eastern cultures appreciate Dimash’s unique talent, so he performs more in Asia and Eastern Europe. Im just so grateful for YouTube, where he generously shares his music, live concerts and music videos. He has dears all over the world! I’m excited to go to Istanbul May 24 for his 30th birthday concert!

Dimash è oltre la bellezza.
Alimenta stupore e meraviglia ad ogni esibizione, sbalordendo ancora e ancora con lavori creativi sempre ai massimi livelli vocali e interpretativi.
Compositore, polistrumentista, attore, canta in 15 lingue, promotore della pace tra i popoli.
Colui, unico, che ha elevato l'arte del canto fino a raggiungere il puro spirito dell'anima universale, che risuona limpido superando i confini di genere, lingua, razza e religione.
Nessuno è paragonabile a lui tra gli artisti di ieri e di oggi
Senza tema di smentita, il miglior cantante della storia della musica mondiale.
Saluti from Italy 🇮🇹

He nailed it about Dimash singing what he wants. Listened to an interview where Dimash, his dad, and Igor said that he doesn’t need to do simple songs that have a limited shelf life. He looks mainly for songs with meaning that will stand the test of time. An innovator, genius, humanitarian.

[monikadear]

This was a great interesting talk between you two, thank you so much! And please go on listening/watching and enjoying Dimash! He is so worth it! And really fantastic opinion and comments of Rocko on Dimash, thank you so much for that! Rocko, you are a great guy - fantastic what you tell about Marius Müller Westernhagen, of course I know him! Much love from Germany ❤️

[tneff]

I’m with your guest, I love my classic rock, mostly 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and my little experience playing piano for choirs and solos, and singing my self growing up in church.
But even my little spec of knowledge, I know Dimash should be a world treasure!
He is the best singer in the world!
The most talented!😊

Gracias Rocko Reedy por reaccionar a Dimash!!! ❤❤❤

[elisabethstermo]

When I see a famous U2 stage manager and a living legend I have to say Hi to Rocko Reedy. He looked so mesmerised by watching Dimash singing OLIMPICO. Hi U2 stage manager, hope you had a good day watching Dimash. Best regards from Elisabeth from Norway 🇳🇴

[_-Enigma-_]

Я два раза была на концертах Димаша. Действительно, видишь только Димаша и не замечаешь всего остального. Он заполняет собой всю сцену, забирает все внимание на себя. Его концерты длятся почти четыре часа. Как он выдерживает такую нагрузку? Он поражает. Димаш - чудо!

[gilbertvigani]

I feel Dimash fame slowly is coming towards making him an household name. Being an independent artist its a tactic choice not consuming his music artistry and image!! Hes the best gift for humanity

[nadaassaly]

Dimash is the best vocalist on earth ❤❤

[bobduerwald]

Every time I hear Dimash sing Olimpico I am so inspired I go outside and run 5 miles - and I am 71 years old!

[elfin]

Finally, a guest says what is the truth that Dimash is the greatest vocalist EVER! I also appreciate that he speaks from decades of working with the biggest artists out there. So take it to the bank!

[HaruNatsuAkiFuyu]

I agree! Dimash is the greatest singer ever. It's a crime that he is not more well known.

[Treefellow]

Great to watch this reaction, it really is an incredibly powerful performance. I think the two of you should react to Dimash's performance of El Amor en Ti at Almaty concert, its sort of similar to Olympico, but different! Greetings from Cape Town South Africa
