I'm firmly in the camp of those who think this is the best song to introduce Dimash to a newbie. Every time I see this video, I feel like I've just seen the best singer in the world.

[setamanaha]

I'll tell you why this is NOT a lip sync. This is his performance at the 2018 Slavianski Bazaar, a singing competition where he was a judge and a guest performer. Three years earlier, in 2015, he was a competitor and won 1st place in the Grand Prix (the entire 3-day competition). He would NEVER lip sync at this event. It's not even allowed. Same with "Stranger" - that song was presented at the Grand opening of the International Competition of Young Performers "New Wave-2021" in Sochi, Russia. Again, an event where he would not-and cannot-lip sync. He doesn't lip sync at his concerts either. I know that many singers do but Dimash is not like other singers. This man truly is exceptional - Music In Human Form.

Personally, I like that you utilize this version of SOS to introduce people to Dimash. It is the song that made China, followed by the rest of the world, hear Dimash as a first-class star. It was also the first song I heard him sing, although it was the 2017 "I Am A Singer" version in the competition in China that made him famous. No matter how many times I hear it, I love every note. That version was completely live because it was part of the rules of the competition - and it blew my socks off. This version is 2 years later, his French is fine-tuned, and he does a few things differently, as always. As a previous professional vocalist myself, I have serious doubts that he is lip-syncing here. I have also heard him sing on many fan-cams from his concerts and although the sound quality overall is poorer (cell phones not the best for recording music), his vocals are spot on, pure, and beautiful despite the recording quality. Thank you for spreading the sound and the magic that is Dimash. I always enjoy your guest reactions and appreciate so much that you are spreading Dimash-love around so generously.

Спасибо за реакцию❤! Вообще-то с Димашем сотрудничают самые крутые продюсеры например Ральф Саймон, .. затем поют великие артисты Bocelli, Placido, поэтому смешно слушать про синхронизацию губ, послушайте его исполнение на концертах и всё станет сразу ясно!!! Димаш- Уникум!!!❤❤❤

Querido amigo, sería bueno que aclares a todos tus invitados a escuchar a Dimash, que al no conocerlo, no saber cómo es su temperamento, su parsonalidad, pueden siempre sospechar que hace playback o lo que sea. Todas estas personas están tan habituadas a ver eso en muchos cantantes que incluyen a Dimash dentro de ese standard. Dimash no se permitiría hacer playback o lo que sea, no te olvides ya que lo ves seguido, que jamás canta la misma canción igual, ya sea tonos, arreglos, vocalizaciones, etc. Hay cientos de versiones por ejemplo de la gran SOS que amamos, y son todas diferentes. Te animo a examinarlas en cada uno de sus conciertos. Por lo demás, agradecida de que siempre lo des a conocer entre tu gente, tus expertos en música que son tus amigos. Saludos desde Argentina. También te animo a ver los últimos estrenos del que es autor Dimash: SMOKE y IF I´VE GOT YOU. y el dúo del Pescador de Perlas de Bizet junto al gigante Plácido Domingo en el programa VIRTUOSOS, de Budapest del pasado 19 de enero. Gracias otra vez por tu labor.

Thank you for a great reaction. Personally, I don't think this was lip sinked, but people often think that because Dimash, being a perfectionist, rarely makes mistakes in his performances. On a separate note - Dimash just released a video of his performance with one of the greatest opera singers Placido Domingo. They sing acoustically there and have no ear monitors either. Take that Dimash haters!😊

[neya]

SOS Dimash has sung a hundred times, the vocals are not repeated. Another facet of Dimash's genius is classical. Placido Domingo and Dimash on Dimash's YouTube channel. Thank you and see you soon.

[michaelelliott]

If you watch Dimash sing Autumn Strong at the Kiev concert, towards the end, he takes the Mike away from his mouth, holds it way away from his mouth and you can see him sing live. Dimash has songs in 15 languages so far, and lots in English.

[Natali]

Я приблизила видео и смотрела только на неподвижное напряжённое выражение лица вашего гостя 😂. Это было круто. Ради такого выражения лица нужно делать реакции!
Про "lip sincing" уже столько сказано, что нет смысла повторяться. Slavic Bazaar- это конкурсная площадка, там не поют под фонограмму.

[Сильвестр-ев]

Димаш лучший из лучших вокалистов и певцов на планете Земля.Благодарю вас за прекрасную реакцию на Великого певца Димаша.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[jackio]

There is a version of this that he sings, in a club setting in Monaco, and he walks among the tables. That one puts to rest the lip-synch theory. Also, for the Chinese program, The Singer, performances had to be live so check that one out as well. I think people say lip-synch because of how perfect he is with his vocals.

[margaritajaramilloporras]

Es magia pura y real, bajo del cielo, compruebe yendo a uno de sus conciertos, no cerrarán la boca😂❤

[rosariofonseca]

Desde veracruz mexico sigo a DIMASH desde los 17 años y es increíble es magistral es maestro de maestros domina todos los géneros no importa el idioma la interpretación es increíble y mágica. Hoy x hoy el mejor del mundo no hay quien lo iguale ni siquiera q se le acerque.

[isaisa]

Este Sr . está acostumbrado a las trampas qué han usado la mayor parte de los qué él conoce.
EL MAGNÍFICO DIMASH, NO NECESITA RECURRIR A ESOS TRUCOS BARATOS.
PUES ...COMO CANTANTE ES EL MEJOR, Y COMO SER HUMANO HONESTO..
ES SUPERIOR, CAPICCI.
SALUDOS DESDE ESPAÑA ❤❤

It keeps astounding me how there are so many dears who think that it is somehow helpful to defend Dimash (when defending is not needed), against "lip sync allegations". Many have no idea what industry standard practices are, and that lip syncing, or singing live to track, or having editors replace your live vocals with studio vocals for the release, does not make one a worse singer. People are just uneducated, and also often do not see or hear the nuances themselves. Such is life.
Out of official videos, my favourite versions of SOS are Kiev 2020 (in his Kiev Arnau concert on his channel, but you can also find it extracted by a fan if you search YT) and the Digital Show SOS 2021. Vocals in the latter are incredible, better than in this Slavic Bazaar version, but he sings with his eyes closed for almost the entire song, and the editors have not noticed this when choosing their shots, which is frustrating if one, as a new watcher, wants to see his eyes. But as far as live performances in professional sound quality go, the digital show is the bomb vocally and what I would show instead. The Singer version is also a great starting point, as that's the one that made him internationally known, and it is a very sweet version from young Dimash.
(SOS is, apart from literally a few occasions where track was required, always live and there are dozens upon dozens of different versions of the song available online, obviously mostly only captured on fancams.)

I am an avid fan of Dimash. From the time I discovered him in 2018, I never left him since then. If Dimash does lipsynching, it's fine with me. The only problem is that because he is so good, sometimes people think that he is doing the lipsynch thing. A clear example is the Russian guy who thought that Dimash performances were computerized until one day he saw it with his own eyes Dimash's live performance. He was shock to find out that indeed Dimash is capable of producing those sounds without computer aid. Anyway, thanks to your guest today. He is a cool guy!

[jamesks]

P.s. you should hear his most recent LIVE concert version of OLYMPICO that he sang in China....NOW THAT IS FOR SURE TOTALLY LIVE he altered a number of the notes, changed the texture and color and timing of many notes on this one.... and it is really amazing!!

[magofkemh]

What Dimash does as a singer and as a composer is good that I don't even plan to spend a second of my life worrying about whether he sang live or not. Please keep singing, that's all I ask!

[meghanmacqueen]

It wouldn't hurt to have the video of Dimash singing the song from the Fifth Element cued up to show them at the end of this if they mention it (it's very short, and it's in concert too; every time I've heard him sing it, it's a bit different, so I'm pretty sure it's not lip synced).

[beewilson]

Lip sync or not, at his tender age of 30 later this year. Served us all genres possible with a beautiful, seamless going from octave to octave voice, moving us to tears with emotion and now a range of 7+ octaves. Please listen to a selection of his different songs. He had 600 million views on Weibo after his first Singer 2017 appearance.
Dimash is the most versatile singer of all with his divine voice and personality to go with it.
Wherever he performs: sold out!
Dimash stands for quality❤
He performed at Barclay centre Dec 2019 so many in the USA know about him.
He does not rely on big dependent music producers.
Carry on listening ❤
