The picture in the background is one of Dimash’s professors who died of Covid. The professor composed this song and Dimash sang it as a tribute. You can see and feel his sadness.🎶
You're corrected this gentleman was a teacher and mentor of Dimash for years. However, he did not compose this song, but he did write the lyrics for it.
Как всегда меня радует Ваша замечательная реакция. Это одна из самых моих любимых песен.Я Вам посоветую посмотреть его раннее выступление с этой же песней, когда Димаш ещё совсем юный. Вам будет очень интересно на этом примере увидеть, насколько по разному может исполнить одну и туже песню Димаш. Интересно то, что его преподаватель, который является автором этой песни, не сразу дал исполнить Димашу эту песню, считая, что он ещё очень молодой. Просто посмотрите. Вам очень понравится. Думаю, что вот такое совершенно разное исполнение одной и той же песни, можно давать для всех музыкантов как наглядное пособие в учебных музыкальных заведениях.Сколько же надо работать каждый день над собой, чтобы так совершенствоваться. По истине говорят, что Димаш - это и есть сама Музыка. Он ей живёт каждую секунду. А ведь это очень-очень сложно. Быть,и оставаться таким Великим музыкантом, уметь достучаться до сердец совершенно разных людей,сегодня очень непросто, особенно в наше время, когда люди пресыщены музыкой благодаря интернету. Обязательно посмотрите. Вам желаю всего самого хорошего. Вы очень светлый человек. С большим уважением к Вам. Донецк.
I also love Dimashs older version of this song. It has some naivety and rawness that he had lost over time or that had to give way for other things. Here is a link: m.th-cam.com/video/JKDC2fPm2rg/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygURZGltYXNoIHFhcmFneW0gYWk%3D Just beautifully sung.
This song broke my heart the first time I heard it. It still gets to me....the raw pain is just palpable from him. 😢😢😢 Thank you for your kindness and appreciation of Dimash regardless of what song you are watching. ❤❤❤
Dimash is known for the ability to share the emotion of the song with the listeners. You can definately feel and see the pain he is feeling. The composer became a teacher and mentor to Dimash and was lost to Covid.
Dimash and the professor were gr8 friends. He died from covid, The professor asked Dimash to sing this song rftr he died, hence the palpable emotions. They got to know each other because Dimash wanted to sing one of the professors songs, he was very young, and the the professor tght Dimash was to young to be able to really bring forth the message of it. So Dimash had to sing the song to the professor b4 he cud make a decision on allowing dimash to perform it or not. The proff was astounded at Dimash's ability to understand the depths of its meaning. At the performance the proff gave Dimash a standing ovation, and from that time they were firm friends to the end.
This performance always makes me cry. There is a video of Dimash singing this song in 2016, in front of his professor, and it was not so sad. Well it wouldn't be, as it was a celebration performance. But I totally agree with you John, my favorite Dimash songs are not his vocally impressive songs, but the emotional ones, where he puts his heart and soul into it. Amanat, Mahabbat Ber Magan, Qairan Elim.
History of Qaragym Ai. The history of this song is as follows. About 25 years ago, the Kazakh poet Shomishpay Sariev wrote the lyrics of the song "Karagym Ai” and dedicated it to his daughter who was getting married. The father put his feelings in the text regarding his concern: what the life of the daughter with her boyfriend? What awaits her? And shares with the daughter about the meaning of life. The poet argues that the most important meaning of life is love. Life lived without love is empty. The poet ask: “Is every life lived without love equivalent to a day lived in love?” It is always sad to leave home and cross the threshold of someone else's house. That's why it's also a bit sad moment for a daughter. After all, the girl's tears are not from pain, but only from regret when they are separated from her native village, her relatives. The poet asked his friend the famous Kazakh composer Kenes Duisekeev to write music. The composer, while writing the music for the song, remembers his only sister, who she did not have time to marry and died at the age of 19. He dreamed what a father would have felt if she had gotten married. Therefore, the song turned out not only about the poet's daughter, who is getting married, but about the composer's sister, who did not live to see her wedding. Therefore, the song feels sorry, sadness of failed love. Greetings from Panama
Puedo sentir su pena, vaya hermoso homenaje Entre lágrimas y, con una sonrisa, muchísimas gracias por esta reacción Admirable artista y excelente persona
Профессор, о котором говорят в комментариях, - известный и любимейший казахстанский композитор Кенес Дуйсекеев. У него Димаш учился композиции. Стихи написал Шомишпай Сариев.
Thanks so much John for reacting to this gem! As you said, Dimash's stripped back performances tend to be overlooked. But, as you also mentioned, those soft moments, filled with tons of emotions, are a huge part of Dimash's essence as an artist. Dimash has otherworldly technical skills but he uses them to provide to himself limitless artistic expression. That, combined with his deep emotional response to music, is what creates the masterpieces that he shares with us. Not just his range. Even in his more "flashy" performances, one should look for "how" and "what purpose" Dimash is using his multiple registers. Because it's always about text painting, it's never about showing off. You're one of the few reactors I follow consistently, exactly because you see and appreciate Dimash in his wholeness. Thank you ❤
The song is called Qaragym Aì (or Appel of My Eye) and was written by Kenes Duisekeyev many years ago. The lyrics are from a Kazakh poet who dedicated this song to his daughter who was getting married. He wanted to express his concern and feelings about what his daughter's future might hold. Kenes Duisekeyev wrote the song thinking about his own sister, who couldn't get married because she died at the age of 19. This special performance has a sad occasion. The composer of this song was also a teacher of Dimash and he died from Covid in 2020. Dimash was devastated. He sang this song in memory of Kenes Duisekeyev. The pain Dimash shows is literally palpable. It hurts so much to see him like this😥. Greetings and love from Germany👋❤️
Hola John!!!Esta canción fue muy emotiva,el señor de la foto fue su maestro y murió de covid,esto fue hecho en pandemia y se ve cómo Dimash trasmite su tristeza por esa pérdida.Saludos para ti y todos los Dears desde Argentina!!!🤗❤🇦🇷
Thank you for reviewing this, this is one of my MOST favorite of all of DQ's songs, and this is the finest version. This is what it looks like when a soul bleeds.....
I never make it through this song without tearing up. Just the pain in his face from losing his mentor to covid is so hard to see. He does this song again in the 2021 digital concert and it is again absolutely incredible.
Dimash has experienced so much loss of people he was close to over the past few years, so much sadness. Thank you John for sharing your analysis ❤. Have a wonderful time with all of your travels.
p.s. thank you so much for saying what you did about appreciating this song in all of its emotional and personal richness. Some only want to hear DQ's firework vocals, but I love how he chooses to use his voice to serve the story; which I guess isn't surprising since he seems to be a person of great integrity in his personal life; so naturally, that is also how he is as an artist.
John, thank you for your sincere reaction. It is impossible to listen to this song without tears. The song "Qaragum Ai" became the music of personal mourning, a heartbreaking requiem for the teacher, friend Kenes Duisekeyev, who died as a result of covid. The song was performed in October 2020 without an audience at a concert in Nur-Sultan dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the concert organization in Kazakhstan - "Kazakhconcert". The auditorium is empty, there were no live concerts in October. There are only two men on stage - singer Dimash and pianist Adilzhan Tolykpaev. The endless loneliness and pain of two men shaken by a senseless death. Two of the teacher's students, who have already become creators themselves, are grieving. 🙏❤️
The control is incredible. To regulate each note technically and emotionally to such a degree takes enormous grace and finesse. In a sing like this...timing is everything. D8mash is a master at focus and the art of transference of emotion into music perfectly. Sure...he has worked hard and trained. But it takes depth and real talent to deliver and sing like that. Thank you John for your sensitivity and maturity in your reaction. This music may not be the kind of Rollercoaster ride many look for from Dimash...but that's too bad. For me..it is an even more stunning and intense one.
Thanks much, John, for responding to this beautiful and emotional song. I'm sure you must've read the backstory of it in the comments by now... I just want to appreciate you reacting to this song that few reactors react to...because it doesn't have the usual Dimash fireworks. But it's emotional simplicity, i believe, makes it even more impactful. Another one of his simple and emotional song is his cover of a Ukrainian folk song Marigolds. I don't know if you have heard it yet, but that is another beautiful song.
So much pain in the world at that time! So many losses... And this Dimash's performance always makes me want to just hug him and say everything will be ok... 😢😢😢 Hug from Brazil!
Música extraordinária! Letra maravilhosa! Pianista espetacular! Dimash simplesmente transcendental! Dimash quando canta transforma a música em algo celestial, onde ele faz uma chamada espiritual à alma e a consciência, e não precisamos nem traduzir pois sua voz e interpretação transcende qualquer idioma! Incrível! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏻👏🏻👏👏🏿🎶🎶♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷
I love this song. It's one of my favorites performed by Dimash. He has several versions of it and it holds a special meaning for him. This performance brings me to tears because he allowed us to see his sadness and real emotion while singing it.
This beautiful and heartwarming kazakh song sung divinely and emotionally by Dimash is the proof that who say that Dimash is just high notes,screams,and vocal range,and he's a robot that is not capable of transmit emotions because is too much perfect and technical is absolutely and undoubtedly wrong..But obviously who say these bullshit are just jealous and envy people and poor loser haters..And not only this song,in the repertoire of Dimash are the majority the songs without high notes..For example if with songs like Ikanaide,Marigold,Amanat,If i never breath again,Omir,Give me love,Omir oter,and many other there are who don't get excited is not a problem of Dimash that doesn't transmit but is a problem of these people who have no heart and soul..Dimash is absolutely capable of transmit every emotion because he not only sing the songs but also he lives the songs and tell them to you..For me Dimash is the most emotional and versatile singer in existence and of the history..The Boss King Angel Dimash Forever
Me encanta Dimash,pero tus reacciones me gustan mucho.eres maravilloso. Se me saltan las lagrimas,como tú.porque Dimash es excepcional.😘😘😘igual que tú,eres sensible y maravilloso.😘😘😘
This is one of my favorites from his "Kazakh collection", along with Akkuym. It also has the classic piano song ("Klavierlied") feeling to it. And it is live as we can see from the veins on his neck.
Mahalo John for reacting to this song! This song is definitely touching and Dimash sung it as a tribute to his teacher who composed this piece! Yes, his anguish bleeds out of him when he sings it! May you always blessed in your many trips far and wide!
This was for the composer, Kenes Duisekeev, who had died of covid. Dimash sang this in 2016 for the "70th anniversary of the composer Kenes Duisekeev". Kenes wasn't sure Dimash could understand and convey the emotion at such a young age. But, we know how Dimash is. 😄 - th-cam.com/video/JKDC2fPm2rg/w-d-xo.html
John, this song is a tribute to a beloved teacher of Dimash (the composer of this song - it's his picture you see in the background) who died of Covid, and the loss was very hard on Dimash.
Es una hermosa canción e interpretación, es una delicia ! Gracias John, tu siempre tan amable y sincero en cada reacción que haces a nuestro queridísimo Dimash, que disfrutemos de una gran semana, saludos desde Colombia
This is one of my favourite songs of him... Pure artistry and pain .. without the big notes and anything happening around him .. I suggest you check out AMANAT... Another soulful song from him that I absolutely love ❤
I've been listening to Dimаsh's songs for three years now, and I'm so used to perfect singing that I can't listen to someone's fake singing. As soon as I hear falsehood, I immediately turn on Dimash's songs.
Esta canción Dimash la canta con tanta emoción! con los ojos llenos de lágrimas, se la canta en el homeje a su profesor del Master de composición que es el autor del tema Qaragym-ay, quien fallece en la pandemia por Covid...no puedo escucharla sin llorar...
Dimash ❤no pudo esconder la tristeza que sentía al interpretar esa canción dedicada a uno de sus Profesores al cual estimaba mucho y el Covid terminó con su vida
Yes, this kind of song and performance gets me so much more, because of the powerful yet heartened voice. For example, we have another song in his digital show that is very emotional too. Or Samaltau in Tokio Jazz Festival or the beautiful song Omir. You reacting to Dimash and EXO, simply wonderful! 👏 The King of singers, and the Emperors of KPOP👌
Thank you John! This song is very powerful, and not because of vocal acrobatics, but for the emotions that Dimash makes you feel in every single verse. He is such a wonderful story teller and He know how to make the audience feel the song without even knowing the language! ❤ He is just amazing in every single way! You should react to “Diva Dance” and “Across Endless dimensions” @
The pianist here was also a student of Kenes and they wanted to show their respect for their beloved professor who died from covid. The song was written by the professor after his own daughter died, I believe. This performance is stunning. No extreme notes or complicated runs. Just purity.
Indeed, if you appreciate Dimash, and the way he interprets emotions and music, it is completely insignificant whether or not the song has particular notes going high, low, or doing any other particular trick. This has been my favourite song for 3 years now, and i don't even like piano music 😂
J'ai vu cette performance en 2016 pour l'anniversaire de son mentor Kenneth en direct devant lui c'était très beau... mais différents . Avec les années Dimash ce dépasse encore et aujourd'hui après le décès de son mentor Kenneth cette chanson prend tout son sens... puisque le compilateur l'a écrite en pour le mariage de sa fille et son départ avec son époux pour Kenneth qui lui n'a jamais eu la chance de voir sa fille se marier elle est décédé à 19 ans ... Dimash a toujours voulu chanter cette chanson du vivant de son mentor Kenneth...qui le temporisai car c'est une chanson à la fois belle mais poignante...je suis sûre que de la ou Kenneth le regarde il doit encore être plus fière de son élève car la l'émotion est tellement réaliste et réelle que chaque fois je suis bouleversée merci beaucoup John pour tes réactions que j'attends toujours avec impatience.bisou de Paris 😘
I dont even need to know what hes actually singing-dont need the high notes all the time. We already know he can do that. Thank you for sharing the reaction.❤🇺🇲
There's a video available about this song. When Dimash met the Composer for the first time, he asked if he could sing the song. The Composer was intrigued and wanted to hear how it would be sung. After he heard Dimash sing it, he said it had always pictured the song to be sung like that. What I remembered from the video, in so many words. ❤ Hopefully someone will remember and link you.
I rarely listen to this song because the number of deaths in my life over the last 4 years has been very overwhelming. I generally avoid the Dimash "heart wrenching" songs because I need more happiness and less tears at this time. 🙄🫤 Must admit he sings so beautifully in this ballad. Another beautiful song I avoid regularly is Marigolds.😢 Great reaction John. So happy that you are able to appreciate all musical techniques, not just vocal acrobatics.❤️ 🥰🥰🥰🇨🇦
What a wonderful reaction to this special performance. Since you enjoyed this so much I hope you'll do a beautiful song called The Meaning of Eternity. Very few reactors know about it. Can't wait to hear what you think. You are my very favorite reactor!! Thanks for loving Dimash right along with us!! ❤
The story of the song "Qaragym-ay" / "My dear". Lyrics written by Sariev Shomishbay. Music written by Duysekeev Kenes. Poet Sariev dedicates these poems to his daughter, who is getting married. In the poems, the poet conveys his feelings about how the life of his daughter will turn out with her chosen one. Father shares thoughts on the meaning of life with his daughter. In his opinion, the main meaning of life is Love. Without love, life is empty. The poet asked a friend, composer Duisekeev, to write music for his poems. The composer remembered his only sister who died when she was 19 years old. She didn't get married. That's why the song also feels the pinching sadness of the failed love. Dimash performed the song "Qaragym-ay" on April 9, 2016 at a concert dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the composer Kenes Duisekeev. The composer was surprised by how Dimash was able to understand and convey the deep meaning of the song, despite his young age (Dimasha was 21 at the time.). After the performance of the song, the composer applauded Dimasha with the words BRAVO!!!". Composer Kenes Duysekeev was Dimash's teacher at the university. He died on July 9, 2020 from Covid-19. Dimash sang this song in memory of the composer. On the stage behind Dimash you see a portrait of Kenes Duisekeev. In the version of the Dimash Digital Show the piano player is Zarina Bozhakova, singer, friend and one of the back vocalist of Dimash. Zarina 🎼🔝🎤❤️🌹🌹👏👏👏👏👏

Dimash is so good at portraying emotions! ✨ Thanks for the reaction, I hope you can react to Across Endless Dimensions! ☺️
Thank you, John, for choosing this song to react to. It's one of my favorite performances by Dimash for the reason you mentioned - how his voice expresses so much in the quiet moments. It's a shame so few people choose it to react to since it's "missing" his usual vocal pyrotechnics. It's these songs that caress a chill on our ears and hearts which display his exquisite technique.
Dimash has experienced loss at a level inconsistent with his age and he is technically able to tap into his reservoir of sorrow whenever he wants to express himself musically. Beautiful reaction. Prayers from Canada.
Thank you thank you thank you for reacting to this Song. It’s one of the underrated songs for Dimash but absolutely one of my favorite songs ❤❤ Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Well said John. Dimash is much more than high notes, he is a great artist and, in my opinion, one of the most dedicated to his art of our time. Thank you for the support you provide to Dimash's work through your reactions. Sending you a big hug , 🥰 A Dear from Canada❤
This song was written by Professor Dimash, with whom he studied composition at the University of Arts. In those days in the summer of 2020, in Kazakhstan, as well as throughout the world, many people died from Covid, even more people got sick, and many were left without work. And against the backdrop of all this, the Astana authorities staged a grandiose fireworks display in honor of the 80th anniversary of the long-time dictator and former president of the country Nazarbayev. People were deeply shocked and outraged, but all famous, popular people were afraid to express their indignation publicly. And only Dimash wrote an indignant post on Instagram. He wrote that if taxpayers' money is so thoughtlessly spent on fireworks and not on medicine, then soon there will be no one to watch these fireworks. This post of his had a very big response.
@ JohnReavesLive………Thank you for a very perceptive reaction, John. Without even knowing the story behind the song, you picked up on Dimash’s sorrow and anguish. Take care and may you have safe travels. 🤗🤗💞
This one breaks my heart every time I hear it. You can see the sadness in him😔 At the same time, it puts me in a calm and introspective mode. As you always say:" Be kind to each other"❤
Dimash dedicated his performance to the great composer and Honored Artist of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kenes Duisekeyev who died of Covid in 2020 Kenes Duisekeyev was Dimash's teacher/mentor in the master's program of the Kazakh National University of Arts. Story of the song creation: The words of this composition were written more than 25 years ago and they were dedicated to the daughter of Shomishbay Sariev, who was getting married. At the request of his friend Shomishbay Nagashbaevich, Kenes Duysekeyev wrote music to the words, which in turn reflected the composer's sadness about the never-come true wedding of his 19-year-old sister, who had passed away. In the performance of Dimash, this song came to life in the composer's memories, which he was pleased with. According to the composer, Dimash was able to convey to the audience those emotions and feelings that the author of the words and himself put into them. After all, the meaning of the author's words carry one thing - love. Personal mourning in this empty hall with only the pianist Adilzhan Tolykpaev who was also a student of Keynes Dimash spoke in an interview about Keynes his mentor teacher that Keynes always had a stern face and that made his students sometimes nervous Dimash said that he often went into kenes office and they drank tea together Dimash said he felt like visiting his grandpa
When Dimash was younger he wanted to sing this and the composer didn't think he would be able to convey the emotions needed for this beautiful song, but agreed to see if he could do it as intended. Of course, he did it perfectly! The composer, one of his teachers, is the gentleman in the picture behind him and this performance was a tribute to him after his death. The emotion in this performance was real for Dimash as he has always had great respect and love for his teachers. It is a beautiful song. Thank you for your reaction 😊🙏💕
Hello John. I am very pleased , you choose a beautiful song to react. This is a very emotional and beautiful song. The composer of this song was Dimash's teacher "Shomishbay Nagashbaevich" and the writer is "Kenes Duisekeyev" this is actually very sad song its about 19 years old sister of Dimash's teacher, who passed away. And Mr. Nagashbaevich wanted someone to sing this song, who could deliver the true feeling of his. So he knew only Dimash can do it, and he conveys the feeling( how beautiful is that) . This song was written 25 years ago but got released in 2020 and stayed in the top 10 charts for 67 weeks. Dimash is a true artist, I never get tired of his beautiful voice. ❤
He was really hit by the fact that people in his home was dying because the there is not enough oxygen masks in the hospitals. (And from many countries came dark stories in that time).
The picture in the background is one of Dimash’s professors who died of Covid. The professor composed this song and Dimash sang it as a tribute. You can see and feel his sadness.🎶
The emotion is unreal, I can still get teary to this day watching this.
As always, thank you for your reaction.❤
Yes this was a very sad time
You're corrected this gentleman was a teacher and mentor of Dimash for years. However, he did not compose this song, but he did write the lyrics for it.
Лучшая песня❤
Bellísima interpretación . Dimash ...mi artista favorito. Desde Argentina 🇦🇷, gracias por traerlo a tu canal

Я до сих пор не могу без слёз смотреть это выступление Димаша. Очень эмоционально. Спасибо за реакцию.
Сколько печали и боли в этом исполнении Димашем! У меня душа плачет!
This song broke my heart the first time I heard it. It still gets to me....the raw pain is just palpable from him. 😢😢😢
Thank you for your kindness and appreciation of Dimash regardless of what song you are watching. ❤❤❤
100%❤ ❤❤💞
💗 Most beautiful, and tender - divine! Thanks a million our dearest Dimash!
His voice choking on tears, fighting so hard to sing this when his teacher died, his face etched in anguish, the memory, painful to watch years later.
Dimash is known for the ability to share the emotion of the song with the listeners. You can definately feel and see the pain he is feeling. The composer became a teacher and mentor to Dimash and was lost to Covid.
Dimash's love for his teacher is deeply felt in this emotional song that his mentor wrote. Now Dimash passes that love he was given to his Dears.
Dimash hace que su capacidad de interpretación, no pueda uno dejar de verlo, yo no me lo imagino, Tengo que verlo.
Simply amazing, beatiful and full of love, he touches souls. Thank's a lot for your reaction, it is wonderful to hear
your deeply honest feelings ❤
Dimash and the professor were gr8 friends. He died from covid, The professor asked Dimash to sing this song rftr he died, hence the palpable emotions.

Thank you for reviewing this, this is one of my MOST favorite of all of DQ's songs, and this is the finest version. This is what it looks like when a soul bleeds.....
Your comment brought tears to my eyes...you can feel his heart breaking😢

Somehow I always cry a river when I listnen to this song.
Thanks John for also bringing the more 'hidden gems' of Dimash to your channel ❤
What a tribute to his mentor who passed with/from Covid. God bless Dimash and God rest the soul of his music teacher.
❤❤❤😢😢😢 c'est une chanson très touchante par son histoire et par la transmission spectaculaire des émotions par le biais de la voix de DIMASH.
Thank you, John! Always a nice sharing-moment to watch Dimash on your channel. You are so respectfull. A joy!
John, thank you for your sincere reaction. It is impossible to listen to this song without tears. The song "Qaragum Ai" became the music of personal mourning, a heartbreaking requiem for the teacher, friend Kenes Duisekeyev, who died as a result of covid. The song was performed in October 2020 without an audience at a concert in Nur-Sultan dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the concert organization in Kazakhstan - "Kazakhconcert". The auditorium is empty, there were no live concerts in October. There are only two men on stage - singer Dimash and pianist Adilzhan Tolykpaev. The endless loneliness and pain of two men shaken by a senseless death. Two of the teacher's students, who have already become creators themselves, are grieving. 🙏❤️
The control is incredible. To regulate each note technically and emotionally to such a degree takes enormous grace and finesse. In a sing like this...timing is everything. D8mash is a master at focus and the art of transference of emotion into music perfectly. Sure...he has
worked hard and trained. But it takes depth and real talent to deliver and sing like that.
Thank you John for your sensitivity and maturity in your reaction. This music may not be the kind of Rollercoaster ride many look for from Dimash...but that's too bad. For me..it is an even more stunning and intense one.
Thanks much, John, for responding to this beautiful and emotional song. I'm sure you must've read the backstory of it in the comments by now...
I just want to appreciate you reacting to this song that few reactors react to...because it doesn't have the usual Dimash fireworks. But it's emotional simplicity, i believe, makes it even more impactful.
Another one of his simple and emotional song is his cover of a Ukrainian folk song Marigolds. I don't know if you have heard it yet, but that is another beautiful song.
This is a tribute to the professor of Composition of both Dimash and the pianist, who died of COVID 19.
So much pain in the world at that time! So many losses... And this Dimash's performance always makes me want to just hug him and say everything will be ok... 😢😢😢 Hug from Brazil!
Música extraordinária!
Letra maravilhosa!
Pianista espetacular!
Dimash simplesmente transcendental!
Dimash quando canta transforma a música em algo celestial, onde ele faz uma chamada espiritual à alma e a consciência, e não precisamos nem traduzir pois sua voz e interpretação transcende qualquer idioma! Incrível!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏻👏🏻👏👏🏿🎶🎶♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷
Right❤
I love this song. It's one of my favorites performed by Dimash. He has several versions of it and it holds a special meaning for him. This performance brings me to tears because he allowed us to see his sadness and real emotion while singing it.
Hola, me encantó tu reacción a esta hermosa canción. Dimash como siempre, Sublime. ❤❤❤❤❤
This beautiful and heartwarming kazakh song sung divinely and emotionally by Dimash is the proof that who say that Dimash is just high notes,screams,and vocal range,and he's a robot that is not capable of transmit emotions because is too much perfect and technical is absolutely and undoubtedly wrong..But obviously who say these bullshit are just jealous and envy people and poor loser haters..And not only this song,in the repertoire of Dimash are the majority the songs without high notes..For example if with songs like Ikanaide,Marigold,Amanat,If i never breath again,Omir,Give me love,Omir oter,and many other there are who don't get excited is not a problem of Dimash that doesn't transmit but is a problem of these people who have no heart and soul..Dimash is absolutely capable of transmit every emotion because he not only sing the songs but also he lives the songs and tell them to you..For me Dimash is the most emotional and versatile singer in existence and of the history..The Boss King Angel Dimash Forever
Me encanta Dimash,pero tus reacciones me gustan mucho.eres maravilloso.
Se me saltan las lagrimas,como tú.porque Dimash es excepcional.😘😘😘igual que tú,eres sensible y maravilloso.😘😘😘
This is one of my favorites from his "Kazakh collection", along with Akkuym. It also has the classic piano song ("Klavierlied") feeling to it. And it is live as we can see from the veins on his neck.
Mahalo John for reacting to this song! This song is definitely touching and Dimash sung it as a tribute to his teacher who composed this piece! Yes, his anguish bleeds out of him when he sings it! May you always blessed in your many trips far and wide!
Soooo beautiful, such an amazing tribute !
John please please react to olímpico or passione
Gracias john x ti reaccion de nuestro amado principe Kazajo DIMASH saludos desde.cordoba Argentina soy LAURA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Genial Dimash 🎶❤💥
This was for the composer, Kenes Duisekeev, who had died of covid.
Dimash sang this in 2016 for the "70th anniversary of the composer Kenes Duisekeev". Kenes wasn't sure Dimash could understand and convey the emotion at such a young age. But, we know how Dimash is. 😄 - th-cam.com/video/JKDC2fPm2rg/w-d-xo.html
John, this song is a tribute to a beloved teacher of Dimash (the composer of this song - it's his picture you see in the background) who died of Covid, and the loss was very hard on Dimash.
Es una hermosa canción e interpretación, es una delicia ! Gracias John, tu siempre tan amable y sincero en cada reacción que haces a nuestro queridísimo Dimash, que disfrutemos de una gran semana, saludos desde Colombia
This is one of my favourite songs of him... Pure artistry and pain .. without the big notes and anything happening around him ..
I suggest you check out AMANAT... Another soulful song from him that I absolutely love ❤
Dimash divino.....
No need to search for anything else when Dimash sings like this.
I've been listening to Dimаsh's songs for three years now, and I'm so used to perfect singing that I can't listen to someone's fake singing. As soon as I hear falsehood, I immediately turn on Dimash's songs.
I’m with you. This is one of my favorites. His voice is amazing without the highs. I love when he sings like this
Esta canción Dimash la canta con tanta emoción! con los ojos llenos de lágrimas, se la canta en el homeje a su profesor del Master de composición que es el autor del tema Qaragym-ay, quien fallece en la pandemia por Covid...no puedo escucharla sin llorar...
That crying tone of his just tears my heart out every time.
Dimash ❤no pudo esconder la tristeza que sentía al interpretar esa canción dedicada a uno de sus Profesores al cual estimaba mucho y el Covid terminó con su vida
Yes, this kind of song and performance gets me so much more, because of the powerful yet heartened voice. For example, we have another song in his digital show that is very emotional too. Or Samaltau in Tokio Jazz Festival or the beautiful song Omir. You reacting to Dimash and EXO, simply wonderful! 👏 The King of singers, and the Emperors of KPOP👌
A tribute to his music teacher, deceased.❤
Thank you John! This song is very powerful, and not because of vocal acrobatics, but for the emotions that Dimash makes you feel in every single verse. He is such a wonderful story teller and He know how to make the audience feel the song without even knowing the language! ❤ He is just amazing in every single way! You should react to “Diva Dance” and “Across Endless dimensions” @
Dimash es realmente maravilloso👏👏💖💖💖
The pianist here was also a student of Kenes and they wanted to show their respect for their beloved professor who died from covid. The song was written by the professor after his own daughter died, I believe. This performance is stunning. No extreme notes or complicated runs. Just purity.
Indeed, if you appreciate Dimash, and the way he interprets emotions and music, it is completely insignificant whether or not the song has particular notes going high, low, or doing any other particular trick. This has been my favourite song for 3 years now, and i don't even like piano music 😂
It’s songs like this that showcase the emotions Dimash conveys in his music. He doesn’t need to be acrobatic to touch souls.
Wow 😊 I was completely lost in that.
Dimash is so beautiful of heart and loves so deeply ❤❤❤
J'ai vu cette performance en 2016 pour l'anniversaire de son mentor Kenneth en direct devant lui c'était très beau... mais différents .
Avec les années Dimash ce dépasse encore et aujourd'hui après le décès de son mentor Kenneth cette chanson prend tout son sens... puisque le compilateur l'a écrite en pour le mariage de sa fille et son départ avec son époux pour Kenneth qui lui n'a jamais eu la chance de voir sa fille se marier elle est décédé à 19 ans ... Dimash a toujours voulu chanter cette chanson du vivant de son mentor Kenneth...qui le temporisai car c'est une chanson à la fois belle mais poignante...je suis sûre que de la ou Kenneth le regarde il doit encore être plus fière de son élève car la l'émotion est tellement réaliste et réelle que chaque fois je suis bouleversée merci beaucoup John pour tes réactions que j'attends toujours avec impatience.bisou de Paris 😘
I dont even need to know what hes actually singing-dont need the high notes all the time. We already know he can do that. Thank you for sharing the reaction.❤🇺🇲
There's a video available about this song. When Dimash met the Composer for the first time, he asked if he could sing the song. The Composer was intrigued and wanted to hear how it would be sung. After he heard Dimash sing it, he said it had always pictured the song to be sung like that. What I remembered from the video, in so many words. ❤ Hopefully someone will remember and link you.
I rarely listen to this song because the number of deaths in my life over the last 4 years has been very overwhelming.
I generally avoid the Dimash "heart wrenching" songs because I need more happiness and less tears at this time. 🙄🫤
Must admit he sings so beautifully in this ballad.
Another beautiful song I avoid regularly is Marigolds.😢
Great reaction John. So happy that you are able to appreciate all musical techniques, not just vocal acrobatics.❤️
🥰🥰🥰🇨🇦
What a wonderful reaction to this special performance. Since you enjoyed this so much I hope you'll do a beautiful song called The Meaning of Eternity. Very few reactors know about it. Can't wait to hear what you think. You are my very favorite reactor!! Thanks for loving Dimash right along with us!! ❤
The story of the song "Qaragym-ay" / "My dear". Lyrics written by Sariev Shomishbay. Music written by Duysekeev Kenes. Poet Sariev dedicates these poems to his daughter, who is getting married. In the poems, the poet conveys his feelings about how the life of his daughter will turn out with her chosen one. Father shares thoughts on the meaning of life with his daughter. In his opinion, the main meaning of life is Love. Without love, life is empty. The poet asked a friend, composer Duisekeev, to write music for his poems. The composer remembered his only sister who died when she was 19 years old. She didn't get married. That's why the song also feels the pinching sadness of the failed love.
Dimash performed the song "Qaragym-ay" on April 9, 2016 at a concert dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the composer Kenes Duisekeev. The composer was surprised by how Dimash was able to understand and convey the deep meaning of the song, despite his young age (Dimasha was 21 at the time.). After the performance of the song, the composer applauded Dimasha with the words BRAVO!!!". Composer Kenes Duysekeev was Dimash's teacher at the university. He died on July 9, 2020 from Covid-19. Dimash sang this song in memory of the composer. On the stage behind Dimash you see a portrait of Kenes Duisekeev.
In the version of the Dimash Digital Show the piano player is Zarina Bozhakova, singer, friend and one of the back vocalist of Dimash. Zarina 🎼🔝🎤❤️🌹🌹👏👏👏👏👏
Dimash is so good at portraying emotions! ✨
Thanks for the reaction, I hope you can react to Across Endless Dimensions! ☺️
Thank you, John, for choosing this song to react to. It's one of my favorite performances by Dimash for the reason you mentioned - how his voice expresses so much in the quiet moments. It's a shame so few people choose it to react to since it's "missing" his usual vocal pyrotechnics. It's these songs that caress a chill on our ears and hearts which display his exquisite technique.
So emotional,heart-captivating,intriguing.. and yet powerful.Only Dimash can sing like this.Thank you so much,John❤.
Dimash has experienced loss at a level inconsistent with his age and he is technically able to tap into his reservoir of sorrow whenever he wants to express himself musically. Beautiful reaction. Prayers from Canada.
Thank you thank you thank you for reacting to this Song. It’s one of the underrated songs for Dimash but absolutely one of my favorite songs ❤❤
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Porfa amigo reacciona a Salmatau
Si aumentas la imagen,veras las lagrimas en sus ojos.Hasta cuando esta triste ,es maravilloso❤❤❤
Well said John. Dimash is much more than high notes, he is a great artist and, in my opinion, one of the most dedicated to his art of our time.
Thank you for the support you provide to Dimash's work through your reactions.
Sending you a big hug , 🥰
A Dear from Canada❤
I think my heart breaks 💔
Wonderful ❤❤
I cried listening to this rendition of the song. Dimash heart and soul was crying out his pain. Love your reaction to it.❤❤❤❤
It’s even 😢 sadder when you are Kazakh yourself and every word goes through the bones. Kazakh people have very deep and big soul.
This song was written by Professor Dimash, with whom he studied composition at the University of Arts. In those days in the summer of 2020, in Kazakhstan, as well as throughout the world, many people died from Covid, even more people got sick, and many were left without work. And against the backdrop of all this, the Astana authorities staged a grandiose fireworks display in honor of the 80th anniversary of the long-time dictator and former president of the country Nazarbayev. People were deeply shocked and outraged, but all famous, popular people were afraid to express their indignation publicly. And only Dimash wrote an indignant post on Instagram. He wrote that if taxpayers' money is so thoughtlessly spent on fireworks and not on medicine, then soon there will be no one to watch these fireworks. This post of his had a very big response.
@ JohnReavesLive………Thank you for a very perceptive reaction, John. Without even knowing the story behind the song, you picked up on Dimash’s sorrow and anguish.
Take care and may you have safe travels. 🤗🤗💞
Salut a toi John... Un grand Merci a toi , pour Dimash , pour Nous
This one breaks my heart every time I hear it. You can see the sadness in him😔 At the same time, it puts me in a calm and introspective mode. As you always say:" Be kind to each other"❤
Dimash dedicated his performance to the great composer and Honored Artist of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kenes Duisekeyev who died of Covid in 2020
Kenes Duisekeyev was Dimash's teacher/mentor in the master's program of the Kazakh National University of Arts. Story of the song creation: The words of this composition were written more than 25 years ago and they were dedicated to the daughter of Shomishbay Sariev, who was getting married. At the request of his friend Shomishbay Nagashbaevich, Kenes Duysekeyev wrote music to the words, which in turn reflected the composer's sadness about the never-come true wedding of his 19-year-old sister, who had passed away. In the performance of Dimash, this song came to life in the composer's memories, which he was pleased with. According to the composer, Dimash was able to convey to the audience those emotions and feelings that the author of the words and himself put into them. After all, the meaning of the author's words carry one thing - love.
Personal mourning in this empty hall with only the pianist Adilzhan Tolykpaev who was also a student of Keynes Dimash spoke in an interview about Keynes his mentor teacher that Keynes always had a stern face and that made his students sometimes nervous Dimash said that he often went into kenes office and they drank tea together Dimash said he felt like visiting his grandpa
Heartbreaking 💔
Dimash is so stricken
OMG This is so sad !
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 gracias..muy triste 😭😭😭 sin palabras
When Dimash was younger he wanted to sing this and the composer didn't think he would be able to convey the emotions needed for this beautiful song, but agreed to see if he could do it as intended. Of course, he did it perfectly! The composer, one of his teachers, is the gentleman in the picture behind him and this performance was a tribute to him after his death. The emotion in this performance was real for Dimash as he has always had great respect and love for his teachers.
It is a beautiful song. Thank you for your reaction 😊🙏💕
Hello John. I am very pleased , you choose a beautiful song to react. This is a very emotional and beautiful song. The composer of this song was Dimash's teacher "Shomishbay Nagashbaevich" and the writer is "Kenes Duisekeyev" this is actually very sad song its about 19 years old sister of Dimash's teacher, who passed away. And Mr. Nagashbaevich wanted someone to sing this song, who could deliver the true feeling of his. So he knew only Dimash can do it, and he conveys the feeling( how beautiful is that) . This song was written 25 years ago but got released in 2020 and stayed in the top 10 charts for 67 weeks. Dimash is a true artist, I never get tired of his beautiful voice. ❤
Dimash is paying tribute to his teacher, whom he loved. I appreciate how much Dimash loves his teachers. A great loss to him!
Dimash rend hommage à son professeur qui est décédé du covid ❤🇨🇵
So beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
Dimash es Dimash 💯💯🇨🇷
He was really hit by the fact that people in his home was dying because the there is not enough oxygen masks in the hospitals. (And from many countries came dark stories in that time).
Bon dia. Es tracte d'una bellíssima i emocional cançó que amb la veu de Dimash pren un altre dimensió. ❤🎼❤🎼❤🎼❤🥰🥰🥰
Love your reaction...😊
Jinjer "Wallflower" pls
