I've noticed that a lot of people who criticise him for over performing are from the West, where we're used to artists who just want to arrive, sing the song, get paid and leave. The countries that Dimash mostly performs in expect a completely different performance. It's just western arrogance that expects all artists around the world to perform as we expect them to.

He is so awesome, isn’t he? Stranger is one of my absolute favorite songs. I get goosebumps every time I hear it. I’m a real fan of movies that have such a mystical or oriental atmosphere. And it was such a great idea by Dimash to use the Kobysz for that.

And one of the most amazing features of this voice will remain unchanged - the ability to imperiously involve, drag you into its magical space...

Thank you for appreciating Dimash.

Such a great reaction! Thanks. Musicianship is evolving and so are KZread music reactors……it’s fun to watch this symbiotic relationship twirl and collide. When Dimash came on the scene years ago, so many would not react to him just out of stubbornness or vocal snobbery, but if they stay with him , even reluctantly out of audience pressure, most often Dimash finally earns their professional respect. Watching the reactor change as much as Dimash does is an education and entertainment in itself. Thanks again for your journey with Dimash. I have been here all the way and learned much from your channel.

The instrument is a traditional Kazakh instrument called Kobyz . It had 2 strings made hour of Horse hair! Thank you for your fun filled reaction!👍❤️🇨🇦

Dimash is a story teller. Every song he sings captures your entire attention. Thank you for your reaction. Take care. ❤️🙏☮️

I love Stranger. This song is especially inspiring to Canadians as we often take for granted those displaced people among us and the courage required to start again. 🥰🇨🇦

Dimash, Igor Krutoy (Conductor, composer and producer), Yerlan “Erlan” Bekchurin (arranger) and Olzhas Qurmanbeck (Master in playing the Qoobyz or “Kobyz”, which is a two-stringed, bipolyphonic instrument of Turkish-Kazakh origin, very sacred in Kazakhstan): The Magnificent Four! We also have lyrics by Sharon Vaughn (USA) and arrangements by Dimitri Kontopoulos (Greece) and Yerlan Bekchurin (Kazakhstan)!

Hallelujah! Your metal month is over. Viva Dimash!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

' Son of a beagle' 🤣🤣 Exactly, loved your reaction Ken, thanks! Dimash is simply magnificent 💙💙

Yes, Dimash has been getting up on stage with his parents, both well respected Singers, since before the age of 2! So, the stage IS his second home. The Kobyz is a very old 2 stringed instrument, originating from Kazakhstan and surrounding region and is one of the forebears of all our modern stringed instruments today. Originally carved of a single piece of wood ( often Birch, Willow or Apricot ) with strings of horse hair and the sound chamber traditionally lined with goat skin. In ancient times its use was restricted to Shamans and Medicine Men as it was believed that it's haunting sound had the power to drive out evil spirits and heal the sick.

Dear Ken,

We get your point about how the song was sang. I say, it is a matter of style. Many times, singers differ on how to interpret a song and sometimes their interpretation is being influenced by the place they came from. But I love the song. It is apparent that in the beginning those humans who migrated to a different land were full of uncertainties about the kind of life they will be having in that foreign land. But in the end, they gathered enough nerves and made a forceful decision to go on and face whatever life they will have in that stranger's land.

I agree Dimash is a hypnotic snake charmer when he sings. He has said that in order to get a hundred percent from his audience he has to give one hundred percent to his audience!

Dimash is the best singer in the WORLD and there are no doubts about that, his voice is a prodigy of nature and a genetic marvel since his parents are two glories of singing from Kazakhstan since he was 5 years old, he sings publicly and has more than twenty years of lyrical training and graduated from the university of music, he is a singer, composer, arranger and multi instrumentalist, he plays more than seven musical instruments and sings in more than twelve(12) languages, he is also a great performer and a great artist who lives and feels music He is not an imitator of voices , Dimash has his own style and is one of the forerunners of the "POPera" he also has a very pleasant, HUMBLE and simple personality, easy access, which makes it very easy to follow, he always travels with His family and friends is a very educated person and an example to follow, he has become known for his musical talent not for getting into trouble or scandals, It has a very wide vocal range of approximately 7 octaves ,he is a singer with a wide vocal range very versatile is Baritone, TENOR , Soprano, counter TENOR, mezasoprano, everything at the same time is how to have 5 singers in one, it has a male and female voice, also many resources such as vibrato, "melismas", falsetto, Staccato,whistle tone, reaching a( D8 )live "Outside of Piano"at the concert of Gakku in an unforgettable day, at his young age he continues to improve and grow musically to perfection, he has a good physical presence he measures 191 cm or 6 "3", he is very famous and recognized in Asia and now he is becoming known In Europe and America, ALL their songs are spectacular, it always goes from low to high, soft to spectacular at the end, in my almost half a century of life I never heard so much quality and it is the hope of continuity of the classical genre because all the old tenors have already Almost all of them died and Dimash can sing like them but none of them can sing like Dimash, being a Man he sings better than any Tenor and his female voice is superior to that of any average Soprano, greetings and a hug from USA 🇺🇸 "Dears" Forever ❤️ Sorry for copying and pasting my informative comment in ALL the Video reactions to Dimash what I see but I do it with the intention of sharing information about him and what I think that in the music industry there are many artists who have been successful and have no talent and are bad people and they do not set a good example for the youth, Dimash and his music deserve to triumph in America, Europe and the whole WORLD, do you want to have already read my comment please come by without problem there is always someone who for the first time knows this information and I won't get tired of sharing it with all my friends"Dear" around the world, thanks for reading and for supporting Dimash 🙏🏻S.O.S.
