I sometimes scroll through YouTube to watch reactions to Dimash, to hear what others say about him and his art and to get insights from other artists who see Dimash through the lens of their own skills and talents. I like Sir Hairless for his POV as a musician,  And sometimes I like to see what a guy like me (not a musician, not a performer) sees. Such as QofyReacts. QoFyReacts finally went to see Dimash in concert for the first time after reacting to his videos for four years.  Dimash blew his mind. Dears' love for Dimash awed him. And he said Dimash was so appreciative ... it was as if he came to meet his dears, not them coming to meet him. I liked this reaction a lot.

 When I was preparing to go for a Dimash concert in 2023, I found myself scrambling for a lyrics book so I could practise singing his songs. I didn't want to be caught unable to sing... and I didn't want to leave Dimash disappointed.   I was trying to figure out how to create one (for my own use) and was asking other dears how they managed. Some used their phones while others made cards or little books. So I thought, okay, I'll make my own book. And so I did, with help from other dears.   I wanted to print copies of the book but ran out of time. This turned out to be a good thing, actually. The arena was so dark that it was impossible to read any printed material. In the end, reading the lyrics off my phone was the best strategy.   I made the booklet in a format suitable for the phone (Instagram story format) and clear background just in case anyone wanted to print it. Well, that was the 2023 book.   Today I share an updated book , a...

 I love stories. Stories in books, stories in paintings, stories screaming from a friend’s tense expression… even stories in a leaf drifting down to the earth. I watch and wonder: Why are you leaving your tree? What have you seen? And of course, I love the storytellers. Those rare, wondrous people who can spin a tale so rich, so vivid, that I gladly lose myself in the world their words create. Some of my favorites? William Shakespeare , he of the twisty, sardonic phrases that dance between comedy and tragedy. Emily Dickinson leaves me with more questions than answers — her prose a puzzle I return to again and again. Oscar Wilde , with his irreverent wit, prances across the page like a well-dressed fox. And even e.e. cummings , whose words never sat where they were supposed to — but somehow still made perfect sense. I’ve read their works over and over again. Each time reveals something I missed before — a tiny gem, a secret tucked between the lines. But storytellers like these are ...

 Dimash sang Edith Piaf's 'Hymne à L'amour' at the Opening Ceremony of the Shanghai International Film Festival on June 21, 2025.  What an incredible performance!  I think it has become one of my top recommended videos to new people.  Dimash really presented something that fit the many colours of a film festival.

 Happy birthday, Dimash ... thank you for all the groundbreaking music, thank you for the ways you do things so differently and thank you for the wild colours you have brought into the lives of so many.  There will never be anyone like you.

 Watching Dimash's 'Tau Ishinde' video, I couldn't help but laugh at all the funny moments ... so many winks at his fandom.  And it obviously made many others happy as it hit a million views fast! That man knows stuff about his fandom, doesn't he?  But I bet he held back more than he allowed to show in that crazy laugh fest of a video. Of course, Dimash is never WYSIWYG.  Never.  So I watched the video again and again... and slowly I realised that he was telling us things through the song... things that are starkly different from the visuals on that Karina video. LOL.  Okay, Dimash, we will laugh along with you.  But we also get what you are trying to say. I made a Spotify playlist because of this very interesting song. My playlist is basically inspired by the idea that love is everlasting eternal springtime inside our hearts and souls... and sometimes it can seem as if it's inside a massive mountain echoing and reverberating a power nothing can ...
