Dimash : What The Universe Wanted

Dimash Eurasian Fan Club made a tribute video to Dimash which I found really touching.  And they had combined audio of Dimash himself sharing some of his thoughts.  They are worth knowing. "I remember that I have been performing onstage from the age of five.  I feel at home on stage.  Relaxed and free, because I trust my listeners, the listeners trust me.  We have some kind of magical connection. I have dreamed of becoming an artist since childhood.  I never thought about getting another profession.  "First of all, being an artist is a great happiness.  Happiness is when you are loved." "That's what the universe wanted, I don't know." #dimash #迪玛希 #Димаш

Dimash Has Me Entranced

One of the reasons I'm still hopelessly lost in Dimash's world of entrancing music is that I keep encountering jaw-dropping performances that he puts on for us and I never get tired of viewing them. One special performance was 'Love of Tired Swans' with Igor Krutoy at MUZ-TV 2019 Awards show. He sang so beautifully on an incredibly mesmerising stage with amazing dancers telling the story with lush visuals and enchanting effects. Then, as if all that wasn't enough, there was a few moments with a swan in a water column. I'm enchanted! 

Dimash... Charismatic To The Nth Degree

 One of the first things I noticed about Dimash way back in 2017 was how good he was at pulling people's eyes to him.  Practically riveting those helpless people's eyes to him.  It's awesome to watch this happen.  Naturally, I'm one of his hapless victims. Magnetism, charisma, aura... call it what you may, he has it by the boatload.

One is PRESENCE.  Being in the moment.  Being there in the place, with the people. Nothing is as magnetic as someone who is interested in you.  Dimash has this in spades, I'm sure you agree. Another is POWER.  Believing you are where you are meant to be.  Believing you are worthy and that your skills and passion have value and are interesting to others.  Yep, another tick for Dimash.

'Dimash Digital Show' 16 January 2021

Dimash premiered his 'Dimash Digital Show' on the 16th of January 2021 and oh what a glorious extravaganza it was.. very rich and lush.  It wasn't a live online concert and was more like a sequence of performances with visual effects.  Later on, during an interview, Dimash revealed the recording took place over the space of a day and night.   He opened the show looking bright in a maroon red suit, sitting in a room watching a video of himself performing and then launching into 'Ogni Pietra'.  Then he moved out of the room and onto a stage with a band.  With scarcely a beat, Dimash went on to the next song 'Give Me Your Love'... and for the first time, I really really felt the song.  It's actually a song with shades of the Mo-town sound, making you think of the Jacksons but yet uniquely Dimash's sound.  The first few times he performed it, I didn't 'feel' it.  But this time I did.  He had the right vibes... very right.    'Give Me Your
