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 ...

 I went for a 'Virtuosos:Superstars And Prodigies' Concert in Singapore on 21 October 2024 and got way more than I thought I would. Yes, the primary attraction was Dimash, especially when I found out he would be singing 'The Show Must Go On'.  Ever since I saw how he sang this song on The Singer 2017, I have been wanting to see him sing it again.  Finally I got my wish at Singapore.   Virtuosos is a classical music talent show with a unique format, focusing on discovering young classical talent and then giving the talented youngsters a chance to develop and progress in a way that few others have. The program broadcast the concert on April 25, 2025 and I have been watching it over and over again.  Not only because of Dimash and the other Superstars Hauser and Placido Domingo but also because of the prodigies such as Ali Lugosi and his dancing clarinet, Teo Gertler with his wonderful violin, 2harps oh so sweet, Soma who did amazing things on the piano wow... ...

 Dimash's latest release, Love’s Not Over Yet, is a deeply emotional ballad that lays bare his deepest wishes and heartaches—expressing the pain of a love that has slipped beyond his reach. This is a true heartbreak song, one that lingers in the soul long after the final note fades.   It's nearly impossible to stay dry-eyed when hearing lyrics like these...  Each time I close my eyes I see you here with me I would give it all to hold you near to me Yet you're always just beyond my reach And if the song alone wasn’t enough to stir emotions, the music video takes it even further.  It tells the poignant story of childhood sweethearts whose love matures into a beautiful marriage and the joy of raising a child together. But just as happiness seems to be theirs, tragedy strikes—the wife and daughter seem to have vanished (in a plane crash?), leaving behind an aching void. With such an emotional cliffhanger, I can only hope that Part Two arrives soon. The wait is alrea...

 Reading the article " More Than Singer: Why World Needs Dimash Now More Than Ever " from The Astana Times, I find it a deeply reflective perspective on Dimash's role as an artist. The writer Aida Haidar acknowledges Dimash's extraordinary vocal range and talent but highlights how his music is more than mere entertainment. Aida emphasizes his emotional depth and the power of his performances, which go beyond just songs—they become experiences that resonate with listeners on a profound, personal level. Aida Haidar also touches on Dimash's ability to unite people globally, fostering a sense of togetherness through his music and his humble, authentic persona. The article suggests that Dimash's influence and the messages in his songs, such as the call for peace and unity in "The Story of One Sky," are especially important in the current world, which faces challenges like war, division, and tragedy. In times like these, artists like Dimash are more than j...

 Ah yes, the question that keeps getting asked.   Every time I ask this question in the International Fan Club, I get different answers. I myself keep changing my mind. I suppose it's a personal thing.  So today I thought of asking ChatGPT this. And this is what the AI said: Number One : Love Is Like A Dream - a beautiful and emotional ballad that resonates with many fans Number Two : Olimpico (aka Ogni Pietra) - powerful and dramatic  Number Three : Sinful Passion - noted for its technical difficulty and Dimash's incredible vocal range Number Four : Love of Tired Swans - it was the most viewed song on Russia 1 YouTube Channel in 2018, won an award for best song in the same year and praiseworthy for the composition and performance  Number Five : Stranger - a fan favourite known for its haunting melody and lyrics.  Number Six : When I've Got You - a newer song that gained significant popularity  Personally, I'd add ' SOS D'un Terrien Un...

 Dimash's latest single 'Love's Not Over Yet' will be released early March.  I am so looking forward to it.  A preview is available on Apple Music. Apple Music Preview

 Dimash is one of the most photogenic people I've ever seen.  It seems he looks good no matter what angle he is photographed.  He claims it's all due to makeup but well, he has been seen without makeup and still looks absolutely gorgeous. Since he flits about from country to country and his photos are in multiple platforms, I am trying to compile a page of links to the galleries on DimashNews and in Weibo, where he has two 'Dimash Studios', old and new .  Some of the galleries on DimashNews can only be found on the Russian version of the site. Well, here is the link to my page of links... it's not complete as there are so many links.  It's a start. https://dimashdq.blogspot.com/p/dimash-qudaibergens-galleries-of-photos.html
