On the 'Voice Beyond Horizon' episode finale, Dimash and Mansur performed the song 'When I've Got You' so very very well. Watching the two, I could see how much more confident and self-assured Dimash is in performing in English... and the audience reaction was so favourable.  Especially from the women.  He was definitely radiating some serious heat on that stage.  As for Mansur, it was such a pleasure seeing how he has transformed from that hesitant shy young man to a more poised musician in tune with his instrument. I look forward to seeing him bloom and fly high.

Warning : This is not an objective review ... I was in full-on fan mode! To kick off the show, judge Cai Guoqing presented a song  三百六十五个祝福  Sānbǎi liùshíwǔ gè zhùfú (365 Blessings) La Danzhu  and  Zhang Xinyu  (both from China) – performed ' 波阿妞妞 ' Fèng huáng yi (Phoenix)  Fresh with inspiration from the Pink Lake, both sang of the confidence and strength of women.

Had goosebumps on my forearms!  This could be an anthem for women as they move forward. Jeryl Lee Pei Ling  (Malaysia) and  Princ  (Serbia) – performed  Love Will Never Die   The performance bega...

 Kursiv Media Kazakhstan published an article where Dimash talked about the business of song and navigating the modern industry.  It sheds some light on what a veteran thinks of the changing music industry landscape.  Yerlan Iskakov reported : Kazakh singer Dimash Qudaibergen described music as a powerful diplomatic tool during an interview at the Freedom Inside 2026 forum in Astana. «Music is an indispensable diplomatic tool. I will continue my work in this direction. Our arms are always open to anyone who wants to be friends with our people and Kazakhstan,» he said. «Music is a magical phenomenon. I don’t have enough words to describe its power,» he added.

 Seeing Dimash in the piano seat, I am immediately reminded of Igor Krutoy playing the piano for Dimash's performances.  Now it is his turn to support another.  And Nurzhas Sadirbayev is an absolute monster of a talent.  His singing is incredible... very emotive and he can navigate intricate vocal pathways. This song is a beauty.  But yes, that is a given, seeing it was composed by Dimash.
