In this episode, the 8 singers presented their songs. Some stories were interwoven in the songs. Among them was the choosing of the song 'Mama' by Jeryl who heard the 'new farmer' sing for his girlfriend. It is a song of missing someone you love. Then there was the kobyz player Gohar Bek who was invited to play music although he thought it was just going to a casual singing session, not one with a large stage and judges. Very intriguing episode.

In this episode, the 8 singers went to Aktau and presented their songs at the seashore. Aktau, in the Mangystau region, is a major port city beside the eastern shore of the Caspian sea. The songs featured romantic reflection and showcased different facets of the 8 singers' talents.
I was pleasantly surprised by the creative flow of the episode from the pretty music by the sea to the way the singers got to find out the order of performance (watch it to know what I mean). Very very well done. Bravo, director Dimash! The inclusion of Li Yugang, a highly skilled and acclaimed Chinese actor and singer, added a lot of cachet to the episode.
Nur Cholpon (Kyrgyzstan) – performed 'Kaalay Belem' with her guitar
She was like an enchanting nymph wrapped in white lace with her pretty smile and gorgeous melody. Li Yugang said she sang a heavenly and healing song.
Zhang Xinyu (China) – performed 《珠帘寨》(Zhū lián zhài) 'Pearl Curtain Village'
She was sassy in black skirt and boots, mixing pop with Peking opera elements. The rap intro was a pleasant surprise. Definitely a great example of contemporary crossover! And Dimash said that he became a Chinese opera fan because of her! High praise indeed.
Giulia Falcone (Italy) – performed 'Underwater'
Very European in her rust red jacket, she presented a song she wrote when she was 13. Very emotional song about love. Li Yugang expressed his admiration for her ability to compose so well at so young an age.
Princ (Serbia) – performed 'Svet Sa Istoka' (Flower From The East)
Charming as always, he sang a love song about a flower from the east. Beginning with a gentle ethnic sound, he then segued into a rock interpretation, surprising his listeners. Handsome man with electric energy, what's not to like?
La Danzhu (China) – performed 《光》(Guang) which means 'light'
She looked so romantic in her frothy light blue dress, which suited the song very much. Li Yugang said her voice sounded like it came from the mountains and seas... like a baptism on people. I agree very much. There is something otherworldly about her voice.
Jeryl Lee Pei Ling (Malaysia) – performed 《晚风吹落雪花》(Wǎn fēng chuī luò xuěhuā) (The Evening Wind Blows The Snowflakes Away)
Cai Chengyu introduced her as the treasure from Malaysia with a soothing voice that calms all the ripples and brings the soul back to tranquility. Yes she has such a beautiful tone to her voice. You could listen to it forever. She received high praise from Dimash too, who said she sounded as if it was pre-recorded (i.e. perfect).
Cai Chengyu (China) – performed 《路》(lù) (The Road)
Oh what a refreshing breath of life Cai Chengyu is! With his open smile and open arms, he invited his audience into the energy of his song. The verve of the song suited the open stage so much, with the blue sea stretching far behind him. He truly was one with his song.
Nurzhas Sadirbayev (Kazakhstan) – performed Сугірдін Термесі ((Súgirdiń termesi) which means 'Words of Sugir'
He sang with full heart and voice. Incredible vocals and stage presence. He definitely gave his all, ending with a powerful high note.
