Nine years ago, Dimash stepped up on a stage in China and performed so spectacularly that countless lives were changed.  That decision of his triggered so many to start doing things they had forgotten or never done before... in music and art.  So many got passports, bought tickets so they could fly to concerts in cities they had never heard of before.  Many more installed apps so they could get more of his music.  Going far beyond their comfort zone...  Here is that incredible SOS D'un Terrien En Detresse on the Singer 2017 stage. And a week later, he blew people's socks off with his interpretation of 'Opera 2'. 'Opera 2' was the absolute first Dimash video I saw and watched to the end.  And today is exactly nine years since that broadcast. If I had seen other videos before that, I didn't understand them as Dimash videos and I don't remember them.  But this THIS was the absolute first one that hit me like a sledgehammer. And changed the way I spe...

 I love calendars.  And I especially love Dimash calendars. Here are two for 2026. Remembering two of Dimash's musical journeys; The Singer 2017 and his Stranger concerts.  The Singer 2017 flipbook See photos of each of his iconic performances on the program. The photos are from Dimash's Weibo. Stranger concerts flipbook Each month is represented by the first 12 concert cities, a photo from each concert and quotes taken from interviews and Dimash's posts. The photos are from galleries on Dimashnews portal. The calendars are also downloadable on Google Drive .    Thank you, Dimash Qudaibergen, for the music. You will never really understand just how many lives your art has influenced.

 When I saw Dimash's song 'Fire' on The Recording Academy's YouTube channel (Global Spin series), my heart jumped!  Who doesn't know that the Recording Academy is the organisation behind the Grammys?? For him to be spotlighted like this was fantastic! I found out that Global Spin is a performance series featuring artists from around the world where the celebration of the global music community is the focus.  Yeah, Dimash definitely is global. They also posted this on their website and socmed.

 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 ...

 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...
