NOTICE:

Before I even get into this thread, I'd like to make a few things clear (these things apply to any threads for a specific singer, but as this one seems to be a magnet for arguments, I'm going to state them again here):
1. Don't host debates about singing technique and just singing in general here. This thread is to discuss Dimash. There are plenty of threads for discussing singing more generally without the focus on one vocalist, and you can create one yourself if you'd like to.
2. Don't toot your own horn about your singing ability or vocal range. Again, we're just here to discuss the singer in question. There is a separate section of the forum for discussing our own vocals.
3. Don't be unnecessarily antagonistic. If you have a point to raise, do it diplomatically, and don't tear into somebody else for disagreeing. Likewise if you disagree with someone, don't tear into them for that.

If you do this stuff, your posts will likely be moved to a different thread or removed altogether. This isn't us trying to pick on or silence anyone- these are the rules and everybody has to do their best to stick to them.

{Vocal Analysis}Although gauging where Dimash's natural tessitura sits is challenging, in previous interviews he has described his natural placement as that of 'an ordinary tenor.' I would on balance agree with this assertion; with even recordings from his early career displaying competent singing as low as G2 suggesting his voice has never been unusually high.
Dimash possesses an extremely accomplished belting range; although he has the versatility to switch (sometimes in the same song) from a richer, operatic fourth octave tone to a much softer, almost feminine one, his preferred approach is a more blended mix which he regularly carries up into the mid fifth octave, and has even pushed as high as C6 on occasion. Dimash is also known for his operatically styled falsetto register as a regular feature of his vocals; with some of the most comfortable sounding ventures above C6 I've heard from a male vocalist, he has shown the capacity to reach up as high as F♯6 with unerring control.
Dimash's mid-range is likewise flexible between both a softer approach and a weightier, more masculine one. Although usually second fiddle to his upper register, Dimash's lower register is also fairly strong, being readily capable of producing warm, comfortable notes in the upper second octave, and even performing sung passages bottoming as low as E2. The final, lesser-spotted tool in Dimash's arsenal is his whistle register; although he seldom uses it today, he has displayed the ability to hit and even sustain whistle notes as high as D8, albeit with a somewhat shrill tone (although in fairness, his whistle register so far has been entirely displayed in notes in the early seventh octave or higher.) Throughout his registers, Dimash also regularly shows off his control through heavy vibrato, rapid staccatos and melismatic runs and lengthy sustained notes.
With a large proportion of Dimash's appearances coming at galas, variety shows and other television events, and him still yet to release his debut album, a lot of his performances are simply playback- generally, when in concert Dimash seldom resorts to this, although it has reared its head on a few of his (admittedly extremely demanding) passages. In standalone live performances, Dimash's live control is typically superb, with his Singer 2017 performances in particular being some of the most technically accomplished I've ever heard from any vocalist. In lengthier concerts, on the other hand, he typically has to make adjustments presumably to conserve stamina, strategically leaving out certain more demanding passages. His belts under some circumstances can be a little pitchy live (although he famously also has a habit for taking out his in-ear monitors) but in general are still impressive, retaining his ability to change from a softer approach to really attacking the high notes, and still consistently sustaining mixed notes up to around F5 and pushing higher in some instances. His highest falsetto notes he's usually more inclined to leave out altogether (although admittedly they're not always integral to the song) and when he does go for them, he can still execute sixth octave notes with his usual impressive control. He's more inclined to leave out lower passages in concert requiring agility to reach down into the second octave, although still has produced some nice low singing on other occasions and can generally still switch up his tone live with ease.
All in all, Dimash is an exceptional talent, and one of the most technically accomplished singers in music today.

Range-iest Song: "Kinalama" (Khabar TV 2015) (G♯2-G♯7, 5 Octaves)


Kazakh singer and musician, who after gaining prominence as a young performer in his homeland and winning several contests such as the 2015 Slavic Bazaar rose to wider popularity after competing on the 2017 edition of the Chinese talent show 'I Am a Singer' (我是歌手, Wǒ Shì Gēshǒu) and finishing as runner-up as the show's youngest contestant, since when he has received a number of accolades as a musician in China and wider Asia. The son of two accomplished musicians and classically trained as a vocalist, and best known for his extreme agility and vocal acrobatics in his upper register, though his mid-range and lower register is refreshingly pleasant; he'll frequently put the lot of them through their paces in a single song. If I could sum his performances up in one quote, it'd be from Frasier Crane in the episode "They're Playing Our Song" in reply to being reminded that 'less is more': "If less is more, just think how much more more will be!"

(Note: Where possible, songs have been listed by the original titles under which they were released as opposed to English translations. Some better-known to English-speaking audiences by different English titles have been listed in English, e.g. Vitas' "Crane's Crying" (as opposed to 'Krikom Zhuravlinym'.))

{Song Titles In English (To the Best of My Ability)} These are English translations of some of the song titles in the OP, or at least, the names they're more commonly known by in English (some I was unable to find, others, like "Belovezhskaya Puscha", are only known particularly by their original titles):

"Akkuym" - "My Swan"
"Ak Tilek" - "Best Wishes"
"Astana Valsi" - "Astana Waltz"
"Asyl Anashym" - "Precious Mother"
"Gresnaya Strast" - "Sinful Passion"
"Juldizim" - "My Star" (the song performed live with Ayree also seems to be called, or at least is rendered in the English alphabet as "Juldizim" but is a different song from Dimash's 'Juldizim', though I'm unaware as to who wrote it or if it may mean something entirely different in Kazakh)
"Karagim Ay" - "My Dear"
"Karatorgai" - "Starling"
"Kim Eken" - "The Crown"
"Kirmeshi Zhiyi Tusime" - "Don't Make Me Dream"
"Körkemim" - "My Belle"
"Lyubov' Pokhozhaya Na Son" - "Love Is Like A Dream"
"Lyubov Ustavshikh Lebedey" - "The Love of Tired Swans"
"Makhabbat Ber Magan" - "Give Me Love"
"Opyat Matel" - "Blizzard Again"
"Sağındım Seni" - "Missing You"
"Salem" - "Hello"
"Soz Soni" - "At Last"
"Tsvetok Zhasmina" - "Jasmine Flower"
"Tugan Jer" - "My Home" (this is a different song from Dimash's original song 'Tugan Zher' and not written by Dimash himself, though they translate roughly the same in English.)
"Tugan Zher" - "My Homeland/Place of Birth"
"Umytylmas Kun" - "Unforgettable Day"
"Ya Lyublyu Tilki Tebe" - "I Only Love You"
"Yerkeleteyin" - "Cherishing You"

{Questionable Notes}B♭5 ("Umytylmas Kun" live Sicuan Summer Yak Music Festival [1])

G♯2 ("Sağındım Seni (Version One)" [2])
F2 ("Opyat Matel" (Kazakh version) [1])
E2 ("Umytylmas Kun" Live Acapella 2017 [3])
D2 ("Lyubov' Pokhozhaya Na Son"[1a.], "Lyubov Ustavshikh Lebedey"[1a.][4])
B♭1 ("Our Love" Live on The Masked Singer 2019[5a])
A1 ("Lyubov' Pokhozhaya Na Son"[1][4a])
G♯1 ("Our Love" Live on The Masked Singer 2019[1][4b])

(There have also been several sources that have stated Dimash hits a C2 in 'Gresnaya Strast'/'Sinful Passion', although from what I can hear, it doesn't get below E2-F2 territory. In any case, we do not count this note on TRP- it would come under [1]- 'anacrusis and short dips in lower range', being just a quick dip at the start of a phrase and too brief to really have any audible tone or show control/intent.)
.......................................................
[1] marks yelps and short trills in high range or anacrusis and short dips in low range.
(a). These notes are comparable to the alleged C2, but if anything, even more brief. The pitch is not 'significant', being neither controlled nor intended.
[2] marks notes of questionable identity that cannot be confirmed to be the singer in question.
[3] marks non-melodic notes that don't have a significant enough pitch to warrant inclusion.
[4] marks notes that possess uncertain pitch or have been pitch-shifted.
(a). This is apparently the lowest pitch which analysts monitoring the vocals in this song were able to discern.
♭. The passage containing the B♭1 may also dip down here briefly.
[5] marks notes that do not fit the previous criteria but are not of a substantial enough quality to warrant counting towards the singer's range.
(a). I'm on the fence about this note; despite being very breathy, he does hit the pitch quite clearly and intentionally. For now I'm listing it as questionable, but I'll listen to the general opinion on it and may count it if Dimash showcases more notes with a similar technique in future songs.

His voice did seem to have changed from a young boy's, particularly as he said in an interview once that he was 'the highest soprano' in his childhood choir, but is definitely 'brighter' in timbre than his voice as an adult, so I'm choosing to list these separately here.)

Original thread and research done by IhateMana, which included all of Dimash's 'Singer' 2017 performances and his original recorded tracks available at the time. Additional thanks also to bullypnch, vienna, juliasligo and many other users for contributing links to all these additional live performances.

New song: "Your Love", 8th March 2020 in Kremlin
I think, the range is F2-G5-F6, but I'm not experienced at note watching, so please others check.

It is an F#6. But is it him though?

There is an F2 but it is up to the OP whether it is to be counted. Other than that, the lowest is a C3.
From belt and mix - C#5, Eb5, F#5 (might be boldworthy), G5.
Head notes - staccati up to F6.

So C3-G5-F6, with an F2 that might be counted depending on the OP's decision. 

[rebaru]

I see no reason to not count the F2s at 1:00 or 1:16

No, it's probably Santa Clause ;)

That was a genuine question though. That F#6 was way less thin than many of his Eb6s he has done before (both studio and live). Why I do personally think it's probably him, we cannot be 100% sure till we see him do that note somewhere else (and I do think we will at some point considering he has been doing F6s way more often recently). 

[glycerine]

That's absolutely his timbre and style. And why should he use the voice of someone else for his own concert promo? And it's just logical that he can hit it, and I personally don't know any other male (and that's a male voice, with his typical tone, style and technique) who goes up that high in head voice. The "fullness argument" is weird imo. He has much fuller E6s and F6s, and that's thinner anyway than what he already sang one or two semitones below. That's actually exactly what I assumed that note would sound from him. Then maaany studio notes would be questionable, especially those with range gaps.

But you know what? I don't even care. The OP shall do with his thead whatever he wants.

[falsetokaiba]

I'd definitely buy that F#6 as him. It certainly sounds like him, and the falsetto stuff earlier in the video I'd be 100% confident is him. I know Dimash may have used lipsyncing and such live before, but I would still say he's got enough integrity not to go full Vitas and actually invent notes, and I can think of at least one other male singer that I know of who has hit an F#6 in falsetto. I hope we'll find out in time what that F#6 is actually from, if it's part of a new song- for now, I'll just put it down as something like 'Arnau New York City promotional video'.
And yeah, those F2s in that new song are definitely countable, I'll add the notes from it now. I probably won't be adding any more bolds to the Dimash thread for note sections that already have bolded notes- I usually don't go for more than a couple of bold notes per section; Dimash has a lot of great sustained high notes, so I've just tried to pick a small selection of my favourite examples.

F6s in head voice in a vocal improv at his solo concert in Riga a few weeks ago. It wasn't his veeeey best day, he sang with fever, but the pitch is good

Between E6-F6 actually.Closer to F6 but not straight F6.

[findingword]

His Bb1 from his performance on the Masked Singer seems legitimate. Why isn’t it counted? The pitch sounds fine to me and it also sounded intentional.

[falsetokaiba]

I'm inclined to say that bit sounds closer to D6-E6 than Eb6-F6. Cool find either way :)

To me it sounds like a rubber duck making an F6 sound  :D

The sustained note is an Eb6. But in the staccati after the Eb6 are 2 F6s :)

I checked it with a spectrogram and he doesn't touch an F6 there. I'm sorry.

His “Our Love” performance. At the beginning.

It's spoken. Not sung. And it doesn't have much tone in all honesty. I personally wouldn't count it. It's literally just a vestibular growl.

What's your opinion on this? Would it maybe be good to replace the bolded Eb6 in Opera 2 with that one?

(Btw, if you want to have an Opera 2 chorus note bolded, you could e.g. use the first chorus with the C6 instead. There's no bold C6 yet)

It's pretty good. Not sure if boldworthy though. 

I also think that one E6 from the duet with Yasmin should be bolded.

However, the note itself is fuller than the one in Opera 2. What do you think? And Opera 2 for the C6 instead would be a rather good deal imo. About the E6: Falsetokaiba says that he only wants to use 1 bold per note hmm

Btw, what happened to the note collection made by users? They had collected many new notes for this thread. I remember e.g. an F#2 in a live performance of All by Myself, Bb5s or B5s in mix on the studio record of Just Let It be and several new E6s

There was one member who was acting... alternatively and was banned, and the thread was cleared.

Pretty sure the OP said he had noted all of that notewatching. In any case, he can see the hidden posts so not to worry~
