The two-minutes long performance was enough for DImash to showcase his wide vocal range, earning the nickname of “The Six Octave Ma” and the highest punctuation of the night: 98 out of 100.

The celebrity judge panel, which includes actress Drew Barrymore, drag superstar RuPaul Charles, and country singer Faith Hill, gave Dimash a perfect score. However, of the board with 50 experts in various genres from the entertainment field, only two didn’t give their vote to the singer.

"If I closed my eyes, I would've thought there were at least eight to 10 people singing," Drew Barrymore told Dimash after his performance. "One minute you're Queen, and the next minute you're Pavarotti, and I'm like, how is this all happening out of one person?”

RuPaul, on the other hand, said: “You are the reason World's Best was created!”

On his introductory video, the Dimash explained a bit about his career, saying:

“The first time I stepped on stage I was 2. I've been performing music for the past 20 years. When I got older, I got a deeper voice, but my high-pitched voice stayed with me. So now I have a very big vocal range."
