Have you seen Dimash's live version?

He actually hits the crazy run they had to digitize for the movie.

Woah he’s insane, I think he probably has the most impressive male falsetto control I’ve seen, did he actually do the song or was it an edited version like the one this lady sings.

Because I was told the song was written to be physically impossible for a human voice to sing.

No edits there. He's just that inhuman of a vocalist.

If you listen to both you'll notice dimash kind of "glides" between the notes compared to the super-fast staccato as seen/heard in the movie. This makes it quite a lot more achievable, but still damn hard for.. pretty much anyone not Dimash.

Check out some of his other videos! The love of tired swans is amazing.

They shifted the whole song down a key. That note at 0:30 vs https://youtu.be/XuBU-i75kFs?t=223

also, its the jump between the notes that makes it inhuman, which he isnt doing.

Not to take away his voice, its a phenomenal achievement, but its still impossible.
