Here is a lovely video (from 2017) I came across the other day, which fits Pride month very well:
It's been 50 Years since Homosexuality was decriminalised, and times have changed. So we sat down an openly gay 13 year Old Louis and an Openly Gay 78 year old Percy to have a chat about the differences 50 years have made on Gay Culture and Acceptance.

Daily Dimash 10: Unforgettable Day
Dimash wrote ‘Unforgettable Day’ when he was just a nineteen, and I love that he chose one of his own songs to perform on the show. He had the lyrics re-written in Mandarin so he could sing it & the audience would understand. It's probably one of my favourite tunes, plus the arrangement is beautiful.
Performance at The Singer (no subtitles):
Gloria Wu's video - lots of Behind the Scenes stuff which is delightful, including him going back to visit his school/uni & childhood memories.
Then on the 16th of September (still in 2017) Dimash performed as the headliner at the Gakku Open-Air Festival in Almaty (Kazakhstan), to a crowd of 150,000 people. (Technical info: Prior to this event, his highest recorded note was G#7 in whistle register, on par with Mariah Carey. At the Gakku Festival, he surpassed himself by hitting D8 during "Unforgettable Day". If you want to know what that sounds like... listen! :) Basically, it's off the piano.)
He also performed it at Bastau. The video won't let me embed, but you can find it here:
Dimash - Unforgettable Day, Bastau 2017
ETA: He also performed it at Miss World 2018:
( Reaction videos under the cut, with people who can explain stuff )
