Start new TV contest "People's Artist"

On Saturday 11 March starts on the channel "Russia", the third season of the hit musical show "People's Artist". Viewers will see every week to see how many applicants will be selected to be the most vocal, the artistic, the charismatic young singer or singers. In June, the election of the new Russian pop idol will be completed -. With a multilevel public voting via SMS and phone Seen in the first series of the TV project, as the qualifying rounds were held in different cities of Russia - in the company of new major project Olga Shelest and Oskar Kuchera. Especially for News Music preparation for the launch of the "People's Artist-3" kindly commented jury member Eugene Friedland - a famous music producer, head of the FBI. - A change in the concept of "People's Artist" has to learn when in comparison to last season? - The format of the show has not changed. This time, we have only changed the method of selection of the final results of the 30 pre-selected finalists. If before they were composed three groups of ten singers and audience vote already took most nearly, now this function is passed to the jury. But as always, the "People's Artist" chosen people - in the process of multi-week show with a knockout. - What activities Selection jury came, there were many disputes over who the better candidate? - Working with other members of the jury, I have enjoyed. Even though we all come from different backgrounds, from different segments of the artistic world, but the unity in the final selection was fantastic. Of course, the complete unanimity we had not expected, but the general understanding was literally at the sight. The first stage of the selection process this year was held in seven cities in Russia, and we are specifically assigned to the different members of the jury in several cities - so everyone brought them to Moscow a "catch" - in line with his personal vision the artist. But the picture that turned out in the end, if we all of these talented young men and women have in common - pleasantly surprised with all of us and the level of talent. - What will be the musical repertoire of the project? - The weekly concerts of the "People's Artist" we rely on proven material. Most are to our national song classics back. This is not because of the wish to provide and the demand of the new hit to fulfill repertoire. The fact that we still broadcast on the state channel and enlightening, educational role for me - not an empty phrase. If we go to the different regions of Russia and the interaction with other people, I was very aware of the situation in the field of popular music education. Say, all full of good academic voices of the people, but the clever young pop singers of the country - the deficit. The reason is trivial - close the pop-jazz department at schools in many cities. As a result, an entire generation for the stage is almost lost. In order to keep the youth and music in general, we want to build our Saturday night coverage of the best examples of the genre of song and affect the taste and the heads of the young musicians. Today, song, alas, rarely are counted as such. - Based on the classic question of whether there may be too many "remakes" in your work? Is there a chance to hear songs performed by young artists, young people hear today? Too many "cover versions" not. Fresh, original song material audience "People's Artist" is also heard, but closer to the last show, when the fight lead 5:04 best. I'm sure Kim wide castle some new songs that I write specifically for our members and we hope that Maxim Dunajewski, a member of our jury, will present his singing gift. Concert program will run on the channel "Russia" every Saturday at 18-50. Each of the musical evening will be the creative works of some famous composers or entire threads devoted - one of them, for example, but absolutely revel in naphthalene "People's Artist" not threatened "melodies and rhythms of the foreign stage." - Contemporary Russian and foreign music , we will not forget. So, one of the concerts of new products, which are not now be paid from radio playlists. The code name of the theme - "Hit Parade of Europe Plus" - in honor of the radio station, which our project very friendly. But anyway, we as organizers and perpetrators of the program is a continuous trend is even foreign songs with Russian lyrics so. An extension of their lives and increasingly popular with the Russian public For the "People's Artist" has become really popular, and this is only possible donesya text content of the songs in the hearts of millions of viewers.
