According to Rolling Stone, Ray Charles was ranked tenth on the "100" list in 2004. greatest performers of all time", and in 2008 he took second place in the list of "100 Greatest Singers of All Time".

At the beginning of Elvis Presley's musical career, nothing foreshadowed such unprecedented success for him. An unremarkable American boy, a truck driver, tried to get into big stage, fulfilling their own compositions in country style. Everything changed in an instant, the composition “Heatbreak hotel”, recorded by him in 1956, made him famous overnight. He instantly became an American idol; tens of thousands of young Americans wanted to be, at least in appearance and behavior, similar to Elvis. And all the girls dreamed and dreamed about him. In the sixties, when famous singers dressed and behaved on stage rather conservatively, young Presley was among them, like a bright firebird who somehow ended up in an inconspicuous chicken coop. His unusual outfits, relaxed movements, and overt sexuality seemed provocative to the older generation, and the youth of America simply went crazy about him. To say that Elvis Presley was a popular singer is to say nothing. He was the idol and idol of millions of fans, and not only in America. This talented and bright singer very quickly gained worldwide fame. But not everyone passes the test of fame, and this happened with Presley.

But, despite the fact that the singer has not been in this world for a long time, his songs are still loved and listened to, and the house where he lived is a place of pilgrimage for fans of Elvis Presley’s talent.

Avis Presley has also been repeatedly recognized as one of the most beautiful men in the world!

Frank Sinatra

Greatest American singer Frank Sinatra had an amazing velvety timbre of his voice, and his natural elegance, white-toothed smile, and intelligent manners played no less effectively on the image of a talented soloist. In the 50-60s, at the height of his popularity, he was the true voice of America, and although he did not make musical tours to other countries, his songs were heard not only in his native country. In addition to his singing career, Frank Sinatra starred in twenty films and even won an Oscar for his first role in the film “From Here to Eternity.” This unique singer lived long life, and almost until the very end did not leave the musical Olympus, being creative until a very old age. He died in 1998, and on the day of his death, national mourning was declared in America, all entertainment programs were cancelled, flags were lowered.

Another popular British singer, songwriter, actor, and a favorite of fans of his talent is Robbie Williams, whose global album sales exceed 59 million. For his unusually velvety voice timbre and original manner of performance, Elton John called the singer “the Frank Sinatra of the 21st century.” In April 2015, Robbie Williams performed for the first time in Russia, in St. Petersburg. Apparently, the Russian audience did not disappoint the singer, and Russia seemed so attractive to him that, having visited our country again in 2017, he declared that he was ready to represent Russia with a song at Eurovision.

Joe Dassin

Anyone who has ever heard the songs and musical compositions of Joe Dassin will never forget the low charming voice this elegant singer, his soulful manner of performance, when it seems that in his song he is addressing you specifically. Popular French singer The American-born man lived a colorful but short life, dying of a heart attack at just 42 years old. But in less than 20 years of his singing career, he published 20 studio albums, traveled all over the world and his concerts were always sold out. Joe Dassin's songs are still popular, they are performed by various famous singers, and they have been translated into many languages. In Russia, his hits such as “Where are you” and “If you weren’t there” are well known; they are performed in both French and Russian.

This Russian bard did not become a world celebrity, but this is not his fault; his talent surpassed many famous ones. foreign singers that time. He just lived at the wrong time and in the wrong country, the system and the laws in Russia under which he was engaged in creativity are to blame. The songs of which he was the author, either sung or told in his hoarse, passionate voice, about love, fidelity, fear, courage, heroism, about war, are still listened to and sung, and not only in Russia. The singer, popular in his homeland, was also known in other countries.

In this article you will learn about the most famous, popular and sought-after pop artists in our country. They are very different - young or emerging, beautiful and unique, talented or not. But the public loves them, no matter what, be it a new hit or long legs.

Pop centenarians

These are the “oldest” singers in Russia. Photos of divas regularly throughout for long years appear in the yellow press, and crowds of fans are still hunting for their autographs. This list includes: Alla Pugacheva, Sofia Rotaru, Larisa Dolina, Kadysheva, Lyubov Uspenskaya, Irina Allegrova and Valeria. Of course, this is not a complete list; only those pop artists who are currently able to attract full houses at their concerts are included here. Note: although Alla Pugacheva left the stage, she can return at any moment and gather a whole crowd of fans.

The most beautiful singers of Russia

This list includes those pop divas who don’t even have to sing. All you have to do is just go on stage and millions men's hearts they freeze at such unearthly (and barely covered) beauty. Well, if they are also talented, have good voice, then nothing can resist this crushing force. So, the most beautiful singers in Russia are Vera Brezhneva, Pletneva, Zhanna Friske, Nyusha, Tatyana Kotova, Tanya Tereshina (group “Yin-Yang”), Sati Kazanova, Svetlana Svetikova, Valeria, Yulia Kovalchuk, Anna Semenovich. It is these divas who not only sing well, but also invariably attract male glances. Many of these singers starred for men's magazines: Playboy, Penthouse and other similar publications. And this once again serves as proof of their beauty.

The most popular singers in Russia

You can be both beautiful and talented, but only the desire of the audience to see a particular singer at a concert or to get her to a corporate event or private party is a real objective indicator of the star’s demand. And demand always gives rise to supply, and the most sought-after artists receive the most high fees. However, I would like to note the fact that Russian singers, like their foreign colleagues, often inflate the amounts they receive for their performances. There are several reasons: firstly, the thought - “what if they give just that much”, secondly, self-promotion - “look how popular I am.” And, of course, the expectation of a purely psychological effect - for many people who “book” stars for themselves, the status of the performers is important, and not at all the quality of the songs. This is what many Russian singers take advantage of, asking hundreds of thousands of dollars for a half-hour performance accompanied by a soundtrack. Alla Pugacheva is considered the most expensive: she asks €250 thousand for 5 songs, and only on condition that she does not need to travel further than 500 km from Moscow. Next comes Elena Vaenga - she asks “only” €200 thousand for a forty-minute performance. Among the younger generation, one can note the singer Elka - she charges €100 thousand; Zemfira can be ordered for €150 thousand. But the entire “Brilliant” group, wholesale, will cost only €20 thousand.

As a result, we can conclude: Russian singers do not yet reach the level of fees of world celebrities. And none of our stars can yet compare with Rihanna, who earned $8 million in one evening, Beyoncé ($2 million for performing at a private party on a yacht) or Christina Aguilera ($1 million in one hour).

Whether you are an absurd fat man with small, swollen eyes or a skinny brunette with a cigarette in his mouth, it doesn’t matter at all if you have a unique voice. Singing is partly reminiscent of a passionate kiss, because the same organs are involved here - lips and tongue and appearance is no longer important - the voice can deceive given by nature appearance. The voice is a sound postcard that depicts a portrait of your soul, no matter how ugly or beautiful it may seem to you. One way or another, here is a list of fifteen female names, which includes the owners of unique voices of all times in the music business, according to the magazine Rolling Stone.

But it’s impossible to say for sure who Nina Simone was in to a greater extent: singer, composer or pianist.

Popular music

Rock music

The Beatles actually became the founders of half the subgenres of rock.

In essence, rock is the blues, but with a different semantic content. Rock is, first of all, protextual music. There are many subgenres in rock. For example, hard rock is a style with a heavy, hard sound; the rhythm section occupies a dominant position in this style; it is in hard rock that you can hear the most interesting, “free” vocals. Pop rock is soft, rhythmic music with light arrangements, designed for a wide audience. Folk rock is now a trend trying to combine rock and folk music. Psychedelic rock is unconventional, complex music with an abundance of effects, usually having a serious impact on listeners. Heavy metal is harsh, heavy, inharmonious music, it is very far from the usual standards.

Very often in the modern world there is a mixture of genres, when it is quite difficult to accurately determine which style a particular composition belongs to.

Tip 4: What are the most famous films with Adriano Celentano

Adriano Celentano is known to many fans of Italian cinema. This man has starred in several dozen films. Several of them have become real masterpieces of world cinema and are still of interest among film lovers from all over the world.

The comedy film “Bluff” provided the viewer with an acquaintance with one of the best cinematic duets: Quinn and Celentano. Two swindlers, having met while escaping from the train carrying them, joined forces. Having decided to deceive the owner and part-time head of the mafia, the beautiful Belle Duc, the heroes come up with a grandiose scam that resembles a game of poker (one of the terms is “bluff”). Against the backdrop of all this, a struggle for the right to be “the best” was visible. The red line is “trust,” which once again gives the viewer pause to think about human relationships.

In the film The Taming of the Shrew, Celentano appears to us as a rude man who does not respect women and is quite happy with his life as a lonely bachelor. The companion who appeared in his life tried to change not only his views on the world, but also him. Seeing that our hero (Ilia) is indifferent, she tries to “touch” his heart. The film is filled with many comedic situations, which gives the two characters the opportunity to bond. Both of them are from different "": he is a farmer, she socialite. And at the moment when the heroine is tired of fighting, the climax comes: the rapprochement of two loving hearts.

"The Grumpy" is one of Celentano's works, where main character lawyer Tito is a “victim” of a fifteen billion fraud. Out of concern for the “neighbor”, giving up the ticket to a waitress who was flying on the same flight into unpredictable situations. Plus everything with treasures found by Mary’s husband (the waitress).

Also known are the films “Ace” (Celentano plays a gambler who dies at the beginning of the film, but returns as a ghost to his ex-wife), “Madly in Love” (a wonderful comedy, the plot of which is the duet Celentano - Mutti in “The Taming of the Shrew”).

Famous are the paintings in which Adriano together with his wife Claudia Mori. For example, “Rugantino” and “Emigrant”.

A short excursion into the comedic “elite” films of Celentano. In the film about two swindlers, his desire for the game is visible. He took on any role, with any “shade”. In addition, he is interested in photography, chess, tennis, and plays billiards, and all this contributes to a better perception of his personal roles.
