"Via Gra" breaks up due to conflict. There is no more attraction: VIA Gra has broken up Viagra is breaking up

One of the most popular groups in Russian show business, VIA Gra, broke up due to a conflict between its members.

Irreconcilable contradictions within the women's group led to the fact that the group's producer, Konstantin Meladze, had to seriously think about completely changing the composition of the popular trio.

The conflict at VIA Gre has been brewing for a long time. As Life Showbiz learned, the cup of patience was overflowing during the wedding celebration of one of the group members, Santa Dimopoulos, which took place in the middle of last month in Rome. The rest of the participants, Eva Bushmina and Albina Dzhanabaeva, came to congratulate their friend and colleague on stage. It was planned that the three girls would perform as a group, and two guests had already been paid for the rider.

However, it turned out that the soloists misunderstood each other: Santa was not going to exchange her chic wedding dress from a famous designer for an ordinary stage outfit. And this caused outrage among the rest of the group. Eva and Albina found it humiliating to perform in different dresses, thinking that in this case, against the backdrop of Santa, they would look like ordinary backup dancers.

Life Showbiz learned from sources around Santa that she had already met with Konstantin Meladze to discuss details regarding her departure from the group. The producer and singer want to present the story beautifully and remove Santa from the band members without scandal or unnecessary noise.

The fact that the girl left the group is confirmed by the difficult situation with concerts. The concert director of VIA Gra, Artur Kovalkov, regarding invitations to performances, said that at the moment there are only two soloists in the group - Bushmina and Dzhanabaeva.

There are also rumors in the capital's circle that another member of the trio, Albina Dzhanabaeva, who has long dreamed of a solo career, will soon leave the team.

Konstantin Meladze, in turn, began searching for new soloists. Recently, the famous producer visited the shooting of Christina Mezhinskaya’s video directed by Alan Badoev. This visit of his to the set is considered Christina’s official audition for the place of Santa Dimopoulos.

It is also known that if one of its most permanent soloists, Albina Dzhanabaeva, leaves the group, then Konstantin Shotaevich is already planning to invite a representative from Ukraine at the New Wave 2012 competition, Maria Yaremchuk, in her place.

No one imagined what the new composition of “VIAGRA” would be like when Konstantin Meladze’s show began to select new participants for the team. There were many worthy contestants; the Russian land is rich in beautiful and talented girls. And yet, three of them turned out to be the strongest - the amazing beauty of their voices, femininity and magnetic charm did their job. Recently, the new composition of VIAGRA was introduced to the people. It included three beautiful girls - Anastasia Kozhevnikova, Misha Romanova and Erica Herceg.

"VIA Gra": was, is and will be

The famous producer and composer Konstantin Meladze has been the mentor of the VIA Gra group throughout the entire period of its existence, more than 13 years. During this time, the team changed several times. The changes that took place in the group concerned not only the fate of its members, but also reflected technological, stylistic and sociological trends in the field of show business. After all, “VIA Gra” has always been the No. 1 female group on the stage. And it has become a “school of life” for many popular stars of our time. Graduates of this school are Vera Brezhneva, Svetlana Loboda, Albina Dzhanabaeva, Nadezhda Meikher-Granovskaya, Anna Sedokova and other famous singers, TV presenters and actresses.

History of the show “I want to go to VIA Gro”

This time, producer Konstantin Meladze instructed the people to choose a new composition for VIAGRA. Millions of television viewers decided the fate of the group and created its history.

Fifteen thousand participants from four CIS countries (Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Ukraine) fought for several months for the right to become one of the soloists of the popular group. Two contrasting trios were selected for the finals. The charming favorite of one of the jury members Vernik Igor - Maria Goncharuk, red-haired Yulia Lauta and sizzling brunette Diana Ivanitskaya competed with amazing and extremely talented girls from Ukraine - Anastasia Kozhevnikova, Misha Romanova and Erica Herceg. Two completely different teams had only one step left to take to victory. But there was also something that united them - the irrepressible energy of the participants, the undoubted talent of each of the girls, their amazing sexuality and femininity.

The winners have been determined!

Viewers decided the fate of the participants by SMS voting. It was difficult to guess who they would give preference to. Upon completion of voting and counting of votes, Igor Vernik opened the envelope with the names of the winners of the show. They were beautiful Ukrainians - Anastasia Kozhevnikova, Misha Romanova and Erica Herceg. According to the group’s producer, Konstantin Meladze, the girls are very promising, creative, and versatile, so they will certainly be able to absorb the best traditions of VIA Gra and increase the success of the group with a thirteen-year history of existence. He also noted that the updated group “VIAGRA” will not be exactly the same as the audience is accustomed to. The new composition will bring its own bright colors to it. In addition, it was decided to slightly change the image of the team, taking into account the characteristics of its new members.

Life before and after

The composition of the new group “VIAGRA” has been determined, and now fans of the legendary musical group are increasingly interested in the biographies of its new members. Let's find out what the girls' lives were like before they came to Konstantin Meladze's show.

Brief biography of Anastasia Kozhevnikova

Nastya was born in the city of Yuzhnoukrainsk in Ukraine. Already at the age of six she took up vocals and began singing in the children's choir “Droplets”. At the age of eight, Nastya went to music school to study piano. In parallel with her studies in secondary and music schools, the girl managed to practice choreography and study acting at the pop song theater called “Galatea”.

Nastya’s childhood dream of becoming an artist on the big stage led her through life. She never missed a single opportunity or her talent. The girl took part in various music competitions, including “First Swallows”, “Running on the Waves”, “Young Galicia” and others. But she did not achieve much success at that time. The only thing the jury paid attention to was the irrepressible energy of the young girl.

When Anastasia turned sixteen, she took part in her first casting for the show “Superzirka”. But, unfortunately, the girl was again deprived of attention. Nastya did not give up and went to the casting of the show “X-Factor”, where she also did not make it past the first round. Desperate and abandoning her dream of a big stage, Anastasia became a student at the Kyiv National University of Technology and Design. When she learned about the start of the casting for the show “I want to join VIA Gro,” she decided to try her luck one last time. And this time luck smiled at her - she became part of the new VIAGRA! The photos you see in the article demonstrate the girl’s genuine joy! By the age of twenty, she managed to realize her first big dream, and this is a real victory!

Brief biography of Erica Herceg

Erica was born in a village called Malaya Dobran, which is located near the border of Ukraine with Hungary, near Uzhgorod.

The girl has mixed blood: her father is Hungarian, her mother is the daughter of a Ukrainian and a Hungarian. Erica's parents got married when they were very young - dad was 22, mom was 18. When the girl turned five, the family decided to have a second child. The birth was very difficult, which adversely affected the health of Erica's mother. Concerns about the well-being of the family and raising young children fell entirely on the shoulders of Nikolai, the father of the family. Erica went to a Hungarian school, where she studied Ukrainian only two hours a week. Every day, to do this, she went 12 kilometers from home and crossed the border. When the rules for crossing country borders became stricter, the girl had to change schools.

In high school, Erica studied at the lyceum at the local church and sang in the church choir.

After receiving a certificate of secondary education, the girl went to the city of Beregovo in order to become a student at the Transcarpathian Hungarian Institute named after Ferenc Rakoczi II. While studying, Erica worked as a waitress in a local cafe.

2008 was a year of change for the girl. She lost as much as 30 kilograms in order to try her hand at modeling. She starred in advertisements for jewelry and lingerie.

Work in a modeling agency in 2011 brought the girl to Kyiv. There, in 2012, she received her first serious contract with a French lingerie company. In the same year, she was invited to star in one of the autumn issues of Playboy magazine. And in 2013 she was already included in the new composition of VIAGRA. At the age of 25, Erica achieves real success.

Brief biography of Misha Romanova

The third soloist of the renewed group was born in the Ukrainian city of Kherson. At birth, the parents gave their daughter the name Natalya. Her real name is Mogilenets. Misha Romanova is a stage name that the girl came up with in memory of the two men she once loved. The girl studied at a comprehensive school and often suffered from bullying by her peers. It's hard to imagine, but as a child she stuttered badly. It started after Misha became an unwitting witness to her parents' quarrel when she was five years old. The girl remembers how hard it was for her, because she couldn’t even buy chewing gum in the store, since the sellers didn’t understand her.

On the advice of doctors, the parents sent the girl to vocal lessons. Misha's surprise and delight knew no bounds when she realized that she did not stutter when she sang. Since then, even in class, when she was called upon to answer, she did not tell the material she had learned, but “sang it.”

In 2001, the girl became a member of the vocal studio of the Neftyanik Palace of Culture, and soon took the place of a soloist, and later an assistant studio director.

The dream of becoming an artist gave her the strength to take part in all possible music competitions. She took prizes in “Little Stars”, “Carousel of Melodies”, “World of Talents”. Misha Romanova was educated at the Kiev Variety and Circus School, where she entered in 2007. At the age of 23, her dream came true - she became a real artist, the lead singer of the legendary group “VIAGRA”.

New line-up - new song - new concert!

The group has already recorded several new songs, shot a video, and worked on tour. The girls’ first joint work is the composition “Truce,” for which a video has already been shot by a talented director. And on November 4, 2013, the renewed “VIAGRA” gave its first concert at the State University in Moscow. The new lineup - Erica, Nastya and Misha - captivated the audience, the girls gained thousands of fans, showing their dedicated work on stage. And this was only their first concert!

Promising

Listeners will see many more amazing works by the VIAGRA group. The new composition of the team, which was formed by the people themselves, will certainly be able to justify even the wildest expectations!

To the disappointment of most Russian men, the trio of sexy girls from the group “VIA Gra” will no longer delight them from the “blue” screens. The team ceases to exist - this is the decision of producer Konstantin Meladze, which blogger theurgie was the first to share with us.

Constant changes in the lineup (and it changed 16 times!) have already jeopardized the future life of the group many times, but the announcement of the departure of “old-timer” VIA Gra Albina Dzhanabaeva was the last straw. Konstantin Meladze stated:

Due to the fact that Albina is now leaving, due to the fact that she will be pursuing a solo career, I have the feeling that I have neither the strength nor the interest to change red-haired for red-haired, white for white, and look for salaries again, no desire. On January 1, 2013, the group disbands and that’s it.

The Ukrainian pop group "VIA Gra", one of the most popular on the national stage, existed for almost 13 years (it has five studio albums and many awards). The soloists of the group changed many times, but the trio is considered to be the “golden line-up” - Nadezhda Meikher (Granovskaya), and.

The last line-up included Eva Bushmina and Albina Dzhanabaeva (left the group in October). Now, according to Meladze, all the girls will go on a free swim.

“The group was formed 12 years ago, and each group has its own algorithm for success and algorithm of work. For us, everything was based on the scheme of three girls - blonde, brunette and brown-haired. There was repeated replacement of one dark-haired one with another, white one with white one, and so on - this "there was a certain theater in which the producer played the main role, and the troupe was recruited for certain performances. This scheme has outlived its usefulness, so I decided to disband the group and end this scheme once and for all," Meladze said at a press conference at RIA Novosti on Tuesday , November 27.

The producer emphasized that there is not a single chance that he will change his mind.

“I clearly feel that I won’t be able to write anything more meaningful for this format of the group, and this is the main reason for the collapse of the group. I’ve exhausted myself in this format and won’t be able to give anything away,” he emphasized.

According to Meladze, problems appeared a long time ago, and over the past year or two he has written very few songs for VIA Gra.

“All I have done in my 25-year creative life is try to create comfortable conditions for myself to write decent songs. And I measure my career not by the number of projects, but by the number of good songs. Considering that I will be 50 years old next year, and I already have a lot of experience, every year good fresh music is becoming more and more difficult to write. This was the reason for turning the page and finishing the story with VIA Groi," he shared.

Meladze noted that the reason is not due to difficult times for the group, as many people think, and the team could work according to this scheme for many more years, but he considers it boring and wrong.

The issue of closing the project has been discussed with the current participants of VIA Gra - and - for several months.

“All this happened smoothly and gradually, I really value my relationships with these people, and after the project we will communicate with them. I will study with Albina Dzhanabaeva, and Eva Bushmina will go on a solo voyage and, I am sure, will achieve success herself. I am with the musicians talked. We will try to smooth out the dissolution as much as possible for the participants,” the producer said.

Dzhanabaeva’s desire to create a solo project also affected the decision to close VIA Gro. As Meladze said, soon, under his careful supervision, a new song by the artist and a video for it will be launched, and in the future, “life will tell” whether he will remain its producer or will work with her in a different format.

“Now is a time of total uncertainty about the future in connection with the Mayan calendar and other rubbish, so I personally live for today and don’t look into the future for a long time. I have a lot of work and a lot of projects, both in development and ongoing. artists, I do television shows, I write music for films from time to time - for example, now for Todorovsky's film. I have a 12-hour working day, so I am quite busy. In addition, next year I will have anniversary evenings - from them there's no escape. There's plenty of work," he concluded.

Let us note that they went for a long time, but they were still at the beginning of October. Among the reasons for the collapse of the group were the departure of one of the producers of the group - Dmitry Kostyuk, the marriage of soloists from the last line-up and Santa Dimopoulos, who left the group with a scandal.
