Not far away, an authoritative and foreign, namely British, magazine New Musical Express conducted a survey in which twenty outstanding musical performers in the history of music. Over 10 million people took part in the survey, which indicates a relatively large audience reach. However, like everything like this, the results of this action are very, very controversial. But that’s why they are statistics, so that they have nothing to do with life. For example, for some reason my interests constantly do not coincide, so to speak, with the people's jury in the Miss Bikini competition and similar ones.

The leader in the poll is the now deceased Michael Jackson, with the result in 9.2 points from 10 possibly recognized as the best performer in the same history of music. Without wishing to slander this wonderful “singer,” however, for me his victory is more likely a big misunderstanding than a pattern. A performer is first and foremost a vocalist, and what kind of vocalist is Jackson? If you compare him with Kirkorov, then he is incomparable, but when such names appear next to each other in the list as competitors, then the singer’s first place looks simply ridiculous. Yes, he is a great showman, a super-duper dancer, the best performer of pop ideas among the masses, but by no means the best performer of songs. This is what it means to leave on time. Where is the world heading?
In general, all polls, ratings and other unknown measures of pathos are called differently, but they carry one question as old as the world - who (what) is more popular. And what does the best performers have to do with it? best guitarists, best songs And so on? All these things are very subjective.

The band's frontman took second place in the top Queen - Freddie Mercury, with their 8.39 points. He has not yet matured to the glory Michael's, needless to say. To make sure of this, you can listen to their song together for comparison. State Of Shock, recently brought to public attention from the dark corners of recording studios, where Freddie completely fades against the background of the wonderful moans and squeals of his colleague.

Lennon ranked fifth Plant, McCartney, Cobain and even lower.

Almost half of the chosen ones, namely nine people, are no longer present in the world, but comparatively young talent Matthew Bellamy from popular to Lately groups Muse managed to gain a foothold even in the middle of the list. The rating also included two representatives of the fair sex - Aretha Franklin And Tina Turner. Discrimination, and that's all!

So, the list itself best performers of all times and peoples from New Musical Express. If you also hope to see the rest of the greatest vocalists and performers in it, the same Dio, Klaus Meine, Joplin, Bonnie Tyler or similar, screw you. One good thing is that the ubiquitous Lady Kwa-Kwa and Britney, who is Spears, for some reason did not penetrate here, and old Madonna is not visible.

1 place. Vera Brezhneva

The 32-year-old singer and actress is a master at... counting. She grew up in a family where every penny was saved, and with early years I went to earn money - I sold tomato paste and pasta at the market. “When guys I knew passed by, of course, it was awkward,” Vera recalled. “But I tried not to pay attention to the sidelong glances and grins. I knew that I needed to help mom and dad.” It was then that she learned to count quickly and clearly for the rest of her life, and after school she went to study to become an accountant. I didn’t graduate from university, but knowledge of accounting still helps. Vera associates a lot with numbers, remembers almost all the dates of significant events in her life, phone numbers, car numbers, etc. The singer helps the sisters keep financial records in their clothing store The Box in Kyiv. And she herself controls the budget of her own charitable foundation, “Ray of Faith.”

After the Olympics, many fans filled 16-year-old Yulia Lipnitskaya with poetry. “Entire collections were dedicated to her, and she, of course, was very touched,” the champion’s mother Daniela shared with StarHit over the phone. – We read everything with gratitude. Previously, Yulia was not interested in poetry, but now she has become involved. For example, I discovered the “rebellious” poems of Daria Sklyarova...”

Everyday training leaves the athlete almost no free time. She has no time to hang out with her friends or ride horses, and Yulia loves horse riding. But she still manages to read. As the mother says, her daughter recently discovered Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” - she liked it!

3rd place. Olga Buzova

Somehow, out of curiosity, Olga “tried on” new images - Marilyn Monroe, Christina Aguilera. The experience was successful, but she admitted on social networks: “I like being myself more.” With every action, the 28-year-old TV presenter breaks stereotypes about blondes. It is no coincidence that she topped the rating of show business stars with the highest IQ on one of the Internet portals. She has no problems with ideas on how to make money: she came up with the clothing brand C&C by Olga Buzova and opened a jewelry store. From a participant in “House-2”, as she dreamed, she grew into a presenter. And she became the editor-in-chief of the magazine.

Today Ksenia is preparing to publish another book about how to become beautiful. “I decided to talk about ways to quickly get yourself in order,” Ksenia shares with StarHit. “There is also a set of sports exercises that I developed myself.” Since the TV presenter tested each recommendation on herself, it’s worth a try.

In the spring of 2012, the star put up a portrait of Vladimir Vysotsky for auction; it was bought for $16 thousand. Alsou donated all the proceeds to help hospitals and boarding schools.

6th place. Ani Lorak

When her husband opens another restaurant in Kyiv, 35-year-old Ani Lorak often participates in interior design and menu selection. "For the restaurant business creativity needed no less than for the stage. There are no trifles,” the singer is sure. Neither tours nor rehearsals prevent the star from discussing ideas with her husband. Not long ago, Murat opened his fourth restaurant in the city center - Famous karaoke. From the very first day, many stars – good friends of Anya – loved to relax there. And when the idea came to her to decorate one wall with chic black and white portraits famous guests of the restaurant, no one objected; on the contrary, they posed with pleasure.

Several options have already been successful, it’s time to open a perfume store. This is what Tatyana is all about: no matter what she does, she will not back down until
will not become a champion, like in figure skating.

The singer’s director began to persuade the inspectors: “Please let me go, we’re taking Kristina Orbakaite.” They responded: “Come on, lie, we just saw her on TV!” And then Christina appeared from the depths of the salon: “Hello, what happened?” The law enforcement officers froze in admiration.

Recently, on the advice of my mother Olga Dmitrievna and coach Elena Buyanova, I watched the films “Champions” and “Legend No. 17”. “It seems to me that coaches should feel students exactly the same way as Anatoly Tarasov - Valeria Kharlamova,” Adelina admired after “Legend...”. – And like Elena Germanovna – me.

Driving around Moscow in snow-white Range Rover Evoque, Polina, a driver with 10 years of experience, nostalgically remembers the first car she drove at 18, a tiny Volkswagen Lupo: “I always liked the way I looked in it.” Five years later, she gave herself a Nissan Qashqai for her 23rd birthday – and happily showed off the spacious trunk, which contained a gym bag, dry cleaning, spare shoes, her son’s child seat, a soft airplane horseshoe pillow, a bath towel, and a volume of Omar’s poems.

Modern show business surprises us every year with new faces. New popular Russian singers appear on the starry Olympus more and more often, delighting fans with an original and sometimes rather banal repertoire.

The most popular singers of Russia shine at the biggest concert venues, decorate glossy magazines, perform at important events and excite fans from TV screens.

Often, popular Russian singers try themselves in a different role, acting in films, or trying themselves as leading grandiose television projects, but at the same time they manage to successfully perform and tour not only in Russia, but also abroad.

Popular singers of Russia, who have long taken their place in the bowels of show business, and already have their own audience of listeners and fans, cannot always boast only impeccable vocal abilities, they have a special charm, charisma, and, to be honest, gorgeous external characteristics that are a defining feature of their development in show business.

Young popular singers of Russia confidently compete with Russian celebrities the older generation, offering the public new songs, new pitch, new creative experiments.

Many popular singers of Russia, despite their star status, very simple and open people, who do not have star fever at all.

But there are popular ones Russian singers, the pathos of which is off the charts. They are stellar in their behavior, in their demands, in their lifestyle.

Such popular singers of Russia are not just artists, they behave and present themselves like true stars, which is why they often stand out among the crowd famous personalities in the world of show business.

Also in our photo top are popular Russian singers from young talents who have been on stage for only a few years, but are already collecting thousands concert halls, delighting his fans with good music.

Who do you think should get the Most status? popular singer Russia. Is he on our list of The most popular Russian singers? If not, tell me who he is - the most famous singer Russia...

Who are they... The most popular singers in Russia. Our photo rating of famous showbiz men

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 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 far from full list, this includes only those pop artists who are currently able to attract full houses at their concerts. Note: although Alla Pugacheva left the stage, she can return at any moment and gather a whole crowd of fans.

The most beautiful singers 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 creates supply, and the most sought-after artists receive the highest 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).
