Alla Pugacheva, like any woman, has her own secrets of beauty and youth. The secret to her thick and luxurious hair is... her wig. Yes, yes, the singer wears a wig, her hair has not been so beautiful for a long time (this information is confirmed by the fact that at one of her concerts Pugacheva simply tore off her wig right on stage). Alla maintains her figure with a salt-free diet and a complete refusal of bread.

Natalya also resorted to the procedure of hirudotherapy (healing with leeches).

Nyusha

The very young singer Nyusha (Anna Shurochkina) had never studied vocals professionally and never graduated from music schools. She began performing at the age of 11, and at 17 she came up with a pseudonym, which is still with her today. Now the girl’s songs occupy leading positions in the Russian charts, and she herself has more than once become a laureate of prestigious music awards.

Nyusha monitors her appearance and health as much as possible. She does not smoke, drinks alcohol in moderation and only on holidays. The singer considers healthy sleep and good rest to be the key to attractiveness and health, so she tries to never go behind schedule. The girl drinks a lot of clean water and uses natural masks and moisturizers for her skin. The singer’s good figure is the result of training with a personal trainer and a set of daily exercises.

The singer disdains plastic surgery, but does not condemn those who resort to it. The star loves naturalness more and uses only high-quality cosmetics.

YULIA NACHALOVA

The ex-wife of Russian football player Evgeniy Aldonina has shown singing abilities since childhood, which were noticed by her father (by the way, a musician and composer). Her father began singing vocals with Yulia at the age of 2, and at the age of five the girl began singing on the professional stage. After winning the TV competition “Morning Star”, the singer was noticed by prestigious music and social programs, who began inviting her to the central channels.

Yulia adheres to the correct daily routine and plays sports. She is not a supporter of fasting days, diets and hunger strikes, since after such experiments she feels bad. On her birthday and New Year, the singer does not limit herself to food at all and can eat whatever she wants. In one of the interviews, Yulia admitted that she does not trust folk recipes, but she simply adores high-quality cosmetics and various mixtures for home use. She always tries to use thermal water and is not afraid to undergo therapeutic and rejuvenating acupuncture procedures. Nachalova does not like to sunbathe either in the sun or in a solarium, as her skin is prone to burns.

ALEXANDRA SAVELIEVA

The 30-year-old lead singer of the Factory group was involved in figure skating as a child and attended a music school where she studied flute and piano.

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 have regularly appeared in the yellow press for many years, 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. It’s enough just to go on stage, and millions of men’s hearts will skip a beat from such unearthly (and barely covered) beauty. Well, if they are also talented and have a 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).

When we turn on the TV, we watch all sorts of shows, performances by our favorite artists, without even knowing their nationality. All the heroes of our article are Jews, and this is not a bad thing at all, just looking at these artists it is very difficult to guess that they were born into a Jewish family or at least one of the parents was Jewish. We present to your attention a list of famous artists whom you would never think were Jewish.

Ukupnik Arkady Semenovich

Born on February 18, 1953, Kamenets-Podolsky, Khmelnitsky region. Composer, pop singer, producer of the group "KAR-MAN", director of the studio "Galla" and "Alla." I was born in Ukraine. There, from the age of 5, I learned what it was to be a Jew, to be a "stranger among one's own" ". Having already arrived in Moscow as an adult, I immediately noted that there is no such harsh attitude towards Jews as in Ukraine. Since then, I have achieved a lot in life. And a lot has changed in the country. And yet, I am very concerned about that there is a MEOC, and that here I am always “one among my own.”
