Did the singer Jamala change her gender? From pilaf to Eurovision: how Jamala’s secret relationship with her fiancé from Crimea developed

The entire Internet was filled with rumors about her gender reassignment surgery in 2006; 10 years later she became the winner of Eurovision. Despite the ban on songs about politics in this competition, Jamala confidently sang about the Crimean Tatars and no one interfered with this. By the way, there is a masculine Tatar name Jamal, which means beautiful.

They are trying to assure us that the “call of the ancestors” suddenly and unexpectedly manifested itself in Jamal, just as, apparently, 10 years ago the desire to turn from a boy into a woman manifested itself. Although there is no reliable data about this. What other transformations await us associated with this name? Are the Europeans, following the incomprehensible story about the unknown Crimean suffering, exposing their beloved Eurovision contest to the fact that tomorrow sixteen performers with incomprehensible biographies and requirements will come and Eurovision, from an entertaining and light show for Europe, will turn into a platform for everyone? political rabble, like the Ukrainian pseudo-singer without a voice and real roots, which she so tragically announced to the whole world?

And in general, aren’t there too many lies and far-fetched plots in this strange song of Jamala - Susanna - Albuhair and in the story itself?

New, very interesting facts are beginning to be revealed about the Eurovision-winning singer.

A few months before Eurovision, several scandals broke out in Stockholm. The most striking of them was associated with a Crimean Tatar performer representing Ukraine under the pseudonym Jamala, who performed a song called “1944.” The composition was dedicated to the eviction of the Crimean Tatars to Central Asia during the Great Patriotic War. Many, not without reason, saw political overtones in the song. However, the representative of Ukraine not only made it to the finals of the competition, but also won, which caused a storm of delight in Ukraine. However, gradually about personality Ukrainian singer New details are beginning to emerge that could overnight bring her down from the pedestal of “all-Ukrainian darling.”

As it turned out, Jamala's family has Russian passports, and also enjoys certain benefits in Crimea. It is known that her father owns a small plot of land in the resort village of Malorechenskoye near Alushta and two years ago almost quarreled with his daughter, who was trying to persuade her parents to leave the peninsula forever. “They are, of course, in Crimea. All my attempts and conversations came to nothing... It is very painful and difficult. I understand that they cannot go. That pomegranate tree that grows in our yard, the persimmon, the fig... This house, it’s impossible to abandon everything like that. They are not even afraid, say, to die, no matter how scary it may sound, but they refuse to leave this house,” she said in an interview with journalists not so long ago.

Moreover, it turns out that the relatives and friends of the “patriot” Jamala were active supporters of the reunification of Crimea and Russia, also campaigning for the Crimean Tatars to obtain Russian citizenship. At the same time, the singer’s relatives took advantage of the law adopted in the Russian Federation on the rehabilitation of the Crimean Tatars and currently, as beneficiaries, enjoy a 50% discount on housing and communal services. The singer herself, who, as it turned out, sang in New Year's corporate parties in Sochi at the end of 2014.

It is worth noting that Jamala’s real name is Susanna Jamaladdinova. Not much is known about her childhood. IN different sources it is stated that she was born in the Kyrgyz city of Osh in 1983. Her father was a Crimean Tatar, and her mother was an Armenian from Nagorno-Karabakh, although her first and last name are not Armenian - Galina Tumasova. Soon after the start of perestroika Crimean Tatars returned to the peninsula, where their daughter began to study music, performing Crimean Tatar songs and folk music Central Asia. She soon became interested in jazz, trying to combine it with oriental music. After which she took the pseudonym “Jamala”, under which she became known to modern audiences.

And everything would be fine, but some bloggers began to notice features unusual for a woman in the singer’s appearance, and some even compared Jamala to the Austrian transsexual Conchita Wurst, the winner of Eurovision in 2014. The first to notice the similarity between Jamala and the famous trance was a popular Russian blogger, who published a picture with a comparison in social network Facebook. After that, he was attacked in the comments great amount“zhovto-blakit” patriots, “ national identity”who were offended by this harmless, but at the same time very accurate comparison.

Meanwhile, the topic of oddities in appearance Ukrainian performer noted political scientist and economist Mikhail Delyagin, who published a photo of Jamala on his VK blog, where her Adam’s apple, which only appears on men, is visible. In addition, Delyagin published information according to which Jamala is not who she claims to be. According to these data, in the past Jamala was a man named Abulkhair, who underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2006, taking the name Susanna. However, the sources of origin of this information were not named, nor were the facts given that could confirm this.

However, the message caused a considerable response among social network users, many of whom were not even surprised that Jamala could have been a man in the past. “After the bearded girl, why not?” said a user with the nickname Ekaterina Galina in a comment to the post. Artur Fetisov agrees with her: “Did you hear the voice? Just matches. And at Eurovision there will be the same thing. (Because it’s not possible to listen anywhere else).” In general, one gets the impression that after seeing this (or this?) singer’s Adam’s apple, people would not be at all surprised that a transsexual won the next Eurovision. Indeed, after a bearded woman, this is not amazing. Moreover, if Jamala really turns out to be not quite Jamala, then this will become best symbol modern Ukraine, rushing headlong towards “European values”.

It is worth noting that Jamala’s victory turned out to be very doubtful, since ordinary Europeans gave the most votes in the “popular vote” for Russian performer Sergei Lazarev. However, according to the new rules, people's opinions are not enough; expert review, which is issued by a special jury. And it just turned out to be not on the side of the Russian performer. Mikhail Delyagin, already mentioned above, noted that what happened is the best demonstration of the illusory nature of European democracy, which is always sacrificed for the sake of political conjuncture.

Eurovision showed a model of modern European democracy: people support Russia, but their votes mean almost nothing. The voting is organized in such a way that the jury supposedly had nothing to do with it - it gave first place to a Korean woman from Australia (by the way, there was evidence that some jury members, for example, from the Baltic countries, were asked to vote for Australia - approx. KR) . No fair competition with the West is possible in principle: any agreement to its rules will mean defeat and mockery. Although it’s nice that the Eurovision organizers equated Russophobia and, in particular, the Russophobia of the renegades of the Crimean Tatar people with bearded women. This is a convincing demonstration of the perversity and inferiority of both Nazism and Russophobia,” he said.

At the same time, Jamal herself (himself?) rejects accusations of being politicized. However, a noteworthy case was when, on the eve of the final of the song competition, the famous Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus, the hosts of the scandalous program “The Call” on NTV, played a prank on the singer, introducing themselves as the Minister of Culture of Ukraine Yevgeny Onischuk. In a conversation with pranksters, the performer admitted that there is certainly a political subtext in the song “1944”. At the same time, the presenters clarified why the song was not called “2014,” to which Jamala replied that then everything would be clear to everyone. “Then it would definitely not have made it to Eurovision, it would have been considered as a political action. This is not an arena for political slogans. Of course, he is there, of course. But you and I know this in secret. When I say it loud, they'll take the song down. You have to be very wise and careful,” the singer replied.

After winning Eurovision 2016, Ukrainian singer Jamala came under fire from various publications and users of the Internet social network. Her unexpected triumph in the music competition caused a lot of rumors and speculation. The most unexpected hypotheses are considered: both the political diaspora and the rich sugar daddy. Along with the most unimaginable arguments, people began to wonder: “Isn’t this a man?” What prompted such thoughts?

Biography of the singer

Susana Jamaladinova - this is the singer's real name - was born in Kyrgyzstan in the early 80s. Her parents are also involved in music: her mother is a pianist, and her father is an orchestra conductor. When the girl was still little, they came to Crimea.

Susana studied in Alushta in two schools at once: educational and music. Already at the age of 9, she recorded children's songs on a cassette recorder. own performance. After graduating from school, Jamala studies at music school in Simferopol, where she became an exemplary student. And she continued her education in Kyiv in music academy. While still studying, I took part in festivals and music competitions.

The singer’s singing biography began with the competition “ New wave"in 2006, where she, together with a singer from Indonesia, became the first. After that, she was invited to the musical “Pa” - there she demonstrated her diverse talent. Then Jamala acted as opera singer.

In 2011 she took part in qualifying round to Eurovision, but did not win. IN next year she competes in a show on local television“Stars at the Opera”, where he and Vlad Pavlyuk became winners. Susana does not want to be a singer of one genre and masters soul, blues, jazz, tours around Ukraine, and also often visits concert venues other countries, including Russia.

Personal life

The singer does not like to talk about herself - all that is known is that she is not married. Whether she has a friend or not is unknown. But, according to Susana, she is not in love and has never experienced this wonderful feeling. At one time she had a boyfriend, parting with whom brought great suffering to the singer. Subsequent romances did not lead to anything serious, so the separations were without grief. She believes that the main quality in a loved one should be sincerity. And also the chosen one must be kind and attentive. Jamala wants to have a family, but she is afraid that no young man will withstand her busy schedule.

Man or woman

The Eurovision triumph gave rise to a lot of rumors about the singer, including speculation that she was a man and had undergone sex reassignment surgery. This rumor is supported by a photograph published on a social network, where the singer’s Adam’s apple is clearly visible - this is purely male distinguishing feature. But, if we take into account the origin of the singer - her mother is Armenian, and her father is a Crimean Tatar, then the presence of masculine features in appearance is not considered abnormal for women of these nationalities. Moreover, they are noticeable if the singer is photographed in profile; from other angles she looks attractive woman.

Judging by childhood photographs, Susana was a normal and pretty girl, so there can be no talk of gender reassignment. Many women have something of a man in them, but this does not mean that she is not a woman. Singer Jamala is 100% a woman with a unique appearance.

After the competition in Baku, Jamala continues concert activities and participation in other musical projects. She received a statuette and the honorary title “Inspiration of the Year” in Ukraine. The president of the country himself awarded her the title People's Artist Ukraine. She basks in the rays of fame and love from fans, despite the dirty attacks of ill-wishers.
