Speech by Victoria the old woman for a minute. The most mysterious blogger in Russia

Victoria Starikova, who suffered from Renata Litvinova and Vladimir Pozner on the “Minute of Fame” show, continues to make music. Parents support their talented daughter in everything. TV channel “360” spoke with the girl’s mother, Anna Starikova, and found out how the life of the young singer is shaping up.

Eight-year-old Victoria Starikova from Nizhny Tagil came to the capital in the winter of 2017 to perform in the “Minute of Fame” television competition. A schoolgirl who has been singing since a very young age brought Zemfira’s song “Live in Your Head” to the talent show.

The jury included Sergei Yursky, Vladimir Pozner, Sergei Svetlakov and Renata Litvinova. The latter, who is in a close relationship with singer Zemfira,. According to the actress, the song is “too mature” for Victoria and the girl does not understand what she is singing about. Vladimir Pozner supported Litvinova, literally accusing the child’s parents of being...

Despite the attacks from the jury representatives, the girl still made it to the next round. There she and her mother sang the song “Motherland” by Sergei Trofimov, however, there are famous artists here too. According to the mother of the young singer Anna Starikova, Victoria was very worried about what happened.

“I was worried, but I was worried not for myself, but for us. It was not her who was attacked, but the “vain parents.” Vika, naturally, did not understand why they scolded us, parents,” said Anna Starikova.

Russia was literally divided into two camps - most of the people who saw the broadcast stood up for the child and turned their anger on Litvinova and Pozner, who brought the girl to tears.

“It caused such a resonance. The country was literally divided into two camps. It was very difficult at the very beginning. A lot of strangers on social networks they considered it their duty to scold me or protect me,” says Vicky’s mother.

After participating in the program, Victoria was awarded the “Person of the Year” award in Nizhny Tagil in the category “Children who glorified the city.” Currently, the 9-year-old singer is studying in regular and music schools, continues to participate in various competitions and, of course, receives awards.

“In the summer I took third place in international festival“Generation NEXT 2017”, which took place at the Rosa Khutor resort. It was unexpected, since there were more than 100 participants in her age category!” says my mother.

According to Victoria’s mother, while the child is studying, reading books and playing music. Victoria has not yet decided which area she wants to connect her future with. But her parents are ready to support any of her choices.

“If she wants to connect her life with music or not with music, we will always help her in everything! That’s why we are parents, to love our children and help them,” added Anna Starikova.

Maxim Fadeev on his Instagram page expressed his opinion about the performance of 8-year-old Vika Starikova on the “Minute of Fame” program and his attitude towards how some members of the jury treated her.

“I can’t ignore what happened on air, because I am a father, teacher and musician. Unlike everyone else gathered there on the jury. Therefore, I can evaluate this from a professional and pedagogical point of view... When I watched what the jury members told her, I cried with her,”- writes Maxim.

To understand the musician’s indignation, pain and tears, let us recall what happened on February 25 at the program.

Victoria Starikova, a contestant from Nizhny Tagil took the stage and performed Zemfira’s song “Live in Your Head.”

After this, the presenter of the program Mikhail Boyarsky turned to the jury so that they could express their opinion about the girl’s performance, and then the incredible happened. Well-known aunts and uncles, and some already grandfathers and great-grandfathers - Renata Litvinova, Vladimir Pozner and Sergei Yursky began to express their opinions with some incomprehensible bitterness. Their words simply sounded like slaps in the face.

Vladimir Pozner, looking at the little girl with a dissatisfied look, said: “When child prodigies go on stage, it’s already clear that they are great.” In his opinion, one should not “produce a mediocre child just to please the parent’s vanity.” It is interesting by what criteria Mr. Posner assessed her talent - it is unknown, but he grimaced very sincerely.

“I have always deeply respected Mr. Posner and considered him the smartest subtle person, a journalist of the highest class, but, in my opinion, his attitude towards this small child was very cruel and completely insensitive. He is also a father, and he knows very well that with a child you need to be extremely careful and attentive in your assessments and criticism towards him. Of course, there should be criticism, but it should be careful and not malicious. In relation to such a little girl, criticism should be in the form of a game or soft and paternal. So that the child would perceive it correctly, but Mr. Posner chose a different style of communication with a child no taller than 40 cm...", comments Maxim Fadeev.

Renata Litvinova also treated the girl unkindly. Pretentiously, she said that the girl did not understand what she was singing about, that it was a forbidden technique to sing adult songs, characterizing this situation as stupid.

“And cries. Why is he crying?”- asked Litvinova.

One can only imagine what was going on at that moment in the soul of an 8-year-old girl, when she listened to all this addressed to her, standing on stage in front of the whole country, but Vika rose to the occasion. She did not wipe away the tears that fell like beads from her eyes in front of her offenders.

“I will not comment on Litvinova’s behavior, grimaces and texts, everything is clear with her,”- continues Maxim Fadeev.

A writer, screenwriter and blogger expressed her attitude towards Renata Litvinova’s behavior on the “Minute of Fame” program Elena Miro:

“The vile woman simply trampled on the innocent child, driving him into feelings of shame and guilt. It’s not clear, really, why? Because the girl dared to sing the song that Ramazanova wrote for her Renata?...
It’s bad that the child was humiliated. Too early the man went through his first public humiliation in his life. This can traumatize the girl for a long time. Creatures, of course. Stupid, soulless creatures."

However, this is not the first time that these jury members have such an attitude towards the performers in this show.

A similar incident occurred with show participant Zhenya Smirnov, a dancer who is missing one leg. After watching his speech, Litvinova, calling Evgeniy an amputee, said that “probably this main reason, according to which he should stay in this project and suggested that he fasten his other leg so as not to “exploit the topic.”

To everything written, Maxim Fadeev writes on Instagram, after Zhenya Smirnov’s number I want to add: “I can’t understand how Litvinova’s remarks could be broadcast. If it were a live broadcast, then it would be understandable, but it is common knowledge that the show is being recorded. And this means that everything that goes on air is approved by all levels of management and can generally be considered the position of Channel One too? And this is the worst thing, because they make a show out of this pain.”

Victoria Starikova came to Moscow from Nizhny Tagil to take part in the “Minute of Fame” competition. The girl sang Zemfira’s song “Live in your head.” The schoolgirl's performance was judged by Sergei Yursky, Vladimir Pozner, Sergei Svetlakov and Renata Litvinova. Knowing Zemfira closely, Litvinova criticized the girl’s performance. The actress emphasized that Victoria chose a “too mature” song, the meaning of which she did not understand. Vladimir Pozner sided with Litvinova and suggested that the parents could simply promote themselves at the expense of their daughter. Writes about this TV channel "360".

Despite the criticism, the girl advanced to the next round of the competition, where she and her mother sang Sergei Trofimov’s song “Motherland.” But the jury members were again dissatisfied with the performance of the young singer. Mom Anna Starikova said that her daughter is very worried about what happened. In particular, she does not understand why the parents were attacked.

Viewers' opinions on this situation were divided: some stood up for the young singer and called the decision of Litvinova and Posner unfair. Others joined in the criticism of Starikova.

After Victoria took part in the show, she was awarded the “Person of the Year” award in the category “Children who glorified the city” in Nizhny Tagil. Now the girl studies in two schools: regular and music. She combines studying with performing. So, last summer, the schoolgirl took third place in the international festival “Generation NEXT 2017.”

Yesterday we reported on the incident in popular show Channel One: the strict jury took up arms against 8-year-old Vika Starikova, who, in their opinion, simply did not have the right to sing such an adult Zemfira song. The child had to hear such things about himself that there was no end to his tears. Were Vladimir Pozner, Renata Litvinova and Sergei Yursky right? We continue the discussion. A girl comes out. She's eight years old. Came from Nizhny Tagil. And he sings “Live in your head” by Zemfira.

Sings unevenly.

There are different girls in the world: some go out, hoot and work like a German machine, others shake, bite their nails, but forget about everything on stage, others have fun, joke around and perceive everything as a game, others are not confident in themselves. These are the majority. The girl Victoria is one of those.

The little girl makes a mistake, then speeds up and delivers a pretty good cover overall. Mine. With blots, but honest and sometimes really talented.

And then they start to trample her.

Yursky gets up first.

“I would dream that you would write this song,” the actor turned to the girl, referring to Zemfira’s song, written by her at the age of 35. - I feel the originality in the performance. This is not imitation. But, bowing to you, I’m afraid that on the next tour they will ask you to sing a different song. Or write something yourself that you didn’t present today. There is no need to rush. So you happened on big stage. Began! And don't let it be running. Let it be normal growth.

And presses the red button - home.

The girl begins to cry.

Victoria Starikova Live in your head. Moment of glory. Fragment of the release dated February 25, 2017.

Continues Renata Litvinova, who, of course, was given large amounts during Zemfira’s song. She was offended that the girl:

a) doesn’t know Zemfira’s songs;

b) doesn’t understand what the song is about;

c) the parents persuaded her to use the prohibited method.

Why is it prohibited? The parents, remembering the friendship of Zemfira and Renata, decided to persuade the child to sing exactly this in order to pity Litvinova?

The finishing touch is Vladimir Pozner, who believes that it is impermissible to release an untalented child to slaughter just to amuse parental vanity.

The only adequate person was Svetlakov, who tried to stop the madness and save the child.

I watched and watched this video. And I couldn’t understand: how can you be such callous, wooden and heartless idols? Why were they put there at all? Yursky was born in 1935, he does not know the songs of Zemfira, or Splin, or the rappers who come to the project. Why put him in an awkward position?

By what professional criteria did they kill the little one? Did director Litvinova or TV presenter Posner hear a marriage in the upper register or understand that the girl couldn’t hold her tessitura? People who had previously happily allowed professional acrobats, professional tightrope walkers, a professional magician, professional dancers, professional gymnasts into the project. For what? Who is interested in looking at them? Are we at the Zapashny circus for a casting?

And how is this even possible in principle: the child cries, and they gradually roll him into the asphalt with passion. What are you, comrades? This is a show. Let everything be imperfect. She tried, she hit almost everything, accompanied herself, watched her hands. Which makes the task twice as difficult.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Pozner and Sergei Yuryevich Yursky are so fond of remembering censorship and artistic councils that ruined a host of talents in the USSR.

When child prodigies take the stage, it’s already clear that they are great,” Posner explained.

It’s okay that Irina Arkhipova (the great Opera singer. - Ed.) came to the conservatory at the age of 23? Montgomery (jazz guitarist - Ed.) started playing guitar at 20. Khachaturian studied at physics and mathematics and until he was 19 he only heard about music.

Eight years old man. Eight. At this age, nothing can be understood - it happened, it didn’t happen. An eared miracle with a scythe. She sang unevenly, but sincerely, quite cleanly on the choruses, originally, did not copy, and put all her little heart into it.

As a result, the child was forced to throw a coin (!!!) to determine whether it stays on or not, because two judges are for it, two are against it. Medieval savagery and humiliation. It would be better if the revolver was immediately issued with one bullet - why waste time on trifles.

And, most importantly, not a single muscle moved on their faces when the child cried. Only Svetlakov, like a bear in a cage, was penduluming from Litvinova to Yursky.

Creative personalities, subtle natures, everything is clear.

“I sing this song that if you love a person, you don’t have to offend him,” a guilty Vika crucified in front of them on stage.

Is it possible to be more precise?

She's eight.

OPINION

Don't cripple children with fame

Natalia VARSEGOVA

Our nine-year-old Ksyusha dreams of getting on “The Voice.” Children". She watches the show and sees herself on stage, beautiful, sonorous and successful. It takes a lot of parental effort to explain to your child that all this is empty vanity. Look everyone, oh, what am I! - This is the path to spiritual destruction. Showing off and making faces for the entertainment of the public is a low thing for a decent child. (This is my husband’s and my opinion. We will consider objections.) ()
