New Year's Eve voting on the first results. It became known which of the stars will perform on Channel One on New Year's Eve

Olga Buzova was only in 33rd place

On October 30, the voting organized by Channel One and the Odnoklassniki social network ends in order to select artists who will sing in New Year's Eve on the main channel of the country.
Anyone could vote for the proposed artists or add their favorite artist to this list. Voting closes today, but the positions of the performers have not changed for a week.
At the first place Grigory Leps— he scored 65,175 thousand votes. Ani Lorak lagging behind by almost 20 thousand votes. Further places were distributed as follows: Nargiz, Polina Gagarina, Artik&Astik, “Leningrad”, Alekseev, “Hands Up”, Svetlana Loboda. In 10th place - Alla Pugacheva with 29157 votes.

Second "twenty": Burito, Valeria, Basta, Irina Allegrova, Yuri Shatunov, Elena Vaenga, Max Barskikh, Egor Creed, MiyaGi&Endgame, Dan Balan.
Discovery of the year - Olga Buzova scored only 14370, securing only 33rd place. Buzova’s huge army of followers on Instagram (almost 11 million people) did not bring her victory.

A shortlist of 60 people for voting was compiled based on the popularity of the performers on the Odnoklassniki social network. Anyone could vote for three stars and add any name to this shortlist. The management of Channel One promised that the leaders of the popular vote will be invited to film in New Year's show. This promise was made at the beginning of the year on the online show “OK in touch!” Voting continued from October 11.
And the topic " people's choice“The artists were put on fire after a blogger from Rostov-on-Don, Vadim Manukyan, drew up a petition in early January. People dubbed it “against New Year’s TV,” and on social networks they began to discuss the dominance of the same people in the lights. In an appeal to the management of Channel One, Manukyan asked to change the format of the New Year's show. Vadim Manukyan’s idea of ​​drawing up a petition was born after he read producer Maxim Fadeev’s criticism of New Year’s television broadcasts on social networks. Vadim wrote to the producer about his idea to create a petition, and he supported him. This, as well as heated discussions on social networks, inspired the blogger to write an appeal to the management of Channel One. The petition was signed by more than 170 thousand people.
It is interesting that Maxim Fadeev stated that his artists will not participate in the “light” of Channel One. Namely Fadeev, producer Nargiz, who firmly holds third place in the voting. Maxim Fadeev commented on Nargiz’s leadership in this voting on social networks: “We respect and appreciate your attention and love for the artist. But I want to ask each of you to support us and not vote, so as not to make your favorite artist look like a clown. I have worked with Channel One for too long to believe their loud statements about “new program changes” ... "
We'll see whether Maxim Fadeev changes his point of view on New Year's Eve.

1.3 million people from Russia, as well as countries near and far abroad, took part in the voting. The project covered a variety of audience segments, including young users: for example, 10% of the votes for their favorite artists were given by people under 18 years of age, while about 50% of the users who voted were under 35 years of age. The most active region in terms of the number of votes was Moscow: 15% of the votes were cast by residents of the capital. Also, the artists received the greatest support from Krasnodar, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk.

Voting started on October 11 in the Channel One group on the social network. Users could choose their three favorite artists from a shortlist based on the musical preferences of the OK audience, as well as suggest one more artist from those who were not included in the top 60. After two weeks of voting, the top 10 artists most frequently suggested by users were included in the main list.

For us it was an interesting and unexpected experiment, born impromptu: “Odnoklassniki” in live our show suggested holding such a vote and we accepted this proposal. This good opportunity“to compare notes”, to understand how much we feel and understand the audience’s request. We were also prepared for completely unexpected results - the list that was initially proposed for voting was not compiled by Channel One. These are the artists whose music is most often listened to by Odnoklassniki users. As it turned out, the audience and I understand each other quite well. The leader of the voting, Grigory Leps, regularly takes part in the broadcasts of Channel One and was the mentor of “The Voice” for two seasons, as was Polina Gagarina, who took fourth place. Nargiz was completely discovered by “The Voice”. In a sense, this project introduced Basta to a wide audience far from rap culture. Alla Pugacheva, around whose name spears were broken according to the results of the last New Year's project, entered the top 10 most popular stars - we take off our hats, we hope, along with those who doubted it. In a word, we coincided in many ways, and somewhere we received interesting tips and will be happy to invite artists who have not previously been involved in our broadcast to participate in our New Year’s project. 30 leading performers will receive invitations to participate in the New Year's show audience voting. Thank you for your participation and attention to our project. Let's meet on the evening of December 31st on Channel One!

It was important for us to give different people the opportunity to choose their favorite artists. The shortlist included musicians popular with various segments of the audience: very young stars and already famous participants New Year's shows, rappers, rock musicians, pop music performers. Thanks to this, all active groups of the Odnoklassniki audience took part in the voting: children, teenagers, young people under 35, and older users. As a result, the top 30 turned out to meet the interests of different people: Watching the New Year's broadcast will now be much more interesting for OK users.

After criticism of the last New Year's show, Channel One is choosing artists for this year's show on Odnoklassniki. Together with traditional performers, the channel is ready to invite artists to the New Year's broadcast, for whom social network users will vote. In addition to Polina Gagarina, the short list included, in particular, the groups “Mushrooms” and “Time and Glass”.

Odnoklassniki (OK) has begun voting for the performers who will be invited to the New Year's broadcast of Channel One, its representative said. Users until October 30 can choose up to three performers from the proposed shortlist and enter the name of one more who is not on the list. The shortlist is based on the music popularity rating in Odnoklassniki (OK); The top 60 includes singers and groups whose tracks are most often listened to by users.

Among them are regular participants in the New Year's broadcast (Polina Gagarina, Irina Dubtsova and Ani Lorak) and names that have never appeared there (Mushrooms, Time and Glass, Jah Khalib and Mot, IOWA).

The leaders of the voting will be those for whom they vote with a large margin, but it is not yet clear by what margin which artist will win, says a representative of “First”. According to him, until now the channel has not used online voting to select television participants.

Select artists for New Year's concert Based on the results of a vote among users, OK was proposed by the general director of Channel One, Konstantin Ernst. Last New Year's broadcast, part of the audience sarcastically criticized due to the participation of permanent pop stars, including Boris Moiseev, Sofia Rotaru, Oleg Gazmanov, Irina Allegrova and others. Music producer Maxim Fadeev called the New Year’s shows of “First” and “Russia 1” “rural matinees based on requests from the 1980s” with “an impossible repertoire, popular prints, terrible jokes.” A petition was circulated on social networks to Channel One with a demand to “stop the New Year’s TV disgrace.” In January, Mr. Ernst, answering a question on the OK social network about complaints about these shows, said that their system viewers are people over 45 years old. At the same time, he considered the youth audience’s complaints against them fair and announced a vote in the OK on the composition of artists, from which he would take into account at least the top 20.

For the last five years, viewers have been choosing the winners of the “Voice” show live via SMS. “It’s turning out pretty good. Let’s see how everything turns out with the New Year,” says Yuri Aksyuta, chief producer of music and entertainment programs at Channel One. “Everyone is interested in the success of the experiment.” The project is interesting because it gives users the opportunity to influence the content, adds OK head Anton Fedchin.

Viewers will be able to change the New Year's program on the main federal channel by voting

Apparently, the scandal with criticism of the New Year's broadcast on Channel One and calls for a change in format, directed personally to Konstantin Ernst, has finally reached its addressee. The first announced the popular choice of artists to participate in New Year's Eve 2018, and the author of the idea was Ernst himself. At the request of Realnoe Vremya, the author of the appeal to the head of the federal channel - Rostov blogger Vadim Manukyan talked about which artists were left out of the voting, which newcomers got the chance to perform at the New Year’s show, and whether there was a hidden trick in choosing a platform for the “national” voting.

“You won’t find Leshchenko and Kobzon there anymore, and Basque is not included in the “chosen ones””

Partly a miracle happened. Criticism of the New Year's broadcast on Russian TV, which was launched into the information space in January, nine months later brought unexpected results. Let me remind you that everything goes to Channel One and directly to Konstantin Ernst regarding “ Blue lights", in which the same faces appear from year to year. The petition proposed holding an open audience vote in a hit parade format, so that every Russian would have the opportunity to formulate a program for the New Year's show.

When literally in a day the number of signatures on the appeal exceeded 100 thousand, the head of Channel One came out “on the carpet” to TV viewers (that is, in social media) and promised his audience changes. And so, just a couple of days ago, I learned from the news that the First One nevertheless listened to the “voice of the people” and started voting together with the social network Odnoklassniki. Everyone can choose three performers they would like to see on the New Year's TV show from the 60 on the list. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the top 20, already familiar to all Russians, was noticeably diluted big amount new names.

Pugacheva and Kirkorov quite obviously appear on this list, but you won’t find Leontyev, Leshchenko and Kobzon there, and Basque is not included in the “chosen ones”. It is curious that next to the “mastodons” Russian stage The list includes the creators of this summer's hit - the group "Mushrooms". For the Odnoklassniki audience (45+), this is certainly a “dark forest”, and it is quite difficult to imagine adults or grandparents singing “The ice is melting between us.” And Yegor Creed, together with IOWA, is not an authority for them. In this context, the insidious plan of Channel One is quite clearly visible - to put on a par with the old and everything famous artists young performers whose names are known only to the generation under 30 who are not members of Odnoklassniki.

“The Russian pop diva had to engage in a fight in absentia with Olga Buzova”

However, if you look at the preliminary voting results, it becomes clear that the plan was not entirely successful. Yes, we can accept the fact that Grigory Leps is at the top of the chart, but, mind you, Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov with their hits “Million” Red roses" and "Sneg" turned out to be very far from the leading positions and are now fighting for 15-20 places. Moreover, if Philip Kirkorov competes with Irina Allegrova, then the Russian pop diva had to enter into a correspondence battle with Olga Buzova, who this year suddenly decided that the time had come to become a singer. I think it will turn out to be quite an interesting spectacle if everyone is divided into pairs and Pugacheva goes on stage with Buzova, Kirkorov with “Mushrooms”, and Allegrova, say, with Creed. But seriously, you will most likely end up with one big vinaigrette.

I would like to note that singer Nargiz is now among the leaders of the audience voting in Odnoklassniki, but it seems that we will not be able to see her on New Year’s Eve 2018. Producer Maxim Fadeev recently stated that his artists are on the First’s stop list and for this reason none of them will perform in New Year's program this channel. By the way, it will be interesting to find out which path the other two will take on New Year’s Eve federal channels, who have already tried to meet the TV viewer halfway with their new shows this year. The factor of Andrei Malakhov on Rossiya-1 cannot be underestimated, plus Alexander Oleshko left NTV, which means that this channel will not have any problems with the host for the holiday program.

To summarize, we should pay tribute to Channel One for the attempt made, because until this moment such voting was not offered to the TV viewer - we were simply presented with a fait accompli. The fact that the Russians managed to open the door to our television at least a little is undoubtedly a pleasant fact, but I would also like to dream that television bosses will continue to work on content, and not produce endless “background shows” that they themselves do not watch And they don’t advise it to their children.
