Where the group is now there are different rules. That there are different rules with the group now

The finalists of the reality show “Become a Star” criticize “People’s Artist” and are preparing for a second breakthrough. On the eve of Student Day, the first graduates of the first in history visited Kuzbass Russian television project for sculpting stars in real time - the group “Other Rules”, especially loved by our fellow countrymen thanks to Roman Beresnev, a student in the department of pop directing at KemGUKI.

Roma is a diligent student and, despite permanent job in the capital, regularly appears at his native university. Whatever you say, no one has canceled the session yet. So this time, after a performance at the Volna cultural and entertainment complex, student Beresnev sat down with his books and actively prepared for the exams for a whole week. Which, however, did not stop the MK correspondent from meeting with the four “others” and finding out from them last news. And, in particular, ask the question that worries everyone: “Where did Zhannette and Karina go? And why did the new soloist Sonya Ignatova join the already familiar Alena Selezneva, Alexei Ignatov and Roma Beresnev?”
Novel: There is an explanation for everything. The fact is that after parting with our first producer Alexander Shulgin, we had a change in composition. This happened almost a year ago, I just came new producer Egor Negin, who decided to change the composition, brought new material, made stylistic adjustments, etc. This is how it appeared new girl Sonya. We grow, we change. And so then they perceived what was happening quite adequately.
“MK”: Weren’t you worried? After all, you were together from the first day and always the five of you...
Novel: We've calmed down a little now. But the sediment still remained. Yes, it's a little disappointing. But, thank God, we survived this period.
“MK”: Do you know what the ex-“others” are doing now?
Alexei: We still have friendly relations. We meet often and talk on the phone. Zhanna auditioned for New Wave 2004 in Jurmala. But, unfortunately, it didn’t work out. And Karina is happy with this moment his personal life (and also, as far as MK has learned, he is participating in the new project “Diva” - author).
“MK”: Why did you break up with Shulgin? There are still a lot of rumors about this...
Novel: Initially, we had an agreement with him to release one album and one video. And so it happened in the end: the album “Fly!” was released, which Shulgin and composer Evgeny Kuritsyn wrote for us, and two videos - “Fly! Run!” and "Opera". When the contract ended, we went our separate ways mutual consent. Still in good relations. In general, Shulgin is very interesting and cool. A man with a very clear own opinion, which is almost impossible to challenge. And if you try, you will fail.
“MK”: Who determines the musical policy of the group today?
Alexei: We ourselves! We are currently in a transition period, because, naturally, it is not easy to change the composition and image. Yes, we had a seasonal producer, but on our own initiative we parted ways with him ( we're talking about about Mr. Negin - author).
Alyona: We work according to the Western principle - there the artists themselves choose with whom to work. Same Madonna - she changes producers according to her mood.
"MK": Not a bad comparison...
Alexei: Well, you need to strive for the best! It’s more interesting to work with people who invest something new in you...
Alyona: At the moment, we have already recorded and are ready to release our second album. And for now everything depends on our record company (today “Other Rules” is bound by obligations with “www.records” - author). When she decides to launch a new PR campaign, then you will see our new disc. We hope that this will happen in the spring. In the meantime, we are actively giving concerts.
"MK": I would like to know more about your new soloist…
Sonya: I was born in Moscow, sang in the choir since childhood, participated in various projects, three years before “Other Rules” I was a member of the girl group “Party”. So I’ve been on stage for a very long time. Previously, she combined singing with modeling. But now I’ve definitely decided.
Novel: In fact, Sonya is very good girl. Charismatic is very important. Beauty, talent, voice - she has it all. The four of us worked very well together. Today we have the same strong family as before. Remember Japanese transforming toys? Which are going to form one big giant? It’s the same with “Other Rules”: when we are together, we are a giant!
“MK”: I wonder how you evaluate the latest “star” projects of Russian television?
Alexei: Both “People’s Artists” were made by the same team as our own project “Become a Star”. But, compared to what we had, “People’s Artist” is much angrier. In my opinion. First of all, this concerns the statements of the jury towards the contestants. There was a pleasant, friendly atmosphere at Become a Star. Of course, there was nervousness and emotional tension, but I don’t like that now, on “People’s Artist,” this tension is achieved by some not very pure methods.
Alyona: We know the behind the scenes of this project, and we know why the jury members speak as they do. Yes, of course, we need to create a show, but still not so cruel.
Alexei: And also, you know, we are against any competition between “Become a Star”, “Star Factory”, “People’s Artist” and so on. This is absolutely different ways revealing talents, despite the fact that this is all a reality show. Although now, it seems to me, the audience is already fed up with them, the ratings are falling. Naturally, what we have seen lately is already too much.
“MK”: At the end of the interview, a logical question for Roma: has Kemerovo changed while you were away?
Novel: I don't know if it's for the better or for the worse, but he's definitely changed. Not even the city itself, but the setting. Maybe this is a view from the outside, from a person who has lived in Moscow, at a different pace, with different faces. Kemerovo is a nice, cozy city, very green in summer. For me, Kemerovo is home! It's always very good here.

Made it to the top thirty.
• Sergey Obosyan (Moscow). On the project he received the nickname “the eternally dissatisfied Sergei.” He actively commented on all the shortcomings of the project organization and the inconveniences of being in isolation. He was one of the lucky one hundred invited to the next stage of selection at a hotel near Moscow, but dropped out after a dance competition.

"Other Rules" is a group that was incredibly popular in the early 2000s. Do you know the first and last names of the team members? Or maybe you are interested in their biography? The necessary information is in the article. We wish you pleasant reading!

History of creation

In September 2002, the “Be a Star” musical project, an analogue of the world-famous PopStars show, was launched on the Rossiya TV channel. Thousands of ordinary girls and boys came to the casting, coming from different parts of our country. In the end, only three dozen participants were selected. They had to live under the guns of cameras for several months, attend classes with choreographers and vocal masters, and also perform at reporting concerts.

“Other Rules” is a group created as part of the “Become a Star” project. It united 5 young, talented and ambitious performers (three girls and two boys). It's time to name them. The group featured: Roma Beresnev, Zhannette Kavesa, Alexey Ignatov, Alena Selezneva and Karina Akhmetzaripova.

The team reached the final and was declared the winner of the show. Song “Fly! Run!” appealed to millions of Russian listeners. The guys left the “star house”. But their career did not end there; on the contrary, it continued.

The names and surnames of the “Other Rules” team were announced above. Now let's take a quick look at their biography.

Jeannette Kawesa

The attractive mulatto was born in 1981 in Moscow. From the age of 5 she participated in music competitions and festivals. She never studied vocals. I just loved to sing. But Jeannette graduated from music school. For several years the mulatto studied piano. The teachers praised her. The girl also graduated from the academic school at the Moscow Conservatory.

Jeannette's main calling is music. “Other Rules” is the project that allowed her to show her abilities and realize herself creatively. But in 2003, she left the team to pursue a solo career.

Alena Selezneva

She was born in 1985 in the town of Tosno, in the Leningrad region. Since childhood, I studied ballroom dancing and attended a music studio. Alena participated in various competitions and programs, including the famous “Morning Star”.

Roman Beresnev

This fashionable and smiling guy was born in Dresden (Germany). A few months later his family returned to Russia. At the age of 9, Roman was accepted into the children's theater troupe, in the vocal department. After some time, he began to participate in local and regional amateur competitions. Often the boy took prizes.

Karina Akhmetzaripova

A native of Ufa, she dreamed of becoming a famous singer since childhood. Her parents (musicians) fully supported their daughter. From the age of 5, Karina attended a vocal studio. Thanks to perseverance and great talent, she managed to get first into the “Become a Star” project, and then into the “Other Rules” team. The group turned out to be bright and united.

Alexey Ignatov

Born in 1976 in Moscow. From an early age the boy studied dancing and music. He mastered instruments such as the balalaika and guitar. In April 2016, Alexey left this world. The circumstances of his death have not been disclosed. Ignatov left behind a son and wife.

Performances

In 2003, the guys released their debut album “Fly! Run! The entire circulation was sold out in a matter of days by fans of the “Other Rules” group. The band members gave several concerts in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

But I had to wait a while with touring activities. What is this connected with? Have people really stopped buying tickets to concerts of the group “Other Rules”? The composition of the group changed in 2003. This did not happen in one day. First, Jeannette announced her resignation. Then Karina followed her example. The remaining guys had to urgently look for a replacement. In the end, they took only one girl - Sofia Ignatova, the former lead singer of the Party group. With her appearance, the team received a second wind. Together with Alena, the team recorded the album “Push Off - We Attract.” It turned out to be quite successful.

Finally

“Other Rules” is a group that has made a certain contribution to the development of Russian pop music. All the guys who performed as part of this group are talented performers and comprehensively developed personalities. We wish them further success and happiness in their personal lives!

Composition of the group:
Alexey Ignatov (vocals)
Alena Selezneva (vocals)
Roman Beresnev (vocals)
Sofia Ignatova (vocals)

The television project “Become a Star” (known throughout the world as PopStars), launched on the Rossiya TV channel in September 2002, clearly demonstrated that ordinary boys and girls from various cities in Russia can become real stars - they are talented, purposeful and worthy of standing on the same stage with recognized luminaries of our stage.

In 2002, the group “Other Rules” left the television project “Become a Star” and became an independent group. The guys passed all the tests: a casting of 8 thousand people, life under the surveillance of television cameras, a huge amount of work.

The group was created as a broad brand that unites the image of young, talented, energetic, successful boys and girls; the brand’s motto was the phrase from the first song “Simple boys, simple girls are flying towards life!”

Following unprecedentedly idealistic principles from the point of view of cynical show business, this project attracted the attention of millions of Russians. In front of the whole country, ordinary guys were step by step approaching fame, making their incredible dream come true.

The winners were Roman Beresnev from Kemerovo, Karina Akhmetzaripova from Ufa, Zhannette Kawesa from Moscow, Alena Selezneva from St. Petersburg and Alexey Ignatov from Moscow.

The quintet released its debut album, took part in more than 30 television programs, released three video clips, appeared on 14 charts in a variety of media, and conquered two hundred cities in Russia and other regions with its performances. Rapid popularity, close public attention, as well as a grueling tour schedule - the guys lived with all this for several months.

In 2003, the guys released the album “Fly!”, and then disappeared from the press for a long time.

The break in the creative activity of “Other Rules” was caused by changes in the composition of the group. The group has changed – both internally and externally! Karina and Zhannette left “Other Rules”, and the remaining members of the group were joined by Sofya Ignatova, who has been a soloist in the “Party” group for the past few years. The girl brought a fresh note to the group. “Different Rules” have really matured and their voices have taken on a new coloration.

The result of the group’s creative search was the long-awaited album “Push-Push-Attract”, which is radically different from the previous record.

Currently, the group “Other Rules” is working on new material, preparing for the filming of a new video, and for a new photo shoot.

The image of the “Other Rules” group is young, energetic, talented, successful girls and boys, open to experimentation.

Winners! Young stars!

But at the same time, “simple boys, simple girls,” guys from our yard, who achieved everything on their own in fair struggle and open competition. They have become an example and hope for those who dream of achieving success in life, and not only in the field of music.
