People's Artist group has different rules. New different rules

"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 Rossiya TV channel launched music project“Be a Star”, an analogue of the world famous show PopStars. Thousands of ordinary girls and boys who came from different corners 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 I participated in music competitions and festivals. She never studied vocals. I just loved to sing. And here music school Jeannette graduated. 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 in 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. I have been studying since childhood ballroom dancing and visited 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 troupe children's theater, to the vocal department. After some time, he began to participate in local and regional competitions amateur performances. Often the boy took prizes.

Karina Akhmetzaripova

A native of Ufa, since childhood she dreamed of becoming famous singer. 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. WITH early years the boy was engaged in 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 debut album“Fly! Run! The entire circulation was sold out in a matter of days by fans of the group “Other Rules”. 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 suit. The remaining guys had to urgently look for a replacement. In the end, they took only one girl - Sofia Ignatova, former soloist Party groups. With her appearance, the team received a second wind. Together with Alena, the team recorded the album “Let's Push - Let's 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!

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 dispute. 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 saw in Lately, this 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.

Five of the ten finalists of the project unsuccessfully tour Russia; the rest were simply abandoned by the organizers.

Last September, the “Become a Star” project was launched on the RTR channel. Out of eight thousand participants from all over Russia selected about 100 finalists who were included in the Moscow round of the competition. After all stages of auditioning, only 10 lucky ones reached the finals.
And only five finalists made it into the lineup new group called "Other Rules". What happened to the rest of the guys, alas, remains behind the scenes.

Former project participants may not talk about everything

- In Moscow, we signed agreements that prohibit us from talking about certain things regarding the “Be a Star” project,– says one of the project participants Yuliana Gubareva. – And I would not like to break this word.

In Krasnodar, the “Be a Star” qualifying round took place at the “From Dusk Till Dawn” club in July. Out of 200 contestants, the organizers of the project - Fekla Tolstaya, Seva Novgorodtsev and Alexey Makarevich - chose only seven participants instead of the declared thirteen. Among them were singers Marina Gvetadze and Yuliana Gubareva.

The contestants were kept locked up

- In the country hotel where the television version was filmed, we were completely cut off from outside world, – says Yuliana Gubareva. – Participants were forbidden to leave the territory of the house; they were not allowed to receive guests and relatives. The organizers explained the harsh conditions simply: “Everything is fair with us.”
I only lived in the hotel for three days. The jury justified their choice as follows: it is better for me to perform solo, and not as part of a group.
- From the Krasnodar guys, I left for among the last, - said Marina Gvetadze. – I lived in the house for a week. All this time, we went through two qualifying rounds a day - we sang, danced, and learned songs in between. The work, admittedly, is exhausting.

Juliana: “I was wearing thousand-dollar shorts.”

At the end of 2002, based on the results of online voting and letters from viewers, 20 people were selected from the participants who did not reach the finals. They were invited to the Mother See to film the final gala concert, which was later broadcast by RTR throughout the country.
Yuliana Gubareva was also among the guests.

- For two weeks we lived in the Ostankino hotel. Every day there are rehearsals and preparation for the concert. I managed to sleep only three hours a day,- Juliana shared. - Worked with us best choreographers, stylists, hairdressers and makeup artists. Needless to say: my tattered shorts stage costume from stylist Andrei Manuylov cost about a thousand dollars! All project participants wore only exclusive clothes.
Bigwigs were invited to the gala concert itself Russian show business. During the concert there was no end to offers! For me personally, the current producer of the group "Other Rules" Alexander Shulgin (ex-husband and producer of singer Valeria - approx. author) offered cooperation. But I was not satisfied with the terms of the contract, and I refused.

Agnia and Andrey were thrown

- We still maintain relationships with all participants in the project. They are all just amazing guys– Juliana continues. – During preparation for the gala concert, we communicated closely and, despite the tight schedule, had parties every day and relaxed. Now we call each other, asking about everyone’s life. I know that almost everyone remained to live in Moscow. The fabulous offers that came during the concert turned out to be just window dressing after the show. For example, the finalist from Kazan Agnia was loudly invited to work as a VJ on Muz-TV. But in fact, everything was limited to casting for general principles, which she, alas, did not pass. Andrey received an invitation to be a presenter on radio Europe Plus. One of the radio executives went on stage and announced this to the whole country. And when Andrei came to “Europe Plus” they looked at him with bewilderment - they say, “who are you anyway?” That was the end of it.
One of the participants, Irina (she was remembered by the audience as always crying), was given a training device right at the concert. He was demonstratively dragged onto the stage, but where he went after is unknown. Nastya Donets from Rostov-on-Don was promised a concert in France. But as far as I heard, everything remained at the level of promises.

- It's just a show! And no more,– Marina Gvetadze calmly explains.

Those who don't become stars will still make themselves known

According to Yuliana and Marina, those who were not included in the “Other Rules” group did not despair and did not give up. The guys are in full swing creative life: recordings of songs, videos, albums. Our girls are not far behind either. Marina regularly performs in the nightclubs "Salvador Dali" and "Strike". And recently she became the winner of the TV show “Stairway to Heaven”. By the end of the year, all the finalists of the show will release their CD, which will be rotated on regional and Russian radio stations.

Yuliana studies at the Conservatory of Culture and Arts in the folk singing department. She studies vocals in the class of the Honored Artist of Russia V.I. Zhuravleva-Ponamorenko. Yuliana combines her studies with work at Premiere. Yuna is a show theater soloist, her repertoire includes pop, jazz and Russian folk songs. Together with creative association I have already traveled half of Europe.

- "Become a Star" is an excellent school for a beginning performer,- the girls admit. – And the guys who didn’t make it to the finals will still make themselves known!

On April 11, the concert of the group “Other Rules” was canceled in Krasnodar. The reason is the catastrophic unsaleability of tickets. There are rumors that similar failures haunt “Other Rules” not only in Krasnodar...

Composition of the group:

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 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 Sofya Ignatova joined the remaining members of the group, throughout recent years

, soloist in the group “Party”. 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

creative searches The group’s long-awaited album “Push-Pull-Attract” was radically different from the previous record. IN

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.
