The show "The Voice" is a new hit on Russian television. Unlike all other music programs this and past seasons, the show is firmly and confidently holding the lead in the race for audience attention. What caused the interest of the public? And what can we expect from the jury of the new season?

A little about history

Nevertheless, the domestic version turned out to be a little different: the viewers noted that our jury, even in a "blind" competition, seeks to guess the vocalist's appearance, so it turns out not the most impartial assessment of vocal talent. But the differences from the original format are inevitable: we have a different stage, different musicians, different mentors and a different opinion about the "right" artist.

TV show format

There were many musical programs on the national television in the “talent search” format. At one time, for example, the "Star Factory" was popular. But time goes on, everything changes. The audience, its tastes and needs are changing, and this is also a factor that needs to be adjusted to. Television viewers became uninteresting to watch the same young artists singing to the soundtrack. So, it took a show where the emphasis will be on something completely different. This explains the popularity of the "Voice" project in our country - there are completely different participants and live vocals.

Rules and jury

As in the original TV show, the main criterion for judging the contestants is voice. It is the lively and strong vocals that make it possible for the jury members to evaluate the artist and choose the best ones to pass to the next stage. Each mentor is a recognized master of the Russian music scene. His task is to select members for his team, relying only on hearing. After the stage of “blind listening”, the transmission format turns into a “knockout” fight between the contestants. And it is on the mentors that the staginess of the performances and the correct choice of performances, necessary to unleash the potential of each of the selected artists, depend. The jury carefully selects the repertoire for all of its students, transferring musical experience during rehearsals.

On the show, the goal is not to blind the artists to a new star, the essence of the project is in the teamwork of the mentor and the ward, which sometimes results in completely unexpected and informal numbers. Most of the already formed, albeit unknown, artists come to the casting of the Voice. Therefore, the composition of the jury is very important for them.

Previous seasons mentors

The format of the TV show defined a clear division of mentors by musical genre. Thus, the participants who made an impression on the jury had the right to choose the teacher that impressed them the most. All four mentors quickly won the love of viewers with their impartiality, professionalism and sincere desire to discover new talents. The audience was looking forward to new releases and worried about the contestants they liked. The show confidently took a leading position in the rating of the TV broadcasting network, and the number of those wishing to participate in the sensational project grew exponentially.

Transfer of the experience of the masters

The show "The Voice" immediately distinguished itself with its atmosphere. Against the background of other vocal programs, it was precisely the attitude of the jury members to their wards that distinguished him. Participation in each performance, genuine experiences, respect for the participants - these qualities were appreciated by the audience in mentors. "The Voice" did not become another "bride", instead a professional and adult show appeared. The candidates for the jury of the project were selected no less carefully than the participants. The preference was given not to the popularity and promotion of the artist, but to real talent, authority and merits in the musical field. Therefore, there was no doubt about the professionalism of the previous mentors. All of them could be liked or disliked by the audience, but the opinions of the audience have always agreed on one thing - each of them has come a long way, has rich experience, and can teach the contestants a lot. And the peculiar division of the jury members into musical genres is confirmation of this: the project brought together real masters of the Russian stage, fully realized in their field. But that was before.

Intrigue of the fourth season

After the completion of the third "Voice" TV viewers were looking forward to the new season. And many asked a difficult question: will the past mentors remain? It would seem that the composition of the jury of the project is already fully formed and cannot be changed, but rumors about changes have appeared. The viewers began to wonder who would be replaced, and, most importantly, by whom, and then the leadership of Channel One, officially announced the change in the jury of the popular project, but refused to disclose the names of the new heroes. The reasons for such measures were called very different, but the result remained unchanged: in the new season, TV viewers never saw the beloved Dima Bilan, Pelageya and Leonid Agutin.

New jury. "The Voice", season 4

The names of the mentors were kept secret to the last, even polls were offered with candidate options. There were whole discussions about who is worthy to take vacant places on the rating TV show. In the end, Season 4 began with a premiere screening and presentation of a renewed jury. To the delight of the audience and the contestants, Alexander Borisovich Gradsky did not go anywhere. The rest of the line-up has undergone dramatic changes: Polina Gagarina and Vasily Vakulenko, better known under the pseudonym Basta, replaced the previous masters.

The new mentors did not come as much of a surprise; many assumed a similar outcome. But questions crept in about whether the jury members of the new season were chosen fairly. Is getting a judge's chair related to something other than professionalism? Why exactly Polina Gagarina and now? And does Grigory Leps fit into the broadcast format?

A negative reaction is also a reaction

The new jury of the show "The Voice" ... The 4th season of the project began with this. And if initially viewers perceived the news positively, then with each new release a wave of indignation and misunderstanding is growing. On the one hand, the candidacies of all three are quite understandable, moreover, Grigory Leps and Polina Gagarina already had similar experience in the programs "Main Stage" and "I Want to Meladze". On the other hand, is the choice so successful?

One can understand the violent reaction of the audience to the jury of the show "Voice" - many were waiting for the 4th season largely thanks to the well-coordinated team of the presenter and mentors, who were no less interesting to watch than the contestants. But the new season could not meet the expectations of the viewers, the project groups on social networks were filled with negative feedback from the audience about the jury of the 4th season. "The Voice", nevertheless, is still in the grid of Friday television, but for how long?

The Voice, season 4. Jury reviews

The project of the First Channel, which exploded the ratings, is now rapidly losing ground. What is the reason for this? Is the show format outdated? Or is the new jury making itself felt? "The Voice", season 4 especially, has always uniquely united the opinions of the audience. But if initially the audience paid more attention to the participants, then in the new editions a flurry of indignation fell upon the mentors and creators of the TV show themselves.

After the start of new issues, more and more people are talking about the jury. The Voice (season 4) has become one of the most talked about. There were many posts, polls and negative comments. TV viewers are actively expressing their opinion about the new jury of the "Voice" project: season 4 has become the most discussed in the history of domestic adaptation, but for some reason in a negative way.

If we recall the first programs, then Alexander Borisovich Gradsky was mainly criticized - many did not agree with his statements and assessments. Now the opposite is true: it was the master who earned most of the audience's approval, unlike Polina Gagarina and Grigory Leps. It is their viewers who highlight them in their comments. The overall picture of the jury reviews - "The Voice", season 4, turned out to be a failure.

Of all the new mentors, only the rapper Basta falls out of the stream of universal criticism, he was received quite restrainedly, noting his inherent reasonable severity and prudence, and it was Vasily Vakulenko who caused the most questions even before the start of the season. As for Polina Gagarina, the listeners were unanimous: this artist does not hold up to the title of mentor.

She is reproached for insincerity, a desire to copy Pelageya, in antics and bias. Yes, undoubtedly, Polina Gagarina is a talented singer who is now at the peak of her career and at the zenith of fame, but “The Voice” is not the project she needs. Grigory Leps also summoned a huge one, receiving more than unflattering marks.

Many noted his unwillingness to delve into the essence of what was happening, rudeness and incompetence. Thus, we can conclude that the reviews for the new composition of the jury "Voice" (season 4) received not the best reviews.

Change of mentors \u003d change of format?

The rapid loss of rating after the start of a new season is a bad omen. It is likely that they will come to the same opinion, and changes await us again. Perhaps they will replace the mentors again, or maybe just close the project for unprofitability. One thing is for sure: in the show "The Voice" (season 4), reviews of the jury played an important role in reducing audience interest. The project as it began in 2012 has undergone significant changes. And it's not just the new faces of the panel of judges. The participants were also much weaker than the previous ones.

In the early seasons we saw non-professionals with strong and sometimes unique vocals. Now the project has turned into another place for PR. How else to explain the arrival of the ex-participant of "House 2" and the host of the program "Heads and Tails", which were favorably received by the jury? The Voice (season 4) is definitely not the same show as it was before. Having started as something fundamentally new, it gradually turns into a conveyor belt similar to the "Star Factory", which does not properly monitor the quality of the "products". Is this the fault of the new jury of the show "The Voice" (season 4)? Reviews are leaning towards a positive answer. Maybe it's just that the project is adapting to the needs of modern TV and stage, changing its original principles?

The future of the revamped show

Undoubtedly, the new season of the still popular program will not go anywhere from the Friday broadcast network. We will be able to watch to the end the struggle of the remaining participants for the desired victory. But what happens next? Will the show "The Voice" (season 4), the reviews of the jury of which were so harsh and negative, become the last in its history, or will we see this team in new issues? The question remains open, especially since there is still no worthy alternative to even such a changed format. This means that no matter how much this topic is discussed, now the leadership of Channel One does not intend to change the composition of the jury in any way.

"The Voice", season 4 (reviews of viewers here are unlikely to do anything) - the show is ambiguous. Although, who knows, maybe the audience's indignation will subside, and the audience will get used to the frivolous Polina Gagarina, and to the biased Grigory Leps, and to the informal Baste, as, for example, they once got used to Alexander Borisovich. And then, quite possibly, for the new jury "Voice" (season 4), reviews will also receive positive reviews.

In the meantime, it's worth just watching the project for the sake of the most important thing - its competitors, who are already approaching the final fights. Whatever the format of the TV show, the goal remains the same: to find a strong and professional voice. So the general picture remains the same, on the stage of the main musical project of the country, well-known, beautiful and complex compositions are again sounding to the accompaniment of a live orchestra. After all, this is the essence of the show "The Voice" (season 4). Feedback from the jury, opinions on changing mentors, and judging discussions are all secondary. It remains only to try to enjoy the talent of the contestants, not paying attention to secondary points.

Conclusion

Who knows, maybe this is temporary, and in the new season the leadership of "Voice", having listened to the feedback, will make its viewers happy with new masters in the judges' chairs, which the listeners will like more. Although, no matter how professional the mentors of a popular show are, there are hardly any candidates that will win the approval of absolutely the entire audience. This means that even the most adequate and objective future of the jury may turn out to be in the same unattractive light as the present one, because the reaction of the public is always unpredictable.

Well, that's "basta" controversy! The mentors, in general, “settled down”. (Well, what? A good verb “settled down.” Reminds of a holiday) And no matter how squeaked u-tube calls to change coaches, all this is empty. Into emptiness Youtube smokes. Let it go! Personally, we already like almost everything, although the nostalgia for the former “counselors of the chair” is still “knocking”. Nevertheless, the "note of expectation" for the next issue of VOICE is becoming more and more "juicy" and life "from Monday to Monday" is shifting to the "from Friday to Friday" scheme))). In this sense, the mentors themselves, albeit in a bright, but still the background, and the spectator's "microscope" is reconfigured to the participants of the GOLOS project. And after all, by and large, it should be so. And in the fourth edition of the show VOICE completely unusual participants clearly indicated. What is only the appearance of Hieromonk Photius worth! Grigory Lepswho chose a clergyman, to put it mildly, was shocked. That's what Blind Auditions means!

Other characters (sorry!) Also matched: this is a locksmith, and a "super-living" boy-girl from Karaganda, and a "gypsy" from Siberia, and a mother of three children, and a father of girls participating in the VOICE show Children, and a girl with braces, and "Foreigner" from Bulgaria…. Everyone is so different, but also familiar. In any city, region (some kind of "office-nasty" word) You can easily meet all of the above (for Bulgarians, however, there is no such confidence ... Although there is, with Kirkorov). And this is exactly what a people's project should be, a project for the people! Oba escaped something like that! Re-read ... Exactly Oba-na! ..

Dmitry Nagiyev in the 4th edition of the VOICE show (Season 4, who is not in the know, and Nagiyev - the host of all this ... the project (almost said: "booth")) joked too. Kapets, as if I'm writing a technical report ... Yes, Nagiyev was joking, but he "poured" the jokes in doses, apparently saving something for later. I liked the philosophical saying in his mouth about "bullets and grenades", as well as the expected action after the "money fireworks" Binazir. Mentors in jokes also did not lag behind. Especially Alexander Gradsky, who encouraged the "comrades" to a-cappella with an unexpected ending. But, as they say, it's better to see once ...

Fans"Vote" criticized the jury members on social networks

Only recently the first issues of the fourth season of the popular song show "The Voice" went on the air. And on the official page of the project, a serious discussion has already been played out. Spectators are actively discussing new members of the program jury. Recall that they were the favorites of the public: Vasily Vakulenko (rapper Basta), Grigory Leps and Polina Gagarina.

Grigory Leps was criticized most of all. One of the subscribers even called him "drunk". The singer received such a reaction from viewers, perhaps for his manner of criticizing the participants. Often "teases" and indicates their lack of professionalism. Voices have long been accustomed to criticism from the jury at First. In the first season, for example, Alexander Gradsky was under the scrutiny of the audience. And already this year, fans of the show speak positively about him.

The finalist of Eurovision, Polina Gagarina, also managed not to please some viewers. Fans of the show accuse her of unnaturalness and excessive antics. Gagarina, according to the audience, was often biased and pitied the participants.

The only member of the jury who received the most positive reviews was the famous rapper Basta. Viewers note that the rapper has always been fair. Even demanding - that's what the jury is for.

Is the Voice show losing its viewers?

• The first season of the "Voice" show was released back in 2012. The winner is Dina Garipova.

• On the eve of the new fourth season, the audience wondered who would take the honorable places of the Voices jury. Their assumptions sounded such names as Alla Pugacheva, Yuri Antonov and many others. About, .

"The Voice" is the Russian version of the international vocal project The Voice, presented in 50 countries on all continents of the world. In addition to the idea and format of the program, the producers of the Russian show also adopted the characteristic headpiece in the form of a hand holding a microphone and showing the symbol of victory. The Channel One project is considered an original music show, which differs from other Russian vocal competitions in the search for musical talent.

Project idea and history

The history of the "Voice" show dates back to 2012. On October 5, the first issue of the vocal competition was released on Channel One, which immediately took a leading position in the popularity rating among viewers. According to ratings, the music show "The Voice" immediately began to compete with the top projects Idol and The X Factor.

The singularity of the Russian vocal competition lies in the format that differs from analogs - participants for the project are selected not by external, but by vocal data. At the same time, there are no genre criteria in Golos, therefore, the participants demonstrate outstanding vocal abilities both in jazz or rock performance, and in folk songs and classical singing.

The creators and producers of the project, and Ilya Krivitsky, made Golos open and accessible to every Russian, which allows anyone who wishes, upon reaching the age of 17, to apply for participation in the casting of the program in the form of a recording of their singing.

Competition rules

The Voice Competition consists of 6 stages: Blind Auditions, Fights, Knockouts, Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Finals. At each stage of the show, the participants selected at the casting show their musical and acting skills on stage, and in the final part, the audience decides the fate of the contestants. The winner of the "Voice" show becomes the owner of the title "Best Voice of the Country" and also receives a cash prize and signs a contract for recording a disc with the country's leading recording studio.

1st stage of the competition - "Blind listening". This is the most intriguing moment of the “Voice” show, when judges, in the role of which are Russian pop stars, select a team of 14-16 people “blindly”. Participants perform on stage, and the coaches sit with their backs to them and choose their wards only by voice.

2nd stage "Voices" - "Duels". Members of each team, under the clear guidance of their mentors, compete on stage with each other in a song duel. Based on the results of the performances, the coaches select the best performers who will advance to the next round of the competition.

3rd stage of the show - "Knockouts". This round of the competition is similar to the "Duels". The participants continue to win their place in the final, performing in threes on stage with one song. At this stage, the fate of the vocalists continues to be decided by the coaches, who from each of the three participants give a "ticket" to continue participating in the project to only two.

4th round of the Voice show - quarterfinals. Here, the talent of the participants is already evaluated by mentors and spectators. Vocalists perform on stage in triplets, among which the coaches distribute the votes in a percentage ratio of 20/30/50, and viewers use SMS messages to vote for the favorite. The results of the audience and coaching votes are summed up, according to the results - 2 vocalists from each of the three go to the next round of "Voices".

The 5th stage of the "Voice" competition is a semi-final, where each contestant performs on stage with a song, the evaluation of which will give him a chance to fight for the main prize of the vocal show. After all live performances, mentors and spectators vote for the contestants, and only one participant from each team gets the right to advance to the final of the competition.

The final stage of the "Voice" is the final. In the final part of the program, the remaining 4 participants (one from each team) perform 2 songs on stage - one in solo performance, and the second with a mentor. According to the results of the live performance, viewers vote for the best performer, the one with the fewest votes is eliminated from the show. Each of the three finalists performs the last, final song on stage, after which the audience chooses the winner of the project.

Mentors and facilitators

The pop stars have been the permanent mentors of the Voice show throughout all the seasons. According to the creators of the project, before settling on the first coaching staff, they reviewed all the candidates existing on the show business market. According to them, the selected coaching staff is considered ideal, since all members of the jury are considered authorities and have a varied relationship to music in general.

Winners

Following the results of 7 seasons of "Voice", the Russian stage was replenished with seven vocalists who proved their talent on the stage of the project throughout the country. The winner of the 1st season of "Voices", the final of which took place on December 29, 2012, was the ward of Alexander Gradsky.

The winner of the 2nd season of the show "The Voice" was, who was also led to victory by mentor Alexander Gradsky. The vocalist won the title of "Best Voice of the Country" on December 27, 2013, defeating rivals and in the final. The season was distinguished by the professionalism of the participants, who showed their skills already at the stage of “Blind auditions”.

Nargiz Zakirova - "The Woman Who Sings"

The best numbers of the season's episodes were the performances with the group's hit “Still Loving You”, with the track “Wicked Game”, with the song “Georgia on my mind”, with the song “Feeling good”, with the song “Run to you”.

Nargiz Zakirova, Sergey Volchkov (winner of the 2nd season of the show "The Voice"), Elena Maksimova, Gela Guralia, Tina Kuznetsova and Sharip Umkhanov

And in the third season of the "Voice" show, Gradsky's ward became the winner, having received the main prize of the competition on December 26, 2014, she sang the solo song "The Phantom of the Opera". Her performance on "Blind Auditions" with the track "Chandelier", as well as her performance with the song "Chopin" received the highest marks from the jury.

Season 4 surprised the fans of the show a lot. Its participant was (Vitaly Mochalov), who got into the team of Grigory Leps and became the winner. The second was the performer from the team of Alexander Gradsky, who now works at the maestro's theater, the third place was taken by Polina Gagarina's ward.

Winner of the 4th season of the show "The Voice" Hieromonk Fotiy (Vitaly Mochalov)

The Voice TV show is not only a place where musicians reveal their talents. The singer, participating in the 5th season of the program, in addition to demonstrating vocal skills, set the goal of finding his own father. Together with the contestant, Vladi sang the song "Let's Pray for Parents" from the repertoire, which impressed both the audience and the jury. But the musicians never became the finalists of the show.

In the 6th season, which took place in 2017, the prizes were distributed between (1st place), (2nd place) and (3rd place).

The show "Voice-7" started in October 2018 and was named "Reboot". Already in the first issues, the future favorites of the show were determined. The mentors of the entire jury turned to Daria Shigina, the winner of the "Children's New Wave" 2013 and the winner of the 2nd place of the "Junior Eurovision" of the same year. A real war for talent unfolded between the judges. The participants never ceased to amaze coaches and spectators with the richness of timbres and musical taste.

Rushana Valieva - "I will jump from a cliff"

The winners of the “Knockout” stage, in addition to the above-mentioned artists, were Uku Suviste, Andrey Polyakov,. The quarterfinals were overcome with the best results by the member of Basta's team Shaen Oganesyan, Amirkhan Umaev, the ward of Ani Lorak, Petr Zakharov from the team of Konstantin Meladze and the favorite of the public and Sergey Shnurov - Rushan Valiev.

The winner of the last season was the ward of Meladze - Petr Zakharov.ch

Petr Zakharov - "Two Guitars"

The project does not always evoke positive emotions from the public or representatives of Russian show business. Almost every show finale is accompanied by angry comments from the fans of one or another participant who failed to get into the top four or become the winner of the TV show. In this case, various versions are put forward - from a fabricated vote to disadvantageously chosen songs for the retired project participants.

The jury of the show “Voice. Reboot "in October 2018

In November 2018, the singer-songwriter spoke negatively about The Voice. The singer criticized the jury, calling Vakulenko "a weak vocalist." According to Loza, the rapper's popularity is only due to regular broadcasts in the prime-time of the country's central channels. The musician also expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that foreign projects that have already lost their ratings in the West are being bought on Russian television.

Children's version

TV project “Voice. Children ”is a children's version of a vocal competition for adults, which has become one of the most popular projects on Russian television. The first season “The Voice. Children ”started in 2014, then the whole world saw the vocal talents of the younger generation of Russia. The creation of a children's version of the show "The Voice" helps young performers to declare themselves in childhood and gives them a chance to fulfill their dreams - to become a Russian pop star. From the very first episodes of the TV show hit the top of the Top-10 rating of the most popular programs.

The composition of the mentors changed periodically. If in the first two seasons the jury was attended by the invariable trio, which included Dima Bilan, Pelageya and Maxim Fadeev, then in the third season the producer was replaced by Leonid Agutin, and in the fourth Dima Bilan was joined by the singer and Valery Meladze. In the 5th season, a new troika was presented - Meladze, Pelageya and Basta.

Winner of the 1st season of the show “Voice. Children "Alisa Kozhikina

In the 2nd season of the show “Voice. Children ”team member Max Fadeeva won again -. During the speeches of the participants, there were many discoveries. Thus, the performance of the hit “This Song is Simple” by Ksenia Brakunova at “Blind Auditions” shocked the jury - no one believed that the girl was only 12 years old. Maxim Fadeev, whom the contestant chose as her mentor, immediately offered Xenia to sign a contract.

In the 3rd season, the final fight was played out between, and, where the only young man in the top three got the 1st place. Danil amazed viewers with his singing talent and courage with which he overcomes a congenital ailment. During the "Blind Auditions" the audience greeted Pluzhnikov standing, and Dima Bilan, at the last second, was the only one to turn to the participant.

In the 4th season, Bilan's team again excelled - his ward Elizaveta Kachurak became the winner.

"Voice 60+"

In 2018, a new version of the TV show "Voice 60+" was launched, created for singers of retirement age who were born no later than 1958. Castings took place in April, each applicant had to indicate in the questionnaire the musical styles, favorite performers, length of service and working conditions.

In September, the first broadcasts of the season began, the referees of which remained unknown to viewers until the last days. And again at the "Blind Auditions" the fans of the TV project met with already famous coaches - Leonid Agutin and Pelageya.

The professional quartet was supplemented by two Russian pop stars - Valery Meladze and. The artists were in anticipation of a grand event that promised to meet with bright vocalists working in different musical genres.

"Blind auditions" gave the opportunity to prove themselves to professional musicians and amateurs, among whom were Oleg Pastukhov, Viktor Zuev, Gennady Kim and others. Not without surprises: the mentor's father, Nikolai Agutin, became a participant in the project. Leonid could not help but recognize the voice of a loved one, so he turned to him.

Nikolay Arutyunov - "Can't Find a Reason"

By the end of the season, the finalists of the project were determined - from the "Blues League" (Leonid Agutin), jazz legend Sergei Manukyan (Valery Meladze), nugget Yevgeny Strugalsky (Lev Leshchenko) and folk singer (Pelageya), who became the winner of the TV show. Under the terms of the competition, Lydia Mikhailovna received a prize - 1 million rubles.

After the end of the season, the best performers of "Voices 60+" became guests of the program "Tonight", where they once again delighted the audience with their favorite pieces. And the participant of the project Natalia Butusova visited the "Fashionable Sentence", where she sang the musical composition "To whom? What for?".

Television viewers are outraged at the ambiguous choice of four members of the jury for the "Voice" project. They were Vasily Vakulenko, Polina Gagarina, Grigory Leps and Alexander Gradsky.

The names of the new members of the jury of the most popular show "The Voice" were announced last week. The broadcast started on the 4th of September on "First".

The above characters are not suitable for everyone. "I want to vote for mentors so that we can choose them ourselves!" - writes Nina Turko on the site of the show "Voice". She believes that it is impossible to choose members of the jury "by typing", since the project is a national one. “The current team of mentors will never reach heights,” Olga is sure.

Some viewers sympathize with one particular member of the jury, but rarely - all at once. “Gagarina doesn't look at all. In my opinion, only the outfits came to show her figure,” writes, for example, Irina Vanuito.

The show "The Voice" 2015 (adult participants), despite the ambiguous attitude of viewers to the new composition of mentors, is of great interest. One of the most popular queries on the Internet was the following: "Show" Voice 2015 ", watch online".

The first episode of The Voice 2015 was on September 4 and, as expected, caused a wide public response. Many are actively comparing today's project with previous ones. However, one issue alone can hardly make any conclusions.
