Already on September 3 at 20:20 on the NTV channel, the premiere of the super season of the international vocal competition «You are super!». It will be attended by 50 talented children aged 7 to 18 left without parental care and living in orphanages, boarding schools, foster and guardian families.
The geography of the project covers more than 20 regions of Russia, as well as Belarus, Kazakhstan and Moldova.
The participants will be evaluated, mentored and supported by the star jury of the project: actor, director and musician Alexei Vorobyov, singers Ani Lorak and Lyusya Chebotina, who will take the chairs of the star judges of the project for the first time, as well as singer Alexander Panayotov, who has already appeared on the show as a star guest — the artist came in the fourth season to support Kolya Derbenev from the Chelyabinsk region, and in the seventh season he will try on the role of a jury member, replacing the composer, People's Artist of Russia Igor Krutoy, who will join the jury at the next stage.
Igor Krutoy is a permanent member of the jury «You are super!», Starting from the second season of the project. Both the audience and the participants of the competition remembered him not only for his strict decisions, but also for his good deeds — in each season, the maestro helped the guys take steps on the big stage.
Igor Krutoy:
«Almost all the participants of the past seasons left a mark on my heart. Hundreds of talented young artists from the six seasons of our show have gained invaluable experience, received the love and recognition of millions of viewers. In the new season, I would be glad to see and listen to Denberel Oorzhak, Ivan Maslennikov, Nastya Nagornova and other gifted children. Real creativity and bright talent always arouse admiration and surprise in me. And when a child possesses these qualities, even more so. And if a real artist grows out of these boys and girls, then my joy has no limits. For everything over the years, the project «You are super!» has gained a huge audience of fans. Children have received the admiration of the audience, popularity, they are invited to television, concerts, many of their most secret dreams come true. And it seems to me that this step towards a child's dream is the way to to which the project «You are super!» must go forward with its head held high.»
Alexey Vorobyov is also an old-timer of the project — he has been a judge since the third season, which, like the upcoming seventh, has become a super season. Vorobyov not only supports young performers during the competition, but also after. For example, in the fifth season, he wrote symphonic music for a song whose words were written by Irina Dubtsova, and directed a video by Tatyana Mavrodi from the Kaluga region. And this summer, he fulfilled the dream of Dmitry Menovshchikov, a participant in the 6th season. The guy on the project stage said he wanted to visit one of the legendary children's camps. -ratio=»0.666666666666667″ data-crop-width=»600″ data-crop-height=»400″ data-source-sid=»» class=»lazyload» lazy=»1″ />
Alexey Vorobyov:
“I feel an incredible responsibility! And, of course, it’s a great joy for me to sit back in the chair of the jury member“ You are super! ”To once again have the opportunity to meet these amazing young talents that are entering our stage. The children we seen on stage in previous years.And you have no idea what a pleasure it is to watch them grow, to see the amount of work that each of them put in, what work they put in on themselves in order to move forward and not betray their goal and dream.I'm sure this season once again I will be surprised and delighted.I am very glad that life has given me the opportunity to fulfill the dreams of children who really deserve it…I am happy to be the person that I missed so much in my childhood.A person who can not only to help, but also to direct in the right direction, both professionally and humanly».
But popular singers Ani Lorak and Lyusya Chebotina will take the chairs of star judges in «You're super!» for the first time.
Ani Lorak says that she has already been a mentor in other vocal shows, and she also has a lot of experience participating in music competitions, starting with «Morning Star».
Ani Lorak:
«I know very well what it's like to stand on stage as a contestant, and what to pay attention to when you are in the jury box. And I can share this experience. Of course, it is not easy to evaluate children, because they are already winners only because they put a lot efforts to get on this stage, which means that they want it and they have talent.Today, raising my 12-year-old daughter, I understand how important it is when a child takes the initiative.The most important task is to appreciate not a moment, but to see the potential. I think I will make allowances for age. I myself know how it happens: at a rehearsal you sing perfectly, but when you go on stage, you experience such excitement that you forget everything you knew before. First of all, I will trust my intuition «.
Unlike Ani Lorak, the young singer Lucy Chebotina has little judicial experience. As part of such a large-scale project, she will occupy the jury chair for the first time.
Lyusya Chebotina:< br />“The responsibility, of course, is colossal for me, because the fate of small talents depends on me, among other things. When I watched the previous seasons of“ You are super! ”, I was afraid to imagine how difficult it was to choose and evaluate, because each participant is unique. When children sing, I immediately remember my childhood and the first steps to the big stage… Therefore, I understand them like no one else, and I hope that on the project I will become a friend for them, who will help them find themselves, their style and move forward in the right direction «I will try to be as objective as possible. Of course, it is impossible to remain indifferent to the kids, but older kids, as a rule, are much more worried, because they already have an awareness of what is happening than the kids.»
The leaders of the project traditionally will be Vadim Takmenev and Anastasia Pak.
Anastasia Pak:
«I am extremely happy to see all the guys who have already participated in our project. Firstly, I was so surprised at how adults they have become. Secondly, they have pulled up their vocals very well. And this is good, because most of them say, that it was «You're super!» that gave them the impetus and incentive to develop in music. That is, everything that happened to them on the project became even more serious motivation for them to engage in vocals. Someone went to the teachers for the first time, someone stayed with of his teachers, but now he is more attentive to lessons, for example, to solfeggio. Now they sound fashionable, stylish, which shows how much the guys have grown professionally. This is a completely new level for them and for us.»
An important difference of the super season is that 20 new contestants and 30 participants from previous seasons will take part in it, among them, for example, Denberel Oorzhak. For the first time, the whole country recognized his name in 2019: then the unusual voice of a guy from Tyva conquered everyone, and after the performance of Nikolai Noskov's hit «Paranoia», People's Artist of Russia Igor Krutoy admitted that he had become a real Denberel fan and headed his fan club.
Ahead of the start of the season, Denberel shared his expectations.
«I really missed «You are super!» and therefore gladly accepted the invitation to take part in the super season. I want to meet again with the people I worked with, go up on stage and feel the cool atmosphere of the project. My life has changed a lot after «You are super!» «, I am grateful to its creators for everything! The project gave great confidence for further work, there was a great desire to further develop and learn new things. I have no doubt that the super season will go off with a bang! Well, I dream of singing with Igor Yakovlevich Krutoy! May your dreams come true!».
Ivan Maslennikov from the Tambov region will also perform in the super season. For the first time he became a member of «You're super!» in 2019 and returned a year later, in both seasons the guy reached the final. In one of the qualifying rounds of the fourth season, Vanya performed Sergey Lazarev's hit «Surrender», and in the semi-final the artist came to support the young talent, saying that he really liked the way Vanya sang it: together with the Tambov resident, they sang this song again.
Ivan Maslennikov:
«After the project» You are super! «my life has changed very much, countless new acquaintances, recognition have appeared. Many people, each in their own way, helped me and thanks to this I am now the way I am. My creative life began precisely on the project. I missed «You're super!»: the hosts, the jury, the guys, and therefore immediately agreed to take part in the project again. project history».
In addition, Anastasia Nagornova decided to take part in the project again. She has been studying music since the age of six, is fond of choreography, acting, plays the piano, trumpet and domra. Anastasia is the winner of the sixth season of the show. According to its results, composer Igor Krutoy invited her to the semi-finals of the adult New Wave.
