Diana Ankudinova, one of the participants in the “Children's New Wave” music competition that started yesterday in Crimea, received increased attention from the jury and the press. Just last week, a 14-year-old girl with powerful, distinctive vocals and command of rare technology singing "Yodl", won the NTV show "You are Super!", after which Igor Krutoy gave her an apartment in Moscow as a gift. In conversation with SUPER in concert hall in the legendary "Artek", Diana admitted that she had not yet seen her new home in person, but was incredibly happy that she would now be able to transport her adoptive mother, Irina, from Togliatti to Moscow. Alas, the girl’s real mother abandoned her in early childhood - it is known that the woman bullied and beat little Diana.

“I know that she is trying to get in touch with me, but I don’t care, I don’t have and never had a desire to communicate with her,” Diana said firmly.

The girl also spoke about her dream - to get to Eurovision.
“I dream of representing our country there,” Ankudinova shared her thoughts, “I heard Yulia Samoilova sing this year, and of course, it was not brilliant... She was probably very worried. I myself Russian music I don’t listen, I prefer to learn from foreign vocalists.
Diana admitted that now she is completely immersed in vocal lessons, studies and she has absolutely no time for her “personal life.”
“I don’t have a boyfriend yet,” Diana answered the question about her sympathies for the opposite sex.

When the casting for “You’re Super!” was announced. in Abkhazia, my music teacher suggested that I take part in it. That’s how I found out about a new project on NTV.

Could you have imagined that you would win? At what stage of the project did you begin to realize that you had a chance to become the first?

Before last moment I didn’t think about winning, because I enjoyed being on the project. It was a new experience for me and meeting incredible people.

Which of the jury members or participants were you most impressed by your acquaintance (communication) with? From whom did you receive valuable advice? Who are you talking to now?

I was greatly impressed by my acquaintance with Viktor Drobysh himself. This is a man of incredible energy. His advice was invaluable on the project. And the most valuable advice: do not betray yourself and your desires. We still communicate to this day, call each other, sometimes I meet at concert venues with Stas Piekha. He is an amazing and very warm person. These chance encounters are the most unforgettable.

Speech by the winner of the “You are Super” competition Valeria Adleiba

Was your goal initially to participate or were you determined to win? Do you think that when taking part in such competitions, you need to be sure that you are the best, or, rather, the main thing is participation?

Initially, my goal was to adequately present at big stage your Republic. You need to be sure that you enjoy what is happening and understand that you can bring something new and bright into your life.

How tough was the competition on the project? Which of the participants did you become friends with? How has your life changed after “You’re Super!”? Do you keep in touch with any of the jury members?

There was no competition at all on the project, since we were one big family. We worried about each participant and rejoiced together at the victories. After the project my life changed dramatically better side. I gained experience, confidence on the big stage and clearly realized my calling in life.

Have there been any offers from producers?

We are not considering any kind of proposals yet, as we are growing professionally and learning. We believe that education comes first. And, of course, I want to be a child a little more and fool around with my friends.

By the way, how did you start singing in the first place? And why did you decide that singing is for you? Did you insist on development in this regard, or, for example, did your parents suggest it?

As a child, I always tried to sing everywhere and always. My parents always encouraged my love for music. I did a lot of experiments, and once again, when I sang the singer Adele’s song “Rolling in the deep,” my mother and I realized that this was the beginning... (smiles).

Lera, how important do you think the support of relatives is in developing the talents of children and adolescents?

In my opinion, this is very important, since the support of family and loved ones makes it possible to develop and truly create and be useful in this profession. My whole family supports me, and this makes me very happy, because at an early stage I was able, with the help of my family, to understand what my calling was.

How do your friends feel about your passion for music?

Very good. The best thing about this is that my friends and classmates attend my performances with great pleasure. This is the best assessment of what I do.

Do you have a lot of friends? In general, do you think a person can have a large number of of real friends?

I have heard repeatedly that you can’t have too many friends. But I believe that if there are a lot of smiles, a lot of kindness and a lot of love, then there can also be a lot of good friends. I really like to spend free time with my friends, of which, fortunately, I have many.

Lera happily gave an interview for our portal and told how she learned about the project “You are Super!”, the artists who inspire her, competition and support on the show.

Perhaps you have encountered unpleasant moments such as envy or criticism? How do you react to them?

I perceive professional criticism positively, since this is the only way to see and analyze my mistakes and shortcomings from the outside. And I regret envy, since this is the easiest path for a lazy person.

How often do you study music: is it lessons with a teacher or do you go to a music school?

I devote my free time from school to music school and individual lessons with a teacher.

Are you determined to continue to follow musical path, or perhaps you want to learn another profession?

Of course, I would like to follow this musical path. But I know for sure that, as in any business, I will need to do a tremendous amount of work, since I am just starting this path.

Have you watched the second season of “You’re Super!”? Nostalgia arose, who were you rooting for?

Of course, I watched and cheered for all the participants.

What other competitions do you want to take part in?

It's difficult to answer this question. On this moment There are no assumptions about this. Since I’m still resting and learning new knowledge.

Which representatives of the post-Soviet or foreign stage particularly inspire you?

In my work I am inspired by Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Lara Fabian. But Whitney Houston has a special place in my heart. This is the standard of female vocals and a real singer for me.

Have any plans for the summer? How do you like to relax?

Because my republic is famous beautiful beaches and incredible beauty of nature, I plan to spend time with friends at sea.

Do you prefer a calm or extreme vacation?

I always relax extremely and now this desire is only intensifying. I love active rest, it really tones me up.

Is it difficult to combine regular studies and music training?

Studying is always big job, effort and work. But I like all this. I enjoy it, so I try to just enjoy it and combine it with pleasure.

You play on musical instruments or do you want to learn?

Not yet. But I plan to master guitar and piano.

Do people recognize you on the street? How do you react?

Everyone in my homeland knows (laughs). At first I reacted to this with fear and uncertainty. This was completely unusual for me. But now I understand that this is part of my profession, and I can’t live without it.

In your opinion, how can you avoid becoming a star, and why does this happen?

When you clearly answer these questions for yourself, then there are no more problems, and you calmly move towards your goals. I think this is happening out of stupidity. After all, fame and success can really turn your head. Fortunately, on my way I have met, and continue to meet, people who clarify many points and controversial situations. Therefore, I am happy that I was spared this.

What would you like to wish to the readers of our portal?

I sincerely wish you to seek and find inspiration, never give up, and believe in miracles. I was convinced by personal example that they tend to come true.

After a fire in which the house burned down and her grandfather died, her parents were forced to send six-year-old Valeria and her brother to a boarding school. The girl did not study vocals, although she loved to sing since childhood.

Valeria dreams of performing at Eurovision.

For five months, the whole country closely followed the fate of 82 participants in the international vocal competition “You’re Super!” During this time, more than 30 show business stars came to the show site, many of the participants met their family and friends for the first time, for example, Vladimir Skripal met his dad, Dauletkhan Akanova’s mother was restored to her rights, and Roma Druzhinin found his relatives. The guys studied with the best vocal teachers and learned from pop stars.

This project is already an incredibly cool start, and when Igor Krutoy himself helps with this, there can be no doubt. The participants only have new horizons ahead.

Many viewers are interested in: who won the show “You’re Super!” 2018? Who took 2nd and 3rd place, and who received the People's Choice Award?

So, Diana Ankudinova took first place. Results: 49% and more than 50,000,000 million views of performances on YouTube.

Diana Ankudinova: “I would like to say a huge thank you to all the people who organized such a holiday in my life. Of course, many thanks to the viewers who voted. Thank you for this support, I will try to move forward and I hope my friends and I will see each other again.”

Igor Krutoy made a gift for Diana - an apartment in Moscow. Of course this is a great gift.

It also became known that Diana will represent Russia at the “Children’s New Wave”.

Igor Yakovlevich invited Diana Ankudinova to the semi-final of the international “Children’s New Wave”. Diana was of course very worried, there were almost hundreds of participants and the level was very high. The first day of listening took place in the morning and Diana’s voice, according to her, was still asleep. She performed the song “The Last Dance” in front of the jury. The voice woke up, it’s obvious, the jury talked about something for a long time, then announced that Diana was allowed into the next round. The next day, the same qualifying round, Diana sang in Russian, the almost forgotten song of Alla Pugacheva “Rechenka”. And here is Diana in the Junior Eurovision final new wave. In the near future, Diana will go to Crimea, to the Artek camp, where the “Children’s New Wave” will take place.

Igor Krutoy:“What she did in French was wonderful. She needs to find the same position in Russian so that she can also excite the audience. She is a truly talented girl and of course I want her to be in the public eye in the foreseeable future.”

Well, let's look forward to Diana's new victories!

Also, of course, the audience is interested in who took second and third place. Vera Yaroshik took second place, and Yuliana Karaulova and Roman Druzhinin took third place.

Igor Krutoy also named the performer who was invited to the semi-finals “ Junior Eurovision" This competition will take place on June 3 at Artek. The name of this performer is Alexandra Kirelchuk.

General producer of the television company Timur Weinstein: “It was an amazing finale. You know, we are so used to the fact that television shows music competitions. After them, the spotlights go out, the final credits roll, everyone disperses and then, in principle, they forget about what the participants in the show do and how they live. So, this is not about “You are super!”, because the idea of ​​this competition was precisely that this was not just a television program. It's so much more than that, it really is a family. We sincerely try, to the best of our ability, to help our children and after completing their participation in television show. We also created charitable foundation, for our members.

Immediately after the final, Diana left for the Children's New Wave 2018 competition, where she constantly disappears at rehearsals. But Diana found time especially for StarHit and gave her first interview.

Diana, congratulations on your victory! And, of course, I would like to ask about your first emotions. How did you feel when you heard your last name?

It is difficult to describe in words the whole range of emotions and convey the feelings that covered me. Delight and joy. Now I don’t even remember well what happened there. Especially when Igor Yakovlevich said that in honor of the victory he was giving me an apartment in Moscow and would provide training. For a second I thought: “Am I dreaming?!” I urgently need to pinch myself to wake up...” In general, there were so many prizes and gifts... It's incredibly nice! I am happy that I took part in the project.

Tell us about the composition you performed.

I was supposed to be accompanied by Igor Krutoy, so I decided to choose his song Tomorrow Is A Lie from Lara Fabian’s repertoire. The composition, although not very popular, is incredibly beautiful and, I would say, heartbreaking. You know, it felt like it was made especially for me. True, it was not very easy to perform, there is a difficult note that I was afraid not to hit. But everything went great.

Overall, were you very nervous the night before the final?

I was certainly worried about how I would perform, but I didn’t get nervous. Well, this condition is considered normal for any person. If this is absent, then you are just a robot. I was more worried when thoughts flashed through my head that I would have to part with the people who appeared in my life during the project. That's when it started to get a little overwhelming.

What was the most difficult thing for you on the project?

The hardest part was at the beginning, when I first arrived. I thought what the children who live in orphanages would be like, how we would get along, whether we would find mutual language. There are different ones... But at the first meeting it became clear: they are exactly the same as me, no different. The questions disappeared. In the end, everything worked out great.

Have you discovered any new qualities in yourself that you were not aware of before?

Yes! I didn’t even suspect that I could be so open and sociable! Also, I became much more diligent. Still, being 24 hours a day on a huge common territory from the beginning completely strangers, you smoothly rebuild, stop being afraid, fearing others.

WITH creative plans have you decided?

They are completely ordinary for me, like all artists - to go to various competitions, perform at concerts. I love all this running around! I like meeting new people, experiencing new emotions that I have never experienced before. And, of course, I will continue to study.

Are you really not tired of the tension?

Absolutely not! I'm full of energy. I still have my strength, I don’t even need to restore anything. Ordinary sleep is quite enough. It’s just that when I sing, they come from somewhere.

So you can be called a “motor”?

I realized that in life you need to strive for something and sincerely want it. Then time flies by, you enjoy your actions, especially when you see the result. For example, after the final I went to Crimea, to Artek, and will represent Russia in International competition young performers "Children's New Wave-2018". I have always dreamed of such an opportunity! And here I am...

BY THE WAY

Despite the blows of fate, Diana remained kind and cheerful. At the age of four she was sent to Orphanage. The girl cried constantly - she couldn’t help herself. By chance, at the moment when Diana was brought in, all the wards were going on vacation to a regional boarding house, where she met her guardian. “Mom worked there as a massage therapist,” the child shares with StarHit. “When I was lying on her table, continuing to choke on tears, my mother’s own daughter came in. “Why does she cry all the time,” Nastya asked. “Let’s take it for ourselves, fill out the paperwork and live happily.” Which took me by surprise. “If you refuse, then I will adopt myself when I grow up.” She was only 16 then. There were some difficulties with the documents, but we passed all the tests!”

RESULTS OF THE SHOW

Diana Ankudinova received almost 49% of the audience votes, taking first place. The second place went to 16-year-old Vera Yaroshik (9%) from Belarus. The top three finalists are completed by 17-year-old Roman Druzhinin (7%) from the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

The People's Choice Award was won by Zenovia Sverchkova, for whom more than four million people voted on the NTV website.
