Channel One and the social network Odnoklassniki conducted a survey to find out which artists to invite to the New Year's "blue light". The voting leaders were Grigory Leps, Ani Lorak and the finalist of the "Voice" Nargiz. Producer Iosif Prigozhin believes that the opinion of the audience will help the channel in compiling the schedule for the New Year's broadcast, and artist Yuri Loza believes that the artists for voting were selected biased.

From October 11 to October 30, users of the Odnoklassniki social network could vote in the Your Stars on Channel One application and select artists who will take part in the Blue Light on Channel One. The voting list included 60 of the most popular artists in Odnoklassniki, each user could choose three of them. In a separate field, you could add your artist, thus the list was replenished with ten more names.

According to the voting results, the top three included Grigory Leps, Ani Lorak and the finalist of the Voice show Nargiz Zakirova. Also in the top ten were Polina Gagarina, Ukrainian artists Alekseev, Svetlana Loboda and the pop group Artik & Asti, the Leningrad and Hands Up groups. Closes the top 10 prima donna Alla Pugacheva.

Sergey Zhukov from the Hands Up group told 360 that he was very happy that he was in the top ten voting leaders in Odnoklassniki.

If the people have chosen, the people are probably not mistaken

The artist said that next week he has a new video coming out and the preparations for the New Year are in full swing.

The opportunity for viewers to choose artists for the New Year's show on Channel One last year was demanded in an online petition that collected 174,000 signatures. "Blue Light" in 2017 drew heavy criticism due to the fact that the same faces are shown on the screen every year.

It was decided to vote for the participants of the "blue light" in Odnoklassniki, because this social network is used by older people who are oriented to the New Year's broadcast of Channel One, said General Producer Konstantin Ernst.

We understand that the system viewers of New Year's shows are people 45+. People 45+ have their own addictions and those people whom they consider their New Year's Eve heroes

Konstantin Ernst.

He believes that young people do not watch New Year's programs, not because it sucks, but because they celebrate the holiday in a different way - and there is no point in doing a radical youth show for Channel One. According to the data in official community Channel One in Odnoklassniki, 1.3 million people registered in the voting application.

Voting on the Internet may have a slight error, but in general, the audiences of Channel One and Odnoklassniki overlap, says producer Iosif Prigogine. He was not surprised that the rating of artists was headed by Grigory Leps.

It certainly remains relevant. Why shouldn't it be relevant? Some songs that are created by [him] are masterpieces

Joseph Prigogine.

Prigozhin recalled last year's scandal, when Channel One was accused of showing the same artists on screens on New Year's Eve year after year. Such dissatisfaction is understandable, but it is important for the channel to get a rating, the producer explains. Voting in Odnoklassniki will enable Channel One to find out who to invite to the "blue light".

I don't think they will stick to the list exactly. But the fact remains - people want to look for some other forms so that there are no reproaches in the next New Year

Joseph Prigogine.

The publications of Channel One do not indicate how many artists from the list will participate in the New Year's program. It also does not say about the possibility of the channel to invite other artists.

Half of our people watch only the First Channel, respectively, they know those who are shown by the First Channel. Therefore, all these ratings are formed by television itself.

Yuri Loza.

People can't find out about the existence of other artists because they don't show on TV, says Loza. Yuri himself would gladly perform at the "blue light". “I have had a New Year's song for 13 years, which does not fall into any of the New Year's broadcasts,” the artist complains.

We do not have such platforms where it would be possible to show what you came up with, composed or made. Nowhere you can see how many New Year's songs have been written. We don’t know, maybe there are a hundred of them walking around Russia now, but no one hears them, because they will never let them break through to the same Channel One

Yuri Loza.

One of the main anti-heroes of last year's petition, which, according to the results of voting in Odnoklassniki, entered the top ten. Then the singer herself told her fans that she did not need to be protected from spiteful critics, and producer Iosif Prigogine advised not to pay attention to "sofa critics."

For the first time in the history of television, Channel One decided on a unique experiment: the Odnoklassniki social network hosted a popular vote for singers who would headline the New Year's broadcast of the country's main TV channel. Initially, Konstantin Ernst suggested choosing artists for the New Year's concert based on the results of voting by OK users. This was announced by the General Director of Channel One in January of this year on the air of the online show “OK in touch!”. Anyone could make a choice.

The shortlist of performers was compiled based on the popularity rating of performers in Odnoklassniki. The top 60 includes singers and groups whose tracks are most often listened to by OK users. Among the artists there are both regular participants in New Year's television broadcasts, for example, Polina Gagarina, Irina Dubtsova and Ani Lorak, as well as newcomers - “ Mushrooms», « Time is up», Jah Khalib and Mot, IOWA, etc.

Today, 20 days after the launch of the voting, it became known which of the stars will perform at the First on New Year's Eve. The list was headed by Grigory Leps, who scored 60,343 votes. Ani Lorak came in second with 42,345 votes. Closes the top three Nargiz Zakirova - 38,778 votes. Also in the top ten were Alla Pugacheva, the Leningrad group, Svetlana Loboda and others. The most discussed celebrity of recent months - Olga Buzova - is located only in 33rd place. However, Philip Kirkorov, Sofia Rotaru and Stas Mikhailov also did not enter the top twenty.

It is worth noting that participation in the filming of Nargiz Zakirova is a big question. The fact is that after the announcement of the popular vote, the producer of the singer, Maxim Fadeev, came down with harsh criticism on the leadership of Channel One. According to Fadeev, his music is banned on this channel by the personal decision of the general director Konstantin Ernst. The composer noted that getting into the list of his artists - Nargiz Zakirova and the Serebro group - is nothing more than an attempt to attract attention. Therefore, the well-known producer said that neither he nor his artists would appear on the air of the country's main TV channel.

“I consider my artists to that category of people who also deserve respect, and we, of course, even if we get into the top voting, we will not participate in the filming. Because we will again be dressed up as clowns and forced to sing a duet with the leader of the Control Purchase. Already now, watching the first results of the voting, I see that Nargiz is in the top three. We respect and appreciate your attention and love for the artist. But I want to ask each of you to support us and not vote, so as not to expose your favorite artist as a clown,” writes Maxim Fadeev.

Nargiz Zakirova

Olga Buzova was only in 33rd place

On October 30, the voting, organized by Channel One and the Odnoklassniki social network, ends to select artists who will sing on New Year's Eve on the country's main channel.
Anyone could vote for the suggested artists or add their favorite artist to this list. Voting closes today, but the places of the performers have not changed for a week.
At the first place Grigory Leps- he scored 65175 thousand votes. Ani Lorak behind by almost 20,000 votes. The places were then distributed as follows: Nargiz, Polina Gagarina, Artik&Astik, Leningrad, Alekseev, Hands Up, Svetlana Loboda. 10th place - Alla Pugacheva with 29157 votes.

The second "twenty": Burito, Valeria, Basta, Irina Allegrova, Yuri Shatunov, Elena Vaenga, Max Barskikh, Egor Creed, MiyaGi&Endgame, Dan Balan.
Discovery of the year Olga Buzova scored only 14370, securing only 33rd place. The huge army of Buzova's followers on Instagram (almost 11 million people) did not bring her victory.

The shortlist of 60 persons for voting was compiled based on the popularity of performers in the Odnoklassniki social network. Anyone could vote for three stars, and make any one name in this shortlist. The leadership of Channel One promised that the leaders of the popular vote would be invited to film the New Year's show. This promise was made at the beginning of the year on the air of the online show “OK in touch!”. Voting has been going on since October 11th.
And the theme of the "people's choice" of artists was raised in the light after a blogger from Rostov-on-Don, Vadim Manukyan, drew up a petition in early January. The people dubbed it "against New Year's TV", in social networks they began to discuss the dominance of the same persons in the lights. In an appeal to the leadership of Channel One, Manukyan asked to change the format of the New Year's show. Vadim Manukyan came up with the idea of ​​compiling a petition after he read criticism of New Year's TV broadcasts on the social networks of producer Maxim Fadeev. Vadim wrote to the producer about his idea to create a petition, and he supported him. This, as well as heated discussions on social networks, inspired the blogger to write an appeal to the leadership of Channel One. The petition was signed by more than 170 thousand people.
Interestingly, Maxim Fadeev said that his artists would not participate in the “light” of Channel One. Namely, Fadeev, producer Nargiz, who firmly holds third place in the voting. Maxim Fadeev commented on Nargiz's leadership in this voting on social networks: “We respect and appreciate your attention and love for the artist. But I want to ask each of you to support us and not vote so as not to make your favorite artist look like a clown. I worked with Channel One for too long to believe their loud statements about “new program changes” ... "
Will Maxim Fadeev change his point of view we will see on New Year's Eve.

Participants of the New Year's broadcast on Channel One will be chosen by viewers by voting on the Odnoklassniki social network. Using the Your Stars on First app, users will be able to select from a shortlist of up to three artists they want to see live on the night of December 31, 2017 to January 1, 2018.

Also available is the function to enter the name of another artist who was not in the list.

The shortlist of performers was compiled on the basis of the popularity rating of performers in Odnoklassniki, according to the Rosregistr portal. According to Dni.ru, the preliminary top 60 has already included such popular groups as Mushrooms, Time and Glass, IOWA, as well as Polina Gagarina, Ani Lorak, Irina Dubtsova, Mot and many others.

Some of the users expressed the hope to see TV presenter Olga Buzova on the stage of the New Year's light, and someone - the infamous heroine of the show "Let them talk" Diana Shurygina.

Channel One took a creative approach to preparing the New Year and, in cooperation with the Odnoklassniki social network, launched a new application, Your Stars on Channel One. This application can be found in the official Channel One group on OK. Users are offered a list of stars, potential participants in the New Year's spark.

You can choose only three performers. Well, after summing up the leaders will be invited to the First.

The experiment was originally the idea of ​​​​the channel's general director, Konstantin Ernst, which he shared at the beginning of this year, answering questions from viewers about the dominance of "the same faces" on the screens live on Odnoklassniki.

Whether viewers will see the desired stars on their screens or not is an open question.

For example, on his Instagram account, Maxim Fadeev comments on the news about the proposed vote:

“... I want to say right away about my two artists presented in this list - SEREBRO @serebro_officia and Nargiz @nargizzakirova_official. ….. of course, even if we get into the top of the voting, we will not participate in the filming. Because we will again be dressed up as clowns and forced to sing a duet with the host of the Control Purchase ... "

The public is also not sure if the idea is good.

“Spectators have been outraged by the quality of the New Year's program on Channel One for many years. It's really impossible to watch her. That's why the channel's management decided to "kill two birds with one stone" with one shot - and try to improve the quality of the content, and shift the responsibility for this quality to the viewers. At the same time, it is “correct” to refuse those performers who have already really “got everyone”, referring again to the choice of the audience.

Moreover, the choice was entrusted to those who are registered in the Odnoklassniki social network, i.e. those, in my opinion, who do not have particularly good taste (not about all “classmates”, this can, of course, be said, but still intellectually developed people with good musical and non-musical taste rarely register in Odnoklassniki, unless they register specifically just for this vote).

Moreover, you need to choose from a ready-made list, in which there are only two interesting performers, that is, there is simply no real choice as such, in my opinion, ”users write on the Web
