"Sweet People"- this song is an appeal to people with a call to protect our planet. From other pop ballads about love, the song is distinguished by a more emotional and meaningful content. “I am convinced that the fact that the song was created in record time did not affect its quality in any way.

Alyosha (Alyosha) - Ukrainian singer. The real name of the singer is Alena Kucher. Alyosha won the national selection and will represent Ukraine at the international song contest Eurovision 2010 in Oslo.

Alena Kucher was born on May 14, 1986 in the city of Zaporozhye. During her school years, she sang in the choir and studied at the youth music studio. After school, Alena graduated from the faculty of pop vocals at the Kiev National University of Culture and Arts.

In 2006, Alena won the international competition "Yalta-2006". Two years later, the singer won the first prize at the International Festival "Songs of the Sea" (2008) in Sevastopol. In 2009, she signed a contract with the production center "Catapult music", where she got her stage name.

The singer conquered Ukrainian listeners with the song "Snow". In December 2009, a video clip was filmed for "Sneg".

Alena herself writes the words and music for her songs. For example, she wrote the music for the song "To be free". She is also the author of some songs by Nastya Kamensky, Natalya Mogilevskaya, the duet of Potap and Nastya Kamensky.

On March 21, 2010, a scandal erupted, the reason for which was information that Alyosha's entry was a plagiarism. The song "To Be Free", according to the official legend, was written back in 1977 in the USA and all this time was waiting for its performer. For Eurovision, the time of writing the song is not significant. According to the rules of the competition, it is only important that the song is not performed publicly six months before the competition (ie until October 1, 2009). However, since April 12, 2008, the song has been available for download on the German Amazon (under the name Alonya). In addition, the first chords of the singer's song are slightly similar to the song by American rock singer Linda Perry "Knock Me Out", which in 1996 became the soundtrack of the film "The Crow 2: City of Angels".

On March 22, 2010, it became known that the song "To Be Free" did not comply with the rules of the European Broadcasting Union. The song was withdrawn from the competition, and on March 25 Alyosha presented a new song with which she will go to the competition: "Sweet People".

"Sweet People" is a song appealing to people to protect our planet.

She was predicted to be a huge success for a long time, and today this starry beauty simply began to justify the advances given to her. Today Alyosha is at the pinnacle of success. Therefore, in the framework of our today's article, we decided to talk about it. What was her path to the current heights? And what interesting facts does her biography hide? Read on for more on this and much more.

Early years, childhood and the family of Elena Kucher

It is worth noting that the girl began to earn her own bread from a very early age. Elena's father was a fisherman, and therefore for a long time the family of the future singer had its own point in the market. It was there that Alyosha began her career. All day long she was engaged in the sale of fish, and in the evenings she also managed to keep up with the rehearsal of the school choir, in which she sang from an early age.

In addition, at some point, our today's heroine also began to study music at the Yunost music studio, where her mentor was the famous teacher Vladimir Artemyev. It was during these years that an irrepressible craving for art appeared in the soul of the young singer. Elena Kucher could not imagine her life without music, and therefore, immediately after graduation, the young artist went to Kyiv, where she began to study at the pop vocal department of the Kiev National University of Culture and Arts.

New song of the singer ALyosha (Alyosha) - Sweet People - Eurovision 2010

In 2009, her debut single "Snow" sounded on all channels of Ukrainian radio, which brought the singer her first popularity. In December of the same year, a video was filmed for this song, which was subsequently ratified by Ukrainian music TV channels for a long time.

Singer Alena at Eurovision

The year 2010 became a landmark and defining in the career of the singer. During this period, our today's heroine was among the participants in the national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. On this project, Alyosha presented the previously written song "To be free", which ultimately brought her victory.

However, at that moment, a serious scandal erupted around the singer's competitive composition. The thing is that at the competitive selection the girl scored the same number of points with another artist - Masha Sobko. Thus, Alyosha received the coveted ticket only in accordance with the additional decision of the judges.

ALyosha - (Singer Alyosha) - Snow

But that was only the beginning. Immediately after the announcement of the winner, accusations of plagiarism rained down on the artist. As it turned out, the first chords of the song almost completely coincided with the melody of the song "Knock Me Out" by Linda Perry. In addition, the composition itself has been available for download on the Amazone website for about a year. These facts served as the basis for the removal of the competitive composition. For a long time, rumors were discussed in the Ukrainian press that Masha Sobko would become the representative of Ukraine at the contest in Oslo, but in the end, the panel of judges nevertheless handed Alyosha the coveted ticket to Eurovision.

At the competition, the girl presented a new composition "Sweet People", written in collaboration with the famous Kyiv producer Boris Kukoba. The song was recorded in just a few weeks, and therefore the preparation for the performance took place in an emergency. However, despite all the difficulties, Alyosha still made it to the final, where she subsequently scored 108 points, which in turn ensured the singer's tenth place in the competition. The Ukrainian singer received the highest scores (10 each) from Belarus and Azerbaijan.

Singer Alyosha today

In recent years, the singer Alyosha has been actively touring the cities of Ukraine. She performed at the bottom of the city in Zaporozhye, and also became a participant in a big concert in honor of the liberation of the Vasilyevsky district of Kyiv from the Nazi invaders. In addition, in 2013, Alyosha presented to the public a new video "You are my everything." It is not yet known when the singer's new album will appear.

Alyosha's personal life

In the summer of 2013, the popular Ukrainian performer married another Ukrainian singer Taras Topolya. Shortly before this, in April 2013, the couple had a son, Roman.

Popularity came to her when the young singer Alyosha passed the selection and then performed at Eurovision from Ukraine in 2010.

But this is not at all the beginning of the life of the blond Alena, and certainly not her whole life. Yes, the producer came up with a strange boy pseudonym Alyosha for her, but its roots stretch from the girl’s very childhood.

Music is a small life

Alena, and this is the real name of the singer, was born in Zaporozhye and in the family, besides her, two more boys were growing up. The girl, who was born in the family of a policeman and an aircraft factory worker, after two boys, was a favorite in the family. Dad, a music lover at heart, taught his daughter to music from early childhood, classical melodies constantly sounded in the house, although modern trends were not alien. Alena sang along with pleasure to Madonna, Michael Jackson and this one she liked unspeakably. When the baby grew up, the older brothers began to take her with them to their boyish companies, where they called her Leshka or shortened her name to a short Le.

During her school years, Alena continued to sing, participated in all school music competitions and concerts, 5-grader Alena Kucher enrolled in the school choir, and at the age of 15 she went to the music studio of popular music "Youth", where the head of the studio Vladimir Artemyev drew attention to her. It turned out that the nimble and cheerful Alena has a voice of four octaves, and this is a rather rare and valuable phenomenon. It was there, in the Zaporozhye studio "Yunost" that the schoolgirl and aspiring singer, who already knew what she wanted to do in life, met her first producer Vadim Lisitsa.

Friendship is more than love

Alyosha was only 16 years old when, without exaggeration, a fateful acquaintance took place. Vadim Lisitsa, an adult accomplished man, 11 years older than Alena, appreciated the girl's voice and artistry and offered her help, which, of course, she could not refuse. Lisitsa actually became the sound producer of the young singer, when she graduated from school, they moved to Kyiv together. Alena entered the Kiev National University of Culture and Arts at the faculty of pop vocals, at the same time they open a recording studio, and Nastya Kamensky was one of the first to record in it.

For about two years, Alyosha and Vadim Lisitsa tried to remain just friends and colleagues, but they did not succeed, as expected. The relationship lasted almost 8 years, and no one was embarrassed by either the age difference or the fact that the Fox had a wife and a child.

The talented Alena wrote songs, performed at concerts, worked in a recording studio, but she was getting older, the girl was no longer satisfied with such relationships, she wanted a family, children:

I just got older and wanted to progress in our personal relationship. He was absent. The issue of Vadik's official family status was never resolved. And I, like any woman, already wanted to have a family, children and everything that comes with it. After 5 years of marriage, I just realized that my feelings have already become different, I can't wait forever. And I told him about it.

So Alyosha spoke frankly in an interview, talking about the reasons for breaking up with Vadim Lisitsa. They both still speak only well of each other, the separation was painful, but they managed to maintain friendly and professional relations. Vadim Lisitsa and to this day the producer of the singer Alyosha

most expensive person

By the time Alyosha finally put an end to the “i” in her relationship with Lisitsa, she had already met with the young musician Taras Topol, not yet realizing that this was her destiny.

In general, despite the publicity and increased interest in her personal life, Alyosha prefers to talk a little and not often about what is happening outside of work. Like her husband, Taras Topolya, frontman of the Ukrainian group Antitelya. Relations between young people developed so harmoniously and touchingly that both preferred to keep them a secret - for several years even the ubiquitous journalists did not know about this novel. The guys started talking about the wedding only when Alena saw the cherished two strips on a pregnancy test, at the same time they publicly admitted that they would soon become parents.
