Scandalous state of emergency was marked by the shooting of the show "One to One", dedicated to world day children and the last school bell. According to the intention of the producers, on this day, all project participants sang a duet with children dressed up as the stars of Russian and world show business. The role of Freddie Mercury in a duet with Montserrat Caballe (in whose image Nadezhda Granovskaya got used) was entrusted to the young star of the show “Voice. Children ”- 13-year-old Lev Axelrod. On the project Channel One Leo was one of the favorites in Dima Bilan's team. Suddenly, on the eve of filming, it turned out that the boy could not come to the recording of “One to One”. The room was on the brink of collapse.
About what happened on the sidelines of the project, Super.ru was told by the producer of the White Media company, which produces the show commissioned by the Rossiya-1 TV channel, Timur Weinstein:
- On the day of the recording of the program, Lev's mother and his vocal teacher Max Davidson called and told us that they would not take part in the One to One project, as they received a threatening call from Channel One, – admitted the producer.- The mother of the child was given to understand that if the boy takes part in the show, then he will not only no longer appear on Channel One, but may even forget about his future career.
Weinstein is sure that the incident with the young singer is the revenge of offended competitors. After all, it is known that the Rossiya TV channel bought it from White Media new season the most popular show "One to One" after the demonstration of its first season on the First Button. In response to this, Channel One launched a similar show Just Like It, which, by the way, was sued by the Spanish television company Endemol, the main copyright holder original version show.
– This is not the first case with such threats against the guests and participants of our project, added producer. - But, if before it was about adults and established stars who can make decisions themselves, then in this case the threat was against a 13-year-old child! Leo rehearsed the number for two weeks, chose the song himself, dreamed of performing it on stage. Of course, we had to urgently find a replacement.
Through the children's promotional agency Kids Promo, the producers found another young singer - Timofey Sushin. According to Weinstein, Sushin had to rehearse the number in the field for three hours in a row.
- With their threats, the musical directorate of the First harmed exclusively Leo - a boy who not only could not perform his favorite song on stage, but already at the age of 13 he was faced with the harsh realities of show business, - Timur is indignant.
By the way, the teacher of Lev Axelrod himself, Max Davison, is inclined to blame for what happened not so much Channel One as the channel "Russia". According to Davison, the producers of the One to One show just set them up.
- We warned the organizers almost a day before the filming of the show that we would not be able to take part, - Davison told Super.ru . - The Rossiya TV channel acted very brazenly that it did not warn us that there could be problems with Channel One! Nobody forbade us to participate in One to One, they just made it clear that the First would be unpleasant if we appeared on this show, since this is a competitor channel. The first channel nevertheless opened Leo, gave way to life. There are elementary concepts of ethics, which is why we refused.
To a reasonable question, did the boy’s mother and teacher really not understand that it was already unethical to accept the invitation of the Rossiya channel, guided by their own opinion, Davison hesitated:
- Absolutely not, they did not understand. Understand, we are so busy people that we do not think about it!
Super.ru turned to representatives of Channel One for comment, but they categorically refused to explain the incident.
13-year-old Lev Axelrod - finalist music show"Voice. Children ”on Channel One from the first broadcasts won the love of hundreds of thousands of young fans all over Russia.

The young singer completely changed his image
There was no competition. On the contrary, a friendly atmosphere reigned in our team. Everyone supported each other. During the project, all 45 participants became friends with each other. We continue to communicate after the project.
- Out of a million profiles, you were selected and invited to the casting. For many, you are an idol. Do you have any idols?
Ozzy Osbourne is my idol. Read his biography. Recently he came to Moscow. But I couldn't get to his concert. His concert coincided with my performance in Sochi. Hope it's still ahead.
Participants in popular contests are terribly busy people. But adults are one thing and children are another. Do you miss your childhood? Don't you want to give up everything and just live - without worries and troubles?
I will answer this way: I spend my childhood in my own way. My hobby and profession are both acting skills and vocals. It opens my soul.
- You are still so young... Isn't it too early to think about the soul?
- (thinking) In childhood, one soul, in adult life- another.
- Have you considered other areas of activity?
No. I started singing in kindergarten. My first listener was my mother. "ABOUT! My boy sings well! ”- her delight knew no bounds. (laughs)

- Is your mother also a musician?
No, she is a doctor.
- Did you manage to study at school and at the same time study music?
Passed all exams. But academic performance, I confess, was limping.
- Are you a perfectionist?
Sometimes. I have low self-esteem. Worth getting three points for test in mathematics, how it falls below the "plinth". At this moment I say to myself: “Loser! Enough of your arithmetic. From now on, you'll only be doing music." But as soon as I get an A, my mood changes exactly in the opposite direction.
If the book is interesting, I'll read it to the end. One of the latest is "Two Captains". I think I even read it twice.
- Do you read on a tablet or do you prefer paper?
- I read "Two Captains" in paper version. Borrowed this old tattered book from my grandmother.
- Did you manage to feel the fruits of the popularity received on the project?
Sometimes you don't even have to answer the phone. Recently unknown person left my number mobile phone V social network. Of course, a flurry of calls rained down. I had to turn on airplane mode on my phone.
- Recognized on the street?
Often.
- Do you like the attention?
Differently. Sometimes you walk down the street, listen to music. Suddenly you are sharply pulled back with the words: “Boy, take a picture with me!”. Not always pleasant. I do not mind being photographed, but you can ask the same thing, but in a different way.
- Do you do sports?
Thanks to my dad. He raised his ears to the whole school and now together with the whole class we are engaged in physical education and swimming.
- Dima Bilan also loves sports. By the way, how was your relationship?
I first met in an English children's camp. I was nine years old. Heard his songs before. I like his voice.
- What are you dreaming about now? Assemble your own Music band, For example?
Never thought about it. I always thought of myself as a solo singer.
- A traditional question for all participants musical project: Is there life after The Voice?
Certainly. Regularly invited to various events. Organized several times solo concerts. By the way, now fans are more likely to contact me with a request to arrange a fan meeting for them. Recently, one of these meetings took place in Sochi.
