And the director Alana Badoeva dedicated to the creation of a new musical group.
In 2012, a famous Russian producer Konstantin Meladze made a sensational statement: the musical group "VIA Gra" will cease to exist in 2013. But in fact, he decided to form a completely new team with a name familiar to the public.
Reality show I WANT V VIA GRU!» - a project of the production company of Alan Badoev "Gaudi Studio".
Selection of the next members of the group "VIA Gra" happen as part of a reality show. Producer Konstantin Meladze, along with the audience, will choose worthy candidates for the sexiest musical group in Russia.
Ukrainian director Alan Badoev became one of the jury members of the reality show « I WANT V VIA GRU!»:
When Konstantin announced the closure of the group, I immediately reacted to this news. I suggested that he breathe new life into VIA Gro, and most importantly, for the first time in the history of show business, open the truth to the audience. About how really ordinary girls are turned into pop divas of the scene. It will not be some kind of show like "Star Factory" or "Factor A". It will be a real show business: we will shoot and show everything as it is.
I decided to start from scratch. I am starting a new story of the cult group "VIA Gra". For the first time, I will open the backstage, and everyone will be able to see how the divas of the team are created. I'm waiting for a variety of girls who believe in themselves. I need talent and live emotion.
Konstantin Meladze also said that the new group will not have a clear format: the participants do not need model data, enough charm and good vocals. Every reality show « I WANT V VIA GRU!» will be marked by three applicants "for departure", and viewers with the help of SMS-voting will be able to save only one of the girls. And when three finalists remain in the project, reality « I WANT V VIA GRU!» will turn into a real guide to behind-the-scenes ways to win the status quo on the Russian stage.
Evgeny Morozov, CEO of Ru-Concert, said that the idea of a reality project « I WANT V VIA GRU!» This is a great publicity stunt.
Now, at New Year's performances, VIA Gra will sing for no less than 120 thousand dollars! Five times more expensive! It is possible that the producers will announce a casting for the new VIA Gru and make a grand show out of this. Genius move!
In addition, ex-soloists will become girls' mentors and take a certain trio under their "wing": they will share the secrets of stage image and successful performances.
Show " WANTVVIA GRU! viewers from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan will be able to see at the same time.
Stages of casting and show I WANT V VIA GRU!
First stage
Konstantin Meladze, Igor Vernik and one of the ex-soloists of the VIA Gra musical group watch the prepared performances of the participants and select the best ones. Sixty charming singers pass on.
Second phase
Some girls are excluded from participating in the casting because of their choreographic abilities, photos without makeup and personal qualities. The rest independently form teams for the performance, work on the images, and as a result, the jury members form and invite eight trios to the stage.
The show starts here:
First stage
Each "troika" has mentors, and the girls themselves are settled around the hostel. With each stage, living conditions change: the finalists will live in luxury apartments and visit the best beauty salons and recording studios. At the end, the two weakest "trio" leave the project " WANTVVIA GRU!
Second phase
With the help of mentors, the girls prepare two songs each, rehearse and perform in front of strict jury members. Then the two triplets leave the stage.
Third stage
The history of the previous stage is practically repeated, and Konstantin Meladze himself arranges a test of "strength" for the girls. He personally decides to remove the last pair of "trio", and the audience starts voting.
The final stage
The new group "VIA Gra" will be chosen by the audience! The process is accompanied by a large gala concert and promises to be the most successful talent show in history.
Producer Konstantin Meladze, famous throughout Russia, decided to launch an extraordinary reality show called “I want to VIA Gru”. To be honest, our country has never seen such a thing. It all started last year, when Konstantin announced to the whole of Russia that the famous and popular pop group Via Gra was breaking up on January 1 of this year. This news shocked many then. There was such a fuss that Meladze decided, by all means, to rectify the situation. But in what way! In general, he launches a new project to search for new members of the team with the old well-known name. Interest in this project increased almost immediately.
Well, it is understandable, because, for sure, every girl would like to be in the place of the members of this team.
The viewers of the project already know that several castings have taken place in such large cities of the CIS as Moscow, Kyiv, Almaty, and even Minsk. The organizers of the project tried to keep these shootings secret so that there would be some zest, but you can’t hide an elephant in an ordinary haystack. So everything has been known for a long time, and this in no way spoils the scandalous reality show “I Want to VIA Gru”.
Now let's talk a little about the leading TV shows. Already from the very name of the project, it can be understood that the girl who was directly involved in the Via Gra group should become the main host. And, of course, Vera Brezhneva becomes the leader, because she completely and thoroughly knows everything about her old group. In addition to everything else, one of the leaders of the project will be Vladimir Zelensky, a director and actor whom the audience remembers from his numerous films.
As previously reported, one of the preliminary castings took place on June 15 in Kyiv, in a city where there can be a huge number of group fans. In general, more than five hundred young and beautiful girls came to that casting, and all of them truly wanted to take part in this competition, and they already represented themselves in the Via Gra group. This is where the organizers had to work hard. All the girls are beautiful and sexy, many are talented, and all are eager to participate in the competition. It was difficult for the jury to make a choice, because only three girls will be able to end up in about a month in the office of Konstantin Meladze. But to achieve this, you will have to work hard. The organizers have come up with such complex, and even in some way provocative contests for potential participants, that it makes you shudder. But if the case works out, then everything will pay off in full, of course.
Soon the organizers will start dialing the phone numbers of all participants to express their gratitude and talk about what happened. The vast majority will literally be drowning in tears, well, but for someone, happiness will not be weak.
Now it is also necessary to pay attention to the coaches for the participants who will pass the casting, because there is no way without them! And who do you think will be the coaches? Yes, here and do not go to a fortuneteller, everything is so clear. The coaches are former members of the team, Nadezhda Meikher (Granovskaya), Anna Sedokova, Vera Brezhneva, Albina Dzhanabaeva and Alena Vinnitskaya. Well, let's see how they behave as teachers.
Among other things, Konstantin Meladze announced the news that the casting had its further continuation. This news gave hope to hundreds more girls who will arrive from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. And with all these potential contestants of the television project “I Want to VIA Gro”, Konstantin will have to meet. Although, why not? Beautiful young girls and a famous director! Okay, it's just lyrics. But girls really should be sexy, if only for the simple reason that this is the mascot of the Via Gra group. Can we remember the former representatives of this group? Why, they were the standard of sexuality! So this is another point that every girl who decides to try her hand must take into account.
In general, the show was actually one of the most anticipated. But many today are asking questions, they say, why is this project being developed for so long, completely different from everyone else? Probably, many have forgotten what happened recently with Konstantin Meladze in Ukraine? After all, it was he who became the culprit of the traffic accident, which ended very sadly. So it is not at all surprising that it is difficult for Konstantin now. But, nevertheless, the show continues, and we can only wait.
By the way, I would like to pay special attention to one of the members of the old Via Gra team. This girl's name is Alena Vinnitskaya. She, like all the other participants, was popular and sexy, but she decided to stay the same! Unlike many others, Alena continues to work in show business, and the girl is not as easy as it might seem. But, nevertheless, she achieved her goal, for which she deserves universal respect.
So, a television reality show called "I want to VIA Gru." We look forward to what will happen on the First Channel stage, what Konstantin and all the other organizers and participants of the project will be able to offer us. TV show NTV I want to VIAGRA watch online for free all series
In early September, we told you about the new talent show "". The project has become the most rated Ukrainian show of this season. For three weeks in a row, viewers from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan watched television castings. In the second round, the jury selected only 60 girls, who from tomorrow will have to pass new tests with dances and songs. Not only girls unknown to a wide audience, but also already familiar faces wanted to get into the VIA Gra group.
Erika Herceg - Playmate, May 2013 (Russia)
So, for example, the male audience could recognize Erica Herceg, who was filming
for Playboy magazines. In November 2012, she graced the Ukrainian edition, and in the Russian May 2013 issue she was named the girl of the month. Looking at Erica's candid photo shoot, you can hardly believe that this girl studied at a religious lyceum and did not meet guys until she was 18. Previously, Erica suffered from excess weight, but then she decided to become a model and began to work on herself. Now she is not ashamed of her body. In other words, we are still ashamed to publish such pictures, so see all the most interesting in the magazine.
Bogdana Nazarova in an erotic photo shoot for XXL magazine (June)
Another famous Ukrainian woman who got a second chance was Mrs.
Ukraine 2012", 24-year-old Bogdana Nazarova. At the casting, Nazarova admitted that instead of a fairy tale, she received a tyrant husband who supplied her with luxury and kept her on a "short leash." There was a stun gun in the girl's bedside table because she was afraid of attacks from her husband Despite the contestant's poor vocal abilities, Konstantin Meladze gave Nazarova a chance and missed the second round, considering her "scary and harassed". ex-husband of the ex-soloist of VIA Gra Santa Dimopoulos. A photo of the couple's romantic dinner with words of gratitude appeared on Vladimir's page on the social network. "Bogdanchik, thank you for the best romantic evening, and of course - for the violinist," Vladimir signed the photo. in turn, almost immediately wrote a confession of sincere and deep love to Samsonenko under a joint photo.The cavalier did not appreciate the refined lyricism of the crowned beauty and I just deleted the post. This is understandable, because on Instagram he posts photos with another girl.
Ani Karo can undress for men, but will not kneel before them
The first day was not without controversy. Ex-soloist of the group "Hot
chocolate" Anna Karapetyan decided to return to show business after maternity leave. Konstantin had already agreed to take her to the second round on the condition that Anna lose a couple of kilograms and resume vocal lessons. But the sultry beauty herself refused to continue participating in the show due to frivolous behavior of Igor Vernik.In a telephone conversation with Vera Brezhneva, a girl with an ardent character was indignant at the behavior of the jury: “I was never asked to crawl on my knees. On my knees, I can only stand in front of two people - in front of my son and in front of my mother. But not in front of someone. " Apparently, kneeling is more embarrassing than being completely naked in amateur photography.
Svetlana Dzonin was refused. The second Vera Brezhnev is not needed on stage
Also, a blonde with a sweet smile, Svetlana Dzonin, came to the casting,
conquered the jury with her resemblance to Vera Brezhneva. Svetlana married an Italian and moved to Italy, but for the sake of the show she was ready to return to Ukraine. True, her bright appearance did not help the girl get into the second round.
Misha Romanova has friendly support in the person of Max Barsky
Misha Romanova, ward of Alan Badoev, successfully entered the second stage
(director of the project) and a friend of Max Barsky. The girl at the casting sang her solo song "Show me how to love." The jury members noted that Misha is not quite in the VIA Gra format, but her vocal abilities allow her to go further. Perhaps the girl herself does not want to get into the group so much as to light up on central television channels as an aspiring solo performer.
Yulianna Lukasheva is no stranger to photo shoots in men's magazines
And the self-confident Yulianna Lukasheva, the former soloist of the group "Brilliant",
members of the jury brought on stage to tears. They severely criticized the girl for a set of stage stamps in the room. As it turned out, the experience of working on the big stage became a disadvantage, not an advantage over other contestants. True, Yulianna's tears touched Konstantin Meladze, so he gave her a second chance.
Ekaterina Prigoda turned out to be suitable for Playboy magazine
Another Playmate of the Russian edition of Playboy showed up at the casting
talent show and performed "Romance" by Splin. Konstantin Meladze for a long time could not decide what was wrong with this girl: "Either she is stupid, or strange." Having not dealt with this difficult issue, the producer skipped the red-haired model in the second stage to clarify the situation.
"Miss Georgia 2011" Janet Kerdikoshvili passed to the second round
Another winner of the beauty contest came to the casting talent show
"I want to VIA Gro." Charming and modest girl Janet Kerdikoshvili has the title of "Miss Georgia-2011". There is very little information about her. Only scandals related to Russian citizenship, which could prevent the girl from getting into the Miss World contest and losing her title. However, Janet again received Georgian citizenship and retained the status of "Miss Georgia". There were also rumors that Janet was supposed to sing in the alternative group "VIA Gra" by Dmitry Kostyuk, but she preferred participation in Konstantin Meladze's show to him.
Ekaterina Volkova used to light up the dance floors
The next girl is known not only to lovers of nightlife in Belarus,
but also to some viewers. Go-go dancer Katya Volkova took part in another talent show "Ukraine May Talent" and won the projects "Dancing by Rules-4", "Queen of the Dance Floor", etc. Her incendiary number to the hit of the Serebro group "Mama Lyuba" was remembered by many viewers, and the lyrical performance of the song by Jennifer Lopez allowed the girl to go to the next stage.
Julia Lauta from "Hollywood FM" marks in VIA Gru
Yulia Lauta's speech on the air of the program was cut to 20 seconds. But we are
anyway, they recognized her as a member of the group Yuri Nikitin "Hollywood FM", which also appeared in an erotic photo shoot for "Playboy". True, she was supposed to appear on the cover with her bandmate, but Alesya Spelova at the last moment refused to be naked for shooting because of her strict father. But Julia decided to show her figure in all its glory because of the ex-boyfriend who blackmailed her with candid pictures taken during the period of their relationship. Now you won't surprise anyone with those photos. We have already evaluated everything.
See the gallery for photos of the rest of the girls who made it to the second round.
About myself
I am not a professional singer I have no musical education. I studied in a foreign language, I work as a marketer in a construction company. But, no matter how I try to part with the music, she does not want to part with me.
Many write that I deceived everyone on the project,that I am really a modern girl. At first it worried me a lot, then II have learned to take criticism well.When on the project I spoke about myself and my upbringing, I didn’t lie. I was real.
T oh, how they introduced me to the project - it's not me. D To attract the attention of the audience to the show, it was necessary to strengthen the image.This is the work of producers, editors, psychologists, editing, after all. Actually I the same as many girls in Kazakhstan. We honor traditions and respect elders, but our parents never wrapped us in a veil. This is a different culture.
About "I want to VIA Gro"
This show, and without a clear scenario, there would not have been such success and high ratings. There was a plan according to which we all moved, but the emotions of the members themselves were honest and genuine.
I am delighted with Konstantin Meladze!Such a thoughtful, calm, strong man. I remember how he found time in his crazy schedule, gathered us all after the dance tour, when we were tired, broken, waiting for the results. He talked to each one so that the retired girls would not be upset and understand that life did not end there. And these girls were. Intrigues, scandals, investigations, tears - everything was there.
On the project, we often ran into Vera Brezhneva. She was a permanent host of the show and helped us on all tours, supported us. I was just blown away by her vitality.
Why didn't I reach the final? I adequately evaluate myself and understand that I do not fit the "VIA Gre" that exists now. As it turned out, the format of the group has not changed, and I do not correspond to it. Of course, it was possible to look right, and sing, and move, but it seems to me that this would be unconvincing. This is a substitution, and the viewer feels false. I think that's why Konstantin Shotaevich said goodbye to me.
About life after the project
There have been no major changes in my life. But I got a great experience, and now I understand that I want to go on stage. I already have a songwriter, composer, arranger, clip maker who can give me what I need. I feel that we are on the same wavelength, and this is very important. The matter remains small: ongo funding. Hope the issue doesn't drag on.I also try myself as a TV presenter, waiting for my role in the movie. There are many plans.

About "I want to VIA Gro"
It was thanks to this show that I realized what I want from life, and I am grateful to fate for being a part of it. Everything was top notch!
With the girls who came to the project from Kazakhstan, we were one team. Now I keep in touch with them and with participants from other countries - Sasha Popova, Maria Goncharuk and Katya Volkova.
We did not communicate much with Konstantin Meladze They didn't let us get close to him. But somehow he came to the shooting, and we surrounded him ourselves. He is a very pleasant, tactful person. Never offended any of us with a single word.
About life after the project
The show "I want to VIA Gru" gave me a big boost in terms of creativity, helped me grow up and be more confident. Now I am engaged in a solo career: in the summer I recorded a song "Sensiz" in Kazakh. The words are mine, and the author of the music is composer Pavel Li. I want to make a couple more tracks, the words for which are already ready.

The project is large-scale, the organization is wonderful, both Everything else is for the viewers to judge. Ireceived a huge energy charge, and, returning home,I just couldn't leave things as they are. Inspired by the show, I started my solo career.
I admire both Konstantin Meladze and the ex-participants of VIA Gra. Konstantin is an incredibly talented composer and musician. When we stood with him on the same stage, some kind of warmth, calmness came from him. I respect Vera Brezhnev for herdiligence, the ability to constantly improve yourself. This is a self made man.
About life after the project
Arriving homeI immediately recorded several solo compositions. This fall, together with the group "All Let's" we shot a video clip for the song "Say".
14 years ago, the VIAGRA group made a real revolution in the music industry, promoting frank sexuality and femininity. Over the years, dozens of members have changed in its composition, but the team still remains the most popular and desired group in the entire post-Soviet space and even beyond. A few years ago, Konstantin Meladze gave Viagra a second life, completely replacing its members and song repertoire. For many girls, a production project with such a provocative name has become a springboard for a successful solo career, for some it has become a chance to successfully marry, and for some it has become the only moment of glory.
What happened to the once most popular girls in the music industry after they were replaced by younger and sexier ones? What is “life after Viagra” like?
Alena Vinnitskaya
Country:
UkraineYears in the group: 2001-2003
Life before Viagra
Olga, this is actually the name of the well-known Alena Vinnitskaya, has been fond of music since childhood. From the age of five, she wrote poetry, and under the influence of the work of the Kino group, the girl learned to play the guitar and created her own musical group, The Last Unicorn. For him, she personally wrote rock songs and performed as a soloist. Since Vinnitskaya's musical career in those years did not bring almost any income, she had to work hard outside of show business. So Alena sewed purses, worked in the office of an insurance company, and after the collapse of the team, she became a VJ and presenter on the BIZ-TV channel. Life in Viagra
Initially, when Dmitry Kostyuk had just born the idea of the Viagra group, it was planned to create a trio of sexy girls, and Alena Vinnitskaya was the first participant, who was immediately approved by the producer. The other two girls were replaced by Nadezhda Granovskaya and assigned roles in a duet: Alena was responsible for the vocals, and Nadia for the sexy picture, since her colleague preferred not to be too naked on the screen. As part of the group, Alena released only one album, but the songs from it are still considered well-deserved classics of the genre. She also starred in the videos “Attempt number five”, “Hug me”, “Bomb”, “I will not return”, “Stop! Stop! Stop!" and "Good morning, dad." The frank and too "pop" format of the group did not meet Vinnitskaya's ambitions, therefore (or maybe there were other reasons for that) in 2003 she left the band to start a solo career.Life after Viagra
After leaving the group, Vinnitskaya completely changed her repertoire and became the only glam-pop-rock performer in Ukrainian show business. For 12 years of a successful solo career, the singer has released 8 albums, several singles and the soundtrack for the film "Piranha Hunt". In addition to achievements in the music industry, Alena now works as a TV presenter of the morning show on the Ukraine channel, creates a fashion collection for the Gwen Stefani brand, and is actively involved in charity and social projects. Personal life
In 1993, Alena married Sergei Bolshoi, with whom she is connected not only by her family, but also by a common musical project - Alena Vinnitskaya. Like his wife, Sergey is a singer and musician, but at a certain time he sacrificed his career for the more successful Vinnitskaya brand. Despite two decades of family life, Alena and Sergey appear together at all events, holding hands romantically. They claim that the secret to their long marriage is that they got married long before Viagra. But lately, the couple has been surrounded by rumors of a divorce, the cause of which was the constant betrayal of Alena. Nadezhda Granovskaya

Life before Viagra
Before joining the group and becoming the sexiest woman in the post-Soviet space, Nadezhda was just a beautiful girl from the Ukrainian village of Zbruchovka. She did not have any special vocal abilities, so when she heard about the casting in Viagra, Nadia sent her half-naked photos to Konstantin Meladze. And immediately got into the main team, pushing two girls, whom the producers approved earlier.Life in Viagra
Despite the fact that Nadezhda did not know how to sing, did not know Russian and even Ukrainian, she spoke in short phrases in Surzhik, it was she who became the face of the Viagra group and the key to its success. Granovskaya lasted the longest in the team - for 8 years, while she twice tried to say goodbye to the team forever. But thanks to her sexual energy, the producers still brought the girl back.Life after Viagra
When Nadezhda finally left the Viagra project, she did not start a solo career. Instead, she worked for a long time as a TV presenter on the Ukrainian channel STB, where she talked about the news of show business and the life of star colleagues. Nadia also took part in the show "Like Two Drops", where she reincarnated as Lady Gaga, Lyudmila Gurchenko and even Leontiev, unexpectedly demonstrating strong vocal skills.Nadezhda Granovskaya is the author of the collection of intimate lyrics "Momentary Attraction".
“And in a pause over personal admiration, you will not notice my departure; I look in the mirror with contempt and think what a freak you are...”. Recently, Nadezhda announced that she was going to release a retro solo album.
Personal life
Granovskaya's personal life was as bright and frank as her stage outfits. In 2002, she gave birth to a son from a Ukrainian businessman, but this romance never ended with the sound of wedding bells. A few years later, she met Moscow businessman Mikhail Urzhumtsev, from whom she gave birth to a daughter, Anna. Two years later, in 2014, the couple got married.

Life before Viagra
Before getting into show business, Tatyana was an exemplary girl, a student at St. Petersburg University. A. I. Herzen, who already had six years of a successful modeling career behind her. She has posed for famous fashion publishers such as Shape, Elle and Top ten. But when Nadezhda Meikher left the Viagra group to give birth to a son and build a happy family life, Tatyana quit her career and went to the casting, which she successfully passed. Later, the girl said that the producers twice called her to the team, but the first time she refused, stupidly considering the group vulgar and provocative. Life in Viagra
Perhaps, if the family life of Nadezhda Granovskaya in 2002 had been successful, then Tatyana Naynik could have become a full-fledged member of the Viagra group. But the girl stayed in the team for only six months, during which she did not manage to be remembered by fans or make a full-fledged contribution to the development of the project. Tatyana starred in the clips “Stop! Stop! Stop!" and "Good Morning Dad!" before quietly leaving the group. Life after Viagra
Inspired by the light of spotlights and crowds of screaming fans, Tatyana was very upset by her unexpected departure from the group. She visited a psychologist for a long time and complained about the injustice and cruelty of Konstantin Meladze. And then the girl graduated from the university and decided not to return to her modeling career. Now Tatyana is the producer and soloist of the Maybe women's group, which, with its frank sexuality, is very reminiscent of Viagra.Anna Sedokova

Anna Sedokova knew from childhood that she was destined to become a star, and her mother indulged her daughter's aspirations in every possible way. At the age of six, she enrolled in the Svitanok folk dance group, and later graduated from a music school and the Institute of Culture. When Anna found out about the casting in the new group of Konstantin Meladze, she immediately went to the audition, but did not pass it only because of her young age - at that time the girl was only 17 years old. After the refusal, thanks to her appearance, she began to earn extra money as a model, TV presenter and radio announcer.Life in Viagra
When in 2002 the producers decided to turn Viagra into a trio, they remembered Anna. At that moment, a group was born in its "golden composition": Sedokova, Granovskaya and Brezhnev. Together they recorded one of the most successful albums Stop! Shot”, filmed a series of sexy clips and even took part in the New Year's television musical “Cinderella”. In 2004, Anna left the team, hoping to find true happiness in family life. Her chosen one was footballer Valentin Belkevich, to whom she gave birth to a daughter, Alina. But her marriage did not work out, as did her successful career as part of the Viagra group.Life after Viagra
For a long time, Anna Sedokova tried to find happiness in love. Soon she married American businessman Maxim Chernyavsky, moved to Los Angeles with him and gave birth to a daughter, Monica, but this relationship was doomed to failure. After a series of personal failures, Sedokova decided to return to her musical career. She radically changed her repertoire, leaving behind "pop" songs, and recorded several successful singles, in collaboration with director A. Badoev and composer D. Monatic. In addition, she published the book "The Art of Seduction", developed a clothing line and constantly participates in TV shows on Ukrainian and Russian television, including the popular projects "I want to Meladze" and "I want to Viagra".
