Last weekend, Glavkino announced the name of the winner of the second season of the show “You are super!” (NTV). 14-year-old Diana Ankudinova from Togliatti won 49% of the votes and received the main prize of the competition.
Diana, I know that you want to enter a music college in Moscow. We promise you that we will help you to enter, - said the general producer of NTV Timur Weinstein.
He was supported by the composer Igor Krutoy.
So that you have a place to live in Moscow, when you come to college, I give you an apartment on my own, ”he promised from the stage.
The girl, embarrassed, accepted congratulations. She says she certainly didn't expect to win. Although the fact that Diana was among the favorites of this season was immediately clear. She has a very strong and beautiful voice. On YouTube, videos with her performances have already been viewed more than 50 million times! Plus, she was helped by a great experience of performing at other competitions. Even before participating in “You are super!” Diana won a whole series of international and all-Russian competitions, and was also a participant in the Voice. Children-4.
His first performance in "You're super!" I dedicated to my grandmother, - said the girl. - On the day when the program was filmed, she was very ill, she was dying. My mother and I even went to church and prayed for her. Now she is better.
The girl calls the woman who raises her mother. About native prefers not to remember. Diana lived with her for the first three years of her life, it was in Ussuriysk. The girl was the only one who survived in an endless series of pregnancies of a drinking mother. But she was not happy with her daughter. She beat her, did not feed her, extinguished cigarette butts on her, even tried to drown her in the bath. Once a girl was found on the street in winter, her collarbone was broken. The memory of life with "mother" will forever remain on Diana's body - she is covered in scars.
None of the relatives wanted to take Diana to her - they considered that she was mentally retarded. So the baby at the age of three ended up in an orphanage. She was later adopted by her foster family. Diana asked her foster mother to take her as far away from her biological one as possible. And Irina left everything she had - her family and loved ones, and left her native Far East for Tolyatti. The foster mother Irina found out about the girl's singing talent by accident. Diana didn't speak for a long time. She was taken to a speech pathologist. And she advised to sing more to develop speech skills.
Last year, Diana was shown in The Voice. Children ”- and the mother immediately reminded of herself, found her daughter through social networks. She began to write, threatened that she would take her to her (the girl was not adopted by a new family, but is under guardianship. - Ed.). Then she sent her photo - they say, look how similar you are to me, I even cut the same bangs. But for Diana, of course, such news from her mother is just a nightmare.
Now Diana has a new life. After winning "You're Super!" she immediately drove off to Artek for the international children's competition "New Children's Wave". But not everything is so rosy - there is a fear that Diana may be left without a voice. This is another hello from my mother - the consequences of a difficult childhood. What exactly is happening with Diana's health and how she is experiencing her victory can be seen in the special documentary “You are super! Before and After”, which is currently being prepared for broadcast and should be released in June.
"You are super. The Best". Saturday, 20.00, NTV.
12-year-old Valeria Adleiba from Abkhazia became the winner of the first season of the popular project “You are Super!”. The girl was fond of singing from a very young age, and now she has declared herself from the big stage!
Lera, tell us how you decided to take part in the contest "You are Super!" As far as we know, you are from Abkhazia. How did you even know about him?
When they announced the casting of "You're Super!" in Abkhazia, my music teacher invited me to take part in it. So I learned about the new project on NTV.
Could you imagine that you will win? At what stage of the project did you begin to understand that you have a chance to become the first?
Until the last moment, I did not think about winning, as I enjoyed being on the project. It was a new experience for me and meeting incredible people.
Acquaintance (communication) with which of the jury members or participants was the most impressive? From whom did you receive valuable advice? Who are you talking to now?
I was greatly impressed by my acquaintance with Viktor Drobysh himself. He is a man of incredible energy. His advice on the project was invaluable. And the most valuable advice: do not betray yourself and your desires. We communicate to this day, we call each other, sometimes I meet Stas Piekha at concert venues. He is an amazing and very warm person. These chance encounters are the most unforgettable.
Speech by the winner of the contest "You are super" Valeria Adleiba
Was your goal initially to participate or were you determined to win? What do you think, when taking part in such competitions, you need to be sure that you are the best, or, after all, the main thing is participation?
Initially, my goal was to adequately represent my Republic on the big stage. 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 member are you friends with? How has your life changed since "You're awesome!"? 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 at the victories together. After the project, my life has changed dramatically for the better. I gained experience, confidence on the big stage and clearly realized my calling in life.
Have you received offers from producers?
We do not consider any kind of proposals yet, as we grow professionally and study. We believe education comes first. And, of course, I want to be a little more a child and fool around with friends.
By the way, how did you sing in general? And why did you decide that singing is yours? Did she insist on development in this regard, or, for example, did her parents suggest?
As a child, I always tried to sing everywhere and always. My love for music was always encouraged by my parents. I did a lot of experiments, and once again, when I sang Adele's song "Rolling in the deep", my mother and I realized that this was the beginning ... (smiles).
Lera, in your opinion, how important is the support of relatives in the development of the talents of children and adolescents?
In my opinion, this is very important, since the support of relatives and loved ones makes it possible to develop and truly create and be useful in this profession. I am supported by my whole family, and this makes me very happy, because at an early stage, with the help of my family, I was able to understand what my calling was.

How do your friends feel about 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? Do you think, in general, a person can have a large number of real friends?
I have repeatedly heard that many friends do not exist. But I believe that if there is 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 my free time with my friends, which, fortunately, I have a lot.
Lera gladly 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 experienced such unpleasant moments as envy or criticism? How do you react to them?
I perceive professional criticism positively, as this is the only way to see and analyze my mistakes and shortcomings from the outside. And I deplore envy, because it is the easiest way for a lazy person.
How often do you study music: is it with a teacher or do you go to a music school?
I devote my free time from school to the music school and separate classes with a teacher.
Are you determined to continue on your 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, for whom did you root?
Of course, I watched and cheered for all the participants.
What competitions do you want to take part in?
It is difficult to answer this question. At the moment, there are no assumptions about this. Since I still have a rest and learn new knowledge.
Which of the representatives of the post-Soviet or foreign stage inspires you the most?
In my work I am inspired by Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Lara Fabian. But Whitney Houston holds 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?
Since my republic is famous for its beautiful beaches and incredible natural beauty, I plan to spend time with friends at sea.
Do you prefer calm or extreme rest?
I always have an extreme rest and now this desire is only intensifying. I love active rest, it really tones me.
Is it difficult to combine regular studies and music education?
Studying is always a lot of work, effort and work. But I like all this. I enjoy it, so I try to just enjoy and combine with pleasure.
Do you play musical instruments or want to learn?
Not yet. But I plan to learn guitar and piano.
Are you recognized on the street? How do you react?
Everyone in my homeland will find out (laughs). At first, I reacted to this with apprehension and uncertainty. It was completely unusual for me. But now I understand that this is part of my profession, and without it, nowhere.
In your opinion, how not to "starve", and why is this happening?
When you clearly answer these questions to yourself, then there are no more problems, and you are calmly moving towards your goals. I think it's stupid. After all, fame and success can turn your head very much. Fortunately, on my way I met, and continue to meet people who explain many points and controversial situations. So I'm happy that I got away with it.
What would you like to wish to the readers of our portal?
I sincerely wish to seek and find inspiration, never give up, believe in miracles. On a personal example, I was convinced that they tend to come true.
