Victoria Starikova, who got from Renata Litvinova and Vladimir Pozner on the show "Minute of Glory", continues to make music. Parents support their talented daughter in everything. "360" talked with the girl's mother Anna Starikova and found out how the life of the young singer is developing.
Eight-year-old Victoria Starikova from Nizhny Tagil arrived in the capital in the winter of 2017 to perform in the Minute of Glory television competition. A schoolgirl who sings from a very young age brought Zemfira's song "Live in your head" to the talent show.
The jury included Sergei Yursky, Vladimir Pozner, Sergei Svetlakov and Renata Litvinova. The latter, who is in a close relationship with the singer Zemfira, criticized the girl. According to the actress, the song for Victoria is “too mature” and the girl does not understand what she is singing about. Vladimir Pozner supported Litvinova, literally accusing the child's parents of promoting themselves at her expense.
Despite the attacks of the jury, the girl still passed to the next round. There, together with her mother, she sang the song "Motherland" by Sergei Trofimov, but even here the eminent artists were dissatisfied with her. According to the mother of the young singer Anna Starikova, Victoria was very worried about what had happened.
She was worried, but she was worried not for herself, but for us. After all, they attacked not her, but "conceited parents." Vika, of course, was not clear why they scolded us, parents

Russia literally divided into two camps - most of the people who saw the broadcast stood up for the child and turned their anger on Litvinova and Pozner, who brought the girl to tears.
It caused such a resonance. The country was literally divided into two camps. At the very beginning it was very difficult. Many strangers on social networks considered it their duty to scold me or protect me.

After participating in the program, Victoria was awarded the "Person of the Year" award in Nizhny Tagil in the nomination "Children who glorified the city." Currently, the 9-year-old singer is studying at ordinary and music schools, continues to participate in various competitions and, of course, receives awards.
In the summer, she took third place in the Generation NEXT 2017 international festival, which was held at the Rosa Khutor resort. It was unexpected, since there were more than 100 participants in her age category!

According to mother Victoria, while the child is studying, reading books and playing music. Victoria has not yet decided which area she wants to connect her future with. But parents are ready to support any of her choices.
If she wants to connect her life with music or not with music, we will always help her in everything! That's why we and parents love our children and help them

After waiting a little while, when everyone will unsubscribe about how the heartless jury almost leaked Vika Starikov at the “Minute of Glory”, I decided to say an opinion that differs from others. Now Uncle Misha will give you a full breakdown of the situation. In general, everyone here is an asshole, except for Vicki. Assholes are parents who brought a child who was not ripe for this song to the central stage of the country. Assholes - the jury, except for Svetlakov, who seriously discussed this performance. And, having come to the conclusion that this is fucking awesome, nevertheless turned on the artistic council of the Soviet Union and almost flunked the girl. And here Sergei Yursky tried, who listened so touchingly, sang such praises in his speech, but, in the end, leaked Vika. What the uncle is doing on the jury, who last heard Claudia Ivanovna Shulzhenko from the singers at the anniversary concert in 1976 is not at all clear. Litvinova ... Well, what about Litvinova, she also turned on a strict aunt. Posner, based on political experience, was more diplomatic, weighing both yours and ours.
And no one noticed the main thing. Litvinova's question, what songs of Zemfira does Vika know, except for this one. And the answer was that this is the only thing that Vika knows from Zemfira. So it was a really forbidden reception by Vika's parents, who counted on Litvinova's support by choosing this song for their daughter, but received a complete thrashing from her. Leave all the tales that Vika chose this song herself for the program "Good night, kids!"
Was Vicki's performance as awesome as a lot of people say? No, it was not. There was a sweet childish spontaneity, there was diligence and cuteness. Every child has this in abundance. And, in all honesty, let's directly admit that Vika did not show anything so supernatural.
And sho we have with the jury as a result: Yursky - 82 years old, Pozner - 83 years old, Litvinova - 50 years old, Svetlakov - 40 years old. What do two grandfathers do on the jury? Adios, fart! The point is not your age, but the fact that you are completely out of touch with life. Sinatra, at 80, was much younger and more alive than all of you put together.
We also have the angry opinion of Max Fadeev on Instagram, who also went through the jury. "Just watched the wonderful performance of Vika Starikova at the Minute of Glory..." etc. Okay, isn't it wonderful? Max, you are our fat ass sun, but don't you want to remember how on the children's "Voice", you leaked much more talented children and promoted mediocrity because it was paid?
In general, any competition is stressful. There are practically no fair competitions. Everywhere there are passions and money. And when parents, by hook or by crook, try to make a star out of a child, they must understand what kind of dirt they are pushing the child into. And talk about tears, this is from the evil one. In this case, it is necessary to immediately recognize all children as winners and give them buns. And this does not happen. This is show business. It's Sparta, baby!
But is it really so bad, what we saw? Fuck there. Everything is fine! Vika received such crazy PR and fame that everyone only dreams of. Now many parents of the participants of the "Minute of Glory" and the participants themselves are tearing their hair in all places and biting their elbows with envy. So Vika would have been eliminated in the second round and no one would have remembered her. Now she can fly out, but rest assured, she will be invited to perform at concerts and corporate parties.
The first channel and "Minute of Glory" received a crazy rating on this scandal. The number of viewers of this program will increase. Many will drown for Vika. I wonder if the jury has the courage to dump it in the second round? In fact, I do not see any further prospects for the girl in this project. She is weak both as a singer and as a musician.
But the coin still chose Vika, which means that fate chose her. Come on, Vika! Break all patterns! This is the trump card that is given to you by fate. Do not rest on your laurels, but work, work and work on yourself again. And then, in ten years, we are waiting for you on the big stage. I not only remembered, but also wrote down this name! So, burn these old farts with napalm!!!
15:10 / March 02, 2017Anna Starikova said that the editors of the show offered them to perform Zemfira's song.
The young Tagil woman Victoria Starikova, who was brought to tears by the jury of the Minute of Glory, could not get into the next round and left the show.
In the second round, Victoria performed Sergei Trofimov's song "Motherland", which she sang to the accompaniment of her mother Anna. But this time too, Renata Litvinova and Vladimir Pozner did not like the performance, whose words brought the girl to tears in the last issue. Recall: for the first time, they considered that Zemfira’s song “Live in your head”, which was performed by the girl, was too “adult” for her. What they didn’t like the second time, the girl’s mother can’t tell yet, since the episode has not yet aired. But on the other hand, she explained to OUR correspondent why Victoria performed Zemfira's song in the first round.
- How did they generally react to the jury's reaction to the performance of this song by your daughter?
- With bewilderment! Because we went there at the invitation of the producers and editors of this project. That is, initially it was not our initiative. Of course we agreed. But there were no auditions. The editors of the show invited Victoria after seeing her YouTube channel. They liked the little angel who sings all kinds of songs. Because Vika can handle everything. And they were affected.
As the girl's mother said, Vika has been singing since the age of 4 and is not the first to participate in music competitions. True, so far only on the Internet, where, in addition to her channel, the 8-year-old girl has pages in all popular social networks.
- And it was the editors of the show who suggested performing Zemfira's song and thus making a surprise to one of the jury members - Renata Litvinova. Together with Vika, we also considered this possible. Since there is no age limit initially in this show. And in previous seasons of this show, even small children reached the final.
So you didn't choose the song?
No, we were offered. And we supported the idea of making a surprise. But we didn't mean to offend anyone. We just wanted to show how our little angel will perform Zemfira's song, of which Renata Muratovna is a fan. And she performed it in her own way, with her reading of this song. In no way did we want to touch on any deep topics, everything was much simpler, more vital and understandable for a small child.
- What do you think about Posner's phrase that children on stage are the result of parental vanity?
- And when famous people support their children in every possible way and are proud of them, and everyone around talks about their offspring - is this normal? Why is it possible for some, but they immediately say about others that this is vanity?
- And how did your daughter endure criticism from the jury. And what can you say about her participation in this project?
My daughter said she was very sorry when it was all over. No, she, of course, said that it was scary, her arms and legs were shaking. But she really enjoyed participating. After him, she said that she wanted her life to be connected with cameras, performances, competitions. In general, everything is wonderful with us. I think it was a very rewarding experience that Vika couldn't get anywhere else.
And all the talk and comments that the criticism of the jury caused Vika a psychological trauma, Anna calls far-fetched conjectures, which for some reason are inflated on the Internet.
Yesterday we talked about the incident on the popular Channel One show: a strict jury took up arms against 8-year-old Vika Starikova, who, in their opinion, simply had no right to sing such an adult Zemfira song. The child had to hear about himself such that there was no end to the tears. Were Vladimir Pozner, Renata Litvinova and Sergei Yursky right? We continue the discussion. A girl comes out. She's eight years old. Came from Nizhny Tagil. And sings "Live in your head" by Zemfira.
Sings unevenly.
There are different girls in the world: some go out, hoot and work like a German machine, others shake, bite their nails, but forget about everything on stage, others have fun, make fun and perceive everything as a game, the fourth are not sure of themselves. Most of them are. Girl Victoria is one of them.
The baby makes a mistake, then accelerates and gives out a pretty good cover on the whole. Mine. With blots, but honest and sometimes really talented.

And then they start to trample on it.
Jura is the first to get up.
I would like you to write this song, - the actor turned to the girl, referring to Zemfira's song, written by her at the age of 35. - I feel originality in performance. This is not imitation. But, bowing to you, I'm afraid that on the next round you will be required to sing another song. Or compose yourself, which you did not present today. No need to hurry. So you happened on the big stage. Began! And don't let it be running. Let it be normal growth.
And presses the red button - home.
The girl starts crying.
Victoria Starikova Live in your head. Moment of glory. Fragment of the issue dated February 25, 2017.
Renata Litvinova continues, which, of course, was given large during Zemfira's song. She was hurt that the girl:
a) does not know Zemfira's songs;
b) does not understand what the song is about;
c) parents persuaded to the forbidden reception.
What is forbidden? Parents, remembering the friendship of Zemfira and Renata, decided to convince the child to sing exactly this in order to pity Litvinova?

Finished off by Vladimir Pozner, who believes that it is unacceptable to release a mediocre child for slaughter, just to amuse parental vanity.
The only adequate was Svetlakov, who tried to stop the madness and save the child.
I have watched and rewatched this video. And he could not understand: how can one be such callous, wooden and heartless idols? Why were they put there at all? Yursky was born in 1935, he knows neither the songs of Zemfira, nor "Spleen", nor the rappers who come to the project. Why put him in an awkward position?
By what professional criteria was the little one killed? Did the director Litvinova or the TV presenter Pozner hear the marriage in the upper register or did they understand that the girl could not keep the tessitura? People who had previously gladly let professional acrobats, professional tightrope walkers, a professional magician, professional dancers, professional gymnasts into the project. For what? Who is interested in watching them? Are we in the Zapashny circus at the casting?
Yes, and how is this even possible in principle: the child is crying, and he is measuredly rolled into the asphalt with passion. What are you, comrades? This is a show. Let everything be imperfect. She tried, she hit almost everything, accompanied herself, followed her hands. Which makes the task twice as difficult.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Pozner and Sergey Yuryevich Yursky are so fond of recalling censorship and artistic councils that killed hosts of talents in the USSR.
When geeks take the stage, it is already clear that they are great, Posner explained.
Is it okay that Irina Arkhipova (a great opera singer. - Ed.) came to the conservatory at the age of 23? Montgomery (jazz guitarist. - Ed.) started playing the guitar at 20. Khachaturian studied physics and only heard about music until the age of 19.
Eight year old man. Eight. At this age, nothing can be understood yet - it happened, it didn’t happen. An eared miracle with a scythe. She sang unevenly, but sincerely, quite cleanly on the choruses, in an original way, she didn’t copy, she put all her little heart into it.
As a result, the child was forced to toss a coin (!!!) to determine whether it stays on or not, because two judges are for, two are against. Medieval savagery and humiliation. It would be better if they immediately issued a revolver with one bullet - why waste time on trifles.
And, most importantly, not a single muscle trembled on their faces when the child cried. Only Svetlakov, like a bear in a cage, toiled with a pendulum from Litvinova to Yursky.
Creative personalities, subtle natures, everything is clear.
I sing this song that if you love a person, you don’t have to offend him, - the guilty Vika crucified in front of them on stage.
Can you be more precise?
She's eight.
OPINION
Do not cripple children with fame
Natalia VARSEGOV
Our nine-year-old Ksyusha dreams of getting on the Voice. Children". She watches the show and sees herself on stage, beautiful, sonorous and successful. Great parental work is worth explaining to the child that all this is empty vanity. Look everyone, oh, what I am! This is the path to spiritual death. Showing off, grimacing for the entertainment of the public is a low thing for a decent child. (This is our opinion with my husband. We will consider objections.) ()
MEANWHILE
Mom of a crying girl at the “Minute of Glory”: “I don’t understand why you scold me?”
Parents of Vika Starikova for the first time explain why they sent the child to the competition and why their baby burst into tears on stage ()
Recently, there was a scandal on the Minute of Glory show. The performance of eight-year-old Victoria Starikova, who performed Zemfira's song "Live in your head", caused a public outcry. The viewers of the program were outraged by the tough judging of the girl's performance.
The jury members felt that such a composition is not suitable for a first grader who does not understand what she is singing about. Renata Litvinova was surprised that Victoria, having chosen this song for the contest, does not know Zemfira's other works. “I internally protest against this. Some kind of forbidden move. Excuse me, you are a good girl,” said Litvinova.
" Moment of glory"
Vladimir Pozner also spoke sharply about the performance: “I am against children on stage. This is more of a parental vanity - parents want their children to come out so they can brag about them. An eight-year-old man sings a song that was not written by an eight-year-old." While the jury members spoke, Victoria was crying, but no one thought to calm her down.
" Moment of glory"
Producer Max Fadeev, who has repeatedly been a mentor of the show “Voice. Children”, could not stay away from this situation. On his Instagram, he wrote a post in which he stood up for Victoria and condemned Vladimir Pozner for harshly criticizing the child. According to the producer, seeing the girl crying, he himself could not hold back his tears.
“I just watched the wonderful performance of Vika Starikova at the Minute of Glory.<…>I can’t get past what happened on the air, because I am a father, a teacher and a musician. Unlike all those gathered there on the jury. Therefore, I can evaluate it from a professional and pedagogical point of view. I have always deeply respected Mr. Posner and considered him the smartest, most subtle person, the highest-class journalist. But, in my opinion, his attitude towards this little child was very cruel and completely insensitive. After all, he is also a father and he knows very well that with a child you need to be extremely careful and attentive in assessing and criticizing him, ”said Fadeev (Spelling and punctuation authors hereinafter. - Note. ed.).
Max noted that criticism, of course, should be, but not evil, but accurate: “In relation to such a little girl, criticism should be in the form of a game or soft and paternal. For the child to understand correctly. But Mr. Posner chose a different style of communication with a child no taller than 40 cm. When I watched what the jury members said to her, I cried with her. Because I felt very sorry for her: well, why should she make excuses and explain - who chose this song and what she puts into it. She invests exactly what she feels, that's enough! She does not have to throw out all sorts of intellectual sayings in order to pamper the ears of such spoiled husbands. She just sang and that's it. This is neither good nor bad. She just sang, trying to convey her feelings as much as possible.
Fadeev believes that one of the judges, Sergei Svetlakov, was ashamed of his colleagues:
“I saw the face of Sergei Svetlakov, who, with every phrase of his colleagues, did not know what to do with himself. I believe that he was ashamed of those sitting on his left hand. Because I know how he treats children and what a wonderful father he is. I will not comment on the behavior, grimaces and texts of Litvinova, everything is clear with her.
