Alisa Ignatieva on the show “The Voice”
Alisa is well acquainted with the show “The Voice”, as she watched the first two seasons from beginning to end. She found this project extremely interesting because of the drive, thrills, the strong desire of each participant to win. She sent an application for participation after the first season, but there was no invitation to the casting. After the second season, she sent the questionnaire again, and she herself went on vacation to Europe. The news that she was invited to the casting found the girl in Greece. Returning to the capital, Ignatieva went to an audition, where she performed two compositions - “Zombie” by the Cranberries and “Oh, by the Cherry Orchard.” The last song passed the casting the contestant was offered to perform at the “blind” audition.
So in 2014, Alisa became a participant in the third season of the popular musical project of Channel One. At the blind auditions she presented folk song, which she once sang with her grandmother - “Oh, by the cherry orchard.”
Ignatieva performed this composition beautifully, presenting it sincerely and technically correctly. It must be said that it is quite rare to hear folk songs within the framework of musical projects. Nevertheless, in this case, thanks to the soulful and sincere performance, the audience liked the composition extremely. The mentors also highly appreciated the contestant’s vocal abilities, but only Pelageya turned her chair towards Ignatieva. It should be noted that Pelageya’s work is very close to Alice, because the group “Alice Franka” sings songs of the peoples of the world.
After performing the composition at the “blind” auditions, it became clear that a completely unusual performer appeared on the project, who was strikingly different from the other participants. Of course, it cannot be said that she is better than all the competitors, Ignatieva is just different. Getting into the Pelageya team was cherished dream young performer, and this dream came true. Pelageya received her with “open” arms and the words: “Welcome!”
At the stage of fights, Alisa’s opponent was Alexander Albert. They performed the song " The shadow of your smile.” Despite the fact that Alexander performed excellently, the judges gave preference to Alice. In an interview given by the participants after the performance of the number, both Alexander and Alisa were sincerely surprised that none of the mentors saved Alexander. Thus, Alisa Ignatieva advanced to the next round.
Pelageya invited Ignatieva to perform the song “The Loon Flew,” which is part of Marina Kapuro’s repertoire, at the “knockouts” stage. At first, Alice thought this composition was too simple and frivolous, however, while working on the song, she felt the joy of singing it on stage. Before the “knockouts” stage, the vocalist fell ill, and in her own words, even lost her voice. Seeing a doctor did not yield anything; the singer did not have a strong voice. Just before going on stage, the girl decided that she would perform as best she could. Naturally, I didn’t expect to win. When Pelageya left her on the team, she felt that she had won twice. Ignatieva advanced to the quarterfinals.

Last weekend, a significant event occurred in the life of the semi-finalist of the third season of the show “The Voice” Alisa Ignatieva - the girl got married. The singer’s chosen one was a young man named Anton, with whom she has a long-term relationship. The lovers signed in one of the capital's registry offices, and then went to the capital's restaurant, located in Ostankino Park. By the way, this place was not chosen by the couple by chance - it was in this park that Alice spent her childhood and youth, and therefore she has special memories associated with it.
It is interesting that Ignatieva received a marriage proposal from her lover almost immediately after meeting, which did not bother either the lovers’ family or their entourage. True, they decided to have the wedding only a year later. The celebration took place in the circle of those closest to them - the newlyweds sought to make this event special and the holiday cozy. Interestingly, Alisa and Anton themselves acted as presenters at own wedding– the couple joyfully introduced each other to the guests, joked, sang and had fun. By the way, professional musicians were present at the celebration of the significant event, and therefore the bride could not deny herself the pleasure of performing several favorite compositions for the guests. By the way, the young husband of the artist, although not from creative environment, but is sympathetic to her work and supports her in everything. So when she had to sacrifice honeymoon for the sake of touring, Anton took it calmly.
