In Moscow she had to have her throat treated. But for her heroic performance at the pole, Guseva was included in the Russian Book of Records.

24th place. Lera Kudryavtseva

Recently, 43-year-old Lera Kudryavtseva voiced the Warface project, an online game that is gaining popularity. Gives commands to the fighters, explaining to them the intricacies of the tasks. And this is not her first experience - in 2007 she voiced the heroine of the cartoon “Honey Plot”, in 2010 she “gave her voice” to the she-wolf from the cartoon “Alpha and Omega: The Fang Brothers”, and in 2012 – the heroine of “Cinderella: Full speed ahead!”... “Each voice acting is a game of intonation, the ability to express vivid emotions, a very exciting process!” – Lera admits to StarHit.

25th place. Angelica Agurbash

The singer only looks fragile and defenseless, but in fact she has been seriously engaged in boxing for 10 years! Interest in this sport appeared shortly after the birth of her third child, son Anastas. Angelica then dialed extra pounds, and boxing allowed me to quickly lose them and pump up my arms and abs. The 44-year-old singer now finds time to “grind the pear.” It keeps you in great shape and relieves stress. “I definitely don’t need a bodyguard,” the singer shared with StarHit. “I can completely take care of myself!”

Man cannot live without music, his structure is so strange. Music and songs are always in our heads and souls throughout life. Who in Russia contributes to what we hear and what we listen to? Let's talk about “women who sing...”.

The youngest singers

The Russian stage today is “staffed”, and new young stars appear on it less and less often. Although, it is worth noting that our singers look so good on stage and screens that it is difficult to guess their age.

But just a couple of years ago, very young singers attacked the music charts. Largely thanks to the “Star Factory,” girls who were far from even reaching adulthood began to appear more and more often at concerts and on the radio. The Forge of Stars gave the stage Yulia Savichev, Victoria Daineko, Polina Gagarin and many other beautiful and talented singers. Today these girls have already achieved a lot: they have their own albums, awards, participation in the most prestigious competitions and charts. But, alas, age takes its toll, and they no longer make it into the top three of the “Youngest Singers of Russia 2015” rating.

Of course, it is indecent to find out and announce a woman’s age, so let’s talk only about three representatives of the fair sex with good vocal abilities. You can still not hide the age of these singers, but, on the contrary, be proud that the girls became famous at their age:

3. Yulia Parshuta (former member of the Yin-Yang group), a native of the resort city of Sochi. This year she turned 27 years old.

2. Nyusha (Anna Vladimirovna Shurochkina), place of birth in Moscow, will celebrate her 25th anniversary in August of this year.

3. Nyuta Ranetka (Anna Dmitrievna Baidavletova) comes from Stavropol. This November, the talented and cheerful girl will turn 23 years old.

Honored and beloved singers of Russia

Everything comes and goes, but art and music live forever. Just as music, songs and singers whom we have known and loved for a very long time live in our hearts. For many they evoke fond memories of childhood, carefree youth or blooming youth. Their songs are stories of love, sadness, joy and destinies.

Folk singers of Russia represent entire eras both in the country’s musical chronicle and in the life of almost every citizen. There may be plenty of merits, awards and victories in various tops, but not everyone is awarded the title “People’s Artist of Russia (RSFSR, USSR)”.

1. Pugacheva A. B. received this title in 1985, 1980 and 1991.

2. Rotaru S.M. - in 1988

3. Allegrova I. A. - in 2010

4. Zykina L.G. - in 1973

5. Tolkunova V. V - in 1987

The most persistent

Musical preferences change with each new generation. Once upon a time they loved romances, then rock and roll, pop music, chanson, rap, and so on ad infinitum. It is very difficult to always be on the crest of a musical wave. But there are Russian singers whom we have known for a very long time, they grow creatively and change before the eyes of their beloved listeners.

Valeria recorded her first album in 1992. By the way, several years ago she received the title “People’s Artist”. To date, the singer has 15 albums (56 singles).

Angelika Varum released her first album in 1991; to date, 13 albums have been released.

Kristina Orbakaite released her first album in 1994, since then more than 150 songs and 10 albums have been released. Christina also participates in musicals, theatrical productions and acts in films.

Of course, these are not all Russian singers who have been delighting listeners with their singles for a long time. These are just the top three that were popular at the beginning career ladder and have not given up their position to this day.

The most scandalous singers

Russian singers do not earn their popularity through singles alone. Often, information from their personal life. So that the listener does not forget about the artist, even when he sabbatical, you need to make sure they talk about it. So the stars resort to various tricks in order to raise at least a little hype around their name.

Nyusha's outfits always cause interest and long discussions. Fashion critics and reporters attend her concerts with curiosity to express their opinions about the scandalous and revealing costumes.

From her first years on the stage, Masha Rasputina was famous for her spectacular introductions. Her appearance on stage and in the hall attracted the attention of television viewers, who watched the eccentric singer with surprise and a grin.

The viewer did not know what could be seen when Lolita Milyavskaya sings on stage. She always brought sparkle to the concert program.

The plastic surgery of singer Sasha Project also became a scandalous topic.

The press brings the illness stories of artists to fans with lightning speed. Not so long ago, everyone was worried about Zhanna Friske and horrified by how the fate of Tamara Miansarova turned out.
