Diana, I know that you want to go to a music college in Moscow. We promise you that we will help you enroll,” said NTV General Producer Timur Weinstein.
He was supported by composer Igor Krutoy.
So that you have a place to live in Moscow when you come to study at college, I will give you an apartment on my own behalf,” he promised from the stage.
The girl, embarrassed, accepted congratulations. She says that, of course, she did not expect to win. Although it was immediately clear that Diana was among the favorites of this season. She has a very strong and beautiful voice. On YouTube, videos of her performances have already been watched more than 50 million times! Plus, her extensive experience of performing at other competitions helped her. Even before participating in “You’re Super!” Diana won a whole series of international and All-Russian competitions, and was also a participant in the “Voice” project. Children-4."
His first performance in “You’re Super!” “I dedicated it to my grandmother,” the girl said. - 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. She feels better now.
A girl calls the woman who raises her mom. He prefers not to remember his family. Diana lived with her for the first three years of her life, this was in Ussuriysk. The girl was the only one who survived the endless series of pregnancies of her drinking mother. But she was not happy with her daughter. She beat her, did not feed her, put out cigarette butts on her, and even tried to drown her in the bathtub. One day a girl was found on the street in winter, her collarbone was broken. The memory of life with “mom” will forever remain on Diana’s body - she is covered in scars.
None of the relatives wanted to take Diana in with them - they thought that she was mentally retarded. So the little girl ended up in an orphanage at the age of three. She was later taken in by a foster family. Diana asked her adoptive mother to take her as far as possible from her biological one. And Irina abandoned everything she had - her family and loved ones, and left her native Far East in Tolyatti. The adoptive 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 therapist. And she advised me to sing more to develop speech skills.
Last year, Diana was shown in “The Voice.” Children” - and the mother immediately reminded of herself and found her daughter through social networks. She started writing and threatened that she would take her in (the girl is not adopted 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 bad dream.
Now at Diana's 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 greeting from my mother - the consequences of a difficult childhood. What exactly is happening to Diana’s health and how she experiences her victory can be seen in the special documentary film"You are super! Before and After,” which is currently being prepared for broadcast and should be released in June.
