Do you know that the idea of casting inThe live broadcast and the presentation of the material in the form of a reality show does not belong to the Meladze brothers, not to Konstantin Ernst, but to the former producer of Alsou - Valery Belotserkovsky? Unfortunately, the idea was not realized by the production center "Megapol", but after a few months, the sensational project "Factory" started.
How to create a group of "love stories"
In early 2002, on MTV and majormusic radio stations sounded information about the casting in the future female team of Valery Belotserkovsky. The office of the producer center Megapol began to storm young and promising girls from all over Russia and the near abroad. The selection of candidates for three months lasted, but, unfortunately, in closed mode. The reality show failed to start. And yet, as a result of auditions and samples, four beautiful girls with good vocal and angelic appearance were selected. So the love stories group began its creative way. This is exactly the kind of team that the producer wanted to create, who believes that there are already enough incompetent and depraved singers in the domestic show business. Maya, Olya, Zhenya and Kristina - these are the names of the first and most successful team members.
Band producer
Who became the ideological inspirer and organizergroups? This is a famous Russian producer Valery Belotserkovsky. His name, probably, will not say anything to the ordinary man in the street, but people who are interested in Russian variety art know it. In the 90s it was one of the luminaries of the musical Olympus, who presented such singers as Vadim Baykov and Alsou to Russia. After the latter left for solo swimming, little was known about the head of the Megapol production center. He waited and looked for real talent. In 2002, his brainchild became the Love Stories group, in 2013 he presented Anastasia Altman and the men's team Invoice.
Valery Belotserkovsky is married and has three children. With his wife, Natalia, he lived in a civil marriage for a long time, until in 2013 the couple legalized their relationship.
Team members
The group "Love Stories", whose composition has changedover the years, repeatedly, she managed to become a springboard for many now interesting personalities and young singers. Information about the participants is extremely small and, nevertheless, we will try to study each of them.
So, Skopich Maya, Zhenya Huseynova, StrizhnevaChristina (girl in glasses) and Olya Sidorova (nicknamed “Ryzhik”) are the first members of the “Love Stories” team. The group, Masha Kozhevnikova, in which the casting also took place, was conceived as a quintet. But in the end, the ugly nature of the girl did not allow her to continue her singer's career, and there were four participants left in the team. Lida Komissarova and Uliana Samorukov are also listed as former members of the first team, but the “Love Stories” group did not post photos with them on the official website, and they did not leak to the press.
Already being a famous lady of the world and planninga career as a public figure, Masha mentioned the singer's experience. It is interesting that only now the fact of the participation of the actress from “Univer” in the team “Love stories” became known. Maria Kozhevnikova, whose support group is growing daily in social networks, told me in an interview that, having neither a voice nor a musical education, she was credited as a soloist, but she was ready to learn and sing, and not to wash the dishes after the producer. Perhaps Kozhevnikova wanted to show that, despite her youth, she has a rich life experience.
In different periods, such famous soloists as Natalya Podolskaya and Sati Kazanova took part in the collective.
Hits
The first hit, released a month aftercreating a team, became the song "School". After the rotation on all radio stations in the country, the producer shot a clip for this song. The video work turned out to be touching and not similar to other products on the stage, it looked like retro. The actor Yegor Beroev was involved in the shooting of the video, and he took part in many videos of the girls. Three months later, having developed the repertoire, the band gave the first live concert.
This was followed by hits such as "Three Nights"“How is that?”, “The Way Home” and “Tell Me Why.” By the way, the last two clips were recorded by a group of three people. Already in 2005, the composition of the trio changed again, all previous participants left it and were replaced by new, no less promising girls.
The last album of the group has incorporated 22 melodious compositions. The most popular of them are “Shakespeare”, “Come back”, “Good night, love”, “First time”, “Only for you”.
The collapse of the team
In its original form, the quartet existedjust a year. After some time, it was left by a member of Eugene, and the group "Love Stories", a photo of which increasingly began to flash on the pages of gossip, turned into a trio.
The girls continued to work, performed touching songs, shot great videos.
But immediately after the end of the contract, each of themgone my way. Already in 2010, Maya Gubenko-Skopich began to perform solo and released the first video for the song “A moment before the winter”. The fate of the other former members of the trio is not known.
During the thirteen years of its existencethe team left the old participants and replenished the new ones. And, nevertheless, today the group "Love Stories" goes on tour through the cities of Russia, makes clips, gives interviews. The producer of the group often attracts their wards to all sorts of charity events.
Group "Love Stories": the composition of 2015
Today the team exists and develops.His new participants - Vika, Sveta, Nastya and Dina - have already managed to win the love of the public. The general concept of the group remains the same - pretty girls, without a hint of licentiousness and vulgarity, sing about their feelings and in each video they tell all new love stories. Girls improve their talent and strive to become mature artists. In the future, it is possible that some of them will choose a solo career, but for the time being “Love Stories” in full force is performing and delighting the audience.
