Last week, the group "VIA Gra" was in the middle of two scandals. First, the team stole the idea of the clip. Secondly, they "co-opted" a new soloist-ex-"brilliant" Ksenia Novikova.
"Arguments of week" met with members of the group Albina JANABAEVA and Meseda BAGAUDINOVA and frankly talked about their creative and personal plans.
- Let's start in order. There are still rumors that a third girl will join you ... And yet: how many soloists are expected in the band "VIA Gra"?
Albina : Now only two. As for the third - the situation is still unclear. I'll open the secret - the girl will definitely not be from the former composition of the group "VIA Gra", as this is often written.
- In the secular get-together actively rumors are circulating that Ksenia Novikova, ex-soloist of the group "Brilliant", is in talks with your producers about the work in the team ...
Mesed : The question is rather to the producers. I think that Ksyusha Novikova is a group "Brilliant", and we are a band "VIA Gra". That is completely different formats.
- Alena Vodonaeva, a former participant of Dom2, also did not fit your format?
Albina : As for Alena Vodonaeva, all these rumors are pure water of PR Vodonayeva herself.
- Is it difficult to get along with a brunette and brown-haired woman in one team?
Albina : Honestly, we are really different. Sometimes we can argue. For example, about the performances at the concert. We constantly prove something to each other. But, frankly, we do it for the best of reasons. Of course, this indicates that we are both stubborn. I - Aries on a horoscope, and for a year - Goat. Just a double blow. And I know that if I want something, I will definitely achieve it. Harmful happen. But what we do not take away from both of us is a purposefulness. If we set a goal, we will certainly achieve it. Although we have many similar interests. Still, both young girls. We can watch magazines together, go somewhere, talk ...
- How often do you need to help each other at work?
Mesed : Oh, yes, all the time! For example, if someone has torn pantyhose, you can sacrifice spare from your suitcase. Why not? After all, we are in the same team!
- In the group "VIA Gra" there is a tradition - to maintain a relationship with former soloists?
Meseda : We do not have such a tradition. But if people were friends and were close friends, they will continue to communicate. I'm in the band recently. Unfortunately, only a couple of months I managed to work with Vera Brezhneva. Sometimes we correspond by sms. Nadej Granovskaya is not personally known yet, but she called her several times. I really like her. I want to get to know her "live".
- Many artists today besides creativity are engaged in business. Do you have such plans?
Meseda : I see myself only in creativity. The next five years, I'm not going to leave VIA GRA.
Albina : I fully support Mesed. I have been in the band for so many years, and I never even had such a thought.
- And what about your political ambitions? Is there any desire to join any party?
Mesed : I'm afraid that I and politics are incompatible things.
Albina : During the years that I was in the group, we were invited many times to speak in support of this or that politician or party leader. But creativity is something neutral, not tolerated by political conjuncture or any political doctrine, so we always refused.
- How do you feel about the political situation in Ukraine? Are you satisfied with everything?
Albina : Unfortunately, very rarely I go there to have a certain opinion on this issue.
Meseda : Despite the fact that in Ukraine I visit more often than Albina, I do not have the time or energy to monitor all the vicissitudes of political life.
- Your new video is predicting a grand success. Tell us, what is so special about this video?
Albina : I would not like to disclose all the cards yet. But I can say that the shooting was really very difficult and extreme. As such, there is no plot - these are allegorical pictures of what the female soul is going through. In my opinion, every episode was a masterpiece. The clip was shot exactly two days without sleep and a break for lunch. Everything was so exciting - and the flights that we rehearsed, and immersion in the water. According to the story, I am lowered into a huge aquarium. Transparent and rather narrow. It began to be filled with warm water, but, as it usually happens, they overlooked: the water turned out to be cloudy. As a result, banks bought with distilled drinking water. And, of course, the water was not warm, but ice. What to do - had to dive. But this too was possible with difficulty. I even had to wear weights ...
"Simply put, the stone around your neck - and to the bottom?"
Albina : (Laughs.) Well, something like that. Weighting agent - 15 kg per waist. I experienced the most severe stress. I'm an uninhabited person - and that's it! It was necessary to dive beautifully, but for me it was an impossible task.
Mesed : In general, we are in grief in half, but we managed. The only negative - after the shooting had to throw beautiful dresses.
- There are rumors that recently you, Mesed, had a beloved man with whom a very serious relationship began ...
Meseda: In my life, there is no other half. I'm only six months in the team, so I'm not rushing to plunge headlong into my private life. All in good time, there is no need to rush anywhere. Now I'm engaged in creativity and work. I went to this all my life and am very glad that I can work in such a team.
- Albina, everyone knows that you have a wonderful son growing up. How often can you see it?
Albina : I'd really like to do it more often. Sometimes I so want to see my husband, a child, but the work takes a very long time.
- And who is raising a son?
Albina : Mom helps. But especially not yet use any educational programs. I just bring up the way I feel. I say that it's black, it's white, it's good, it's bad. Still, the child is only four years old. He is small, but basic things need to be pawned.
- Do you plan to grow a real artist from it?
Albina : I would not want my son to choose this path. And not because of the complexity of the profession. Business in an environment with which you often encounter in show business. Thank God, I am surrounded by people who are pleasant to me, close, loved and respected. But everywhere there is a cost of production, as they say. I would not want my son to be in a bad company. Therefore, it is better for him to stay away from show business.
