Among the musical competitions "Eurovision" is perhaps the prestigious and one of the most popular - the permanent audience of the event has more than half a billion viewers throughout the planet. It is clear that the mass of performers dream to participate in this competition, counting if not to win, then on worldwide recognition. However, those who for various reasons make a decision to ignore the European Song Competition.
Celebrities, refused to participate in Eurovision, - in the material 24cm.
Little Big.
The Russian music team Little Big was to go to conquer the main continental musical arena in 2020. But because of all sorts of prohibitions associated with the pandemic of coronavirus infection, continuing to this day to keep the inhabitants of the planet in fear, the plans were not given to happen - the competition was canceled.In 2021, it was possible to use his chance and try to get into the number of participants in Eurovision. The group refused - the musicians decided not to even participate in the national selection. Speaking of what a similar choice was motivated in Little Big, the leader of the group Ilya Prusikin said that the artists do not want their new composition to compare with the upper lines of ratings in the Hit of UNO last year.
Fortunately, the frontman of the team is confident, the existence of which began with a primarial joke, in Russia there are enough different talents that are able to represent the country on the European Song Competition not only in 2021, but also in the future.
It is worth noting that the clip on the Ilya song, UNO became the leader in the number of views on YouTube, gaining a record number of viewers. No one has achieved such a storming success from the moment of registration of the official channel "Eurovision" on video hosting. So concerns about the impossibility of repeating a similar Furior in group members look quite reasonable - hits are not born every day.
Nikolay Baskov
Among the celebrities that refused to participate in Eurovision, the famous Russian singer, for amazing vocal data called the "gold voice of the country", is Nikolay Baskov.
According to the star, his candidacy was considered as a participant in the competition in 2006, when the artist himself was not yet and 30. At that time, the singer, concentrated on the construction of an opera career, dissuaded his then mentor Montserrat Caballe, who advised the ward not to spray their efforts.
If it were not like a turn, Nikolai assures, he would certainly set off to conquer European listeners, since Eurovision Artist seemed to demonstrate a great chance for domestic performers to demonstrate the world's high quality Russian pop.
However, the Basque is recognized, he and now for the sake of interest would not refuse to go to the competition. But only under the condition that he would have been 29 years again. And so, despite regular invitations from the year after the year exporting executors from Russia and the CIS Philip Kirkorov, Nikolai prefers to stay at home. The artist also noted that recently the competition is overly politicized.
Sergey Zverev
Sergey Zverev in 2016 at the International Festival of Arts "Slavic Bazaar", held in Belarusian Vitebsk since 1992, stated that also belongs to the category of celebrities refused to participate in Eurovision.Champion of Europe and the World Barber Art and Showman argued that he repeatedly received invitations to participate as a candidate from a state state. Moreover, individual proposals were carefully worked out - with agreement, the artist would not have to take care of the dance, nor about the sign, or about the team as a whole.
Once, Sergey Zverev recognized, the temptation to enter the scene of the main European and continental song contest turned out to be difficult. Suggested to attract a shock artist to participate in Eurovision, representatives of the next unnamed country of the song was fantastic. According to the expression of celebrities, unreal. And guaranteed victory.
However, the question arose about where Zverev himself will live after Triumph, in which country. Yes, and it was unclear to the champion's hairdresser that later to do with this victory. After all, Eurovision is a contest for young. And not for those like him. Already confident in themselves.
So the artist who knows the price and keeps the confidence that, after going to the stage of this musical competition, will certainly become the winner, he decided to leave these "children's games" to those whom they actually are intended. Younger generations of talents.
Dimash Kudibergen
The famous singer, musician and composer from Kazakhstan Dimash Kudibergen also received an invitation to become a member of the European Competition. The artist was offered to speak for Russia. However, Dimash from a promising option refused.
The Contractor explained his position on this issue by the fact that he did not see the need for the current moment (and it is about 2020) to go at all to any competition, although it relates to a great respect for such an event as Eurovision.
Moreover, as a citizen of Kazakhstan Kudibergen correctly sees the alignment in which it is obliged to submit on all sorts of international festivals first of all the native Republic, and not speak on behalf of another state.
Unfortunately, Motherland Dimasha is not among the member countries of the European Broadcasting Union, and therefore it has no right to nominate its representatives to participate in the competition, which in 2021 will be held in Rotterdam. But Côtebergen, which appeared at one time in the Chinese show I am Singer, constantly visits the Slavic Bazaar and a number of other international music festivals.
Boris Moiseev
In 2009, Boris Moiseyev also filed an application for participation in Eurovision, but then the desire to speak at the main competition of European singers refused. The decision of the artist motivated the difficult financial situation associated with the crisis that was playing.According to the artist, the economic situation in the country and the world "broke" his desire to compete in vocal skills with representatives of other European states. On his shoulders and without this event, the preparation for which invariably requires serious money infants, hung responsibility for his team, at that time consisting of four dozen people.
And investments in preparation for participation in the competition would have made it impossible to the content of all workers on the artist of people. Especially since they would have to abandon the tours, which allow a similar group of workers, demanded for the formulation of colorful and spectacular shows, to ensure.
For Eurovision, Boris Moiseev was prepared by the composition created in collaboration with Dmitry Merzlikov and Anatoly Lopatin, as well as a high-quality room, which demonstrated the confidence of the artist, would not leave anyone out of the audience a foreign song contest.
Freedom-Jazz.
Not everything is so simple with the participation in Eurovision and in the Pozynzorberezhny performers. So, in 2019, the girls from the Ukrainian group Freedom-Jazz, who spent the 2nd place on the results of the national selection of participants for the competition, took off their candidates in the genre of Jazz-Kabare.
Officially, the team decided not to go to the event due to the probability of missing the benefit, which they promised a contract with an unnamed major European promoter. However, there was enough rumors and that the true reason for the refusal lies in the behavior of the national public television company of Ukraine (note), who tried to turn Eurovision-2019 into the arena of the political confrontation and the declaignation of the country's authorities.
Maruv
Information that the Freedom-Jazz team refusal to perform on Eurovision as a representative of Ukraine is associated with unacceptable actions mentioned note, there is a confirmation.For example, the next fact: the 1st place of the singer Anna Korsun, who took the 1st place, who took the 1st place to the listeners under the scenic pseudonym MARUV, also renounced participation in the music event. And just because of the conflict with a note, or rather, due to disagreement with the conditions set by the management of the Ukrainian television company, in his own wonderful "Mission of the Representative of Ukraine on Eurovision".
According to the artist, whose candidacy immediately aroused questions at the state level due to the Maruv tour in Russia, with which the Ukrainian leadership is trying to conflict since 2014, she has been offered bible conditions. And they could not agree on them.
In particular, Anna was forbidden to communicate with the press representatives without prior approval "from above" and engage in the scene improvisation. In addition, it was prescribed to fulfill all the requirements of the note, including non-direct directly to the international event.
Also Maruv considered unacceptable transformation of his own presentation to the advertising campaign of Ukrainian politicians trying through the Eurovision participants to prove its own consistency as a potential member of the EU and NATO.
Kazka.
It is noteworthy that the third participant in the Ukrainian national selection of 2019, the Kazka group, also refused to represent his own country in Europe.
Members of the team, who came from a proposal from the national public television company of Ukraine to perform on the competition instead of the MARUV and Freedom-Jazz who have relocated their candidates, spoke in that way, what they wish through their music to give people a pleasant minute, to combine souls and hearts, and not sow discord. And therefore, supporting the colleagues refused earlier, will not go to the competition, which leadership of the state seeks to politicize as much as possible.
"Zamete Galaste"
I did not hit the Eurovision and in 2021 a candidate from the Republic of Belarus "Galasi Zametta" group - in the composition of the team "I will teach" representatives of the competition saw a political context, as a result of which a ban was imposed on it.
But with a written song-written, the Basney happened like this. According to the leader of the Dmitry Buttakov Group, the reaction to the new text was expected - the refusal - and rapidly - the next day a negative answer came.
However, the frontman of the team in a similar decision did not doubt, accusing the qualifying committee of the competition in the duality of standards - on Eurovision easily, the compositions are easily skipped not just with suspicions, but with obvious political subtext. But only when it is advantageous to the charts with the characters.
Just this behavior of the organizers, the musician is sure, and serves the maximum politicization of the event, and not the content of the numbers submitted by the participants. So, the lyrics of the Basni lyrics were sent after the ban, according to the artist, the answer to the disapproval of the European Broadcasting Union of the initial composition. And the result was apparent in advance.
Thus, the Galaste Galaste Group becomes the latter in the selection of celebrities refused to participate in Eurovision. By the way, about the situation around the competition, which has long been transformed from the competition of talented performers in the Freikov show and the arena of the political struggle, the team promised to write a song of the corresponding content.
