We want to show you another Lorak - caring, gentle, homely. Such, what OK! saw Ani in her leading role- in the role of mother.

BUTneither, this week you will celebrate your birthday. Do you love this holiday?

As a child, I probably loved more, but now it’s not that I love less, I just treat him more meaningfully. If as a child you expect gifts on your birthday, then, having matured, you yourself love to make gifts and get great pleasure from it. I no longer expect any material things on this day, I want impressions, emotions.

I think yes. In general, we wanted to do it on the twenty-seventh of September, right on my birthday, but something didn’t match, and I decided: if it doesn’t stick right away, we’ll choose another date, closer. For my whole team, we celebrate my birthday on October 7 on the stage of Crocus. And I'm terribly worried. "Carolina" has already been awarded as the best show, and this obliges. When a viewer goes to the “best” show, we cannot disappoint them. We slightly modified the program: there are new hits, I will sing a song that has appeared only recently. Igor Krutoy and Igor Nikolaev wrote it to me. crazy beautiful song.

Is the song about love?

Yes. ( Smiling.) As a rule, the most wonderful stories that touch hearts, they are about love. And often about unhappy love. Who truly loves must always be ready to strike, because perfect love can not be. It's only on beautiful photos- family, lawn, everyone is so smiling. But life is full of different colors. And not everyone has enough spiritual maturity to appreciate that you have real happiness in your hands, that you need to fight for this happiness, you need to work on relationships in the name of love. I believe that the ability to love is the same talent as the ability to sing, draw, bake bread, teach.

Do you think that everyone, without exception, has the ability to love?

Absolutely. We all have a need to give love and to be loved. It’s just that not everyone can “unpack” themselves and pull feelings out. Some people never succeed in this all their lives, but for someone it is pronounced from birth. Here I am looking at my daughter. It is immediately clear from her that her mother went on stage until the seventh month: Sonechka was given the desire to give joy, to cause smiles. All her people are wonderful, there are no bad people. She is very loving with us, and this is another extreme, we have to adjust so that she does not love everyone so much. ( Laughs.) You can not kiss, hug and stroke everyone. But this is our child.

Wonderful child! At what point did you decide for yourself that not all people are equally good?

Probably when I first fell in love. I happened unrequited love in the pioneer camp. I watched this boy from around the corner, but he was in the senior detachment, and I did not dare to say that I liked him. And then I heard that he expresses himself ugly and behaves very rudely, and that's it - love has passed. Because I fell in love with the image, invented it, created such a prince, endowed it with qualities that he didn’t even have close. Because endorphins, butterflies in the stomach - you do not see flaws, everyone sees, but you do not. But the opposite happens. You look at a man: he is inconspicuous in appearance, a man himself and a man, and suddenly some kind of life situation when this inconspicuous person performs an act. You think: “God, I would never have thought that such a beautiful human being is hiding behind this appearance.” Let there be surprise people in good sense, how...

Was Murat a surprise for you, or did you invent him?

I think it's both. It is clear that in the beginning we were connected by love. But then, when he opened up, I fell in love with him even more. And so the good always goes with the bad together. It's like in a dish: a little salt, a little sugar, a little bitterness - for balance. It is clear that with a long conversation you will learn something and not the most pleasant. We are living people, not angels in the flesh. And since we are brought down to earth to become better, as I imagine, we must work on our souls. What are we here for? With some kind of talent, everyone fulfills his mission. Murat's mission is to be with me and help me.

Is that what you decided by default, or does he also think so?

He himself once said to me: “God sent me to you so that I would take care of you, because where are you without me ?!” It's on stage that I'm such a supergirl. In life, I’m not that helpless, I just love it when they open the door to me, give me a hand, I love it when they bring coffee to bed. This may be loved by many, but I really need it. ( Laughs.) On stage, I give a lot, and it is important for me that when I come home, there is native person surrounding me with warmth and care. In general, I believe that a man plays a key role in a woman's life. Because when there is a caring person nearby, worthy man then a woman can be beautiful. Even dresses fit well on her, because she does not get fat, so as not to disappoint her man.

And I, on the contrary, noticed that as soon as a girl gets married, she immediately gets into jeans, sneakers and stops using cosmetics. Why should she? She is no longer looking.

And what is the end of this relationship? It seems to me that a man should not like such a change. He married another, he chose her, she touched him. This image is now always with him, he wants to live with this image. I remember very well: when I gave birth to a daughter, Murat brought me my photo from Eurovision and said: “I want the one I took. Can it be like this? Can this picture be returned?

I wonder what you answered him?

She replied that I want that too. ( Laughs.) But you can’t catch a fish from a pond without difficulty, so I began to work on myself. It was, of course, not easy, but it is even more difficult to keep fit every time, because there are many temptations around. This is a constant work, and the artist in general should not only keep the bar, but raise it a little, because there is already a queue behind you ... stage to be the best, the most beautiful. And for this you need to work, work, work.

You haven't starred with Sophia for glossy magazines for quite some time. What were you afraid of?

For example, on your shooting, and this was the second professional shooting in Sonya's life, there was such a moment. She says in my ear: “Mommy, you know, I like it better when I shoot alone.” ( Laughs.) She is in the spotlight, she is praised, she is told how beautiful she is. Sonechka is a coquette, she made eyes at your photographer, made everyone laugh, bathed in it, just like a real artist. For little man such things can be dangerous, so they should be dosed, I don’t want it to develop into some kind of narcissism when girls sleep with a mirror.

Children in early age very egocentric, they need not just attention, they need all the attention of their mother. How do you explain to her why you work so hard?

I constantly tell her that mommy works, that toys are bought with the money that mommy earns with hard work. I started to accustom her to work early too: “Collect the toys, then we will watch a cartoon.” It is very easy to spoil, especially since she is alone, it seems that she does not need to share with anyone. This is me from large family and I always knew that I could not eat all the raspberries, because, besides me, there are two more brothers. I want her to grow up a good man, it's important to me. I bring up in her kindness, empathy, mercy, but sometimes I am strict. I used to think that everything can be solved only with love, but no, sometimes discipline is needed. Sometimes you need to say that so that the child moves.

When does Sofia realize that her mother is no longer joking?

I have an intonation that she doesn't like. She even asks: "Don't talk to me so disgustingly." I very rarely turn on this intonation, it’s hard for me to leave later, I’m also emotional. But if this is not included, then you no longer exist - there is only she and her desires. I'm sure my personal experience help me bring out the best in her. The daughter should know that I am her best friend, that I can tell everything. And for me it is also a school. Now I understand what a feat women with many children accomplish. My mother had three children, she was a single working mother. How is this possible?

Did you treat your mother differently when you yourself became a mother?

Of course, I am incredibly grateful to her for the fact that we grew up healthy, that we grew up, although not in abundance, but we had a mother, that our mother loved us. Until the age of six, she was there, it was then that I went to a boarding school, but it was a necessary measure. In the boarding school we had everything: food, clothes, and care was what could be in those conditions. At least we weren't outside.

You didn't rebel? Did you run away from boarding school?

No, I was interested there. You run away when you get bullied, and I was the school's favorite. Firstly, in the first grade, I immediately declared that I would be an artist, and began to participate in all amateur performances. I started to bring the first places to the school, and I was respected, loved.

And there was no envy?

Somehow strange, there was less envy and anger in the boarding school.

Maybe you just didn't pay attention to it?

Perhaps, but before, the children were kinder. In the boarding school, we were all united. What do we have to share? We all ate together, slept together, no one had anything. I knew that in a year I would be wearing the pants that a girl in a class above wears. There was some leveling in this need. But we soon realized that there is no value in things. Today I have one clothes, tomorrow I will have another.

Now is a completely different time: people suffer from materialism, fixated on prosperity. Sophia is brought up in different conditions than you were at the time.

Therefore, I inspire her that happiness is not in this, that matter cannot be higher than the soul. Every year we collect toys that she no longer plays with for those children who do not have toys. For her, of course, this is torture every time, from time to time she changes her mind, but more often I manage to convince her. Today, yes, everything has turned upside down in the world: we are told that the rich are better than the poor, that wealth is the main thing to strive for. But you should not strive for this, it will come to you by itself. The main thing is to be useful to the world, to do something, to create something, to be a person that everyone wants to do business with. If you learn to love people for real, and everything will turn out great for you. Because... What is neighborly love? This means that you build relationships with a person on the principle of "he is you." Love your neighbor as yourself. And they will love you back too. Here Igor Yakovlevich Krutoy just called and said: “I wrote a song for you. I want to give it to you."

Miracles only happen to those who believe in them. Don't you think so?

I am absolutely sure that there are miracles, but they are not open to everyone. No need to pretend, you need to enjoy life, try to be a kind, bright person. This is also work. I came to this through my mistakes, analysis, work on myself. But I think it's the only one correct form existence - to be sincere, open, loving. Because if you behave differently, there is a danger of waking up in the morning and not finding people nearby. That is, they may be, and even a lot, but they will be as fake as the feelings that you express. As long as you have money, recognition, then friends are around ... But sometimes it happens that suddenly there are no friends, no one calls.

Have you had such a moment, or is it just your inference?

There was a moment in my life when I experienced this feeling. It was my birthday the day before and a large number of friends congratulated me with the words: “You are incredible. I am your friend and you can always rely on me." And then some inexplicable misunderstanding happened, when some labels were undeservedly hung on me, and many “friends” turned away from me. I had to make excuses all the time. Although for what? For the fact that I took the position of tolerance, love for everyone without exception, for the fact that I do not divide people according to national grounds, by skin color, religion ... Here the moment of truth came: I kind of became a little unprofitable for friendship. Those people who were with me yesterday and told me how incredible I am, immediately disappeared. And if they just disappeared. These people started talking nasty things about me. I looked at this new reality for me and did not understand anything. How? For what? What did I do to you? And they succumbed to some kind of excitement ... But I was able to see the real faces of people, as if they had torn off their masks. How would I know they were wearing masks? It's a shame that I still can't understand how I offended them.

Didn't hurt anything. It’s just that you are successful and beautiful, everything is fine in your life. You judge by yourself, but people are different. Anger, envy - it's from inferiority.

Yes, I agree, you need to be a holistic person in order to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. Apparently, this was my price for success, apparently, I flew high, I felt what I had achieved, I got off the ground. ( Smiling.) But now I have with me those people who stayed close these days. I say at almost all my concerts: "Good always triumphs over evil." I believe in it, it guides me through life. Because once upon a time I could only dream that a small part of what happened in my life would really happen. When I recently went on stage in St. Petersburg, David Foster, a sixteen-time Grammy winner, the author of the song I Will Always Love You, accompanied me, and I sang this song on stage. If I, a little girl from the city of Kitsman, were then told " world star David Foster will play for you and you will sing a Whitney Houston song on stage, I would go crazy.

But you announced to everyone in the first class that you would sing. So it was in you.

It's just the power of desire. I believed in it and went to it, worked hard for this. Sometimes they say to me: “You just got lucky. I don’t have those conditions right from the start.” What kind of conditions? We must tear, go forward, believe in your dream. And people give up, give up, feel sorry for themselves. Do you have arms and legs? What's wrong? Live, work, achieve - opportunities are given to everyone. How much would a blind person give for sight!

You have concerts in London scheduled for November. The desire to perform in the British capital came from you, or were you invited?

It was our desire, we turned to partners, and they believed in this idea. Yes, this is an amazing event for which we are specially preparing. On November 26 on the Troxy stage I will show a full-fledged show "Carolina" with 3D graphics, ballet, musicians, there will be various tricks, disappearances ... Before London, we will show this program in St. Petersburg on November 10. In general, this year was successful for us: we traveled across America, were in Germany, in Spain, in the south of Russia, in the Baltic states. Soon London. And today I am close to my cherished goal - to perform at the best venues in the world. I want to go on stage at Madison Square Garden...

And one day win a Grammy?

Yes, but first I would like to sing cool song, which would touch hearts, and as a result - get a Grammy. Because I have enough figurines. I don’t want candy right away, I want to do something so that the candy becomes a reward.

Your horoscope is Libra. Do you often manage to find balance in life?

The moments when I achieve absolute harmony are very rare. But maybe this is life, because I'm never bored, I'm always in a state of search, overcoming the situation. But there is no aggression in me, I am an understanding person. It is easy for people with me, because I always try to get into a position, to understand. But! Recently, I came to the conclusion that only “my” people should be with me: those who share my values ​​and views. Everything should be for love: work, children, and life. That's the beauty of it. Let it be an illusion, an ideal... if everything was for love, how beautiful our world would be. But you create your own happiness. If today you are not where you would like to be, the answer must be sought in yourself. So go ahead and start today. I believe in it, I live it.

The singer spoke about her attitude towards Ukraine.

After a long silence, the popular singer Ani Lorak, who now lives in 3 countries, again declared herself. In a recent interview, the artist touched upon important topics of returning to Ukraine, true friends, plans and family, Hoch.ua reports.

38-year-old Ani Lorak, who is periodically suspected of a second pregnancy, gave candid interview Ukrainian publication "KP in Ukraine", revealing many interesting and personal facts.

During the interview, Ani Lorak, who recently spoke about Ukraine at one of the concerts, admitted that she dreams of performing again at the most large venues in Ukraine and even makes plans for this. She also promised to release several songs in Ukrainian.

"With the greatest pleasure, I return to Ukraine, to Kyiv. This is my Motherland, which I loved, love and will love. It is impossible to describe this feeling in words, because this music of love sounds inside you. My concerts and tours in my native country are always special feeling, and today I really miss it, I miss the Ukrainian stage and the audience. I would like the final concerts of my show "Karolina" to be held in Kyiv - we are now thinking about it. "

Very soon, Ani Lorak will present a new concert program, where she will appear in a new image and with a new musical repertoire. In the meantime, she is undergoing a reassessment of values. In particular, her circle of friends has changed a lot.

"What can I say, it has changed a lot - in Lately I have experienced many disappointments human actions and consequently sadness. I was faced with the need to "re-account", "re-evaluate" people - many took off their masks. And before that, you didn’t feel anything and didn’t suspect, because they spoke with a smile on their faces exactly the words that you wanted to hear from them. And then - a click, like in a movie. And the moment of truth comes, people show their essence, which absolutely does not coincide with the idea of ​​them that you had. It's sad, it hurts. But the main thing is to remember that your closest friends are family. I have very few friends outside of my family. For me, “friend” is a very significant concept, I don’t scatter such words.

Carolina also spoke about Sonya's 5-year-old daughter. The girl grows very artistic: she loves the stage, sings, recites poetry and even appeared in a photo shoot, however, Ani Lorak does not want to follow in her footsteps.

"She grows up as a musical girl and constantly shows her artistic nature. She is open, attentive to everyone and loves people very much. Murat and I even sometimes make remarks to her that she loves them too much. Everyone who comes to our house, everyone, whom we see at meetings, Sofiyka wants to hug and kiss. “Sonechka, you can’t do that!” - “But what should I do, I love people so much!” She is a sun person, she always wants to give gifts to everyone, she warms everyone with her warmth It's too early to think about what profession my daughter will choose - for now we just observe her and give her the opportunity to enjoy the joys of a simple childhood, which, unfortunately, I myself did not have. her logic is well developed, she continues to learn three languages.

In addition, Ani Lorak, who delights fans slim body and a steel press, told how she manages to stay in perfect shape.

“Without internal discipline and willpower, breakdowns would be inevitable! Every morning begins with a charge. I also monitor nutrition and purity of thoughts ( healthy body- good, but without inner work not enough). Well, of course, I'm a living person, I can be lazy, feel an irresistible desire to eat "Napoleon" late at night, fried potatoes, a piece of lard. The main thing is to find a balance between the streams of desires and clearly prioritize. I have a priority to be healthy and slim, which I clearly follow. Two or three times a week I try to go to the gym to give strength training to areas that are especially important for girls.

Channel One held a vote on Odnoklassniki, figuring out which artists the audience wants to see in Ogonyok in new year's eve. You and Grigory Leps topped the rating. Were you happy with this news?

No matter how many victories and awards there are, it is very flattering and honorable to take a high place in such a large-scale independent survey! Yes, we have been in love with the audience for more than twenty years, but what happiness in again find out that there are so many fans and love is so mutual. It gives strength and inspiration, and you want to do even more than you did before.

- Which of your victories and prizes are the most significant for you?

Everything! I participated in all music competitions and festivals that I only knew about, because it was my only chance to express myself. In life, I am more modest and quieter, but if I go on stage, I must fill it with myself, and no one can stand next to me! This is my territory. And so it has always been. At school, I did not miss a single amateur art competition, winning them became sort of a common thing, but the enthusiasm still did not decrease. And the prizes were of paramount importance.

Mom could not buy toys: we lived poorly, we were even sent with my brothers for several years to a boarding school. But I also wanted to have new toys! And I found a way out - I began to win them. What is the first prize in this competition? Teddy bear. Great, he will be mine. She went out and sang so that the jury would not even consider the option of giving the teddy bear to another participant. At the age of fourteen, I took second place at the Primrose festival held in Chernivtsi. A furniture factory became its sponsor, and I won a sofa that turned into a bed. We did not have a normal bed then, and we were terribly delighted with a fortunate combination of circumstances. The sofa still stands in an apartment in Chernivtsi, although it is upholstered with a different fabric.

And at the age of 17, in 1995, I won the Morning Star, already famous throughout the CIS. By the way, then I was given a certificate for the purchase of shoes, and I bought shoes made of genuine leather - it was an event! A year later, I performed in New York at the Big Apple Music World Competition for Young Performers and received the Grand Prix from the hands of Igor Krutoy. I have always been obsessed with the desire to become the best, to win the attention of the public, to get the highest mark in all competitions.

- But Eurovision stands apart?

Still would. We won silver in 2008, which is actually more expensive than gold, since I went there for the first time and the song "Shady Lady" is still on all the charts, no one can forget it. Even in my new show "DIVA" it will sound, because I discovered the "diva", the divine woman, in myself precisely thanks to the "mysterious lady" - "shady lady".

That is, Philip Kirkorov discovered it in me, but at first I resisted. It all started one fine morning with his call: "Hello, this is Philip." - "Which Philip?" - "Kirkorov". - "Yes, I'm listening." - "I wrote you a song." I was surprised: at that time we were little acquainted: we were introduced to each other at some event. I answer: “Now I’m resting in Thailand, I can’t speak. Let's talk about it when I get home." However, he did not wait until the end of my trip, he called after dinner: "I sent you a song, listen." - "I can not". - "No, do it." I had to listen in the evening. We met in Kyiv, he asks: “Well, how?” - “I don’t know ...” Then his huge eyes doubled in size: “What do you mean “I don’t know” ?!”

- This diva slept inside me. Philip managed to see it, reveal it and give me the necessary strength and confidence. Photo: Lyuba Shemetova

- Why did you answer like that?

The song that he offered me was not in the style in which I worked. I sang pop-rock, and Philip offered me an incendiary disco. He convinced me: “Don’t you understand that you are a diva, a chic “shady lady”? You must know this for yourself." - "I know this about myself, but this music is not about me." - “Do you think? Record a song and you'll realize how wrong you are." And during the recording, a miracle happened: I suddenly realized that this song was created for me, that this diva was sleeping inside me, but Philip managed to see it, open it and give me the necessary strength, confidence. In Serbia, at Eurovision, we became favorites from the first rehearsals. The fans carried me in and out of the hall in their arms. And at a performance in live, when there are only three minutes to win over the audience, I was able to do it, although there were so many obstacles!

the day before dress rehearsal we were told: “Sorry, your set cannot be used on our stage, it is too big.” I was horrified: “How can you not?! We have a number, we rehearsed it. How can I perform? - "You see, this design simply will not fit on the stage." And then my beloved husband Murat told me: "Don't worry, I'll decide everything, go and have a rest." I went to my room, put on an anti-stress mask, lay down and began to meditate: “I love people, I love this world, everything is going great ...” And Murat is gone for an hour, two, three ... At five in the morning his call is heard. I ask where he is. Answers: "Philip and I are sawing the scenery." - "How?!" - “None of the stage workers dared to saw, I asked what was not included and how many centimeters needed to be removed. And he asked for a saw.”

- Has he ever drunk before?

Yes, he is a young man with arms. However, still not a top-class carpenter ... Therefore, the structure climbed onto the stage, but began to stagger a little. At the rehearsal, I climbed on it and felt that it was swaying in time with the movements. Plus she's slippery and I'm in heels. Philip says: “You are kind of insecure. Why are you staggering, can you stand normally? - “I’m standing normally, this scenery is staggering. I can fall off!” - “No one cares, look for a way to keep balance. This is your chance to become famous all over the world, not mine.” Kirkorov turned me on so much, he made me angry. I think: oh so, well, now how to get up!

- Murat is able to see something close to him not only in Turkish culture, he understands that everything in the world is very closely connected. Photo: Lyuba Shemetova

- In this story, in addition to your dedication to work, Murat's concern for you is also visible ...

My husband is really caring. For my sake, he moved from his native Turkey to a foreign country, left his home, loved ones, work. It was entirely his decision.

How was the problem of language solved?

We spoke English with each other for the first few years. By the way, thanks to this, I pulled up my tongue very well. Murat and I met in 2005, in 2006 we started living together, and in 2008 at Eurovision I spoke without an interpreter to both journalists and the public, spoke at all press conferences.

My husband taught Russian in courses in Kyiv. Stickers were pasted on the refrigerator, cabinets, table and in general on all things in the house, where the Russian names of objects were written with Latin letters. Now he speaks fluent Russian, negotiates business.

- Your daughter hears Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish and English from birth. Talented for languages?

Sonia is talented in everything! It seems to me that she absorbed the best that is in mom and dad. Ukrainian and Polish blood flows in my veins, my husband has Georgian and Turkish. These are all musical nations, and Sonya is musically gifted, so she perfectly perceives languages ​​\u200b\u200bjust by ear. I think four languages ​​is just the beginning for my little polyglot.

Sonechkin's godfather, Philip Kirkorov, read to his daughter artistic career. He says: “Get ready, whether you like it or not, it will happen anyway. You just gave birth to an artist. This is her calling." She goes to ballet school and figure skating, her bright artistic nature manifests itself here and there.

I directly tell my husband what kind of surprise I want to see under the Christmas tree and where it is sold. Photo: Lyuba Shemetova

- Does Sonya want to be a singer like her mother?

Of course! Constantly sings mother's songs. Recently, we solemnly said goodbye to my show "Carolina", and the crown remained from it. When my daughter saw this splendor, her eyes lit up: “Can I try it on?” How did she dance in it!

- Soon New Year, has your crowned lady already written a letter to Santa Claus?

She doesn’t know how to write yet, so the nanny will write under her dictation, and then she will give a message to us so that we send Santa Claus along with our own: my husband and I also write to Grandfather.

What is she asking for?

I don’t know what my daughter wants this year, but usually she asks to give her princess dolls, fairy-tale castles in which they will live ...

- How do you and your husband solve the gift issue?

I like the right gifts: which will either come in handy or just improve your mood. I would be happy to buy things that my husband is guaranteed to be delighted with, but he always says that he does not need anything. And I try to find, for example, a tie in a color that matches his new shirt perfectly. And I, unlike Murat, always need everything, and I directly say what kind of surprise I want to see under the Christmas tree and where it is sold.

- Where will you celebrate 2018?

On New Year's Eve I will perform, then we will celebrate the holiday with my family, and in the first days of January we will fly to warmer climes. In what specifically - I don’t know, this is what my husband does. But I know that for the New Year, as always, we will have a live Christmas tree, and on it are toys that we ourselves will make from colored paper. Sonya and I make birds, lanterns, snowflakes, as I did in childhood: we cut them out, glue them, tie strings to them. The daughter so proudly shows everyone: “These are my toys!”

- It is clear that you, the diva and "shady lady", need to be in perfect shape. But during the New Year you allow yourself not to follow a diet?

Of course, I'm a living person. But I don’t break down and don’t eat everything until the old New Year. I actually eat a little. Every year one story is repeated: I cook a meat salad, which is usually called “Olivier”, a herring under a fur coat, other goodies, and I worry, suddenly something is not enough for someone, and everything remains for January 1 and 2.

Duet with Philip Kirkorov. Photo: Lyuba Shemetova

- Did Murat taste Olivier the first time?

Yes, at least he liked my version right away. I add not boiled sausage to the salad, but half-smoked sausage, more peas and more corn. He generally likes everything that I cook. And he roasts meat amazingly!

- Did Turkish traditions come to your house with Murat?

Husband doesn't really care national traditions. From childhood I went to English school, traveled a lot, he is a man of the world.

By the way, since we are talking about traditions... Let me tell you about my New Year's tradition. This is my secret, which I want to tell the whole world. When the chimes begin to strike twelve, you need to take a pre-prepared list of your desires and quickly read them. Important point: you need to write as if the desired event has already happened. Not "I want to go to university", but "I went to university". It is necessary to read with absolute certainty that everything happened, and with gratitude to fate for this wonderful gift. At the moment when old year is replaced by a new one, a huge number of people dream of the best and kindest - and there is a lot of energy of love and hope in the world in these seconds. And the signal you give higher powers, very powerful! Everything that I wished for last year came true. I thanked fate that all my loved ones are healthy - and, fortunately, they are. And for the fact that I am beautiful and loved - as a woman and a singer. I thanked fate for the overwhelming success of the Carolina show, I performed with it for five years. And indeed, we finished it grandly! The only thing that has not yet been fulfilled is the wish for peace. When 2018 comes, I will definitely say: “Lord, thank you for bringing peace to the whole earth!” And I will also thank him: “Thank you for making my new show - “DIVA” - amazing!” Of course, in order for it to become beautiful and delight the audience, I not only make a wish, but also work endlessly. And even my daughter, who used to block my way, cried and asked: “Mommy, don’t leave, don’t leave, stay at home,” now she lets me go calmly and waits for her to watch her mother’s new show. I hope that "DIVA" will impress, in addition to my six-year-old child, millions of adult viewers. For this connected the best specialists We really set the bar very high. I hope those who come to a concert in Minsk on February 16, February 25 in St. Petersburg or March 3 in Moscow at the Olimpiysky will say that this is the most beautiful, vibrant and inspiring story they have ever seen! I want to tell the story of a woman from the stage, the story of her strength and beauty, and I passionately dream that "DIVA" will help every spectator to see the diva not in me, but in herself. Understand that she was always inside her. It's just that maybe she used to sleep, but now she woke up.

Igor Nikolaev
The godfather of the daughter of Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin Lisa believes that the girl is very similar to Alla Borisovna herself in childhood. Nikolaev has known the singer for decades: he played keyboards for three years in the Recital group, with which Pugacheva performed, before he decided to show her his songs. So he became the author of her hits. Nikolaev is proud that he was entrusted with the godfather, because this is a very responsible matter. | Photo: Global Look Press

But before that, Vicki and David considered the candidacies of other celebrities: Power and Heidi Klum, Prince William and Kate Middleton.

She admitted that she dreams of performing again at the largest venues in Ukraine and is even making plans for this. She also promised to release several songs in Ukrainian.

With the greatest pleasure I return to Ukraine, to Kyiv. This is my homeland, which I loved, love and will love. It is impossible to describe this feeling in words, because this music of love sounds inside you. My concerts and tours in my native country are always a special feeling, and today I really miss this, I miss the Ukrainian stage and the audience. I would like the final concerts of my show "Carolina" to be held in Kyiv - we are now thinking about it.

She grows up as a musical girl and constantly shows her artistic nature. She is open, attentive to everyone and loves people very much. Murat and I even sometimes make remarks to her that she loves them too much. Everyone who comes to our house, everyone we see at meetings, Sofia wants to hug and kiss. "Sonechka, you can't do that!" - "But what can I do, I love people so much!" She is a man-sun, she always wants to give gifts to everyone, she warms everyone with her warmth. It is too early to think about what profession my daughter will choose - for now we are just watching her and giving her the opportunity to enjoy the joys of a simple childhood, which, unfortunately, I myself did not have. She shows talents in all areas - she solves mathematical problems that are difficult for her age, she has a well-developed logic, she continues to learn three languages.

In addition, Ani Lorak, who delights fans and told how she manages to stay in perfect shape.

Without internal discipline and willpower, breakdowns would be inevitable! Every morning starts with a workout. I also monitor nutrition and purity of thoughts (a healthy body is good, but one cannot do without inner work). Well, of course, I'm a living person, I can be lazy, feel an irresistible desire to eat "Napoleon" late at night, fried potatoes, a piece of salsa. The main thing is to find a balance between the streams of desires and clearly prioritize. I have a priority to be healthy and slim, which I clearly follow. Two or three times a week I try to go to the gym to give strength training to areas that are especially important for girls.

Ani Lorak was so frank in a new interview. And we recall that recently.
