Song–2001

Song-2001 (Russian: Песня-2001) Russian romantic musical drama-comedy is a 2001 film.

Plot
An article from the newspaper Trud: “Quail, horrible, stuffed,” What a cruel art it is — pop music, how many truly talented people it “grind”. Recall what songs were issued 15 years ago, for example, by Igor Nikolaev: one “Ballet” is worth what... But how many will be able to sing at least one of his melodies, say, from the current New Year’s TV show “Song 2001”?

Alas, both the author and the performer Alena Sviridova turned sour, Philipp Kirkorov looked faded (despite the flowery of the outfits), and from the speech of Alexander Malinin, only the message that the wife Emmushka raised his children Frolushka and Ustinyushka was remembered - the fact is certainly pleasant, but not directly related to the professional activities of the singer.

On the verge of sliding into complete banality - Lolita with its author Mikhail Orlov. Nadezhda Babkina, in my opinion, is already beyond the line separating the concert from the tavern. Sasha Buynov switched to a cozy, trouble-free chanson about friendly gatherings in the old kitchen with warm vodka... Discarded the “unnecessary” ironic intonation of “Disco Crash”, which presented some kind of music last year, and the hit “New Year is knocking on the window,” now directly savoring the demonstratively illiterate texts of its author Alexei Ryzhov.

The words of the songs are worth a special mention. On "Song 2001" there was a parade of pearls. There’s the ambiguous “I’ll cry and leave” Konstantin Arsenyev performed by Tatyana Ovsienko (it’s not clear if Tanya will make her cry or the one who made her cry)... There’s a pretentious and meaningless one: “I believe in the infinity of every moment on earth... my memory breaks into whiskey, I fall into pieces... I did not have time to redo the rule, quail, horrible, full of words... "This is the work of Eva Polna in the interpretation of "Guests from the Future". Dear Eve, what is it about?

Examples of outright illiteracy are numbers. Even the experienced Joseph Kobzon did not hesitate to sing: "Firewood Logs" is a phrase invented by a certain Boris Rodin. The true reserve of such examples is the song of Jasmine, which is being furiously untwisted today, which, under the dictation of the "poetess" Inessa Kaminsky, "multiplying love, shared (what, whom? - SB) only for two." So, multiplying the "imagery" by an open tongue-tied tongue, these glorious girls turned the "tit into a crane" (and not into a crane). And after that they are still outraged by the hero of one of the songs, whose intentions are not quite clear to them: "How to understand you?" - although it’s just right to ask this question to themselves...

In fairness, I note that there were really successful songs in the program. For example, “Veterok” by Igor Matvienko –Alexander Shaganov performed by the “Lube” group, where there is warmth, and unremarkable sadness, and a hint depicted the fate of a nonsense Russian man... The concert was attended by Valery Leontyev, Sofia Rotaru, who sings from year to year only better, Oleg Gazmanov, whose long-known song "My Only" I put "my only" for these two evenings, "five". As for Alla Pugacheva, who had not appeared on Song of the Year for a long time, her very release, of course, was doomed to a standing ovation. But Kristina or, say, Als had to earn her standing ovation “in full”. Alsou was inspired by her undisclosed inner romance even by the author, over whom, of the serious critics, only the lazy, Igor Krutoy, is not ironic. Igor Yakovlevich (he is also the producer of the entire program) for a moment left his usual sweet and sour musical mood and created a truly passionate melody, albeit with a flat name: "When love comes to me."

In the rest, “Song of the Year” remained itself, that is, a fragment of our pop art and our life. And as flat as always (and sometimes stupid and even boorish), the hosts “pinned up” (there were already four of them this time), and the violinists on the stage just as simple-heartedly bowed to the sound of the guitar pouring from the speakers...

After the festival, the song of the year concert was held in Israel.
