The fate of the Ukrainian pop star Tina Karol is a vivid example of the fact that real talent, hard work and perseverance will always make their way. After all, few can proudly say:. And this despite the fact that at the age of 28 this fragile woman was left alone with her misfortune and with a 4-year-old child in her arms.

Today Tina Karol is the brightest star of Ukrainian showbiz, the best performer of Ukraine according to YUNA and Music Awards. She was awarded the title of Honored Artist in 2009 and People's Artist of Ukraine in 2017. She also, in addition to participating in solo concerts, for the past seven years - is a coach of the show "Voice of the Country" and "Voice. Children".

Long blond hair styled in Hollywood curls and bright red lipstick became the hallmarks of her image. Today - Tina is one of the most stylish and sophisticated stars of the pop scene, she is also the face of major domestic and foreign brands.

However, on the way to popularity, fame and an impeccably refined image, there were many successful and unsuccessful experiments, as well as a terrible tragedy that knocked down, but did not break the will of the singer.

Turning the pages of a biography

The real name of the famous Ukrainian performer is Tatiana Lieberman. The future star was born in January 1985 in the snowy town of Orotukan, Magadan Region. Here, in the north of Russia, at that time the girl's parents lived, engineers Grigory Samuilovich Lieberman, Svetlana Andreevna Lieberman (Zhuravel) and older brother Stanislav.

The girl was not even eight years old when a family from the Far North moved to her mother's small homeland, to the city of Ivano-Frankivsk, one of the most beautiful cities in Western Ukraine. There she spent her childhood and adolescence. Musically gifted Tatiana graduated from a music school in the piano class. In addition, the girl, who had a very beautiful voice, additionally attended vocal lessons from early childhood.

Even then, in childhood, the future star understood what she would do when she grew up. She dreamed of becoming a singer and confidently walked towards her goal step by step. Already at that time she was the little star of all school concerts and the constant soloist of an amateur ensemble.

Military ensemble soloist

Having received a school certificate, Tatyana Lieberman went to Kiev. There she easily entered the Glier School of Music, where she learned the subtle intricacies of pop vocals. In 2005, it was the vocal teacher who recommended the hardworking and talented young singer to audition for the capital's military ensemble. Of course, Tatiana, without hesitation, went to the casting and successfully auditioned. So the singer became a soloist of the Ensemble of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where she worked for two years in a purely male team. By the way, in parallel, the girl graduated from the National Aviation University in absentia with a degree in management and logistics.

A new name, a different fate

Tatyana went to all kinds of competitions and festivals, showed her songs to the stars. Twice she participated and played in the "Karaoke on Maidan" program, without getting into the cherished "Star Factory" of the Ukrainian spill - the "Chance" program. And when she decided to send an application for participation in the prestigious New Wave contest in Jurmala, she was advised to change her name and take a pseudonym. It turned out that it was not so easy to find a suitable name for an artist, and therefore a whole team worked on its creation, which thoroughly understands names and destinies..

Yes, whatever got there, she returned from there with absolute triumph. Almost all members of the jury gave her the highest marks, and Tina Karol took second place, receiving an award of $ 25,000. In addition, the Ukrainian woman received the Alla prize of 50 thousand dollars, which she was awarded by Pugacheva herself. And then the prima gave a sensible parting word to the young talent: "Girl, tear everyone!" And Philip Kirkorov, out of excess of feelings, called the young Ukrainian talent "a lighter".

And in Jurmala, Tina Karol was presented with a statuette in the form of a golden wave with 30 diamonds and offered to become the face of a brand company. No sooner had our starlet set foot on her native land, when she was handed a congratulatory telegram from the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anatoly Gritsenko: And right there, Tina was literally inundated with requests for endless filming and interviews, as well as business proposals from all over the world. The newly minted star Tina Karol began a completely different life.

And Tina Karol spent the money received from Pugacheva on the development of her singing career. In the same 2005, she shot her debut video for the song, which became a hit for many years - "Above the Clouds". It was then that the public of Ukraine, and not only, started talking about the new star of show business.

7th place at Eurovision 2006

In 2006, Tina Karol won the national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest and represented Ukraine in Greece. With the incendiary song "Show me your love", she not only made it to the final, but also took 7th place by the vote, which was also a great triumph in her career and a significant event for the country. And upon returning home, the singer recorded a new album "Show me your love", which became not only her debut, but also "gold" for her.

In early 2007, the popular singer changed her producer and creative team. Now Evgeny Ogir has become Tina's producer. In September 2007, the star was named the most popular singer in the country and the most beautiful woman by Viva! Magazine.

Love that cannot be forgotten

Unfortunately, the singer's personal life was not as successful as her career in show business. Although it all started fabulously beautiful. In January 2008, Tina Karol quietly married her producer Yevgeny Ogir. This beautiful couple got married in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. Tina Karol's personal life was then envied by many. Her union with Eugene was called exemplary in the musical environment. After 9 months, the happy spouses had their first child. The parents named the boy Benjamin, which in Hebrew means beloved son.

The marriage of Tina and Eugene seemed like a paradise island in the stormy and volatile ocean of show business with its scandals, betrayals and frequent divorces. For the birth of their son, the couple built their own house near Kiev, in which they dreamed of spending their whole lives. But the villainess-fate gave them a very short period of time for happiness.

And like a bolt from the blue, the news of the trouble thundered, shocking the family, friends and fans of the singer. The diagnosis, which doctors announced to Eugene, turned out to be terrible - stomach cancer. He bravely fought for a whole year and a half for life. However, treatment abroad and in Ukraine, exhausting courses of chemotherapy did not bring the desired cure for the disease. He left in April 2013.

Her husband's funeral became the most terrible and tragic event in Tina's life. But the woman managed to gather her will into a fist: instead of closing herself alone with her grief in their country house, she conducted an all-Ukrainian tour in memory of her husband entitled "The Power of Love and Voice", which ended in February 2014. Tina Karol dedicated her fifth album to her fans and spouse, "I Remember". The collection includes the compositions "Shielded your eyes", "Life goes on", "You let go", "Infinity" …

Since then, only one beloved man was present in her life - the son of Venya. He is surprisingly similar to his mother and father at the same time. Today, the boy is the main consolation and the main man in the life of a star. But lately he has been living and studying in London and dreams of more frequent meetings with his stellar mother.

How to endure loneliness

The fortress of the singer is still the house built together with Yevgeny Ogir:

Tina Karol has three hobbies that, at first glance, are difficult to combine. Firstly, she loves to drive fast in sports cars, but at the same time, she can calmly dig in the beds in the garden, caring for plants, flowers and vegetables. At leisure, when free time allows it, the singer paints pictures with acrylics. Until now, such a pastime has helped her to distract from the thoughts of her husband's death and rest from work. The artist does not expose her paintings to the public, but she still donates some works to close friends …

Afterword. "An engagement ring from Dan Balan?"

In 2019, the yellow press unexpectedly started talking about Tina Karol's romance with the singer from Moldova Dan Balan. Mutual sympathy began during joint work on the show "Voice of the Country-9". Dan persistently began to show Tina signs of attention, loading her with flowers and gifts, which at first she perceived as an attempt to disarm her as a rival. Indeed, on the project of the show, their teams were competing. However, from program to program, the whole country watched as Karol's frozen heart gradually melted. Many then decided that she decided to drop all suspicions and play along with Dan's courtship. Together, the stars even performed in the finale of the show, delighting the audience with the lyrical composition "Home".

However, the 9th season ended and the 10th began, and on the Web, conversations about feelings between the Ukrainian singer and the Moldovan artist still did not subside. Their casual flirtation during the live broadcast of the show was so believable that fans began to prophesy a wedding for them. Why are there fans, on the air of the project, the mother of Dana Balan herself - the famous actress and TV presenter of Moldova Lyudmila Balan from the stage all over Ukraine with a song blessed her son and Tina. And we can only be sincerely happy for the happy couple and their future. And who knows … Time will put everything in its place.

By the way, on April 26, 2020, the superfinal of the tenth season of the Voice of the Country vocal show took place on the 1 + 1 TV channel. According to the results of voting, the winner was Roman Sasanchin, a competitor of Tina Karol's team. For a star trainer, this is already the fifth victory in a vocal show.

The public always has a genuine interest in their idols, and the press, of course, is always in a hurry to shed light on certain events that have occurred in the lives of stars. Just a few years ago, many were shocked by an unexpected the departure of the famous Russian actress Lyanka Gryu to America, who practically abandoned her career for the sake of her son and the preservation of her family.
