Sometimes their weirdness makes them cute, but often it borders on extravagance. A certain brand of flowers and alcohol in a hotel room is "baby talk" compared to what some celebrities include in their rider. Based on these ambiguous lists, we can draw a conclusion about who suffers from what phobias. Some are shiveringly afraid of any germs and bacteria, while others have a persecution mania.

Ryder, as the word came into use from the professional slang of artists and denotes a list of requirements of an artist or group to the organizers of their performances. Simply put, this is a list of conditions that must be met by those who invite them to perform in a particular city. Usually the rider contains the technical part and the economic part. The technical specifies the requirements for equipment, stage sizes and other working moments. But with the economic part of the matter, the situation is more interesting, because it is here that such subtleties are prescribed that plunge the noble public into shock.

The higher the star status of the artist, the higher the list of requirements, although in the creative environment they say that sometimes the "weird" rider is not only the "cockroaches" of the artist, but also evidence of his difficult touring experience. And as an example, a true story is given, which, if it happened, it was with an abstract artist who came on tour to the city of N and after the concert, tired went to the room, but not even five minutes had passed before he ran out of the room, showering everyone with obscene expressions … To the question of the hotel representative, they say, what happened, the artist indignantly replied that according to the rider, he must have a shower in his room. The hotel employee silently enters the room, opens the bathroom door, sees the actual bathtub, the shower head and silently looks at the artist in bewilderment, saying, well, what else do you want? The crushed artist threw up his hands: well, why does he need all this, if there is no water! Since then, the rider has included hot and cold showers. Weird? Weird. But vital. Therefore, when reading the riders of the star, it is worth making a discount, taking into account the motley host, which also has its own oddities.

Svetlana Loboda

The artist's rider consists of 30 pages, most of which is occupied by technical issues, because the singer pays great attention to the entertainment of her performance. However, Svetlana is also very concerned about her comfort and the well-being of her team.

Food should not only be healthy, but also aesthetically pleasing. She also needs three new kettles (in case the water is turned off?) And a dozen socks of different shades (maybe she brings their friends as a present from the tour?). The air temperature should not be lower than 24 degrees, both in the room and in the dressing room and even on the stage. Not so much for the one who sang: "I can do anything, I'm a superstar."

Beyonce

Loboda stands quietly to the side with her teapots and socks while the Latin American singer hands out instructions to the organizers about what color the toilet paper should be in her room. It should be pink (all of a sudden the information will come in handy). In addition, a new toilet seat must be installed. By the way, this item has been updated, since Beyoncé used to require a new toilet at all.

There should be drinking water with lye at room temperature and chicken cooked with spices. The rider periodically changes based on the singer's wishes to take her daughter with her (then a special mobile children's room is hired), and in the summer she also asks for round pieces of ice for her throat.

Nikolay Baskov

It would seem that someone who claims the title of "king" of the Russian stage, and requests should have appropriate, but no, Nikolai is very modest and prefers to show his ambition in the amount of the fee, and not in the length of the rider. It was Nikolai who found an item about a shower and hot water, but this was preceded by a story similar to the one described above. During the tour with her daughter Montserrat Caballe, it turned out that there was no hot water in the singer's hotel room, because the communal services had started technical work the day before (what an embarrassment!). There were no three kettles in the rider, so the situation turned out to be difficult. This is how the requirement for the water temperature appeared in the points. The artist also needs hot coffee, blackout curtains and a silent driver. And something suggests that the last two points did not come out of nowhere either.

Robby Williams

The musician carries with him a huge team, and therefore the list of his requirements is unexpected in scope. No, the list is not long, but, for example, for some reason he needs 50 eggs and a kilogram of mushrooms. Another 16 liters of milk and a quarter of a hundred donuts. But this is nonsense, Williams' team needs almost 300 towels, fire extinguishers and British newspapers. Another 30 sofas, 3 dressing rooms and 5 offices. Apart from musicians, technical specialists, who are simply a huge number, the musician is accompanied by 8 managers, a stylist, a massage therapist, 6 cooks and the same number of bodyguards. I wonder what he would say if, having entered the room, he found out that there is no hot water?

Valery Leontiev

The singer, who has spent almost his entire life on the road, is very unpretentious. His rider is modest and difficult to find fault with him, despite the fact that there are jokes on the Internet about the fact that the singer needs a lot of garbage bags - with them he seals the windows so that the sun does not shine and does not interfere with his sleep. This problem has long been solved by special curtains, blinds and other devices that exist in many hotel rooms, which are designed to accommodate people who have changed the time zone.

The artist also carries with him a huge number of bags and suitcases. Although this is expected, because his stage costumes are a separate topic for conversation.

Mariah Carey

The girl is accustomed to a luxurious life, not only in ordinary life, but also during the tour. Although, it is possible that her rider is of the "not sure - don't suggest" category. So, for her life on tour, she needs three bottles of champagne. Each of them costs from one and a half thousand dollars. The plumbing must be completely new and the taps must be gold. There should be a lot of flowers in the room, and the petals are scattered all over the place. The singer will need a bathtub filled with mineral water. And for her dog too, by the way. Separate, of course. She also needs 200 towels and toys.

Lolita

The singer has only one weird requirement, but she takes it very seriously. The fact is that Lolita is afraid to travel long distances in a car, which means that she needs a different type of transport. True, when it comes to trains, the singer insists that she does not need a separate compartment, but a whole carriage. And it's not even that her team doesn't fit, it's just that her own comfort is important to her. If it is a question of urgently purchasing tickets, problems may arise, since empty carriages “do not wait” for Lolita, and even a few occupied compartments may become a reason to refuse a trip. This has already happened, by the way.

Lady Gaga

Particularly attentive fans have long noticed that the queen of shocking is not averse to tasty food, especially after the post-quarantine photographs testify to this. Not surprisingly, her rider looks more like a menu. She needs a blender, a hot dog with a special kind of cheese, just cheese (unlimited), vegetables, fruits. Agave, tea, hot chocolate, milk, orange and cranberry juice, certain brand mineral water, The singer also needs long tooth sticks and silence. Appetite seems to disappear with noise. In any case, humble enough for a person of her reputation.

Diskoteka Avaria"

The artists are quite unpretentious, they do not require any golden taps and new toilets in their room. After a soloist girl appeared in the group, in the presence of a common dressing room, they need a dense and opaque screen (and that's all!).

At one time, the artists in the rider prescribed the need to provide them with a live chicken. Moreover, this very important bird had to be accompanied by a separate person who would ensure the safety of the chicken. They needed the bird for one single room, and its safety was also guaranteed.

Tom Cruise

The actor often caught the tongue of colleagues after they starred together or they saw his rider. The list is bloated, as is his ego. For example, he prefers that instead of wallpaper, there were newspaper clippings with articles about him, photographs in which he smiles happily. A kind of altar to myself.

The actor is also extremely picky about bedding and wants it to be made of a certain fabric and at least 50 sets. If the shooting is carried out in the field, then a whole camp is set up especially for him, in which he should feel at home. Otherwise, he will be deprived of inspiration, not otherwise.

Philip Kirkorov

Despite the rumors that circulate about the artist, he is very unpretentious and his rider clearly demonstrates this. He makes much more demands on the technical part than on everyday issues.

Now, when Philip has a tendency to be overweight, he periodically restricts himself in food, but often asks for fast food, marshmallows in chocolate and cola to his room. From "normal" food - meat and cheese cuts, seafood and a lot of fruits. He also needs a wardrobe that would hold at least 20 sets of clothes, a full-length mirror and flowers (carnations, lilacs, chrysanthemums).

Madonna

The singer's team is almost 200 people, and they all have to be in comfortable conditions, so inviting Madonna to perform is not just expensive, but very expensive and labor-intensive. From the mandatory requirements of the rider - water from Israeli sources, Dead Sea salt. The singer also loves candles, and from orchid flowers, but they must also be of a certain height.

But the most interesting thing is how the singer processes the number after her stay there. Not only that, after her, specially hired people are removed from her staff. Their task is to destroy any biological material of the singer. In addition, after it, no one should enter the room during the day. Madonna fears that her DNA from biomaterials can be used for experiments or cloned. And she simply cannot bear the second Madonna.

Alla Pugacheva

Despite the fact that the singer is no longer performing, her riders have never been distinguished by something particularly pretentious or conspicuous. Although the prima donna could definitely afford it.

However, her name still managed to light up in the context of fanciful requirements during a Riga concert in 2019. This is a long-awaited event, tickets for which were bought out long before the start. The singer demanded that a limousine meet her, but there is nothing strange in this, it is strange that she wanted him to drive directly to the platform. This angered many people who witnessed this incident, and then Internet users. The representative of Alla Borisovna explained this by the age of the singer, who finds it difficult to move independently, and even fight off fans.

The list of requirements for concert organizers sometimes only confirms the fact that "the more show-off, the less a person", and celebrities, accustomed to the fact that their star status must work for them constantly, are looking for benefits and convenience for themselves in everything. The list of requirements applies not only to concerts and away tours, but also to their own social networks. Some people exchange rest and other benefits for advertising in their accounts, while others just frankly make money on it..
