The attitude in our country towards domestic stars can often be expressed by the phrase "Though strange, but its own." It is customary for us to forgive a lot - drunken noisy parties, failures on stage, scandals with the press and colleagues - all this often only raises interest in the artists. However, the last few antics of our stars, it seems, still overflowed the audience's patience. It is now customary for us to publicly apologize for especially large punctures, but sometimes people on stage do not know how to do this either.

Anti-Champion Songs

One of the first creations that caused the obvious displeasure of Russian viewers was the controversial "Ibiza". The clip, in which Philip Kirkorov and Nikolai Baskov try to kill each other in different ways, are praised by some for their courage and humor, while others are not accepted because of not too pleasant scenes, jokes below the belt, pensioners in swimsuits and obscene expressions. The discontent of the Internet audience even resulted in a petition to deprive the singers of the title of "People's Artist". After such a turn, Nikolai and Philip apologized to everyone, releasing an additional music video, where they explained that they just wanted to joke. The public seems to have accepted this apology.

However, both singers made good money on the scandal, because multimillion-dollar views are profitable anyway, no matter what they think of you. So we can expect an increase in such outrageous "works" in the future. It is becoming more and more difficult to attract the attention of the audience, so soon it will be done by any means, as long as advertisers pay.

2018 was generally rich in such scandals. A couple of months before Baskov and Kirkorov, Semyon Slepakov apologized to the "whole world". He was forced to apologize to the Russian national football team for the song “Ole, ole, ole!”, Which he wrote on the eve of the 2018 World Cup. It has already become a good tradition to scold our football, but with the phrase about the fact that Semyon seems to have gone too far. As a result, the singer had to write another, more positive song, with the help of which he rehabilitated both our team and his own rating.

However, all anti-records were broken this year by the clip of rappers Timati and Guf "Moscow". Released just before the elections to the Moscow City Duma, this "masterpiece" was perceived by the majority of users as a custom PR and caused huge discontent. In a few days, the video broke all domestic records for dislikes (almost 1.5 million) and was removed from the network by the creators themselves. The rapper apologized to the fans and noticed in the address that. The CEO of the Black Star label said that they did not fulfill any government orders, and everything that was said in the song is Timati's sincere opinion. The Internet community, however, did not particularly believe in this.

Unsuccessfully expressed

As you know, a word is not a sparrow. Too many artists on our stage, unfortunately, express well only those thoughts that are rhymed in the lines of their songs. Minutes of free communication at a concert with the audience or on the Internet sometimes enrich the news feeds of the media with regular scandals - "I said wrong," "I got it wrong." Many singers, musicians and actors were periodically included in these anti-ratings.

So, it is known that Irina Allegrova is not distinguished by restraint and sometimes breaks down on her fans. The star is especially annoyed by attempts to photograph her from the audience during her performance. Apologies sometimes follow after such breakdowns, but, as you know, the "sediment" remains. Elena Vaenga publicly apologized to Muslims in 2013 for “emotions and illiteracy” - in her outraged speech about the Pussy Riot group, the singer managed to use the word “mosque” twice with a grammatical error.

In 2016, Sati Kazanova had to publicly repent for her ugly statement about children with health problems. The singer named these children. Of course, the public reacted very sharply to this. However, the loudest was probably the scandal around Ivan Urgant's sloppy phrase. While still the host of the "Smak" program, the showman joked significantly:. Needless to say, he had to publicly apologize for such a strange historical and political humor more than once.

Complete failure

Of course, the biggest indignation among the audience is caused by the concerts disrupted due to the fault of the artists. After all, live creativity and communication with fans is a real indicator of the singer's professionalism. And only here you can truly see the respect that he really has for his audience and for his profession.

In December 2014, the concert was practically disrupted by a man who has already become a legend and classic of Russian rock. The Alisa group performed at the Cosmonaut club in St. Petersburg. Konstantin Kinchev, being very drunk on the stage, did not behave quite like a star - he conducted an incoherent dialogue with the audience, lay down on the stage and announced that he had forgotten the words. Of course, your own birthday is, perhaps, a reason to drink a little, but you need to know when to stop! After this incident, the musician wrote on his Facebook page:

However, this is not the worst thing that happens at our concerts. Sergei Shnurov, for example, in the same 2014, ran around the stage completely naked, defending his right to profanity, and Grigory Leps, furious because of a bad sound, broke the microphone. However, the scandal that erupted recently due to the behavior of Dima Bilan seems to surpass all previous cases. This singer is not one of the most respected stars of our stage, the anger of his former fans has repeatedly poured out on him, and the concert on September 8 in Samara and what followed may significantly reduce the rating of this singer.

According to eyewitnesses, Bilan. Even fans suggested after that that Dmitry took not only alcohol before the concert. Residents of Samara were outraged by the spoiled holiday, and the entire Internet community was outraged by the star's attitude to her profession. However, further events continued.

Bilan admitted that he performed drunk on the City Day and apologized to local residents. He announced that he wants to organize an open, free and high-quality concert in Samara. In addition, the singer decided to present the city with a certificate for the construction of an inclusive playground where children with special needs can play. However, presenting this gift in a solemn atmosphere, the star managed to surprise everyone once again. Answering one of the employees of the studio of inclusive creativity, Bilan said the phrase:. The mention of the Fuhrer plunged those present into a slight culture shock, after which Bilan continued to apologize in a new way, but already on his Instagram page. Alla Borisovna Pugacheva herself stopped this stream of repentance the other day, answering Dmitry in the comments with a paraphrase from the biblical parable:. In total, Bilan has already spent 7 million rubles on his apologies to the residents of Samara and will probably remain in history as the only artist who apologized for the way he apologized.
