This is a scene of the popular singing contest where a panel of famous singers and musicians is represented by Dima Bilan, Alexander Gradsky and Leonid Agutin. Unfortunately, I can't recognise this blonde lady in the centre. Dima Bilan (hit: Believe) is a bright representative of the Russian show-business. Many remember his fiery performances at the EUROVISION in 2006 and 2008. Alexander Gradsky (hit: Kak molody my byli) was a rock star in early 80-s of the last century. He is old now, but his hits are still requested among the quality music lovers. Leonid Agutin (hit: Ne pohozniy na tebya) was one of the most handsome men in 1990-s. His cooperation with another singer Angelika Varum made him even more popular. Later, they married.
I cannot say for sure who my favourite singer is. My preferences constantly change depending on my state of mind. Yet in general I prefer melodic instrumental compositions rather than songs. My favourite performer for now is David Broza, a gifted Israeli guitarist, songwriter and composer. His latest hit "Tears for Barcelona" is sensitive and expressive.
