Extravagant Lady Gaga

In modern pop culture it is difficult to find a singer with more vivid stage images. The album “Fame” became the most popular and sold millions of copies in many countries. Lady Gaga is the winner large quantity prestigious awards and prizes.

In this article you will learn about the most famous, popular and sought-after pop artists in our country. They are very different - young or emerging, beautiful and unique, talented or not. But the public loves them, no matter what, be it a new hit or long legs.

Pop centenarians

These are the “oldest” singers in Russia. Photos of divas regularly throughout many years appear in the yellow press, and crowds of fans are still hunting for their autographs. This list includes: Alla Pugacheva, Sofia Rotaru, Larisa Dolina, Kadysheva, Lyubov Uspenskaya, Irina Allegrova and Valeria. Of course, this is far from full list, this includes only those pop artists who are currently able to attract full houses at their concerts. Note: although Alla Pugacheva left the stage, she can return at any moment and gather a whole crowd of fans.

The most beautiful singers Russia

This list includes those pop divas who don’t even have to sing. It’s enough just to go on stage, and millions of men’s hearts will skip a beat from such unearthly (and barely covered) beauty. Well, if they are also talented, have good voice, then nothing can resist this crushing force. So, the most beautiful singers in Russia are Vera Brezhneva, Pletneva, Zhanna Friske, Nyusha, Tatyana Kotova, Tanya Tereshina (group “Yin-Yang”), Sati Kazanova, Svetlana Svetikova, Valeria, Yulia Kovalchuk, Anna Semenovich. It is these divas who not only sing well, but also invariably attract male glances. Many of these singers were filmed for men's magazines: “Playboy”, “Penthouse” and other similar publications. And this once again serves as proof of their beauty.

The most popular singers in Russia

You can be both beautiful and talented, but only the desire of the audience to see a particular singer at a concert or to get her to a corporate event or private party is a real objective indicator of the star’s demand. And demand always creates supply, and the most sought-after artists receive the highest fees. However, I would like to note the fact that Russian singers, like their foreign colleagues, often inflate the amounts they receive for their performances. There are several reasons: firstly, the thought - “what if they give just that much”, secondly, self-promotion - “look how popular I am.” And, of course, the expectation of a purely psychological effect - for many people who “book” stars, the status of the performers is important, and not at all the quality of the songs. This is what many Russian singers take advantage of, asking hundreds of thousands of dollars for a half-hour performance accompanied by a soundtrack. Alla Pugacheva is considered the most expensive: she asks €250 thousand for 5 songs, and only on condition that she does not need to travel further than 500 km from Moscow. Next comes Elena Vaenga - she asks “only” €200 thousand for a forty-minute performance. Among younger generation You can mention the singer Elka - she charges €100 thousand. Zemfira can be ordered for €150 thousand. But the entire “Brilliant” group, wholesale, will cost only €20 thousand.

As a result, we can conclude: Russian singers do not yet reach the level of fees of world celebrities. And none of our stars can yet compare with Rihanna, who earned $8 million in one evening, Beyoncé ($2 million for performing at a private party on a yacht) or Christina Aguilera ($1 million in one hour).
