"VIA Gra" - changeable, like a heart of beauties

For more than a decade, the existence of the group changed the composition, but did not change his idea. And she consisted in creating something fundamentally new.

You can certainly argue whether such a new idea was to collect a female group of girls with fantastic sexual appearance. In any case, the first appearance "VIA GRA" Not left unnoticed, the popularity grew every day, and now no one doubts the success of the idea. The group with such an idea was simply doomed to success: the male half of the audience cannot but admire the plasticity of the female bodies perfect, well, and there is someone to be equal to the female half.

Attempt number two or number five?

Dmitry Kostyuk, the producer of the collective, wanted to collect a female group, the participants of which should have a stunning sexual appearance to demonstrate the shocking speeches and, as the KVN-Plums like to joke, if these conditions are fulfilled, no one will pay attention to the vocal data. After the first casting, three girls were selected. They recorded the first song and even started shooting the clip. But the coherent work at the collective did not work and the composition was dissolved. But the idea did not leave producers.

After some time, the "Attempt number two" took place. This time the choice stopped on two vocalists. They became and. Alena, at that time he worked in the television company "Biz-TV", where Dmitry Kostyuk noted her and invited to participate in the team. When he and the second producer of the Konstantin Meladze group received a photo session of hope, they invited her to Casting, who confirmed that the girl meets all the requirements. Before "VIA GRA"By the way, Granovskaya did not have vocal experience.

The group was named that, as it turned out, means not only an aluminus with a known drug. Although many believe that this is not an allusion, but the meaning of the name, because the group's performance has no less effect on the men's half of humanity than the well-known medical drug.

In fact, there are several versions explaining the name of the group. One of them: VIA is an abbreviation "vocal-instrumental ensemble", and "Gra" in translation from the Ukrainian language as "game". According to another version, the name is the initial letters of the names of Vocalistovka: "V" - from Vinnitskaya, and "Gra" from "Granovskaya". Another version: "Gra" is the first letters of the words "voice, joy, artistry". The latest version is most likely attracted by the ears. The external image of sexy vocalists is associated rather with pills that improve sexual potency in men. Probably everyone can decipher the name, as he likes more.

First steps and immediately success

Nadia and Alena (2000)

So, the group was formed, the name is invented. The debut of the first video on the song "Attempt No. 5" took place on the TV channel "Biz-TV" 2000. This date is considered the beginning of the creative activity of the team. The clip produced a certain Furior, a group not only noticed, they spoke about it as a new bright phenomenon on the domestic pop scene. A successful song with an appropriate video clip has become an excellent application and even in some kind of "calling card" team. So, with the song "Attempt No. 5" from the second attempt, the group fell into the tops of various musical charts. The song liked not only by listeners, but was noticed by musical critics and producers. At the end of the year, only for this song, the group received several musical awards: "Before Hit", "Golden Gramophone", "Golden Fire-Bird", and the video was marked by the Gold Giri Premium.

Debut video has become a starting point to popularity. Moreover, this song is still popular, the group regularly fulfills it during concert speeches, reminding viewers about how it all began. For a successful debut followed months of hard work. Following the "Attempt number 5", the composition "Meet My Mom" \u200b\u200bcame out. Clip shooting, however, were not completed. The plot of the clip on the song "Right me" is largely similar to the plot of an unfinished clip, the directors even used some fragments of the clip on the song "Meet My Mom."

Path to the tops

Tatyana, Alena, Anna (2002)

For a whole year, the group worked hard on his repertoire, and the end of 2000 was already recorded seven songs. And in December, the debut first concert took place. The famous team grew every day. Increasingly - desired guests on various television shows, they are concerned with suggestions for participation in national concerts. Two more clips please fans - "I will not return" and "Bomb". Each new song, album, clip, appearance in the TV program or on the pages of magazines (the photographs of the team are carried out "Playboy", "Maxim", "7 days") - contribute to the growing popularity of the group, which is successfully toured throughout the country. The same time was marked by another event - the group was invited to take part in the shooting of the musical.

Trio Brezhnev, Granovskaya and Sedokova fans often refer to the "golden composition", because in this composition the group was more productive. The video came out on the song "Do not leave me, Favorite!", Behind him the second album, "Stop! Shot! ". In the summer, the video "Kill my girlfriend" appears.

Conquer the domestic scene, ready to show itself to the countries of Europe and Asia. The light saw the English-language clip "Stop! Stop! STOP! ", As well as an English album album with the same name. The first release took place in Japan, where he made a lot of success in the capital. And in the fall of the same year, the album "Biology" came out. Valery Meladze recorded together with "VIA GRAY" The compositions "Ocean and three rivers" and "there are no more attractions".

Diamond composition "VIA GRU"

Svetlana, Hope, Vera (2004)

Completely unexpectedly in May 2004, Anna Sedokova shocks not only fans, but also producers - she leaves the group because of their pregnancy. Urgently, the producers are looking for a replacement of the saddle, this time the choice fell on Svetlana Lobod. Svetlana is a sexy and attractive girl, winner of an unusual jazz voice with a range of 2.5 octaves. But for some reason, the replacement "did not accept" fans.

2004 was awarded the "MUZ-TV 2004" award. In the same year, a pan-European release of the album "Stop! Stop! Stop! ". Vocalists took part in the filming of another musical "Sorochinsky Fair". It should not be noted that one of the hits of the group was born in this musical, "Oh, a clean water spoke."

Hope, Albina, Vera

The group retained its popularity and actively worked on stage and in the studio. But the dissatisfaction with Svetlana grew up, conflicts between vocalists arose, as a result, it was decided to part with the Loboda. Instead, they took Albina Janabaev, who had already worked for a long time with Valery Meladze as a back vocalist. This composition of the fans nicknamed "diamond" after the release of the clip on the song "Diamonds". The composition fell in love with everything due to its ease and jazz motive. The diamond composition recorded the collaboration with the "TNMK" rap team in Ukraine, "there is nothing worse than being as everything."

In 2006, two vocalists, Vera Brezhnev and Nadezhda Granovskaya, declared the desire to leave the group. Brezhnev wanted to start the solo career, and Granovskaya decided to try something new. This statement caused confusion among the group fans and found the rules of producers, Konstantin Meladze and Dmitry Kostyka.

Creative crisis or again change

Care at once two soloists did not foretell anything good. Producers had two ways: to close the project or try to find a replacement. Moreover, both options had their weaknesses. What is such a well-promoted, an extremely popular project, should not be explained. But also find vocalists, for the coordinated work of the team, the task is not easy. Fans almost resigned with the collapse of the team. Although rumors that "farewell" with a group is only a successful PR-move, gotten the hope that girls will still delight new songs and tours. Only no one knew whether this would be a completely new composition or someone from the old one would remain.

Christina Kots-Gotlib came to the granovskaya group. In the new part of the group released a new lyrical song "Deception, but remain", in which many listeners saw a parallel with the events in the team. But the new format did not hold on long, the relationship between soloists was not immediately charged, and instead of Christina, the producers invited Olga Koryagin.

It seemed that the appearance of a new soloist will allow to continue to work quietly, and all the problems behind. Everything looks as if the band did not plan to stop. continued to delight their fans with new releases and giving concerts. In May 2006, a large solo concert took place in St. Petersburg dedicated to the five years of the team.

Melas and Albina (2007)

Despite confusion in the composition, recorded new songs: "L. M. L., "who became the bomb of the summer of 2006," Bomb ", published in September," flower and knife ", released in November. Moreover, the songs were recorded in two languages \u200b\u200b- Russian and English, which predetermined the exit of the second English-speaking album, whose name coincided with the name of the song "L. M. L. This song by that time was already a real hit and sounded in all musical programs, ranking first places in musical tops and chat rooms. Nevertheless, the second English-speaking album did not have success. According to the already established tradition, the group starred in the New Year's Musicle "First Channel", with the Russian version of the song "IT's Raining Man".

Duet, trio, again duet

Messeda, Tatyana, Albina (2008)

But here, according to a person already familiar to the group - pregnancy, the team leaves Olga Koriagin. Producers allow it to leave the team without fulfilling obligations, but without the ability to return. And after Koryagina, Vera Brezhnev is still out of the group. Another casting led Mela Bagaudine to the group. The duet recorded the songs of "Kisses" and "I'm not afraid." The clip on the last shot at the time when the producers decided to return the format of the trio to the team. In the new video on the song "I'm not afraid" fans "VIA GRA" Saw a new soloist of the project - Tatyana Kotov.

The next year for the group was more productive than 2007. New songs and new successes appeared. Already in the summer, the Muz-TV premiums were called the "best pop group of the year", and their video for the song "Kisses" won the "Best Video" nomination. In the fall, the team removed the video "American wife" to the soundtrack to the film "Styles", released the third collection of songs - "Emancipation", participated in the creative evening of Konstantin Meladze, and, of course, in New Year's concerts.

"Old love is not rust"

Tatyana, Hope, Albina (2009)

The team fans are already accustomed to the fact that every year changes occur in the group. In 2009, it was no exception, but the change in the composition surprised everyone - the Hope Granovskaya returned to the group. In connection with this Meside Bagaudine had to leave, two brunettes in the same team did not place. Immediately, the girls went on tour in Europe and North America with the "My Emancipation" program, and Mesora Bagaudinova was still on many posters.

At the "Russian Radio" a presentation of a new song called "Anthiesh" took place. At the end of the clip, shot on this composition, the soloists of the group played real antigash: neither chic outfits, no lush hairstyles - an unexpected image for the team. At the "Russian Movie Awards 2009" ceremony, award was awarded for the best male role and received a premium for the best soundtrack - "American Wife", and 2009 - the group received a statuette of the Golden Gramophone for the song "Antigiysh".

In mid-March 2010, Tatyana Kotova "for certain reasons" left the group. Her place was taken by Eva Bushmina (Jan Shvets). The premiere of a new trio was the song "I went out!". But already in 2011, it was announced that the hope of Meikher-Granovskaya leaves the group, and its place will take Santa Dimopoulos.

END "VIA GRA" or the beginning of the newest story?

Eva, Hope, Albina (2010)

Since September 2012, the group has again become a duet, which consists of Albina Janabaeva and Eva Bushmina. And again the rumors pianic about the fact that now the group is really on the verge of decay. Konstantin Meladze officially confirmed that Santa left the team because of the "professional unsuitability". He also stated that the band would soon write a new song and would remove the new video with a new soloist. Who will be - it is not yet known.

Thus, for eleven years of its existence, the composition of the group changed more than ten times. And everything looks so that this is not the last, and not even the penultimate composition "VIA GRA". But one can safely say one thing: the group is a phenomenon in many ways. They achieved great popularity, won many awards, and still ready to conquer new peaks, are able to strive and amazeing their songs. In the creative plans there are still a lot of ideas and ideas, but for now we can safely say that it continues to successfully conquer the hearts of the audience and even listeners.

Santa, Eva, Albina (2011)

FACTS

Song "Don't Leave Me, Favorite!" I became one of the most significant singles in the history of the group. She lasted in the charts of almost 7 months, becoming a mega-hit 2003.

Clip "Emancipation" - the most expensive that Alan Badoev did for all his director's career. New-fashioned erotic video cost "VIA GRU" Almost $ 120,000 - expensive "female emancipation" is expensive!

Abroad, the group cannot use its name due to the threat of a lawsuit from the manufacturer of the drug of the drug of the same name, so it appears entitled Nu Virgos..

Eva and Albina (2012)

Almost all ex-soloists "VIA GRA" After leaving the group continued his career in show business. The most successful can be considered to be faith Brezhnev. The song "Love will save the world" brought singer to unprecedented fame, and at the moment its popularity is even higher than the popularity of the group itself. Following the faith, Svetlana Loboda follows. Svetlana is already mega-popular in Ukraine and is now trying to break through to the top of Olympus in Russia. For faith and Svetlana, Alena Vinnitskaya is not far behind, and followed by Ana Sedokova.

New composition "VIA Gra"

Misha Romanova

Eric Herceg.

Unlike Misha, Erica was not prepared for the career of the artist seriously, and even more so did not count on the fact that she would have to conquer the Russian show business. The girl with Hungarian and Ukrainian roots, she grew in the village almost on the very border of Ukraine and Hungary, did not speak Russian at all and more than 80 kilograms were wearing in his youth! But if someone believes that she was not lucky in something, then only not Eric.

I think I was everything wonderful. I just wanted more.

Six years ago, Erica said: "Enough!" And began to "sculpt" a new one. She sat on a diet, thanks to which more than 30 kilograms dropped, and at the end of the institute in Hungary moved to Kiev and became the model. Three years ago, Erica began to learn Russian, which now owns practically free. And although he speaks on it with a noticeable accent, it is not in a hurry to get rid of it.

This is my personality. If I will accumulate, then it will not be Eric Herceg.

By the way, today Erica is the only soloist of the group, whose heart is not free. For two years, she meets with a businessman who holds the name in secret. According to the girl, after the victory in the show "I want a V VIA GRU" She seems to be extremely rare with chosen, but hopes for understanding from his part. Anyway, despite the feelings for his beloved, Erica's team is not going to leave the team.

I believe that "VIA Gra" is my fate.

He talked with the girls and found out how their life changed after the project and why they consider themselves with modern Cinderellas.

New composition "VIA Gra"

Passion and sexuality - these words instantly come to mind when it comes to the group "VIA Gra". And not only because the name of the team is consonant with the title of the drug to increase male potency: all 13 soloists who changed over 13 years of the Group's existence - both on the selection, clever and beauties, - were designed to become an object not only male, but also of universal adoration .

In zero interest in the team of his musical producer, the composer Konstantin Meladze - was phenomenal, even despite the frequent change of participants. Having received the starting "capital" of fame in the group, the girls either went into solo swimming, or they got married and gave birth to children, sometimes combining both. Over time, "VIA Gra" turned into a sort of "stars factory" for performers, through which Anna Sedokova, and Vera Brezhnev, and Albin Janabaeva, and Albina Janabaeva, and the status of ex-soloist "VIA Gra" became something like a quality mark .

And yet at the end of 2012, after several years, Czechards with soloists who could not repeat the success of the "golden" group of group - Faith Brezhneva, Anna Sedokova and Hope of Granovskaya, Konstantin Meladze announced the dissolution of the collective.

Konstantin Meladze announced the launch of the music television show "I want V VIA GRU", the winner of which will become new participants of the new "VIA GRA". The multistage television store was completed in October last year, and the right to act in the group received three girls from Ukraine - Misha Romanova, Eric Herceg and Anastasia Kozhevnikov. In this composition, they have already managed to record the debut composition "truce" and remove the clip on it, and now they are preparing another premiere. Speaking of his participation in the group, Misha, Erica and Nastya go to enthusiastic exclamations. The girls who very much began during the show, admit that they want to work for the benefit of the project at least during all five years stipulated by the contract. And all three in a good ambitious ambitious, full of enthusiasm is so ready to disappear on rehearsals and it seems, not yet fully believed in what happens to them.

Misha Romanova, 23 years old, city of Kherson

Misha Romanova

Misha Romanova is confident: if something very much wants, it will definitely come true. From childhood, the girl, whose real name Natalia Mogilev, dreamed of becoming an artist. One serious drawback could prevent this - she stuttered greatly. As therapy, the doctors advised her to make singing, and on listening to the local DC Misha was surprised to find that he did not stutter when she sings. She began to study in the vocal studio, and soon the music became her passion. True, I failed to completely get rid of problems with the speech, but Misha does not bother it.

Surprisingly, but I never stutter on stage.

The stubborn and purposeful, she decided to devote his life to the music and after the ninth grade to conquer Kiev after the ninth grade. He entered the Academy of Pop and Circus Arts, took up a solo musical career, and when the castings began in the show "I want V VIA," on the advice of a friend, the Ukrainian singer and composer Max Barsky, joined the fight for a place in the team. Today, Misha's life, as well as two other participants, consists of rehearsals, concerts, filming, dancing and scenic speech, but it is only glad to have such changes - after all, he is engaged in a loved one. The only thing that is afraid of Misha is to pick up a star disease.

I am afraid of losing that sincerity, which in me there is. I want to stay by a person, no matter what.

Girls took part in the shooting of the New Year's Eve movie "Evenings on the farm near the Dikanka."

In 2002, Nadezhda Granovskaya due to pregnancy was forced to temporarily leave the team, and a new soloist was found to be found at her place at its place during the casting - Tatyana Nikin.

Version of the official site
"The history of the VIA Gra group is extensive and multifaceted, it includes a lot of events, one way or otherwise influenced the fate of this musical team.

Over time, the release of new songs and albums, the appearance of unusual video clips, participation in the shooting of various television programs and magazines, the "VIA Gra" group continues steadily to move up, self-improvement and improving the quality of his creativity, adding all new and new strokes to it.

Each subsequent action of the collective does not seem to be the previous one, wears a certain palette of emotions and feelings, thoughts and impressions inherent exclusively "VIA Gre" and allowing it to be different from most of the other post-Soviet pop groups working in a similar musical genre.
However, the current heights of VIA Gra reached not immediately. As you know, the path to the vertices is not smooth, there are many flaws and turns of fate, in one instant able to cross all the efforts and efforts. It is worth noting that in the history of the group there are no inclusions of a global scale, only change in the participants in the participants, which caused the "change of generations" and left their unique trace in the life of the team. Therefore, we will try to tell about the main events that have occurred since the basis of the group and which continue to occur in our day.
What will happen next - it will be introduced to learn only over time, but as long as we can analyze only what has already happened - the history of the VIA Gra group in all its manifestations. To begin, of course, it follows from the very beginning - the emergence of a group on the light that occurred in 2000. On the musical stage, there was not enough something new, unusual, capable of attracting the attention of the listener with his novelty and honors from others. We needed a team that could equally successfully conquer the hearts of the most versatile public, which can surprise something new, create a positive mood and, at the same time, a wide-awakening spiritual and lyrical feelings in a person.

The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a similar project came to the future to the future producer - Dmitry Kostyuk. The starting lineup of the group, thereby, from which everything began, were two Ukrainian girls, Alyona Vinnitskaya and Nadezhda Granovskaya. The story of their arrival in the group turned out to be different. Alena, at that time, who worked on the Ukrainian television company "Biz-TV", invited Dmitry Kostyuk to participate in the group. Another producer was Konstantin Meladze. It was him, together with Dmitry, was lucky to open hope for a group. The sending point that bowed him to the decision to make hope was her amateur photo session.

Then the casting followed, which Nadia brilliantly passed and the producers did not have the slightest doubt that it was necessary for a couple to Alena. It remained to come up with a name for a new team. "VIA Gra" - this is exactly what this project was named. About why the group was named this way, there are several versions. On the one hand, VIA is an abbreviation, which is deciphered as a "vocal-instrumental ensemble", and "Gra" is translated from the Ukrainian language as a "game". On the other hand, many believe that the name is a derivative of the names of the vocalist, in which "VI" - the beginning of the name "Vinnitskaya", "A" - the first letter named after Alena, and "Gra" - respectively, the beginning of the name of the partial part of Alena Group, Hope Granovskaya. There is also a version that "gra" is decrypted as "voice, joy, artistry." But the true appearance was that all sorts of decodents, somehow formed the word "VIA Gra", having the same name with pills that increase sexual potency in men, which fully contributed to the external image and sexy vocalist. Definitely how the name of the team is decrypted, is unknown. Yes, it does not matter, everyone can see in the title what he likes.

So, the group was named, formed and ready for the beginning of its creative activity. The first step towards the current vertices was the debut video of the group, which started the beginning of the triumphal procession up the stairs of glory. The video was made on the song "Attempt No. 5". His first show took place on September 3, 2000 on the Biz-TV TV channel. After that, interest in the group began to grow sharply, it was necessary to expand the repertoire to enter new positions. "Attempt No. 5" made a light furor, immediately became a certain "calling card" of the team, it was replicated for pirated wheels, she held the top positions of various musical charts, immediately struggling with the hits of that time. When drawing up collectors of the best songs, the compilers also did not bypass their attention to the debut work of the VIA Gra group. The song "Attempt No. 5" was included in the musical collections of Radio "Hit FM", "Auto Hit", "The Best Hits of Biz-TV" and many others. For the video of VIA Gra "itself became the winner of the Gold Gury Prize. For example, in 2001, November 18, the team won the Golden Gramophone Prize, for all the same "attempt No. 5." As an example, even these two premiums are sufficient to understand - the debut of the group succeeded. The composition leaves its mark on the team and still - it is regularly executed during concert speeches, continuing to remind the listeners about those times when everything just started. Without stopping at the achieved, instantly fixing success, the second video clip appears, shot on the song "Hug me." Together with the "Attempt No. 5", he provides a group of some bridgehead, one can say - the soil under his feet to make further actions.

During the whole 2000, the group forms its repertoire and by mid-December it includes seven songs. Time comes to organize your own concerts. Debut becomes a performance in Dnepropetrovsk, on the stage of the local "Ice Palace", which took place on December 20, 2000. At the concert attended about four thousand spectators.
After spending a very bright debut, demonstrating a part of his huge potential, in 2001, the VIA Gra Group conducts more versatile activities, having an increasing part of fans. It is invited to participate in premiums, concert programs, shooting in reputable media publications. The video sequence is replenished by two more clips - "I will not return" and "bomb". The rapid jerk of 2000 ends, from which the "VIA Gra" took the start, he systemally goes into rational promotion forward, with coverage of all new areas of activity in which the musical project may be affected.

The group gets all-Russian fame, popularity.
In the period from the beginning of the spring until the end of the summer, the team receives various awards, which include a prize from Radio "Hit FM", in the framework of the "Foot Heath" ceremony; Golden Feather at the Gold Fire-Bird ceremony, in the nominations "Best Song" and "Opening of the Year", as well as the "Gold Giri" and "Golden Gramophone" obtained by the Group for the first hit - "Attempt No. 5".

The group took part in the shooting of the musical "night before Christmas".

On August 31, 2001, VIA Gra concluded a contract with Sony Music, designed for the release of five albums. At the same time, the Group continued to successfully tour with its solo concerts by CIS countries.

In the following, 2002, the group "VIA Gra" shocked some changes. A new stage began in its evolutionary development. The structure was changed - the team turned into a trio from the duet. It all started with the fact that Nadezhda Granovskaya was preparing to become a mom, respectively, on saturated touring activities for a while was required to put the cross. In order to fill the temporary loss of hope, a casting was expanded urgently. The producers decided to increase the composition of the participants to three people, which was successfully done. The group was invited to the ex-TV presenter Anna Sedokov, who worked on Channels O-TV and "New Channel", as well as a model from St. Petersburg - Tatyana Nikin. Without giving upgrades to "Crane", the group continued "from a room in a quarry." A magnificent clip was shot on the song "Stop! Stop! Stop!". He showed that the group moves in the right direction and the fact that Anna Sedokova turned out to be in the group solely for the benefit.

May 23 in the Moscow Concert Hall "Russia" the group was awarded the "Ovation" award. It did not make sense on the bored borders, everyone was looking forward to continuing.

September 12, 2002 ended the shooting of the clip on the song "Good Morning, Dad!". It was marked by this event by the return of Hope Granovskaya, less than a month ago, who gave birth to the Son, who was named Igor. After a certain period of time after shooting the clip, Tatyana leaves the band. The team continues to be successfully filmed in various television programs, for example, in the "Domino principle" and "Total Show". Earlier, on only the MTV channel, VIA Gra participated in the programs "VIP-Caprice", "Banzai!", "12 evil spectators", "Stylissimo", "Parapazzi". It is impossible not to note and participate in the second on the score of the musical - "Cinderella", in which the participants played three princesses, sang along with the Verka Serdyuchka.

In 2003, it was not without change again. Alena Vinnitskaya decided to start her own, solo career. Accordingly, again casting, painful elections, as a result of which the Vera Brezhnev falls into the group. Another "era" is formed, the composition, which in the frame of the group fans is often called the golden composition. Indeed, such a definition in relation to faith, Anne and Hope is quite reasoned. This year becomes very fruitful, in terms of creativity of the team. At the beginning, a video clip is removed on the song "Do not leave me, Favorite!". Next follows the release of the second album of the group, "Stop! Shot! ".

Events continue to draw as out of abundance horns.
In the summer, the video "Kill my girlfriend" appears. The group goes to the top of glory, where it remains to this day. She is ready to conquer its creativity of the country of Europe and Asia. Outgoing an English-language clip "Stop! Stop! Stop! ", As well as - the English album of the team with the same name. The first release took place in Japan. "VIA Gra" as a hurricane swears through the country of the Rising Sun, performing in Tokyo, taking part in various programs on the "MTV Asia" and "Fuji TV" channel. Removal for the Japanese magazine "Play Boy". In the fall of the same year, the album "Biology" is coming. A magnificent duet is formed - "VIA Gra" and Valery Meladze. Joint work, in the end of 2003 - the beginning of 2004, which has gone fruit in the form of songs "Ocean and three rivers" and "no more", as well as video clips taken on them.

Everything developed rapidly, "VIA Gra" exposed all new and new masterpieces on the court. And then the event was happening, the ranks of fans in a light shock.

In 2004, Anna Sedokova is out of the group. In an emergency, she is looking for a replacement that Svetlana Loboda is found, but the replacement turned out to be a bit not equivalent, despite the fact that on June 4, 2004 VIA Gra wins on the "MUZ-TV 2004" awards, a video clip on the song "Biology" is removed . Still, Svetlana "Do not take" fans, immediately conducting analogies between it and Anna Sedokov. The group continues to perform in various television programs, in particular in the "Total Show", as well as in the third musical with its participation, which is called the Sorochin Fair. By the way, in this musical, one of the potential hits of the group was born, "oh said a clean water", during the Russian speeches, the transmitting unique Ukrainian flavor.
In the same year, a pan-European release of the album "Stop! Stop! Stop! ". Despite this, light discontent Svetlana grew up and a decision was made to part with it. Currently, Svetlana is engaged in solo career. Albina Janabaev is taken to the place of Loboda, for a long time worked on back-vocals from Valery Meladze and who fell into the group on his recommendation. In such a composition, faith, hope, Albina, the team works and now.
The current composition, like the previous ones, started very sharply, immediately received an award at the RMA-04 ceremony, for the song "no more no longer", filled with Valery Meladze. It turns out a magnificent, soulful clip "The world I did not know before you."

2005 began with trouble. Vera Brezhnev, riding skiing, received a spine injury. Fears of fans, fortunately, did not materialized. Faith has no complications. Another duet work appears on the public review - with a popular Rap team "TNMK". The clip is called "there is nothing worse than being like everything." Still, programs are published with the participation of "VIA GRA". For example, shown in ORT in 2005, "Raffle" with faith, "on Saturday evening", "full contact", on which the group "Brilliant", big premiere and many, many others were defeated with a huge translate in the musical battle. "VIA Gra" continues to bargain the media: shooting in magazines "Maxim", "7 days", publications in the "hammer" and "Komsomolskaya Pravda". The list is regularly updated, so it is not necessary to list everything. One can safely say one thing - the "VIA Gra" group is a phenomenon that has a lot of positive sides that distinguish it from other musical groups. She is able to conquer all the new peaks, to strive and surprise with her novelty. In creative plans, there are still a lot of ideas and ideas, so we can safely say that the subsequent pages of the group's history will not be worse than the previous ones.
After all, there is no limit to excellence. "

2002
The year of the horse for the most sexy team at all post-Soviet space has become a year of great change and transformations. In the spring duet turned into a trio. The motivating impetus to changes in the composition was the desire of the Hope of Granovskaya to become a mother and temporarily leave the group.

If you listen to this thing seriously, it will, indeed, a big slip. Because she is superlight. And generally super! The range of positive emotions from a light smile to a cheerful laughter is provided to you, "what I have done", "bomb", a protest song, which in itself is already interesting because of the not typical of such sensations for the post-Soviet pop. We blow up this world with music and fresh energy until he died from boredom! "Would you let me go", sensual recognition in love. In love! Whatever they say, "now or never", in this song - aabusive freedom, as in a dream. So why not take advantage of it! If you can now change everything around, why wait? I urgently proceed to the positive deconstruction of objective reality, "hug me", another confirmation of the rapid upcoming matriarchy and no less inevitably impending female polygamy.
