"Chart Dozen" as Best Rock Artist

7th March on the "Olympic" was traditionally annual ceremony of the Russian Music Award in the field of rock 'n' roll "Chart Dozen", which grew to three years instead of the same name hit parade "Nashe Radio". This year the prize was in difficult conditions of the crisis, held not only financial, but also the music, and therefore all were waiting with interest to see if the ceremony, in order to convince the public that is in the national rock still is not so bad . Last year was difficult for the Russian rock-and-roll: dilapidated team frustrated burning sank concert sharp, and even many of the top performers were forced with many years of the rotation of the club-thousanders, "move" to a more modest venues. Something strange is happening to himself: "Our Radio", which is completely closed by the new name. Not without losses and the hit parade "Chart Dozen" in April of last year left him leading Raisa Shabanov, with the departure of a transfer has lost its charm and good taste intelligent. But the ceremony itself, but more of a success than a failure. Led her to this time DJ "Nashe Radio" (which removes the audience from their sense of humor) and Pelagia and Maxim Leonids. The duo turned out quite controversial: Pelagia did something wrong in his good nature and positive, and Maxim Leonids, on the contrary, cold and dry, but generally do not cause the viewer without rejection. Empty seats in the "Olympic" almost not, but this time on the side of platform tickets even on sale, so attracted, despite the full house, the "Chart Dozen" fewer viewers than in previous years. The stage was divided into two parts, and multiple monitors can not talk about the show to impress. It was not as bright as in the first year, without special effects and pyrotechnics without orchestra and a few scenes, but it will preserve quality and very pleasant. At this time, we are without a lot of enthusiasm and vruchantov big names that do the ceremony more warm and less academic: There were no envelopes and the strum excitement that accompanied their discovery on the other honors and awards, went to a metal frame, flies scene. Sound disappointed. Not to say that it was very bad, but many of the songs sounded so sharp that nasty cut ear. The "DDT", "Mummy Troll" and "King and the Clown" was to make it impossible for the words and Helavisa, the purity and beauty of the voice because of poorly rebuilt vehicles a little hoarse. In the speech of DDT, opens the ceremony, was not the best, and the light that traveled through the area of the stadium, the attention of the group, and unpleasantly affected by the eyes of the spectator stands. But then the situation has changed, and although we can not say that the light is somehow unusual, but many and was taken from a separate statement for each group. Opened the ceremony, the group "DDT". By tradition, the concert started at 6:00 in the evening, when it. Approximately one third of students in the street Yury Shevchuk again rejected the old hits, but his sentence was very ideologically and politically sensitive, "Born of the Night," "The Beast", "come for you", "Send me to write." And before you perform the song "Mama, this rock 'n' roll is" Yuri Shevchuk gave a speech, and perhaps this was the main thing is that the audience that she still remembers to supply Rock Award. Shevchuk said he once nightmares and could not have imagined what would become abandoned Russian rock, rocker play clubs with a striptease on pole and support "Cop power." "What song are you singing - live in a country, - he concluded -. Rock - not when everything is ok rock -. If something bad." Yury Shevchuk shown that such "Cop power" in Russia more, none of which made the scene went, not all hot, crazy, free. Also "The King and the Clown", which appears to be fooling around on stage looked quite decent. Pot stopped experimenting with looks, a neat, combed, not build grimaces vampire. There was a gap, but the gap is a discrete, careful. "Kipelov" trying to recall that play rock, performing ideological "will and intellect", but the current generation of the song is unclear. She comes from a different time, and no matter what Valery Kipelov room sings the words of the audience do not know. But voluntarily podpeli "Careless Angel" and "Get up, get up, the fear of" the song "Dirt" and a surprise for the fans of the Russian hard because they can not hear often in concert. Sergei Mihalok tried to read her provocative lyrics, but it is difficult to call it a provocation, because they sound at every concert and equally. They have become accustomed. You are not, is shocking. His live set "Lapis" played a clean, fun, defiantly. The song "Capital" Hall met a deafening scream. "Mill" surprise performance of "Ishtar" in an unusual composition "Bolero" by Ravel and the legendary White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane and Alexander F. Sklyar led the song with his future album. Otherwise, all the rooms were quite predictable, if not otherwise "hits." Surprise performances Svyatoslav Vakarchuk who performed the song in the acoustics of the project moonlighting "Salt" was. Generally, this time to get some international ceremony: Moldovans "Zdob si Zdub" Baits "Brainstorm," White Russians "Liapis Trubetskoy" Vakarchuk Ukrainians living abroad Helavisa. And that's it - Russian rock. Won "Brainstorm" the award for best video "Waves" It is unclear why the scene publishes Maxim Leonidov with a single song, and after the performance of "King and the Clown" and "Kipelov." After it was announced, the audience reached for the door. By the way, won Maxim Leonids in the category "Poetry", and it is not clear who will vote for him if his power will result in no interest of the listener. Last "Chart Dozen" on the principle instead: do not invite the same group twice. Exceptions are only for the "pilot" made, but in the third year of the "run out", which means a relatively narrow repertoire of "Nashe Radio" and the entire Russian rock as a whole, a lot of names, but not worthy. Although it was very nice, on the big stage band "Dancing minus", which do not appear on sites like level. But their performance was somewhat pale and uniform. A special place in the set list, the winner of the "Salt", in which artists and unknown, and star of the national rock scene Russian folk songs recorded in modern sound. The project turned out to be quite controversial: Some find it perhaps instructive, and someone - a mockery of the tradition. The winner of this project, and the "hacking" allowed to sing a song, and if Moscow group "Zveroboy" Energy performance was worthy stadium, Eugenia Maximova is boring weigh the audience, vague performance of the song "Maple you fell my." As with the nominations themselves, then they will probably have the slightest interest. Avoid the impression that the room was sick and worried. Despite the fact that "Our Radio" persistent "Chart Dozen" positioned as the main prize of the country-rock, most of the audience takes it as a celebration, not paying attention to the awards. Despite the fact that "Our Radio" persistent "Chart Dozen" as the main prize of the country-rock positioned to take most viewers it as a celebration, not paying attention to the reward "Not surprisingly, the triumphant" Chart Dozen "was a group of "Agatha Christie" the "Nashe Radio" has decided to award posthumously: their farewell concert "Epilogue" in the "Olympic" was the best concert of the year, and the song "Heartbeat" won "Song." In general, the book prizes went to almost everyone. Deprived group only "Tequilajazzz" who were for the jury, but that the audience vote ignored. However, it is predictable: a subjective psychedelic "Tequila" It is unlikely close enough mass and aspect in their taste in music listeners "Nashe Radio" be. Yevgeny Fyodorov, and the company has been nominated in three categories, but left without prizes. Not quite predictable was the victory of the "aquarium" in the "Album" from the album "Pushkinskaya 10". Here is the "Aquarium" beat group "Spleen", but Alexander Vassiliev was best soloist of the year, beat Konstantin Kincheva and Ilya Lagutenko, and was. Best soloist Zemfira that already in this category, for it to be taken Singers do not come for the victory and a video message does not completely ignore his victory. Better than a group are to "Mummy Troll", which bypassed the winners «RAMP-2009" - group "." The most requested online "Liapis Trubetskoy Nashe Radio Chaif" group was "" and legend recognized "Time Machine" By the way. written book, "The Time Machine" by Michael Margolis, has also been recognized as the best. Again nomination bypassed group "pilot" that can annually produce hits and albums, but for a book and does not apply. not remember the " Nashe Radio "and the group" lumens "which has a crazy concert fees, but rarely is played in the radio rotation, and for several years the" invasion ". Therefore say that the "Chart Dozen" awards objectively the best of the best, not quite right. The results of the "Chart Dozen" as a little surprise: discoveries and feelings were not, and the same names are numerous Prices, only changing their orientation. In this regard, "RAMP", which seems to many biased, diverse and less format. Of course, these are two completely different prices, but to compare them involuntarily, as they try to explain both what is best in the national alternative music. But despite the criticism "Chart Dozen" - the event that was eagerly for the fans, no matter who wins, it is important that the audience the opportunity to enjoy a five-hour live show and hear your favorite musicians had.
