The top three finalists of the Russian stage of international competition gbob-2005. Of the 15 participants in the first semifinal, on the 7th November was held in the club "B-2", the jury chose the group "Life'n'Joy!" (Moscow), "The Last Refuge" (Nizhny Novgorod) and "Angara" (Moscow). Questionable choice. If the first of these groups had none of those no doubt it was so good, the selection of the jury looks at the second and third group of highly controversial and improvident. However, first things first. "Choice is not easy - we must remember that we choose not only for themselves, and choose to travel and performances in London and it's not in the language of power and understand, or at least predict. what music would understand and accept Western jury and audience and music as we can to win, "- said in a press release from the competition. In fact, not a fact that the Russian ear pleasing music audience is just a lot of fun and ear London audiophile. Last year, the jury appreciated the winners of the group "Salvador" - it 5th place in London. But while it's very vague positions itself in the home. The above does not mean that it is desirable to sing in English. The same "Salvador" sang in London in Russian. But consider the mentality of the British music still have. Latin rock-they want, but like a normal Russian rock - a large one more question. What is good for the "invasion", it can be good for gbob. However, the converse case. The competition team, "stereo" from St. Petersburg. And this was the Russian rock. Unexpected losses on a nice keyboard and guitar could not offset not hit material. Played smooth and dull. Continuation of the program Homel "Contour". The fact that the Belarusian gbob stage attend international competition yet, and in contrast to the Ukrainian groups, White Russians in the Russian championship. Pronounce, the verses of rap and singing in the choir at the top was already taken for groups of young heavy direction. But here is the situation through blatant hypocrisy of the notes in those moments when the singer aggravated trying to sing. A good rhythm section, but the lie and even twang singing ... Alas, in London it is not understood. The biggest fan led to the competition group "Scream". But the cry was squeak. At first, open temporitm swam stubbornly refused to agree to merge, and is in the middle of the first song, the rhythm section simply collapsed. When the singer was very sharp last notes, the situation was reversed. But. Surprise a lot of "Panama" (Moscow) Leading the competition said Nick Rock-n-Roll, as long as they are looking for their own style, and that is always playing together ... enter on stage three humble guys, and suddenly an incredible mix of funk, fusion and what they, "jazz". In addition, under the've not mix, a salad, but a cake. That is, 16 cycles of funk, 16 bars rock n 'roll, then 32 cycles of jazz-rock. Original approach and some have used. They are also then began to sing jazz improvisation, and suddenly spoiled impression. Because to sing it, to say the least, weak. But those 15 minutes still rocked the stage "B-2". Promising team. Group "SUR" resting on his soloists. Soloist Aneris crazy just PJ Harvey, and it perfectly audible. But here cares. Aneris very interesting, and what appears to sing like. However, half of the invented remains somewhere deep in her throat, and not reaching the microphone. By a wide vocal range from low to gasp otherworldly cry, there is little left to the listener. Whether a supply problem, the voice of the night was cold - difficult to assess. Potential red-haired girl heels dense very large, it is artistic and inventive. But it was not her day. "The Last Resort" is weighted coherent rhythm and blues and is also known outside of his native Nizhny Novgorod. Qualitatively new song from a sexy little blonde, powerful sound - all satisfied. Not satisfied that word impossible in this dense sound look. She does not sing consonants. But if not in the English language, why should such a way of singing that is missing a few consonants subject, in Russian - completely defeats the purpose. Moscow «Life'n'Joy!" Has participated in last year's competition, was a finalist for the Russian and a little bit lost, "El Salvador." This time, "Life'n'Joy!" And his expansive singer Oksana Kochubey raises the bar for the whole competition. That does not guarantee a win, of course. Blues and rhythm and blues performed by Oksana course refers to Janis Joplin, but it is not limited. The charismatic singer with a colorful singing leaps and prances, rages and fumes, not knocking for a moment breathing. Now «Life'n'Joy!" Became one of the top blues bands in Moscow, and it seems clear that the brightest future. "Subwau seyshn" - also very demand-Club group capital. Used among many musicians, but they are used for other purposes. Trumpet and trombone overlapping keys are nothing to add to the sound stage and singer screamed behind the music. In addition, the stage was showman to do anything yet. Powerful hard-rock in the spirit of Faith No More ShowGroup "Kommanda Gu." "In the spirit" - is the key word, because the source is detected easily, and then to listen to the group if it is not interesting. They play smoothly, singer sings loudly and incoherently. Like thousands of other similar groups. No raisins. So goes the refrain of the song phrase "not important" - so why would sing about it? It does not matter. The opening of the first day of competition, the group "Almost Famous" was. The fact that. The lead singer of the group at once like a young Ozzy Osbourne and a young Freddie Mercury And that's no joke. Jumps Charismatic long-haired beautiful singer energetically, lays hands on hips, keeping your nose for a particular voice frequency. All this but need it for the most part, just to say "Fuck you" in different variations, but - fascinating. Slap bass is a substantial role in another drive and after, this "fuck you", does not give peace. The arrangements are sometimes reminiscent of the good old "Slade", but the sound is original and fresh. The mind boggles as to prevent judges, "Almost Famous." To the final, and it is now in the era of gipermodnyh "Franz Ferdinand" Blunder jury. Says of "Divers" nothing, because of the very small groups of musical merits it, and go directly to the "urban culture." Re-weighted Russian rock, but without drive. Very interesting texts in the spirit of "One must learn to breathe", unfortunately not for London. Gentle melodies and optional guitar solos - as well. The fact that the singer can sing, it was found only in the last vocalization. Get along with his remarkable voice of singer texts somehow. St. Petersburg "Eyforiya." - This is the same "Aria", only paler. For as Kipelov or Golden Eagle sing, can not. Another thing - kitsch trash their countrymen, "RA" is. We can still remember the early "Beatles", and can save a group of "children." But an idiot optimistic song "The Best Day" was the most beautiful songs of the evening. You can immediately sing. It is only necessary to make a pioneer expression. Or "Beatles". Won the first semi-finals, "gbob" group "Angara". Jury missed this Russian rock with guitars and keys fuzovymi finals. She probably deserved it. "Your smile, your tricks" - Played professionally. The second song, "Ballad" was less convincing. The singer is also not convinced by looking into the eyes "of London." The controversial decision of the jury, which was a lot in the past year. However, we recall, last year did not disappoint the final jury selection. This year, incidentally, the jury was representative: Armen Grigoryan (leader of the "crematorium"), Alexander Ivy ("Echo of Moscow"), Butch, Valery Maryanov, Inna Zhelannaya, Alexander "Chacha" Ivanov ("naive"), Alexander Protchenko (Composer). So, from the first semi-final took place in «Life'n'Joy!" (Moscow), "The Last Refuge" (Nizhny Novgorod) and "Angara" (Moscow). And not the brightest, "Almost Famous" and "Panama" was. Vadim Ponomarev, is NEWSmusic.ru second semifinal gbob-2005 on 8 November will be the club "B-2" held in 19 hours.
