The group has brilliant compositions by year. What happened to the fate of the brightest soloists of the group “Brilliant”

Popular Russian female pop group.

Probably the most bright group in the history of the Russian pop industry, “Brilliant” began its existence almost 20 years ago, back in 1995. The team consisted of three soloists - Olga Orlova, Polina Iodi and Varvara Koroleva. Already in the first year of its existence it was recorded debut single « ».

A year later, the first album “There, Only There” is released, but further fate The group is overshadowed by the departure of Varvara right before the tour. In her place they take Irina Lukyanova and with this composition the girls will travel all over Russia. The newly appointed artistic director of the group very quickly becomes its member, marking the “golden age of the group” in its most stable composition. The videos “” and “Cha-cha-cha”, performed and filmed by this cast, quickly make the group incredibly popular and bring recognition from the public. But, alas, less than a year later the group family circumstances Polina leaves.

A year later, in 1999, Ksenia Novikova joined the group. The songs “” and “” are recorded with her participation. The video for the last song was considered too erotic and was even removed from rotation for a while. However, the group was not destined to perform with one lineup for a long time - Olga Orlova, who hid her pregnancy, left with a scandal. She is even cut out of the video for the song "". But in the album “About Love”, released the same year, her voice is still heard.

With Olga's departure, Zhanna's leadership participation in the group noticeably increases, becoming the most prominent soloist. The composition of the group is being supplemented, with which songs will be sung and videos will be shot - “And I still flew”, “Over the Four Seas” (an album of the same name was also recorded). Soon, new changes await the group, and former figure skater Anna Semenovich takes the place of Irina, who left due to pregnancy. New line-up featured in the single and video “Orange Song”. Alas, Zhanna, busy at that time in many other projects, soon decides to leave the group and start solo career.

Nadezhda Ruchka becomes the new soloist. The changed composition worked fruitfully during 2005-2007, generating hits - “Palms in Pairs” and “ Oriental tales", long remembered by the viewer for its joyful sunny atmosphere.

Over the next couple of years, the group was plagued by constant lineup changes, which negatively affected both creativity and the mood of the public. In addition, strong competition from many other female groups leads to the fact that the Brilliant cease to interest the public as before. But who hasn’t been among them... After Yullina Lukashina’s arrival, the group finally manages to record the successful songs “Odnoklassniki” and “You Know, Darling.”

A year later, the composition of the group changes again - the star of Marina Berezhnaya rises, with whom the group records the singles “Ball” and “Morning”, for which videos will soon be recorded. There are a lot of rumors in the press about the upcoming album, but Blestyashchie are in no hurry to please fans.

In 2011, Ksenya Novikova returned to the group, which gives the Brilliant a new breath and new song"Love". Regular changes in the lineup, however, do not interfere with the recording and rotation of videos for the songs “My Darling,” “From What,” and “Green Eyes.” To this day, the group exists consisting of Ksenia Novikova, Nadezhda Ruchka, Anastasia Osipova and Marina Berezhnaya. The brilliant ones not only continue to exist, but also delight the public with new achievements.

Back in 1995, composer and producer Andrei Grozny, as well as Andrei Shlykov, decided to create a girl’s musical group. This is how the story of the “Brilliant” group began.

Many years have passed, and the composition of “Brilliant” has changed several times. Over the entire period, there were 17 girls as soloists of the group. We will tell about the fate of the brightest of them in this material.

Olga Orlova, 40 years old

This girl was the first to be invited to join the “Brilliant” group. Her contract ended in 2000, but Olga had no intention of leaving the team. It was only when the lead singer became pregnant and it became impossible to hide this fact that she was asked to leave the group.

After returning to the stage, Orlova tried to start a solo career, but did not shine so often. Last year, Olga became one of the hosts of the Dom-2 show. True, she soon got tired of taking part in this whole farce and the ex-soloist of “Brilliant” said that she was leaving. It is not yet known for certain whether this is forever or Olga will return.

Varvara Koroleva, 39 years old

The girl was also in the first line-up of the team. After a year of performing, Varvara became so interested in rock climbing that she left the group and never returned to show business.

Polina Iodis, 39 years old

After three years in the group, Polina radically changed her life. She became interested in extreme sports, especially surfing. Iodis is one of the founders of the Russian Surfing Federation. In addition, the woman is doing well in her personal life: she is married and has two children.

Irina Lukyanova, 41 years old

She performed in the group until 2003. After that, she devoted herself entirely to her family. Today Irina is raising 4 children from two marriages and is quite happy.

Much is known about the fate of this singer, even too much. After leaving Brilliant, Zhanna began a very successful solo career. Shortly after the birth of her son Plato, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. At the beginning, it seemed that the singer had overcome the disease, but 2 years later she died.

Ksenia Novikova, 38 years old

She became the leader of the team after Friske left. She worked at Blestyaschiye for almost 12 years. She left and returned, moreover, now she is again in the main part of the group. She was married to businessman Andrei Sereda, to whom she gave birth to two children. The divorce did not go without trial, the ex took the children abroad, and Ksenia did not see them for about a year. In the end, everything seemed to end well. In 2015, Novikova married for the second time.

Yulia Kovalchuk, 35 years old

The girl joined the group when she was only 19 years old. Until she was 25, she was an integral part of the team, but then she decided to start a solo career. On the personal front, Yulia also seems to be doing well: she is married to singer Alexei Chumakov, to whom she gave birth to a daughter last year.

Anna Semenovich, 38 years old

Former figure skater turned journalist. When Anna interviewed the “Brilliant” team, she was invited to the group, in which she worked from 2003 to 2007.

Anastasia Osipova, 33 years old

She sang in the group for 8 years, taking Semenovich’s place. Like many other soloists, she left the group when she became pregnant. In 2016, she got married and gave birth.

Nadezhda Ruchka, 37 years old

She came to the group from another group called Party. Last year she gave birth to a son from oil worker Denis Boyarko.

Natalia Friske, 32 years old

Professional ballerina Oksana is a star debut video group "Not Given". Oksana worked in the group for 2 years - from 2003 to 2005. During this time, the artist managed to divorce former member group “Na-Na” by Vladimir Levkin and marry millionaire Anton Petrov (the one who left the pregnant MakSim in 2014). Out of desire to become a mother, the artist left the team. Oksana and her second husband had two daughters, but later the couple separated, and Oksana has a son from her next relationship with businessman Sergei Tsvitnenko.

Polina Iodis and Varvara Koroleva, “Brilliant”

In 1995, Polina Iodis abandoned her studies at law school and began a stage career. Polina sang in the first cast of “Brilliant”. Tours, videos, fans, fees... But one day Polina realized that all this was not for her. She was attracted by the ocean and surfing! The decision was made: a break with my past life, and a little later - a move to Bali. Polina became one of the founders of the Surfing Federation and the Russian Championship in this sport, which she herself won for three years in a row. Polina organizes events, surf camps in Europe, writes articles and films what she loves so much and what she lives by. Nicole, Polina's daughter, appeared in Bali. Varvara lasted even less in “Sparkles” and also preferred sports to music. But instead of waves, the girl chose mountains and began to climb professionally.

Alena Vinnitskaya, “Via Gra”

“Alena, save yourself before it’s too late!” - this phrase from the song “Attempt No. 5” was picked up by the whole country. Alena (whose real name is Olga) in a duet with Granovskaya took on the leading solo parts, so Nadezhda, without a twinge of conscience, decided to improve her personal life, but returned to the group a few weeks after the birth of the baby. After this, the fickle Granovskaya left VIA Gro and returned again, so she became a real star team. And Vinnitskaya, having survived four more personnel changes, left “ VIA Gra” in 2003, starting a solo career. Now Alena lives and works in her homeland - Ukraine. For many years Alena has been faithful to her husband, producer Sergei Alekseev, whom she married back in 1995. The couple has no children.

Maria Alalykina, “Factory”

Masha left the group quite quickly (in August 2003) to devote herself to her family. But few people know that the former artist not only got married, but converted to Islam! This was demanded by Masha’s husband, lawyer Alexei Zuenko, to whom Alalykina gave birth to a daughter. True, family happiness did not last long: the man left Masha for another. Alalykina did not take off her hijab and is now raising her daughter Katya in the traditions of Islam.

Elizaveta Rodnyanskaya, “Hands Up!”

“Student”, “Move your body” and, of course, “Song” from the first album “Breathe Evenly” were recorded with the participation of Lisa. Together with the guys, she also starred in the insert of the debut cassette, where she was listed as a member of the group. Rodnyanskaya regularly performed with Zhukov and Potekhin, but Elizaveta no longer worked on the second record. The singer began to develop own project MeliSSa, where he still works.
