Via Gra group - composition, photos, videos, listen to songs. What is the new composition of Viagra? who joined the new group "Viagra"

Thu, 17/04/2014 - 14:21

Since January 1, 2013 the hottest women's team under the provocative name "VIA Gra" broke up. Over the years of its existence on the Russian pop scene, the hottest group has changed many lineups. Among the members of the group, only the attractiveness of the girls who came to it remained unchanged. Let's remember all the members of the team and rank their sexuality.

Alena Vinnitskaya

Years in the group

2000–2003

Who was

She started writing poetry at the age of 5, and as a child she started a serious business - she made dolls with her own hands, and then sold tickets to relatives for puppet shows. Music career I started in my teens - after listening to the Kino group, I learned to play the guitar, sing my own songs and perform in every sense rock. Immediately before joining VIA Gra, she sewed handbags, worked as a secretary in an insurance company, and was a VJ and radio host. First Music band, created by Vinnitskaya, was called in equally delicious and romantic - “The Last Unicorn”. (6 points)

Role in the team

Vinnitskaya was the very first participant of VIA Gra, to which producer Dmitry Kostyuk chose two more girls at the casting - Yulia and Marina. However, with this composition, the project remained on paper, Yulia and Marina were left out, and Nadezhda Granovskaya was paired with Alena. This is where the legend actually begins. Alena was responsible for the vocal parts, Nadezhda was nice to watch - the classic division of labor in music production. The first album, “Attempt No. 5,” which seems from the perspective of 2014 to be a pure classic, is entirely the responsibility of this duo. Although it is generally accepted that Brezhneva, Sedokova and Granovskaya are the golden cast of “VIA Gra”, we would venture to argue: the pop singer was first given battle by these women and precisely on this album, there is not a single insignificant thing here, all the songs are like pearls in Cleopatra’s box - on selection! (7 points)

Who now

Already 11 years have passed since Vinnitskaya, who calls herself the only glam pop-rock performer in Ukraine, has nothing to do with the sex band that made her famous. And it's worth saying that Solo career The artist’s career is developing quite successfully: 8 albums, not bad (compared to Anna Sedokova’s work, absolutely gorgeous) singles, participation in the soundtrack to “The Hunt for Piranha”, not a single blemish on her reputation, nothing to be ashamed of. IN Lately Vinnitskaya has expanded in breadth: she creates a capsule collection for the Gwen Stefani brand, calls on Ukrainians to unite (while quoting Akhmatova: “But we lie down in it and become it, that’s why we call this land ours”), cancels tours in Crimea and participates in various charity programs. (6 points)

Sex factor

It is extremely rare that she exposes herself so that the average man has time to check out all the charms, but certain conclusions can be drawn from what he sees. She knows how to present herself beautifully, but even if you crack it, Granovskaya clearly has a better situation with her data. Advocates of bodily purity may be confused by the tattoo on Alena’s shoulder, on the other hand, for some it is an extra positive argument. (6 points)

Nadezhda Granovskaya

Years in the group

2000–2002, 2002–2006, 2009–2011

Who was

A hot thing from the Ukrainian village of Zbruchovka, who in her youth sent her nude photographs to Konstantin Meladze and, naturally, passed the casting. We are all people, and who wouldn’t take it? Having moved to Kyiv, at first I only communicated with producers and Alena Vinnitskaya. Meladze Sr. would later call her Mowgli in female guise, since she could not really express herself in either Russian or Ukrainian at that time; she spoke Surzhik. (3 points)

Role in the team

Producer Kostyuk called Nadezhda Meikher “the main Viagra”, paying tribute to her seductive habit, Konstantin Meladze gave new surname Granovskaya for a successful combination with the name of the project - and it was she who was destined to eventually become the de facto face of the group, its mascot and long-liver. She is a three-time soloist of VIA Gra, although after each departure she said that this was for good. In total, Granovskaya, who spent about eight years on the Kyiv pop plantation, eventually outlived Vinnitskaya, Sedokova and other girls up to Bushmina. The situation for such a cynical conveyor of girls' souls as VIA Gra is truly unique: as they say, from Ilyich to Ilyich without a heart attack or paralysis. (10 points)

Who now

The author of the collection of intimate poems “Momentary Attraction” (“And in a pause over personal admiration, you will not notice my departure; I look in the mirror with contempt and think what a freak you are...”) recently starred in a Ukrainian romantic comedy, and continues to participate in the transformation show “One to One”, where she gets used to the images of Gurchenko, Leontiev and prepares for a solo career - this will be, according to the artist, something “with retro motifs, in the spirit of the 60s and with elements of Italy.” (3 points)

Sex factor

One fact that immediately puts everything in its place: she has been wearing a bra since she was nine years old. (8 points)

Tatyana Naynik

Years in the group

2002

Who was

A native of St. Petersburg, a model and a graduate of a dog training school, who at one time dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. As a child, she did rhythmic gymnastics and ballet, was thin and considered herself an ugly duckling. She got into the modeling business with the help of her grandmother, who noticed an advertisement for a beauty contest and sent her granddaughter there to show business - again thanks to photographs sent to Konstantin Meladze. Naynik claims that she was invited to the team twice: the first time she did not go, considering the name vulgar and the songs incomprehensible. (4 points)

Role in the team

Against the general background, Naynik seems to be an actress of the second row - this is a figure completely lost among her companions. She only had the chance to stay in the zone of special male attention for six months: they hired Tatyana to replace Granovskaya, who had gone on maternity leave, and when she wanted to return, the replacement was asked to reel in her fishing rods. As part of the group, busty Daphne appeared in the videos for “Stop! Stop! Stop!" and “Good Morning, Dad!”, and in addition, she took part in the deluxe edition of the album “Attempt No. 5”. You can’t accomplish much in six months, of course, but in any case this cannot be called a full-fledged contribution to the development of VIA Gra. (4 points)

Who now

Immediately after VIA Gra for a long time she restored her nerves with a psychotherapist and still complains about the bloody regime of the Georgian tyrant Meladze. In minutes peace of mind managed to finish her pedagogical education in St. Petersburg, and now she produces and at the same time sings in the girl group Maybe. He puts all his time, money and soul into this project. (3 points)

Sex factor

Tatyana has no shortage of passion, but in six months Russian men hardly had time to taste and feel her curves. The producers of the group probably liked the hairy-eyed dark woman (otherwise why the hell would they have hired her), but after filming for Maxim magazine they claimed that she was the only one in the group that had to be photoshopped. (5 points)

Anna Sedokova

Years in the group

2002–2004

Who was

In the case of Sedokova, her life path before joining the group is practically no different from her companions: she loves music since childhood, a diligent student at school, straight A's, her mother is not overjoyed. In later life, working as a model, TV presenter and VJ - Anna seemed to have decided to try all types of vacancies from the “Arts and Entertainment” section of recruiting sites. Even as a child, I firmly knew that I would grow up and certainly become an artist - and so it happened. (7 points)

Role in the team

I got into the group only the second time, without first passing the selection for minors. It’s hard to imagine the history of the team without the red-haired Sedokova - this meeting seemed to be organized in heaven, everything came together in the most correct way. Largely thanks to Sedokova, that same lineup with Granovskaya and Brezhneva was recognized as the strongest, golden, diamond and sexiest in the entire history of the project. To understand exactly what contribution Sedokova made, just listen to a couple of songs at random from the album “Stop! Removed,” which is celebrating its anniversary today, talents will be revealed wide open, take away those who are ready. (9 points)

Who now

The author of the book “The Art of Seduction” has a charming Twitter and a breathtaking Instagram, lives in Los Angeles, participates in Russian and Ukrainian TV shows, releases his own clothing line, records some songs and shoots some videos. She was married twice - to football player Belkevich and the main character of the show “The Bachelor” Maxim Chernyavsky. IN musically, alas, everything is extremely deplorable: the only more or less memorable composition can be called only the duet with Misha Krupin “Unsafe”, but otherwise it is inferior to almost all of its comrades in the group, who went on a solo binge. However, Anna herself is optimistic and encourages her ill-wishers on the microblog: “I (as you think) am just a stupid girl with boobs, that’s why I got a red medal in school and a red diploma in music, higher education, several business projects that bring pleasure and income, a team of 20 people who loves me very much.” (5 points)

Sex factor

Anna Vladimirovna is not just the most vigorous woman among those who have ever exposed body parts in public, she, as they said in the legendary film, is sex itself. The virgin goddess has rounded features in all the grandeur of brilliant nakedness. At the same time, the singer is proud that all her filming took place in a bra and underwear - nowhere, nowhere will you see a completely naked Sedokova, dammit, sadly. (9 points)

Vera Brezhneva

Years in the group

2003–2007

Who was

Another story from the category of “invested in children from childhood and received a star at the end.” Gymnastics, karate, handball, music school, participation in school competitions and performances - development was comprehensive, Vera tried to succeed in everything. The “Miss Dnepropetrovsk” competition changed the situation in life - during the selections there, the producers of “VIA Gra” noticed the beauty, and as a result she took the place of Alena Vinnitskaya. (5 points)

Role in the team

Along with Granovskaya and Sedokova, she was the main creator of the group’s success and a member of its golden lineup. It is she who is considered to be a typical “Viagra”, which turns men on with half a turn with one flutter of her eyelashes: back then, in 2003, she gave a heart for a long memory, flew down like an autumn leaf. And there was no person who would tell her “Stop! Stop! Stop!". Over the 4 years of Vera’s presence in the group, the entire classical repertoire was created: something that no normal corporate party or bachelorette party could do without. From “Kill My Girlfriend” to “False, But Stay” through “Biology” and “Diamonds”. (7 points)

Who now

Not a career, but a wonderful miracle that everyone will envy: a horse dose of hits already in the debut album, one of best songs new Russia “Love will save the world”, a super-successful sentimental duet with Dan Balan, honor and respect from listeners and critics, advertising contracts, leadership in all kinds of tops and ratings. The bar was set very high after leaving the group, and it will be more and more difficult to meet it. The initial application was too strong, but it’s all the more interesting to jump through your own exploits. (9 points)

Sex factor

She has been repeatedly recognized as the sexiest woman in Russia, the most stylish actress and beauty icon. Art must penetrate deeply into life, therefore it is not surprising that the “Sexy Bambina” praised by Vera for Russian-speaking citizens is herself. Presumably a very high percentage of sighted people are officially tilibonite for Vera, without fearing the devil, God, or Soviet power. (8 points)

Svetlana Loboda

Years in the group

2004

Who was

A music school, a circus academy, the first Ukrainian musical about Miklouho-Maclay “Equator” - by all indications, the traditional story of gradual entry into show business with an understanding of one’s own prospects in childhood is being hatched here. And Svetlana’s family is simple: her father works at a factory, her mother is an energy supplier, her grandmother is an opera singer, and her grandfather is a KGB officer who developed a plan to overthrow the dictator Batista in the Cuban jungle. “VIA Gra” was not the first serious experience in Loboda’s career - before that she sang as part of the “Cappuccino” trio and the self-created group “Ketch”. Loboda can be called the most prepared artist at the time of joining VIA Gra - take it and mold it without extra expenses. (7 points)

Role in the team

Now Svetlana is rarely remembered in the context of the group - she did not last so long as VIA Gra, only 4 months. In such a period of time you won’t be able to expand, you won’t be able to show off your product, you won’t even be able to make a loud scandal. So it turns out that all that can be presented in the face of eternity is the clip “Biology” and the filming of the musical “Sorochinskaya Fair”, where Valery Meladze was a devil, and the parodist Galtsev was a priest. (2 points)

Who now

Just as quickly as she was ready to immediately jump into the VIA Gra lineup, she just as quickly freed herself from her previous shackles and recorded her first solo single - less than a month has passed! Svetlana walked to real successes, for which even Lady Gaga would not be ashamed, long and hard, while simultaneously doing ordinary things: she participated in Eurovision 2009, organized social events and fought against domestic violence, coached children on the Ukrainian show “The Voice” , released her own clothing line. There were many worthy songs, but one was truly stellar - “40 degrees” released in 2012. Absolutely bomb level, jewelry precision and hand-crafted piece. Only Brezhneva can beat this; the others have nothing in their repertoire to beat. (8 points)

Sex factor

The habit is outstanding, prominent, raking hands will clearly appreciate the scale and volume. But somehow everything about Svetlana is too much - sometimes it’s scary. It was as if a golem had been brought to life by using random lines from a women's glossy magazine instead of magical formulas. (4 points)

Albina Dzhanabaeva

Years in the group

2004–2012

Who was

As a child, I wanted to become a doctor and one day I put a couple of drops of cologne in the nose of one boy, my first love, for a runny nose. Without music school And there was no need for a music school either. Having moved to Moscow at the age of 17, she studied at Gnesinka and acted in commercials and films. Albina joined the famous team straight from Korea - she was pulled out of the musical about Snow White, in which she played the main role, and on Korean. (5 points)

Role in the team

Tatyana Kotova, after leaving the group, stated that Albina was in a privileged position there because of her connection with Valery Meladze. As a matter of fact, all of Dzhanabaeva’s activities as part of VIA Gra for millions of housewives passed precisely under this sign - they took her because of Valera, they say, but she would never have made it into life. She started out as a backing vocalist, then became a full-fledged replacement for Svetlana Loboda, and made her debut in a new status in the video for “The World I Didn’t Know About Before You.” (6 points)

Who now

On this moment This is an actress who starred with Kirill Serebrennikov, a solo singer, a TV presenter, an independent person with her own point of view on the events taking place. Dzhanabaeva worked in the group for about eight years until its official closure in January 2013 - only Nadezhda Granovskaya has comparable experience. (5 points)

Sex factor

As the yellow headlines say, which contain only the naked truth, before VIA Gra, Dzhanabaeva did not have a nose, chest or figure. In this form, even the status of the beloved woman of pop mechanic Meladze Jr. would not help him get into the group - such are the cruel laws of effective show business. In her current state, Albina Borisovna is quite willing, but her soul does not begin to sing at the sight of her. (6 points)

Christina Kotz-Gottlieb

Years in the group

2006

Who was

Master of Sports in rhythmic gymnastics, a model from a family of Volga Germans, a regular participant in Ukrainian beauty contests, “Miss Donbass 2003”, a person of flexible views and the same body. The short-lived “Viagrazion” experience became for Christina just a stunning flash of life path, but didn’t really affect anything. (5 points)

Role in the team

She lasted in the group for about 3 months - this is the shortest shift in the entire long history of the sexploitation band. Even Loboda, who was going to win a red convertible on a bet when she reached six months of experience, worked longer than Kots-Gottlieb - 4 months! They hired the German after Granovskaya left and the contract was signed for 5 years, but after the release of the video for the song “Deceive, but stay,” she was turned away. As Christina herself says, the producers simply stopped answering her phone calls. Dmitry Kostyuk would later state that the singer was blown away after the first concert and she began asking for five-figure sums: “I want to get paid like Britney Spears.” (1 point)

Who now

After leaving the group, she rarely appeared in public; information about her future fate is extremely scarce. In 2009, she represented Ukraine in the finals of Miss Universe 2009; at the beginning of this year, the media blockade was interrupted by the release of her debut single “Trust Your Heart”. (2 points)

Sex factor

Hair below my butt, legs from my ears, a model background - I was torn out of life by cramped, inevitable beauty. Here the picture is clear, Odessa is red: magazines with Christina on the cover should be sold under the counter in limited quantities at Soyuzpechat kiosks. (6 points)

Olga Koryagina

Years in the group

2006–2007

Who was

“Miss Black Sea Region 2001” had never been involved in singing before participating in “VIA Gra”. Born in the Ukrainian city of Nikolaev, she was as far from musical affairs as the Decembrists were from the people, she worked as a model at fashion shows and photo shoots. (3 points)

Role in the team

She competed for the place of Nadezhda Granovskaya with the blonde Christina Kots-Gottlieb, after a long casting, she lost to her and, upset, went home. But Christina was never able to fully enjoy the success: after two months, the producers drove out the proud daughter of a coal magnate and accepted the brunette Koryagina into the team. Olga, by the way, also turned out to be too temporary a phenomenon: she managed to star in the videos of “L. M. L." and “The Flower and the Knife”, and then left the group for the standard female reason - she became pregnant. It was she who was then paid the largest maternity benefits in the history of VIA Gra - $10,000. (3 points)

Who now

Designer fashionable clothes, owner of the boutique and author of evening dresses for finalists of Ukrainian beauty contests. She now performs on stage under the name Olga Romanovskaya, and launched her solo career only last fall. Although Max Fadeev was going to take it on six years ago, give her songs written by his brother’s wife (singer Monokini) and thus blow up the music market. Didn't take it, didn't blow it up. And it didn’t work out for Olga herself either. (4 points)

Sex factor

Olga's measurements are, of course, all right. in perfect order- the man will gasp, the child will grunt. She looks like Parker Posey or a grown-up version of singer Elvira Tee - this, albeit a small one, is a plus; The sight of Olga does not take your breath away - this is a minus. (5 points)

Meseda Bagaudinova

Years in the group

2007–2009

Who was

She was born in Grozny, grew up in Kislovodsk, studied in Rostov-on-Don, performed at corporate events in the Rostov Municipal Department of Internal Affairs as part of the local group “Dreams”. In short, serious musical experience I was with Mrs. Bagaudinova before joining VIA Gra. (5 points)

Role in the team

The return of Granovskaya first knocked Tatyana Naynik out of the saddle, then Meseda Bagaudinova. However, the year and a half that Meseda spent in Viagra status is a very good period for the soloists of the second half of the 2000s. Meseda herself at one time came to replace Olga Koryagina, who had gone on maternity leave, and successfully closed the gap of the little black participant in the team. In her presence, VIA Gra recorded the brilliant “Kisses”, “Emancipation” and several songs of a less catchy nature. If Meseda was destined in heaven to sing “The higher the love, the lower the kisses,” together with Dzhanabaeva, and to disgrace herself no longer with any reasonable activity, then it is worth recognizing that the mission has been accomplished. (5 points)

Who now

Working in the group became a stage in Meseda’s life and allowed her to launch a solo project immediately after her dismissal. The new songs of the Avar Angelina Jolie did not bring any success, but she does not despair and believes that she has exactly the same chance of shooting as Brezhneva had in her time. Indeed, all that remains is to find an author who will write a bomb on the level of “Love will save the world” as quickly as possible. As Vadim Baykov sang in a similar situation: “I don’t have a hit, this place is vacant.” (3 points)

Sex factor

Eastern roughness, sweet curves - Meseda is capable of bringing anyone to the fall. Breathing heavily from passion, I undress, rustling. (6 points)

Tatyana Kotova

Years in the group

2008–2010

Who was

According to her diploma, she is an economist and anti-crisis manager, in fact she is “Miss Russia 2006” from a mining family, who has participated in beauty contests since childhood (the first title was “Miss Autumn 98” at the age of thirteen). Unlike her group companions, she never considered herself an ugly duckling, and even in school years signing autographs for excited boys. (4 points)

Role in the team

In March 2008, she replaced Vera Brezhneva and immediately got involved in the shooting of the video “I’m not afraid.” Next were “Emancipation”, “Antigeisha” and “Crazy” - far from last things in the work of VIA Gra. The passionate blonde Kotova looked next to the partners who were on her watch not like a lost sheep, but extremely dignified, which is why she spent two whole years. Even if it was impossible to see her singing even the word “mu” on the screen, you also need to be able to perform decorative and applied functions well. I left the group because I wanted to realize my goals. Creative skills to end. (3 points)

Who now

She is on a protein diet, appears in utilitarian Russian films with titles like “What Men Do,” and began her solo career with the song “He” written by Irina Dubtsova in 2010. Four years passed, Tatyana did not stand still, other songs were performed, but you know exactly as much about them as about the mentioned composition “He”. (3 points)

Sex factor

Beautiful woman Tatyana, very beautiful. Consider that there was no one more beautiful than her at VIA Gra. Your camp is built like church candles, your gaze is a sword-piercing gaze. In general, no complaints, just admiration. (8 points)

Eva Bushmina

Years in the group

2010–2012

Who was

The shot sparrow is not one of the shy ones; Yana Shvets decided to connect her fate with music long before VIA Gra. The native of the Lugansk region had her own solo project Lucky, and participation in the Ukrainian “Star Factory-3” under the supervision of Konstantin Meladze, and dancing in the ballet The Best, and working as a TV presenter. However, in order to make a big statement about myself, it was necessary to slightly change the name and break into VIA Gra. By this time, childhood friend Nastya Kamenskikh had already made a splash throughout the EurAsEC Customs Union along with Potap - Eva urgently needed to catch up to this level. (4 points)

Role in the team

Right while participating in the TV show “Star Factory. Super final." announced an early exit from the project and moved to VIA Gra, replacing Tatyana Kotova there. Things were approaching the end of the once glorious all-girl team, and Bushmina managed to participate in only three releases: “Get Out,” “A Day Without You” and “Hello, Mom!” It didn’t make any difference to the weather, but it didn’t spoil the overall performance either - given that the group existed in the mode of a fading sine wave, it would have been blasphemy to demand more. (5 points)

Who now

Less than two months after leaving the group, Bushmina presented a new song and herself as an independent pop unit. The most fashionable people of the new era were involved in the debut Ukrainian music: the author of the song “Myself” was singer Dmitry Monatik, and the sound producer was the lead singer of The Maneken project Evgeniy Filatov. In addition to promotion own creativity participated in the show “Yak dvi krapli”, where she impersonated Rihanna and Christina Aguilera. (5 points)

Sex factor

Something at the level of Kate Hudson or even higher, that is, not for everyone. However, headlines like “Eva Bushmina flashed something” flash on the Internet quite often, which means that such amateurs definitely exist in nature, there is no doubt about it. (6 points)

Santa Dimopoulos

Years in the group

2011–2012

Who was

World fitness champion from a Greek-Assyrian-Ukrainian family, law school graduate, event manager, dance teacher, model and TV presenter. In short, a multi-talented personality with an outstanding appearance. And without VIA Gra it would not have been lost, the basic parameters are too good. (7 points)

Role in the team

A graduate of the third season of the Ukrainian “Star Factory” came a year before the project was closed, replaced Nadezhda Granovskaya and took part only in the song “Hello, Mom!” (1 point)

Who now

She didn’t want to be either “one of” or “the little black one on the right” and left VIA Gra two months before the official closure of the group. At the moment, only one single, “When We Move,” has been released, which has not gained much success (unless you count the status of “Ukrainian Nicole Scherzinger” in the comments to the video posted on the Internet as such). So you have to kiss dolphins, get married for the third time and post erotic photos on Instagram, simultaneously quarreling with Anna Sedokova and sharing men with her. (2 points)

Sex factor

Dark and pumped up athlete, fit figure, elastic forms - Monsieur Meladze knew a lot about increments. Oriental flavor, as in the case of Meseda Bagaudinova, this is a barrel organ! (7 points)

For almost ten years now, their appearance on stage has been exciting the entire male population of the country. They increase potency, like the medicine of the same name, kindle passion in the hearts and delight fans with more and more new songs, videos, soloists...

Each participant " VIA Gra“went through a tough casting, demonstrating their talents and merits, so we can say with confidence: only the best bodies and faces made it into the team. Alena Vinnitskaya, Nadezhda Granovskaya, Anna Sedakova...Can't remember them all? We will help!

Before the anniversary concert of the VIA Gra group, which will take place on March 27, WomanJournal.ru decided to remember, watch and evaluate all the members of the sexiest group in the country.

VIA Gra soloist Alena Vinnitskaya

It was for her sake that the VIA Gra project was started: the talented, sexy and smart “girl with character” Alena Vinnitskaya is still associated by most listeners with the VIA Gra group.

But this Ukrainian pop diva was always not averse to classifying her work as rock music. In her youth, she listened to “Kino”, and founded her first musical group at the age of 19. The rock band with a sexy lead singer was called “The Last Unicorn”, but this project, contrary to the name, was not the last for Alena Vinnitskaya.

After a short break and work on television, Alena became the first soloist of the VIA Gra group. Later, the producers found a couple for the girl - singer Nadezhda Granovskaya. It was with this composition that the duo hit the first wave of fame with the song “Attempt number five.”

Three years later, Alena Vinnitskaya left the team. She later released a solo album, “Dolls,” in which she ridicules the beautiful and brainless puppets of show business, placing herself in contrast to them. She does not like to focus on the fact that she was a member of the VIA Gra group, but this project still remains the most successful in the artist’s creative career.

Now the ex-soloist of VIA Gra has seven solo albums. She is loved in Ukraine and not forgotten in Russia. However, Alena Vinnitskaya’s work is mainly intended for a Ukrainian audience.

VIA Gra soloist Nadezhda Granovskaya

She managed to stay among the soloists of VIA Gra the longest: from the first lineup to the last. Nadezhda Granovskaya periodically left the group - sometimes because of pregnancy, sometimes because difficult relationships within the ensemble. Other members of the group often complained about her complex character and stubborn disposition, but this is what helps the singer still stay afloat.

Throughout her childhood, Nadezhda Granovskaya studied at a choreographic school and dreamed of conquering the stage, so immediately after graduation educational institution went from the outback to Kyiv. The girl was lucky because during her visit to the capital of Ukraine she accidentally met Valery Meladze, who invited her to participate in the casting.

Nadezhda Granovskaya immediately sent her photographs to Moscow and - to her joy - became the lead singer of the VIA Gra group.

Later, when the duo transformed into the Granovskaya-Sedokova-Brezhnev trio, which was called the “golden lineup” of the VIA Gra group, the girls traveled all over the world, recorded the most popular compositions in the history of the ensemble, sold an incredible number of albums and even became stars in Japan. However, after five years of resounding success, Nadezhda Granovskaya left the group, and was replaced first by Olga Koryagina, and then by Meseda Bagaudinova.

But in January 2009, Nadezhda Granovskaya returned to VIA Gro again, and has no plans to leave yet.

VIA Gra soloist Tatyana Naynik

A professional fashion model from St. Petersburg, Tatyana Naynik, stayed in the VIA Gra group for only a few months. Having taken the place of the pregnant Nadezhda Granovskaya, this busty beauty recorded several compositions together with Alena Vinnitskaya and Anna Sedakova. However, the artist’s talent, charisma and sex appeal were not enough to replace Granovskaya forever: as soon as Nadezhda gave birth to a baby and decided to return to the group, Tatyana Naynik was sent back to St. Petersburg.

After this successful project, like VIA Gra, it was not easy for Tatyana Naynik to continue her career in show business. The girl was helped by the fact that she worked as a professional model, traveled around the world and posed for magazines, but Tatyana could not forget about the unfulfilled dream of a pop star.

Now Naynik produces and is a member of the girl group Maybe. The little-known group sometimes performs at corporate events and even records their own songs, but Tatyana Naynik herself is content with the rare attention of the press, which is interested in the artist only as an ex-soloist of VIA Gra.

VIA Gra soloist Anna Sedakova

Singer Anna Sedakova has always been considered one of the most seductive members of the VIA Gra group. Her magnificent bust on posters lured fans to concerts. Together with Vera Brezhneva and Nadezhda Granovskaya, this Kiev beauty conquered not only Russia and Ukraine, but also became widely known abroad.

When Anna Sedakova married football player Valentin Belkevich in 2004 and immediately became pregnant with his child, the producers were horrified. The artist left the group, and VIA Gra's ratings immediately fell. Photos of Anna Sedakova continued to be placed on posters, despite the fact that the girl had been replaced by new member- Svetlana Loboda.

Now Sedakova has a successful solo career as a singer and TV presenter. She writes books about how to seduce men, records new hits and stars in TV series. She divorced her first husband, and since February 2011 her husband is businessman Maxim Shevchenko.

In November 2010, when Anna appeared on anniversary concert group "VIA Gra" in Kyiv, the audience greeted her with incredible applause. Journalists later wrote that all VIA Gra fans are actually fans of Anna Sedakova, who to this day remains one of the sexiest stars national stage.

VIA Gra soloist Vera Brezhneva

Charming, sexy and talented Vera Brezhneva has been recognized more than once as a sex symbol of the national stage. She joined the VIA Gra group in 2002 - then the producer of the group kindly invited the singer to take the place of the soloist of the first line-up - Alena Vinnitskaya.

As part of VIA Gra, Vera Brezhneva gained the love of the audience, fame and, undoubtedly, vast experience in show business. In 2008, she decided to leave the team and start a solo career.

Brezhneva became a presenter on TV, simultaneously recorded several videos for her own songs, took part in the show “Ice Age” and won the title of “Sexiest Woman” in Russia.

After such successes on stage and television, Vera Brezhneva was invited to star in the film “Love in big city", where actor Alexey Chadov became her partner.

Busy life Vera Brezhneva would not be so happy without her beloved daughters, Sonya and Sarah. The girls have different fathers - the singer had a second child quite recently, in a marriage with Ukrainian businessman Mikhail Kiperman. They say that Vera Brezhneva has a very jealous husband, nevertheless, the girl continues to expose herself in front of cameras and still leads an active social life.

VIA Gra soloist Svetlana Loboda

A very brave and very enthusiastic person, Svetlana Loboda, took the place of Anna Sedakova in the VIA Gra group in 2004. The little-known singer immediately began to be compared with the previous participant - and this comparison was clearly not in favor of the new soloist.

Svetlana Loboda stayed in the group for only four months, but during this time she traveled all over Asia with VIA Groi, recorded new videos and established friendly relations with Valery Meladze. So, just a month after she left the group, the artist’s first solo song appeared on the radio. In 2009, she represented Ukraine at Eurovision, and now she has set about creating her own clothing brand.

In addition to the creative achievements of Svetlana Loboda, fans of the VIA Gra group love to discuss her appearance. They say that once a girl made an incredible amount plastic surgery to change her appearance and hide from the producers of a certain group “Cappuccino”, with whom she had a two-year contract. The consequences of these “adventures” are clearly visible on Svetlana’s face: enlarged lips, rhinoplasty – braces in such early age turned her into a victim of plastic surgery.

VIA Gra soloist Albina Dzhanabaeva

The soloist of the next lineup of the group is known not so much for her creative achievements as part of the ensemble, as well as due to the connection with the singer and producer Valery Meladze. They are united by their common son Kostya and romantic relationship, which in the past became a “pass ticket” to the group.

Albina worked for a long time as backing vocals for Valery Meladze, after which she was invited to the VIA Gra group in place of Svetlana Loboda. Dzhanabaeva’s debut in the group was the video for the song “The World I Didn’t Know About Before You.”

Albina Dzhanabaeva is still the soloist of the country’s “hottest” band. In 2009, the girl decided to study as a psychologist, so in addition to concerts, tours and celebrity parties, the artist attends lectures at the institute. And in 2010, Albina Dzhanabaeva also became interested in the fashion business, becoming the face of one of the clothing brands.

VIA Gra soloist Christina Kots-Gottlieb

The winner of numerous beauty contests, holder of the title “Miss Ukraine 2009” and professional fashion model Christina Kots-Gottlieb was in the VIA Gra group for only three months. The girl justified her record-breaking short tenure in the ensemble as being too “complex in character,” which did not allow her to bend to the demands of the producers.

Christina has a very bright appearance and beautiful, long hair. But the girl never studied vocals and was unable to bring anything to VIA Gro except her beautiful face. Christina Kots-Gottlieb appeared in the “Lie, but Stay” video, took part in several photo shoots as part of the group, and then disappeared from show business without a trace.

Christina Kots-Gottlieb managed to make a career in the modeling business much easier than to conquer the fans of the VIA Gra group.

Soloist of VIA Gra Olga Koryagina

It's not surprising, but latest lineup group "VIA-Gra" lasted the longest in the history of the female band. The lineup of Misha Romanova, Anastasia Kozhevnikova and Erica Hertz lasted together for more than five years. But recently information appeared on the Internet that the lead singer of the group decided to leave it.

Misha Romanova (real name Natalya Mogilyanets) is finally leaving the female pop group VIA-Gra, but the producers have already managed to find a replacement for her.

Misha Romanova made an official statement that she is indeed no longer the lead singer of the group “VIA-Gra”, and a replacement has already been found for her, however, the lineup has not been updated on the group’s website, and fans are confused and eager to find out who is new member.

Back in 2014, the media reported that there was a conflict among the girls in the team, despite the fact that Misha Romanova was quarreling with Nastya and Erica, that is, both participants were negatively disposed towards the girl.

But despite all this, the group’s producer denied all this news, telling the media that the girls are friends not only at work, but also in life, and there can be no conflicts between them.

Apparently, these were really just rumors, because during the 5 years of collaboration, the general public was not aware of a single scandal among the members of the pop group.

Fans of the female pop group were stunned by the news of Romanova's departure. There are many versions about Misha’s departure, but the girl herself said on her Instagram that she has changed her priorities in life, and now love comes first for her, which is why she is leaving the team.

“The most important calling of a woman is love. And sometimes she needs a firm decision. For some time, the artist in me gave in to the woman... Therefore, I am leaving the group, but leaving a piece of my soul in it,” the girl wrote.

"These were years filled with wonderful music genius man, beloved producer Konstantin Meladze. Thank you, Kostya, for this chance, for your faith and support, for the wonderful songs that warm the hearts of many listeners! Erica and Nastya, we were a team, one whole, I will miss you very, very much! This page from life will forever remain in my memory,” she concluded.

But fans are sure that Romanovskaya simply decided to pursue her solo career, since it was for this reason that all the ex-members of VIA-Gra left.

New soloist of Viagra instead of Misha: who's new

Information has appeared in the media that a replacement has already been found for Romanova and VIA-Gra will not turn into a dupe. Olga Meganskaya from St. Petersburg became the new soloist of Via-Gra.

VIA-Gra fans learned about this the day before yesterday at the group’s concert at Casino Iveria at the Republic center in Tbilisi (Georgia). Instead of Misha, a new girl appeared on the stage.

It is known that in the near future “VIA-Gra” will perform with a new line-up: on March 30 in Moscow, and on March 31 in Kyiv at the Alaska restaurant.

Over its history, VIA Gra has changed 17 lineups. Since September 2000, when the once main women's group Russian show business, 16 girls were its participants. There were periods when teams broke up two months after their formation. Today's lineup - Anastasia Kozhevnikova, Misha Romanova and Erica Herceg - has not changed for two years now and is considered the longest-lived in the history of VIA Gra. Let's remember best years group and its hottest members.

Having celebrated her 33rd birthday on December 16, she did not pass the age limit when she took part in the very first casting at Via Gro. She was 17 years old. Then Alena Vinnitskaya and Nadezhda Granovskaya were taken into the group. And only when in 2002 it was decided to turn the duo into a trio, Anna passed the casting and became the first red-haired member of the group. She spent 2 years and 1 month in the group, and all this time her voice was “ business card» team. That very time is considered the “golden composition” of the group. This means that he was the most popular and creatively fruitful. It is generally accepted that it included Vera Brezhneva, Nadezhda Granovskaya and Anna Sedokova.

The redhead, like Anna Sedokova, did not get into VIA Gro the first time. For some time she was a backing vocalist for Valery Meladze, and was familiar with his brother, the group’s producer Konstantin. After Anna left, they approached her with an offer to fill the vacant position. But Albina refused: at that time she had just given birth and was busy with related chores. Then they took Svetlana Loboda. But you can’t escape fate, and after 4 months she was again asked to sing in a group, which is what Albina did. In terms of “life expectancy” in the group, Albina is the undisputed leader - her experience at VIA Gre totals 8 years and 1 month. Also, some believe that the team had a second “golden line-up”, which included Dzhanabaeva, Brezhneva and Granovskaya. It existed for a year and a half, from September 2004 to January 2006.

After graduating from the choreographic school in the late 1990s, young Nadezhda Meikher got a job as a choreographer at a theater in Khmelnitsky, Ukraine. Fate gave her a lucky chance: Valery Meladze, who came on tour, performed in this theater. She asked for his autograph, and Valery advised her to send her photographs to her brother in Kyiv. He was then putting together a future group and was just looking for such spectacular girls. Nadezhda followed the advice, after which she received an invitation to audition. She was accepted on two conditions: to take her mother's last name - Granovskaya - and lose a few kilograms. In total, Nadezhda came and left the group 3 times and devoted 7 years and 10 months to VIA Gre. Now Meikher-Granovskaya is busy, first of all, with her family - she recently gave birth to her third child.

A native of Grozny, Meseda Bagaudinova has Dagestan and Ukrainian roots. The hot brunette joined the group in April 2007 and stayed there for a little over a year and a half. At the beginning of 2009, she had to give up her place so that Nadezhda Granovskaya could return to the team, the public’s interest in which had clearly fallen due to endless changes in the composition. Her further career in show business she went broke: she got married, gave birth to a child, gained a fair amount of kilograms, got carried away plastic surgery, and most importantly, she cut off her luxurious long hair and dyed the rest, first chestnut, and then completely light brown.

Perhaps the most underrated member of VIA Gra, Alena Vinitskaya (real name Olga), spent the first two and a half years of its existence in the group. Many fans of the band's early songs note that it was Vinnitskaya's original voice timbre and manner of performance that made VIA Gre's first glory, after which the band's strategy changed to aggressive sexuality. After leaving the group at the beginning of 2003, Alena began a solo career, while also performing as a composer. Her songs are very popular in Ukraine.

In January 2006, Nadezhda Granovskaya left the group for the second time, and it seems that it was at this moment that a tendency began to constantly change members, whose faces and names became difficult to remember. Christina Kots-Gottlieb from Donetsk joins the group. She had the shortest career in the entire history of the team - 3 months. During this time, she managed to star in the video for the song “Deceive, but stay,” in which she has a reddish hair color, almost like Albina Dzhanabaeva. At that time, there were rumors about the complete collapse of the group, which were periodically denied. Perhaps the producers really did not understand what to do with their group, whose recognition was falling every day. After leaving the group, Christina complained to the press that she found out about her dismissal when she turned on the TV and saw another girl (Olga Karjakina) in her place. In 2009, she passed the Ukrainian stage of the qualifying round of the Miss Universe contest and represented the country at this beauty contest.

In 2003, the next “era” was formed, a composition called the “Golden composition”. Indeed, such a definition in relation to Nadezhda, Anna and Vera is quite reasonable. This year is becoming very fruitful in terms of the team’s creativity. The group began active rehearsals with Vera, and Anna Sedokova also starred in leading role in Valery Meladze’s video for the song “I can’t live without you.” A video clip is being filmed for the single “Don’t leave me, darling!”, which is considered one of best singles throughout the history of the group. On April 14, the group’s second album, “Stop! Removed! Second studio album The group can rather be called a maxi-single, since there are more remixes than the songs themselves, and the songs themselves, for the most part, were already known by the time the album was released. This is the only Russian-language album of the group for which already released songs were covered by a new lineup. In the first 6 months, over 500,000 copies of the album were sold. In the summer, the video “Kill My Girlfriend” appears. The group reaches the pinnacle of fame. She is already ready to conquer the countries of Europe and Asia with her creativity. The English-language video “Stop! Stop! Stop!”, as well as the English-language album of the group with the same name under the pseudonym “Nu Virgos” (translated as “Naked Virgins”). The first release took place in Japan. "VIA Gra" sweeps across the country like a hurricane, performing in Tokyo, taking part in various programs on MTV Asia and Fuji TV. Filming for the Japanese magazine “Playboy” is underway. In the fall of the same year, the album “Biology” was released. A duet is being formed - “VIA Gra” and Valery Meladze. Collaborative work at the end of 2003 - beginning of 2004, which bore fruit in the form of the songs “Ocean and Three Rivers” and “There is No More Gravity,” as well as video clips shot on them. Everything developed rapidly, VIA Gra presented more and more new singles and video clips. 2004-2005 In 2004, due to pregnancy, Anna Sedokova leaves the group. They urgently look for a replacement for her, who is found in the person of Svetlana Loboda, but the replacement turned out to be not equivalent. June 4, 2004 VIA Gra wins the Muz-TV 2004 award. A video clip for the single “Biology” is being filmed, which caused a rather mixed reaction among viewers. Still, Svetlana is not “accepted” by fans, who immediately draw analogies between her and Anna Sedokova, and also criticize her behavior. The group continues to perform in various television programs, in particular in the “Total Show”, as well as in the third musical with their participation, called “Sorochinskaya Fair”. Later, a song from this musical is released as a full-fledged single on one of the group's albums. At the same time former soloist group Anna Sedokova gives several interviews in which she speaks very impartially about new soloist- Svetlana. The same year saw the pan-European release of the album Stop! Stop! Stop!. Despite this, slight dissatisfaction with Svetlana grew and the decision was made to break up with her. Currently, Svetlana is engaged in a solo career. In Loboda's place they take Albina Dzhanabaeva, who worked for a long time as backing vocals for Valery Meladze and, as it later turns out, has a child in common with him, who ended up in the group on his recommendation. The group receives an award at the RMA-04 ceremony for the song “There is No More Attraction,” performed with Valery Meladze. The video “The World I Didn’t Know About Before You” is released. The year 2005 started with trouble. Vera Brezhneva suffered a spinal injury while skiing. However, Vera had no complications. Another duet work is being presented to the public - with the popular rap team “TNMK” in Ukraine. The clip is called “There is nothing worse.” As before, programs with the participation of VIA Gra are being released. For example, shown on Channel One “Raffle” with Vera, “Saturday evening”, “ Full contact“, at which the group “Brilliant”, “Big Premiere” and many, many others were defeated with a huge margin in the musical battle. “VIA Gra” continues to excite the media: filming in the magazines “Maxim”, “7 Days”, publications in “Molotok” and “Komsomolskaya Pravda”.
