In September 2015, the first release of the musical show "Voice" (Season 4), which became popular throughout the country, was released. Reviews about the new mentors, whose names were kept secret until a certain point, turned out to be very diverse. This is not surprising: over the past three years, the audience has become accustomed to the permanent four members of the jury. This time, the three turned out to be completely new people, whose style and teaching abilities are not yet clear.

Why did the mentors change?

They name several reasons why the mentors of the 4th season of the show "Voice" have changed. Only one thing is known for sure - it was the decision of the producer of Channel One, Konstantin Ernst. But what prompted him to take such drastic measures?

The first and most obvious reason is the desire to expand the audience of the program and thereby increase the rating of the show. Undoubtedly, the channel's management had high hopes for the new composition of mentors. "Voice" (season 4) is an extraordinary show and full of surprises, so the change of the judging team came as a surprise to the audience. According toAnother assumption is that the change of mentors is connected with the results of the first three seasons. Until now, all the winners of the show "Voice" belonged to the team of Alexander Gradsky. It turns out that the rest simply did not reach his level.

Some even argue that the radical changes in the show are caused by Konstantin Ernst's dissatisfaction with his former mentors. None of the viewers knows what is happening behind the scenes of the project, since we see only its front side. Therefore, possible civil strife as a reason for changing the referee team should not be written off either.

In any case, Konstantin Ernst decided to take a risk, and only he can judge whether this risk was justified. So who now began to train new participants in the show and fight for victory? How have reviews of new mentors changed since the finale of The Voice (Season 4)?

Spectators Predictions

When the news about the changes in the show was heard from the TV screens, the audience began to express their assumptions about who the new mentors of the show "Voice" (season 4) would be. Many sites even voted on this issue.

Among the many possible contenders, the majority of viewers bet on several candidates. Among them were the now extremely popular Stas Mikhailov and Grigory Leps, experienced Larisa Dolina, Valery Meladze, Sofia Rotaru, Zemfira and Dmitry Malikov. In addition to them, the obvious candidates for mentors were the prima donna of our stage Alla Pugacheva (who had already tried herself earlier in this capacity) and music producer Max Fadeev (one of the mentors of the show "Voice. Children"). From young starson the music scene, TV viewers most of all trusted Irina Dubtsova, Dmitry Bikbaev, Maxim, Mark Tishman and Polina Gagarina, who took second place at Eurovision 2015.

As the first episode showed, the audience only half guessed who the mentors of the 4th season of the show "Voice" would be.

Alexander Gradsky

In all three previous seasons, it was his wards who became the winners, and the teams led by him were recognized by the audience over and over again as the strongest.

A well-known singer and composer, who bears the title of People's Artist and Honored Artist of Russia, an authority whose opinion no one dares to challenge. Even Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev recognized him as a bright, unique and talented singer.

Although the age of Alexander Borisovich is already solid, he has enough vitality and creative energy to "plug in the belt" of many young singers. Friends say that he can do everything, you just have to want. He easily conquers any musical genre, be it romance, opera aria, groovy rock and roll or jazz improvisation.

The main principle that Alexander Borisovich remains true to is to remain himself in any situation. Even when his methods seem controversial to spectators and participants and he has to sacrifice very strong members of his team to achieve the goal, he does not compromise.

How did the new mentors react to the luminary from the stage? "Voice" (season 4) - a show that is notwas overshadowed by behind-the-scenes intrigues: colleagues immediately recognized Alexander as a leader, bowing to his mentoring and variety experience.

Grigory Leps

The performance style of this native of Sochi can be called "restaurant", which is not at all surprising. Grigory Leps began his career, like many singers in the resort region - with the performance of popular hits in cafes and restaurants. However, the time came, and this talented performer decided it was time to move on, namely to Moscow.

The capital did not immediately accept the newcomer, and his path to the starry Olympus turned out to be thorny. Thanks to hard work and patience, a great desire to succeed, and most importantly - outstanding performing abilities, now Grigory Leps has become one of the most famous and brightest stars in the Russian pop firmament.

Many viewers predicted Leps to be the mentors of the 4th season of the show "Voice", because he already had experience of participating in a similar project - the music show "Main Stage" on the TV channel "Russia".

The method of work of Grigory Leps turned out to be quite interesting and controversial. The singer almost never looked at the stage during performances and trusted only his intuition and the impression of the voices of the contestants. Sometimes it seemed that he was not even interested in what was happening, but still his remarks (sometimes expressed in an impolite and even rude tone) turned out to be very appropriate and helped young performers. In addition, the team recruited by Grigory Leps turned out to be one of the strongest, along with the Gradsky team.

Vasily Vakulenko(Basta)

The choice of this young rapper as the new mentors of The Voice (season 4) was an unexpected and controversial decision by the producers.

Basta is not at all ambitious and does not plan to take a high place on the musical Olympus. It was with his modesty and simplicity that he soon won over the hearts of even those viewers who had never been interested in Russian rap and had not even heard his name.

During the qualifying rounds, Vasily mainly paid attention to the personality of the performer, his charisma. Bastu was very interested in what it cost each of the participants to get on the Voice show. Even if the contestant's vocal abilities left much to be desired, but in itself he was interesting and could "hook" the viewer with the mood and style of his music, Vasily believed that such a person could well expect success.

From the very first release of the show, Vasily proved himself to be a man of few words and thoughtful. He expressed his comments and wishes briefly, but always to the point, which very quickly endeared the audience to him.

Polina Gagarina

This talented girl with a strong voice gained popularity at a young age when she became the winner of the second season of the Star Factory music competition. For some time, due to disagreements with the producer, the girl did not appear on stage, but later returned in triumph. In 2015, she was chosen as the Eurovision participant from our country and won an honorable second place.

Afternew mentors of the show "Voice" (season 4) were announced, Polina's photo spread all over the Internet. Despite her young age, Polina felt confident in the role of a mentor to novice singers. She herself admitted that she can see talent and giftedness in others, although she has never tried herself in the teaching field.

Gagarina treated the members of her team, according to them, like a mother, albeit very strict, demanding, even with dictatorial manners.

Surprises

Although the main intrigue of the show was the new mentors, The Voice (season 4) gave the audience other surprises.

So, at almost every stage of the blind auditions, the audience was given the opportunity to feel in the mentor's chair. It was not difficult to achieve such an effect, it was enough to cover the speaker with a screen and let him judge his abilities only by his voice.

When Lolita Milyavskaya acted as a "dark horse", all the mentors, and most of the audience, very quickly recognized her by her voice. The task became more complicated, it was worth hiding behind the screen a man who himself had recently been sitting in the red chair of a jury member. Dima Bilan deliberately changed the intonation so much that the new composition of the Voice mentors (season 4) was completely at a loss. Grigory Leps even advised Dima to stop playing music, which shocked the audience. Later, in an interview, Bilan admitted that it was all just a joke and a masterfully played performance.

The Voice Season 4: New Mentor Reviews

Now, when the final is over, it is already possible to judge howthe show "Voice" (season 4) was successful. Spectators respond differently to the new mentors, the composition of the jury turned out to be very controversial.

The authority of Alexander Borisovich Gradsky is not in doubt, although some viewers spoke in favor of changing the person whose wards have won for three years in a row. Others, on the contrary, admitted that it was only because of his presence that they continued to watch the show.

The sharp judgments and cheeky manners of Grigory Leps initially caused negative reviews on the Web. Many considered his behavior boorish, especially the habit of interrupting performers and project colleagues. However, it soon became clear that such contradictory methods were bearing fruit, and Leps knew his business very well.

Vasily Vakulenko's openness, sincerity and modesty made the audience feel warm towards him and speak positively about him from the very first release of the show.

The accidental or intentional similarity of Polina Gagarina with the previous mentor, Pelageya, played a cruel joke on the girl. Most viewers compare these two singers not in favor of Gagarina, considering her too insincere, even mannered.

After the finale of the show "The Voice" (Season 4), reviews of the new mentors are no longer as sharply divided into positive and negative as it was at the very beginning. The audience was gradually able to see the members of the jury from different angles.

The strongest participant this time wasHieromonk Photius was recognized, whom Grigory Leps ventured to take on his team.
