On Friday, October 4, on Channel One, the final release of the second season of the popular vocal project Voice. 60+. " Moreover, before the start of the final of the contest, the host Dmitry Nagiyev spoke about the previously announced new voting rules for the participant he liked. We are talking about abolishing the call system and limiting the number of SMS messages that can be sent in support of a particular vocalist.
“If before it was possible to send up to 20 messages from one number, now you can vote for the participant you like only once at each stage,” said Nagiyev.
An additional innovation was the verification identification by SMS-voting. Now viewers will receive a response message asking them to confirm their action. Only after this procedure will the vote be counted. Changes were made after the scandalous finale of the 6th season of the show “Voice. Children ”, during which the“ external impact ”on the voting results was recorded.
The first stage of the finale “Voice. 60+ »
As part of the competition program of the final stage of the show “Voice. 60+ ”the first to enter the scene were Mikhail Boyarsky’s wards: Vladimir Laptev and Elena Gurileva. The first honor of the team defended Laptev.
“Vladimir Georgievich is a very serious and deep person. He sings in a very acting way, this is closer to me, ”commented on the vocal abilities of Laptev Boyarsky.
The musician performed the song "Friendship" by Andrei Shmulian, arranged by Vladimir Sidorov. After him, Gurileva appeared on the stage with the retro composition “Bear”.
“You have brought a wonderful, wonderful spoon of honey on our common holiday. You have great voices, a wonderful repertoire, and thanks to you, I realized that a good song doesn’t need a dance, ”said the mentor after the performance of both team members.
Members of the jury did not participate in determining the vocalist who deserved the title of "best voice of the country." Only the viewers evaluated the performances of the contestants. And following the results of voting, Elena Gurileva passed to the superfinal of the show - 86% of the audience cast their votes for it.
The participant who left the project was traditionally given the floor, and Laptev quoted Alexander Vertinsky's song “Farewell Dinner”. In turn, Nagiyev noted that the performer raised the vocal project "to an unprecedented level."
Next on the stage was the finalist from the Pelageya team Leonid Sergienko, a pensioner from Makeevka, who had worked as a miner in Donbass for 25 years.
“An amazing voice, an amazing human destiny - to work all my life under the most difficult conditions and at the same time keep creativity in ourselves,” Pelageya emphasized.
For performances in the finals, Sergienko chose the song “Dark Mounds Sleep” from the film “Big Life” (known by Mark Bernes).
Following him was Mikhail Ryzhov. “It’s not in vain that he arrived - this is the most important thing. I was not knocked out, ”said the vocalist.
“Mikhail Mikhailovich is a very interesting artist, actor of the singing genre. For me it was an almost obvious choice (we are talking about the knockout stage. - RT ), ”Pelageya added.
Ryzhov sang the song “Horses - Beasts” by Matvey Blanter, which was performed by Muslim Magomayev.
After that, Sergienko returned to the scene, and the mentor of the Pelageya participants called on the country to “choose which is closer”: Mikhail Ryzhov with his “incredible artistry and professionalism” or Leonid Sergienko “with the sincerity of the nugget, with an amazing voice.”
According to the results of the vote, with a margin of 15%, Leonid Sergienko reached the super final, receiving almost 60% of the vote.
Finally, Dmitry Nagiyev thanked Mikhail Ryzhov: “Thank you very much for how you hold on, how you inspire faith, that you can live life to the fullest.”
After that, Nagiyev opened a line for voting for the wards of Lev Leshchenko. The team of the Russian pop artist had three finalists - a duet of the Bogdanov sisters and musician Yuri Shivrin. The first to perform were Olga and Galina Bogdanov.
“They are very talented, vibrant and distinctive. They will clearly have an advantage over other performers, ”the mentor expressed confidence.
In the finals of the competition, the sisters performed the folk song “Seeing Off,” and Yuri Shivrin appeared on the stage after them.
“We took an interesting aria for the finale,” Leshchenko shared. “I want beautiful singing.” Shivrin sang David Tukhmanov’s composition “I Love You, Russia!”, After which Nagiyev gave the floor to the mentor of the participants.
“I knew that it would be good, but what was so good - I did not even imagine. I worry about the viewers: what choice will they make? ”Said Leshchenko. In the superfinal of the show, viewers wanted to see Shivrin, giving him 82% of the vote.
Finally, the turn came to the team of Valeria. The musicians who reached the finals in the last issue of the show were Vladimir Gritsyk and the oldest participant in the competition - Lyudmila Pakhomova. The first from the team was Gritsyk.
“A tremendous amount of homework has been done. The performance was brilliant. I would like to reveal Vladimir Gritsyk even more, ”the mentor noted. At the end of the show, the vocalist performed the song “Musician” from the discography of Konstantin Nikolsky.
The first stage of the finale “Voices. 60+ ”was closed by Lyudmila Pakhomova.
“She doesn’t just sing, she lives. It is impossible to resist her human and artistic charm, ”Valeria believes. For the final stage of the competition, Pakhomova chose the romance of Boris Fomin and Konstantin Podrevsky, "Dear Long." All the jury members applauded her standing performance.
“I want to encourage viewers to vote with their hearts. We have an amazing lighter, optimist, incredible beauty Lyudmila Pakhomova. Woman motivator. There is a phenomenal musician, thin and deep, whose timbre of voice makes goose bumps, ”Valeria said in the end.
The votes of the audience were distributed as follows: 47.2% for Lyudmila Pakhomova versus 52.8% in favor of Vladimir Gritsyk.
“You have decorated this project and our life,” said Nagiyev, addressing Pakhomova after the results of the vote. The actress herself finally read a poem dedicated to the upcoming Victory Day.
The audience escorted each of the participants who did not reach the super final with loud applause.

The jury members thanked the participants of the show and expressed hope for participating in the next seasons of the show, but the project's old-timer Pelageya announced that she was going on an “unlimited vacation”.
The smallest number of viewers got Vladimir Gritsyk and Elena Gurileva. The host gave the floor to the participants, after which he announced the final voting results: by a large margin - in 40% of the votes - Leonid Sergienko won. For him, 70.1% of the audience of the show “Voice. 60+. "
After the announcement of the results, the ward of Pelagia again sang the song “My Joy is Living,” and then all the participants and members of the jury went on stage.
“Our project is yet another proof that when a soul sings, age does not matter,” Nagiyev concluded.
