At the vocal competition "Voice" the stage of blind auditions continues.

On Friday, October 30, Channel One aired the fourth episode of the ninth season of this show.

Mentors - Polina Gagarina, Vasily Vakulenko (Basta), Sergey Shnurov and Valery Syutkin - continue to recruit participants to their teams.

Elena Freiman from Moscow was the first to present her performance to the audience.

She previously took part in the Bulgarian version of the show and reached the semifinals.

After such an experience, the girl, according to her, felt extremely confident.

“Now, when I go to Golos, I am absolutely not worried.

And I clearly know what I want, why I came.

I am confident in my strengths and in my capabilities, ”said the artist.

On stage, Elena Freiman sang Etta James's incendiary song Something's Got a Hold On Me, but she could not conquer any of the mentors.

Vasily Vakulenko explained that he “didn’t have enough light,” and Sergei Shnurov said that he didn’t want to take the first contestant and was waiting for Valery Syutkin to press the red button.

Serviceman Vasily Pasechnik from the Saratov region decided to demonstrate his vocal abilities with a song by The Beatles Yesterday.

Basta was the first to turn the chair, and later the rest of the mentors joined him.

Valery Syutkin noted that many are trying to perform this song, but for all it sounds “sweet”.

The contestant, according to the artist, managed to perform "with the dignity of a Russian officer."

Beekeeper will continue to fight for victory in the Vakulenko team.

Oksana Ustina came to the Voice show from Kazakhstan.

She said that she decided to become an artist as a child, despite the fact that her parents were against it.

Svetlana put her pocket money aside and secretly attended vocal lessons.

For her performance, the contestant chose Polina Gagarina's song "There is no more drama."

All the mentors, except for Vasil Vakulenko, expressed their readiness to accept the girl into their team.

“Listen, well, you made a masterpiece out of my song.

It's just a real epic, ”said Polina Gagarina.

And Sergei Shnurov noted that he liked the new performance of the hit even more than the original one.

“Honestly, I don't really like Polina Gagarina's songs.

But in your reading it played with some completely different colors, ”said the artist.

He became Oksana's mentor.

Andrey Kutuzov from Nizhny Novgorod performed fragments of two songs - the Russian folk song "Rain on the Street" and the composition "Younger Sister", known to the audience as performed by the group "Lube".

Also, the artist tried to surprise the jury with playing the harp.

The mentors praised his number, but none of them pressed the red button.

“I didn't turn around because I didn't understand until the end of your range, the scale of your voice.

You are a ready artist, and I personally don't know what I can offer you, ”explained Polina Gagarina.

Vasily Vakulenko also expressed the opinion that Kutuzov is already an accomplished musician, and he has nothing to do on the show.

The performance of the blind musician Oleg Akkuratov from Yeisk with Wynton Marsalis and Bobby McFerrin's song Baby, I Love You, with his own accompaniment, turned out to be more successful within the framework of the competition.

All four mentors turned to him.

The jury members called the performance exciting and incredible, and also noted the “fantastic lightness” in the voice and presentation.

The artist chose Valery Syutkin as his mentor.

Stanislav Rebitsky from the Sverdlovsk region grew up in a family of musicians.

The artist has been performing since childhood - he first appeared on stage at the age of five.

However, neither impressive experience nor specialized education helped him to interest mentors.

Sergei Shnurov called his performance of Valery Meladze's hit "I Can't Live Without You" flawless, but explained that this was "not his material."

In turn, Polina Gagarina noted that the artist could not convey the story reflected in the song.

Nadezhda Samkova, a resident of Krasnoyarsk, won over all the jury members by performing a lyric song Nella Fantasia to the music of Ennio Morricone.

She said that she is ready to perform in other genres: she especially loves to sing romances and Soviet music.

Despite the persuasions of other artists, Nadezhda decided to join Sergei Shnurov's team, since it was he who pressed the red button first.

“I'll tell you why I turned around first.

Because we have been sitting here for a long time, we have heard a lot of people, and somehow, really, the ear has already become blurry.

I thought, beautiful voice, beautiful performance, why no one turns.

I decided to be the first, ”said Shnurov.

Another contestant was the actor Emil Salez.

According to him, he has long been fond of music and dances well, and uses his talents on the theater stage, performing in musicals.

“I like to dance, I like to sing, I like acrobatics.

And all this just fills me with pleasure, ”said the artist.

On stage, he presented Joe Dassin's song Les Champs-Élysées and, probably, made the wrong choice: Sergei Shnurov was not satisfied with the pronunciation of Sales, and Vasily Vakulenko felt that the artist lacked mood and lightness.

The contestant also did not catch the rest of the mentors.

Muscovite Elizaveta Puris has been studying music since childhood and, despite her young age (16 years), already writes songs.

However, to participate in the show, the girl chose not her composition, but the hit Lady Gaga Is That Alright?

Even before the performance, Elizabeth said that she had come to a certain mentor - Vasily Vakulenko.

As a result, he turned and readily accepted the girl into his team.

The panel of judges highly appreciated Ruslan Vorotnikov's performance of the Nepara song “Don't Cry” to his piano accompaniment.

At the same time, during the performance, none of the mentors was in a hurry to press the red button.

By the end of the speech, Valery Syutkin nevertheless turned his chair around.

“The most important thing is the story.

This is the most important thing.

I heard it and I am glad to welcome you to the team, ”the musician commented on his decision.

Ksenia Kolambatskaya, after performing the song by Ann-Marie Alarm, chose between the teams of two mentors: Syutkina and Gagarina.

As a result, the artist will continue to participate in the project under the guidance of the latter.

The fourth edition of the show was closed by the performance of Daniil Dudin from Novokuznetsk with the song Muse Starlight.

He said that he was never faced with the question of which profession to choose: Daniel grew up in a family of musicians, which determined his fate.

Before going on stage, the artist said that he was confident in his success.

His expectations were justified: Polina Gagarina and Sergey Shnurov turned their chairs around.

Dudin decided to join Gagarina's team.

At the end of the release, the host of the show Dmitry Nagiyev traditionally summed up the results of the audience voting for the title of the best mentor.

Like last time, Basta got the majority of votes - 34%.

At the moment, most of the participants in Valery Syutkin's team are nine.

Eight musicians each joined the bands of Sergei Shnurov and Vasily Vakulenko.

Polina Gagarina has so far become a mentor for seven contestants.
