On Friday, December 11, another release of the vocal show "The Voice" was aired, closing the knockout stage.
It also became the last broadcast of the season, which was broadcast in recording: from December 18, the project will be broadcast live, and the outcome of the competition will be determined not only by the mentors, but also by the audience.
After the previous release, the teams of each mentor had three participants who were to meet in the musical ring.
The show began with performances by Yana Gabbasova, Gora Ispiryan and Safayel Mishiev - Polina Gagarina's wards.
Mishiev performed with Amy Winehouse's hit Rehab, Gabbasova presented the original vision of the composition of the "Splin" collective called "Romance", and Gor Ispiryan got Lady Gaga's Bad Romance.
Valery Syutkin especially noted the number of Yana Gabbasova: “It was a story.
He was very sensual, very professional and delicate, ”said the musician.
It was Gabbasova that Polna Gagarina chose.
And the host of the show, Dmitry Nagiyev, admitted that he was sorry to part with two other vocalists who were not lucky.
Sergey Zamkov from Basta's team this time accompanied himself on the accordion - he performed the song "Here's a bullet whistled", known by the group "Chizh and Co".
Fantine Pritula sang the hit “Half” by the group “Dances minus” in blues processing, and Vasily Pasechnik performed the song Livin 'on a Prayer by the Bon Jovi collective and completed the number with an acrobatic sketch.
“I could not fit into this repertoire in any way, - commented Sergey Shnurov on Zamkov's performance, - They made the devil out of great art”.
The musician added that the member would be better off in his team.
In addition, Shnurov admitted that Vasily Pasechnik's speech made him laugh.
In turn, Basta stressed that all the participants chose the compositions on their own.
He missed Vasily Pasechnik in the semifinals.
However, Fantine Pritula will continue to participate in the show, since she was invited to his team by Valery Syutkin.
The release was continued by a troika from Syutkin's team.
Alexander Yelovskikh got the song “My Enchanted” from the repertoire of the Belarusian ensemble “Pesnyary”.
Elene Ninidze sang Nora Jones' song Sunrise, and Oleg Akkuratov sang Eduard Khil's retro hit "The Song Goes Around".
Commenting on what he saw, Sergey Shnurov expressed the opinion that the repertoire of Syutkin's wards has a certain cyclical nature and is not distinguished by innovations.
Basta said that he would like to hear more features of the Belarusian pronunciation performed by Alexander Yelovskikh, and Polina Gagarina especially noted the unique timbre of Elene Ninidze.
To continue participating in the project, Syutkin chose Oleg Akkuratov.
The mentor praised the charge for the fact that he "knows that he is a genius, but continues to work."
The retired Alexander Elovskikh admitted that he could not implement all the plans for the project and assumed that he was mistaken with the choice of a mentor.
“The most important thing is to give up everything, go out and sing like it was the last time,” Sergei Shnurov noted before the performance of the male part of his team.
Bogdan Kiyashko was the first to go on stage with the song "Young Winds", from whom Shnurov, according to him, especially expected the manifestation of his acting skills.
Jean Milimerov performed the composition of Alexander Serov "Madonna".
The last participant in the knockout stage was Yuri Gordienko with the famous melody "Lanfren-lanfra" ("Dove") from the movie "Midshipmen, forward!"
in a new arrangement.
“It was as if they got into my head, like a professional doctor, and got my favorite songs,” Bast commented on the numbers.
Polina Gagarina admitted that she would not mind going to the solo concert of Bogdan Kiyashko.
And Valery Syutkin recalled Shnurov's claims about the "outdated" repertoire of his team members.
Shnurov made a decision in favor of Jean Milimerov.
Basta took Yuri Gordienko into his team, which made not only the participant, but also his previous mentor happy.
Before the semifinal stage, each team had three participants: two passed the selection as a result of knockouts, and the mentors saved one more from elimination.
The team of Polina Gagarina includes Kirill Suslov, Yana Gabbasova and Nadezhda Samkova.
Shnurov approached the next stage of the project with Maria Rusakova, Jean Milimerov and Dmitry Vengerov.
Valery Syutkin's wards are Suren Platonov, Oleg Akkuratov and Fantine Pritula.
Basta staked on Elizaveta Puris, Vasily Pasechnik and Yuri Gordienko.
