Angelina Vovk: "In a past life I was a man ..."
By the will of heaven

Angelina Vovk If carried out on Russian television competition "Lady Smile", it would be year after year won the same woman. Her smile immediately remember, no effort will not be necessary. Angelina Vovk is impossible to imagine a gloomy, angry, sullen Moved eyebrows - her screen image etched in my memory that refuses Lady involuntarily the right to be an ordinary woman with all our moods and feelings.

Lady Perfection

A voice! This voice can not be from a human being - it all perfectly, timbre, tone, warmth, some overtones from which, it seems, can vanish any depression Depression . Sirens are known to have fascinated their singing, and they would try to do the same a conversation! She often has to say is not a good text written by others. And you hear words like, automatically noting the author's flaws, but says some of it ... And not so bad, not so important - who remembers their words? I remember her voice, her smile, her charm.

The men all his life went from her mind, she attributed novels with unimaginable inconceivable number of victims of her beauty, her clothes were legendary. Next we went envy, anger and other "applications", relying person owning some special gift. But those who loved Angelina Vovk, was always more. It attracts like a magnet, people, talented, bright, intelligent, who have something to fill your heart, but envy. Not for nothing it a long time ago was filled with great tenderness "big postirushnik" Andrey Malakhov. It is no accident for all brand-new speakers and leading it became a kind of benchmark, role model.
"Because of my colleagues, I immediately fell in love with Angelina Vovk - admitted in an interview with Tatyana Vedeneyeva. - Her femininity, charm, natural to me seemed an unattainable ideal."

Not having (age!) To stand at the origins of Soviet television, as Valentine Leontiev, Anna Shilova, she came much later, DH, imperceptibly became the same element of his unshakeable, "pillar" if you want.

Evgeny Menshov, the second permanent leader of the festival "Song of the Year", recalls:

I said, "will be the second leading Angelina Vovk, it is a done deal." But then I began to tremble like a leaf. Because it's not just me, the whole country loved Angelina Vovk. It was very exciting: I'll be with her look like I can be next to her? With it, a favorite of millions of viewers, starting with the youngest children, to the adults? All adored Angelina Vovk. And love ...

Now, before the arrival of "Song of the Year-2002" in Israel, nearly thirteen years after the Angelina Vovk in 1970, first appeared in the program, it seems strange that at first she chose other leaders, despite the dissenting opinion of the authors.

"Parents" festival "Song of the Year" was Viktor Cherkasov Viktor the Kemerovo - says Angelina Vovk. - Brilliant musicians, they were from the powerful cohort that in those years, worked in television. The authors saw me as a leader. I began to rehearse, prepare for recording. But because at the time I worked for two years on television, the management decided to entrust a new program more experienced leader. For many years it were Valentine Leontiev, Anna Shilov Igor Kirillov. Sometimes someone deputized, including me. I have become a permanent leader only in 1988. The memory I have nothing left for the day when I first acted in that capacity. It was a work time, probably so. "

In Soviet times, nobody thought about money, so each transfer was prepared for a long time -
week. State pays for everything. Then for a long time we are working on each performance, looking for all sorts of moves to profitably apply the song and artist is not impersonal. Filmed program in concert studio Ostankino.

It is a pity that now had to abandon the premises, - says Angelina Vovk. - There were preserved tradition, the studio had its own character. But the fact that this place was originally designed as the conference room and the technical services it difficult to function. So now the "Song of the Year is removed in the concert hall of the hotel" Cosmos. "He is a very nice, cozy, but ... I sometimes come into the old studio, where I spent so many concerts, it's so ... sad.

In 1990, on the transfer under threat of closure. Viktor Cherkasov seriously ill, orphaned program ... It has been removed from the broadcasting schedule, and decided to take the vacant place "Hit Parade Ostankino".

I began to resist, went from office to office, defended - recalls Angelina M.. - Wherever he came, everyone was talking about how love "Song of the Year", but nothing more. Transfer back on the air only by the then head of Yegor Yakovlev. A "Hit Parade Ostankino", filmed in parallel, never caught on. Igor Krutoy did much to "Song of the Year" has survived. He always says, "Lina and Eugene - the face of the festival."

It is hard to argue. Without their participation, it will be a different program. For most viewers, the program associated with the names of Angelina Vovk and Evgeny Menshov. Therefore, they are not afraid of competition.

To be our competitors, you have to pass severe school of television and life, have a lot of experience and passed through his heart. We Evgeny Menshov, speaking the language of sport, in other weight categories.

She never shows on the stage of your relationship to the artist. It does not matter - like it or not their songs.

I have to present them with dignity - this is the opinion of Angelina Vovk. - For the artists it is very important to sing in the "Song of the Year: uchastvuesh - then worth something. It's kind of the Russian musical Olympus. Unfortunately, a lot of talented guys do not get to the festival.
