Before the performance, Shakhnovich noted that participation in the music competition was a new challenge for her. For the blind auditions, she chose the original version of the hit song “Pump Up The Jam”. Anton Belyaev was the first to turn to her, followed by Khibla Gerzmava and Basta. Polina Gagarina did not choose a contestant.
During the introduction to the mentors, the actress did not mention her movie career, but said that she plays the guitar and has experience in the genre of author's song. Gerzmava expressed her desire to see the contestant in her team and offered her a master class with Vladimir Spivakov. Gagarina reacted with irony, noting that such connections had not been used before.
As a result, Shakhnovich joined Belyaev's team, choosing him for his promptness. In the same issue, the struggle for another participant - Matvey Kozin, who performed the composition “Way Down We Go” - unfolded. Gerzmava got up from her chair and emotionally declared that she would not give the performer to anyone. Her persistence influenced the choice of the contestant, and he joined her team.
Earlier, the actor Alexei Vorobiev admitted how the stroke affected his life. Also Kirkorov told how his daughter violates the charter of the Dubai school.
