I'll present the shows of 'Pesnya goda' and 'Novye pesni o glavnom'. Then you may make your list and I'll upload your requests in one archive file, if that's convenient for you.

Ok, the next big music show!


***************
Pesnya Goda 2008
***************

A five hour song marathon with (almost) all the stars of the Russian music scene. 60 songs with about fifty different acts chosen by the almighty Alla Pugacheva, the host of this festival. The show is for all ages and represents the artistical work of the whole scene of popular music in Russia. Some names are still missing, either they didn't produce something countable the last year (tatu, Savicheva...) or they are 'persona non grata' like Elena Terleeva, Dima Koldun or Irakli.

I've skipped the performances we know from the 'Golden Gramophone' and those aimed more at people of age 40+, the list contains the successful pop stars of the scene and some new acts.

Stas P'eha - Na ladoni liniya: 2008 was quite a successful year for Stas. An album and two radio hits, and invited in the greatest music shows. Finally the 'Star Factory' participant has made his way, and he is an excellent singer, by the way.
Ani Lorak - Shady Lady: You may know the song from last Eurovision, but I think this time her performance is much better.
Potap i Nastya Kamenskih - Krepkie oreshki (Hard Nuts): A surprise. Everybody expected another song from them, but Alla the Great wanted this one. Potap and Nastya go to the movies - 'Die Hard'. While Potap slobbers over the hard-balled (krepkie oreshki) main actor and tells the story of part 1 - 3 (well, not literally), Nastya falls in love with Bruce Willis.
Zaklyopki - Kino: Alla Pugacheva brought this a bit different 'Girl'-group from Novaya Volna to this festival. Entertaining performance.
Alessandro Ristori - Rock Around The Clock: Another Novaya Volna competitor from Italy. Watch this rock'n'roll performance - extraordinary!
VIA Gra - My Emancipation: Watching such 'girls' it's impossible to be not fascinated! Great song, great performance!
Vintazh i Elena Korikova - Plohaya devochka: This song brought the talented group right to the top of the Russian music scene. A nasty, scandalous video clip may have helped a bit to reach the goal. Excellent performance!
IRIS - Lyogkoj dzhazovoj pohodkoj: The next act from Novaya Volna. One of the best performances from a young lady, who fights courageously against the adversities of stage life.
A'Studio & Otpetye moshenniki - Serdtsem k serdtsu: A'Studio, the pop-rock group with a classical touch meets the rap-hooligans 'Die-hard Rascals'.
Vera Brezhneva - Ya ne igrayu: The ex-VIA Gra girl Vera Brezhneva with her first single. OMG-OMG, is she h-o-t-t!!!
Sergej Lazarev - Girlfriend: The girls love him, that's for sure. He has borrowed quite a lot from American stars, not only this song. Cool performance.
MakSim - Moj raj: Well, playback and just standing there - better listen to the album! But that's her style, not only when she is pregnant.
Majya - Za mig do zimy: Another new face on the big stage. Nice performance from this talented singer.
BiS - Katya: If you need a song for a children's birthday party, this is right for you. I guess, the younger you are, the more you'll like it!
Gorod 312 - Nevidimka: This young and very likeable group had their first big radio hit with this song. Nice performance.
Glyuk'oza - Babochki: After a baby-break Natasha Ionova came back with this song, not with the same success as in the old times, but good enough to be among the artists chosen for this festival. One of the more sentimental songs of her repertoire.
Irina Dubtsova & Polina Gagarina - Komu? Zachem?: Two singers, fighting to get into the 'premier league' of Russian music business, with a very emotional song. Excellent performance!
Polina Gagarina - Lyubov' pod solntsem: Actually a song released in summer 2007, but with a long lifetime for almost a year. The first countable success for the participant of an earlier 'Star Factory'.
Zhenya Otradnaya - Uhodi: I couldn't give you a link to the 'Golden Gramophone' performance, so here's the one of 'Pesnya Goda'. She released her first album this year and I'd say, this isn't even her best song, but it was very successful on radio.
Angel-A - Prostaya devchonka: Ex-girl from the group 'Non-Stop', She released already an album, but so far she has not managed her break-through. Maybe this chance to be seen by a major audience is of some use for her career.
Diskoteka "Avariya" - Otsy!: The rock-rap group with a bunch of children on stage. Obviously everybody had fun there.
Alla Pugacheva & Maksim Galkin - Gromootvody: Ok, this had to be - the performance of the host, and by the way the dream pair of Russian show business.
Serebro - Opium: Although currently the most successful group, we can see their biggest deficiency. On this huge stage they look quite lost. Not used to interact with the audience they finally escape to their band.
Dima Bilan - Believe: Even an awful song can't stop Dima from making a great performance. Without a doubt one of the best on stage.
