Participants and winner of the "Star Factory 1"

In the early 2000s, European countries, such as Spain and France, conducted an experiment and created a television project to find young talents. The teleshow has become very popular. In many countries of the world there were thousands of talented people wishing to participate in the show. Russian producers also did not stand aside. So came out "Star Factory 1" (2002). She gave a push for the further career of 16 participants of the program.

How is the project going?

Before the launch of the project, all comers are casted, at which the professional jury strictly chooses two dozen best among thousands of talents. Pass the very best. Participants must have good vocal data, worthy appearance, artistry, plasticity.

After the selection all the guys are settled in the "Star House", where they are hidden all day and night hidden cameras. Every day, participants are intensely engaged in vocals, choreography, acting, psychology, fitness. Experienced masters give the guys lessons in showbiz skills. Contestants prepare their own food and follow the order in the common house.

The first channel daily released news from the "Star Home", where the audience could watch their idols. During the week, each participant prepared his musical number, which he performed at the reporting concert. At such events, the children were lucky to sing with famous representatives of the stage, who were invited to the show.

As a result of the report, the pedagogical council of the project selected the three weakest participants for the elimination. One of these nominees could be saved by spectators after the concert, another was saved by the team, and the third one had to leave the project. The winner of the "Factory of Stars" was able to record a disc in the most famous recording studio.

Seven seasons of "Factory"

So, the "Star Factory" (1 season) started in 2002. She was remembered by the formation of such groups as "Roots" and "Factory." The winner of the "Star Factory 1" is the "Roots" group. This team has become very popular.

The second "Factory" was released in 2003. Many people remembered such names as Elena Temnikova and Elena Terleeva. The winner was also the very popular singer, participant of the "Eurovision" in 2015 - Polina Gagarina.

Pride of the "Factory"

The winner of the "Star Factory 1", like the leaders of other seasons, has received great fame. Many young "stars" have shone on the variety sky. The real hits were the songs of the graduate of the "Factory" Julia Savicheva. The decoration of the project was the women's group "Tutsi". By the decision of the pedagogical council, groups such as "Banda", "Kuba", "KGB" were created. The favorites of the fair sex were the guys from the group "Chelsea". Very beautiful turned out a group of two guys and two girls - "Yin-Yang." Also the collectives "Netsuke" and "Ultraviolet" were formed.

"Star Factory" (season 1)

So, the first "Star Factory" was selected 16 participants. The artistic director of the project was composer Igor Matvienko. For the show, a very eloquent presenter was chosen - Janu Churikov. Later it turned out that she is strong not only in the colloquial genre, but also as a vocalist. Who has taken on the "Star Factory 1"? Participants in the first season were very bright. Among the girls, Maria Alalykina, Alexandra Savelieva, Irina Toneva, Sati Casanova scored. Leaders among the guys were Pavel Artemiev, Alexei Kabanov, Jem Sherif, Mikhail Grebenshchikov, Alexander Astashenok, Alexander Berdnikov.

The "Roots" group now and then

It was a bright and memorable team. The "Roots" group is the winner of the "Stars Factory 1", and their fans remember it. To the final of the television show of the first season, Igor Matvienko created the "Roots" group. It included: curly Pasha Artemyev, stylish Dima Astashonok, clockwork Lesha Kabanov and Sasha Berdnikov. The guys performed a song with the same name "Roots", which became a hit of several years. At first this quartet was a bit like the group "Ivanushki", only here there were four participants instead of three.

As a winner of the "Stars Factory 1" they recorded their album, after which they had thousands of fans. Their listeners were mostly high school students. Then all the members of the band sang several songs solo, and this disorganized the group. Pavel Artemiev and Sasha Astashenok finally left the group. The project became uninteresting to admirers.

The fate of the group "Factory"

Many talents were revealed by the "Star Factory". The group "Roots" was ahead of a very bright team of girls. Second place in the competition took in the first season of the women's group "Factory". It turned out to be a fairly long-running project. Blonde Sasha Savelyeva, brunette Sati Casanova and light-haired Irina Toneva with the help of Igor Matvienko for a long time remained a pretty close-knit team. A lot of popular pop hits were performed by girls. It is worth remembering the following songs: "Fish", "Light the lights," "About love," "Tome," "Sea calls." In the initial form, Masha Alalikina also joined the group, but very soon she left the collective. All the girls are not only talented, but also very attractive. During the first year of the group's existence, the girls were able to give 200 concerts.

So successfully, "Factory" existed for 8 years, until the band was left by the soloist Sati Casanova. She decided to start a solo career. Since then, she was succeeded by two girls: Katya Lee and Sasha Popova. The most popular hit of girls was the song "Do not be born beautiful."

The third place of Mikhail Grebenshchikov

Clockwork DJ Misha took third place in the first season of the "Star Factory" project. Mikhail Grebenshchikov graduated from the Voronezh assembly technical school, served in the border troops. This is a very funny and mischievous person, in which the mind, fun, love of life are combined. He was very much approached by the "Star Factory". Mikhail Grebenshchikov felt himself at home there. The artist also liked the spectators very much, he was always among the leaders by voting.

What is the artist doing now? He still remains a wonderful musician, writes poetry, music, starred in serials, participates in a reality show.

Other participants

Who else has opened the "Factory of Stars 1"? The participants were remembered for their diversity. In the first draft of the reality show, the charming Herman Levy took part. To date, he works in the parody sphere. And it is not surprising, because his profile education was a stage. For some time he worked in the parody theater of Vladimir Vinokur, later began to perform with Yevgeny Petrosyan. The artist managed to collaborate with Elena Sparrow and will soon perform with solo numbers.

Another talented participant was Nikolai Burlak. Pop star from it did not work, but he tried himself in directing. The most famous of his films was the picture of "Lyrism" with Elizaveta Arzamasova.

Very original performances remember Anna Kulikova. She surprised with her outfits, hairstyles, causing make-up. The girl's true companion on the stage was a pink guitar. In the future she, along with another talented singer, Sasha Balakireva, became soloists of the "Kuba" group. She has been quite successful to this day. Recently Anya became the wife of one of the guitarists.

The most extraordinary representative of the show was Zhanna Cherukhina. She left the project very quickly. In its place took Konstantin Dudoladov. The girl could not stand the clock surveillance cameras. Today she lives under the name of Zhusupova and does not appear on the stage.
