The news that the Spanish macho Enrique Iglesias will arrive in Kiev in September was a real surprise for fans and skeptics. The first coming of the sexual singer to our land took place 11 years ago, and very few people expected the second take (given the inactive schedule of the artist, because there were only a few tours since 2007).
Perhaps the young man did not even think about making our capital in the future concert plan, but then there was a tempting offer to come to Ukraine. The sultry handsome man was offered a place of the “nail of the program” on the Birthday of the ATB trading network. The details of the honorarium were behind the scenes, but, they say, there were at least five zeros, and in the rider there were white Chinese tablecloths, sushi and rolls, sugar-free cola and vodka, and the stellar guest stopped at InterContinental.
To attract the audience, the organizers resorted to a subtle marketing move: you sweep the stocks from the shelves and exchange for chips, then buy a ticket for half the price. The rest, less gambling, were arranged for 1600 hryvnia, because not every day you can listen to live "Bailando".
A motley crowd from every corner of the country since 17. 00 beat the thresholds of the stadium, warming up in a cool evening, not at all with warm scarves. And by seven o'clock the stands were filled and almost the entire first and second fan zones. It should be noted that such a good “corporatchik” for clients turned out at the Olympic.
The show started with a warm-up from the leading radio station NRG - Masha Vinogradova and Frank, and on the background played DJ Sanya Dymov. There were no surprises - our national anthem was sung by a Ukrainian of Bolivian origin Michel Andrade. But, closer to 21. 00, people frankly started to get bored, especially at the scene: they were going out for mulled wine and hot dogs.
And here she is - minute X - at the beginning of the tenth, under the wild cries of girls and their mothers, it was not Vinnik who came out at all if someone hoped to see Oleg! In an unpretentious hoodie, jeans and, traditionally, a cap, the Grammy winner in the spotlight of the spotlights danced on the stage. 43-year-old Enrique jumped like a grasshopper, rushed between guitarists and snatched drumsticks from drummers. Then, without Nicole Scherzinger, but with a no less bright vocalist performed “Heartbeat”. The Spanish-speaking block with “Subeme La Radio” and “Duele El Corazon” was perceived by the public “with a bang”, repeating several familiar words behind Iglesias, without being particularly guided in the text.. But, so to speak, the mood caught. Moving to the center of the Olympic, the crying Ring My Bells finally sounded - it was already easier with English and choral singing..
Tightened the hits of “Hero”, “Tired of Being Sorry” and “Escape”, which, by the way, in 2001 determined his personal life - during the shooting of the video, the man met tennis player Anna Kournikova. Recently, the couple were born twins.
The most unpredictable moment of the concert was not even the fact that the Spaniard drank alcohol with fans, whom he called to his stage, but a kiss with a young fan.. An agile girl slipped between security and jumped on an idol, embraced and behaved like a childish child (and she’s no more than 17 years old). Either a degree of hot, or adrenaline - Enrique responded to the caresses of the young lady. This evening a brave little girl will remember for a lifetime! I wonder what Kournikova would say?.
Fireworks, balloons, time-worn music and your own in the board Enrique Iglesias - get-together turned out that you need. We are waiting for the 30th anniversary of supermarkets, look, some other famous person will bring. I vote for Ed Shiran or Adele!.
We will remind, earlier we wrote that Olya Polyakova and Slava Kaminska appeared in public in identical dresses.
