This Sunday, January 28, at 21:00 on the channel "1 + 1" the premiere of the new eighth season of the vocal project "Voice of the Kraini" will take place, star coaches are Sergei Babkin, Jamala, who expects the first child, Potap, Tina Karol, Yuri Gorbunov and Katya Osadchaya.

On the eve of the first issue of "blind auditions" Sergei Babkin decorated the cover of the magazine "Telenedelya" and told what participants will be looking for this season:.

"It's simple: in my team I see interesting, original guys, necessarily sensual. Next is the creative process: which song to choose, who should give it. Never put during the "vocal battles" in a pair of weak and strong vocalist. They should be in one "weight category", otherwise the song will not sound. And to evaluate the participants in this case is more interesting. Another important point in the project is the team spirit. Vera Kekelia and Roma Duda even married after participating in the "Voice of the Kraini". We continue to be friends. When I come to Kiev, we meet, and so - we support relations by phone ".

Also, the stellar coach admitted why he and his wife decided to name their daughter Veselina: "Veselin is a Bulgarian name, although Snezhka and I do not have anything to do with this nationality. When Snezhana was pregnant with her daughter, we toured. After the performance, one girl started talking with Snezhana: "Oh, you know, my mother's name is the same as you, do you know that this is a Bulgarian name?" But my grandmother was Veselina ". Then Snowball, as she said, had heard nothing - quickly found a pen, paper and wrote down the name. He comes to me, gives me a piece of paper and says: "That's how we will call our daughter". I did not immediately understand what it says. But I also really liked it - an unusual name ".

Recall that this year the participants of the "Vote-8" are waiting for new tough rules: a participant who could not deploy a single coaching chair will be forced to leave the stage without communicating with star coaches. Also one of the innovations of the season was a special elevator, on which the vocalists will climb the stage.

In addition, a record number of star participants will take part in "Golsi kraїni-8":

singer Zlata Ognevic, Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling Irina Merleni, participant of "Dancing with the Stars" and Ukrainian actress Kamaliya, singer Irina Fedishin, participant of "Dancing with the Stars" and actor Yuri Tkach and ex-Boris April Zianja. Another innovation of the season will be the appearance of the leading backstage Artem Gagarin. During the programs' release, Artem will show the most interesting moments of the backstage for users of social networks, exclusive interviews with participants, as well as with the project team.
