Chulpan Khamatova once again found herself at the center of a scandal. The actress, who never managed to become a star of the Riga New Theater, suddenly began to sing and even replaced the Russian star Yulia Chicherina.
The Russians are discussing a video of the concert of the Bi-2 group that took place in Riga. Chulpan Khamatova’s appearance on stage was a big surprise. The actress, together with Shura Bi-2, performed the song “My Rock and Roll.” Previously, her partner in this duo was Yulia Chicherina.
Social media users are outraged to the core. They described Chulpan’s song as a failure. The artist didn’t find the notes. Even Shura winced in pain. In addition, they performed the composition in Russian.
“There is no voice at all, but I really want to get on stage”, “A terrible replacement! Chicherina is a real star, and these clowns cannot be compared to anything”, “He looks pathetic”, “They lose their grades. Even Shura is completely distorted”, “Chicherina’s voice cannot be replaced”, “I can’t listen to this”, “When you need money, you don’t just start singing. The actress is like that, she is trying to sing “hits. Chicherina made this song a hit, but why did Khamatova go there?”, The public is outraged.
Recall that the group “Bi-2”, whose soloists have Israeli and Australian citizenship, is prohibited from entering Russia. On May 6, 2023, the Russian Ministry of Justice added Egor Bortnik*, known as Leva Bi-2*, to the register of foreign agents. According to the Ministry of Justice, the musician opposed the special military operation in Ukraine and also spoke negatively about Russia and its inhabitants.
*The Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation included Yegor Bortnik in the list of foreign persons-agents
