Dima Bilan did not pass the blind audition at the first episode of the fourth season of the Voice show. The new mentor Grigory Leps recommended that he forget about his musical career.
A new season of the show "Voice" started last Friday on Channel One. The composition of the star mentors has changed: this time they are the musicians Grigory Leps, Polina Gagarina and Vasily Vakulenko, known as the rapper Basta. And the fourth judge is still the poet and composer Alexander Gradsky.
The first release of the program pleased viewers not only with new contestants, but also with a surprise. One of the blind auditions was attended by Dima Bilan, who had been on the jury of The Voice for the previous three seasons. The Eurovision winner spoke incognito behind a thick curtain so that the reaction of the audience would not confuse the judge. The singer performed the song Sergey Mazaev "Night Caprice" in a modified voice. To everyone's surprise, no one turned to Dima. When the veil of secrecy fell, and Bilan appeared on the stage, everyone, including the mentors, was shocked. As the singer noted, even the great Gradsky himself did not recognize his former colleague in him.
