june 17 2016 hellooooo

hey hope you are having a wonderful 2016 ! the weather is heating up ... just wanted to post to let people know we are still alive...but the only internet we have in public wifi...believe me, we still work on cleaverb.net but we cannot upload anything .. my apologies. we have finished our playlists for the years 2008-2011 and here is a 'sneak-peek' at the lists:

So sorry we can not update cleaverb.net right now...

We are having some technical difficulties hope to be back in May . Not that anyone will find this message , but Happy Birthday to you ! Happy Birthday Albina ! Happy Birthday Nadezhda ! Happy Birthday Kristina ! Happy Birthday Silvia ! Happy Birthday Alexey ! Happy Birthday Nadya ! We are able to at least go to VK to keep up with all the activities ... have a great day !

New Biographies . read me.

  In the past few days we have uploaded our bio pages for the New Blestyashchie members Kristina and Silvia .
  A couple of paragraphs is all we can give. We can't list every award you won, because the fact checking would be impossible. So we have to generalize it down to 'she won many awards' .
Oh man. Pleaase. It's not easy to write a biography, first you have to find the material. You know, we look to find out about your life, and share our knowledge.
Be careful because the 'what you say' can really stick with people; it might be the only biography written and available online. So it is all they know/ all they can find.
There is always the free spirit of humanity in an individual. We might write that they have oatmeal for breakfast every day, and then find out that they switched to having toast every day. But the story about oatmeal is what people see, so it must be true. And that, is an example of why we try to write only a basic outline of the individuals.
  It is not our intent to embarass the subject, only to inform those who are curious about them. We do our best to not give out personal details, such as your telephone number or address. But we do like to list details such birthdays, maybe the city where you grew up. You know, we don't want it to seem that you are an angel who descended from heaven to bless the world with your talents, or that you were hatched from an egg. Please smile, i am. But if that is the case, we are not going to write that.
  It is important that people see you as a human being. We like to list a persons eye color, hair, and height if it is available.
Then we look for events in the subjects life that may give clues to their personality. But don't make a big deal about them. If you grew up by the ocean, it gives a picture of your daily life. If you won a dance contest when you were 11 years old, it may have inspired you to work hard and seek to further your ambitions. It's something.People like to read those kind of details.
  We did, at one time, write a biography that turned out was NOT the same person we had thought. After 6 months, somebody (thank you!) wrote to us about the mistake. And we corrected the information. BUT for 6 months anybody online could have read that false information, and accepted it as fact. Thereby, we deceived the public. Very bad for your image. People will tend to remember your mistakes; you could be right 99 % of the time, but some people will only recall that you were wrong 1% of the time. Why do we do that ?
  I am a human being. Humans are prone to make mistakes. That is how we better ourselves.

  My biography would go something like this. Was born in a remote,small midwestern town. When very young, had a serious ear infection, that affected my balance. Tried sports, tried music. But i was never that organized of a person. I never stayed home, i was always out wandering around.
No matter the weather, i would even go out in a blizzard. I love snow. I don't like the cold.
  After school, moved to a city. After a couple of years, was offered a job in a sunny southern city. Made new friends every day. People just like me; they looked to better themselves rather than point fingers at other peoples flaws. The city grew around me. Got tired of it, and moved to the country. It took 10 years, but eventually the city crept up and enveloped me in its realm once again. But now the circumstances are more to my liking.

it's been a rough few days. . zzzzzzzz

Let us say a friend told me what i posted was 'more about cleaverb' than the important stuff. My apologies. It's becoming a bad habit, having to apologize weekly. For two nights in a row, i woke up in the middle of the night, unable to sleep. But we had one of the greatest days at work, and the atmosphere carried on into the evening. So i get up after 2 hours sleep, and there is a link for Olga Orlovas - Ptitsa video. Beautiful, and well there is plenty to post about, so i got to writing for cleaverb.net . Thought it was okay... until the friend called. Every other word was me me me. I suppose this is a vague, misty cloud of an explanation, as i'm still as loony as i was this morning. Here is the original text, very much intended to be humorous :   Fresh new video this morning, as we have the official video for Olya Orlova - Ptitsa !
Olga is one of the most friendliest people you will ever meet, and this song may grow to be the surprise of the year.
She may joke about her stature 5' 4", which really isn't that short, but Olya has the heart of a lion. We wish you All the Best!
As you already know, Olga Orlova was one of the creative forces which brought Blestyashchie to prominence in their early days.
While we are on the subject, we noticed that the Blestyashchie YouTube channel has uploaded a few videos recently, including one we have never knew existed; check out Blestyashchie - Steklanaya Lyubov, the song was released on their Za Chetyre Morya album of 2002. There are more new videos on the BlestGroup YouTube channel.
  And we have one more Blest related topic, here is a 19 minute video of Julia Kovalchuk performing at the Muz-tv PartyZone Julia Kovalchuk October 4th live, Julia K. will also be performing at New Wave (Novaya Bolna) 2015 on October 7th ? Uh, don't quote me on the date, please. But she will be there, and she will be performing.

  We would like to wish a Happy Birthday to Tereza Kerndlová !
Some of my favorite songs/videos for Tereza are: Holka Jako Já, Schody Z Nebe, and Tepe Srdce Mý.
A couple of live videos from 2015 at: Anděl (Supermiss 2014 21-03-2015), Havířov - 21.6.2015 - Schody z nebe, and this one appears to be a phone video, not great quality but gives you the 'audience perspective' in Tereza Kerndlová live.
See You In A Couple Of Days, cleaverb .

Julia Kovalchuk / JK2015

It's only been a couple of months since this album was released , yet I am thoroughly impressed with this album. Yulias' vocals sound great, the music is soothing; it just sounds like the soundtrack to life. This album is the best of 2015 , i am not sure anyone can top this music. Not right now.

The album is on itunes at https://itunes.apple.com/ru/album/jk2015/id995156450?ign-mpt=uo%3D6 .

I will, for the present time, stop short of declaring Julia Kovalchuk the heir-apparent 'queen' of Blest soloists. As we see it, her biggest problem will be gaining new fans and getting people to listen.. you know how it is when you give people exactly what they want but they still won't listen. Well , something like that.

One interesting thing, in my opinion, is that a westernert like myself can understand the lyrics. Better than most.

Maybe we have too much respect for this talented lady; she is a show-stopper ! Yulia, if you want a successful career in music, knock 'em dead. Don't stop after one knockdown.Hit 'em again.

Ultimately, I am impressed by the slow songs :
14 Tebe... is the most beautiful music we have heard this year. It shows a lot of heart . I like to start with the last song Tebe... and then let the media player repeat into V Dim.

1 V Dim at first i thought this was a weak song, but in reality it displays the maturity and the depth of Julia.

2 Stat Chuzimi has a bit of rap , it's very well done but i don't know who the rapper is by name. My choice for single.

3 V Zametki performed with her husband Alexi , thought this was a little soft but it seems grand now.

4 Chocolad the rock sound which will probably be her next single. It's great!

5 Moxito from a couple years ago , this is a fine song.

6 Ya Slushaio Morye i really enjoy this sound. The vocals remind me of Sedokova. But more relaxed.

7 Pulyami this is a twangy, slow rocker . Great accoustics .

8 Tolkni Menya her first single, back in 2008. Still sounds great !

9 Tolko Tvioya Driving beat with some synth .

10 Mezdu Nami the great single from 2012 which ended up at number 3 on our Top 5 . Remixed to sound even better.

11 Samurai ecclectic oriental sound with fine backing vocals. Nice somber tone.

12 Pryamo Serdse still a fine song .

13 Pokoleniye Leta umm somehow we missed this song when it was released as a single. Outstanding !

March 23, 2015 there is a lot more than just music going on right now..

It seems as if we have had a good start to the year. We have had 20 singles already, but only 6 music videos. Makes it worthless to pick a top 5 out of 6 choices. Our top track = most listened to is Mesedas Peresecheniye, Sedokovas Tishe, Ani Loraks Korabli.

Nadezhda Granovskayas Ostaniya is currently my favorite, not a dancy song but interesting . My faves change all the time.

We were thinking how hard it would be to perform and what these amazing entertainers go through on a daily basis; diets, fitness, wardrobe, makeup, hair styling. Not things most 'guys' concern themselves with. Diets, we try to stay healthy, but everyone gets to indulge on occasion. Fitness, we sometimes feel sorry for people who visit a gym and use machines for workouts. We have always enjoyed 'the real world' walking or jogging on a trail. So that might be hard to adjust to. Wardrobe, now there is no way we could dance and sing in high heels. That has to be a talent in itself. Makeup, we once wore paint for Halloween, and it was hot and irritating to say the least.

There may be a lull in activity for the next few days, with the exception of Tatyana Kotovas video for Nevernaya on the 24th. We 'll probably write a short paragragh or two as usual. But there is not much else to report right now.

So that does give us a chance to get out and enjoy the spring weather, it's nice here. The final four basketball tournament is one of our annual events that we take great interest in. We also had a friend pass away, and it may have touched some emotions. Sympathy not , its an adjustment period, and we do not know how long it will take to calm down. We are also having an allergy , but its much better than having snow in May, like 2014....

Blestyashchie Photos from ZD Awards 2014 February 23,2015

Most people will look at the video and say sarcastically, "It's the Blestyashchie Medley. Big deal."
 When you live 'on-the-other-side-of-the-world' , it is a reason to celebrate !
I can't really say why the Blest.ru website doesn't get updates anymore; i do not know the answer to that. So anytime we can go out and find the group performing, we take the time to watch.
Love you girls, each and every one of you. Great performance!

The next day, photos of the occasion were being uploaded to various places. We collected 10 photos, and we thought it would be "awesome" to see them together in a photo album. Except we do not have that capability. Here are the ten pictures we found:

The first photo i got from Yulianna Lukasheva's VK . The second photo, just notice that Anna Semenovich is in the photo. Not sure of the third photo origin, possibly Anna Semenovich was the photographer, Photos 4 and 5 are the same; think they are from Olga Orlova Facebook and VK pages, 6 small photo maybe not known, 7 has the fine quality like number 3, so it may be Anna S photo 8 is the best quality with Anna in the photo, 9 is on stage, photo from MK website, and 10 is the girls with the award and the stage door in the background.
