I have mentioned a few times already about this artist that today gathers millions of fans around the world and is considered to be a Star of the world scale (at least this is Russia’s point). And I am fond of his creative work too, so I was thinking of writing about him from the very beginning, but all the time somehow shelved this… May be because I wanted to collect all my chaotic and diffused thoughts and feelings together so to put everything into one interesting entry..? J Well, most likely.
I entered the ranks of his fans a few years ago when I accidentally got to a concert where he was one of the performers. Before I had a very bad opinion and attitude towards him, because I found him a kind of self-complacent and smug person like parvenu, and his presumptuous behavior even irritated me! But that evening turned everything upside-down ))) I was surprised and delighted simultaneously to recognize I was wrong. Dima’s performance was great in spite of bad, in my opinion, organization and conditions for the concert. I forgot everything when he started to sing and dance, because he is a person of charisma and strong energy. You know, I felt like I was under his irresistible charm J First of all, I was really shocked when heard his live singing as it occurs very rarely nowadays, and his vocal deserves respect, and secondly – even chiefly – I was fascinated by his sincerity and feelings which he shared and gave to audience. He is a very hard-working guy and undoubtedly very talented, because I think that real talent comes from the soul, and it is quiet visible whether a person does his “art” for business, or he does it just because he wants and lives for art.
Of course, I understand that nobody can call Bilan a poor artist and that he doesn’t make money on his performances, but I think that it is very common, and moreover, appropriate today when somebody (no matter what is the profession) earns money if there is such an opportunity. I’m just happy that today’s reality allows people of Art earn money and avoid poverty as it was frequent and customary in old times. The thing is whether an artist is truly gifted or not, which is like an initial light and energy that comes from the artist. I believe, Dima Bilan is such kind of person J
