Nastya Zadorozhnaya put all her efforts to perform the parody of Dima Bilan (her debut male role) on the popular Ukrainian TV project “ShowMustGoOn”.

The make-up artists had to work hard to make Nastya look like Bilan. Their first attempt failed as she looked like another popular artist, Mikhail Galustyan. Although it’s not a formal resemblance that matters, but the manner to behave and sing as Dima Bilan does. Not to forget the limited rehearsal time and no lip-syncing.

“Every image is complicated in its own way. It was my 1st time to perform a man, so I even put some socks in my trousers and put on men’s underwear. I know Dima personally since we were students but it didn’t help that much as his stage image is something different. I deeply respect his work and I’m happy when he succeeds. He is an unpredictable, super active and charismatic singer whose vocal is unrepeatable. But I tried to imitate it as well as his mimics. I even spoilt some of my make up because of my deep focusing on it. I hope that Dima takes our joke with humor” – says Nastya.

Nastya Zadorozhnaya got an African suntan that she’s never had before. She had to agree on such skin experiment not for boasting about her chocolate tone, but for professional purposes only.
As a participant of the Ukrainian “ShowMustGoOn” TV project Nastya had to turn into American iconic singer Tina Turner. Nastya was into everyday rehearsals and vocal exercises to approach as close as possible to the voice of the world-famous celebrity. Not to forget that all songs are to be performed live. Nastya managed the task and made one of the most spectacular acts.

«Tina Turner is an expressive, strong and charming woman who has an unbelievable voice. In order to parody her I had to change my skin color as well as overpass the fear of being lifted up on the swinging platform. I’m happy I could do it and, personally, I regard it as a powerful and catching performance” – comments Nastya.

The “ShowMustGoOn” ratings are growing fast. The producers of the show attracts the audience attention with the brilliant transformation participants have to make in just one week.

The draw was lucky enough for Nastya. Once again she is to perform her favorite singer. In the previous episode it was Britney Spears, and now she has to turn into Zemfira.

“I love her music and deeply respect Zemfira. She is an outstanding musician but very complicated for parody. I’ve watched many of her concerts and interviews but she is different all the time. The head of the jury Slava Manucharov told me frankly that he’d been trying to parody Zemfira several times but didn’t succeed. So now I’ve got a difficult task in front of me”, – confesses Nastya.

The performance itself will be aired on Sunday the 21st of October on “New Channel”(Ukraine).

A new large-scale music project called “ShowMustGoOn” was launched by Ukrainian Novyi Kanal (”New Channel”) on the 7th of October 2012. The idea of the show is that the participants turn into world-famous stars, as well as Russian and Ukrainian pop idols. The main rule of the show is that no lip-synching is allowed; all songs mudt be performed live.
The first episode was a serious test for Nastya as she had to perform as Natalia Mogilevskaya, the very popular Ukranian singer. Inspite of the fact that Mogilevskaya is one of the country’s most popular artists, Nastya was not familiar with her works, which caused some difficulties. Moreover, before the start of the show she didn’t even know about Natalia’s existence! You can watch Nastya’s performance with Natalia Mogilevskaya song on the “New Channel” official

After another lot drawing, held at the end of each episode of “ShowMustGoOn”, Nastya was to turn into a way more familiar artist – Britney Spears.

«My cherished dreams came true! I’m Britney! I loved her songs since I was 13 and I’m a real fan of her dancing performances! Not to say more, Britney has always been an example for me in my own career and I’ve always tried to stick to it when it comes to dancing and concert shows. Despite all the recent rumors, she’s always a great artist to me. That’s why Miguel and I wanted to present her in a serious and respectful way.”
