Vladimir Mayakovsky: Love boat crashed on Brik. The second edition of the “knockouts” of the fifth season of “Voices Loves does not love, I break my hands analysis

The fifth season of the musical show "Voice" has long crossed the equator. Behind are thirteen episodes, including "blind auditions", "fights" and part of the "knockouts", ahead are different degrees of the final, which is just over a month away - it will take place under the very New Year. But for now, the contestants have a different goal - to survive in their top three, show everything they are capable of, and go to the next round.

There are only three episodes in the “knockout” series, in each there is one trio from each mentor, who prepares the numbers based on the individual qualities of his contestants. Along the way, of course, another task is being solved - only strong performers should remain in the team, moreover, ready to compete with applicants from other jury members in case of victory. In the second edition of the "knockouts" part of the mentors decided to determine the best with the help of domestic songs.

Grigory Leps brought out in his trio Kirill Babiev with Olga Kormukhina's composition "I'm Falling into the Sky", Yuliana Melkumyan with "Late" by Natalia Podolskaya and Niko Neman with the song of the Aria group "I'm Free".

The mentor, it seems, made the choice even in the process of performances - Neman and Babiev went further, whose intonations were very reminiscent of Valery Kipelov, but Yuliana, who was a bit similar in style to Tanya Bulanova, was called the loser.

Polina Gagarina tried to make her team members look as little alike as possible. Ekaterina Kovskaya sang “Say No” by pop singer Mikhail Bublik as something jazzy, and Adelina Moiseeva’s expressive performance from Pugachev’s “I Kissed Him” caused extreme excitement among the judges (Leps even regretted that there was no extra verse in the song - they say, then the singer , who consistently got rid of her wardrobe, would have to take off her dress).

Against this background, only Aminata Savadogo stood out, who very calmly performed the composition of the group "City 312" "Turn around" - and naturally lost, although Gagarina (and this was evident) was very inconvenient to call her Eurovision 2015 colleague the loser.

Leonid Agutin was the only one who gave English-language compositions to two of his three singers: Vlad Vengli sang "I" ll Never Fall In Love Again" by Tom Jones, and Nicole Knaus sang "His Eyes is on the Sparrow" by Whitney Houston.

Vladi Blaiberg got the song "My Clear Star", recorded by Stas Namin's group "Flowers" in 1973.

However, judging by the speed of Agutin's decision, Knaus was out of competition - and not because she went through pregnancy and childbirth this season of "Voice", but also because of her natural talent, which allowed her to easily reach "knockouts". “I never cease to be amazed at how you sing and how you live,” Agutin remarked, announcing that she had advanced to the next round.

But between Vlad and Vladi, he had to choose - according to the mentor, they both have strong and weak sides. As a result, Vladi Blaiberg went further - as Agutin said, at this stage it would be more convenient for him to work with a more experienced person.

A similar choice - and about the same - had to be made by Dima Bilan.

For his trio, he chose songs with a story. Ian Myers sang Maxim Fadeev's composition "Breach the line", which should be included in the soundtrack for the cartoon "Savva" conceived by Fadeev. Warrior heart. Oleg Kondrakov got "Night" - a song by David Tukhmanov to Vladimir Mayakovsky's dying and unfinished poem (from which the expression "The love boat crashed against everyday life" came from), which was intended to start Nikolai Noskov's solo career.

Kondrakov was named the winner first and immediately.

But Myers had to compete with Tornike Kvitatiani, who performed on Spanish"Abrazame" from the repertoire of Julio Iglesias, and the reason for the loss was the mentor's vision of the team's strategy in the next stages. He chose Kvitatiani, and explained his decision as follows: “You are equivalent in voice, but it’s more interesting for me to work further and correct some things with Tornike.”

"Loves? does not love? I break my hands…” Vladimir Mayakovsky

Loves? does not love? I break my hands
and I scatter my fingers
so tear guessing and let in May
corollas of opposite daisies
Let the haircut and shave reveal the gray hair
Let the silver of the years cause a lot
I hope I never come
shameful prudence towards me

Already the second
you must have gone to bed
Maybe
and you have this
I'm in no hurry
and lightning telegrams
I don't need
you
wake up and disturb

the sea is receding
the sea goes to sleep
As they say, the incident is over

We are with you
And there is no need for a list
mutual pain troubles and insults.

You must have gone to bed for the second time
In the night the Milky Way with a silver Eye
I'm not in a hurry and lightning telegrams
I don't need to wake you up and disturb you
as they say the incident is over
love boat crashed on life
With you, we are in the calculation and there is nothing to list
mutual pain troubles and insults
Look how quiet the world is
The night overlaid the sky with a starry tribute
at times like these you get up and say
centuries of history and the universe

Analysis of Mayakovsky's poem "Loves? does not love? I break my hands…”

IN last years Mayakovsky worked on the poem "Out loud". As he himself explained the idea, this work is a way to speak directly with descendants. Vladimir Vladimirovich provided it with a subtitle - "The first entry into the poem." Initially, it was assumed that "Out loud" would become part of Mayakovsky's conceived poem about the five-year plan. Subsequently, the plan had to be abandoned. Vladimir Vladimirovich proposed to perceive "Out loud" as a completely independent and complete work. A few more sketches remained of the never-written poem about the five-year plan. They were supposed to be a second introduction, which is lyrical in nature. At present, it is customary to combine them and print them under the general title "Unfinished". One of these passages is “Loves? does not love? I break my hands ... ”, which never saw the light of day during the life of the poet and was published for the first time only in 1934. Mayakovsky intended to make the second introduction to the poem about the five-year plan in the form of a letter to Lila Yurievna Brik, the main love of his life. Vladimir Vladimirovich met her in 1915. This was followed by a stormy and full of vicissitudes of the relationship. Everything was complicated by the fact that Brik was married and was not going to part with her legal spouse.

Lyrical hero Poems "Love? does not love? I’m breaking my hands ... ”is desperately trying to figure out how the woman dear to his heart still treats him. The situation is so complex that it is necessary to resort to folk methods. Preference is given to divination on chamomile. At the same time, the hero of the work is not a boy or even a young man for a long time, which is directly stated: "... let haircut and shaving reveal gray hair ...". And fortune-telling on a camomile, and the love itself that led to it, is to some extent madness. The lyrical hero understands this perfectly, but does not intend to fight his feelings. He doesn't want a normal life. Moreover, he categorically does not want to live like this and in the finale expresses the hope that shameful prudence will never come to him. The last lines of the poem are perceived as a prophecy. Mayakovsky never became an ordinary inhabitant, having committed suicide in 1930. It is interesting that one of the passages included in "Unfinished" - "You must have gone to bed already the second ..." - was partially included in the text of the suicide note left by the poet and printed in the newspapers along with a note about his suicide.
