The Russian music critic and showman admitted that he personally did not earn anything from the singer Alla Pugacheva. Only that they paid the editorial staff for their work, he told the portal. URA.ru .
Previously, Neighbors was called one of the main fans of the prima donna in journalistic circles. However, after the singer's flight from the country, the critic's attitude towards the star changed dramatically. Now Neighbors does not want to talk about her at all, "this person no longer exists for him, he is not interested in her life."
The singer herself spoke condescendingly about critics, including Neighbors, they say, "let them talk, they make money on it."
"I have not earned anything on it — not a ruble and not a penny in my whole life!", — Neighbors were indignant.
He added that he received money only for his work.
"I was paid by the editors only for the interviews I did with her. But that was my job, you know? And that was a long time ago! At the same time, I did interviews with many people, not just with her. Excuse me, but at whose expense did she live? She lived at the expense of the audience! ", — concluded Neighbors.
As reported by EADaily, People's Artist of Russia Nadezhda Babkina stated that she did not need the title of prima donna, which had previously been assigned to the runaway from Russia Pugacheva. She stressed that she allows herself to be compared only with other great singers of her genre, for example, with Lyudmila Zykina, Olga Voronets and Lydia Ruslanova.
