Alsou became a guest on Natalya Podolskaya’s program “Your Natasha” and talked about children, their upbringing, education and lifestyle. When asking questions to her guest, Podolskaya did not ignore the scandal that happened in 2019. Then Alsou’s daughter Mikella Abramova took part in the show “The Voice. Children” and won with 56.5% of the votes. This outraged viewers of the project: they said that the girl’s victory was bought by influential parents, and her performance was frankly weak.
Alsou spoke for the first time about the fact that her daughter’s victory was truly her merit.
At this moment you don’t think about anything, you just, like any mother, want to help your child. Just like other mothers on the project – some have 10 thousand subscribers, some 50, some 100. And everyone calls their relatives, everyone tells everyone: vote. I had 2 million subscribers, and many celebrity friends and colleagues whom I also asked to vote. And this played a cruel joke,” Alsou said.
After the results were announced, Mikella was hit with hate – people wrote her negative messages and comments on social networks, and approached her on the street. A 10-year-old girl was having a hard time being bullied.
I didn’t care at all what they thought about me, I was only concerned about how my child was feeling now. Mikella is a very strong girl, she endured it stoically, she didn’t even show it. We didn’t have hysterics at home, she just experienced it all within herself. As a mother, I understood that pain and tears were hidden in this silence. We didn’t particularly discuss this topic, only superficially,” Alsou noted.
According to the singer, she did not realize her mistake immediately, but only after a certain time.
I overestimated myself, my capabilities, my fame and took advantage of it. Yes, that was wrong. It’s unfair to others. Because other children’s parents did not have 2 million subscribers. I want to publicly apologize, I want people to understand that this was not planned. No one expected this and did not want a scandal. We all love our children. It was unfair and wrong of me. “I want to apologize to Mikella and to everyone,” Alsou said.
The public scandal forced Mikella to grow up early. Despite everything, she continued to make music. But he won’t participate in competitions anymore—my mother won’t allow it either.
It seems to me that even this will help her in life. She is no longer afraid of anything. “She showed a masculine character,” the artist noted.
