“I don’t respect him”: the famous artist spoke openly about Kirkorov

Sergey Nikonenko: “If I see it, I’ll switch it”

Kirkorov’s sudden return to TV screens is being discussed not only in show business. As you know, in the near future the King of Pop will head the jury in a television project. The first filming with Kirkorov’s participation has already taken place, which outraged many. Viewers are perplexed: why did the boycott of Kirkorov, announced by the management of television channels, last only a little more than a month? Legendary actor Sergei Nikonenko understands the reason for popular indignation.

“I don’t watch Kirkorov myself and I don’t respect him,” says Sergei Petrovich. “I don’t like him not only as a person, but also as a singer. I loved other singers. I even knew some of them personally. I am pleased to remember my meetings with barite Yuri Gulyaev, Muslim Magomaev… Those were singers! I worked in the 70s at a gala concert of cinema comrades. Serious singers from the “first” row took part there. And what composers came to us! And Solovyov-Sedoy, and Mark Fradkin, and Babajanyan! In my opinion, Philip Kirkorov is an amateur performance compared to them. For me personally, he is a restaurant singer. To be fair, I want to say that at one time there was a musical “Chicago” – that’s where it was suitable. I don’t like it anywhere else. Level – “My Bunny”, restaurant.

The legendary actor assures that he has no plans to watch Kirkorov’s return to television screens.

“If I turn on the TV and see it, I’ll switch to another program,” says Nikonenko. – He is such an indecent person who is capable of hitting a woman and offending the weak. “Great Fedora, but a fool” – do you know this proverb? He has good physical characteristics. He grew up and grew tall, but apparently didn’t acquire much intelligence.
