“I was losing consciousness and couldn’t stop the tears”: Alsou said as she starred in the video in Venice 09/07/2023, 15:40

The pop star began her career at the age of 15 and stormed the charts with the songs “Winter Dream” and “Sometimes”. In 2001, Alsou took part in the filming of the video for the hit song “Autumn”. Even then, the best authors and videographers collaborated with the up-and-coming artist. She recalled this experience 22 years ago.

“I hope you remember this work of Alexander Shevchenko and my most beautiful video clip, shot by Yuri Grymov, inspired by the legends of Maestro Paganini. Virtuoso, genius, love of life and heartthrob. A beautiful and terrifying story. Many were sure that the musician sold his soul to the devil and received this extraordinary gift. Paganini’s relations with the Catholic Church were extremely complex and contradictory. The bishop refused to celebrate the funeral mass and forbade the burial of the musician in his homeland, “said Alsu.

The film crew went to the most romantic city on the planet with the young singer. The result was not even a clip, but a mini-film where an 18-year-old girl appeared as a dramatic actress.

“It was one of the most difficult shootings for me. The process took place in Venice in the summer in forty degree heat. I wear hats, corsets, crinolines and layers of woolen dresses. At some point I started losing consciousness and couldn’t stop the tears. I lay down directly on the stone floor of one of the streets, felt a little sorry and went to work, “recalled the Honored Artist of Russia.

The singer noted that earlier most of her videos were accompanied by a complex story. But then fans started asking for videos with more of her and less actors. The star thought about what kind of work the viewer expects from her now. “I will definitely listen to your opinion,” Alsu promised.

Fans with nostalgia checked the footage with the young star. Most of them said they liked the famously twisted dramatic plots more than the empty commercials. Users did not stop at complimenting the finalist of the Eurovision-2000 competition.

“You are beautiful, no doubt about it. With the theme, of course, and also with Alsou in the title role”, “We are definitely waiting for new masterpieces of this kind from you. Are you tired of these antics under falling bills”, “My favorite video, a master song and a great actress”, “Our young years passed with you”, “Here you are always like this for me, my Alsou”, “Sometimes I watch this clip on purpose, it is very beautiful, touching and sad. A wonderful actor and young Alsou, “he wrote in the comments.
