Former lead singer of the super popular band Bad Boys Blue in the 1980s and 1990s Kevin McCoy (performer of the hit You are Woman) told NEWS.ru how his producer Igor Senger organized concerts of Russian singers Nadezhda Kadysheva and Nadezhda Babkina in Germany. According to the artist, the performances of the soloist of the “Golden Ring” were successful. As McCoy added, on the contrary, no one bought tickets for Babkina’s show, and 15 concerts, according to the singer, had to be cancelled.
Igor personally organized concerts for both performers in Germany. Kadysheva’s performances were sold out. He decided to repeat the success and invited the second Nadezhda. And he got to 15 concerts that had to be cancelled. Because tickets were not sold at all! For example, only 20-30 tickets were sold for halls with 2-3 thousand seats. For some reason, no one bought them. I suggest we agree that Kadysheva and Babkina are completely different. In Russia, each has her own fans. But Kadysheva is favored by the Western public, and Babkina for some reason “didn’t go over well” , McCoy believes.
Earlier, the ex-lead singer of Bad Boys Blue called Kadysheva “a granny you can dream about,” and said that he is often a guest at the artist’s family celebrations.
