Music critic Otar Kushanashvili is outraged by Yaroslav Dronov’s (SHAMAN) decision to abstain from voting on ‘Intervidenie’ because ‘Russia has already won’ with so many participants from different countries arriving in Moscow.
‘No one was going to vote for you,’ Kushanashvili said, expressing his disagreement with Shaman’s reasoning for not participating in the voting process. He criticized Shaman for his decision, viewing it as discrediting the competition’s integrity. The notion that Russia’s success should preclude others from participating was met with strong disapproval.
Kushanashvili emphasized the importance of fair competition and the principle of all participants being worthy of consideration, regardless of their country of origin. He noted that Shaman’s refusal to vote could be seen as disrespectful to the artists who had put effort into their performances.
The music critic highlighted the value of each artist’s contribution to the competition, regardless of the ultimate outcome. He stressed that voting is a fundamental aspect of events like ‘Intervidenie’, essential for recognizing talent and promoting diversity within the music industry.
Kushanashvili’s comments shed light on the significance of maintaining a spirit of inclusivity and fairness in international competitions like ‘Intervidenie’. He condemned Shaman’s decision as detrimental to the collaborative and celebratory nature of such events, highlighting the need for all participants to engage fully in the process.
In the wake of Shaman’s controversial abstention, discussions around the responsibilities of participants in global music events have been reignited.
