http://kristellemusic.com/kristelle-interview-for-sts-channel/

Journalist: Welcome to STS-channel. This is the program 'Nothing personal', and we are Tanya and Kate. As usual, today we have a lot of issues of top priority for discussion, as well as interesting and talented people as guests. We are very glad to present you Violetta Nikolashkina, the consultant of the Committee for Matters concerning Young Persons of Tambov town administration, the main coordinator of the 'Student Spring-2013' city project, and Kristelle, the student of Tambov State University, named after Derzhavin, and the winner of the Grand Prix of the student festival. Good day, ladies!
Kristelle, Violetta: Good day!
Journalist: First of all, our congratulations to Kristelle on this winning! And on the fact, that the festival has taken place. And on Kristelle's taking the Grand Prix of the contest! Violetta, what made you worried mostly while holding the festival?
Violetta: Our worries will never end. This is the 17th time, the 'Student Spring' project is being hold on. And it becomes more and more popular among young people, students. The number of participants grows from year to year, and it made 12 000 this year. The project resulted in 2 months of castings and 33 concerts on 10 stages of the town. In its turn, our Committee for Matters concerning Young Persons becomes more and more advanced. The city administration supervises the project and puts hopes on it. And we are very glad that the project is equal to our expectations. The essential and very important direction is music. Just beside me there is sitting Kristelle, the holder of the Gran Prix of the 'Student Spring-2013' city competition and the bright representative of this direction.
Journalist: Kristelle, what are your impressions about the festival? Tell us about your feelings during the performance.
Kristelle: That was rather emotional and exciting. Frankly speaking, I'm anxious before every single concert. My opinion is that: if you are not excited, don't bother doing what you do. I was making my mood for the performance, generating positive emotions, thinking of how to organize the act. That was the first time I was performing at this stage, and of course, everything was unusual and a bit emotional. I became really shocked when I was awarded the prize. Actually, I didn't think that it would be given to me, and even burst into tears.
Journalist: Kristelle, and how was the act being prepared? How did you manage to conquer the jury?
Kristelle: I was performing with 'Ain`t no other man' (Christina Aguilera's cover). This is the style I feel myself easily and relaxedly in. That's why I managed to express myself and all my emotions best of all.
Journalist: Voletta, a question to you. How quickly did you feel and notice Kristelle? Was it like in one breath and all the jurors agreed immediately?
Violetta: Well, actually, Kristelle is a clever cookie. She not only approached the performance in a professional way, but also took seriously provisions of the festival. Of course, when the jury saw Kristelle at the concert of her educational institution for the first time, all members of it understood that that was the winner. Because it was marvellous! Speaking generally, what is a Grand Prix prize? It is when the performance agitates the whole audience. It is when no one is left aside in feeling the depth and volume of the sound: neither a professional, nor a mere listener. This is what everyone understood: this is great! That was what we really felt during Kristelle’s performance.
And when Kristelle was performing in the elimination round and the jury admitted changing the first places but not the Grand Prix, it became clear that it would be awarded to Kristelle, because she astonished everyone. She fascinated the audience earlier, and didn’t let down it at the Gala concert. The audience was standing motionless, when she appeared on the stage.
Why didn’t she know that she would get the Grand Prix? Thanks to suspense, which is kept till the final moment.
Journalist: Kristelle, we understand that you were anxious because you didn’t know the results. Is that true?
Kristelle: Yes, that was the true ceiling! I was called at the very end. And this is really wonderful! I can’t express my emotions in words.
Journalist: Kristelle, we are speaking about the importance of this festival. Those, who present themselves in such a way, by no doubt do it professionally. What do you do now to develop and promote your brand Kristelle?
Kristelle: You are absolutely right. We are working a lot to promote the project Kristelle. I collaborate with the very talented composer Andrew Pronin. We have already signed a contract for synchronization with the American company ‘Vital Music’, and I very much hope that it will give its results.
Journalist: Kristelle, did you take part in the ‘Student Spring’ together with the other students or did you work at your solo-performance?
Kristelle: I performed both solo and together with my fellow students this year. As for the previous one – I was solo, in duets and even with backup dancers.
Journalist: Kristelle, as far as we know, you have been working on your vocal for rather a long time. How long time did you need to get ready for such a perfect performance? How many hours a week do you sing and from what age?
Kristelle: I started to sing when I was 9 years old. So, I have been doing it for 10 years already. With years come experience and self-confidence, it becomes easier to appear on the stage and show something new, find new things in yourself, feel it inside and share it with the audience.
Journalist: As far as we again know, Kristelle, this is not the only contest which you have won. Do you have international awards and prizes?
Kristelle: Right you are! The international song contest in Vienna (Austria). I took the 3rd prize there. I was 11 at that time, and it was a real furor for me!
Journalist: Violetta, when are you planning to start preparations for the new student festival-2014?
Violetta: This fall. The new castings for directors, actors, singers, etc. are going to be held pretty soon.
Journalist: Violetta, Kristelle, many thanks for this interview. Violetta, we wish you good luck in the new festival of the next year! For you, Kristelle, success in your further professional vocal activity and career!
Violetta, Kristelle: Thanks you!
