Lyubov Uspenskaya: “Pluschenko wrote that I was his favorite performer”

Singer Lyubov Uspenskaya spoke about her friendship with figure skater Evgeni Plushenko.

Plushenko is a two-time Olympic figure skating champion.

— Would you be interested in having a figure skater play on your composition?

— Figure skating is a very popular sport, said a figure skater on one of my songs during the show. On the song “Au seul tendre”.

— Do you know any Russian figure skaters? Maybe you know someone?

— Plushenko is my good friend. He had a website and wrote that his favorite artist was Lyubov Uspenskaya. Everyone started thinking: “Who is she?” Abroad, they are used to Beyoncé, etc., but he wrote to me.

— Alexandra Trusova started singing. Do you think an athlete can succeed in this profession?

– That’s a very good question. If she had devoted herself to music, she might have succeeded in it too. I once told Tsiskaridze, who is now a TV presenter, that he came from ballet and became a presenter, and I asked him if I had a chance to become a ballerina? He answered: “Yes,” reports Uspenskaïa’s words.
