Singer Svetlana Razina recently commented on the work of Olga Buzova during an interview with the POPCAKE YouTube channel, sharing a pointed critique of Buzova’s artistic output.
Razina described Buzova and similar artists as operating in a space she deems immoral and vulgar, arguing that their performances carry a cheap, debauched aura.
In Razina’s view, only the VIA Gra group stands apart as a performance that feels refined and upscale. She suggested that their stage craft does not convey immorality but rather a sense of luxury and polish.
Razina questioned the direction of Olga Buzova’s career, using a nickname that translates roughly to a critical jab, and she asserted that the public acts she criticizes reflect a burden on the country rather than progress. She described the behavior as rude and inappropriate.
There is mention that, as of December 2023, jokes about Buzova’s vocal abilities persist among some listeners. Razina indicated such humor is ill-timed and unfair, pointing out that the issue goes back several years to earlier decades of her career.
Razina noted that concert venues have seen full houses for Buzova’s solo performances, and she suggested that fans could corroborate her claim about the quality of the music presented on stage. She attributed vocal criticism to fans who may be influenced by misinformation circulating online and in the media.
Earlier in her career, Olga Buzova performed a rendition of The King and the Clown during a New Year’s Eve event, a choice Razina may view as emblematic of the artist’s style and public reception.
