Parents could not even imagine that their child could become one of the most popular pop artists of the USSR and Russia, because there were no prerequisites for this at birth. However, a benevolent fate did the seemingly impossible, making an ordinary village boy subsequently the idol of millions of fans.
To this day, the hit of the eighties and nineties of the 20th century, "My blue-eyed girl", is played on numerous radio stations, delighting fans of creativity of the untimely departed pop artist. Naturally, this popular song and other hits performed by Zhenya Belousov bring a corresponding income from their rental, which safely goes to the owners (former producers and close relatives).

Brief biography of Zhenya Belousov
In the family of Zhenya Belousov, another twin brother, Alexander, was brought up, who, according to his parents, was much calmer than him. After all, it was the future singer who got in touch with the "bad company" and was brought to the police. In childhood, one accident happened to him, which later played a direct negative role in the death of the young artist. Zhenya received a severe head injury after being run over by a car while going to a music school for classes.
From the age of 12, the brothers began to actively pursue a musical career. They got their first experience in a school ensemble. And the appearance on the big stage took place after meeting Bari Alibasov in one of the restaurants in Kursk, where the head of VIA Integral decided to dine with Belousov's vocals. Then there was the experience of a bass player in a popular band and general recognition in 1987.
At the beginning of his creative career, a native of the Ukrainian hinterland was quite entrepreneurial and not strongly associated with moral canons. His romance with producer Marta Mogilevskaya paved the way for him to get married to composer Viktor Dorokhin and poet Lyubov Voropaeva. Acquaintance with the family-creative duo became the basis for the formation of a famous team, which simply stunned the whole country with its popularity.
By the way, the name of the hit "My blue-eyed girl" was directly connected with the computer monitor, the color of the screen of which inspired such a satirical name on Dorokhin. And the vulgar text of this song, the acoustics of which "pressed" the ears from all the "irons" of the country, was written by Voropaeva in a few minutes after the powerful pressure of her husband and colleague.
Fame and the crowd of fans greatly influenced the life of Belousov, who since 1991 has been addicted to alcohol. This could not but affect creativity. Disagreements began to arise, which led to a break. From Dorokhin, the singer passed to Igor Matvienko, which affected the singer's career extremely negatively.
Interestingly, the bad habit contributed to the fact that the artist, at the peak of his popularity, acquired a stake in a distillery in Ryazan. Moreover, instead of the expected profit, in 1996 he ran into serious troubles associated with a criminal case of embezzlement.
Some facts from personal life
The romantic aspect of Zhenya Belousov's life corresponds to his creative activity and inconsistency in decision-making. Many romances and intrigues were interspersed with serious relationships. As a result, daughter Christina and son Roman were born from different mothers.
The death of the idol of millions of fans came when no one expected it. In the spring of 1997, after a vacation in Thailand, Zhenya Belousov ended up in a hospital bed with an attack of pancreatitis, which was the result of a destructive addiction to alcohol. And then a long-standing head injury, which provoked a stroke, already affected. The ensuing brain surgery did not save the singer, who never came out of a coma.
Children
The daughter of a popular pop artist Christina was left without a father at the age of 10. She is now over thirty years old. She works in a successful commercial structure as a translator. Her professional career was previously associated with a modeling agency. According to colleagues, she is a modest and purposeful person who is not in any way pressured by the popularity of her deceased parent, who divorced her mother when she was 7 years old.
Kristina's half-brother Roman is the illegitimate son of Zhenya Belousov from Oksana Shidlovskaya (keyboard player in Belousov's group). The young man did not inherit his penchant for music from his eminent father and decided to connect his life with technology. Despite the fact that their mothers communicate normally with each other, the children themselves could not find a common language.
