Superfinalist of "The Voice of Ukraine-13" Yuri Gorodetsky sang in a duet with Natalia Mogilevskaya. Archived video

Yuriy Gorodetsky, a super finalist of the 13th season of The Voice, became popular on the network long before the project. In particular, thanks to his duet with People's Artist of Ukraine Natalia Mohylevska. Together, they sang the singer's modified hit "Moon," the lyrics of which the star updated to reflect military realities.

A video of the soldier and the singer performing the touching song was posted on YouTube in May 2022. However, even before that, the defender shared his vocal talent with Internet users. That's how Mohylevska noticed him.

"I was known even before the duet with Mogilevska. I started singing and posting videos on the social network in 2019. The first song I sang was "Prayer for Christmas." One day, my brother and I were driving to work, I started singing and asked my brother to record it on his phone to see how I sounded. He really liked it, so I posted it on Facebook and now it has almost 10 million views. That was the beginning of my career. I didn't think about how I looked, I just sang my heart out," Yurii told Fakty.

"A Prayer for Christmas" performed by Horodetsky has garnered almost 100 thousand views on YouTube in the four years since its publication. In total, the singing warrior has over 32 thousand subscribers on the platform.

On the third month of the war, Mohylevska sang her own megahit "Moon," changing the lyrics to "I say no / To this terrible war / And I see in my dream / A peaceful sky... / I say no / The country is on fire / But victorious days / Are coming to you!" Horodetskyi decided to record a cover of the updated song. The video became popular, and later got into the hands of the People's Artist. Eventually, Mohylevska contacted Yurii and offered to sing in a duet.

"I remember sitting in the basement during anxiety and recording it and posting it online. After a while, Natalia contacted me and offered to sing it together. The brigade commander, who had always supported me, agreed to let me go to meet with Mohylewska. It was in Uman, we recorded a video and Natalia posted the song on her social media page. It turned out very beautifully," the fighter said.

Commentators reacted with delight to the duet of the star and the warrior-singer. Under the video, they wrote that they could not hold back their tears and also noted Yuriy's talent.

"To the point of tears... What a great song and a great performance. Thank you so much! A terrible war, so many tears, so much grief", "Thank you, Natalia! Thank you, Yuri! What power in the song! What Power in our Ukrainian nation! Life to you, health and our blue sky, which is not found anywhere else!", "Very beautiful voice, God bless him and all the defenders of Ukraine", "Thank you, dear, for this song! I can't listen to it without crying! Of course we will win and live in a happy country, and we will never forget those who defended our Ukraine!" the audience left.
