Among the features of variety performance – simplicity, accessibility, purely entertainment -oriented, and the ability to understand, even on the part of the average viewer interest and knowledge is sometimes too far from the classic conservatory education. In addition, among its characteristics can be noted first of all the possibility of storing enough light and music and words work. Despite the variety of styles of pop songs, they are characterized by almost the same setting of voice and breath.

Motet – a universal genre of song performance in the form of polyphony, which originated in the thirteenth centuryFrance.

Originally motets related to professional art, which was the main varieties of Western music until the middle of the XVIth century. However, the text comments are increasingly began to take risible, satirical or even erotic. Later in the motet began to appear and people's motives. These factors may also suggest motets prototype of the modern styles of pop performance.

However, you can not avoid people's attention and vocal singing, which is also present on the stage. As pop  vocal indeed combines many areas of song, folk motifs could not stay out of his attention. In addition, they, along with analyzed above styles that have developed mainly in urban music culture can be considered as one of the priorities.

However, the prevalence of Ukrainian folk motifs on the stage can hardly be attributed to negative factors, as they provide its unique identity, increased intentionality, colorful melodies and more. In any case, vocal performance, including pop, cause and raise a keen interest in further research and should be one of the promising areas of research, especially within the Ukrainian art history and cultural research.
