Anybody Like T-a-T-u?

[meichan]

Not that it's bad, ne? As long as they're secure in their own sexuality, it doesn't matter what the world thinks.

[eVe]

I don't like the song at all
I don't like the sound or whatelse...I don't like it +g+

[isaac hiew]

I apologize for the confuse taht I have caused, there are some logical arror at there.... hmm.....

Well of course she is not lesbian! C'mon!

*still thinking what's wrong with my fingers and my brain....*

[rainbow_momiji™]

I love tatu i love there new song! ^_^ i bought there album aswell, despite all the criticism i have heard, its wikked!

[Grantith]

Aren't they fake lesbians though? They do it just to have controversy surrounding them so that they can sell more records. Although I did sorta like "All the things she said" I think it sucks if you have to stoop that low just to sell your album.

[fossil]

i like T-a-T-u.

[appears]

apparently lena's grandmother was interviewed and she was like [what? of course my granddaughter isnt a lesbian.. shes always hang around with some boy] or something... so it probably is all marketing... it worked tho :p

[rainbow_momiji™]

yeh it worked! or maybe lena never told her granny! lol

[Grantith]

They're fake. They've said it themselves that they're not lesbians, lol. They crawl all over each other to sell more records.

[AyuTrance]

it doesn't matter when it comes to sexuality...
i think what really matters is their own happiness...if they r happy together then just let them be...
life is too short...happiness goes a long way...

but there r lots of rumours about them...Yulia is the wilder 1...having posed in Playboy..got kicked out of another group bcos she sexually harassed other members...n she often grab Lena's breast for no apparent reason...even in the middle of a photoshoot or an interview...

but there r rumours that their homosexualism is fake...it's made up to boost album sales...they were seen with their own respective boyfriend...
i'm not too sure what's the truth...i dig their music..some of them...the russian version of "not gonna get us" is nice...

[lizziemeister]

i personally thought the songs were quite fresh and interesting.. but the MV was- BLAH! lol..

[Set_0ne]

Oh well..it sold alot of albums (i guess) so the marketing plot worked..lol.
I read somewhere they have a contract which says the managers can push them about and tell them to act like lesbians. Still, it's saaad! People have to pretend something they aren't to sell music. The manager probably was a dirty old bastid anyway..lol

[Delirium-Zer0]

Their manager/producer Ivan Shapovalov IS a dirty old man and that little fact is pretty well known in Russia he was actually on the search for an act that would appeal to guys with fetishes for little schoolgirls and lesbians and tatu was the result of tryouts for that. Lena's bisexual and has a boyfriend and Yulia is VERY bisexual and extraordinarily kinky, and the two have a sisterly relationship behind the scenes, apparently. Good for them.

I first heard of them through a friend of mine who DL'd the song's video (as broadcast on MuchMusic WAAAYYY before they really hit it big)... he DL'd it cuz it was Victoria's theme on WWE (he's a big wrestling fan). Anyway, after that I was like "dude, they rock" and just downloaded EVERYTHING. They were still really obscure at the time, and I really didn't expect them to hit it big, but they did. Anyway, i have all their russian and english songs now as well as a whole lot of remixes.

I have most of their videos too, and the ones for "30 minut" (30 Minutes) and "Prostie Dvizhenia" ("Simple Movements") are NOT for young people, they're a bit risky as far as sexual content. Okay, "Prostie Dvizhenia" is REALLY risky. Likewise, even the videos for "Nas Ne Dagonjat" ("Not Gonna Get Us") and "Ya Soshla S Uma" ("All the Things She Said") had to be edited for content as well as lipsynch for the american audience. Kinda weird to watch the originals.

They have a russian song called "Doschitai Do Sta" ("Count to 100") that was really good but never got re-recorded in english, you guys should give it a DL. "Ya Tvoy Vrag" was never released in english either. "Klouny", the russian version of "Clowns", is far superior to the english version, as is "Malchik Gay" (cept there's a word in the russian version of Malchik Gay that's bleeped out and I SO want to know what they were saying there).

And did anyone else hear about when Tatu were gonna film their video in Tokyo in late june, and they got barred from doing it?[/color]

Yeah, I heard about the ordeal with filming the vid in Tokyo. If I'm not mistaken, they wanted to film in one of the big shopping areas like Akihabara, but the police put a stop to it.

As for the group itself, I first heard of them a few years ago. I was looking up info on Russian trance act PPK as they had just had a big hit with their "Resurection" track. I came across an article about them, where I saw something along the lines of "PPK, the latest musical offering from Russia since Taty" ("Taty" being the way the group's name is spelled in Cyrillic, as mentioned earlier in this thread). Wondering what sort of music this Taty group made, I checked them out. Hearing "Ya Soshla S Uma" I became even more interested. I really liked the production on the track and the vocals were quite unique, as I had never really heard Russian singing before. I looked into some more of their music. "Nas Ne Dagoniat" was another that I quite enjoyed, as the breaks in that song are fairly pimp. I ended up buying a couple of their CDs on import.

I'm not all that keen on the english release of 200 Km/H in the Wrong Lane. Trevor Horn and Co. messed with some of the production. A little for the better; more for the worse, I thought. Backing up a point Delirium made, the Russian version "Malchik Gay" is some quality eurodance in my book, but the English one is just blah.

T.A.T.U Nice but lesbi.....

[ayumi_pukka89]

i love Tatu's music...i dont mind that they're gay but they just kinda scare me w/ there makin out all the time and their nude photos....

[miruku]

their music isn't bad...it's good to have a change once in a while

[evolutionricky]

I like t.A.T.u I have their album.

[StorDuff]

It's all for publicity, you can also affirm that with the phony kiss between Madonna and Britney. Girls kissing = more sales. However, I do think some of their Russian songs (ya soshla s uma (all the things she said)) sound kind of cool. Malchik Gay, Zachem Ja, and Prostie Dvizhenija. Sorry if what I said was redundant, didn't feel like reading :p

[narusegawa]

i really like t.a.t.u! their music is really catchy and addictive. i especially like the song "not gonna get us" and "show me love".
