I kinda felt sorry for the girls in the end. They could obviously sing, and deserved better than being madly mismanaged by a rubbish russian Malcolm Maclaren wannabe...

Will they return? Who knows.

who needs singing, when you can have just the teen "lesbians"?

sexyDancer, Friday, 7 May 2004 14:22 (nineteen years ago) link

The girls both quit, after supposedly running for the russian presidency bay adding their ages together to qualify. I kinda liked their ability to create outrage, but in the end, the manager bloke just smoked too much dope and creating more ideas, but not carrying them out anymore...

Maybe they'll shock everyone one more time by continuing together quietly in a committed, long-term relationship.

Do we still have the Japanese TaTu clones though?

This saddens me, they were fun while it lasted. And we won't be seeing the incredibly gorgeous Julia much any more. :(

I thought they had one great song. Much better than anything The Foo Fighters ever did.

They had a few. "Robot" off the Russian album is great, too.

The music video for "All the Things She Said" features Yulia and Lena wearing Catholic school uniforms, singing together in the rain and snow. The two eventually kiss behind a chain fence, on the other side of which there is a crowd of onlookers. It seems like the crowd is watching these two lesbian girls who feel they are trapped within their emotions. The video ends when the girls go around the corner of the building, and off into the distance as the rain clears, revealing that the onlookers are the real captives — of ignorance.

This is ten years old, fuck

Yulia missed out on representing Russia at Eurovision this year - her duet with Dima Bilan came second in the finals, i think. She still can't really sing.

I'm going to choose to "ignore" Yulia's two pregnancies too.

boxedjoy, Friday, 16 March 2012 15:30 (twelve years ago) link

You might want to avoid the video for White Robe.

When asked during a recent TV appearance if she would "condemn" her son if he was gay, Yulia Volkova, former member of the Russian girl band t.A.T.u, shocked fans by saying that "yes," she absolutely would.

"A man must be a man," she told the host of the Ukrainian TV show "Lie Detector," as the audience cheered. Volkova added that God created man for the sake of "procreation."

The singer also appears to have said that a man has "no right to be a faggot." The slur was beeped out of video.

However, Volkova -- who became famous for openly kissing her bandmate Lena Katina on stage -- said that she'd be OK with it if her daughter was a lesbian.

"It seems to me that lesbians look aesthetically much nicer than two men holding their hands or kissing," she said on the show, according to The Independent.

Volkova told Russia's MK newspaper in 2012 that she likes both "boys and girls." As a member of t.A.T.u., she was once known for celebrating inclusion and championing LGBT rights.

"Our slogan is to love and it's not important whom to love," Volkova said in a 2006 interview, per the Independent. "We want to say that a boy can love a boy and a girl can love a girl. If all people would love each other, it would be easier to live in this world. If people are led by hatred and evil, nothing good would happen from this."

As a video of Volkova's comments went viral this week before being removed from YouTube, the 29-year-old singer was roundly slammed by many former fans.

"Good to know one of my idols is a complete homophobe, despite her and [Lena Katina] being a beacon of hope for LGBT in Russia," wrote one YouTuber Thursday after watching a clip of Volkova's comments. "I guess Yulia has become exactly what she preached against."

"I'm extremely disappointed," wrote another.

I love news reports that quote Youtube commenters. It'd be like a newspaper in the 80's writing "According to the graffiti on one local gym locker, Duran Duran sucks."

"'Zeppelin Rules,' wrote one commenter, in liquid paper on his binder."
