Some media updates on this one.
Voevodina proudly presented Katina's management side on her homepage (and yes, they might think being polite will help them): http://lena-katina.com/index.php/en/management.html
Photosessions from August 2009 in L.A.: http://lena-katina.com/index.php/en/reflections/photo/category/7-092009.html
And Katina was mentioned (was it for the first time?) at a MUZ TV (!) show about curly stars on # 11.

Please, don't double post, but edit instead. Furthermore it is not necessary to quote such a long post and writing in complete sentences is not bad either.

Do you miss some paparazzi news lately? Here we go!
Sensation! Lena Katina is acting in the Twilight-Saga!!!
The charming ex-soloist of the group Tatu appeared as a cinema actress. The cinema debut of the scandalous singer began much earlier, as far back as in Tatu times, in the movie with the name In Search Of TATU of the famous director Roland Joffe, which by the way advanced successfully in Cannes 2008. According to rumours Lena arrived by air in Vancouver, where they are now filming the third movie of the Twilight-Saga - Dawn, with her boyfriend Oleg, with whom Lena dates already for a year and tries not to make a show of her relationship. At the moment Lena is in Moscow where she determines organizing points of her solo career and the group TATU. We remind you that Lena is actively engaged in the advancement of her solo project and at the moment doesn't communicate with her colleague of the group Yuliya Volkova.
Thanks to these photographs we can just for another time be surprised about human stupidity, which states that Lena acquired excess kilograms. Indeed Lena looks brilliantly, and we are left to wait for the premiere of the movie of Lena and the take-off of her solo project.

Lena will fly back tomorrow (on Sunday) to Los Angeles to "finish the work on her album". (source: Zhenya Voevodina, Len's website).
that`s awesome! hope troy give us info soon!!
Hi from another continent! :-)
Telling you shortly how things are here. Well, for the first time in my 25-year-long life I’ve celebrated Halloween in America. I can’t say I’m now the biggest fan of it, but the whole idea of celebrating this holiday, with dressed up people of all ages with fun make-up who take or treat to candies, decorate their places with spider webs, skeletons shaking bones, ghosts and all that is very cool. But the most important is that everything’s so fun and everybody’s having a good time. The picture of me and Boris from this holiday scene enclosed.
http://lena-katina.com/images/haloween/2haloween_big.jpg
Ok, next. The work moves on, the things are being done, the songs keep coming. I won’t give you lot of information on this subject, because “don't cross the bridge till you come to it”. Right now everything goes as planned.
Today was a day off, and me and Olga took a ride to Santa Barbara. We’ve been walking the city and the seaside all day long ON FOOT!!!!! Feeling pretty proud about it :-)))) Well, that’s it for today.
Yours,
Lena
P.S. Oh, and the weather was fantastic – the sun and +20C. Heh-heh. Eat your hearts out! :-)))))) Ok, this is it. Stay tuned.Source: lena-katina.com

Thanks, Endri for posting. With that (also) very informative entry, and this is understandable, all the diary entries of tatu.ru seem to be numbered.
I find it funny that Lena dresses or better said - resembles the images of her website on Halloween.
May I say that I didn't expect that I would ever in my life see Renskij in stripes? :laugh:
About informational content - :greedy: -> :laugh:
Her eyebrows remind me of Yulia. :laugh:

It especially makes your day when you have to add Katina as her family name to be able to request her on myspace. Zhenya has way too much free-time to play around with that thingie.
Sven is back in L.A. now, so one might expect few twits from Troy soon. Who knows... but the real work might start only now.

Four hours later: Great writing session with Lena & Boris. Love the new ideas & song ! :kuli:
Troy's Facebook status(I think I wrote it correct this time:)):
Another day in the studio, more songs!
They're writing new songs, while they're supposed to finish the album.

I agree.And making new songs doesn't mean they're not working on finished songs.
They're writing new songs, while they're supposed to finish the album.
They can't finish the album with 4 or 5 songs. ;)
They can't finish the album with 4 or 5 songs. ;)
That's what I wanted to say. Obviously, they are writing new songs, because they don't have enough for the album, which means we'll have to wait at least one more year. :(

Anneke (mod on tatu.ru and Katina's forum) and Odette (also mod on tatu.ru and Katina's forum ;)) had a special day yesterday since they were having dinner with Lena, Olga, Sven and Troy in Los Angeles.
Here is her report:
Yesterday, November 16, Odette and I had a meeting with Lena, Sven, Troy and Olga. We went to have dinner with them.
We were so nervous (well I was. Lena and Olga arrived right on time and she was looking beautiful and tall on her high heels. Sven arrived only minutes later and then we sat down at the table ordering drinks and later the food, which was great by the way. We talked about a lot of things and had lots of fun. They asked about Odette and I moving in together, about our previous meetings. Of course we also informed about how their work is going. Lena told us that they have 5 songs more or less ready and they have music for many more. They're thinking about melody and lyrics now. All the songs have a different style but in the end it all comes together. She also said that she is now staying until the end of December and is then coming back to LA in January for a new session. They don't want to rush.
About going solo she said that both her and Yulia felt it was time to try something new and she wants to develop herself. She had had the idea of going solo sooner, as she worked on some songs with her father, but she didn't have enough time back then.
We also talked a bit about Yulia. She also started recording. She was planning to come back to LA at this time, but Lena said she is planning to host that Russian show (about Showbiz) and that's why she is still in Moscow. So it looks like that rumour was true after all. Lena also said that Yulia sang different songs on her birthday and that she changed the lyrics of "The skies of London" to dreaming about kissing Lena. She said Yulia is very talkative, but that's she's very kind. She was talking very sweet about her.
Everyone toasted on our birthdays and told some anekdotes about previous shows and trips. Oh and Lena ate tuna, she loves white fish and tuna.
She and the others were so kind to us the whole time, it felt like having dinner with friends. At the end Olga suggested they'd sing us Happy Birthday and Lena said okay but outside. And the good news is they allowed us to film it. We can show you guys the video on the weekend. They were so cute! And we recieved kisses and hugs!! They then invited us to Sven's house. Troy said goodbye to us at this point. We went in the car with Sven. Lena and Olga had to go pick up some things first.
We ended up all watching a weird movie together (Lost Highway). We had so much fun laughing about it and trying to figure out what it was about haha. Lena is so funny making funny comments and stuff and cute when she says "oy". After the movie (around 1AM) they called a cab for us and we said goodbye (hugs and kisses again). We had an amazing night and it's a birthday I'll never forget. In the cab we talked about the evening, still feeling dizzy from the Salmiakki (a very strong Finnish drink). We went to bed happily.
We only took two pics, one in the restaurant and one with Lena before we said goodbye.
Thank you little_polar_bear!
They don't want to rush.
Which was obvious!I hope the album will be ready for post production by 2011:D
Thanks a lot, little_polar_bear! :rose:
They're thinking about melody and lyrics now. What have they been thinking about, until now? :D

That's what I was wondering, too Argos. Well, the band has some influence now, so they (Renski) really might want to work with professionals all of a sudden. Good for Lena and too late for t.A.T.u.. Cheers!
Doesn't matter that he played some mean tricks on Renskij and the girls?
what you mean? voicot in the past?
what is proved is that independent league was not made for rensky and Company, they failed big time :(:( and martin seems that still had some little little care for what is left from what it was tAtu, vinyl vault is a prove.

all i was saying was that It would be ironic seeing how much Yulia supposedly fawns over GaGa. It's obviously going to be pop/rock. I hope she keeps the electronics in place too.
I wouldn't like it for Lena's profit.Gaga would totally overshadow her in the tour.I'd like a rock band instead.Reunited No Doubt would be awesome!
but that`s how breakthrough artist began, even if Lena has a history musically, she`s now like a new one, so GaGa may take her to places we may never thought she could tour alone, but in cherry tree there are few bands I know and certainly GaGa and lena sounds a great combo! :D of course if Cinema is the chosen Band I say GO !!
I support No doubt though:)
thanks so much for the pictures lena looks so gorgeous as always;)

Opening for a huge name is how artists start. Not many people unfortunately remember t.A.T.u, so they wouldn't know who Lena was anyway. If she tours with Gaga or No Doubt, she would have exposure so people know who she is. I would definitely love to see her tour with No Doubt.
Just amazing how speculations over girls' solo attempts will come over GaGa Lady :D
The Monster Ball Tour will end in May 2010 and Lena's album won't be ready untin late 2010. I don't think Lady GaGa will tour again before releasing a 3rd album.
late 2010? that`sa lot how you know that?
late 2010? that`sa lot how you know that?because they are still in the middle of the process of recording new songs. Lena will go back to LA in January to hopefully finish the work on her album, so...
I expected that Album by middle of the year, I suppose they were like finishing just now..:blabla:

^
Renskij is still on his postmodern/deconstruction trip, the new Russian Mini-David-Lynch. The nightmare isn't over yet. Actually it's really funny to watch Borya in action, but unfortunately he is on the best way to destroy the rest of Lena's reputation with his artsy brain-f*ck. Anyway, sooner or later she'll find her fairy prince, raise up some children and hopefully have a good laugh thinking back at his desperate attempts in nihilo-art-pop with her as his willing victim.

Ivan_de_Palma had an interview with Troy recently and I found the news on tatu.ru only now. The summary of the summary concerning Lena Katina's project:
Lena and the band's project will be called (not very surprising) Lena Katina,
well well... poor guys...
Lena must have returned to Moscow already last weekend.
They have recorded almost seven songs.
At the moment they don't plan to release anything.
Troy's voice was used as back vocals in one song.
They don't have a label yet.
They are planning shows...
We shouldn't forget that Troy was interviewed, because he is at times overly excited for something that doesn't necessarily happen at all. ;)
little_polar_bear
29-12-2009, 20:24
Katina is a featured member on Cherrytree Record's website. Other artists that are presented there do have a connection to Kierszenbaum's record company. So, Lena's recent chat with him wasn't worthless as it seems. EDIT: She is a featured member and not artist yet, so acutally it doesn't mean so much...
Since you have to be signed in, to see this page, r0ckstarr03 was kind enough to save a screenshot:
http://i48.tinypic.com/121c3r6.png
Thanks to andruska for a screenshot of Lena's profile on Cherrytree: http://i47.tinypic.com/2elt9qx.png
This is not a proof, but at least a hint she'll do more with/for Martin than just joining a chat session to talk about t.A.T.u.. Maybe!
Well I hope can sign with a good company and can release without problems her album, she is working hard in this album. This company is the record label of Lady Gaga? or at least she worked with them.
little_polar_bear
30-12-2009, 15:52
Yeah, GaGa is/was with Kierszenbaum's label. I'm not updated though.
Another recent pic with Lena, must have been at the end of November in Sven's studio together with an Australian friend of Troy:

She was there to support Troy, who was performing with a friend of his ... she was the only one standing, clapping, dancing around, yelling like a true fan... in her awkward ways... and let me tell you that she was the only one in the whole venue/bar doing that haha. of course no one in usa knows who she is... except some blonde german fan who was taking pictures with her/them
Haha,good that she had fun :D

Haha, that sounds kind of cute. To think this girl sang this world wide hit, and years later, she's found in a gig being the random girl cheering and screaming. :p Shows she's being a supportive friend. I'd do the same thing regardless if I looked insane.
On another subject, Lena needs to utilize her right side of the mind more! I would respect her as a singer so much more if she would be willing to write or compose her songs. I want to see/hear what she could come up with. You can discover so much from a person by what their own mind creates. I suppose she agrees and feels with "some" of the songs written for her that she sang in Tatu, but it'd be nice to hear what her personal imagination could produce.
She's spent most her life in a musical world, and (apparently) plays piano and writes poetry, so she has to be somewhat capable to create an original melody in her head.

What the fuck does Lady GaGa have to do with any of this? It's really stupid that I can't say one thing without anybody pulling GaGa into the spectrum because I will OWN you. It's a completely separate issue, and two that should not be compared since there are no similarities. T.A. Music is once again going to be the downfall of something else. And don't talk to me about patience, I, like you - sat and waited for D&M as well as VU and now for Lena.
You should know better than me,Lady GaGa released an EP,which was an epic fail then managed to get record company and totally took 2 years to make The Fame.Lena's recordings will finish in April and it's not a year,looking at when they started for Lena.Come on,own me :D

I know better than you that her EP is what got her signed to Def Jam.
My point is that we've heard nothing. Absolutely nothing. Also, not to be rude - but space after you punctuate, it's confusing to read.
Talyubittu, she is recording an album, starting a new project, that isn't easy, that take time. And you will not hear nothing until they release the first single. They're trying do their best work.

But her EP was not what made a single ordinary person know about her.And that is called a flop, get over it!
When do you want to hear the songs?As soon as the songs are done?They're in a working process, and it takes time, if you want to do something proper. Even for Lady GaGa. Did you hear anything about The Fame Monster before the release(or leak) of the album?

The EP was actually not even released due to Def Jam dropping multiple acts after recording music - that's not a flop, it's a record lable decision. Her EP is irrelevent anyways, Lena has material that people know - and still nobody will sign her. I'm pretty sure that TFM was recorded and released shortly after TF was - unlike Lena's album with VU, so what is your comparison here? I don't see you making any progress with your argument. Do not attempt to debate me on this, you will fail as you currently are.

We don't even know song titles from Lena's album or the type of music it is. - And yes, we did actually. Both "Bad Romance" and "Alejandro" were heard before the album - as well as the titles of other tracks. Since you're so keen on bringing GaGa up in comparison (since I didn't?) - TFM was recorded ON THE ROAD in various countries in under a year - Lena has had her ass stationary with the same group of song writers and producers - don't feed me the "time" bullshit story.
Talyubittu, she is recording an album, starting a new project, that isn't easy, that take time. And you will not hear nothing until they release the first single. They're trying do their best work.
As wonderful as that is, we know nothing about the project - nothing about her music, but she seems to have time to go see Troy play gigs and to go to Halloween parties. What the fuck much? - She's had a year to work, and she has a production team and a manager - it's not like she's hunting on her own in the middle of downtown L.A. - I just wish that SOME news would appear eventually. Her epic storybook of nothing has achieved zero interest in my department.
Well in that point is true, they could starting releasing some clues about this album.

Although they haven't said anything officially yet, a fan (Flo) did meet Lena, Sven and Troy at a gig Troy did at The Mint in LA and posted a report on tatu.ru which included this:
About the Project:
- They'll be in Los Angeles until April, then Lena's coming back to Moscow for a few weeks, then back to LA for the last and final session
- The music will sound way more mature than t.A.T.u.'s
- The music won't be too electronic
- English songs; Spanish and/or Russian songs are possible
- 5-6 songs are almost done, another 5-6 songs are in process
That's all I can say, there's no other news of the recording process and the project they told me. ; )
The whole thing is here (http://www.tatu.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28973&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=3340) It's the 7th post on the page.

Right. Fans shouldn't have to reply on accidentally bumping into them in public for news. Her site could be updated with progress? Why else is the damn thing up already? Why is she singing in Spanish I also inquire? She can hardly handle English. She doesn't even speak Spanish. And I'm not sure what "more mature" means. Perhaps the absence of bunnies and squirrels?
Oh yes mulder, I mean official report in her website :)

I appreciate both Lena and GaGa (in different ways) but it's absolutely impossible for me to deny the work Lady GaGa has done. Lady GaGa's a performer since she was a kid, creative writer from power ballads to pop songs, expressing herself from her voice to her clothes to her theatrics. Lena's a pretty girl with a decent voice trying to survive a questionable management. There's not much point comparing them. And that EP was from when she was a teenager. At least she made an ep by herself, not that it's relevant. XD
And to this day, I still have no idea where people saw a Lady Gaga in Yulia. Whaat?
We all know I stopped expecting stuff from anyone a part of Tatu a long time ago. :p I never even realized how long it's been. It's not that I'm spiteful of Lena and Yulia, and I realize it's ridiculous how long it's been, but I stopped anticipating.
... And singing in Spanish? That's really random, but I guess it's fan service, if it's just one "special" song. I think Lena's English is pretty good for the most part. Avril Lavigne did multiple (hilarious) versions of "Girlfriend" in different languages any way.
That's really cool the fan got to meet them so casually though. I suppose that's one positive in fading out of the lime light. The way it's worded makes him seem like a stalker though.

Something like this happened to t.A.T.u. and you were here saying this is an epic fail.

Something like this happened to Tatu and you were around here saying that was an epic fail.Well, so objective :)
And I did not compare Lady GaGa with Lena,I just gave a simple f*cking example :)
TFM was recorded ON THE ROAD in various countries in under a year
The thing you should know is Lena did not work for the solo project during the whole year, but worked as some monthly periods. It makes the process will be more than you expect.
Oh yes mulder, I mean official report in her website
Oh, I agree. It would be nice if they updated more than once in a blue moon :rolleyes:
Talyubittu Calm down :) It takes time to record an album. Lena and the band are writing songs from scratch, rehearsing and recording them then doing the post production and mixing. They've only being doing this for about a year, in short bursts as Lena goes back and forth between Moscow and LA. They want the finished product to be the best they can make it, and I, for one, am prepared to give them all the time they want. I'd sooner have a good album later, than an average one now.
- The music will sound way more mature than t.A.T.u.'s
:confused: Does that mean Vu/WM is infantile? :p Ok, I don't want to argue with Borya and the others about their own perception of their own work...:blabla: although...fighting against roots is so much more mature than ... let's say bunnies on the wall, brains on the door or reassembling pieces of little people.
About the time required for the album: We are not talking about mincing an album together in weeks, the argument that a good work needs time doesn't really suit for me in this case, they have already played around for a year. It's not necessary to begin a solo career with an album release anyway, which most probably only a handful of fans will buy. Gigs, videos, public appearances of any kind, that's the first thing to do. It looks as if there is no song so far good enough to release as a radio single.
True enough, but there's no point doing gigs until they have some of their own songs to showcase. It won't create a good impression, if their show consists mostly of old Tatu songs or covers.
Releasing a single is fine, but they need to get an album out shortly after. Too long a gap and the momentum is lost.
At present, time is on Lena's side, as apart from a few fans in the know, no-one else is expecting anything from her. Normally, when a band splits up people are expecting the various members to release something quite quickly. In Lena's case, most of the world doesn't know, or care, that Tatu are no more. Lena has a rare opportunity to start at the beginning as a new artist, but still be able to call on a backlog of songs until she has enough of her own.

Are you retarded? NOTHING like that happened to t.A.T.u. - they finished an album and STILL WERE NOT SIGNED. That's a far cry from having an EP, getting signed and then being dropped to due label budgeting complications.
The thing you should know is Lena did not work for the solo project during the whole year, but worked as some monthly periods. It makes the process will be more than you expect.
The point is that we still knowing nothing about the album or what's going on despite her official site being up already. The only information we ever get is when some super fan happens to stalk them at a club.

I'm aware that it takes time to record an album - but Lena has no reason to flip flop back and forth between Moscow and L.A. when she's supposed to be working. Neither of these girls have ever had a vigorous schedule ever, yet they both bitch and moan about everything like the divas they are. I'd rather have a professional team managing an "OK" band than T.A. Music manage Lena if she's really as good as everyone thinks.

Alas. This is why I love you. Once again the only goal is to complete their finished product with their finished image without considering the fact that there are no fans, no shows, and no quality material.

Mulder, if they don't have ANY quality music to showcase after an entire year together, then what the fuck are they doing with their time? - They have plenty of material to put a show on with. And no, time is not on Lena's side. Most of the world does not know or care about t.A.T.u. anymore - the same with Lena. That's why nobody recognizes her when she runs around in public when she should be working. Lena has the rare opportunity of failing not only once in a group, but as a solo act as well - that's the only thing special going on here. Because T.A. Music is a giant production house full of nothing but idiots who openly insult fans and spend time doing the dumbest shit possible in the name of their artists.
Neither of these girls have ever had a vigorous schedule ever,

OT: Uhm, excuse me? I was certainly not stalking them at this club?! :rolleyes: Troy gave a small gig there, I didn't even have the slightest idea that Lena and the others were also coming around. And since they (=Lena, Sven, Boris, Olga) weren't even sure a couple of hours before the gig if they should have come to see his performance I don't get why I should have stalked them? I really can't understand this blame. And if you were talking in general: The same goes to other fans who met them in Los Angeles. They absolutely weren't stalking them?

The common thing is that they both failed and never got enough public attention to their works, Lady Gaga even couldn't manage to release it then, but thanks to its prevous popularity Tatu was able to do it with their independent label.That's what was different then.I am not talking about the current situation.

Correction, Def Jams decision isn't a "FAILURE" on GaGa's part, because it's the exact same material that got her signed to Interscope and spawned the release of five number one debut singles, a sold out world tour and friends in places t.A.T.u. can only dream about. You'd think that being on their third album would mean they'd have something like this going on - but alas, they do not. t.A.T.u. are the only ones who have failed anything in this discussion. The current situation is the exact same as the situation where VU was released. NOBODY would pick it up so they just decided to indepdendently sell it locally. That's not a success, nor an achievement. Anybody can do that. They had their chance before they fucked their contract with Interscope and Universal over. That was the biggest lol wut fail I've ever seen, EVER, EVER, EVER.
And no, I don't want to have a common idea because there isn't one. You brought GaGa up when she had nothing to do with this thread and now you're eating your words because of it. The only problem here is that people still support both of these windbag girls like they're talented. I have seen zero creativity and zero talent from either girl. Ever. If you don't want me to "dictate" what I "know" - then don't start a discussion with me, especially when you don't even have correct information or an understanding of how music business works.
don't start a discussion with me
I did not start the discussion, just wrote what I felt.You were the one who made this into an argument with your provocative expressions and bold fonts. It was an argument because discussions are made for having common ideas.You said it yourself that you didn't want to do that.
We all knew how ex-t.AT.u. team works and you should've known that. Everything is in order and it's not a failure for them right now.

But how you loved that "windbag girls" This mean that you was a fan of a project with zero creativity for years.
Correction. I still listen to t.A.T.u. and like the music, but I'm hardly a fan of Yulia or Lena at this point in their lives. Neither one of them have any sense of being professional or artistically inclined. The only creativity in the group came from people like Kierszenbaum, Goloyan, Polienko and Voitinskiy. I'm still a fan of that work.
Talyubittu is so right about Yulia and Lena, sadly. Miss the good old days. :(
-Wow, my join date is so intense, and I had a screenname on here even before that one... I wish there were artists nowadays that made me feel like I did when Tatu were kind of 'in'. I'm intent on producing a group some day that will resurrect these feelings!

Despite his constant bitching Talyubittu is still an EXTREMELY devoted tatu-fan.

At least the day after that was apparently "bitchin and kickass'".
Note the difference between bitching and bitchin'.
I know every work place has it's days where everyone wants to kill each other (any person in theatre would know), but I'm kind of interested in this studio drama that Troy publicly tweeted about.

BAHAHAHAHA. 1:00 - the rest of the song. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CocB2XMUVqk) LOL. I cringe every time Lena sings the bridge live. It sounds so horrid. :bum:
Yulia can't sing to save her life. She sounds like an elk live. She couldn't even stay on pitch in the studio recording of "Sparks". And if you really want to get into the validity argument, do it. Just an F.Y.I. - actual facts and supporting material helps in a discussion. The fact that you worship Yulia has zero importance.

Oh my, I have become an old granny.

I'd like to apologize again though, I had a crappy day and drew some wrong conclusions without checking better. I was just worried that besides the bitching we'd become a place without respected sources and info - just to keep up to the tradition. The only thing that got on my nerve was and I have told it to Tim already some weeks ago that he is swearing so much lately. I appreciate his opinion, but the left users might not be tempted to come back if they read f-words all over the place. We should give both girls the time they need to finish whatever and then see and talk about results. I don't see much for t.A.T.u. in the nearest future though. (Nothing heard about the movie which was said to hit Russian theatres this spring...). I thought we had learned by now to be patient...

I was just worried that besides the bitching we'd become a place without respected sources and info - just to keep up to the tradition. The only thing that got on my nerve was and I have told it to Tim already some weeks ago that he is swearing so much lately. I appreciate his opinion, but the left users might not be tempted to come back if they read f-words all over the place. We should give both girls the time they need to finish whatever and then see and talk about results. I don't see much for t.A.T.u. in the nearest future though. (Nothing heard about the movie which was said to hit Russian theatres this spring...). I thought we had learned by now to be patient...
t.A.T.u. WAS about not giving a FUCK. It's things like this that bother me. This censoring shit is annoying. As long as I'm not referring to a member as a complete fucktard or something else, I don't see the big deal. It's not like "FUCK" isn't coming out of Yulia's mouth 24/7 or in their music.
And yes. I stay current with everything. "People who do not know, but run their traps, find themselves in uncomfy gaps." Meow. :)

Okay, cool 'cos I'm only a tiny mod here and I won't do anything as I said - it's just those bad vibes you know ;) And I'm very pleased that you express t.A.T.u.'s philosophy in big letters since you didn't find it refreshing a few days ago. I'm just kidding. So long! :)

Great news!A career is starting!

To me, since anything "tatu" related is such a rarity - especially in my area, I'd probably be really excited to actually set foot anywhere near them, despite their Tatu downfall. Only because of how surprising that would be. Please blow us away, Lena! Or at least, the band that's helping her even release a mist.

We contacted PrideFest's entertainment director, David Charpentier, and he stated:
This is going to be a very special/exclusive concert. She will be performing her brand new material from the new album live for the first time ever, we are expecting huge turn out and media coverage from all over the world. And she will also be performing her biggest t.A.T.u. hits. It's really going to be an amazing show --- a full length concert. Tickets are on sale now, and we will also be releasing special VIP tickets soon specifically for the Lena Katina show.
That seems to be very good!

tatu.ru also put up a lovely link to pridefest.com (next to Lena's website). Aha...
Lena is supposed to sing one hour, so she might sing more than just two or three t.A.T.u. songs. We'll see... To start and end the show with more "famous" songs would simply be an easier way than starting with probably still very unknown material. Maybe they'll also use this occasion to test the reaction of the audience what "not-sure" songs to include on her album.

HAHAHA.
When I first heard of this , I was expecting Lena to do about half an hour with just Troy and Sven providing acoustic backing, so I am surprised that she is doing a full one hour show. I hope she doesn't do too many Tatu songs, as the whole idea is to showcase Lena the solo singer. I would think 6-7 new songs, a couple of covers, and 2-3 Tatu songs would be the right mix.
The question, of course, is which Tatu songs? ATTSS to finish is obvious. I would think 30 minutes would be good, as although not generally well known, it would be easy to sing solo. I would hope she does not choose to try doing NGGU, as that requires a lot of audience participation and if they don't respond as expected, she will be in a very embarrassing position.
I shall look forward to the reviews, and maybe some video or audio, in due course.

In that case it's always good we keep each other entertained with misunderstandings. Tim is a bit too excited maybe to see Lena in action, so his response came like a little outcry :).
To come back to the topic: I hope it's gonna be a success. Lena has sung solo before and I'm sure the band will give their best to support her. It's a classy occasion, so we'll see - should be fun.

YES! I was so happy to see I wasn't the only one associating "You crossed the line, Domen!" with ATTSS, aww! And he is always so gorgeous.
Lena seemed still pretty shy and she was playing the piano - so there is hope the singing will get much better.
Sounds good for a starter:)

31-03-2010, 21:54
I was actually quite pleased with that video! The song sounds pretty. I'm so glad it's actually Lena playing the piano, as I can give her some actual musician credit for that. Plus, considering it's her raw voice and she's playing and singing at the same time, her singing isn't too bad... This is assuming if she hasn't played piano and sang at the same time very often. It's not that easy sometimes, and I haven't mastered the skill yet either. :p Hopefully she can "master" that, and make her voice sound stronger.
I think the problem with her voice most of the time is that she doesn't really know how to project or belt. She relies on head voice and sometimes ends up sounding too "cutesy". Granted, I have the same problem with my singing, but I'm not expecting a career anytime soon. XD
^
Completely agreed. It seems that she is not used to talk loudly or sing with force, as if she only exercised singing in her flat in the thin-walled 23 story concrete slabs silo and psst - don't make noise. so that the neighbours might call the police. The song has potential, but sung this way - :no:

Well, it's cute. Like others sad, she needs to get a little louder, but the singing is not bad overrall. It's indeed better than with t.A.T.u.; I mean, I haven't heard Lena singing at an OK rate for a.G.E.s.! :p
The melody is beautiful. The lyrics are blah, nothing new there. And about the arrangement: it's not the final version, so I'll expect more instruments in this one. And a little bit more of vocal changes. x)
Lyrics (maybe)
Don't know how it happened to us, but we're here again
The odds are stacked, we have to believe there's time
With the sun going down, we had buildings around, It's like a tomb
I'm not giving up till I find what I'm looking for tonight
You and I must find each other
Even if I'm blind from glaring lights
Even if it takes all night
Lost in love with you
Do you know the way that I should turn
Do you know that I have learned
Lost in this dance with you
Making my way through the city streets
They're so rushed and loud
Passer-by's that resemble your face decieve
Pull your picture from my pocket to remind myself no need for clues
I keep on searching, it's you that I'm looking for tonight
You and I must find each other
Even if I'm blind from glaring lights
Even if it takes some all night
Lost in love with you
Do you know the way that I should turn
Do you know that I have learned
I can see that you can see our love that can't compare
Really isn't fair after all
Even if I'm blind from glaring lights
Even if it takes all night
Lost in love with you
Do you know the way that I should turn
Do you know that I have learned
Lost in love with you
Looking up and down and all around
Looking for what can't be found
Lost in love with you
Shaddows on the wall appear to be
But shaddows are never what they seemed
Lost in this dance with you
It's not a song that will go down in music history but it's perfectly suitable for the radio. I really like it that she at least try to play an instrument while singing. Everyone who are complaining about her voice should try it, it's not that easy and requires a lot of practice or great talent.

I think this is one of the best she has done since her career. And sure, she needs to improve her singing, but she doesnt need to belt or something like that. Fragile vocals can be very controlled aswell

The song is pretty but not for a first single...Lena, you surprise me, thanks!
I'm surprised that you say this. It's a good sign, right?
No, that was my April fool's joke, hehe!
Of course, no complaints about the song - good harmonies and melody, much better for a singer than many songs of the third tatu album, although it lacks some big hook. But I think the Katina project won't aim much at some simple minded mainstream folk (you know, something like "Gaa-gaa, hullallaa-a"). The problem is the interpretation. Take a deep breath and show off! Better be loud and full of self-confidence (and sometimes sounding false - see Alexander Rybak) than be unassertive, almost timid (especially in an almost private demo session). Lena's voice has an amazing timbre, but it can't show it's potential this way.
Everyone who are complaining about her voice should try it, it's not that easy and requires a lot of practice or great talent.
We are talking about somebody, who does this as her sole profession, right? I mean, she doesn't study medical science or has a job as chief editor of "Vogue Russia" and sings for fun in her leisure time. I expect practice and talent. I would be disappointed to learn that Lena in her mid twenties just begins to work on her skills.

24-04-2010, 05:01
Now that I stop to think about it, lyrics apart the Lena's Rehearsal song is reall good. I mean, the lyrics are not the worst ever, but they're very much "I've-heard-it-before". Thank God it's nothing like t.A.T.u.'s (Running Blind, maybe).
The singing is OK, for a non-recorded version, the melody changes though the song, it's not the simplest ever; I mean, congratulations to team Lena. I'm hoping this song is the worst of her album (being not-so-bad) and that she keeps on working on her voice; when you realize other songs who can't really sing well do fine, you can see Lena'a able to do it, too. She should work on her presence @ stage, too; be more ferral, agressive -- even if she's kind at the same time.
Just random thoughts. x)

Hello my dears!!!
What can I tell you?
I returned to Los Angeles to get ready for the shows on May 30th and June 12th!!!
Sooooo many things need to be done – my head is spinning!!! I don’t know where to start!!! And we’re running out of time!!! From Monday I’m again working with vocal coach, rehearsing with guys, recording songs… It would be nice to write some new music as well.
I have such cool guys working with me!!! They became my second family!!!! I’m so lucky to have such musicians!!!! Yup!!!! And I’m in such a fantastic mood right now!!! I so want to have great performances!!!
I’m already getting nervous!!! :-)
It’s just my emotions going off scale!!!
I hope you all are doing good too!!! The spring is here!!!
Horeeeeeey!!! :-)
Kisses!!!
Lenka!!!
I love this entry! Looks like she's really into this thang. Liked the vocal coach part... Honesty gives her an extra star! :p

This is not big news and since I'm not following this project too much, I have not a clue if it can be considered news to some of you at all, but one of the musicians said to me that Lena has now much more responsibility :D At least this Facebook status update of her "official"-(and also run by Zhenya)-page is from Katina herself and therefore quite funny indeed:
A-a-a-a-a-a!!! I guess just two persons are coming to my Troubadour show on May 30th: Boris and Olga! HELP!!!!

Well, Boris at least could drag his kids there, couldn't he?
I'm not sure though if Katina herself is also responsible for uploading those old pix from her website all of a sudden and the videos with the guys.

I understood 0% of that.
Ahahaha blame it on the coctails & the iPhone.... I wll just repeat that the girl is in a desperate need of a stylist.... Her outfit was horrible.
They invited perez hilton to the show, but i dont think he made it.... Some other celebs did though ;)

I fucking love the rock version of "Fly on the Wall". I hope they record it. And "Stay" is awesome, too. This project is shaping up nicely.

Watching ATTSS with just Lena made me sad.
