Tatu's official website is back online! ******** It hasn't really changed, at least not yet. The only thing that's different is the news and the stuff about the reality show. They explain more about the new tatu reality show. It also has news about a concert on Dec. 18 in St. Petersburg, Russia if that wasn't already common knowledge. Hopefully one of the Russian/English speaking forum members can fill us in.

nasnedagoniat, very cool, thanks for letting us know!

I tried to read the Reality Show info with help of Babelfish, and wow! it sounds really interesting! And brave, if I may say so, letting the whole world watch the creative process in such detail... But good for us, I guess. :cool:

There's also more info on the Tokyo Dome concerts, and I SO WANNA BE THERE! :yes: If I read it correctly, a DVD/video of the highlights will be released after the World Tour concerts?!

And wow... The St. Petersburg concert hall can house 30,000 people... Another big event coming up, I guess. :done:

It's really great to read all that. :)

Reality Show with t.A.T.u.
Group t.A.T.u. starts to work with their new album in the beginning of December. Ivan Shapovalov announced earlier this year that the process of recording would be turned into a reality show. A few cameras will be set on around the clock in the studio Sky Room which is located on the 13th floor of the Pekin Hotel in Moscow. Several TV channels will broadcast the sessions simultaneously. The main peculiarity of the album is that the songs written by absolutely unknown to public songwriters. Anyone can become a songwriter on the condition that this person is able to create a world hit.

During this reality show the singers of t.A.T.u. together with their producer will be evaluating and choosing the best compositions sent to them. You may contribute with a composition to the address: Ivan Shapovalov/t.A.T.u., Podnebesnaya, 123001 Moscow.

The reality show will be broadcasted by CTC channel during 2004.

...and it sounds like they've run out of ideas and now it's up to the people. oh well. i think it sounds neat. :)

More Insight

Rumor has it that Shapovalov got the idea of making this reality show to earn enough money to release Tatu's next album, since he blew all Tatu's savings on his other projects: "7B" and Katya Nechaeva, as well as had a huge fight with Universal about the constant delays of the new album release date.

nasnedagoniat
29-11-2003, 02:10
That's exactly what I was thinking, since the producers now-a-days control all of the money an artist makes. :rolleyes:It was so much better when the record company actually recieved the money from album sales and distributed it to everyone who had something to do with the project, the little that they did distribute after all of the expenses were paid. :ithink:

Here is my promised translation of the official news article. Suprisingly it ommits a few detail mentioned by dni.ru. Anyway, enjoy :)
________________________________________________

t.A.T.u.: Reality Show - official news from www.tatu.ru

The recording of the new t.A.T.u. album as a reality show.
Lena Katina, Yulia Volkova and their producer Ivan Shapovalov will be working on their second album in "Podnebesnaya" (Under-the-sky). This new and now permanent residence of "Neformat" is a specially equipped 13th floor of "Peking" hotel in the center of Moscow. Apart from the cutting edge musical and recording equipment, the place will be equipped with online streaming cameras, which will allow millions of viewers to observe everything that takes place in “Podnebesnaya” in real time mode. Moreover, 4 cameras will be placed outside facing North, West, East, and South. It has been arranged with the channel transmitting the show that live 45 minute broadcasts will take place up to the release date of the album. Thus, the process of recording of the new t.A.T.u. album will become a series of live TV programs unified by a single idea. Up to now, there has not been a single musician who would willingly show the whole process of song creation, not to mention the private moments related to it, to the world. The viewers will have a chance to get familiar with the new songs long before the release date of the album. As a rule, the artistic process is hidden from other up to the release of a finished product. Recording their new album, t.A.T.u. will do exactly the opposite. You may witness their artistic crisis or inspirations, and, maybe, you will find out something incredible about the lives of the girls by simply observing what they do on their own, for example… The main peculiarities are the artistic process, the unpredictability and the absence of any script! The viewers will see Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova just as they are. Up to now, all the information about the girls has always been delivered through the third parties: tv programs, photo sessions, interviews, etc. Now it will be a direct contact – one on one with the audience. They will certainly know that they are being watched – but now always when. The two girls are ready to show practically every aspect of their artistic lives, inner world, and relationships with others. This is yet another attempt to see love, yet another attempt to show it.

since he blew all Tatu's savings on his other projects: "7B" and Katya Nechaeva
Hehe, doesn't sound very realistic considering how many albums they've sold. He would probably be able to start up 200 t.A.T.u.'s and still have some money left. Oh well , if you trust all the rumors, then I suppose Lena is 9 month pregnant now :p

29-11-2003, 15:48
Thanks very much elf. Sounds like it will be a great show. I feel nervous for the girls though. I've never really seen a live and unedited "making the album" type show. It sounds scary and exciting at the same time.

forre
29-11-2003, 16:52
The reality show is certainly a cool idea but what I find worth of attention too is the fact that it points to further delays in the album release. First he says the material has been already recorded and now he'll be choosing the compositions! Okay, let's say they'll be choosing and choosing and then recording and then mixing and mastering and then the record company needs some time to produce the CD .... So when are we going to hear the Russian version? Just make a wild guess who dares because I don't. That's a little bit confusing.

spyretto
29-11-2003, 23:52
Their future is not really that great if they're hoping that the fans will come up with the material for the next album. What an embarassment :bebebe:

Rumor has it that Shapovalov got the idea of making this reality show to earn enough money to release Tatu's next album, since he blew all Tatu's savings on his other projects: "7B" and Katya Nechaeva, as well as had a huge fight with Universal about the constant delays of the new album release date.

Well, at least he's trying to do something. I think that effectively, the international career of Tatu is certainly over..now they're trying to earn as much money as possible out of their last grains of popularity.

Although...in Russia things may be different , I have a feeling that Tatu will concentate their careers there. For how long, I don't know, I'm not familiar with how Russian showbusiness works.
That's what I think and I'm not saying so because I don't like Tatu. I'm a fan of the album and the girls. But things are becoming clearer now..that "Nichya" song is a desperate attempt to capture some of their former glory to no avail. Tatu are almost finished internationally and will take a miracle to have another hit. As for Japan, well, their popularity will wear out sooner or later. Without new material there's no future for Tatu. No matter how many stunts Shapovalov pulls.

There was always that possibility...I don't know how they came up with the first album anyway, may have been one brilliant moment that happens once in a lifetime. But Tatu as a musical band - not as a project - is a complete joke. They're virtually non-existent.
Great project, not much left as ideas are running out, I'm afraid.

I can't see how things can kickstart, I really can't. :( Here, Tatu are treated as part of history, already.

nasnedagoniat
30-11-2003, 00:59
Well, what exactly was Nichya, besides a failed attempt. Where did it come from? Just like forre, I'm confused. Several people from Tatu camp said that the album was nearing completion and now this. What happened to those songs? What happened to the songs produced by Mars Lasar? There's proof that he produced a few tracks on the infamous 2nd album. Unless he is also a liar.

The only logical sense that can be made out of this, happens to be very illogical. A surprise! Tatu will release two Russian albums instead of one. The first album will have the songs that were said to be complete, and the second will have the songs from the reality show. More money for Ivan, more entertainment for us. Another scenario is that the reality show is not going to be that real. The songs are already chosen and recorded and Tatu will only act as if they are choosing and recording songs. Making all of us view the songs as something they are not.:ithink:

Good point. The recording process has been really annoying. First it's "we are working on it" then "the songs are written but not recorded" then "we are writing the songs now" to "ummmm.... TV show!!!" I don't get it.

The only logical sense that can be made out of this, happens to be very illogical.

Ivan and his genius ways. All of Tatu's mistakes have painted them into a corner. They have to work hard if they want to keep up. No new music = no future

I think the TV show is a great idea... if it had been done a year ago.

I checked the site and couldn't find it.

It's this part of the dni.ru article I couldn't find on tatu. ru: "During this reality show the singers of t.A.T.u. together with their producer will be evaluating and choosing the best compositions sent to them. You may contribute with a composition to the address:..."

Thanks.

By the way, nowhere in the dni.ru article does it say that the songs for the album haven't been chosen yet. The dni.ru article only claims that everyone can send in a composition and that they'd be choosing and evaluating the best one/ones during the reality show. Nowhere does it say that they will be recording this song/these songs for this album. But who knows? Maybe someone sends in a real gem of a song, and they do decide to record it. Who knows? ;)

Their English section of their site is down or not working at all.


But in the Russian page of their site you find this text,

which, by the use of a dodgy translator, translates like that:


. A.T.u.: realiti-show

spyretto, elf already translated this page (and the more extensive info on the next page as well). His translation is on page 1 of this thread. But where does it say that people can send in compositions which will be chosen and evaluated during the reality show? dni.ru added this info, but it's not on tatu. ru - that was my question. :)

xena225

spyretto
01-12-2003, 21:26
Then why did you ask where is the article? I think that particular info - about picking the best songs and including them in the album - exists somewhere, maybe on this site.

Well, this is what tatysite.net writes but doesn't it imply that you can be the songwriter of the next Tatu hit?


t.A.T.u. starts to work with their new album in the beginning of December. Ivan Shapovalov announced earlier this year that the process of recording would be turned into a reality show. A few cameras will be set on around the clock in the studio Sky Room which is located on the 13th floor of the Pekin Hotel in Moscow. Several TV channels will broadcast the sessions simultaneously.

I think it was a misunderstanding. When elf wrote: "This info has not been officially confirmed and the only sourse of infromation comes from the infamous "Lena-pregnant" dni.ru", he was actually replying to my question where the specific dni.ru info that people can send in compositions which will be chosen and evaluated by Ivan, Lena and Yulia during the reality show came from. Apparently it's not on tatu. ru, so where does the info come from? That's all I was asking. :)

Some here were also implying - because of that dni.ru info - that possibly the songs for the album haven't been chosen yet. In my opinion the article doesn't say so at all, but that's another discussion. *shrugs* :)

spyretto
01-12-2003, 21:48
yes, I think I didn't get you...but what do you think about that?

It reads as if it's posted by Neformat. They have the address where you can send your compositions. I don't think that dni.ru people made it from the top of their heads.

Some here were also implying - because of that dni.ru info - that possibly the songs for the album haven't been chosen yet. In my opinion the article doesn't say so at all, but that's another discussion. *shrugs*

I haven't got the slightest clue. You may well remember Tatu's press conference at the beginning of the year where Shapovalov was saying that the album is ready, let alone that the songs were chosen...beginning of the year... :bum:

I was suprised too about the start recording from december, as I knew they started from november. And about this reality show I hope it will be a transmission only once per week, not every day. In this case I think it's a good idea, to know about the advances of the recording. And maybe this reality show is the price for that new equippment. The idea of sending songs to their headquarter looks as if they lack compositions, or ideas, but maybe will prove to be a good idea. Malchik-gey was made like that, as I remeber ... Ha, everyone is concerned about the future of Tatu, but looking to their 2 last songs I see they improved their music ... and one song every 6 month is a good rithm ... in 2002 didn't they released "Klouny" and "Prostye Dvizhenya" ? ... Now, because of their continuous promotional campaigns 2003 was lost, but 2004, the beginning, at least, seems to be more peacefull, so, maybe in 2-3 months we'll have that album ready.

Lady: The girls are supposed to do all the house work, they are not supposed to play and waste time, not supposed to freely walk outside their home. Besides obidience, the girls are supposed to follow everything they are told to do. It is generally undesired for the girls to be seen.
Man: From 17th of January, "Tatu in the Sky Room" on STS!

TATU2
Man: On 17th of January...
Lady: The girls are not allowed to show their emotions from the moment they are born. They are not to show their teeth while laughing, to drop tears while crying. They are not to walk too fast, let alone to run. They are not to talk laudly, not to mention scream. The girls are not to draw any attention to themselves...
Man: From 17th of January, "Tatu in the Sky Room" on STS!

TATU3
Man: On 17th of January...
Lady: The girls are not allowed to sing and dance in public. Their music is only for the ears of their future husband. They are not to sing laudly with a wide open mouth. While dancing the girls are not to wave their hands and legs. If a girl cannot manage the house work, all art practices should be excluded.
Man: From 17th of January, "Tatu in the Sky Room" on STS!

TATU4
Man: On 17th of January...
Lady: The best quality in girls is obidience. The girls are forbiden to show their physical strength. They are not allowed to practice the art of fighting or to handle weapons. When the girls are being beaten, they are not to cry or to show their pain.
Man: From 17th of January, "Tatu in the Sky Room" on STS!

Because the room in the hotel they're using as a studio is called 'The Peking Room" isn't it, (or is it the hotel itself?). Plus I think it'll play well to the Japanese audience, if they're aiming at it being aired there. I think it's a good promo. Girl Power Mark 2!:done:

transcend, Ummo, i wasn't really all that curious about the Chinese thing, just being feciouscious [woo-hoo! spelled wrong], i guess.... and If it was aimed at the Japanese, why would thee promo be in Chinese? logic train..................


Why on EARTH hasn't any one responded to the whole "Their music is only for the ears of their future husband(s)" part yet?
Notice how the promo states that they "won't be doing" what they always do, and then showing us the same thing. But the ad is being sarcastic, it's kind of taking on the whole "Yeah, we won't" stance. So, the fact that it says they would be writing for the ears of their future husbands is already sarcastic. Will they still carry out the forbidden love song theme???? I hope not, I really enjoy their newer type of songs, that are more themed that storytelling [prostie and ne ver]

And yeah, irish22, i do too.

I think the whole "girls can't do this, can't do that" talk is to intrigue the viewers. It adds this very sensitive sexist atmosphere to the show. I think the target audience here are males, and some females, of course.

Also, it kinda creats some contrast with Tatu's message. Like, the ad says that the girls are not allowed to sing, and Tatu will record their album; the ad says the girls are not allowed to dance, and Tatu will dance I assume.

I dunno, just assuming things, as I do...

I disagree. Everything that is itemized on this "women are not allowed to do this" list has been disregarded and challenged by tATu already and will be disregarded and challenged in the future as well. These texts are about LIMITING women, tATu are about FREEING women, laughing in the faces of all those people who STILL try to limit women with such preposterous rules. This message addresses women much more than men, even though open-minded guys will appreciate it as well.

Also, it kinda creats some contrast with Tatu's message. Like, the ad says that the girls are not allowed to sing, and Tatu will record their album; the ad says the girls are not allowed to dance, and Tatu will dance I assume.
Of course it creates contrast with tATu's message. The girls do not play by these kinds of constricting, sexist rules. tATu are about defiance and self-confidence after all. And more power to them!

Thanks for the translations, katbeidar, and thanks to DinoBora for posting the links! :done:

katbeidar, you said on the Russian forum that the text is in ordinary contemporary Chinese and you can understand it. Isn't it still possible that they are quotes from some ancient Chinese text (some codex?). Especially the part "The girls are forbiden to show their physical strength. They are not allowed to practice the art of fighting or to handle weapons. When the girls are being beaten, they are not to cry or to show their pain" seems to refer to such kind of interpretation. Anyways, seems that the text has been the first idea of the commercial and then the images are added.

I am surprised that outside of Russia, the Asian fans have been the most signficant group of people that have supported Tatu's music. Not that other countries and groups of people have not, but I wander why the Asian ppl have exceeded all others in their passion and love for Tatu. I wonder. Does anyone have an answer? Consider the number of albums, magazine articles, TV promotions and concerts, etc.

Asians respond better to the high pitch voices of tatu and the dance/alternative style of music. They have a lot of high pitched voices in anime. I don't think that rap/hip hop is too popular in asia among Japanese girls. A lot of the Japanese, Korean and Chinese girls in my boarding school listened to more romantic music than anything else. The Korean girls in my boarding school tended to listen to more alternative music. In the whole 4 yrs. I never heard a Japanese or Chinese girl in my boarding school blast eminem of other rap/hip hop artists.

That really helps me understand. I remember the first time I heard them, I thought, "where is that voice coming from?" I had never heard a voice that high, with such pitch, and then I saw them for the first time and everything else was history. I honestly believe that they could sing almost any song with those voices and it would sound great.

Lux
07-01-2004, 02:33
how to explain this..

the chinese voice in the background is just saying things that go along with the theme of tatu..
for example, when tatu are walking away from the fence in the ATTSS video, the voice says, "young girls aren't allowed to speak up, aren't allowed to walk fast.."

it's just part of the theme of the clip, nothing else.


dollparts3000 - i think that's too much of a generalization. i can't say it's untrue but more of a cultural thing. as for american raised chinese girls, the music tastes correlate strongly with culture.

Have you ever listened to the high pitched voices on anime? It's much different from high pitched voices in American cartoons. The Japanese and Chinese music that I've listened to from my friends also contains men with high pitched voices. There's this group called puffy ami yumi (can't remember if I spelled that right).
You can listen to their music here:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000AGWFU/qid=1073450916/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/104-1475763-5475140
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005KJR2.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

But there is also a lot of high pitched voices in the netherlands
or wherever the group 'Within Temptation' is from. If you like high pitched voices and angst, you might like 'Ice Queen' or ('Snow Queen') by them.
You can download ice queen here:
http://www.dutchtop40.net/download/3060/520b/Within%20Temptation%20-%20Ice%20Queen.mp3

There was this band with semi high voices called the murmurs in North America in 1995. My sister liked them. I liked them too but I would never have known about them had she not been listening to them. They were never widely known. One was a lesbian and the two girls were best friends. One had rainbow colored hair.
Pics from the murmurs:

http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Stage/9049/all5.jpg
Press enter in the address box and they will load if you are interested.

They were kinda lesbians or came across that way. One of the lead singers was definitely a lesbian. They have this new group called gush. More info can be found at:
http://www.gushmusic.com

Oh, this also reminds me of my friend Taeko from boarding school who would always talk in a really high pitched voice with Sue and her other friends. It was really funny how she said my name.

The closeness of Japanese school girls is also shown in a lot, a lot of Japanese anime (directed at kids) especially around the age of 14.

So these are some of the reasons why tatu is probably doing better over there.

07-01-2004, 23:06
Mossopp, i've heard much higher voices. And Lena is for sure to sing Alto... she's no soprano, but she could if she wanted to. Just not comfortably.

So to say TATU have really high voices is false. YULIA has a high voice... or at least, she used too

[ i love being technical ]

dollparts3000
07-01-2004, 23:47
Well that's true. There style of singing though with extremely high notes in their songs is different than a lot of people are used to but, it's just for some songs and for certain lines. Like it goes from ultra low to ultra high in a second which makes t.a.t.u. unique. I like it.

Twiggy
07-01-2004, 23:54

I think Lena's Voice is much higher than Julias. Julia has that special colour in her voice, that you will always find her voice out of hundrets.

Do you really think that JULIA has lost her voice. She seemed to have her range and quality in Tokyo and I don't know how she sounded in St. Petersburg. Does anyone have a status on her vocal chords and the tumor in the back of her throat? I would hate to see her lose the quality of her voice, it is unique and beautiful.:(

Yes .. everytime listen to tatu .. I always drawn in Yulia's voice.. its sad to think about the tumor ..pain that she face everday .. [ I don't know .. I think it got to be painful somehow ] .... such a beautiful voice came with such a very high price .. imagine when she was in the eurovison singing live .. and just few hours before that she was doing the treatment for her throat .. such an adorable girl .. :(

thegurgi
08-01-2004, 19:07
bpro50, i do think that Yulia is losing her range, but that won't truly effect the quality of her voice, just on how high she can go. I've heard the live How Soon Is Now, and i can i hear some true uncomfort when she gets up high, and i hope for her own sake she can keep it out of that range for future songs. Take it from me, Julia doesn't need to sing so high and loud, she sounds great no matter what [i just keep out for well being]

cirrus
08-01-2004, 21:46
There's this weird voice in Tatu songs, listen very carefully - especially malchik gey (the english one for sure), and I think it's Yulia's super-high voice in the background. Very quiet, but it's there.

And they do sing kinda high. A lot of people couldn't stand Yulia's high-pitched "not gonna get us!" part... to be honest, I didn't like it much either

thegurgi
08-01-2004, 22:07
cirrus, i can sing unison with Lena, most of the time. she really doesn't sing that high.

And yeah, Yulia counters with an incredibly high pitched harmony in Malchik-gei and in sometimes in Clowns... it's rather amazing.

Like i said on the temp forum, Podnebesnaya was heavily advertized by STS as a reality show.

People were expecting something like Big Brother or Fame Academy. A building with cameras in every room and the participants being filmed 24/7, with the possibility for the viewers to watch all day long what's happening in there on cable, satelite, or the internet.

When the show was anounced, it was said that the girls would be living in Podnebesnaya. That's obviously not the case, they are there only a few hours a day and not even everyday.

But in the end it doesn't even matter since the show is not live 24/7. Podnebesnaya is not at all a reality show, and not at all what STS advertized. I think a lot of viewers are disappointed and the ratings are not good.

Instead we are given 1 hour shows with staged scenes, filmed and edited by Manski. Podnebesnaya is in fact the continuation of Manski's Anatomy.

27-01-2004, 18:01
To me, it doesn't look like any relity show at all. Maybe, later we'll see something. At the moment we had only misc. shootings. It's possible that STS is not agreeing with the t.A.T.u. management, thus we are facing a poor show. For us who know t.A.T.u. and are interested in the group, everything is watchable and valuable - for average TV watchers the show is not that enetertaining, except some beeping and swearing where possible. Okay, we'll wait and see what happens then.

Agreed. It's easy to forget now, but when Tatu first appeared here in the UK, they were the biggest pop sensation since oooooohhhh, the Spice Girls at the very least. Less than six months later they were a laughing stock. It took a special kind of genius to achieve that. In fact, it was actually harder to achieve that than to maintain their position as a pop sensation. I can't comment on Tatu's marketing campaign in Russia but over here in the West it was a travesty.

Wow! I just checked the poll on the Podnebesnaya home page, it's been open for like 12 hours and less than 500 people have voted!
That's a very low number! I hope it's not an indication of how many people actually watch the show in Russia. :hmmm:

This is very unpleasent and annoying. What's the point of putting up some DIY recordings? Why don't Tatu themselves record a few songs and put them up for us to listen?

xena225
28-01-2004, 13:13
Wow, so many files. :)

I think it's awesome that those in charge make the effort to put all those songs online. This shows a deep appreciation of tATu for their fanbase - like saying "Thank you, well done, we appreciate it", instead of just collecting the files, listening to it all, and then storing it away in their studio. This way they are giving something back, and at the same time let us all catch a glimpse of the creative process. It's really cool.

Some of the songs are pretty good, too, I must say.

How come you only "read" those parts that fit with your current opinion?
Then I will help you: Here's what was also written there as this number was also confirmed by CTC:
Am nдchsten Wochenende werde die Serie jedoch wieder ьber den Дther laufen, sagte STS-Mitarbeiterin Inna Lepetikowa russland-aktuell. Mit circa sieben Prozent der Zuschauerquote hдtte die Sendung am Samstag keinen schlechten Marktanteil gehabt....
CTC confirmed 7% and said this was an acceptable number.

You know, all kidding aside, creating a Reality show series took a lot of guts. First of all, the idea of a Reality series may not be original but tracking the development of a new album and all of the issues that surround Russia's most famous musical group did not have a nice road map behind it. And, whereas, most of the hard core fans would like to see them devote full time to developing an album, the rest of the world probably is intriqued by their personality, their history, the controversies that surround them, the chat session, the many pictures that have been developed, Tatu's friends, their day-to-day life. I just think there is a lot of negative comments when the overall impact of the Reality series has been very positive thus far. It is going to take a lot of energy to keep the subject matter new and interesting but I take my hat off to all of them for being willing to launch out in a direction without a clear idea of how well it would all work. It will be hard work, but if they pull it off, there will be a ton of footage on Tatu, a lot of pics, a new album and we will all know a lot more about Tatu than any other group out there. I sure hope they succeed.

I really don't know if they will consider English language songs...and quite frankly a t-shirt to the winner doesn't cut it.:hmmm: I don't want Ivan screwing around with my stuff; he should just continue to screw himself and let the girls choose their music with a real music producer! Sorry, don't mean to sound so negative, but they have changed the rules of this contest many times. First, the "composers stand to make millions" to "the composers get a signed t-shirt."

13-02-2004, 10:39
From what I gather from the online translation it's a short interview with the girls where Lena speaks about how they don't have to maintain "the legend of a non-traditional orientation" any longer... that she likes fellows and even has a young man (a bf I presume), while Yulia asked how they knew about her oriantation that nobody knows that. :P...
Lena said she still smokes, though she tried to quit but unsuccesfuly, while Yulia was succesful at it...
Then they said they don't drink frequently and don't use drugs. Lena said she was against the legalization of Marihuana. About Tokio Yulia said that Lena just strained herself to much there (or strained her voice? I didn't get that clearly).
And last but not least Lena told that they are coping with the recording process in Podebesnaya and everything will be OK and OB. :D

EDIT: I've made a few mistakes. It's not Lena who says that they don't have to maintain "the legend of a non-traditional orientation" any longer... it was just a QUESTION from the journalist. Besided that both of them say as well that their sexuality is their private business. Thanks to Xenna for pointing that out to me.

One thing I'll give to Ivan . . . he knows how to pick'em. Whatever Katja looks like today, just wait six months and take a look again . . . a 3some might look different in a new light! This guy Ivan is amazing if the girl will listen to him. He'll use her until she no longer serves his purpose or follows his explicit direction and then he'll lose her. It happens with all of his projects . . . so-called child psychology and counseling, adverstizing, music producer. Ivan is predictable and he has a pattern . . . he just uses people like things until he gets bored and then he moves on. He's smart and so it takes a while before he plays his hand. It won't be long until everyone figures all of this out and Ivan won't be able to use people anymore. Hope he has all the money he needs.

dollparts3000
24-02-2004, 07:46
You may be right, however I think differently. Yulia and Lena left Ivan! (not the other way around) Remember, this might also be a publicity stunt! He's not ditching tatu, he's just opening a new project. They knew from the start, that Tatu would probably end when they turned 20 or 21. It's a fact. He's not ditching them. If anything, the public will probably lose interested when Yulia and Lena hit 21 or 22 which is why Ivan will focus less attention on Tatu. If something is not profiting, there is no point of investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in it, not to mention time. It is a fact. If Ivan wants his business, Neformat to survive, he has to start focusing on other projects. I get the impression that Ivan is an artist. He wants to create. He really doesn't need the money. He could retire. Ivan likes to work.

It's a shame that Tatu has to end in a few years. People really shouldn't act like it's doomsday now. Lena and Yulia have atleast another year or two. I really like their voices together. Maybe, they could survive if they changed their image somehow when they hit 21. Ivan could probably find a way of doing this.

On another note, What the fcuk????

http://www.zoloto.ee/photo/katja/n03.jpg

Spot the stuff animal. Lol. If he made Katia, a little rebellious, she would prob. sell. I like her voice but most of her songs are not very catchy! They don't have high's and lows or do anything different, they are very bland. Thereare only two songs that I like.

1. Katia_Nechajeva-Ne_zhdala
2. Suicide

The others I don't really care for. I think she should be a little more edgy. With her voice, she would sound much better by singing more strongly and by being more edgy.

She doesn't have as much personality as Yulia and Lena do. I really don't know what her personality is. She seems kind of surface. They really need to add more depth to her image.

I agree with the "Yulia and Lena left Ivan"-part. I think that's become very obvious according to the reports posted here.

I don't agree on the idea that tATu would have to end so early because of age issues. It all depends on how the group would be allowed to develop, and seeing as Lena and Yulia have become quite confident and assertive during the last couple of months, they of course would want to have a say in it - as they should. I wouldn't have a problem at all with tATu as grown-up women - quite the contrary - and let's face it, the schoolgirl image has been a thing of the past for a long long time now. They've matured before our eyes, and had the creative part of the project blossomed and matured in the same way, tAtu would still be on top. I don't think the audience has lost interest at all (they are still winning prestigious awards, they are still generating headlines, so the public interest is definitely still there) - Lena and Yulia have great talent, great personalities, great chemistry, great professionalism - so why shouldn't they continue to be successful artists (as tAtu)? But creative standstill is lethal for any group, and I blame Ivan for that. From all I've read Lena and Yulia wanted to record a new album, to get new material out for the fans and themselves, and Ivan obviously wasn't capable or willing to do this for too long. Now more problems have arisen which seemingly have widened the gap between Lena&Yulia on one side and Ivan on the other. So these are in my opinion the reasons it may all end, not the fact that tAtu would have to come to an end with Lena and Yulia turning 21.

Should tAtu really come to and, I do hope Lena & Yulia will continue as a duet (as both of them say), because they still have a lot to give us as great artists and as sparkling personalities.

They've matured before our eyes, and had the creative part of the project blossomed and matured in the same way, tAtu would still be on top. I don't think the audience has lost interest at all (they are still winning prestigious awards, they are still generating headlines, so the public interest is definitely still there) - Lena and Yulia have great talent, great personalities, great chemistry, great professionalism - so why shouldn't they continue to be successful artists (as tAtu)? But creative standstill is lethal for any group, and I blame Ivan for that. From all I've read Lena and Yulia wanted to record a new album, to get new material out for the fans and themselves, and Ivan obviously wasn't capable or willing to do this for too long.
That's completely right.

I regret the fact that Ivan obviously doesn't get his act together anymore as he was, just like Yulia said, the one with the ideas in the beginning; without those tATu would have never been succesfull in the West as they were.
But he changed - too much.

By the way I got nothing against Katya but she won't get to the heights tATu was, not in Russia, and surely not in the West - none of the Russians I spoke with knew her and her music is nice Euro-Dance, but not more.
