and another thing: also about western media. they see tATu as 'another' manufactured pop band probably because they feel the need to label everything. see, they think they know everything, they think they saw it all, and when something totally new and unexpected comes, they feel the need to tear it down to pieces and fit it into their pre-established labels and put the etiquette on them: "pseudo-lesbians" since "they just CAN'T (OMG!!!) be real lesbians doing the (OMG!!!) kissing in the vid - that just can't be!!!".
i've noticed that ever since they broke the western market, ALL the media is trying to rip their image to shreads, to pick on EVERY single thing, just to prove that this somehow exotic band CAN'T be different from what they already know.
why is it that for us here, the lesbian thing counted so much less? yes, THE QUESTION was asked, but the girls gave an evasive answer and our media settled at that and respected their answer and concentrated on the message, the music more. we don't have paparazzi here. the first just started appearing and they provoked such big scandals that they wish they never had gotten started photographing celebs in the first place. we CARE about people's privacy here and we concentrate more on what they have to say. IF they got something to say, that is. if they are not interesting, we just say "f*** you" - no exaggeration in what Lena and Yulia said a while back.
