Haha, I can hardly listen to a Gaga song without immediately being reminded some long gone European electro-techno star, but that's life - comparing everything with anything...

Yes, it makes the singer popular. Some people even wish that for Lena. Unimaginable, tsk-tsk!

Once in a decade vs. every year meeting. Makes a bit of a difference. The Russian fans know them already TOO personally, the pedestal therefore is gone. On the other hand Latinamericans are more passionate (I know - prejudice! ). If I were a star I would not struggle in Mickey Mouse land, if I just had to jump beyond the border in the south to find dedicated fans all over the country, and from there to a whole continent with people not so different from Mexicans.

Well, IMO Lena sings it much better than the girl and her additional backings are outstanding, really dreamy!

And about the Lady Gaga thing, well, it just annoys me; it always needs to be her. She's not even original, she's just a thousand of random, boring elements all over the place. pfff
Oh, of course, she can sing, but I'd rather get me some Adele if we're talking mainstream.

And of course I also want LENA to be popular, but saying a song she sings could be more popular if sang by another act is just ludicrous to me.

EDIT: here > https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...3&l=7d61c34413 < are some new pictures from Lena in Mexico! Taken from a TV Show called "Motel Diablito", lol. ANYWAYS, she looks adorable... Such a cutie!

For some unknown reason I love Lena most in Vintage-style.

Lena's interview to a website.

I like how she's more open to talk about such stuff as ugly/fat complex... lol -- things I've always wonder about her.

Nice one!

[fanoff]

She looks stunning in that video. So classy.

she's being such a bitch to yulia! love it!!

[MalchikGeiBrand]

Thanks for all the videos!
It is interesting to see Lena address the issues of beauty and her physical reputation during her teen years. Yulia's like 5'1 and is naturally super thin - she'll make anyone look bigger in comparison. Lena's not much taller herself but I think she's a nice shape. To quote Lena herself, "and my ass is bigger!!!"

I'm very glad to say that in the over 11 years of Lena's career, there hasn't been one moment where she looked terrifyingly and unhealthily thin or shockingly lost a lot. Her weight has fluctuated to different ends of the spectrum, sure, but nothing major. There was that brief phase where she did gain some back in 09 I think, but she's definitely lost that.
Lena's gotten super pretty over the years without anything too drastic. I really could say the exact same for Yulia if she'd just officially leave the lips alone. D:

The Motel Diablito interview is hilarious. Definite must watch. I missed seeing Tatu girls on talk shows!
also... lol @ the guy singing "ALL THE THING SHE SAYYYY... ALL THE THING SHE SAYYYY."
Lena's really cute in these videos. I've read some people say "she not as cute as she used to be!!" in some videos, but really, considering she's a decade older than many of the most popular tatu images, I think she's retained a lot of her "cuteness" physically, vocally and personality. Not much about her has changed.

Thanks for posting! It was definitely amusing. I'm glad Lena finally grew a set, especially since it seems her career is actually on track to go somewhere.

That's very true. I think Lena was a much more mature person early on. She knew who she was and what she wants, and so when things changed a lot around her, she didn't. She seems to be the same person, doing what she likes to do and being who she likes to be. The same story doesn't seem to be true for Yulia. She might be doing what she likes and she might be who she likes to be now, but she certainly doesn't have the same aura of confidence and maturity as Lena has. Not then, not now. I think that's why I haven't bothered keeping myself updated on Yulia after the split.

Lena seems to be doing something right, step by step. I look forward to her future

[regigigas1505]

Well, what you guys say is all very true!

I've been listening to Lena over and over lately and it never gets boring! I'm happy with the level of floating creativity around her recent tracks, live and studio ones. Stay and NF are amazing, DITH and MS are fresh and unique. Tic-Toc is pure bliss! Her vocals are such a gift to the track... Haha, I'm just getting more and more excited for her debut album. I'm sure it's gonna be worth the looooooooong wait!!!

Hope there's more surprising Lenka on the way!

[fanoff]

What is DITH, what is MS? Did I miss something?

The quality of the file of the download link (right click to save, left click to listen) is an mp3 with 320 kbps at 44.1 kHz sampling rate (8.6 MB). The youtube file has an aac with 129 kbps at 44.1 kHz (3.2 MB).

Right before I watched the Turner Photoshoot Making Of I had Evil Ways by Santana stuck in my head for about 10 minutes. And then I randomly decided to watch it for the first time and went WTF...

(Btw, I really hope we get to see the rest of those pictures at soem point! )

Could someone please translate that big long introduction from the Diablito interview?
