I think that "only stupid people need the girls" means that good music is good music regardless of who is singing. To me it doesn't matter if I am attracted to the other POD artists because of the use of Belochka as a marketing ploy. We were attracted to the group t.A.T.u. in much the same way. But we ended up liking them. (t.A.T.u. used the whole schoolgirl lesbian image to catch our attention, even though we now know everything behind that stunt. It's not like people are buying the CD thinking it's full of new t.A.T.u. songs.)
But, I do think Ivan was lying when he said, "I am not t.A.T.u.", because he is t.A.T.u.(at least there is no t.A.T.u. w/o him), so "t.A.T.u. in Podnebesnaya" is not exactly false advertising....
