Oh, I am sure that's closer to the "bone". Very cheap aka strong-American-chick will show you the way - ah, just painful. Anyway, it's horrible even if I listen to it very quietly. Well, if everyone can think of sth. he/she has heard before when listening to Yulia, it doesn't quite makes sense for her, does it? Throw those songs away and get some refreshing, creative staff.
If she really likes what she's singing there, I think I have a problem... because I would still like to follow her "career"...

well i like rage or whatever its called better than Woman all the way down. Its reminds me of Kelly Clarkson style song.

They are not going to be hits. If they were Russian they could be but I think they sound nice. I like the lyrics. I think the whole show will be interesting seeing the way that she performed those two songs.


Here are better videos from House13

Are the 2 videos on the site the only songs she performed? Well judging from those, it looks like the performance wasn't a disaster but I'm still underwhelmed. The first thing I thought when I saw her was that she looked like a younger Eva Longoria, so kudos to her stylist this time. After that, well first I must say that doesn't even look like a half-hearted attempt at pole dancing, even Miley Cyrus did it sexier than that. As for the songs, they're a little catchy but I don't think they're likely to be chart toppers or anything. And I still like Lena's songs better, even without bias.

Also, doesn't it already say something when Lena's singing all her songs live and not only does Yulia immediately lip sync them but you can tell it's not always even her own vocals?

[Endri]

OMG her tattoos! I really like her songs. Pop-rock FTW

She uploaded the two new songs in her official channel in youtube in amazing quality: http://www.youtube.com/user/JuliaVolkovaOfficial

She said:

Lena - the only one who did not call today and congratulated me

It's sad actually.

[Sunset]

it's obvious, if julia was talking shit about her

[Starrgurl]

Where did you find this quote?

So Yulia talks shit about Lena, and then expects Lena to congratulate her? How many words can I think of to describe such a woman...

[thelastblossom]

She is so cheap lol. She indeed reminds me to sergey lazarev ... singing cheezy cheap dancy songs with horrible production and lipsyncing her fame in russia. I recognize that she will be a small succes like lazarev. Lena , eventhough I dont like her music much (but still a lot more than yulia's), has so much class compared to Yulia. Looks like she is mad at yulia but is classy enough to keep that to herself and is not trying to put yulia down on any way. however, yulia keeps on picking at lena it seems

I remember that Lena said in a video blog that she is totally in the opposite attitude. So why didn't she call? That is the main difference between the girls. Yulia says what she thinks out loud. But Lena keeps it inside and does nothing. There isn't even a message on the main page of tatu.ru. This is much worse than what Yulia did to Lena.

Can someone upload HQ rips of the two please??

Just a guess: Yulya didn't invite Lena to the birthday party, she told it. Probably this offended Lena.

A few details what Yulya told:
There is no disturbed relationship to Lena, she has nothing against the return of tatu, if Lena and Yulya come to an agreement, but without Boris Renskij. "Tatu will never die!"

Her solo plans: she has several tracks in preparation, but not already done to perfection, her single should be released close to summer and her album will be this or next year.

Thanks Mulder. Wonderful as usual!!

[RowerB]

Thanks very much, mulder. Great quality.

I think Yulia’s chances are good so long as she can reproduce more of the sort of sound in Woman All The Way Down.

Here is where I think she will draw her support.
1. Hardcore Yulia fans who would follow her whatever. (Not a high number)
2. Yulia fans that don’t know anything about music and are unaware that she is doing it all wrong. The “if it sounds good, it is good” brigade. (This is me and probably one or two others.)
3. Hardcore tatu fans that will follow both girls whatever. (Not a high number)
4. General public. This is the most important category. Given what we’ve heard I think Yulia has the potential to attract a considerable number of new fans. I’m not daft enough to think everyone will be won over. The people with any knowledge of what makes good music are non-starters, for example, but I’m sure she can end up with a loyal fan base of 80 – 90 million worldwide.

[thelastblossom]

90 milion fans? oO
most people dont know anything about music. the if it sounds good, it is good principle is already going on. therefore the famous artists are like yulia. I think she can be famous with good promotion in RUSSIA. she will not have 90 milion fans

[regigigas1505]

So. Yulia sounds like a worsened Pink sang by some LiLo wannabe. Sadly, of course. The songs are not really my taste. It actually makes me happy; I thought I only liked Lena's songs because she's Lena, but... I don't like Yulia's songs at all.

Also, I believe that bridge sang in "Outta My Way" is also by Yulia -- only altered. Not another singer. Just a guess, though.

She looks nice. The performance is not bad, but not good either. I hope she works on better songs.

Like someone else said, I believe she has high chances of being sucessful in Russia. Look at all the cameras! I hope she does become a hit in Russia, at least. And I also hope for some more tatuish sound in the future, or something less erotic or teenager.

About Lena not calling her... Argos said it all. How could she expect Lena to call if she hasn't even send her an invitation to the party and has been talking sh*t about her? Oh, please.

Also, where's the statement?

Well, anyways, I wish her all the best!

[manatsu103]

I actually like the new songs. I think they are good quality and they sound well done to me. The vocals on the other hand could be much better, but still good none the less... I LOVE rage!
