t.A.T.u. {Yulia Volkova + Lena Katina}

[Deleted User 1,353]

t.A.T.u. was an english-russian duo made of Yulia Volkova (28) & Lena Katina (28) back in 1999 by Ivan Shapolavov. With 3 english and russian version released albums 

200 Po Vstrechnoy / 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane

 

Lyudi Invalidy / Dangerous and Moving

Vesyolye Ulybki / Waste Management

 

 

, and 3 compilations

t.A.T.u.: The Best

Waste Management Remixes

 200km/h in the wrong lane: 10 year anniversary edition

and a bio-related movie

You And I (Finding t.A.T.u.)

, they were Russian's most successful (in international terms) group ever, which crossed frontiers, not only musically related, but in sexual and social terms too.

 

Now, Yulia is experimenting a genre she likes to descibe as "Sex Pop-Rock", while Lena is pretty much following the same "electronic-emo(?)-pop" t.A.T.u. was so fondly characteristic of sounding.

 

 

 

 

So, any fans here of this [doubtfully] dead duo?

I heard they are getting together to play in Sao Paulo?

Plus Lena got married, both of their solo careers are all talk but no walk, they released shitty singles and that's all...

I'm so urging for legendary t.A.T.u. times.

Their third album, Waste Management was my favorite.

I used to have their discography on my ipod a while back. I love clowns, not gonna get us, and all the things she said. They never get old :,) I don't have a preference, but dangerous and moving is cute.

Yulia's "Didn't Wanna Do It"           

 

I know right? At first I HATED it, but it's such a slut empowerment sex catchy beat porn dancing music it's really hard to resist.

I hate the fact she completely fucked her face up.

And the video >>>>>>

 

Gave her patron and told her drink up 

How was I supposed to know 

That when we drunk it make us do things 

She turned into a hoe 

And so I turned into a pimp g 

 

Those lyrics

I love their songs in Russian, their lyrics are way deeper and more interesting. Not gonna get us (Nas ne dogonyat) is iconic, prostiye dvizhenia is hot.

People in France asked all the time my mother to translate their lyrics. 

Yulia's voice was way better than Lena's but she had to SCREAM for t.A.T.u.'s songs and it destroyed her voice ... She has always been the scandalous and sexual one, Lena appears to be the "angel" but to me it looks very fake. Yulia knows what she wants and it's pretty clear that she chooses her boyfriends according to what they can give her ...

Yess I've liked them ever since All The Things She Said came out.

 

I prefer the Russian songs, I think my favorite album is Lyudi Invalidy and my favorite song is Vsya Moya Lubov but I also like Obez'yanka Nol and Lyudi Invalidy. I haven't listened to their solo stuff at all, I probably should get around to it at some point.

[SebasDelRey 13]

I fucking love t.A.T.u. 

 

Their solo carrers tho 

I prefer yulia's songs tbh 

that cover she did feat. that other russian singer 

[Jazzmin 302]

I've never been their fans but I used to play their music for time to time. It's a pity that t.A.T.u.'s time is over. i feel unable to listen Yulia's and Lena's new songs. Of course if someone likes them, it's all right with me.

[Lirazel 700]

I really like them! I used to be such a stan as a kid...Recently I found their first CD for a next to nothing in an used books store and rediscovered my love for them.

  I adore how Julia and Lena's voices match, and how deeply emotional their music is

The only downside is how disgusting the backstory of the band is... like that Ivan Shapovalov had sex with Julia and said that she's "dumb, but real hot", that the girls had no idea that they're gonna pretend lesbians when they signed the contract... not to mention this:

 

 

The exclusive interview was given by Shapovalov together with Yulia and Lena in order to underline an untraditional image of the group. "Actually, his confessions reveal his unhealthy tendencies for exploiting young girls, who desire the fame"- thinks competent British media.
Idea of Tatu was born from the exploration of the market- says Shapovalov- Majority of people search through Internet for pornography- especially in relation to the underage people. I realized that their necessities are not satisfied. And, as it became clear later, I was right. But it also corresponded to my personal desires. I also prefer the underage ones. Cynical manipulations of Shapovalov with the young girls were revealed during the "hearings". Elena Kiper- , ex-author of Tatu songs and ex-lover of Shapovalov,- asserts that he (Shapovalov) regularly slept with those girls, who dreamt of being stars. It was confirmed by the very Shapovalov, even though he avoids to mention the age of the girls: I do it constantly. Constantly! In such way I am looking for a bride".
Elena also testified that Shapovalov slept with Yulia, when she was only 14 years old. And even though based on Russian laws it is not considered to be an act of crime, in the West it can harm the image of the group. Elena left the group an year ago as the sign of the protest against filming of excessively blunt video.
- Ivan told me once that he would want to sleep with Yulia. Then, he said that he "took" her during one of the dates - it happened at the back seat of the car. Certainly, Yulia was just a young girl from a poor family, who dreamt of fame, and Ivan convinced her that this the way to reach everything she wants. In a couple of weeks after that night in the car we put together the group Tatu, and Ivan told me:" Yulia- is an excellent choice. She is slightly dumb, but is very sexy. We f**ked really well". Yulia was attracted to Ivan. During the tours I and him already lived together, but in the mornings Yulia would knock on our door, because she wanted to be with him. She didn't know that I was already there.
Shapovalov and Yulia deny everything. Yulia became strongly enraged:
- You can think whatever you want to think, but I am telling you, that this is not true. He is a likable, pleasant person. For me he is a friend and a producer and nothing more.
Yet, Elena testifies that Ivan knows children's psychology very well and is capable of winning children's favour:
- He is a psychologist and knows the methods, with the help of which it is possible to win the child's favour. And during the process of selecting the girls he would find tens of those, who would be ready to fulfill any fantasies of his

The guy is a total asshole and a sociopathic child groomer... I feel like a total hipcryte for liking the band

@@Lirazel Sorry that I'm replying so out of sudden... but I've been loistering around the forum and then found myself reading about this t.A.T.u. harassment. Well, I've never stanned hard for this group (though, as I said, I think their old songs are good) so my God, I didn't know. And I used feel bad about liking the songs France Gall recorded during her Gainsbourg era... This is like thousandfold worse. I really do wish Ivan had not gotten away with his crap.

Hey, no problem! I've been really creeped out by this guy. This band had really amazing songs (even though I also haven't stanned for them, I just listen to their music from time to time) and been really shocked by the story... though I probably shouldn't been. I mean, wasn't the whole "14 y/o lesbians in school-uniforms" thing skeevy from the start? They were always sexualised (how about the DVD titled "Screaming for more"?)I've just been to innocent to notice it... the whole truth is horrifying. I'm glad that the girls dropped the dude (even though they've defended him later, ugh).
