Will Ivan Shapovalov recast Tatu? (Komsomolskaya Pravda - Russia)

Time of publication: 22.02.2004
"Tatu in Podnebesnaya" on channel STS has at last reached its final stage. Less than a month remains before the release of the new album of the group (it should happen on the day of the presidential elections - 14 March). But in reality, new problems have now appeared. The fact is that the former group Tatu created by producer Ivan Shapovalov no longer exists. As witnessed by the spectators of the show, in the past days Lena and Yuia have handed over to the producer legal papers stating the dissolution of the contract.

This event has caught Ivan by surprise. He did not expect that the singers to whom his project has brought world popularity and top ranking in charts would leave without ceremony. However, Shapovalov has imagined a plan to go ahead and continue the recording of the new album.

According to the director of the show "Tatu in Podnebesnaya" Vitaly Manski, Ivan is considering three options to deal with the situation. Shapovalov is seriously thinking about singing Tatu's songs himself. Ivan can be seen regularly trying to sing a few songs from Lena and Yulia's repertoire.

However, it may not be possible for Shapovalov to be as charismatic as the girls, so he has imagined two more options. The first would be to organize a new casting to replace the members of group Tatu. The name of the band is already known and there are a lot of candidates to take Lena and Yulia's place. The second option would be to replace only one member of the group. Which one Shapovalov is considering to remove from Tatu is not known yet.

The spectators of "Tatu in Podnebesnaya" will discover what course will be undertaken by the producer and how Lena and Yulia will react in the coming days on channel STS.
