Muz-Tv Awards (zvuki.ru - Russia)Time of publication: 05.06.2005 |
All in all, it was worth spending three hours at this fest of patriotic optimism just for one reason – to witness the widely announced comeback of group t.A.T.u. Around midnight, a pedestal appeared on stage which carried two tiny figures of the t.A.T.u. girls holding hands. An instrumental of Ya Soshla S Uma started playing. The audience howled. The track played through its intro. The audience howled louder. The song kept playing on through its first verse and chorus. t.A.T.u. stood there motionless, holding their hands and the audience howled in bewilderment. The instrumental played through its 4 minutes and during all this time the girls didn’t make a single sound. This gave the strongest impression among all other acts at the ceremony. Then, Yulia and Lena climbed down and sang their most likely new song – something about being locked in a cage, monkeys and pain.
t.A.T.u. didn’t look like triumphing stars on their comeback but more like two tired and tortured-by-the-public-life girls. Any optimism disappeared. The best thing with t.A.T.u. is that you feel a genuine nerve and very real despair. Having awkwardly waved to the audience, they ran backstage as if escaping surrounding nonsense. The ceremony leaders got noticeably lost – it was meant that the enthusiastic audience would call the former main group of the entire planet back on stage. The applauses were so random that it couldn’t be taken as a sign of exaltation. None of Baskov’s encouraging calls worked. This all looked really strange and horrible.
They say that t.A.T.u are recording their new album in America but it’s difficult to imagine a more beautiful and more demonstrative end of this project than what happened at the ceremony: silence from the girls, silence from the audience and an instrumental of Ya Soshla S Uma, which dismissed all previous performances. Then, departure from the stage, which looked like an escape from the mental hospital, after which, I got lucky enough to escape it all too.
