The girls have opened up to the world market, but would they have known the same kind of success if not for their little marketing gimmick that so blatantly presents itself?
The Truth About t.A.T.u.
Fact or Fiction?
The two girls had supposed brought about a new scandal in their homeland. During one of the concerts, in a night club in Moscow, Julia and Lean would have, despite themselves (?), set off a striptease contest! If we are to believe the local journalists, it was very hot in the club, and it didn't take much more than that for the two girls to try and alleviate the heat for their public by asking them to just take off a layer or so. But, apparently, some had decided to take off more than just that one layer!
Explosive, provocative, the two girls of t.A.T.u. are starting fires everywhere they go. It must be said that their way of interpreting their song All The Things She Said has a way of leaving its mark on people's minds. The entire world is dying to know, but the mystery around their relationship has yet to be clarified...
We sometimes get the impression of knowing them, but in the end, we don't really know much about them at all. Let's summarize. One is Julia, the other, Lena. They are 17 and 18 respectively and are from Moscow. Both had taken piano lessons and were a part of Neposedi. Julia has five years of tennis experience under her belt, and simply adores artistic skating, swimming and ballroom dancing. Lena, on her side, practices horse-back riding, but like her girlfriend, she is too a fan of artistic skating and ballroom dancing! And thus, beneath their rebellious outlooks, they can also have very refined tastes nonetheless.But from there on out, to know whether or not they are real libertines or just fake prudes, there is still a line. And it is just that, that makes it work so wonderfully. Everyone is wondering about them, their record label is leaving their personal lives completely undetermined, which certainly does not displease their producer. In '99, he had decided to launch two very special teens, two girls that had something more. It was at this moment that his path crossed with that of those two young girls. A chain reaction was set off right from the get-go. After having finished their audition, the girls sign their first contract. The t.A.T.u. machine is launched. "Signing a contract like this one was a great opportunity for us two. We have always wanted to sing together and now, it's like our dream has finally come true. In Russia, it's like another world, there are many interesting groups and artists, but whom cannot try their luck outside of Russia. But we, we are really fortunate."
Soon to Be Married?
Fortune, perhaps, but this formula would not have worked without a good dose of marketing! Because if these two lolitas were effectively really close to one another, the image that they are attempting to make believable is also proving to be fantastic fodder for pandemonic controversy. Which, of course, the two young ladies whole-heartedly deny. "We did not make-up a lie in our videos to attract the maximum number of fans and to assure our success. Julia and I, we really do love each other. Those that doubt us can go screw themselves." (Change screw for a four-lettered word beginning with 'f' and we've got a winner. Harhar. -E.) A declaration that sadly did not end the rumours. Recently, they admitted to having gone out with the members of a Russian boyband, Vlad and Sergey, whom were also two old friends of theirs from Neposedi. But these girls are full of contradictions, seeing as how just a few days after they confided this little scoop, they were now saying that they wanted to get married in Holland! Which proves that we have to decidedly beware of their obtrusive declarations. But it's surely what they were expecting...
Russians on MTV
Being that with those girls, we never know where they will turn next, we have to keep our eyes peeled and on the road. Rather hard in such conditions to really ignore these two vixens. We, by the way, aren't the only ones captivated with their various talents. Since last December, the Americans have also gotten to know them, seeing as how their video All The Things She Said was the first video ever "made in Russia" to be aired on MTV. Two days later, the girls were even invited to sing at the Billboards (Yes, they misspelled that. -E.) Awards in Las Vegas! As for their first international album "200km/h In The Wrong Lane", it only took a few weeks for it to appear in the charts in Europe, Canada and the States. Not bad, not bad at all!
"we really do love each other"
"we are as you see us"
What Happened?
t.A.T.u. have recently cancelled several concert dates in Poland. The reason? There again, two explanations were announced. According to the first one, the shows were cancelled because Julia had supposedly undergone throat surgery and could not, subsequently, sing till the month of March. But, according to the second explanation, there hadn't been enough tickets sold simply because many youths had been formally forbidden to go to such a provocative show by their parents! These girls decidedly do not pass by unnoticed.
