::They are not lesbians!:: E. Kiper about t.A.T.u. in Bolshaya Stirka

Talk Show “Bolshaya Stirka”, Channel One, Russia (ORT) today at 17:00 (Moscow time)

The group's former co-producer Elena Kiper took part in a talkshow where the main topic was Scandals.
Elena said that Yulia and Lena are not lesbian – they simply are very good actresses. All those kisses and similar things were created by her, and so was every step and every answer the girls would give.

When she was asked how the girls reacted to the fact that they were supposed to kiss, she said that, after the girls realised that the business was profitable, it was a simple thing for them to kiss. Later on, the bed and all that relationship stuff started.

The song “Ya Soshla S Uma” was written by her (Elena Kiper) and taken out from life. Originally, it wasn’t written about two girls, but about love. Later on, the song was redone.

The song “Nas Ne Dogonyat” was written by her too, where she used her childhood diaries. The song was about her being on her way to run away from home.

When Elena was asked of what she thinks about the rumours of Shapovalov having sex with Yulia and Lena, she answered that she heard those rumours too (smiling).

To the question what, in her opinion, what would happen with the girls in 10 years, she answered, “In 10 years, no one will be listening to t.A.T.u. Neither here (Russia) nor outside the country.”

She was asked as well about the voices, to which Elena answered that Lena has a very good voice. She didn’t said anything about Yulia though.

To the question why she left the group, she said that she’d had enough of Shapovalov. To the question whether she regrets it now, when t.A.T.u. have become so popular in the world, that she left the group, she answered that it’s a painful subject for her.

At the end, Elena said that she wrote another song for the girls, which she took with her when she left the group.
