PAGE 1: BIO

Remember this name well, because, in a few months, it will be on everyone"s lips! Some will have trouble mentioning them, with the bitter taste of scandal in their mouths... In advertising their homosexuality, t.A.T.u. have become the phenomenon of 2001 in Eastern Europe. Today, Trevor Horn has produced their first single, "All the things she said", which is just as scandalous as Frankie Goes To Hollywood"s "Relax". So is t.A.T.u. a simple provocation or a future lesbian pop icon? Preview, listen to, and discover t.A.T.u. at http://www.tribumove.com. Don"t wait for someone else to tell you about them!

t.A.T.u., or rather two different personalities that compliment each other: Julia Volkova (the brunette) and Lena Katina (the redhead) are both passionate about music. Their lives changed when they met one another: these two teenagers fell in love and believed they were meant to be together. So in 2000, t.A.T.u. was born! Julia (18 years old (They are wrong! -Synthetic)) is the more energetic of the two, she has an assertive character, enjoys laughing and stepping outside of the box, though she doesn"t like to have her feet stepped on (Figure of speech, she doesn"t like being held back, limited. -Echo). Lena (17 years old (They are wrong again! -Synthetic), the youngest, is the intellectual one of this duo. She is introverted, loves reading, and prefers a good book to a party. t.A.T.u. is a story born of love, passion and hate. Hate against the intolerance and the difficulties of life in Russia. They decided to live it up and sing about their homosexuality, so that they might change the preconceptions and perceptions of their excessively conservative country (Which is open to debate, being that L & J keep saying that Moscow is very liberal. -Echo).

t.A.T.u. brings on the scandal! In 2001, the release of their first single "Ya Soshla S Una" (Yes, they spelled it wrong in the article. - Synthetic) ("All The Things She Said") was like a bomb. The sultry video was named Video of the Year 2001 by MTV. In the video, Julia and Lena appear in schoolgirl uniforms--a jab at Britney Spears" "Baby One More Time"--and are seemingly trapped in a cage. Behind bars, the girls proclaim their love to the world, in front of the stunned onlookers. In Eastern Europe, t.A.T.u."s homosexuality made the covers of all the magazines and posters. They promote a simple message: "Be happy, be proud of yourself. That"s what we are!" They dont hesitate any longer to interpret "Malchick Gay", an engaging song which shows that love is the same, whether it be straight or gay. Without concession, without holding back, and with great sincerity, they explain that when they do not like someone, they don"t hesitate to tell that person to go... (Figure of speech again. Insert swear word and "off", and you"d get what they"re saying. Harhar. -Echo)

Trevor Horn, a living legend! t.A.T.u."s 200 km/h in the wrong Lane has sold over a million copies. It"s producer Trevor Horn who was chosen to do the English version. He was a member of the Buggles "Video Killed The Radio Star", producer of FGTH, Propaganda, The Art of Noise, Pet Shop Boys, Grace Jones, Seal, Simple Minds... For him, t.A.T.u."s music is a savory mix of the electronic Propaganda and of the rock of Prodigy.

The feminine version of Prodigy! In Russia, Julia and Lena perform in front of 50,000 people and are assured even the first part of R. Kelly. Today, they are ready to conquer the world with their electronic-rock fusion! With them, the interesting thing is first and foremost their music, no matter what they are... Let"s give them the last word: "The cool thing is that no one thinks nothing about us. They either love us, or hate us!"

PAGE 2: INTERVIEW

Since October, we have predicted an incredible success for the t.A.T.u. girls, but they have far exceeded our expectations: they are already #1 in every European country! After our coverage in November, here is an immensely requested, brand new interview with Julia and Lena. It was during their first visit to Paris, laying in a baldaquin bed, languorously intertwined, that we find them in their very laid-back suite.

Who is who in this fiery duo?

Lena: My name is Lena and I"m 18. (They have the right answer here they must be really dumb to have said Julia was older earlier -Synthetic) (Or rather, they must be feeling dumb. Hah. -Echo)
Julia: As for me, I"m Julia and it"s hard to be more "queeny" (Whatever that means -Synthetic) than me! (Laughs). We could make a bet, but I warn that you"ll be the first ones to lose. (Raucous laughter.)

How did you meet each other?

Lena: We saw each other for the first time in a children"s band, a sort of chorus named Neposedi, we stayed in that group for 4 years before going to a casting. There were more than 500 girls, but as soon as we saw each other, we hugged. (Implying that they met each other at the casting. How odd. -Echo)

Why the passionate kissing?

Julia: We just wanted to!
Lena: Our emotions took over, that"s all. Tell me that"s not something I have to go see a doctor for!

Today, now, are you together and in love?

Julia: What do you think?
Lena: (Ndlr: Lena sits up and bristles). I didn"t expect such a question from a gay magazine. Only gays can understand and feel what we have. "We are family..." (Ndlr: Lena starts singing in English and Russian). Therefore, I am a bit surprised because you must have known the answer as soon as you saw us...

Are you not worried about being role models for young lesbians?

Lena: People will think whatever they want; we couldn"t care less. The people who understand our message and who identify with us, will follow us... That"s what"s important!

What were the funniest rumors about you in the tabloids?

Julia: Dear, there were more than I could count on my fingers and toes... There were good ones and bad ones, but in my opinion you all are more interested in the bad ones. Hmm! I know you"re a bunch of scamps! (Laughs.)
Lena: The best was the one that said that both of us were pregnant and that we were going to end our careers. The best part of that one was that the journalist called witnesses to find the fathers. (Lots of laughter.) You all are ready to believe it, my dears!

Could one say that the overall theme of your album, 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane is discovering your sexuality?

Lena: Dah! (Lots of laughter.) No, I"m kidding... It"s all about that! We discovered our sexuality and we wanted to share our introspective findings with others. The main message is basically to very simply say that if you are gay or lesbian, that"s fine and it"s nothing to be worried about. It"s completely normal!

What does "Malchik Gay" mean?

Julia: We wrote that song for you. It means that gay guys are cool and we want to ask them out for a good time. You see what I"m saying? (Laughs.)

In Russia, people were shocked by your video "All The Things She Said", in which you hold each other and kiss. Was that only to provoke people, for a taste of scandal or was it a way to break the taboos?

Lena: We have always broken barriers because that is who we are. For us, it"s normal! We love freedom, we dont like people to tell us what to do; we do whatever we want, with whomever we want. This is our slogan: "We want to do that and we"re gonna do it without thinking about the consequences!" For us, emotion takes over.

What did you think when you heard that your video was censored in Italy?

Lena: (Ndlr: Lena starts singing "Relax".) Now more than ever, you can compare us to Frankie Goes To Hollywood. When the video was censored, the fans protested for the TV stations to put the video back. The TV station"s actions did the opposite of what it was supposed to... "All The Things She Said" was #1 in Italy and when we did an autograph signing session in a big store, 5000 fans came to see us. We"ve never seen something like that!

What were your first impressions of Paris?

Lena: Lena: When we come back to Paris next January on the TV show "Mode, mode, mode et clubbing", can we go to a club? (Ndlr: If you"re number 1 in sales like in other countries: "Yes!" But if not: "You better work bitch!") (You better work bitch was in English in the original interview... go figure. -Synthetic)

PAGE 3 INTERVIEW (Cont"d)

Scandal!?

Is it true that you were both kicked out of the first group you were in?

Julia: (Raucous laughter.) We met each other in this children"s band, Neposedi, a sort of pop choir that was very popular in Russia. It made us very arrogant, and I began to fight with the other girls, to argue and very soon after, I became the bitch of the group: no one would talk to me and everyone was afraid of me! Am I that frightening? (Ndlr: Julia pouts.) (More laughter.)
Lena: In a nutshell, a real guy"s attitude! (Laughter.) So, they asked for her to leave... Myself, I was completely conquered and in love. ("Amoureuse" means "in love", but maybe they meant it in a lighter way. Beats me! -Echo)

So, how did you create t.A.T.u.?

Lena: It"s our current manager, Svengali Ivan Shapovalov, an ex-psychiatrist turned show-businessman that had the idea to produce a new female artist. A young girl with ambiguous sexuality... It"s then that he spotted me during a casting, and after many intense séances of psychotherapy... (Lots of laughter.) He wanted to make a duo and naturally asked me to create t.A.T.u. with my girlfriend, Julia. (It confuses me how it says this. It would imply that they met each at the casting and not after the casting. And also that they weren"t really casted separately. Anyway, maybe it"s just a mistake that they made while translating. -Echo)
Julia: In Russia, since the end of communism and with the austerity currently in reign, the people need more provocation and scandal to react... Actually, anything"s possible in Russia, so why not have a group of teenage lesbians? (Laughter.)

Does t.A.T.u. mean anything in particular?

Julia: In Russia, this means: "One girl loves another girl"! This corresponds perfectly to our relationship, because the first time I saw Lena, I told myself, "I want her, so I"ll have her!" (Raucous laughter.) And that"s what happened!

Did t.A.T.u. help in breaking the taboos in Russia?

Lena: To fight against the intolerance of our society, our message is clear and positive: a boy that loves another boy or a girl that loves another girl is completely normal! We"ve contributed in marginalizing intolerange and in making the concept of homosexuality more commonplace. We want people to listen to us and to understand this simple message: in accepting us ("us" being t.A.T.u. -Echo), they can accept others!

Is that the theme for your first single "All the Things She Said"?

Lena: Of course! When we released "Ya Soshla S Una" (Yes, they misspelled Uma yet again -Synthetic) ("All the Things She Said"), we didn"t leave anyone indifferent: either people hated us, or they thanked us for having done it... At least, everyone had an opinion! (Laughter.) MTV Russia bashed the video, and the press got a hold of the story. So then the craze for t.A.T.u. spread violently fast. We freed the passions of our countrymen...
Julia: The clip was the trigger for that craze: we appeared in our school uniforms, caged behind bars and fences. Behind the bars, we were declaring our love to the world, in front of the stunned eyes of passersby. Some people had actually rather badly reacted, screaming scandal and provocative intentions.

Speaking of which, are there many negative reactions to your libertine and intense image?

Julia: It may seem paradoxical, but it was the teen press that supported us the most. The parents, in their case, tried to protect their children from those horrible lesbians that would surely corrupt their offspring. As if listening to t.A.T.u. could make you gay or lesbian... (Lots of laughter.)
Lena: If it was that simple, I think I would have already tried it on certain girls! (Laughter.) (Ndlr: Julia starts to sulk and pout.)

Everybody is asking you this question, "Are you simply a product of marketing, or do you really love each other?"

Julia: People won"t stop asking us that question, we"re not acting and we won"t play with peoples" emotions. We"re too honest for that! But whatever, people can think what they want. After all, it"s our personal business.
Lena: Julia thinks about sex more than I do!

Random parts on the 3rd page:

EVERYONE IS BISEXUAL AND THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF HOMOSEXUALITY IN EVERY ONE OF US!

Caption of the anime picture:
Worshiped in Russia, Lena and Julia are the heroines of several mangas (I have never, ever heard of this Synthetic).

I hope you enjoy it

A ver yo me fijao en estas dos partes de la entrevista:

Todo el mundo os hace esta pregunta,"Sois simplemente un producto comercial, o realmente estais enamoradas?"

Julia: La gente no para de hacernos esa pregunta, nosotras no estamos actuando y no queremos jugar con los sentimientos de las personas. Somos demasiado honestas para eso! Pero igualmente, la gente puede pensar lo que quiera. Despues de todo es nuestra vida personal.(o algo asi).

Lena: Julia piensa mas sobre sexo que yo! icon_eek.gificon_eek.gif

Sin comentarios...

la otra:

Significa t.A.T.u. algo en particular?

Julia: En Rusia, esto significa: "Una chica ama a otra chica"! Esto corresponde perfectamente a nuestra relación, porque la primera vez que vi a Lena, me dije, "la quiero, asi que la tendré!"(risas). Y eso es lo que paso!

Pues no se , que pensais vosotras, la verdad es que todo lo contrario a lo que dicen en la revista esa de la Maxim, tenias razón Leila , yo todavia estoy más confundida!!!!! icon_eek.gificon_eek.gif

Pues si... vaya lio que se ha hecho con las dos revistas...

En una sale una cosa y en la otra todo lo contrario.

Ahora leere alguna otra parte de la entrevista aver que dicen icon_razz.gificon_smile.gif

¡¡¡ Hola !!! les queria preguntar una cosa haber quien sabe , ¿ de què fecha es esta entrevista ? x que hasta donde se la entrevista con Maxin es de las mas recientes se hizo en Diciembre , corriganme si estoy equivocada pero yo creo que si es importante saber la fecha de ambas entrevistas ya que si la ùltima fue la de Maxim podemos tomar en cuenta que las chicas han decidido cambiar de actitud y darle un giro a la tuerca .

Otra cosita ¿ ya leyeron la experiencia que tuvo una de las WebMasters de la pàgina ta-tu net ? de verdad que algunas personas tienen suerte , esta chica se hospedo en el mismo Hotel en las Vegas en el que se hospedo Yulia & Lena y no sòlo eso , su habitaciòn estaba al lado del de las chicas y todavia hay mas , parece que ella no sabia que las t.A.T.u. estaban tan cercas y su hermano se dio cuenta , luego ella fue a tocar la puerta del room de t.A.T.u. y ... ¿ quièn creen que le abrio la puerta con tremenda sonrisa ? ¡¡¡ Yulia !!!! , la saludo y todo y dice que Yulia le pregunto si sabia hablar Ruso y en ese momento la chica se arrepintio de no haberlo aprendido a tiempo ... uff que experiencia , esta padre la anecdota ademas hay fotos de todo esto , si no lo ha visto les dejo la dire para que se lo chequen : http://www.ta-tu.net/

suertuda la tipa esa!!!

pero las niñas estaban kansadas o ké???

no se les mira alegres en las fotos icon_confused.gif

jo #7
Pues logicamente estaban cansadas x que acababan de terminar su presentacion en el pre-show de los premios Billboard , pero segùn el relato de esta chica , Yulia se porto muy buena onda ( cool ) al abrirle la puerta la atendio muy bien y le permitio tomarse una foto con ella , cosa que si hubiera sido otro artista quizas era capaz hasta de llamar a seguridad , me sorprende que asi de buenas a primeras las niñas abran la puerta de su cuarto sin la menor precacuciòn , deberian ser mas cuidadosas pues nunca se sabe que clase de personas tocan a tù puerta , en fin el caso es que se portaron amables , lo que pasa es que esta chica tambien se paso de lanza x que digo ya habia tocado una vez y despues volvio hacerlo , y como se comprendera ya dos veces me parece un exceso x que si ya te atendieron una vez con eso que te sea suficiente , las niñas estaban descansando y no pues las volvio a molestar , obviamente la segunda vez fue cuando le tardaron mas en abrir y ya de caridad le abrieon la puerta y esta vez le abrio Lena pero no muy contenta x lo que le entendi les cerro la puerta ( ¡¡¡ bien hecho !!! ) Fue al dìa siguiente cuando la chica esta le pidio permiso a la representante de las niñas para tomarse una foto con ambas y luego les pidio el chance a ellas y Lena le dijo que Sure ( Claro ) y no conforme con esto , todavia despues las volvio a seguir hasta el bus que las trasladaria al Aeropuerto .

No se es que personalmente pienso que esta chica abuso de la buena onda de las niñas , quizas x eso Lena no salio muy contenta que digamos en la foto , pero es que hay que comprender el cansancio y luego tener a una fan siguiendote a todos lados ... ufff

Bueno aki otra entrevista traducida xDDDDDDDD...ya me estoy cansando juasjuasjuas...weno,pero me creo esta icon_lol.gif

Bien, ellas dicen contrastes en cada entrevista .. en Maxim ellas dijeron que ellas no eran lesbianas y ellas tenían novios, miren a esto, que viene de un documental por la TV:

yulia: tenemos muchos amigos masculinos en Moscú ... lena: sí, amigos ... nada más...

yulia: nosotras teníamos novios, pero entonces entendimos que las muchachas son mejores ...

Allí, Yulia dice que ellas no tienen novios y como muchachas más, mientras en Maxim Yulia dice que ellas tenían, tienen, y siempre tendrán novios.

periodista sobre kazahstan tv: ¿por qué tatu? Yulia: es simple - una ama a la otra ... lena: sí, la mayor parte de la gente piensa que nosotras estamos casadas ya ... yulia: déjales pensar tan ... haremos que ... yulia: sí, dormimos en una cama grande ... yulia: lena y yo, nosotras estamos unidas para siempre ya...

... Aquí Yulia parece declarar que ella y Lena SON una pareja aun cuando ellas no sean porque ellas tengan novios. Si lees la entrevista de Maxim y luego esta declaración, ellas contrastan enormemente lo uno con lo otro. ¿También, en entrevistas, aunque hesitant, Yulia y Lena siempre contesten "sí" a la pregunta " REALMENTE se gustan ustedes dos.. como el amor de novia/novia? "

Mi último pedazo de prueba .. por favor, olvido de donde esto vino, pero si alguien sabe(conoce) la fuente, por favor digamelo. Estos son palabras de Lena en una entrevista real: " Cuando dije a mi abuela que yo era un lesbiana .. " (creo qaki este pavo se ekivoca..no fue Yulia la qle dijo esto a su abuela??????)Ella dice algo más pero no me acuerdo, pero usted la gente consigue el punto espero. Estoy harto de bull*hit de Ivan.. Quiero saber(conocer) que el fu*k hes hasta. Y sí, Lena EN REALIDAD declaró aquí que ella es un lesbiana .. así allí usted va. ¿Juegos de mente? Pienso qsi. No pienso que yo ALGUNA VEZ seré capaz de perdonarlos por esto.

De verdad chicas, qué ganas tenéis de calentaros la cabeza. La entrevista donde Lena (y sí, es Lena) dice que le comentó a su abuela que era lesbiana (y la abuela le contestó que qué bien que vivían en una época histórica diferente a la de ella, porque ella también lo era y no había podido decirlo) esa entrevista fue concedida a la Maxim (polaca) y tenéis la entrevista completa en estas páginas, donde, por cierto, le meten un buen toreo al periodista (que es idiota perdido)

A ver, es que vais a seguir dando vueltas a todo? Si sabéis que la única entrevista en la que hicieron semejantes comentarios es la concedida a Maxim (donde sus periodistas han demostrado ya no ser demasiado profesionales) y si sabéis también que todo se tergiversa y se da la vuelta cuando se quiere, y si sabéis que las niñas ante semejantes periodistillas se dedican a cachondearse y tomarles el pelo, vais a seguir adelante sacando jugo de algo tan insulso?

Hace más de dos años que estas niñas están en el candelero, han concedido miles de entrevistas desde entonces y ya han dejado muy claras muchas cosas, si después de preguntarte mil veces si el color es blanco y has contestado blanco siguen preguntándote lo mismo, es que yo les sacaría el arco iris completo.

Al final, con lo de sacarle punta a todo como estáis haciendo, a los únicos que estáis beneficiando son a estas publicaciones y sus periodistas, no a Tatu, así que vosotras mismas.

mmm ,ley rapidamente la entrevista esa de maximun que segun uds el periodista es un "idiota perdido", y ami no me lo parecio tanto salvo algunas cosas como: "son demaciado guapas para ser lesbianas" (que eso no tiene nada que ver)

Me parece que el periodista les hace la entrevista desde el punto que no save nada sobre ellas y que toma su lesbianismo como algo fabricado pura y exclusivamente para vender...

Viendolo desde ese punto creo que no es una entrevista mal hecha...

Si me equiboco corrijanme y leo la entrevista mas detenidamente
