t.A.T.u.
Biography
Assembled by former TV-commercial producer Ivan Shapovalov after auditioning hundreds of candidates at Moscow's Mostfilm studios, t.A.T.u. (aka Taty) comprised Julia Olegovna Volkova (aka Julia Volkova; born 1985) and Elena Sergeevna Katina (aka Lena Katina; born 1984). Named after an internationally fashionable word, the teen pop duo delivered captivating melodies and controversial lyrics and signed up to Universal Music Russia on May 16, 2001. Their debut single, "Ya Soshla s Uma (I've Lost My Mind)," based on a story about a lesbian affair between two young girls, became their first smash, gaining international exposure through MTV. After issuing a second single called "Nas Ne Dogoniat (They Won't Catch Us)," their album 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane was released. 200 km/h didn't exactly catch fire when it was issued domestically in September 2002, though there was plenty of breathless ink spilled over Julia and Lena's Sapphic backstory. t.A.T.u. returned in 2005 with the album Dangerous and Moving. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

^^ just say nice things on the stuffs. we don't need all this arguing, ppl will always have diff views && only argue more if provocated.* *
**sorry if my spelling is s**tty, i'm having one of those days where all english just flllllys out the damn window. |
||
I've been in love with t.A.T.u. from the first time I ever heard "All The Things She Said"! BEST female group EVER!
|
||
T.a.t.u. is the best! You guys should hear Lopa- She Wolf! ^-^
|
||
t.A.Tu has really great music all i can say lyrics are awsome....th e i r sexuality doesnt matter they make great music either way
|
||
FWIW, I don't like contrived bands or formula music. It's more of an ethical thing than a musical taste thing. A prime example would be that I like Lady GaGa, but not Pussycat Dolls. Whatever you can say about Lady GaGa, at least you can say "that's all her. that's what _she_ does." It's not just what some balding 50 year old thought would appeal to the kids these days. Having said that, I probably wont give t.A.T.u a thumbs down. It does sound good.
|
||
I don't quite see how Disturbed, Slipknot or Linken Park(the old albums) are horrible bands... They have musical talent and use it... I just heard t.A.T.u now, and their about just as good as all of these bands...
|
||
Aj... Lol wow. If you played it on a rock station and you don't like it. Just click the little down thumb and move on.. X) wow
I personally love there stuff. But hey to each there own right? |
||
WTF IS THIS S**T
A HORRIBLE COVER OF SMITH'S SONG JUST PLAYED ON MY ROCK STATION THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THIS IS LIKE DISNEY LADYTRON |
||
Anyone who listens to Linkin Park more than likely listens to crap like Disturbed, Slipknot, etc. Therefore you take their opinion with a grain of salt... or not at all.
|
||
keep in mind as well, a judgement of 'talent' is also subject to bias - if you dont like the music, it's easy to assume that they're untalented for not catering to your ears, even if they're talented in areas you dont notice.
|
||
'jorge' ferris- no, it's not a matter of popularity, it's a matter of talent... which is something Linkin Park lacks. They've never been good. But hey, to each their own. I just prefer listening to musicians with talent ;)
|
||
yes they made it to the shared station!
|
||
Haha, saying t.a.t.u. is better than Linkin Park is a joke. Just because everyone likes them, doesn't mean they suck. Linkin Park has a ton of talent, Mike Shinoda alone could produce circles around these two little girls.
|
||
Marina- Did you just call Linkin Park and Evanescence talented? Seriously? Ok, Amy Lee a lil bit, but are you serious?! hahahahaha
|
||
A little sophmoric, but easy to listen to and catchy. PS I don't know who Vash saw on the similar artists, but Linkin Park and Evanescence are on mine. No comparison.
|
||
They need to fix the similar artists bit here to ones with actual talent. Those five seriously pale in comparison to t.A.T.u.
|
||
t.A.T.u. is the best voices i ever listened ,,i love those girls
|
||
Crossbonez- Agreed, Fly on the Wall is epic, and I love Snegopadi as well. Did they release an English version of that one?
|
||
i love all the things she said!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
|
||
I love 'Snowfalls.' It is such a great song by them! 'Fly on the Wall' and 'You and I' are also just as great!
|
||
i just heard one song all the things she said and i already love them!!!!!
|
||
Vash, it's the whole homo-shiek thing right now. It does not matter except for the fact that the media will not let it go. Their music would be just as captivating if we had no idea.
|
||
Why do you all keep declaring your sexual orientation? Who the f**k cares? This is the 21st century, right?
|
||
These two are the greatest thing that everyone else does NOT know about. Some music needs to be kept a secret. Their voices are simply beautiful.
|
||
