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

They aren't really gay... that's just something the producer types came up with to move records.

The wrestler who used "All the things she said" as her intro was Victoria. As a matter of fact,that's how I first heard that song. |
||
I remember the song that they used on WWE. "All the things she said". A trivia? Who had that play when they went to the ring?
|
||
Their version of "How Soon Is Now?" is the worst cover I have ever heard in my life. I can't believe it's real.

I'm really torn on these girls. Sometimes I am really in the mood for them, and other times they make me kind of angry. They're using the same idea to launch several songs. Regardless of how powerful of an idea people might think it is, it's still kind of... the same idea.

I enjoy their music, which is probably best viewed as a collection of works (as it is, by many artist) and produced with a oggel friendly package. While I am strongly against money being the motivation for music making I do have to support this group as I fell in love with the music before the media brodcasting of there marketing ploy.
|

i f**king love this "group" what ever you want to call them they're amazing.

guapa, nothing wrong with not writing your own music. Writing music and performing it are two seperate skills. As long as they don't misrepresent themselves by *saying* they write their own music, it isn't a big deal.
Lots of the music in the 50-70s was composed by one artist and performed by another. |
||
I like them but the thing I don't like is that they don't write thier own music
