Like we said, TATU is all a stunt to lure more guys. They're not really lesbians. *sarcastic gasp* =8^)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>That does it. I'm changing my major to psychology.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I could have written that article the second I heard of Tatu, I totally saw it coming. :)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I didn't even think there was any question.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Umm, isn't the sun a tabloid?</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>1) The cover of "How soon is now" (it's the only current song I can listen to five times in a row and not be tired of it. They took an otherwise above average song and made it great, this might be their next English market single unless they translate Not Gonna Get Us)
2) Not Gonna Get us, and the Russian version Nas Ne Dagonjat
3) Show Me Love
4) Clowns
5) All the things she said (which is currently the top single in Europe, and in the top 10 and rising in both Canada and the US, not sure about the US since most top singles are Country or Rap, but it will get first in Canada soon where most top singles are punk, alternative/rock, or electronic).

One major thing I like about them is their voices, very few singers are able to put emotion like that into their music. The songs are also much more melodic than more recent songs, in fact the last hugely popular band to have songs with that kind of melody and energy was Nirvana (a lot on Nevermind at least such as "Drain You", In Utero was a totally different approach, just like all their albums seam to have been).

Plus I like how Tatu songs can fit in with just about any mix, I'll be mixing it in with Dre, and Eminem, Nirvana and Chilli peppers, and also in with Neil Young and Leonard Cohen, blues music, jazz, hip hop, rock, etc.... I have a lot of different tastes as far as music goes, I don't limit myself, I like to have a wide variety. I'm also not a very moody person, so I just listen to whatever whenever, and I can generally appreciate all different types of music (I know that just about everyone on the Internet seams to be extremely genre biased, limiting themselves to one or two genres, particularilly Punk and Metal, for whatever reason, they're also the type of people who will critisize you for listening to music they don't like with the only argument "you have poor taste" and whatever other bullshit they can come up to support that bullshit).

The whole Lesbian gimmick with tATu, that's to get desparate teenagers to pay attention to them, all musicians do things to get noticed, that's why they have music videos, or weird concerts where they are flying around on bungie cords or have pyro effects. They're doing it for advertisement, not to make some sort of Art. It's not the first time someone has done this either, Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone in the Aerosmith video Crazy did the same thing that tATu did, which I will also note was a music video chart topper. So whatever they did, I'm happy for it, because I just found a few songs which I really like.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Julia and Lena were chosen because their voices worked extremely well together, and judging by what they were saying, they had just met their manager shortly before the recording of All the Things She Said. I don't see why they would lie about that, it would have actually been a better story to say they at least knew the manager beforehand.

Then again, the Sun is a tabloid, they write articles to get sales only, foreign bands and Michael Jackson are easy targets.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt georgia; text-align: left; '>I keep trying to tell Sine that women do that just to attract guys. We a similar situation going on at work, he doesnt believe me.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>You know, I -could- act gay to attract women...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt georgia; text-align: left; '>gay guys dont turn on MOST women</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Strange that most women adapt to be friends with gays in no time.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>That's just your excuse to finally cop a feel on your buddy's nuts, you closet queen. =8^)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Well yeah, women love gay guys as friends...they arent turned on by them though</div>

<div style='font: 11pt georgia; text-align: left; '>He's a closet queen, Im a closet dyke..so we like uh...fit...lol nevermind...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>It's probley because they'll both find the same men most attractive and they both has a sense of feminst fashion!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>lol, actually I think it's the fact that they're unobtainable</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>So, you wear the pants around your castle. You ownz him. He makes the sammich and fetches the beer for ya. You have trained him well. =8^)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt georgia; text-align: left; '>That could be true as well..but in a different sense. We dont have to worry about "Does he like me?" "Does my hair look ok?" We can let our guard down with gay guys.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Not quite..actually I think we're equal on who wears the pants. But Im glad Im not the only one who calls it a sammich ;)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>No, it's more like women are thinking (with straight males) "Oh, he's hitting on me...he talking to me, so that means he's trying to get in bed with me...he's flirting with me...why do men talk to me?"</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Let me get this straight, you're speaking for the lady? :)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt georgia; text-align: left; '>We arent talking about straight guys here...and why else would men talk to women they dont know? to get in their pants!! ;)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Paedophilic? Damn British language.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Which usually applies, but I wish women would just let their guard down and talk to guys just as normal people, instead of thinking we are ALL trying to fuck them.</div>
