Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted February 26, 2003 Great performance, except for the obvious cutaway from the kissing segment of the act, which is understandable, considering the audience. Kind of a bizarre act to have on Leno, however. Seems to me they'd be more suited for Conan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted February 26, 2003 At least I watched it..hehehe.. You know, I don't think they've had that much exposure in the U.S. yet. I have a feeling this novelty is really going to take off. You guys should've seen Arsenio Hall after the performance, as he goes up to Leno and acts like he's going to kiss him, then walks off.

Guest Cavi Report post Posted February 26, 2003 I was glad they actually sang live for the most part (and the band was live as well, unlike some of their other english language performances). They filmed their Kilborn appearance a few days ago. Show is airing in early March, I believe. That is more friendly to their whole shtick than Leno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest justsoyouknow Report post Posted February 26, 2003 Just so I'm clear on this....are they really lesbians or not? I've heard from some people that they really are, while others are claiming that it's just pseudo-lesbianism........I'm confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sassquatch Report post Posted February 27, 2003 I thought TATU were persona non grata with you Kotz after they had called Kylie a bitch in some Euro tabloid? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted February 27, 2003 I thought TATU were persona non grata with you Kotz after they had called Kylie a bitch in some Euro tabloid? Ah, that was before I really listened to anything other than their single. While their bashing of Kylie was just to get some cheap publicity (and such an act has proven to somehow cause the downfall of the musician or group), it still irked me. As such, they only rank fifth now on my "favorite female pop acts" list, behind the obvious #1, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Britney, and Avril. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cynicalprofit Report post Posted February 27, 2003 So its an act, but how old are they, I honestly have no idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest raptor Report post Posted February 27, 2003 They were actually singing? There were parts that they couldn't have possibly done on their own, I don't think. I thought it was pretty clear that they were lip-synching. Neat song though. Inoffensive on the ears, and that's a lot in the musical climate today, I think. Oh, and my friend and I were laughing our asses of when they cut to the extended shot of the guitar player. Funny stuff, that. Reminds me of Elvis only being shot from the waist up upon his debut.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted February 27, 2003 Actually no one really knows if it's an act or not at this point. So don't take the word here as fact. They were on Jimmy Kimmel tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cavi Report post Posted February 27, 2003 They were actually singing? There were parts that they couldn't have possibly done on their own, I don't think. I thought it was pretty clear that they were lip-synching. There were a few parts I noticed when the live vocals were weak, you could hear a prerecorded vocal backing them up. Probably had that running throughout the whole song and they just sang over it, as is the case with a lot of pop acts. In regards to how old the girls are, both are 18.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted February 27, 2003 I missed the Leno show but caught Kimmel...I can't see these girls lasting more then 2 months in the Spotlight... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted February 27, 2003 Yah I saw Kimmel's show last night. These girls are HORRIBLE performers. If your at least gonna lip sync...do it so it's not noticeable. And at know what your gonna do before you go out there. They looked soooooo lost. And that kiss was fake as hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted February 27, 2003 Here's my reasoning for why they're so bad with performances in English: Their video is simply the Russian video with English lyrics, so maybe they figure that they can blow off the synch as badly as they did on there. I'd rather they sang the Russian version anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted February 27, 2003 Yeah, I saw them on Kimmel, too. They seem unashamed of the lip synching, what with the fact that they did it even through the 7,000 vocal effects applied to various parts of that song. And personally, I would've pimp slapped those bitches for being so surly and uncommunicative during the interview segment. It's hard to get a word in edgewise when Don King is around, I understand, but they could have at least tried to talk. The brunette was looking at Kimmel like he was the biggest asshole in the world throughout the segment. The lesbian kiss was also highly disappointing, marking the second evening in a row when I stayed up to see hot lesbian action and wound up regretting it. The first night consisted of me watching Girls In Prison on the Lifetime Movie Channel. You'd think a female prison movie starring Anne Heche would be a sure winner, too.

Guest Rob Edwards Report post Posted February 27, 2003 Just hope you lot don't have to put up with that fecking song as much as we do at the minute. First time it's fine but on the 10,000th listen it tends to grate a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest razazteca Report post Posted March 3, 2003 Well they are on the show! Who cares if they are good live or not, I just want to see if they will do the pseudo-lesbian act or call out the other pop tart stars TRL stars like Brittney or Cristina. Damn pop music just sucks, too many pop punk and dance groups with solo acts. When they said JC I was thinking they were refering to Jay Z not the guy from Backstreet or In Sync.......the mullet lives! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted March 3, 2003 Crap! Did I miss it, or is it still to come? EDIT: Nope, they just said it was next. They pronounce their name like an acronym? Shit, I'd been saying it like "tattoo" this whole time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
