#3 I posted the article here about the Moscow concert. I still maintain that Mr Shapovalov is one sick puppy.

I simply offer people a new kind of music.

Horseshit! This turd is merely packaging sensationalism, just as with other no-talent "artists" like Madonna and Janet Jackson. I'd toss in Michael Bolton, but there is absolutely nothing sensational about that world-class whiner.

I detest any censorship of art. Mr Shapovalov is free to stage his show. It is incumbent upon thinking people everywhere to condemn this sort of gratuitous controversy. The glorification of bomb vest murderers has no place in civilized society. Anyone who can manage to connect a burqa with anything but the profound abuse of women needs extensive parking lot therapy. Combining the two goes beyond decency.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but a burqa-wearing homicide bomber would wear the explosives beneath her shroud. To place them externally serves only to make a senseless and grotesque point, if any at all. Mr Shapovalov is a parasite upon the real artistic community. He leaches out money that would better serve true talent with his contrived and artificial acts.

Here is a link to t.A.T.u.

And here is a link to their fan site.

This pair and their producer have all the artistic merit of Marky Mark. As a singer songwriter who has publicly performed hundreds of times, these sort of intentionally engineered all-hype morons make me PUKE.
