i started watching the new tatu video because it was uncensored and has both of the girls naked. i kept watching because it had a good sound. then it blindsided me with a fucked up ending.
excellent.
what’s most interesting about the uncensored version isn’t that it has boobies, it’s that it’s twice as long, based around a remix of the song that’s better than the real thing, and has a whole extra chunk of the video storyline that doesn’t make it into the official version. the official video, meanwhile, uses some different camera angles and has a half a dozen better shots. so they’re both actually quite good, and the fuck you ending is intact on either.
i actually never liked the lesbian angle, if you can believe that? i tried watching the videos from their first album (they’re hot and kissing on each other in the rain!) but it was such ridiculous teenage melodrama that i couldn’t stand it. but the music was always catchy, so a few pictures of hot russian girls in the liner notes and some fat beats, i’m sold. the rest is irrelevant.
probably buying their two russian discs off ebay next week. the russian language tracks are generally superior anyhow. pretty much any time you translate your hit song into a foreign language it’s going to be weaker, unless you’re nat king cole. (and even he isn’t anymore.)
i may get the second us disc, there’s a ‘greatest hits’ comp with some b-sides and remixes and a dvd, and of course, they’re working on a third american english studio album. also, their third russian language disc is supposed to drop next month.
couple that with glukoza thanks to gta4, let’s just say don’t be surprised if you hear a lot of russian pop coming out of my workspace for awhile.
