I think I will be loling till tomorrow, for the way the *compere* (коферансье) is announcing "The song "Mother," lyrics by Till Lindemann, music by Richard Kruspe."
As if it's yet some another Lebedev -Kumach song, and not Rammstein's.
And the children, the bows in girl's hair, the seriousness and devotion to the singing of no matter what)))
I would not say that the girl has become boring
Baby, this is already a serious song, much more interesting than teenage epatage covers))
The girl is doing well, while she has little ,just a few really good songs.But she has everything ahead of her, she is at the very beginning of the path !
...So now that I've mentioned that Russians perceive the incursion of the "Defender" as the event correlated to the attempt of Merkel ( and Macron) to organize the EU/Putin meeting ( an attempt that was resisted by Poland/Baltic countries) there are more troubles brewing in EU -
Cool , this is a Russian band? Reminds me a bit of bands like US band Foreigner (if you know them), or perhaps German band The Scorpions (if you know them)? I've only had a chance to have a quick listen at the moment, today I have to go to a wedding (don't really want to go to be honest) but I will spend a bit of time looking them up later this weekend
No, looks like an American one.
( I think Maxim decided to be careful here with his selection after all my criticism of Russian pop music)))
( And he posted A LOT of it, in "European music thread. Some are gems, and some are "what on Earth..."
P.S. Truth to be told, back in the day the majority of Russians were listening to the British bands, not American ones.
I don't know what it is today though.

Well, this is often a perfectly fair criticism.

Not in my case. My favorite foreign bands from my childhood are Americans. Manowar and The Offspring .
( Yeah I know - hurts my ears too, but some consider him one of the best poets in America.)
He won the Nobel Prize for Literature, by the way. This is a stupid prize, because Aleksievich has it, but not Sorokin or Pelevin. Bob Dylan has it, but not Cormac McCarthy. Etc.
Maxim, I don't remember what year you were born in, but I think by the end of the 80ies, early 90ies, "things American" were in in Russia, and I assume American bands too. ( I believe that that horrid "American boy" song that Alec the Ukrainian once posted, was the reflection of it all. .)
But BEFORE that period, you wouldn't hear American bands in Moscow, while something like "Pink Floyd" was well-known, and "Smokey" were bursting from the open windows all over the place. ( I don't even mention something as "Beatles," or "Rolling Stones," since it's a given.)
The rest of the "foreign music" was mostly Italian or German, that sounded like Italian anyways ( yeah, add some French there.)))

He did?
Help me Lord.
( You know, the poetry here in America ( and approach to it in general) is very different.
Think more within the lines of what's known in Russia as "White poems" ( "Белые стихи.")
