Yulia Lipnitskaya

Well they were lucky then that they weren't put in prison like that other band called Pussy Riot or sth.I remember that there were huge protests against that all over Europe..

Anyway the sand drawing is amazing, such talent:love:!

It's not surpising at all , it's Russian sense of humor towards the West about the lesbian rights. Nothing could've happened to the girls from T.A.T.U. They were just singers(their manager created this image for them and according to their interviews he used them). The others are not very goot at singing they went to far by protesting in a chirch(which is forbidden by the law), that's why they went to prison(if you ask me they must go for their bad singing too,lol). I don't know why we're talking about such untalanted people on Yulia's thread. I've been watching FS for many(almost 30) years AND I'VE NEVER witnessed a talent like Yulia! She can move everybody from 5 years old, to 75, not a problem for her they all become her fans.
 
I know they had a song that was popular in Europe called All The Things She Said. It was controversial because of 'lesbian tones'. I'd say it was more than tones :laugh:

Right. I do remember now.
It's not my cup of tea, the music I mean, but I actually liked them.

Russian tv is full with gay. I don't think they risk anything.
Pussy Riot though are complete rubbish, IMO.

That "band" Pussy Riot came protesting naked to church... They got what they deserved. End of story.

Interview with Mishin from February - he's praising Yulia big time there, repeating after Plushenko that they and whole generations of skaters will learn from Lipnitskaya. He says there is no choreography in her skating, only choreo that exists inside of her.

"Yulia Lipnitskaya turns the new page of figure skating" - he says.
"What's written on this page?" - asks interviewer.
"Skate not the music set by choreographer, but the music that resonates inside you." :love:
 
I agree that Yulia has amazing artistry. Her graceful movements is something that can't be taught. So its pretty funny when people say things like she has no artistry or musicality.

Whoever follows classical music knows who Daniel Barenboim is.
He has served as music director of several major symphonic and operatic orchestras, and he currently is general music director of La Scala, the Berlin State Opera, and the Staatskapelle Berlin.

Now, I'm nobody compared to him (as a musician I mean), but he maybe is the only one among top directors which leaves me cold and distant.
However, I would never ever say, or even think, that he lacks musicality just because I'm not that engaged by his style, or I don't like the sound of his orchestras that much.
That would be arrogant, pretentious, and stupid.

Remarks about lack of musical feeling are aggravating, but what bothers me most is that her boundless musical qualities are barely rewarded even by judges. It is so ironic to hear that she lacks emotion and art. Little wonder she often has that "Are you for real?" expression during interviews. Such insensitive blindness among judges and critics must have a lot to do with her attitude of loyalty to her fans but avowed disregard for scores. Actually her approach is taught to talented dancers, it's what Vaganova does with great success. The utterly amazing thing is she does it naturally, spontaneously, without the benefit of training, she is a Mozart. And much more a Dudamel than a Barenboim.

Agree, I have that same feeling about Barenboim. People praise him for being a great piano also, especially for Beethoven. I just don't feel it. I like Pollini better. But to say Barenboim has no musicality is stupid.

I completely agree with you.
I also prefer Pollini. :)
