The voting was totally unbalanced though. Great Britain did not vote for the Russian duet at all, in spite of the fact that Tatu's single 'All the Things She Said' had topped the British charts.

This is rich coming from the EuroPEONS. Anyone here think the Eurotrash didn't give the UK song a single point because of its quality, or because of the UK's participation in the Iraq war?

Also, since Tatu sang their song in Russian and the tune wasn't the same then how was anyone to know that they were singing 'All the Things She Said'? Or is Pravda seriously suggesting that because this group had a hit in Britain recently then we should automatically like their songs even when they sing them in Russian?

Is that a request? (its so much easier legally, now that both of them are 18..)

On their web site in the top left, they request help in promoting the girls. I'm just doing my part to assist.

t.A.T.u. is asking you to help promote the band by sharing band information with other fans.

It was a different song altogether. They sang "Ne ver, ne bojsia, ne prosi" at Eurovision.

Yes, I thought it was a different song, so why does this article suggest that Britain should have voted for it because 'All the Things She Said' was a hit here?

If the Russians were trying to win then maybe they should have sung their song in English. The Turkish entry, which won, was in English and since English is the international language it is understood by far more Europeans than Russian. Besides, Tatu sing well in English so its not like they weren't capable of it.
