tATu looking thoroughly peeved in their postcard...

Banger or not, they weren’t having a great time of it in Riga... here’s a thread...

#EurovisionAgain

Aside from turning up late and being grumps, they gave an interview calling (our beloved Queen) Lou a “witch”, elaborating that “in Russia we nurse blind people and old people, we don’t send them to Grand Prix. Guess it’s different in Germany?”

So err... WOW...

#EurovisionAgain

Lou’s response?

“I don’t know whether bitching and fighting and boozing kids are the right representatives for a beautiful country such as Russia...”

QUEEN.

#EurovisionAgain

This led to Russia being boo’d in the era pre-anti-booing-technology

ALSO... pretend lesbians tATu had promised to kiss which caused MORE outrage and retrospectively is a crackers scenario looking at Russia’s present attitudes to LGBTQ+ rights
