from 8 2007 .
...That night we met up with his PR diva Olga and Russian Pop star Sergey Lazarev at Mon Cafe, Vlad's favorite late night hang out and a favorite among celebrities. He was sweet enough to give me his latest sold out album on DVD. Interestingly enough, he has a huge following in Japan, Korea and the Philippines. The world is truly small especially when it comes to music...
Over New Years, Sergey unveiled his English language video to "Almost Sorry" which is a treat for all UK and American fans as the original video was in Russian. The video is epically good and visually stunning, so it is a treat that us English speaking folk can actually understand what's he's all angsty and whining on about.
Well here's another little treat too that I dug up for you. I'm sure there is a reason that this "alternative" promo video to "Shattered Dreams" exists, but I don't really care what that is really, I'm getting sick of using Google translate to find out why - but this version of the video is far better than the original if you ask me.
We got lazers. We got champers. We got Sergey disco dancing and some rather cool looking folks who think they're cool because they are behind the synths and other people who think they are cool because they are playing with their iPhones in the club. It's all rather amazing if you ask me. I'm sure you'll agree.
Sergey Video Premiere: Sergey Lazarev ft Timati - "Lazerboy" in HQ
Seriously, I can't handle it. A Petros and Sergey video premiere all in one day! My little electro-head is exploding into a gizillion pieces of multi-couloured confetti!
But seriously, "Lazerboy" is all I was hoping for. Seriously cool. Seriously Sergey. Love the little lazers he shoots out of his fingers and out of the widescreen at the end! And then there is the (ahem) business suit reveal. And what about the Lady Gaga lookalike and the Kanye sunglasses. My boy Sergey knows what's hot.
To sum it all up - Just heavenly. I'm a Lazerboy for life...
Fuck the "bunting" - Sergey shoots lazers out of his fingers!

Keira - I knew you would love it! I almost fell over when I saw it.
Could it be true - have we turned JD into Sergey fan?! Mission accomplished
Singer and actor Sergey Lazarev started his career when he was younger than 10 years old, singing in Lakteus children choir. From this point on, music has never stopped being the most important thing in his life. When he was 14 he was already receiiving his first musical awards, won several childrens song contests, and ended up in a very popular Neposedi, same band where Julia and Lena of Tatu met each other.
Singer and actor Sergey is one of the biggest artists since Tatu to emerge from Russia – in fact he started his career in a band called Neposedi, which also contained Julia and Lena who went on to form the infamous Tatu. Sadly, he isn’t pretending to be gay for his male fans, he’s teasing them instead with his muscular body and flirtatious dance moves!
Sergey’s next single to be released from his award winning album TV Show (out in August in the UK) is ‘Girlfriend’ (released on the 30 June) , a funky high energy track which many claim will establish the singer as Russia’s answer to Mika.
We caught up with the sexy star to find out more.
You’re back in the UK, so what’s happening with you at the moment?
I did my first live gigs in the UK a couple of months ago supporting my latest single, ‘Girlfriend’. We played a number of clubs in London, Bournemouth, Romford, Camberley and Kingston. It was a lot of fun. I love exploring new audiences and seeing how people, who have never heard of me before, get turned on by my music.
I will be touring the UK again soon and I can’t wait to get in front of the English audiences again.
EQ's Second Interview With Sergey: "The Girls Are Showing Their Whole Naked Body And Nothing’s Covered. It’s Very Good."
On Monday night, I got to meet up with Sergey before his soundcheck for his repeat performance at superclub Heaven in London. This is the second time I've got to chat to the Russian sensation and we had a great time. I really wanted to get to the bottom of what's happening with his UK album and Sergey gave us some inside info and also gave us some exciting news on a Special Edition Remix album he's putting together. He also filled me in on the latest naughty happenings of his friends t.A.T.u!
Sergey is on the hot promotional trail in the UK now and you can hear the Electro Radio Mix of "Girlfriend" below which is a real stomper!

EQ: Welcome back to London Sergey – Has the rainy weather got you down today?
Sergey: No, no, no – actually I’ve had a very good trip so far!
How was Birmingham Pride yesterday? Which songs did you do?
It was very good – we expected a very big audience who enjoyed the show, enjoyed my performance. I did three songs, “Shattered Dreams”, “Girlfriend” my new single and “Flyer”.
