Pop duo t.A.T.u performing Sochi at Olympics Games opening ceremony


t.A.T.u.the duo famous for their faux-lesbian hit All The Things She Said, are reportedly performing at the Sochi winter games.Much has been reported about Sochi in the lead-up to the Games, from security concerns, protests against Russia's anti-gay “propaganda” law and the decidedly spring-like temperatures. And on top of all that, there's the price. With these Games reportedly being the most expensive in Olympic history – with an estimated $50-billion price tag – one can't help but wonder what we're going to see at the official kickoff to the Olympics. Multiple sources have confirmed Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina's presence at rehearsals in Sochi, with fans sharing photographs of the singers on stage and Volkova tweeting images of herself with Olympic athletes. According to the Washington Post, t.A.T.u.'s performance will be part of a warm-up that is not broadcast internationally, but Russia's Olympic team will enter Fisht stadium to the soundtrack of the duo's 2003 smash, Not Gonna Get Us.As is always the case for the opening ceremony, the details are largely under wraps. One element of the festivities drawing attention ahead of time was the performance of pseudo-lesbian Russian pop duo Tatu. Given the international outrage surrounding Russia's law banning gay "propaganda" to minors, the musical choice is conspicuous.The identity of the person who will carry the Olympic torch into the stadium to light the cauldron remained a secret before the ceremony. Whomever handles the honor will conclude a historic journey for the Olympic flame. The torch relay covered 39,000 miles during the relay.
