I know they just acted gay for attention, but I love their songs! All I have is The Best, but I have all their other English songs downloaded from itunes, a few in Russian, and the entire Russian Vesyolye Ulybki (Happy Smiles) album downloaded, and the first disc downloaded off of Waste Management Remixes. There aren't anymore hard copies. ._.

I'm gonna get 200 Po, the re-release, 200 KM/H, Remixes, D&M, Lyudi Invalidy, Vesyolye Ulybki, and Waste Management!

Lena's my fav. Ivan Shapovalov made them act gay btw, and if Lena and Yulia quit, they'd have to return all the money they got.

They didn't just act gay for attention. As you said, their manager did coerce them into it. But it was symbolic for them. They said it was to give younger teens struggling with sexual orientation someone to look up to, as well as encourage universal love.

That said, I ADORE their music. My favorite song by them is Loves Me Not. <3 Of course All the Things She Said, All About Us, and Stars are also amazing. :D
