Vitas (The most amazing Russian pop/opera singer in the world)

It is time that I talked about Vitas.

VITAS

The Artist you've been waiting for
The Diamond Voice
"Veni, Vidi, Vinci"

"I came, I saw, I conquered"


Vitas was born in Latvia on Feburary 19th, 1981. He is a singer, composer, fasion designer, and actor. He first appeared singing Opera 2 in Russia in 2000. He has unique stlyle in his singing. He is known for mixing pop and opera, as well as some techno, and hitting amazingly high and difficult notes.

Many people accuse him of lip synching. He doesn't. He proves it in some of his songs by pulling the microphone away from his voice, making the music dissapear, and randomly pulling it back while he's singing catching the noise in mid-note.


He was the 'Russian Citizen of the Year' last year.
















Shores of Russia (I posted it on the second post) is sung by him.

Opera 2

My house has been built but I am alone hereThe door banged behind my backAn autumn wind is knocking on the windowCrying over me all over again...Thunderstorm at night and fog in the morning...The sun has turned completely coldOld pains are following one another Let them all get together!My house has been built but I am alone hereThe door banged behind my backAn autumn wind is knocking on the windowCrying over me all over again...This is Fate and I can't Ask anything of Fate!I just know how the winds Will be wailing after I'm gone

Smile :) Ulybnis (Shows he isn't lip synching)

Smile! If the rain outside the window won't stop...
Smile! If you failed to do something...
Smile! If happiness hid behind the clouds...
Smile! Even if your soul got slightly scratched...
Refrain: (Vocalization)
Smile! And you'll see how everything changes...
Smile! The rain will stop and the ground will dress up in snow...
Smile! And your sorrow will pass by...
Smile! And then your soul will begin to live...
Refrain: (Vocalization)

Russian Project for 1st Quarter

Here it is!

Russia is a country in Northern Asia bordering the Arctic ocean, and extending to Europe and the Northern Pacific Ocean. The absolute location is from 60 degrees North to 100 degrees East. It is the largest country in the world. It is aproxamately 1.8 times bigger than the United States.

Russia's climate is mainly arctic and sub-arctic. It's winters are fridged in Siberia, and cool along the black sea. The summers are warm in the steppes, and cool along the arctic coast. Because if it's crazy climate, it is very hard to grow anything spectacular in Siberia. There is a belt of farmland that streatches from the Europe half of Russia down and across the southern part of Siberia.

Russia's government is now a Federation. It is called the Russian Federation. Their leader is Dmitry Medvedev.
