![]() ![]() ![]() Here is a testimony from one of his fans in Moscow called Irina, as presented on his website: His album A Kiss As Long As Eternity sold more than 2 million copies in less than half a year. He is also a fashion designer, having presented his Autumn Dreams collection in 2002, again, at the Kremlin. He was MTV Asia's best foreign performer in 2011. He is the youngest artist to have ever performed solo at the Kremlin. He is recognised as Russia's most prolific live performer between the years of 20. This is the trailer for his 2003 Baltic tour. While the version embedded above is probably the Vitas video you'll have seen, it's worth having a look at this one as well. The song is actually called "7th Element," and the performer's name is Vitas. Why use the phrase Western world? Well because it was already pretty well-known elsewhere. Supposedly following its posting by the Facebook page of American TV show The Soup, the song's chorus has become known all over the Western world. It's this experience that has turned the performance into the anonymous phenomenon that it is. You find yourself listening to the whole track, long after the laughter stops. It's other-worldly, enchanting, and inhuman. Quite out of nowhere, this strange Macaulay Culkin lookalike in a sequined suit opens his mouth to reveal what can only be described as: "ah oh ah, ah oh ah, ah oh ah, ah oh ah ah, blululululu, ah oh ah." Your first response is to laugh, because it's funny right? The silly high voice? But then, strangely you find yourself welling up, because it isn't just funny, it's beautiful. The throbbing trance pads, the flat claps, the ethereal backing singer, and then that voice….that chorus. The chances are you will definitely have seen that video before. ![]()
