Separated at Birth?

[Sorry, I can't resist...]

Brit indie darling Sam Duckworth...






...and liminally-gendered, "heterosexual" estrada superstar Filipp Kirkorov?









Get Cape.  Wear Cape.  Fly, "Daylight Roberry" (Duckworth's previous band)




Kraak & Smaak (feat. Duckworth), "Good for the City" (it's Jamiroquai-rific)


филипп Киркоров, "Жестокая любовь" (Filipp Kirkorov, "Zhestokaia liubov'"/"Cruel Love") (one of his bigger hits


"Снег" ("Sneg"/"Snow") (sure to appeal to straight men everywhere)


"Посмотри, какое лето" ("Posmotri, kakoi leto"/"Look, What a Summer") (with wife, mega-superstar Alla Pugacheva; and a happily married couple they are)


Kirkorov at a concert, lip-synching, but someone in the sound booth must have recorded (and leaked) the actual audio (not what the audience heard).  Ouch.


One of the Kirkorov scandals, at a press conference with protege Anastasiia Stotskaia, fielding questions from journalist Irina Aroian.  The fun starts around 2:50.  Find a Russian friend to translate.

And here, an item from the TV "magazine" И Снова здравствуйте (I snova zdravstvuite/And Hello Again) in which the Russian press, again, constructs a more "acceptable" Kirkorov - here by revealing the "love affair" between the Svengali and the protege (Stotskaia).  Uh-huh.
(For some reason, YouTube won't allow embedding of the video.  Strange.)
