Valeriya – Russia’s Madonna?

Valeriya is a pop star from Russia who is trying to make herself known in the U.S, the U.K. and around the world. She currently sells out 100,000 seat venues in Russia and hopes to bring her success to the rest of the world. She has been touted as Russia’s Madonna. In an Interview when asked what she thinks when compared to Madonna she said she’s just as popular in Russia as Madonna is in the rest of the World.

Take a look at the first video released from her first single sung in the English Language. Caution: The sound is bit off timing.

I like the video (lots of eye candy) but I really don’t care for her singing style in English. But that just may be this song. It kind of reminds me more Christina Aguilera more than Madonna but Christina has a style and sound that only she can pull off. However, Valeriya sings quite lovely in Russian see the last video in this post. Meanwhile, I think Madonna might have this to say…

Now for Valeriya singing “Rasstavanie” (I’m not sure this is the correct name of the song/video) in her native language with Stas Pieha [???? ?????]. I do not speak Russian but this video is pretty amazing.
