I touch myself

After Dima Bilan, probably the biggest male Russian pop star in Sergey Lazarev, formerly of homoerotic boyband SMASH!! Sergey, 24, left the pop duo in 2004, just a week after the release of their final album, leaving his band mate Vlad Topalov to carry on under the SMASH!! name by himself. Apparently Vlad's father, the manager of the group, was so pissed off he used his connections to try and make it difficult for Sergey to forge a career as a solo artist.
Nevertheless Sergey's first solo album Don't Be Fake was released in 2005, and in 2006 he took part in the reality show Dancing on Ice. The show was a bit hit and Sergey managed to finish in second place, further boosting his profile and popularity among the Russian public. His management realised what an effective promotional tool the show was, and earlier this year entered Sergey into the reality show Circus with the Stars. Sergey proved to be an all-rounder and natural in most of the circus acts ended up winning the show.

In June Sergey released his second solo album, TV Show, which included his hit single, a cover of the Johnny Hates Jazz song Shattered Dreams, which is very good, and apparently reached number 14 in the British club chart. His best song is Don't Be Fake with it's classic lyrics: "Now take your hand I'll slip it / into my hand just kick it / just pull it down, unzip it / I touch myself."
