What fresh hell is this.
And just when did the world turn into a surrealist's drugged nightmare?

transfatz December 14, 2010 at 5:37 am

1965 I believe.

Serolf_Divad December 13, 2010 at 11:20 am

Video is blocked at work. Was B.B. King backing him on balalaika?

Monsieur_Grumpe December 13, 2010 at 11:53 am

Then this is one of the few cases where a corporation is sincerely looking out for your better interests.

Crank_Tango December 13, 2010 at 11:23 am

Wow. Who lip syncs to people standing on the stage with them? Scary, scary KGB dictators, that's who.

SorosBot December 13, 2010 at 11:25 am

I was about to criticize his piano and singing skills, but then realized I don't want polonium in my soup.

Not_So_Much December 13, 2010 at 11:35 am

Good point. It may add flavor, but the aftertaste is a bitch.

meufchelou December 13, 2010 at 11:26 am

I'm Russian. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly serfs?

Monsieur_Grumpe December 13, 2010 at 11:27 am

That was painful. If Nicholas II & family witnessed this they would have begged for the firing squad.

In Soviet Russia, bad singer make Simon Cowell cry.

metamarcisf December 13, 2010 at 11:30 am

Russia's Got Talent. Even better, a duet with John Ashcroft on "Where Eagles Soar"

Not_So_Much December 13, 2010 at 11:34 am

That's when you know you've consolidated every conceivable drop of power. You can cruise around with your man-boobs hanging out, and then go on national teevee and warble badly and *still*, nobody dares fuck with you.

Negropolis December 14, 2010 at 2:29 am

It's absolutely hilarious 'cause it's true.

JoeMamased December 13, 2010 at 11:35 am

In Russia, Blueberry Hill finds thrill on you.

Do Yacov-Smirnoff-style jokes ever get old?

Seriously…

MLHencken December 13, 2010 at 12:05 pm

Not as long as the /yakov tag is used.

GOPCrusher December 13, 2010 at 3:24 pm

In Branson, olds get Yakov Smirnov jokes.

MARCdMan December 13, 2010 at 11:37 am

It's good to be the king.

angryclownspawn December 13, 2010 at 11:39 am

Talk about a missed opportunity! Think of the impact if he'd have been topless on a horse.

Monsieur_Grumpe December 13, 2010 at 11:50 am

Looks and sounds like the first round rejects American Idol reunion.

SexySmurf December 13, 2010 at 12:52 pm

It still wasn't as terrible as Gwyneth Paltrow singing "Fuck You" on Glee.

MLHencken December 13, 2010 at 11:52 am

Next up he will draft an entire regiment to stage his own production of Happy Days.

Putin will, of course, be playing Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli.

charlesdegoal December 13, 2010 at 11:55 am

In front of the likes of Gerard Depardieu and Sharon Stone, to boot. Sarkozy must be dying to do the same, God spare us!
It all amounts to a depressing reminder of how our leaders don't give a fuck about anything besides their own power and glory.

LionelHutzEsq December 13, 2010 at 12:01 pm

Less singing, more bear wrestling!

hagajim December 13, 2010 at 12:13 pm

Barry will be singing "I fought the Law" pretty soon.

elviouslyqueer December 13, 2010 at 12:18 pm

Heh. Although "The Thrill is Gone" works well too. Also, as well.

Thurman Munster IV December 13, 2010 at 12:15 pm

Before the revolution, there was nothing here. Seems like there still isn't

MaggiesFarmboy December 13, 2010 at 12:21 pm

That's nothing. In Soviet Canuckistan, the Prime Minister ruins every song you ever loved:

GodShammgod December 13, 2010 at 12:36 pm

Not impressed. If he sings Trolololololo, then we're in business.

SexySmurf December 13, 2010 at 12:47 pm

Palin could hear this from her house.

metamarcisf December 13, 2010 at 12:57 pm

Putin's performance in the "arabian" segment of fellow commie Tschakovsky's "Nutcracker" more than offsets his butchering of Antoine Domino's hit.

Guppy06 December 13, 2010 at 1:40 pm

Butchering things is just what the man does. Can you really be surprised?

ttommyunger December 13, 2010 at 2:16 pm

Suspicions confirmed, this fucker is definitely in the closet. I've always suspected a J . Edgar Hoover/Clyde Tolson thing going on there with Putin and his cute little sidekick, now I'm sure of it.

Gopherit December 13, 2010 at 3:18 pm

That performance sucked, but anyone who didn't clap should have checked their water with a geiger counter.

MiniMencken December 13, 2010 at 3:32 pm

Удалой молодец, Володя!

mereoblivion December 13, 2010 at 4:22 pm

I gave you a point so I could pretend I can read Rooskie. (Pretend to whom, exactly?)

MiniMencken December 13, 2010 at 6:42 pm

Anna Chapman? Sasha Pivovarova? Milla Jovovich? Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova in t.A.T.u? Or me, ya big lug?

Extemporanus December 13, 2010 at 3:34 pm

mereoblivion December 13, 2010 at 4:25 pm

Ain't that a Позор?

SudsMcKenzie December 13, 2010 at 3:56 pm

Nyet, singing, shirtless, this man is no Hassellhoff.

jerry_dixon December 13, 2010 at 4:20 pm

Mneh. I'd be far more impressed if he sang the birthday song of Krokodil Gena:

mereoblivion December 13, 2010 at 4:25 pm

Needs more Minnie Driver in Goldeneye. Way, way more.

Jason_inthe_Peg December 13, 2010 at 5:03 pm

I know you haters got to hate but what I want to know is what does the Beiber think of it?

straighteight December 13, 2010 at 5:11 pm

There has never been a theater more in need of nerve gas.

Negropolis December 14, 2010 at 2:36 am

I didn't think it was possible to hate Kevin Costner anymore, and then he done went and did it.

transfatz December 14, 2010 at 5:24 am

I knew right then that he would never have me shot several times in the elevator.

CaptainSwing2nd December 14, 2010 at 6:48 am

He should stick to standing in the river half nekkid, wrestling passing fish, as long as he can resist the temptation to serenade them – U.N. sanctions have been applied for lesser acts of cruelty.

largefooted December 14, 2010 at 3:33 pm

Is it just me or do some of the celebrities in the crowd look scared to death about what will happen if they don't stand up and clap?

NorthStarSpanx December 15, 2010 at 9:22 am

Come on, Bill Clinton wasn't any better honking his sax on Arsenio Hall's show, but we all bought into the novelty of the act. He was a r'il guy we could have play after a few beers at our house parties.

I was waitin for Sarah to pull out the ol flute in Haiti, but she was too busy keeping her hands sterile from teh joyful cholera-stricken blackies.
