Filipp Bedrosovich Kirkorov (Russian: Филипп Бедросович Киркоров; born 1967 in Varna, Bulgaria) - one of the top Russian pop-singers and ex-husband of Alla Pugacheva (1994-2005).
[edit] Biography
Filipp Kirkorov was born in Varna to Bulgarian father (Bedros) and Russian mother (Victoria). Kirkorov is known in Russia and the former soviet countries for his flamboyant, even theatrical stage clothes and has benefited greatly from his marriage to Alla Pugachova, appearing frequently on Russian television in variety shows featuring her and the group of artistes associated with her. His musical style is generic Russian pop music with occasional Turkish and Western influences and, like many Russian pop stars of the 90's and later, he frequently records duets with other artistes working in the same field.
[edit] Scandals
Kirkorov is also famous for a very popular scandal in Rostov-on-Don, 2004. At the press conference he insulted (using Russian obscene language) a female journalist, who asked earlier about the plenty of remakes in his repertoire. The case lead to the major response and discussions in the mass media.
Kirkorov is also known for lip-syncing on his concerts. Like many Russian singers, he performs to the pre-recorded songs by baically standing on the stage and opening his mouth to the songs.
