My whole childhood was connected with stage, audience, happiness of victory and goal achieving, wish of self-perfection, when I had to go through failures and defeats. But I never doubted that I will proceed with music activity, moreover, I never even thought about this, I just knew it is going to be like this and in no other way, says Lazarev.

And everything Sergey has done by the present time, proves his words the best way. Sergey and his friends were part from the Neposedy (Trotters) children group (the girls from t.A.T.u also sang in this group, and Julia Volkova is Sergeys halfsister) and one of them, Vlad Topalov decided to sing in a duet and recorded the aria BELLE from the musical Notre Dame De Paris.

Within a short period this aria recorded by the new duet became a hit, and that moment was a new step in Sergeys career as a singer in SMASH!! duet. The video Belle remained the leader of MTV-Russia chart for 6 months, and entered the Top 20 of Videos of the last five years.

No he is NOT gay!!

Some reasons for Sergey NOT BEING GAY:

1. (i think) he was kissing with Kseniya Sobchak not long time ago - they are "cute" to each other
2. He dances hot on the stage.. if he would be gay he could not do stuff like that!!
3. his style does not look like a style of a gay xD
hm anything else.. oh the most important

HE MUST NOT OR WELL HE IS NOT GAY CAUSE HE IS SO DAMM CUTE AND HOT!!! xD

Lazarev113 · Big Fan

I don't think that he's gay hmm

Valentina · Forum Administrator

Well Meredith you don't have to worry about that :D he is defenitely NOT gay :)

Now i can confirm that he has a girlfriend or well a person with whom he is.. and that person would be Lera

Watch Sergey and Lera on "Zvezdniy led" and you'll now what i am talking about! :D

They look so cute together, but, Lera is (as far as i know) already 37 years old!! i was shocked when i read that!! xD :D But i guess Sergey is one of that person who doesn't care about years in love :)

All man singers tell that they are gay...
I also hate these storyes if like Dima tells that he is Gay but he have the girlfriend and what else u wanna see...

Valentina · Forum Administrator

Yea.. they're cute together :)

I also hate that kind of things! -my opinion is that it doesn't matter if your favorite singer is gay or has a girlfriend, after all you are never probably gonna date or well be with him! :)

Lidi · New Fan

Sergey not the gay.
Though what for to whom that to prove and explain? Everyone will agree to differ.
And these discussions since 2002. Only all has calmed down, and here again...

P.S. Forgive for mine not competent speech.)))
