Our YT Choice for the Vid of the Wk - for the First Wk of Feb.2018 - "Russian Chanson 1950 - Klavdya Shulzhenko - What is It:Love?".

        For the first week of Feb. 2018 - we chose  a love chanson uploaded by our friend - Dr.240252 on Jan. 30 - 2018 - titled "Russian Chanson 1950 - Klavdya Shulzenko - What is It: Love?". Klavdya Shulzenko's delivery sounds super smooth, professional and intriguing - she frequently includes simple speech in her songs. Of course - in order for this technique to sound professional - the performer has to have mastered the high art of delivering a song by phrasing correctly - otherwise it will sound stupid and out of place. 
      Only talented and seasoned vocalists can successfully utilize - this seemingly easy - technique of talking while they sing a song. We observed that it is most effective in the chanson genre because it tells a story. 
        Even though Klavdya Shulzhenko was a celebrated Soviet Diva - she didn't seem to excessively cherish her positive attention from the bloody Red Dictator - Joseph Stalin. Needless to say - of course - she couldn't defy him in any manner - however - she didn't endlessly "kiss his ass" for extra perks - either - the way other Soviet stars - did - for which they paid after Stalin's reign was over.
       As we all know - all powerful Karma doesn't overlook anything - so the extremely Stalinist performers eventually had to answer for that - after Stalin - suddenly - died of a stroke which he could have survived - had he not executed a whole bunch of talented physicians - many of them Jewish - not long before he got stricken with a stroke - which ended his grip on power which killed - at least - twenty millions Russians and five million Ukrainians. 
      According to some Stalin's biographers - however - toward the end of his long, ruthless grip on the Russian people - he got paranoid of the possible assassination attempts against him - common in Russian history.
      Back to Klavdya Shulzenko who was hugely popular all her life; her successful career and enormous love from her fans lasted for a long, long time as the thousands of her admirers of all ages - grew - since like some extremely talented performers - she had fans - at times - from three generations of the same families.
      All of us will have a good first week of February 2018 - it's been very cold here in my mountainous turf. The snow - so far - looks picturesque on the hills. Thank God - no ice under the snow which would make driving in the mountains - a big pain "you know where". Let's keep the snow only looking fairy tale - good - so that it doesn't cause any damage.
      We shall meet here next week! Same channel - same time!
