– What is your clothing is the most important?
– Shoes.

– Too much. (Juokiasi.) I think the shoes are very important. Can wear whatever you want, but if you ?sispyr?s to “cool” shoes look and feel good.
– How to take care of yourself?
– Over the years, I do still better. Many sleep in and go for a walk several times a week I visit the gym. I learned to listen to your body and if he does not feel well, I try to do something for it to do. In most cases – just relax. It’s funny, but the ability to really relax for me is a big achievement. Now I am much more relaxed than what 20 years of age.

Does anyone know which version of “Stars” played at the soundcheck?
According to comments in TDR there’s heavy metal version of SMT. Just can’t wait to see the videos!
But maybe this audience just wanted to sing and dance and have fun, not take so much pictures or videos. 😮
I would say just heavier/more rock now in the new style 🙂
Here is DFS by Seniszz 🙂
