Russian singer Tatyana Bulanova recently acknowledged that she has no intention of stopping her stage performances, even when certain songs feel repetitive to her, with “My Clear Light” being a prime example. The disclosure came during a candid conversation with the publication Arguments and Facts.
“Sure, it can get monotonous when you belt out a single track for nearly three decades, sometimes performing it several times in a day. Yet, out of respect for the audience, I will not retire it. If people want to hear that song, I will sing it,” she explained, noting that her personal enjoyment may not always mirror the public enthusiasm for the tune.
Bulanova added that her current main yardstick for choosing material is the opinion of her husband. When he approves a song, it often proves to be a crowd-pleaser, and its success tends to come as a pleasant surprise to her, she said.
The 54-year-old performer also addressed rumors about balancing family life with touring. She previously indicated that she did not intend to take maternity leave even if she welcomed children with her new spouse, Valery Rudnev, a 35-year-old businessman. Bulanova reflected on a long history of mixing stage commitments with family responsibilities, noting that she began her first marriage while still living with her parents and welcomed a child not long after. She later remarried and, after some time, had a son while continuing to perform without pause. This pattern of balancing career and home life is something she has grown accustomed to over more than three decades, and she posed the question to herself about whether this approach might still be the right path for her—an honest reflection on personal choices and the realities of life on the road.
In related notes, previous reports stirred speculation about the singer’s private life, including whispers about possible secret nuptials. Bulanova has consistently handled such rumors with a calm, steady approach, keeping the focus on her work and family rather than on sensational headlines. Analysts observing her career have highlighted how her willingness to adapt—while staying true to her audience’s expectations—has kept her relevant across generations. The dynamic between public performance and private life remains a recurring theme in interviews and profiles, underscoring Bulanova’s experience navigating fame in the soundscape of contemporary pop music.
