Russia's Got Talent: Extra video of Putin singing & playing piano for charity

RT brings you more video moments of Vladimir Putin playing the piano and singing on stage. Russian Prime Minister made his audience sit up and take note, as he sang at a charity fundraiser. The reception at an ice stadium in St. Petersburg was dedicated to fighting children's cancer. International celebrities including Kevin Costner, Gerard Depardieu, Mickey Rourke, Sharon Stone, Kurt Russell, Vincent Cassel, Monica Belucci, Ornella Muti, Goldie Hawn and many others attended the benefit concert. "Like the majority of people I cannot -- but do like to sing and to play -- so you'll have to rough it," he warned as he sat at the piano and played the beginning of Blueberry Hill. The tune was immediately caught by Maceo Parker's jazz band. The prime minister then took the mic and sang it in English himself. Putin returned to the piano to sing in Russian "From What the Homeland Starts" -- the song he sang with the exposed Russian agents. The audience loved his performance and showed their appreciation with a standing ovation and applause. Many recorded the one man show on their mobile phones. When the concert was over Putin took Sharon Stone by the arm and together with other guests they went on stage to sing a Russian song about cosmonauts, "Grass Near Home".

Yeltsin sings better! Especially when he is drunk.

[MrVirtualCoder]

I heard.. that Putin has eyes of lasors! That he can tremble an entire nation by his mere will! That he alone sustains all of Russia by his words alone. I hear about how he was born in the mountains of Russia, fighting wild grown bears and eating bear cubs for breakfast, how the US exists because he has a soft heart that allows of people such as Americans to exist.
