Emin does.

“I don’t think any successful people are interested in buying sex,” Emin told us. WATCH More on Russia HERE: bit.ly/2zsZfue

[@SAFbikes]

i cant BELIEVE those trumps pulled a Clinton and forgot everything while testifying :0 AND I WANTED HILLARY TO WIN!!!!!

[@loudmanCA]

Emin must not know who Stormy Daniels is...?

[@janroach1852]

LOL, I have to respond to this one. NO AMOUNT OF MONEY could entice me to sleep with Agent Orange. Rarely have I seen a more repulsive, obese man in my entire life. He is hideous. As far as "successful" once the Russian mob drops him as a vehicle for their money laundering, he has nothing. I would be very surprised if Semion hasn't dropped him by now as he is hot so to speak. Semion is supposed to be the "brainy don." I never knew of Semion's existence before the Trump investigation. Now Russian mob figure's names are in the news 24/7. Someone dropped the ball here big time. Trump will bring everyone down, not just our country.

I smell Hillary's dirty depends all over this story NO COLLUSION Hillary got 144 million and funneled the money through her no fraudulent foundation.

Бери Перу ... ОНИ ПОГОРЯЧЕЕ И ТАМ ЗУБЫ 😆😇😇😇 А НОГИ 😨😋😙😙😙

[@sporadikstyles]

LOL people must be too afraid to tell him he can't sing. That was hilarious.

[@angielagou]

Sporadik Styles he thinks he sounds legendary 🤣👏🏼🤣👏🏼

[@amallen94]

I heard the mainstream recordings, and he sounded great. His songs were also awesome as well.....but it had occured to me that it was very likely to have been tune edited.....and this video seems to just confirm my suspicion.

[@Erik_Emer]

Well, it's just like China. If you entertain, you're immediately rich. And then you'll get richer every time. Doesn't matter what the raw input is. The product is the real deal. And then the other 99% of the population only makes enough to live day by day.

[@lolerie]

@@angielagou No he sings perfectly... Really, try it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e322YaCva8lqnck kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqiQmo2eoNRng8U (first is one I like most)

[@aaronshields8135]

@2:36 he has a voice only millions of dollars can digitally correct

[@Ainiewainy]

Sadly this is typical for most rich kids. Because they never learn no, parents in the end give up saying negative stuff. And everyone else he employs probably like the money so don't say it either... but dang it! He cannot sing!

[@dobriygoodwin87]

I am Russian, and I see him first time

[@devantes764]

So funny cus its true

[@Casey5693]

LOL! I know, right? I hear his voice and I recoil at the lack of talent.

He wouldn't be sharing this unless His daddy and Putin wanted him to.

Good point

[@super-vb6lj]

He is not Russian.

[@Arthur-Silva]

Thank goodness for auto tune! LOL

[@Arthur-Silva]

Well VICE, you did it. That’s the beginning of his musical career in the USA. As if America didn’t have enough pop music garbage already.

[@FPVREVIEWS]

With auto tune, you can even make Trump sound innocent...

[@sporadikstyles]

lmao

[@Ainiewainy]

Autotune.... and a whole lot of cleaning up the sound! Because him singing in the mic didn't sound even close to what they played later on! Maybe he should focus on some singing lessons or something, something that's not milking his connection to Trump for a minute in the spotlight!

[@axelmckinney]

Why bother with singing lessons when you could just drop a couple million on sound clean and make 20 mill off of it.

[@axelmckinney]

The rich get richer and the poor well you know.

[@wannaliveinfairytale]

I like how Russians in comments like, oh I don’t know who he is😂😂 are you serious? He is in fact a pop star, I left Russia in 2011 and even I know who he is. He owns Major Moscow shopping malls and a whole super expensive village in Moscow suburbs. He is not the best singer but he is a really nice guy, spends billions of Russian rubles for charity, my friend was working at Russian shelters and his family spends a lot of money helping them. He is well raised( in NJ) , educated, and super rich.

[@eminagalarov2278]

I want to Specially appreciate you for being a big fan Thanks for your nice comment on my post, it means a lot to me. I want you to send me a direct message via hangouts using my personal email or you can as well indicated below. Also endeavor to add your name to the text so I can know you are the one texting because I don't reply unnecessary messages Hangouts mail: [e-mail]

[@jenisedai]

Holy crap he can't sing.

[@jenisedai]

He's flat in every language. He's why they invented Auto Tune.

[@lolerie]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/e322YaCva8lqnck

[@david0aloha]

He seems clever. Also, why would they be talking about how he can make his break into the US for the first time only now on camera? No way that wasn't done explicitly to make this burst of media attention look like a good thing for him. No one has that many assets without being somewhat involved in the business that generates those assets. Especially not in Russia where the person above the oligarchs is Putin and he allows them their fortunes for stability and political favors.

[@Casey5693]

He has a voice only his mother and Jesus could love.

[@shadow.banned]

Want pop star, son? Okay, I make you pop star. I murder record label head or two, you become pop star next week, no problem.

[@lolerie]

WTF! He sings nice.

[@grounghogdog8544]

Who the fook is that guy?! I live in Moscow and I’ve never heard of him before this.

[@super-vb6lj]

He is from Azerbaijan. But he lives in Russia.

[@sergeybebenin]

Is he seriously a pop singer or it's a joke? Sounds like karaoke lol

[@zabavnaya-xt8tb]

Emin is so talented, he's a singer. He ain't a politician, please stop making up hoaxes and gossips.

[@boredsilly3]

lol Emin is really feeling himself here, even while lying to the cameras

[@mythikoni7543]

Could the music video actually be an admission of what happened that night in Moscow?

[@sissyroxx]

Yes. And a not so veiled threat

[@manjsher3094]

I accuse him of damaging my hearing. Just saying

[@3ric585]

Vice, what is the background instrumental that plays at 9:59 - 10:50 ? Lol

[@TonyPlease]

lol this guy meets so many people and expect him to remember some random guys name from a meeting.

[@timur8141]

He is not russian he is azerbaijani

[@wendyalexander5342]

No wonder Trump wants to make his acquaintance. His hotels need an uplift.

[@vusalzeynalov1073]

[@austinkelly5441]

So his manager Goldstone created the music video idea as his way of capitalizing on this situation.

[@Erik_Emer]

3:36 Why the hell is the address being revealed?

[@davidkelkins510]

Interesting stuff!

[@nathanstephens5176]

If they had a Russian version of The Office I know a role Emin would be completely at home with.

[@Erik_Emer]

Is it me, or is his ability to speak English really quickly with an accent (which causes more abrupt transitions from words) giving anyone AMSR?

[@Erik_Emer]

99.99% of comments: he can't sing Me: 0:39 That glass isn't dry...

[@Dr.eggeaterr101]

This dide is not Russian, he carries a Russian passport but he’s Azerbaijani...!

And not all the money in the world can make him sound hot

[@ivantnt26]

So Vice is helping Emin to get exposure in the states ? lol

[@likyliky7867]

they gotta do the news tho, i didnt know about this b4 so its only fair

[@Ms2cents]

At 12:50, about the meeting, he said it’s about nothing. If you noticed, his eyes started looking to the left. He’s lying in a subtle way. Btw, when he was in the studio, he sounded bad. He can’t sing but towards the end, he sings like auto tune

[@ARS-vs6kx]

Wow, as an Iranian aze(a)ri, they guy is well spoken in English though for some weird reason you can not detect his Russian/Turkish accent singing in English...........quite interesting........BTW: I LOVE ACCENTS....:) INCLUDING MINE :)

[@BOONDAAo]

i read a book about this scandal it said that emin grew up in new jersey

[@Gigachad-bv8zr]

because you are IRANIAN azeri so it's only you having accent, regular azeris don't have any

[@frombaku9419]

He is not "iranian" idiot! He is Azerbaijani singer and lives in Russia

So Rat Boy was moping around in the background proves he is lying about knowing who he is?! I suspect there were MANY times Trump didn't introduce Cohen to his guests or if he did in passing, they would make note of it!

To be fair. You can listen to him live on KZbin, a good jazz voice. His voice is very deep. He's versatile but he is very inconsistent. He did sound awful here.

I'll bet he wishes he never got involved with this meeting on "child adoptions" as Trump first said but Emin really said it was about the Magniskey Act! They all knew they were doing the Kremlin a favor. He is getting way out of his depth here are just an entertainer and playboy! I find him a handsome likeable fellow.

I’m for neither side on this matter, but I do find this funny as vices journalism on this matter has been non-stop but have yet created only a handful of video just mentioning the email scandal from Hillary Clinton. Ik it may not be too relevant but the point would be there reluctance to stop looking into this matter opposed to them even attempting to post about Hillary clinton. I sense bias in this and most of vices work
