Talk:Nikita (song)

message: Any ideas on who plays Nikita in this video? --Pinnecco 01:19, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I found out that after the Nikita video, the accress that played Nikita tried to launch a singing career but failed. However, she released a single called Moscow Nights (don't know if it is in fact THE Moscow Nights) and it was a one hit onder in The Netherlands. Ah, her "stage name" was Anya. --Pinnecco 02:07, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

text: The other frequently given answer is that she is Anya Major, a UK model/actress. I've seen claims about her being a "Russian one-hit artist" as well. The Wikipedia article about Anya Major lists her as the actress in this video, with "citation needed". At http://rock.discogs.com/artist/Anya+(2) is is stated that this Russian artist character is just a made-up role for Anya Major.-- era (Talk | History) 14:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Slavic isn't a language according to my sources.  Moreover, Russian is itself a Slavic language, and so the statement doesn't really make any sense at all.  Can anybody enlighten on which Slavic language(s) the referenced webpage is talking about? -- Smjg (talk) 16:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Could it be that there is something wrong in this wikipedia article? I think it is not a Russian border control, because I think it should be a border control in the German Democratic Republic. In the music-video "Nikita" is wearing a uniform of the NVA, or not? And in the video you can also see German signs and words like "Halt" (=stop).

replies: text: In the video it is obviously a GDR station and GDR uniforms. That however says nothing about the song. An East German border guard would not have been called Nikita. Str1977 (talk) 22:37, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

message: Nik Kershaw is named as one of the background singers (next to George Michael) in the Song synopsis section, but not in the Personnel section. Can anyone find out which is correct? I like these kind of details.
On the Wikipedia page about the album 'Fire on Ice' Nik Kershaw is listed as a guitarist, not a vocalist, without specifying which song or songs he contributed to.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.103.25.233 (talk) 19:22, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Thank you to whoever put in the information on the time of the song and other musical facts (and it's written in a way that people with just a small amount of musical training can understand).  This sort of information is missing from almost all Wik articles on pop music.  Maybe the person who did it here can go to other sites and add that information.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.53.191.77 (talk) 21:12, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

message: There is something really not right.
For example:
: In interviews on the time the song was released as a single, John was aware that Nikita was a male name, to avoid heavy speculations that he was really gay (He was married to Renate Blauel during that time), and this song was a very revolutionary song during the Cold War
That is not a sentence!!!!  
I have no idea what that's trying to say
There have been lots of recent changes to this page by .
Can we get some more eyeballs on this? 
Otherwise, we might want to give this page the cleanup tag, but hopefully that's not necessary.
