Alsou also gave Maxim an interview. In it she discusses her typical day, explain how today she woke up, had to go to the studio do stuff and then started preparing for the concert before going to the office to do several interview. Although it's not all glamour for Alsou as, when questioned, she tells how instead of eating out she had to have dinner in the office. She then goes on to discuss dealing with the Press, in particular they constant referral to being called a Russian Britney. " This astonishes and irritates me. In my view, we are totally different", she explains before asking what they'd expect Britney to say if she was called an "American Alsou"? This leads onto the Press always wanting to know details of her personal life, a subject which Alsou tries to keep exactly that - personal. Moving onto the subject of her image, which is generally that of a modest woman, she explains how she manages to do that natural as she is aware what is and isn't possible for her and jokes that it's "not in the sense that dad monitors the length of skirts".

Alsou then had to deal with the question of which men does she find more interesting - Russian or English, to which she explained that she liked both saying " I do not have national prejudices in this question" although she was more likely to marry a Russian person. She then answers the question of how does the ordinary person try to ask her out and how for most part it is on the telephone either phoning or sending a message, however she doesn't talk with people she doesn't know "whether the person is a maniac or still worse - journalist!". She goes on to explain how most of her acquaintances are through friends. On being asked whether she'd always had such close attention from males, Alsou explained " All adolescents have this ugly period from 13 to 15 years old. I also got it then as well... But after I was 15 it all sorted itself out, and at the same time it began to sing. Although the attention from the side of opposite sex was always there, when I became known, began the hysteria." Finally, when asked whether she'd like to exchange all the hysteria to be able to go to the cinema or sit in a café, she replies "Certainly, sometimes..."
