I was just sittin here and for the first time read your profile and it moved me so much. I've been through all that you speak of.........I'm sorry for all of the things you feel. The lonliness WOW!!! thats hard cuz its there even with many people around. I'm just now starting to find me. I always knew that i was a great person on the inside, but my soul was hurt and needed to heal ( stil am ) and all of my life I've been told many times that Im beautiful,georgious,sexy, exotic......ext!!! I do know that now, and my pics. do me no justice, maybe someday i can get them done prof.
Anyway for the first time in my whole life, I look in the mirror and I see it. I think WOW!!!!!
So, I know your busy, I just had to tell ya that I felt you in my soul !!!!
Take Care " LIVE-LOVE-LAUGH "

I just wanted to say that I voted for you on Americas Got Talent and I love your stuff it is great!!!! One day I hope to see you live.
-Joanna
OMG So My husband and I took our trip to Russia. We went to a place called Tula and a place called Kazan. Wow you come from such an incredible country. It was so beautiful and the people we're so nice. I was in awe the whole two weeks we were there. Our car broke down and everyone was so willing to help. Def. dont get that in the USA. I always had it in my head Russians were assholes (no offense) but many of my russian friends were. You must be so proud to come from such a great country
-John
I'd love to see you in your pink undies and high - heeled go-go shoes, though! Come on over, and I'll even cook you dinner, too!
Love you!
-Krystyn"
You're a wonderful guy Leo with a gigantic heart - never change.
AND.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!"
-Elia
Happy (early) birthday, Leonid! You're an amazing person; don't ever change for anyone!
-Love, Anna :)
You are not a jerk. You are wonderful, and loved by a lot of people. You were right to tell people to change their password.
Admiringly,
-Victoria (aka Kali Goddess of Destruction)
"Hey Leonid!
Yes! We all get this annoying 'Macys' thing. I think it IS spam. No good to me anyway in the UK!!!
Hope you are having a good day and looking forward to your birthday!
I would buy you some very PINK and SEXY underwear, but only if I got a private viewing!! lol
Anyway
lots of love and *hugs* to you...
-Maddiexx"
I though you were fantastic on the show!
-Kanga
I loved seeing all your wonderful photos from your Las Vegas show! I LOVE your gladiator costume and hope we get to see more of the performance sometime on video. I'm so sorry I don't live closer to San Francisco, I'd love to see your upcoming show.
Big hugs and much love,

you're awfully sweet too...

Dear Leonid,
Hello my name is Shannon. I wanted to tell you my daughter and think your great. My daughter Kylie who was 5 when we first saw you on Americas got talent, would cry if you weren't on she adores you. I hope your doing well and keep up the good work, you are wonderful.
-Shannon
don't you do beacher's show here in vegas? i saw you on tv the other day too. you look like you'd be fun to party with lol
-Linds
10. 01. 07
-WOW
I just read the answers to the interview questions. I can now only hope that I will be able to make the people that are listening to my speech realize what a truely beautiful heart you have. You leave me in amazement.
Not only have you earned the title MAGNIFICENT while you are on stage doing all the things that you are so good at doing, but when the make-up is off and the curtains are drawn, during the times when you are not the actor, dancer, singer, or clown. It is then that we see what is truely magnificent about you. A kind, gentle, loving, open, and honest heart.
Leonid if you ever need someone to talk to in fact if you ever need anything in the world that I can possibly do for you please don't think twice about asking. I hope that someday somewhere I will have the honor to meet you and to call you my friend.
Big Hugs,
-Donna Jennings

-just want to wish you all the best Leonid. I watched you on America's Got Talent - you should have won!!
Your speech about 'waiting 32 years for this' was just incredible and so sincere.
Never give up! Keep your eyes on the prize. You must come to the UK, you should get in contact with TV companies in London GMTV, BBC Breakfast. We have a gay candidate running for Mayor of London -a former senior police officer Brian Paddick, announce you want to back him, great publicity for you honey. So take care and all the very best.
Me, I'm a journalist here in London following my dreams too!

-Dear Taras,
Thank you so much for the excellent job you do! I admire your work with Leonid, and Leo - Leopatra. Your shows are fantastically over-the-top, and very unique. Every time I watch one of your videos I know I'll be seeing something I have never seen before! That is a rare ability in showmanship, and to be respected.
Thank you!
-Krystyn
-Dear Leonid:
Good grief, you're a much better singer than the Hoff! I cringed during his big number on the "America's Got Talent" finale and commented bitterly to my mother, "I can't believe he had the nerve to knock Leonid. Leonid's 10 times more talented than he is!" You've also got more style. And a better wardrobe.
Anyway, still saving myself for you.
Love,
-Amélie
(the Poet in Los Angeles)
Hi Leonid,
I think you are so cute. I loved you on America's got talent. Is Sharon as nice as she seems.
-Mattie
-Hi Leonid,
You truly were Magnificent on America's Got Talent,
and I wanted to let you know that I rooted for you all
the way. David and Piers were so rude to you but you
stood up to them with grace. You really are passionate
towards what you do in life and I really find you
entertaining to watch. Big things are going to happen
to you in the near future. I really want to see you on
the third America's Got Talent. I know that David and
Piers don't like you, but dammit you are so flamboyant
and you really make the show enjoyable to watch. YOU
NEED TO COME BACK!!
On another note, on wikipedia it says that you are
originally from Siberia. I am curious to know what
part. I lived for a little over two years in
Novosibirsk. I have friends there and I was married to
a Siberian woman from there. Anyway, love ya babe,
keep doing what you're doing. Take care.
Yours Sincerely,
-Ben Keech
-Taras,
-I love the costumes! I saw the new feature on Leo-Leopatra, and you have really outdone yourself! You are a fabulous designer, and I wish you a lot of success with your product launch!
-Krystyn
08. 27. 07.
I love this guy! He can make you laugh and make you cry. Got to take my hat off to him...most people cannot do that.
I've gotta admit, that takes balls.
well this guy can make one hell of an impromptu speech!
(this is referring to your 'Do you remember your first audion? ....' speech. I think your speech was much more impressive than what many others said after they were insulted by Piers.)
-I think these comments show people think you have good acting skills! Yes I think you can do many different roles: the fragile fallen angel, the spine-chilling demon, the rakish casanova, or the open-faced guileless young man you'd-take-home-to-mom, etc... Most importantly you're very good at eliciting strong responses from the audience--be it hilarity, desire, admiration or sympathy... No one else can steal the stage from you when you're on it.
-Yanny.
08. 26. 07
Hi Leonid!
I had emailed before but I think I emailed a "fake" just wanted to let you know you are fabulous and talented and we loved you on AGT. You should have won!!
If you ever find yourself in Upstate NY-Adirondacks / Lake George area, look me up! This is my home stomping grounds, born and rainsed here! Probably not as exciting as NYC, but it is beautiful and peaceful.
We'd be happy to show you our beautiful area!!!
Take Care and Stay Magnificent!!!!!
-Marla Meyers
-indeed i will say yes leo..love to have you as a friend and wish so much to stay in touch and meet in LA or NY or even italy:)
-antonio
-You should definitely come soon!
My boyfriend is actually the one who introduced you to me.
He thinks you're amazing.
You were the main reason we even watched America's Got Talent.
I hope you're doing well.
-Jessica R
-Hello Mr. Magnificent
I have been looking for inspiration to write music for a while, and I think I just found it. I was wondering if you would by chance let me put together a song for you, and if you like it, it would be to call your own.
Honestly, I just want to be able to associate myself with you on some level, and I thought through music would be the best possible way.
So, if there is any chance you would be interested, maybe take a minute and listen to a few of the tracks I've already made.. tell me if you like the style of a certain one in perticular (by the way, listening to your song I'd say maybe the one labled "I'm never any good with...") And yeah I would love to put something together. At the moment, I'm pretty busy but I'm thinking that I can have my creative juices flowing by sometime next week.
Wuv,
-Eli

-Dear Leonid,
My partner and I watched you perform on the America's Got Talent program for the last 2 seasons and were so taken with you, we just had to write.
You, of course, have talent in both acrobatics and style. The narrow-minded comments and ridicule that you were subjected to was shocking. What struck me was how you conducted yourself. Brilliant! Class all the way. You are a true professional, that is clear, but it goes so much further than that. You have the dignity of someone who has suffered many hurtful encounters and yet has rose to heights that the name slingers wouldn't even recognize. I watched in awe as you collected yourself with dignity and poise when part of your costume became entangled in your swing, and judges and audience alike felt it was hunting season on you. How proud I was of you to stand your ground and let America know that they really were watching a talent contest filled with superb acts. Bravo to you, Sir. With great respect and enjoyment,
-Elaine and Joan Fugina
-"I worship the ground you walk on!!! You are GLORIOUS!!"
- Mary Sue
-"I thought that your performance on AGT was absolutely wonderous! I'll be looking forward to any future appearances.

08. 23. 07
-Hello Leonid,
I just wanted to tell you how much joy you bring to me.
I am also an artist, floral and painter but pretty much totally understand where you are coming from. You are one of a kind. You can be sexy, both femine and masculine, funny, sensitive, and serious all at the same time. It is up to the recipient of your talent to draw from it what they wish. I don..t think I have ever seen another performer capable of doing that. I watch your
video clips whenever I need cheering up. You are absolutely beautiful, inside and out. More people need the kind of understanding that you have been able to
acquire and project. You are absolutely adorable and incredible. I live near Palm Springs, California. I think there might be a very good market for your show here.
I know you appear at Beecher..s sometimes, but please
let all of your fans know when you publicly appear so we can enjoy you in person. I am having a hard time finding that information. I will drive into Vegas to see you when you are there. Again, Thank you so much for the smile you bring to me.
-Mary Schulz
-LEONID!! You are fucking Amazing. Don't ever stop what your doing, you're showing people that whoever you are is what you are. And, that's whats important. =]]
-♥ Shellseamarie.
-Oh, I loved your fashion show!!!!!!!! I wish your company would do your own review in Las Vegas. I think it would be a huge hit!
It would be perfect! Thanks again,
-Mary
-"Hi leo! i just got back from rent on broadway in nyc! it was amazing i cried soooo hard!! haha anyway, there was a america's got talent marathon on yesterday, and i hadnt heard what time it was on so i stayed up allll night just to see you on america's got talent again, i still think you should have gone on! anyway, i havnt eaten all day (too nervous to meet anthony rapp and adam pascal) haha so i'm going to eat! just wanted to tell you that i still think you should have gone through america's got talent!!! luv alwayz
-Abby"
-"I do feel different. I often feel I do not fit in with the crowd. It used to bother me, but not anymore. If people do not accept me, it is their loss. I have always been honest and open about my feelings and opinions. I was raised to accept everyone and their difference. Our differences are the spice of life. We are what makes the world fun and interesting.
- Rae Ann"
-"Certain people have been born more "evolved" spiritually, conceptually, artistically. We experience and percieve things in a different way. Sometimes people like us are singled out as not fitting in. But the truth of the matter is that we are the angels among the devils. That can be a very painful and scary reality. But we have to remember that although there are less of us, we have the "real" power. We just have to work very hard at guarding ourselves form those that would like to see us fall. They are jealous of our goodness and authentic nature. I have fought this battle my entire life. They, not us, are the insecure ones. They, not us,need to change. But they probably won`t. I cope by spending alot of time alone, especially when I have had too much of them. I am very happy that I am not one of them.
they are not beautiful."

-Oh yes, things are great with us. :) Besides, how boring would life be if it was all a smooth road? It'd be boring! Adversity teaches us lessons and gives us strength and wisdom to move forward in life to achieve our dreams. We achieved our dreams in opening our store, so now we're researching new dreams to fullfill! But as long as we're together, my husband and I, our dreams will always come true. Thanks for writing dear! And keep on shining your star to the world!!

08. 16. 07-"LEONID! You're so awesome. I watched that show just to see you on it. When I saw the preview for season 2, that had the "He's Back" thing, I almost wet myself because I was so excited! Keep going! I'm looking foreward to seeing what else you've got in store!"
- Larry
-Oh Honey, thank you!
I've seen stills from your appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, but just now watched the video. You are amazing! I had no idea you improvised a routine with a broom! It was fantastic, and I loved Paul Rueben's reactions to you!
Tons of love,
-Krystyn
-Leonid,
I hope you are aware, though that there are many dangers that come with fame and fortune.
I'm sure you already have people who want to hang around you just to bask in your limelight, but many more dangers i.e. spiritual dangers, people who are jealous of you, etc.
I would remember to give some money back in return like say donate funds to support starving artist foundations where artists like yourself need help getting a start in their careers.
When God blesses you, you should share your blessings with others.
Also with your sometimes bizzarre / funny costumes, you might tend to attract some psychos / crazies who could have potential to harm you. If you must, hire a bodyguard to protect you. Although you are tall and appear strong, you could still get mugged/robbed etc.
I would also let the world know the personal side of you. We all see the show side, but what about Leonid that we'd like to know?
Like are you dating? What are your hobbies? Stuff like that, maybe funny tales about growing up, etc.
And read all of the fine print in every contract you sign.
Becoming adept and fluent in English is essential to ensuring your success I would suggest to you.
p.s. I have a little collection of Russian Icons I adore!
-connie
08. 13. 07
......- hope and pray that you will continue what you are doing - dont ever give up. You are a beacon of light for those who need to do the right thing in their life but dont have the courage. Be yourself and show that you're proud, you're happy and you dont care if they scorn you - because you know that you are a good person.
I stopped watching America's Got Talent after what David H. said/did. You HAVE talent but he's so homophobic that he can't get beyond his own chest hair to see it. Altho I dont personally know you dear, I am poud of you for coming back for the second season. They need their world shook up a bit!
May you always be blessed with creativity, charm and patience!
-Melissa"
-It doesn't matter if it's you or not, because I would speak to you like it is you.
I wanted to relay how I felt when I saw you on that tv show the few times I caught it.
That the minute you were on there, I felt you were a top performer and should have gotten more credit than they gave you.
I think that show in particular perhaps wasn't the one that quite suited you - you would have done better in a Vegas talent show or something, but now you've proved yourself to be a qualified Vegas player, so that's all that matters - you made it, you're on your way to fame and fortune, and you're unstoppable!
I think all of America was moved when you were criticized by Simon on those shows and he's an asshole anyway, don't let him even phase you.
Just like those two young fellows from Washington on that show "America's got talent" or something like that, Simon put them down and criticized how the one guy looked (said he looked like an alien!). But now these 2 guys who were "losers" on that show have gone on to fame and fortune, have appeared on numerous shows, and they're giving them a free tour of the U.S., getting to go to all types of events, meeting famous people right and left and it just goes to show, that America has a big place in it's heart for the underdog, for those who maybe aren't quite "perfect" but it is their will, determination, and desire that wins over America's hearts.

Thanks for inviting me into your world. Just a little something I thought you might like.
I hope you enjoy!

-Leonid,
I meant what I said! Don't let anyone tell you if you have talent. If you believe you have talent, then you have talent!
I know how much America's got talent meant to you. You could see it in your eyes. Even through the T.V. screen I could see a man who had such passion. Don't ever loose that! If you loose the passion you forget that it is the thing you love most. Okay now I am starting to sound like a fortune cookie. LOL
I am a 29 year old figure skater who obviously isn't the normal body type for the sport. I have been made fun of and mocked, that is .........until they saw me skate Then I silence my critics by showing them that you don't need to be a size zero to skate. My point is that there are people who will try and bring you down. Don't let it happen.
I am proud to be your fan!
I look forward to chatting with you on myspace.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

-Leonid,
I voted ! ! !
Suggestions:
-Grow some body hair. Women want that.
-Also don't fall and break an ankle on those shoes!
You're tall enough, you don't need those high heels!
-Lastly, no bras please.
your fan very much,

Posted by Leonid The Magnificent Fandom! on Saturday, August 11, 2007 at 11:31 PM Sincerely with love & admiration,
your friend
-Yanny.
08. 11. 07- I watched you on America's Got Talent and both my mother and I love
watching you. We were both out raged when they passed on two
inexperienced silly dancers over you! You are such a beautiful man to
watch inside and out. Oh how we wish we had the chance to see you in
person and see more of the actual performances you put on, hopefully
some day :-(, we live so far away. My mother spent nearly eight hours
reading your website!
I love your strength, creative talent and the way you just know who you
are Leonid something not too many people find and search for their
entire lives. Also when it comes to the type of talent you offer, some
humans can be so cruel and you need to know that only God can judge you
there is no one else. My mother (lynn) says you should go to New
Zealand or Australia where they are more open minded but I'd rather
have another chance to see you here! I just know that we have not seen
the last of Leonid and I can't wait to see where you may show up,
hopefully on TV so we can see you.
I know you have many people that love you and I pray that brings you
strength at times but I thought you could use two more fans, there is
never too much love to go around. As your other fan said, "Keep those
wings flying", because you bring beauty to an ordinary life.
Blessings, love and light,
-Susan aka Dove
- just watched this:
"One of us has just created a wonderful fan video for Leonid... Watch it:--"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8tPb4jNbbI
And I felt all motherly towards you. (Awwwww....)
Your sweetness really shines through.
Plus, I never noticed, but do you have blue eyes (yes)?
You are the perfect mixture of angel / devil.
Peace,
-Jenifer
-Leonid was great in America's got talent and you should have been in the final, You'retemperament let you down I feel. I know the feeling as I dont take criticism well either. Take care, and Let me know if you need any help in improving your website .

-1.You look good in everything! (and I'm sure, better in nothing)
2. You are the most unique and talented performer out there. Every routine I've seen is creative, artistic, and very entertaining.
3. Viva la Diva! Viva Leonid!"
-Dijeridoo
-California is more then movies and gay clubs. Plus we are so close to reno and vegas. there are many casino's here that have 5 star acts all the time. California is the largest melting pot in the USA. Talents from all over come here to make a name for themselves..you already have a name. use your appearences on AGT as a stepping stool.I do not see you ever getting old and tired unless you simply give up. I pray that does not happen.

You are truly a superstar and don't ever let ANYONE tell you differently!
(you know who I'm talking about!!)
I just had to let you know that you have some big fans here in Scotland. We love you! The minute you organise a show over here in our beautiful country we will be first in line for the tickets. You have so much talent and a beautiful personality, your sincerity shines through. Long may you continue in your pursuit of happiness. And remember, you must have a big Angel sitting on your shoulders to keep all that love for you!! (I read your story and thought it was so sweet.) No chance of your Angel having a heart of stone!
I hope you will always be happy.
God Bless.
Lots of love to you.
-Maddie xxx
-Leonid, my love,
This collection is truly unique and absolutely beautiful! I wish I could wear such beautiful fashions! You wear them well, and other beautiful men would look fantastic in them. Of course, there are none as beautiful as you, but if they aspire to be more beautiful, they should wear your fashions!
hugs and kisses,
-rick
- I Love, Love, LOVE the new fashion line. I thought it was hot here in Indianapolis, it's even hotter after looking at your new photos. The butterfly pics are very cheeky. You are truly Magnificent!
-Mary
-I love it! Your photo shoot is like a one man gay pride parade! When I first saw the Silver Devil costume that was my inspiration for halloween this year. It looks like from the website that you sell that too. I would love to know more.
- Tony
-Fabulous! It isn't going to work for everybody... but what does? It looks fun :)
- Beth
-Great idea!
You are the REAL man to design this line!
- De
-I LOVE it!!!

-"Leonid, you have more than talent. You have beauty, grace and an appeal that is cross-gender, cross-cultural, and absolutely transcendent. I would say I love you, but you've heard it a million times before!
-Victoria"
-Hi
Just wanted to let you know that I went to your website and thought that you looked awsome. The fashions that you were wearing was great. But in my oppion you would look great in what ever you was wearing. I wish that you lived closer so that sometime I could take you out on a date and get to know you personnally. I would like to know more about you besides you trying to be famous. What your likes and dislikes are, what you like to eat, what you like to do when you have freetime. I dont know why but there is just something about you that I really want to get to know you more on a one to one bases. I know that you are orginally from russia so I would like to know some russian dishes because that is what I am going to school for. Maybe when you have the time you can just sit down and write me. People always tell me that i am a great listener so maybe someday you can find that out on your own. Well I guess I have said enough before and go and embarass myself. You have a great day. And my God Bless you always my friend

-Very hot... I'd love to see hundreds of guys walking around in those bathing suits, but I think you'll have a very limited market in America.
-Topher
-hi leonid!
that's pretty wild stuff!! i love fashion design and i say go for it! there needs to be more style in men's fashion...the pics are great! good luck!
-dreama
-Awsome photo! You look wonderful. Great Idea there are a few men out there that like to wear pretty things. I've met them. Best of luck.
-Moo
-I did not see the specific swimsuits you were talking about.
The ones you were in?
You should have a title on them ,or something."Fashions by Leonid."
Nothing is too much! People would not expect anything less from you.
This is a free world with all lifestyles.
Try to make the most of your fame while you have it.
Believe me in this business of entertainment for 27 years.
If I ever get any exposure whatsoever,I have books ready,products,anything I can do.
Today we live,have fun,make friends,have money.
Tomorrow ,who knows?
-Sloofuss Dufflemeyer II
-I think I'd love to see more men with the physiques and courage to pull off those outfits. I'm sure there are those who will think it's over the top but I happen to think that's the only way to live.
You truly are Magnificent!

-(Oooops!)
Hi, Leo:)
Hehe, I do think that your collecion would be a bit too much for the typical men here in the Northiest of Norway. ;o) lol (Oh, the thought of the whole scenario just makes me SO laugh!)
But hey, this is cotoure (or how it is spelled), and to be that, it is quite modest; so I think it is genious, hopefully trendsetting! :o)
How you have put together more modest, and more daring, I think is very smart. Here are something for everybody, even the very homofobic type, hehe.
...from an amatheur's wiew. ;o)
...AND: you look just drop dead gorgeous these days, hope you have a wonderful time!! :)

-Hello
Perhaps they do have something similar , but we watch on the satellite from England In England they have similar programs
Its interesting how leonid became an internationally known artist from essentially one program
You should try to get him on again
Have you taken him to appear yet in japan ?
If you could get him to make a record where he sang or rapped and danced and did a good music video I would think it would be very successful and insure him cult status worldwide
You could cover a song made popular by a more traditional artist ( Sinatra or tony Bennett )but give an innovative slant to the video or have someone write something specific that would get play in dance clubs where it wouldn’t make a lot of difference how well trained his voice is
In many ways spain might offer a good market as there are lots of large open air discos in the summer months
Thanks in advance
Best wishes from Spain

-"Dude, I am telling you, that you are my all time favorite contestant on America's Got Talent, and one of the coolest and most original people alive! I love your acts, man. My favorite one was the one where you had that big cube, and you spun it around? That was soooo cool. Congrats on being awesome!:D"
-Joe
-"I think I am different, and I often feel like I don't belong! It is so much easier to pretend on the internet, than it is in real person! You can put up someone else's pictures, or inaccurate information, which although I do not on this sight, I have tried it before! I have been scared of rejection! I think, that because I am different, I am afraid that others will not accept me for who I am! Therefore I pretend to be someone, who people actually want to talk to! I respect anyone who is honest, open, and not afraid to be themselves! I just hope that one day, I can be just as brave! I think others hate people who are differnt because they are afraid of what they do not understand! And yes, I think they hate them because they are unsecure too! And people don't want to be friends with people who are different, because of what their other friends, or families might think! At least I do not care what others think of my choice of friends or acquaintances! But I would be proud to call anyone my friend, who is not afraid to be different and be themselves! This is one reason I deeply repect, and look up to you as not only an artist and preformer, but also as a person! Keep up the good work!"

-Dear Amazing One,
I just recently googled your name after my Greek husband found a video clip of your performance in Greece; we both have been trying to find a way to see you and share you with friends ever since we saw your performance on Greek T.V. during the Easter season.
So, now I can say what I have been wanting to say: Thank God for such a glorious creature as yourself who for me represents everything that is Light and Goodness and Purity. And FUN!!!!
We broke our faces smiling, and how often is to see something original in this world anymore? I feel pride in that you chose to represent and send love from AMERICA to the Greeks---all the way from "Brooklyn". You are what I wish all of America should emulate: Joy and Peace personified in a person in love with life and with providing others with that love----
Are you also gorgeous? You bet....live long and thrive, and should anyone actually read this e-mail could they please tell me where we can see you perform? We will go to Las Vegas at the end of this month (8/25/07), and will be in N.Y.C. in January---and if you are going back to Greece anytime soon, let me know....any trips to California???? PLEASE!

-I went to your webpage and read the rest of your story as well as the Forget-Me-Not story. That last one made me cry. Such a beautiful tragedy. As for your story/journal, I assure you you're not crazy. If you are, than so am I. I feel the same way you do at times. I have no friends to hang out with, no one to call me, no one to say "How are you?" and "You're wonderful". I get so lonley sometimes I want to die, but I have hope that one day, someone somewhere will say those words and maybe more.
Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I red your stories and think they're great. Keep writing, Leonid. I'm serious.
-Amanda
Hello,
-That is so not true. America has become so obessed with reality t.v and the crap that the t.v network feeds us. You are incredieble. Please keep doing what you do. Dont ever give up. You are truly magnificent. Have you thought of trying California? I know many of my friends have made quite a name for themselves here. California runs on a different pace then the east coast. Men such as yourself are widely accepted. Just a thought. I wish you a good evening and thank you for taking the time to reply to my letter.
Приветствия, Рай

Your page made me smile when I needed it the most.
My father is so ill and I am sad and I needed that badly!! When everything was crumbling you made me smile!!

-Dear Leo,
Would you like to know something that I really like about you? You are larger - than - life, beautiful, handsome, talented, and compelling. You look like a star, perform like a star, and I've never met you (like a star!)
In spite of these things, I feel a connection to you. You are still so very human. "A Mess in My Head" is so real, heartfelt, and easy to relate to. The pictures of you in "civilian life" show a man who has warm, kind eyes, and has not been left soul-less by greed and arrogance. When I'm watching or reading you, I feel like you are a friend I haven't seen in a while, but still know.
I hope you have all the success the you deserve! I know you have it coming, and will handle it well.
-Krystyn

I understand you have sooooo many people on myspace that have you on friends so i dont really expect you to repsond to this message...but just reading it will mean the world to me. You opend up my eyes to a whole new world, i cant even talk about you or in this case to you.. without crying... to most people you're just some joke.. but to me, you have the most talent then anyone i know... i was devistaded when you were voted off america's got talent even more so this year... and i cried harder then i ever have.. and i stopped america's got talent.. beacuse to me, without you on that stage... it isnt worth my time watching... i wish i could go see you perform live but i cant.... i already spent all my money on tickets to see Rent on broadway in NY... but oh well i guess.... and like you said "I'll never give up my dream" and right now my dream is to either meet you in person, or see you perform.. so im going to work harder then ever just to see you... but i really hope u go back to ameria's got talent.. hasselhauf (or how ever you spell it) is a retard... he thinks that he's so cool just cause he was on bay watch... pfft he needs to go die..... lol they wouldnt know talent if it bit them on the ass... but anyway i'll shut up now.. lol stay strong! and stay fantabulous... I love you leonid.... you changed my life
-Abby
Hi, I'm Justin and I'm a big fan of yours. I've watched AGT since episode one last season and saw you and that you were the greatest! By far more talented than the majority of acts who's made it passed you on both seasons [Bianca Ryan, Boy Shakira, Kashiff, ect.] You came back with a completely different act each time and also made me laugh [in a good way], like when you were watching Stomp and you were like "I love it, I love it, I love it!"
- justin
07. 26. 07
I think you're amazing leonid! you were always my favorite and i was upset that you didn't go farther...the top 20 is so boring without you in it! you bring a huge smile to my face everytime i see you...you're definetely worthy of the title of leonid the MAGNIFICENT!!!
keep doing what you do and never give up!!!
-Kate
"Hey Leonid,
That's a good question. I think that anyone who makes an effort to be " normal " is pretty boring. I've always tried to think differently than most people, and the way that I try to do that is asking questions about the things that I don't think are right. As a result, people feel threatened because they have to explain themselves. I don't necessarily believe that people are bad or unintelligent. I just think that it's important to have an open mind and appreciate the world as it is, full of wonderful people and things that can teach us so much about life. Sadly, a lot of people choose to live in a way that closes them off from new experiences, and that is not a good way to live.
When it comes to secrets, I believe that some people get angry when others are honest because it takes more courage to let something out than to keep it in. People are jealous of courage.
If someone hates another person at all, they're giving way too much of themselves to that person. If someone hates me, for example, I just realize that they're taking the easy way by not getting to know me. It takes more energy to love than it does to hate. A lot of people are just lazy.
Insecure? People are definately insecure. I think that a lot of negative things come from people who are unhappy with themselves in some way and want to take it out on the rest of us.
Keep up the great work, Leonid.
-Matt"
Lyonya, u r the best! U are way too advanced and above and beyond AGT for them to appreciate you! You don't need them, you'll be famous and make your own $$$$$$$$$$$$! 100%!!! I spasibo, chto dobavil v spisok druzej!!!!

-Dear Leo & Taras!
Over the weekend I was thinking about what you asked me a few weeks ago and I did a 'first' in my life... I created a website : "The Official Leonid The Magnificent Fanclub". http://www.leonidthemagnificentfanclub.com/
Meanwhile I'm enjoying the excitement of doing a 'first' in my life! And you were my inspiration...
warmest regards,
-Yanny.
PS: How was your concert in San Francisco? Wish I were there!
-Hello Leo! Wanted to let you know that I showed my mother in law some of your videos, she loved them, so now you have another fan! I'm sure you have been staying busy, at least I hope so. I wish I could see you perform sometime soon, but for now I will just keep watching you on video, I still enjoy that, its better than not seeing you at all! Your acts always make me smile, love that! Someday I will make it to an actual real performance, can't wait.
I like the updates you and Taras have made on your website, keep adding new stuff.
Have a great week Leo,
-Virginia
-... Merriam-Webster dictionary states talent as " a special often creative or artistic aptitude, a person of talent or a group of persons of talent in a field or activity". You have a great talent. You are creative and artistic. It takes a talented mind to pull off what you do. I look forward in seeing your show one day. If not here in Oklahoma then a road trip comes to mind. Don't quit or give up. You are an inspiration to many and more than you can imagine.
- Gary
-Hi!
-I just wanted to say that I have been a very big fan of yours ever since America's Got Talent last year! You seem like such a wonderful person. I was just reading your book and if you are ever bored or lonely or upset you are welcome to send me an e-mail. I am no stranger to loneliness and depression and many times I have wished that there was someone who I could tell my problems to without judging me. So like I said you are welcome to e-mail me anytime.
Continue to follow your dreams of stardom and don't let anyone get you down!
Your friend and fan.

-Leo,
Thank you for the reply (not many people do that). I stopped watching the americas got talent show (though I do not see much talent on now) when you got voted off, no point in it now. I give you credit for having the courage to do it (i know i couldn't)!! I am way too shy for television lol. But if there is anything I can do for you let me know. And also, if your show ever makes it out to western new york, let me know because I will be first in line :) Have a great day.
-Trina
-Hi Leonid
Just wanted to say hi and appoligize for not being able to watch you on Americas Got Talent. I am just going through a rough time right now and I dont get home from school early enough to watch you. I watch you every chance I get, but with going to school I just dont have that much time any more. I hope that maybe some day you will come to Iowa so I can watch you perform live. I believe that would be just awsome. I have been interested in you since I first saw you. Call me crazy but you are kind of a hero to me. You are not afraid to go out there and show people your talent and you diffently are not embarassed about who you are. There are not very many people like that and I commend you for that. I am sitting in the library at the college I attend and its getting about time to go to class but I will send you another message a little later

-Leonid!
You were my favorite act ever on America's Got Talent and I was so glad you came back! I was so mad that they wouldn't let you go but they let the silly bollywood dancer go on! David Hasselhoff is crazy!!! PLease come back the next season too!!
-Michelle
-Hi Leonid, I'm Justin and I'm a big fan of yours. I've watched AGT since episode one last season and saw you and that you were the greatest!

-Oh my gosh!!I saw you on America's Got Talent and I completely adore you!! When you walked out on the stage on season 1 the first thing I thought was oh my god he is BREATHTAKING!!You are totally magnificent and beautiful too!! I am a huge fan! I almost cried on season 1 and now on season 2 when you didn't make it :(
-Ashley
ps.Do you think you could send me some pics of you in the wings with the big silver sparkly boots on? That's my favorite outfit XD
-Yes! Never give up.
Anyway you are already a class act. You don't have anything to prove by winning an amateur talent contest so that you can get a job in Las Vegas.
You can get a job anywhere.

-"LEONID!!!! I AM SO PISSED THAT THEY DID NOT MOVE YOU ON TO THE FINAL 20 FOR AMERICA'S GOT TALENT. YOU ARE THE ONLY REASON MY HUSBAND AND I WATCHED THE SHOW. YOU ARE VERY TALENTED AND WHAT THEY DID WAS WRONG. YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT AND I WANTED TO WRITE TO YOU AND TELL YOU I AM A BIG FAN!!!"
Chris
-"Leonid, magnificent is hardly a word to describe you at all. Personally you are an inspiration. You stand up for what you believe and you never give up on the goals you set for yourself. I've always fought for my goals as well and you've given me that extra push to keep trying for what I believe in.
Thank you for believing in yourself and keep everything up your absolutely amazing. I can't wait to see one of your shows <3"
-Jackoff
-""..and I am not a fake!" No, but you sure look delicious!
After watching the AGT episode Saturday, I feel more strongly than ever that those morons don't deserve you. Some very talented people made it into the top 20, but it seems most very talented people were passed BY, not through.
You have talent. And you are very original. Creative. Unique. You will be successful, but not with the "average viewer" - you are not a champion of mediocrity!"
-"You had my vote for America's Got Talent! Sorry that they dashed your dreams this time. Wishing you all the success in the world and that you reach all your dreams! And stay so damn sexy!"

-Dear Leonid,
I wanted to let you know how disappointed I am in the judges at AGT for not putting you through to the Top 20. As I have said elsewhere, Boy Shakira is funny--once, but after that he's like watching an over-dressed, gyrating throw pillow, and we won't even get into Rashif.
I want you to know, however, that I've liked you ever since I first saw you last year. I'm amazed at your versatility and your sense of humor. You are "over-the-top" in the most entertaining way possible, and if you ever play around Pittsburgh, PA, and I can afford to come, I will be there with bells on!!! (And I do have some!!!)
Please don't let AGT get you down. You are a great talent and a joy to watch. I would very much like to be among your friends, and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Sincerely,

-Good morning Leo! I see by the weather channel that you are having a beautiful sunny Sunday morning, enjoy! It is sunny and beautiful (and HOT) here in Florida, I am going to go do some work in my garden today. It should be wonderful, I love to be outside.
I wanted to tell you next time you have nothing to do and you are feeling bored, write some more stories! I love reading them, like the one where you were doing some shows and you got lost and the police came and you got an escort, with a siren! It made me laugh out loud! Some of the other writings that are a little more personal, like the fond memories of you're Mom reading or singing or making up fairy tales for you at bedtime are very touching, I like to read about that side of you also. You have many talents and writing is just one more thing you are really good at. Maybe if you write enough stories, someday you can publish them, I would buy that book.
Have a great day Leo! You're friend, Virginia

-Mindy's Comment:
"Wow! I agree with everyone below's comments...your talent is above and beyone AGT and there's so much more out there for you. I want you to know that the amount of people out there that love you and your performance out numbers the amount of people that may dislike you. Don't ever forget that. Hope you're having a great weekend!! : ) xoxox"
-Leonid, you are fierce and fabulous! "Viva La Diva" Don't underestimate the power of a woman.
Mone.."
-"You are a great entertainer with a wonderful voice.. keep up the good work. We all love you too."
-was watching America's Got Talent, and I LOVE Leonid! Then I read his stories on the website, and I love Leonid the HUMAN, not just the performer. I think if people knew Leonid the man, they would love him as much as I do. I am not here for publicity, or to use his fame, I am here offering a hand of friendship and understanding in moments of sadness, loneliness, depression. His heart and words have touched me deeply, and I am so moved by this Leonid THE INCREDIBLE HUMAN! I hope you pass this on to him and send him a huge hug from a lady in a very small town in Kansas, where no one probably even knows the man. My name is Lori, and should Leonid find he needs a friend he can trust, I am the one. Thanks Leonid for your warm heart and soul.
Love and Hugs from Kansas,
Lori Kiister

-I was so sad to see last night that you didnt make it through to the top 20. You deserved to be...you know it, I know it, and the judges know it. If they dont believe in what you can do...you dont need to be on their show. Please do not give up what you want to do. There are too many people who love you and want you to suceed in everything
Hugs
Tina

-Leonid the Magnificent Fails to Make the Final Cut on America's Got Talent
A year ago when I watched America's Got Talent, I must say I was surprised when I first saw Leonid the Magnificent. To be honest, his act didn't seem that polished when he first started the competition. Further, Leonid and I couldn't be greater polar opposites in many ways. But, after his performance, I saw something in Leonid that I admired, qualities that I admire perhaps most of all--courage, raw emotion, pride and dignity. It was a strange mix, but when I saw Leonid the Magnificent face the judges and literally demand that they recognize him for who he is, I admired him and respected him .
I also felt that America had come a long way in respecting individual differences and even though he did not win the competition, the fact that he progressed for a while in an America that seemed to embrace him, restored some of my faith in mankind.
Tonight, there was a failure, not Leonid's but that of the judges. I felt that many of the contestants that advanced had far-less star quality and I also had hoped that Leonid would be given a chance to show America that he was the winner of the competition. I felt that the judges should have forgotten about creating a balanced finale and given Leonid a chance to compete to the end, giving America the opportunity to vote to decide if he was perhaps the greatest talent present.

-Dear Leo!
Earlier today someone just added to Youtube a videoclip of your AGT2 NY audition performance! And read the glowing comments he has for you.. [I think he cut out this clip from another one which was posted earlier on by another person, which contained 3 other performances. In this version the 'go to hell' part has been edited out. :) ]
When I first saw this, I was blown aw...
When I first saw this, I was blown away... this was the most ass-crazy madcap crap I've ever seen... and I loved it.
I was sad to see him eliminated in the second round, but apparently he's got his own webpage, and some minor fame already, as well as having guest starred on Greece's Got Talent in Athens last March.
I bow down to him...
(more)
Lots of people love you, Leo! They cannot forget you even when the "show's over"... That's what's important. They can see you're not just beautiful outside, you're even more beautiful inside, where it really matters if people are to love you and remember you irrespective of your fame or public career.
Just this afternoon I was thinking that you remind me a bit of Princess Diana. She was rejected and scorned by the establishment that was in power, even by her own husband, but her true and loving heart gained the adoration of masses.. Come to think of it, when the world treats you badly, when you're down and dejected and can't think of what to do next, one of the things that will do you (and others) a world of good is exactly what Princess Diana has done: she helped & comforted those who were truly down and out, the sick, the poor, those rejected by society. And in so doing she gained a measure of self-worth, recognition and identity that was totally independent of those in power, that totally shocked the establishment when it finally came to light.. And I can see in you the same kind of sensitive, beautiful soul that she had, and I can imagine you doing just the sort of things she did that made people fall in love with her.. Hey, that can even be a kind of publicity campaign!!
Also, I see that a 'fanclub' has been started on your website! That's a wonderful start!
Rest well, Leo, and may our Good Lord give you sweet dreams and be gracious to you..
keeping you in my prayers,
Yanny.
-Dear Leonid,
I'm going through a difficult time in my professional life right now, too. I'm sorry to see you having a hard time, and struggling to get past this.
I went to your website hoping you would cheer me up. I find you to be endlessly entertaining, and I admire your work. On your site, I read the story of the New Years' Eve you worked two clubs, and became lost between them. Leonid, I laughed so much I had tears streaming down my face, and my stomach still hurts! You worked through so many problems that night, and came out of it laughing at yourself! (remember writing that you wanted a Dictaphone to remember the cursing?) You will overcome this minor setback, and go on to bigger things. You are made for it, and commit yourself to it so much, I have faith in you.
Thank you for reading this, and thank you for not giving up. You've made my life a nicer place. I think you are magnificent!
Krystyn
p.s. - I posted to your MySpace as "didjeridoo" - you came in 13th most searched term for Google the week you were on America's Got Talent (but can't always recognize it)!!!!
