“GROUPIE SEX DISGUSTS ME”

Bill Kaulitz, singer of Tokio Hotel, about damaged vocal cords, the drug called fame and his own funeral.

 A rule for journalists says that interviewing an 18-years-old is as reasonable as milking a stone. But it’s different with Bill Kaulitz. His first kiss or the addiction to fame: the teen star who is often labeled as gay, talks more eloquent than most of the German showbiz veterans. VANITY FAIR met Bill shortly before his surgery and had e-mail contact with him after the surgery.

VF: Mister Kaulitz, how do you feel after the surgery of your vocal cords?
Bill Kaulitz: Well, just how you feel after someone shoved a metal rail down your throat while you were under general anesthesia, to cut something off of your vocal cords. Everybody knows this feeling. I’m really glad I’m over and done with this. But I’m still scared about my voice and I feel bad for the canceled concerts.

VF: For how long will you have to rest?
Bill Kaulitz: I’m not allowed to speak for 12 days after the surgery. After that I have to do four weeks of rehabilitation. I can’t wait for this.

VF: Let’s talk about the beginnings. It’s said that creativity feeds from the memory of hurt and mortification. What was yours?
Bill Kaulitz: The thing that hurt me most was the divorce of my parents. I was seven years old and I didn’t understand it. It influenced me a lot. There’s a song about it on our first album. It’s called “Gegen meinen Willen”.

VF: We know that your stephather Gordon Trümper is a guitar teacher. What is your biological father doing?
Bill Kaulitz: He’s a truck driver and lives in Hanover

VF: When you were 8 years old, your family moved from Magdeburg to Loitsche, where only 700 people live. How did you experience this move?
Bill Kaulitz: I felt terrible, because I’m not a country-type at all. You can imagine how Tom and I stood out. They looked at us like we were some aliens who are completely nuts. School was terrible too. I had to get up at half past five every morning, to catch the bus to Wolmirstedt, and wasn’t home before half past four. How I hated this! And always the same faces at school. It was the worst time of my life.

VF: How did the teachers react to the brothers Kaulitz?
Bill Kaulitz:Tom and I were always together until 7th grade. Then we were parted as punishment. It was a real slap in the face which really influenced us. Until then we did everything together. We’re identical twins and really close. Of course we fought the disciplinary transfer, but the teachers said that they wouldn’t be able to stand up to us because we were both bigmouths. I wasn’t somebody who raised his finger and then talked in a hushed voice. I always shouted. My mum was called to school every second day.

VF: It was your specialty to appeal class tests if those weren’t given back to you in due time. Where did you get this know-how from?
Bill Kaulitz: I always knew that I don’t need the school, because I’d be a singer. Because the teachers annoyed me to no end, I studied my rights. I knew what they were allowed to do and what not. I sometimes had a teacher that was completely awful. Some of them didn’t want to say “Good day” to me because my hair was styled up and my fingernails were painted black. They said that I couldn’t go to school like that. One of them didn’t want to teach me because I look like I look. He said things like “Your head isn’t only for nice hair.” I was an anti-pupil and did not put up with any of this.

VF: How were your marks?
Bill Kaulitz: Great. I always had a grade point average of 1,8. That’s what annoyed the teachers most.

VF: Were the teachers able to hurt you?
Bill Kaulitz: Not at all. I wasn’t a sick freak, chewing on my nails. I was very self-confident. I went to school like this because I knew everyone would look and the teachers would talk about it. I enjoyed this. I wanted to attract attention with my styling. The people were supposed to talk about me.

VF: A short time ago, you finished secondary school via correspondence school. How important is it to be able to differ omelette from Hamlet?
Bill Kaulitz: Well, one should be able to tell the difference. But the school system is too less individual. Why should I study maths when I know that I will never ever need it again in my life? I dropped music in 8th grade. Everyone was dumbfounded. But we only learned the CVs of some people by heart - zero inspiration. I always got bad grades for singing because we had to warble folk songs. It was horror!

VF: Does the old cliché , that music was the ticket to escape the melancholy of the province apply to you?
Bill Kaulitz: Yes. I always thought: I just have to get away from this jerkwater town, where everyone knows everyone! The worst thing for me is everyday life. I hate everyday life. That’s why Tokio Hotel ist he right thing for me. Every day is different: new cities, new people.

VF: Thanks to paparazzi and so-called reader reporter, you’re now on a watch 24/7. Is this impertinence or completion?
Bill Kaulitz: When I was a little boy, I always imagined how everything I do is being recorded by cameras and how this is going out to the world. I wanted boundless attention. Now I achieved it. How can I be annoyed by this?

VF: Will someone ever be as important to you as Tom is?
Bill Kaulitz: No. It tops everything. I couldn’t imagine a life without Tom. One can’t describe how close we are to each other. It’s something extrasensory. We often have the same thoughts and dream the same things. We actually don’t have to talk to each other anymore.

VF: Many identical twins sense their symbiosis as a torture and provide murderous sceneries.
Bill Kaulitz: We argue of course. And if we have an argument, it’s bad. We attack each other and punch each other. One year ago we attacked each other with chairs in a hotel room. But we don’t bear a grudge. We slam the doors, one of us disappears and ten minutes later we talk to each other again.

VF: Who’s closer to you: the natural Bill or the painted one?
Bill Kaulitz: Definitely the painted one. the natural Bill is like a masquerade to me. I would also walk around like this if I wouldn’t be famous. It totally belongs to me.

VF: Who sees you in your original state?
Bill Kaulitz: My family. And that’s it.

VF: Famous kids are the most corruptive species of artists, because they destroy themselves the older they get. Will you perform a fall from time to time, to keep your image interesting?
Bill Kaulitz: It’s definitely good to show that you’re not perfect. But I don’t stress about this. To plan something like that so that your fans don’t run away, is bad. What I hated from the beginning, were older bands or some people of record labels who wanted to explain to me how this works. There’s no such thing as advice! In our first meethings with the record label, they wanted to give us a stylist who was supposed to work on our appearance. I still don’t have a stylist who tells me what to wear. It would constrict me. We also decide about every concert and every contract by ourselves, because I think it’s really bad not to be self-determined.

VF: Who is allowed to say no to you?
Bill Kaulitz: Job-related: no one. Neither the management nor the record label. The only ones I’m still listening to are my best friends and my family. My mum can tell me: “Bill, that’s sick!” and I’d think about it.

VF: Do your parents still try to parent you?
Bill Kaulitz: I have to say, our mum never really did this. Doing homework was optional. She left us free space but always watched over us. There’s a huge confidence between us. We are like friends. There’s really nothing I wouldn’t tell my mum. And I never had a secret she didn’t know about. When I came home drunk for the first time, she said what she thought about it, but I didn’t need to be afraid of her.

VF: Does your mum ask you to leave your hair at least on christmas alone?
Bill Kaulitz: No. She really doesn’t care. I colored my hair for the first time when I was 9 years old. They were alternating between green, blue, white and black. I got my eyebrow piercing when I was 13. She was really laid-back.

VF: About 200 female teenager collapse from ecstasy during your concerts, they hold up posters with slogans like “Fuck me through the monsoon”. How does it feel to know that millions of girls project their sprouting sexual fantasies onto you?
Bill Kaulitz: I don’t think about it much, to be honest. Sometimes we look at each other and have to laugh because we just can’t imagine that someone has posters of us on their walls. But I always thought it would be cool to hang at someones wall. In the past, I often sat in my room, thinking about what my idol Nena is doing, where she is and what she’s thinking. I can’t quite believe that other people now sit in their rooms and think about me. To me, I’m so normal, we are so unspecial to each other. We are oblivious to ourselves.

VF: How often do you think about yourself in third person?
Bill Kaulitz: Sometimes. But accidentally. When I’m unmotivated to do something, I think: Bill should do it nonetheless, because it’s good for the band.

VF: Your aplomb appearance in public appears to be eldrich for some people. Is there a difference between the character Bill and the real Bill?
Bill Kaulitz: You keep some things to yourself. But apart from that, there are no great differences perforce. The last three years were a run without break. There wasn’t a cut when you arrived somewhere and had some private time. Even on tour we had cameras all around us, 24 hours a day. How can you experience something that not everyone knows about only a few hours later? But that’s what I always wanted. Thus I have to cope with it.

VF: Those we envy rarely feel enviable. What’s the most annoying thing about being Bill?
Bill Kaulitz: The main problem of people like me is to trust. It’s hard for me to believe someone and let myself go. During the past years I didn’t make any new friends and I didn’t fall in love. When I meet someone, I’m really careful and skeptic and ask myself: What’s behind this? One unfortunately often meets people who turn out to be weird or tell something to the press. If I wouldn’t be this famous, I would have probably fallen in love with someone I know a long time ago.

VF: Who betrayed your trust the worst?
Bill Kaulitz: I never let myself go so far that someone would have been able to do that. I wear a shield. To go out and get to know someone without telling someone beforehand is the biggest thing you have to forgo. Still, my current life is what I always wanted.

VF: Is the problem of trust the reason why stars often hook up with stars?
Bill Kaulitz: Yes. Angelina Jolie doesn’t have to worry that Brad Pitt only uses her for becoming famous. A celebrity prefers someone who has the same life and is into this lifestyle as well. My girlfriends never understood why I went to our rehearsal room right after school and why I preferred to perform in clubs at the weekend, instead of sitting in front of the TV with them. Of course it’s so much more difficult today. Who wants to live this life with you? And of course the person would also have to understand that you can’t just get out of this life.

VF: When were you last in love?
Bill Kaulitz: Three and a half years ago. I haven’t found the one big love. I don’t think everbody finds it. And if so, only once. In my situation, I would need much luck to find it.

VF: With 18 years, don’t you prefer to make out endlessly anyway?
Bill Kaulitz: I don’t know. Precisely because of this life I would prefer to find the one big love instead of making out. I want to share my little time with someone I know about: This is the one!

VF: Did you already say “I love you” to a girl?
Bill Kaulitz: Yes. But I didn’t mean it. I should have said “I like you.” The older I get, the more serious I take those differences. Tom probably always says “I love you” to a girl to get her into bed.

VF: Do you compete for the same girls?
Bill Kaulitz: We like the same type. And our girlfriends were always friends with each other. It was godawful, cause they did always gang up on us. Our first kiss happened with the same girl. Tom was first. The day after that, she started kissing me. Then we were both over and done with it. Oh god, we thought it was shit - as awful as the first kiss is.

VF: How old were you back then?
Bill Kaulitz: Eleven. She was three years older and experienced.

VF: When had Tom his first sex?
Bill Kaulitz:He was 14, if I remember correctly.

VF: It’s said that Tom goes through women like there’s no tommorow.
Bill Kaulitz: I let him do whatever he wants. That he has the nerve to get someone else every night. I wouldn’t fancy this. But we were always different when it came to that.

VF: Your colleague Robbie Williams once told us that there are two kinds of groupies in Germany. One kind wants to take a photo during the sex to have a proof to show their friends. The other kind would ask “Robbie, are you sure your feelings for me are real?” during the sex.
Bill Kaulitz: Tom also tells me this. Since we’re on the road so much, I didn’t take anyone to my bed. It disgusts me, to have someone I don’t even know in my bed every night. I didn’t reach this point yet. I wouldn’t have the confidence to take a girl up to my room for one night. The only private thing you have while on tour, is your hotel room. And to let someone sleep there for one night - no, I’d be really skeptic.

VF: Did you already have sex?
Bill Kaulitz: I want this to be my secret.

VF: Does it surprise you that some people think you’re gay?
Bill Kaulitz:Not at all. Most of them have this cliché way of thinking: make-up plus styled hair equals gay. I wanted to set this statement, that this is not the case. Everyone can do what he wants. One thing doesn’t necessarily have to do with the other.

VF: What would you do if you were a girl for one day?
Bill Kaulitz: I’d definitely not hook up with my brother.

VF: But?
Bill Kaulitz: Oh my god, what would I do? Probably the same as I do now, cause I don’t tell it apart.

VF: What would you like to forbid girls?
Bill Kaulitz: Not being jealous, because jealousy is very important. When I’m in love I immediately claim everything and don’t let go anymore. It would drive me crazy if my girlfriend would tell me: “Bill, I don’t care about all those screaming girls. I totally trust you.”

VF: Were you ever deceived?
Bill Kaulitz: No. I also never deceived someone. Faithfulness is the most important thing for me.

VF: How did you annoy your girlfriends?
Bill Kaulitz: I speak really loud. The whole day. And always with hands and feet. And I never let people talk. Everyone’s annoyed by that.

VF: Which is harder: loving someone else or loving oneself?
Bill Kaulitz: Oneself. It’s really hard to stand by everything you are. There are incredibly many moments in which I’m insecure and would love to dig a hole to crawl in, pull a blanket over myself and stay there for a year. Sometimes I’m glad we’re in this rush and have one concert after the other, this way you don’t have time to think much. You just don’t have time for loneliness.

VF: Can you still live without a celeb-sitter?
Bill Kaulitz: I can’t just go to the bakery. So of course someone else does this. But I’m still suitable for daily use, because my problem is that I’m incredibly perfectionist. I can’t let other people do things. It’s abnormal - and gets worse. Everything has to be fixed into detail, cause I need to know exactly what’s coming up. Or else I go crazy. Tom’s also this stressed out. Although we pay so many people to relieve us of some things. But we created all this, so it’s hard for us when other people lay hand on Tokio Hotel.

VF: Do you also control your finances yourself?
Bill Kaulitz: Yes. I already did this when I was 13. I have access to all accounts and control this just like I control my career.

VF: Do you know how many millions you’ve got?
A woman with clipboard from the record label shouts from the background: “No talk about money!”

VF: When will you buy your parents a villa?
Bill Kaulitz: As soon as I can afford it. I definitely want to live together with my parents. We’re so close, I wouldn’t think of it being a strain. There are no limits where I’d say: “Oh my god, now please go out.”

VF: Let’s assume that you’re kidnapped. What would be a reasonable amount for a ransom?
Bill Kaulitz: As much as all my friends could get together. Of course they should get their money back in the end.

VF: What do you think about the fall of Britney Spears?
Bill Kaulitz: I can understand how something like that can happen, because I live the same life. Other people probably think: “She has money, she achieved everything, why doesn’t she just relax?” I couldn’t imagine myself being a solo artist and to be alone on the road all the time. I don’t trust myself to carry this huge pressure alone.

Bill Kaulitz: Of course it’s a funny statement. But I can totally understand it, cause there’s no stop. You don’t just say: “Well, now I’m famous in Germany and that’s enough.” You aspire to be everywhere as succesful as possible. Even if I’d be immensely wealthy and would own my own island, I’d still go on. It’s right: Fame is a drug. The detox would be a blow, I would hardly be able to handle.

VF: If drugs weren’t illegal which would you like to try?
Bill Kaulitz: Something relaxing that leads to me not needing to control everything anymore.

VF: Are you a star in your dreams?
Bill Kaulitz: I once had a nightmare: I lie in bed, in a room made of glass and all around me are photographers, who take tons of pictures of me. I say to our team: “Shit, shit, can’t you just get them out of here?” But one guy says: “No, I can’t do that. You’ve got an appointment and you overslept.” But I never missed an appointment. I always have three alarm clocks, so that I don’t oversleep. And I’m never unpunctual.

VF: Why did no one ever see you dance?
Bill Kaulitz: I never dance. I just sit in the corner - unless I’m really drunk. I do it then. I think, dancing is a girls-thing. Even though is might sound chavvy: Only girls have to dance everywhere.

VF: Do you somethimes think about your own funeral?
Bill Kaulitz:: I have to say: Yes. My friends, who are the same age as me, also think about it. You imagine who would be there and who would really cry for you.

VF: Which music should be played at your burial?
Bill Kaulitz: “Magic Dance” of David Bowie from the movie “Labyrinth”. It’s a really funny song and “Labyrinth” is a movie from my childhood and I still love it to pieces.

VF: What will you wear in your coffin?
Bill Kaulitz: I wear everything black and a leather jacket. My last will would definitley be that my hair is styled. I’ll hopefully have enough hair left. If not, someone should definitely put a wig on my head.

Yes, it is true! Tokio Hotel are prepared to release a new original album! Look what we have found... Yupii!

We were so exticed to give you this new! After Schrei and Zimmer 483 (both with a english version), the four boys are daily working on the third album!!! And they promisse not to desilude us...

Bad things always come to an end
This proverb couldn't tell more the truth... and Tokio Hotel know that!!! You maybe remember when Bill had to stay fous weeks without speaking, after the OP to his throat... That days were really hard and they had to cancelate lots of concerts (including the Lisbon one). But was in that times that Bill started writing dauly new lyrics!!! That therm gave him lots of inspiration, it made him think so much about life and, as he couldn't speak... he wrote! It was in that pause moment that made the born of the "new baby" of Tokio Hotel!

Other inspirations!
When he came back to the stages (with the european and north american tour), Bill keep on writing... Visit new countries and meet different people also inspired him! «Bill came to talk with me a lot of times with new ideas for musics», says the manager and producer of the band, David Jost. «I think Bill's lyrics are a mix of nostalgia. He wish be at home and, at the same time, he wants always to keep on». How sweet...

Lost papercuts!
Bill is always having new ideas for lyrics and songs and he write all them imediatly in everypaper that he probably have. «Bill write lyrics in every empty space of a paper , wich he brings on his pocket. In the majority of the papers, there are a hotel logo. He is felling really bad and he has already lost some of those papers. But, unfortunatly, he isn't interessted in write the ideas on the laptop», revels David Jost. Which one of us with our method.

New Stile!
We also had discover that Tokio Hotel are thinking in change a little bit of their stile. «I want to introduce musics with new influences and surprise people», said Tom. Cool!!!

Faithfull to their origins
They will return to sing german
Tokio Hotel are super happu with the success that they have made in USA and Europe, but they want to be faithfull to their origins and they will keep singing in german. Becuase is on the mother language that Bill writes better and the fans identify theirselfs in the same way. «The fans want to be the much closer to the identity of Bill. So, they want to understand the texts in german», says the manager of the band.

Deze week in Joepie:
een poster van Bill Kaulitz

ª
Plus, wat ik nog tegengekomen ben op het web ...
De laaste nieuwe roddel
-alé, ze dateert van augustus 2008-
over het geheime lief van Bill Kaulitz

"Bill Kaulitz en Ilayda Gecim"
Men zegt dat zij een meisje is van Turkse origine en ze heeft deze week haar 16e verjaardag gevierd.
(op dit feest zou Bill ook aanwezig geweest zijn)
Ook is er sprake van een ooggetuige ...

Owjah, het meisje zou afkomstig zijn uit Berlijn
en de ooggetuige zou Denise heten.

Bon, waarom post ik dit hier?
-niet omdat ik jullie depressief wil krijgen-
Neen, om aan te tonen dat er in zo een berichten veel onwaarheden schuilen ...

Als je verder gaat kijken op internet
-wat ik dus speciaal gedaan heb voor jullie-
lees je:

"Il s’agit d’une Berlinoise d’origine turque. Elle a 15 ans. La rumeur a débuté en 2007"
(wat dus het vorige "augsutus 2008" al tegenspreekt)

Volgens die bron zouden de twee elkaar hebben leren kennen op Comets '07
-een jaar geleden-
PLUS
-Bill zou ons dat dan al wel verteld hebben en geen inteviews hebben zitten geven over hoe eenzaam hij wel is-

Nu blijkbaar is onze ooggetuige een zeer goede vriendin van Ilayda Gecim.
-blijkbaar dan een hele slechte vriendin als het gaat om geheimen?-

Dit is wat ik er zo van vind ...
-ook kan het misschien in één of ander tijdschrift verschijnen
en dan vind je het misschien erg dat ik er je niet over bericht heb-
(wat in feite de bedoeling is van deze blog)

Bon, op het internet wordt momenteel druk gespeculeerd
-snap je nu de titel?-
over het nieuwe album van Tokio Hotel:

"Tokio Hotel are back in studio

(bronStock-World.de )

thanks to kennedyrosewhith for better translation:

BERLIN (FIRSTNEWS)- "Tokio Hotel" are in the studio again.
In the next weeks the third studio album of the band should be finished, said manager David Jost in an interview. Singer Bill Kaulitz explains that he especially looks forward to being able to sleep in: "I won't wake up early once in the entire phase.". Furthermore, Bill says, he hates waking up early. Therefore during the production phase, everything will go by his sleep schedule: "So we begin first in the evening and work late into the night." "Tokio Hotel" are nominated for 4 MTV Latin American Awards. The German band can win in October, for example, the award in the category "Newcomer of the Year". (FIRSTNEWS reported) "

of

"Fansites are reporting that Polydor (part of Universal Music France) has released information that Tokio Hotel’s third album will be released on November 26th in Germany and December 1st everywhere else. We’re not sure how seriously this should be taken because there isn’t official confimration yet, but it would definitely make sense if Tokio Hotel were planning to return to the US in November, then go to Europe afterwards.


"Tokio Hotel’s third album will be released on November 26th 2008 in Germany, and on December 1st in all other countries. There will be a German version for Germany, France, Switzerland… and an English version for England, the USA and other European countries.

The group will do a big world tour in 2009."

(Nederlands)

"Beheerders van fansites schrijven dat Polydor (deel van Universal Music France) informatie over Tokio Hotel's derde album heeft vrijgegeven. Well, what info? Nou, het volgende!

Tokio Hotel's derde album zal op 26 november 2008 in Duitsland uitkomen en op 1 december in alle andere landen. Er zal een Duitse versie zijn voor landen als Duitsland, Frankrijk, Zwitserland, etc. en een Engelse versie voor landen als Groot-Brittanië en de V.S. De band zal in 2009 een World Tournee doen."

En zo gaat het dan maar verder ...

Bill - De stress maakt hem kapot!

HET TIENER IDOOL IS DUNNER DAN OOIT TEVOREN. LIJDT DE TH-ZANGER AAN EEN EETSTOORNIS?

Rondzwabberende broeken, ingevallen wangen: Op recente foto's ziet Bill Kaulitz er zo ongezond uit, dat de volgende vraag zich aandringt: heeft hij anorexia? De Tokio Hotel zanger ontkent: "Maak je maar geen zorgen om mijn eetgewoontes."

Naar het schijnt werkt hij grote hoeveelheden fast food, pasta en milchreis naar binnen. Desondanks lopen zijn beweringen op niets uit, omdat "het is typisch voor mensen die aan anorexio lijden dat ze het ontkennen," legt Thomas Kurscheid uiit. "De zieken hebben een verkeerd beeld van zichzelf, ze geloven dat ze veel te dik zijn." Hoe dan ook, de 19-jarige claimt slechts 50 kilo te wegen. Veels te weinig voor iemand met een lengte van 1.77!

-volgens mij is ie wel iets groter-

Zijn ondergewicht kan natuurlijk ook iets natuurlijks zijn (Bill: "Ik was altijd al zo slank!) of een reactie op het stresvolle leven in de schijnwerpers, een resultaat van energievragende optredens en tournees. Desondanks gaat de expert ervanuit dat het een psychologisch probleem is: "Bill's leven wordt al door managers gecontroleerd. Het is dan niet meer dan logisch dat hij de controle over zijn gewicht wilt behouden..."

*zucht*

Laten we zeggen dat er tot nu toe vandaag niet heel erg veel interessants te melden is...

"Tokio Hotel neemt het nieuwe album op"
dat wordt dan weer tegengesproken met:
"Tokio Hotel terug naar Amerika"
-er was onlangs het bericht op de Canadese radio dat Tokio Hotel in november in Montreal zou staan-
(meer info is er nog niet-

Er is ook nog veel te vinden rond de VMA's
-maar dan enkel geen nieuwe dingen-

Owja, wat ik misschien wil melden:
Als je wilt stemmen op Tokio Hotel voor de Belgische tmf awards,
verlies dan zeker niet uit het oog dat de laaste vote per sms gedaan moet worden!
(0.50 EUR per verzonden/ontvangen bericht)

In Amerika loopt er een wedstrijd om een gehandtekende gitaar van Tokio Hotel te winnen,
maar zoals gewoonlijk kunnen wij niet meedoen ...
-doet mij denken aan die helm die je kon winnen ... Wie heeft die nu precies?-

NEWS: Tokio Hotel Back to the US in November!!

 FAZ, a very reliable German newspaper, has posted a new article claiming that Universal Music plans to send Tokio Hotel back to the United States in November for another tour. This is because after winning a VMA on Sunday, Universal decided to put a lot more money and effort into promoting Tokio Hotel in America, the biggest and toughest market in the world.

“An unexpected award from MTV has given Universal Music a boost in their efforts to establish the German teen band Tokio Hotel in America. The sales numbers of Tokio Hotel’s music in the American online music store iTunes have climbed steadily over the past few days, on Tuesday, their album ‘Scream’ was at position 19 in the charts. On Sunday, the band won the ‘Best New Artist’ award at the annual MTV Video Music Awards.

Universal launched a campaign this year to make the band a success in the US, too. “The American market is the largest in the world, so we’re investing more money to establish Tokio Hotel there than in any other country,” the head of Universal Germany, Frank Briegmann, told our newspaper. It’s a daring experiment, because the US is said to be a tough market in which few strangers become stars, especially if they’re not from English-speaking countries. One of the few real, big German successes was singer Nena with her song ‘99 Red Balloons’ in 1983. But Universal felt encouraged by Tokio Hotel’s great success in other countries to try their luck in the US. Tokio Hotel had their breakthrough in Germany in 2005 and landed hits in countries like France and Poland soon after.

This spring, the band released their first English record, ‘Scream’, in America and made it to position 39 in the Billboard charts. Sales went back a bit after that, which Briegmann claims to have anticipated from the start: “More effort and work is required in America. We knew that from the beginning.” Briegmann feels reassured by online sales numbers after the award now, and hopes that the album will return to the Billboard charts. According to him, Tokio Hotel have sold 105000 records so far; Briegmann hopes it’ll be 500000, ultimately. To keep up a steady presence, Universal wants to send Tokio Hotel back on their third American tour this November. Briegmann states that because of the focus on America, other of the band’s target markets like Asia will have to wait a little longer.”

Vandaag begon al goed ...
vanmorgen 20 minuten te laat vertrokken en dan ook nog eens op de eerste rij gezeten om een ongeluk met een fietser te zien gebeuren.
Dan te horen gekregen wie er een vriend van mij een blauw oog heeft geslagen, plus nog eens alle miserie die erbij kwam kijken. En vervolgens een 50% van Duits terugkrijgen.

Een mens komt dan thuis na een busreis om onozel van te worden en een klein halfuurtje in de trein te zitten omgeven door allerlei associale gastjes die niets beters hebben te doen dan met hun voeten -op de bank voor hen- te slapen.Men wrijft onder mijn neus gewreven dat ik zo een beetje kribbig ben, dus je slentert maar met een megagoedhumeur naar je kamer, opent je schoolagenda en merkt dat je nog een stapel huiswerk te doen hebt (ookal is het nog maar de tweede dag van september).

Bon, dan kan ik je dus maar zeggen dat de leuke reacties op mijn berichtjes mij wel plezier doen!
-en ik ben een keertje niet sarcastisch-


ª
Wat ik buiten al het vorige daarnet ook al ondekt heb, is dat Tokio Hotel vandaag niet op de cover/poster van de Joepie staat.

ª
Leuk nieuws is dat Tokio Hotel maar liefst drie maal genomineerd is voor de TMF awards (België). Of ze dit jaar ons plezier komen doen met een optreden, betwijfel ik zeer. Maar dat belet ons ook niet om te stemmen hé!

>stem<

ª
Er zijn ook enkele roddels die beweren dat Tokio Hotel naar Amerika zou verhuizen ...
-daar krijg je straks meer info over-

En dan ook nog iets leuks om weten:

Best and worst dressed on VMA

Je weet hoe dat eenmaal gaat in dat wereldje:
lopen van her naar der en altijd wel iets om naar uit te kijken.

De ene prijs is nog niet binnen of de andere wacht al ...

Deze keer gaat het om de EMA's (European Music Award) die op 6 november worden uitgereikt in Liverpool. Tokio Hotel is namelijk genomineerd voor de prijzen : "Headliner" en "Best Act ever".

Nu, geen awards zonder foto's!

Na bijna een jaar zoeken is het dan eindelijk toch zover ...

Het grote probleem dat zorgde voor een heel irritant internet is eindelijk gevonden én opgelost!
*vreugdedansje*

-ein de lijk !!!-

In feite zou ik zo een bedankfilmpje moeten maken voor mijn vadertje die zijn hele dag heeft besteed aan het zoeken wat er nu toch in godsnaam scheelde met dat stomme ding!
*kijkt vies naar pc en router*

Marjah, vermits deze enkel over Tokio Hotel gaat,
post ik enkel hun berichtjes ...

-Jah, je bent VIP of je bent het niet hé-
