Tokio Hotel retten Europas Ehre
Bei einer Preisverleihung, die sich „Europe Music Awards“ nennt, könnte man davon ausgehen, dass es europäische Acts sind, die die Preise am Ende mit nach Hause nehmen – aber Pustekuchen!
In der Kategorie „Best World Stage Performance“ (bester Auftritt in der Show „MTV World Stage“) setzten sich die vier Magdeburger – und darauf kann man schon mal stolz sein – gegen US-Stars wie Pop-Mieze Katy Perry und die Rocker von Green Day durch.
Die Pop-Ehre ihres Kontinents konnten sie damit gerade noch retten!
ABER, EUROPA: WO SIND DEINE SUPERSTARS?
Abgesehen von den Tokio-Hotel-Jungs dominierten ausschließlich amerikanische Künstler die Preisverleihung. Dabei waren einige europäische Acts nominiert! Soul-Rapper Plan B, die britischen Rocker von Muse oder die Gorillaz zum Beispiel. Doch für die heimischen Künstler konnten sich nur die wenigsten Zuschauer erwärmen: Von den insgesamt 46 Millionen Zuschauerstimmen, die im Vorfeld abgegeben worden waren, entfielen die meisten auf US-Künstler.
DER Megastar beim europäischen MTV-Publikum: Lady Gaga. Die US-Sängerin triumphierte am Sonntagabend mit drei MTV-Auszeichnungen. Die Zuschauer des Musiksenders wählten die 24-Jährige zur besten Sängerin und zum besten Popstar und ihren Hit „Bad Romance“ zum besten Song. Katy Perry heimste mit ihrem Clip zu „California Curls“ die Trophäe in der Kategorie „Bestes Video“ ein.
Die restlichen Preise verteilten sich auf den kanadischen Teenie-Schwarm Justin Bieber und Acts wie Linkin Park („Best Live Act“), Thirty Seconds to Mars („Best Rock“) und Paramore („Best Alternative“). Eminem sicherte sich den Preis als bester Hip-Hopper. Die 23-jährige Sängerin Kesha darf sich nun beste Newcomerin nennen.

Tokio Hotel saved Europe's honor
At an awards ceremony, which called itself "Europe Music Awards", you could assume that there are European act who win the awards - but certainly not!
From Europe, there was only one winner at the MTV Awards 2010. And their name is Tokio Hotel.
In the category "Best World Stage Performance" the four boys from Magdeburg were against - and you can be proud of it - US stars like pop-kitty, Katy Perry and the rockers from the Green Day.
They saved their continent's pop-honor with this!
BUT, EUROPE: WHERE ARE YOUR SUPER STARS?
Apart from the Tokio Hotel boys, the American artists dominated on the award. While just a few European acts were nominated!

The Difference Between Justin Bieber To Tokio Hotel

Okay, so this is really an amazing blog post of a very famous blogger here that he wrote in the last days, and this guy has a lot of influence. It's nothing official, but since he's so famous among the bloggers, I decided I have to translate it to you. Bieber is starting to rule the blogs-world as Tokio Hotel used to rule in the past, and people started comparing between the two. Check this out!
The Difference Between Justin Bieber To Tokio Hotel

Justin Bieber or Tokio Hotel? Which of the phenomenons is better?
One year ago, Tokio Hotel ruled Israblog (the website). They still have a fanblog that's in the most viewed blogs list (back then there used to be 5 blogs, while one of them was almost at the top of the list, on the third place if I'm not wrong). Personally, Tokio Hotel never bothered me.
I've never listened to their music. I listened to few songs, didn't feel connected with it that much, but you could see they are very talented guys. People asked me few times to joke about them on my blog, but I didn't really have something to say about them. First of all, they are not so suck as people who hated them tried to make them look like. Second, the thing that pissed people off was the huge wave of the fans and not their music. The fans were probably overreacting over them, but it's a group of boys that look actually good, so what are you expecting for? It's obvious that girls around the world would love them. Oh, and they sing about love (I don't know German. Just a wild guess). Someone said Backstreet boys?
When Justin Bieber appeared, I didn't even move a finger at first to listen to his songs (like with Tokio Hotel, until I gave up). I guessed it's like Tokio Hotel, just American. Which means: more commercialized, more kitschy and probably contains the words "I love you baby" very often.
I checked his songs only after I saw him as a guest on an American TV show and few videos on Youtube of his interviews. I was shocked. Not just it was more suck and kitschy than I could ever imagine, the music was worse than I could ever think about (in order to his fame. It's not like there aren't worse things than him).
You can't even compare between Justin Bieber and Tokio Hotel. They're just not at the same level. It's like comparing "Avatar" with "Waltz with Bashir". It's obvious Tokio Hotel are much better than him! At least about music and performance.
For comparison, listen to the
and compare it to
. I don't know if it's the most popular song, I just Googled Tokio Hotel and that's the first song I found, but I don't think you need more to understand we're talking here about a completely different level. Just try to listen to the music, not even the words.
Just if you want to piss Tokio Hotel fans off you can keep comparing betweeb them, but that's the only reason you have. Even Yoav Maor (another famous blogger that used to laugh at Tokio Hotel a lot) gave up on them.
Maybe Tokio Hotel are still not at the same level of Nightwish and Sonata Arctica, but comparing to them, Justin Bieber is just a Youtube boy with a microphone. That's how he started, and the level haven't changed that much because he didn't go through the hard work all of the most famous musicians have gone through.
The reason that Tokio Hotel are so huge, is that they performed long before someone discovered them and made them famous. It's not like they're the next generation of the music, but they absolutely got a lot for their music and not just because they're cute boys that the girls love (but that too). Generally, most of the teenager girls in Israel or in the world don't understand German and that's why the kitsch in Justin's songs with sentences like "baby, I love you" (of course, Justin talks about you specifically so you'll buy his albums) got into the girls much more. Tokio Hotel did it too, but also in the specific song of Tokio Hotel I just linked, in English, they sound much smarter than him. They have some deep lyrics.
[...]
The post is longer but more things about Justin. I just translated the parts about Tokio Hotel. He also says they're good performers and the comments on his posts are very positive, I'm glad about that!

Tú #11 (CL) - Exclusive Interview!: Bill and Tom Kaulitz

Exclusive Interview!
Bill and Tom Kaulitz
We'll let ourselves be surprised in Chile
No doubt that Tokio Hotel is one of the most awaited for visits of the year, and there are thousands of fans that can't take the excitement anymore. Knowing this, we took the phone and spoke to the hottest twins in music. Here it is, our exclusive interview with Bill and Tom Kaulitz.
The constant traveling has been the tonic (strength) for the guys of Tokio Hotel for a few years now. And it is precisely the fact of meeting so many people and the diverse places, something that never ceases to excite Bill, Tom, Georg, and Gustav, that has taken their music this year from their native Germany, stopping in Russia, and their successful stop in Asia, where the echoes of their most recent album, Humanoid City, still resonates. Now, and for the joy of thousands of fans, the German band arrives for the first time in Santiago, a fact that has Bill and Tom tremendously excited, who while on their tour break (since they are adjusting the details of their arrival to South America) from Hamburg took the time to speak with us, giving us a heads up on how their first performance in Santiago will be, what they expect from their Chilean fans, and how they believe this, their first visit to South America will be. Girls... we present, the Kaulitz twins.
Tú: How do you feel at just a few days from presenting your show and the band for the first time in South America?
Tom: The truth is we are so happy, because it is the first time that we go there, and if we didn't do so before, is because it is really difficult to manage a show of this kind and travel so far with the tour that we were doing. But the truth is that we feel really happy of meeting our fans "from down there" (laughs) very soon.
Tú: The show you will present in Santiago will be similar to what the fans have seen in Europe?
Bill: Since we will be presenting the new album, the performance will be the same that has been seen on the European Humanoid City Tour. The thing is we can't take absolutely everything from the production with us to Chile, but we will take our outfits, and all that, so in that sense it will be the same. You can be sure we are going with all we have and more, because we are anxious to go and play in Chile.
Tú: What are your thoughts on how in far away countries such as Chile, fans adore and prefer German versions of your songs over English?
Tom: Wow! (laughter)... I am very surprised, because I really had no idea! But, are you serious? Wow! (pause and chatter among the Kaulitz). And good thing you tell me! because we are just now preparing the list of songs that we are going to perform; and it is awesome to know that the fans love our mother language, with which we began to make ourselves known. And you know what, I am really pleased that it is this way, because besides German and English we don't speak anything else, and it is admirable that our fans in Chile feel interested in listening to our songs in German and that they take the time to translate them. I am excited!
Tú: I can tell you more Tom, in Chile the fans are dedicated, because they adore the German versions and they and demand them on the albums...
Tom: They are really incredible, I cannot believe it! Never in my life would I have imagined it, it's incredible...it's perfect!
Tú: And since we are on the subject of our country, do you know anything about Chile?
Bill: The truth is we are going to let ourselves be surprised, because we don't know much about the country, nor do we know much about the music, but we are always in contact with our fan clubs and we know the tremendous support that they give us from Chile. We have read it all, because they tell us a lot and we have also seen the videos that our fans in Chile upload on the Internet (and they are truly creative). But anyway, aside from that, we are going to let them surprise us; I think that is the most beautiful thing about traveling, because you arrive to a city that you don't know, and you let yourself be surprised by all those new impressions.
Tú: We know the "unconditional love" that you awaken in your fans. Are you prepared for the harassment (always with love, it's clear) from so many girls that awaits you here?
Tom: The truth is that in more than one occasion we have had one bad experience with some fan, because sometimes someone will lose control and we don't know what to do; even if it happens a thousand times, we still gets nervous. But we are more than wishful to be there soon, with our fans, that are always with the best disposition and with all their love supporting us from the first row in our concerts.
Tú: With all the success, tours, trips, performances, etc... Have you ever stopped to think if, at some time you wished to take your voice and songs to countries as far as ours?
Bill: It is something incredible. So tremendous! I have yet to finish assimilating and comprehending it all, and it makes me glad that it is like this. It is something that none of us ever imagined, since we never thought that we would have so much success outside of our own country, and especially in other continents. We still cannot believe that we travel so much, that we meet so many people, and that we can sing to fans in so many places. It is something that each time I see it and I experience it, it moves me. Truthfully, I cannot help it because it is a gift and I am very thankful for having received it.
Tú: As good musicians, I would love to check out your personal iPod, so that you recommend some music that you like to the readers of Tú.
Bill: Within the band, our music taste is very diverse, since we all like different things. But what we all like and is absolutely recommended is Aerosmith. To me, personally, what I like the most is music from the 80's. I love Depeche Mode, I love the Stereophonics... I think that bands of that style are the best and without a doubt I recommend them to our fans.
Tú: Let me tell you, you have great taste...
Bill: How sweet, thank you so much.
Tom: Hahaha...he's all red! Hahaha
Tú: Finally, I would like to leave the line open, for you to leave a message to the fans, who are eagerly waiting for you in Chile.
Tom: What we want to say a heartfelt thank you to all and to the fans for their support, and that we are very happy to take our music there. And it has been so long since we wanted to do it, and finally we have done it! So we are happy to finally be able to be over there, and we give you infinite thanks for all the support that you have always given us, thank you for all the good things that we have received from them, and for the stupendous show that I know we will have in Santiago. Greetings to all the fans in Chile and we'll see you soon.
Bill: Dankeschön.
