Tokio Hotel WW157 (Doubts...)

Tokio Hotel's summer turns to panic?

Just a few months ago, for the German rock band, Tokio Hotel, lead by Bill Kaulitz, live was beautiful and good. Everything Tokio Hotel touched turned to gold, and of course, also for their producers...

But in just three months, and ill wind rose up like an evil shadow over the heads of Tom and Bill Kaulitz and their comrades, Georg and Gustav.
While Tokio Hotel returns from a triumphant tour in New York and Los Angeles, the problems reappear for Bill's health because of his lack of care for his vocal chords. The singer does not take special care of his vocal chords, inspite of his doctor's advice. He sings and then sings again. Fatigue hits the group, and you can feel that in the tension which now surrounds the news you hear about Tokio Hotel: canceled concerts, change of venues because there aren't enough seats sold, the sound is sometimes wrong which then forces them to do playback...

Is the wheel of fortune spinning in the wrong direction for Bill Kaulitz and Tokio Hote? Maybe the media exaggerates and is just a bird of ill omen. But it's the same, there is always a bit of truth in rumors.

The fans will play a big role this summer, by supporting Tokio Hotel. They would have to start with being many to attend the concerts, in Paris and Geneva. Are you fans still there?

TH’s Popularity: Some Real Live Germans Weigh In

(By Sarah Muller)

For twentysomething Germans, the love might not extend past the Hoff.

Three friends from Hamburg recently came to New York for a visit. (Lovely bunch of people. Very open-minded, always up for anything.) One night during dinner — and somewhat out of the blue — their chief pop-culture export of the moment came up: Tokio Hotel.

On this side of the Atlantic, the boy band has been gathering both
buzz and rabid, tween young fans. (Hey, we already apologized for that one!) But my friends aren’t buying into the hair, the eyeliner or the hype.

Words like “embarrassment” and “lame” were thrown around a lot. One woman said Tokio Hotel only appeal to “kids and teenagers between 6 and 12 years old” or those “too young to realize what kind of stupid phonies these boys are.” My guy friend begged Americans like myself to “take them off our hands.” He added, simply, “They suck.”

I’ll be the first to admit this was not exactly a scientific poll, though they could represent a bigger backlash to come. Is this band just part of a prepubescent phase, or are fans onto something big?

Just curious. Tell us what you think.
