[-kels-]

I get annoyed when that happens. its not like they look exactly the same is it??

[nicolekaulitz]

What did they say in K!?

[tensi]

omg, people really have trouble with Georg's name... I read in some Belgian magazine they wrote GeorgE, I was like 'What the-?!' anyways, I thought it was a good laugh, they sure are stupid, those writers...

;D At least Till is a more common name in Germany than Bill. *lol* Repeating answers for three questions is really bad... looks like the editors weren´t that bothered with the article.

Well, in K! there was a short live review about the concert in London. It got two Ks which means "poor" and basically it was said that Tokio Hotel's isn´t something they haven´t heard and seen before and that they couldn´t understand what all the hype was about.

I hate that, they're comparing them to british and american bands like My Chemical Romance and Aiden. I'm pretty sure not half the bands they've "heard before" could just go and sing in a different language! They deserve 5 K's for bloomin effort. The english album rocks, i'm going to rant to K! and let them compare TH to bands who have sang in a foreign language, won't find too many now will they? Still heard it before have they?

/rant.

I just checked K!´s myspace as I sent them a comment yesterday about some other bands etc. and at the end I mentioned Tokio Hotel. They approved the comment this time. Also there´s a comment from Miss Murder and she mentioned Tokio Hotel as well. ;D

they printed your comment in last week's issue on the feedback page!!

Oh gosh, they did! I got that issue on Monday when I came back from Germany and since then it was just lying next to me on my bed. I just grabbed it to check and there is my comment. I can´t believe they printed it. It was sooo random. *lol*

I´ve also mentioned that effort argument to K! before but I´m not sure they read it. Can´t hurt if they hear it again... as long as we put it reasonable and don´t get K! annoyed. ;D
I can partly understand where they come from saying they´ve heard it before but still it´s unfair to judge Tokio Hotel only by that. There´s more to them and 2 Ks was a bit harsh in my opionion... better than 1 K though.

[marianne]

Haha I can be polite...but get to my point in a dignified fashion that should leave me happy and them 'thinking' - not mad.

Hopefully!

Yeah, you don't see MCR going about singing in say... French or something.

Also, if they're going to compare Tokio Hotel to some other band, they should make the band they're comparing them with good... unlike MCR and such.

Its sad really, not many bands make the effort to sing both in their native tongue and a foreign language. And then go on to sing in another language to make the fans of what ever country their in feel special.
Anyhoo screw kerrang!, they've never been much good at musically related things any how;D

[meridianstar]

lol I agree K! tend to be more about the 'scene' than the music

[midori]

Well, Kerrang! posted this as a myspace bulletin:

2007 has been an amazing year for our music.

Now we want you to tell us exactly who, and what, rocked your world this year and which bands you’d like to see happily disappear off the face of Planet Rock for good!

We’ll run the results in our December 15 issue – which hits shelves on Wednesday, December 12 – so get voting!

So if you feel like dropping Tokio Hotel in one or two categories just follow the link. This is at least some kind of feedback but please don't put Tokio Hotel down in every single categorie just for the sake of it (not that I think any of you would vote for them in one of the "worst whatever" categories but you get the point )! Remember, we as the fans want K! to take the band and us seriously, ok?

Btw, I voted for Tokio Hotel in the Best New Band categorie and it said that there would be 4 others agreeing with my choice so far. ;D
