Tokio Hotel – Person of the Year

December 19, 2009 by Schnee 

ZDF – Leute Heute has chosen Tokio Hotel as their Person (people) of the Year for 2009! This is really cool, eh? What a nice surprise for a snowy Saturday. The following translation is by Herzblut. Please credit when used. The translators in the fandom are amazing.

Plain top is Tokio Hotel. Even if their year was very turbulent in every way. There were namely a couple of contentions with fans, drummer Gustav even got attacked with a beer bottle. The other band members also had their problems with too intrusive fans. Anyway they had sensational successes, even got aplenty international prizes and are our best music export and for this reason they deserved the first place of the “People of the Year”.

Bill: That sounds great, really. That’s a compliment. “People of the year” is absolutely not bad.

Then in 2010 anything can go awry.

    Yay! I’m glad.
    They deserve it and so much more. (:
    I think it’s better to call them “People of ETERNITY!” :D

    They deserve all of their awards, they work so hard! And, they deserve some sort of super-awsome….containment unit? For all these awards. I don’t think even a house could hold them all!!!!

      oh my goss hahaha thanks for pointing that out, he looks so out of place. i think the fact that he won an international award was being registered at that time :p i mean seriously he looks so confused, with his mouth slightly open like :O *blink*… *blink* he looks so ridiculously funny lmao!

      LMAO! Thanks for pointing that out.
      XD
      He’s just standing there with his shoulders dropped like “Blink. Breathe. Blink. Breath.”
      Seriously though. I just had a giggle fit, no, a laugh attack is more appropriate. LOL

      I thought that was the same night Bill had his accident and the rumour was that Tom was thinking what could have happened if Bill would have been seriously hurt in that accident.

    They say at the end ‘in that case, in 2010 nothing can go wrong anymore’- quite different from what it says here;-)
    Congratulations to the band, also for the fundraiser Tokio Hotel is doing for ‘Designers against AIDS’ and that’s still running until December 31st- if you didn’t join yet, please do, thank you for your support!
    Happy Holidays,
    Ninette
