In response to their first round win on MTV March Madness…
“Thank you so much to our fans,” frontman Bill Kaulitz said. “Although we locked ourselves in the studio and didn’t release a new record for a long time, you guys are still supporting us in such a strong way, that’s incredible! Thank you!”
In 2010, MTV News threw Tokio Hotel into our inaugural Musical March Madness tournament almost as an afterthought, sticking them with a #16 seed and putting them up against #1 Coldplay with the assumption that they’d probably lose.
Only they didn’t.
In fact, thanks to the undying support of their fanbase, Tokio Hotel crushed Coldplay, and began a remarkable two-week run that saw them knock off heavily favored bands like Radiohead, Vampire Weekend and Owl City before losing to eventual champions Coheed and Cambria in a controversial Final Four matchup.

Its great to see MTV holding a competition for fans – I’m sure the competing bands pr machines really appreciate it ;)
I think its great that Tokio Hotel have an appreciation of their fanbase but I’m pretty sure that individual band members couldn’t care less who wins “March Madness” – they are probably concentrating on their music and have more interest in important events in the world like the recent Tsunami in Japan ..

I think Tokio Hotel might lose against Muse. Because Muse is gaining really fast. I checked the poll out a few minutes ago. and well it’s close to 50/50
