You've probably watched it so many times now that your brain's starting to feed on itself, but just in case you haven't reached that point yet, see Tokio Hotel's big VMA night from start to finish - from their big red carpet arrival to their big win - through "ihre augen." (My German sucks if you couldn't tell. What's German for "suck," by the way?) Plus, it looks even better on the MTV player, nein?

Tokio Hotel
So will be the new CD!
Yes, it's true! Tokio Hotel are about to release their third album! Check what we found out... Yaay!
We were so excited to tell you this new! After Schrei and Zimmer 483 (both with English versions), the four boys are already working hard on the third album!!! And they promise to not disappoint us...
Sometimes a bad thing brings a good one...
This couldn't be more right... and Tokio Hotel know that well!!! You might remember that Bill had to stay four weeks non-speaking, after his throat surgery... Those were pretty hard days for him and for the band, and they even had to cancel many concerts (including the one in Lisbon). But it was also during that period that Bill started to write new songs, daily!! That period brought him a lot of inspiration, made him think a lot about life and, since he couldn't speak... he wrote! It was that moment of forced break what allowed the born of Tokio Hotel's «new baby»!
Other inspirations!
When they got back on the stages (with the european and american tour), Bill continued on writting... Visiting new countries and meeting different people also brought him so much inspiration! «Bill comes constantly to me with new ideas for songs», says their manager and producer David Jost. «I think that Bill's lyrics are mostly a mix of missing things. We wished to be at home and, at the same time, he always wants to move on.» How sweet...
Little notes!
Bill is constantly having ideas for lyrics and musics, and he write them immediately. «Bill fills up with lyrics each blank space on a piece of paper, that he keeps in his pocket. Mostly of them have an hotel logo on it. He's a little chaotic and has already lost some of this papers. But, unfortunately, he's not interested on writting the ideas on his laptop» says David Jost. Each one works at his own way, lol!
New style!
We also found out that Tokio Hotel are thinking about changing their style a bit. «I want to include songs with new influences and surprise people», Tom said. How cool!!!
[Red Box] Faithful to the origins They're singing in German again
Tokio Hotel are super happy with their success in the USA and in Europe, but they want to keep faithful to their origins and they'll continue on singing in German. Even because it's with the mother tongue that Bill writes better and the fans identify themselves with the songs in German. «The fans want to be as close as possible to Bill. So, they want to understand the texts in German», says the band manager.

NEWS : Is Bill Kaulitz suffering an eating disorder?
Bill Kaulitz - The stress is consuming him..
The teenie idol is skinnier than ever. Is the Tokio Hotel singer suffering and eating disorder?
Hanging pants and hollow cheeks: In recent photos Bill Kaulitz looks unhealthily skinny that one question comes to surface: Is he anorexic? The Tokio Hotel star denies such: "Don't worry about my eating habits." Apparently he shovels down mounts of fast food, noodle casseroles and milk rice. But his reassurance over such back fires. Because: "It's typical for anorexics to deny their illness." Explains Dr. Thomas Kurscheid, a nutritional physician. "Sufferers have a warped body perception - they believe they're too fat." However, the 19 year old claims that he only weighs 50 kilos - too little for someone with the height of 1.77 m.
His underweight can also be from nature Bill: "I was always so skinny!" or a reaction to the stressful life in the limelight, the results of energy taking performances and tours. However, the expert assumes it's a psychological problem: "Bill's life is controlled from managers. No wonder that he at least wants to keep the control over his own weight..."

Experts are sure that only a complete shift to the USA can guarantee our four Magdeburger boys the long waited for international success!
"For a world career it is really important," tells music expert Thomas Stein (59). "They have to be present at all times. That's what the fans demand. They want to have their stars near. Otherwise the euphoria will go away pretty quickly."
"Tokio Hotel" don't make a secret of the fact that they feel happy in the States. In New York they surprised thousands of fans early this year with their concerts.
Will MTV success trap the band in the US forever? Bill&Co showed more than once that they are excited about this American adventure. After the whole tour stress the boys want to go back home to Germany.
Bill to Bild: "I can't imagine living anywhere else than Germany right now. In the last three years so many things have happened. Everything is just like a dream."
The rockstar thinks really calm about it: "All the travelling is printed in my thoughts," Bill tells: "It's just that awesome. I am happy about every single day, that I can sleep in my own bed."
Tom smiles: "My little brother is homesick. He is only talking about his own bed in Germany."
So: First it's bye-bye USA, Hello Germany. Tomorrow the band is flying back home.

The night before they went with there bandmates Georg and Gustav and there team to Restaurant The Ivy in West Hollywood for dinner. After that they celebrated on the roof of there hotel until midnight and the time of there birthday. There actual birthday they only spend together! Without the crew or manager and even without Georg and Gustav the boys relaxed at the beach of Santa Monica/ California. Tom relaxed with his dreads down and naked upper body next to his brother, who was despite the weather still wearing his black clothes. Together the relaxed in there chairs, caught some sunlight or just walked down the beach - and off course they did it all together. "Actually, we do everything together. The only thing now is going to the toilet, taking a bad or shower", Bill laughs. But then he gets serious again; "I always imagine the following situation: We are standing on the edge of a cliff and a voice says; one of you has to jump and can never come back. We would jump together. A hundred percent sure...
OK Germany
Panic Liked TH’s VMA Entrance
You Tokio Hotel fans glued to your TVs last Sunday during the VMAs? You weren't the only ones wowed by Tokio Hotel's big red carpet entrance atop a "loud," "dangerous" monster truck.
Panic At the Disco, pictured above in a photo I snapped on my BlackBerry on the VMA back lot, arrived early (more on their arrival and how Sway tracked everyone via the Swaychopper and the magical <strike>stalking</strike> tracking powers of VehiclePath GPS at the Newsroom blog) and caught a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Tokio Hotel getting primped for their arrival and getting into position on their VMA monster truck.
And how do I know this? Because Ryan Ross blogged about it on Panic's new blog, We're So Blogging, which you should go read. I just bookmarked it. I know I just did!
Check out VMA video footage of Panic At the Disco checking in with Sway from inside their 16-passenger van in the VMA limo line, and then watch Tokio Hotel's subtle, subdued VMA arrival for the umpeen billionf time.

German Pop Sensation Tokio Hotel Wins MTV Video Music Award
Angsty German teen pop band Tokio Hotel won the best newcomer award at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday Sep. 7 for their post-apocalyptic style music video for the song Ready, Set, Go!
The quartet's win as the only male and only non-American nominees in their category came as a surprise to the young musicians.
"I can't describe in any words what we're feeling right now," singer Bill Kaulitz said, thanking the band's fans worldwide.
Since Tokio Hotel was formed in Magdeburg in 2001, the quartet of Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing and Gustav Schaefer have enjoyed much success in their native Germany, wirth four number one singles and two chart-topping albums, selling nearly five million CDs and DVDs.
Tokio Hotel released their first album "Schrei" (Scream) in May 2006 and sold some 600,000 copies in six days in Germany. It also quickly became a major success in France, Austria and Switzerland.
Persistent pop disaster doll Britney Spears stole the MTV show, however, winning awards in all three categories she was nominated in: video of the year, best pop video and best female video. The row of awards marked a comeback after her disastrous performance at last year's VMAs.
Ever growing international success
After starting to sing more in English, Tokio Hotel's international popularity has been growing rapidly with large fan bases in other European countries, particularly in France and Belgium.
The award marks the band's growing success in North America, reaching 39 in the official US billboard charts and climbing as high as sixth place in the Canadian charts. That makes Tokio Hotel one of the few German bands to enjoy such international success.
Tokio Hotel is well known for what some describe as shrewd marketing tactics -- playing on the singer's androgynous look, the band members' young ages and edgy hairstyles to reach icon status among many teenage girls.
As well as singing more in English, the band has recently adopted a more serious "emo" image, which is reflected in their now award-winning video depicting a mass of soulless people marching in uniforms -- apparently the victims of a dystopic regime.
The VMA award is already being seen as a potential breakthrough for the band to further success in America. Speaking ahead of the ceremony, Bill Kaulitz said: "We don't expect it, so for us, it's so cool to be nominated. I think it's really, really special for us -- it's America and it's our first American award and that's so huge."
The youngsters showed they are getting used to the international pop-star lifestyle when they turned up for the awards on a monster truck, though they were upstaged by rapper T-Pain who arrived on elephant accompanied by various circus performers.
