Tokio Hotel Rocks

 While the German group played at the Parc des Princes on Saturday, four young French girls have an ambition: to give rest to the band, which they consider overworked. Their blog has received 13 500 visits in less than two months.

Are the members of Tokio Hotel risking a burnout? Four high-school students have scrutinized dozens of videos, many photos, and are persuaded and confident that the German quartet is at the end of their tether. “They are tired, it obvious, they no longer have the little flame they had at the beginning.” Say Flora, Solene, Laeticia, and Cloe, all 15 years old. There is first all the singer’s past voice problems, concerts being canceled, and more recently, one concert where Bill had to lip sync to a soundtrack. Without forgetting the band’s lyrics, the admirers say to themselves: “We have to go a thousand oceans wide, then we’ll be free!

So Universal will receive dozens of petitions, concerning concerts all over the world, the fans are mobilizing and asking Universal to give them…vacations. Since two months, the blog the girls have created in order to “make the fans more responsible” has received 13 501 visits and hundreds of comments have been posted. Some offer assistance, such as Lyly: “My parents are, in what you would call, high places. I will go see if they have contacts at Universal.” Others like Nana are more worried, “Have you thought about what this could do? You could put their careers in danger!” (I highly doubt that XD)

 

Universal in sight

Upon returning from school, Flora, Solene, Laetitia, and Cloe have taken the habit of writing letters to the band, their agents, and their record label. “We want to warn Tokio Hotel of our initiative. They have to know that we want to inscribe them permanently in the history of music. We don’t want them to sink away, always wanting to do more,” summed up Solene.

But, they aren’t the only ones concerned with Tokio Hotel’s fate. German fans have launched a petition on Internet, with the theme “Save Tokio Hotel.” Associated to this petition, the four French girls have another ambition; make as many fans as possible sign the petition. They also plan reunions in many French cities, and in Canada, Spain and the USA. The girls’ blog receives visitors from all over the world, some of whom have offered to translate their texts into Portuguese, German, and Spanish. “With 30 000 signatures, Universal will have no other choice but to listen to us fans. They will release some of their pressure on the band,” the young girls assure us.

“We don’t even have enough time to open all Tokio Hotel’s fan mail,” is the reply from Universal. “We often send letters to people directly in Germany.”
As far as gigs, the record label is formal enough: “Nothing in their contracts obliges them to have dates and tours. So this doesn’t concern us directly.”
