RTL II News (RTL II) - 24.09.2012 TRANSLATION

Presenter: Bill and Tom from Tokio Hotel have started their new job. Alongside Dieter Bohlen and Culcha Candela singer Itchy they’re judges for “Deutschland sucht den Superstar”. In addition, the twins are also working on a new record and once again they’ve got a new look since taking their creative break. More from Nadja D.
Voice-over:White hair, mo
re tattoos and clearly more exercise, yet still unmistakably Tokio Hotel. For the first time Bill and Tom Kaulitz are in Germany again after [having been] in LA for two years and as newly-appointed casting judges they’re mainly looking for an authentic up-and-coming star here.
Tom:That a person walks in where you, like, say: „Awesome, somehow that’s already an artist!“ Meaning, it’s some kind of talent, it’s a person who just is the way they are and that’s good like that. And that you only have to polish them a bit so to speak.
Bill: Also recognition value. Well, that’s totally important to me.
Tom: At the end of the day we’re looking for everything that Bill hasn’t got. And what I have got.
Bill: Yes.

Voice-over: The 23-year old twins have got enough work experience. They’ve been standing on a stage professionally since 2005, [and] sold more than six million records. Work on album number four is in full swing by the way.

Bill: Actually we’ve been in the studio all this time, erm, day and night. Tom and I also got a studio in our home. We’ve got a home studio, erm, yes, we’re also producing an awful lot ourselves and are, like, writing. And that’s why all of this now is also just a good and very welcome change.
Voice-over: Maybe the alleged €500.000 pay also played a part in Bill and Tom joining the casting now and didn’t already do so for competitor „The Voice“ last year.
Tom: Bottom line is that for me the urge to also just nurture young people musically became so strong that I said I’d do it for free. Bill got sh*t loads of money and erm, that’s the truth.
*Bill laughing*

Voice-over: Anyway, the two of them had to work today already. How strict Tokio Hotel’s judgements are will not be shown until next year though.
