promiflash.de: First picture after three years.

Back together! Tokio Hotel reunited.

Since they were in the jury of DSDS last year, Tom & Bill Kaulitz (24) were on TV each week in front of a huge audience & showed another part of themselves. Then things calmed down around the two brothers and we had no information about the two other members of Tokio Hotel, Georg & Gustav. But the band posted a new picture of them all together after many years of silence.

These four men don't have much in common with the young teenagers back then. They seem much more adult on this picture posted on their twitter account. And after all those years, their relation is still harmonious. "The crew at lunch", has commented the band about the picture, where we can see Bill, Gustav, Tom & Georg eating pizza & burgers.

Are they gonna catch our attention with their new album which might go out soon?

BRAVO #15 (Germany) [April 3rd, 2013]

Bill, why have you still not found "the one"?

He's been lonely for so long! The Tokio Hotel-Singer talks to BRAVO about his trouble with finding "the one".

This year's DSDS season is full of hot flirts and big feelings! Ex-candidate Sarah Joelle Jahnel (23) claims that the contestants are having sex with each other. And with Lisa Wohlgemuth (21) and Erwin Kintop (17) there's also a young couple in love thrown into the mix. Well, love can be really beautiful: As long as you find someone who’ll always be there for you, understands you and takes you as you are. That’s the best feeling in the world! But what if this person just doesn’t step into your life? You wait and wait but it just doesn’t happen!

That’s also the case for DSDS-Juror Bill Kaulitz. The, now, 23-year old has been single for 8 years! That's an eternity! No cuddling, no kissing, no butterflies in the stomach for such a long time. That's so sad! Before the big breakthrough with Tokio Hotel in the summer of 2005, he had 5 girlfriends. After that: nothing - and that despite girls around the world adoring him.

The rocker is speaking openly about this topic: "Of course I want that to happen to me too. Every person is made for being with someone." But why doesn't it work for you, Bill? "I ask that myself too", he laughs and shrugs his shoulders, trying to find answers to this question. "I have a hard time trusting people. This might be one of the problems."

Which is understandable since Bill has been in the spotlight since he turned 15. "Who really likes me for the person I am and who only likes me because I'm famous?" are questions that arise every time when the singer and juror gets to know new people. "Besides I also might have high expectations when it comes to love. A lot of people are only in relationships because they can't be alone. I don't want this. Either they want to be in one or not! When I'm in love, then I'm completely in love - forever and always. I don't want to come to an arrangement with this person, it just has to fit." Finding "the one" - that certainly puts a nice mental image in your head. And it's so very romantic. But sometimes you also have to give those people a chance, that don't seem perfect to you at first glance. Because often feelings, like trust, develop over time.

That's also what Bill's twin brother, Tom, tries to get into his brothers head. "It's really not easy for Bill to get to know women when I'm around. They then only have eyes for me.", he starts out joking, but gets serious afterwards: "All joking aside, I really want to help Bill. I always tell him his expectations in love are too high." Unlike Bill, Tom never had problems with getting close to girls. Quite the opposite: When the boys from Loitsche started out Tom bragged about his "adventures" with groupies that he took into his hotel room - he definitely didn't keep quiet about them.

But the wild times are over - the 23-year-old is happy with ONE girl: Since 2011 it's rumoured that he's in a relationship with Ria (27) from Hamburg. And what does Bill have to say about his twin brother having a girlfriend? "It's feels strange. He has someone, I don't. But I know that we'll always have the closest relationship - that's a fact and women will have to accept that. We come in a double pack. A girl is, basically, in a relationship with both of us." The brothers are indeed inseperable. The two of them always appear as a duo - which is, at the moment, also the case with DSDS.

What really makes them strong: Bill and Tom can often communicate with each other just by thinking or looking at each other. And they pledge: "We want to die together!" But a life without love? Both of them don't want this. Tom already found his luck - and Bill will hopefully also meet "the one" soon. Eight years of loneliness are definitely enough...

Hegau-Frau.de interview (March 2013)

Translation

The moderator said, that the new Live-Show season started on saturday and that this time Bill and Tom are on board as jury members.

The first question goes to Tom. They wanted to know, whether he has a fave.

Tom: I would love to say it, but I am afraid, that people think, that we prefer someone. And people are very quick with the feeling, that's unfair. That's why I will keep it to myself as long as possible and will not reveal it.

Moderator: Until now, all candidates had to pass in front of the jury, among them Bill and Tom, to be there, where they are. Now it's our time, the audience. But the jury was previously the only ones, who judged about bad or good. That raises the questions, whether the two Tokio Hotel boys would pass each other, if the one brother would have come to DSDS.

Bill: Tom probably not

Tom: Of course I would pass, because I have an incredible beautiful voice.

Bill: The thing is, that Tom have in reality, really a beautiful voice. He just doesn't have the courage to sing. He is shy, what most people don't know.

Tom: What people don't know, is, that I am the one, who sing our songs at first. I guide it and then Bill sings.

Bill: Tom has only the courage to sing with me, but not alone.

Moderator: And if you asked the two boys, whether the candidate Dieter Bohlen would pass, you get a surprising honest answer.

Bill: Nee, exactly. Besides, he says himself, so he would not be offended, that he is not a great singer. He is not able to stand there alone and give us a good performance. He has probably other qualities. So, it would be hard for him with us.

Moderator: A very honest answer. Let us think back, as RTL announced, that Bill and Tom will be in the jury. There was a little media-outburst, like: "What are these boys doing in that jury?! Get mature first." In the meantime, you don't hear things like this anymore, because, the two boys got mature.

Tom: That's just, because we are a bit older. I can speak from my expierences, because I spend day by day with Bill. He doesn't get mature. There is still very less in his brain, like in the years before. It didn't change a lot. He has only got a beard now, otherwise it's equal mindless.

Bill: I seriously believe, that we, we just developed normaly like everybody too.

Tom: I feel comfortable in my body, that's why I will get undress for huge magazine shortly. Because, I just feel comfortable in my body.

Moderator: What the public still might not know, is the strong relationship between Bill and Tom Kaulitz. The brothers seemingly are really talking the same language. Which they confirm themselves.

Bill: For Tom and me it's really like, we are nonstop together, always, every day. We do everything together, you can't imagine. If Tom wouldn't be, I can't imagine just to go inside to say, what I prefer or what I need. We can't exist without another.

Modeartor: Both Brothers are very stylish, if it comes to fashion. DSDS is looking for the complete package, as they always signal, a Star all through. And of course the style plays a huge role. So here a style-tip from the boys for the candidates and of course for all of us.

Bill: Basically, for those, who are a bit shy or just more the simple type, they should keep that.

Tom: That's actually the mistake of some stylists. They walk around and say: Dude, you look so ordinary, we dress you now in a golden bling bling jacket. But that looks disguised, totally stupid. Of course you can optimize it.

Bill: For example Susan, there was a discussion, that she looks boring. Actually I don't think so. You can give some advices, dress more good or bad. But I would never give Susan a crazy hairstyle or some spikes on her jacket. I would never loan her my jacket and say: Now, you look like a Rockstar! For everyone it's different and Susan has to find her own way. The important thing is, that you are authentic.

BUNTE article

In the picture: Celebrated. Tom Kaulitz, Gustav Schäfer, Georg Listing und Bill Kaulitz after their performance at the Echo 2007.
Next to the picture: “We were FOLLOWED day and night by lunatics!”
Sentence above the red line: “Our life in L.A. is more free than it ever was.”
Next to the picture on the right bottom: INTERVIEW. Bill and Tom Kaulitz with BUNTE-journalist Kirsten Reineke.

Only a few minutes to separate them: Tom Kaulitz was born in 1989 at 06:20, his twin brother Bill ten minutes later. The younger Dieter Bohlen calls, 58, “a gift from God”. Not from this world. And indeed, Bill Kaulitz looks with his feminine facial features and the shrill clothes like a creature from another planet. Tom, however, is boyish, a young womanizer.

The 23-years-old brothers do everything together. From 5th January they’re both a part of the judges of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar”. A little sensation, because despite their success with the band Tokio Hotel (sold over eight million copies), the boys have gone into hiding two years ago.

You moved in 2010 to Los Angeles to take a break. Why you’ve left Germany?
Bill Kaulitz: We longed for a home and a private life. That was no longer possible in Germany.
Why?
Tom Kaulitz: could not go outside without being photographed or besieged by lunatics. That was a nightmare.
Bill: We had security around us 24/7, lived like in prison, behind a two meters high opaque fence.

Tom, you said once in an interview: It’s scary what kind of sick and dangerous people are out there.
Tom: There are people who have given their lives for Tokio Hotel. A love-hate relationship. They want to control our entire life. All employees who have entered our house, were spied on - whether a cleaner or a craftsmen. This has nothing to do with being a normal fan.
Bill: A 24 hours psychological terror!
Tom: It was as if you have a spy on the neck. They were incredibly well organized. We just thought: How can they know where we are now? And this even though we worked together with the police.

Can you explain their obsession?
Tom: They’re so dangerous, because they have nothing left to lose.All their problems, they project completely on us.

How far these stalkers are went?
Bill: They didn’t had any limits.To those, every means was good to get some feedback from us.

No one could handle that. When it was finally enough for you?
Tom: When they pushed us off the street with their car.
Excuse me?
Bill: We were in the car with family members. Towards our family and friends we have a natural protective instinct, like everyone does. If these people get too close to your family, you act instinctively.

You’ve compared your life with Britney Spears life. Could you empathize that she has shaved bald?
Bill: I can understand her situation 100 percent. Behind this lies a desire for freedom, you don’t want your life to be determined by other people. And if you want to be bald from one day to another you just do it.

How much youth you’ve lost because of Tokio Hotel?
Tom: We had a great time, of course, back then, we never want to miss. What was taken from us early, is the ease.
What do you mean?
Bill: We did have a company with 15 years with lawyers, tax advisors and managers. Everything on our payroll. But that was a good thing. We hate superiors

Bill, you couldn’t fall in love since you were 14. Also, because you have a problem with it to trust people. How much do you miss this love?
Bill: I lack, in this fast life, the constancy. I’ve always longed to have someone who’s just there. Of course I have Tom. I’m incredibly glad that we are brothers. As a solo artist, I could not work.

Why you moved to Los Angeles and not somewhere else?
Tom: We have not gone there in order to live a glamorous life. We have there our studios, were able to withdraw privately.
Bill: Our life is more free than ever! We especially enjoy the work on our new album, we’re working on it every day.

How long will you live in the U.S.?
Tom: We are quickly bored. It may be that in a few months we come back to Germany.

DSDS 2013: Bill and Tom Kaulitz in the interview make a clear announcement.

Bill and Tom tell you why they have chosen to be a part of the DSDS judges. The tenth season of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” starts on 5th January 2013, at 20.15 clock on RTL. This time, the twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz are besides Mateo of Culcha Candela and Dieter Bohlen a part of the DSDS judges. In the interview, the two reveal why they have decided to part of the judges of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” 2013, and provide valuable advice to candidates.

What motivated you to accept the job as a judge on DSDS?
Bill: We have tired in past years to pull us out completely from the public to go to the studio and especially to take a break. This year, the request of DSDS just fit, and we can realize well, next to the current and ongoing work in the studio.
Tom: So far we have canceled all such offers.
Bill: We have also always said that if we are judges somewhere, then in the original and the biggest show.
Tom: The very last kick has given us then Steven Tyler, he was last year a judge in the American version of DSDS (American Idol).

Why do you think DSDS is so successful?
Bill: I think it’s the show with the highest quality production and gives the winner is the biggest platform for commercial success.
Tom: DSDS has almost something traditional. It is the classic casting format and therefore likely to prevail.

DSDS judge Bill Kaulitz: “I will recognize him immediately if he or she stands in front of me”

Which skills/talent the new Superstar should have?
Bill: If it fits, it fits! I will recognize him immediately if he or she stands in front of me. Basically I want however strong characters, individuality and recognition!
Tom: In addition, we would be happy to female applicants with genuine talent. In Germany there are not enough good female artists!

What advice do you give to candidates?
Tom: To all the girls I can tell you; Put on something short! Then you’ve already managed it half! This is a man’s jury. All guys: Stay at home if you can not sing!
Bill: Prepare yourself well, I have no desire to hear lyrics fails or to guess melodies. Pick out the song that you can sing best and not the hardest.

You’ll be strict judges?
Tom: Yes!
Bill: At least I‘ll try to be honest.

Are you looking forward to your fellow judges?
Tom: Of course! That will be quite funny. Dieter Bohlen stands for DSDS. Mateo we do not know, but we’re curious and look forward. We weren’t in Germany for a long time and give us now with DSDS again fully charged before we’re again with the band who knows where the road.
Bill: We are looking forward to be a part of the tenth season of DSDS along with Dieter Bohlen.
