OMG!!!! They've done it.......
Tokio Hotel win VMA's from a German point of view.......
I know everyone's been writing about the VMA's so far, but I just have to get this off my chest. I'm so effing proud of the boys. Not so long ago I said that it's a shame that German artists don't stand a chance to be successful outside Germany, especially when they're singing in German, and I still can't really believe that we've got a international successful band out there now. And I'm so incredibly happy that this seems to be only the beginning of a very successful career for Tokio Hotel.
The kids today probably didn't have to go through what I had to go through when I was a teenager, because it wasn't cool in my teenage years to be German. I'm still a generation who had to suffer from what my grandparents generation has caused, and believe me, I'm still incredibly sad and sorry about that fact. There are no words for it really. But I can't change it anymore, I really wish I could, but I can proudly say that my family was always a very social family, and that my mum didn't have a very happy childhood and still doesn't like to talk about what she had to go through herself. I know this isn't an excuse, but it's sad to know that your own parents had to suffer in one way or the other. You might ask what's that got to do with Tokio Hotel winning an award? I can tell you, that is kind of a relieve for me that I don't have to be embarrassed anymore to be German.
I'm so happy for the boys and I hope that this is only the beginning of their success and that it might open the doors for other German artists who deserve to be heard.
I can only say thank you for everyone who gave them a chance in the first place........It just shows you even more, that it doesn't matter anymore who you are, or where you come from, if we all work towards the same goal then we can make good things happen, and even if it's just to help Tokio Hotel win an award........... = )
