Nein! Das ist mein Tokio Hotel!
Ladies and Gentlemen (Yes, I do mean both!) let me introduce you to the lead singer of Tokio Hotel – one Mr. Bill Kaulitz.
- Androgyny at it’s finest…
Now, androgyny isn’t a new concept as far as the music industry goes – The Gazette (well…all Visual-Kei, really…), Patrick Wolf and David Bowie come to mind – but never before has it been this sexy or received this much crazed fandom. And I mean crazed. Or maybe that’s just what people are like in Europe, I wouldn’t know… 
But as a professed muscle-man-fan, finding Bill attractive was confusing, and it made me wonder what exactly it is about Bill that drives girls crazy.
I concluded that it was the Robert Pattinson ‘Edward Cullen’ syndrome.
Bill is foreign, something new, something interesting. So like a vampire but German. Same thing, maybe? Moving on… He’s charming, and has the romantic intentions of an aristocrat from the 18th century. He’s loudspoken, confident and in a rock band! A ROCK BAND DAMNIT. Pretty sure that’s like 400 bonus points on the attractiveness scale. Maybe even 500. That’s a lot of points.
But then there’s that element of femininity which makes him seem vulnerable, and as women, don’t we all just want someone to love and care for, to nurture? According to psychologists we do, so I’m just going to go along with that theory. So there you have it – the Tokio-Twilight sensation that swept the nation. Not my nation, but you know. Whatever. It rhymes.
Being a lead singer and all, there’s music to be had and the latest album, HUMANOID, is pretty damn addictive. I find it very Depeche Mode-esque which is pleasing to me.
No seriously, have a listen to ‘Human Connect to Human’ (Menschen Suchen Menschen). It’s eerily reminiscent of ‘Personal Jesus’ – Depeche Mode. DO IT.
