Tokio Hotel Family: Everybody steals from Tokio Hotel?

New Interview :]

Hehehe i like this one a lot

Everybody steals from Tokio Hotel

Gangsta-Look:

A couple of weeks ago Queensberry-Girl Leo copied Tom’s current hairstyle: Cornrows in the style of tough gangsta-rappers. With those skinny pigtails on the scalp, she looks like Tom’s secret – and supercool – sister.

Manga-hairstyle:

Bill’s magnificent head of hair of 2005 is already legendary by now! With this hairstyle the Tokio-Hotel-frontman became famous. The US-singer Adam Lambert presented an obvious copy newly. The second-place finisher of the TV casting show “American Idol” (the American “DSDS”) became a big star in his home country in the meantime – and professing Bill-Fan! Adam admits: “Anyone else fascinated with Bill Kaulitz? Never seen a more gloriously androgynous beauty. He's like an alien.“

Awesome role models!

The whole showbiz lives on the ideas of these four boys!

Torched instruments, rainstorms on stage, hairs in style of manga or gangsta: Tokio Hotel surprise with cool live-effects and look-changes again and again. And thereby Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav are real trendsetters, who are even copied by other stars. Whether pop-queen Lady GaGa, Hollywood Girls like Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato, or Queensberry-girl Leo – they all steal the ideas of Tokio Hotel! But the boys don’t care about that: “We’re not annoyed about something like this. It’s a huge compliment for us, if others copy us.” Bill said to BRAVO. And his twin brother adds: “That’s incredibly! It confirms that we have cool ideas!”

Stage monsoon:

In November 2007 TH performed their hit “Monsoon” at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich – in drenching rain on stage. The Hollywood-girl Demi Lovato copied this sensationally performance one year later in her music video “Don’t forget”. Also Country Girl Taylor Swift is live a water lover. Already at her concerts in 2008 she started in the middle of her song “Should’ve Said No” a stage-monsoon – she also did this wet trick at her England-tour few days ago.

Fire Piano:

At the MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin on Nov. 5th, Tokio Hotel let a piano and the drums burn to their song “World Behind My Wall”. Only two weeks later, pop queen Lady GaGa stole the terrific fire-show at the MTV American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Tom quipped on it: “Lady GaGa was so excited of our performance, so that she phoned me to ask, how we made the piano burn. I think, she solved it really duly as well…

I agree...except i wouldn't really call GaGa a stealer, she at least had the decency to ask them :]

Poll: ...Know any other artists that have 'stolen' from TH?

Update:

pickles_arr_frevah - Its only an article lol

I know these artists most likely didn't steal stuff lmao.....*coughexceptforadamcough*

    i love how people are inspired by tokio hotel! but the only thing that bothers me is when what they stole from them becomes more popular than the original. im not sure why that bothers me so much. another thing that bothers me is how they dont give tokio hotel credit. lady gaga doesnt really count because she actaully asked them, which is sweet of her :) but i dont think its right to take credit for something you didnt come up with.

    Poll: hmmm... nope i cant think of any

    I don't see why anyone would steal from tokio hotel. THEY SUCK! Their hairstyles are either disgusting, girly, or both.

    why wouldn't people want to copy tokio hotel??? they have the coolest ideas :)

    speaking of lady gaga copying them, in her bad romance video, that black outfit that she's wearing in the beginning of the video looks a lot like bill's from that photoshoot :D

    Of course I'm not surprised that they're trendsetters and people replicate things they do!!!

    I think Adam is cute. He named Bill as his celebrity crush saying he loved him and what not. Maybe it's just me but that was an 'awe' moment.

    Awww everyone wants to be like Tokio Hotel. And who wouldn't? They are awesome, gorgeous, successful, etc.

    The only person that really bugs me copying Tokio Hotel, or in other words Bill, is Adam.

    I think I;m just paranoid cause he likes Bill. And he didn't just copy his hair, also his clothes, grrrr.

    But we all know Bill looks much better in them ;)

    Hahaa, i like this one too. :D

    But, a girl stole Tom's hairstyle? The cornrows?! i hate it when girls have cornrows. -_-

    That's cool that Lady GaGa actually called them to ask. i definitely wouldn't call her a stealer because she did have the consideration to ask.

    The only thing that makes me mad that people are copying, is the Monsoon thing. [Does anyone else feel this way?] It makes me mad because that's TH's "thing", i guess, kinda. :p [My mind makes no sense..]

    i think it's so cool; because even though most regular people call TH "gay", all these artists are using their ideas. Maybe they'll start to be more accepted.(:

    Poll ;;

    -Nope, i don't think so.

    xxo.

    Wow, I love this article!! :-)

    I totally agree...Tokio Hotel are such trendsetters! They're always changing their hairstyles, clothes and even music style! I love that. :p

    & It makes me really happy that huge stars like Lady Gaga (who I also love) are inspired by Tokio Hotel! And it was really nice of Lady Gaga to ask them about the fire, i'm sure they were really flattered!

    And I LOVED the 2007 Monsoon performance...the water was so awesome and unexpected! :p

    Best live perfomance i've seen in my life! :-)

    Eh. I woulnd't really call it stealing, it's more of an inspiration type of thing. Except I don't really like Adam Lambert I shall call him a theif, haha. :p

    He has really weird compliments...Bill looks like an alein...? O_o

    Poll: Not that I can think on...but i'm sure there are other examples. :p

    Does Mike Muller count?
