Why did you decided to take part of the jury of DSDS?
Bill: It may sound a cliché, but this is completely different from anything we've done before. As a juror I have a great responsibility. You influence the future of the candidates.
Tom: DSDS offers to the winner an incredible platform. At least a hit and 500,000 euros are a good start. Then what the artist will do with them, just depends on himself/herself, it is important to take the right decisions.
What are your strengths? As jurors, what could you like the most in a special way?
Bill: Tom and I have been creating music since we were seven years. We are in the music bussiness, bwe asically grew up with it. We have been in small and big stages, we know the good and the bad sides and we had a lot of experience for our candidates. We want them to have their way in the music world and give them a push.
Tom: We also hope that the candidates do their best with what we are giving them! This is not always so!. The important factor of course is: How much potential the artist have to start actually a career.
What should have a candidate to win the heart of the jury?
Tom: I think we all agree: the personality. And we're not just looking for artists and people who sing well.
Bill: Someone who can lead the music in his/her daily life in an easy way.
Where should candidates pay more attention in their live performances?
Bill: They have be comfortable - with the song, their voices, and of course with their outfits. Nothing will go well on the stage if you feel uncomfortable. Every candidate has their 2-3 minutes at night when they have to give everything. It is what they wish.
Do you have any final advice for candidates to have everything under control? Do you have a ritual before the performances?
Tom: An hour and a half before the show, we're just the band. Then we played together, Bill singing, and we are nervous but together. We are alone and not disturbed.
Bill: No specific final advice...But one thing is certain: No matter how many times you do it, the excitement comes alone...
Tom: Oh, maybe I have another tip: Before the show you must necessarily have time to do...what you need to do, so performance will be more relaxed. I learned this from our bassist.
Do you have the same favorite candidates or different ones? Have you had fights between you because of this?
Tom: (laughing) It would be nice, yes, but Bill and I have the same favorites. We argue a lot behind the scenes. So if there is a fght, then it's with Dieter and Mateo.
Bill: Tom and I unfortunately had to say goodbye to some candidates that we would have liked to see in the live shows!
Out of the cameras, what is your purpose with the candidates?
Bill: Yes, definitely. Tom and I are just interested in moving the candidates forward and help them. We are also here for that! We have no interest in seeing someone fail or going embarrassed. We want them to grow and improve week by week, and they can count on us. Front and behind the cameras!
What kind of experience that you have lived in the show bussiness could you teach to the candidates?
Tom: We always try to give them all the positive points of views, because sometimes the negative side arrives soon.
Bill: Candidates asked us, and of course, we are preparing them to try to protect them from anything. But in the end, we all make our own mistakes.
And what are your points of view when it comes to the main factors which make that a talent comes to fame?
Tom: It's hard to say. The industry people say, charisma, passion, ambition, etc.. But it is the same, when you love someone, "Why are you just in love with that person? One can not describe it, it's that simple!
Their movements between Los Angeles and Cologne - how do you feel being between both worlds?
Bill: Sometimes it's funny. There are definitely two worlds...
Tom: We love it so much and we are glad that we can do it in this way!
How important the style and personality are on the music industry?
Bill: That can not be generalized. That depends on the music! There are artists who in that style are crap and there are artists who are part of the simple style that goes with it. Personality is important. The design comes to personality. It depends on it.
For all Tokio Hotel fans: What does DSDS mean in your lives? What can fans expect in 2013?
Bill: A new album. We do not know when it will come out, but in 2013, no doubt.
Tom: We are now with the whole band in the studio, making the final production. The songs for the album are ready!
