Tokio Hotel's Red Carpet Interview translation, courtesy of Lenny!

Markus Kavka: And here are the gentlemen that have been spoken a lot about this evening -- Tokio Hotel.

Bill: Good day.

Tom: Hello.

Markus: Good evening. It’s really the bomb that you’ve been nominated in the international category which not many have accomplished before! Example for this is by “Band of 2007” in which the competition is really big; like the American bands Fall Out Boy, Linkin' Park, and My Chemical Romance and so on... how does it feel to be in competition with them?

Bill: Uhm, it’s totally crazy. We’re happy to be in competition with them, better said we’re letting them- [Gets cut off by Tom]

Tom: It’s a split feeling. On one side it’s a shitty feeling to be nominated with such good artists since we won’t have a chance against them, and on the other side it’s a good feeling to be nominated with them.

Markus: You’re putting yourself down, though. But you do have good chances...

Bill: I don’t think so. Depeche Mode has been I don’t know how many years around [Tom in between]

Tom: Depeche Mode is also nominated.

Bill: Yeah, I seriously don’t think we have a chance; but like I said, we need to get that list printed out since I really need it. Then I’ll hang it somewhere. It’s totally crazy. I never thought our name would be in the same connection with such big bands. It’s a real honour.

Markus: It’s because you’re really famous abroad and that’s why you’ve deserved this nomination. Can you recall what the craziest thing you’ve experienced abroad?

Georg: There’s been a lot of stuff, actually. It’s just really great to see – We’ve just come back from our Europe tour and it’s just great to know that we can play in such huge places in different countries...

Tom: We’ve just gotten back from Milano since we’ve played there two days in front on 12,000 people, that was for example really great. Otherwise the other guys don’t really have anything spectacular to say since women-wise nothing happens there as I’m the one that experiences the most. So we have to just sit down and I’ll tell you all about how nice it was abroad.

Markus: Speaking of which; have you noticed anything different about the women in different countries? Like how they react to you? And not you [Points towards Georg] since you don’t “score” since he [Tom] said so.

Bill: I can only say that I’m happy that a lot of them try to learn German, especially here on the carpet since we can’t speak anything else and we’re not great in English. So yeah, respect to our fans that learn German to come and try and to speak to us with it. It’s easier that way. And Tom can report the rest now...

Tom: I really have bad chances to hit on someone in English...

Bill: That’s it with Nicole tonight, huh.

Tom: The thing is, I don’t need any words in English. I don’t need to talk much.

Markus: But about Nicole Scherzinger, you said to us on the phone you’d like to score with her. Now explain how you’ll talk her up.

Tom: I’ll first have to talk it out with Bushido since we wanted to do it together. But I’ll first have to chat with him to see who starts off first. It’ll work out some way.

Markus: Optimistic?

Tom: Pants opens and just get on with it.

Bill: Yeah, I’m “really” sure.

Markus: About the performance, what song will we expect and what will we be seeing?

All: Monsoon.

Markus: English or German?

Georg: English. And we have a big surprise for all. Hopefully it works out.

Bill: It’s really, really funny. We’ve tried to keep it secret for a very long time. By the try-outs it went perfectly wrong. So yeah, I hope it works with the performance.

Markus: So good luck. And have fun at the awards.
