Post by: IrisRose on February 22, 2010, 11:40:52 PM: Of course he deserves, but I've figured out that it's all politics and trend. Whoever is selling the most records in recent days has an advantage, and whoever attends all the functions has an advantage.
Have a friend who was finally persuaded to show his bulls in a fancy bull show. He did, and took Grand Champion. Best bull in the house. But because he hadn't joined all the organizations (full of bull:)) and gone to the cocktail parties, the buyers felt he hadn't paid his dues, and would not bid on his beautiful bull. Needless to say, friend said "to hell with that noise" and never entered a bull in a show again. Sold them all at home for better prices. Same goes for everything in the public/music world . MK has said "to hell with all that stuff."

Post by: man on a track on March 02, 2010, 10:53:41 PM: Will he be there in person?
He's not featured on the lineup...
Does that show he doesn't care? ;)

Well IrisRose, you are sooo right :(
I'm not a musician nor a bull, ;D but I experienced just the same... :'(

Post by: Pottel on March 02, 2010, 11:20:23 PM: guess not.
unless he already he knows he wins?

Post by: Darling Pretty on March 03, 2010, 06:37:16 PM: I think he will not be there.
Mr Williams will perform. And he will win the price anywhere.
But a little more promotion here in Germany would not be bad.
The concerts in Hannover and Hamburg have lots of space...

Title: Re: Echo Award, Berlin 03.03
Post by: man on a track on March 04, 2010, 02:39:44 PM: I never blamed anybody for not speaking perfectly...
Same here with my attempts on other languages ;)

Post by: Love Expresso on March 04, 2010, 08:56:51 PM: Wow, they managed to play a snippet from "True Love Will Never Fade" - and suddenly it was deadly silent in the audience - all the teenies had no
clue who that old man was - and of course another British Male won, can't remember his name - a very small guy :P--

Oh Boy, now our Animal Oliver Kahn :disbelief presents the Echo to Robbie - how painful is that.... :disbelief

but a GREEEEET SHOW, no doubt... will probably see it again next year for sure.... oh yeah... :lol :lol :lol

LE

Post by: man on a track on March 04, 2010, 10:23:03 PM: What was actually geat?
Oliver Kahn or Robbie?

How was Sade?
Title: Re: Echo Award, Berlin 03.03
Post by: Love Expresso on March 04, 2010, 10:41:23 PM: Well, that GREEEET was somehow... ironic... ::) ::) Sorry if I didn't make this clear.

I don't like shows like these. Robbie was great, to be honest, nevertheless. He was funny and had exactly the right attitude to do such a crap...

Sade was lame. The song was not my case (I like the earlier albums very much), her outfit was strange and her interview was stupid - she always
answered: I don't understand what you say... So the in-ear-translator must have failed. Or she had technical problems, what might excuse her from being stupid ;D - but she still looks great!

I think Mark can live with not having this Echo Award. Probably he won

and rehearse lots of new unheard stuff...

And I'm dreaming of a white Christmas... ;D

Post by: superval99 on March 05, 2010, 08:20:37 AM: I'm sorry MK didn't win, but never really expected it to happen. I don't think he will lose too many nights sleep over it! ;)
