Tokio Hotel was founded by vocalist Bill Kaulitz and guitarist Tom Kaulitz, who are identical twin brothers, drummer Gustav Schäfer and bass-guitarist Georg Listing. The four met in 2001 after a live show in a Magdeburg club, where Listing and Schäfer, who knew each other from music school, watched from the audience while Bill and Tom Kaulitz played on the stage. Under the name Devilish, the band soon began playing in talent shows and small concerts. After Bill Kaulitz's participation in a children's Star Search in 2003 at age thirteen (which he lost in the quarter-final), he was discovered by music producer Peter Hoffmann. Devilish changed their name to Tokio Hotel: "Tokio", the German spelling of the Japanese city Tokyo, due to a love of the city, and "Hotel" due to their constant touring and living in hotels. Soon after Sony BMG took them under contract, Hoffmann hired David Jost and Pat Benzner into the team of creators and authors, and had them give the teens instruction on songwriting and instrument playing; most of the songs of the first album were written by Hoffmann, Jost and Benzer (including the singles "Scream" and "Rescue me" which were completely written by them), only the single "Unendlichkeit" was written completely by Tokio Hotel themselves. However, shortly before release of their first album, Sony terminated their contract. In 2005,Universal Music Group took Tokio Hotel under contract and developed a marketing plan. The band has now become one of the biggest acts from Germany.

"låt den rätte komma in / Let the right one in"

Let the Right One In (Swedish: Låt den rätte komma in) is a 2008 Swedish romantic horror film directed by Tomas Alfredson. Based on the novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist (who also wrote the screenplay), the film tells the story of a bullied 12-year-old boy who develops a friendship with a vampire child in Blackeberg, a suburb of Stockholm, in the early 1980s. Alfredson, unfamiliar with the horror and vampire genres, decided to tone down many elements of the novel and focus primarily on the relationship between the two main characters. Selecting the lead actors involved a year-long process with open castings held all over Sweden. In the end, then 11-year-olds Kåre Hedebrant and Lina Leandersson were chosen for the leading roles. 


This is my favorite movie because it show us a cold and extrange world of two kids that just want stay alive in peace, when I watch the movie for first time I'd fallen for it, and then I'd read the book and I became in a fan of it, is the unique book of the writter, is very extrange, dark, disturbing and morbid, also have a high content of pedophilia, but is only fiction. I think that the book try to show the dark side of the world, the side where the life is hard, and we tray to run away drom our problems with the violence or the silence...
after reading it I was just loving it.




Oskar is a boy, his classmates make him bullying, they're so cruel with him and think that he is so good to hurt them. But in his mind, Oskar dreams and want to hurt them so badly even until kill them. He has a mine so twisted and dark that neither him know it.



Eli, she really is a boy, but on the movie don't show it (this information is on the book), is a vamp, but she saw it like a disease, really she don't wanna kill people, she wanna be a normal kid and live everyday like a normal person. Is a good person conntrary to what ir Oskar internally. She comes to love him, and start to be a real kid when is with him, because is an innocent love. she tries to get away from him to don't hurt him, but she can't and returns again to him. She just want that Oskar can understand her and what she is, so she agrees to go with him.

Presentation: Grease ♪

I think that the presentation was very very funny and a good preparation, they were very energetics and expressives also Grease's musicals is a classic and they recreated it very good.
I really liked it so much, and the voces were a little better than others. 

the group were composed by Mauricio Symmes, Alexis Gonzalez, Sebastian Vera, Paola Riveros, Maria Jose (I don't remember her last name LOL), Vanessa Contreras, they had a good costumes and they knew the lyric from the song.
they put to all the class to clap and animate them to keep singing and dancing, and this converted them in a good group.
