Flashback: Tokio Hotel’s Bill Kaulitz on Star Search Germany
billatmic

Oh, we have something for you that is priceless, for so many reasons: a clip of Bill Kaulitz, the dreamboat(?) lead singer for German import Tokio Hotel, performing on Star Search Germany at age 13. Yes, it’s true!

The future emo-pop star, looking every bit like a tiny elfin creature out of “Lord of the Rings,” flails his rail-thin arms around like a true diva. And what is he singing? “It’s Raining Men.” Can you get more lost-in-translation than that?? Honestly, there’s a lot to process in a clip that’s under two minutes.

After the jump, you can check out the video of a pint-sized Bill (well, he’s not that much bigger now) belting out the fabulous disco hit. About scoring men.

  1. Moe: How many people want Homer banned from this place for life?

    Homer: Aw, come on, everybody. This bar is like a tavern to me.

    Moe: Sorry, Homer, you should have thought of that before you gave me the old sugar-me-do. I'm taking your caricature down from Mount Lushmore and I'm taking your favorite song out of the juke box.

    Homer: "It's Raining Men"?

    Moe: Not no more it ain't.
  2. Awww!!! lol I've seen this video before many times but thats ok. Bill is so adorable in this!!

    and hey it's not like he chose to sing this song. lol but he did a very good job with it!! His voice sounded good.

    I love little kid Bill he's such a cutie and I love his smile :)
  3. Bill is very cute in this! And MTV do not be so silly! It's not like Bill picked to sing this song.

    But anyway he did a very good job in that^
    :)
  4. I always said that the woman on Star search who was responsible for picking the songs for the
    contestants should be fired for the song she picked for Bill who obviously had no clue what the song meant since he didn't speak english at the time and had to learnt it phonetically.the annoying thing is that so many people is under the impression that Bill himself picked the song.
  5. That vid always cracks me up. Bill is just amazing. Mtv you need to dig even earlier though for more fun posts. Not giving you anymore hints :)

    Btw, you do know people do not pick their own songs on that show?
  6. bill did not chose this song!! and the people at star search should be fired for making a young 13 year old boy who obviously did not know what the song was about sing it on television. Bill is not gay!!!!! Bill Kaulitz Fur Immer!!
  7. This was not the song that Bill chose, other people picked it for him. I think that you are implying a lot of things about Bill here, none of which are true. Bill IS NOT GAY, I REPEAT NOT GAY, ya hear me!!!!
  8. Aww, MTV, you already love Bill so much you're googling him like mad. I love it! I love him too!
  9. Bill did not pick this song, there are other people eho picked it for him on Star Search. I think that you are implying a lot of things about
    Bill here, none ohf whiich are true! Bill is NOT gay, and that is that...ok!!
  10. awww bill looks so cute..and who cares if he sang its raining men...hes not gay and he didnt choose it..it doesnt matter anyway he did an amazing job!!
  11. Woohooo!! Oh yeah that is his dark pat. Be very afraid!!)))
  12. Oh come on! Do you really think a 13 year old boy, who can barely speak proper English now, knew what that song meant back then? Not to mention he didn't even chose that song to sing! Star Search did.
  13. *groan* I was just waiting for MTV to dig this up. Ah well. He was adorable, wasn't he?

  27. He is so cute, but I dont see the point in bringing this video up - he was young and he didnt even pick the song, someone else choose it for him.
    I think he did a great job, going out there and perfroming the song, despite all the riddicule people must have put him trough!
  28. Awwwwwwwwwww little Bill was so cute, little pixie, elf, Peter Pan thing was magic even then lol!

    Y'all need to lay off MTV they obviously love Bill as much as we do and we get that he didn't pick the song or know what he was singing about.

    I hope this bringing the videos is a regular thing.

    This is one ov my faves :D

  29. Awww..he was so cute.
    Poor thing though, making him sing that song!!
  30. I was just wishing that MTV would dig this up.

    To the fangirls, CHILL! They are not saying Bill is gay. They are not even trashing on him. They called it "priceless" and attributed it to being "lost in translation".

    This video is part of the reason for my love of Bill. I love that he's always been an adorable little weirdo. This is just proof that all the people saying that Bill is just creating an image are WRONG. He didn't create this eccentric image to gain popularity. He created this eccentric image because Bill is eccentric! That's exactly why I love him. I mean, just look at what he wore back in the Devilish days. Striped red socks and a red pleated skirt, anyone? How about those glorious orange and green pants?

    Little Pixie Bill is probably one of the cutest things on the planet and I am so happy that MTV posted this.
  31. This is why we love Bill, because he does whatever the f*** he wants and really, truly doesn't care what anything thinks.
  32. I love this video because it shows that Bill has always been a passionate performer, but the song choice I think was unnecessarily chosen by someone for him and he probably didn't even know what it was about.
  33. Aww Bill is just the cutest thing you will ever see and still is.

    By the whole priceless thing i feel like people are trying to bring him down.
    Shows how much time people have on their hands get a life.
    MTV is a load of crap you were nice to the guys kissing there cute butts and now your trying to get a laugh out of them like making fun of them.Plus you guys are abit late real fans of Tokio Hotel already have seen this clip before if your a true fan of them.

    So laugh is on you.
  34. aw see he's always been the way he is :D chibi star search Bill is the cutest!
  35. MTV, there`s nothing you can do, that make us love BILL less, HE IS UNIQUE AND WE ADORE HIM!

    He was, is and will be ONE OF A KIND

    TOKIO HOTEL FOREVER!
  36. Of course he was just as cute back then. :)
    You guys should check out the other band members when they were little.
    Mini-Tom's dreads were the best XD
    And little Gustav's cape was cute too

    More Tokio Hotel I say!
  37. omggg.
    Bill prob dreads this lmao.
    hes sooo cute.
    i actually thought he was 10 before i read this.
    hes so skinny.
    but soo CUTE.

    hes still skinny (=


    erm...do you think he understands everything hes singing ? coz at this age, they only learned english in school. i dunno, lmao.

    ich liebe dich (L) BILL
  38. omg. hes soo cute.
    i love him like this.
  39. Now, I'm a rabid TokioHotel fan from all the way back to 'Durch den Monsun' days but everytime I see this...

    LOL!! LMAO!!!

    He totally rocked this! And MTV lay-off. I knew you guys would dig this up and start making jokes and stuff because TH is big here now and just for starters, he didn't pick the song but who cares. He's hotter now!
  40. MTV you got to love Tokio Hotel fans!!!! You got to admit these people know this band inside and out. No matter what you dig up on these boys or what your intention is, they will always have a loyal fanbase.
  41. wheather bill picked up the song or not..it's fantastic..yea really i love this.He got the style to attact the male fans more than anyfemale celebrity....he is going to rock is he wll be like dat...my god .can't belive a guy as hott as this..is he girl?
  42. Sure, the song is "It's Raining Men." But, really. For someone who had no control over song choice and got a truly awful assignment, Bill really gave it 200%. Just look at him flailing those limbs about and belting out the lyrics. It is *so* not surprising that he became such a rockstar.

    And I have to agree with Sarah on this one. Oh, MTV! You know you LOVE Tokio Hotel. Or will you only admit to LIKE liking them? Either way it's sweet. I can't wait to see what your Google-stalking (or is it YouTube-stalking) comes up with next!

    xoxo,
    Charlotte
  43. Bill didn't have a choice on the song he had to sing that night, and I agree with Charlotte - he certainly gave it all 200%! He's a brilliant singer with an amazing personality and some pretty rocking hairstyles.

    Admit it, MTV - you love Tokio Hotel just as much as we do. ;) Keep the Tokio Hotel news coming! :D
  44. Yes, it is amusing when 13 year old effeminate boys sing songs about raining men. But it is also adorable. (And in his high-pitched range.)

    The article says he hasn't gotten much bigger. He's 6'2" without the hair (which is amazing), and that's pretty darn tall.
  45. aww TH is love
  46. So he probably didn't choose the song, but what if he did? (He must have understood the lyrics, I mean, check out Devilish - it's crappy English but English nonetheless.) Would it really be so bad?

    I mean, IMO that would be funny as hell and show he had a sense of humor. It wouldn't mean he was necessarily gay and who cares if he was.
  47. p.s. Chill guys, MTV isn't making fun of him. I think they know enough by now not to piss off the fans. Don't take it so seriously o_o
  48. ive seen this vid on youtube once sumwhere else, bill is so cute on it! :D
  49. I love this vid! He didn't choose this song, but he rocked it!
    I wish it was raining men. Raining men like BILL KAULITZ! ahh....i wish it was raining Bill Kaulitzes and Tom Kaulitzes and Gustav Schafers and Georg Listings...eekk XD
  50. Yeah Bill is beautiful! All ages, all styles! Even this genuinely goofy song can't diminish his kickass vibe. Anyway what are we doing, digging up his thirteen-year old stuff? Can you imagine what a clueless nerd the writer of this article probably was at 13? Writing MTV news now, so back then he or she was probably huddled in a corner somewhere with a pizza face and braces, listening to a walkman or something. At 18? They were probably much cooler. Bill is lucky to have been radiantly beautiful and talented from the second he was born - this sort of footage just reinforces that!
