The German "American Idol"

[Mrs Frey]

Oh, I'm happy for you that Thomas won, EF! And happy that such a lovely person such as Thomas has been so successful. May he have continued success.

What does he actually win EF? Is it a recording contract or something?

[EasyFeeling]

Yes GA, he won a recording contract and I think some money. I've read he will make a lot of money, estimated earnings a half million Euros. I think he need to get used to it first because he was out of work he had to manage with very little money.

His single comes out on Friday and he's on #1 on the list for pre-orders. He's totally busy this week, radio interviews, foto shootings, making the video, TV appearances... I really don't know how to follow all his activities. But I don't want miss anything.

I'm still on cloud 9 and I'm sooooo happy for him. As his ex-girlfriend told us he will thank us for our support with a fan meeting sometime this year.

Today the percentage of all shows were released... you can see he won every single show!

1. Show 52,75 %
2. Show 39,88 %
3. Show 52,10 %

Wow, EF, that's very impressive.

Way to go Thomas!

I'm so happy for you, too, EF!

It sounds like his career is off to running start! Good luck to him!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I am haopy that Thomas won as well, EF. He is very talented, so hopefully, he will go as far as he wants. I can only imagine the excitement of being there to witness this. It must have been awesome. We've missed you here, and maybe you can visit us more often once things get back to "normal" for you. Keith and Glenn miss you too!

[EasyFeeling]

Brooke and Dreamer, I feel so guilty. Talking about being "normal", nothing is normal in the moment. There are so many things going on because Thomas is going to start a new life with his music and I don't want to miss anything. I thought things are getting quieter now but no, not yet. Now we are planning to go to a talk show in Hamburg next Monday to see him. I know I'm crazy... going to shows like this. But I can't resist... as well as the other girls in our forum. Talking about fandom, I guess you know exactly how I feel.
But don't worry I will come back. How can I forget my friends here not to speak of Glenn and the Eagles and Keith, no way. It's just the lack of time I have.

[sodascouts]

Wow! It seems this guy is destined for a very bright future!

[glenneaglesfan]

EF, that is fantastic news!

Congratulations Thomas!!!

I watched his performance of Chasing Cars, and I think he made it sound better than Snow Patrol. (Is that what the first judge was saying?) His new single is lovely and deserves to be number 1, especially with all the excitement and the fans that he has made. I don't blame you for going to a live talk if you can. I'd do the same for my man if only I had the chance!

[Glennsallnighter]

Well you enjoy all your activities around Thomas EF. As such loyal fans you deserve to revel in his success. You have been there for him from the start and have helped him to get to where he is s now, and I'm sure he appreciates that so much.
