It was a great show with fantastic performances. Tokio Hotel did not only win Best Group but also delivered one of the best performances that night with their single World Behind My Wall. Even though it was quite hot because of all the fire it only made it more breathtaking. Thanks to all the Tokio Hotel fans for voting and making this a night to remember.
Hopefully we'll get a chance to experience Europe's best group live in the UK some time soon! Their UK fanbase is patiently waiting for them.
