Webmaster: Ready, get set .........
moderator1: So, it's now 15.00 and let's get straight to the first question

moderator1: BregBernd18113 asked: How do you get inspiration for your songs?
Thomas_Anders: Good question but it's not that easy. One gets new ideas each day, particularly if is about love.

moderator1: 18178 asked: How come you have a Chinese theme?
Thomas_Anders: it was an idea, that all Asian is coming. Dieter wanted compositions with Asian elements - that is also the idea for "china in her eyes". The idea for this song was just to be with Chinese

moderator1: orange17970 asked: it interests me what you both do in your spare time, if you still have any!!

moderator1: 18102 asked: Why aren't there any instrumental versions on your Maxi-CDs anymore?
Thomas_Anders: I am actually quite glad that no more instrumental versions made - I have many favourite songs, which are sung or rapped. Perhaps should one ask our record company.

moderator1: nela7718111 asked: Do you know how many fan clubs you have?

moderator1: Karl18122 asked: I'm interested in whether Mr. Bohlen and Mr. Anders will ever participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. That would be a guaranteed first place winner for Germany.
Thomas_Anders: It does not look as we would participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. Additionally, it is also very very political and why should one go behind the artists' backs?
