Both hail from Germany. Nena had the 1984 hit 99 Luftballoons. The dude in the middle wearing the white jacket - that's right, dude - is the lead singer for the German boy band, Tokio Hotel. And Nena is his favorite singer.
Apparently this band is a big deal. I hadn't heard of them but I listened to a few snippets of their music and they're OK. I wouldn't buy their stuff but I'm also not a prepubescent, 14-year-old girl from Duesseldorf either. The little, lead singer dude has said Nena is his favorite singer. Look at Nena - she's gonna be 48 (that pix is her today!) and has had 7 children. Look at the Tokio Hotel dudes -honestly, I bet I have more hair on my right index finger knuckle than these guys have on their collective pubic regions.
Hey - I have nothing against the androgyny look. I'm an actor and love the theater and often enjoy putting liner on my eyes and base on my face. But I swear to God when I saw the headshot of the lead on the MSN homepage today (it closely resembles the one here) I thought to myself, "Who's that hot chick-rocker?". Seriously.
