Arabella
 

 

Arabella was a daily talk show with Arabella Kiesbauer, the moderator of the comeback Show. During the combackshow some of the comeback stars were guest in her show. In the following, I make a short aggregation about the interviews with Limahl.

He was asked, if he was appreciate the pressure he adapted in the comeback show. He said that he know this before, and that he accept the challenge.
To the jury criticism he said, that at first criticism are always subjective and on second that you can never please everybody. As a musician you have to cope with it, or else you have to do another job.

In this broadcast was reported about the background of the last comeback show. Limahl was asked directly after his performance of “You to me are everything” about his opinion of his own appearance. He himself meant that it was sch… (he said it in german). He would have sang to flat because of his nerves…

In the last Arabella show before the final some of the comeback stars was asked about their feelings and their experiences during the comeback show.

Limahl answered the question, why he has took part in the comeback show joking, that he wanted to show that he is still alive. He told that there were rumours in the internet that he would have a ski accident or that he would have entered to an ominous sect.
But he did not expect such big fan communities, because he wasn’t here for so long. He would be very happy that he got a connection to germany again after 20 years.
Arabella asked him, if he got sleepless night durimg the show. He said yes, but it would be a little bit embarrassing for him, because there are so much more important thing in the world. But he got sleepless night and meant joking that he was worried about forgetting the lyrics, or of falling down on the stage or that there could falling a floodlight on his head.

SAM,
 

The associates of the german show SAM visited limahl in his hometown London.
 

 

Here is a little aggregation of what he said:

He talked about his time of the eighties. He descends from humble homes and was already dreaming of a musical carrier in his early life. He went to London, and had to recognize, that he had to earn money in the cold reality. On the job center they gave him a job in a barber shop. Due to an announcement he came to Kajaogoogoo and therefore to a Number one hit.
He was known as well for his extraordinary haircut. This spleen he has until now. Every Saturday he usually goes to his barber.
But the big carrier had already an end, and the fans got less and less. But he said, that he did not cry, he ever took his life in his own hand – he would be an over master in the art of living. He feels happy where he is in his life now.

When he was asked about his chances in the comeback show, he said, that he would say to himself that he would have not the chance to win, not because he don’t want to win (it would the biggest thing for him to win), but he is afraid, that he expected to much, and then be disappointed.

Limahl was asked how he came to the comeback show. He told, that he was invited to the show and that this was a great opportunity to come back to Germany. It was wonderful for him to get all the letters, emails and cuddly toys he got during the show. It would be a great feeling for him to be back in germany. He has worked in other countries, and had now rediscovered Germany. In the moment he would work on a new record, he would talking to a new german manager and there are offers for live-appearances. Even he is out of the comeback show he will be appearing in germany, for the old fans and for the new one as well.

Furthermore he was asked, if his fans are only the old one from the eighties or if there are new one. He answered, with the older fans, there is that wonderful nostalgia feeling, which is connected with him as a an artist. They would be remembered at the first kiss, the first holiday or at their childhood. This would be a wonderful feeling for him as an artist. He feels coaxed if a 16 year old girl asked him for an autograph, because he could be her grandpa.
