REPORT
By Herbert
The performance today has been recorded again for a DVD, and I think it was better than the show last Thursday. Afterwards all the artists sat down in the foyer for an autograph session. The hall was completely overcrowded, but the singers were in a funny and playful mood. Erwin began drumming on the table and all the others joined him and made a hell of a noise. Then they began "la ola" like in a football stadium. They took photos of each other with their mobile phones and had a lot of fun.
