Aqua in Singapore TV - - thanks to Lina for this article - - Well, it starts by saying "PRESENTED IN AQUASCOPE". In the background you hear and see these people screaming and shouting. You hear Happy Boys And Girls and see Lene and Rene erm... prancing around? It's one of those concerts lah. They show clippings of it throughout the whole thing. Then you see the four of them in director's chairs. There's no interviewer, just them talking. That was nice. [rene] We have 4 person roles and 4 different styles but altogether, it's Aqua. [lene] We wanted it to be a bit corny. [soren] We play around with the humour and irony, that's very important. [claus] We have an idea behind the music, the idea and style. [rene] We are 4 persons and we think before we speak.[soren] I had an idea about Barbie Girl. Actually, it started with "Come on Barbie let's go party". I keep hearing him say [soren] "Party" was the only word that could rhyme with Barbie so that's why it became "Come on Barbie let's go party". [soren] The way our images are very colourful reflects our personality. It's not something we put on to be Aqua, it's what we are. [rene] The words we sing and we jump up and down, and whoa, are we drunk or are we just like that? And we are. [claus] There was this radio station some distance from Tokyo, he didn't have many artistes come visit him. And when we came, he was like overexcited and so he was like screaming and shouting and clapping away in the studio, and nothing we could do and we just lay at the table and laughing. The interpreter couldn't say a word and she was crying cause she was laughing so hard. [rene] It was like we came into the studio, and he was shouting AQUA!!! All of a sudden he asks "So, how do you define your music?" Pop music. [rene, lene and soren] POP MUSIC!!! [soren] We're sitting like that and going . We did the show for 25 minutes and I'm not kidding, we only had 4 questions. the rest of the time we're laughing for at least after the first question. We're laughing for 5 minutes completely, never ever seen something like this. The clips of that concert were interesting. You can see Rene take a glass of water, drink some and then spits it out at the audience! Yuck! Lene was dripping with sweat. Wah! Claus was at the keyboard, and Soren was playing some kind of instrument, I dunno what it's called. Some kind of percussion. Lene only spoke once. Hmmm...
