Template:FAOL It's a little bizarre to say that Modren Talking were preceived as a gay group in the United Kingdom, and I would dispute that (not that it matters, being gay myself). Whilst it is true that their early singles were played in gay clubs in the early 80s, the real reason for their lack of success in Britain, would I feel, mainly be due to the fact that Britain has a distaste for Euro Pop in general. They do not mind the 'one off' euro hit, but generally the style of Modern Talking would never have sat favourably in the UK Playlists of radio stations. Britain has always 'looked down'on the style of music that Modern Talking produced, considering it trite and without substance. Of course not all European music has had the same reception in the UK, Abba being a notable example. But then, Abba cannot possibly be compared to Modern Talking, being musically in another league to this band. But you know, I did like Modern Talking,catchy songs, although they all sounded the same!!

Neutral tone

This article reads like a fan page: "Composer Dieter Bohlen employed mood-evoking lyrics and intellectually-designed, synthesizer-based music". Putting aside the obvious and laughable hyperbole, this is unsourced original research, and this entire article should be in the tone of an encyclopedia article and not a record company press release. Also, cut down on the hyphenation, my German friends. "Intellectually-designed" is not proper English usage. Unigolyn 11:58, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other Facts

The article says "Modern Talking is the only band to Score five consecutive number one singles in Germany along with Boney M." How can they be the only band to achieve this if Boney M also did it? Mrwhizzard 20:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

Who replaced the previous picture of MT by the current one? I want to see that 80's picture again...they are an 80's group above all.

   You can see this in the "history" tab...

For user: tell the trooth

Please refrain from future non-constructive alterations to this article. Repeated alterations of similar nature will constitute vandalism to the article and will be treated as such.

I have spent many hours on this article and I'm quite familiar with a duo's history. The information that you continually keep including cannot be found within the official web site of Modern Talking/Thomas Anders. And I certainly hope you have not been drawn to this nonsense because you see Dieter Bohlen standing next to some guys [1] which could very easily be told by anybody that the image of Dieter Bohlen is simply added on. Also, it is an unpofessionally written article with grammatical errors and cannot be used as a reliable source.

If you are still going to insist on it then you're going to have to come up with other useful sources, this will not do it. In other words, your persistant reversions basing on those sources are only going to make you end up in Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents --Harout72 (talk) 01:09, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Parts

Is true here need to exist the basic info, but many important information is missing, what about the real voices of Modern Talking?. Thomas Anders and Dieter Bohlen were always who we could see in covers, posters, videos, etc, but in same way that Mini Vanilli and Boney M, Den Harrow, etc. (they had help of other singers). The real voices in chorus, the real choir were Systems In Blue (Rolf Köhler, Michael Scholz and Detlef Wiedeke), together with Birger Corleis. I know there are some interest in hide this "dark" part, for people that believe is a kind of threath to Bohlen or something like "to destroy dreams", this is just very stupid in my opinion, the truth is the truth, we have to give the right credit to all people that make this band possible, and this is not classificated or secret info, these are not rumours, these are facts, that we can't hide with a finger. The public need to read the truth, and not the so well known and manipulated story that we read by years. We do all with respect of course.

I have never seen this coming from a reliable source. I've seen this nonsense in Fan-made pages, but not anywhere reliable. Every new statement that going to be inserted has to be supported by highly reliable sources.--Harout72 (talk) 23:39, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I am making a serious investigation since years and myself I had see the proofs with my own eyes, talking with the people involved, is logic it don't appear in the normal biographies, but exist the trials, exist the documents that whoever can get if really follow this issue. I am not lying, those are just the facts. Bluesky84 (talk) 23:34, 11 August 2009 (UTC) Modern Talking biographer[reply]

I am sorry, but nothing of that kind will be allowed to be inserted unless there is a highly reliable source supporting such a thing.--Harout72 (talk) 23:55, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ok do you want a highly proof?, take the album "Let's Talk about Love" and please read the credits, I don't know who you are, and why you try to hide the real facts, what is your interest for hide this information to the public?, this is internet and we have rights, you can't change the story only because you want, what you do is a kind of crimen, let the truth to be free and respect please!!!. Give me your mail for talk in private about it if you want to continue this discussion. If this article is serious need to be objetive and not unfair like it had been until now.

Please familiarize yourself with WP:RS. It's quite clear that you are new at wikipedia. If no reliable source has so far published anything like what you are suggesting, well, perhaps, they are rumors. By the way, on the booklet of Let's Talk About Love, it reads: Many thanks to our friends: Birger Corleis, Rolf Koehler, Michael Scholz, Ralf Stemmann, Dieter Wiedeke, Arnie-Studio and all the fans of Modern Talking. Does this mean that we should also believe that some of the MT fans have produced vocals? I am not sure what you expected me to understand after I read it.--Harout72 (talk) 00:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

of course I am very new here, just some minutes ago I registered and wanted to make my contribution to this issue that I follow since many time ago, in this album is written the names of this people for the first time, why? coincidence?, is not the only, also get please the booklet of blue system albums, i don't remember in which exactly in this moment, but Bohlen wrote a public thanks to this people that worked in the choir of his productions, what rumour you talk?, what other proof are you searching?, at the end, where is the damage?, by the way I also read, that you think is a picture montage this picture of Bohlen together with SIB? LOL, this is a real picture from early 90's that I took in my hands. Please look in youtube the report akte 03 about the truth of Modern Talking.
