Fans

The remixes were made as part of a competition on a Kim Wilde forum. The object was to create a remix or mashup and an accompanying video, without using too much rhythm effects.

The birthday wishes were written by fans on November 18 on the occasion of Kim Wilde's 50th birthday via the website of Kim's tour promotors (see the original news item here). The result was an attractive pdf file, which could be downloaded from the same website for a limited period (you can still download it here).

Kim’s tour promoters have come up with something very special. On their website everybody gets the chance to leave a very personal birthday greeting or congratulations on an interactive greeting wall. It starts on November 18th - just in time for Kim's big day! Please mark your calendars and go to www.semmel.de/kim-wilde.html this Thursday!

Also, check back on Wilde Life on November 18 for a few very special surprises.

The online signing session starts at 5pm Berlin time on October 26 on the Eventim website. Before the session starts, you can subscribe to get an e-mail at the start of it on this page. Simply fill in your e-mail address in the black box where it says 'Autogrammalarm: Ich möchte erinnert werden, wenn es soweit ist!'

So what does an online autograph look like? Well I guess you'll have to wait and see this Tuesday, wont you?

The idea is to create a video of fans miming to Kim's hit single 'You came', preferably in the 2006 version. Each fan creates their own video, which are then edited together by Wilde Life. It's a truly international effort!

So far, a handful of videos has been sent in for this tribute. You can still participate, as the deadline for submissions is November 1, 2010. For details on how to send in your own video, please send a message via Wilde Life's Contact page, filling in the subject 'Tribute video'.

The last poll on this website (at least for a while) had the following results:

1. Perfect girl (21%)
2. Maybe I'm crazy (13%)
3. I fly (11%)
4. Together we belong (10%)
5. You came (2006) (8%)
6. Forgive me (8%)
7. Lost without you (8%)
8. You keep me hangin' on (2006) (5%)
9. Baby obey me (4%)
10. Game over (4%)
11. Kids in America (2006) (3%)
12. Cambodia (Oakenfold remix) (2%)
13. View from a bridge (2006) (2%)
14. Four letter word (2006) (1%)

The idea took shape on Wilde Life's forum, where fans have an opportunity to discuss all things Kim-related.

The idea is to create a video of fans miming to Kim's hit single 'You came'. It was inspired by the recent 'lip dub' video created by students from Lawrence High School. In this case, each fan creates their own video, which is then edited together by Wilde Life. It's a truly international effort!
