The best reward is figure sales and full house when performing live.

You sound like his manager!  As far as MK is concerned I'm sure it would be a hearty enjoyment from doing the job he loves doing.  That and his health are far more important than money.

You mean Croks ?
Nice compliment.

I don't talk especially about money, I talk about people enjoying his records and going to his concerts. I don't know artist being delighted by performing for half empty theatre or make record that nobody listen to 

And if I had choice I would opt for being Ed

They do not need any kind of award to prove their value. Let Robbie have it. He must have something to show to his grandchildren, to prove he was in the music business.    Apart from joking, he must be one of the very few (relatively) young artists, that has a steady career over the last 20 years. Even if we are not part of his audience!
And anyway, who needs awards? They don't look good in the bookcase and they gather dust much too easy.

You're probably right - although not about Robbie.   I always have said that awards are just a popularity contest.

Hi,
Mark will be in Germany and I have to attend a training course of my office :-( , so I can`t go to Berlin.
The Echo is given to the artist with the best-selling album, so I don`t belive that this is really important for Mark. It`s about the number of sales, not bad for him, but only "kingdom of gold"... I think, performing in front of an enthusiastic audience is more important for him.
sorry, this is only in German:

I don`t know how they rate the sales, but media control says that Mark is no.15 and Robbie no. 16 in 2012, Mark is the leading international male artist in this list  !

I have a lot of respect for Robbie...although I do think Do America could have been written for him. Candy is a brilliant song.
