Geachte collega-denktankers,
de massa's reacties en vraagstellingen omtrent de engelachtige figuur van Gwen nopen mij ertoe u erop te wijzen dat Gwen Obertuck nog steeds in het veld der zangkunst opereert en haar carrière dus om meer om het lijf heeft dan het duet "Wir zwei allein" met David Hasselhoff in 1993, toen ze 13 jaar was (ze vertolkte trouwens nog twee dialogische Duits-Engelse songs met David, namelijk het melancholische "Please come home for Christmas" en het morantische "If I had one wish" met hoog Céline Dion-gehalte). U kan er Gwens biografie zelf op naslaan op http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwen_Obertuck, maar enkele markante, tot nadenken aanzettende weetjes wil ik u hier toch niet onthouden:
- Gwen werd in 1980 zogezegd in het Amerikaanse plaatsje "Oconomowoc" in Wisconsin geboren. Werd hier - symptomatisch voor een excessieve angelsaksische political correctness - een plaatsnaam gefantaseerd om Gwens compromitterende Austro-Germaanse afkomst te verhullen? En doet de schijnbaar achternaamloze naam van haar moeder "Pamela" geen verdere vragen rijzen?
- Net als David heeft ook Gwen ooit een kerstalbum uitgebracht, dit onder de titel: "Ich freue mich auf Weihnachten". Dat ze de wereld van de Gemütlichkeit, romantiek en vooral de fantasie als zangeres niet schuwde en schuwt, moge ook blijken uit haar intensieve coöperatie met gezelligheidsproducent Walt Disney Company. Enigszins uit de band en in het oog springend is in deze optiek wel de tophit "Ich komm' klar" - Gwen lijkt met deze promiscue song aan te sluiten bij een tendens die internationaal doorbrak met T-Spoons "Sex on the Beach", maar eerder al in ons eigen Vlaanderenland geïntroduceerd werd door Def Dames Dope met "Don't be Silly" met de befaamde didactisch verantwoorde woorden: "Hey you, don't be silly, put a condom on your willy".
- Het is trouwens aan te raden niet alleen de clip van "Ich komm' klar" maar ook andere bruisende clips, lyrics, fotogallerijen, biografische info en natuurlijk een druk gefrequenteerd gastenboek op Gwens homepage te raadplegen: http://www.gwenobertuck.de/
Zoals u zal zien, staat David ook in deze denktank centraal.
- Anders dan Sylvie De Bie (oftewel Sylver, oftewel Sylvie Melody), die er voorts een zeer gelijkaardige biografie op nahoudt, heeft onze kindster echter ook voorzorgsmaatregelen genomen met zicht op de marginalisering die elke volwaardige artiest ooit wel eens te wachten staat. Daarom roert ze zich niet alleen in de acteerwereld, alwaar ze reeds menige topprestatie nederzette, maar ook en vooral in de medische wereld.
We wensen je het allerbeste, Gwen,
en danken je zeer voor jouw unieke bijdrage aan onze virtuele ontmoetingsplaats (zie gesigneerde foto).
Tschüss,
Hoffius

hehe I don't really understand what this all says but I love Gwen, discovered her when she sang with David :) Can you maybe translate into English? Thanks :-) Take care, Jenny
I second that request, I'd like to know what you wrote there :)
Hey Jenny,
Our sincere apologies for forgetting to give you a brief summary of our message on Gwen "Ich komm' klar" Obertuck. Thanks a lot for your interest in our Belgian think tank on one of the central figures of Western civilisation, David Hasselhoff. In "The Hoff auf Deutsch" we made an in-depth analysis of the innovative (video of the) dialogic song, "Wir zwei allein", in which David appears as a messianic figure, giving comfort and consolation to the lonely and the departed. Our controversial analysis triggered numerous reactions - that's why we, i.e. the anonymous writers collective Hoffius, decided to give some more background information on the enchanting figure of Gwen and her entrancing voice.
We want to point out that Gwen's musical carreer didn't amount to "Wir zwei allein" only and that she has known other musical successes as well, e.g. two other Anglo-German songs with David and the "morantic", very Céline Dion-like "If I had one wish". We referred our mailing list members to the Wikipedia-entry on Gwen (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwen_Obertuck) and pointed out some peculiar, thought-provoking elements:
-It is told that Gwen was born in 1980 in "Oconomowoc" in Wisconsin. The question arises if - symptomatic for an excessive anglosaxon political correctness - this place name has been invented to conceal Gwen's compromising Austro-German provenance? And also the first name of her mother, Pamela, - strangely no last name is mentioned - arouses suspicion?
- That romanticism, "Gemütlichkeit" and especially fantasy play a crucial role in Gwen's oeuvre is not only proved by her numerous Christmas albums but also by her cooperation with the Walt Disney Company. From this angle, however, the hit song "Ich komm' klar" is - at first sight - rather shocking. The explicit sexual content of this title (klaarkomen, "to come") fits however in a didactic musical tradition, which begun with T-Spoon's hit song "Sex on the Beach" and was introduced in Belgium by the renowned band Def Dames Dope with the words of wisdom: "Hey you, don't be silly, put a condom on your willy".
- On Gwen's beautiful homepage not only the video of "Ich komm' klar" can be viewed, but also other interesting visual and audio material, lyrics, biographical info and of course a great guest book: http://www.gwenobertuck.de/ As you will see, David crops up time and again on her website.
- In contrast with the famous Belgian child-star Sylvie De Bie (also known as Sylver, or Sylvie Melody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KbGJcxenDc), who besides has a very similar biography, Gwen has taken precautions in view of the marginalisation that awaits every top artist: that's why she made some succesful side-steps in the world of acting and the medical world.
To conclude we thanked Gwen for her contributions to the wonderful world of music and Hoffian research.
Since you are clearly a Hasselhoff-expert, Jenny, and since we want to internationalise our research centre of Hoffian culture, we would like to invite you to contribute to our think tank; you can write and reflect on whatever topic you want. Or, if you just would like to subscribe to our mailing list, just send a message to hoffius@hotmail.com.
Many thanks again for your interest - and your patience!
May the Hoff be with you,
Hoffius
ah thanks!
Gwen was indeed born in Oconomowoc by the way - and "Ich komm klar" means something like "I'll be fine" in English :)
