This technically goes into the "Van/Jake Facebook" thread but I wanted to start a new topic so no one will miss it. Cause this is kind of really bugging me. And I'd appreciate it if anyone can clarify it for me. I'll merge it into the "Van/Jake Facebook" thread later. Ummmm. Can we please discuss Van's latest facebook status for a minute:
Eva Briegel is the lead singer of a famous German band called Juli. But I don't think she ever wrote Van a song. In fact, I don't think she knows who Van even is. I think the Eva Briegel that has Van friended is fake. Faux!Eva even spelled her name wrong. She spelled it "Eve". It's bothering me cause everyone keeps saying how awesome it is that she wrote all these songs inspired by Van. Uh, the song people keep saying that she wrote for Van is called "Wenn du lachst". Um. I looked it up, that song was released back in 2004. Van was like just graduating from Carnegie Mellon then. And the fan who posted on Van's wall says Eva is "too shy" to post on his wall herself but she said she started becoming a fan of Van back when did Broadway. Um. Didn't Van make his first Broadway debut back in like November/December of 2007? I know this shouldn't bother me as much, but everyone's commenting about how awesome it is and it's looking more and more to me that she's a faux!Eva. OR. I could totally be wrong. Can anyone explain this to me? I'm so confused. Anyone? Bueller? |

a little bit more than a lot i love you for being all super secret spy girl on this mission. i'm more than happy to do some research as well, however, it seems like you did it all and it does seem more than suspect. now i'm curious as well. though, my gut instinct is to never trust anything when someone posts it for someone "because s/he is too shy" ... i tried to stop believing that after jr high. |

Haha. Well, at first I thought it was weird that a famous person from Germany wrote a song for Van about love or whatever. And then I thought it was slightly weird that Van was so touched after I read the lyrics to the song. Cause my first instinct was "uh, kind of creepy". But then I saw that the song was about friendship or whatever. So I was all, "that's cool'. But it turns out that's not the song she "wrote" for Van. It's another one translated "When You Smile..." which is, uh, even creepier to me than the other song. Haha.But Steph and I were discussing it in the wee hours of the morning. And I googled it. And the last album they released was back in 2007. And that song that she supposedly wrote for Van was released in 2004. The fan that posted about said that Eva started becoming a fan of Van back in his "Broadway" days. Van didn't do Broadway until 2007, right? It doesn't add up. "Eva" or "Eve" as she spelled it is friends with Van's fanpage facebook. She's only got a hundred friends and a couple of them are Nuke fans. Even Van himself said he might think that it's a fan impersonating her. I guess it just irks me cause all the comments are all nice, long thoughtful comments about how awesome it is she wrote that song for him. And how Van is such an inspiration (very true) but it's all a moot point if she's faux!Eva. It shouldn't bother me this much but it's sort of like when Van was bothered by bizzaro!Van that one time. Heh. |

I have to admit it's a bit weird. I have the album with the song "Wenn du lachst" and I checked fanboards for the band and couldn't find a single hint that Eva is a fan of Van. I really do hope though that Eva really at least dedicated that song to him. I would feel bad for Van if that person really was a fake. |

Pssssshhhhhh yeah IDEK. Plain and simple? I think it's all fake. But that'd be really awesome if a famous German singer had the hots for Van like we all do. If I were Van, that'd be something to write home about.

Yeah, when I was googling it I couldn't read a lick of anything cause none of it was in English except Wikipedia. So I'm glad you did! ![]() But, yeah. Weird. I don't think she even knows who Van is, honestly. I typed in Eva Briegel on facebook and I got another Eva that has her pic in it. And her facebook is super private so I got a feeling that's really her, not the other one. And I clicked on the link that other fan posted but I couldn't view it cause I'm not friends with that Eve Briegel. And I wasn't gonna friend some random person I didn't really care about so I have no idea what that clip is. But it just seems so off. The song she supposedly wrote for Van was released in 2004. Unless she went to school with Van...he wasn't even on ATWT then. |

Hhahaha. Unless that famous German singer is fake then that's just freaking creepy. Not only is she pretending to be some German superstar, she's saying all her songs are inspired by Van. She's just not a normal fan writing songs about Van and telling people about it, she's impersonating some obscure star from a different country and telling people about it. Hhahahaha. WOW. Hey, I did say Van enables the crazies. |

I guess we'll never find out if Eva really is a fan of him or not. Except if I go to one of her concerts, wait for her out front and ask her "Do you know a guy named Van Hansis?" hehe And since they are currently not giving concerts due to their work on their new album, that could take a while. ^^ Imagine how embarrassed Van would be if he found out it was fake? Poor guy. |

Yeah, we'll probably never know if Eva is really a fan. But Van did say it might be fake and that he would be embarrassed if it was, but oh well. It's just those Nuke fans who have her friended. And if she's really fake, then that's all sucky as well. Cause what if she says more stuff on her facebook and it gets posted on Van's? Oh well. Then again it might be her...but a huge part of me doesn't think so. Cause it's all so fishy. |

I mean, if she really wrote a song for Van or dedicated it to him, wouldn't she tell him herself? Instead she lets one of her FB friends do it for her. I sent a friends request to that Eve person just to see if she seems to be legit. I saw that Van has her twice in her list. Once as Eve Briegel and once as Juli Eva Smith or something. Something is definitely fishy. |

I think the original comment said she dedicated whatever song it was to him, like she said it at a performance or something, not that she wrote it for him? Or it could all be a mistranlation issue. Poor Van was having to backtrack in the comments on the status update 'cause he couldn't figure out either. Just generalized weirdness! |

Maybe one of us could be brave enough (I think Nads cause you've PM'd him a couple of times right? And since you ARE German...) to PM him and say a few of us got together and since we care about you, we are all convinced it's fake. He doesn't have to do anything. Just randomly de-friend the person and never mention it again. |

Well, we don't know for sure it's fake so I think we should stay out of it. I think he knows himself that it might be fake so maybe unless Eva herself tells him that it's really her, he'll forget about it. |

Okay, I guess since he, himself, is suspicious. I'd hate to see him post another comment about it, and it turns out to be fake. |

It is. I don't see how this thread is causing any drama whatsoever. Moey simply had a question and she came here to ask it. The discussion thus far has been drama-free and no one has stepped on any toes. It's an odd thing, this song dedication, and the situation around it seems a little fishy. Is it, in the grand scheme of things, a big deal if someone is impersonating someone else and dedicating a song to an actor? Kind of, not really. It certainly doesn't affect our lives but given that this is a place to discuss these guys, what's going on in their public lives (and their fan pages on Facebook are public lives), I don't see how this discussion could possibly be causing drama. The only person who can really get hurt by this imposter is Van, and while I don't want to see that happening, and we aren't bad-mouthing Van, this board remains drama-free. And given that this is a fairly active topic with a good discussion going on, certain people on here do give a shit. |

This was a completely drama-free discussion until your "who gives a shit?" comment. Before that, no one was being rude or attacking anyone else, which is the usual definition of "drama" on board like these. So, I have to conclude that either you're deliberately trying to stir things up, or you have a completely different definition of "drama" from the rest of us. |
