I feel like I’m the only 16 year old who’s here during Quarantine watching a 80s show😂 Edit::February 8th 2023, I’m 18 now and I still listen to their songs loll
They had potential to make such a great movie ! I still don't understand why they didn't include one single song from the huge repertoire they had. They only showed how much they didn't care for the fans who just wanted to see and hear the songs in a live version. Maybe an other shot, someone in Hollywood ?
TV series music from Jem and the Holograms have: - Synchronized vocal harmonization (check) - Wicked bass lines (schlappin' the bass!! check) - Syncopated rhythm (check) - Crazy high lead vocal range (check) - Slow but steady beat (check) - Most stuff that quality musicians do that pretty much we don't have nowadays (check) The movie ... I don't know what happened. Have a good day
I really wish the Holograms had been animated better when they played. Shana just beats the drums left-right-left-right, Kimber plunks at the keyboards the same way, and Aja strums up and down, not playing any discernible chords. Kinda reminds me of Nirvana on "Top Of The Pops", but at least THEY were just kidding around.
I know this conversation is long gone but I just had to chime in. I agree it is old animation but Disney never had this issue in the 1940's and so-on. The animation has always been brilliant for it's time. I'm sure it was to do with budget than anything else.
Lyrics: There's music in the air News is in the making Music in the air Something big is breaking Wow, look around At the sight and sound Did we take you by surprise? Bet you can't believe your eyes Oh, whoa Well, this is only the beginning Only the beginning Now's the time when our star's on the climb Watch us try for the prize We're already on the rise, whoa Well, this is only the beginning Only the beginning Only the beginning Only the beginning Only the beginning Wow, look around at the sight and the sound Did it take you by surprise? That you can't believe your eyes Whoa Well, this is only the beginning Only the Beginning Now, now's the time when our stars don't climb Watch us try for the prize We're already on the rise Oh Well, this is only the beginning Only the Beginning Only the Beginning Only the Beginning Only the Beginning Only the Beginning
Never saw the show as a kid, but I knew I was interested since it was mentioned on Robot Chicken and the now inactive site Animated Lust (Rated PG). (They have a forum though). I finally got a chance to watch it on the HUB back in 2011, and aside from the theme song (which is SheRamazing!) Only The Beginning is what got me permanently hooked to it!! Jem, Aja, Kimber, Shaina, The Misfits, Synergy, Eric Raymond, and later The Stingers, all such amazing characters for such an amazing ride!!
There's music in the air News is in the making Music in the air Something big is breaking Wow, look around At the sight and sound Did we take you by surprise? Bet you can't believe your eyes Oh, whoa Ow Now's the time when our star's on the climb Watch us try for the prize We're already on the rise, whoa Well, this is only the beginning Only the beginning Only the beginning Only the beginning Only the beginning Only the beginning
Scooby doo, Josie and Pussy Cats and Jem and the Holograms were my jam I wish more cartoons had such amazing soundtracks and as music driven as these shows.
Great Song! Too bad they're not including any of these in the movie. I was wondering why in this version the audio is different. Here it has... "Music In The Air. News In the The Making". But in other versions it's "THERE'S Music In The Air..."?
Hasbro has always amazing songs and sounds with all their cartoon series. Transformers' Stan Bush, Jem and the Holograms and nowadays My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and Equestria Girls. Jem was a series from the 80's but some of their songs could have had hitparade potential just like The Rainbooms and Dazzlings from MLP Equestria Girls.
Well, you can always go to Fox's FREE streamer, Tubi (in US and Canada) and watch the full JaTH episodes, along with almost all of the others Marvel Productions pulled in the '80's.
Terezi Pyrope Even though the music the show had was better written and more catchy than what the movie had. The music the movie had was poorly written crap no different than the garbage spouted by Top 40 radio.
And this shit is somehow better? Seriously the majority of this is repeated lyrics with no real meaning to it. Clearly written for kids. You sure you're just not like one of those Pokemon fans who can't stand the next gen for being "different"
I might sound a bit crazy for me saying this but … … does anyone else think the Jem: and the Holograms (2015) movie was deliberately sabotaged to make more sales for the (2022) Barbie movie? Because Jem has all the ingredients to create a modern blockbuster with very little need to modify the cast or character dynamics.
