RIP Patricia 'Pizzazz' Albrecht. I also love Samantha's music. Even though Britta Phillips sang for Jem, Samantha is Jem/Jerrica's true voice. I asked Samantha on Facebook why the producers didn't just have her sing. She can sing beautifully. But I think maybe her voice wasn't mature enough. She hasn't answered that yet, lol. Also seeing as they chose singers first, then voice actors makes sense.
I've heard other interviews. The singing voices were cast out of New York, and the voice actors were cast out of Los Angeles. They could have cast Broadway musical actors who could handle both, but I like who they chose for this show.
God I love Karan Ashley so much. Not only was she my favorite female Power Rangers (Zack being my favorite male Power Ranger) but in real life she is a total sweetheart & full of radiance. I really enjoy all her interviews & just can’t get enough of her. Love me some Karan. She is a ball of energy & so fun to watch. I really enjoy how she interacts with her guess as she seems to always have fun.
Oh this is just wonderful to watch! Thank you! And Jeffrey you look great too my love! I have known Jeffrey since 1994. Something like that. LONG TIME! I hope to meet Jem as well one day. I've heard she is a wonderful person! But I am so glad I got to meet you. I was in my Storm cosplay but it is all good! And I got to see you at Bangor this year which was nice! I hope you had a great time as well!
No one saw the Jem movie. The trailer for it is one of the most disliked videos on RU-vid, aside from not only the Ghostbusters Reboot, but also A Christmas Story 2. Not only did fans of the show flip when they saw the trailer had virtually nothing to do with the original Source Material, but so few people saw it that it was pulled from theaters in just 2 weeks, 2 weeks.
Dennis Taylor It's a damn shame that the movie turned out as bad as it did. 🙁 Samantha liked it and so did this interviewer in this video from 3 months ago (20th April 2018). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7PSimYHXKVs.html The interviewer doesn't seem to understand how much the animated series meant to us as children, teenagers and now adults, and how badly this movie was made. We couldn't relate to it as it was meant for younger people and not for the original, now older fans, despite hearing that someone else on their Jem movie review on here, saying that Jon said that it was going to be a love letter for/to the fans. Some original, older fans may have liked it, or loved it, but not many, and new, younger fans liked it, or loved it for being its own creation with the Jem names, and with them probably wondering why it didn't do well and not knowing of the Jem brand's original backstory. There are some young people out there who are not fans of the movie and they understand how bad it is, and how it is nothing like the animated series, whether they are fans of the animated series or not. I'm just so happy that some people at least, get it like we do. 😃
Summer21 1. Everyone who saw the show back in the 80s in syndication are now circling 30 and are pissed, while the new audience it wanted to attract would rather watch actual RU-vid Stars or Hannah Montana reruns. 2. The biggest low of the movie was when the Producers told fans that they could be a part of the movie, they told everyone to make a short video of them talking about why they love Jem, but they weren't going to be part of the movie like they thought they were going to be, what the Producers did was: they took every short video from fans of the show talking about why they love Jem and then edited it to make it look like they were talking about the movie, that's just like asking people to talk about why they love Star Wars and then edit it to make it look like they're talking about The Phantom Menace, that wasn't just low, it was a slap in the face. 3. I'm at a loss for words that Samantha Newark has stated that she likes the movie. 4. I wasn't around in the 80s to see the show in syndication, as I'm a 90s kid. But I did manage to see the show on RU-vid from people who uploaded the complete series, before the Copyright Nazis found and removed every single episode. 5. The show was fantastic, it was a real show that took place in the real world and dealt with heavy issues. And an AI hologram hot chick that got her out of any situation and could alter her appearance? The Ultimate Cosplay Machine!
Dennis Taylor I like your Chickbait (formerly Creature) references in the Jem review sketch that they made and also the references from the review of The Nostalgia Critic. Hehe. 😄
Dennis Taylor Jon Chu shouldn't have made that movie. That will forever be a blemish on the Jem franchise, despite the idiots everywhere and on the Jem fan page, who like/love the movie, some of which who are petty towards the other fans who don't like it, even if the non-fans don't shout from the rooftops that they don't like it, like I haven't done.
Dennis Taylor You're absolutely right that it was a real show that took place in the real world and that it dealt with heavy issues. 😃 I'm happy to hear that other people born after the 80's like yourself are fans of Jem and who do love and care for it as well. 😊😃
Uncensored Talk with Karan Ashley Great. Hey, COME AND EMAIL ME (meteo@comcast.net), I want to see if we can go and have me submit text for someone to comically read aloud, or a Voice Clip (I can do that; - work around that anyhow, and I'll "Interact"; closest thing to Thought-Speak.) I'll keep harping on that, I need to know, it'd be another thing, even as just a scattered thingie in the Bits and Pieces Section. I look forward to it, will do Q&A Power Rangers and Sci-fi Nerdism. I'm Stoked, and Ready to Smoke.
I was so almost ready to give a thumbs down because I thought this video was going to be featuring the cast of that crappy live action Jem movie that's coming out. I'm so glad that it's not. Thumbs up!
Absolutely Jem had thousands of boy fans. I was one of them! It never felt like an overly girly show (even though it was) cos of all the action scenes etc. I was never ashamed to tell my classmates that I loved the show. Of course the girls in my class were fans but the boys also thought it was kinda cool and didnt think it was weird or inappropriate for a boy to watch it...probably because the The Misfits were such badasses
@James Roberts Yes, Patricia sadly passed away from cancer on Christmas Day last year, in 2019. 🙁 Samantha Newark who is in this video too, made an announcement about Patricia’s health on Facebook (maybe Twitter and Instagram as well) a bit earlier on in 2019 and she made a few video updates as well.
Jem-Kimber-Aja-Shana Sadly the actress, Thuy Trang, who played the Power Ranger in the yellow suit, Trini Kwan in the first series of The Power Rangers, died in a car accident on the 3rd of September 2001, in San Francisco, California, at the age of 27. So sadly, she never got to meet any fans at any conventions later on. 🙁
I know. It is such a damn shame. Sometimes I do feel sad about it. 🙁 I wish the movie was done properly and not by the producers, Jon M Chu (who directed the movie as well) Jason Blum, Scooter Braun, and scriptwriter, Ryan Landels. Jason's production company, Blumhouse Productions was also linked to that movie. I heard more recently that Jon M Chu, despite how well his recent movie adaptation of the book, Crazy Rich Asians was, and despite some scandal and tactics that he used in that movie, which he used for the Jem movie, he apparently fundraised the money himself and not from Hasbro nor from Universal. Jason Blum apologised this year about how bad the movie was, which is nice to hear, but it is too little, too late, which doesn't make a person feel any happier. These people never learn, so I give up with idiots that always ruin things and walk away from them for good. Christy Marx who co-created and co-wrote the series (posted the news on her Facebook page, Christy's Clubhouse) was happy that he had apologised. She wasn't keen on the movie as it didn't feel like Jem to her either, and I agree. She even said that this year in an interview with Michael Mercy on his nostalgia channel. All of us Jem fans would have loved the movie if it had been done right, especially with Christy Marx at the helm. It would have been shown all over the world after it would have done so well in America and Canada, and the DVDs, Blu-Rays, steaming, and downloads would have sold like crazy. 😃
Samantha Newark made an ass of herself promoting this movie which was a big pos. Why would she lie to her fans, making it out to be this wonderful thing? Because she got a part in it? Terrible
Summer21 Sorry that doesn’t work for me. Samantha Newark was being a phony in acting like this movie was gonna be some exciting fun filled masterpiece. She knew it was a piece of crap, though she’ll never admit. I have yet to see one single fan admit to actually liking this piece of crap. I would respect Samantha a lot more if she were to say hey all you Jen fans I know the movie was THAT bad. This wasn’t what I expected either. Even the writer for Jem, Christi Marx, who hasn’t exactly trashed the film has gone on record in making it very clear to jem fans that she had absolutely nothing to do with this film and was not consulted in any way which I took as a hint as don’t blame me for this gross movie. Such a shame the movie was what it was. It had the potential to be something amazing. It would have maybe even resurrected jem and may have been the first of more sequels and maybe a new animated show but when the film flipped Jem came back from the dead only to quickly die again.
Summer21 And come on. There are fans of the generation who lived Jem from the 80s that saw this garbage and actually complimented it by saying it was “ok”? The only good part was when the misfits showed up at the end. If that a hole John Chu has half a brain, they would have been an even bigger part of the movie. I think most Jem fans I’ve spoken to have said the same thing- they watched and loved the show more for the craziness of the misfits and loved their songs. That they weren’t wimps like Jem and the holograms should let everyone walk all over them . The misfits didn’t take crap from anyone and in all honesty I think were better role models than wimpy Jem and the holograms. Look at how Jerrica has no problem allowing rio to cheat on her all the time with Jem? They like to say it didn’t bother her since she was Jem but he never knew that and that was ok with her? When you think of it, jerrica was a weirdo
Ugh. Butcher the Fanboy. ...Enter in the AGSMA and amc.otakuoutpost dot com websites into the Web Archive, and just listen, fer' TWO FREAKIN MINUTES, To Fanboy... From Freakazoid.
Serious, there's Fans, and then there's Fanboys, even the Term sounds goofy, even if they're not utter Nightmare Fuel like the Juggalos and Twitards who put people in the Hospital, the Fanboy term just isn't generally associated with the good parts of a Giant Fanpool in the Allspan... Please DON'T mix up the terms... (Although even Jason does it)
