i´ve never heard of them before... they seem to be quite big in china. i was so surprised when i saw them on german television today biggrin.gif...

does anyone have more info on them? i´m not familar with chinese music, so i´m really sorry if i messed up some info XD

IPB Image

their debut single "Finally" was released on Sept 1st. the lyrics are in english and mandarin. you can watch their movie and listen to their songs HERE... it´s in german, but it´s easy to find the links.

update:
here´s a youtube link to their debut movie. thanks to xpho_86x =)... they didn´t place in this week´s mediacontrol charts (similar to billboard charts), but it´s too early to judge. they get a lot of attention because of their exotic looks, but captious critics say that Jade has a chance among younger audiences only and that people will get bored of them in no time. the song was supposed to reach international standards, but critics say it´s "kiddish" and way behind time... i kinda agree. i find them way to cute and stuff. but i´ve seen worse european/american groups with even worse music, who managed to enter the charts haha

oh yeah, it seems like many asian people in europe can´t identify with Jade. many think that Boa or Se7en would have done better =)

they were in "sprite my show" (chinese making the band? over 50.000 girls auditioned, but only 4 girls made it into the group. the show had 128 million viewers 0.o)... german producer axel klopprogge saw them performing in china and thought they were talented. he and harry hui (universal asia) are trying to establish them in europe and america now. axel kloprogge´s team has produced over 50 no.1 hits for singers like Britney Spears, Celine Dion and Funky Diamonds. he said that their goal is to reach international standards. he also said that china was a dreamland with great talents.


what do you guys think? will they make it in germany and after that in europe? the european music market is quite similar to the american market. so it´s damn hard for them to make it, but they have the help of an european producer. he does a good job at promoting them. they receive a good amount of airplay and they get featured on many wellknown magazines. so yeah, i seriously think they have a chance. coco lee was the only asian singer to have a hit in europe until now. however, her albums failed to enter the charts. that was because she didn´t get enough promotional support. jade gets crazy support...

i wish them good luck even though i´m not a fan of their music.

actually i think european market is different from american market. european is more diverse in accepting different kinds of music. but american market takes time to accept new kinds of music. anyways...does anyone have any video clips of them performing on youtube cause i have no idea how they sound

I don't know, they seem pretty typical so not sure if they anything new to offer...although Asians might be the next big thing in Europe so you never know...

i'm pretty disappointed that 50.000 girls auditioned and this was the end result. they arn't talentless, but nothing spectacular, none are pretty, dancing is eh, and their song is sounds like it can be released in a disney movie with and asian main character.

I agree... But most of the time the really talented singers don't spend time participating on "cheap shows" like this, I've seen wo xing wo show and it's 1000 times worse than American Idol and I thought AI was bad enough.

And talented people are usually ugly (no offense, but to me God's very fair), and no one votes for ugly people.

It's sad.
