S.H.E covered CRUSH & LIKE A BIRD

Latest info on Jade Valerie and ETERNITY 8

S.H.E covered CRUSH & LIKE A BIRD

Postby hellozq » Wed Sep 10, 2008 2:46 am

S.H.E's 11th album "FM S.H.E" has come out for a while,the theme song of this album is called"Miss Universe"(cover of CRUSH),the song generally talks about that we are only ourselves and do not need to compare with others and we need to be ourselves.Too bad that in the video it writes that Villalon Jade & Rosan Roberto composed this song,but not the names we usually use(GEO & JADE VALERIE),I've posted some messages on S.H.E's Chinese forum,some of their fans are too rude,they never admit this song is the cover of CRUSH,some even say something bad of JADE ,which I can't tolerate,but thank GOD that ELLA (member of S.H.E) herself posted a reply on HIM official website after she read my message which originally was posted on JADE VALERIE Chinese QQ Zone,she admitted that they did make a mistake(because when the song was first aired through the radio,Selina said that it was specially produced by SWEETBOX for them),Ella promised when they promote the song,they will correct the mistake,she still thanked us for the message.(Let's keep an eye on this promise.)They don't correct the mistake,but said that LIKE A BIRD is also a SWEETBOX's song,never mentioned a word about JADE!The cover is called "Daybreak Already".
GEO also specially produced a song for them,it's also a cover,the original song is called"This Is My Life" by a Canidian singer Fefe Dobson.GEO re-produced the tune.
You could check out the video and all the evidence(in Chinese,though).Thanks for your patience and support!

Interesting! Maybe Jade can use this exposure for releases in Taiwan, like she did back with Jade, Adagio, & 13 Chapters. :)

& I wouldn't worry about the 'stolen logo.' I've seen the same style used before, like for Madonna's Confessions On A Dancefloor. So it's hardly anything unique to Jade.

Here's the music video for Miss Universe:

A few points:

  • There is a font widely available on the net which is VERY close to the Jade Valerie one (and if I had the time to sit and modify it, would be it) so I don't see why that should be a problem.
  • Don't they say that imitation is the best form of flattery??
  • Also not too worried about how they've credited it cause that's how the songs are credited in Jade's albums.
  • The whole mistake about Sweetbox....hmmm....the last album released in Taiwan.....surprise surprise Sweetbox Rare Tracks and LIVE
  • They've admitted that the mistake, so all's well that ends well :D

Oh well, I knew about their new album (which will be released in like 100 different versions again… :roll: ) but as I haven’t found time to give it a closer look yet, I didn’t knew about the covers and Geo’s participation. Thanks for bringing this up, ZQ!
As for the similar font, I wouldn’t think it’s a big deal and now that the girls want to credit Jade correctly during promotion, everything should be ok.

OMG I love the cover of CRUSH! :D
Can't wait to hear the cover of Like A Bird too, that's if we do get to hear it.

Wow!I haven't listened to their works for a long time. I only know they are going to release a new album recently, but I don't know they cover Jade's song again!
Despite this inspring news, until now they still doesn't say about the composer of its main hit "Miss Universe". I wonder if they will announce after the album release(Because the tracklist still remains secret.)Let's see whether they will keep the promise or not.
And to John, this act won't make much effort to Jade's reputation. Avex only told the fact of Jade's leaving, but didn't tell her new stage name.Besides, Bittersweet Symphony hasn't issued in Taiwan yet.

Ok. Now all the tracklist has released. There are two songs written by our Jade and GEO. The first one is our familiar one" Miss Universe", but the other one is called"It's Daybreak Now(天亮了)". Judging from its lyrics, I wonder it is just the cover version of "Like A Bird"(but sorry for the public computer on which I can't play it to check out)
However, HIM seems not to explain that those songs are just covered version. The album still writes "Invite Sweetbox to compose the song". Besides, one of the fans of S.H.E even said those songs had already been decided to be written for S.H.E,but Jade sang those songs first. Is that true????

It's possible that Geo composed them for S.H.E but I feel that they probably weren't given the amount of time between Jade's & S.H.E's releases. & Crush has been out since May 2007 so if the claim is true, it took S.H.E over a year to release Miss Universe.

Forgive the double post, but here's S.H.E's version of Like A Bird

It's decent in my opinion, & Jade's "oooh yeah"s are still in there, though slightly altered & minimized.
Is it just me or do they try to fit too many syllables at once? XD

Meh, there's something I don't like about the arrangement.....it's almost like there's an extra instrument in there that shouldn't be....still, from what I've been reading, apparently their cover versions are must less popular than their original works

i think they sound pretty good in crush, but i prefer jade's like a bird, s.h.e's version just kind of lacks the emotion that jade put in hers...
