POP GIRLS : A Philippine Pop Girl Group [LOCK THIS IF THERE'S A THREAD ALREADY]

[Jhielicious]

Philippine pop music goes through a refreshing rebirth with the emergence of the newest girl group of five teenage scene with compelling charm, striking style and total talent.

Aptly, christened Pop Girls, the group is an outcome of the collaboration of two of the most influential names in the music industry-recording magnate Boss Vic del Rosario who was responsible for creating the biggest multimedia stars of the country such as Sharon Cuneta, Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, Sarah Geronimo, among others; and topnotch dancer/choreographer Geleen Eugenio who honed the dancing skills of celebrities like Vilma Santos, Nora Aunor and brought Universal Motion Dancers to the peak of the their career.

Seeing the young as consistently plausible target, Boss Vic challenges Geleen to form a group of appealing young girls who are all exceptional in singing and dancing. Though she was set to leave for the US then, Geleen decided to forgo her initial plan to accept the project and called for an audition.

There were more than fifty hopefuls but only five passed the rigid screening. But the final decision came about when Boss Vic actually saw the chosen girls perform. He was swyaed right away with each of the girls that they were immediately awarded both management and recording contracts.

The fabulous five who make up POP GIRLS are twins Lai and Mar, both aged 16 and half Lebanese; Half Filipino, half Dutch Rose, 13 years old; Half Filipino, half Swiss Schai, 14 years old; the only pure Filipino inthe group.

Though coming from various lineages, the girls perfectly jive together to form a melodic clique that is POP GIRLS. This impression is also very much in tune with the album the girls are now working on. Boss Vic has gathered renowed international producers Christian de Walden and Marcus Davis, along with local producer Civ Fontanilla, to pitch in their expertise to create one world class debut album.

The debut album echoes the sound that is distinctly POP GIRLS- youthful, sweet, light, infections… with catchy beat that would make everyone groove and uncomplicated lyrics that would make everyone sing along. The songs mirror the colorful life of the young with themes such as puppy love, shopping, dancing, and basically having fun!

Now nearing its final stage of completion, the album is composed of 13 tracks, mostly original ones such as Crazy For You, and upbeat song by Marcus and Amber Davis and Crushy, written by Geleen Eugenio herself. Also included are covers of hits such as Urong-Sulong and Kapag Tumibok Ang Puso.

POP GIRLS indeed is the new face of music and sound of Philippine Pop Music. The teenage group is undoubtedly at par,
or even better than the rest of the Asian groups which continue to invaded the music scene today. POP GIRLS seals the country’s rightful claim to P-POP as the new nickname for Philippine Pop Music to reflect the youthful flair of the group and the music, very much in the tradition of Korea’s K-Pop and Japan’s J-POP.

And as for LAi, Mar, Rose, Schai, and Nadine, these girls now become the new wholesome and well- educated trendsetters of the youth in the country, not only in terms of song, dance, and music but in personality and lifestyle as well.

Okay, so, I think this is a bad idea. If we are gonna make a "girl group" why not make an ORGINAL one? Hindi yung okay, "PHILIPPINE POP GIRL GROUP" pero KPOP inspired?

OPINIONS GUYS

[sanne]

i' ve seen their music video, and i hated it. it was obvious that they were trying to imitate K-pop girl groups.

[Anyeonghaseyo^^~]

wow. i don't like them, my classmate sang their song inside the classroom just this morning and made me feel bad about it. Omo, Filipinos DO really don't have originality. Jhielicious is right, it's K-Pop inspired, and, in my opinion, this kind of "P-Pop" Might not boom like the American and Korean music. Those two foreign types of songs knows what to do, and, P-Pop might not have enough budget?? That's Just my opinion, by the way. So there.

[blueangel623]

I hate their music video!! It's so trying hard!! It's concept is copying the groups in KPOP. If they were to copy something, they should do a great job at it.

I mean, they SUCK!!!

[kyuwan]

Honestly, akala ko nung una american ang kumakanta. Okay lang sila para saken. Ayoko lang yung hinaluan pa ng tagalog. Tagalog sana kung tagalog, english kung english. Catchy.

But uh, kpop inspired, oo. Pero sa palagay ko dahil lang din sa atin yan. Daming reklamo na puro remake chuchuchu, mas maganda ang kpop dahil sa ganito-ganyan. Ayan, binigyan tuloy ng kpop inspired na girl group. Di naman yung members ang may gusto, yung company na yan, syempre kung anong gusto ng mga tao yun ang ibibigay... sana di na lang naghanap in the first place ng mala kpop na girl group dito para hindi nagaya at hindi nadismaya di ba? Saka meron na akong nakikita dati pa na parang ganyan din ang "concept" (super tagal na) so siguro hindi din naman ginagaya ang kpop...

So ewan... ayan lang naman ang opinyon ko.

[marshmallowburr]

parang gnaya lang ung i don't care ng 2ne1 . hehe. tingnan nyo, compare http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MgAxMO1KD0

[blueangel623]

Pop Girls.

Haha!! Yup, Jologs talaga sila.

[aysti]

Yes, teh MV sucks, oh, and their clothes too. But just try listening to their voices, they actually can sing! They just have to draw away from being k-pop copy cats much and I think they're good. '

Lol, I was thinking, may lalabas din kayang group composed naman of boys? Sana, kung meron, better sila.

[Jhielicious]

Yes, I agree to everyone.

IT IS SO KPOP-INSPIRED. And I hated it. >:]

Lack of originality, period.

[dollsize]

Not a fan of K-pop but I strongly agree: a total ripoff.

[Ayra.]

Ah okay.
Hindi ako fan ng K-Pop, but this? Lacks originality.

Actually, I don't want to sound so rude about this. I mean, whoa, my classmate told me last time that there's a new group named Pop Girls - from our country, of course. Well, they can sing, can dance a bit. But, oh, really, it's KPOP INSPIRED. I can't blame them though. Kpop is a huge success right now. I just can't imagine why we, Filipinos, try to imitate other countries' gigs so much.

First one, their clothes. See how they dress? KPOP LIKE. Two, their song, how they mix english with tagalog. Of course, it's like the song 'NOBODY'. Three, their MV. I'm aware you guys watch too much kpop mv's and admit it or not, they have similarities. It's just that kpop mv's are cooler. Lastly, THE SINGERS DON'T LOOK LIKE FILIPINOS AT ALL.

Oh, I don't know. We want a Filipino group that can sing and dance. And a Filipino group that can represent our country, not Korea's. I'll just wish them good luck.

Yes, the members are NOT purely Filipino. Lahat ata sila may halo na ibang blood. Why call them a P-POP group when they are not all PINOYS in the first place? Kung halos lahat sa kanila ay half-half.
