The Holograms Vs. The Misfits: There's A Melody Better (Duet Never Heard Before) [HQ]

[@chica8677]

This was cool, I like both groups music wise. Jem would sing about sweet things and life lessons while the Misfits would sing about getting their way.

[@lavendertheflower4352]

You have to admit, this was pretty epic. I prefer Jem and The Holograms, but The Misfits are badass.

[@cleejackson7875]

Darn right, that was epic! This battle is extraordinary!

[@SeanCwilich]

I like how both songs sound good together like that. :)

[@drizzo4669]

Well, what happened was: Jem and The Holograms had laid down a track and added vocals to it, finished up the demo and were gonna send it out the next day to a producer. the Misfits stole the demo tape, re-recorded the vocals and submitted it as their own. So really it IS the same song. Jem recorded a better song after and let the Misfits keep that one.

[@SeanCwilich]

D Rizzo I know, I've seen that episode a long time ago. ;)

[@justinquaylepate1358]

The Misfits are better no question especially Stormer

[@cosmicroyal77]

When she hit the floor at the end I said to myself, 'Damn, they really put their all into their performances. Go head Jem!

[@syxepop]

This video clip ended with the now infamous "pole-dancing" routine that became a "wink" to the adult audience in hand (just like many Warner Brothers' Looney Tunes classic cartoons through the years).

[@clariceking4067]

I cant choose either. Love love love both versions/groups.

[@hermioneenchanted6564]

i dont hate jem and the holograms version even if it was originally there song but the misfits are just awesomer in my opinion

[@savannahhague4989]

I personally think the misfits version is kinda toxic. Jem's version has a nice message and it's more encouraging.

[@Anukii]

WOW, this was seriously well done! Very nice mashup! Especially at the end starting at "There's a MELODY BETTER"

[@D12Tworld]

I was having issues deciding which version to put on my MP3 player, then I found this. Thank you

[@JVFNAF]

The Misfits are better indeed.

[@ChaoticButterfly]

I always loved the songs in general. The Misfits were "fun" cause they would do whatever they wanted and opinions be damned. The Stingers were great cause they truly didn't care, Riot wasn't compensating for lack of attention from daddy (Pizzaz). I loved the good girls because they embodied traits I admired.

[@EduMeza83]

Qué bueno que te haya gustado! y gracias por promocionarlo. Visité tu fotolog, está buenísimo, es el más completo de todos, no sólo hay fotos, sino sinopsis de episodios y links para ver videos! así que otra vez te doy gracias por valorar mi trabajo... Ojalá consiga más material para subir episodios en español.

[@danielanibalcappuccio1869]

un ejemplo perfecto del contraste entre la musica que hace jem y la de las misfits, y todo en un mismo tema!! excelente

[@savannahhamby2106]

There needs to be more duets with the misfits and jem!

[@golden.fire.princess9653]

Savannah Hamby ikr! I wish

[@Zimmermann611]

I love this video. I always preferred There Ain't Nobody Better to There's A Melody Playing. The Misfits lyrics suits the music better in my opinion. I think the music is to "rock" for Jem & The Holograms but fit's perfect for the Misfits.

[@ladyxyannis]

Love the mixture! I was part of a group role playing Jem and the holograms who actually sang to "There's a Melody Playing" (had a friend actually re do it on synth so they could sing to it without the original singing sound track). We also did a full concert at an anime convention back in 2004... we had the holograms, the misfits AND the stingers, and I was synergy

[@YamiMaliksgal]

SUPER AWESOME! I've always thought it would be so cool to mix them like this!

[@cleejackson7875]

Now that's a mighty cartoon battle. It is worth hearing at all, baby!

[@mrmoore1970]

Awesome! Although these songs were played separately when this episode aired, this "remix" kicks ass! Both groups were awesome. Great job!

[@HeavenlyLee]

2:10-2:15 Pole-dancing Jem! Accessories sold separately...

[@omanriqu]

Great mix...

[@Valdir1981]

Hola!!! Adorei o video, muito bom!!! É otimo poder ver Jem no u-tube! Gracias!

[@Sakuwoman02]

Muy buena combinación saludos.

[@AngelaKScott]

Love this song- have it on tape still! :)

[@poissondejupiter]

Oooh how I dreamt of that mix! And now that someone did it, I can die happy! ^^

[@FRANKYCG]

OUTSTANDING!!! Quize decir....OUTRAGEOUS!!!!

[@HayaJi]

Si! Bellissimo mix! Complimenti!!

[@luckdragon88]

lol omg, that was actually pretty cool! Very well edited, and smooth transitions. Nice job!

[@LithiumSax]

This is some AWESOME editing!

[@ExpiredGumDrop]

I really liked this one! what was up with the pole-dancer-y microphone slide that Jem did?

[@nastycanadian1975]

Dude this was AWESOME xD Nice mix but we KNOW the Misfits are the better band right?

[@Chargal4]

Nice job. Flawless mix!

[@28mary06]

the Misfits are better!!!! :)

[@chaoskiss]

Wow... is right good job. I love it

[@fmfanatic4448]

I loved how you combined the 2 songs! I also like the bilingual captions -- someday I'm going to learn Spanish.... :-)

[@ricovelas]

This best version IMO... the holograms and misfits combined.

[@HayaJi]

Oh my god what a wonderful remix! so so so so gooooooooooooooood Thank you for the work you put into it - these were my favourite songs for both bands and your remix is just wonderful. Do you have an mp3 please?

[@ashez2ashes]

Wow, this was really well done.

[@faith54721]

I love The holograms better!!! They are WINNERS!!🎉❤❤

[@mikikaoru6836]

Meravigliosa!!!!!!

[@SeanCwilich]

Nice work putting those 2 songs together! :) (clap clap)

[@ronnopotter]

espléndido!!! quemas puedo decir...WOW te promocioné el video en mi fotolog de Jem es glitter_n_gold si querés visitarlo Saludos Ronno

[@YTLOVER02]

AWESOME

[@alnusypinus]

Wow, nunca me fijé que Jem tuviera nociones de tubo tubo tubo!. Esplendido.

[@kawaiisis86]

hey man that was amazing!

[@Nothin2seehere-e4z]

Jem is good, the Misfits are better.

[@SeanCwilich]

You should play the actual videos beside each other & see how it turns out. On one hand you wouldn't hear either song if both of them is playing at the same time. I did that once. You should try it & see how it goes. :)

[@strangeromance1]

Awsome job with this! So good I think you could probably sell it to Hasbro-Rhino-Sony-or whoever the heck owns the rights now-if you wanted to;) or you could just keep posting for the free enjoyment of the common folk like myself, yes:)

[@kagomecc461]

I was doing this or tried to do stuff like this back in late 80's. Music box with built in mic..creating mix cassette tapes and vhs tapes. Recordings from live Tv precorded tv shows (like Jem) along with copy-ing off other cassette tapes and Yes Vinyl records.

[@Elentari77]

Veramente bello :)

[@buibarmarius]

I LOVE this song

[@tatyvelas]

great

[@ryuumajin]

Pizzas really screams to Jem that the melody Jem's hearing is Pizzas because goddamn nobody's better than her to sing the melody to Jem.

[@strangeromance1]

Exactly-more originality, more rocker chick qaulity and they were the perfect adversaries for Jem. They didn't care what people thought-they just did it 'their' way. I appreciate that so much more.

[@Neferet05]

Hola! una consulta, esta canción es un compilado hecho por fans? o es original de la serie? jamas la escuché en la serie, pero desconozco si salió en algun casete de la época.

[@syxepop]

Esta te la puedo contestar yo mismo... Si recuerdas "En Busca Del Album Perdido" Jem ya había grabado en unas "pistas maestras" su versión de esta canción y Zipper (por encargo de Eric Raymond) se roba de el estudio de grabación la cinta ya grabada para dejar una cinta "en blanco" y unas claves para que "Las Chicas" se desesperen "buscando a ciegas" la cinta perdida. Mientras, en otro estudio de grabación en Los Angeles Eric y "Las Misfits" graban "su" (para efectos de la trama, la versión de "Mary Stormer", quién es la que "compone" TODAS las canciones del grupo) versión de la canción ya grabada por "Las Hologramas". Ambos videos fueron exhibidos en el episodio por separado y Eduardo y David se encargaron (por los los medios menos sofisticados con que contaban en 2008) de unirlas en una sola versión, ya que es la misma canción con diferentes letras... A esta altura se podría necesitar la ayuda de "El Factor Mitigante" allá "en los Estados" para lograr una versión de video nítido a los estándares del 2015...). Por supuesto, después de todo esto "no contaban con la astucia" de "Doña Jacqui (Synergy)", quién "ató todos los cabos" y determinó dónde se podía encontrar la "cinta maestra", la que "Las Hologramas" procedieron a recuperar para sustituirla por una cinta de "lecciones de Francés", con la que avergonzaron a los pobres Eric y "Pizzazz" cuando trataron de presentarla como su "estreno y creación" (algo a lo que "Doña Jacqui" podría habérsele citado como que "no me averguenzo de defender a "las mías" las veces que fueran necesario"). Perdonen el "spoiler" (después de casi 30 años no debiera ya de considerarselo), pero el resumen de la trama del Episodio era necesario para explicar la razón de este particular "video clip"... (if you, English-speaking viewers, want a good translation of what I've just typed, just ask... although, you've may figured out by now what I've just stated in Spanish to answer the query)

[@Neferet05]

syxepop Ya se como es el episodio jajajaaajaja conozco las canciones por separado. Pregunté si era compilado de fans o si en algun momento salió en algun cassete o algun medio oficial porque haciendo con unos amigos un live action y estamos usando esta canción. Queremos saber dar los créditos correspondientes al autor de este mix.

[@syxepop]

En la Serie NUNCA hubo un "mixeo" o "alargado" oficial de NINGUNA de las 189 (incluyendo AMBAS versiones de la canción-tema") variantes (en Inglés y Portugués, sólo 44 hasta ahora en Español, incluyendo la 1ra canción-tema) de canciones existentes. De eso se han encargado a través de los años los variados fanáticos (en este caso nuestros amigos hispanoparlantes David y Eduardo) de diferentes países que hacen ese trabajo sin remuneración alguna para subirlo a YT y entretenernos.

[@Neferet05]

syxepop Si, se que en la serie no salió ningun mixeo ni nada de eso, por eso pregunté si tal vez estaba contemplado en algun otro medio oficial que no fuera la serie. Asi se llaman los autores? bien, estoy a un paso más cerca de contactarlos jajajaja mi interés es contactarlos a ellos para contarles el proyecto de forma privada. La pista la encontré en The Jem Player, necesito saber si estos chicos pertenecen a su staff así damos el crédito correspondiente. Gracias, saludos

[@syxepop]

OK, si te refieres a si Eduardo y David (los que llevan la pagina TJP) estuvieron envueltos en algo con la Serie en los '80s, no. Ambos eran muy chicos en aquella época y se encuentran muy lejos de dónde se hicieron las labores de voz y traducción (Los Angeles, CA, USA y Ciudad de México, DF, MX). Pero si hay varios de los participantes de la Serie que tienen cuentas de YT, como Adolfo Cantú (Pro & Post en CdM), quién dirigió el equipo de traducción al Español de las canciones en los primeros 26 episodios y Fabiola Stevenson, la voz oficial de Jerrica Benton en Español Hispanoamericano en la Serie. También (aunque no sabe Español que yo sepa) la colega de Fabiola (la voz oficial original de Jerrica en Inglés), Samantha Newark, también tiene su propia cuenta y cuenta sus andanzas en ella (incluyendo la versión que hizo con ayuda en YT de un comercial televisivo en USA reemplazando la voz de otra artista que había hecho de la voz de Jem en un anuncio de los autos Honda, la que le quedó mil veces mejor al ser la voz legítima en lugar de la que se usó en el anuncio). Como verás poco a poco gente envuelta con la Serie reaparece a través del esfuerzo de los fanáticos...

[@flaviaakane]

Se quedó perfecto! Soy de Brasil e las musicas eran en portugues. Saludos!

[@skinflutey]

All it needs is a killer riff

[@StrangerUK01]

Nicely done, I always wondered what that might sound like. The Misfits win IMHO! :)

[@syxepop]

Not in the English version (Britta Phillips was already 21 y/o when she started working on the Series), but in the Brazillian Portuguese (all 65 eps dubbed, songs and voice included, but sadly not nearly all are available to watch in the '10s...) edition Sarah Régina was 10 y/o (and singing in her own show where they showed the Series) when she did the dubbed songs for the SBT network (search for the Brazillian JatH stuff on YT).

[@pinkpugilist]

@epiccandy14 Actually, there's a couple different songs in the series where both groups are singing.

[@YellowTexasRose90]

You Go Jem ! with your bad self! .... I love the dancing end : D

[@MrKruchinski]

I was about to post my comment when I read the others and realize mine would be redundant. I've decided to post it anyway:'it's amazing that nowadays people will tend to like the Misfits best. Unbelievable!' And what do you know? Most comments are like that. I grant that Jem was over-the-top sweet and too much of a goodie goddie girl. But the show was about to depict good and evil in very bright recognizable colors. Isn't it funny that people choose evil over good now? Jealousy, selfishness etc

[@jcatspawn]

i agree completely

[@cryler29]

estos si que eran dubujos entretenidos

[@tnwar330]

wow, that was off the chain!

[@TenshiAsakura]

This is freaking win!

[@croseman100]

Luvvv itttttt

[@Jaguar113]

what episod ewas this song on

[@Neowitch]

While Jem do make good music I can't think of any song that particularly stands out for me. Whereas I can think of at least 2 Misfits songs that give me the "Yes! This is IT!" kind of feeling. Style- and music-wise I'm with the Stingers, though.

[@ChaoticButterfly]

As far as their songs...the Misfits tried too hard to be bad, and Pizzaz's ego (how the songs tended to revolve around her) waas a bit much. This song's a perfect example. I guess no one really likes a goodie-two-shoes, cause it's hard to be good, and that's more often than not what Jem's songs are, love and peace! But I liked them.

[@notsosuperhero]

I love Pizzazz's voice. "than the girl you're talkin' toooo-OOO!" Jem still has a beautiful voice though.

[@CosmeticaDoll1]

Agreed!

[@TheJemPlayer]

Hi! The last episode of JEM was the number 65, "A Father Should Be..."

[@PlayTheGameWithBacon]

Wow. Pizazz was shaking her butt for the studio guy and Jem pole-danced the microphone stand. You sure don't see /that/ on cartoons nowadays. Gotta love the 80s XD

[@822perico]

I remember of this cartoon and l saw in zaz

[@CandyGirlnRoses]

Amen. I love both groups equally. Jem has her douchy moments too... She's totally playing Rio so that's a little confusing for everyone involved.

[@SJYNYC]

90% of the time the Misfits are much better, however in this one, I give it Jem (yes, I'm surprised by this, too). Though the Misfits songs have always been more inspirational. Jem softens you up (and being too soft can lead to a downfall), the Misfits TOUGHEN you up, make you want to stand up for yourself.

[@raccabracca]

The Misfits get my vote.

[@tahitiantreats]

Fine, two votes for the Misfits. But I'd take synergy over swagger any day of the week! Consider this another vote for the Holograms!!

[@tahitiantreats]

Whoa is that an 8-track at 0:59?

[@GQBlue3]

I love Rio's purple hair LOL good times

[@mommak10]

lol @ 1:37, Pizzaz almost killed the poor guy! :)

[@zoidburg111]

iv heard this b4....on the show

[@BoomchuckProductions]

Style-wise, personality-wise and musically, they are in completely different categories... I think they're both great what they do! But, because they are on complete opposite ends of the spectrum, most feelings are going to be biased towards which style they like... Anyways, why are we analyzing the cartoon instead of enjoying it?! (oh yes, because we are all nerds :P)

[@Lu_Ciel.]

This is better than Glee

[@19311978]

yeah, but they were never meshed together like this version. It rocks!

[@KLuigee]

Werk that tube Jem!

[@manictigger1031]

The misfits talked about life and handled their business. Their music was real!

[@cyanidemaiden]

Wait, the chick who did the singing voice of Jem was 10 and she sounded like this??? =o

[@leahowlett5525]

They should do a remake of this show.

[@JenXOfficialEDM]

I would love to see them as the ages they would be now, mashing up 80s aesthetic and today's.

[@mmegamisaikouu]

No please

[@Forgotten_Lore]

Like most most love songs, now and back then and pretty much for all of time, love songs have to have a point where some guy or girl is crushing on the opposite sex and that is Jem, yes it is about her mostly but still, it isn't like all other love songs don't do that. And besides that, not all of Jem's songs are based on love.

[@mightabeenking]

jem was a great singer, but the misfits had swagger. lol but with this duet u don't have to decide between them. best of both.

[@bobbiethecookie]

haha jem was pole dancing lmao

[@jennyjenjen80]

i do like the misfits but i prefer Jem. I still love this as much as i did in the 80's

[@cosmicowmix7154]

Lol im the 666th like

[@epiccandy14]

the only time hey sing togheter o_o wait is that how you spell it o_O

[@EduMeza83]

For you! Thanks! Visit thejemplayer.jimdo.com, there are mp3 for this songs.

[@manictigger1031]

truth is, I know about 4 other people that agree with you 100%

[@hot4need2speed]

True and they also had more of a personality too than the holograms!

[@CandyGirlnRoses]

That's what my husband said when we watched this!
