The Stingers - Destiny (168/187)

[@CaptEoNinja83]

You can't blame Riot for falling for Jem, they have practically the same hairstyle. It's DESTINY!!

[@Buguese]

The 80's! When men were big, and women's hair was bigger

[@bhd7721]

But Jem didn't feel they same way about Riot that she felt for Rio. I could see Riot and Pizzazz maybe but not Riot and Jem. But Riot didn't feel the same way about Pizzazz either. Both Pizzazz and Riot deserves better. Even Stormer I wish that the writers would have given Stormer another new love interests for other than that man that she met when the Holograms and the Misfits were stranded together on an island. Why couldn't she meet a guy like Rio or some other nice looking man.

[@Butterfly22593]

​@@bhd7721Jem was attracted to Riot but she still had feelings for Rio. Towards the end of the series she was starting to warm up to Riot but they canceled the show before we could see where it went☹️

[@tangelineforever]

Vicki Sue Robinson did the damn thing singing her butt off as both Minx and Rapture! I was a fan of hers since I was little listening to her disco abum in the 70s. When I learned as a teen ,in the 80s, she did the singing for them both, I loved her even more.

[@shinny_grimmy]

Wow. Genuinely thought that was 2 different women singing. Props to her

[@kenthuang436]

She also provided backup vocals for Irene Cara’s song Fame.

[@mikechicago6200]

She has nice vocals Vicki

[@aerialpunk]

I wish The Stingers were a real band. I'd buy every one of their albums.

[@eeliz7675]

LOL I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE!!!!!!

[@cassandrasoe9131]

I would love to see people now make music like this. Now, all my generation has is trash and rap. With lyrics that mostly talk about some girls ass. Keep in mind not all songs nowaday are like that, but music now is really different. If the Stingers were real, they would be my favorite band.

[@princedarienlover]

Indeed

[@Duraffinity]

As far as fictional bands go, they are my favorite. :)

[@geewizwiz3]

Gordon Grody who voiced Riot's singing voice and Vicki Sue Robinson who voiced Minx and Rapture's singing voices were real recording artists in the past.

[@stay_blessed23]

I wish they had a full song to this, I will listen to this religiously.

[@FiAdont]

DvF has made some good extended versions!

Sad that Vickie sue Robinson who was the vocalist for rapture and minx passed she was great

[@mikechicago6200]

Rip

[@mariusconstantin6057]

May she rest in peace

[@lordsxman]

Songs like this, "Gettin' Down to Business", and "I'm Okay" make me think they should revamp the show. I mean they've brought back just about every other 80's cartoon show...

[@eribelle753]

+Ursine ComicGeek I'd LOVE it as long as they didn't 1. Ruin the art style/CGI it. 2. Kept it 80s and truly outrageous...modern music makes me cry, especially since Jem is pop. 3. Hopefully could get the same voices ;-;. The latter is both the most important and least likely...

[@androzani84productions85]

the wordsmith the problem is that when you do a movie set in the past, it gets written off as a biopic and ignored by the wider demographic.

[@lilligent]

Erika Winston Unfortunately, getting the same voice actors isn’t possible, as Kimber’s/Aja’s voice actor died, same for Raya’s va as well :(

[@alex-iz5jv]

definitely but it ans to have better quality aniamtion more open minded ideas like more lgbtq morals

[@wherearemyeyes7767]

*cue the Jem movie failure*

[@roryllewellyn4526]

It IS one of our best! Allowing Rapture to sing lead was brilliance! I'm glad I thought of it.

[@mikechicago6200]

Sad she has passed

This is a great song

@@theexpresidents Damn right, and what do you mean by "behind the Misfits", if you don't mind me asking?

[@nickj12]

They sang the best out of all the groups on the show.

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

Having a male singer balanced things out quite well.

[@Sheila20gold]

This is the best song from The Stingers! *_*

Sheila Gold, RIGHT ON, MY SISTER!

[@cassiebrock7376]

I agree with you.😁

[@mariusconstantin6057]

For me it would be It's a hard, hard life

My sentiments exactly. That's why it's my personal, absolute, #1 favorite in the entire series.

[@ProphecyPhrase]

Okay, why does this slap so hard? If this was a real song with a full version, I would listen to this hard.

[@animangafan342]

This show was ahead of its time. It was before Sailor moon

[@retrodarling]

Sailor Moon and Jem are literally not similar in the slightest besides both being magical girls. And the genre itself has existed since the 60s anyway.

[@jacm4150]

jem isn't even magical, it's pretty much sci-fi lmao

[@retrodarling]

@@jacm4150 tbh yeah lmao, that would be a way more accurate description

[@zacharywysocki8660]

Another awesome song. I wish it was longer.

Riot has a really beautiful voice...he couldve be a big hit if he were real:)

Best stingers song ever

Ashley Smith My sentiments exactly.

[@KaseyKay92]

I love how close the Stingers are as a band and as a family~

[@MMDAMV]

See, what I like about The Stingers is that their songs are more like actual songs, rather than the repetitive, half-assed lyrics of some of The Holograms' or The Misfits'.

[@asiaJsato.]

aye aye watch how handle my girls now

[@ns3352]

Thought the same!!

[@bebebebota11]

I remember I hated The Stingers when I was little, but now I listen to them again and they rock! Riot has an amazing soft voice and they have a great sound :)

[@f33rcetv34]

wish they made this track longer-ive noticed a lot of the catchy songs on the show are the shorter ones

[@Numb3r3dDays]

The best Stingers song! Thanks for uploading these!

[@josem.figueroajr.4532]

claytoaj, that's true. That's why it's my absolute favorite song EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

It is my second favorite song of the Jem tv show! The music and voices are very gorgeous ! And I like the lyrics too!

All three bands rock, but the stingers and the misfits are awesome.

[@Desmodus]

This song is so catchy!

[@JoseFigueroa-iz2on]

The Stingers sang the HELL out of this song. That's why I love it so much. Tell me different.

[@jonathansantos2271]

so minimal lovely stinger ones💞

[@bezoticallyyours83]

This is one of my favorite Jem episodes

[@josem.figueroajr.4532]

bezoticallyyours83 , I'm not disagreeing. However, MY favorite episodes are The Talent Search Parts 1 & 2

[@bezoticallyyours83]

Jose Figueroa Jr. Those are good.

[@verydenise]

their songs sound like real 80s songs!

[@alecris33]

I like this one because the girls sing really here as Riot.

[@roryllewellyn4526]

I concur, Furyian! This song is, indeed, about Destiny's hand in our lives.

[@asiaJsato.]

The stingers shouldve gotten their own show so shouldve the misfits

[@hariengradford2699]

I just love Minx

[@IzludeTingel]

80s reverb simply CANT be beat. I demand the music industry be torched in order to make room for THIS.

[@MdnightWnd]

I removed my other comment about a different song since I found it using the search feature (duh, guess I should have thought of that before posting the comment!) I just wanted to thank you for cleaning these up and putting them up for me to listen to again and again. I honestly didn't like the Stingers when I watched the show back in the 80s when I was a kid (the Jem/Holograms songs were my favorites) but now I find them to be superior as they have much more depth. I would definitely buy a Stingers album!

[@AmorBesos123]

I love this song and minx ❤♥❤♥

WarHawk81A2 , it's true. It's DAMN true.

[@wonderingmind8547]

I feel guilty just saying this, but I would choose Riot over Rio. Six Packs *Drools*

[@TheMitigating]

Some would argue that Riot was more true to Jem than Rio.

[@andreavanhoof6047]

TheMitigating I believe that Riot would accept that Jem/Jerrica were one and the same without any reservation or judgement. Can you say the same for Rio? I do not think so!!

[@andreavanhoof6047]

It does, but over in Greece, Riot told Jerrica that he observed how insensitive Rio was and how he took her for granted.

[@shawniebyrd9393]

you shouldn't feel guilty over that Riot is way more of a man talk about a perfect man. and yeah he's got very nice six pack i love his NOT wearing shirt when he's on the beach *grins*

Even though I hate this episode, I have to admit that this is my favorite song by The Stingers

[@shawniebyrd9393]

I Love the Stingers they have such a great sound to them and all sing very well. I' love this song i wish it was longer but its still great. can't seem to wrap my head around why Minks likes that douch Rio he sucks he's always moody. He's just jealous because he won't ever be the real man that Riot is. what a sexy hunk heehee

[@andreavanhoof6047]

Mavis BeiFong Rio is really insensitive to Jem/Jerrica. He takes them both for granted and he claims that he believes in complete honesty but if one was to be completely honest with him, he would go completely ballistic.

[@shawniebyrd9393]

I know its why i dont like Rio. this is why Riot is awesome he knows what he wants and goes for it. he would make a good match for Jem he at least is honest in his love for her.

[@andreavanhoof6047]

Mavis BeiFong He would accept Jerrica/Jem for who she is and would understand about keeping her dual identity a secret.

[@shawniebyrd9393]

Riot? or Rio? I doubt it Rio would understand he doesn't ever seem to be happy with just one woman. I still can't see why Pizzazz likes Rio so much. i figured she would like a better guy then Rio. Besides Riot is more man. I'd love to listen to him sing.

[@andreavanhoof6047]

I am sorry that I did not make myself more clearly; Riot would understand the necessity of Jem/Jerrica keeping her dual identity a secret. Of course Riot is more of a man than Rio because he happens to be a little bit more mature than he is.

[@raccabracca]

What did all these women see in Rio? He was ghastly.

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@princessseraphina8990]

I'm going to say it. When Rapture sings high-pitched she sounds like Michael Jackson

[@patriciamoncreary3785]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one looking at this in 2022

[@TheCodexpage]

Yeah, you can hear the 80s beat in all songs but Jem's music, I think it was targeted for young teens and children so that's why it kinda sound like it's from the TVs or more specifically in a kid show

[@HiddenDarkHM]

Like, Jem's songs are good, the Misfits songs are better, but GOD the Stingers are on a WHOLE other level. Like I might bop to a Jem song on youtube every once and a while but the Stingers songs I would actually put on my ipod.

[@RubyDynamite]

I had basically all of the Stingers songs on my iPod for YEARS. None of the other bands, though - just the Stingers. lol

[@HiddenDarkHM]

@@RubyDynamite You are 100% valid

[@mochibubbly7434]

I feel the same way. The Stingers was the best. Then the Misfits then Jem and the holograms.

[@julieporter7805]

Of the three The Stingers were my favorite band. They weren't wholly good nor wholly bad. They were a neutral gray force. It's like the Holograms were the Jedi, The Misfits the Sith, and The Stingers the Gray Jedi. I love their songs like this and "Take It or Leave It" and how they come on almost like Trickster figures who have their own moral code. The Occult is a subject that I am interested so I love Rapture's connection to New Age and Riot and Minx aren't too dissimilar to other characters tbat I like and have written about. Plus I think that they went through more character development in less than a year than The Misfits did in their first two. (It seems with the exception of Stormer, most of their development and vulnerabilities weren't shown until well into the second season when Roxy and Stormer got their solo episodes and Pizazz got some attention in "Father's Day.")
