Jade Valerie

[Ayumi Hamasaki]

Yes, as you can probably tell from my avatar and such, I'm a huge Jade fan. I have all the Sweetbox albums when she was a member, minus one which I haven't yet found, Out of the Box, Bittersweet Symphony, and Eternity Infinty. I love them all.

It all started with the opening of FF10-2. I loved that song, loved the voice, and found out who it was. At first I thought it was Koda Kumi, but she only did the japanse versions. When I beat the game, I saw that it was Jade from Sweetbox, and knew that I had found a new favorite artist.

Does anyone else love her work? Hate it? Why? Tell me, I'd love to hear

The only song I've heard from Jade is the English version of Real Emotion from FFX-2.

She has a nice voice, but it wasn't something that made me go 'OMG I should find more of her work.'

Every now and then I will do that with other artists though. I'll hear someone I've never heard before and go hunting for their other songs, like with Kevin Rudolf. Never heard of him until I accidentally stumbled across him on YouTube and have been addicted since. XD

But yeah she has a nice voice, just not one that I would listen to all the time.

No one else listens to Jade, at all? Not Saint Vox, Sweetbox, or Eternity. None of her projects at all. You all are really missing out, because she can write much better songs than most people who are famous now, like Gaga or even my darling Madonna. Her songs are really personal.

Hm, now I've got to make myself a new sig, and avatar to get the word out about Jade.

I do I do! I've got all her songs! well okay not all, I miss most songs from the raw treasures album.
I love it. I have so many faves.
It all started with a 1000 words as well. I even saw her episode from touched by an angel, she was so young there xD

My faves are ladies night, Graceland, 1000 words, million miles, hate without frontiers and her new solo album: Crush, tuned up, ooh la la , should I sum up more ?

 

[Ayumi Hamasaki]

Well, I'm glad I managed to find at least one person who loves her as much as I do. Ladies Night is good, but not my fave. I like the lyrics though, they always put a smile on my face. Graceland is good, too. I like the begging the most out of any part of it. Million Miles is fantastic, but very different from the other Sweetbox Era stuff. Tuned Up And Ohh La La are both fantastic songs. I particularly love the whole danciness of both.

Crush is fantastic, but I love the duet version even more. It adds the pringle can line! It's one of my favorite corny Jade lines.

Are you aware of her new projects Eternity Infinity (symbol not word but I can't find the symbol and Saint Vox? They're really good as well!

I'm just happy to find another fan!

I don't even pay that much attention to the lyrics, I should lol.
There are just a few songs I don't listen to. Killing me DJ doesn't appeal to me and Everything's gonna be alright, I'm not your doctor is awful.
But I just love how Jade has different styles. That classical touch in the songs make it so awesome!

I've heard about the project but I don't really follow the news. Haven't listened much to Jade lately, but I'll definitely check it out.
