Red88Rex's Top 10 Jem and The Holograms Songs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 сер 2015
- I know, you're probably wondering WTF? The Jem cartoon is one of my guilty pleasures. I was born the year it originally aired (1985), but I watched reruns of it in the early 90's - and thanks to the incredibly raunchy "Jiz" overdub (look it up on here), I decided to actually watch an episode of the show to see what was really going on. I ended up finishing all of them, twice, as a full grown adult.
In my defense, the show actually was pretty well written and contained a lot of adult situations. Jerrica Benton had the "Superman" thing going on with her multiple identities and that's always fun to watch. Last time I checked, you can watch all episodes remastered here on UA-cam. This is a good article about the adult themes of the show:

I saw they were making a live action movie and the trailer looked atrocious. I am not happy. I forgot that I tabbed out the theme song for guitar a few years back so I'm going to see about making a quick cover of it haha. Also been meaning to dress up as Jem for Halloween. I should get around to that.
All in all, it was just part of the Hasbro trifecta in the mid 80's trying to sell toys/dolls.
IT'S SHOWTIME, SYNERGY!!

“Like A Dream” is the absolute best song from the entire series. The harmony, the lyrics; is Grammy worthy.
The chorus sounds like 'I got my mind set on you' by George Harrison. Still a really good tune though! I love jem, reliving my childhood memories :)
Truly Outrageous
My favorite too!!
@@honeysugar1 Absolutely!!
Maybe that’s why it’s the ONLY song that got repeated 3 times in show!!!!!
I was born in ‘05 but own the whole series and have watched all of them MANY times😂💕
Ayyy same
sammmmme
Looks like we're all in the same boat here lol
Eden im 40 now...i was a young boy watching jem on abc every sat !! Me and my big bro ..no lie..this cartoon was light years ahead of its time..
same this used to come on the hub/discovery kids
For some reason, Hollywood seems incapable of adapting cartoons to live action correctly. I try to pretend the only Transformers movie ever made is the 1986 animated one.
I very much agree, except that Bumblebee, the movie, is not bad actually. I know, it surprised me as well. Oh, also, Chickbait made a pretty great fan-made live action Jem short.
Me and my big bro watched this as kids... This cartoon came out in 85 " but it was before its time
Had a mid late 90's flare ..real talk..missda80's
I rather enjoyed the first 3 movies lol
Trust me If they made sailor moon into a Hollywood thing . It would suck. Sometimes animation had more magic and imagination than a live action.
@@BriEntAnderson yeah bc its made by asians not americans ofc it would suck they wouldnt follow the plot line correctly
Britta had flair to her voice. She was so humble about it all too. I hope she still gets money from being the singing voice of Jem.
Although, The Misfits songs are better Britta is an undeniable talent! And I hear echoes of her voice in Lauren Mayberry, the lead singer from Chvrches.
she is in the bands Luna and Dean & Britta with her husband Dean Wareham
When the series Is broadcast somewhere, I believe the voice actors get a royalty
My mom was born in 1982 so she loved this show dearly 😂💕 now I enjoy it aswell as a 2007 kid.
K y u t i e have watched it since kindergarten and I was born in 07 tooo💞
You and your mom have awesome taste!! My favorite cartoon of all time.
Wavyuna she has good taste..i was born in 80 " watched every sat faithfully !! Im 38 now..mad memories from the 80s
I was born in 1982 and still remember that cartoon
Me too! As a 07 kid I was obsessed with this show. I watched the whole thing like 3 times over. I was heartbroken when the took it off of Netflix!
Who else remembers watching this as a kid and just loving it
I still do lol thx to tubi
Me
Honorary HOLOGRAM! present
I agree with the description Jem is a very well written cartoon, yes some episodes are complete garbage but it also has amazing episodes. It could get incredibly deep and mature something I really didn't expect, I would be lying if I said I didn't cry a bit during episodes like "out of the past". This show is my childhood (even though I was born in the 2000s) and it's one of my favourite cartoons, thanks for this list! :)
Thanks for stopping by. Yeah, it was much deeper than I expected for sure.
No problem! These are some of my favourite songs from the show as well. :)
No 'In the Land of the Midnight Sun'? lol. I'm a LOT older than you and a dude but grew up in the 80s and loved the songs and action in this show :D That song and the opening theme were the only ones I remember, and 'Welcome to the Jungle' by the Misfits. Maybe they were in the same ep that I remember? But anyhoo, thanks for steering me toward more awesome songs ^_^ ~Nick/Protectobot (80s Transformers cartoon reference...)
How is this show from your childhood if you were born in the 2000s? Did they show it on tv where you are from? I was born in 77 and I consider r the loony tunes to be from my childhood even thought they were made like in the 1700s.
I've become a fan of the comic book by IDW. It's a proper modernization of the show that's got a great visual style.
As a boy, I had no problem watching these with my sister and enjoying it. The songs and story were enjoyable.
Same, except I didn't have a sister. After all these years I still enjoy its music.
My top 10:
10: Time is Running Out
9: When it's Only Me and the Music
8: Click/Clash (Feat. The Misfits)

My top 10 (in no particular order are)
Only the Beginning
Like a Dream
You May Be A Star (Starlight girl Krissie, I love how she put Dominic in his place)
Starlight (by Jacqui Benton Jerica and Kimber's mother)
I Believe in Happy Endings
Always There in My Heart
Time Is Running Out
I'm Okay (Kimber and Stormer
Getting Down to Business
A Father Should Be (Starlight girl Ba Nee)
Well I was born in '75 so I guess that makes me an OG lol... this is truly a huge part of my childhood and the music, clothes they wore, hair and makeup felt so modern at the time, hahahaha
I'm an OG myself, and I was born in 1974.
And I also happen to be a male, for the record.
Bringing alot of our childhoods back. The 80s was the best decade for cartoons. And alot of people would've thought that Jem and the Holograms was only for girls to watch. But alot of us guys watched as well.
@Arnez Willis yo, Arnez, dude, dont forget My Little Pony and Care Bears. Those are also girly cartoons, but l use to watch them growing up in the 80s, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Wait a minute! What about "She's got the Power" which is the song that helped the viewers discover and understand how important Synergy was to Jem and the series. That song explained everything. I love your compilation but no Jem compilation would be complete with out "She's got the Power"
I somehow agree.
The 40 Year Anniversary of Jem in 2025 is approaching, and we want even more of Jem! Please write a petition to different toy making companies everywhere, & ask them to bring back all of the Jem dolls, especially the Starlight Girls dolls.
This song is everything
Man, she/he could only choose 10 songs lol! Way too many awesome songs are gonna be left out.
I was named after Jerrica Benton in this. It is a trip to watch this and hear my name cause I have never talked to another Jerica. People have said they have known people with my name but I personally have not met one.
My best friend has the name Jerica although it's pronounced differently than Jerrica. It is a rare name.
In this day and age NOBODY SHOULD BE GUILTY of liking this stuff! This coming from a fan who saw the episodes on TV in both English and Spanish when they were new (maybe a wee biased but then...).
Finally someone had the audacity (this video compilation came to me OVER 1 YEAR after it was uploaded) to make a proper Top 10 (I've recently tried to watch whatever list the JatH cartoon could belong on) of this cartoon and I'm delighted (I could see some other of the > 100 different songs [there are 189 variants of them, including 2 opening themes and they have been numbered in order of appearance] replace one or 2 of them, but most viewers can agree on most of this list).
I'd say that if you hadn't had the chance to watch full episodes, on whatever medium, do it, you'll only need like 2 of them to GET HOOKED...
* 31 years on the air, 30 years in the full episode format in English and Español Américano... (all commemorated in October)
syxepop I completely agree and I grew up watching this show every Sunday morning since 1986
Did anyone else hear them say "making love" in the first song?
Ghostwriter me
Ghostwriter yes
Omg they actually did
Yes to a fantasy
apparently it meant something else back then. i think it meant just kissing/making out.
I'm singing along and I'm shocked I can remember the lyrics perfectly to every song despite having not watched this series in like 20 years. Jem was my childhood!!!
Ditto.
The 40 Year Anniversary of Jem in 2025 is approaching, and we want even more of Jem! Please write a petition to different toy making companies everywhere, & ask them to bring back all of the Jem dolls, especially the Starlight Girls dolls.
My top10...pretty similar to most of you.
10. Click/Clash (with the misfits)
9. I got my eye on you
8. Hollywood Jem
7. Glitter & Gold
6. Twilight In Paris
5. Truly Outrageous
4. Too Close
3. Who is he Kissing
2. Music is Magic
1. Liiiiike...a dream! Haha
Hon mentions. "The Real Me" "the title song" "Mardi Gras" "She's got the power"...
Yall are missing the boat on "I Like Your Style" and "Falling In Love With A Stranger."
@@jameslee133 they could only fit 10 songs. So many great songs are gonna be left out.
“ It All Depends On The Mood I’m In “ is one of my favorite Jem and The Holograms songs!! ❤️❤️
"Like a Dream" was my jam!
I've always thought the song could be rewritten and expanded and recorded by Britta or Samantha on one of their own albums since it has such a relaxing soothing aspect to it.
My faves were always “You Already Know”, “When It’s Only Me and The Music”, “I Got My Eye On You”, and “Come On In, The Waters Fine”.
Ahhhh so hard to pick faves!!!!
Ohhhh yeah come on in the water is fine # 2 for me
I've always loved Jem and I always will, I was 9 years old when the series first aired in 1985. It came on every morning at 7 am and I would watch it before I left to go to school.
These songs were way ahead of their time and so unique. I still love them.
Rio sure was in a rollercoaster of emotions with Jen and jennica
I kinda think Rio knew Jerrica was Jem.
@@josephclegg3562 They owe us at least an hour and a half "animated" movie where we see Jem coming clean to Rio and them ending up getting married.
@@popi2971 Agree with the movie premise but Jerrica/Jem should’ve dumped Rio 5 episodes in. He was such an insecure asshole honestly. I know Rio was Jerrica’s first love or something, but geez. He didn’t really have any character development either. I kinda liked Riot more, especially after seeing the episode in season 3 about his backstory and home life situation. Hasbro ordered 13-episode contracts for this show in particular and I assume it got canceled due to declining doll sales and the abrupt “finale” episode. I sometimes refer to it as “season 2 ½,” lol. Absolutely adore this show though and I’m 14. I think it has a lot of charm, and of course absolutely fantastic songs. It’s amazing they included 3 fully-produced songs in each episode (obviously their were repeats with different music videos, but yeah). They put a lot of effort into it; I appreciate it more then the creators & animators know.
I'm just a child but I love this show! I'm in the middle of watching season 1 on Netflix. I remember when I was 8 I watched a little bit of this on Hub network.
cant believe they took it off netflix
Britta's voice was incredible! I also loved the production of each song -- the bass lines, synths, percussion, horn arrangements -- it was such a winning combination. "I Believe In Happy Endings", "Back In Shape", and "Let The Music Play" are other favorite songs of mine.
I was born in 04 and I tried to talk about jem and the holograms to my friends recently n they said they didn’t know what I was talking about but I remember growing up watching, loving, and being inspired by her🥺 honestly one of the best shows
Me too I feel so alone when I talk about it it’s so old haha
I can relate because I was born on 2004 too.
Same
U young enough to be my daughter. I was born in '84 and I was 1 when this ORIGINALLY aired. My mom was your age then and I lived for Saturday morning cartoons. They was truly the best and yes the '80s and '90s were truly great times to grow up in and I miss it all with a passion! You really did miss out sister but I can appreciate your admiration for such. I plan on opening a retro business soon and may hire you as a future employee. Stay tuned if you are interested.
My sister had some... cassette tapes for it when I was a kid. Loved the theme song.
UA-cam is pretty nice for some things. I could listen to some of these songs all day. And I must say, I love the quality on this video. I've never heard the theme song sound so good.
I use to watch jem and the hologram with my dad. I wasn't ever born during the 80s.
Same
My top 10
1. I got my eye on you
2. When it’s only me and the music
3.something is missing in my life
4.universal appeal
5.starlight
6.first love
7.alone again
8. it all depends on the mood I’m in
9.cant get my love together
10.a father should be
Not sure if I want to actually watch the show again, but I now know why these songs are STILL stuck in head. Britta's is an outstanding singer! That and sharp key changes!
I was literally a child of the 80's and I remember watching this series when it was NEW, and the dolls were in the stores. As I kid I didn't realize how "deep" the show was with it's adult themes and complex storylines. Now as an adult, listening to these songs, I think to myself, these are LEGIT 80's songs. They have the sound of Madonna, Cindy Lauper, The Go-Gos, and so many others from that area. They could have been legitimately recorded in full length by any of these artists of that day and be hit songs.
Someone here 2020?
Yess
Most certainly don't make music like this anymore today stuff sux hard
Some rocking bass lines going on here.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS FOREVER 💓💓
My childhood 😭❤️ thanks for sharing
I got my eye on you 💕😭
Best song ever lol
I remember waking up at 4am when I was like 6 to watch this♥️🥺
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who is I love with this show. I was born in 2003 but it’s so good. I wish these songs were on Spotify
I think they are? If not on SoundCloud I found them :)
When Jem was originally on TV, I would sit next to the TV with my tape recorder and record the songs from the show so that I could listen to them again.
😉Why i didn't do that? I 've listened "JEM" again, only in 2011 on my computer." CLICH CLASH" & SHE 'S GOT THE POWER" were often on my mind between 1986 and 2011 when i thought about the show😊..... I 've still listened JEM & the MISFIT'S (OUTTA MY WAY" I LIKE YOUR STYLE" on 2011😊.
@@pierrepinson2906 LOL it use to come on in the morning so I would set the VCR to record and watch when I got home from school. I watched those tapes over and over LOL
Until did the very same thing myself.
Don't worry, you weren't the only one who did that.
You're in both good standing and good company.
:-)
Lol aw man. Good idea. Thank God for me I was gifted the cassette tapes for Christmas 😎
Fascinating, miss it so much.
This cartoon is known for the animated music videos
DECEPTION should definitely be on this list.
THANK YOU!!!
It All Depends On The Mood I'm In... Love the way the slap bass line and piano are locked in together. Great vocals.
This show made me respect my sisters more as a kid when they'd let me sit and watch it with them before going to school in the morning, nostalgia at its best with this one 😂
I was born in '87 and can totally understand you!
Even though here in germany I could just watch it via "SuperChannel" when I was a little kid and didn't understand everything (I was like 5-6 years old when it aired).
I'm still a big fan of the 80s. :)
I really enjoy the show, the songs (that were sometimes really progressive for that time) and the aesthetic. To refresh the beauty of this show - I just rewatched it.
My Top 10:
- Come on in the waters fine
- Everybody wears a mask
- Like a dream
- Love is doin it to me
- She's got the power
- Truly outrageous
- Twilight in paris
- Who is he kissing
- Click/Clash
- Outta my way
Hannah Montana is the Disney knockoff of Jem and the holograms
So did Lady Gaga and Katy Perry
When I had Netflix I randomly found this show and I love it so much. I watched it over 3 times it is so good. And I dont have anything to watch atm so I'm definently watching this again.
Click/Clash is also a really good song in my opinion. One of my favorites.
I’m only 12 but jem I’ve been watching since 2 or 3
man not many cartoons go this hard with songs anymore
“Only the Beginning” was the perfect launch anthem for the band to make an outstanding first impression. Still get goosebumps when I hear it.
"I believe in happy endings" is my all time favorite
"All Depends on the Mood I'm in"
and "Like a Dream" were my favorites..
*side note:
I quit ballet when I was a kid bc jem was my idol and this show came on at the same time as my classes. After my VCR failed twice to record when I was in class, I was devastated..and done with ballet 😆
Now I picture Black Swan, and one of your jealous classmates wrecking your VCR to take you out 🤣
Brings back sweet memories 🥰 Thanks for posting 👩🏼🎤
Britta Phillips who does Jem’s singing voice was also Billy in the movie satisfaction (and killed on Mr. Big Stuff)
Britta phillips had that voice that caught ur attention
Love it still now so what it back on tv for my kids
This brings back so many memories. Thanks for sharing👍👍👍👍😀😀😀
"I've got My eye on You" the most sensual Song of Jem ♥️ love it!!😘
The great legacy of Britta Phillips, pop star of the 80s JEM forever
I am 05 baby but I LOVE JEM and the holograms show SOOO SOOO MUCH! I vividly remember the joy it brought me to watch the sometimes terrible episodes lol.
I'm n my late 40s I still watch it religiously....
Alot of the songs still have the same affect as when ever I first watched them...
Love it! I was hoping you had Deception and Twilight in Paris.
+Bianca Kinloch I was hoping for Glitter and Gold to be honest
One of my faves too...I'm watching Jem now as I get ready for work, lol
Bianca Kinloch Lol Jem is my guilty pleasure and I wasnt even born when it was on or its taget audience
Lol, I remember watching it as a little girl, but looking at it as an adult I love it even more. I love how "80's" it is...the music, the clothes...it's my guilty pleasure too!
Bianca Kinloch i totally agree
Umm where is " deception, twilight in paris, beat this, glitter and gold, time is running out, click/clash, we can change it, when it's only me in the music, and getting down to business?"
I was sad to not see 'Beat This' and 'We Can Make a Difference'.
This whole series is so nostalgic even though I was born in '08
i'm a boy named jem and i find this hilarious!
Do you spell your name like Jem?
Wow 🤔✌
It's the only cartoon for girls ever made featuring adult characters that I know of... Boys usually have adult heroes, girls have these little girl heroes. Just a weird fact of life.
It’s a nice change isn’t it
In my opinion no other show or cartoon was able to capture the time.. musically, for a cartoon TV, Jem did and still stands above the rest. And Only the Beginning, y'all know it's like top tier pop... It's just so fun exciting and pulsating to my ears. Literally my get ready song all of the time!!🎉🎉🎉
I love this.
Thank you so much for posting this. Will be my new morning soundtrack.
I feel like the show was allowed to get away with more than most of it's time because it was a "girl" show and wasn't watched as strictly. Despite the surprising amount of action and explosions for a show about a glam girl rock group. You could tell the same people that made Transformers and GI Joe made it and sometimes I think they forgot what show was what. Of course that almost means it had it's share of dumb plots like the other two as well. All three shows had an episode where the lead is replaced by an imposter and nobody initially notices despite the obvious tells for example, and it and ton of 80s cartoons had an episode where they go to Shangri-La (or some equivalent) for some odd reason.
"Taking a train" may not be your cup of tea, but it is a true novelty song, because Jem sings this phrase at least 30 x times, then trails off and sounds like the lonesome whistle of the steam locomotive, the Iron Horse, then the sound of a synthysised steam whistle is added over her voice, and it trails off and echos in the distance. Plus I have a large model railroad collection, in all the popular scales, from Z to 1:8th large live steamers, and soon, a real train, like a caboose, and Pullman car.
Thank you for this!
this list has a majority of my favorite Jem songs thank you from a lifetime Jem fan! and I can agree with you that movie is total garbage and they have the nerve not to have any female perspective involved, especially Christy Marx the Creator and Jem of all people. I'm glad it bombed.
I’m a 2007 baby but my dad introduced me to this show because it was popular in his day. It was one of our favorite shows to watch together
All these songs sound so wonderfully 80's! It warms my heart.
I miss Shangri La.
Me too!
Where's that?
@@josephclegg3562 I think is a city in China.
that and "let the music play"
super solid list, actually all really good picks
The music is so amazing ? oh wow I'm so surprised ? 😍
So now i am going to have watch my jem and hologram dvd. Bc they have the best music. Twilight in Paris is so good and that dreaming song the bomb. I wish i could by this music on iTunes..
Omg thanks so much for making this!!!
Born in 1984 and my 9-year-old niece just got into this and it brought proper nostalgia for me!
ok i was born in 2008 and my dad showed me this when I was 6 then now I'm 13 and I just saw this on my recommended I'm so glad he showed me this.
The hair and the clothes 🤩
Cmon on in the water is fine, glitter and gold and dear diary need to be on the list.
Oh I can't believe I forgot Dear Diary - that is another on my top 10 .
classics - all of them! such vibes
This cartoon series is so dear to my heart. They really invested in the music team. I downloaded the only songs I could find!
O6 baby literally my childhood
these are still fire
We truly have to thank The Hub, C.N., and USA for exposing the new generations to these Hasbro properties over the years ♥️
Shout out to some of their underrated hits: Set Your Sails, Too Much, Love Unites Us, Broadway Magic, It's Fun To Be Scared and Running Like The Wind
Literally I’m 07 and I fucking loved this show as a kid
I'm also a grown up that never watched the show in its time, but I gave it a try last week, and now I'm a fan! haha I don't know but I love it! That 80s vibe to the top is great!
I was born in 84 but loved this cartoon
I love your playlist 💜💜💜
I got The Misfits a Gig with “Cold Slither” aka The Dreadnok’s Buzzer, Torch & Ripper also I brought a friend to help with Cobra Commander’s Buisness in the Mind Control Music industry he Deceptively light being able to change himself in a small package.(Tape player Reveals itself as Soundwave). Come on they live in the same universe, The Misfits, Cobra, & the Decepticons gotta have some fun too in a way that works with both Hero & Villain can both have what they want. & I decided to have G.I. Joe join Forces with Optimus Prime’s Autobot’s as well as Cobra uniting with Megatron’s Decepticon’s I’ve merge both Insignia’s of their partnerships together.
Let me ask this: How come record or CD companies never released actual copies of Jem and the Holograms or The Misfits' music? They did that with The Simpsons.
Thanks for this video, this cartoon was absolutely famous and very appreciated in Italy thanks to a wonderful Italian opening pop-rock song still famous today (I''m curious to hear your opinion about it). All the other songs were never translated, as kids we could not sing them in a proper way but this helped me to study English :)
do you know the pop song? I'm not sure I"ve heard it
@@Red88Rex it's not famous outside Italy but I was curious to know the opinion of an American fan of Jem. It's Easy to find, just write "Jem and the Hologramm sigla Italia" on UA-cam
70s baby here..Thanks so nuch for this video!💕💞💞💞💜💕💕💞💓💕💜💜🤎💜💜💫
I used to watch this cartoon on tv on a channel called the hub. After a while they stopped airing them, but when I got Netflix on my tablet after a year or so I looked true the cartoon section and the first thing that appeared was Jen and the holograms. My are truly outrageous and the them songr
My ALL time favs as a kid (and now) were “like a dream”, “only the beginning” and “it depends on the mood I’m in”! FOREVER 💖!!!
