A lot of people may ask: Who are The SoapGirls?
Well, I am going to tell you exactly who they
are. The word 'SOAP' stands for Sassy Outrageous And Pink.
Camille and Noemie (A.K.A Millie and Mie)
make up The SoapGirls. They are sisters
and they are originally born in Paris, France. They also know a
bit of 66 languages, which to me is a talent. When
they were younger, they used to sell their own home made soap for various
causes/charities ,in Hout Bay, Cape Town,
next to the fish and chips shop that is called "Marina's Wharf" . Mille and Mie discovered that they
wanted to be singers at a young age.
Last year, in the year 2011, The SoapGirls released their
first single "Sour" which was played on the radios. One day, when the
SOAP Girls were busy being interviewed by 94.5 KFM, when they spoke, they both
spoke at the same time, the exact same words (which not even my sister and I
could do).
They have a Facebook fan page called "The SoapGirls", in which case, last year (2011), I started talking to
them. At first I was a little shy as I couldn't believe that I was talking to a
well-known group. After a while I started talking to The SoapGirls a lot more as I
have become a big fan of theirs. The SoapGirls call their fans 'Diamonds'.
Mid December last
year, they released their debut album "Xperience" which is available
at any CD store in South Africa. In my opinion, I think you should
definitely buy their CD. From what I know, The
SoapGirls have worked long and stressful hours to
create such an incredible album. I love all the song tracks on their album, but
the current song which I am listening to mostly is "Hurricane". As I
said, all their songs are amazing, they are meaningful and very
inspirational.
My advice when you first listen to the
SOAP Girls album: When you first listen to their album, close your eyes and try
to understand what message they are telling you.
My review of the SoapGirls music video "Hurricane":
If you haven't watched the 'behind the scenes'
of this music video, then you might not understand the meaning of the music
video. If you watch the 'begins the scenes' video, the SoapGirls state that this
music video is true to who they are as people and as musicians. It also shows
that they are not afraid of any challenges they face. In the music video,
towards the bridge of their song, in one scene, they may be baring their skin,
but to me, it shows that they are not afraid of anything that comes
their way. To me, if you bare your skin on a movie, TV Series or music videos,
it shows that you are not afraid. Instead, you have a high self-esteem, you are
confident about yourself and you love yourself just the way you are (I don't
mean conceited, you are generally happy with who you are).
"Hurricane" is definitely a song about love (It is almost like a
metaphor about love). My advice to you is when you first watch the music video,
look at it carefully and try to understand the message the SOAP Girls are
conveying.
The SoapGirls have inspired me when I first knew about them. Yes, Amy Lee
is my number 1 role model I look up to, but I also look up to other people like
the SOAP Girls. They are motivated and tell their fans never to give up on
their goals and dreams, and that's what I look up to in them.
I can tell you that I have to thank them for
giving me the opportunity to meet them at the MCQP. Their performance was truly
amazing! They were really funny and everyone I saw at the MCQP enjoyed their
performance. During The SoapGirls performance, they played "Puppet on a String" and
they said that it was especially for one of their fans (Yes, that was me.).
After their performance, I got to meet them, and they signed their album for me. When I met them, they were
down-to-earth girls, very kind and their personalities are so warm with care.
I have recently asked The SoapGirls via the social
network, Twitter, if they could answer the following questions:
1. What inspired both of you to become singers?
TSG: "We have since the youngest age found happiness and
inspiration in music and performing."
2. Who are your role models?
TSGs: "Our mom, she is very inspiring/amazing and Madonna."
3. How long did it take to record your album
"Xperience"?
TSG: "9 Months."
4. How motivated are you both before
a performance?
TSG: "We always amped, it's our favourite part performing live
to a crowd."
5. What was it like when you shot your music
video "Hurricane"? What was the experience like?
TSG: "It was amazing to be able to put ourselves physically to
our song".
I am a huge fan of The SoapGirls and I am Proud to be
a Diamond!
The SoapGirls are definitely my favourite pop group.
