The SoapGirls


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.
