S.H.E成軍7年人氣不墜 雙榜封后


2008年09月28日 蘋果日報


S.H.E人氣旺，新專輯宣稱預購破4萬張。


大玩拼裝歌、Rap結合繞口令等音樂遊戲，似乎還沒玩夠。報導：吳禮強


女子團體S.H.E暌違1年4個月的新專輯《我的電台FM S.H.E》，本周輕鬆登上g-music和五大金榜雙料冠軍，對於這支成軍7年，人氣始終不墜的女子天團來說，封后其實不令人意外。而幾米的音樂劇《向左走向右走》月中在台北小巨蛋演出，票房雖僅有5成，但該劇原聲帶仍吸引幾米粉絲和樂迷，在雙榜同樣位居第5。

言行舉止相當無厘頭的S.H.E，上張專輯《PLAY》大玩拼裝歌、Rap結合繞口令等音樂遊戲，似乎還沒玩夠，這回如法炮製的包括拷貝Michael Jackson《Billy Jean》的《比你賤》、重製黃霑《男兒當自強》的《女孩當自強》，更找來周杰倫重新拼貼自己的《安靜》，由Selina填詞變身成為《安靜了》。

這樣的把戲是老梗還是食髓知味見仁見智，整張專輯穿插了3段3人以DJ身分串場的口白，對死忠歌迷來說應該會覺得有趣；但其實配合《我的電台》這樣的主題，與網路電台結合，拉大宣傳戰線，才是唱片公司欲行之目的。倒是慢歌《沿海公路的出口》、《店小二》和《月光手札》，S.H.E唱出感人的氛圍。

幾米《向左走向右走》搬上音樂劇舞台，幾位主角張鈞甯、陳柏霖和楊祐寧的歌藝和票房畫上等號，但該劇的燈光、音樂仍堪稱水準之作，因此配樂專輯一推出，仍受到樂迷支持。周杰倫新專輯《魔杰座》下月9日正式發片，首波主打《稻香》已在ezPeer+登上亞軍，證明他的實力與魅力仍所向披靡。

S.H.E Together for 7 Years
No Drop in Popularity
Queen on Both Charts
[2008.09.28]

Playing musical games such as crossover songs, fusing rap with tongue twisters, they did not to have played enough.

[My Station FM S.H.E], the new album from female group S.H.E after 1 year and 4 months, made its way easily to the top as champions on the g-music chart and the 5Music Gold chart. For this top female group which has been together for seven years without any decrease in popularity, topping the charts actually was not surprising.

S.H.E who was fairly nonsensical both verbally and behaviorally, played musical games such as cross-over songs and fusing rap with tongue twisters in their last album [PLAY] but it seemed that they had not played enough. This time, they continued with songs like [More Despicable Than You] which copied Michael Jackson’s [Bille Jean], reproduced James Wong’s [Men Ought To be Strong] into [Girls Ought to be Strong] and even got Jay Chou to compose a crossover of his own song [Silent] and had Selina wrote the lyrics to change it into [Silence].

It would depend on individual perspective on whether this type of game was old trick or continuing the trend because of past success. The whole album was interspersed with three interludes in which the trio acted as DJs. To loyal fans, this would be fun. However, the true purpose of the record company going this route was to coordinate the theme of [My Station] with the joining of an online broadcast network in order to strengthen promotion success. It was slow songs such as [Coastal Highway Exit], [Waiter] and [Moonlight Diary] that S.H.E brought out a touching ambience with their singing.
