Selina, Hebe and Ella are three pretty young Taiwanese singing girls. Their new album "Magical Journey" can be heard all the way to Beijing's Great Hall of the People. The three singing angels are regarded as the most popular pop group in Taiwan and Hong Kong, However, when they entered a singing competition in Taiwan in 2000, none of them even dreamed of being a superstar. Ella and Hebe were only expecting the 10,000 yuan prize, while Selina was encouraged by her younger sister, who was then too young to take part.
"We had never met before, and we didn't talk at all at the beginning," said Ella with a smile. "Then we were put together in a room, eating and sleeping together. And we soon found we had a lot that was similar to each other and could enjoy everything. "
The three are getting on so well that they each believe it was God that let them become friends and form a three-in-one band. They even named their band "S. H. E. ", which comes from the first letters of their English names.
Selina is a shy attractive girl. Hebe, the youngest of the three, is confident and always comes up with new ideas. Bright and encouraging, Ella is regarded as the head of the band. Even when she was off because of the pain in her back last summer, she till remembered to phone the other two and push them to move on.
When asked about the secret to their success, the boyish Ella said, "The not-so-pretty faces and not-so-expensive dresses keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters."
It's really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to well-known singers. Nothing but magical indeed.
