14 year-old-fan sings Jet Lag on stage with Simple Plan

AUTHOR: Dominika | 13. January 2012 | 2 comments

Simple Plan fans tend to have many dreams: some of them are happy when the band releases their new album, some of them can’t contain their excitement when they find out they are coming to their country, and some of them like to dream a little further than that: to the point where they wish Simple Plan played in their backyard or to have a chance to sing one of their songs with them on stage.

And some dreams do really come true. On the soundcheck for yesterday’s show in Manila, Philippines, Rica Singh (14), a hard-core Simple Plan fan, who has been listening to them ever since she was 5 years old, came to the venue with a huge sign saying: “Please, let me sing Jet Lag (French) with you on stage!”. David was the first to notice the sign and the band invited little Rica on the stage rightaway to fulfull her big dream.

Below you can check out a video of Rica’s reaction to being able to perform with her favourite band and their whole performance of the French version of Jet Lag:

Simple Plan have just released another one of their vlogs from their current tour across Asia: particularly from their visit to China. To check out how Simple Plan lost their suitcase, how they were greeted by fans on the airport and how they met Kelly Cha for the first time, and all that from SP’s point of view, watch the vlog below:

And where are Simple Plan now? After a day in Hong Kong, where they played a show yesterday – and even gave a few interviews to the local media, from where we already have some cool pictures in the gallery, the boys headed to Philippines today. But before they left Hong Kong, a few fans showed up at the airport to say their goodbyes to the band, so here is a couple of pictures from today:

Another thing worth mentioning are the new pictures from the show in Hong Kong from last night and also from the show in Taipei, Taiwan:

Simple Plan published a new vlog on their official website, which reveals how the guys were dealing with the lyrics of Auld Lang Syne and basically what the whole soundcheck for the New Year’s Eve show at Niagara Falls (where they played for more than 50 000 people) looked like:

What If as a part of the Show Your Strength campaign

AUTHOR: Dominika | 6. January 2012 | no comments

When Brook Peters was 4 years old, he was one of the little kids in a kindergarten that was located somewhere around the the place that we now call Ground Zero in the New York City. It was his second day of kindergarten when September 11th happened. And even though he or his family hasn’t been harmed, many firefighters lost their lives saving the people from there. These firefighters have been like Brook’s second family, as he’s pretty much grown in fire houses.

That is why when Brook turned 11, he decided to create his own documentary called “The Second Day”, which captured personal reflections on the day after the attacks on the World Trade Center. Brook finished the film when he was 14 years old. The Second Day premiered on the Tribeca Film Festival in the New York City, where it has received a standing ovation.

Brook is now fifteen and still making his way into the film/documentary industry. His first film made him realize how universal the story he shared through it, is, and how inspirational the messages of inner strength and resilience can be to other people. That’s why he’s decided to follow up with his own campaign called Show Your Strength and asked people from all around the world to share their messages of strength which then Brook put all into a video. A couple months ago, Simple Plan found out about this campaign and offered to support it with their song “What If”.

This is what Brook Peters has said about Simple Plan’s What If:

“I approached Simple Plan to use the song What If as the soundtrack to the Show Your Strength video because I feel it makes listeners question what they can do to change themselves and, in turn, help to change the world.”

Welcome party for Simple Plan in China

AUTHOR: Dominika | 6. January 2012 | 3 comments

After a long flight, all members of Simple Plan finally arrived to China yesterday, where they are kicking off their Asian tour with a concert in Beijing today. This tour is sort of a way to make it up to all the fans whose shows have been cancelled last summer because of Pierre’s medical condition. And even though their flight wasn’t as troubleless as they wished(the airlines managed to lose their baggage, and it looks like the only one whose suitcase didn’t get lost was Pierre, so Chuck naturally already managed to tell the world about whose underwear he is wearing today), the guys made is with a slight delay to their hotel at 9pm, where tons of Chinese fans greeted them with lots of cheer on their own welcome party, along with the singer Kelly Cha, who will be singing Jet Lag with Simple Plan later today.

During this party, Simple Plan were asked many questions, both from the fans and also from the reporters. And one of the most interesting information that the guys revelaed there is definitely the fact that the band wants to release their new DVD this year, as well as some sort of an EP, which the members described as “although not a complete album” but that the fans will love it just as much. Could this be a collection of unreleased tracks from the new album? What do you think?

Make sure to check out the gallery for the pictures from last night and below you can also watch a few videos from the party:
