Kimber Benton: Keyboards, backup vocals, lyrics.

Shana Elmsford: Bass guitar, backup vocals (former drummer).

Examples include: The Day the Music Died and The Bands Break Up. All of the band members are close friends, with Kimber Benton being Jem's sister, although the band has been separated a few times. The band has made much progress throughout the series, starting with their formation in the first episode, and would often reach the top of the charts. She can also project images around her, which she uses in many cases as a distraction if her cover is about to be blown or to protect herself and her friends from danger. These earrings have remote micro-projectors in them, allowing Jerrica to assume the persona of her alter ego, Jem. It’s a sentiment that will undoubtedly be shared by any adults forced to chaperone their kids to this desperately cynical exercise.The band derives its name from the main concept of the show, which are the holographic images projected from Synergy, a supercomputer built by Jerrica's father, via her earrings. “Shut up, you stupid kids, I’m trying to sleep,” shouts an angry homeless woman. In one scene Jerrica - or Jem, whatever - and her sisters spontaneously break into song in the middle of the night underneath the Santa Monica Pier (don’t ask).

(Note to Fallon: Johnny Carson was cool because he didn’t gush about everything, and he didn’t take easy money to appear in bad movies.) The film features cameo appearances by Dwayne Johnson, Chris Pratt and Jimmy Fallon, all professing to adore Jem. Director Chu clearly knows something about this, having directed a couple of the Step Up films and not one but two Justin Bieber documentary features. The several concert sequences are equally histrionic, although the generic pop music performed all too realistically reflects the manufactured quality of much of what’s on the charts these days. Geared to today’s youth who don’t believe they exist unless they express their most banal feelings in front of a camera, the film features endless snippets of tweens and teens tearfully testifying about how much Jem and the Holograms mean to them. But in just an instant - well, it seems like eons - she sees the light and with the help of Rio manages to right her wrongs and, yes, become a big music star without having to compromise. To prevent her family from being dispossessed from their home, Jerrica reluctantly signs Erica’s proffered solo artist contract, which just as well could have been delivered by the devil, and drops her sisters from the band.

Through plot machinations too tiresome to relate, it becomes an adorable robot named “Synergy” whose role in the story is mainly to make childlike noises. Jerrica, now known by her stage name Jem, has brought with her a small mechanical device created by her beloved dead father. Showing up at Jerrica’s home with underling in tow, Erica tells her and her sisters to “forget all that dismal mediocrity you grew up in.” She transports them to Los Angeles, puts them up in the company’s lavish mansion, and assigns their care to her hunky son Rio (Ryan Guzman, The Boy Next Door), who assigns them a curfew that they immediately break.

Naturally, it barely takes a day for the video to go viral, attracting the attention of Erica Raymond (Juliette Lewis, enjoyably chewing the scenery), the rapacious CEO of Starlight Music, whose skintight spandex pants and haughty manner immediately establishes her as no good. When Jerrica sings a soulful self-penned ballad in front of her cell phone camera - she claims to hate being filmed, but rarely misses the opportunity - Kimber surreptitiously uploads the performance to YouTube. Aubrey Peeples (ABC’s Nashville) plays the lead role of Jerrica, a sensitive teen who lives with her widowed mother (Molly Ringwald), younger sister Kimber (Stefanie Scott) and foster sisters Aja (Hayley Kyoko) and Shana (Aurora Perrineau) in a nondescript California town.
