S.H.E. meets Sweetbox

Who's the genius behind the girl bands?

While I was in China in 2005 I heard this awesome pop song called "Super Star" by a Taiwanese girl group called "S.H.E." (for Selina, Hebe, and Ella). Later, I found another song, "Chyna Girl" by a German group called "Sweetbox". When I say "they sound exactly the same", I don't mean "exactly the same" in the sense that they use the same riff or one is an artistic reinterpretation of the other. Whoever the creative genius is behind these two "bands" must have sold the same instant hit background music to both of them. All they did was sing along.

Take a listen and judge for yourself. (S.H.E. is stereo right; Sweetbox is stereo left).

According to Wikipedia, S.H.E. has covered many of Sweetbox's songs. Oddly enough, Sweetbox also made a song called "Superstar", but it is completely different from "Chyna Girl / Superstar". When S.H.E. covered it, they renamed it "Remember".
