欸欸~你知道維多利亞的祕密(Victoria’s Secret)嗎?
讓我來告訴你吧! σ`∀´)σ
Jax 本名 Jackie Miskanic
是第十四季 American Idol 歌唱比賽節目的第三名
在 Spout Podcast 的採訪中，Jax分享了創作 Victoria’s Secret 背後的故事
原來，這首歌是Jax寫給她照顧(babysit)的一位13歲國中女孩Chelsea
Chelsea常常跟Jax訴苦，說她的同學們總愛嘲笑她的身材
也因為頻繁的身材霸凌，讓Chelsea對自己的身材很沒有安全感
甚至有一次，在Jax接Chelsea從百貨公司回家的路上
Chelsea直接在車上嚎啕大哭 (☍﹏⁰)
原因是Chelsea跟朋友在Victoria’s Secret裡選要穿去泳池趴的比基尼時
朋友又嘲笑起了她的身材，說她這裡胖、那裡胖的
盛怒之下，Jax馬上回家寫下這首 Victoria’s Secret !!
下面第一個影片是 Jax召集眾人到Victoria’s Secret店前跳舞快閃(汗)
