M：美国有一个已经非常拥挤的流行文化景观，我们已经有泰勒斯威夫特，我们又有碧昂斯，蕾哈娜、布兰妮，我们更有麦当娜，请问你有什麽优点而能你在众多不同风格的歌手中鹤立鸡群?
G: That You have everyone, but you don't have G.E.M.
G：你们什么人都有，就是没有这块瑰宝(G.E.M.)。
I am Mitchell Sunderland, and this is broadly meets, we are here in Los Angeles and are about to meet with G.E.M., the biggest pop star in China. G.E.M. is the Taylor swift of China; she has performed over 30,000 people on one night in Beijing, and has services the face of Maybelline and Apple Music in China. This year billboard China has named her the artist of the year. She is new bringing her act to the America.
各位，我是Mitchell Sunderland，我现身在洛杉矶，而今期的「出位相聚」我们将会与G.E.M.会面。G.E.M.是现今中国最热门的流行歌手之一。她的肖像在中国是代表著美宝莲和苹果音乐等名牌商品及服务，在北京一个晚上她曾经为三万人表演。今年中国壁报牌电台Billboard Radio China 亦向她颁发了年度艺人的荣誉。而她现在要把她的音乐带到美国。
With the exception of Bruce Lee and Bai Ling, Chinese actors and musicians struggled to break out in America; much of the culture does not translate to American already situated pop market. G.E.M. believed she has an edge over other Asian stars. She recorded most of her songs to in Los Angeles since the start of her career. She's always been as influenced by Mariah Carey as she is influenced by mainland China.
除了李小龙及白灵之外，中国的演艺歌手均努力想在美国走出一条坦途。但他们自身的文化并不见得能溶入已经饱和了的美国流行文化市场。但G.E.M.则觉得她较其它亚洲歌手更有优势。自她出道以来，G.E.M.的所有歌曲均在洛杉矶灌录，除受到中国音乐的影响外，她亦同时明显地受到美国天后Mariah Carey等人的影响。
During her most recent visit to Calif, we met G.E.M. At her Runway Magazine photo shot which was taking place in a store that creates clothes for Beyoncé, we sat down to discuss her music, the differences between America and China, and her new film with Avril Lavigne.
她最近再次到访加利福尼亚州，我们在G.E.M.为Runway杂志拍摄硬照的场地—一个为碧昂斯创造服饰的商店裡採访她。我们坐下与她谈论她的音乐，中美在音乐上的分歧，及她与艾薇儿合作的新电影。

G: Ah, for me is a very big opportunity to learn and we collaborate with ah…Ashley Tisdale, ah…Avril Lavigne and the song was written by Practice from Fall out Boys, so everybody is great , I’ve always listen to their music and watch their movies, high school musical and…and stuff so it is very surreal for me to be able to work with them. And at the same time because I’m doing voiceover for Sleeping Beauty and the very first song that I wrote when I was 13 years old was actually called Sleeping Beauty, so it’s like everything come back together.
G：啊对我来说，这是一个的非常难得的学习机会，我能与...Ashley Tisdale，及...艾薇儿合唱，而歌曲是Fall out Boys的Patrick写的，每个人都是一流的。而我一直有听他们的歌曲，看他们的电影，他们那些高中生音乐剧......和其它。所以我能够与他们合作对我来说有点非常超现实的感觉。而且我同时为剧中的睡公主配音，加上在我十三岁那年我写的第一首歌也叫睡公主，所以就令我感到一切都在同一时间一起回到以前一样。

M：你在香港已经成名多年，对你来说，在2014和2015这两年进军中国大陆市场有多困难?

M: What is your plan for taking over America?
M：你计划如何赢取美国听众的支持?
G: For me coming to America has been an adventure…always, um…it’s very inspiring and very fun but at the same time you don’t know what is gonna to happen next, so for me I don’t…I don’t know what is going to happen, I don’t have a solid plan to take over anywhere, but I think the process is…is… much important to me.
G：去美国发展，对于我来说一直是一个冒险的经历，嗯...这既有趣又冒险的经历令我非常振奋。但与此同时，没人知道接著下来会发生什麽事，所以对我来说，我不知道...我不知道之后会有什麽事情发生，所以我并没有一个落实任何计划，去赢取任何地方的歌迷的支持 ，但我认为这个过程是...是... ...对我来说是比成绩更重要。

当晚，邓紫棋本人也在微博转发了这条消息，对此事她也非常惊讶，甚至高兴得都想要唱歌了。她写道：“入选2018年的BBC百大女性，太受宠若惊了！才刚从踏足NASA表演的美梦中醒过来，就告诉我这么一个好消息，11月是我的幸运月吧？此处应该唱：Enough Guys, its my time，这是女孩站起来的时代。Girls，ITS OUR TIME!!!!!!!!!”
正如邓紫棋所说，她前几天登上了美国的NASA颁奖礼，也是首位受邀的亚洲歌手和颁奖嘉宾，并演唱了歌曲《光年之外》。而前不久已故的“漫威之父”斯坦·李也曾以她为原型，打造一个超级女英雄。邓紫棋还曾被福布斯评为全球30岁以下最具潜力的音乐领袖之一，是唯一入选的亚洲歌手。
粉丝们得知消息后纷纷表示：“唯一入选的中国女歌手，邓紫棋太棒了！”、“优秀啊！我的紫棋！”、“是国际棋没错了~”
