Britta Phillips Cameo Appearance in Jem & The Holograms Movie

The original singing voice of Jem, Britta Phillips, was asked on Twitter about whether she would be in the Jem movie and she responded that she would once she returned from her tour:
"Your" is likely a typo and she meant "Tour".

Britta has been touring with her husband, Dean Wareham, and they will be performing at Amoeba Records in Hollywood (the world's largest record store) on Thursday April 24th. Dean's tour continues on in May in Europe, so there seems to only be a short window for Britta to appear in the movie.

While fans were waiting for Jon Chu to call them last weekend about the fan auditions, Jon tweeted about talking to Britta back on March 28th:



No word yet if Jem's speaking voice, Samantha Newark, will also have a cameo appearance.  Samantha appeared last weekend at a comic convention in Texas and I'm sure a lot of fans asked her about it.

Britta has done far more on-camera work than Samantha (who is primarily a singer) and seems like a natural choice for an appearance in the Jem movie.   Not only was Britta the singing voice of Jem, but she was in the iconic 80s girl band movie Satisfaction with Julia Roberts:
