the undisputed king of mandarin pop

You might probably have guessed, who I’m going to talk about.

Yes, its non other than Jay Chou! An idol I’m full of admiration for.

I was just recently inspired by an article written inside 8 days, two weeks back, which was featuring this mandopop king. :) This was what that sparked my sudden and intense admiration for him.

The article was perfectly written. It depicted all the reasons why we should love this fella.

Many would mention that they can’t understand what this man is singing since he mumbles too much. But hey, this is where the beauty of his incoherent singing lies in – this might be a reason why his music is loved, to some others. I admit when I was younger, I never admired him, at all, and this was one of the silly reasons I gave.

The author also mentioned something like “he aint no Wu Zun, but this just means that we love our man first and foremost for his musical genius”.

At this point of time, I’m filled with guilt. I was one of the shallow “heartthrob-worshipping” Chinese pop fan who goes around telling people “Fahrenheit/Wu Zun is my idol” – purely because they are good-looking!!

Other than that, this 31 years old guy over here is a real deal man! ‘He writes his own songs, directs his own music videos, and takes orders from no one..’. Talented, I would say!

Not forgetting, he can play the piano (and probably other instruments? I don’t know!) so well. I’m full of adoration for people who are good at piano, especially guys. They are impressive. Sadly, its because I myself can’t play the piano well.

Last but not least, this guy is a good guy. He’s super filial. Look at the songs he has written/sang over the years. I’m sure everyone knows how well-known Jay Chou is, as a filial son/grandson. :))

He had just had his first ever autograph session in Singapore today (strictly speaking its yesterday since its already past 12am). I’m sure it was a successful one because I’d heard of friends raving about the thousands of crowd that jammed the whole of Bugis Junction. Wished I was there! But I know I wouldn’t be able to stand the wait, and all the squeezing! HAHA!

One day, one day, I will be willing to spend the money to attend his concerts. So Jay Chou, wait for me, and please don’t retire so early! =))
