my mom mostly like jay's fast songs or songs with a bigggg strong beat like "long quan" and "ban shou ren". she thinks hes rather unattractive tho... :?

my dad is indifferent about the matter. :unsure:

My dad thinks he has a really bad voice but then again my dad's pretty old fashioned music wise. lol

My mom's indifferent.

My sis hated him at first but now she thinks he's really talented, just that he mumbles too much and his voice is so so.

I like everything about him ;D

hmm... my mother thinks he's pretty cool. she especially likes grandpa's tea. haha.

my brother... he says jay stinks.. :-(... but then again, my bro's totally korean-washed.

my dad... he doesn't really care

it's all good tho. jay's still cool to me!

"jay? jay who?"-my old man

Lol!

My dad doesn't really seem to care. My mom's an F4 fan *cringe* but since I listen to Jay all the time she's starting to like his songs too... I'm slowly trying to convert her hehe :shifty:

mah relatives in HK think Jay is talented but don't know why i love him so much. They too tell me he is not cute.. etc.

My dad... i dunno if he knows really who jay is. ^^;; My mom is cool with it though. She think he is really talented too and she even listened to him when I started! I had bought the 1st album when it came out.. and she said she really liked "hei se you mo" ^^

same here! my parents didnt really care bout jay until they heard hei se you mo... they think he has a good voice, n is very talented... but thats about all the interest they show... though, im kinda glad theyre not interested..
my dad is usually very scathing about the current batch of taiwanese and hk singers, as they mostly (in his opinion) don't have real talent as singers, and are in music not for creative pursuit but for money (which is mostly true). But he has a respect for jay since he writes his own songs, has actual "tin fun" (talent) in what he does and is motivated by creating music instead of cash.
my dad's really into the arts so i guess he stresses this importance since music is supposed to be an artform.

Most Chinese people tend to look down on the success of fellow chinese because of jealously. So, that's an excuse the older generation can use to explain why don't don't like an artist they don't know about (-_-III).

My mom likes him, she thinks he's talented. A lot of the people that say they dont like Jay because he's ugly are just superficial; the ones who say he has ugly hair just don't understand asian pop culture/fashion, and the ones who say that he mumbles too much and is incoherent may be people who don't have a strong command of the chinese language and use that as an excuse for not understanding his mumblings (aka my cousin.)

Besides, the people who say that he sucks because he mumbles... well.. I'm assuming they can understand every single lyric in every single rap song as well?

Both my rents are singers, so they both appreciate Jay's beautiful voice. :o
Mom thinks his falsettos are immpressive! :wink: And recently she's been complaining that she's being 'brainwashed' becos I keep playing his CD's over and over, full blast. Lol.... I think that that's just her way of admitting that she's "kinda, sorta, maybe" starting to like Jay... hahaha... She even watched the super sunday clip with me like, 5 times and commented that she liked how he wasn't 'fake' and superficial like many other celebrities. She oso thought that the way he gets really shy and hides under his cap is real sweet. :love: Don't we ALL think so?

My dad is really into music. He's got really good taste, nd not at all against popular styles, tho he usually listens to Beethoven and Elton John... *Criiinge* So it wasn't hard to get him to approve of Jay. I just put on 'Love Before Century' for him and he was already singing along... I know he admires Jay's talent of being able to compose nice songs, becos lately he's been urging me to compose my own songs... Lol. I juss laugh and say I would, if I had Jay's talent. I think that's it's not that easy, and sometimes you just have to be born with these kinds of things.

Hahaha... I'm lucky, I got cool rents.

he he bunny you're so lucky i wanna have singers parents too...
well at least parents that have appreciation for good music!!
the only music that appeal to them is the the ver very old one and news (for them news is thier music)

Well, neither of my parents can understand what he says... My mom has sat in my room for hours while I got her familiar with his music, so she's heard about every song... But not with the same giddy enthusiasm as mine... She likes him though, she thinks he's extremely good looking and has a soothing voice (hehe)...

My dad is ignorant to him music-wise, but knows who he is and what he looks like, since his face is all around the house... And 'cause I had to use his credit card to register the Jay web domain... He hardly knows me, though, so it's just another unhealthy obsession of mine that he'll never understand. =)

And my boyfriend hates Jay regardless. :love: But he's let up a bit after I sent him "Rooftop" for our anniversary!

12-21-2002, 06:32 AM
i think my parents know him from the several magazines but i think they were surprised when i bought his album and played it on day and night! i was watchin the one concert on vcd and my mom came in and was like, who is that? i said it was jay. jay who? zhou jie lun! oh, so that's how he looks like. then i told her he is way better thatn f4 and she was like, so why do you like f4? haha :lol: then my dad came in and acted all surprised when he saw jay he was also like who is that! and then later commented on how he was so indifferent from other artists. guess that's a compliment.

anyway, my dad never says he likes anything i like when it comes to music...i think he secretly appreciates jay's music..lol

my parents are probably surprised that i got into jay since i always like pretty boys...i've learned to look behind appearances with jay though! and into the talent! besides, he's not bad looking anyway

ah~~ i think all bfs are like that! they hate all singers/celebrities their gf likes... probably because they think that we love them more than we love them. ^^;;

12-21-2002, 06:52 PM
oh yeah... my parents like jay okay but they're always saying how most of the new singers cant sing as well as the ones from "back in the days".

12-22-2002, 05:15 AM
Yeah my parents like old timey music :geek:
And they always wonder why I listen to music I don't understand, so they don't understand my obsession with Jay and Ayumi Hamasaki. Neither do my other Asian friends, they're too Americanized I guess. Some think Ayumi is cool, but just becuase her music gets remixed into trancey stuff, but they don't like Jay at all, even after trying hard to convince them he's soooo awesome.... :cryb:

I dont usually play da musik around da house but dey prob hear it from my room since i do put it on quite loud..hehe...i usually keep musik n stuff to myself dont tell dem all about it, bcuz dey start annoying me, specially my bro will start teasing me so i jus keep it low... :oops:

my mom thinks his music is pretty nice, but she doesn't like his mumbling because she can't make out what he's singing....T_T

my dad on the other hand says he's alrite, but it's the family joke is to call him "sei Jay" because they all know I luvvvvvvvv him ^^;; but I just tell them nooooo he's not "sei Jay" he's "liang jiay Jay!" LOL i dunno if you guys can make out my crappy canto pinyin X___X

My mom likes Jay Chou now...because I made her listen to his songs over and over again. ^^;;; But I think...she doesn't like his faster songs. My dad listened to Tornado and said his music was making him sleepy. Then he listened to Dragon Fist, and said his music made him stay awake. Kekekeke~ But my mom actually bought me Jay's The One DVD, and both my parents watched it. So, I guess they must both like him~^^*

12-27-2002, 06:55 PM
haha my parents were watching the concert vcd w/ me too on christmas day. i think my mom liked long quan the best... my dad im not sure but he seemed kinda impressed. one thing my mom refuses to change her mind about is jay's look. she says hes not attractive at all, but she wouldnt say hes ugly either. well, for what its worth, i think hes pretty cute. :love:

12-28-2002, 09:29 PM
my mum know's heaps about jay.
mostly because she reads all these hong kong gossip magazines...
but about his music? she reckons he's got a lot more talent than all artists, cause he writes his own songs, and that he doesn't start off into the music industry like other new artists (ie, thru their looks, or buying their way into fame), that he actually worked hard to get to where he is right now.

i dunno what my dad thinks of him though... but he likes listening to his fast songs. :wink:


oh, and yeah, they both say the down side of jay is his mumbling...

i guess it's cause oldie songs, the lyrics have to be crisp and clear.

12-30-2002, 11:47 PM
haha..my mom always says that everyday, from morning to night she has to listen to jay songs. she said dat he mumbles, but some of his songs are good, like xing qing/star love.

me and my sis went to jay's LV concert, and when my mom found out dat jacky cheung's concert wuz all sold out, she wanted to go and hear jay! i thought that wuz pretti funni...

i dunno about my dad..but i think he thinks i listen to too much chinese music. he even told me to "make sure you still listen to english music." haha, funni funni.

My parents are the same way... Before my parents didn't like him too much because they could never understand what he was saying. My mother was a bit more open to it because she's used to the kind of music I listen to. My father calls this "the new style of music" as he doesn't even place it in the same category as other Chinese music. He seemed to think her style was similar to Sun Yanzi! What?! But he still had a certain level of respect for him because he wrote a song for his favorite singer, Zhang Hui (I like her too btw, probably the only here who does...).

But after they went with me to see him in Las Vegas, their level of respect has just skyrocketed. My mother loves his voice haha, though she still complains she could only understand one sentence during the whole concert, she says he has nice melodies and good voice control. My father thinks he quite talented, especially in today's flaky pop industry, and likes the easygoing songs he has.

I tried to get my parents to listen to some songs from the One concert VCD. They didn't seem too interested. They didn't mind the music. It's just that we're Vietnamese, so they had no idea what was going on, haha . . .

Izzy
01-06-2003, 06:54 AM
I don't think my parents like jay all that much since they're never really interested in the "new" music i listen to. actually...my dad doesn't even really know who jay is. when i was watching the concert on vcd, my dad came over and asked who he is. when i told him, he said he's never heard of him and then went away. as for my mom, when i told her about jay, she's like oh yea..him..i read about him in newspapers. that's as far as their interest goes. but when i showed them the clip of him playing the piano with li yundi, i think their interest grew since he was amazing in that clip. :clap: and as for my sister..she just roles her eyes whenever i talk about jay.

01-07-2003, 12:31 AM
my mom thinks jay is extremely cute but thinks it sounds like "ta zai` nian` jing".. while my dad complains 24-7 about how he can't understand a word jay says in his songs. he's just jealous =P

Stanlore
01-07-2003, 11:47 AM
My mom loves Jay as much as i do, at least with the slow songs. I remember when i asked my mom, "mom.. can i spend $800 to go to Las Vegas to see Jay Chou's concert?" she was like.. How many tickets can you get? Cuz i wanna go too ! !
At the end she did.. and she had just as good a time as i did.

01-07-2003, 05:44 PM
my mom didn't like him at first because he mumbles, but i made her go to the vegas concert and she said she had fun. she went from "i don't like him" to "he's...okay". but she's thinks he's a bit rough looking. she really likes f4, it's kinda gross

01-07-2003, 08:20 PM
my mother...well she never likes anything i listen to...only because she wants me to listen to viet music..ewww....

my dad however likes watching jays videos..hahaha
esp the short version of final battle..im trying to get the longer 20 min version of it...so he can see it...haha its harder on 56 K.....but yea...he supposedly likes the action in it

my sister says why mandarin..try cantonese..
the other one say....oh gosh everytime she hears him....
my other sister likes jays slow songs....
and my lil broo and newphew love the nun chucks songs....
and my nieces fall alseep to the instrumentals...

01-18-2003, 10:40 AM
hahahax...my mum always says he can't sing at all cos all she hears is his murmuring and his rap...duno rapping what also...but that's what unique bout him!!

i think she should just stick to her oldies i guess...but don worry...i'm slowly starting to brainwash her....i'll just keep blasting his songs on my hi-fi :D

~*Love Jay*~
01-18-2003, 11:53 AM
wellz................my parents think he's ok i guess.

they both think i've gone just a lil too crazy ova him............but they're cool with it!

my mum likes his song Go Back To The Past

dad reckons that Jay's realli talented and good with his songs

01-21-2003, 10:27 PM
wow it sounds like everyone has pretty cool parents haha. i let my dad read the lyrics to wei lian gu bao (willaims castle) and hten listen to it, and he thought jay was okay - good start. nothing he likes, but then i let him listen to hei se you mo and he thinks jay cant sing. they're more into the older generation where you sing like opera, with lots of air, loud...you know

my mom thinks hes bad influence b/c he raps haha. shes very bias, stubborn...she thinsk those who rap and dress kind of ghetto or soemthing are bad influence. so yea she doenst like me liking him so much, so i dont tell her that

my two older sisters dont really care...they think hes okay but arent in love. they only like some of his songs.

my younger sister hates him becuase i like him haha

Jo
01-21-2003, 10:50 PM
my mom and dad thinks that he sings horrible music that they can't understand

my cousin (she loves Vanness Wu) thinks that Jay's too ugly, and she says she doesn't listen to anyone with an ugly face (she said that Valen Hsu's ugly too...damn her ><)

my sisters think that Jay's music is pretty cool...but they think that he is not original enough and when i play Jay's songs on the piano, they tell me to stop admiring a guy singer that much because its gay (wutever...they used to like a lot of girl singers too)

01-21-2003, 11:34 PM
well my mum doesn't really like him i guess...
common reason: he mumbles...slurs his words...
i was watching his THE ONE Vcd last sun while she was takin her nap. when she came out from her rm, she said "so it's this guy singing! was wondering who cld be singing like that" :grit:

as for my dad...dun bother. he prob cant tell aaron kwok from leon lai... :whistle:

01-22-2003, 07:29 AM
boy im so glad u guys brought this topic up cuz ive been arguing a lot with my parents over jay as well! Its like being typical asians, they think he doesn't have a singer's voice, songs should be sung not mumbled, rap music ain't music, his hair's too long, etc. It totally annoys me, esp whe my dad imitates him, like he actually sings j's songs but in an awful awful voice and getting the lyrics all wrong jus to irritate me!! anyways, im so excited cuz im gonna be going to taiwan next mth! its kinda like a family trip, but im definitely gonna take off on my own and check out those basketball courts that jay apparently hangs out at.. =)

omigosh thats like my uncle, he was being so slack wen he saw the doll of jay and the picture of jay in that battle armour, he couldn't stop laffing. now everytime he sees me he's always like, "oooo jay jay omigosh jay" , obviously trying to imitate me except i dun do that!! :oops: but dun worry, i knoe he's very jealous becoz he's black and jay is very very white.

anyway my parents don't really bother me with wad i listen to.. they still like their own oldies.. though i think my mum kinda respects me for liking his talent.. thinking she has such a sensible daughter!! i think it's quite cool that some of ur parents actually like jay along with u guys.. though i think if it happened to me i would probably feel quite weird

this period in the Entertainment Industry is dominated by small eyed people...

Jay Chou

my parents are fine with him haha cuz my dad speaks hokkien and i was asking him how to sing his hokkien song..and always play his cds in the car they think his rap is cool..and the recent mtv asia awards performance was soooo good so they think he's good..
my aunt is amazed by his talent. haha

02-03-2003, 03:50 PM
My parents dun know how really crazy I am about Jay... so maybe they think they dun have to start worrying yet... haha... Meaning they dun openly show their likes or dislikes...
Then again, after realising that Nanchuk has some Hakka dialect in it, my Dad will just keep going 'zuo mak kai, zuo mak kai' at EVERY Jay song... whether it's a sentimental ballad or rap... I think it's kinda funny... probably a kind of acceptance in his own way.
My cousin-in-law was SO adversed to Jay, but after he watched my The One concert VCD yesterday... I think he's getting kinda impressed... hehheh, esp at the Long Quan flying part!
YES! Another one converted!

02-03-2003, 04:05 PM
my mum just thinks i'm crazy cos i spend so much money on him, but she's sort of okay with it.. it's my boyfriend that gets really annoyed when i get all crazy about jay...*sigh*
he also likes some of jay's music but he often doesn't want to admit it just because he doesn't want to agree with me

ShunJing
02-03-2003, 04:59 PM
You know my parents don't talk about him. In fact my mom likes his music. My dad likes to sing his slow songs, not fit for him. It's funny because when I watch his vids my 'rents just concentrate on the words. If the subtitles fly by too fast, they go, "What did he sing?" Hahah. Amusing . . .

babyxv
02-21-2003, 01:27 AM
it's the weirdest thing- when i listen to jay's songs, i focus mostly on the music itself.. when my parents listen, they focus on how he sings

vivien17
02-21-2003, 02:14 AM
yea i second that, its one major hang-up the older generation's got. they dont care if he wrote the songs, or if he wrote the lyrics, watever. if he's a singer, he better sing like one; and that basically means singing from the stomach, not the throat, something like that. like jacky cheung maybe? anything else is not considered singing. im glad our generation has progressed from that to accept more varied singing and musical styles n to appreciate music creativity as a v special talent.

02-21-2003, 02:20 AM
This is a really cool topic! My mom always say that she has no idea of what he is saying when he sings, but thinks that the lyrics of many of his songs are thoughtful. That's exactly why I love my mom!!!

My sister and I are both Jay's fans (she started it actually!).

Our parents are pretty cool about it. Probably because we are not teens anymore :p

They even tell us excitedly if his news appears in the papers or they spot him on tv. Dad even tapes it for us. That's pretty sweet :)

Oh, mum thinks he's ugly though. Was quite tempted to say, Dad's not exactly handsome, is he ?

i dun realli mention who i listen to with my parents. whenever i find a new artist, i go crazy about him/ her for lyk 2 + months and record everything into my mp3 player. i walk around w it 24/7. my friends kno when this happens. we always swap music and i usually end up listening to krn. they always end up listening to sum international singer (neva english- thats out for me).

its strange cuz i always persuade them to listen to it longer. they're NEVER interested. always goin back to krn (humph!). i dont understand why they wont try JAY CHOU. so pissed at them . they're brainwashed by KRN. lyk i am w/ jay chou :roll:

my mom seems to like him. she heard about him from my cousins and was very interested in his song "ba, wo hui lai le". she thought the lyrics were very unique. um, she also asked me if i wanted to go to the jay chou concert in las vegas as well as the F4 one. of course i said yes, but nothing happend...

Both my parents dislike jay. That's bcoz the couldn't catch the words in his songs. they also think that 'shuang jie gun' is too loud.( i love that song) My mom ask me why would i want to keep pictures of such an ugly person!!!!!! My bestfriend's father also hates 'shuang jie gun'. his first comment was "who's that shithead who sang this song"

I don't think my dad even knows who Jay is. My mom thinks he's okay at singing, but doesn't really like his mumbling. She also thinks he's really ugly. My brother is indifferent, but he still makes fun of Jay by saying he's ugly because he gets pleasure out of making fun of all my male idols.

Hee... that's really really funny!

My mom has started calling him nicknames she make up... things that sound similar to Jay Chou or Zhou Jie Lun... whatever corny thing she can link his name to! Like some kinda corny food or something :crazy:
Think she feels that this can establish some bonding or something with Jay... Heh... so that's acceptance I guess...

My Dad just said... 'Zhou Jie Lun bu ke yi chi fan de' (Jay cannot fill your stomach)...
Thing is... wo yao ai qing bu yao mian bao! (I want love not bread-literally)
Haha... have not told him that yet! hee :twisted:

it's pretty rare finding someone like jay in the asian music industries nowadays... it's always about the look.

my mum thinks he's really talented but does get annoyed when i play his songs 24/7 (who can resist not playing his songs?). and plus i have the piano scores for most of his songs which is really cool.
my bro is like stupid mando singers but i think he's jealous 'cos his gf is in luv wif jay chou as well

my dad has also totally changed his opinion of jay after seeing that jay got onto the cover of time magazine. however, he thought that it was the us time mag, so he was thinking that jay was well-known internationally, but i'll keep that image of jay in his mind... :twisted:

My mom did something real corny recently.
I usually put Jay's pic beside my bed when I go to sleep :roll: and keep the pic when I wake up in the morning, so nobody knows about it. That day it just slipped my mind and after looking at the little pic of Jay in the morning, I just left it lying on my bed.
I'm a real mess at home and such a pig I dun even make my own bed! So when my mom came came in to make my bed, she found the pic there.

She took the pic and pasted it on my room wall.
When I walked in, I saw this notice saying "Missing Person Notice, if found, please return to owner" and there below the notice was my Jay pic!
I wanted to faint!

But my mom loves Jay! She even has all his albums too. I bought one copy of each for myself and she insisted she gets a copy as well. We can't share Jay's albums cos I listen to them all the time, so she got mad when she couldn't listen to his music. So I bought her all his albums as well. Haha! :D

my daddy on the other hand supports me full way! haha i was in china and in this big like place where they sell electronic equipment like hps and comps and cams and i was looking at panasonic fones and i heard xing qing come on and i was laffing hard and telling my daddy i wanted the gd55! the next week while he was in hk he got it for my birthday! he also told his friend in hk to send me anything and everything related to jay chou [ie mags, cds, concert vcds, etc] to me in cali!

My mom knows I'm crazy about jay and once when I was watching some awards show waiting for him to perform she came over when she heard me screaming "he's here!!" then the first thing she said when she saw him was 'ta de bi zi hen gao ah?' she meant that he had a very high nose bridge or something WEIRD like that, but after I raved about how talented he was that he wrote his own songs and produced his own albums she's pretty won over already but she still doesn't listen to his songs.

Then at chinese new year, my auntie purposely bought these red packets with jay's picture printed on them to give my my red packet just cos she knows i'm so crazy over him... she was so sweet!

My parents reaction when they heard Jay's songs was "Why is this guy talking so fast like those black guys in your CDs?" he..he.. because I listen to a lot of rap like Eminem, Nelly, Tupac, etc But some of my friends and my parents actually think that my brother looks like Jay.

we all know how great jay is ryte? lol

hey then you're really lucky..very few parents i know actually think of jay as a role model. most just make comments about his looks and his singing(mumbling to them). they never really realise how musically inclined he actually is.

My brothers all like his music too =P

Dad - he doesn't really take much notice of him..probably doesn't even know who jay is! shocking huh?????? his excuse is 'music now is nothing compared to what it was like in the old days' (&lt;----yeh dad whatever!!!)

Mum - mmm doesn't like jay's music at all! (talk about complete MADNESS!!!!!! how can anyone not like jay's music is really beyond me!) a/s thinks jay is...ugly! :o *gulp*

Bro' - is a big fan like me! in fact, he says that jay is about the only male singer who he would actually admit to liking!

Hi to all,

Although Jay's music is really Diao, i tink it does cater to the younger crowd My Parents alwaes says tt Jay is just mumbling and can't understnad his music. Dun blame em though.

I am alwaes just saying tt it is Jay's very own uniquness.

My parents? Well... at first, my dad (when I forced him to listen to Jay) accepted it, because before I was listening to Eminem ("angry music") and bands like Linkin Park/NFG/Good Charlotte ("loud music"), and then later on he started to really enjoy it. My mom, on the other hand, immediately was like, "This sounds like Korean music! Why do you hate Korean music so much but like Chinese music?" and attempted to sing in Chinese but of course she can't because she's not Chinese so I kinda stopped playing him for her after that --" (she sounded really weird because she wasn't even saying the right things, just really random words)

My sister kept making fun of me for liking Jay Chou and was like, "You only like him because that one Chinese guy at your school that you have a crush on likes him" which wasn't the reason at all.. and she kept dissing him ("EWWW HE HAS THE LONGEST SIDEBURNS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!") but eventually I got her to admit that he was really good, and hot too, but after a while she started teasing me again and insulting Jay :-x

All my friends despise Jay Chou. Even my chinese friend, Tiffanie, said that he sounded like every other Chinese singer out there and that "I didn't know what its like when I said Jay Chou was different because I'm not Chinese." ::sigh:: It's only me and Tymon against the world...

But it's all good :love:

My mom somehow has a preference for all Tawainese artists just cuz she thinks they are not as fake or commercialized as Hong Kong ones, so she is happy that I like Jay! (I think she is happy just cuz I am learning Mandarin like crazy) hehe! And also the fact that Jay inspires me to practice more piano makes them happy too!
My dad thinks Jay is talented, cuz he loves musical instruments *he plays violin and piano. And when he knew Jay played piano with li yun di (spelling? )
he had a lot more respect for Jay!

let me tell u all somethin funny :angel:

like most of u , my parents never pay attention to jay. both me and my sis r addicted to jay....so I play jay's songs in my bedroom, she plays it in her bedroom (Both of us oso share a bathroom where we play Jay's fantasy album in the small Hi-Fi).....my parents get sick :? since they had to listen to Jay's voice everytime they give us gnite kiss each and everynite (sorry dad+mom :p )
They said Jay is no way handsome, no way cool, no way talented in singing....."he's mumbling....u know wat he sings? he sings like he has 100 chewing gums inside his mouth" poor jay...so I turn up adoring Jay without letting them know much .....

Guess watttttt.................suprisingly........my parents bought us lots and lots of Jay stuffs when they travel to HK and China.....Posters, Magazines, even Panasonic leaflets and pirated VCD wif Jay @ the cover.......seems like they learn a lot about Jay when they travel (guess so.... :roll: ).....they can even say jay is "A BIT DIAO"......wat de.....unbelievable........

anyway....thanks mom&dad.....we love u.....and Jay of coz :love: :love:

My mom, like most of u peoples mom, thinks he is not that handsome, but talented.. And my dad is indifferent on Jay Chou.. cux he doesnt really know much about him, but that i kept nagging my father to take me to Jay's LV concert...
I'm trying really hard to get my sister into Jay, but my sister is quite superficial wen it comes to singers.. but she thinks he sings good and all.. and as for my lil bro.. he's Americanized.. so no need to convince him..
o yea me.. i LOVE JAY~

I have really pulled my legs to get my parents to have comments about Jay. I showed both of them his The One in Concert VCD. I told them that this guys is the Little King of Asian Music and he's the pride of Chinese music. I told my dad that even other western musicians were amazed listening to his style of music. And after I gave my dad so many stories about Jay, and his comment was : "Oh...," I guess my dad just can't enjoy his music then he prefer to be silent.

My mom was quite different. When I told her about Jay, for being talented and very famous. That I really like him and his music, she smiled and said, "THIS GUY IS QUITE GOODLOOKING. HIS EYES LOOKED LIKE YOUR BOYFRIEND'S EYES. IS THAT WHY YOU LIKE HIM?"

My mom happens to love Jay Chou's music. The more she listens to him, the more she likes him. She also happens to think that the way he raps is crazy cool. *could love mom forever*

She already made a deal with me to go check out his concert next time he stops by Las Vegas. (We live in LA, but hey, I'm going to see him one way or another)

My parents are pretty supportive of me liking Jay. My mom even went to his concert with me. :) And she said she enjoyed his concert and I made her promise she'd go with me again the next time round. But she loves to irk me by syaing horrible things about Jay...she calls him the "mumbler" and says he has small eyes. Said he looked unhealthy and that she prefers Edison's (Chen) look. But beneath all the snide remarks, I think she's ok with me supporting him. :)

My dad...well, I guess he really is just neutral. When he knows that Jay is going to be on TV, he will inform me. And he refers to Jay as "Your Jielun"...so he usually tells me "Your Jielun will be on TV". heheh.

My parents like his music, but they find that he kind of mumbles a bit when singing. I guess its because he raps fast and tends to blur the words and it turns out sounding a bit lazy.

well my parent....i don't really know what they think of jay...but my mom always says that jay have small eyes and ugly lips, she also always says that he's like the black guys when she hears him rap....whenever jay is on a award show or anywhere my mom will just say she can't understand what he says.

my dad..i don't think he hate jay cause he still listen to jay's songs when i listen to it and when my mom ask who we're listening to my dad say "asia's young king of music...even bare a much higher title than jacky cheung" whenever we watched awards shows together my dad will say that jay take most of the award.

i think both of my parents just like their old musics......but i cool with it too everyone have their own taste of music.

2.MOM-nth much
3.Brother-Don't care 1

Actually my parents r "lao gu dong"(old fashioned) so they r not used to our era as in their era there's no such thing as RAP, R&B or hiphop.Haizzzzz poor parents......... :laughing: :D

Me dad thinks I'm just way too caught up in Jay. He actually kind of likes Jay's fast songs tho'.
And my mum...is indifferent.
But at the same time they don't really dislike him probably if I play more of Jay's songs for them on the stereo, they'd like him more.
My sis? She doesn't even understand why I even like chinese songs. But recently caught her listening to Jays music :laughing: She's like, what's that nice song...and hums out the tune then I'd say the name. She's slowly coming around :wink2: .

Arrgg, my parents don't really like Jay. My dad said he mumbles when he sings and he can't understand what he is singing. My mom said Jay looked depressed cuz whenever sees him. But it doesn't matter what my parents say, I would always like Jay's talent :love: And he got us fans here :)

My parents dunt understand why I listen to him because I dont understand a word of Mandarin, but I listen to him so much at home and in the car, I'm getting them into it (my little brother and sister are already fans because I play him so much). I even caught my mum humming the tune to An Jing and my dad tapping to nunchucks! So sooner or later our entire family will be Jay fans..hehe!

05-30-2003, 04:20 PM
My mum thinks that he's a talented lad with small eyes who can compose, produce and sing well. which is great. and my father thinks that...he's ok...just that what's he's saying is inaudible..generally alrite.

lol! those of u who have parents that support jay r soo lucky! i like FORCE mine to listen his cds n watch his mvs.

my mom - she thinks his slower songs are ok, and occasionaly sings along to them. when a fast one comes on shes like WHAT?! basically she thinks he is overrated n not that great. though she says his songs are unique n its cool how he plays piano n cello, n she thinks hes not bad looking. i think jay'll grow on her in time...

my dad - HUH??? jay who?? what language is that? he needs to pronounce more clearly. his music is "noisy"(cao si ren!)
then he goes on about how great the chinese oldies were....hes hopeless*

...well my mom...she always says things like..."oh christina aren't u sick of his voice..." im like..no...(cuz i listen to him 24/7 lol) ....and i turn it on pretty loud too...for my mom she thinks its noise pollution...and stuff....my mom thinks that hes okay looking..but not the most charming...but thats different from wut i think lol...and my mom thinks that i should stop hearing him cuz his pronounciation isn't clear...and it mite be bad influence for my chinese skills (i've been away from taiwan for a while)...for the song about the train in 8D where he sang in taiwanese...my mom heard it and was like...wtheck is that...im like...jay sining in taiwanese...shes like..i can barely understand him...but i think its fine..he has a fine voice lol..my dad doesn't really care lol...i have his pitures on my computer as well...and on pretty much every folder that can have a picture..my dad says nothing about it..so thats good :roll:

my parents like his music. I played a few songs for them and I am sorta a new fan to Jay lol but I'm really hooked now. I got my mom to like Linkin Park I think getting her to like Jay Chou will be a breeze lol. She already likes some of his songs same wiht my dad.

07-11-2003, 08:27 PM
My parents think that he's okay...one time my aunt came over and said that Jay looked ugly. I got so mad that she dissed my man like that I started yelling, "Oh yeh?! So what's it to you! You like frickin' F4 for god's sake!! He composes his own music, he writes his own melodies! Your F4 does none of that!" Sorry I know I am being so mean to the fans of F4, but at the time I was just reallly mad at her, and she's not one of my favorite aunts. She likes to criticize me and all that. I was so happy when I said that to her. I guess my parents are used to Jay now, because I play his songs too much. They like it that I'm in the spirit of listening to Chinese music, because that would help me talk more fluently in Chinese. They see me all the time on the computer looking at Jay, Jay, and more Jay stuff like downloads, new songs, wallpapers. I am crazy! Hahaha. :excited:

both of my parents hates jay, they say the way he raps is strange and he lyrics are either stranger, lol. They always tell me to turn off jay's music because I listen to them 24/7, lol , but personally I find his lyrics really meaningful and hope he would continue to produce such master pieces

ramen
07-22-2003, 06:34 AM
my mom admits he is very talented (always telling me i dont work hard enuff - jay works so hard to get to where he is blah blah) but she finds his music starting to sound alike. not to mention, my mom cant understand wut hes trying to sing most of the time.
funny, im starting to notice similarities in certain songs. (also i can plug in certain chorus lines into one of his other songs). also yeah, she thinks he's rather ugly.

jaysgirl
07-22-2003, 07:14 AM

funny how parents think and act alike! my mom and dad were pretty cool with him at first but this is the third jay-obsessed year and my mom's getting really annoyed by my constant yapping about him! i was literally in a daze for a week after one of his concerst. my parents r really tired of him! my mom : 'i feel like i know him really well!" :laughing:

07-26-2003, 01:39 AM

The mumbling turns them off I guess. I find it endearing XD

my parents knew about my obsession with jay, but they don't recognised him. yesterday while watching tv, van fan was interviewed on a program. suddenly my dad asked "is dat the chinese singer u like?". wen i said no he just shook his head and said, "they all look the same to me". :oops:

my mom...well.... she's didn't show any sign of disapproval about jay, coz his music sounds just like all the other r&b n hip hop music i listen too. but i think she don't like me spending too much time in the forum bcoz it's depriving me from my 8hrs of sleep :D

07-28-2003, 07:47 PM
:laughing: my parents don't know him that well but......they don't seem to like his music very much because....they don't really like listening to r&b/hip hop stuff. but i agree with JieLuNzz_86, because they didn't grow up listening to the kind of music that we do now. however, i really love his songs and his music. :happy:

08-20-2003, 07:30 AM
my mom says he's a bit oogly, but she says she hopes she wont after she actaully KNOWS jay. on the other hand, my dad thinks jay is not talented. i told him that he might not have the best voice, but his compositions and masterpeices are a katrillion times better then my dad's. he says yah sure. i think he's too arrogant about his voice. yes, my dad is a good singer, but he doesnt have to show it off everywhere.

08-20-2003, 10:13 PM

I was walking downstairs and they were flipping channels and Jay came up on one of them. He was singing and they just kepted on flipping hahahaha

I just rolled my eyes :)

my mom was ok with him at first..but thought he wasn't good looking :dry:
she also thought he is talented and still does, but lately she's really annoyed with him :? ..probably cuz of my non stop talking about him everyday..lol :)

my parents are ok with him though whenever i listen to him, they say "turn it down!" i suppose this is cos i listen so much and so they gt sick of it. my mum and sis dont like him, but my dad is ok. lucky, cos otherwise i wouldnt be able to listen to him so much.

polaris^^
09-22-2003, 11:19 AM
mm my mum doesnt like it, mainly because she says jay mumbles too much...and you can't really hear what hes singing. but that was a long time ago..

hehe but then i say alot of good things about him, like that article in time magazine and stuff ^^...wonder if her attitude has changed :wink2:

and my dad...haha he doesn't even know about him

both my parents were so fascinated by his "ba wo hui lai le" maybe because we're hokkiens.. yup my mother commented that she'll feel super proud to have a son like him when we were watching "e one" concert vcd. i think my parents thinks that he's quite okay la as an idol. i seldom like anybody so much u see... hehe...

09-23-2003, 03:24 PM
My mom thinks he's got substance and his music is unique, but after listening to Ye Hui Mei, she thinks he's getting repetitive, which is so not true. She thought "Ti Tian" (Track 10) is special though, which I totally agree with.

My father, on the other hand, thinks he's a flash-in-the-pan. Despite being a total nationalist and sharing Jielun's nationality, he seems totally unmoved by Jielun's Taiwanese-ess. Not that he should be, but yeah. Thus, he calls Jielun an idiot. Which is not true. But he thinks all popstars of today are idiots regardless of who they are and what they sing so I guess Jielun ain't exactly exclusive to that so-called title.

My folks don't really give me a hard time about liking Jielun, 'cause fact is, I like his music more than I like him, and the only Jielun merchandises I buy are his CDs. I don't even have a poster of him in my room (due to laziness to put any up). They just kinda think I'm crazy when I go off about him being my husband (which is, incidentally, true).

Also, my mom is trained in music so she definitely knows what she's talking about when she praised Jielun a while back. There's still a reluctancy to completely come out and admit he's talented though, but I think she thinks so lah. I mean his talent is so obvious... whoever denies it must be deaf. Seriously.

this is a really interesting topic... Let's see...
my mum... well she knows that I am head over heels over JAy... but she doesn't seem to have any opinion on that... she's pretty much the type who respects people's tastes...

Dad... well... all he knows of JAy is "that guy who sing the her her ha hi song ah..." (erm, you know that part of shuan jie gun) ... all cos the first time he stepped into the room with me playing MTV from his EP, it was shuang jie gun... and it stuck on forever... *lol* but recently I was listening ot YHM and he was like... not bad... who sang it? I went like Jay of cos... and I added that he wrote all the tunes, produced the album etc... he was impressed... still he's only into fei yu qing equivalents...

blue_blury
10-04-2003, 06:37 PM
my dad don't really like jy when he first saw him in the tv. he is quite unhappy when he saw all the posters in my room. he asked me why i admire a person who is not really good looking so much...
but, after i told him about his talent, he started to like some of his songs ex:xing qing, jian dan ai, dong feng po...see. my dad is cool .
my mom dun hav much command about jay. but, she always ask me to watch the tv or listen to the radio if she spotted jay's on tv or his songs is play on radio. coz she knows how much i luv jay.
my parents are understaning. i got full freedom to choose my own idol.. haha..they r cool.

10-04-2003, 07:16 PM
My daddy doesn't like Jay coz he don't understand what jay is singing,and he doesn't understand why jay have so many supporters but he still will let me buy jay's cd.
My mummy doesn't listen to chinese song but when she saw jay in the tv,he said that he has a good feature but too bad his eyes spoil his look.
My brother hate jay till the core,he said jay is ugly and sucks.
Too bad,my family dunno how to appreciate Jay...sigh

10-04-2003, 08:49 PM
My dad and uncle said he doesnt sing well because he murmers and doesnt sing. I think they're totally wrong. My mom said hes ugly. My aunt says that he has small eyes and doesnt look too good. My cousin on the other hand, loves Jay like me, so we usually talk about him. My sister did liked Jay when we went to Hong Kong two years ago, but now she doesnt like him anymore. All of my relatives have different taste so.......... not all of them like Jay.

10-04-2003, 10:32 PM
Haha..my mom thinks he's ugly..I said he was mysterious-looking and she was like, he's just plain ugly >_< She only likes a couple of his song; I think 'Hui Dao Guo Qui' is her fave. My dad can't stand Jay at all. Oh well...to each his own I guess.

my parents don't know i like jay. at least my dad doesn't. i think my mom suspects. but my dad, if he knew, would definitely not like jay. he thinks stefanie sun's singing is muffled, so imagine his reaction if he heard jay's...
my mom just doesn't like all singers as a whole, cos she wants me to concentrate on studying...

Jay's Luv
10-05-2003, 09:38 AM
Hmm....
well.....my parents didn't say anithing...they're kindda cool with it...
My dad dun usually interfere in whichever artist I like..

As for my mum...she's kindda not so conservative.....so able to talk with her
like frens....she actually sits and listens/watches Jay's songs and videos with me at times.....hee......Her only comments are...."His eyes are so small...handsome meh?"
and "What is he talking about?"( cuz he's always mumbling...hehe ).....

Hmm...the only thing that my mum can't stand is his hair in his previous album...
8th Dimension....you know that re-bonded straight hair?....where the fringe covers
his eyes .... and 2 long hair at his both sides?....my mum kept saying" See his hair
lidat, I have the urge to sweep his fringe up and away from his eyes....."...haha...
she says that it's kindda irritating to have fringe covering a guy's eyes ( eg: the hairstyle in my avatar ) ....that sorta thing....hehe...But I like that hairstyle though.....hehe....

Hmm.....she kindda likes the hairstyle that Jay had in Yi Fu Zhi Ming....and his current
hairstyle....My mum nvr compliments that Jay is handsome....until ystday...
when we were watching this Beijing concert 2002 VCD where Jay performed
with other artists....( including Wu Bai ) and I said that there are ppl who say that
Jay and Wu Bai look alike...that's when she said....."Jay more "shuai" " ( Jay more handsome )...haha.....the first time I heard her say that.....so happy! hee.....

regarding to this topic i just asked my mum who is down visiting me what she thinks of Jay. she said that he looks like the lazy and sleepy kind but he is actually a very talented guy. i was actually :laughing: when my mum said that comment. i remember she did comment that why for 8D he has that type of hair - covering his eyes, she was wondering wouldn't it be a bother :laughing: as for my dad, he doesn't really care much who i like and who i don't.

hmm..my parents dun exactly hate jay but they just cant understand the reason for me liking someone who mumble thru most of his songs..cuz my mom and aunt commented that they didnt really know what he was singing most of the times..tho my mom agreed that he was quite talented..composing his songs and playing all those musical instruments.. :)

oh as for me, its kinda like a sad case too, my dad doesnt care about artist i like so its ok, as for my mom, i dont know but mayb she didnt hav a good impression of him from the beginning, i dont know why, she just doesnt really like him, its bcoz of his songs, and his terrible way of mumbling, she kept saying, dont know what in the world he is singing, and she even says that, this kinda song also nice ah?? at first when i totally dont care about chinese songs, i dont care what she says, she can comment on any artist coz i dont know them and i m not interested also......but once in a while she reads about jay coz he wins awards and stuff, she says .dont know wat these young ppl are singing these days, then i also agree with her......i said , yup, dont like chinese singers singing r&b either. but later on.....when my friends influnce me to listen to jay's songs, i was intrigued........and somehow amaze at how versatile his styles can be, and despite his young age and his looks which i thought does not resembles a star.......yet he can be so successful, i start to admire him, thinking that he solely depends of his talents and hardwork.........then i start opposing my moms comments about jay, and we wont end up in good moods if arguing over jay, not that i wanna argue, but its just not true of what she says. so, now i avoid anything that has to do with jay when talking to her.
so nice that some of ur parents actually can see the talent in him and how he is different from other artist in some aspects like being honest and straightforward........

you all may be shocked... but my dad who got me JAy's ye hui mai's cd and vcd always complaining when i am listening and watching Jay all the time... he also thinks that he can sing beter than Jay... hahaha... what a laugh^_^!!! sometimes i do catch him moving his head or tapping his feet to the beat of Jay's songs... but he always denies it...

my mom she's ok with him but hse kinda gets fed up of my playing his music every day...

my sisters sometimes enjoy his music but they also get tired of me listening to it from time to time...

my granny... likes his music... which really shocked me too... *_*... but i was glad she saw the art in his music like i did!!! ^_^

by the way... none of us understand chinese,,, except me... only a very very very little though... i learn it bit by bit from my bf... ^_^ i am so happy though that i can get his translations right here...

Let`s say....
hm....how should I begin...
My mom...KNOWS I`m crazy about JAY!!!(who isn`t)
She likes the (Dad, I`m Back) song.....
She says it really something she understands....
Cause there was alot of that kind of situation in Taiwan back then....
As for my dad....haha....
His....just lost...he has no clue whatsoever....
He doesn`t mind listening to it...just you know...
doesn`t understand the LYRICS at all...since Jay`s style of rapping it...so unique...plus he doesn`t Articulate...is that how you spell it...but you know what I mean....

I hope nobody complains that I haven't done my homework before posting here. The thing is, I don't know what my parents think of Jay. My dad is no longer around... so I can't ask him anymore. It's not like we had a good relationship anyways. As for my mom, she's in Malaysia and I've been in the U.S. for more than 4 years now (haven't been home) so I haven't discussed music with my mom for a while. My mom normally accepts whoever I like though. She's a pretty cool and "modern" mom. But knowing her, she probably doesn't really accept rap music (she thinks that's not real singing) and she'll probably say that Jay's voice is too weak or "thin." She'll probably say that Jay isn't good looking either. However, I don't think she'll hate him or totally oppose to my liking him. Afterall, I'm 25 and I'm not spending her money on Jay's CDs and stuffs! I'm sure she'll like some of his slower songs. She knows how to appreciate good music. Afterall, she used to "force" both her children to learn to play piano/keyboard/organ for more than 10 years. :)

my dad doesn't really like him because of the way he sings his songs.. my dad think he doesnt speak/sing clearly, so it's just sound pollution... *sigh* so irritating!! they won't even listen to the whole song!! how can u make a judgement on tat??

Great question! My dad actually really disliked Jay at first. He thought he was too ugly. He would never buy me anything Jay related because he thought it was a waste of money. I finally made him listen to his songs and watch his MVs. He thinks Jay sings pretty well now and says his looks have improved. Now he buys me anything I want Jay related! I think he really likes Jay now because he keeps asking me if I have any new Jay clips for him to watch. He actually thinks he raps well. His favorite Jay songs are: Shuang Dao, East wind Breaks, and 3rd year 2nd Class. :laughing: Ha ha...I'm happy that he finally sees the Jay I see. :D

gracecherry
10-27-2003, 07:55 AM
hi kai lien! u are so great........u turn a person who dislikes jay into the opposite! my mom , is the same as most moms, doesnt see the point in jays songs, she doesnt know what he is singing, i dont blame her, coz i dont understand too especially when its new and i havent look at the liricks yet, but music need not only be appreciated with the lyricks, the melody itself matters most.......and also she sorta hates the way he talks , mummbles...but i dont think she hate jay as a person, just the way he talks. and also, the funny thing is........my grandma, seems to be able to appreciate jay more than my mom do.....that really impress me.......she says that jay is not bad, he is talented and she is impress that his albums sold millions ......well she is a granny who keeps very updated with entertaintment news...so she knows who is famous and whos not.

anyway i dont care, i listen to jays songs everyday.....and as long as i like i will still do the same thing, i dont care if my mom likes it or not, its not like she is the one listening, i m the one....

They don't like him! :cry: It's so annoying because whenever one of his MVs comes on they start dissing him. D: My mom thinks he's ugly and my dad really dislikes the R&B/hip-hop thing so it's kind of expected anyway. Bah!

surprisingly, they actually like them~! I think that's how most parents would be, because Jay wrote his songs not only for teenagers, but for people of all ages

My mum hates him! She thinks he is too snobbish because of the way he carries himself and speak on shows.
No matter how many times i tell her Jay just has that look on his face and he is a shy boy. She would just retort

'If he is shy, he won't enter the entertainment circle'

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............

My parents and my whole family don't like Jay. They say he's ugly, has a bad voice and nobody can understand what he's singing. :dry: My mom didn't like him at all, but now, it seems that she respects Jay's music. :happy: She doesn't say anything when i'm listening to his songs. Before, it was like: "how can you listen to his songs?, why do you like him? he's not even handsome, blablabla... :depresse: my dad doesn't really care if i like him or not, but he doesn't like when i replace his chinese songs for Jay's songs in the car hehe. :sweat: my sister cannot stand listening his voice. She says that besides he's ugly,his voice mades her sick, she's crazy!!! Jay has a sexy voice. :love: she said she'd prefer listening dad's songs rather than jay's songs. :dry:
Then, my cousins and uncles say that he is not a good singer, not even talented, but they admit he's very famous.

And my parents will go like "yerr.." :bigyuck: One thing that they'll always say is that Jay is nothing compared to Lee Hom :ill: Um....i think they dont really realise that i'm into one's music and not one's look.Lee Hom may be good looking...but his songs aren't really as good as Jay's. :oops: Oh..and one really funny thing is i know my mom likes Jay's An Jing becoz she always sings it when she's doing house chores (um..the lyrics are all wrong :wacko: )--hehe i was the one who influenced her by singing An Jing to her almost every day :brows: -- Howeverrrr...she just wouldn't admit she likes it.. :oops: And my dad..he really dislikes Jay coz he doesnt listen to Jay's songs...not even one. :cry:

ohh.. i was really disappointed with my dad.. haha.. because there is one time, i play Jay's MTV: "shuang jie gun" and "ren zhe" for my dad to watch.. because i felt there Jay can rap so good thus wanting to let my dad hear how good he is.. and also tell him he is my idol.. however.. i got negative remarks.. he said: what kind of music it is?.. cannot even hear what he is singing about!.. i was totally sad manz! :wacko: but i think they(parents) don't really have time for this(music) .. and maybe their generation is far to us..hee.. my mum don't really listen to music... keke.. so no remarks! =) anyway.. i really think my dad don't appreciate Jay's music manz! that's it! but as long as we appreciate and love it.. it is enough! :D

My mum is not bothered at what songs i choose to listen to except that she complains that i play his music tooooooo loud :-x but hey all music has to be played loud so that you can get the feel of the song.
