:bleh:
hello...first of all...let me introduce myself here...i'm newbie...actually i've been registered in this site a few months ago...before the download section requires password to access, i'm a passive member....huh really enjoyed to download so many stuffs from there....but since it required password to access..i -want or not- have to be active here..because i love all the stuffs in download section....
ok..back to the topic...
formerly, i wasn't a jay's fan....i didn't even know about him...Because in Indonesia -where i lived- it was hard n rare to find out about Jay Chou..the media here prefered to talk bout F4,5566,n other oriental artists whose the series TV had been on TV here..i just heard bout him once in the media...it hadn't attracted me yet...
but bout six months ago..i started to like Jay Chou...because one of my college friend was a big fan of Jay... Wow i had just realized that Jay's songs were really cool and i liked them...he also got style..cool...
next i started to searching more things about Jay till I come here...wow great this is the most wonderful place to have almost complete stuffs about Jay...(until it required password...T.T)
I even made my college friend jealous..huhuhuh... he just asked me where the hell i got all the complete stuffs about Jay....:brows:
well....maybe this is my struggle to continue making my friend jealous..hehehehe...
ok..now it's time for all of u to explain how n why do u like Jay......yeah u!!! now..ok
:shock:
:wave:

Hi sa_o3x. Well, I fell for Jay was because after watching Intial-D. Before this movie, I know a couple of his songs are good but after watching him act in Initial-D. Maybe it was his style and his songs that made me fell for him :cloud9:..
Hm, jcnet shouldn't be a place to get downloads only. This is a place where we meet people around the world and get to know them ^^
But hey, enjoy your stay in JCNET aight.

Welcome to Jcnet, sa_o3x!
I've never really heard of Jay until my best friend kind of beg me to go to his first concert in Singapore. I can still remember me threatening to bash her up if the concert was not good since I paid quite an amount then. However, the next day, I've become a fan of Jay Chou and swept a copy of his albums in the CD store.
I guess I fell for Jay's live performance first then his music... haha.
Anyway, like cookie has mentioned, this place has lots of other interesting stuff going on besides downloads. So, hope you will stay here and enjoy here instead of just posting so that you can download.

Hi sa_o3x.. Welcome.. I fell in love with Jay after my friend forced me to watch his concert vcd that she had bought.. I watch and well.. Love at first sight.. lolz.. It's actually his style and his talent that attracted me. After that I went even crazier than her and bought every single one of his albums and stuff.. Got scolded for speding too much $$.. But it's worth it.. lolz

Haha, the reason why I like Jay (hey I'm not a newbie but I can respond, right? :P) is actually really a ridiculous reason XD;; You guys will not believe this.
Well, I had a writing/roleplayin game called Kabuki Arc. In any case, one of my characters/muses, Kazuki, "decided" that he liked Jay Chou. And because I wanted to understand what kind of music he liked, I went and got a whole bunch of Jay to listen to, and immediately got hooked.
And that was pretty much that.
Now is that ridiculous, or what?
Thank god for roleplay or I'd never have Jay. Rofl.

Why do I like Jay?
He is a talented musician, and he's willing to experiment and trail new styles of music. He also has a wacky sense of style
How do I like Jay?
How doth one love Jay? Shall I count them all? This almost feels like a how-do-you-prove-you-love-jay question...which I've never been asked, so, interesting take. I shall answer:
- I love Jay by buying his original albums, not just downloading them.
- I love jay by frequenting this site often, being a life-long member of the KJN foundation, and now contributing my time to modding the forum too.
- I love jay cos I have a MetersBonwe bag. No, not a bag from the store... not clothing from the store... just a plastic shopping bag, with Jay on it, that Leise got for me from China. HAHAHA

Hi....sa_o3x, I'm newbie here and came from Indonesia too!! ^^
'bout your question "why do I like Jay?" ---> it because his songs!! yup! because, when i heard his song called "Silence or An Jing" I'm starting to like him!!
"How do I like Jay?" ----> by buying all the Jay stuff!! haha... like magazine, posters n of course the important thing is his ORIGINAL album!! haha... i bought all his album or concert dvd in original one... really make me broke n my parents scold me because of that =.=" coz i'm not that kind of people who like to collects stuff like this... just because of Jay I began collecting all his stuff.... the funny things is... there's still one magazine that i bought a year ago but i haven't read it yet... why?! because, i cant read that magazine!! it's a chinese magazine.. i just can speak but my reading n writing is really sucks... that's why i never read the magazine.. it still cover nicely with the plastic... haha

Hi everyone. I'm newbies, ziyouderen from Japan.
I became Jay's fan becouse of my sister. She brought me to his first concert in Japan. She has been a huge fan of him since he released his second album.
I knew his songs but not much.
Before I checked his concert video, he made all of his fans smile:D
And I like a guy who can play the piano... it's really sexy! and his voice, too.
I don't know exactly what he sings(Lyrics) but The melody which touches my heart.
I really want him to do a concert in Japan again!!

Hi, sa_o3x! ^_^
Well I like Jay Chou, because he's cute, the song he composes are so nice, how he acts/dance/sings is so cool! <3
I first saw him in Initial D, and I just thought he was just a normal guy who got selected randomly from the rest of the people, but I found him cute and that he acts good. How he drives was very good too. Then one day my father was listening some songs Jay sang, and I heard it. I asked my father who was singing it, and then I went to search more about Jay Chou...^_^

08-15-2006, 11:44 AM
Hi everyone,
I think this question is very great, I have lots of reasons to like him. I liked him when I just listen Dragon Fist, it was great. He knows mixed all kinds of music together, he is written songs by himself, and finally he has a good lifestyle. I LOVE HIM VERY MUCH.
If somebody want to discuss this question with me, please contact with me by email: nhhthu@yahoo.com
I will be happy when I meet guys again at my email.

I think it happened when my friend bought me his second album. I had heard of Jay before then, but I never really listened to his songs. BUT THENNN... I heard An Jing and I was hooked. I love the lyrics to his songs and the fact that he plays piano ::sighs romantically::
The pictures of his in his album never hurt too :shifty:

Hi there! I'm also new and I'm also an Indonesian.
I first heard Jay's song a few years ago. I was watching MTV Chinese when I heard this cool song. Later I found out that the singer's Jay Chou. Then I started collecting his CDs. I think that he's not only a great singer, but also an outstanding composer and performer. and after Initial D, I also realized that he's a good actor as well.

At first I didnt like Jay... I always thought he was just some overrated singer who couldnt sing or drift but alot of my friends/family members liked him so I decided to listen to one of his songs then got hooked... I think Qing Tian was the first song I listened to. The lyrics were awesome!! ^_^ Really liked the song, still my favorite one

Hi everyone. I'm new, from Vietnam. I know him because of my best friends. They admire him so much but actually, I don't care at first. But a few months later, after watching his MV and the clip that Jay played piano, I was impressed by his talent and his cool face(of course). And the more Jay's songs I 've heard, the more admiration I have for him. Jay's no.1!!!!!

Actually I started off with his 2nd album, Fantasy. And how did I notice him? Well, haha, one of my idols, Vivian Hsu "introduced" him to me... I was browsing through this chinese newspaper and Jay was at the back of it with the lyrics of Tornado. Then I saw that the lyrics was written by Vivian so I asked my friend if the song was nice... At that time, I seldom listen to chinese music so I knew nothing about the latest songs... So I bought Fantasy and as the saying goes "the rest was history"... And now here I am, still as crazy for Jay...

the fisrt time I heard his song was"dong feng bo", Iwas so suprised and impressive "cause this is the first time I can hear a song which has great combination between traditional chinese musicand R&B style , so cool ! when others singer can't do it .I bet that

08-22-2006, 10:22 PM
his music is just good i watched initial d but didnt know that he was also the singer of the songs untill i heard it from another asian friend of mine and as you can expect in holland we dont really have alot of asian music and eventhough i dont understand a word hes saying in his songs the melody and his voice are great to listen to makes me wish i was back in thailand again

I like Jay b/c he is a such a great composer. His sounds are far more unique than other artists. I like most of his songs even though I don't have a clue what he is saying, but language isn't that important. Besides that Jay seems like a very nice guy & he acts cute. lol.
I found out about Jay when I did further research about him after seeing his mv of Fearless.
I don't think Jay is that cute like other girls say!!! But I definietely appreciate his music. Maybe that's why i'm his fan...

I liked Jay Chou when I first sampled his album, Common Jasmine Flower(Qi Li Xiang). I heard some samples on iTUnes, and it didn't interest me. But when I went back to China and bought his cds, it sounded better. I like his music because his songs are easy-going. It took a while to get into his songs for me, but once I did, I enjoyed them.
I just started listening to Jay and haven't heard his first/debut releases. I'm hoping to get the 7th album in US. I hope it's good, because his newer cds doesn't sound as good as the old ones.
Some of my favorite songs are:
1. Lang Man Shou Ji
2. Yi Lu Xiang Bei
3. Ni ting De Dao
4. Jie Kou
5. Qing Tian
6. Qi Li Xiang
He has a rock/soft tempo, that blends well with his words.

Here in europe there isn't much information about asian artists..but once i looked in this old cd-shop and i found the special edition of jay chou's cd "Fantasy". My brother and i loved it as soon as we heard the cd. I really liked the song "simple love" ..even today i can't stop hearing it :roll:
and by the way...he's very cute too :angel:

i like jay chou because he is very talented ; able to play alot of instruments, write songs and sing very well. Very cool with his talking style, raps and how he commented about the paraprazzi. I started to like him since his first album. Lastly, i like his music style.
i bought all of his albums, try to understand the meaning of his lyrics, my comp is full of his pictures. I have my wall full of his posters. Look out for his news everytime.I will sing his songs everytime i go for ktv sessions lol.

I like Jay chou for many reasons... the first time I heard of him, he was rapping for one of jolin's songs I believe... Then I started looking for more of his songs and I got hooked. His voice is very smooth, soft and sad... and along with his face, it was just very wow, he gives off a very real impression
Along w/ that, he's very talented :D

08-24-2006, 07:01 AM
hmmm.. i like him for so many reason too actually :laughing:
i started to like him ever since of the released of his first album few years back. and ever since that day, he never cease to amaze me really. and basically i like almost everything about him.. as in his talents, songs, voice, style and him! just him. no one can ever replace him. he's special.. :-)

08-24-2006, 09:59 AM
his songs have its own unique feel - his jay style songs. he composes his own music which is so super cool and talented. what's more, vincent fang's lyrics are like so beautiful and meaningful making the song so poetic and different from others. what's more, some of his mvs have such a sad feel i feel so sad. oh man. all in all, he rocks. even his singing is like so full of emotions. i mean...he's just a music genius!!

about 3 years ago I was transferred to a private school in QingDao. Turns out a lot of the guys there liked Jay. I saw his posters at music stores and commercials on TV but I never really knew his name until I heard the guys talking about him.( I was in 4th graade when this happened) I kept thinking that Jay was this showoff and a wannabe cool guy, everytime I saw his picture I would say:"what a moron". Then the guys became my friends after a while, and they sang "Dragon Fist" in music class. I suddenly liked it because the beat was so Americanish and western. I then bought the "Eight Dimensions" album and listened to "Dragons Fist" non-stop. My chinese wasn't very good since I lived in America for half my life. Thats how it all began. I started to like Jay more and more. My cousin got Ye Hui Mei for me the day it came out. I listened to it nonstop. And aftfer my chinese improved I learned a couple of songs. The first song I learned was Sunny Day/qing tian. I fell in love with the western style of that song, it was so great to listen to, the lyrics were easy to learn too. I learned more and more songs. By now, I have every album, every EP, almost every book, all the live CD's, live DVD and VCD. I fell in love with collecting Jay's stuff. Jay really changed my life, He did something that no one else in this world could ever do to me. He made me like music. Thank You Jay. I think that Jay is the most talented artist ever. He can do it all, sing, dance, rap, write lyrics, compose, play basketball, sing with a womans voice. I can't believe I said those mean this about him. He truly id extrordinary.

Jay's nearly perfect XD!
i only liked him after i heard Qi Li Xiang and i used to get that hyper feeling when i listen to Jay and my friends used to criticise him and run away when i talk about him. i still love him but i guess i mellowed.
i like him because he's good, the music he composes is really to my taste, his voice is not the kind that i get bored after a while [i could listen to him for hours!]. thats not all of the reasons why i love Jay. it's just some that comes to mind now.
cant wait for still fantasy! yay!
I love Jay because of so many reasons.
I love his style of music, his sexy voice, and everything of him!!
PS. I do have MetersBonwe bag with Jay on it too because I just went to China last week! LOL

When I first started college, I was really homesick and lonely. I also had no clue that there was this other realm of music outside of what's heard in english. I met my best friend a few weeks after I started school and he introduced me to some of his favorite asian singers. Interested, I started browsing the net to see who else was out there. Jay was the first singer I clicked on and got a sample of his song, "Simple Love," and I was hooked. I began a downloading and buying frenzy that hasn't slowed down since 2003. :)

08-29-2006, 06:33 PM
The first song I ever heard from Jay was Ban Shou Ren, the beat of that song got me hooked and interested in the artist who created it, I guess the reason I like his music is because of his ability to compose a song with so many unique instruments and still sounds so right. With his songs, there are some i like right away, and there are some that grows on you, but in the end I pretty much like everything, even though i cant understand what he's saying.

08-29-2006, 06:58 PM
The 1st Jay song that I hear was "An Jing".. And then "Jian Dan Ai".. And then "Qing Tian".. And then I started to like his songs.. And then?? You guess.. :P :P

I heard about Jay in Year 2000, when his first Debut Single, Black Humor was swinging around the internet, my older cousins would sing his song, and I started listening to his songs, I was only 10 back then. Then I bought Jay, his debut album. And I listened to it for about a year, I lost the CD, so I was like dayum. About a year later after that, it was late 2002, and I saw Jay Chou's CD Fantasy, and Eight Dimensions in a Chinese Store, I bought em and I liked them very much. Yet again, I stopped listening to his songs and I was into Rap/Hip Hop, and on year 2004, I knew this thing called Downloading and I got a Program to Download Songs, I went to search on website about Jay Chou's songs, and I got this website, Jay-Chou.net, I downloaded all the songs from Kazaa, all the songs I knew from him, and some of his new songs and new albums, like Ye Hui Mei, Orange Jasmin. Since then, I listened to his songs non-stop, and yeah, it's sad but it's like been barely a month that I discovered that JCNET has forums, or else I'd register earlier!

Hi sa_o3x, it is a pleasure to meet you. One of my friends first introduced me to Jay's music when I went to Taiwan for a visit. And ever since then, I love all his music and will continue to buy his albums. Plus I must say his acting in Initial D was superb for his first major role.

Why do I like Jay Chou and how? Actually, I've only heard about Jay Chou before this summer. Because I'm also an F4 fan. And one day, I was listening to Dare for More, I just decided to listen to Jay Chou songs. So I did and I love them! ^_^
Jay and his songs are very diao so I like him that way! "Diao bu diao?"
I got into him in the year 2004, yeah im kinda late Lol I first heard the Gui Ji song and thought it was pretty cool so I decided to listen to more and that's how I became a Jay Chou fan since.

First song I heard was Si Mian Chu Ge, yeah, just a year ago. Really late into it. But after that I got hooked and listened to all his old stuff too. I like him because he's a great lyricist (or whatever that word is) and no matter what, I haven't been able to dislike ONE of his songs. They're all too catchy. Like most Cd's have three-four good songs and the rest are crap, just filler. But every single one of Jay's songs are good. None are just filler. :D

i know him for his song 'jian dan ai.' its NICE! hahas.
he's not handsome to me, but he's handsome among those ugly ones. (=
*no offence*
he's talented in music ( i love him playing de piano ) it makes me :drool: x)
and he's talented in composing music, especially in those love songs. :happy:
i like him being filial. how many artist have euu ppl see who puts their parents' name for one of their album? and to give all his sales of that album for their parents? ( mabe they did, but named after them for de album? ) xD
*oops did i sound fierce? =X*
anyway, I JUST LOVE HIM LAHS. lols. x)
hmmm. how do i like him?
support him? hahas. buy his albums always, no downloading. (= i watched his dvds on concerts too. im hoping that i will save enough money for his next coming concert in singapore. whee~
:thumbsup: THUMBSUP FOR HIS STILL FANTASY! CHEERS!

Hi, sa03x. Well good to hear you are in Indonesia, Since I am in that country too. I like Jay Chow for the first time after hearing his song, Jian Dan AI. Since that time, I try to searh his other's songs as well. AS the result, I found many of his songs that are good and easy-listen such as Long Quan Feng, Qi li Xiang, Fa Ru Xue, etc. I hope he will continue to release songs and go to Indonesia for concert. Viva Jay!

Hello there ^_^
First of all...Jay ROX XD
I like Jay for many reasons:
1. He's a GENIUS
2. He's multitalented...his music never gets old...there's always something new
3. He's a pro in playing the piano (how many pop artist actually received professional training?), and he would be teaching piano if he wasn't a pop artist now XD
4. His MVs are AWESOME - LOVE his directing
5. He is always improving himself
6. He doesn't try to let fame get into him
7. He's an ordinary guy that just became popular because of what lies in him and not how he looks
He's just unique and I truly appreciate his work as an artist.

i started liking him when a friend of mine (who happens to be a jay fanatic) dumped the first 3 cds of his on me to borrow. i think the first song i ever heard was yi fu zhi ming and i thought he was ok at first, but i kept on listening to his cds and i fell in love haha :happy: now i think im more of a jay fanatic then the friend who initially introduced me to him :D

i like him for his silence and reluctance to talk to the press, and how there's a bad boy behind that veneer. makes a girl want to get beneath that front to see what's there. also from interviews, he's revealed that he has a bit of a chauvinistic streak :shifty:
of course, also for his immense talent and creativity.

keke. i love Jay Chou! dunno... maybe it's because of his hat! (jkjk. but i read in a magazine that took a survey of why ppl liked jay chou and a lot of ppl said it was because of his hats!o_O) anyways, i like jay chou's rapping! (his new slowish songs aren't as good as his old ones but i love his new rapping songs). before i discovered lee hom and will pan and all these other artists, i listened to jay chou and dur... i live in the US so everyone listens to American music and rap (but i don't like American rap which is just weird meaningless stuff by black ppl. not that i have anything against black ppl...). yeah.
anyways, sorry for the long post, i'm JjieAlunYrox!!

I didnt give a damn about JAY when i heard about him in the past fr. my cousins. BUT then after my cousin dragged me to watch INITIAL D, i totally fell in love with him. HE LOOKED SO CUTE!! then, my craze stopped before i heard fa ru xue on the radio and i went crazy over him AGAIN!!!
then, i become a OFFICAL JAY FAN!!!
i love his songs!

I've been listening to him ever since he released his first album :) That was like, 6 years back? Hee hee... apparently I am growing old too. Anyways, here are the answers to your questions:
1) How I got to know abt Jay Chou
- My bf (back then he was still a friend) used to fetch me around in his car and he was playing the first Jay album. It was the song "Xing Qing" that got my attention :D then i checked out his other songs, and then he released "Fantasy" and I got hooked! And here I am, 6 years later...
2) Why I like Jay Chou/What I like about Jay Chou
- I like the fact that he has something a lot of other artistes today do not have - TALENT! :D His ease of playing numerous instruments amazes me and the way he incorporates various instrumental and musical elements into his various works adds a touch of uniqueness and individuality in his music. I love the meaning behind his lyrics and the way he sings the songs... almost heart-wrenching! hehe... :wink2:
I guess that's about it....
oh, no, one more thing... and it's forums like this that cultivated my interest in his music too :) Because without forums like this, I wouldn't know what he was singing (i can't understand mandarin)...
Cheers all~ :wave:

I actually heard about Jay along time ago, but didn't hear any of his songs until last year. Been away from the music/film industry in Asia since my sister moved away. She was my main source!! haha...
But anyhow so his first music that I heard Was the Chopin CD last November. I can't say I fell in love with the CD immediately. I liked a few songs. But the more I listened (it takes a while to understand what he's singing) the more I loved his music. So I went online to check out his lyrics, which made me love his music even more. The meaning of lots of songs were very true to the core. I think he is very talented and his ability to mix the western and eastern music is incredible. I've even fallen for his rap and fast music. Though I must say his slow ones are the ones that I enjoy far more.
And so I started to go online to look into more about him. How he's like and all, and thought that was pretty cool. That's the only thing I am sad about because I kind of liked that shy guy him that I was reading about. So, that would be sad if all the fame has changed him.
Then I heard when he sang the Jacky song in half canto and half mandarin and I could just fall in love with him. He just had such a nice voice. Of course, him singing that song can't compare to Jacky, but still it was nice.
Still, I did not know how he looked like. So I googled him to see his pictures. haha.. And heck I am not young. I've been gone and stopped being star crazy so long ago, but he brought me back. I hadn't looked up star information for .... at least 6 years. I had heard that he wasn't all that good looking, and some people totally just bagged on him. I can't say he is the hottest guy alive or anything, but he's pretty cute. At least, when he is clean cute. That face I can dream about.. hehe...
It's kind of funny that I am only starting to listen to him, since I could have had access to his music so long ago. But he was the one that brought me back into the world of Chinese music again. Everyone is talking about how his music is not as good, but I find the new ones just to be as good. Still Fantasy has western, eastern, and a feeling of Chinese music from back in the days. It's a nice twist to it.
I haven't seen him act or direct, but I guess I'll look into that soon. But I'd rather he stick with music. It took him so long to come out with Still Fantasy from last album. And I guess no matter how much he might be a great actor or director, I think I'd rather hear him sing so much more.
So now I am kind of Jay crazy! Dying to go to his concert. I know I might be missing some other reason that makes me love Jay, but I guess this is suffice for now.
Glad I finally join the forum!

Well, the first album from Jay Chou that i fully listened to was November's Chopin. Coincedentally i got it on my bday which was in November lol. Anyways, i started listening to it and to this date i still think that November's Chopin is one of the best compilations of music out there.
His style of music is just my type; slow, and the occasional rap. And when i saw him in concert, when he plays the piano and sings at the same time, that pose is awesome!!

Hi, i fell in love with him, ever since i heard his hit, Jian dan ai in the past... so far he's the only star that gives me the feeling that he's innocent and good even though so much of the media tries to write bad things about him. I love his acting and singing of course, and his so so so many talents... reallly impressed with him when i watched initial D and also his concerts... really sad i've never been personally to his concerts as i can't afford them, but the vcds are good enough... hopfullly when he drops by singapore next time i'll get to go see his concert.... His new album is no doubt awesome.... i really think he's the ultimate romantic-fell in love with the song he wrote: Bai se feng che...
And lastly, he's the cutest ever... the kind of guy that i'd fall for... one that doesn't need to speak much but when he speaks it carries weight.. full of suprises, cheekiness, lol... he gives me an impression that he;s not the kind that goes ard talking to every girl... which is like so rare nowadays...

i like jay because he is just so talented! i like his voice -- it's quite unique if you ask me, and he composes very well! although most of his lyrics are written by vincent fang he has some that he wrote that i love! ^O^ he can dance very well, and his MV's are getting much better-- even generally directs his own MVs now ~ so cool! he's just really great. and he can play the piano and other instruments. also, i have never heard him try to incorporate english into his songs which i find good, because from what i understand, his english is probably not fantastic and he doesn't need english for anyone to love and enjoy his music!

haha! i fell in love with jay after listening to the "Ban Dao Tie He" that Iron Box song. i loved "tornado" [which was my first song i heard of his] but i didn't know who he was at the time. then he came up again when i was watching this MTV type show that was playing top 10 most popular music...and Jay Chou's Iron Box was number one. then i started ta look up his music and all that, so i just fell even in more love with him.
what makes me like him so much is besides the fact that he's hot, he write's his own songs, has such talent with instruments, he makes his own music videos which extremely well done, just everything about it is so wonderful! each album never lets me down. they just get better and better. now he's going into acting, i can't wait to see his movies! ^o^ he's truely the king of Cpop. no compitition there.

yeah me too. i became a fan because i was so amazed by his talent. before i used to just like his songs, but i didn't think he was cute or anything. (though now i REALLY like his unkempt look with the goatee :happy: ) i read about him in Time or Newseek (forgot which), and i remember thinking 'wow, this guy is sooo talented'

10-25-2006, 09:56 AM
Why do i like Jay:
firstly he is different from other singers, he isnt boastful and he well mannered.
also i admire the fact that he can compose music, act and direct. he is willing to help fellow artist by writing them a song and supporting them through comments plus being special guest at concerts.
i never found out about Jay Chou, until a classmate started listening to him in class but still i didn't care, until i saw the movie Initial D. the song Piao Yi (Drifting)
got me into him and so i borrowed a album off him which was Fantasy, until this day i never returned the cd. just couldn't let go. eventually i paid $20 for it. $20 well spent! :D

Jay's music is the bomb!
Well, let's see...Simple Love, Love Before the Century, 1943, [Park] Fair, 7-Mile Scent, and such music are just classical collectibles that I've never gotten tired of listening over and over again. Of course, those are just some of my favorites. And please excuse my translation, I am just trying to make a point. Anyways, I hope to see him throwing a concert in the States. After watching his concert DVD's, I've got to be at least in one of his concerts. I just can't go back to Taiwan that freely, only if I could...

hehe..how I got hooked? hmm...a colleague passed me his Jasmine Orange CD (Qilixiang). I was never one to like Mando or even Canto Pop..the only ones I know were Andy, Aaron and Jacky..and even then I dont even know their songs. Well can I help it when I'm neither Chinese or Cantonese (I'm Malay/Indo btw..from Singapore and I dont speak Mandarin let alone Cantonese..yeah you go figure hahah).
But after that..the CD was on my desk, in my car and if my colleague hadnt wanted to leave the company..I would have kept it..hahah..Well suffice to say I got out to buy my own copy of that wonderful CD. Now..I've got all his CDs except Fantasy. Hahah..surprised? The CD that launched him..and I didnt have it? I dont know..never thought it was his strongest..I still thing Jasmine Orange was his best.
Oh..I forgot..you asked what is it about him that got me hooked rite? Its his music! It transcends languages, its soulful,meaningful and just lovely and it helps he's a whiz on the piano..ahhh..once he tinkers on those keys..I'm spellbound!
Jay rules!

Why I like Jay???
Because..._hihi_I don't know.
How I like him???
When I saw him in Chanel [V],in magazine,in his song,...warm my heart.!!!
when i was 15years old,i very sad.
then, began listening his music and felt like him so much.now,i can say:i love jay chou
hihi,its interesting.
are you vietnamese?I'm too
Both of your profiles are locating you from Vietnam. There's a bunch of vietnamese people in my town, but I do not find one to like Jay's music, yet.
Also, listening to his music is appreciative, but if you can understand his lyrics, it's what dwelling in the realm of heavens feels like. Although, on many of his songs, his pronunciations are very off, and at times, he's just "skiing" through the lyrics. The result is a humbled and genuine Godly creation of appreciative music. That's why I like his music so bad. But honestly, I do not think he looks that good, though he's getting better looking recently.

i first fell in love with jay because...of his talent in music, singing. His determination and inspiration in music motivated me. It warms my heart to see him put in his feelings into singing and into his lyrics and music. He's a true singer. That what makes him our Jay Chou, our idol, forever.

12-06-2006, 12:04 PM
simply put. he is just such a talented musician.
he wrote and sings his own songs, also amazingly talented with musical instruments. and that make him stands out from the normal-just-looking-good others out there.
btw, he is quite good looking as well :)

I agree, there aren't many artists who can do that in the Asian Music Industry. Most are just either good looking, had some reputation with other things, or simply can sing, but can't write music. Jay struggled in the beginning, but his first album debut rocketed him out the wazoo. I still listen to his first album nowadays, it's been so many years. Wow, no one ever done that to my tiring ears. Another artist worth mentioning is Hikaru Utada from Japan. She's also a talented artist who wrote her own song and sang them, also made record selling albums.

I really like him after watching November's Chopin ....he's very handsome and talent ...Otherwise,I love his voice so much!
I don't know if I like him or not, I'm now want to learn about him.
inlovewith.
12-24-2006, 02:46 AM
It all happened because of my lack of listening to Jay Chou's songs.
My mates and I went to the local karaoke box 2 days ago to do some singing and we realised that there was limited English songs available. So, one of them being a Jay's fan selected all his songs. The rest of them couldnt read chinese for their lives and I could.
But during then I have not heard of a single Jay song despite him being so darn popular around here, so i had to listen to his first verse and chorus to familiarize with the melody before my weak attempt to sing. (and my mate keep giving me the incredulous you-dunno-jay-songs look) That was when love struck. :shy: Singing along, I realised that he actually has incredible songwriting talents and a great singing voice. and I kept asking around about him from my mates and they were all, "OMG you actually dunno [insert any Jay's song]?"
as a new fan, I'll been singing his songs especially Jian Dan Ai (Simple Love) around the house till my bro got annoyed and I just bought Qi Li Xiang which is an awesomely awesome album btw.

I first discovered Jay's talents when I watched the movie 'Initial D'. I heard his music in the movie as well, and now I can't stop listening to it.
JellyAhKa
12-31-2006, 07:22 AM
Although I am a bit ashamed to say this, I never actually heard of him until a friend who gave me a few days ago the song " Fu Ru Xue ". After I heard it I fell in love with his voice. Now that I seen some of the posts around the forums I realized I never actually seen how he looks like. I'm not sure what he's saying since I can only understand English and Taglog but the melody and his voice really seems uh... Can't discribe it but it's a good thing honest.
-Why do I like Jay
His lovely voice and how his music always gets me in a good mood and I like rock music but it dosen't start blaring in my ears. It's smooth and clear.
-How do I like Jay
Well, I don't really know how to answer this question. Which I'm guessing is a bad thing? But I'll try anyways ~ Right now I'm trying to find his albums around where I live. Which isn't turning out very well which stinks for me. So far I got many of my friends to listen to his lovely songs, and they loved it. So I guess I'll be promoting and telling people about him. I'm not a hard-core fan but I'll try to do things to support him more other then telling my friends about him =)

Hi you other newbie! ^^
WHY: I like Jay for his expressions. He really touches my heart with is voice.
And I really cried when I watched his movie Initial D. Gosh, he's so pretty too!
HOW: By watching his movie. Then I searched for more info about him on internet.

01-18-2007, 06:33 AM
I fell in love with Jay ever since his songs, "Back To The Past" and other MV-He was so cute in his MV. That I couldnt stop watching it. Soon, I start to notice that I fell in love with him. I start to have a crush on him and then got obsessed with him. Now, all I can talk abotu is him. He drives me so crazy!!:wacko: But I love him...-huggies-:D
Well... I really like the pretty orchestral/piano openings in some of his songs.
At first I didn't like his music much at all, but then I met someone who really LOVED him... I guess I wanted to know what was so great about this "Jay Chou" my friend constantly rambled about, so I downloaded some songs of his. And the more I listened to him, the more I liked him.

01-20-2007, 05:12 AM
not understanding a word that comes out of jay chou's mouth just make him seem even more mysterious and goodlooking. i've serached for the english translations for some of his songs. he's great. there's no other word to describe the way he makes the words flow out of his mouth. how i found about him? oh my asian friend introduced me to asian dramas and songs and technically i'm south asian so i don't understand the language at all. but that doesn't mean i don't like the sound of the music in my ears. : )

01-20-2007, 09:37 AM
Like his arrangement on music, and the strong meaning of the lyrics
kathy_ta
01-20-2007, 10:04 AM
so there are many reasons why I love Jay:
-he looks cool and handsome.Well appearance will attract girls
-He can sings very well....marverlously I think.Although not many people can understand bcoz it's chinese, Istill love his songs.You can search for his lyrics and understand easily
_he is such a talented man.He has talents for mucsic and acting, as well as shooting films
haha in a word Jay is PERFECT
I hope to see him actually one day...I love him so so so much
(do u believe that my bf just resembles Jay...Yeah they look the same!And my bf's father is Chinese, that why his family name is the same as Jay..is it Chu in Chinese rite) haha they have many things in common
oh I forget about how I like Jay!
-Uhm first I try to find the forum about Jay, and it's here^^
I also have been fiding his fans in my country but I think there isn't
I also try to find as many people as possible who are also fall in love with Jay like me.
and I want to possess all of his albums...well unfortunately I fell into him quite late, and I cant have enough
and now I'm waiting for his fimls to release.Yeah

Yep...I have been in love with our talented Jay Chou since the day I listened to the song Ye Qu(quite late isn't it).i was really impressed by his voice, and started to find more of his songs.My love for him also increased when I saw the film Initial D.And his cute manly face and sexy muscular body too!
How: When always try to update the news to know what he has been doing recently.Listen to his songs and even try to play some with my piano.Watch his films, buy his albums,etc...Always admire him , and know that he is a talented and admirable singer, that he is worth being loved...

There are a lot of reasons why I like Jay Chou. The main thing is that he writes/composes his own songs. I really like when a musician does that him/herself. He also has nice vocals and is extremely talented music wise. He can also sing with a lot of emotion to where it just makes you go 'wow'.-- and love him more. He also is open to starting new things, like acting. Even though some people says his acting sucks, I still think that he was pretty good. I decided to get Initial D and Curse of the Golden Flower because of him. =].
I was introduced to Jay's music by a friend. I originally never listened to anything other than songs that were sung in english, but when I heard Jay's voice, I became a fan imediately. When I became a Jay fan, I became more open to other languages and I listened to other artists and I have to say, I'm hooked on mandopop right now!

Jay Chou really caught my attention in his movie, "Curse of the Golden Dragon". While I was beside a guy I dated then, I was looking curiously and adoringly at Jay Chou. After, I started researching for his name and everything about him
Of course, I like him because he is truly drop-dead georgous! His stunts in the movie (Curse...) was artistically done. Then I learned of his music. His songs fill my MP3 (and nothing else!). We are born on the same year and he is a Capricorn (which is compatible with a Taurean) and I can say, I love dreaming about Jay Chou!
Who wouldn't be, anyway?

i started liking him after my cousin introduced me to him =] she was really obsessed and owns like, all his albums. then when i watched initial D, i was like '<3'

06-04-2007, 04:55 PM
hmm...his songs are really great....you know... some singers have their hits song in one album and only that one song is really nice and others is just so-so... but jay's i love the whole songs! one day, my little brother played his album ( 8 demension, i won;t forget it:p) while he was playing warcraft... since he has that album only....so it played for many times.... and i was in the room of course since i sleep with my brother... first impression...those are really nice song...so i ask my brother,... who sing those songs.... then he said he's jay chow... since that i always look for his songs...ask for my friends, cousin...hehehe.... i want to buy his album but it is quite expensive... so usually i just borrow it from my friend..

I started liking Jay Chou, while watching "Curse of the Golden Flower". I appreciated his interpretation of the Prince Jai, character. Before that, I have heard about him but was not very interested. Thus, the spark of interest led me to research about him and his music. Much to my surprise, I actually like his music, even if I dont understand Mandarin. Right now, I'm actually hook with his music and with him.

The things that made me fall for Jay was

INITAI-D, CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER, SECRET, his mvs, his songs! it just seems that from then on, everything about him is so perfect!

07-19-2007, 05:44 AM
I've known about him for a while. I first heard about him while looking up stuff for Vanness Wu and Ken Chu...I never bothered to listen to him though (-_-) because I wasnt really interested in expanding my Asian artist fandom. Then suddenly, I decided to see what the big fuss was about and fell in love. The end.

07-19-2007, 05:52 AM
welcome welcome! hehe
Why I love Jay...there's only so many reasons lol. For starters, he's multi-talented which is just so aspiring to me, and his lyrics are very poetic which sets him apart from today's popular artists I believe and the mood he creates makes me feel like whenever I listen I can escape to another world. lol those are my reasons so far ^^

Jay Chou has not only the quality to sing or to play piano, he can also play other instruments. He makes music, he writes music and since his song fa ru xue, he made his own mv's. Also, he can also direct a movie and he also became an actor. Briefly, he is a talented/all around man:D
He defitinely influenced the chinese r&b and hip hop from traditional to traditional/modern music^^

Hi!!
:) I fell in love with Jay and his music probably 8 years ago when he released his first album. Personally it's not his appearance that grasped my heart but his songs, the lyrics, they're were(and still is) just amazing and heartrending.
I was very impressed by the fact that he writes most/if not all of his own lyrics.
I'm going to his concert in Mohegan Sun this December, so if i'm lucky ( this is only a fan's fantasy) but if i'm really lucky maybe i'll get a chance to talk to him.....ha that i would *die* for, but if that chance comes I'd love to talk to him about his music and aspirations....hmm if there isn't a thread on 'if you ever were to meet Jay what would you talk to him abou?' maybe i'll make one :)

Jay is so famous(!!!), so naturally you get to hear his music everywhere. That's how I got to know his music and fell in love with him.

11-25-2008, 12:15 PM
the first song i heard for jay was qi li xiang.. and the first movie was initial D. i wasnt a fan or anything.. soon later on i learned about the meaning of his songs and it touched it.. those slow songs.. im not a big fan of rap. an jing is one of the sadest songs ive heard. then i learned that the guy i like likes jay.. so anyone who likes someone will tend to litsen and do wat the person they like do. haha.. so i heard more and more and now i juz fell in love with him hahaha..
hope i didnt bore u with my story

12-01-2008, 05:38 PM
The first song I heard from Jay Chou was Jian Dan Ai. I happened to come across it on someones xanga =X After that I pretty much forgot about him until one day I was browsing around and came across Ye Qu....and well, from that day on, I was a fan <3 His compositions are amazing and so is his lyricist ^^ So, I've been a fan now for a small 5 years but a lovely 5 years they've been :D

12-02-2008, 05:10 AM
From all of the "Jay's tallent", what I like the most is the lyric of his songs
It is really deep and meaningfull.
I can't imagine how could he made his own song and wrote his own lyric. Was he ate tablatures and some poetry for his childhood breakfast?:p
If it was, I will force my brother's son to eat them for breakfast, so he can be like Jay when he grown up.lolz.

It is hard to describe because everything about him is appealing you can't help but be drawn by his good voice, shy and humble personality, his unbeatable talent and his genuine devotion to his fans and of course his mother and grandmother. So cute ^__^
