JJ lin beating Jay? What should we do?

[Jay luver]

i know for sure that a lot of you support Jay as well as JJ lin. but come on Don't you all wish jay be #1 still? The truth is, JJ Lin is beginning to beat Jay :rasp: ! So what do you think we should do :whistle: ? I'm not buying any JJ lin stuff anymore. I don't know. you guyz can if you want i guess...but to me, jay is still #1 and i will stay liking him forevah~ :bleh:

[ask4more_jay]

heyy~ i'm with ya there! No kidding. how come JJ lin is beating jay? jay is way~ better in my opinion (no offense to those who love JJ) but still. EVERYBODY knows jay! do you guyz think JJ is copying Jay? #1: Making his music sound out of pop music styles
#2: Jay Chou is :J He is JJ
Don't you think? personally, i think jay can beat him. all we have to do is some team work. if we ALL "boycott" JJ lin, then there we go! Jay is #1~~

[di`jay]

Errr. Personally, I do love Lin Junjie a hell lot. So I don't see any point in boycotting him or whatsoever. However, I'm very sure Jay will never be beaten by Junjie no matter what. Yea. Jay's secured his status at the r&b king already; no one can actually snatch that place away. Yup.
Junjie isn't copying Jay. He's different. Jay's music is ultra r&b and he has songs like "Wo De Di Pan, Long Quan" that Junjie will never write because the style's different from his own. Junjie's music still has a slight pop flavour to it. And Junjie doesn't rap. Jay does. Yea.
Junjie had no choice but to change his name to JJ. It wasn't his choice. His real name is Wayne, but his record company wanted to change his name to JJ because they were afraid that his fans in China wouldn't know how to pronounce Wayne. Lol yup.
So. Err. I'm not criticising you guys or anything; don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that we don't have to do anything to make sure Junjie doesn't beat Jay because there's no way Junjie can beat Jay. Junjie could win more awards than Jay in the awards ceremony in China because he's new to the scene; his music style is still fresh and different to many ears. Jay's music is familiar to everyone's ears already. It's probably because of that reason that's why Junjie won more awards than Jay. Actually to come think of it, Jay was the same as Junjie last time. He won so many awards for his Fantasy album because he was still new to the scene then. Haha. So. I conclude that even as Junjie might gather more fans over the coming years, he will never beat Jay. Yeaa. We don't have to do boycott him laaa. Lol. :-)

[linny]

Why would you want to boycott JJ? He makes good music. ^^; I think as long as Jay is still number 1 in your own mind, then it's nothing to worry about. No matter how many awards one person wins over the other, if you believe Jay can't be beat, then he can't.

The two have different styles anyway. Maybe they're being pitted against each other because they're in the same general genre, but in my mind, they're still very different artists with different musical styles. So, I'm not too worried. I'll always like Jay a little more anyway. XD

[noravee]

yeah!!me too^^ so i love Jay and support him forever, i have no idea about JJ lin bcoz i think Jay's song are great!! he's number one for me,ok and he's soft and smooth voice is esspecially soothing and serene, different style, and skillfully, Jay used his voice to suit each song's character i dont care JJ lin i think that all their fans listening once won't make them know "it's Jay"...well i think Jay is very good much more JJ lin....that i think

[Katie23]

:shy: Shame on me, still don't know who JJ Lin is... :shy:

I guess, if JJ lin is beginning to beat Jay, he must be very good, so I don't think jay fans who like his music should stop listening to it. I haven't heard any of his works yet, so can't decide...though I can't imagine anyone better than Jay (guess you thought that too, untill JJ Lin) I think I wouldn't mind Jay being number two, such a competition would inspire Jay to make more good music and having someone else making good music won't hurt. But I think I have to find some JJ lin music...maybe I don't like his style at all (secretly hope so, haha)

[Nikky]

There is allowed to more than one pop artist. Granted I have never heard of JJ before & d/k his music, but if he has the talent to obviously beat Jay, & Jay has a natural wonderful talent for music, maybe JJ is good too. Maybe he has the love & talent Jay has. Maybe now Jay can become even more wonderful than we already know he is. But u can't be mad bcuz another person has a love & talent for music.

[taiwanguonanhai]

I think its a bit ridiculous how you guys are so worried about JJ taking over Jay's position.

A boycott? That's a bit extreme....JJ is a very good singer and song writer, and in spite of the fact that he surpassed Jay in an awards thing, I think Jay still likes everyone to support music no matter who's it is. SUre we would like to say Jay at the top, and I'm sure that now that Jay knows that JJ really can be a good competition for him, he will up his game.

So cmon...support the artists no matter who they are....we all like Jay a lot but does that mean we can't accept other artists who are considered on the same playing field?

And besides....Jay has already a huge following in TW pop and can probably be considered a mega-star to the like of Teresa Teng or something like that in a decade or two. I don't think that anyone will ever replace Jay.

[phoebe]

i adore jay's music and until now no one can replace him . i like some of jj's songs too . i also like many other artistes . i am AGAINST BOYCOTT of artistes or anything or anybody UNLESS that thing or person is harmful to others - eg . person making racist or degartory remarks and things that are harmful to humans and the enviroment . SHOW YOUR SUPPORT TO YOUR FAV ARTISTE BY BUYING ORIGINAL ( if you have the means ) . let the world be more interesting and boutiful with variety of music - some could be mediore , some awesome ,some even plain silly but like the world is peopled by genius , the average guy and mentally / physically challenged -type , we are all here to make this earth interesting .

[wackycashew]

#1: Making his music sound out of pop music styles
#2: Jay Chou is :J He is JJ
#1: a lot of artists have the pop / R&B sound. just cuz someone has this style does not insinuate that he/she is copying jay.
#2: JJ is lin jun jie's NAME. how can that be considered copying? :dunce:

jay.rox: thanks for the background info on JJ regarding his name. :happy:

i think people are way over-reacting over this. it's just one award ceremony. it's not as if jay is being replaced by JJ. far from it, as a matter of fact. and whether you like it or not, jay's not gonna be #1 at every single award ceremony all the time. to think that simply shows ignorance. healthy competition paves the way for better music-making. would you boycott ALL artists and only support jay now and forever? it doesn't make sense... and i doubt jay would want that to happen. there are many talented artists out there. JJ is only one of them (as is jay). we can appreciate more than one talented artist, right? there's no need for tunnel vision. anyway, i'm not "worried" about this at all. good music and talent should be appreciated. that applies to jay; that applies to others.

[weemalyn]

i think jj is quite talented also, his songs are nice, I had two albums of his, we can still continue to support him. We should support good music and don't fret over an award. I seriously don't think he is able to take over Jay's position, Jay will still be the best

[13abygirl]

omq r u serious? how can jj lin be beatin jay chou!?! >.< jay chou is 4ever #1! seriously, even though like jj has skillz, i think hes like popular because pppl claim that he's another jay chou. but hes not! & tats just mean 2 boycott jjs music just cuz hes "beatin" jay... he doesnt desrve that, besides hes just trying to make a living

[ankh]

I've got nothing against JJ cos he is a talented artiste, his style is different compared to Jay so that ain't called copying.

And besides, no one is able to reign supreme in the music industry forever. I'm not saying that Jay would henceforth lose his position but competition is a good thing as it would allow him to improve. Just like when he lost out in Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, didn't he return with a vengeance?

So, no point boycotting JJ. That's my opinion, to each his own. But doing so may result you in missing out on some good music.

[bethie_me]

What should we do? What CAN we do? I think it's just the nature of things. It's just that one award and it's not like the world will end if Jay is not always number one. Jay already proved his greatness to us and I think it's good that other people get a chance in the spotlight too. If we keep on buying Jay's stuff and stop support JJ, I think that's kinda stupid. I really don't care if JJ beats Jay.

Anyway, JJ really deserved the award :D even though I still strongly prefer Jay's music over JJ's. I think JJ proved his talent like Jay did so it's not that bad.

[quadshock]

boycotting will not accomplish anything...If you bought JJ's stuff in the beginning then you like his music. And nothing's going to change that. Why would you stop liking a certain artists' music simply because he swept so many awards? SHould he be punished for being recognized and talented? No. As fans, your number one goal is to support Jay Chou, and for a true fan, JC is #1 regardless of awards, sales, etc. Are you a true Jay fan?

[msv]

Gosh darnit it folks, NO YOU'RE NOT OVERREACTING!!!!!!!! They just don't understand us!!!!!!

Come on, everyone chip in 5 bucks so we can hire that Sniper I orignally hired to kill Andy Lau for causing Jay's concert problems! And PLEASE!!! Someone go to the local store to buy voice decaying poison so we can trick JJ and make him lose his voice so that our Jay, the God of Music and the Inventor of R&B and Pop and the owner of the letter "J" be ruler once again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIME DOES NOT AWAIT US!!!!! COME!!!!!!!

*faints*

[roche]

*sprinkles water to wake maisee up*

oh my god, it's such a disaster. but no worries, maisee - i'll contribute 10 bucks and live on instant noodles tomorrow.
http://webpost.net/ro/roche/jaychoubill.jpg

and i'm working on concocting that poison in the lab....
the part's that's done is in my siggie right now.

[msv]

OMG OMG OMG OMG *gulps in air*

Are you seeing what I'm seeing Roche???? Is that JJ stealing Jay's eyes??? And OH! *gasp* He just won the "I'm Jay Chou" Award!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*whimpers and pray for Roche's concotions*

[kasic_fantasy]

well theres nothing we can do but to continue to support jay right? :? ...its ok to be beaten down...but its not ok if jay starts to feel down too....so long as he is still confident bout his music,who cares who have beaten him?so long as we still like him,and his music keep us going....

compeition is a must in music industries....but no matter who the winner is,jay will always be our winner...what matter the most is him continue to work hard for music....

[jay_is_cute]

jay isn't the only one thats allowed to make good music. and if jj beat jay it must mean that he is making good music too. so if you appreciate jay for his good music, why cant you just appreciate jj for his good music too?

i personally prefer jay over jj but i can't say that i dont like jj either. however i dont think jj is necessarily beating jay. its not like a person can only support one person where we have to choose between jay and jj. and i dont see jay fans drifting over to become jj fans just because jj beat jay at the awards. it's really no big deal.

[jay_chou_]

I think some of us should be more reasonable... JJ and Jay fans should continue to support both artists because both artists are very talented, if you like listening to JJ then don't just stop buying his albums just because he beat Jay in getting some awards, I mean there are always other awards to win too. I don't think JJ is trying to copy Jay... the similarity in their names is just coincidence. Anyway, Jay is still going to be number one to us Jay fans so there's no need to worry right? It's a shame that Jay was beaten, but for those who like both artists be happy for JJ too because it's also a great achievement for him and Jay has won so many more anyway, but he can't always win no matter how much we want him to. It's not like Jay's music is going to die away just because he didn't win some awards... it just shows that JJ and Jay are great talented people. The fact that JJ beat Jay means that JJ was just slightly better this time around, but there are always going to be other times for Jay to strike back. So yeah, don't worry... Jay will still be number one, especially on these forums :happy:

[Vicluva]

OMG! JJ got four awards instead of Jay! The world's coming to an end! Get your shovels and dig deep holes so we can live underground and become hermits because the sun's cruel to still shine while JJ has those awards that should only have one 'J' carved on them! Somebody call Jay and tel him to spend the next thirty years with his head in a paper bag because those awards are the beginning of the end of Jay's career!
Out with money! In no time at all those ten dollar bills will have JJ's face on them instead Jay's sexy face, we should burn all those notes and resort to swapping sheep for vegetables for the rest of our lives because a world where Jay doesn't get everything is WRONG!
Honestly,
:rolleyes:

[gracecherry]

oh gosh, all these r going too far, but, i agree with most of u here that, for those who happens to just like good music,regardless the singer, both j n jj write good songs, so they bought both albums, of coz, if thats the case, DONT make urself hate jj coz jay lost......there is no point. but then n again, for those who so much prefer jay over jj, i m not saying everyone else, i m only speaking about my own view, that i wud still of course want jay to win.....simply coz he i prefer him more than anyone else in that award. n i can understand that, no one cud reign forever....not even jay, so jay losing in certain award.....isnt that surprising afterall, its just that, even though jay lost , its not something shameful.....NOT.....if anyone thinks jay lost in the award n felt shamefull, then....i gues, its very incorrect.

Whether jay won or lost, he is stil the very outstanding one out there, and hopefully, we wont change our stance n 'fully' support another artiste simply coz jay lost in the award......but theres nothing wrong with supporting other artiste......just NOTas in, 'oh,jay chou doesn win n got beaten by someone else,he isnt as good anymore'.....

[jay_fantasy8]

lol, JJ actually beat Jay, then what should we do?! :rolleyes:

Man, take it easy guys. :D Yup yup, that's a little bit too far, it's not that JJ didn't deserve the awards. :rolleyes:

Well, they are singers with their own personality, I doubt JJ actually copied Jay too. We shouldn't even resort to boycotting. That's a rather ridiculous thought though. What ever, getting awards and not getting awards, I doubt they can fully change the view we have on the singers. As long as it's good music, what matters to me. Further more, JJ did well in composing good music too, so it's alright for the awards to be given to the ones who deserve to take it ba? :D Of course it doesn't mean that Jay didn't deserve that too, it's a fair competition I'm sure the judges got the impartiality.

lol, Yue, you funny girl. :D I'm okie with notes that have JJ's face printed on them though, I'm really okie with it. :rolleyes: So let's not waste any paper by burning them, trees precious, I wouldn't want to be seen trading a dozen rats for a few chickens too. :bigyuck:

[aznbballer]

jj is a awesome singer and not entirely shocked his beating jay NOW. personally i think in the long run jj might'n have as many fans as jay, depending if he can keep up with his standards if not, better. The thing with Jie lun is that he constantly produces songs which stick in your head and you can't get enough of it. The thing is, it takes lots of time to develop that and lots of skill.JJ's produced 2 very good albums, but can he produce 5 of them? Like jay? It'll be interesting to see how he goes in the long run.

[ask4more_jay]

#1: a lot of artists have the pop / R&B sound. just cuz someone has this style does not insinuate that he/she is copying jay.
#2: JJ is lin jun jie's NAME. how can that be considered copying? :dunce:

Nonono when I mean he's "copying" jay' styles, i meant that like mixing pop styles with classical styles like jay does, you know, in "Zhi Zhan Zhi Shang" it sounds a lot like classical music. and also chiense styles. like "Dong Fong Po" and "Shuang Dao" and stuff...

[flackjack]

JJ is pretty new , so the real test is if he can hold his popularity and continue his great mucsic for as many years as Jay has. Anyway JJ doesn't have the style and coolness which is immediately waht you think of, when you talk about Jay.

[eunicezy]

I am really shocked that a thread has been set up to talk about 'What should we do'. I mean, is there anything we can do? Do you want to boycott JJ or spread bad things about him? :glug:

It is only in one award ceremony that JJ Lin has managed to win Jay. And its not like JJ Lin didn't deserved the awards. JJ is pretty talented as well. And no one can deny that JJ is very popular in China. Don't forget that his senior, Ah Do, managed to win Jay last year by getting the Most Popular Male Singer.

I don't deny that I am a Jay fan as well as a JJ fan. If someone ever wants me to choose which singer do I prefer more, I wouldn't know who to choose. Both of them are very talented, and have their own different and unique styles. I don't get it why people are accusing JJ of copying Jay when their styles and songs are so different. Probably, they haven't heard JJ songs before.

What I feel is that healthy competition is defintely good for the music industry. The listeners get to gain by having better albums produced. Boycotting another singer just to support your favourite singer is defintely a silly and incorrect way to tackle the situations. If you support Jay, just buy his original CDs. :wink2:

[friends_pt]

Well, i don't think JJ is beating Jay... i think both got their own supporters... they are both talented so we can't do anything abt their talent rite? of cos we fans muz be reasonable n not be like those boybands' fans competing the number of hours or days spent queueing for their auto session to prove their popularity...

[devonn]

there's nothing we can do! got pp win, got ppl lose. we should just support who we like NO MATTER WHAT.

[msv]

Nonono when I mean he's "copying" jay' styles, i meant that like mixing pop styles with classical styles like jay does, you know, in "Zhi Zhan Zhi Shang" it sounds a lot like classical music. and also chiense styles. like "Dong Fong Po" and "Shuang Dao" and stuff...
well actually, if you say that JJ is copying Jay's style of blending various genres and instruments into his music, then technically Jay is a "copycat" too since he's not the first to think of this "method." In the end, just realize that music is a universal language understood and used by all. :rolleyes:

[amdawn]

yep, there's nothing to do. afterall there is no one God. there is plenty of room for great people to co-exist. there is a homer, a shakespeare, a faulkner, a steinbeck...no one is surpassing the other. they got their own game and they're good at it.

[ahya88]

oh well.. in my opinion.. jay was not beaten by anibody except himself.. oh well.. i shld b supporting JJ Lin more in actual fact since i'm singaporean.. but still.. i think they are different lahz.. but sumhow.. pple are going into d trend of using chinese stuff to add to pop music.. i think tats wat jay wants too.. he wants pple to appreciate n remember chinese stuff.. so i dun think he mind others using d sorta same style of china china things as him ba.. aniwae.. it's juz a music award ceremony... seriously..many pple like JJ Lin instead of Jay(according to my aunt) ish tat they understand wat JJ Lin is singing bout.. lolz.. i do understand wat jay's singing.. it's his this unique style of not veri clear singing which attracts mi.. mayb my aunt has blocked ears or wat.. when i understood wat jay's singing..

[rainbowballoon]

:shy: Shame on me, still don't know who JJ Lin is... :shy:

Hmmm, JJ Lin is short for Wayne, Lin Jun Jie. He's from Singapore (yay! :wink2: ) and my friend is fanatic over him.

I agree with some there's no need to boycott JJ. JJ makes good music too =)).. hmm maybe you can listen to his second album, di er tian tang, from www.musicfever.org.

anyway the point is .. although jay didn't win as many awards as JJ or whatever .. or has been 'beaten' by JJ in a particular event or whatever, he's still #1 in our hearts right? we know he still rocks and is the best.. and that's all that matters. =) :rolleyes:

[sweep]

Other artists should be given a chance. Maybe JJ really deserves the top spot. There are a variety of talent out there. It is better to cheer on a lot of people rather than sticking to just one artist. Again, I agree there is no need to boycott this guy.

In Jay part, this may be a friendly competition, thus, he can strive to make better music to beat this JJ...

[Eternalz]

All of them (Jay, David, JJ) are in fair competition with one another, and if any one of them steps up and becomes the top of their game, good for them. In the world of popular music, artists have their ups and their downs. If any one artist remained on top for 5 years straight, I'm confident people will become bored of their music and seek good music elsewhere just for the sake of variety. At least when you have JJ or David or even Z Chen coming up with good singles/albums, it gives Jay his motivation to create even greater works for us to enjoy. Competition is healthy and its great for us, the music appreciators.

[pyro_sign]

Not everyone can be on top all the time. As much as we love Jay, we have to calm down and accept the facts.

<33

[ask4more_jay]

Not everyone can be on top all the time. As much as we love Jay, we have to calm down and accept the facts.

<33

well, still...don't you want jay to be #1 though? like, always? but anyways, i don't think JJ lin is beating jay anymore...he never will...!!

[davidtao_freak]

don't do anything! don't waste your time standin' around just thinkin' jj lin's gonna beat jay...he's not gonna. if you wanna worry, worry about Jerry Yang or David Tao or Lee Hom or something...jj lin? he's just nothing.

[shiroyume]

nooo! never! jj lin will never surpass jay chou! jay chou will always be no.1(at least to me anyway... that counts right?=) )
but i must admit.. jj lin must be talented to be able to be compared to jay..
at least its not some loser being compared to jay, who sings songs written by others?
but! i will (try) not support jj lin..
but then again yeah i slightly agree with wackycashew.. about how music.. and especially good music.. should be appreciated..

[friends_pt]

i doubt JJ will surpass Jay too... it's seems so impossible... he can only concentrate in one place n not able to maintain his popularity in many countries at once... But for Jay, even if he don't go to the country to promote his album, like Singapore, his sales is still so good... jus like wat RenFu said before in wqyl when Jay went to promote his album. he said tat Jay don have to promote jus have to announce to the public Jay's album is out n Jay's album sales will simply be very good!!! haha...

[lovers_jjay]

I love Jay Chou as much as all of you guys out there. I'm an ultimate fan, like i know Jay's latest concert was in Nanjing with along JJ Lin, SHE, Jolin Tse, and all these other people. Speaking of JJ, i have to agree with you guys, he is catching up to Jay Chou. Even though i love Jay Chou as much as all of you i still have to say JJ is good. I mean you cant compare them really. JJ has really good singing voice, if you only listened to his song, they are just Amazing!! He can sing!! and he also writes his song and lyrics. and they are really romantic. Try listening to JJ's Mermaid. It's a really beautiful song. But then look at Jay Chou. He's also extreamly talented!! He writes his own songs, and lyrics. He can sing, (i personally likes his manly voice) and most of all he can rap.
ofcourse JJ's lyrics are romantic, but i also love Jay Chou's lyrics, they have soo much meaning to them. They also send alot of messages. So there really is no way to compare them both. So wut if JJ is catching up to Jay Chou, ppl are meant to be talented. Besides, the subject of our conversation are frinends themselves, so y should we fans fight over this matter? I say all they need right now, are supports from us fans. Jay Chou won't fall this easily, and JJ wont catch up that quickly either. So there really isnt a point arguing over wether you're going to like JJ or not. If you actually listen to his songs, they are really good. I'm staying openminded. But i still love Jay Chou!! :-) :excited:

[-zhoujielunrocks]

i do like JJ lin, but of course i love JAY more. but i think JJ lin's productions are really not bad. its nice to hear. and of course cant stop people from buying his products. and as long as we still love and support jay, JAY still can beat JJ lin (:

[maihuong]

:-/ .. i saw someone oposting bout the idea of boycotting JJ Lin's albums ..
it is not as if we are going on a strike or something .. i dont think doing such a thing has such good fan spirits .. we all want Jay to be number 1 .. but thats not the way to make him be number 1 .. common he's still number one in our hearts <3

and i llike JJ Lin's music .. they both have talents .. but why compare >.<

[gCjs84]

I think the boycotting idea of JJ's album is kind of extreme. :worry: I mean we should appreciate good music and not just boycott some good music just because that singer is gaining popularity and rising up the charts.

Personally, I do not really think that JJ is copying Jay because similarities in music is inevitable. It is like how people like to compare Jay with Lee Hom and David Tao. If we were to boycott all rising singers, I think the world of music will be in chaos. Come to think of it, if some of the people were to boycott Jay's music some years back just because he is becoming more and more popular, would we still hear his music today?

I think popularity is a relative kind of thing and sad as it sounds, we must admit that Jay will not be popular forever and one day, he will retire from the front stage of music so I ask why must we boycott some musician just because he is similar to your idol and is also good at what he does? I am sure Jay is also with the idea of promoting good Chinese music worldwide and boycotting certainly stifles the chinese music industry.

[ying64]

JJ is beating Jay? Hmm never noticed, lol. JJ is good, but not as good as Jay xP He's too old anyway.

[Helix]

i think jj lin is ok...he is young..he attracts alot of younger age people...but jay is a talented artist..i dun think jj lin can beat jay...not like jj lin is not talented...is just..personally...i would prefer jay's voice more than jj lin's....getting alot of awards and things like that dosent mean he is beating jay..and i agree with few people in here..as long as jay is number 1 in ur heart...isnt that enough!? is very hard to rank all the artists in the same poll...cos every artist has their own way of making music...

[gracecherry]

ooh, this is a really interesting topic!

friends-pt > i totally agree with what u said.

well, i m also an ultimate jay fan, no other singer has ever had such influence in me the way jay did. i dont even know why n how to say it. but, i m not against good music, at first, i dont JJ has any chance at all to make it big. well, but as his new releases kept coming up, i guess, i hav to give him credit, coz some of his melodies are INDEED nice. haha~ yea. i listen to his songs occasionally, but i dont catch up on his news or dont even bother to know.

he is talented no doubt. and he is worth the support from his fans. boycotting his music is too much. jay himself had wanted the chinese music industry to keep flourishing. n just reigning in there by himself. but jay is indeed, still very different. his music n talent, is very versatile, not just songs for himself, but he cud tailor make songs for others, the way he did for landy with 'di yu tian shi', thats such an amazingly soooothing song.

jay could reign top in the region at the same time, like once his album is out, he would be reigning in msia, sg, HK, TW, China, at the same time, countries like thailand and japan are another growing fanbase. and then....we havent look at the foreign chinese yet? fans from canada, australia, and the states??? they are amazing too. i dont think many foreign chinese wud actually fly to tw or china or Hk to catch someone's concert, but a lot did for jay. well, i guess they simply appreciate his performance.

so, its nothing much to compare the two of them. let them continue to do the best for their own music. jay's music has got more depth to it. and its variety is never ending. hehe, his soft ballads are so good like ni ting de dao, so are those rhythmic fast tracts. and he had some new oriental stuff up, like qlx, dfp. his soft rock are special like qing tian, dao dai. its just too much to credit.hehe.

[PrincessZ]

We should be happy that we have more choices in music now, I think it's absurd to say that JJ will replace Jay. I do not believe that that's JJ's intentions when he is making music. And neither do I think anyone is able to replace anyone. In this world full of hatred, war, terrorisim and sadnest, why can't we just enjoy music, it has no barrier, it's simple and beautiful... :happy:

[cookielmy]

Who is JJ Lin? ... I'm sorry for being so outdated.. but I only has Jay in my mind =P

[porridge]

Who is JJ Lin? ... I'm sorry for being so outdated.. but I only has Jay in my mind =P

JJ lin is a singaporean. his real name is wayne lin jun jie. =)

[ask4more_jay]

i've come to like JJ's songs now.
and he's pretty cute
lets just...like both of them?
Peace?

and yeah. come to think of it...the boycotting idea was kind of stupid. soooooo forgive me, fellow fans?

[esther]

I dont really get the point. How is JJ beating Jay? Sorry ah but i realise that they are not really competitors. Even though JJ won more awards than Jay? Haha! They are both different and of course, each singer will have their own fans..

I like some of JJ's songs but i am not considered his fan.
I :love: Jay and i dont really see how is JJ coming near Jay because Jay is INCOMPARABLE....

[ZOO101]

to me, jay will always be number 1.. in terms of songs, jay is a great composer than him.. i don really fancy much of jj lin songs.. onli certain songs are nice.. but i don deny that jj lin is climbing up fast. whatever it is, he will nv beat jay chou.

[cheryltangywangy]

come on people! jj is so NOT copying jay.. and besides their styles are different

[chapman]

Hm... I think if Jay see this, he will not b happy... JJ is his friend..

I have seen JJ coming to Jay's concert when it is held in Singapore in 2004 and JJ even brought Jay to shop in Singapore!

I think it is the music that counts, no use boycotting...

I doubt Jay will lose to JJ. Even some of our international fans do not know who is JJ... so who is the losing end? :)

[XxDJCyberLoverxX]

I like both of their songs, but I like Jay's more... its probably because I haven't been too much exposed to JJ's songs.. but dude, some of JJ's songs are tight though!

I'm not biased about whoever's better .... it depends on the kind of songs each artist creates... and so far Jay has some pretty good ones as well as JJ.

[chineseguyjl]

you know what we should do, we should do somethin about it. lol. I think its because theres so many people out there that know theres a whole bunch of Jay fans and so they burn copies of his cds and sell those for their own profit. We should just buy out Jays's CDs on yesasia. and everywhere else besides local street corners where the cd is discounted to $5 bucks.

[lidooL-saRah]

come on people! jj is so NOT copying jay.. and besides their styles are different


i totally agree with you, their styles are different. i dont noe why people like to compare JJ with Jay... :worry:
hmm i dont hate JJ at all. i think he's quite talented..
but i still prefer jay over him.
i dont really mind if JJ beats jay..

[sfu_boy]

I think JJ Lin's first album was quite creative and listenable. His tunes grab on to you quite quickly. However, his music gets boring equally quickly. Jay's tunes on the other hand takes time to appreciate, but once you do it'll last for along time.

[shinimasu]

i like both Jay and JJ Lin. both are very different as well. i think Jay's rapping is better than JJ's though. and if JJ is really beating out Jay, then Jay will find a way a to redeem himself. and in my view, i don't think JJ Lin is beating Jay.

[chinese_kid]

if JJ Lin is beating Jay den Jay would just have to try something new and add it to his new album. or release 2 albums out at the same time like Nelly did with Suit n Sweat album

[[V]alenti[L]uv]

I like JJ's lin new element n ever changing style.
But i will support Jay's still coz of him i learnt abt RNB musics.

[petricia]

Hmmm... People come, people go...
If you have what it takes, then you deserve to stay on top.
If not, I don't see why you should be on the top...
I don't hate JJ Lin... I have all his albums except for the first one.... I find his music good enough for me to buy those... I don't see the need to boycott him just because he is going to beat Jay in the FUTURE...

but who will know what's going to happen in the future?

You never know if Jay suddenly comes up with something totally new and different again, dominating the world...

I really think that if you have the talent, you deserve to be there... So.. we should continue to support good music..

[kliu117]

I don't want to see Jay get beaten esecially by JJ cause I really like JJ. He's #2 on my list. I hope that JJ can soon become one of the top singers in asia but not as good as Jay

[thy113]

well, do nothing 'cause jj never can beat and win with jay

[Icon Warrior]

hmm... i think jay will always be number 1... no doubts about tat...

as for jj, i think his songs are not bad at all... if i were to say his is godd, jay's would be fantastic... come on... give jay our confidence...

[Nprob]

Wat?JJ Lin beating Jay?It makes me laugh.It's impossble,JJ Lin and Jay are neither handsome.However,JJ's face looks weird for me.Sometimes,i want to vomit as look at his face(sorry those who r JJ's fans) but it's my true feeling.
Then,i agree that JJ's music is not bad but it's not very excellent like Jay or Lee Hom's music.
So,i think JJ will not be able to beat Jay because i dun feel any sense of it.It's strange,but my feelings always judge truthly that a singer can be a star,big star or not.

[charlette]

i don think JJ is anywhere near Jay yet... in terms of popularity and album sales (and now movies) across Asia. Do you see the same events happening to any singer when he/she releases a new album, as compared to the Jay effect?

I don dislike JJ, i like some of his songs. But Personally, I can listen to Jay's albums (even Fantasy till today) a million times and still love them, i get sick of JJ after a few mths.

Ding, yes, I listened to Lin Jun Jie for about a week, and some Wang Lee Hom for a week, and I get annoyed, I mean, some of his songs are cool at the first time, then 2nd, 3rd, it gets ANNOYING.

I don't know any of Jay Chou's songs that gets in my nerves, maybe for some exceptions but yeah.

and about the TOPIC name.

"Re: JJ lin beating Jay? What should we do?"

LOL, JJ Lin beating Jay? Please, did JJ Lin win as much awards as Jay Chou did? Has JJ Lin made a movie or star in a movie and made the world flip? Did JJ Lin get more fans than Jay Chou did in his total lifetime? Ain't no dissing, I like JJ Lin as well, some of his songs are captive, but not going to beat Jay ANYTIME buddy.

There's nothing we can do, since Jay Chou > JJ Lin

[la_resistance28]

eh, i dunno. JJ's ok, but most of the time he reminds me of a girl. i dont know why. not trying to be mean, but yeah... haha

[queeniecwt]

Seriously, you people have nothing to worry about. I haven't even heard of JJ Lin (or even Leehom for that matter) until I came to this forum. Now I know I've lived in Canada for more than 10 years now but I'm not really in the dark when in comes to Chinese music. Seriously... whoever this JJ Lin is, must only be big in Taiwan and certain parts of Southeast Asia. I mean, at least I've heard of Jay many .years ago even though I wasn't a fan of him until about a month ago.
No worries, Jay fans...

[haneul]

JJ Lin Jun Jie is just as good as Jay, IMO... he sings good, writes his own songs AND songs for other people, has a fun personality... he's gone a long way... I completely love all his songs, his voice, everything... and like Jay, he doesn't rely on his looks, on on his TALENT. I'm glad that when JJ IS in the news, it's for his music, not for any rumours... I wouldn't worry about JJ Lin beating Jay or vice versa... their styles are completely different... JJ Lin is more pop, traditional mixed with pop, etc... he isn't copying Jay in any way... he hasn't rapped or done anything like Jay... and plus, he dances!!! He's all-round amazing. I love JJ ^_^ He sounds amazing live too

[keikai]

Actually I'm kind of surprised my country's idol got THIS famous that he is able to beat Jay? Its really hard to believe to a certain extend. If you were in my shoes, you'd be able to see the point. ^_^
However, I still think that Jay will be able to beat JJlin in the long run.

[honeypinkies]

hard choice! both are very talented. but still I love jay more...so i buy his album and download jj's

[sushii]

jay and jj are both very talented artists, why say one is beating the other or one is trying to copy the other, they are two different people with two different styles of music.so what if jj won ONE award over jay? its just one award, there will be more to come, and whose to say jj didn't deserve it? hes a very talented singer/song writer/ composer just like jay.personally i think a heathly competition is good for our idol. it'll remind him that he can't stay at the top forever (i'm not trying to say that jay will "fall down from his position as a heavenly king")but instead it'll drive jay to work harder on his music and get rewarded for it. but in my opinion awards really aren't important. as long as jay is doing what he loves, music, and that all his fan support him its okay. and why boycott other singers just to support one? if you do that you'll be missing out on some other great talents as well. rather than boycott. just support jay! buy his cds and other merchandise!^_^

[haneul]

Seriously... whoever this JJ Lin is, must only be big in Taiwan and certain parts of Southeast Asia. I mean, at least I've heard of Jay many .years ago even though I wasn't a fan of him until about a month ago.
No worries, Jay fans...

Hehe, actually, JJ made it pretty far to make it big in Taiwan... because he's Singaporean, and few have made it very very very far into the Chinese music business... so I'm very proud of him! Aside from him, there's Stefanie Sun, A-Do and Huang Yida who have made their name reach Taiwan, HK, etc... IMO, JJ Lin is the most successful out of the four of them. Jasmine (Fish) Leong from Malaysia has also made it quite far into the market... so yea, they really are foreigners who made it big in Taiwan, whereas Jay is not a foreigner to start with.:excited:

[kliu117]

Like Jay always says: We should not always compare to each other. Bu yao bi jiao lai bi jiao qu ma! It doesn't really matter, JJ is a talented guy, he composes his own songs and writes some lyrics, if he one day really does surpass Jay, I would not be surprised. Look at how many people Jay surpassed, almost everyone in Asia. JJ is becoming more and more popular and I think he deserve that. He siings good songs too.

[owen88]

JJ in no way is beating jay........ he is still far off in my opinion

[lucyana]

who said that..of course jay is still #1..the hell jj lin could beat him..not in 10 years..huahua..oops

[willywutang]

Honestly, there is nothing wrong with JJ Lin beating Jay. This is not so much about competition. To me, I like both Jay and JJ Lin. Both of them can sing and both can write music. As long as both of them continue to do that, I'll continue to buy their albums.

[atomik86]

yeh its the same for when ppl compare leehom, jay, jj lin, or david tao. they all do what they do very well without completely being a copycat of each other. each of these great artists have a distinct flavor and thats what makes them top the charts year after year
