The
article claims that Jay Chou, as the King of Chinese pop music, is a
legend because of his talent. The author talks about Jay’s early albums and
achievements as evidences to show Jay’s popularity and the top place in Asia
pop music. Firstly, all of Jay’s songs are composed by himself, each of which
is unique and shows off his musical
talent. As backings, Jay’s ballads are beautiful, as well as being moving and
honest, while his fast-paced rapping and word twisting is very impressive. Secondly, young people adore
him and imitate his confidence as well as ambition. He is the perfect example
of the "I-generation"- the post-80s generation. As backings for this
point, the author mentions Jay’s concerts that it is not unusual to see his
fans cheer wildly and sing loudly with him from below. Jay bombards the
audience with various music styles including hip-hop and unplugged versions. Jay's
talent is the warrant that has brought him fame. As rebuttal, even though
people say that Jay has a bad mouth since his lyrics are blurred and inexplicit,
the term “Jay Style" has already been
popularized to describe his trademark cross-cultural music and his insistence
on singing with slurred enunciation. Jay combines both Chinese and Western
musical styles to produce a sound unique to mainstream Chinese pop, which
contributes to the "Chinese-style music".
