Sunday November 25, 2007 China If you are a musician who wants to perform at the Shanghai Stadium, you have to be really popular—so much so that you have the power to fill 80,000 seats with fans. That objective was a piece of cake for Taiwan pop king Jay Chou. On Saturday night, Chou's fans jam-packed the venue, as the singer-songwriter put on a three-hour show that was a feast for both the eyes and ears. Chou kept his word by presenting the audience with an old-Shanghai flavored affair. Besides a dozen costume changes, he showed off his skill on the piano, guitar and guzheng, a traditional Chinese zither. Over the night, Chou performed 27 of his hit songs, with genres spanning rock, retro and hip-hop. The show wrapped up with two encores followed by a boisterous sing-along. Although his latest album, "Jay Chou on the Run", failed to gain rave reviews from critics, 28-year-old Chou managed to expand his fan base with his directorial debut, "Secret". A high-school romance film starred actress Lunmei Kwai and Chou himself. The film proved to be a big commercial success. credits: cri.
Yes...i wish i could go to jay's concert.... my brother said he wanted to go but i doubt if he went there... 3hour show is good...i mean....u pay quite a lot to go see someones concert.... i remember the concerts ive been to....i dont think they were longer than 2 hours...=/
oh i wanna go to jay chou's concert one day. if only i lived in hk or china. grrr. or if he did a world tour that actually included the uk lol.
3 hours .. how long was the break in between the show? gotta hit the bathroom sometimes, right? i don't hate jay chou but personally, i think his music lost the "flavor" .. kinda gotten worst over the years. his live singing is quite poor if you have heard it, you would agree with me.
Argh! I wanna go for his concert too! Haha...that traditional chinese costume looks familiar...didn't someone else use that for their concert too?
