CAUTION: What you're about to see will disturb you for the rest of your life. Seriously. thumbsup.gif

Anyway, WHAT THE HELL WAS JAY CHOU THINKING?! (Yeah, I actually had to type out "wth")
Cowboys and square dancing? Most of all, he's being disrespectful to his culture. Did you notice that there is only one main asian woman in the video? In this case, she is pudgy and not so good looking..compared to the caucasian women who are "eye candy" to the men.
HOW COULD YOU JAY CHOU?! stubborn.gif

But I have my guilty reasons, the song is pretty catchy. _unsure.gif

Nevertheless, I don't think Jay Chou purposefully tried to send out wrong messages to his viewers/fans..I'm pretty sure he just did this for fun..? I think. _smile.gif

.. Um.. Actually, I wouldn't call any of the women on there "main", so I don't think the Pudgy Asian woman would be a main one. Plus, go to 1:11 to 1:13 And you'll see a HOT ASIAN MILF (LMAO)

Oh wow.. The chorus is catchy, but everything is is.. BLEH. HEE-HAW?! NO JAY CHOU, NO!

lmao Sean, he better not sing that song at the concert you so desperately want to see!

It's spelled "Chou" for Taiwanese romanization, I think, but for Hanyu Pinyin it's "Zhou", which is read like "Joe".

I saw this two weeks ago, and I still shake my head in shame.
jeanna
what is he saying?.. lol

Yep. When I say my name in Chinese, it's pronounced as "zhou" but when said in English, it's pronounced "chow/chao". Jou/Zhou/Chou is all the same too.

Aww I don't think it's as bad as you guys say it is. I heard this song when it first leaked a while ago and of course I was like WTF IS HE DOING, but hey, it's really catchy ;). And apparently he invested a lot of time into it like building the diner, etc. The dancing is kind of cool...I guess. The chorus is basically the same line "don't be bothered by it." In the beginning he says, "here I am to introduce myself" and goes on hella rants or whatever. The line after that goes;
"I'm a cowboy and I order milk at bars (lady passes milk to him). Why don't I drink beer?"
"BECAUSE BEER IS BAD FOR YOUR BODY" (all men)

Too lazy to figure out the rest...I'll keep listening/editing this post.

I hear the rest of his album is good though (shhh it's leaked ;)). Here, this one is much better: Cai Hong- Rainbow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F1wFPFFWQI and it's really sad too if you understand it. I can translate this one, but I don't really think people will care haha.

TRANSLATE FOR MEEEEEEE

/edit omg i hate songs where guys give an emo talk in the beginning

Cai Hong translated! To the main idea only, not word by word lol.
sprezzatura
Hahahaha. The first time I saw this, I just cracked up a lot because it was too childish (no offense to Jay's fans). Cai Hong is an okay song though.

Heh it was created cause Jay Chou always received a lot of critic about how his songs were always "the same style." He made this to crack people up and try out something new. Not bad though.

OKAY I'M GOING TO STOP CAUSE THIS MAKES ME LOOK SO ASIAN. Goddamn I bet I seem so fobby with my avatar and sig or w/e. Ok I'm changing it. I swear I don't seem this asian in real life.
doiink
it's okay, I SUPPORT JAY CHOU TILL THE END WOOOT! i always found it extremely annoying that the taiwanese fans insist that artists have songs that are too "similar." IT'S CALLED A CONSISTENT STYLE GODDAMNIT.

Oh, come on, we knew how Asian you were from the beginning. Remember all those long-drawn conversations about Asian guys (esp Jay Chou) in the Chinese thread with Julia? Good times. OH! And what was that site with the hot Asian guys again? I remember spending hours on that site.

I still support Jay Chou, and I get how this is to change it up a bit, but did he have to be that drastic?! I think it's a little out of character. The song's not as horrible as I thought it was in the beginning, though.
mylittleMiracle
but well,i will still support him _smile.gif

The song and video are goofy as hell. There's just no denying that. He does seem to be having fun with it though, and really, I think that's the point. There might be some "reinventing" or this "mixing it up" concept involved, but I don't think that one song will ruin his career. Besides, as retarded as I felt watching this video, it did make me smile. XD
medicineforluck
Don't get me wrong - I'm still a fan of Jay Chou. Its just the previous video that really shook me.
But now that I got it out of my system..its not that bad. I can see how he made it just for fun.
As for the new video..SO CUTE throb.gif
Is it just me or is the guy in the video..unattractive?

Jay Chou is a hugely popular Chinese singer.

I won't watch this since I'm not a big fan of his, and I don't want to be disturbed. xD
