IT SUCKS TO BE JAY CHOU
Jay Chou, the Asian pop star who played the lead role in gargantuan hit INITIAL D, is having a bad week.
First off, his new album NOVEMBER'S CHOPIN, is being accused of stealing from other songs. A bunch of fans noticed it first and then the media picked it up. His song, BESIEGED, is supposedly lifted from a band called GSindikatas and now folks are saying parts of it are also lifted from a Linkin Park song.
The worst part is that "Besieged" is an attack on the paparazzi who are just eating this plagiarism charge up like candy.
Then, the 26 year old was accused of wearing a toupe'. A toupe'! Folks say he's got thin hair and is balding and then, suddenly, on the cover of NOVEMBER'S CHOPIN, he's got thick locks. His manager admitted he was wearing a wig, but that it was for artistic purposes only. The press, in the meantime, is shocked, just shocked, because Jay's rug was Made in Japan!

Jay had it coming. I noticed that a lot of songs on his last album Common Jasmin Orange were also copied or stolen. Get this has been out the door and bring on a new King of Rnb.

i think u are not a responsible reporter
coz u just post on some stuff u heard on the net and didn't do any brain work
let's me tell u ,, the song BESIEGED used the same string from the same company with that music group,, it is not copying ~ don't u know that u can buy different strings on the net and compose a song??
And,, um,, i think Jay is not only working on RnB style now,, his works included many different style like chinese culture and hip hop.. actually ... have u really listen to is music?

i guess november chopin is the good album have i ever seen before. in indonesia people majoritas dont like chinesse music but after i listen nocturne, oh my god that music so touch my heart. event i don't really now what the meaning of that song but i can see in his MV and the melody that jay want to show his sad song. i think jay is good piano player event he is not like maksim. hehehe. in indonesia i can listen his music from mandarin radio and i'm very happy after listen his music because i can feel that song.

OMFG!!~~he wore a wig?! the world is going to come to an end.... [notice the sarcasm =.=] geez....mass mediaz going realli low huh?
Posted by: bambi | Nov 28, 2005 3:49:07 AM
Well, thank god for blogs like this, huh? See, we can cover stories about celebrities wearing wigs, and saying dumb stuff and all sorts of fun and interesting, yet trivial, things while the mass media covers the important stories. I mean, do you think print journalism would stoop so low as to cover a story about Russell Crowe beaning a night clerk with a telephone? Or that Britney Spears had squirted a baby out of her womb? Or that Paris Hilton stole Mary-Kate Olsen's boyfriend?
Thank god for the internet...we leave the big stories to the big bopys while living the small life.

Jay is a 1337 haxorz. Who will you seek to defame next Wang Fei?

i think the peps who reported bouts how jay chou's song "besieged" is similar to GSindikatas' song and linking park is bullshiet...if so, then...how r we gonna argue/explain bouts those bands?! who copied who's songs? i think this is all full of bullshiet...little stuff. like other singers dont copy other songs... do u ever find any difference among all the american rapperS?! they all sound the same. some r even obvious a copy! people who dont know jay chou enough dont have the right to judge him...puttin on a wig for his photoshoots r fake, what bouts the american idols who does plastic surgery from chest to butt? n the on screen airbrushin they use for mtvs or commercials?! everyone thinks its fine!...then guess what?.. its fine for jay chou too! jay's songs r far more professional, unique, and better than most artists! at least the lyrics to his songs is not all bouts love, sex, drugs, money, n being all that! oh! n dont u peoples get sick of watchin mvs like watchin porn? LEAVE JAY ALONE!

jay is nothing...
jet li is also nothing..
Huo Yuanjia is the real "Hero"...
during a time when the foreigners were invading China, and labeling chinese as the weak race of asia..Huo fights to restore pride for China...
how many of you can fight for your country?haha
Jay/Jet li are just individuals...
Huo is a legend already..a national hero..

Posted by: angiie | Jun 13, 2006 2:09:52 PM
jay chou is very talented and i don't think he would purposely copy a song from someone else - he can write better ones by himself!
besdies, in music you're allowed to borrow techniques - otherwise there wouldn't be much "music" around at all, no beethoven, chopin, and most of the other famous composers and singers we know today - and borrowing techniques doesn't mean you've "copied". just coz you're a pop star, it doesn't mean that the rules of music have to change to make the paparazzi and those gold-digging journalists happy.

I agree with T [posted on Feb 8]
i mean, not to be mean, but Panic at the Disco and Fall Out Boy sound EXACTLY ALIKE. their voices AND their songs. how come no one accuses them?
and all the stars get boobjobs. but no one goes "OMG! SHE GOT A BOOB JOB!" and posts it everywhere. so why is it SO bad for jay to wear a fucking wig? jeez. even without hair, he's still hawt as hell. ;P
JAY ROCKS. PERIOD.
all this is bull.
Posted by: CHALKohLETT | Aug 23, 2006 9:21:50 PM
I think its better that sometimes we should listen rumors or not of true news or false news cuz some people never or and believe it , so i sujest that listen to news like this stuff carefully , never should wanted carried too much way on this , that is my opinion .

1stly who ever posted this blog... SHOULD DIE! u want ppl to notice this blog and don't like jay anymore.... BUT UR WRONG! He has a new Album called Still Fantasy..STILL FANTASY! He is a good singer... the best of all he is a good writer too. If Jay Chou coped any songs then y didn't any news reported it? I heard no news about it. PLUS the possiblility of jay's hair was shorter in Initial D was that he just grew his hair or something. Months go by and hair goes thicker and longer... GOSH PPL WHO DON'T KNOW ANYTING! GO DIE FIRST COMMENTER... THIS THING has pasted for a year now... SO END IT HERE! STOP THOSE NONSENSE!
