Directly naming Jay Chou, most hate being accused of copying, Kenji Wu sings out biography
by kelvin@multistars - 16th March 2008Source: Chinatimes
Kenji Wu releases his new album "Writing A Poem For You" on the 14th, he sealed his lips and wouldn't talk about the female star he liked, he stressed he didn't want to create topics with other people, he didn't want to be put into the category of a guy relying on a girl, he held back on his words, yet he was very courageous with his writing, his new song "My Biography" directly named Jay Chou, he criticised that every singer in the music industry goes to film movies, was he shouting at Jay Chou through his song? He made a detour and said: "He has filmed good and bad ones, "Secret" was filmed very well, the latter half made me want to cry a bit."
Claims not to have any hostility towards Jay Chou
"My Biography" describes Kenji Wu's journey since he came out, he and Jay Chou came out at the same time, yet their reputations in the industry couldn't be any more different, Jay Chou is really popular, and he is just like this first album "Not Discovered All Along", he was not discovered all along. 3 years ago he returned to the industry with "Great Mischievous Person", "General's Command", yet he was accused of copying Jay Chou's style, he still couldn't get away from Jay Chou's shadow. He stated he didn't have any hostility towards Jay Chou, it's just that he understood some things from him. Anyway Jay Chou's Chinese style songs have written a new era.
Kenji Wu praised Jay Chou's music creation, yet he was very resentful about "General's Command" being accused of copying, he said writing songs was his life, accusing him of copying is the greatest insult to him, he's not hurt by the media writing stories about him chasing girls, he just can't accept the saying of copying, because usually when he's writing songs, as soon as his friends say that they've heard of a similar melody, he'll start from scratch.
Discards Cyndi Wang, a vague matter
He clarified the female star he likes is not Cyndi Wang, but when asked who it is was? He vaguely said: "That's in the past, but who that person is, I will never say." There are rumours he is dating his harmony teacher Huang Di Jun? He stressed the two are very happy working together, there's nothing between them, but she's responsible for 10 songs in the new album, the two's relationship makes people suspicious.
An excerpt from the lyrics of "My Biography"
Composed and written by: Kenji Wu
I released my first album at 21 years old
It was called "Not Discovered All Along"
Everyone really didn't discover it
Everyone discovered a Lun
He's called Jay Chou, I slowly sink
Only me left listening to "Nun-Chuks"
Only thing to do next is to go act and film idol dramas
Lets see if I can make a comeback
I really only want to sing songs for you to listen to
Afterwards Rap comes after General's Command
Suddenly someone says I copied
The saying success will attract attention is not unreasonable
Damn song style can be copied too?
If that song deters you
I think you definitely won't be happy with this song
I only want to say sorry, do a salute, do a fart
Stink you to death because this song's not really rap
I can only consider it's a chant
