Jay Chou opens concert on a cold night, Jolin Choi is not absent
by kelvin@multistars - 2nd October 2004
After an explosive noise, young heavenly Jay descends down from the highest point on the stage on a red cross, causing everyone to scream, who cares if it was cold or raining, "Director Chou" brought to the fans the night of "Incomparable".
Offstage it was this year's highest record of tickets with nearly 40,000 fans, rumour girlfriend Jolin Choi who especially came back from Tian Jin, she intimately wrote on the flower basket: "I'm watching offstage, nicely play cool." Scared of being chased by the media and stealing Jay's limelight, Jolin Choi especially entered through the backdoor. After Jay finished singing one song he said with a hoarse voice: "Very happy, has everyone got here today? I'm very touched."
Tonight's temperature was the coldest of this year's autumn, little rain occasionally disturbed, but after Jay "descended" from the 6th, 7th floor, being protected by a safety belt and singing "In The Name Of The Father", no one cared about the weather. For this unprecedented opening, the record company especially added an extra 10,000,000 to the 10,000,000 insurance.
Jay showed off his bamboo flute which he had practised many times, an unplugged performance, "Clear Stars" and "The Final Battle" are familiar songs to the fans, just after he finishes singing Chang Chen Yue's "Love Me Don't Leave", turn around and he's singing "My Territory", in the rap part Jay added: "The lyrics written by Vincent Fang are too hard to recite, I just can't remember..." When he sang half of "Chaotic Dance Of Spring And Autumn", his mobile rang, he answered the mobile: "I'm watching the concert." This interesting arrangement was very funny. He changes into a blue suit, sitting at the side of a specially made pink piano, like a prince accompanying hot junior apprentice Landy Win, doing a duet of "Wish Me A Happy Birthday". Nan Quan Mama was the other guest. He also sang "Double Pillow" while playing the piano.
When Jay was singing "Nun-Chuks" and "Dragon Fist", he changed into a black leather coat and red tassels, and then he sang "Rewind" which he wrote for Jolin Choi. Before the ending, he sang "Simple Love" and "Common Jasmin Orange" in a blue leather overcoat and jeans, the whole place sang together, at the same time 1500 paper dragonflies blew towards the audience, the end part was smeared with fragrance, letting everyone be steeped in the fresh smell of Common Jasmin Orange. Jay dedicated the encore song "Maternal Grandmother" to his maternal grandmother; he also drove his own white curio car onto stage.
Apart from his maternal grandmother, father Zhou, mother, cousin, good friend in the entertainment circle S.H.E., Patty Hou, Harlem, etc...all came. Last concert's special guest David Tao wrote on the flower basketball some English, "I know you'll be great on stage and hope the show kicks ass! Looking forward to doing a concert with you one of these days." Jerry Yan said: "When are you going to write a song for me to sing?" Amei and Elva also gave flower baskets.
Jay gave himself 90%, he expressed that the last 2 sessions were about 80%, today's session he gave 90%, as for some of the flaws, Jay pointed out 3 points, the 1st was that the computer had problems, the 2nd was that the sound was a little bit inaccurate, lastly a bit of the lyrics weren't recited, but because of his on the spot lyric writing, therefore he regained a lot of points.
