by kelvin@multistars - 20th March 2005
Yesterday night on the 20th of March, the Pepsi Music Chart Awards was held in Beijing's Olympic sports centre. Jay Chou won 5 in total, also Vincent Fang won Best Lyrics for "Common Jasmin Orange", Nan Quan Mama won Best Rock Newcomers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Best Album of the Year in Hong Kong and Taiwan: Jay Chou "Common Jasmin Orange"
Best Male Artist of the Year in Hong Kong and Taiwan: Jay Chou
Most Popular Male Artist in Taiwan: Jay Chou
Top Ten Gold Songs in Hong Kong and Taiwan: Jay Chou "Common Jasmin Orange"

When Jay won Top Ten Gold Songs in Hong Kong and Taiwan with "Common Jasmin Orange", he went on stage with JJ Lin, Jay said: "I hope us singer-songwriters here can continue to work hard for Chinese music." Very soon Jay won "Most Popular Male Artist in Taiwan", he went onstage to speak again: "This award is very important to me, because it is very rare for me to get an award not to do with composing." When he won "Best Male Artist of the Year", he said, "Today I'm very happy, I want to thank all the fans who support me. At the same time I want to be in mutual encouragement with all musicians, making music is actually a very pure matter, don't be disturbed by the outside world. Being a musician, you must have confidence; a lot of composers change their own style because they hear the voices of criticism. I think this is wrong, you can only be successful if you persist, only then can you make even better music. I am persisting with my own music, I also like my own music, who says I'm Jay Chou!"
