Jay Chou?

Of course not lah! Jay Chou where got so tall and big size......but then not far-fetched lah...at least the rapping is of some standard. For those who have noticed, YES the person grooving to the beat in the video is MUA! and YES, I can rap.......quite alright too! (only in mandarin...english I can rap too but a bit "lau hong" lah cos my "ang moh" no slang so don't sound so nice)



This was filmed by the music school I used to learn singing in. I was lucky enough to be invited by the music director of the school to take part in their artiste course and this was one of the weekly performance that every student in the course has to participate in. Sad to say that was my last performance in the course, but it was also my best performance as rated Top 3 for that week by the audiences. Throughout the course, I got low to almost no votes for my weekly performances. Maybe because I got no star factor or I was nervous most of the time on stage. It is not easy performing on stage I tell you!

Then this particular week, the music director wanted to use Jay Chou as the theme of the performances. We are suppose to choose one of his songs to sing. I was thinking in my head "yeah baby!". Why you might ask, that's because I like his songs. (Actually, long before, I don't listen to his songs. Then one day, I heard one of his early rap songs who was very popular, 双截棍. I found it interesting and challenging, so I thought to myself maybe I could try to learn the rap. I listened to it many times and tried catching the groove, beat and lyrics at the correct timing. After many tries, I was able to rap the song and remembered all the lyrics. From there on, I started listening to his songs and learning all his nice rap songs. One thing lead to another, I began to like hip-hop stuff and rap songs. Somehow I like grooving to the beat and rhythm.) Anyway, I suggested to the music director if I could try performing a rap song instead and he agreed, saying it might be something different for the audience. During rehearsals, I had a lot of fun practising the song and my fellow coursemates were laughing away at my actions and how I sort of became another person when it comes to rapping. So there I was rapping away my final performance, and maybe because it was something I liked, I was quite natural on stage and that might be the reason why the audience voted for me. I am no longer in the course due to various reasons, but it was a very good and memorable experience for me. I made many friends in the course.

By the way the song in the video is 红模仿 by Jay Chou in his 依然范特西 album.


And I am going to his concert this friday with my sweetie!
