Taiwan’s Chou wows Malaysians at concert

KUALA LUMPUR: Taiwan’s prince of R&B Jay Chou brought the house down at Stadium Merdeka on Saturday night. 

The concert was part of his “Incomparable to Jay World Tour 2005,” which kicked off in October last year. Prior to the concert here, Chou had held sold-out shows in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. 

For two-and-a-half hours, the singer-songwriter sang 26 tunes, ranging from the infectious hip-hop song like Yi Fu Zhi Ming (In the Name of the Father) to soothing R&B ballads such as Ai Wo Bie Zou (Love Me Don’t Leave) and Hui Dao (Return). 

The 26-year-old Chou proved that he was also an able musician when he played the piano and flute. 

Joining him on stage were guest performers, hip-hop quartet Nan Quan Ma Ma and the sultry songstress Landy Wen. Both also did well to keep the over 20,000 crowd entertained. 

“Incomparable to Jay World Tour 2005” Live in Malaysia was sponsored by Maxis Communications Berhad and Hotlink. Star Planet was the organiser.
