Jay Chou - Huo Yuan Chia EP


After grabbing almost all the major awards from 12th annual Chinese Music Award, Jay continues to produce kick ass music. Written in two days, Jay releases Huo Yuan Chia for Jet li's final wushu film. The song sounds like Jay mixed classic sounds with mondern beats. He even used the "dan" voice (a traditional role of the female in a bejing opera). Many have said that this song is repetitive of his style, some hints of Blue Hurricane and Dragon Fist are noticable in the song. C'mon guys, the dude had two days to do it. Regardless, the song is still its own and I'm sure topping the charts in Asia. Besides CD single, the package comes with a major bonus DVD. The DVD includes all of the music videos from his recent album November Chopin (including both songs from Initial D). In addition also includes the Huo Yuan Chia MV as well. I have to say my favorite videos were "Huo Yuan Chia" "Nocturne" (A major hit in asia) "Hair like snow" "Maple" -- dude the DVD is worth it alone haha. Also have to give Jay Thumbs up for having some of the cutest asian girls in his Videos...particularly "hair like snow" and "Attacked from all sides"-- the guy has style...oh by the way, he did this song for FREE - something he always wanted to do for one of his idol...Jet li.

I would like to add to Luc's comment about Jet Li and his last wushu movie "Fearless." If you haven't seen Jay Chou's "Huo Yuan Chia," go check it out right now! Talk about major ass whooping. I've never seen Jet Li stamp out evil like that. His roundhouses are so perfect; his punches are so on the money; and his bitch slaps... I won't even go there. (Luc, I need the Huo Yuan Chia MV to show the viewers what I mean... hehe)

It's sad to see the king of wushu leave the martial arts circuit. We should all lower our flags half staff on this dark day. I would much rather see Jackie Chan take his monkey business elsewhere and retire instead. But thus is life. Sometimes, it's the good ones who go. But we can all take comfort in knowing that Jet Li goes out in style with "Fearless." Now, everybody go weep.

As far as Jay Chou goes, he's the best in the business (just like Jet Li), and all you haters can kiss my nuts.
