this is why I don’t think

I’ve ever seen any singer attempt to sing a fast jay song. 因為就算嘗試了, 唱的出來, 也感覺唱的很吃力. Like they can’t really keep up with the music…which is generally what happens when anyone tries to sing jay’s fast songs. I think in order to successfully keep up you have to morph a lot of the syllables into a simpler form which creates the impression of mumbling…and you have to be jay chou. Too bad, I think he sings ok normally and he writes pretty good songs. This reminds me of a long time ago when pokemon was popular and my sister was playing the game and I saw the strategy guide which shows each pokemon’s five abilities in a pentagonal graph (the higher the rating for one of the abilities, the longer that side of the pentagon is. So you can see if the pokemon is ‘well rounded’ with a smaller but more even pentagon or is especially good at defence or whatever other ability, creating a very skewed pentagon.
TANK is one of those well rounded singers, compared to other singers, he has above average singing ability, above average song writing ability (he writes all his songs, he composes good melodies), above average voice, above average personal singing style, and is above average looking (IMO). Therefore, he has a nice even looking pentagon with a large serface area….

side note: someone in the audience is holding a lighted up billboard of a tank. aww how cute. I didn’t even realize the connection the first few times I saw it.

other side note: when I was at the louvre I saw the (very black) stone with Hammurabi’s code on it. like in the song 愛在西元前

古巴比倫王頒布了漢摩拉比法典
刻在黑色的玄武岩 距今已經三千七百多年
妳在櫥窗前 凝視碑文的字眼
我卻在旁靜靜欣賞妳那張我深愛的臉

祭司 神殿 征戰 弓箭 是誰的從前
喜歡在人潮中妳只屬於我的那畫面
經過蘇美女神身邊 我以女神之名許願
思念像底格里斯河般的漫延

A song also not possibly singable by someone other than jay chou.

while it’s late and I’m talking about random things, I’ve noticed that a large number of singers in Taiwan are part/whole “Taiwanese aborigines,” (amei, piggy, TANK, vivian hsu, landy wen, power station [x2], list goes on and on actually…) certainly a disproportionally large percentage considering how they’re about 2% (?) or less of the general population in Taiwan (disseminated due to centuries of chinese colonists…). Supposedly they genetically have better voices. You (or I at least) notice that they also look obviously different from normal han chinese. Or at least as obvious as Nick looking northern chinese to me, which nick disputes (haha).
