I had the privilege to watch Jay Chou again in Taiwan for 3 days in a row. It was a decision I pounded on for a long time since after watching "THe Era" in Taipei for 1 night only. I thought the Taiwan fans are as crazy as me in terms of shouting, screaming and putting the roof on fire!
Our first night was a bit of a surprise coz Jielun surprised us with a live guesting from the living-- Sun Yan Zi (Stephanie Sun) and from the dead-- Teresa Teng. He always love to surprise his fans and this one is a bit scary since you can see on the big screen that Teresa Teng is singing, but when you take a look at the stage, only Jay's singing. lol. Funny but scary, right?
Second night, my place was quite elevated, I was able to witness the superb performance of Coco Lee! She teased Jay about getting a partner and some other funny stuff. Nothing special on the 2nd day except for the guest.
Third night, the last night. OMG I saw Tao Zi on the artists' seat with Li Li Ren and their kids. I was so star struck that I wanted to say Hi! This time, there were more chances of getting an upclose look on Jielun coz it was indeed the last night. I felt a bit sad coz I really enjoyed watching Jay perform. He can't perfect his showmanship like Jacky Cheung does but there's something in him that you'd want to watch him even in repeat performances. I know compared to the Hong KOng singers, especially those who were famous during the 90s, their performances are of utmost perfection. It's too perfect you will notice if they danced a wrong step or sang the lyrics wrong but with Jay, everything is spontaneous and honestly the result is better than expected.
Anyway, my third night was really special. During encore, as the fans went to the "moshpit" or "fanzone" area. Jay started singing "安静" (An Jing) then comes 麦各我真爱你你无爱我！(Taiwanese language). I thought, where did that come from? What was that song again? It sounds familiar but it does not belong to this concert at all. I got dumbfounded then my sis nudged me while she kept screaming "Ano ka ba! Mayday!!! Anyare???" (What are you doing, it's Mayday! What happened to you?) I was "Shit di nga???" I can't believe my eyes, my ears as Mayday ascended from the "elevator". OMG my screams, their screams, the whole stadium was so loud! It was like all hell breaks loose, and someone from below just emerged and almost went up to the roof! I was screaming so much and kept saying: "Oh my god omg omg omg omg..." My sis again reminded me not to scream OMG coz Mayday also has a song entitled "Oh My God" haha. After singing 志明与春娇, Jay and Ah Shin were talking. They were saying that for years they've been in this business but they never really got to perform onstage together. Ahshin said: "今晚大家应该赚到了" (Tonight, I believe everyone profited with this performance!) Yes of course, it was like hitting 2 birds in 1 stone. I kept shouting "Thank you Jay!!!" like several times and he kept looking at the opposite side. I think he heard me but he doesn't want to be distracted. But I sincerely thank him, for guesting Mayday that night. After the talk, they sang a mashed song of Jay's and Mayday's: 听妈妈的话 (Listen to your mom)+干杯（cheers)+ 晴天(One Fine Day) and 离开地球表面 (Jump) + 双截棍 (Nunchucks).
It was one helluva night! We were so thankful and happy. I owe everything wonderful that has happened to this show to a benefactor and with that, I will be forever indebted.
You can't buy happiness, seek and you shall find it.
Thank you Jay for 3 wonderful nights!
If I spend a part of my earnings just to see you, it was all worth it because everything you do makes me more proud as a fan. I am proud that I am a Jay Chou fan. I support you for your music, talent and sensibility. You're 独一无二。
