Woah what a night! It’s the morning after and I can still hear Jay Chou singing in my head. Haha OK perhaps that is a little creepy, but my goodness… what an awesome show it was last night!
Now I was one of the crazy fans that kept screaming during the show. I was SO excited about seeing him live. Call me a dork but this guy is the best and this concert showcased all of his talents. Jay played the piano, drums, guitar and the Chinese harp. He sang songs from the very first album to a snippet of the last. I was hoping to hear more of the songs from his latest album but unfortunately that didn’t happen.
If you’ve watched the Jay Chou 2007 The World Tours Concert DVD, the Sydney Concert was actually very similar. The song list was almost the same but there were quite a few more songs and segments added to this concert. This is the first time that Jay has come to Sydney so he had 10 years of material to showcase to us in 3 hours. I think he did a pretty good job of it and the fans definitely sounded pleased.
Stand-out songs for me were 安靜 (An Jing), 青花瓷 (Qing Hua Ci), 千里之外 (Qianli zhi Wai), 髮如雪 (Fa Ru Xue) and the Fearless theme song.
Halfway through the show, one of Jay’s dancers came on stage to propose to his girlfriend. It was sooooo sweet and the poor girl looked so shocked, but happy of course. Jay even serenaded them with 開不了口 (Kai Bu Liao Kou) after the dancer proposed. Awwwwwwwww!
Nan Quan Mama also made an appearance during the night singing a medley of their songs. I was a bit disappointed that NQMM only turned up with two out of its four members. What a waste! Gary Yang also came on stage during the acoustic set and sang along with Jay.
All in all, it was a great experience. It was fun, entertaining and the atmosphere was electric! Haha Looking forward to the next time that Jay Chou comes to our shores. Let’s hope it’s in the near future. Next time… I’m taking my parents with me!

Great post!
Hey, I loved the concert on friday~! Only wished I wasn’t in the corporate box (its a bit too stiff to really enjoy the concert). There was another girl who sang with Jay, the song straight after the dancing with the blue dress girl and the guy. Jay was in a vest and white cane, then this girl comes in from the left and opens up. That was a real highlight. Does anyone know who she is and what was that song?
Hey James, I think the song you’re refering to is 夜的第七章 (Ye de Dìqizhang), the first track from the Still Fantasy album. No idea who the girl is but she sang well, really nice voice.
I’m just soooo glad to know that Jay has soooo many fans out there in all of the world. So many different races and nationalities!Everyone who went to his concert enjoyed every moment very much.
I am from New York, I went to the concert in Connecticut, USA on Christmas. There were so many white people in Jay’s concert too! I asked them how they like it, and they replied with a pleased answer. I was in the first front row seat and watched Jay’s performance so clearly till the end of the concert. Jay is soooooo talented and cute. Hope to see his concert again~
