Q: what is your opinion of Jay Chou? Who’s your favorite singer/artist? What’s your favorite music?
A: I think JC is an outstanding singer. Firstly, he has a good command of musical tools/instruments(tunes?). He always uses diff musical tools in diff performances. Secondly, he has excellent talent/he is very talented(adj). He has absolute feeling of music/perfect pitch when he was born, so he has special advantage compared to other people. Thirdly  he is a man who is a perfectionist when it comes to his career/he is very hardworking/professional. Each time he gives a performance, he always uses his real voice to sing a song. Last but not least, he is well-rounded, because he likes playing games and he keeps/maintains good relationships with people when he is playing games. So I think JC is a perfect singer.

Although some people said he is not as good as before. I think he’s still the best, because as example his previous album. In the past, people think it’s very bad, after several years his success proved that he is leading the trend.
