Taiwan artist Jay Chou launched his concert "Jay Chou 2010 Cross-Era Concert" at the Hong Kong Coliseum day before yesterday – the climax of the concert occurred when special guest performer Jacky Cheung appeared, drawing wild cheers from the audience. Jay took the opportunity to tell Jacky some words from his heart: apparently, back in the day, after Jay listened to Jacky’s famous hit song "Goodbye Kiss", he began to admire and worship him – at one point, he had even thought about stealing Jacky’s "Goodbye Kiss" album from the record store. He also indicated that he was able to meet a lot of girls by listening to Jacky’s songs.Jay indicated that the day of the concert was his mother’s birthday, so he asked the audience to wish his mother a Happy Birthday – then he immediately launched into the song "Listen to Mom’s Words". Then, after Jay sang one line from Jacky’s "Goodbye Kiss" as a means of introduction, the God of Songs himself appeared on the stage, eliciting screams from the audience. Jay laughed and stated: “Everyone is speechless, huh? Has everyone gone crazy with surprise yet?” Jay told Jacky that all these years, he’s had some words from the heart that he has always wanted to tell his idol face to face – that he fell in love with singing after listening to Jacky’s songs. He indicated that during his school days, all the girls loved listening to Jacky’s songs, therefore he learned to sing the songs so he could woo them. After hearing this, Jacky smiled and said: “A lot of artists have told me already that they grew up listening to my songs, so tonight you don’t have to say much about it.” [TN: haha -- typical Jacky humor: Jacky is indirectly telling Jay to stop reminding him of his age – lol]
Suddenly, Jay asked Jacky whether he’s ever ‘stolen’ anything before. Jacky replied: “If I said no, I would be lying.” Then Jay said: “As a student, I was very rebellious – of course, I’ve changed a lot now. Back in the day, I really wanted your "Goodbye Kiss" CD, however I didn’t have enough money to buy it, so I thought about stealing it from the store – unfortunately, the CD was on a very high shelf in the store and would be too difficult to steal without being noticed, so I gave up on the idea. In the end, I worked hard to save up money so I could buy it." Jacky laughed and remarked: “Wow, I didn’t realize how ‘great’ I was…guess my life wasn’t in vain!” Jay also told Jacky that his songs truly affected a lot of people: “After I sang your song "Bitter Love", I was able to get a lot of girlfriends.”
As a gift to his idol, Jay took Jacky’s song "Long Time No See" and changed the lyrics, praising his idol and expressing it was a dream come true to be able to sing with Jacky at the HK Coliseum. In the last line of the lyrics, Jay sang: “Jacky definitely needs to continue releasing new albums -- because there is only ONE God of Song: Jacky Cheung!” At the end of the segment, the two performed Jacky’s hit song "Loving You More Each Day" in Cantonese.
