Is there nothing he can't do? I think he's done just about everything!

I <3 his songs, cuz the unique sounds & lyrics, in some of his songs, he uses erhu, zither, flute, harp, etc. Great music to listen, graceful harmony (^_^)b.
He can play many instruments: guitar, bass guitar, piano, violin, cello, guzheng, keyboards, pipa, erhu, harmonica, drums. Great musician!
His songs are lovely, the unique blend of Chinese & Western song: R&B, Rock, Pop, Classics! I even repeat the songs so many times till i can sing them.

He can compose all his songs, acting, directing. Indeed a multi-talented artist!

Here are some of the songs that i likes:

Jay Chou - Qi Li Xiang (Common Jasmine Orange)




Jay Chou - Chrysanthemum Terrace (Ju Hua Tai) [OST. Curse of The Golden Flower]




Jay Chou - Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia) [OST. Fearless] Tiān ā! He even can sing in a funny way! xD




Jay Chou - The Tea Grandpa Makes (Ye Ye Pao De Cha)




Jay Chou - Qing Hua Ci (Chinese Flower Pot)
