Hey Guys, so a lot of you have been asking us to check out Jolin Tsai, who we recently found out is known as the Queen of Cpop. We've heard of her before, but we've actually never heard her music so we took today to check it out. She just came out with a new album called Ugly Beauty 怪美的 which is also the name of this song.
It was really interesting because listening to her Ugly Beauty Song and doing our jolin tsai ugly beauty mv reaction made us dive into a topic of conversation that we didn't expect to (we thought it'd be a fun and jokes cpop reaction hahaha) I guess that's what you can expect from Jolin Tsai who's known for pushing the boundaries. She also performed at MAMA! We definitely really enjoyed her UGLY BEAUTY MV!
Incidentally, we checked out some stuff on her online afterwards and here's a snippet you might find interesting:
Jolin Tsai is generally considered the Queen of Chinese Pop for a variety of reasons: she’s been going strong since ’99 (just like a certain other Living Legend, and a certain other First Love - legends only), releasing critically acclaimed albums, garnering international attention, topping the charts and - perhaps most relevant to me and my readership of 12 gays - speaking out as an ally to the LGBTQ community for years. Gay icon? Oh, very much so.
Also, apparently this video with its strong message was also meant to silence her critics and empower:
Jolin demonstrates all of the ugliness and hypocrisy of society’s Impossible Standards of Beauty in the (ironically gorgeous) visual, opting for the right amount of campy hilarity - vomiting up likes and reaction emojis! The court’s slogan (“In Beauty We Trust”)! - and glossy pop fierceness while tackling critics of her weight in paparazzi photos, her diet, her proportions and everything in between.
“I used to be called fat, seafood sauce, squid, my facial features were called strange…when I was walking down the street during that time, when people looked at me, I would think that everyone hated me. At that time, although I seemed to be fine on the surface, in fact, my heart was already very unhappy. The cover of the album actually intends to tell everyone that I have overcome this, so you can too, I think I am very brave,” she said during the album’s press conference this week.
It's interesting because you rarely expect this from someone as big as Jolin Tsai. You think because she's famous and everything, she doesn't deal with her own insecurities and problems but we all have something that bugs us, and we all have something that troubles us. We really respect her for bringing these to light and being open about it. It's really inspiring for us.
今天我們要看蔡依林的怪美的. 希望你們會喜歡我們的怪美的反應. 我們覺得這首歌很好聽, 還有有一個很重要,很深奧的意義. 我們是CantoMando,一些老外/華裔 depends on what you consider us lol.
