Jolin Tsai (蔡依林) at MGM Grand Macao Grand Opening

At Tuesday night's MGM Grand Macao's Opening Party, they also had a headline performer.  We were all in the back corner of the hall on this balcony thing, so at first I didn't realize who it was:

火曜日夜、マカオのMGMグランドマカオカジノの開館パーティで特別演じるがありました.始また時誰を知りませんでした：

Then Pat told me who it was.  It was Taiwanese pop star Jolin Tsai (蔡依林)!  Oh wow,  that must have cost a lot... she just won theGolden Melody Awards' Best Female Singer this year.

I took some pictures and of course switched to recording video.  I realized it wasn't super crowded in the front (I don't think the average casino gala party attendee is a big Jolin fan), so I eventually pushed my way up to the front.  Check out my video.

パト君から誰を聞きました：ジョリン・ツァイ(蔡依林)でした。彼女は台湾の最近一番人気女ポープスター。もちろんビデオを撮った。見てください！

Not bad!

If only I had my 7x zoom camera, I could have gotten an even better one. ;-)

Anyway, it was a cool suprise and I'm glad I got it on camera.    I have to say though, as a hardcore Hamasaki Ayumi fan,  I have heard a lot of stuff about how Jolin Tsai has been copying Ayu's style for many years ( here's a pretty damning mountain of evidence to enjoy).  But of course Ayu takes inspiration from other artists like Madonna as well, so I suppose you can't hold it against Jolie too much... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery after all...

But now that I've seen them both perform with my own eyes...  definitely no comparison.  :-P

良くインタネトで聞けます：「ジョリンは浜崎あゆみのコーピーです」（ 証拠物件)。実はあゆみとマドンナも同じ物が有るん。。。　　でも今ジョリンのライブの上演を見たん、 同日の談ではない！！！

我是 濱崎步,看到她的音樂會好多次.這個mgm演以後,我可以決然說:蔡依林比濱崎步不如!!!
