 Jay
Chou World Tour 2008 Mohegan Sun Arena Concert
 During
the winter season, birds migrate south of the globe to return to its colder
climates. However, on December 21st, 2008, a special specie by the name
of Jay Chou
was the exception and flew west for his World Tour 2008 Concert at the
Mohegan Sun Arena.
Kicking off the show with an eye-catching purple suit and a slew of bird
feathers attached to his back, the crowd of almost 10,000 went wild at
the first sight of Jay. Throughout the 2-hour-plus concert, he won the
audience with his charm, wit and performances of songs including, Golden
Armor, Silence, Rainbow, Snowlike Hair, Listen to Mom’s Words and
Black Humor.
During the show, Jay found numerous ways to display his appreciation for
his fans. Some lucky concertgoers got souvenirs from the man himself when
he threw his nunchucks and Chinese yo-yo to the seating area. Indeed,
this could have caused some major bruising on several heads, but would
one really complain about getting hit by the King of Mandopop? Jay then
went the extra mile and made the attempt to greet fans offstage. Although
he did tell the audience politely how he was a bit worried about his safety,
Jay held his head high and braved the frenzy he was about to create. It
was not a surprise to see a landslide of people take this opportunity
to touch (or – for the diehard female fanatics – a taste) of
Jay. Security guards eventually had to usher him back onstage, but on
a serious note – thumbs up to Jay for the effort!
Nan Quan Mama made a special appearance and performed several hit songs
including, What Can I Do. Lara looked cuter than ever in her red tunic
dress, and fans went crazy when Yu Hao of Nan Quan Mama teamed up with
Jay to perform the piano battle scene from the movie, Secret, starring
Jay as the lead actor.
Towards the end of the concert, a special video message from international
superstar Jet Li
made its way onto the Jumbotron. He expressed his admiration for Jay’s
ability to “combine traditional Chinese culture with pop music,”
and even called him “everyone’s idol.” Jay Chou may not
be known in all corners of this world, but he did get all the grandparents,
children and friends of all ages in the Mohegan Sun Arena on their feet
swaying their hands in the air and enjoying the glowing presence of this
popstar.
Earlier this year, Jay released his 9th studio album, Capricorn, featuring
the hit songs Rice Aroma and Snake Dance. This disc broke his previous
record of pre-order sales, with more than 90,000 copies ordered.
Jay Chou is indeed a fly specie, so would it be too much to ask him for
him to migrate here every season?
