Jay Chou debuted in 2000, and then... It's been red until today. So what year is the year we are talking about here?
Let me first take a screenshot and you can see what glory Jay Chou has achieved.
In terms of lyrics, composition and singing, it can be said that he is the strongest Chinese singer of this century, far from one. Therefore, if you have to say who can compete with him, then the answer is really not found. Some people may nominate Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung and other four kings, but to tell the truth, after Jay Chou's debut, only from the performance of the music scene, they have no way to compare with Jay Chou. More is the achievement of film and television dramas.
However, if only from the perspective of popularity and hype heat, those who can have similar influence with Jay Chou in a certain period of time are probably:
Jolin Tsai from 2003 to 2007, "Look at My 72 Changes" and so on. And at that time, he also had a very close cooperation with Jay Chou, to the point of "there must be Cai in the week".
Lin Junjie from 2004 to around 2008. "Jiangnan", "Cao Cao", etc., were once also very influential singers.
Li Yuchun from 2005 to 2010, of course, is not so much a song as it is to say that The name of Brother Chun is a little louder...
TFBOYS since 2013. At least in terms of social influence, it can still have a fight with Jay Chou today.

Compare with Jay Chou. Only among the new four kings. Zhou, Wang, Tao, Lin. Among them, Zhou zicheng is an echelon. Strength s+, Asian king + musician. It can be seen that at least compared with Jay Chou, pop singers + music talents are eligible.
Wang.
Born in Pericles College, received systematic singing and music training, has an international vision, "Big City Little Love", "Change Yourself", "Flower Field Mistake" to maintain popularity, "Gai Shi Yinxiong", "Bamboo Forest" combined with European and American styles, too strong, but not popular with the mainstream, "Descendants of the Dragon" combined with Chinese hip hop, so the second.
Tao Zhe.
Young singers who began to use a lot of R&B techniques in their works very early launched a mature R&b work, "Love, Very Simple". The album "Black Willow Ding", but later, you all know it.
Jj
Born in a musical family, a song "Jiangnan" is popular all over the country, "Cao Cao" tries to ancient style rock, "She says" and "Cultivating Love" are songs with extremely high singing skills, very hard, the list of recent songs, arrangements, and compositions has gradually increased the number of names, good singing skills, walking CDs. Undoubtedly, the king of this, with a very young age, the fire spread all over the country, has a good influence in Asia (24 years old), the last time it seems to be such a fire seems to be Teresa Teng (less than twenty).
The albums "Fantasia", "Octave Space", and "Ye Huimei" were so high in the same period that other singers walked around. With the achievements of popular (localization) R&b, the two major founding schools of Chinese style, far higher than other singers. Direct achievement as a leader in the Chinese music scene.
And the style and output of the work are far better than other singers, Chinese style, country, rap, blues, social themes, taking the road that others have not taken, or walking early, walking mature, and are very successful, which is the key. "Blue and White Porcelain", "Chrysanthemum Terrace", "Dongfeng Broken" Chinese Style Trilogy, "In the Name of the Father", "The Seventh Chapter of the Night", "Nocturne" is very high in the Dark Series, "Huo Yuanjia", "The General", "The National Essence of the Compendium of Materia Medica", "Terraces" Environmental Protection, "Coward" Anti-Drug, "Daddy I'm Back" Domestic Violence, "Snail" Inspirational, and Can Do Housework Exotic and Literary "Ninja" Shogunate, "Shanghai 1943" Republic of China, "Ibsburg", "Fort William", can write humanities is not bad, the key is that they are all very good.
And it can also be exported to other singers, and songs written for other singers can give themselves an album and win awards. Especially Jolin Tsai, it can be said that there is no Jolin Tsai without Jay Chou, focusing on the classic "Rewind" and "Prague Square".
Write "Elimination" for Eason Chan, Li Jian's "Dao Ma Dan", Zhang Huimei, "If You Also Hear" and so on.
It is difficult to imagine a young singer, Chang Hong music scene for 15 years, Crush, Wang Lihong, Tao Zhe, Lin Junjie, Liang Jingru, Xie Tingfeng, Xu Song, tfboys, Wai Yao Zhan exo, Kwon Ji Long, who has escaped and Cui Jian, Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng in their respective fields to create an era of people to compare, Asia compare only Hamasaki Bu and Utada Duoguang, and may also have to go to Europe and the United States.
Imagine that only Jay Chou is gone.
Confronting Jay Chou is a big problem! There is no way to succinctly weigh popularity and sales! Before reading this article first, you must first have a mind and only talk about music. Here are two men who could compete with Jay Chou at that time, Tao Zhe and Wang Lihong. Tao Zhe,
The godfather of music, some even call him the god of Chinese music. In 1997, Tao Zhe released his first album and was destined to change the Chinese music scene. In fact, many people are saying that Tao Zhe is a Western pure R&B, I think this label is not good, Tao Zhe's musical genes actually have a strong Chinese flavor, "Seventeen years old", "Town Girl", "i'm ok" and other songs are not consciously using the traditional Chinese five-tone style, so Chinese R&B has laid the foundation in Tao Zhe music, can only say that Jay Chou's team marketing brain is better, Ajay Chou who is labeled with Chinese R&B did quickly open the market, this we have wood to find a little, Jay Chou in the early days was in line with the trend opened by Tao Zhe, and Wang Lihong also released the R&B positioning album "Rotation" directly after Tao Zhe. Tao Zhe's music laid a solid foundation for the birth of Jay Chou, why do you say so? Let's first listen to Tao Zhe's two albums before Jay Chou's debut. "Seventeen Years Old" and "WangchunFeng" gave Jay Chou the inspiration of modern Chinese style, Jay Chou also praised the great liking of "WangchunFeng", and the Chinese style works such as "A Laugh in the Sea" and "Boys Should Be Self-Reliant" that should be popular in the 90s are very different, and the Chinese charm and R&B fashion rhythm can be so compatible, which is the origin of Jay Chou's implementation of "Chinese style".
Wang
High-quality idol, in the music technology skills I deeply admire him, his qualifications and appearance is as high, piano and violin double training, guitar and jazz drums and other instruments are proficient, eighteen martial arts in one. With the same Western classical music skills as Jay Chou, it is also a point of fun for Western pop music, jazz, blues, R&B, rock and roll are very Western! Secondly, Wang Lihong's singing skills are probably the most powerful places, and from a professional point of view, it is almost flawless, and it is a strength that Tao Zhe and Jay Chou cannot match. Wang
The most noteworthy is the chineseked out (Chinese hip hop), a variant of the integration of Chinese musical instruments into hiphop, which does have its influence on the implementation of Chinese music in the world. Chinked out was born under the influence of Jay Chou's Chinese style, one for commercial marketing purposes, the other to label it brand new, but chinked out is really not a gimmick, chinked out trilogy "The Sun and Moon in the Heart", "Heroes of the World", "Eighteen Martial Arts" is Wang Lihong's peak work, which laid an important position in the Chinese music scene, and is on par with Jay Chou in terms of popularity and works, which can be described as Wang Lihong. Suddenly understand why LiHong called himself the second brother, hahaha! Finally, I will make a summary and discuss the three great gods who have a great influence on the Chinese language. When you understand the music and historical background of Tao Zhe, Jay Chou and Wang Lihong for a round, you will definitely put Tao Zhe in the first place, first of all, the advanced nature of his music is unparalleled, each album is surpassing itself, and even redefining the various forms of Chinese music, followed by the ideological nature of his music, the greatest concern for society is to criticize it, "Hate dream of the Red Chamber", "Ghost", "***" and other songs are recommended for everyone to listen! Speaking of the historical background, everyone will definitely say about Tao Zhe's derailment, in fact, fans who understand and listen to Tao Zhe's songs understand one thing, not to bother is not Tao Zhe, although I do not advocate, but also have no right to oppose, do not believe that you can listen to Tao Zhe's "One Night Stand" "Don't Go Home Today", Tao Zhe is perfect in music production skills, plus a good voice, with its delicate emotional expression, listening to him singing will really be deeply moved by him, most people call him a singer sent by God. Jay
It is also a lingering idol in my youth, this is his strength, his music and youth campus, family and other mainstream culture are deeply integrated, "Simple Love", "Grandma", "Dandelion Convention", "Snail", "Listen to Mother's Words" are our good memories, but also our life guidance that we will never forget. Another part is also an important factor that pushes Jay Chou to the world, that is, patriotism! Chinese style is the key to Jay Chou's patriotism, "East Wind Broken" and "Hair Like Snow" only let you experience the beauty of Chinese style, "Dragon Fist" and "Double Stick" will arouse your national pride and patriotic blood. Finally, Jay Chou's strength is to represent the mainstream culture of an era, cool words are the characteristics of that era, we pursue personality propositions, imaginative music is deeply loved by us, "My Territory", "Half Orcs", "Ninjas", "In the Name of the Father" are all gods, this kind of imaginative style We call him Jay Chou style, Jay Chou is not a genius who is a genius. Why Wang Lihong is ranked third, is that Wang Lihong lacks independent creativity, he is the earliest debut, the most hair albums, the strongest ability! But in music, he has been following the steps of the first two, but in terms of overall quality, Wang Lihong is very high, and pushing Chinese music into the international trend is destined to be an indispensable part of the Chinese music scene.
