The highest recognized award in the Chinese music scene is the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, and the finale of the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards is called the "Best Singing Album of the Year Award" (later renamed the Best Chinese Album in the Singing Category).
Many singers and musicians, the most want to win the award, is this grand finale award.
So do you know at what age the winners of this grand finale award have won the prize?
It took me some time to do the math:
This award, the youngest winner in history is Jay Chou, who won the award only 6 months after his debut. In addition, the third youngest winner is also Jay Chou, and the fourth youngest winner is also Jay Chou.
In addition, Jay Chou is the only one in the history of the Golden Melody Awards to win the grand finale award, and the only one to win the grand prize 4 times.
More importantly, all of Jay Chou's albums are independently produced by him and all composed.
No one in the Chinese music scene is more worthy of the phrase "debut is the peak", and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius.

Ah, that's a question.
Let me tell you a story.
In the past, in the first year of high school, a classmate asked me a physics problem, I looked at it twice, the first glance, well the conventional problems were done, the second eye, oh is a boy, so I pushed myself will not. Then this classmate really thought that even I would not, and thought of another lesson, telling me that this problem is too difficult, and it is estimated that the teacher will not necessarily ....
I think that was the worst time a physics teacher was hacked.
Of course, there was also my fault.
I just didn't bother to answer the boy's question, so I let the teacher be hacked once.

In the same way, this logic can be applied to your problem.
It is no exaggeration to say that Jay Chou is the enlightenment teacher of most of the post-80s and post-90s musicians, that is, the mainstream musicians now.
You now feel that the great young musician, Deng Ziqi is Jaylen's number one fan, Xu Song, Wang Sutaki, Xu Liang are greatly influenced by Jay Chou's music, Hua Chenyu also said that Jay Chou is his idol, and Li Ronghao is an old Jie fan.
If you look at exo's four sons, three of the four are Jaylen iron fans, and the other one is also greatly affected.
If you look at all kinds of rappers in China, eight out of ten are Jay Chou fans.
There are also various film and television stars, and the last time Jay Chou's sunset red list incident, it has highlighted Jay Chou's influence.
Looking at it again, the music bigwigs like Zhou Huajian and Li Zongsheng have no hidden love for Jay Chou, and Jacky Cheung also said that Jay Lun is one of the musicians he admires the most.
Look at the musicians of the same period, like Jay Chou, who is evergreen in the music world, and how many new songs are well known to everyone?
③
I am post-95, I often tell my friends that we have not actually experienced the most brilliant years of Jay Chou, he is more like the god of 85 and 90, and we are just living in the era when he has become a god.
It's a pity.
It will also cause many people not to understand Jay Chou's music, thus thinking that he is exaggerated.
Is this really the case?
I would like to say that the musician you listen to may be more like the bully in the class, and Jay Chou is more like a teacher.
Jay Chou has influenced too many musicians, and more importantly, he has made the Chinese music scene truly become the Chinese music scene, rather than the previous cover that only relies on Japanese songs.
His rap, not copying Europe and the United States, removed the four-tone tone of the Chinese, made the rhyme more fluent, and wrote positive energy into the lyrics, which is unprecedented.
His Chinoiserie, before him, there are only a few Chinese-style songs, and after him, it can be more than four figures a year.
His Zhou love songs have accompanied the youth of generations of people.
In the past, we called it the Little Heavenly King, and then Zhou Dong, the Heavenly King, and now, Jay Chou can be called:
④
Ma Wei said: People in that era, who have not heard of Jay Chou, do not believe you ask Song Dongye, ask who who, who is like this, who said did not listen, that is to pretend x.
The music circle has a chain of contempt, but the only musician who can unify the musical aesthetics of so many circles is Jay Chou.
It is no exaggeration to say that Jay Chou is the touchstone of musical aesthetics.
You will feel that everyone listens to Jay Chou, but people with different musical perceptions hear Jay Chou differently.
At this point, I feel even more that Jay Chou is underestimated.
In the eyes of the public in recent years, Jay Chou is "chest muscles" and "say good not cry".
Often see a confession balloon into the pit, say good not to cry into the pit, I believe in the pit so much, and even now it is estimated that there will be a mojito into the pit immediately, these comments, there is no lack of evil and fun, but to tell the truth, these songs are indeed Jay Chou to give 05, 10 after the business card.
Too many post-00s (especially after 05) have never heard Jay Chou's previous albums, do not know songs such as "In the Name of the Father" and "The Last Battle", and even they will feel that "Tornado" is sung by Deng Ziqi, "Double Truncated Stick" is sung by Hua Chenyu, "Half Orc" is practiced by idols to sing fire, "Listen to Mother's Words" is brought to fire by small question marks???
Alas, the ignorant are not guilty.
From this point of view, Jay Chou is precisely a musician who is underestimated by the public.
Because Jay Chou has its own heat, too many people like it, so many people know that Zhou Dong is the King of Heaven, a very powerful predecessor, but few people Zhou Dong is strong where?
On this point, Baidu Encyclopedia writes everything down, and I know that various analyses also write everything out, so I won't say more.
If you really like Zhou Dong's music, you should listen to different types of music, music from different countries, and music aesthetics, and you will know why Zhou Dong is powerful in the end.
Instead of seeing "Summer Wind" on fire, Wow said that it was Jay Chou composing ah.
It turned out that he was really so powerful.
⑤
To sum up, never underestimate the teacher.
In other words, the influence of the godfather of music.
The really powerful things are introverted, and only half a bucket of water is easy to float.
A lot of the music you listen to now hasn't been precipitated by history.
Many musicians can also be short-lived.
However, after reading this answer, first listen to Jay Chou's first ten albums.
You know why it's all being preached.
Because it's really tm.
ps:
Let me explain a little, comment on the old friends after 00 expressed grievances, saying that I am black after 00, not at all, I am also half a 00, how can I black myself haha. But the fact is that when Jay Chou came out of "Fantasia", many post-00s were not born, or a few years old, and indeed did not experience the time when Jay Chou became famous to the peak.
Some people say that they listened to Elvis's hahaha in childhood, and I want to say that this is not contradictory to what I said.
Because Jaylen's classics have been circulating, even the music of twenty years ago is not outdated until now.
As I made in the comments section, it's like watching Harry Potter all at once and catching up with the first harry potter to the last. Both of them have watched Harry Potter, but the experience is completely different.
But this kind of experience and feeling is sometimes not something we can choose.
It's possible that since you can remember, Harry Potter has been more finished, so you think it looks good, and you can only watch it at once.
No one will laugh at you for watching Harry Potter all at once, and likewise, no one will laugh at the fact that you may have heard Jay in less than a month to hear Jay's Bedside Story.
You are already much better than other friends, and many people will miss the classic because of their age.
So it's not a question of black or no, I'm just objectively expressing the difference in Jaylen's influence on different age groups.
You can look at some of the comments of some older brothers and sisters in the comments section, all warm, at that time, every summer, they are waiting for Jaylen's new album.
Now, for them, Jaylen's new song carries his and their youth.
This feeling is different.
Some children can go and enjoy previous albums and go find old songs to listen to, but not everyone can do this. It is because not everyone will be like this, so there are people like the subject who are puzzled and why Jay Chou is so confused.
And what I want to say is that after 00, 05 or even 10, you are the best. It is precisely because of the existence of you little Jay fans that the vitality of Jaylen's musical art has been continuing.
Come on.
Listen to the song well and try to move forward.
Finally, thank you for your praise, because of you, let my answer be seen by more people.
At the beginning, there were only a few likes a day, and I even wanted to delete this answer hahaha.
So, it was you who made my answer more meaningful haha.
Oh, that's right.
