Pls react to Mamamoo Moonbyul's newest song " Eclipse"
Jolin became my fav Taiwanese artist last year when I started to learn mandarin and needed some good music to help me in this process. She's unique, I've never seemed someone portraiting critics to not just society in general, but especially Asian society like she does. She's also a great LGBTQIAP+ supporter, which makes me feel validated as a bi person, you need to check out her song and mv 'Womxnly' (玫瑰少年). Thanks for the reaction, I love you all so much!
Try listening Rainie Yang too, she's really talented singer and dancer too
I SEE JOLIN TSAI AND I CLICK. SHE IS SUCH A QUEEN I LOVE HER SO MUCH🥺🥺❤❤❤

Shado Vao this is the link czcams.com/video/KhHfi7jYZa4/video.html
OH YES! Definitely.
哇嗚 居然在這裡看到我們的皇后❤️
謝謝你們注意到她的努力,她在台灣深受我們的喜愛,在亞洲算是非常重要的一個音樂創作者。
The image that apears at the court was a picture they used in an article saying that she had stopped caring about herself and that she had gained weight so asian standers are extreme. I think my favorite part is that at the end she hugs the judge because at the end its all her
Yes she was always bashed or body shamed when she was younger but now I can feel she has grown to like herself more as she aged
The power that Jolin holds. She’s been active in the industry since the late 90s and still killing it today. Plus she hasn’t aged a day since then. She’s I believe, 39 now.
React to Jolin Tsai “Lady In Red” the MV is literally like a movie. I was usually only into KPOP but now after listening to jolin tsai i like cpop as well!!! She’s so pretty and talented :)
YES!! Literally my favorite MV from her
If only theo could see the lyrics for her songs...
I remember there's English subtitle in it if my memory isn't wrong ~ XD
I’m a big fan I’m from Taiwan!!🇹🇼 love you guys soooo much💜💜💜
Jolin Tsai is the best, you guys need to check out more form her.
Have you ever watched her MV "Play" "Lady In Red" and "The Great Artist"? All her MV are so amazing! Jolin is a Taiwanese🇹🇼 artist, Queen Of Pop in Asia👑!!! (Some of her MV has English sub, please hit the CC Button😁)
She is Taiwanese queen and she also suports LGBT by her music like "Fantasy" "
We're All Different, Yet The Same ""
Womxnly".Have to see the lyrics.
Sending my love from Taiwan.
Jolin had been critisized for body, weight, ugly face etc. over the years, she decided to use this song to tell everybody I'm beautiful in my own way which represents "Ugly Beauty" in her standard.
she's 40s now. lmao still gorgeous af.
I’m from Hong Kong🇭🇰 and I love Jolin. Can’t believe you guys created a video for her😍I really enjoyed it
OMG!!!You react to Jolin😭😭😭I'm so surprised.. She is my favorite singer!

Jolin is one of the best artist of all time. You guys need to know more about her, and all her contribution to the fight and the visibility of the LGBT community in Asia, specifically in countries as conservative like China, Taiwan and Thailand. She have a 2 decades career and know as a legend in these countries, because she is a incredible performance and presence. Let me recommend two live performances of her: Jolin Tsai - Play live MAMA and Jolin Tsai love MTV 2017. Thank u for this react and sorry for the English mistakes. 💜🇧🇷🇧🇷
China's not conservative, the most popular gay dating app in the world is from China.
She is the queen of C pop. Top female singer among 🇨🇳🇹🇼🇭🇰
Can't believe you are reacting to Jolin Tsai😭😭😭 I love her. Here you have some Jolin's songs suguestions :

Big fan from Taiwan 🇹🇼
YES,Jolin!!!!!
Omg you guys reacted to Jolin Tsai!
"I don't know exactly what she is singing."
Anyone who want to recommend Jolin's MV please remember to mention that the MV has English lyrics subtitle.
This music video is about her story of her life as a singer.It’s meaningful to her and all her fans.She was criticised by people about her face her body and even her voice. Then she overcame it all and being a international superstar now,she’s still gorgeous and glamorous at the age of 40!
2015 MAMA --- jolin play
I've been a fan of Jolin since 2007 actually, glad yall reacted to her! She has a ton of interesting MVs especially off of her most recent album, I think notably Wxmanly and Lady in Red; and most of her more recent MVs are subbed on her official channel. She's also been a vocal supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, if you want to check out an older MV I'd recommend Fantasy. ♥
I always love her messages, she always delivers hard
You guys should react to Play by Jolin Tsai! It’s so unique and catchy! 💯
OMG I'm so happy you guys react to Jolin!
She is the popstar of taiwan and china!! You should defo react to more of her! 😍😍
Oh my god
she come from Taiwan
and she is a fantastic singer
I can’t believe this happened. Jolin’s discography is impeccable
Yeyyyyy, Jolin Tsai is such a wonderful artist!
Fun Fact, that pink and white dress she wore at the end of the music video she wore previously and people and critics hated it and ran her through tabloids, so I appreciate that middle finger by choosing to wear it again for this video.
🤗🤗🤗
Here's a breakdown of the music video (hang on, it's gonna be long):
Basically the music video was a reflection of her own journey and past experiences. How she spent years fighting off criticism AND her inner demons. Jolin has been in the industry since the late 90's, right off the bat (her debut), people were calling her ugly, making fun of her chubby cheeks. Jolin's appearance has always been a topic of discussion and has always been her weak spot. When she later skyrocketed into stardom and eventually grew out of her baby fat, paparazzis then shifted their focus and were calling her out for her stomach fat (at the start of the video, in the court scene, the prosecutor was showing a pic of her stomach fat as a piece of "evidence" for her "crime"). The court room scenes symbolizes her being "judged" and how a person is treated like a criminal when they are not fitting to societal beauty standards.
The restaurant scene where she is forced to eat plain and bland veggies was actually a real diet plan she went through in the past (from being called "fat" all the time). She'd had to eat veggies dipped and "washed" in a bowl of water (to get rid of any grease or sauce), and was only feeding on apples and greens everyday (unbalanced diet). She has once worn that white and pink dress at 4:42 to a red carpet event before and was mocked by the public for her poor fashion taste, saying how she looked like she was in a squid/cuttlefish costume. Notice how she's actually half squid in that scene, making fun of it. Then there's the plastic surgeon who's criticizing her face and trying to mold her into "perfection" by making her into a statue. And the circus scene where she's a puppet on strings. That's to symbolize how she was constantly being controlled by the media, the public and the people around her. She had no say in her own body or appearance.
The entire video is making references to all the criticism she has received throughout her career, and how those negative comments created her inner demons. She confined to her inner demons at first but eventually learned how to fight them off and get rid of them (the scenes where they all explode into glitter). And notice how the judge, the surgeon, the waitress etc was all played by herself. It's to symbolize that the person who judged Jolin the most was in fact herself. She was her biggest demon, she was her biggest critic, she was her biggest judge. All of it was just in her head. And she's come to realization that it's unnecessary. And she's saying "fuck it" to the criticism and how she's "ugly" (maybe in the eyes of others) but actually beautiful in her own eyes. She has now grown into a confident woman, no longer letting her self esteem be affected by others. And no longer letting herself be her biggest enemy and critic.
Message of the song: Fuck what other people think, Imma be myself, love myself, and I AM beautiful.
Jolin Tsai has been in music industry for 20 years, her latest album Ugly Beauty has nominated for a lot of awards and the album won album of the year, in 2019 she became the second female artist with the most best selling singles in Taiwan and as of February 2020 she became the first and only female artist in Taiwan with the most best selling singles and albums, on Spotify she became the first Taiwanese singer with the most streamed of all time, btw during pre-order of Ugly Beauty limited edition album it went outsold within a minute only! Her Ugly Beauty tour was outsold and got listed as the biggest budget tour by a Taiwanese singer also since the tour was helped by the same production as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Katy Perry, short of story: Jolin Tsai is the queen of Mandarin pop
YESSSS Jolin Tsai! I hope you react to her other songs!

I’m from Hong Kong🇭🇰 and I love Jolin. Can’t believe you guys created a video for her😍I really enjoyed it. I recommend “Womxnly”. The meaning, the story and the lyrics of the song are amazing
Please do a reaction video on Jolin Tsai "I'm Not Yours" or "Womxnly"
Thanks for reacting to Jolin!!! She is Asia’s diva and she is vry international in terms of music and dancing and etc. Pls react to her another song which is called Play ! It is great too! Thanks again!!
ASIA QUEEN!!!!!
please react to her“Lady in red” and"the great artist",she is amazing
My Queen Jolin
Omg!! I didnt expect this! You guys are reacting to a chinese song and it's Jolin Tsai!!!!! This made me happy!!! 🥰🥰 Also this has an english subtible. Didn't clicked that caption 😜
Jolin Tsai!!!!! YEEEEEES!! :D ♥ Thank you! All of her MV's have English subs!
Her whole album ''Ugly beauty'' is one of the best Asian albums ever made and she won many awards for it!
She made MV's for most of the songs. I highly advise you to watch ''Lady in red'' (it's like a thriller movie but in 3 minutes, it's spooky), ''Hubby'' (MV celebrates the Hong Kong drama movies during 80's-90's - the golden age - it's very funny) as well as ''Romance'' (heart breaking MV of the romance that it just wasn't meant to be - it's heart breaking). Oh, and if you're into dancing ''Womxnly'' is a video for you (the song celebrates love, identity and LGBTQ+ people - the song was inspired by and written for a boy who was abused and murdered for being gay, there is also a documentary about it.)
Finaly! Please react to The Great Artist, Fantasy, Play and Im Not Yours 💓
Jolin Tsai is amazing. btw this did have English subtitles if you wanted to go back and have a read.
Like how some of them had recommended, please check out Jolin Tsai's "I'm Not Yours".
It's a collaboration with JPop queen Namie Amuro before she retired and it's a great production. :)
I've seen this video so many times, but I was so distracted by Jolin that just now I finally noticed the dog 🐕 such a good dog 🥰
Thank you for reacting to Jolin's video. There is always an English caption of her hit songs. Please do turn it on and please please please do search for her other awesome MVs. I bet you will enjoy them as much as this one. (And don't forget to turn on the English caption!)
Im a big fan of y'all and Im from Taiwan !!!!!!

I’m Not Yours
The Great Artist
Lady In Red
Life Sucks
We’re All Different, Yet The Same
Butterfly
Real Man

This song is about making peace with herself. All the images you see in the video are the criticism and insecurities she has dealt with over the 2 decades she has become an artist.
The clip is showing her past of her career (like the circus scene) and self criticism. For example like fasting, plastic surgery, over pressure on perfection that keep yourself working too much. At the same time, it is hard to judge beauty/ugly which the first scene starting from a court (judge and defendant are her)
I am so happy to see your reaction to Taiwanese music! What a pleasure and am pleased to recommend more if needed.
Queen Jolin!
The dog so cute 😍😍
There are a few other Jolin's songs (music videos) that I really recommend you guys to check it out!
1. Play
2. Womxnly
3. We are all different yet the same
Play is definitely a very interesting music video to watch as it explores and criticizes various social phenomenon that have become abnormal in our societies
As for Womxnly and We are all different yet the same, these two songs surround the LGBTQ+ theme and indeed she's one of the pioneers in the Asian music industry to create music in such topic (that's why these two songs are considered as the "LGBTQ+ anthem" in Taiwan. ) There is a documentary produced by Jolin and her team back in 2014 for her concert, the documentary is also called "We are all different yet the same". this documentary talks about the story of Yeh Yung-chih who was bullied for his perceived effeminate behavior and was found dead in school’s washroom at the age of 15.
and the song "womanly" is inspired by this incident.
Really hope you guys can check these above 3 songs in the future, I look forward to it!!
(since her videos titles are mainly in chinese, if help is needed to locate the documentaries - please let me or other Jolin's fans know, we will def be happy to help you out! Cheers!)
btw, the intro music is so sick! i really like it. keep up the good work
turn on subtitles will help you understand the lyrics better!
Jolin is very influential in Taiwan
Y'all need to see PLAY by Jolin Tsai !
