In this KTV Time we talk about the one and only 周杰伦 (zhōujiélún), or Jay Chou as he's known outside the Sinosphere. Those who caught "The Green Hornet" might recognize him as the "Chinese guy" starring opposite Seth Rogan. Hailing from Taiwan, Jay Chou is about as big a pop star as they come in China, and for good reason. His work covers a bunch of different styles, from pop to rap and even traditional Chinese music. We'll talk about some of these songs and one of his first big hits, "Starbright" (星晴, xīngqīng).
