I think somebody's just succeeded in dethroning Jay's position in my heart (musically)! And he is...JAM XIAO JING TENG! Lol. I hate sounding like a crazy fan but I can't help it, not after listening a voice like that. Words just cannot express how superb, fantabulous, astounding, amazing, magnificent, grand, AWESOME it is when he sings. The people from Chao Ji Xing Guang Da Dao gave him a nickname called "Black Spider" cus' of his penchant for wearing black tops during the show, but he really should be given the nickname "Black Hole" instead...every single time he sings, I get sucked into this musical utopia he created. *swoons*

On the surface, he might not be much to look at, he's kinda scrawny and he's really pale but somehow his shy disposition and that goofy smile whenever he's tickled by hosts on variety shows totally lights up the room he's in. He doesn't talk a lot, he can't express himself really well, but his response (that is if you can hammer a response outta him) is always frank, to the point. It's refreshing, especially in this day and age where celebs are always nicely packaged (usually over packaged)...Xiao Jing Teng's a totally different ball game. He breathes new life into evergreen songs like "新不了情"...he recreates them and make them his very own. And I like that about him. He's funnily cute in his own natural way, like how he covers his goofy smile with his microphone, how he stares into space at times, how he looks to his manager when he's clueless about the situation...and what I love most about him is how he sings with such passion like nothing else mattered around him on or off stage. I am moved.

I AM A FAN! \[^o^]/

Even for a pirate like me, I'd wanna pay money to buy his album. Darn I'd even pay money for him to cut an album. Please please please cut an album soon. If he becomes the spokesperson of the anti-piracy campaign I might just kick the habit of downloading stuff... XD

I first heard about his name on Yu Le Bai Fen Bai, when they did the full coverage of A-mei's concert...where they sang the duet "一眼瞬間" I was blown away, literally...it made me fall backwards and go PHWOAR! Haha a lil' exaggerated but yeap it's pretty close. So after that I went online to search for his videos through YouTube and crunchyroll (the preferred choice for lazy people) just to listen to his music again. Here's some of my favorites :
