Boy, little did that T. S. Eliot know how true his line "April is the cruellest month..." is so true. Some work place shenanigans by a vicious chinaman had upset me tremendously... then as I was wondering why some people can be so unkind, thoughtless and just downright cruel, I saw Jolin Tsai's two brillaint music videos: "Real Man" and "Arrogant". Jolin, God bless her little soul, took my mind off my troubles!
Jolin is a Taiwan lass and a hardcore pop princess. You know that she is in it (i.e. the music industry) -- she is in it for the love of it. She loves the pop confectionery and she deliriously delivers her manufactured pop songs with relish!
The music videos are solid eye candy -- she is more interested in keeping with the physically trying leg splits than trying to lip sync to the song. And that is perfectly fine with me.
As for Jolin herself, she is unremarkable looking -- but her passion for pop is undeniable! She is the real deal. If she was not in the pop music business, she would simply not exist, I think.
(Britney Spears, on the other hand, is in pop because there is nothing else she is good at. As for Lady Gaga, she is in the business because it seems like fun... there are no long term prospects for Gaga, except as a songwriter of hit songs.)
