- anyone knows any that he played? I know he played some before he's in 183 Club

his voice is the best out of all 183-ers ^^
oh and he's an ABC.. so his english is real good..

clarification by asiandramas:

Jacky is not born in America, he grew up in Vancouver, Canada. His start in the entertainment business began when he entered a singing contest in Vancouver and got a good score. He got to know some producers over there, and ended up giving up on his academics and returned to Taiwan. I'm thinking his singing is the best because he got his start as a singer first.

His family's in the bicycle business in Taiwan (so very well-to-do). His older brother is also in the company (I'm assuming he meant J-Stars) and is a producer there.

wouldnt you know it, my friend EW at my new work who translates is on leave all week. So I sent a copy of JKs latest blogg entry to JT at my old work and asked him to e-mail me back a translation He doesnt always check his e-mail everyday though

So if someone else could provide a translation in the meantime please do! otherwise I should be able to post one in a few days

What are those dates, i wonder? But I am afraid to get my hopes up I hope his wine and sushi bar is going ok That can be a very competitive industry

[tammiest]

^^ Translated. It's good news.

It's Begun... (Beginning)

The waiting is over. All of my energy, all of my capabilities... they've already been accumulated, and they're waiting for action. The year I gave myself for "soul-searching" and introspection is up, and I am returning to the stage. My work is already being planned and arranged. Everybody, continue on with me, okay?!

10/07/2008 百萬大歌星 [Bai Wan Da Ge Xing] [One Million Singers] TAPING (Those of you who haven't heard me sing in a long time-- you must come and cheer me on!... I am actually pretty nervous!!)

10/08/2008 康熙來了 [Kang Xi Lai Le] [Kang Xi Is Coming] TAPING

[DTLCT]

^ Yay! The wait is finally over!

[Mandy.sg]

You know what? I cried when I read that blog post... TEARS OF JOY ;') [look kinda weird]
will he go back to 183 or go solo??
jiayou JK we're always supporting you

[mingdee]

omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh omigosh .... a miracle is about to happen !! ....

i am taking away the pic i posted earlier at post #1001 ... and am waiting to see a new jacky!! solo or back to 183club ... let him take one step at a time .. at least we know he is going to be on stage again! yayyyyy ...!!


I bet the media would not let him off so easily so I hope he will humble himself and perhaps make an apology to his fans for his absence without giving any excuses ... I mean, he should make this a sincere one-off thing and start afresh !

[Vanadia]

i was so excited once i read Tammiests translation i rang the friend i went to Taiwan with in january on my mobile to tell her the news and used up all my credit but who cares!

I agree with you mingde i think the road back could be quite difficult for jacky He did make a very nice apology to his family and fans on his blogg when he got out of rehab but i agree i think he should briefly do so again and do everything he can to show the public and the tabloids he has reformed Some of the newspapers in taiwan can be quite vicious

i hope someone posts something from his concerts on YouTube Ill be thinking about him tomorrow night. Taipei is three hours behind Melbourne in time zone
Jia you Jacky!

[Mandy.sg]

Tammiest translation mentioned that the events are the taping right? Will the show be live or shown on another day? I shall be searching like crazy on youtube

[mingdee]

i am soooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!! .. jacky will be jacky .. and he can only get better i know ... it would be a lost to the music industry if he doesnt bounce back you know what i mean ...

go jacky go !!

[Vanadia]

is this a delay to jackys performances?

He updated his blogg and i asked my friend EW to translate and this is what she said:

"The workshop has some problems this week, that is why the notice has been delayed.
I'll let you know next time. however thanks so much for everyone's encouragement"

Can anyone figure out what that means? Does it mean he didnt sing last night? does anyone know?

[tammiest]

^^ Visited his blog to read the original message. Basically, he says that there was a problem with the filming studio for one of the shows (his Chinese is so unclear... either the SOUND for the filming studio was bad OR the filming studio of the MUSIC show was problematic). Anyway, so filming ("tong gao" = "notice for a taping or event," btw) has been delayed... but he'll let us know the new date later. And then he thanks us for our support

[DTLCT]

^ Awww...well, at least it's just temporary. (I hope it's temp!)

And his English isn't any better (aka the writing) but then again, great that he actually takes time to write us. (So I should stop being ungrateful, lol)

Thanks to tammiest once again for coming to our rescue!

[Mandy.sg]

Oh man...what about the other event?? still on right??

[mingdee]

i am soooo disappointed .... things have to happen just when jacky is bouncing back .. grrrrrrr ..

..^ Awww...well, at least it's just temporary. (I hope it's temp!)

i have always been hopeful and positive about jacky making a comeback ... yeah temp it is!

[Vanadia]

ok so what kind of thing was it that was cancelled? In tammiests translation i was unsure if TAPING meant recording or was it a place name. Now i think it meant recording

JK also asked his friends and fans who had not heard him sing for awhile to come along and cheer him on
Then there was that news about problems with the sound sytem or filming or whatever
So was it a recording studio or a television studio that maybe had a live audience as well?

the good news is that he is definitely serous and focussed on making a comeback I had wondered when he opened a wine and sushi bar and pored a lot of money into it, maybe he had decided to do that with his life instead
so now were back to waiting...

Hmm? Yeah, taping meant recording. Haha, sorry if my slang confused you

Not sure. The other show-- the one that's not KangXi-- 百萬大歌星-- that MIGHT have a live audience. You can copy-paste the characters for it into YouTube and check... there are some episodes available

the good news is that he is definitely serous and focussed on making a comeback I had wondered when he opened a wine and sushi bar and pored a lot of money into it, maybe he had decided to do that with his life instead
so now were back to waiting...

Yeah, back to "waiting"... but at least now we know that he IS coming back. And he's even got some TV program appearances lined up. So we're definitely in a better place

[mingdee]

yes i think he is definitely dead serious on making a comeback to music .. i mean, we can tell that he loves singing so much .. he was so dedicated ..so engrossed .. his singing moved people ...he sings so damn well .. he is just meant to sing ... and even if there is a little corner at his wine bar for singing it would NOT be the same .. his singing is meant for a bigger crowd ..

actually i didnt really think too much of him throwing so much money into the bar as i always thought he is so rich .. no problem at all ....

so let's just wait ..

my friend EW had a go at translating the poem on jackys blogg:

"Forgot long time ago

How we started at the beginning

Forgot long time ago

I, the one who loved you, what do I look like?

Forgot long time ago

You said you will be waiting for my mood

Forgot long time ago

You still love him


I love you

You love him

But he, who does he love?"


in my opinion a lot of canadians like to write sad love poetry...

... jacky news and pic ... he looks good though can't really see his whole face .. but still better than nothing right? hehe ..

news mentioned about how he had hurt his family especially his mum .. and his dad hasn't really forgiven him or something .. (but i am sure it's all good now, his whole family are just glad he is back home )


http://www.libertytimes.com.tw/2008/new/oc...today-show2.htm





PS : still didnt see any sign of him in those 2 variety shows which are as recent as yesterday's grrrr .. but we must be patient .

[Vanadia]

My friend EW has had a go to translating the article. Here's the gist of it:

"When his father heard the news about his having to go into compulsory rehab, his father nearly killed him"
Big Wakeup Call at Rehab Centre

As an idol singer jacky was sacked by his manager just because he made one big mistake. From very young the relationship between Jacky and his father it was nearly zero and now it is even worse. In the rehab centre every time his mother visited him she cried but he couldn't his father's forgiveness but his father did visit him once. In the centre the visitors and the inmates couldnt touch--there was a glass partition The feeling when they looked at each other but couldnt touch made him finally realise what he lost

Sudden Rise to Fame Just a Bubble

When Jacky was in 183 Club was his most popular time. he went to HK and mainland China and his career also suddenly went from the ground to the sky. But now the taste is like a bubble . When he tested postive for marijuana use, he had to spend 50 days in a rehab centre.

Jacky said, "I and another drug addict were put in one small space, eating and sleeping on the ground, and I couldnt sleep at night from tossing and turning. At the beginning of my career I wasnt that popular then after through very hard work I was famous on the stage. It's like a wave, up and down. My hope is lit is like a movie one scene at a time flashing in front of me."

Father Sad about His Taking Drugs

But in real life it will be different from a movie. but he felt sad to the core, 100% sad, once he got into the rehab centre and lay on the floor and he had a backbone infection that made it very difficult for him to lie on the floor but the most pain was his Mum's tears. She would always cry coming in and cry going out.

Jacky's parents were busy with their businesses after he was born then they sent him to a babysitter in Gaoxiong Fengshan Once he got in school he was sent to Canada to study. The relationship between him and his family was very distant even when he got into his career, even when he became successful, the relationship between him and his father was still not warm [literally: the eyes still couldnt melt]. Over the issue of his taking drugs, his father was angry and sad, and he thought his son was not a successful person and made his family lose face. The biggest pain for Jacky was he couldnt get his family's forgiveness.

Big brother's big heart made Jacky's tears pour forth

After Jacky got out of rehab Jacky went back home and his big brother went to him and gave him a big hug and a pat and said, 'Finally you've come back!" So Jacky felt his family's warmth. jacky cried and couldnt talk. Finally he found the things he had lost.
Nowadays Jk is living together with his family and is ready to start up his career again. If his father will forgive him or not, the emotion on Jks face is hard to work out the answer. 'Now its time to do something by myself but its hard work. I really, really dont want to disappoint Daddy.'

[mingdee]

Well done jacky!

I like the whole report …so proud of him .. not for his mistake but his COURAGE to reveal to the press how badly his family were affected .. like how his father ‘nearly killed him’ and still not quite sure whether his father had forgiven him and how his mother “always cry coming in and cry going out” each time she visited him at the rehab. So sad. I am also glad he did not blame his manager for being petty for sacking him phew* coz if he do that others especially people in the entertainment industry are going to look at him in a certain way. You can’t right a wrong and vice versa. Anyway hope he truly repent and be more responsible towards his family, 183club members AND his fans! . Go jacky!

The next thing now for his fans is to wait for his comeback!

ps : was he making sushi rolls for this reporter?

[Mandy.sg]

Hi Jacky fans, anyone has any idea what Jacky is doing nowadays? the thread seems quite forgotten, maybe because Jacky isnt having any new updates?

Anyway, for the past few days I've been searching on youtube the recent episodes of kang xi lai le, which was the show jacky when for filming (taping) on one of the days. But I cant seem to find it, unfortunately.

Anyone has any idea when the episode with jacky will be broadcasted? Approximation maybe? Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks <3 btw, continue supporting jacky

Mandy

[mingdee]

.... i have checked kangxi and 百万大歌星 but still no show of jacky .. strange ..

anyway life is full of pleasant surprises! .... jacky might just pop out from nowhere ..

[Mandy.sg]

yep!! i'll continue searching...this person on youtube upload super fast for kang xi episodes...he/she uploads every day xD im going to thank this person if i find the episode with jacky inside!! yay

[Vanadia]

i loved the article from the Liberty Times Thanks for posting the link Mingde Youre right He didnt blame anyone but himself and I liked the part when he said seeing his mothers tears was more painful than that infection he had that made sleeping difficult

I'm not sure that Jacky ever got to record anything for those variety shows. The problem is his blogg is not all that informative I got the idea from Tammiests explanation that maybe he never got to record anything because of the technicle problems at the studio. On his blogg he said he would let us all know if he got another chance to record I imagine those studios are all heavily booked and it might take him awhile to get another date

if anyone finds anything on YouTube tho let us all know!!!

[mingdee]

.... I imagine those studios are all heavily booked and it might take him awhile to get another date

yeah probably, they would have scheduled at least 10 episodes ahead. but what about kangxi? still no show lolzz Anyway come to think of it, the delay is just as well, since jacky hasn't make any public apology to his fans or ex colleagues yet, that Liberty Times article could be taken as his way of an apology. I am sure people would now be at least more willing to let him off and welcome him back before he can boldly go up on stage to sing again .

Hidden Text:

i dont think SDR hates him or anything. when jacky was with 183club he had his chances to sing solo, duet with mingdao, with yurong, fronting the band, appearance on tv and in events etc. it was just jacky's bits of bad behaviour that annoyed the sh*t out of SDR lolzz .

let's continue to wait!

you know...i always thought that if Jacky is willing to apologise to everyone (including SDR) SDR will definitely forgive him, although that doesnt mean he'll definitely allow him to go back to 183. but SDR knows that Jacky is very important to 183 and he should be given a chance. I believe SDR is a wise man.

[mingdee]

someone said jacky updated his blog - in chinese grrrr ... . said that after a year break he has finally return to the silver screen .. no other details given grrrr ..

i didnt check his blog since i don't read chinese

hope to see jacky real soon!

Everyone should go off and have a good cry now.
... regardless of whether or not they want to cry.

Everyone should let loose and relax now.
... regardless of whether or not they even realized they were nervous.

Everyone should try to love someone earnestly.
... regardless of whether or not they've been hurt in the past.

The world is not good; this, we all know.
No one can escape from life's trials and setbacks.
And yet, even so, I still have some dreams, and I really want them (to come true).

After resting for a year, I am finally returning to the silver screen today! I hope that I do well today. Jiayou!!

thanks for the translation, tammiest
im glad to see that jacky is so optimistic towards life...he is really happy that he had earned this chance to start anew...he is really grateful and he hopes to see everyone treat life with appreciation and happiness...thank you jacky and good luck to you...

I believe SDR is a wise man.

Jacky did apologise on his blogg in december last year not long after he got out of rehab. Rachelabichen posted a translation on 7 December where he said he had done a lot of repenting and he said as a celeb he had let the fans down and he was supposed to bring hapiness and good music to people but instead had brought sadness

I think thats a very good apology and now i think he must just want to get on with singing at long last! I think SDR will never forgive him tho...

If anyone sees his recent performance on YouTube please post the link!!! This is realy exciting isnt it!!

And thanks to Tammiest for translating!

[Mandy.sg]

but shouldnt SDR consider letting jacky come back soon? i mean, his jstar isnt doing that well now -.- if jacky goes back to 183 it'll be a boost...everything in jstar seems to be collapsing now, the artistes like 7F losing their popularity and very little drama for the, [other than qiaoen] seems like whatever they have now is 5566 and the baseball team...if i were him i'll consider letting jacky go back to 183, since he already learnt from his mistake...

[DTLCT]

Huh! SDR would never reconsider. I'm with Vanadia on this one. It was a miracle that SDR decided to patch things up with Show Lo already. It would be way too much if he actually lets Jacky returns, considering how things had been. It doesn't matter. I wouldn't blame SDR too much for Jacky's incident but SDR has way too much pride to just let Jacky back just 'cause Jacky apologized or do anymore. Don't we all know how SDR works? *shrugs*

And Vanadia, I've been checking around too. It'll come up later? Since Jacky already said he returned already.

[Mandy.sg]

sigh...hope jacky has a good time going solo again...we'll support him anyway, wont we? XD

[Vanadia]

I wouldn't blame SDR too much for Jacky's incident but SDR has way too much pride to just let Jacky back just 'cause Jacky apologized or do anymore. Don't we all know how SDR works? *shrugs*

I think DTLCT is right. SDR always set very firm rules for the j stars and jacky was always breaking them They were supposed to try to stay out of the media but jacky was always getting caught and photos of him turning up in the tabloids

And he had developed a terible reputation for picking up girls in nightclubs and having one night stands with them And there was an article in the Taipei Times that said some of the girls and their families complained to SDR. Then there was the photo of jacky in HK putting sunblock on a girl's back and that photo was said to have 'provoked' SDR (frankly i didnt see anything wrong with the photo They were both wearing decent swimwear and if some guy was putting sunblock on his girlfriends back on an Aussie beach no one would look twice and they would think it was a good idea because we dont have much of an ozone layer and you can get skin cancer without sunblock)

And all this was before the drugs conviction!!

So i just think there is no going back and besides SDR would probably have to pay a lot of money to Jackys new management to release him to appear with 183 Club Wasnt there a rumour going around not long after Jacky got kicked out that the promoters of 183 Club's Hanoi concert wanted to pay really big bucks for Jacky to appear with 183 Club but SDR said no?

i love 183 club so i am sad but what can you do?

Im still a fan of jacky because i think he has grown up a lot and toned down his lifestyle and at the end of the day he can really sing! I hope something turns up on YouTube soon.

[DTLCT]

Regarding the thing w/ those girls' parents complaining to SDR or whatever, I think that it's NOT all Jacky's fault. Come on now! What are the girls going to pull? They're young and innocent and got lured in by him? It would take two. (But I guess him being a guy, they just want to put it all on him. ) I'm not saying what he did was right, but I'm just saying it doesn't make sense to blame it on just him.

And yes, SDR/ J-Star is strict with their management policy and Jacky probably doesn't like to be controlled so there's the whole conflict arising. I'm sure NOT all stars are pure and doesn't do anything wrong. They just don't get caught versus Jacky gets it. Once again, NOT trying to make excuses for Jacky. I'm just saying just because he got caught, he became the bad guy in the whole thing.

The whole sunblock thing is just ridiculous. Even my mom was saying how ridiculous it was and she's very traditional and strict regarding different matters. It wasn't like he got caught at the beach w/ some guy's wife. (Okay, bad example and going way off but you get the idea. The situation was exaggerated.)

I didn't hear about the whole fees thing about the performance in VN. Could anyone verify?

Hidden Text:

I don't really want to discuss about Jacky's personal life much anymore. I'm sure there are lots of things going on and it might lead to some of his rash/unreasonable actions or it might just be him playing around. (I honestly don't want to pick at the old wound again since it wouldn't help.) But that's his business and only him and his family know for sure of the details. I rather look forward to see him get up on his feet again and get his career going again. Hopefully, he will continue to cherish what he has now and work harder.

今天收到了一个消息, 星光大到想请我去P光大到想请我去PK.... 我听到之后不知如何是好 所以我暂且回应"让我考虑一下" 唱歌是我ㄉ最爱 这也会是我复出的依个挑战 希望大家给我依点意见 合支持. thx

jacky blogged again. it's a one liner so it's easy to figure using google translator. he said he got an invitation to a variety show (星光大到), i think it's like a friendly singing contest or something like that and he didnt know what to do and responded that he will think about it. He is asking his fans for their views on this.

i have read some fans responses and all of them encouraged him to go for it .

is jacky getting the jitters? poor guy hasnt been on stage for so long like he has forgotten how to sing lolz but he needs to start somewhere. some of you might want to post your views on his blog .

go jacky!

Err, I think poor Jacky misspelled the name of the show I think he meant 星光大道 Xing Guang Da Dao, short for 超級星光大道 [Chao Ji Xing Guang Da Dao] [One Million Stars]... currently the most famous and popular televised singing competition in Taiwan. (Sorry, I have to a little at his misspelling )

Anyways, I don't watch the show myself, but, from what I understand, they sometimes invite lesser-known singers to "PK" (err... meaning... "go against/head-to-head") on the show against the contestants. First season, they had Jam Hsiao JingTeng (who is now SUPER-popular) "PK" Aska Yang ZongWei. So this could be a big deal for Jacky, and I can see why he's nervous.

I think that, if his throat is feeling well-rested, he should go for it! Who knows? It could be the exposure he needs.

[//* tzeyuen]

wow. i havent been here for long!
good to see he hasnt been forgotten.
hehs. let me backtrack a little. its good that he has the courage to stand up from where he fell, and i think it would be nice if he would go back to 183. if not, then go solo. [i still have his solo album! and am waiting for the next one to come out! (:]

wait. so is he going for 星光? hopefully so! then i can catch his beautiful voice again~
jiayou jacky!
