Jacky Cheung 張學友 TOP 5 Songs on Spotify! | SP LIVESTREAMS

[@Peppermt]

The God of Song claims another ❤️ He is way better live than on recordings, and is a master in both Cantonese and Mandarin (personally I think he emotes more deeply in the former cuz that's his mother tongue)

[@Peppermt]

Fun factoid: Kiss Goodbye also inspired Jay Chou to start exploring pop music in his youth, when he was studying classical music, cuz of the inclusion of traditional Chinese instruments. Without this version of Kiss Goodbye, we probably won't have Jay Chou now.

[@spiderhandspnz]

I see, I see. Yeah, he's pretty good at it! And I'm glad that Jay Chou was inspired by it. It's all gotta come from somewhere, eh?

[@HDsharp]

Nah, he's just so repetitive. Alan tam is the king of Cantonese pop and always will be. Jacky killed Cantonese pop. Every one of his songs sounds similar, you hear one you've heard the rest.

[@Edward718]

Jacky Cheung is the best singer of mine. Glad to hear his songs here and thank you Logan for your review on Jacky. I like your channel very much.

[@chrypopr1]

Saw him in Vegas live in concert few years ago

[@phanswatch]

Thanks for reviewing this! He is an HK LEGENG. Totally agree that his earlier stuff is grittier nothing a bad about it. I appreciate his voice and his commitment to the emotions for each word sung.

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thank you :) yeah, he's a legend. Great vocalist, loved my time with his tunes.

[@puipuisailo6853]

Thank you you reaction Jacky cheung, is so important when you introduce more people listen Jacky cheung soung

[@spiderhandspnz]

You're welcome! I enjoyed hearing his tunes. It was a great time!

[@kwanjo8931]

I like "她來聽我的演唱會" by Jacky Cheung, it is really meaningful on the lyric.

[@spiderhandspnz]

He's an absolute treasure.

[@ultragirlagit]

It's cute how you always feel so deeply for Jacky when you listen to his songs. Just FYI, Jacky was not just a great singer, but also a great actor in the 90s through 2000s. Like someone else had mentioned, most of his songs were produced by music labels, especially in his earlier days. Take "she's faraway" for instance, it was a remake of the Japanese song 浪漫鉄道 (romantic railway) by Shinji Tanimura. I guessing that's why he was able to emote so well in his songs. Don't get me wrong, I adore Jacky, he's my favourite singer of all times. Jacky's love life though, was pretty uneventful. He debuted in 1985 and met his wife while filming in 1986. They got married in 1996 and are still happy together with 2 grown daughters. Jacky is known to be a devoted husband and a great father who's protective of his girls' personal lives. If you'd like a peek into his love life, I'd recommend 有个人 (A person behind you) on KZbin. It has a cute photo montage of him and his wife.

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thank you. I'll try to remember to check this out, if I get the chance!

[@bennyyip6672]

Thanks for the review. Glad that you like Jacky Cheung’s songs. For Kiss Goodbye you may try listening to Jacky’s live performance at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards 2009. Absolutely masterpiece.

[@spiderhandspnz]

Ahh, Benny, is the live version better? That's dope, dude! Thanks for the confirm.

[@matttuck1993]

Great reviews!! Hope you review Jacky Cheung's underrated song -《這麼近那麼遠》

[@spiderhandspnz]

We may indeed do a part 2 of Jacky Cheung's music - stay tuned!

[@O_QHung]

如果沒有記錯的話，張學友是第一個拿到台灣金曲獎的非臺籍人士，他以精湛的演唱打破評審以往以【中文不標準無法得獎】的規則，也是在那之後成為大眾心中的【歌神】……在那之後台灣舉辦的各種獎項走出台灣真正面向亞太……

[@darkpearly6]

Jacky Cheung doesn't play guitar, but yes he dances in his world tour concerts. and then currently he is doing concert tour at age of 60+

[@spiderhandspnz]

Ahhh thank you

[@counterpoints_]

Logan, my man, delicious review of the "God of Songs" Jacky Cheung. You said you've heard of the hook in "Kiss goodbye". Indeed, you might have listened to an adaptation of this song by the Danish group "Michael learns to rock" into their "Take me to your heart". One of the live viewers jc0116 said it as well. If you are open to comparing the Chinese and the Danish versions (sung in English though), that would be terrific. "Michael learns to rock" was quite popular in China back then, owing to songs like "That's why" (another epic).

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thanks Counterpoints, glad to know that you enjoyed the review. I appreciate the extra info about the adaptation, as I felt like I was going insane while trying to figure that out. I've got a full schedule at the moment, but further comparisons are something that we could potentially do in future. Have a great day!

[@HO7SIM37]

More facts about "Kiss Goodbye". It probably is the no.1 song for the last 3 decades for the industry. That album stands as a record even today (as we transit into the digital age) and Kiss Goodbye was phenomenal in so many ways. The composer of the song 殷文琦 sadly passed on at 54 years in 2019. Prior to the Internet, I did recall watching him on a talk show discussing about the song. He said this epic statement "Never ever will there be another song, just "ONE" single song that I wrote, that enabled me to buy a house" Mind u this guy composed literally HUNDREDS of songs used by artistes in Asia. Sidenote : Thank you for really taking the time,effort,energy to reviewing all my childhood heroes in the music industry.. My childhood was an eclectic mix of listening to 1980s/90s/2000s mando pop, and strangely due to English being my first language, I also listen to a fair amount of 80/90/2000s rock track (mainly mainstream too). In the early 2000s, I worked part time as security for concert events and it was a BLAST being in Singapore where ALL THESE performers came to perform. I've watched countless times, Bon Jovi, GNR, Mayday, Jacky Cheung, Eric Moo, BEP, Mariah Carey, A-mei..... list goes on. I've watched Jacky live easily over 10x (Paid too) and Even at this 1/2 century concert, at age nearing 60, he did a mind boggling 147 concerts!! And I kid you not, each show was an amazing 4 hours long! His 1/2 century series was the only one I paid for an thoroughly sat down and enjoyed a concert. My butt ached for 4 hours and I cannot imagine anyone with vocal endurance that can go 4 hours straight.... with NO GUEST STARs filling in gaps, just him, the band and 4 hours worth of what you had here were 4 out of 5 songs (Sans the duet with Francesca) that were ALL sung there too!

[@spiderhandspnz]

That's.... that's unbelievable. What a phenomenal level of success!~ That's unreal, that the song allowed him to buy a house. Who else has success like that, nowadays? It sounds like you had a great time as a security person! I can't imagine someone doing 147 concerts.... that's wild, especially at 60. Incredibly impressive.

[@HO7SIM37]

@@spiderhandspnz Mind you i had to remind myself (and you too) that this is the COMPOSER of the song that said he bought a HOUSE!!! LOL I cannot imagine a single song changing the livelihood of dozens of people getting royalty off it since 1993.

[@es1070]

Jacky Cheung is one of the most symbolic singer in HK's Cantonese music industry in 1985- 2000. I like him a lot. Logan I recommend you to do another review for another Hong Kong singer - Hacken Lee. He has a new song published few days ago and its incredible, he has a lot classic songs since his debut in 1987. Here is the link for his new song "Together Forever": kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWqkdIqFoK2VbMk Hope you enjoy and have review on it!

[@spiderhandspnz]

Hacken Lee? Am keen!

[@es1070]

@@spiderhandspnz I am Hacken's fan long time ago since 2010 even I am a Generation Z! Hacken Lee is a S+ vocal skills singer in HK, and he has been very hot in China these years too!

[@xeenslayer]

One of the Four Heavenly Kings of 90s Chinese music. Top 5 can't quite do him justice haha. And there'll also be debate between Mandarin and Cantonese versions within that too.

[@spiderhandspnz]

Ahh, I see. I'm still learning the differences, but it's great to see how passionate people are about it!

[@stayfierceweightloss3255]

Love your reviews!

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thank you, cheers for the support!

[@tonystonehk]

Jacky is a 1000% pure vocalist who sings. Like Eason and many others, majority "singers" in Hong Kong market are pure vocalists. And most of them are idols. They work with production house with other composers musicians. Jay Chow and Beyond are minority who sing their own creations. Back to Jacky, he was one of "Four Kings" in 90s HK. His singing skill is the best out of four. He has more than many great songs which you can do part 2 part 3... Though most of Jacky's songs are love songs, he also has some songs covering some other emotions and tell different kind of stories. I think you may find more joy listening to these rather than the ever ending loveeeeee.

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thank you for all this awesome information! I really, really, genuinely appreciate it. It's so cool to learn about these musicians, how they make their music, and all the intricacies of it! We'll do more of Jacky's stuff in future, I think.

[@emokia15]

​@@spiderhandspnzJacky also wrote many songs and was a music director/actor in a musical called Snow Wolf Lake. Thr is an album called that in Spotify too. A 1997 album called 不老传说 had most of the songs too.

[@joyvargas3669]

Jacky Cheung duet " in love with you " #1 song in the 90's

[@issac1314520]

Jacky Cheung's Classic tour is amazing Wish you can react to this concert : )

[@spiderhandspnz]

Me too! Maybe we can do some live stuff, once I have more spare time / once the channel has taken a bit more time :)

[@harrislam]

He's pretty much the modern Chinese God of singing in the 90s~00s era. Not that he isn't anymore, he still is regarded as such, he just doesn't roll out new songs anymore. So anyway... yeah he has agent and record label and all that stuff like everybody else back then.

[@neihomai8]

Hi Logan! Can you do another "jacky cheung review", this time with the following 5 songs instead? spotify's top 5 hardly ever does the musicians justice! :] these 5 songs can better showcase his music, and I bet you will LOVE some of the instrumental bits! these 5 songs are very famous and I bet you will get good views and a lot of comments reviewing them! looking forward to your thoughts on these 5 songs. just copy and paste the names on KZbin! :] the English translations of the lyrics should be on the Internet, too! 這一次意外 愛你痛到不知痛 我醒著做夢 愛是永恆 慢慢

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thanks! It's tempting, seeing as I'm keen for more people to interact with the channel. I've just gotta figure out how to keep it fair for everyone, you know? If I purposefully do 5 specific tracks for Jacky Cheung - do I need to do that with every musician?

[@如果熟悉庫克]

Forever legend He’s aka 歌神. Means “God of singer”.

[@spiderhandspnz]

It's fitting!

[@usherzhang]

As Chinese,we like to listen to the good music from Jay Chou and like to listen to the good singer’s voice from Jacky Cheung!They are totally different！One is a great music creator,the other one is a great singer who is very famous for his voice.

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thank you, Usher Zhang! Yeah, they're definitely different musicians - but I enjoy them both!

[@wen7303]

很高兴您喜欢Jacky的音乐，他是我最喜欢的歌手之一，他的艺术生命很长，他的很多歌深入人心，即使过去了很多年，依然可以找到沉醉的感觉。是的，您的评论很认真很专业，我喜欢您的评论，谢谢。

[@emokia15]

This first song wasnt release in 2000. It was even longer cos it was given him to him by another songwriter to him for his wedding gift in 1996. Anyway these few songs ain't his technically difficult songs at all. Popular but cos they are easier to sing. Try listen to the wake up dreaming album, 我醒着做梦。给朋友 in Life is like a dream, written entirely by Jacky. 爱你痛到不知痛. As for faster songs, 这个冬天不太冷, the melody was written by him too. If you like his music u should really listen to concert editions, he sings better and has a habit of using vry vry awesome musicians for his live performance. Incredible audio and visuals.

[@willsmith4735]

Jacky Cheung's concert songs are one level better than his recorded songs.

[@nanyanguo1]

here are some fun facts about Jacky biggest hit Wen Bie [Farewell kiss] - MLTR produced the english version after the band went to HK n heard the song played in a cab. The english lyrics have different meaning from Wen Bie. - Wen bie is used by Dubai famous musical water fountain and never fail to mesmerise the crowd when it came on.

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thank you! I appreciate this information, it helps me to know and understand the artist better :) Have a great day!

[@lsy97]

oh wow, all along i thought they had the english version first and then the chinese version. thanks for the info

[@leeelle9057]

It’s musical instrument called erhu

i would like to recommend some other songs from Jacky. They might give you a sparkle 頭髮亂了 (Cantonese) 餓狼傳說 (Cantonese) 算命 (Mandarin)

[@willsmith4735]

I am a Jacky Cheung fan for over twenty years, some of his best songs are not the top five songs played, he has too many great songs. He also has rock, jazz songs and the top five songs are generally lyrical songs.

[@THEONE-yx4ej]

If Jay Chou is the King of Mandarin pop today, and Jacky was the previous one before the Jay

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thank you, this makes a lot of sense! I'm getting a better hang of the timeline, now.

Chinese do have our own set of musical instruments. erhu is one of the. Gu Zheng, Qin, Xiao (flute), pi-pa are some other chinese instruments.

Thanks so much! I've heard of some of these, but am still learning.

[@vampyreGisel]

Fransisca is from an aboriginal tribe in Taiwan, Taiwan Aborigines are very good singers, genetics I think lol

[@dawnnadir]

You should listen and review to his Cantonese songs instead of those so called top 5 Mandarin ones. It is just better in my opinion. It's unfortunate to have more Mandarin speakers on this world. Just slightly more...

[@spiderhandspnz]

I'm happy to review more tunes, for sure! I don't know the differences between the languages (forgive my ignorance) but I'll do my best!
