Superstar Jay Chou is in no hurry for love.
Instead, he's enjoying the bachelor life. On a talk-show in
China, the Taiwanese Prince of Pop revealed that he does not feel
that he is ready for marriage and his mother is not hurrying him
to.
"I've been single for a very long time!" Jay quips.
About his new single Chao Ren Bu Hui Fei (loosely translates to
Superman Can't Fly) from his latest album, Jay explained that the
song is an account of his 10-year journey in the music
industry.
In the song, there is a part where Jay sings about superheroes
not allowed to have tears; when asked if he has cried recently, Jay
revealed that he rarely does.
"I only cry when needed in movies but that isn't real either. I
don't wear my heart on my sleeve, so even if I feel really touched
I won't cry either."
He also dismissed the links between his songs and his own love
life, saying that he already expected the paparazzi to link the
ballads in his album to his 'ex-girlfriends'.
"You don't have to try and find clues about me from my songs
because I don't write about my own feelings. I write songs based on
general feelings that everyone will have. I don't write my own
lyrics either to avoid misunderstandings."
When the host of the talk-show praised Jay as the new 'heavenly
king' of the Chinese pop industry - the title 'Four Heavenly Kings'
was previously given to superstars Lau, Leon Lai, Aaron Kwok and
Jacky Cheung - Jay humbly plays it down.
"Only the Four Heavenly Kings are the real kings; there's no way
I can measure up to them."
