Talk about a disasterous comeback single. Of course, Jolin's crew knew it would be hard to top last year's 300,000+ selling breakthrough album "Magic" ('72 Changes Of Me'). The singles I heard from "Magic" were fresh, especially with (ex-boyfriend?) Jay Chou's hand in composing them. So what's the easiest way to follow-up "Magic"? Well, the easy way out is hiring back Jay Chou and that's exactly what Jolin's crew did with "Pirate" (Hai Dao). "Pirate" is a nice song, but it doesn't stand out. It could've been a filler on "Magic." It's LAZY. Jay Chou's lalalala in the background and his "innovative" intro with "Let's get ready to rumble" makes this single a dirrty mess. Thumbs down. It sounds like the weak sequel to "Prague Square" (Jolin's smash hit last year which had a rap and Renaissance feel to it; also composed by Jay Chou). Download "Pirate" (Hao Dao) here: If you don't want to go through the hassle, there is a clip which represents the song in the background of this part of her official site: www.gclub.com.tw/new_gclub/ACTIVITY/g_pirate_jolin/g_pirate_jolin.asp(Perhaps she was inspired by "Pirates of the Caribbean"?) Jolin's new Mandarin album comes out February 27. She changed her look again. I don't like it.

I was watching the "Do You Want My Love" video on my laptop last night and it brought back so many memories! It almost made me want to listen to "Just No Other Way" and make yet ANOTHER nostalgia topic about the song!!

Strange sounding song. She has what looks like a tattoo on her arm.

It sounds just like "Na, Na, Na" by 112 f/ Supercat.
