He's from Singapore and I believe all of us are so proud of him! A real inspiration of singing with his awesome techniques and vocal range! This is was orginally performed by 與克里鄰，an old school veteran singer/band.
优客李林。The name is a literal translation of Ukulele, with the family names of the two singers (李骥，林志炫) embedded.
In China there's a nickname for JJ LIN called "the Human CD player" coz his live shows are perfect as CDs
He ate CDs growing up.
@@kaydens6964 lol
“The walking CD”
Oh my god! You just sold his concert ticket to me....!!!!
Actually he is from Singapore, not China
The reason why JJ is so phenomenal is because when he sings live, he hits every note so perfectly that he is given the name "The Walking CD", so absolutely no autotune here, believe it or not.
JJ is a Singaporean citizen and Chinese by Race
Cheers S'pore! You have a lovely national treasure in Mr. J.J Lin. Beautiful vocals!
thenotsosecret agent ya know chinese isn’t a race, he’s a Han.
@@mengvictor8 Chinese is also used to refer to the ethnicity, if you want to be specific then Han Chinese
@@zeiitgeist if that is the case, what about the uyghurs in China. Is their ethnicity Chinese?
@@mengvictor8 they are Uyghur Chinese, context is key, know when to differentiate nationality and ethnicity. Yet most just call them Uyghur and not Chinese by foreign media?
As a non-Chinese, i started to learn Chinese pop songs coz of JJ Lin. He is very talented
oh cool i’m chinese. it’s nice to see people learn chinese lol
"non chinese" bro lmao thats literally most of the world.

I went to his concert and serious 100% same live performance, no autotune at all.
JJ is a SINGAPOREAN
Too bad Singapore doesn't have a influential enough music scene for him to develop and unleash his potential
Ke Ming Yu I think it’s fine though. JJ is the ONLY foreigner that is recognised is one of the heavenly kings in the Mandopop scene and we’re proud of that. Had he continued to stay in Singapore, he would never get that kind of recognition he deserved
@@misssasa829 Stephanie Sun?
Mohammed Aqil Bin Mohd Mislan Yes Stephanie Sun is also one of those that made it big overseas! But I think comparing both, JJ’s recognition by the public of being an A-list star is much higher then Stef. But come to think of it, there isn’t anything like “heavenly queens” in Mandopop am I right?
@@misssasa829 probably because Stef married and gave birth. She isn't as productive nowadays
He's well known to be a walking CD no matter it's a concert or just street singing
I have to say he must have practiced the crap out of his youth. Like there is no way only talent can do this consistently. That's why I just love him so much and maybe that's why his perfs are perfect everytime
What is CD?
@@kwfown his voice singing on LIVE is as good as listening to your audio mp3 without autotuning or any other technologies
do not forget, this guy is also a song composer, so talented
U know ur voice was blessed by the gods when a vocal coach assumes you use autotune
So true
One of reason I love JJ is because he has that especial vibrato sounded like auto-tune. If you search him up for his acappella, hire vocal is pretty and amazing. 😊 He doesn’t need and don’t use auto-tune.
JJ's singing techniques are extremely unique and work beautifully with his voice. I'm very proud of him and as a Singaporean he is doing very well. Music industry in Singapore is not as big as other countries and hope that he can continue to unleash his potential and be well recognized.
Went to JJ concert in SG on 22-Dec and he sang the same song live! Sounded 100% as in the video! Kudos!
Even more powerful than in the video!
is there a video? I want to watch!
As a singaporean Chinese, I love your analysis of JJ Lin’s singing even though u dont speak mandarin. That was so spot on and helpful. Subscribed, love your work!
I just saw him live at his recent Sanctuary 2.0 world tour concert in SG and he sang the same song LIVE. I'm sure there was no autotune involved. He just sounds that good!
10:52 - there's no autotune, this was a live demo for professional artiste to perform a cover for participating contestants (non professionals). Its not even his song, so there's no track behind this.
Melvin Chen exactly. I just don’t understand how is that a auto tune lewl . It’s a live performance
Post production? Not saying there was indeed autotune just that it's possible
DokiZoki possible of course, just unlikely because it would defeat the purpose of the show.
This series is for participating contestants to seek the ‘teachers’ to demo a cover...and in a different style and genre from its original, by random selection....the teachers have a couple of hours to rearrange the song in a different style and demo it live.
Since it’s not their song and it’s a demo cover, no reason to try and perfect/auto tune it.
Hahaha China has always been very pro post production ever since shows like 我是歌手. It’s not that the Singers can’t sing, but making a good vocal track sound even better after post production has always been their aim for viewers to enjoy the show better. Look at it as fine tuning a really great vocal track into something absolutely perfect.
@@LostGlenn yep and there is no shame in making errors in live performances as we are all human. however these China shows are notorious in post production editing
Really appreciate you reacting to JJ Lin and I think you really have a good pair of eyes and ears for good singers . JJ Lin is really a talented singer who is considered top in his field. . And I am so happy that there are more people finding your reactions and writing insightful comments here sharing it with you and all fans of JJ Lin alike.
JJ's voice is already autotuned in the womb
Hahahahahahah I never heard that before. Awesome !!!!!!!!!
Yes. I think his vibrato is not autotuned. His live performance sounds like that.
xD
That is a live show anyway. Got other singers as judges and other people that bought the tickets to see the show.
actually he practiced this song for only 2-3 hrs as this entertainment show's director gave them this amount of time to practice
3 hours is to prepare this song, but vocal practice has been his whole life.
@@WinsonDaPooh EXACTLY
HE WAS FIRST IN TAIWAN THEN CHINA
For the second season it's 6 hours. For the 1st season it's 3 hours, then 6 hours, then season 3 back to 3 hours of preparation time.
Nothing is last minute. Everything has been planned weeks before even if it seems like impromptu etc, just acted out. I work in the Asian entertainment scene.
@@AvengeBasketball Define "Asian"?
JJ Lin is Pride of singapore.
Wilson Tan 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬 hell yea
JJ Lin from indon btw
@@jasonckv92 You're kidding right? Where did you get the idea he's Indonesian?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JJ_Lin
Jason Chong Ket Vui HAHA joker lah
I was gonna say " SiNGaPoRe'S PrIde"
JJ sings in English quite often cause he's Singaporean, fluent in English.
He produced a duet with Jason Mraz and sang the Chinese version of Despacito too.
here's some back story on the clip u just watch. it is a singing competition where viewers votes a song for the singer - JJ Lin in this turn and he has to give a rendition of that chosen song in his own interpretation. they have about a couple of hours to practices while filming behind the scenes, rehearsals for the performance and sometimes even writing a brand new rift/melody. he did awesomely well!
Parrottz Was never a JJ fan but this entire series earned my respect for JJ, especially when he was up against Hu Yanbin.
@@sweetpopz a couple of hours only? Crazy!! He is literally genius!!!!
He just sang the exact same song in his concert last night! And it was mind blowing !
First of all... Its not an autotune that's his original voice and a beautiful vibrato... Thanks...
cool!
I don’t need to know the language to appreciate a spectacular voice when I hear one. His performance & singing is just beautiful & infectious. I loved it!
I've been a fan of JJL for a decade now and I love how you're able to analyze his vocals perfectly by just watching this one video of him singing. ❤️
That’s his real voice never needs autotune you can google him singing in the streets with buskers
Trust me, your life will never be the same after attending JJ's concert
Yes. I am 600 dollars poorer.
Rip my wallet
@@tancheeken 😂
Yasssssss! After sanctuary 1.0 until 2.0 now I'm waiting for Wonderland to come back SG&MY!
you know that JJ Lin is the best because he can sing with a sweet tender voice and then go to a strong and powerful one and each time make your heart skip a beat and fall in love with his voice. JJ fan forever!
For something prepared in under 6 hours, what JJ did was beyond astonishing😍He had to rearrange and practice performing the song in under 6 hours!
@@JenLL-rf1vh this was from season 2 right? Cuz A-Lin was there. I think it's 6 hours prep time for season 2?
JJ has a beautiful nickname: "a walking CD" ! You can imagine how good he sings.
incredible1
A suggestion would be, hear the original version and then listen to JJ Lin’s version. Imagine singing that song with only 2-3hrs of practice. That way you will then realise why its one of the most popular hit cover sang by him. He is really our nation’s pride. Cant be more proud of him.
His vibrato sounds like that sometimes, it’s not auto-tune. It’s his voice. No kidding.
Yas we all know! His voice is amazing!
It is autotuned, 99% of Asian singers use autotune.
@@wooshbait36 lol no
@@wooshbait36 bill shit
@@masterkoi29 Nice spelling 😬
Btw this song could be loosely but more appropriately titled “Losing you, so what if I gain the world”. It’s about the pains of losing someone who is the center of your life despite winning everything in life.
That is an accurate explanation¡
🙌🙌
That's an awkward way to translate it. You're mimicking the Chinese grammatical structure, when the English title used already conveys the same thing, but in a more natural way.
Dave C I know, but I was only loosely translating it because the video initially titled it as “how did you lose the world” and that was incorrect. I was among the earliest viewers and caught the mistake. I see now it has been modified which is good.
Let me try. "Now that I have lost you, what does winning the world matter?"
Btw it is not auto tune, it’s really his voice
thanks for the comment
Thank you for the reaction. In the Cpop world.. JJ is like the grandmaster level among Cpop singers.
not really. maybe shin
@@JasonChowTV opps, i should have indicated "one of the grandmaster".
Except for Jay Chou
It's mandopop. Fk prc for trying to hijack the market.
This is most professional singing reaction video I have seen! Thank you for walking us through every detail. You explained so well. Thank you! Thumbs up!
The original singer was Terry Lin. And the lady who was jaw dropping sang this too. Her name is Alin. Check it out.
Singapore's pride
OMG JJ LIN!!!! I can recognise his voice without looking at the face! Love it! :)) Sorry to break it to you...no autotune used, his voice is unique.
JJ’s stage presence is very nice. It really matches his singing too.
thank you for reacting to JJ video!!(; He’s a singaporean btw, proud of him!!
Not every Chinese are from China. JJ Lin is SINGAPOREAN!
Chloe Lim chill. There’s A ton of ppl alr telling him the same thing.
I recommend going to his concert!!
I love the way you analyze and I don't know it take so much technique to singing better. I always think people just born to be good singer, effortlessly or talented only. Anyway thx bro
Im a Chinese, so appreciate to see that others like you also can like our Chinese's song, hope you can do more videos such as this! Subscribed 👍!
A very technical critique and analysis. However, this is a live recording, no autotuned. Thank you!
Love your reaction. Love JJ singing this song. very touching
I’m so proud that his from my country! ❤️
Yes!
I really enjoy this guy’s passion and appreciation for good music and voices, and of course very knowledgeable . Loving those beautiful smiles.
Subbed
I see your eyes shine, when JJ first sing out.
The two highest, strongest lines ”输了你” (shu le ni) and “失去你” (shi qu ni) both mean “losing you”. That’s why they are aptly the most emotional lines in the song.
The last phrase in the song is “除了你” (chu le ni) meaning “except you”. The entire sentence means “who can keep me lucid, except for you” = importance of his love to his life. Very great lyrics 😭💕
Thank u so much for reacting to this! 😊
I'm pretty sure you will get a lot of subscribers from Singapore coz JJ Lin is one of the best singers from Singapore! Majulah Singapura!
I’m JJ Lin’s super fans, thank you that you love his music. His live shows performance is very well, you may watch his concert video then you will know! And highly recommend his new song “將故事寫成我們”, in the middle of the song, he could sing up to the high C key, that’s amazing!
Its not an auto tune. It's a style like a Portamento that a lot of chinese pop singers would use at the end of the phrase.
he's our pride 👏👏👏 ... if i remember correctly he hurt his vocal some times back b4 this show & came back stronger 💪
It’s around 2008 or 2009, right before he released the album ‘lost n found’
You can try listen to his version of 我们的爱，English translation name our love. Lemon tree is a good version if you wanna hear him sing a little bit in English.
one of my favorite song
Most perfect Asian Singer.
Hi Ramsey,
Nice video you got there. Clear explanations, tempo and dynamics. Just liked and subscribed!
You should react to JJ Lin's 《领悟》which is also sung on the same show. This song is more on his vocal prowess but 《领悟》is one that pushes both his emotional and vocal skills to the maximum. Singers don't really have both skills to such an astonishing degree but JJ sure has it
In《凤凰于飞》JJ pushes his vocal range closer to his limits, could be a good song to react to since there is a lot more falsetto and also a lower range (possibly baritone/bass).
Also in 《我们的爱》he goes for a more rock-based style and there's a lot more glissandos.
Ya👍😄
@@Rayodon Those 2 songs were my favorite of all his performances on that show :D 《凤凰于飞》in particular was especially impressive in terms of vocal range 😍
@@rosemilkytea I agree! I really liked 《女儿情》 as well because he mixed in Jay Chou's《菊花台》so smoothly
👍👍🥰🥰
😃 JJ Lin JJ Lin 💗💖😍😍
Thank you so much 😃
Dude, you actually need to hear a lot more of JJ's performances... he does not auto tune.... that is his voice.
Jiu Chan I love jj but I do think Chinese show they used auto tune post production. Very certain . As I do study a little too . Love jj nonetheless . they just want make it better too
In Singapore generally everyone completes their studies before pursuing their career but JJ Lin decided to drop out of college and went to pursue music professionally and made it in Taiwan and China. He really made it!!
I love JJ; now I love you as well. Thank you for the detailed analysis I definitely came here and learnt something.
I just came across this video and I want to thank you for explaining the singing techniques that JJ uses in his song.. It has help me to appreciate his performance on a more profound level. I like this reaction video over the videos that makes superficial comments on how good or amazing or beautiful a performance is... yours is very informative! I really enjoyed it and i look forward to more!
thanks, glad you're here
This is my favorite JJ live, thanks for the reaction!
Hi Matt, many thanks for reacting to this song. I have heard many who said how excellent JJ sings but you gave a really great analysis and I have certainly learnt a lot from this reaction video! Hope you will react to more songs by JJ so that we can learn to appreciate his techniques more. I will be going to his concert tour in Singapore this weekend and will definitely look out for some of the techniques you mentioned here. Happy holidays to you and your family! 💜
jj lin is Singapore biggest pride
what about stephanie sun!?
Danzal oh i thought it was Stephanie Sun?
David S both !
@@GutsOfAMan
Both. Different era. Stef came first. Then there's also ah do and tanya chua.
Honourable mentions like wei lian and derrick.
Hey Ramsey, that was an interesting reaction to JJ's rendition of the song. He is an amazing singer n he gets better every time! Just went to his concert on 22 Dec in Singapore. He was so so so good.
I'm started formal singing class not too long ago. N I think u give good tips in the reaction. I will note them down n use them w gratitude.
JJ Lin is not called the Walking CD for no reason! He has one of the best vocals out there!
nah recent years deteriorated. i watched all his concert i can tell
Jason Chow I’ve just watched his latest one in KL. His vocals are as strong as ever. In fact more powerful then his Singapore show in 2018 (but then again he did 4 shows in a row and I went to the 4th show). Which concert you watched that made you think he deteriorated? Or did you mix up JJ Lin with Jay Chou lol
@@misssasa829 even jay chou is better than him. hes that bad
Jason Chow with this statement I can only conclude you’re a troll lol. “He’s bad at singing” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You know if you wanna hate on JJ Lin, you shouldn’t use his vocals as a weakness. No one would agree with you. That’s HOW GOOD he is. Why would you hate on someone that’s at a higher level in life then you ever will be? lol!
Jason Chow NO YOU DEFINITELY DID NOT SEE HIS CONCERTS LMAO
This was so interesting!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing. My fave singer since 2005 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi, I like your reactions to JJ Lin. Thank you 😊
@Jen LL , Good morning Jen☕😍
You analyzed JJ’s vowel manipulation exactly right. It’s actually very difficult for many mandarin speakers since the language is inherently flat in vowels. Some of the best mandarin singers came from English as first language, JJ being one of them. I didn’t know he came from Seth’s speech level method but makes perfect sense.
what do you mean by flat in vowels?
kori228 “NEEEEE~”
@@danielx40 so a single vowel with no consonant at the end? and how does that make it difficult for vowel manipulation?
kori228 so, this singer JJ studied under a guy named Seth, who invented a method called speech-level singing. One of the technique is to make “Need” sound slightly like “Nerd”, or “Neeuud” in high registries. “ee” sounds makes a person’s mouth open too wide -it somehow causes a strain on the vocal cord. Opera singers and classic singers open their mouths more vertically, with jaws lowered. Regular people tend to squeeze out high notes. Usually sounds like “nay” and “nu” are easier to sing high without strain, while “ni” is more difficult. So when professionals sing “ni”, they make it sound a bit like “neeuu”. In Chinese the sound “ni” (neee) is more distinct than in English, so it is more difficult to change the vowel while saying the right words.
Daniel X I know I’m chiming in late but I’m still curious what you meant by “Chinese has inherently flat vowels.”
Wait till you listen to the original version by (Terry Lin) from his ex-duo band called Ukelele back in 1994. Not that the original version is bad or what but if you learn the fact that JJ was only given a few hours to come up with his own rendition, boy would you have a better grasp of just how talented he is. Also, I've always felt that Music knows no barriers or boundaries and Matt Ramsey making that assumption @14:30 was the exact testimony to it because he was almost spot-on! Here's the original MTV from Ukelele for anyone who's curious & the other earlier rendition from A-Lin (That lady in white with the short hair within the panel) respectively!

Dude, your demos are ON POINT! Excellent work
Im not even his fan, but I instantly smile when he sings
“What good would it be for me to win the whole world but lose you instead”
-would be my literal (and lengthy...kudos to the grammar of Chinese haha) translation of the song’s title.
“How did you lose the world” kind of has it backwards... (it’s very natural English that has just happens to have not much to do with the title of this particular song...)
Every time I see the title of this song it reminds me of this verse from the Bible: “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”
(the Chinese translation matches the song title more closely in terms of sentence structure)
Incidentally, JJ is a devout Christian and I think (but am not sure) that Terry Lin (Lin ZhiXuan) who probably wrote this song is too.
Btw: JJ Lin is from Singapore and based in Taiwan. And very popular across the Chinese-speaking world :D
This song means something like so what if I win the world, when I lost you. Hope it helps :) I am a huge JJ Lin fan too and have been collecting all his albums. This TV show is interesting how popular singers give a different take on a song.
Best voice and best singing ever! love it!
You are really a pro, learned a lot from this video, thank you!
Thanks for your expert and professional reaction. It was great! It’s a pity that you couldn’t understand what he was singing about, otherwise, you would understand why there are high tunes, auto tunes and low tunes in his singing to effect the emotions and his interpretation of the song.
You’re right that this song is not his own. This song was selected during this variety show where he was selected by a contestant to re-interpret, re-arrange and re-package the whole within 3 hours, including the rehearsal. This show recorded live performances. I don’t think there was any post-prod recording of the song, but I may be wrong.
Jen LL Hi Jen! 😀😀😀
i'm pretty sure that he didnt use autotune at all
Holy shit! what Ramsey says is absolutely correct although he didnt understand the language.
He is my idol 😘😘😘💜💜💜
He is definitely good in live! Love his voice so much💜
Cying 1307 💜💜💜
Thank you. Really enjoyed your reaction!
incredible that you explain what jj is doing without understanding the lyrics!!! very cool analysis on the vowel
I'm focused on the singing technique
So proud of JJ!! Anyway just for your info, he's from Singapore! 😁😁
That is NOT AUTOTUNED, that is part of the characteristics of his unique voice. This is not even his song!
Subscribed. Great analysis!
So cool to see this video being done :) I love jj Lin and this cover. my bf dedicated this to me so it has a very special place in my heart ♥️
Wow you are amazing. The explanation is such a revelation for someone like me who doesn't understand music theory at all. Thank you
Hi! Can I suggest that u listen to one of his english song music video? The song name is Until The Day. It his own original song. Hope u enjoy the song!
his concert ticket is always sold out. didn't get to go this year too. :(
5:25. Until I heard that piece of advice, I had never figured out how to make the EE note sound good in one of the songs I have always sung. It has always bothered me. Now I know what to do. Thank you so much!
Every chinese know him. He is very popular in asia.
Anime动漫天堂 know”s” him 单三
No..This is a live recording😅 Auto tuning must have been done post production by it's variety show production team. JJ is a mega star in Chinese pop in Asia. He too is a multi-talented artist not just a mega-singer plays multiple musical instruments also a music producer (produces most of his own albums & songs/albums of others singers)..music composers to his own songs & also composed music pieces for other artists too!! He too sometimes took some parts in acting in movies as well. He's labelled by fans all over the world for being a "walking CD" as his live performances sounded no different from his very own CD albums😘👍Follows him on his Instagram @jjlin for more of him on/off camera!!😜✌️
中国节目很多成品都会后制修音，即时你听现场，过后发布的成品也经过修音，稍微让音有对到pitch，这是很正常，人声没可能每个音都跟乐器那么准。

@@ll_zod7560 为什么要妒忌？Pitch Correction是很正常的东西，每个歌手都会用的。我又不是吐槽jj唱不好。先读几年音乐吧小弟。
@@hijames87 是的，因为这类综艺要求每个音都完美，所以难免修音。Up主也说了修音可以理解，况且整首歌也就这个部分修了。他也几次强调修音对歌手音准也有一定要求，修音不代表歌手唱得不好。
Lol Chinese reply to an English comment？你们没事儿吧哥们儿
JM reporting here
he has the autotune ability within himself (the Walking CD after all) which is evident in his other live performances. Also this is also a show that lets the singers to edit a song within 2 hours and perform them.
