And Linoa62, I feel like you took my post a little too much to heart and too literally. I've been a big fan of Jolin for over 10 years; in fact, if you scroll back up this page, I posted just a couple posts back about how much I appreciated that she really cares about her music. I realize that forgettable, mundane, generic ballads are just part of the territory, Jolin's music being C-pop and all. I wasn't trying to make a serious jab at her, but I do stand by what I said: considering, for me, MUSE was by far her worst album and took the longest to produce, I don't think her work right now is justifying the length of time it's taking to get out.

WOW XD
Based on your answer it seems like I sounded like a stan >_<
I never thought that you were not a fan or something just because you don't like some songs, or that you were saying that she didn't care about her music o_O My post was not meant to make you feel "attacked" too! If so, I apologize.
I may have been straightforward because in your post it felt like you were actually stating your opinion as a fact: the part when you said that C-Pop/Jolin's ballads suck, are badly produced, all sound the same etc
It looked more like you were saying it was a fact, it didn't look like you were just stating your personal opinion.
Anyway I just wanted to say that whether we like them or not, if she didn't sing ballads fit for the Chinese market we wouldn't get any albums anymore and gave a couple of examples... Nothing else!
