Why do they keep saying 'Jolene'? xD Unless I've been pronouncing it wrong.

Because that's how you pronounce "Jolin"

[Tom Punks]

^ But she's pronounced it differently herself lol I remember an interview where she said "Hi my name's Jolin Tsai..." and totally pronounced it like the female translator did at the beginning

EDIT: OK, the only source I can find that even gives a pronunciation guide for her name is this, which lists it as AyuHamasaki01 and I have been saying it. Apparently, it's actually a boy name LMAO

Where exactly? If it's right after the guy she's saying "Jolene" just like him?
EDIT: unless you mean in the interview that you were referring to lol

Her boyfriend also has a girl's name (unless Vivian is also a boy's name in English-speaking countries I don't know)... They're a match made in heaven XD

But if you all want to know how to pronounce her name for her particular case just listen to Dr Jolin or CFs.
In events they also yell a lot "Jolene Cai Yi Lin" when she comes on stage, and Jolin pronounce it this way herself.
I guess that she pronounced it very differently once because she doesn't introduce herself with her English name that often?

[Tom Punks]

In both the interview I'm referring to with Jolin herself, and by the second translator in the link AyuHamasaki01 posted, it was pronounced "Jo-lynn" not "Jo-leen..."

Which is so weird, because she totally says it as "leen" in Dr. Jolin lmao... idk, I've heard it both ways at this point, I'm gonna go with "lynn" since she's said it in an interview that way and I think it sounds ugly the other way around lmao.

Thanks!!

The way she said it here sounded like "Jolene" to me.
But I have to say that "lynn" and "leen" honestly sound very similar to my ears, I guess that's why I'm not hearing much of a difference >_< Like I said in my previous post, for the female translator I heard "Jolene" and not "Jolynn" for instance lol

[Tom Punks]

^ I heard the actual woman say "Jolene" but then the translator sounded like "Jolynn" XD

I agree, they can sound pretty similar and hard to tell apart! Like the first time I heard the guy translator say "Jolene" and then I replayed it and started hearing "Jolynn"... lmao

I'm relieved, it's not just me! I felt a bit stupid when I listened to what the woman was saying in your video and heard "Jolene" instead of "Jolynn" XD

Thanks by the way for the interview, never saw that one! It brings back memories... I want to listen to MUSE now lol

[mi|kshake]

So...we're going with "Jolynn" then?

[Tom Punks]

^ I think it's technically supposed to be Jolene in her case, but I'm going with Jolynn because she's said it once and I need to cling to that lmao

I wonder if it has something to do with Chinese? Does that vowel sound not exist in Chinese, hence why they tend to say "lene" instead of "lynn"?

[JackieRos]

When they say her name, it always sounds like Join Tsai to me.
I call her Joleen.

[Tom Punks]

I like "Jolynn" because it sounds more... playful idk. "Jolene" sounds so supe serious and reminds me of Dolly Parton lol
