Jessie Chung Performs in Sexy Dress
at Ximending, Taiwan
Jessie Chung’s brand new album There
You Are has recently gone gold in Taiwan, leading to a series of
promotional events to reach toward a wider audience.
Not only did she get her
album endorsed at the album release press conference on October 24th, Jessie
Chung also performed at the Taiwan Ximending Launching Show on October 30th,
donning a sexy, ebony, see-through dress embroidered with gold.
Performing four songs at her
launching show in Taiwan, she opened with “There You Are”, a touching
ballad, and subsequently drove the crowd wild with “Drive My Heart”, an
explosive rock anthem.
Her showing off of her new dance moves and the fantastic
interaction between her and male dancers induced the screams and shouts of the
Taiwanese fans.
Her husband Joshua Beh stayed below the
stage to accompany her and take pictures of her, causing her much embarrassment
when her team of dancers picked her up on stage, but she kept her composure as
she beamed a shy smile.
Jessie Chung spent more than a year in Australia to
prepare for this album; under the plans devised by her Australian record
company, she took on the so-called “Bond girl” style, despite her initial fears
of the radical change. Changing her hairstyle from blunt bangs to side-swept
fringe caused her significant insecurity, and she’s still getting used to it.
Jessie Chung reveals that “There You
Are” is dedicated to the two most important men in her life, the memory of her
father, and her husband Joshua. She recalls her father passed away while
she was promoting her previous album. Not being able to see her father at his
deathbed, Jessie Chung wanted to use this song to thank him.
The song is also
dedicated to her husband for being besides her at all times. “Spend enough time
to appreciate the people around us, that will save us a lot of regret when the
final goodbye comes,” she says emotionally when asked about the past.
Besides
performing her new songs, Jessie Chung also had great interaction with her
fans, giving away James Bond aviator sunglasses and exclusive
heart shaped pillows. While signing
autographs, many enthusiastic fans gave Jessie and her team little presents as all were satisfied by the electrifying event.
She states her first time in
Taiwan was an unforgettable experience and looks forward to party again
with her fans. Jessie Chung also reveal her tight schedule in
Taiwan has prevented her from tasting Taiwanese delicacies. She plans to wander
through the night market with her husband upon completing the launching show
and have an authentic taste of Taiwanese cuisine.
After changing her gender identity,
Jessie Chung has received a fair amount of cyber-bullying. Even till this day,
ignorant netizens still attempt to verbally abuse her, such as questioning her
singing talents. Regarding these criticisms, Jessie has shrugged them off and
says, “The fact whether or not I sing well is decided by my fans; as long
as my fans like it, that’s enough for me; as long as they like it, that makes
me happy and contented.”
Jessie Chung states, “Although I feel hurt, these
harsh criticisms only make me stronger and prove my
motivation.” She’s very optimistic and believes words of encouragement
and constructive criticisms are all helpful to her as long as the words
are sincere.
SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT
