1980–99: Early life and career beginnings

Tsai was born to parents Tsai Chu-chen and Huang Chun-mei in Hsinchuang, Taipei County, Taiwan, on September 15. Her father is of Han Chinese descent, while her mother is half Han Chinese and half Papora. Her Papora maternal grandmother hails from Puli.[15] She attended Hsinchuang Elementary School. Tsai was known for her high grade, and frequently achieved top 3 in class since elementary school.[16] Tsai was a 200 meter sprinter in elementary school, but quitted after she injured her ankle.[17] Tsai later attended Hsinchuang Junior High School and Chingmei Girls' High School where she and her friends formed a band Twister for which she sang, but the band quickly dissolved.[18] In the second year of high school, she made her performance debut on campus, and sang the Cranberries's "Zombie" at the welcome party of the school's pop music association.[19] In a different campus event, she sang Bette Midler's "The Rose", and was buoyed up by the enthusiastic reception her audience gave her.[19]

In 1998, Tsai joined an MTV singing competition for a record of an extracurricular activity she performed in order to help her apply for colleges. However, she emerged champion at an MTV singing competition where she sang a rendition of Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All" in the final round. It was an accidental win that kickstarted her singing career and paved the way to her journey in becoming a teen idol.[20] In 1999, she majored in English literature at Fu Jen Catholic University, and signed a recording contract with Universal Music Taiwan.[21]

Artistry

Musical style

Tsai's music has been the subject of music analysis and scrutiny. China Times commented that what has brought Tsai success is "certainly not outstanding natural talent. As a vocalist or dancer, Tsai's talents seem modest."[132] It asserts Tsai's success is mostly due to her effort and diligence.[132] Her musical career has been a continuous experimentation with new musical ideas and new images.[133][134] Grant concluded that having established herself as the queen of C-pop,[135] Tsai did not stop there, but continued re-inventing. Before emerging as a dance-pop star, Tsai began her career as a teen idol.[136] Since the release of her debut album, 1019 (1999), which foreshadowed several trends in her later works, Tsai has sent her early years in teen pop that mainly appealed to teenagers.[137] Her early dance-pop roots can be found on her second studio album, Don't Stop (2000).[27] Tsai moved to dance-pop direction with Magic (2003), mixing nu-disco and hip hop music with dance tunes.[137] The album's songs reveal several key trends that have continued to define her success, and she continued to make dance songs for Castle (2004) and J-game (2005). Her mature artistic statement was visible in Dancing Diva (2006) and Agent J (2007). With Dancing Diva, Tsai began as a dance music diva, in an era that did not have any such Chinese singers to speak of, and she had a huge role in popularizing dance music as mainstream music in Great China.[3] Myself (2010) and Muse (2012) largely focused in electronic dance music, which she has embraced since Dancing Diva.[138] Myself is considered among her most adventurous, with almost all tracks are pure dance songs, which had never previously attempted by any Chinese singer.[139] Muse incorporated different genres of music, including progressive house, trance, and techno music.[138] Tsai experimented with more dubstep and trap music in Play (2014).[138] According to Today newspaper, the album "melds dance hall with bubblegum pop, breathtaking love songs with hilariously catty weirdness and euphorically catchy melodies with propulsive rhythms."[140]

Tsai possesses a mezzo-soprano vocal range. She emerged champion at an MTV singing competition, and she used a bright, girlish vocal timbre in her early albums.[141] However, she has been criticized in her early years for her vocals due to her limited vocal range.[142] Producer Wang Chih-ping, who collaborated with Tsai on her album Magic (2003), highlighted her tone and timbre as distinctive, but he claimed that "she does not have a gifted vocals."[143] In 2007, Tsai won a Golden Melody Award for Best Mandarin Female Singer, and it was the very first time that her vocals was recognized by professional music awards. However, her win for Best Mandarin Female Singer generated controversy from critics.[144] The awards jury responded that "she won due to her all-round talent and universal pop appeal."[145] Sam Chen, the president of Warner Music Taiwan, commented that she is "not a born vocalist but studied with vocal coaches."[146] During the recording session of Agent J (2007), Tsai took vocal lessons, which increased her range.[147] During the recording session of Play (2014), Tsai went to take vocal lessons again, which increased her range further.[148] Producer Chung Chen-hu, who collaborated with Tsai on her album Play, praised her vocal range and power.[149] However, Play failed to earn her a Golden Melody Award nomination for Best Mandarin Female Singer. It raised a controversy among general public, and the awards jury responded that they doubted the overuse of Auto-Tune in the album’s songs.[150] After watched Tsai's live performance during her Play World Tour, critics Chen Le-jung commented that she is "being able to sing long and vocal runs effortlessly".[151]

Influences

Tsai has cited her major influences in her music career as being Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Destiny's Child, and Madonna. She cited Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey her "two favorite artists" whom she would often sing along to in her childhood.[152] Mariah Carey's "Hero" and Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All" were two of the songs she performed in the MTV singing competition and helped she receive the champion. Tsai also cited Destiny's Child major influence in her early music career, and she praised their powerful vocals and dance.[153][154] Since Dancing Diva (2006), Tsai has drawn comparisons to Madonna in terms of stage presence. Tsai commented that "I have been a huge fan of Madonna. She's the person I've looked up to. I would like to be a star like her."[155][156] Choreographer Chang Sheng-feng, who collaborated with Tsai since her debut, claimed that she took time to watch Madonna's live performance. Tsai also described that "Madonna's every single dance move was powerful, and that's the stage performance style I'd look up to."[157] During her J1 World Tour (2004–06), Tsai appeared onstage on a rising platform and struck yoga poses, and later she claimed that it was inspired by Madonna's live performance during her Re-Invention World Tour (2004);[158] The music video of "Honey Trap" from Myself (2010) featured vogue in tribute to Madonna.[159] Madonna brought dance music into massive popularity in mainstream music scene, and it was similar to what Tsai would like to do in Greater China. Tsai commented, "pop singer should challenge pre-existing concepts and lead audience to accept new genres of music; Madonna's works were controversial and somewhat critically panned when just released, but after years they were considered masterpieces."[159][160] She has also named Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue, Sandy Lam, Faye Wong, Coco Lee, and A-mei as sources of inspiration.[161][162][163][163][164]

Public image

Known for reinventing her style and image, Tsai's music and fashion sense are noted by the media and general public.[165] Although she was modest in appearance in early years, her image and fashion has changed several times since the release of her fifth studio album, Magic (2003).[166] Around the time of the release of Magic, Japan's Ray magazine named her "Taiwan's trend-setter".[167] However, many critics felt that her style at the time was too similar to those of Japanese singer Ayumi Hamsaki.[168] In a public interview, Tsai spoke about comparisons to Hamasaki: "Fashion is a prevailing trend in the style in which a person dresses, but there is nothing to do with copy; I feel honored to be compared with her, but we are different though we have similar fashion sense."[169] With the release of her seventh studio album, J-game (2005), Tsai mostly dismissed her innocent image for a more sexy look.[170] In 2006, Tsai received an MTV Asia Award for the Style Award.[65] At the same time, Yahoo! Taiwan named her the most fashionable artist in Taiwan.[171] Described as one of the sexiest woman of her generation, Tsai is considered a sex symbol. She had appeared in the top ten on FHM Taiwan's "100 Sexiest Women in the World" list several times. In 2006, FHM Taiwan placed Tsai first on the list. In 2016, FHM Taiwan ranked her first on the list again.[172]

Tsai was considered a "quality product" in C-pop music industry, and she mostly obeyed the arrangements of her labels for commercial purpose in early years.[173] Since Magic (2003), each of her studio albums made her the best-selling female singer of the year in Taiwan. Dancing Diva (2006), Agent J (2007), and Butterfly (2009) each even made her the best-selling singer of the year in Taiwan.[160][174] Tsai is considered one of the highest-paid Chinese female singers of the 21st century. In 2010, Forbes China began reporting on earnings of Chinese celebrities born in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and abroad. In 2010, Forbes ranked Tsai seventh on their "Forbes China Celebrity 100" list with NT$222 million, made her the highest-paid Chinese female singer of the year.[175] In 2011 and 2012, she ranked fifteenth and seventh on the list with NT$262 million and NT$397 million, made her the second highest-paid Chinese female singer of both years.[176][177] In 2013 and 2014, she ranked ninth and twentieth on the list with NT$478 million and NT$260 million, made her the highest-paid Chinese female singer of both years.[178][179] In 2015, She ranked sixteenth on the list with NT$252 million, made her the second highest-paid Chinese female singer of the year.[180] As of December 2014, Tsai's net worth was estimated to be more than NT$2 billion.[181]

Having a dedicated fanbase composed mostly by female and gay people, Tsai is considered a gay icon.[182] In 2007, Tsai's "Bravo Lover" became the theme song of the 2007 Taiwan Pride parade.[183] Her other songs, including "Fantasy", "Dr. Jolin", "Gentlewoman", and "We're All Different, Yet the Same", all cater to the gay audience and support same-sex love.[184] In 2012, she signed the petition calling for Taiwan's government passing Marriage Equality Act and legalizing same-sex marriage in Taiwan.[184] Recognized as a long-term ally of the LGBT community, Tsai was given the Icon Award at the 2nd Asia LGBT Milestone Awards to praise her putting aside the pressure of public opinion and appreciate her using her influence to support same-sex love in Chinese-speaking countries.[185] In 2015, Tsai featured on the cover of lesbian-tamed magazine Lezs. In an interview with Lezs, she spoke about homophobia and advocated people to embrace all kinds of love.[185] She stated, "we have to give them the time to get to understand one another, since the definition of love varies from person to person."[186] During her Play World Tour (2015–16), Tsai gave a speech to support transgender people,[187] and spoke against the bullying of children and teenagers in general, including the bullying of gay teens and a related recent suicide in Taiwan.[188]

Achievements

Tsai has sold more than 25 million albums in Asia, and is recognized as one of the best-selling artist in Asia.[11] Due to the adverse impact from the copyright infringement and Internet downloads in Great China since the 2000s, Chinese recording artists have experienced losses and decrease in sales. However, since her album Magic (2003), each of her studio albums made her the best-selling female singer of the year in Taiwan.[174] Three albums–Dancing Diva (2006), Agent J (2007), and Butterfly (2009)–each even became the best-selling album of the year in Taiwan.[174] Tsai has 33 songs listed on the Hit FM Annual Top 100, the Taiwan's equivalent to the Billboard Year-End Hot 100.[189] With 4 songs–"Marry Me Today", "Sun Will Never Set", "Honey Trap", and "Play"–topping the chart, she became the singer with the most number-one songs on the chart, leading to a tie with Taiwanese singer Jay Chou.[189] Tsai has been honored with many awards and nominations domestically and internationally, including an MTV Video Music Award for International Viewer's Choice,[34] an MTV Asia Award for the Style Award,[65] an Mnet Asian Music Award for Best Asian Artist.[4] She has also won 6 Golden Melody Awards, the most equivalent to the Grammy Awards in Greater China, and made her the dance-pop singer with the most Golden Melody Award trophies received.[160] In 2016, her album Play set the record for the most Golden Melody Awards nominations (10 nominations), leading to a tie with Taiwanese singers Jay Chou's Fantasy (2001) and A-mei's Amit (2009).[190]

Other ventures

Products

In 2007, Tsai and her sister launched the nail polish brand named Oops! Jealous. With a range of nail polish products, the brand was originally available at the Taiwan's online shopping website PayEasy.[191] In 2009, Tsai's sister and friend opened a nail salon named Oops! J&I in Walnut, California, and the nail polish products were also available at the salon.[192] In 2010, Oops! Jealous collaborated with PayEasy to introduce a vending machine specialized in dispensing cosmetics into the shopping mall Q Square in Taipei.[191] In 2011, the brand was available at the personal care chain store Wastons in Taiwan.[191] In 2014, her sister's nail salon in the United States transferred the ownership to successor.[192]

In 2009, Tsai and Ken Erman, the founder of the fashion company Truth and Pride, co-founded the fashion brand, Seventy Two Changes, named after her 2003 album Magic (also as known as See My 72 Changes literally in Chinese).[85] The brand consisted of apparel, footwear, and accessories, and was available at department stores in more than 30 cities worldwide.[193] In 2010, Tsai opened the brand's first boutique at Shanghai Times Square in Shanghai.[193] The net profits of the two years was more than US$5 million.[193] However, the business was closed down in 2011 due to the difference of business ideas between shareholders in mainland China and United States.[194]

Philanthropy

Tsai has supported various charitable organizations and causes during her career. In 1999, Tsai donated part of the sales revenue of her debut album to help the victims of 1999 Jiji earthquake. In 2003, Tsai and other Taiwanese artists recorded a single titled "Hand in Hand" with the intention to call for fighting against the 2003 SARS outbreak. She then made a visit to Centers for Disease Control of Taiwan to meet with the medical staff and express her thanks to them.[195] At the same time, Tsai joined Ronald McDonald House Charities to support their program to build Ronald McDonald Family Room and improve the well being of sick children in Taiwan.[196] She donated part of the tickets revenue of the Taipei stop of her J1 World Tour to the organization in 2004.[197] She donated an extra NT$10 million to the organization in 2006.[198] In response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, Tsai donated several times anonymously to help the victims of the catastrophe.[199] In 2008, Tsai donated NT$5 million to help the victims of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake.[200] She then joined World Vision and represented the organization to visit the disaster area and express sympathy and solicitude to the victims of the disaster area.[201] In 2009, Tsai donated NT$2 million to help the victims of the typhoon Morakot.[202] In 2010, Tsai donated NT$1.5 million to help the victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[203] In 2013, Tsai donated NT$5 million to help the victims of the 2013 Lushan earthquake.[204] She then joined Sichuan Charity Federation and donated an extra NT$0.7 million to fund educational programs in the disaster area.[205] In 2014, Tsai donated NT$2 million to help the emergency workers and victims of the 2014 Kaohsiung gas explosions.[206] In 2016, Tsai joined Bazaar Charity Fund Foundation and China Siyuan Foundation for Poverty Alleviation to donate NT$3.5 million to help purchase ambulances for poverty-stricken areas in China.[207]
