I Wished Jolin Tsai Played Anita Mui In "Anita"

What I found weird was that F4 led me to listen to the music of the late Teresa Teng. F4 was also the reason why I became a fan of Jolin Tsai -- once dubbed the Britney of Taiwan though I prefer to call her Madonna of Taiwan. Take note that I have nothing against Louise Wong and she still did the part well. However, I felt that someone else could've played the late actress. That actress is Taiwanese actress Jolin Tsai. 

It was because of Jolin Tsai that I learned to appreciate Anita Mui's music. I only listened to Anita's songs after she died on December 30, 2023. It was my time to appreciate more of the Cantonese language and its songs. 

Before that, I saw Jolin Tsai perform the song "Love Love Love" on MYX -- which is a cover of "Stop Stop Stop" by Nu Virgo. It was easy to see why Jolin was compared to Britney. However, the more I saw her, the more I thought about Madonna instead. There were several other songs, but her song "Love Love Love" caught my eye first.

I was in college when I saw Anita's dance performances -- on YouTube! It was hard for me NOT to compare the two singers. Sure, Anita and Jolin belong to two different eras. They're similar yet different. Both got called Madonna. Anita was termed as Madonna of Asia and the Madonna of Hong Kong. I'm no expert in song and dance. However, it was hard for me not to think Jolin and Anita had similar styles -- they were both into the dance music genre of their respective periods!

However, I also recognize the limits. Jolin was more of a singer-dancer than an actress. Anita was more big-screen material than Jolin. However, Jolin could've probably pulled off playing Anita IMHO.

Just my thoughts!
