Jolin Tsai 蔡依林 (born September 15, 1980) is a Taiwanese Golden Melody Award Mandopop singer, dancer and actor. Though Tsai was introverted and shy as a child, she intensively studied English during her youth and eventually majored in English Literature at Fu Jen Catholic University. During her childhood years, Tsai developed an interest in singing and experimented with different vocal techniques after listening to the songs of popular female singers such as Teresa Teng and Faye Wong. Tsai first started her singing career by taking part in an MTV singing competition at the age of 18. She won the top prize at the competition with her rendition of Whitney Houston’s #1 hit “Greatest Love of All“. She was then signed by Universal Music.
In July 1999, her first single, Living With the World was released. It was sold in convenience stores and was a tremendous success, which led to the release of her first album, Jolin 1019, in September 1999. At that time, she was promoted as “The Girl Next Door,” and was an instant hit with teenagers, earning her the title “Teenage Boy Killer”. Jolin 1019 ended up selling more than 400,000 copies in Asia. With the success of her first album, she released her second album in May 2000, Don’t Stop. Many of the hits from that album were well known throughout Asia as the album also became a tremendous success. She also released her first photobook with pictures mainly taken in Hawaii.
During the two years she faced conflict with her recording company, before signing with Sony BMG, she pursued an acting career. She debuted in a popular soap series called Hi, Working Girl. The series, about a female worker enduring the taboos of dating her own superior in the office, became a huge hit that allowed Tsai’s fans to follow her amidst her hold on singing. Since her acting debut, Jolin Tsai continues to pursue her acting career by filming music videos on the side. In an interview, she stated that after her music career is over, she hopes to make movies full time, learn more about filming, and act in movies.
Tsai’s first single with Sony Music, Spirit Of The Knight became a big hit that led to the highly anticipated release of her fifth album Magic. The album topped the Taiwan album charts for three months. More than 300,000 copies were sold in Taiwan alone, and over a million copies were sold in Asia. After the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, Tsai was one of the first few artists to contribute to the Earthquake Relief Fund. – Wikipedia

Why we think she’s hot:
After rendering a cover of Whitney Houston’s former number one hit, Greatest Love of All, garnering her the top prize at an MTV competition in 1998, the good folks at Universal Music quickly put the pen to paper for Jolin Tsai. Years later, her own song, Slow Life, is being used by nearly 3,000 schools in Taiwan, as a replacement for the old-style recess bell. And no, we’re not kidding. It may be even harder to believe that this raven haired, Virgo, “Teenage Boy Killer” turned 30 in September 2010- considering how she effortlessly employs the kind of youthful looks, which could easily allow her to pass as one of the girls on those very same schoolyards.
