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.[1] However, she emerged champion at the singing competition where she sang a rendition of Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All" in the final round.[19] It was an accidental win that kickstarted her singing career and paved the way to her journey in becoming a teen idol.[19] In 1999, she majored in English literature at Fu Jen Catholic University, and signed a recording deal with Universal Music Taiwan.[13]

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."[177] It asserts Tsai's success is mostly due to her effort and diligence.[178] Her musical career has been a continuous experimentation with new musical ideas and new images.[178] Grant concluded that having established herself as the "Queen of C-Pop",[3] Tsai did not stop there, but continued re-inventing.[179] Before emerging as a dance-pop star, Tsai began her career as a teen idol.[6] Since the release of her debut album, 1019 (1999), which foreshadowed several trends in her later works, Tsai has spent her early years in a mix of bouncy teen pop songs and piano-driven ballads that mainly appealed to teenagers.[1] Her early dance-pop roots can be found on her second album, Don't Stop (2000), especially the successful eponymous lead single.[180] Tsai moved to a more up-tempo dance-pop direction with Magic (2003), which contained elements of nu-disco and hip hop.[181] The album's songs reveal several key trends that have continued to define her success, and she continued to make ballads and dance songs with hard-hitting beats for Castle (2004) and J-Game (2005).[13] Her mature artistic statement was visible in Dancing Diva (2006) and Agent J (2007), which heavily influenced by synth-pop and electropop.[13] Since then, Tsai began as a dance-pop diva, in an era that did not have any such Chinese singers to speak of, and she started to have a huge role in popularizing dance-pop as mainstream music in Greater China.[182] Myself (2010) and Muse (2012) were also highly electronic in style.[183] Myself is considered among her most adventurous, with almost all tracks are dance songs, which had never previously attempted by any Chinese singer.[184] Muse contained elements of progressive house, trance, and techno.[185] Tsai incorporated elements of dubstep and trap in Play (2014),[185] and experimented with more tropical house, drum & bass, and reggae in Ugly Beauty (2018).[186]

She emerged champion at an MTV singing competition, and she used a bright, girlish vocal timbre in her early albums.[13] However, she has been criticized in her early years for her vocals due to her limited vocal range.[187] Producer Bing Wang, 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."[188] 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.[72] However, her win for Best Mandarin Female Singer generated controversy from critics.[189] The awards jury responded that "she won due to her all-round talent and universal pop appeal."[189] Sam Chen, the president of Warner Music Taiwan, commented that she is "not a born vocalist but studied with vocal coaches."[190] Before the recording sessions of almost all of her studio albums, Tsai took vocal lessons, which increased her vocal range.[191] Producer Tiger Chung, who collaborated with Tsai on her album Play, praised her vocal range and power.[192] However, Play failed to earn her a Golden Melody Award nomination for Best Mandarin Female Singer.[193] It raised a controversy among general public, and the awards jury responded that they doubted the overuse of pitch correction in the album's songs.[193] However, Tsai's manager Tom Wang dismissed the rumours, "we welcome those who are in doubt to hear her live performance. I am confident with her ability," he said.[193] Critics Chen Le-jung, after watched her live performance during her Play World Tour, commented that Tsai is "being able to sing long and vocal runs effortlessly".[194]
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.[195] 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 her receive the champion.[196] Tsai also cited Destiny's Child major influence in her early music career, and she praised their powerful vocals and dance.[195] 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."[197] Choreographer Chang Sheng-feng, who collaborated with Tsai since her debut, claimed that she took time to watch Madonna's live performance.[190] Tsai also described that "Madonna's every single dance move was powerful, and that's the stage performance style I'd look up to."[190] During her J1 World Tour (2004–2006), 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);[198] The music video of "Honey Trap" from Myself (2010) features vogue in tribute to Madonna.[199] 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.[196] 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."[200][201] She has also named Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue, Sandy Lam, Faye Wong, Coco Lee, and A-Mei as sources of inspiration.[202][203][204][205][206]
Public image
Known for reinventing her style and image, Tsai's music and fashion sense are noted by the media and general public.[179] 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).[6] Around the time of the release of Magic, Japan's Ray magazine named her "Taiwan's trend-setter".[183] However, many critics felt that her style at the time was too similar to those of Japanese singer Ayumi Hamasaki.[207] 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."[207] With the beginning of her first concert tour, J1 World Tour (2004–2006), Tsai mostly dismissed her innocent image for a more sexy look.[208] In 2006, Tsai received an MTV Asia Award for the Style Award.[67] At the same time, Yahoo! Taiwan named her the most stylish artist in Taiwan.[209] Since 2007, Tsai has been invited to watch the "Big Four" fashion weeks, Met Gala, and Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, made her the first Chinese singer that has been officially invited to attend all of these notable fashion events.[210] Her appearance has landed her on the cover of magazines such as Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, and Vogue. Tsai is also considered a sex symbol.[211] In 2006, FHM Taiwan ranked her fourteenth on the "100 Sexiest Women in the World" list. She also had appeared in the top ten on the list eight times in the subsequent ten years. In 2016, FHM Taiwan ranked her first on the list again.[212]
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.[213] Since Magic (2003), each of her studio albums at least became the best-selling album by a female artist of the year in Taiwan.[214] Dancing Diva (2006), Agent J (2007), and Butterfly (2009) each even became the best-selling album of the year in Taiwan.[215] 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.[216] 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.[217][218] 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.[219][220] In 2015, she ranked sixteenth on the list with NT$252 million, made her the second highest-paid Chinese female singer of the year.[221] In 2017, due to the declining influence of Chinese music industry,[222] she ranked eighty-third on the list with NT$229 million, but still made her the third highest-paid Chinese female singer of the year.[223] As of December 2014, Tsai's net worth was estimated to be more than NT$2 billion.[224]
Having a dedicated fanbase composed mostly by female and gay people, Tsai is considered a gay icon.[225][226] In 2007, Tsai's "Bravo Lover" became the theme song of the 2007 Taiwan Pride parade.[227] Her other songs, including "Fantasy", "Dr. Jolin", "Gentlewoman", "We're All Different, Yet the Same", and "Womxnly", all cater to the gay audience and support same-sex love.[227][228] In 2012, she signed the petition calling for Taiwan's government passing Marriage Equality Act and legalizing same-sex marriage in Taiwan.[227] 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 world.[227] In 2015, Tsai featured on the cover of lesbian-themed magazine Lezs.[227] In an interview with Lezs, she spoke about homophobia and advocated people to embrace all kinds of love.[227] 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."[227] During her Play World Tour (2015–2016), Tsai gave a speech to support transgender people, and spoke against the bullying of children and teenagers in general, including the bullying of gay teens and a related recent suicide in Taiwan.[229]
Personal life
Tsai was rumored to have a relationship with Taiwanese singer Jay Chou after their collaboration on "Can't Speak Clearly", which appeared on her fourth studio album Lucky Number (2001).[230] In December 2001, Tsai and Chou were first spotted dining at an izakaya in Shinjuku, Japan.[230] Although they did not admit to their relationship, their romance was an open secret in those years.[231] However, in February 2005, Chou was spotted shopping intimately with Taiwanese news presenter Patty Hou in Shibuya, Japan.[231] Since then, Tsai deliberately avoided meeting Chou and Hou during public events.[232] In June 2010, Tsai and Chou finally made amends, and Tsai appeared as a special guest at Chou's concert in Taipei and shocked the public.[233] In July 2013, when being interviewed by Taiwanese TV host Matilda Tao, for the first time, Tsai admitted she used to be in love with Chou.[234] In addition, Tsai said that since Chou cheated on her, she felt disappointed and broke up with Chou.[234] In January 2007, Tsai and Taiwanese actor Eddie Peng were spotted shopping in a mall in London.[235] In September 2008, Peng had a conflict with his management company of the time, Power Generation, and the reason was believed to be the company tried to interrupt his affair with Tsai and then led them to break up.[236] In August 2009, Peng's former manager Liu Wei-tzu confirmed they tried to interrupt Tsai and Peng's relationship, and she also confirmed that they started a relationship in mid 2006 and it lasted three years.[237] In July 2010, New Zealand model Vivian Dawson featured in the music video of Tsai's "Love Player".[238] In September 2010, Tsai and Dawson were spotted on a date in Tokyo.[239] In February 2013, Dawson took Tsai to visit his parents and relatives in New Zealand, and their relationship was believed to be settled.[240] In December 2016, Tsai's manager Tom Wang confirmed Tsai and Dawson parted amicably in November and remain close friends.[241]
Achievements
Tsai has sold more than 25 million albums in Asia, and is recognized as one of the best-selling artist in Asia.[10] Due to the adverse impact from the copyright infringement and Internet downloads in Greater 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 at least became the best-selling album by a female artist of the year in Taiwan.[214] Three albums—Dancing Diva (2006), Agent J (2007), and Butterfly (2009)—each even became the best-selling album of the year in Taiwan.[215] Tsai has 39 songs listed on the Hit FM Top 100 Singles of the Year, the Taiwan's equivalent to the Billboard Year-End Hot 100.[242] With five songs—"Marry Me Today", "Sun Will Never Set", "Honey Trap", "Play", and "Ugly Beauty"—topping the chart, she became the singer with the most number-one songs on the chart.[168] Tsai has been honored with numerous awards and nominations domestically and internationally, including an MTV Video Music Award for International Viewer's Choice,[33] an MTV Asia Award for the Style Award,[67] an Mnet Asian Music Award for Best Asian Artist.[243] She has also won six 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.[244] In 2016, her album Play set the record for the most Golden Melody Awards nominations (ten nominations), leading to a tie with Taiwanese singers Jay Chou's Fantasy (2001) and A-Mei's Amit (2009).[245]
