Jay Chou to sing the Olympic theme

Singer Jay Chou says he has ambitious plans for the first half of this year. He announced on Wednesday he's going to hold a solo concert on May 1st in Beijing, to mark the 100-day countdown to the Olympic Games.

The Beijing performance will be the seventh stop, and where he'll  play at the Worker's Stadium. The Stadium is an Olympic football  venue.

From the mid-April to July, Jay Chou will give concerts in the cities of Hangzhou, Chongqing, Tianjin and Zhengzhou as stops on his world concert tour. The Beijing performance will be the seventh stop, and where he'll play at the Worker's Stadium. The Stadium is an Olympic football venue.

What will set the Beijing show apart from all the other stops on the tour is that Chou will offer his Beijing fans a song written especially for the upcoming Olympics. The BOCOG put out a call for Olympic songs from composers world-wide, and Chou will sing their musical creation.

Jay Chou, singer, said, "The Olympic song is going to be sung only during the Beijing concert. The melody is ready, and I'm waiting contributions from writers around the world to match the melody with appropriate lyrics."
