The 'Queen of House Sales' Makes a Comeback: Jess Lee Jiawei Goes Viral Again on 'Singer 2025'

'Iron Lung Diva' Jess Lee Jiawei returns to 'Singer 2025', and in the eighth episode, she challenged the classic song 'Queen' as a challenger singer. The moment she opened her mouth, she showcased her powerful range spanning three octaves, ultimately advancing smoothly with a 94.5% vote rate (460 votes), and was crowned 'textbook-level performance' on the spot. During a recent livestream responding to her trending status, Jess Lee admitted this was her second time topping the trending list, and she was deeply moved by it.

She revealed that her first time on the trending list was during a low point in her career in 2020, when she switched careers to become a real estate agent. At that time, her trending label was 'Queen of House Sales', which made her feel desperate and worry that she would be forgotten. This time, she topped the list with '#JessLeeIsAwesome#', and she happily laughed: 'It was as surprising as winning the lottery.' Her agent even told her that this trending topic was seen by about 100 million people, which she found unbelievable.

She regards this trending moment as 'a gift of ten years’ accumulation,' and commented emotionally: 'Everyone can feel what I want to express through my performance and my songs—everything is worth it.' Facing the ups and downs of life, she confidently stated, 'Life is meant to have its ups and downs; you need to hold on when you're down, and stay steady when you're up.' Interestingly, Jess revealed that after she trended, someone actually contacted her agent wanting to hire her as a real estate agent! This made her laugh and cry at the same time, and she quickly clarified: 'I'm now a full-time singer!' But she also graciously said that if anyone wanted to invite her to act, she wouldn’t be opposed.

When asked which singer she admired most, she immediately named Jolin Tsai, saying that Jolin’s solid skills and continuous improvement were always worth learning from.

Interestingly, when host He Jiong introduced Jess Lee that night, the camera happened to turn backstage, capturing the instant when she opened her mouth to begin singing. Many netizens were amused after seeing it, responding: 'Can her mouth really open that wide? I literally laughed until I cried', 'I replayed that scene ten times', 'Even her vocal warm-up is so dedicated—no wonder her vocals are so powerful,' while some thought it was some sort of prank show.
