New Album is out!! Go buy it :]

creds to me for uploading and http://yekaroo.com for providing.
Leehom's lastest album, remember to go out and get your copy smile.gif


Leehom Wang's highly anticipated new album is here! In 2006, the talented singer-songwriter was crowned the Best Male Mandarin Singer at the Golden Melody Awards, and staged a successful concert tour, bringing his music to fans throughout Asia. Beyond that, he devoted much of his time to acting in Ang Lee's new film Lust, Caution, set in 1930s Shanghai. With shooting finally wrapped up, Leehom is returning to music with the album Change My Ways.

In his last two albums, Heroes of Earth and Shangri-la, Leehom championed a fusion of hip hop and Chinese traditional music, a musical style that he dubbed "chinked-out". For his latest album, he is ready to "change his ways" and present a new image and new musical ventures. His latest album will take on a cleaner and more mellow sound, as can be heard in his new song "Falling Leaf Returns To Root". No matter what musical direction the singer takes, it is clear the one thing that won't change is the quality, sincerity, and talent that comes with every Leehom Wang album.

3. Right eye moves outward (外雙),Left eye moves inward (內雙)

that was translated SO INACCURATELY. they're about his double eyelids, not his eyes.

but anyway, I adore this guy. He's the closest to perfect than any person I know of.

There are over 350 videos uploaded in the YouTube Leehom group so goooo watch :]
*.:StarryEyeSurprise:.*
He's my fav chinese singer
SO talented and smart
good looking too
and such a nice guy ^^
Joanna
OHH YAY that's for starting a Lee Hom thread! he's one of my fav Chinese singers!! hehee

MzBeciko

jho
Woow there are so many WLH fans out here on Soompi XD
KooZyAnn
He performed an olympic song?? When was this?!
singerchick
I <33 Him. He brought my interest back into Chinese music.

And the awesome part is that he's awesomely nice. I was afraid that he would be like those stars who happen to have "bad' days, but he's so sweet. Even though he had just gotten off the plane for his music video shoot at LOs Angeles, he was still extremely sweet to his fans. And the fans that met him in Australia all chatted with him for around 30 or so minutes in the airport. He's so real and down to earth. smile.gif

So one day I got bored and I decided to google up his little brother's name and I found his little brother's named listed at all these sites. It's kind of scary. That whole family is crazy smart.

National Merit Finalist
2003 Presidential Scholars Program 2003 Candidates (top 30 boys and top 30 girls in EACH STATE)
Perfect score in the NY mathematics League
Mathematical olympiad participee
United States of America Mathematical Olympiad State qualifier
3rd place in the state of NY for CONTINENTAL CHESS ASSOCIATION

That's only what I've googled..and to imagine Leekai probably has a trillion more awards... not a surprise he got accepted into MIT.



Dude Leehom's whole family is smart. What with his lil bro at MIT and him recieving a 1600 on his SATS and being accepted into princeton and yale and going to williams the #1 liberal arts school in America. and his big brother a doctor. It's so amazing that's he's so well rounded. And he's one of the few entertainers in the chinese music stage that actually has a master's degree in music.


8. Has to brush teeth before recording He has such adorable habits

his english is sooo f'ing sexy
PureEssence
I love this guy and he is one of the handsomest celebrities ever. biggrin.gif There is a thread for him already at the Photo section.
Blue Lemonade
I didn't know he loves to sleep naked XD

He's my favourite artist after JJ Lin, although I must admit I think talent wise.. Leehom has more talents. Even my mom loves this guy. What I like the most in him (aside from his talents) is how he's so sweet, probably the sweetest celebrity I've ever came across liking ><
yuans7love
^lol~ my mom's in love with him too laugh.gif

I mean he's... perfect

seriously there's no other words to describe him. He's smart, good looking, tall, hard working, creative, passionate, oh god i can go on forever. Also I love how he's ABC but he's so in-tune with his ethnicity that he even incorporates them into his music like his latest Heroes of Earth album. This man is genious. I love him so much!!!
Blue Lemonade
^ hahah.. I was watching a concert and Leehom was there, my mom walks in and just fell in love with him tongue.gif After that, she took all my Leehom CDs and put it in her car XD

I know!

There are so many ABCS around where I live who totally dislike anything asian they automatically assume you are a FOB if you listen to Chinese songs. I mean sometimes I get the feeling that these ABCs feel that they are better and are sort of ashamed to be tied to their cultures. They try soo hard to seperate Chinese from American. Well I have to admit I used to be like that, but Leehom's music has really opened me up. tongue.gif

My mom likes him, because he's such an awesome role model but she gets pissed sometimes if I obsess over him a bit too much lol. Also it kind of sucks because she goes... "so maybe you think you can get into princeton or yale like Leehom did?" fury.gif .....LOL

WHERE WHERE WHERE

I got a golden chance to be at his first N. American concert ever but my mom won't want to go wtih me to his concert so I asked if I can take the bus and she goes NO and I asked how about the plane and she says NO so there's no way. I'm so sad. I want him to come back.

Lol that brushing teeth thing is so funny. "hello, I'm wang lee hom and I like to brush my teeth"

TATA Young and he have good chemistry kinda.. They joke around a lot haha.

AWW I love him!! He's my role model too.

So guys, when did you first fall in love with him?For me, Thina's myspace had his song Zodiac and I liked it so I searched for ever to find the artist and then I went to buy his Shangrila cd and it had his cover on it and I was like OMG and then I looked up a little bit more about him and I fell in love even more.

When is he coming back to America?

When is he coming back to America?
I remember when he FIRST debuted in the late 90s or something I was really young and still lived in China but i remember there was one song that was pretty popular. And then i think it was his 8th Album "wei yi" that i started to like him again 'cause i loved that song. And then i became a fanatic when his 10th album "umbelievable" came out and i've been obsessed ever since tongue.gif

I hope he has a world tour or something that way he can come to the US.
vc1188
^ He JUST had a concert in the US so it'll be another two+ years =___=
tinyblueangel
but he didn't have one on the east coast T-T isn't he starting another world tour though? and the first stop is in taiwan...so maybe he'll make his way back over here again and this time he'll be in NY or somewhere in the east coast so i at least have some hope of going to it lol

hm...i didn't actually fall in love with him until his heroes of earth album but i've listened to his songs, probably around the time he released his unbelievable album. when he released shangrila i started to like him more but i still wasn't all that crazy about him because like with most artists, i just like their songs but i would never really become interested in the singer themself. but now i think you can say i'm kinda obsessed over him haha

is anyone here going to be going to his concert in taiwan? it sounds REALLY awesome and westlife is one of his guests...i wonder who the guest will be for the 2nd night. i'm hoping it's kelly clarkson =P she's apart of sonybmg also and if she had a duet with leehom that would just make my day.

Hi! Are you the girl who always translates his aritcles? You know I think the more I know about him the more in love I am with him because he seems to be genuinely in love with music from his 1995 debut to now he has not changed his love for music a bit.

I heard Mayday may be a guest for his concert. I'm not sure.

I think some people have this superiority complex. They have this image of China as this traditional rural place, and if you listen to asian music they think your automatically not updated with the "current" trend. I don't know, I mean I personally find lyrics to alot of chinese songs alot more intrigueing than 50 Cent and his escapades at the Candy Shop.

He had another one in New York like last month, but it was a joint concert. My parents suprisingly let me go to his Las Vegas and I have to say, it's one of the best times I've ever had in LV.

He's an awesome role model, he followed his dreams and he still maintained his ideals and didn't drop out of school after becoming famous. He's also really down to earth even on his "bad days." YAY.

I first heard about him in a 2002 Winter GAla festival thing, but I didn't really pay attention to him because I thought he was another "f4 pretty boy." I don't know, but his long hair and stuff just gave off that impression. It was until 2004 when I heard his Unbelievable album that I realized he composed, wrote lyrics, arranged, played instrumentals, and produced his songs. I was very pleasantly surprised. And the more I foudn out about him the more perfect he got. I mean with his 1600 on his SATs, his ability to speak a trillion languages, his ability to learn so fast (he didn't speak chinese until he was 18ish), and his ability to play so many instrments. But what really keeps me in love with him is HIS PASSION FOR MUSIC. He's one of the very few artists that truely makes music because he loves music. He is an awesome writer and he always writes about his music, and it allows us listeners a deeper understanding into what he was intending and thinking when he was composing. I don't find that in many artists nowadays. Reading his pieces of writings and his interviews, and just soaking in his love for music, I just really respect him because he is a true musician. Behind teh fame and fortune, music is his passion and life. It's so touching when you hear him speak about his music because he can go on and on, and he's one the few celebrities that doesn't just publicity stunts to get famous. He concentrates on his own music. He used to keep an online journal and reading those journals just gave me so much more respect for him. I don't know if anyone else has read his writings, if you guys have then you probably know what I mean. I just respect him so much more. Ok that was a really long rant. LOL

Lol I think it's healthier like it allows your blood to flow better? or soemthing

My mom started liking Leehom alot after we met him at his music video shoot becuase she felt he was really down to earth and didnt' have an "air" about him. My mom felt he was still like a normal person, except he looked really tired, but still was extremely corteous. But she really admired his musicial abilities especially after his instrumental performances and his LIVE SINGING (omg that was heaven his voice<333) at his LV concert, she was blown away especially by his violin playing. And she was liek "wow this guy really does have talent." hahah smile.gif
.::Miyuki::.
i like him, he's soooooooooooo cute. but i don't really like his singing voice>o<but he's very talented in music though
lazibratt
singerchick: What's the link to his online journal?! You met him in real life?! You're making me feel bad.. I really wanted to go to the LV concert.

Ok if I ever meet him, I want to ask him how did he learn chinese so fast? I lost my cantonese speaking abilities at age 10 (I've been americanized) and now I'm slowly trying to regain it. I've been taking mandarin again and can read some characters and if it's all in a paragraph: I can piece words together and know the jist of the paragraph you know? I only know conversational cantonese like him (yet he only learned it a few years ago sleep.gif) and I can't understand the radio shows and the tv shows with canto in it. That's what I want to ask him haha when I meet him.

He really seems truly in love with his music. You hear his interviews and you see the smile that comes up when he talks about his songs and his albums. I love that :doing something he really loves. AWW they took out that heart smiley well pretend it's here :heart: haha <3

When is the Taiwan concert? I might go if it's during spring break or the summer.

I think he's coming back to NY to do a concert b/c it's obvious now his music is popular in the U.S. and NY is his hometown so yea.

I remember reading somewhere that he feels that Americans don't appreciate Chinese music and just thinks that it's just the old style ones. I SO agree with him. But now I think he and the fellow modern chinese artists and even korean ones make the Americans realize that asian music is just as good as American ones.

ooo how nice... a thread for lee hom, yay!

hey at least he makes it to your countries. Havent ever heard of him coming down under yet... so i shall have to sit and wait...

the weird thing is that i'm a fan of f4 @.@ but then again i never really considered myself a fan of their music, but a supporter because i'm a fan. but if it wasn't because of f4 i definitely would've never known about leehom. f4 might not be that talented music-wise...or acting-wise but i somehow like them, they are actually the 1st celebrities i became crazy over (leehom being 2nd) and also how i came to learn mandarin as well as translate.

I lost the link, but then he's an amazing writer, so I saved all his journal entries somewhere:

This is one of his more "heart breaking" entries.

Dear Friends,
Tonight, like every night, I am alone in my hotel room. For some strange reason, the routine feels overbearing right now, and homesickness squeezes my heart sore all around my chest. Although the sound of the air conditioner's fan saves me from having to listen to utter silence, the wind is slightly too cold on my naked body. I turn it off, and then notice a slight ringing in my right ear. It is the ear that held the headphone monitor as I sang at tonight's "Ming Ge Yi Shu Jie" concert in Nanning. As usual, the crowd was a crazy sea of young noises, the music was pumped full of life, my voice was strong and passionate... I love my job.

But the nights are so lonely. The memories of tonight's CCTV live concert seem to only accentuate the stillness of my bedroom now. When my writing inspiration comes to an end, then I'll turn off this bedside lamp and sleep. I have come to believe that men mature in isolation. Isolation, being along with one's thoughts can be a form of meditation and enlightenment. Perhaps one matures when he realizes that he is ultimately alone in this world, and that he must take responsibility for his own life, because no one else will.

Physically being alone speeds up this realization. Like Tom Hanks in "Castaway". I believe in building from the ground up, whether it be corporate models, orchestra scores, or interpersonal relationships. For example, one needs to learn to love himself before being able to love others. One needs to be able to live in harmony with himself before being able to live together with another person. I guess if I look at it that way, I sure am leading the life these days, becoming a secure individual.

Thinking, meditating, feeling, composing,...searching for that rhythm in my soul that will make the whole world tap their feet. Yes, I miss my friends, and loved ones, but tonight, I wouldn't trade this loneliness for anything. Thanks for listening to my thoughts tonight, friends.

Goodnight.

peace on earth, Leehom


I met him before the Lv Concert. He was shooting a music video in Los Angeles smile.gif I posted a really long post on the experience...I'll find it lol.

Ok if I ever meet him, I want to ask him how did he learn chinese so fast? I lost my cantonese speaking abilities at age 10 (I've been americanized) and now I'm slowly trying to regain it. I've been taking mandarin again and can read some characters and if it's all in a paragraph: I can piece words together and know the jist of the paragraph you know? I only know conversational cantonese like him (yet he only learned it a few years ago sleep.gif) and I can't understand the radio shows and the tv shows with canto in it. That's what I want to ask him haha when I meet him.


I know..that's amazing from someone who barely to spoke english to writing his own lyrics? Dude I can't even write lyrics in English HAHA. After starting to like Leehom and visiting his asian fansties my chinese has improved just a teeny bit lol. but Leehom's a fast learner.. He didn't learn the piano until he was 18 hahaha that means I still have hope.

QUOTE

He really seems truly in love with his music. You hear his interviews and you see the smile that comes up when he talks about his songs and his albums. I love that :doing something he really loves. AWW they took out that heart smiley well pretend it's here :heart: haha <3


That's what I love and respect about him. He loves what he does and I can feel his passion in his works. And I love the fact that he isn't afraid to mix it even if it doesn't recieve the best response at times lol.

QUOTE

When is the Taiwan concert? I might go if it's during spring break or the summer.


Lol it's next week. smile.gif Here's the poster for it smile.gif

I think he's coming back to NY to do a concert b/c it's obvious now his music is popular in the U.S. and NY is his hometown so yea.


I hope he comes back the U.S for another concert at the end of this year smile.gif

QUOTE

I remember reading somewhere that he feels that Americans don't appreciate Chinese music and just thinks that it's just the old style ones. I SO agree with him. But now I think he and the fellow modern chinese artists and even korean ones make the Americans realize that asian music is just as good as American ones.


Yeah, Leehom wrote this:

Simply put, I want people from all over the world who don't even speak Chinese to be able to listen to a song and say, "Hey, that sounds like a Chinese pop song!" Based on my own experiences and past studies in ethnomusicology, Chinese music DOES have it's own identity and soul; the trick is to take these characteristics and translate them into the pop music style. (Now I'm writing to you from my hotel in Shanghai!)

Today's media, which is the way the public perceives things, is becoming more and more unified. Huge multinational internet conglomerates like CNN or AOL etc, give us the news, tell us what are the best movies, recommend restaurants, and let us communicate globally with great ease. There is no doubt that media and technology has made the world smaller, but in a sense it also sways the public opinion in countless arenas. We learn what they think is important for us to know. At worst, this has lead to people not thinking for themselves, and simply following public opinion. Will different cultures eventually fuse into one? Maybe, I don't know.

However, I think as the world gets smaller it has never been more important for different people to maintain and be proud of our differences. It would be a shame if an American pop artist were to travel to Asia and find that our pop music sounds the same as theirs, just with Chinese lyrics. Remember, it is our differences that entice us to travel, and keep us curiously studying other cultures. It is these differences that add spice and mystery to our lives.

lol i've translated a few of his articles and his lyrics, but not that many
the weird thing is that i'm a fan of f4 @.@ but then again i never really considered myself a fan of their music, but a supporter because i'm a fan. but if it wasn't because of f4 i definitely would've never known about leehom. f4 might not be that talented music-wise...or acting-wise but i somehow like them, they are actually the 1st celebrities i became crazy over (leehom being 2nd) and also how i came to learn mandarin as well as translate.


Lol I have nothing against F4, but I just don't like them as musicians. I mean I don't dislike them, but I don't bother really to listen to their music. But I do like them as actors. lol does that make sense? When I first heard Leehom I was immedietly reminded of F4, and so I was kind of afraird that he would be a mediocore singer who couldn't sing. It really shocked me when I realized how frikin smart and talented he was.

You have really good translating skills lol

I adore WLH. He's so cute and I love his voice! (He looks nowhere near turning 30) I read on yesasia that he helped compose Jolin Tsai's J-Game album; that album was the best I've heard from her. smile.gif



He helped produce Jolin's J-Game album and he composed 1 song on it. I'm not sure if they'll have any future collabs though because Jolin isn't part of SONYBMG anymore

i think if you're exposed to it enough you'll start to improve...like for me i originally knew cantonese and later self-taught myself mandarin. i guess knowing cantonese already helped me learn faster since they are similar. i just watched a lot of videos in mandarin and then also started to try to translate chinese articles, which helped me read subtitles. so if i didn't understand something i'd look down at the subtitles and now i can understand basic mandarin pretty well, as well as recognize more chinese words because when you translate you see the words a lot and it sticks in your head. so if you just expose yourself more to it you'll grasp it easier.

Two obvious reasons I can think of:
1. a LOT of exposure (living in Taiwan; family)
2. he's naturally a fast learner. Some people can learn languages faster than others

Leehom holds concert at Taipei Ju Dan, Friends all attend but A-mei nowhere to be seen

Friends @ Concert

Singer Leehom Wang held a concert at Taipei's Ju Dan on the night of the 11th. Many of his celebrity friends attended. Xiao S, who still hasn't officially recovered from giving birth, was singing and dancing below the stage. In addition, other friends such as Yu Cheng Qin, Alan Luo Zhi Xiang, S.H.E, etc, were all there. Only rumored girlfriend A-mei was nowhere to be seen.

Leehom started off very traditionally, wearing a long golden traditional Chinese gown and swinging a red flag. Once the music changed and the gown was off, the familiar hip hop style returned. Dancing is rare for Leehom, therefore causing fans to scream excitedly.

Furthermore, Westlife's performance of English love songs also caused fans to go crazy. And there were also his friends within the circle like Yu Cheng Qin, who we haven't seen in a while, Alan Luo Zhi Xiang, S.H.E as well as Xiao S, who is still recovering, were all dancing with joy.

All his friends attended his concert with the exception of his rumored girlfriend A-mei, who was nowhere to be seen.
