June 12, 2007 at 03:04 AM posted in General DiscussionHey Everyone, I went to Taiwan in the summer of 2006 for a summer exchange program. It was absolutely amazing. I love it and I want to go back, which is one of the main reasons I want to learn Chinese. But anyway, I want to tell everyone about an amazing man by the name of Wang Lee Hom. Many of you may have heard of him already, but you may not have. Who is he? He's a musician who is famous in Asia, and he is extremely talented. Besides having the capability of speaking 5 languages, he can also play many instruments. I wanted to tell everybody about Wang Lee Hom because I believe his music is an excellent way to learn Mandarin as well.

When I went to China we were given bottles of water to rehydrate ourselves form the blistering heat. I took one look at my waterbottle and promptly took a second look.
It was none other than 王力宏!! So I immediately carefully took off the plastic label off the waterbottle and saved it neatly in my backpack. I took several other labels too.
Anway, haha, I love his songs as well, and I totally agree that his lyrics are a great way to learn!!

模仿黑人没问题，可是王力宏说英语与华语都要把他自己的声音摆架子来模仿黑人的口音，而且他所有新歌都是很不真实的嘻哈的。我觉得王力宏唱那么多嘻哈的歌曲就是为了利用趋势赚钱而宣传他自己的名利。
我觉得现在的王力宏很假！
我为什么是这样认为的呢？ 因为我看过原来王力宏的性格，声音和作品一点黑人的特色都没有呗！我觉得王力宏的本质彰显不是这种他现在表现的嘻哈小孩儿的。

trevlu,
对，这首歌的感觉很轻快，让人听了心情非常好！这是力宏早期的作品，因为很经典，所以一直喜欢到现在！
PS：他的T恤是很酷！^_^
王力宏的哪一首歌，你唱的最好？^_^

Hi pcmi4,
I think that there's nothing wrong with xiaohu's comment.

我也早就很喜欢王力宏了。2002年我开始学中文的时候为了提高我的中文水平我到华人地区去找好听的国语歌。在货架上我看到王力宏的唯一碟了，我问店员，“这个歌星的音乐怎么样”
她回答，“很好听而这个歌星在亚洲挺受欢迎的，你肯定喜欢”。
因为碟是盗版的所以它包括一些补充的歌，比如 Julia 和，如果你听见我的歌。听完光碟之后我一瞬间就成为一个王力宏迷了呀！
我特别喜欢，“如果你听见我的歌”。出去跟朋友唱卡拉OK我一定要唱这首歌。
我锻炼啊，吃饭啊，开车啊甚至睡觉都听者王力宏的歌而随着光碟唱。
我也觉得王力宏很有天才的，因为他会许多语言比如，英语啊，国语啊，广东话啊，日语都会讲而且他会演奏很多乐器，我很崇拜他。
但是最近王力宏好像变成了一个黑人崇拜模仿者就盲目崇拜黑人的风格和声音，很可惜好像王力宏已经丧失他独创力了！
他 Chinked Out 的阶段就是最可笑的。
我在拉斯维加斯看他的演唱会，那时他的 Chinked Out 阶段在热烈进行中，我觉得他所有最新的歌曲都就是缺乏创造性的 R&B 的歌。
我希望王力宏的音乐可以好转而再成为像原来的那样，又好听又有创造性的。

我也很喜欢王力宏的歌，尤其喜欢他的2006年‘盖世英雄’专辑。我希望他快一点'release‘(这个怎么说）新歌！
恩，我觉得学习中文的人应该听一听他的歌，因为歌词很简单，而且他的发音很清晰。
I also like Leehom's songs, especially his 2006 album "Heroes of the Earth." I hope he releases new songs soon.
Yep, I think people studying Chinese should listen to his songs, because the lyrics are so simple and his pronunciation is very clear.

我非常喜欢听王力宏。 他本事很多，很厉害。
cassielin，‘我们的歌’ 又好听又有用。 对我来说，歌词刚好，不太难不太容易。我也喜欢 ’不完整的旋律’ 不过比较难理解。

I met Wang Lee Hom in the Taipei Underground Mall... he was raising money for some charity and he approached me with his huge (over fifty) gang of sexy girls... shook my hand and talked to me about the charity....... flashing lights, cameras, screaming girls - scared the crap out of me... hehe.... i still don't know why he chose to approach me, maybe because i'm a foreigner? but, anyway, it was fun... :)

My favorite song by Lee Hom? Thats so hard! I literally love so many of his songs...心中的日月 (Sun and moon in my heart)...Ya Birthday, 竹林深處 (Deep within the bamboo grove), 星座 (Astrology), 蓋世英雄 (Heroes of Earth), 花田錯 (Mistake in the flower field), 在梅邊 (Beside the plum blossom), 大城小愛 (Big City Small Love).
And many more. Lee Hom rocks.

The Wiki photo is deceptive advertising, we can actually see more than his Head & Shoulders.

Lee Hom is one of the Chinese singers out there that has legitimate talent. I'm not a fan of his recent stuff, but to each his own.

I don't know about the "gorgeous" part, but I've heard a few of his songs and I dig his music from time to time. :-)

我经常要唱力宏的kiss goodbye因为它好听， 不过那首歌我唱得不容易。
也喜欢唱‘我们的歌’，又简单又好听。意思就是这首歌好听，不是我唱得好听. 我唱什么歌都难听！
