Wang Lee Hom - Beside The Plum Blossoms MV

[oleefrancis]

Traditional Music + Modern Music = Wang Lee Hom..

[oleefrancis]

He is the best person in the world...

[Deadboy99]

What the fuck kinda ending...

[skcltf]

ok how many more genres can he do seriously?

[JMLVR893]

Chinese Trey Songz

[catgirl1001a]

i love this song, i only wish it was sung in english when i sing along at school in this language everyone stops to look at me they think its weird that i have heard it before.

[honghuy37]

@cybersk I am not disputing the facts you presented, but the link you made to make a claim that he is all "American talent", "made in America", or "American artist" ... I am sorry, but this is as far fetched as Korean claiming Bruce Lee is from Korea.

[cybersk]

think he is an american artist, he was born, grew up, and educated there. He also studied music there. Just went to Taiwan later.

"Taiwan artist" ha ha ha.

But he's great because original talent comes from USA.

[chrisc1081]

This Wong Lee Hom rap song.

[xiaohui450004]

i am so proud as a leehom's fan.

[scrtwpnx]

this is hella funny, wang li hong doesn't seem like a gansta. the look doesn't really fit... still a good song though

[jonjee0203]

lee hom rox to the max

[rage1one]

he's the best taiwanese musician..no one can beat his skill for playing instrumental music, rap, and his songs..he's genius..

[Qi7hAng]

@MrNicholasseanr wow. your sis can do chinese rapping? that's impressive

[myacnt8999]

@lilxghettodragon

i'm talking that his music is the most versatile in terms of styles/genres, ranging from ballad, old school chinese pop, hip-hop, R&B, rap, rock, jazz, dance-pop, and even traditional chinese elements. he may not be the best singer-songwriter but he's definitely the most versatile.

you obviously hardly listen to leehom, that's why you can blindly conclude that chinese music is noob. it's either you are trolling or you are ignorant.

[Xalitz]

does he sing mandarin or canto

[lillawicca]

@Xalitz This is mandarin. But can speak cantonese.

[myacnt8999]

this song actually can sound very "chinese" and very "western" at the same time...LOL

[s33thr3w]

@riddles58 naw bbbbbbb that's me.

[garljr]

@s33thr3w oh really thats awesome

[rapeepuk]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WANG LE HOM

[MaLuEiD]

lol hardcore ninja rapping haha gud 1

[macaxrulz]

is this song about Japan?

[asuka33221109]

@macaxrulz definitely not. Chinese. Hence not Sakura blossom, it's plum blossoms. haha :)

[duanlang4ever]

@macaxrulz No, it's about a tradition Chinese play.

[justkidding223]

is this song based on butterfly lovers? im not sure..

[chinkgryffindor]

I love this song, no idea why i didn't find the mv before. I agree. WLH is an inspiration for all ABC kids. I was never interested in learning Chinese until I listened to his music! If he can do it so can we!!! ^^

[FlyingWolfWings]

@Ninaanii

Nah, ABC is ABC, Chinese is Chinese.

[nikititan]

OMG!! He's so cute!! Especially at the end!! ^__^

And this MV is freakin unique!!

[FlyingWolfWings]

He's an ABC, and he still trumps this kid that I know, pure Chinese, 100%, and STILL couldn't do this rap! This gives me a lot of hope for all the ABCs out there. HAPPY!~

[aznpridenmusic]

I def agree! I'm an ABC myself and I am fluent in Chinese (canto)

Now I believe anything with language is possible, even if ppl say u have to be yougn to learn a language

he only learned Chinese (mando) when he was 18

he is like a music genius :D

[Achu313]

YES! ABC's representttt. He's a total inspiration. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

[inoout]

what is ABC?

[FlyingWolfWings]

@inoout

American born Chinese

[inoout]

oh.... got ya :)

[moonlina]

the last part of the rap's soooo fast..... stunning!

[Aznbabyboi89]

I agree it hard to keep up with it.

[keijimashta]

In the beginning i was like meh, but from 0:30 beyond was great!! Besides this song i like pretty much all the music he makes. One of my favorite singers, he has a uniqueness to his music no other musicians have.

[boogigaga]

@keijimashta

Sorry to sound picky, but the word "unique" already means "having no other". Therefore, your last sentence is redundant!

[bizardp]

He is so amazing!

[amazonelf28]

*xbearcanrockx you are sooo right he is a cutie! but there are some more asian spunks out there - check out takeshi kaneshiro, Joo Jin Mo, and the american daniel henney who gives america a beautiful asian flavour lol!!!

[xbearcanrockx]

lol@ the hardcore ninja rapping at the end.

[KeziaCH]

dudeeeee. i was like O.O wtf was dat first time i heard that, majorrrr skillzzz.

[courteneyduh]

@xbearcanrockx i love his ninja hardcore rapping lmao

[xbearcanrockx]

i saw one of his cds in an asian store and thought he was one of the best looking asian guys ive seen in my life and im usually not attracted to other asians lol.

[KeziaCH]

lol, u gotta see some mre asains, he's hot granted but i've seen wayyy hotter. gotta show u some others ur eyes will be opened. lol

[bizardp]

OMG! He is so amazing!

[KawaiixSuppie]

the only rap that i don't mind...he's awesome!

[andrewdisplay]

i think one of the bboys in this mv is Hong10

[JuneLis]

i like how he has almost a different style for his music. truly amazing.

[myacnt8999]

he is the most versatile singer-songwriter in the world in terms of music styles/genres. no doubt.

[JuneLis]

Yup. :)

[beatus1990]

You're right! :)

[lilzcandy]

what world do you live in?

[Yamarukun]

I hate when lee hom is like this.. he's just not gangster its just a good .. peson.. with normal growing up its really stupid to see him this way I think he should stay as he is...

[RaymondMF]

lol dont hate just appreciate his singing

hes just trying to appeal to different people

just listen to his awesomeness

[avondale09]

What is the name of this song in Mandarin? Simplified or traditional, either way.

[theblecode]

In Mandarin it's called Zai Mei Bian lol The Chinese name is 在梅邊 (T) or 在梅边 (S)

[tian1527]

yeah! that's right!

[ratedyellow3]

yeah this song is fuckin gayin lee hom is fuckin gay i hate the way him sing

[lolNEED55]

ur just jealous that hes wayyyyyyyy better than you in every aspect

[karmenchiu]

youre gay you fool, stfu, hes much better than you. get your facts right before you chat next time

[MissChiChiWong]

I love wang lee hom verry much (L)

[BboyKouHao]

lee hom is freakin cool man xD look it even has bboys in the background, really good song x) especially when it does actually bring back some old chinese cultural music as well, Talented guyy bruhh x)

[nguyen2ois]

wow. this is the best singer ive seen in a while.

haha. before, i think chinese cannot sing. then i meet lee hom. he is awesome. WANG LEE HOM! WOOHOO!

[PhanWu]

come to think of it, u guys should appreciate a singer who can mix traditional music and modern music such as lee hom and jay chou.

If not because of them those chinese traditional music will be just gone..noone will remember it again. this is the only way the new generation can learn to appreciate traditional music.

u should be grateful that there are lee hom and jay chou who are so talented.

[heroandflor]

love love love lee hom!~~~

[flypine01]

lol not so horrible just yea sounds a bit weird :p

[RolandWN]

The last 20 Seconds are the best! :o)

[Mayz6617]

I like this song... especially the concert version..

[6Dahlia6]

if this song was without the weird background talking like at 0:32, this song would be awesome!

[theblecode]

LOL the opera voice at the back is what makes this song "chinked out". I mean, that's actually legit Chinese opera.

[theblecode]

I understand how people think it's weird, but come to think of it, out of all the songs that are in Leehom's album, this one is THE MOST chinked-out. The mixture of hip hop and kunqu in this song are evenly mixed, and well done.

And besides, this is probably one of the few rap songs out there right now that aren't in autone, lmfao. Impressive.

[S6dahlia]

srsly people, i was just giving my opinion.. ok i said it in a harsh way. sorry! but i have to say i like it now, i had no idea it was chinese opera. I think i just had to get used to it, since it was totally new for me ;)

[rachel14604]

when can jay's fans grow up mentally.....*sign*

doing this doesn't make your idol look any better.

[sushiimaker]

HAHAHAHA XD

[FlyingWolfWings]

Yo, WTF WAS THAT AT THE END! If you tried to do a backflip for every word he said at teh same speed, you'd break every single speed limit in the world. I just tried to type to his speed and I messed up so bad! He's awesome! Dude, you rock!

[bearrystar]

reli love u~~~

keep up d good job Music Man~~

Nobody can ever replace u~~

Gambadeh~~

[KeziaCH]

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ENDING WAS LIKE O.O i can't even speak that fast saying my ABC's O.o

[covekitten]

High metabolic rate! AWESOME!! Tell me what else have you not impressed us, Lee Hom??

[carolton83]

the ending is impressive he speaks so fast

[tang213]

thats what i call chink out :)

[qq910323021]

SUPER FUCKING GOOD THO

[MNProductionx]

he's the best ABC ever!!

[l0vablelinda]

ABC's are all awesome :D

[qq910323021]

are they?LOL

[l0vablelinda]

yes, we are :P

[bluetulip18]

Leehom's music is the best east-west fusion I've ever seen. Whodathunk Chinese opera could be so funky? I'm so glad I'm finally getting to know his music!

[Kaname812]

The MV is high spirited and adorable. Lol.

[jichenl]

[papuchii]

[myacnt8999]

wang lee hom wants to promote and improve chinese music to the world...hey world, this is chinese hip-hop, yeah..!!

[crystal4000t8]

i don't think this can be translated in english i have tried . it is chinese opera

though.

[RyuLily27]

Can someone translate this in to English? I really love this song and Wang Lee Hom.

[nirvanacin]

weee oh

[myacnt8999]

leehom is an awesome rapper!!

but he doesn't have to rap too much, because he can sing very very well!! in his versatile music, obviously..

LEEHOM ROCKS..!!!!

[dorje2069]

can you send me this song,please?

[katphat]

wtf is up with that guy- the geisha dude?

And what is he saying?! Seriously...

-3-

[Hannahbananabread]

It's Chinese Opera.

[katphat]

No I know, but I thought that guys that played chicks was an English thing, back with Shakespear. I didnt mean to be offensive D':

...Although I still would like to know what hes saying... :3

[tokiobunny321]

he is so sweet and he has a nice voice

[L23Kaiichi]

lee hom hot... blek... hummmmmmmm ........this song isnt that bad if u listen it to a couple times

[chenwencien]

Lee hom is the best for ever

this songs is awesome

when i rap like that, actually my sound like the broken radio sound

[princess4233]

i tried to say the rap and failed epicly

[ykcowrebbaj2006]

LOL mee tooo xD .........so sad

[ShikaShikamaruGirl]

Leehom's so talented what can't he do he plays like every instrument known to man, sings, raps, and he's so FREAKIN HOT!!! Homboy has it going on!!! LOL real music!!!

[LilAznMui]

in that rapping sequence for 50 seconds it was rumored that he rapped over 250 words. to be honest, you can't hear a single fucking word jay chou raps about. He has a better image as rapping than Leehom but at least you can hear the lyrics in Leehoms rapping. Jay Chou is still a really good singer.

[LilAznMui]

can you actually understand what jay's rapping about? i just hear mumbles and jumbles when he raps. i like them both and jay's "rap" songs and i think jay has a better image as a rapper but Lee Homs rapping is more clearer.

[ann2oo8]

love the video! what is the song about???

[honkie93]

wow how fast can he sing :!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xAnGiieex33]

I don't know what he's saying but the last part is funny...seems like he rapped really well. xD

[CoolKam93]

wei哦....我like這個song

[jasonc952000]

Hey Can u Tell me where u got this video

:D

[luster6]

this video made me get into breakdance lol

[sparkeeonthemic]

leehom is one of a kind coz he's versatile..he's a band in 1 package!.i'm a singer-songwriter myself and i do arrange my own songs...u can check my vid here in utube..but i do cover versions at the moment but i'll be uploading videos of my own written songs in the near future!

[honkie93]

lee hom is so fine i love him so much :)

[Exodus00603]

haha silly vi i love Wang Lee hom ^^

[Marijalondon]

Wow! I'm russian, living in London, have just discovered this gem Leehom, pure talent and handsome too! :-))

Don't understand a word in Chinese, but love his work, his style, people like him make me very curious and respectful of Chinese culture.

Thanks for that gift for the world. :-))

[DejandVandar]

I don't know about the rest of you but that music video was pretty damn creative.

[tokyodriftguy256]

love the ending!

[QueenOfMonkey]

i agree with you.....being called a chink is really offensive ..

[whitebunnycandy]

lol. this video is so odd. chinese opera guy and Wang Leehom rapping. hmm. gosh i don't know what to think of this vid. however in response to some of the comments before i don't think ppl should use degrading words. even tho it's not meant to be degrading i think it's still offensive even if you yourself are part of that culture it doesn't necessarily give you to use it more freely than anyone else.

[dungnoiyeuem]

he is so cute...and his musics are great

[ZomgL33tZors]

If any of you folks here read Shakespeare then you would know that Chink wasn't a word that was meant for chinese people.

Anyone who thinks it is, is just some red neck trailer trash

[morningtidedream]

I really can't get over HOW COOL HIS MUSIC IS.

[stevenpnguyen]

he is the best singer i ever heard before. really amazing singer

[LilAznMui]

because of him, i started paying attention to my culture and being proud of being a chink.

i can't believe how incredibly lucky i am to be chinese.

[andagii]

why the fuck would you use an ethnic slur towards your own self?

[LilAznMui]

why would black people call themselves the N word?

[andagii]

How should I know?

And usually those aren't the so... 'smart' one's. Or the one's portrayed by Media.

[bloodrednailpolish89]

i have no idea. I'm black and i hate it when people do that. It's like degrading yourself

[Shabei09]

Just so you know, Leehom is coined the phrase "chinked-out" to describe his music, a combination of Eastern and Western styles. He said in an interview (I believe on CNN) that he wants to change a word that is currently considered degrading and represent it in a new light, one which instead reflects the awesomeness (for lack of a better word) of the Chinese culture. So. "Chink" is not meant as an insult in this context.

I hope I've answered your question. :)

[caseysiethy]

of course you should be proud of being a chinese.our culture rocks.

[Cupcake4me]

Damn right it rocks !!! :)

[YuusuukeUrameshi]

His voice is like..Magic! This guys beats all! Well..almost! haha.

[PuffyIchigo]

just you lol

[litoXvannie]

[tubenole]

[alicestarz8x2x1]

i love leehom. but its disappointing to know tht he used to smoke a bit. he rarely smokes but still...i heard he stopped in like 2000 cuz he realized health was important. =]

[Ginne86]

what he used to smoke??!!!!

well at least he quit.

[msleehom]

wow...

kind of cool.

[cccompton]

I love this song. Even when I think I hate something new he does, I always grow to love it.

[beatricexu2008]

yeah i agreed

[lostOTL]

are all his songs raping

[ivanna611]

no.. not all of them. Some of them are soft and pretty like "hua tian cuo" which is my favorite song of his. :)

[gotentk4]

yeah and i like big city small love

[waitformore]

[inoout]
