Leehom on CNN part3

[PiEcEProductions]

Gary Chao from Malaysia! Proud to be Malaysian!

[look59ful]

not matter someone called him Taiwanese or ABC，he is transmitting kinda of Chinese culture, to the world, and he is the person that fansicnate me

[chocoangel911]

born in america......i love taiwan....i love lee hom....hes my idolll.....

[dnxmy]

somoen please tell me the name of the song taht starts at 3:33

[lavendergirl888]

He is Taiwanese and ABC. His parents are from Taiwan. That is why people call me Taiwanese. He still have some family who still lives in Taiwan. Get it got it good!!! I love Wang Leehom. He is so cute & handsome! I love his songs! :)

[ILOVE4113]

I, as a chinese born and raised in china, will say that his success has a lot to do with his talent and hardworking, america's education and environment.i dont know why so many ppl from taiwan are saying he is taiwanese. even his musical inspiration are derived from chinese mainland culture such as peking and kun opera.

[pondmud]

DaGoook - agreed 100% WTF. I wouldn't be surprised if it was this attitude that forced him to go to Taiwan for serious consideration as a musician - can we not believe that an Asian-American can speak English, let alone sing like that? Gaargh.

That said - his Mandarin is way better than mine, but I can tell he's got a little American accent :D

[Phalicity]

his english is perfect bc he got a perfect SAT score and he was accepted to yale and princeton!

[rininco]

his eyes,

<<3 are beautiful <<3

[weixiaotiffy]

i know hes from america but im still amazed on his fluency in both languages

[DaGoook]

Jesus why is everyone so amazed at his English, for the last time HE'S AMERICAN!

If anything people should be impressed by his fluency with Mandarin.

[nobutada1222]

i never expected his english level to be so high... wow.

[carybeee]

@nobutada1222

=.= he is a gd abc. well i like him a lot

[Onlymaybe7]

OMG he have perfect English. Cutie*****>_<

[MrRossbu]

Leehom prefer to be a Chinese singer from Taiwan who sings Chinese songs, He is not a taiwanese, and was actually born in U.S.A. having nothing to do with Taiwan, or Mainland. Don't leave any of shitty religious remarks here, you those taiwan sucker.

[Avrelsg]

e interviewer is great! omg lee hom!! :DD i've not really liked an singing artiste before. this interview is e real deal - not like those artiste that looks good on paper but when u interview them, they are just how do i put it, not up to standard, like they are either too much PC, trying to sound sincere but not really succeeding. with lee hom & u can really feel his passion for music and sincerity which almost feels like u already know him. u rock lee hom!

[tn00777479]

LOVE Taiwanese singer!!

[siozui]

Leehom is SO eloquent, sincere & cool. I love that he express his intention to "claim back" the phrase "chinked out" to remove the derogatory connotations & to add positivity & identity to it. Adding sounds, instruments, music & performing arts from Chinese tranditional / minority groups is a fantastic & great ambition. Kudos to you Leehom!

[onleemeeh]

OMY he is sooo gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!

[justakis]

qq910323021 is a China lover facking commie... You dont even know the history behind it, you stupid fob Fuk

[qq910323021]

son of a bitch,there is no taiwanness out there

only one china,and taiwan is a part of china . FAWK CNN

u can ask LEEHOM he will tell u ,i am chinese plz check his song

[RandomlyMe66]

im so happy that i watched this!

it made me proud of english speaking taiwanese stars! <3

JIA YOU!

[kukumalutaktaumalu]

he is so hot...

[butterflyrose37]

A man's character is reveal by the way he treat others. Thanks to Kenny G (Sorry seem to be the hardest word) for such a wonderful surprise on this bless Sunday morning.

[LoveMusicManLeeHom]

he was so prefect...i saw JAY CHOU interview on talkasia..he is using chinese to answer..but leehom not!!! AWESOME ENGLISH!

[bulik12]

cause leehom was born is usa and jay chou...not......so...

[azncutez]

Leehom mentions that he's working on an original Chinese musical. Does anyone know if he actually finished it? If so, does anyone know the title?

[harryXoXmeXoXpotter]

i think it's "the bite that burns"... i just read it somewhere so i'm not sure ._.

[ltn24]

GOD! I love him so muuchh!! He never ceases to amaze me. He's just so talented and gifted.

And such an intelligent smart person. Never seen an interview as interesting and intelliegent as this one. Go Lee Hom.

[msblia]

wow, so talented! love him!

he's a leftie! i never knew that, im a leftie too! yay, go lefties! lols. =]

[thegreat1989]

at least he actually knows wad hes talkin about..unlike all the new crap singers on radio now

[shou1107]

hes a great artist .

love his music and he's so charming

[BBPizzSAS]

cool! He says the only thing he can't get away with is his "laptop"!

And he says that the paparazzi is annoying! Of course!

We all love him!

[BBPizzSAS]

omg he's so cute and talented.

[BBPizzSAS]

nice

[lolo0518gurl]

Lee Hom is just full of talents!

[loveumei]

lee hom is the best

[kyleen94]

what's the name of the song that starts playing at 3.33?

[hilsnchad]

Wu chun is a completely different league. You can't compare him to Leehom, he's just a teen boy in a teen band. Leehom is way higher than him. I agree that Gary is underrated, he's a great musician and when it comes to singing, you can't go past Aska yang.

[myacnt8999]

yeah. but you can't say leehom can't past aska yang in singing. they are both perfect and different styles of singing. if wuchun, yeah, definitely not in leehom's or aska's league. he can't sing well. he is more to acting and recognized as an idol artist. gary,leehom, n aska are skilled artists.

[hilsnchad]

I never said that. Leehom and Aska are very different. I love them both. :D

[datwunkkboi]

He's the most impressive Asian artist i've ever heard of. I think i just found my idol. A musician, a multi-linguist, and great person, we have SO much in common.

[myacnt8999]

actually gary and jj are very great vocalists. they are just underrated. somebody overrated is like jay chou.

[RedLightBlackOut]

Agree with everything but the Jay comment. Gary Chaw and JJ rock, seriously.

[myacnt8999]

yeah. gary n JJ rock like hell!! i think maybe they're not from taiwan, so they're underrated. gary n JJ are all about quality. singing is superb. song-writing and composing skill is superb. gary, JJ, n leehom are my top chinese artists for me.

[RedLightBlackOut]

Gary is my very favourite Chinese artists... Really the only problem I have with Jay Chou is his 'mumbling' or the lack of enunciation. And since my Chinese isn't perfect I already have a hard time understanding. Although his Hokkien songs are much clearer, but then I can't understand them at all, now can I?

Just felt like a short rant on Jay. I fail at staying on topic...

[myacnt8999]

jay has hokkien songs? i'm not too sure about that. but mumbling is not only a problem of jay chou. the power and control of his vocal is very weak. i would say jay chou sucks as a vocalist. that's why jay is overrated nowadays, because he can't sing properly and his acting sucks too. i don't understand why so many blind people like him.

gary cao deserves more fans than jay chou.

[RedLightBlackOut]

Yep. Jay has Hokkien songs. I'm not his biggest fan or anything but there are some of his songs that are good no matter what. Example: "Where is the train headed?" A Hokkien song. I do agree that some of his songs lack power or feeling but he does have some really good ones. About his acting... I've only seen Secret and didn't even get to watch the whole thing, so I can't comment on his acting skills. But, I agree that Gary deserves more fans. People barely know about him.

[myacnt8999]

yeah. jay is good. but gary is better. gary deserves more fans. honestly, many people idolise jay because he acts cool all the time, therefore, a lot of girls fascinated by it.

[RedLightBlackOut]

You know, we could debate about this forever.

I will agree, however, that Gary is better. I can get into his songs more-so than Jay's. Gary puts feeling behind his songs. He also has this really great voice that makes you want to listen to his songs. I don't really get to know many artists that well so I don't know how Jay acts. I do, however, like Gary's additude. Gary is definately my favourite Chinese(He's Malaysian but whatever)artists all because of his song "Bei Pan". It's my fav song. :)

[dabosical]

Everyone has their own opinion and i dont think its a great idea discussing jay chou on leehom's video

[wtllien]

Love him. Leehom's music is beautiful and creative =D

[ModelsRDream]

she's so annoying n extremely rude.

[rainbowbabe]

where's the musical? it's not coming out has been 2 years already.. he's so busy, even his album is delayed again.. not to mention the musical :( and the perfectionist attitude must be delaying as well :D

[mrbobbywong]

the interview is so ... empty. all she does is say stupid things and doesnt even give a response like she listened to leehom. "oh really? amazing!" etc. talks like a white person.

[chezz1a]

so cute...and smart.

[someoneisajerk]

Love him, love him. Too bad he's old enough to be my dad.

[stinky259]

he's only 30

so either you're really young, or he hypothetically had you very early in his life :P

[someoneisajerk]

He's 32. And yes, i am awfully young. But that doesn't mean i can't appreciate the sight of him right? lol

[stinky259]

xD i know how you feel... i feel the exact same about jimmy lin & sometimes wu chun

[ZiRkAd]

*dies* haaaaaa...he's so handsome!

[adysons]

leehom!! i really like him!! i look forward to his musical.. but its been two years ever since this interview.. :(

[hitaHOMrun]

very humbling

[KyoruMizuruki]

Lol he did n.nV sign. Probably the first on CNN xD

[Edarthas]

实至名归

[cpcp9]

no no she's not acting rude.. she's just very experienced so she's just really businesslike

[grynfindore]

i didnt know he's left-handed. so cooll....

[bakasushi19]

Are ppl angry at the "veteran" part? If so, I didn't think she was rude...he's a young guy and she didn't want to make him sound old, because in the Asian (especially HK) entertainment industry. Veterans are ready for the boot

[UpaUrs]

umm did he say JJ LIM? its JJ Lin. and Cao Ge? overrated. I like how he smirked when he mentioned Gary.

[Ginne86]

I dont think Cao Ge is that great of a singer but hes a pretty decent song writer, and same is true with JJ Lin.

[UpaUrs]

you're really an impressive judge of vocal talent. JJ Lin is the best vocalist.

i agree w/ your opinion on gary, but not for JJ.

[aznbryanc]

cao ge has an amazing range, from what i've heard!

[adysons]

i think those gary and jj has it all to be mentioned by leehom.. and gary.. he's more versatile than you think..

[clueless86]

wang lee hom is awesome

all the best to him

[cassie3178]

Leehom is so hot!

What's a marvellous guy

love him so much

[babiappl333]

omg, she's so rude to him. i swear she thinks she's so hot or something. He's so adorable and sweet in this interview!

[mannnda614]

I absolutely think the same as you. What an ass she is. Its good he's still being polite to her even though she doesnt seem that friendly

[wahpiangeh1]

yeah he's hot. i dun think the lady is rude; i just think she's lousy as an interviewer. she keeps looking at her notes. maybe she's nervous or she doesn't know her lines.

[vortexromX]

很喜欢王力宏！！

[blablayou]

he likes JJ! cool!

i agree too!! Gary and JJ are good ones hehe

[UpaUrs]

fuck i want to punch her in the face.

[crazydancingpoet]

her accent annoys the shit out of me... wang lee hom's cool though.

[hellojellooo]

huh?? what accent

[sr4141]

he's cute...he can make great music...lots of creativity...but i dont like his singing voice and he's a horrible actor

[thyiulam]

do you guys notice how hot and young looking Lee Hom is.. even tho his in his 30s... other hollywood stars would be turning to botox and surgergy by Lee Hom's age...

[YuriD2010]

That's because he is Asian...they've got the SECRET man! lol

[cgtocean]

I love the victory sign he gave at the start! SO adorable ^^

[dxc91]

what's the song that starts playing at 3:33 that he's singing?

[acmilansoccer999]

i luv leehom's voice it's so soothing <3

he's so hot and talented!

[oleanderx]

He's so humble.

I love how he's so encouraging to new artists.

[McJoxX]

whats the song at the end?

[oleanderx]

Gai Shi Ying Xiong Ft. Jin

[McJoxX]

Thank YOU :)

[McJoxX]

he's so sexy when he speaks english. i think he deserves every bit of what he has right now and more . he works so hard lol its amazing. ive got a full load of respect for him he's pretty coool :)

[lamchops9]

[chocolategal]

he's left handed...many left handed are gift ^^

[eirelav215]

he is such one of a kind guy. awesome, very humble..

[pureintuiti0n]

jj lin isnt a new artist

[klaaon]

Does anyone know when this interview was conducted? I wanna know when this Chinese musical he is writing will be released. If he performs in it too then its gonna rock!

Wang Lee Hom is pure talent!

[MileysUpdater]

[xxxxmaneaterxxxxx]

It doesn't but at the end you see him signing the big poster and doing autographs you see him using his left hand =]

x x x

LEE HOM <3

[MileysUpdater]

[MujakiKid]

and wow...i never wouldve known he was such a talented & nice guy if i didnt see this, awesome! <3

[alexMhuong]

[asianoutcast87]

i never knew that lee hom still lives in rochester, newyork. wow, im goin to move there now! im not that far!

[sanji4ever]

some of his family members are in san francisco! xD

he's having a concert there on christmas!!!

[asianoutcast87]

o_O really thats cool

[MileysUpdater]

i went to his concert in san fran!! It was on Dec. 23!!! I dont think his family memebers are in san fran...

[sanji4ever]

yes they were.. my friend went to that same concert and saw his family memberss... xD

[MileysUpdater]

o...yeaah...he said that his mom and dad were there and aunt and uncle and stuff liike that...i thought u ment that his family memebers lived there...

[sanji4ever]

oh no.. just relatives~ xD

[MileysUpdater]

lucky!

[jo716]

wow, i never knew he was so driven and so Very ambitious! And quite well spoken! I like him!

[chanlily888]

The more you find out about him, the more you will like him.

[jo716]

so i went to his concert recently and can't agree with you more, he's adorable too with the way he acts

[bebecam215]

"Paparazzi.." wahhh cute!!! ^^;

[StarrLuve]

Lee Hom is awesome! He was so intelligent in his answers and obviously, he is where he is today not only because of his musical talents but also his smartness!

[chanlily888]

Totally agree. Pretty faces like f4 doesn't catch my attention. In fact, I didn't know much about him or his music until I went to his concert in SF last week. I spent everyday finding out more and more about him. Everything about him makes one love him more because he is soooooo cute and smart and talented and humble, hard working and sincere. He so deserve all the success that he has achieved.

[lemongrass11]

agree

at first like in 1999 i didn't pay much attention to leehom for i thought, like you said he was just a "pretty face" THEN coincidentally i found out that he was he senior from SHS so i was like "golly! must check this person out!" so i did! and wow! what an amazing musician! the more i listen to his voice and his songs, the more i like him! and i think he's one of the only few whose music isn't "economically/industrially polluted" if you know what i mean

[anna333]

what s the song in the end ???

[bebecam215]

Gai Shi Ying Xiong.. "Heroes of the Earth"

[khmerdu87]

thanks for sharing this video

[khmerdu87]

he is so cute, i wanna see him but i think it's just a dream that can not realize

[chanlily888]

Where are you from? I'm sure he will eventually have a concert near where you live. I just saw him is SF concert. Save your money for the day. It's so worth it.

[liltwinsfan]

[rainiemike]

[sOoosKyNe]

[crystaldiamondz]

LOL, Leehom dies in all of his movies. He's going to die in "Lust, Caution" too. <_< I think the only movie where he didn't die was in "The Avenging Fist".
