omg! you are so multi-talented!!! you're so lucky to be able to sing and speak 3+ languages... AND sing in those languages!!! wowowowow!!!!! keep up the good work!!! if only i was as interested in the chinese culture as you are!!!
you sound like you speak the language often. cos you sing like a chinese- non of the western r&b. do you live in chinese community? anyway great job, and you're so gorgeous too!!
The pronunciations were like 99% nailed. There're still something you can work on though. I don't know if u learn the pronunciation from a friend, by ear, or "PINYIN". If it's PINYIN, you need to distinguish the "X" sound and the "SH" sound. I don't blame anybody prouncing it incorrectly, it's hard for English speakers because there is no "X" sound in English language. (again, PINYIN X, not english alphabet X)
Wow, you're actually really great at the pronunciation for a foreigner who can't even speak Mandarin. Your accent kind of sounds like a Cantonese person who is speaking Mandarin.
Wanna teach me French and I'll teach you Mandarin? haha!
Cont'd : I always believe that the greatest voice goes to those of African descent, and your rendition would certainly bring something new and nice to the predominantly Chinese-sung Mandarin songs.
This is just awesome! I ain't a native Mandarin speaker (am Cantonese) but can offer a quick piece of advice on the pronunciation of "r" in Chinese pinyin. You don't wanna do it the way you do the English "r". The Chinese one is more subtle, you still row your tongue except your tongue would be positioned further back in the cavity. And you wanna tune down the involvement of the lip too.
You're already impressive though! and I hope to hear you sing more Mandarin songs.
I used to think that I was the only Black girl that liked Canto-pop & Mando-pop music. As a kid, I even got teased because of it. After hearing your voice, I know that I am in great company with other Black Chinese music fans. Now, if only I could sing like you.
Thats what I love about YouTube, you can find a Gem in the sand or a needle in a hay stack. Leyla you are all that and then some. I am very proud of you and I would love to send you a gift. You have a very rare talent that deserves preserving with the best production equipment. Imagine the millions of babies out there waiting to hear your voice to put them at ease and into lalla land. You are a true blessing to all that hear and view you no matter what race. I bet you blow peoples minds it. Chow
I checked out the song. It's cool! and I like Angela Zhang! I think I can make a cover! just give me some time to learn it and actually make the vid... Qué tal con las letras de Li Hong?
Wow!! tu eres Lsecret!! no sabia que eras tu!! muchisimas gracias por las liricas en pinyin!! ya tengo el album de Wang Lee-hom y la verdad que me ayudaron muchoooo sus letras thanks again!! and thanks in advanced for learning ru guo de shi!
J'ai maté toutes tes videos (enfin presque hein !), t'es très communicative et on sent que tu aimes les langues vivantes (ce qualificatif te va très bien ;) ). En passant ta prononciation du l"un"di est particulière, c'est pas complètement ouvert et se rapproche donc du "en" ou du "on"... je chipote, mais c'est paske j'ai vraiment aimé ce que j'ai vu. Tu dis ne pas aller à l'école, en gros t'es autodidacte du jap' et du chinois... épaté je suis ! ;)
aww, you're so sweet. How did you learn to speak all of these languages? I'm attempting to learn french now. I studied spanish in high school, so it isn't terribly difficult for me to pick up other romance languages. Japanese and chinese has been difficult for me though, I find myself just memorizing sentences. I suppose though, as an american or a native english speaker, it is easy to become too comfortable in knowing just how to speak english. Do you live in France? do you go to Uni there?
I don't learn anything (except japanese) I just take whatever comes my way. I pick up things here and there, and I remember because I love it. I live in France but I don't go to school!
Despite being "a cappella", your sense of rythm is very, very strong; the tuning is perfect... and, even if the song is in a foreign language (and not the simplest one, I suppose), you're able to graceously and expressively sing it!
work on the (pingyin) and keep up the good work
