Wang Lee Hom plays the Violin with pianist LangLang

[xkawaiiloverrx3]

what song are they playing?

[JohnZ622]

Good playing. SOund is out of sync

[98Degrees4You]

wang lee hom plays 10+ instruments, all of em very good, sings amazing, writes beautiful songs and composes them himself. This man has got mad skills. Personally I don't care for his looks, more for his music. I believe he inspires many. I don't like him cuz he got way too much talent, Im jealous, but he inspires me to learn more languages and learn instruments.

Going go learn Madarin as well. So xie xie Mr. Wang for doing exactly what you do, that's all that I can say.

[jcww90]

leehom is better at singing..jaychou is better at composing...both are more talented in different side of the musical field..but when comes to best chinese pop star..just look at the awards they have won..jay chou has a clear win on this..and i believe leehom got fans mostly because of his looks..he's a better actor than jaychou though..

[GOBbluthagain]

Love both these guys, but lee hom is so stiff and robotic, it looks awkard.

PS. Cant wait to see leehoms new MV w/ wongfu productions

[Pho6]

lang lang must be so bored. this piece is so boring for piano part LOL

[micheniche]

it's technically good but it lacks emotion.

[rage1one]

STOP COMPARING LEE HOM WITH OTHER ARTISTS ASSHOLE! IF U HATE LEE HOM THEN DON'T WATCH THIS! STOP COMPLAINING!

[nikalyy]

i <3 you forever, my awesome LEEHOM!!!! muahhhh

[jadeangel2757]

let me put this into simple terms: it isn't that he sucks (he doesn't). but if he did not look the way he did, or have the reputation as a pop star, and he played this piece (which is a piece that 8th graders play, btw), i guarantee that the ONLY people who would be raving about how talented he is would be his mom.

[jadeangel2757]

(talented in terms of the violin)

[xiolinorchdork]

the audio doesn't match...?

leehom's pretty good though. not anything close to itzhak perlman good, but i bet itzhak perlman can't sing nearly as well as leehom can.

and please stop comparing leehom with jay. they both have their unique talents...

[michael988]

wow.wtf.its unbelievable that some even say lee hom is a better star then lang lang?omg.facepalm.

[michael988]

@michael988 dude,show luo probably surpassed him only in taiwan.do u know how much concert jay chou held in other countries?especially china?show luo is nothing compared against to jay chou.

and btw,if lee hom was more talented then jay chou,he could have directed his own movie before jay chou did,and stop copying what jay chou did like direct all his own mv,make his own movie and create all his songs by himself.

enough said,jay chou is more talented.

[jessicatiopan]

he is a really multi talented person...

[CosimoStory]

haha Wang Leehom proud that atleast you still keep your violin playing to some degree, when your already super busy with your singing career, as a violinist myself, I'd wish I could sing like you hahaha. Lang Langs expression was hiliarious.

[jenrissa]

I think technically he is good at the violin....it is just that he seems to hesitate to play each note , we lack a certain " feeling from his playing" a bit robotic in the beginning....

either way very talented singer / musician / pop star and cute too !

[ABC4375]

i 'd love it!!!yes~~~~always supoort you lee hom,and i also like listening classical music,i play er-hu,the chinese traditional instrument,and when i was 7 i started listening western classical music,and my favorite composor is Tchaikovsky~~~~as love as lee hom~~~leehom， you are the best~~~

[liiteratii]

i'm not too informed on violin playing, but from what i can hear, lee hom is a very skilled player ... to those the know violin very well, what is he lacking or doing wrong, exactly? (i'm honestly curious!)

[overabi]

i really like him... start from last 10 years until now... Lee HOm.. I LOve u....

[sundaii93]

CHINESE POWAAAA! >< jkjk hahah

LeeHom <3

[min1004esther]

OMG...........................­...awesome!!

[violinmusicfan]

Hes quite good at the violin

[Homeboy688]

Quite is an understatement =D

[myacnt8999]

for somebody who is not professional violinist, his playing is actually quite good. but the most important thing is that he is a singer, and his singing skill rocks!!

[violinmusicfan]

agreed :)

[redvenizkx]

@myacnt8999 he majored in violin and if im not mistaken he went on a violin scholarship

[Donnajulia]

the first part is so touching.. I still have tears in my eyes :(

[2013redsox]

OMG LANG LANG UR AWESOME

[leejin0527rean]

他倆證明了華人也可以把西方樂器奏得好有水準....讚!

[LamaLamaRedPajama]

Lang Lang is great :)

[JJJJJJJJ6666]

WANG LEEHOM IS GREATER!!!

[LamaLamaRedPajama]

Hell no :) But he's great too.

[JJJJJJJJ6666]

LEEHOM may not be able to match lang lang in the piano but in terms of music composition, looks, acting and vocals...so on LEEHOM wins! So i should think leehom is greater OVERALL !

[myacnt8999]

uhh..no comparison please. i'm a big fan of leehom too, but it is really useless to compare leehom and lang lang and say which is greater. how do you compare a pop star with a renowned pianist. unless you compare leehom with jj lin or jay chou, then it is more logical.

[JUUUUU321]

All right i am sorry but there some previous comments made about leehom and lang lang so i just merely expressed my opinions...like leehom is a star as well just like lang lang

[algrina04]

MY GOD !!!

he's chinese, and he speaks soo many languages, !!

he's a singer, his voice is so awesome !!

he's a player, he playssss VERY WELL (maybe not perfectly, but hey, nobody's perfect; right !) and so many instruments

in my country we say, machAllah (God blessed him)

and that's what i call A COMPLETE ARTIST !!!!!!!

[JJJJJJJJ6666]

I hope you are referring to leehom hes excellent for sure. 5 stars and thumbs up for him pls!!

[algrina04]

My sister plays violin and she played it for an exam... i LOVE this piece !! so amazingly played here !!!!!

[blu3piAno]

thr are thousand n million of music instituition..

we cant predict which is the best

or which school produce the best players..

it depends on individual..

[dubsucks]

WHOA!!!

[etjr]

Duh what are you guys talking about? Lang Lang IS the professional here!

[etjr]

I mean, Lang Lang is the star but nobody's talking about him?!?!

[hobielover]

They're both professional musicians, both stars, so what's your problem? There are comments on both anyways, and many of the LeeHom comments are just for flaming his fans. Do you really want Lang Lang comments going along with those? They're both good musicians, IMO.

[myacnt8999]

well, some people praised Lang Lang in the beginning comments..no doubt Lang Lang can play piano better than Leehom plays violin, but Leehom can play 14 instruments and he is professional singer, songwriter, and producer, with millions of fans in the world, mostly in Asia.

[JUUUUU321]

Because he isnt the only star. LEEHOM rocks and owns...

[LamaLamaRedPajama]

Well, that's your opinion :3

[JUUUUU321]

Isnt it true..maybe i exaggerated...but i meant lang lang isnt the only star there..leehom is a very famous chinese pop star ...

[JUUUUU321]

-.- both leehom and jay chou have their own talents...don be brainwashed and Jay chou does not have the best vocals and looks..

[blu3piAno]

he's a professional violinist..

he graduated from Williams College

majoring in MUSIC..'

so he's sure a pro one..

ad yet he focus so manythgs

he's awesome

[issavestheworld]

I think only the people who graduate from Curtis or Juilliard should be considered a professional. He's playing is poor.

[shanghaigirl8]

Regardless whether his performance is perfect or not, you shouldn't insult him or write totally redundant comments about how he's playing. Giving your opinion is fine but keep it polite! If you don't like what you hear, honestly, no one forces you to listen to this video!

[wendy3212]

he sucks. my friend (he's in grade 8) can play this song better.

[achum168]

oh this piece lol

the sound and actions don't really match... ;_;

but not bad :D

[yehudimilstein]

Show,musical hypocrite..and most importantly 'Jack".

[likefoshox3]

LEEHOM IS SO HOT =D

[arwen122091]

uh...as to wang li hong, not a heifetz, but its fine i guess...

lang lang is just like..."lol im so cool" xD

[x0DAisY0x]

all i say is>>cool. better than me lol

[casablancaaccent]

you guys might be classical experts, but leehom is hot. Therefore, no one gives a shit whether hes playing staccato properly or legato or fuckatto.

[kokatoo]

OMG...I can't stand reading all these classical "experts" comments...You guys are so cocky and dumb at the same time! Please comment based on the context...this is not an offical performance in a fucking concert hall or something...and yea you might think he shld at least practice b4 he performs...but this is what I can't stand these classical dumbass...Spending so much time perfecting their few pieces and think they are so smart or something...I bet these ppl don't really "know" music..

[wl5201]

to be fair, I really didn't like how this piece's variation was done by him. He has played better pieces. Maybe he was slightly off that day.

but, considering the fact that he is a Berklee College of Music alumni, and got his Masters from there.. I don't think he is as bad as people say he is.

"It is important for my fans to know that who I am, and what I stand for, is still intact, along with my pride, integrity and dreams."

-Lee-Hom, 2001.

[myacnt8999]

lee hom is the best musician in this world i've ever known. he can play 10 instruments and got a master degree in music. he is not a professional violinist, so don't expect him to play like vanessa mae.he is a professional singer, songwriter, and record producer.

[labubula]

messy. but to be fair, you cant compare him with other full time violinists. He's more of a singer than a violinist. But how many violinist can sing as good as he can? not even a handful perhaps.

[shaman0897]

it doesn't sound that good...but it doesn't matter coz he's still cute...^_^

[jaylo2222]

He's a singer.

How many instruments can you guys play/ sing? Pretends to be talented? Have you heard his music? Do you compose music? Ah yes.. you must. Yes.. this performance wasn't so great. I'll be honest, the intonation was kind of well...irritating me, but he's not a professional violinist who practices for hours a day. It's just for some publicity concert crap. It's fine to have an opinion, but to be committed to "spreading the truth" about leehom is kind of lame. Get a life.

[gowiemeister]

Look guys no fkn shit this performance was pretty messy. You know it. I know it. Lang Lang knows it. Any decent musician knows it. But this is just a mini-show for fun, not a professional concert. So let's just be grateful, as musicians, for having a greater ability to understand and appreciate quality music, instead of dissing this. If it were at a professional concert hall, then he shudn't be performing. But this is just a lil show for fun so it's not supposed to be high standard anyway.

[haleluya1986]

leehom ure so talented! i salute!! when r u comin to ICOM malaysia to give a speech ? haha

[rebeccalo1016]

i think this is amazing because i believe he is def. really busy and does not have lots of time to practice violin.

guys, dont compare him with the juilliard musicians. First of all, hes way better looking for sure. 2nd, he def. makes more money than the real musicians.

[woolychi]

what truth? leehom played violine since he was 6, like many violinists. but he is not a professional, it´s only his hobby. he performed for fun for his fans. you act like a high-professional violinist but giving only lousy unprofessional and offensive comments on somebody you dont know. if people have to be like mozart to be allowed to perform, then those hobby musicians dont even have to start playing and learning instruments

[tmtstudio1983]

I agree with you woolychi.

[Anamixandre]

Even imperfect, it's better than pop culture

[xfantasy4ev3rx]

though it may not be perfect, can an impostor really play like that? no. and man, who are you to say he is an insult to Kreisler? i don't hear him coming out of his grave and complaining to leehom

[josephile]

It is not "may not", he really sucks at this one. He IS an imposter and that's why he sucks. Don't even start with Kreisler, and you are talking your shit way out of line.

[xfantasy4ev3rx]

way out of line? that's bullshit. i'm a violin player too, and i've played many of Kreisler's pieces. Yes, i know it's not as "professional"-sounding at it should, but fuck, why don't you get in front of thousands of people and play something. and if this is an "insult" to you, then don't listen to it.

[wonnage]

eat a dick fuckin mexican

[myacnt8999]

he is famous because he is a singer-songwriter, not a violinist, you stupid jealous moron!!

[myacnt8999]

he is popular as a singer-songwriter, you dumbass.one of the best singer-songwriter in asia. not as an instrument player. what the fuck 'jack' you're talking about.nobody understands you.i feel sorry for you.

[JJJJJJJJ6666]

Why do you think lang lang can play the piano better than leehom at the violin? LEEHOM learnt the violin at the age of 6 mind you! And he can compose many songs with the violin.

[myacnt8999]

nah, lang lang learnt piano when he was 3 and he has concerts worldwide.

i'm a big fan of both leehom and lang lang. obviously leehom is more popular as singer-songwriter than a violinist. but i do really like his violin playing, he is considered great violinist also.

[JJJJJJJJ6666]

i guess you are right then.

[Legendaryaznman]

So what if he is not the "master" of violin? Not everyone can play 10 instruments mediocre. And who is the master of singing? No one.

The jokes on you.

[randomnonsense1000]

@Legendaryaznman Err. Yes they can. Go ahead and wizz around on a few instruments. Takes about a few weeks then you can say "I can play a few chords and structures with rhythm and therefore I can play it"

[JJJJJJJJ6666]

Actually leehom is quite famous as a violinist as well..

[yenloo1209]

wat u think u r very good~ y u guys jz give so many of bad comment~terrible~

[jameshoffnung]

This is the most badly played Kreisler that I have ever heard. I cannot believe Lee Hom has chosen to 'rape' such a beautiful piece of music in this manner. It must be the greatest insult to kreisler, not to mention Lang Lang. He should stick to his without substancne pop song for shallow-minded bimboos. The audio is lagging behind the visual by so much. Totally not in sync!!!

[jameshoffnung]

What an insult to Lang Lang!!!

[naturlaut]

This is not a good performance at all: bad ensemble (they were almost always not playing together), he skipped one big section, musically quite dead, out of tone in more than a few spots. Well, he's definitely not professional, but I appreciate his effort. And yes, this is the only video I feel totally comfortable watch LL.

[ladykaede21]

bravo! =O

[lilmzzchnnzchic]

Wow, I can't believe that Lang Lang agreed to play a duet with Lee Hom. Great duet!

[TheBalanceGuardian]

I wish I knew someone named LangLang lol

[MizTressX]

when was this???

[aznbryanc]

haha i didn't see langlang throwing a tantrum in his playing this time :[

[PhuongDiepAnh]

I think lee hom did a good job.

[msiu]

Youtube actually lets you answer the question yourself:

watch?v=WAcXMazffGw

watch?v=j42JjLU73tk

(these are youtube addresses; I can't type the whole url)

Don't you think these kids sound better than him? ;)

[keroni]

is this Kreisler?

[FiEnDmAkEr]

Actually, Lee Hom can play 18 different instruments! I thought that was insane >_> Musical genius ^^

[xxYunSixx]

Why did the audio start lagging with the video and then later got in synch?

[sweetgabby60]

he doesn't suck, actually he has a pretty nice tone, and I love his vibrato...he skips a lot of the song though. He takes it kind of slow, but other than that, adn the pianist is supposed to be at pianisimo not mezzo forte....he skips to the end and doesn't play the double stops...why?

[CUPCUPCUPYOU]

you shouldn't say he suck at violin, as a singer , he has that level of violin, it's amazing

[Percussion888]

lmao first lang lang vid where i dont see him spazzing out and rocking out on the piano

[MaestraZhenzi]

OMG, LangLang's so00 cute!!

[manflux]

hah! All we Violinist no thats nothin but all that matters is that MY LEEHOM IS SOO FRIGGIN HOTT! UUGH GOSH. I want him and I want him now. I think thats the song I played for my 6th grade rehersal....

[chuggingit]

I'm intrigued. So what's considered difficult? Any particular pieces?

[xymex]

WANG LEE HOM ROX MY SOCK!!woot woot..lol..i can't believe he can play violin like that...wow..i thought he could only sing*sigh*

[n0wher3]

That violinist is a babe xD

[julliards]

... he is a singer. he suckz at violin... (no offense)

[josephile]

agree. this is one of my favorites (also repertoire) and he pretty much butchered it. in fact, he sucks at singing as well.

[JUUUUU321]

To josephile: WANG LEEHOM is arguably the best chinese pop star with the best vocals. If he sucks at singing, then there will be no one qualified to be a singer in this world!

[michael988]

@JUUUUU321 no.wrong.jay chou is the best.jay chou's album sold more then lee hom,jay chou is more well known then lee hom.i personally like lee hom but now even show luo is slowly surpassing him.

[JJJJJJJJ6666]

@michael988 talent is not necessarily judged by popularity and album sales...I just have to say jay is a better businessman than leehom..same applies to show luo who is even surpassing jay chou now

[JUUUUU321]

@michael988 now even Show is surpassing jay chou in terms of popularity..so what? Popularity is not forever Leehom still remains the most musically talented..we are talking about music here this video.

[michael988]

@JUUUUU321 lol.no.jay is already famous in america and also hollywood now how does that make show luo surpassing him in terms of popularity?

u wanna talk tabout musically talented,then let me ask u,have u ever seen lee hom composing a short melody in just a few seconds in front of the crowd and also the chords are chosen by the host of the shows.did lee hom ever did that?well jay chou did.dont believe me?i'll show u the link the next time u reply me. :)

[randomnonsense1000]

@michael988 Jay and Wang will always be less talented than rock/metal legends and classical composers face it. Period. You idiots can stop arguing.

[michael988]

@randomnonsense1000 lmao.rock metal legends?haha.classical composers are very talented.no doubt. but rock metal?emo shit going on.

[JUUUUU321]

@michael988 of course leehom has composed a short melody in a few secs just search and you'll find(of course i have also seen jay done so) 1 more thing he has perfect pitch. apparently from ur comments i can tell you dont know much about leehom's background..so just keep quiet.

[JUUUUU321]

@michael988 and jay is infamous; not famous.

[michael988]

@JUUUUU321 baseless assumption.

[lovemusic290791]

@michael988 Hi, I'm a Jay Chou fan. Can you give me the link for that please? Thank you so so so much. I'm dying waiting for his 11th album.

[JUUUUU321]

LEEHOM played the violin at the age of 6 mind you and he ROCKS...

[Crapidiot]

hot guy

[shenlongtang]

well, they are both great, still langlang is so much a great player to play duet with just leehom.

[wieniawski]

the only langlang vid that I didn't laugh at...

[jdxavier]

Great Duet and amazing, truly manificent!!

[lalababa]

Well, Lang Lang wasn't moving THAT much... A good duet.

[thepianist]

Why would anyone in their right mind EVER think of doing a duet with Lang Lang? All that movement distracts from the performer..hm.

[bluestarz3]

luv it!!

[bobotheoboe]

does any body know what episode of TVB music this is from? is it recent?

[echogirlc]

love youuuu leehom!

[snow1081]

OMG they'll make such a great combo, Lang Lang is GREAT
