  • He is brilliant person, talented, honest, gentle and I admire him for that.... I hope I can find any of his albums here in the Philippines. God Speed Alenxander!.... I hope I can see you in personal someday!...

  • would you believe i just discover him yesterday, i watch his movie love in disguise...so funny!!! hes perfect very educated..a role model to all aspiring songwriter,singer..etc

  • and he said he isn't a good speaker.

    not only does he speak perfect english,

    the composed way he arranges his words and his eloquent

    answers are just beyond amazing.

    and i just get to really know this guy like, 20 minutes ago.

    you can tell how educated he is just by listening to him talk, he's courteous

    and very modest in his speech.

    i can't believe i wasn't a fan of his 20 minutes ago.

    well i definitely am now! LOL

  • I like his voice....

  • this is the definition of a talented man

  • He is so talented! He is so cute & handsome! I love his songs! I have almost all his albums. I too was born and raised in Rochester, NY. I still live here in Rochester, NY. I think it is very cool that he is from here. I hope to go to his concert someday and see him in person. It will be nice to be friends with him. :)

  • soooooooo inspiring! He's so hard working and educated

  • his voice is ADORABLE. he sounds like a little boy.

  • He's so talented! He plays everything! I love his songs too!

  • I think i finally got the idea of how does the west use the stereotype of 'CHING CHONG POW'

  • Haha, that's just like me and my sister. Everything she did, I wanted to do. I kind of have to give her credit for getting me into all the artsy stuff I'm doing in college now :)

  • 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!

  • I think he would have made a fantastic doctor too <3

  • i love the song in the end~ what is it called?

  • @heroandflor Zhu Lin Shen zhu (or chu?)

  • omg i love his english.. he doesnt sound mandarin at all!

    love lee hom!

    he must've been really tired.. flying on planes across the world! mad jet lag

  • english is his native language since he was born and raised in the US. he only learnt mandarin as his second language when he was 18.

  • yeah i know... most peole here know too.. if they are fans.

  • @jeffreyhadi haha dats what im doin

  • I think it's because he's American born and raised...

  • yeah, i already know this -_______-''

  • he is the proud of taiwan yeah

  • was he born and raised in the States?? he sounds nothin Taiwanese..

  • ahhh imagine if he didnt choose music.

  • noooo lolz

  • nice interview^^

  • no kidding he;s adorable

  • DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. i think i melted

  • Heck our president doesn't get invited anywhere cuz china will throw a big tantrum and start bomb bomb bomb.China is still Communism which just sucks so I can't accept that it's become the most powerful country in the world when it is still communism. + our way of life is totally different to China's.

  • come on ,leehom,you are the best chinese singer.

  • leehom rocks!!!

  • lol no wonder ur name is Lumberjack(redneck) u probably never seen a real Chinese in ur life right?

  • i love this reply so funny lol~

  • He is Taiwanese. His father is from Taiwan. Taiwan is already so different from China. We don't belong to anyone. Taiwan is it's own country, even if we aren't officially recognized because no one wants to make China mad. China will probably throw a fit and start blowing things up.

  • actually, taiwan is still really a part of china. it is considered to b a free country by the US and some other places but technically, its still a part of china. you make china sound so bad, the truth is tho, one of the major reasons why taiwan is still a part of china is because the people from the two places are so connected with each other. I am from mainland china and i have a lot of relatives from taiwan. china isn't that petty. we're not going to blow things up on a whim.

  • Well your government sure is.They just want to grab onto Taiwan and tell the whole world that we belong to China when we don't! We are not a part of China and never will be,the sooner your petty govt realises that the better it is for everyone. China forces the world to believe them just cuz they have billions of people, it is really annoying how everyone has to listen to them.This is the 21st century and we want freedom and DEMOCRACY.

  • One of the major reasons why Taiwan is still not recognized worldwide as its own country is because no one knows how China will retaliate whether it be economically or by using more extreme measures. You may have relatives in both countries but they have more differences then similarities. Even the language is growing further apart. Not only speaking but writing as well. China uses simplified characters while Taiwan still uses traditional.

  • Did you know majority of the rich Taiwanese business people lives in China? Taiwan is an will always be a part of China just like how Scotland and Ireland is England's. All KMT veterans were from the Mainland China so thats one of the biggest similarities. People like you are dispicable , instead of trying to find similarities you try to find differences among eachother to cause more separation.

  • And what do You know about Taiwan? Have You been to Mainland and Taiwan? If you were you know what is the different. By the US people seem don't know much of what is happening outside of the country, like You.

  • I have no doubt that a lot of Taiwanese business people do work in China. That is where their factories are and so forth. They might even have a second home in China because they have to do so much business BUT their real HOME is still Taiwan. Like you said..they are TAIWANESE. One day Taiwan will become independent. I am also aware that KMT soldiers ran to Taiwan after they lost to the communists but there is still a division between actual Taiwanese people and them.

  • You want to talk about despicable? How about people like you who want to deny Taiwan their right to be their own country. All of us would probably get along a lot better if China wasn't trying to oppress Taiwan. Their wouldn't be all this animosity.

  • how is China trying to oppress Taiwan?!? Did you see all the stupid benefits that China give to Taiwanese citizens these days? They get special no wait zone when checking out of airports and special tax on their businesses. You are trying to cause separation which IS EXACTLY WHAT THE WEST WANTS. Why can't you see division = weakness. Do you think this is what Sun Yet Sen wants? You are too stupid to be played by the west, the west want to see a weaker Asia. You are dispicable.

  • China is trying to oppress Taiwan by not letting Taiwan become it's own country...How many times do I need to say that? What do these benefits have to do with anything. It still isn't giving Taiwan complete independence. We can still be a unified Asia even if Taiwan was it's own country. With your logic, why not have China take Korea and Japan as well? You can't say division = weakness as an excuse to keep hold of a people who want to be independent.

  • How is China trying prevent Taiwan from being a country, I know countless of Taiwanese who wants to reunify with China , because they have family down there and they want to travel to travel with ease. The reason why KMT lost to CCP was because they was separate AS HELL CCP owned the 5 million KMT troops easily because each KMT province was independent dont give a shit about eachother. Taiwan was on the Chinese map for thousand of years why don't you admit that? You want Asia to be Africa!?!

  • China is preventing Taiwan from being it's own country because of people like you who keep saying that Taiwan is a part of China or that Taiwan "belongs" to China. China even has or had missiles pointed at Taiwan if they made even one more move towards independence. The Taiwanese people who want to Taiwan and China to be one probably hasn't been in Taiwan for long. They are called Wai Sheng Ren.

  • Even Leehom supported one China thats why he ran for the torch so go figure, theres people who try to bring people together and point out similarities and there are people like you who wants people to be separate and have hate and prejudice for eachother.

  • And Lee Hom doesn't support "one" China. He supports the two countries getting along better NOT that China should take Taiwan. I never said I didn't want to bring people together or that I want all of us to live in hate but we would all get along better if China wasn't trying to force us to "one" with them. Having separate countries won't inherently bring prejudice and chaos. It actually might even improve relations because there wouldn't be this tension between Taiwan and China.

  • And Leehom said he was Chinese why would he call his album "chinked out" he even say that his ancestry from Zhejian. Besides look at Hong Kong today it is total BS when they say China is going to bring disaster. The West wants every country to be independent did you study how the Ottoman Empire collapsed, the independence propaganda is a tool and makes you a tool if you fall for it?

  • Lee Hom also says he is Taiwanese. Hence his bas in Asia is in Taiwan...In terms of race, yeah sure, we're Chinese but nationally we are Taiwanese. I also wouldn't doubt that China would react violently if Taiwan tried for independence. Just look at Tibet and the on going conflict there and how many people the Chinese have killed over there.

  • Chinese is not a race , Asian is a race I don't know where you go to school. From as of right it looks like Taiwan is slowly going to peacefully unify with China and that is what the Pan Blue's Party goal is and with all the corruption from the (pro independence)Pan Green party right now such as Chen Shui Bian people's realizing they have been played and also robbed of their money, more people are supporting the Pan Blue.

  • i agree with SweetChestnut07.

    plus racially, we're not even 'pure' chinese. my family also has dutch and taiwanese aboriginal blood and the chinese ancestors in our family came from china hundreds of years ago, unlike the WaiShengRen nowadays who go around proclaiming that Taiwan belongs to China

  • wow...I'm not going through the exact same discussion with you. Read below comments if you really care that much...

  • u should care entertainment is entertainment, here is not congress

  • You are also avoiding the question. Why not just let China take every Asian country then if you are so focused on being unified? And how will letting Taiwan be independent turn Asia into Africa? Why don't you try making some sense? You'll sound less like a moron that way.

  • You're the moron because Taiwan is on the Chinese map for thousand of years there is absolutely no reason not to unify Taiwan. Was Japan or Korea on China's map before, you idiot. Besides a large survey showed there is only 18% Taiwanese people who wants independence, so don't be saying that majority of them wants independence. I bet you supported Chen Shui Bian who robs the sht out of you and the Taiwanese people's money and try to shrink Taiwan by trying to declare it independent.

  • Um...actually Korea was a part of China a long time ago. Why not go get it back. So was Mongolia. Are you saying it is okay for China to retake those countries as well? Where do you get your numbers? There are also a lot of people who say they want unification just because they don't want China to bring disaster to Taiwan.

  • the original China map from Qing dynasty to Sun Yet Sen does NOT include korea or Mongolia. If Sun Yet Sen was alive today he'd wouldn't even hesitate on reunifying China. Did you know After the collapse of the Qing China was divided into many parts each declared itself as a country and some was very prosperous, but they Sun Yet Sen reunified China by force since they are all Chinese. Just look at Africa right now all all them independent but they are the most poorest and weakest nations.

  • You like the idea of being forced to unify? And check your facts. Sun Yat Sen's map did include Mongolia. They only became independent very recently. Korea was a bit further in history but it was a part of China no question. You can't even compare Africa to Asia. The reason Africa is in such chaos is because Europeans divided the continent into random countries when Britain, France, Spain, and Portugul colonized it without giving any consideration to different tribes.

  • As for Tibet when KMT was in control of China in the 1940s U.S. recognized Tibet as China but it changed when KMT was abdicated to Taiwan. If a country can't even keep its Sovereignty then it can't be called a country, would you have supported a Confederate States of America? And the only conflict in Tibet is with the exiled Tibetans in India, and Tibetans get much more special privileges than Chinese people and if you take travel there you will see. You are just feeding to the West Propaganda.

  • It isn't in the best interest for America to have Taiwan be completely taken by China and they wouldn't like complete independence either. They would rather we stay in this tension. I am also not talking about Tibet being recognized. I was talking about how they were massacred when those who were exhiled tried to come back, like the dalai lama, around the time of the olympics. That isn't feeding the west propaganda. That is fact. The point is that China poses a threat to Taiwan.

  • entertainment is entertainment,piz don't impose ur personal ideas on policies, in fact, it's none ur business.

  • China massacre who??? That is propaganda where are your soucres of Tibetans getting massacred? You HAVE NO IDEA what you are talking about, that is pure Western propaganda you are eating. If you don't know a situation please to make it up and then get people to support your agenda.

  • The Chinese government did go kill Tibetans...You're the one who seems to be in denial but I guess I can't blame you. China does have a tendency to bend the media to their own accord. Not your fault you're being brainwashed.

  • lol see what I mean by brainwashed, you put words in my mouth that I didn't say. You said "massacre" kill and massacre is a very different thing. I guess if you were the police and you see people looting, burning , and killing you going to just stand there and watch. There was little Chinese girl who got burned alive imagine if that was your family. And that was NOT media biased CNN and BBC (Pro Tibetan) showed the rioting and people cell phone as well so seriously stop BSing

  • And where are your sources? If the media I watch is biased, then so is yours. There was no report of extreme enough violence to constitute killing or do the Chinese police not do arrests anymore. If you show me where you get your information, then I'll show you where I get mine because I get the feeling you're BSing just as much as me.

  • I like how almost every site that has this story is from China. While there was violence in Tibetan protests, the facts about the situation are unclear. They used to be peaceful protesters in the past so what caused them to explode is unknown. You can't really say whose fault all these deaths are or what caused what. China not letting western reporters into Tibet is suspicious though. Why don't you try diversifying where you get your information instead of relying only on Chinese news...

  • There are fews things in life that is just not worth the time arguing and you should avoid it that is politics, religion, and philosophy. Everyone has different views and some people have strong feelings to each. But what you said earlier is pure bias and you didn't bother spend the time looking at things at a different perspective because your feelings so tied up to what your parents said or what some of the people you trust says. But don't through BS out just to show ur feeling.

  • What makes you any different. There is no news no report that isn't biased towards one side or the other and for the sake of your side, you'll go with whatever report best suits your argument. The news that you don't agree with, or course you'll say is BS. You are just as biased as anyone. It just so happens that in all situations, you'll support China which is completely understandable but you don't really have the right to say anyone else is BSing when you are doing the same thing.

  • there are no consequences,u debate here,now u should enjoy ur life,after all, u r not president

  • I totally agree with u! talking about these is wasting our life

  • I also will not discuss whatever rivalry you think there is between Asian countries and Western countries. That is a completely different topic.

  • Wow, i love how this argument about a completely seperate topic from the video went on for 40 replies haha

  • I can only be happy for him-what a life he's had so far :D

    He's inspiring!

  • He's officially Taiwanese American, but ethnically... we're all originally came from China long long time ago... (but his dad's a Taiwanese!)

  • i think lee hom is a great example for asian music because others out there that dont listen to asian music would asume it sucks or really bad because of how the people look like and how asians are potrayed in the streotypical world. and him being on CNN which is international TV or national TV would let others out there know what asian music is like and start respecting it! go leehom go lee hom.

  • I agree with you there. =D I think that he might be the most talented musician in the music industry. (:
