I recently become one of the Leehom fans mainly because of his music. After listening to some of his old album, I realize his had made good progress on his musics, good job, and keep it up :)

Hi, LeeHom. I'm your newbie fan ;) When i first saw your mtv of forever love, i fell in love with this song, really! Although in this album, there's so many marvellous songs, all done by u, but i'm got touched by this song & u know wat? when i found that most of the songs in your album are done by u, i've even try 2 write some songs by myself & have kept them in a book. It's very fun & interesting 2 write songs. They might not be the nice lyrics to others, or maybe make no sense, but who cares, they're all done by me, all by myself
o(~.~)o Let's keep up the good works!
May All Good Things Fall On U!

P.S. Really in doubt whether u will see my note.

This is really a touching album for Chinese people that make up the chemical reaction of -"East + West Culture". In addition, it is a new definition for Chinese Hip-Hop "Chinked-out" that Lee Hom u dare to give and share your ideas on your songs and music with people in Taiwan, HK and China.
It worths listening as u beautifully bring out western music style using maybe what we say "MIX and MATCH" to combine with the origin of the Chinese traditional music. It is quite good and give me surprise. Keep go on and revolutionize our music world. WOO .... and Great !!!

Everything is cool!

Dear Leehom,
It's been 7 years to be ur fans, i watched every things u done, every videos u made.
I just wanna tell u that everything is wonderful & perfect for me.
U r the best idol in this world. and u r the one for me.

Leehom,

and you are "中国人的骄傲".
i'll also try my best to do something for Chinese Pop Music.

Dear Lee Hom...

Once in a long while, a truly gifted artist comes along to blow away the minds and the ears of the music world. You are that artist. I purchased your CD, “Xin Zhong de Ri Yue,” a few months ago and I just had to write this e-mail to congratulate you in creating such a beautiful, original, and successful album! I am truly amazed at how you soar new heights with each album you produce. You always strive to bring something new by challenging yourself. That challenge you willingly accept is always accompanied by the enrichment of your skills, your character and the quality of your music. Your music and your character are truly an inspiration to all your listeners.

Opening the cover of this CD is like opening the cover of one of the many books of the “Lee Hom” series. I like how it’s personalized with a prologue explaining your album’s conception. This friendly welcome creates a closer bond between you and the listeners that have followed your music ever since your first album and a warm introduction for those listeners who are making their first acquaintance with you.

I’m fascinated by how you gave “Xin Zhong de Ri Yue” its originality by uncovering the hidden gems of Chinese music. You incorporated Chinese heritage in your music not only by including a variety of instruments but also by describing traditional values in your lyrics. For instance, you show that respect for nature is a crucial element in all aspects of the Chinese lifestyle. You illustrate in your lyrics that the Chinese recognize that humans and nature are interconnected. Your songs encompass everything from the stars in the universe to humans on earth. I especially like how you show that the human condition is manifested in nature by using simple and specific yet meaningful images. One can discover a plethora of meaning hidden in the valley, the river, the cold, relentless wind, or deep within the bamboo forest. In this way, you remind us urban dwellers of our affinity with nature. In addition, you give the ethnic minorities a voice through your music by including their beautiful singing styles and unrenowned instruments. As a result, the listener’s imagination is transported to the rural areas of China. It has such an enchanting effect!

However, traditional Chinese music is not the only keynote that gives your 10th album its originality. You symphonize it with a contemporary, western flavour, creating a new musical hybrid that could possibly, in my opinion, revolutionize the music world. This harmonious balance symbolizes a yin and yang of the traditional and the contemporary sound. This fusion portrays who you are and what you know: American and Chinese culture. “Chinked-out” builds a bridge between the east and the west. In a way, it feels as if you are acting as a pioneer who will break those stereotypes existing between both cultures, making it easier to cross that bridge to peace, understanding, and friendship. You show that ethnic groups can both maintain their integrity of cultural distinction yet also live together harmoniously as displayed in your music; I pray that message will reach the ears and hearts of all human beings.

“Xin Zhong de Ri Yue” transcends age, time, and culture as well. You bridge the generation gap by not only balancing the music of newer and older generations but also drawing in the common themes of love and loss to your lyrics. People of the past, present, and future can relate to these themes, which reinforces the fact that we are all connected by similar experiences. Different ethnicities can also appreciate the diverse sounds in your songs. For instance, I have a Caucasian friend who watched the music videos that came with your album. Your music and the multiple talents you displayed in the music videos instantly astonished her. I hope your music will give rise to not only respect for the Chinese culture by other ethnicities but also spark their interest in it.

One suggestion I have as to how you may stimulate respect and interest for our culture is to provide translations of your lyrics in English and Japanese of your future Chinese albums. You could provide these translations on your websites so that anyone can easily access them. In addition, you could include pin yin translations so that Chinese people, who are not as proficient with their motherland language, or learners of mandarin could use your music as a rich learning instrument. For instance, I’m not fluent in mandarin but your songs are extremely helpful in making the language easier and a pleasure to learn. People can also immerse themselves in your music where they can learn about Chinese lifestyles, values, and perspectives on the world. It would also give a chance for Chinese people living in foreign countries to learn about the extent and intricacy of their own roots. Being Chinese Canadian and living in a city with a small Chinese community, there aren’t as many opportunities for me to expose myself to the Chinese culture as there are in larger cities. I’m sure there are numerous other Chinese who want to get in touch with their roots but are unable to do so. Please continue to be the guide in revealing to your listeners (Chinese or not) this culture we still know so little about!

Delving into your songs is like a muse for the imagination. Your music has a therapeutic effect that removes me to a dream-like state where I feel relaxed and comforted. I enjoy analyzing the various components of your songs because I realize that you put a lot of thought and detail into each piece. Each instrument and lyric you carefully chose gives a song its unique character. Mystery lies within the words and notes, which takes time to discover and interpret their connotative roles. That’s probably why I can listen to your CD repeatedly without getting bored!

Although the instrumental sounds and lyrics give your music its essence, it is your exquisite voice that manipulates the listener’s emotions. The range of your voice allows you to express the varying nuances of rising and falling emotion, making the listener’s senses tremble in delight, pain or anything in between. Even though I don’t understand every word you sing, I can sense the meaning you’re communicating by listening to your voice. Your voice has this genuine quality of beauty and purity that reminds me of bamboo swaying in the wind. It is strong and powerful yet flexible, versatile, and graceful. This is shown by your ability to sing both Hip Hop and R&B. I savour the texture of your voice that glides into the ears and massages the mind. It reminds me of the serenity one feels when listening to the rustling of bamboo leaves.

It amazes me how your talents extend much further than music but to all different art forms. You can dance, act, speak and write very well in multiple languages, direct your own music videos…and I’m sure the lists runs on and on and that you will only keep on adding new skills to it! Your fervour for learning and self-improvement is unparalleled. You cherish the gifts you have been blessed with and you certainly don’t waste an ounce of that blessing.

You are the epitome of what a song artist should be and the definition of the phrase “chasing your dreams.” You use music as a way of expressing yourself and sharing your perspective on the world and on life like no other. Music is the love of your life. I can hear and feel your heart and soul reverberating in each and every one of your songs. I can sense the passion, the intrigue, the hopes and dreams that drive your music. May new artists take you as their role model and use music for what it’s meant to be used. May they pay less attention to image, money, and superficial things that tarnish the purity and beauty of music. I’m impressed by how you don’t get swept up in the whirlwind of fame and fortune. Your vision of your goals for yourself and your music seem to be well defined and unclouded. Your unique image only fosters your music and the meaning of music to you. The image you present in “Xin Zhong de Ri Yue” also proudly exposes who you truly are along with who you have become. I can tell that you have control and input on how you choose to present yourself. You never seem to get swayed by others telling you what sells because music to you does not fall in the category of “business.” You stay firmly grounded and I really admire that quality in you as an artist and as an individual. I pray that other artists will learn to transform both their music and identities into masterpieces of which they can be proud. I also hope that young adolescents will adopt you as a role model. You prove to them that they can reach their full potentials as long as they have a dream and a relentless drive. With that affirmation you instill in adolescents, may they boldly seek their passion and immerse themselves in it with an insatiable appetite for exploration like you.

Despite all the latter attributes mentioned, the most impressive quality you possess, in my opinion, is your humbleness. Humility is often a quality that wanes when people pride themselves too much in their talents and success. I believe that being and staying humble is one of the most difficult challenges to overcome in the process of self-improvement. One example of your humility is clearly displayed by the way you searched for musical inspiration by traveling to rural regions all over China. The people living in those areas may be ethnic minorities but the way you respected them and incorporated their music into your 10th album clearly demonstrates that you, in no manner, perceive them as minor or underdeveloped in their artistic culture. They absolutely represent the foundation of both Chinese music and the history of music on a worldwide basis. Your willingness to learn more about music shows how you don’t believe you already know all there is to know about the art. I pray that stardom and your own brilliance will never daze your humility.

I’m sure that you would have never reached the stage where you proudly stand today without the help of many others. That is why I am very grateful for the support of your family, friends, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, and just everyone who had a part in bringing your dreams to reality. Your combined effort has given music lovers in Asia and overseas the fortune of getting to know extraordinary talent and an extraordinary person. May their love and support for you be everlasting so that you will have the strength to both captivate more listeners and to reach the highest frontiers in music.

Congratulations in becoming such a successful artist! However, I’m sure your success is far from over. I have a feeling that your horizons are bigger and wider than you can dream of. I hope you will hold a concert in Vancouver, B.C. one day. It would be a dream-come-true! I would definitely take the ferry over to Vancouver to watch you perform. But, I have just one request. Could you please hold one performance on the weekend so that I will not have to skip work or classes at university? Thanks! Take care; you’ll be in my prayers. In the meantime, I will be waiting for news of any upcoming Lee Hom concerts in Vancouver!

May the Lord bless your health, happiness and music career!

P.S. If you have read up to the end of this long letter, I wholeheartedly thank you for taking the time out of your busy life! (=^.^=)

「心中的日月樂譜書」裡文章的內容非常有意義哦！
我看了之後，獲益良多。

我也很喜歡小甜甜布蘭妮的「Everytime」這首歌，
很開心我和力宏一樣喜愛同一首歌哦！
好心疼力宏正在肚子餓的時候，還要幫店員簽名，
當時力宏肚子一定咕嚕咕嚕叫，真捨不得力宏餓肚子。
之前在唯一樂譜書的最後面幾頁，
看到一張力宏咬牙切齒表情的照片，
旁邊寫著「拜託別再簽名了！」，
從此以後，我要求自己除了簽唱會之外，
都不向力宏索取簽名了。
我覺得最重要的是能聽力宏的音樂，就足夠了。

我非常同意力宏的看法，中國人要對自己有信心，
將我們獨特的特質散發出來，擁抱我們自己的文化，
並努力把它提升到更有競爭力的位置，
讓全世界的人對中國人刮目相看。

看到力宏所描述的中國西部之旅的心情點滴，
了解音樂是可以在生活中無所不在的，
音樂也可以洗禮人們的心靈，
讓人們的生活更加多采多姿。
非常欣賞力宏的用心和努力，
非常辛苦的到邊疆地區采風，
力宏對音樂的那份使命感令我相當地欽佩。

記者們請用實際的行動來問問讀者最想看到的內容是什麼，
而不是沒有依據的報導一些自認為是讀者想看的新聞，
例如以問卷調查或親自採訪的方式……。
對我而言，我想看的是有所憑據、客觀、正面、屬實、專業，
以及和音樂有關的新聞報導。
媒體朋友們，請不要影響力宏的私人生活，好嗎？
不要跟蹤力宏，不要侵犯到力宏隱私，
讓力宏能自由自在的生活好嗎？
力宏好謙虛，在我心目中，力宏是個才華洋溢的人，
力宏卻還是不斷地在找尋學習機會，
與多次獲得葛萊美獎的混音工程師Mick Guzauski一起進行混音的工作，
Mick Guzauski非常地體貼，知道力宏對貓過敏，
在錄音前一個禮拜把12隻貓遷出錄音室。
非常謝謝這位混音大師那麼地貼心哦！
力宏一直是我學習的楷模，
因為力宏對音樂的執著、努力、用心、投入、熱忱……都值得我學習。

力宏書上敘述的「We are the world」這首歌，我覺得好熟悉，
和「愛心無國界 送愛到南亞」主題曲愛這首歌很像，
我在網路上搜尋之後，
才知道是由「We are the world」改編而成的，
這兩首歌都好好聽，也具有很大的意義。
力宏說得對，音樂有一種能感動靈魂的力量，
讓我們有一股無形的動力幫助我們勇敢邁步前進。
非常感謝力宏創作許許多多非常棒的音樂，
每當我聽力宏的音樂時，都有了許多的啟發和感觸。
期待力宏年底的新專輯哦！
力宏，加油！加油！加油！
我們會一直支持你到永遠。

從「一把螺絲起子」文章中，
感覺到力宏創作音樂相當地辛苦，
從午夜到清晨是大家都熟睡的時候，
力宏正陶醉在自己的音樂世界裡，
我想力宏在作音樂的時刻是最開心的了。
我會一直珍惜力宏的音樂作品，
每天都聽力宏的歌和廣播電台，
已成為習慣了，沒有聽反而覺得怪怪的。
看得出來力宏對音樂非常地重視，
也相當重視錄音的品質，
細心的準備配唱前的準備工作，
在錄音前先來個三十分鐘的暖聲發聲練習。
如果錄音室的某個機器出了問題，
力宏也會很有耐心的做許多繁瑣的測試。
非常感謝黑人在力宏有困難的時候，
幫助力宏解決問題。
力宏有黑人這個朋友，
我真為力宏感到開心哦！
也非常謝謝那位五金行的老闆，
因為你的熱心讓力宏可以順利錄製新專輯。
力宏的一份感恩的心也令我很感動哦！
雖然新聞報導的一些社會新聞看了都令人痛心，
但我在日常生活中還是有遇到好心人哦！
台灣真的是個很有人情味的地方，
彼此互相守望相助，互相關懷。
力宏說得對，台灣就像一個充滿愛的家。

從力凱的文章中，
可以感覺得到力凱對力宏的崇拜、尊敬、欽佩，也相當關心力宏。
力凱對困苦的孩童們有一份憐憫之心，
希望能教育他們，幫助他們脫離貧窮，
也希望他們的天分不會被埋沒和有權利選擇自己的命運。
令我非常地欣賞和感動。
力凱加油！祝你夢想成真！也祝福力宏夢想成真！

力凱心目中的力宏：
家人在力宏心中是永遠最重要的，
即使他的名氣再大，這點是不會改變的。
在力宏身學到在做每一件事情時，都抱持著決心與熱情。

以前我看過陶淵明詩人的文章之後，
就一直希望我將來有能力能打造一個理想的桃花源，
也非常崇拜這位詩人偉大的情操。
我覺得力宏和田園詩人陶淵明有許多雷同之處，
都希望能帶給社會正面的影響，以及淡泊名利的情懷……。
力宏的認真是最迷人的，
做每一件事情都相當投入，
也讓我學到了許多。

希望力宏身體健康、幸福快樂，
早日找到心目中的Forever Love和心愛的人白頭偕老。

力宏的音乐很棒，是让我感觉越听越想听的那种；力宏的声音很好听，是让我一听到就依不开耳朵的那种。
很希望他的音乐能被更多人肯定，也预祝他的唱片大卖——今天是我生日，这是我的第二个心愿哦（第一个愿望是希望力宏能够幸福）。
