Wang Lee Hom knows not to laugh or cry. After the concert started, Wang Lee Hom appealed to all audiences to pray for the victims of Taiwan, presenting a heartwarming atmosphere. In the midst of the concert, Wang Lee Hom said, “It’s like a huge party tonight. To be with all of you, I am extremely happy, courageous, and safe.” With that, Wang Lee Hom took up his guitar and started singing An Quan Gan (Sense of Security?). Following up were Crying Palms and If You Heard My Song etc, continuously stirring fans to sing along. After a rock-based new song, Dirty Love, Wang Lee Hom shouted, “I am now stimulated. All of you made me excited.” Before singing his cover of Michael Jackson’s Man in the Mirror, Wang Lee Hom specially reminded everyone, “When you leave, please do not forget the Man in the Mirror CD, which I recorded. It’s a gift from Michael Jackson through me.” Jackie Chan specially rushed to his concert, and his appearance stimulated cheers from the audience. Jackie Chan said teasingly, “Leehom is all-rounded and multi-talented, he plays the piano, guitar, drums, he composes, and hold concerts, almost the same as me, just that he’s a little more handsome. I really want to sing a song with Lee Hom, but because I didn’t inform my presence previously, I can only kiss him on behalf of all of you.” Immediately, Jackie pulled Wang Lee Hom in a hug and kissed him twice. He continued, “I have never went up a stage without singing, but this time I came here to cheer Lee Hom on.” ================================================== Wang Lee Hom pays tributes to Michael Jackson, his senior, in concert In his concert, Wang Lee Hom plans to pay tribute to his idol Michael Jackson. He denied that it was an act of trend. Taiwanese singer Wang Lee Hom will be holding his “Music Man 2009 Beijing Concert” in the Workers Stadium on the 22th of August. Tickets selling started officially yesterday, and Wang Lee Hom, who came over to Beijing to promote his concert, expressed that he would be singing a classic of Michael Jackson, and perform his signature dances. Performing his dance to remember him FW (the name of the newspaper): After Michael Jackson’s death, many artistes imitated him, for example, Eason Chan plans to pay tribute to Michael Jackson in his concert as well, are you following the trend? LH (Leehom): I think this is something natural. It’s enough to prove how much influence Michael Jackson has – everyone wishes to remember him in their own manner. I have no idea Eason’s concert planned to have something like that too. I just wanted to pay my tribute to Michael Jackson. FW: Word has it that you will be performing his signature dance, are you practising a lot lately? LH: (Yes.) I have to practise, his dance moves are really tough. However, this part of my concert will not be an imitation show. Used to be under Quincy Jones together FW: Did you have the honour of meeting him (Michael Jackson) in person? LH: I have never met him (Michael Jackson) before, but we were once under a same teacher, Quincy Jones. I am close to his sister Janet, and I know his manager as well. FW: We heard Michael Jackson’s compositions have given you a lot of inspirations? LH: (Yes.) When I was in University, I sang Man in the Mirror with my choir members. This song inspired me to write my own song, Change Me. Jackson’s another song We Are The World inspired me as well, and hence I wrote Hand in Hand.
