One of my favourite Leehom song EVER EVER!!! Shangrila, along with “Heroes of Earth”, “Hua Tian Cuo” (more on those later XD) etc pretty much represent Leehom. They all fall under Leehom’s “Chinked Out” category which means they are a fuse of Chinese traditional music and Western hip-hop and RnB rhythms. The results are FANTASTICAL! Ok enough background information.

This performance right here is AMAZING! A MUST WATCH!!! The boy pawns in live performances, no joke.. Everytime he performs, the song sounds different from the original CD version and its just pure genius at work. ♥ He also plays the er-hu in this. I used to think er-hu were for old people, but he definitely proved me wrong. Dont trust me? GO WATCH IT!! He looks so hot *___*

PAS:

Like Beckery said in her comment, this guy is AMAZING at lives, absolutely incredible. His lives are so good that they sound BETTER than studio recordings. The technology actually masks how good his lives are *_* And he always changes things up a bit with each performance, so his performances are always great to watch~!

Leehom created the “Chinked Out” genre, which like Beckery said, is pretty much a mix of traditional Chinese music with western hip hop, and this song is an excellent representation of it. In the song, you can hear the use of traditional Chinese instruments, but it’s still “hip” enough to be pop music. Beautiful song <33333 AND HE PLAYS ER-HU IN THIS PERFORMANCE. OMG. Er-hu is a traditional Chinese instrument, no often seen nowadays, but Leehom plays it so well *_* Absolute genius, I tell you

This is the first countdown post that we’re doing on Leehom. We’ll be posting one of these everyday until his new album (Heartbeat) comes out on the 26th of December ^^. Any thoughts?
