Lee Hom's Not Your Average Thug can be heard on the airwaves! And on an English radio station at that! Perfect 10 98.7FM is featuring the song as a new song this week! I suppose soon it'll be time to cast our votes for it on the Perfect 10 charts! ;D

yah! haha, isn't it exciting to know that soon, many of our non-chinese speaking/ non-chinese-music-listening friends would also be humming the same song as us and get to know about LH?! ;D wonder if other english music stations in the region are also having this song....

I certainly hope so! I suppose that's the whole purpose, isn't it? To get him to sing in the language he knows best, maximising his potential and then introducing him to the English market. And that's actually just one small step to expanding his fan base. Lee Hom has yet to break into his own country's music scene... and we all know that market's one tough cookie. Apparently the British scene's a little bit easier...

haha can't wait till LH releases his english album, maybe that would entice him to come to Australia!!
I have been locking my english speaking friends into a room and forcing them to listen to LH song hahah to try to "convert" them haha
Can't wait till the day, LH is a international singer!

It definitely is a whole new thing hearing songs on the radio...ahhh I am so jealous that you get to hear 'Not your Average Thug' on radion that is my favorite song!
Lou as for him coming to Australia if and when he breaks into the English market, I doubt it NOONE comes to Austraia it suxs!!
On another note, him breaking into the English market...wow that will be tough. I think he has amazing talent but I just don't know, I mean look at Coco Lee she totally bombed!!

haha Jo now now...be proud of your country...maybe I could entice LH with the fact we have some of the best beaches in the world and a great lifestyle haha sound like an ambassador tehee....
Craig David came on his leg of the world tour...so we aren't that neglected teehee..and I went to see him and he was awesome..sounds even better then on the album, and his songs are pretty hard to sing and he didn't like some singers do make it easier for the live version...errr..sorry I think I am on the wrong fan site hahahaha
As for Coco lee..teehee well at least she tired...somehow I think it was the image that she had..it just didn't work..the trailer trash thing just doesn't work as it used to teehee...no offence to COCo..she's an awesome singer..she just needs more material on her outfits...

Oh I am definitely proud of my country, we even have an Australian flag hanging in our apartment...BUT not many acts seem to come to Australia. We get Robbie Williams, Ronan Keating, Craid David. Ok I am sensing a pattern...I stand corrected no big acts from the STATES come to Australia. I just don't think we have the population for the ticket sales. I think Leehom would love Australia it is a beautiful country, but would he be able to sell out an entertainment centre is the million dollar question?!
As for the whole Coco thing I really wonder why she didn't make it, I mean look at Britney and Christina...they wear next to nothing and they have made it big! She did try though and good on her, I just don't want Leehom to be heartbroken if he doesn't end up the next Justin Timberlake hehe.

hmmm... i guess such things take time? rather he takes a slow steady climb to the top then rocketing up and slide down again. well it never hurts to hold some hope for him to go to australia?  though understand what ya all mean... |

hahah I must write to Hom and tell him of our beautiful country!...maybe for a holiday..I will be happy to be a tour guide haha
I really dun know about asian singers making it in the international scene...maybe its biases against the race?? I dunna...the next Justin Timberlake>?? Hopefully Hom can do even better than that!!!
You know with CoCo...I actually thought her english album was quite good...
I get your point though Jo..look at Britney...but maybe the "westerners" do not think she is sexy enough to have such an image...I would rather a classier kinda look on her..she still rocks!

hmm... i tot Coco lee was quite successful... from the feedback of those reports.... well... i'm not hoping much for him to break into the English market... i think it's too hard... but it's always good to try... gosh i sound like i'm so sure he's not gonna make it.. hehe......

"Not Your Average Thug" is No. 2 on the Perfect 10 Top 20 Chart and has been on the chart for 5 weeks. Anyone here has keeping track of its ascent on the Perfect 10 chart? Maybe we can put it up on the Our Home SG website. And since we are at it, do vote for the song on the Perfect 10 Top 20 chart! View the Perfect 10 Top 20 Chart. |
