My Say...

[guestmike]

I'm new to this board...seems there are many issues being discussed over here...thot of voicing out my views....

From wat I know, in order to be a successful fan club, you got to have good team mates and strong support from the recording label/sponsors. Recording label is the profit making party, they ought to weigh every pros and cons....thus it's not always the case for them to be the giver and the fan club the receiver.

Realistically recording company should expect the fan club to perform and GIVE them the result that they want. If the fan club can't perform, they will lose out the bargaining power! BUT you got to remember that IT TAKES TWO HANDS TO CLAP...The fan club does not consists of the president and the committee only...A fan club means the people (i.e members) that make this up!

Here's a few of my suggestion: to get the recording label to be more confident in us, maybe we should be more active in the album sales and all radio/tv charts. And most importantly to show enthusiasm in any public activity with your idol. I think these should be the result that they would like to see from the fans. THE FAN CLUB GOT TO BE UNITED.

Before closing, I would like to add that most activities which was organised for Lee Hom and fans in other clubs got the support from the radio stations, sponsors and recording label. Why do fans always get the benefits? Cos they work for it! How? See answer in above paragraph ;D

If some of you are comparing how well the club organises by just looking at whether or not they have any gathering with Lee Hom....I think you are in the wrong track. For all you know the fan club might be just waiting for THAT OPPORTUNITY to prove that they can be as good ;D

wah sounds so... cheem... but it makes sense though. you sound like you're addressing some meeting. heh. should strive to be a parliament member and speak up for the civilians! ok i was being a bit mad but i think now we should just try and know each other first or sth...?

[guestmike]

Sorry...a bit serious lah....maybe it is something I feel I should let many young fans aware of ;D

[jaslynn]

Hi Mike
well i do agree with wat you say althought a bit serious. ;D

[Lou]

I think that what Mike has said is very creditable however I think that we could look at it with a slightly less serious air!
our home sg is made up of not only a singaporians but also many international fans that without a local fan club available turn to ourhomesg for up-to-date news, pics and special events in ENGLISH. This most likely is becuase of its prescence on the internet as an english site.
To my knowledge the people that frequent this site do not seem to know many of the other people on this site. We are not as united as other fanclubs as Mike says and hence we don't get as much support from the record label
This is most likely due to the fact that many of us using this site are oversea's and can't be in person to support LH as ourhomesg fans.
Another reason would be that not every makes the effort to try to meet other fans using this site.
I encourage everyone to go out there and chat to other people on this site we all share a common interest and there are alot of great people in the club!
Maybe than ourhomesg would have a greater prescence and gain the recognition that it deserves!
Its a great club with great people (add oil guys!)

[Janice]

yeah... i agree totally too! Glad to know that some of u ppl also thinks that the club should unite! hee..! well, hope that the club will grow stronger and better! i believe this can be done if more members are active and supportive! way to go!

[cHrIsTiNe]

Yeah, tat's rite! I mean if we r united, then tiz shows 1 thing - thru LH's music, there is a bond formed among the members. If I din remember wrongly, LH said that he was glad that thru his music, ppl r being bonded together reardless of geographical boundary rite? I think the bond that is formed is a valuable outcome too. If we din have any pte sessions with Mr Wang( ;D, getting cheeky now), I tot it's k coz the bond is the most impt thing. As wat Lou has said, do treasure the opportunity to know more fans out there(regardles they r local or not). In tiz way, LH has sort of achieved his aim of spreading his music n his ideas to the rest of the world rite?

[fAytH]

Yes! *raises right fist into the air* Lee Hom fans of the world, UNITE! Hahaha~ ;D as the saying goes, music transcends all boundaries (Lee Hom used that in his Singapore concert as well), so as long as we have a love for music, his music, that would be enough to bond us together to support him. In some ways it may sound idealistic of us to say things like that, but seriously, when it comes down to the simplest reason as to why we're here, guess it's still the music, right? So... yeah~ think my point is clear enough la, say too much v.losoh... hehe. and anyway (this is a thoroughly personal opinion!), I don't think fan club = opportunity to meet idol. That should merely be a bonus.

[cHrIsTiNe]

Haa! Fayth, I dunno y but u always manage to tickle my funny bones. When u mentioned raises right fist into the air, I got this imagery that we r part of asome commuinst party. ;D Yes, fayth, my comrade ;D, I totally agree with u. Woah, u remembered what he has said. R u an AI? Haa.

[fAytH]

Chris, don't use abbreviations leh.. wat's AI? Artificially Intellgent? hahaha.. i only noe the movie, AI.. Artificial Intelligence..?

[lilian]

dun tell me it's AI for ahmad ibrahim sec..... i'll pengz.....
haha... u guys r toking real chim stuff here.. i do agree the bond is more impt too... afterall, to be realistic,we wun be able to know leehom personally. so why not try to know the ppl around u instead? i'm refering to fan members... haiz... i sound a bit weird cuz juz woken up.... mind still veri thick..

[cHrIsTiNe]

Sorry me too lazy to type the words. ;D Yeah, AI = Artificial Intelligence. Lilian, dun be so bhb, I'm not talking abt ur sch k. Hee. ;D

[Lou]

haha such a serious topic has turned light hearted..that is the way it should be we are all here browsing the sight for entertainment lar...
haha fayth you remember that we are united COMRADES in turning all people who are not enlightned to Lh music into his diehard fans hahaha
"add oil"
(raising my right fist and air and singing "if you heard my song"! ahaha )

Hi everyone,
it's really nice and great to read that u guys are trying to get OurHomeSG (LH fan club) going and getting the support from the record label and all. ;D
This is my take on a fan club- it should be a channel where everyone come together to exchange ideas and opinions bout something(music) that someone( Lee Hom) has done and that everyone really enjoy and apperciates and wanna share their tots and show apperciation.
I suppose to really get the fan club going, the commitee shouldn't jus concentrate on jus a small group of ppl but should reach out to the masses. dun jus keep the exciting stuffs to a few....the rest of us wanna share and if u can get all to join in the fun.....there really be a strong presence, cos u guys would be united...and the voices of all the ppl can be heard and this would get the record label and media co. to notice u guys and support ur activities.(I guess it sounds abstract)
And a Fan club should not also jus be about having a greater opportunity to met Lee Hom though I suppose that's wat everyone hope to be able to do. ...it should be bout discovery....exchanging ideas....sharing with others ur like for LH's music and influence them to apperciate it also.

well, I wish u guys luck on forming a great club~!
-all the way from UK... Andrina ;D

P/s: I really enjoy ur msg board, articles and website ....since there's lots of updated info and the topics that u guys post are really interesting

music.....it's a journey of discovery and enlightenment
