Aww, I don't think he's bad. He's really good actually. His pronunciation when singing Cantonese is pretty decent. He just doesn't sound the same as he normally does in Mandarin, but he still sounds refreshing and of course, he has a beautiful voice regardless of the language sung.
heartdrops
Woah, loving the tracklist! Lots of very good classics! Loving the cover too. It looks really nice and simple.
He's going to cover 記得?!?! I can't imagine it LOL. Is he gonna change it so it's all R&Bish?
Katie3856
Wow!! Im so excited for his new album!! Khalil looks so charismatic! I'm anticipating for his cover version of A-Mei's Remember. biggrin.gif its going to be great!!

i really liked his cover of Red Bean <3 biggrin.gif
Tonyc402
Listening to his new album Timeless. He is such a versatile singer. Even though the songs are all covers , he does them justice for the most part.
jho
^Oh it's out already Tony!? I'm so excited. I heard 'Red Bean' and 'Nothing's gonna change my love for you', and both are amazing!

i just got the album too

i still don't think he should have done "bad"
the cantonese song is tooo slow and doesn't fit his style..he should just stick with eng and mandarin
that spanish song was so random lol..nice try but never again please...buts only my opinion

overall it was good cause his vocals are goood
Katie3856
Just listened to the album. biggrin.gif Great album! Loved every single song!
My favorite cover would definitely be Wonderful Tonight.
The arrangement of Remember (記得) was done amazingly!! Khalil made it into his own song!!
He should have done Tears in Heaven for this album.. He sings it so beautiful on variety shows and stuff. tongue.gif

Aznkc: I agree Bad didnt really fit in with the album but he did do the song justice.

Red Bean & Singalongsong Performance at the Metro Radio Mandarin Music Awards
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzcN6UsCKvE
Ahh acoustic! I love I love.


About Timeless, it's finally out YESSS!!
Hmm, am I the only one that thinks that Bad wasn't really that bad? I couldn't help but find myself tapping my feet to it. It gives the album a bit of more upbeat feel to it. But I kinda want to listen to Khalil cover Man in the Mirror hahas.

I also liked La Bamba lol.. Khalil's voice sounds so soothing in the beginning.

I think I do prefer Khalil's songs in Mandarin. It just sounds so much smoother lol.

Wow, very different feel for Ji De. It's one of my ultimate fav song ever and I'm glad Khalil remade it.

So far I'm really loving Nothings Gonna Change My Love For You, Red Bean, and Wonderful Tonight.

Wonderful Tonight was my favourite song too. <3

I love "Timeless", I think he covered all the songs fairly well.
!annaaA.
listening to his new album right now,
finally, a cantonese song ! although i can never understand canto when it's being sung(sang?) ahah |:
now i gotta scrounge around and see if i can find it download online x:

heartdrops; omgoshh he should so cover man in the mirror ! <3
heartdrops
^ Yeah, Man in the Mirror would be awesome eh? ^^
I can picture him singing it right now hahas.
AzN_cHiC89
Just finished listening to Timeless and I love Wonderful Tonight. I think he did a wonderful job of covering those songs!
flantastic
Waaahhhh I love khalil's songs so much >w<
He does such a good job with covers too~
lovechild.
I just listened to some of his timeless album t_t
and dear lord i think i had an eargasm listening to moon river

bad: i showed some of my friends and got mixed reviews, i think listening to this...you have to keep in mind khalil's style? it's not going to as intense as mj..if you're looking for a fast upbeat song then you'll hate it :x even though it doesn't fit with the rest of the album, the album is about HIS influences right? i loved the guitar intro

moon river: T_T i love this song so much...my cousin thought it was boring...but T_T i love these old love songs..especially audrey hepburn <3

Red Bean: WAS SO GOOD. it's on repeat right now...brings back so many memories, my mom use to replay this in the car. the mv is like..just perfect..i love the simplicity of it

la bamba: o_o his voice is frkn sexy in spanish

guang zhou: um yeah the song is a bit slow, but o-o i don't mind..cause i feel sentimentally attached to this song D:
i can't pinpoint where its from but yeah ;_____; i like

He definitely did the songs justice, I hate it when artists remake songs and..totally ruins it by changing too much? and approaching the remake..like too...haughtily..it kind of disrespects the original, but khalil made the classics something new without disrespecting the original ._. which is awesome

biggrin.gif and omg he has a book. I will go study chinese just to read it
sweetbluemoment
so i finally had the chance to check out khalil's new album and i have to say, i usually don't like covers of songs but i really did like some of his.

Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You - i think this is my personal favorite from the entire album. It's just relaxing to listen to.

Red Bean - ._. i just like the sound of it

Moon River - haha i'm probably the only one who's going to give this weird explanation for why i liked this song. This song was played on gilmore girls once (season five, wedding bell blues - to be exact), between my favorite pairing so, i automatically took a liking to the song, and since i like khalil's music and he did a cover of it: it's simply one of my favorites happy.gif

what a shame i can't read chinese, i'd really like to read his book sad.gif
sport3888
Oh same here! Really don't get why he couldn't have the book in english instead! Or release an english version =(

Jam and Khalil are so cute!!
I was watching some Taiwanese variety show on Youtube.. I forgot the name.. and I just watched it a few days ago.. well anyway, they were both the guest and Khalil said they became close friends because they both don't like to talk so they would just sit there and its like dead silence. Hahha

Edit:
I found it =]
Its called 王牌大明星 (Azio Superstar) and the date aired is 20090122.


Edit again!: Hahha
Khalil is the guest star for the newest episode of 王牌大明星 (Azio Superstar) 8-18-2009!!
Im watching it on Youtube right now!! Hehehe =P
sport3888
Thanks I just watched 王牌大明星 as well! Really like Khalil on these TW shows cause he gets to show off his skills play the guitar, piano, etc ^^

azngrlxp
I love his new song "Bad" and red bean those were the only one i liked from his new alblum.
AiMango

cookii
Awhh gosh
I love Khalil Fong to death ohmy.gif(L)
His songs are really beautiful and his lyrics too!
He's so cute and random too xD I've just seen the 'Soulboy...' series

Love him
Chloe.C
mhmhmhmhm.

huuugee khalilfong fan RIIIGHT here.

I just got his Timeless album today!! smile.gif I so wana post pics here, but ya.

Grrrr.....but yes i've always been wanting to kill myself for not going to khalil's concert here in vancouver! D: I always thought my mom would never let me go or smth, so i never tried asking....but yes. By the time I decided to ask for fun. IT WAS TOO LAATEEE.

BUT i'm SO glad that Khalil's autograph session wasn't like other lame ones (see how cool khalil is), where you can only get autographs if you have tickets. SOOO, I got autographed CD and picture with Khalil! biggrin.gif So yes, I guess that makes up for my khalildepression.

khalildepression - noun.
- chloe's depression for not going to his concert. : (
kpop_yo
this guy has an amazing, warm and soothing voice, im diggin' his english covers
lccyn
^hahaha Khalildepression. good one =)

i wanna get his timeless album...

I wish he could go on more shows though some hosts asked really stupid questions and delay time...
khalil ends up only few minutes of singing screen time.

Yeah, I agree!! Like the Kang Xi Lai le episode where he went to promote Timeless.. he only got a few minutes of screen time.. and when he tries to talk, the 2 hosts just talked over him. mad.gif
lccyn
i used to like kang xi alot but not now...
i think they should have focus more on artists albums...
and not just trying to focus on things that papers write....

i guess people still like 八卦 (rumours) betta then music.. which is SAD.
sharluvsenergy
I love his new album even though he made remakes of old classics. I think he did a good job with the album. My fav songs are You Are The Sunshine Of My Life, Red Bean, Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You And Wonderful Tonight. He gave those songs a new feel even though there were many other versions. And I like the idea of him giving respect to his idols who have given him inspirations on his road to becoming a singer-writer.smile.gif
Katie3856
lccyn: Yeah, it is really sad.. all the artists only sang 1 song!! >.< Wanted Khalil to sing a few more songs Heheh biggrin.gif

Man, Im so jealous of ppl in HK who got to go to his Timless Concert.. Aug 27th - 29th.. >.< I wish I was there =]

lccyn
I wish he come to singapore for concert...sure attend!


listening to his songs now, makes me feel so much at ease.. so soothing to ears... =)
Katie3856
Yeah, I'm seriously addicted to his voice. I listen to his music every single day laugh.gif
kmiowc
Khalil is so friggin cool!!..and to me he looks cute...and he's getting cuter and cuter (after he changed to black frame glasses) =]
He's pure talent..I loved Wonderland...

In his new album Timeless, he re-sings classical songs..he sings them like they're his own songs...
I am so in love with his "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You"

side note: he makes the cutest couple with Fiona Sit <3

Edit:
I agree! He didnt get enough screen time when he was promoting Timeless on Kang Xi Lai Le..he was so quiet..but he still impresssed...

Does anyone read Khalil's blog? I was on it today (for the first time ever)..and found it pretty interesting..and funny too...
He writes in complete (not to mention flawless) english...
Here are some funny moments:
i literally LOL'd at this
