Hi Lijie,
Your voice is so amazing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
hello lijie,
I frist see your page,very happy.we will remenber your music forever.
Hello Lijie,
You probably don't remember me but i've met you at the canvas gallery once. Love your voice. Anyways, have fun in China!
hi
Hi Lijie,
I'm glad you are having fun in Beijing. I need to travel soon. I saw the pics from that nite in Santa Monica haa haa that was great I like the Pope. Take care have tons of fun and come back home safe.
YOU ARE GREAT!
Greetings from Europe/Austria!
You are amazing!
Aww, it was so nice to finally meet you and chat with you today in Palo Alto after seeing you a couple times now! I still cannot get enough of your performances or your album as well (which is why I had to buy a second one for my bf). Anyways, good luck in China and hopefully I'll be seeing you again soon when you're back in the Bay Area.
Much love,
V.J.
P.S. I was singing along the whole time during your show (you just didn't see me until you sang "Lately" at the end) :-P
Wow! How I love Pandora, it popped you up in my Missy Higgins selection. From Melbourne, Australia, perhaps it's understandable that I had never heard, or heard of, you. From having Pandora playing on the background when you came on my reacton reminded me of the first time I heard Eva Cassidy on the radio - just took my breath away!
Looking forward to hearing you much more and, fingers crossed, hearing you live down under some time. :)
Lijie! oh how i love you! i can't wait for the next time I get to see you perform live...either down in soCal or at the gelateria :) take care and much love and success to you!
hey lady !
thanx so much for your request on the myspace-site. i'm working all the time and don't have a chance to search the net for new music, influences and honest musicians.
your voice is filling this little gap in my cd- rack and i hope you're doing good out there and everything works out the way you love it.
music is power

Saw you at the Gelateria today. Studied there until 6 to hear you perform...it was worth the wait. Hope you know that amidst the rowdiness of students engrossed with their studies, you had fans there just for you and nothing else.. Oh and thanks for signing my cd! My japanese friend will love it. =) Have fun in China.
Hi!
I love "Roam". I'm from Madrid (Spain), and I would like to listen to you here so.... good luck and my best wishes!!

Hi Lijie,
I just wanna let you know that your music is so fantastic. It's really wonderful and I can't stop listening it. I hope to see you once in the Netherlands on stage. So if you've plans to come to the Netherlands, please let me know and I'll be there.

I was at Twiggs on Monday night and saw your flyer in the window and took a picture of it so I can visit your website once I got home. I marked my calendar to go to your concert but... I couldn't go. I was going to ask you for your phone number, you look so cute in the flyer. : )
But, from your journal, you might be living in LA now. If you're ever in San Diego again.... let me know.

Hi Lijie,
It was nice talking to you in front of Twiggs at Tuesday' nite, and I am hoping to see you at that coming Thursday's nite. Good luck to you, love James. See you!
Ok i just had to write to you again.Your journal was interesting i liked how you just laid it down in your own words.Very refreshing to here your thoughts from your heart and not worrying on what others think. Your love of life shows in your songs and thoughts again very inspiring. And yes i think you are very very cute and your voice WOW you make my heart feel joyful for lack of a better word.I could listen to you all day and want more.Your inspiration is awesome my dear.I will tell anyone who will listen to buy your cd.Thank you so much for being an artist with your music. i know you say you cant draw but you do it with your music so very well and thank you once again for your music.
Wow very good music. I bought your cd at borders in arcadia and like i said your going places. I will tell everyone who will listen to buy your cd i am impressed very much. The last person i was impressed with was ronnie benise who like you has a great future.His site is benise.com if you care to check it out. You are a great artist and i love your music.Thank you so much for signing my cd .Keep the dream alive dear you have what it takes.Yours truly Mark a
Songer
You are beautiful.
Stumbled across your site some how, glad i did.
Fantastic :D
I came across Roam on Pandora.com, they matched your music to another artist named Fiest (you should look her music up). After hearing the other songs I'm excited to get your CD ordered and up to the cottage for some relaxing dock music this summer.

You have to get "Make Believe" on your myspace. I love that song.
So when you going to play in Portland and what do I have to search to find your myspace??
simply beautiful. thank you :)
can't wait to see you live in L.A. :)
Hey, thanks for the friend request on myspace. Otherwise, I would have had to wait for you to become big to be blessed by your music--not that that should take too long anyway. Your music is beautiful, and you should definitely come to the East Coast soon. Namely, Philadelphia. Soon. Please. Haha best of luck to you!
my friend told me to listen to you on myspace...and i must say, i am SO IMPRESSED. you are so great and i'm confident that you have what it takes to go far. I LOVE YOUR VOICE! and your songs are so beautiful and soothing to listen to! keep up the amazing work! and visit USB more often!
Bless you, Lijie! I saw you and I've heard your songs at San Francisco Borders in 19th ave., and it's mesmerizing me as I have your CD sampler. Then later, I have a lot of songs downloaded from iTunes and I enjoyed listening ever since while I'm driving or relaxing while I study. And also, you made me pleased. Your voice is haunting and sensual, the sounds of piano and guitar and even your lyrics including 'Blue' and 'Roam'-2 or 3 times...(sigh!) breathless! Thank you very very very much and keep working! Good luck and I wish I could see your peformance soon...tee-hee!
By the way, love your website=D!
Omg...how I love your album...I saw you at the Lower Sproul show last Friday (I was that guy sitting atop the planter to your left) and I'm just completely amazed! I wish I could see you at Naia tonight but I think I may be busy, however I'll try to stop by. I hope big things come your way cuz you deserve it!
-Veej
I thought I heard Michelle Branch on campus today! You were really impressive. I bought one of your CDs and it's amazing. Good luck!
I heard you at UCB today too! Your voice is so full of emotion and I really enjoyed listening. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see you perform again!
You performed on the UC Berkeley campus today. You stopped me dead in my tracks with your amazing vocals when I passed by and I immediately bought your album thereafter. Your voice is amazingly beautiful, don't stop! Best wishes!
Hey there Japanese-y cartoon looking girl, though I didn't buy the CD =/ I really enjoyed the performance at Borders (1st & 3rd song was good). After listening to the 1 minute clip of "So High" after 25 times, it totally sounds like something they would play on mainstream radio. Good luck!
Picked up your CD at Tower Records in SF, and took a listen. Bought it just on the strength of your vocals and music, then was pleasantly surprised to find out you were a fellow American-Chinese; not that this is a big deal, but there are very few mainstream and successful music artists of Asian descent.
Hope you become one of the first really big ones. Seems to me you're on the right track.
Best of luck.
I discovered your songs through pandora today. Can't wait to listen to more. Have to get my hands on the CD.. love your voice.
I just heard your song "roam" by accident and I have to say I love it! What a great song!
You really have a beautiful voice and so is this song...
Maybe you perform in Austria one day :-)
Greets from Vienna, Julia
You REALLY REALLY ROCK!!! Good Luck and God Bless on your carreer!!
you have an amazing voice. i was pruning through the bands on my myspace friends list and you were the only one whose music i listened completely all the way through... and replayed over and over! have you ever played in New York? this city would love you. i definitely have to get my hands on your cd.
Linda,
It was wonderful to see you!!! I am so proud of you! Listening to your music took my breath away, I felt like I was able to relate to you even though we have lost touch, it felt like we were re-connected as we were when we were kids. I remember your last song, I always thought you would make that one your trademark when we were younger. Congratulations!! I'm so proud of you. I will be looking out for your future albums.
Best of luck and don't lose touch.
Oiiiiiii !!!!
GREATTTTTTTT !!! ... I just heard the songs in here ... Love them ... Congratulations !!! ...
Good luck !!!!!!!!!!!
Bye ... Your carioca friend ...
Roam is beautiful.... and so is your voice! Come to Singapore some day to perform... =) Found myself drifting in memories whilst listening to that lovely song "Roam". The lyrics really touch a chord as with the music. Am a Chinese and whilst I know race does not play apart in talents, I still must say that II am so proud and amazed that you can hold your own against all those other singers out there. Round of applause. May your career take flight the way your song has in our hearts over here!
I just heard your music (Roam) for the first time on http://www.pandora.com. Loving it! It was one of those songs that only 30 seconds into it I already knew I just had to go out and purchase.
Hi! I'm going to see you tonight at Hotel Utah but I thought I'll check out your site. Love your voice..truly! and your music too. I am sooo glad you are local because that means I can get to see you perform many times..which is great!
Hello,
I just wanted to start by saying that you're a beautiful writer! Having just discovered your music... I can honestly say that I'm rather angry with myself for not hearing of you before!I can't wait to hear more and more of you (I've already made some new song friends!).
Good luck with all your writing....and come to Canada soon!
Hey, Lijie!!! Happy New Year. Hope all your musical dreams come true in 2006. I enjoy your CD very much. It helped me hold it together while over in Fallujah last year. Listening to your voice reminded me that beauty still exists in this world. I miss the days when I could walk into a Los Angeles coffee house and watch one of your gigs. Hope you get a gig in Austin sometime (and, hopefully, it's before you're so famous I have to pay $80 to see it ;-) Best wishes.
wow amazing!!! what i learned right here and now is something i wanna learn more about...yeahs just in a second i fell in love with that voice...sorry if i used the word "love" but yeahs i really...really do, gosh i wish i have a copy of "ROAM" cause it'll be playing all night even if i passed asleep...but i wanna thank you for your great gift that you shared with so many...you'll have my support and hopefully there will certainly another album out with your name on it...take cares and keep on doing what you love to do...peace -u vang
A friend gave me ROAM CD. Your music has a gentle poetic lilt. It touches the heart without trying. May the road ahead lead you to opportunities to share your very special gift w/ many other people. Looking forward to catching a live performance.
Thanks for the beautiful music! Thanks for the add on MYSPACE now i know who you are! yay! You should put some lyrics up! but your voice is so.. awesome!
Lijie we loved your performance at Borders in Redmond last month!!!!! (I listen to your CD all of the time...I have had friends put in requests for your music already). We look forward to seeing you again soon!
I saw your San Francisco performance at the Canvas Gallery, and I was thoroughly amazed. How such a smooth, powerful voice can come out of that petite, innocent face was mesmerizing...and now you're constantly playing on my nano...
hey lijie nice site, I am one very lucky who had also the priviledge seeing you playing your piano, performing your songs which your voice ( Barbaro!) is what I like the most, sounds good to me. you'll see me again with my band quite very soon one of these days, by the way hope you liked the tape. thank you. bye
You're music is very inspiring. I've never heard such a beautiful voice in my life.
I hope you acheive your dreams,
Nancy
Thanks for stopping by Federal Way...of all places! As cliche as it is, I'm inspired to see some one not just dreaming, but living out her dream. Would love to chat with you and hear more about what you went through to get there. Take care.
hey, just saw you perform at Borders in Federal Way and just want to say thank u for the great songs and performance. =) Keep singing and let the world hear your voice, your talent, and your soul as you continue to write songs and inspire people. Good luck. God bless. Hope to see you perform more in Federal Way. =)
Came across your site because I was trying to find out more about the person in this video file I have that is playing Paganini's Caprice No24. Don't know if it is you or not... but either way I'm glad I found your site! I'm absolutely floored by the sample music you have here. Fantastic stuff! Best wishes to you and your music
hi lijie
I love your song very much .your music is beautiful. I have your CD by my side. I really enjoy it. I really hope you come to China next year. That will be great to watch you singing in BeiJing!
love
Your uncle
Been a LONG time! Worked across the hall in SF on Van Ness. Promise I'll make it back to SF to see a performance. Hope you are doing well and still have that positive attitude....
Lee-jay
Your best performance Ive seen yet was at the Berkeley showing. I am really amazed by how far you have come. I always loved your voice. You have the heart and talent to boot.
On another note...remember that we have a deal, right? We pinky swore so you cannot back out. You are awesome and I believe in you. Check you later.....
We all loved your performance. I've been passing your cd around to friends. Its wonderful.

Hey Lijie,
LOVE your music! And I loved that you recommended one of my favorite books (The Dim Sum of All Things) when you performed at Borders! See you Fri.
I went into Borders at Stonestown and was hit by your amazing voice! So pretty too! =D
Loved your performance at Borders at Stonestown. I was sorry I had to leave before you finished. Looking forward to your next performance!
Totally captured by your beautiful voice when I stepped in Borders at Stones Town.
Love your music, it makes me think of those good old 80's England Romantic bands.
My husband, Leonard, and daughter, Sophia, and I really enjoyed hearing you play today at Borders. I'm glad that Sophia decided to calm down and we were able to come back and listen. Just think what we would've missed! We'll visit your web page to keep up to date on your latest show dates. Thanks for a delightful afternoon of music.
I was listening to the album today and wondered how you were doing. I'm glad you have some shows coming up. Hopefully I'll get to hear the new songs soon... -j
Glad to see your new site up and running! Love it. Hope to come check out a show of yours soon.
-TJ from The Mundaze
yay! i love every little tiny bit of this website and your music and you....i am always with you on this journey...love u, larin
I discovered you by "accident" on the web. Your songs are beautiful. Do you ever do any shows in Southern California? I live in San Diego and would love to see you live.
I am your dad's friend, I am so proud of you! I have two daughters, I told them they have the freedom to pursuethe dreams of their lives. Your farther and I are the same generation, we never had chances or choices to pursue our dreams when we were at your age. Therefore, I wish all the Chinese parents will give their kids the opportunity to pursue their dreams, they should not have/push their kids go the way they wanted or make their kid to fullfill their dreams. Money and fame are important but not as important as the happiness inside of you. You are the "1", and the money and success are the "0"s follow that "1". If "1" is not happy, all the "0"s follow that "1" are meaningless. Congratulations again! Continue pursuing your dream, I have a lot of confidence in you. Trust me, you will be very successful one day because you have the heart and the talent.
Way to go, Lijie! Proud of you!
Sorry about the grammatical error, typed too fast. Meant to say looking 'forward' to seeing you perfom. Anyway, keep up the great work. Peace
Hi Lijie, Looking seeing you perform when you come back to NYC! Just bought a copy of the cd, can't wait to hear the rest of it, i really liked the demo you gave me. Still working here at the hostel. Everything is great, see you soon.
I love all of your songs . Your voice is very beautiful. best wish to your dream.
got a copy of your demo cd on my way out of the rachel yamagata show at the amoeba. thanks for the copy. i enjoy listening to "so high". may i have the chords to the song? good luck with your music.
Great to hear you are doing so well Lijie... you deserve all the opportunities that come your way. By the way, who does your website?
Just purchased a cd... I think your music (from the samples I've heard) is incredible. I look forward to receiving it :)
Hey! Long time no talk! Glad to hear you're doing so well! Rusty and I are gonna try to come up to the city on Monday to see you sing. And I'll be in NYC the first week of September, will you still be performing there? Btw, you should check out Cafe Wha? (corner of McDougal and Bleeker) while you're there. Saturday's they have a great house band that you'd love...
Anyway, congrats on everything and good luck!!
-Meghan
Love your song "So High," you have an amazing voice. Thanks for giving me the chance to listen to you...good luck with your aspirations!
I just received your demo CD on Sunday at Summerthing and I have not stopped listening to it since! Your voice is amazing and your music is equally impressive - hope to make it up to the city on Thursday to see you live.
Much luck to you on your endeavor to fulfill your musical dreams!
I haven't had a chance to see you live, but I am totally impressed by your demo cd. Everyone I have shared it with thinks you have a beautiful voice too. Hope to see it live soon. Good luck on your musical journey.
Nice show on Sunday at Canvas.
Your voice reminded me of Amie Mann and Over the Rhine's Karin.
Best of luck!
P.S. Would've been nicer if I could hear your lyrics more clearly :")
First impressions are the lasting ones. My first visit at Canvas and I was surprised that I was there for such a wonderful live performance by you and your friend Emilio today.
Your songwriting capabilities, vocals, and your knowledge with the guitar and the piano are wonderful and I can't wait for your next performance, let alone your next album to come out.
Good luck with all your endeavors to realizing that dream.
Just saw your gig today, I really like your songs, your guitar playing, and your voice. I like how you played those cover songs too, they sounded very original.
And btw I also like Jewel and Sarah Mclachlan =)
I saw your show at the Gallery on Sun May 22nd, and I think you are wonderful.
One comment... I would like to have heard your vocals louder.
I will bring friends to your next show. Thank you.
David
Just saw your gig at Canvas today. I just wanna say my friends and I were impressed, very impressed. Good luck pursuing your 'dream'. Looking forward to seeing your next gig ... =)
