La letra en español:
Soy
Soy lo que soy.
Siempre me amaré como soy.
Felicidad. No hay una sola manera de ser feliz.
La bendición más grande es que para el Creador todos somos un honor.
No hay necesidad de esconderme, vivo por la vida que me gusta.
No hay necesidad de cubrirme, sólo me pongo bajo los reflectores.
Soy lo que soy, soy los fuegos artificiales de infinitos colores
El ininterminable cielo y el vasto océano, seré la espuma más potente
Me amo como soy. Una rosa que florece en donde quiere.
Incluso en un desierto remoto, florece en toda su desnudez.
Tengo el regocijo de vivir feliz en una casa de cristal
Y contarle al mundo lo que es ser honesto y transparente.

You make me cry 😢
流浪记
Just from this video alone, it’s clear that this man puts a lot of effort into his videos. Taking the extra step to listen to the original and even do research on the backstory of the song, as well as the writer. This channel deserves a whole lot more attention than it’s currently getting and that’s facts. Keep up the great work Andy!
You are a very beauty, pure and sensible man. I really enjoy your reactions, please never stop.
Me too
Today is Leslie Cheung’s death anniversary. Always great to revisit this video.
Swung by to re-watch this, and I will forever be moved to pain and joy by the lines "we are all the honor of the creator" and "I'm a firework of a different color." I wish you could see film of HuaHua singing this in concert. He cries at the end, and the audience starts crying at the beginning, knowing he's going to cry. Those of us who couldn't be there, watch from home and join right in. It's a tear fest.
Did you notice Hua Chenyu was dressed in a robe? Lesley Cheung dressed that way when he sang that song and that goes to show you the detail of Hua. The emotion emulating from Hua in this song is heart piercing. Beautiful performance!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hua only sings this song once a year at his Mars concerts. Thank you for your reaction it's so apparent that you love our HuaHua xoxox
Huahua is the best !!!
I really liked that you took the time to listen to the original before hand, and get to know a little of the story.
It is deeply tragic, Even though I knew nothing about Leslie at that time, I really feel the tragic loss.
But I feel that we get to know him some through Hua chen yu, there is og course a story there too.
He was Hua chen yus Idol, and he loves this song so much. He used to end his concert with this Song, very emotional.
And also, Hua is a master og rearanging songs, he gives song new life, he seeks to enhance the best part og songs, and adds his own elements where he sees for, but always keeping the core of the song. In his opinions most songs can allways been made better.
But with Leslie's songs it is diffrent, he only adds slight changes, he feels the songs are perfect as they are, and sees no reason to change them.
i can really agree with you...and all what you said... :)
Hua Hua is just one of a kind... i wish that finally much more find him and listen to him worldwide
🌸🌸华晨宇把張國榮這首歌演绎得淋漓尽致👍
Hua Hua loved Leslie. Unlike his other rearranged performances on Singer, he didn't change a single note of this song. He never changes Leslie's songs. Feeling a bit off the beaten path himself, he can relate to Leslie's struggles. He's not gay, but he is different from many people. It moves him so to sing this song, that it often makes him cry. Me too. You too. Great reaction.
I Love this reaction!! I Love this young man hia voice is great!! Thank you sweet Andy💟 you really are sweet and so sentimental man.
Leslie Cheung was such a kind person to all the ones around him. He was not just a great artist and performer but a generous gentleman. We all miss him in HK.
I feel noticed, cared, loved, and understood from his songs. It feels like, my heart was wounded, but he comes by and sit next to me and says, "hey, i know how that feels like. it's okay, i'm here with you, don't be afraid."
This is the one song that doesn't give you any other choice but cry.
Breathtaking rendition! And I am Puerto Rican. A beautiful voice is a beautiful voice!
Your reaction to Hua's performance is so touching and your comments so on point. Glad you did a back story on this song. It helps to appreciate and respect this song more when Hua performs it. He was paying tribute to Leslie one of his idol and one of his favorite song. It's so fitting for Hua too as he can relate to being a unique individual artist that he stands for. I also love how you emphasize his wonderful technical usage in his voice. It's one of the great things I think is taken for granted or not appreciated as much by many reactors.
Btw, when you have some spare time on your own or want to react to, check out his interviews on Eng Subs. Each one gives you different perspective of Hua and will love him even more as an artist, music philosophy, and respected, sweet, naive, childlike persona.
Chills that all I gotta say…chills
Hua Chenyu has said in an interview that Lesley Cheung's songs are the one composer whose songs need no changing. He'd only sing this song once a year as the final song of his Mars concert because it's so emotional for him. Can't you just picture him singing this in the corner of a dark piano bar? ❤❤❤
Leslie cheung
Oh beautiful song💖😍💖😍🙀
A beautiful song indeed, thanks for your reaction Andy! At the end of this episode, Hua said that he was still so moved from this performance when he got back to his room, he always sings this song beautifully at his concerts but here on Singer his performance is indeed stellar.
The real artist touch the heart and he touch your's. And you touch yours with all this reactions.
Hua Hua sang this song so well and so touching 😭😭😭❤
Gotta admit, I was crying with you xD This song is so beautiful and I’m glad you knew the backstory before going into it!
Me toooooooo!!!
Me too！Why am I crying,because you know what I'm thinking，and miss him！
Thank you so much for this reaction! 💕 For me, it's the best reaction I have ever seen for that performance.
I'm a huge fan of Leslie (and Hua Hua) and it's the first time I see a reactor making the effort to search who Leslie was and watching his own rendition of this song. By doing this, you can understand so much more about what this performance meant for Chinese people and for Hua Chenyu. And when you know the story behind this song, this song which is already very beautiful just by itself becomes something even much more special and much more touching.
Hua Chenyu too is a huge admirer of Leslie (he was HIS idol) and this song is his favorite Chinese song. And I understand him very well. Because the lyrics of this song are incredible and when you really understand them, it's one of the most powerful song. And obviously, as you were very moved, you understood very well what needed to be understood 💕.
I think every Martian who wants to understand Hua Chenyu better should search who Leslie was, because I think he really has a big influence on Hua. For example, I'm sure that if he wrote songs about depression it's linked with Leslie who committed suicide due to this disease.

As you can see by reading the name of my channel, I'm a Leslie Cheung fan from Brazil. 'I Am What I Am' is my favorite song and his performance during the Passion Tour in 2000 is so touching and tells a lot about him as a person and as an artist that I felt the need to look for a reaction.
Although your reaction is about Hua Chenyu's cover, I felt very happy that you took your time to read about Leslie and the meaning behind the lyrics. I appreciate this about you since you reacted to Elis Regina's 'Como Nossos Pais'. You had the translation with you during the reaction, and I think this was a very considerate thing to do. While other people say "oh I wish I knew what s/he is saying", you actually take your time to look into it and study about the singer and the lyrics. I admire your sensibility.
As for 'I Am What I Am', I was the first person to translate this song to Portuguese. I felt VERY honored to be able to do that. It's not just a song to me. It represents the whole process of accepting who you are. Leslie's evolution over the years is crystal clear. At the end of the 90s he was extremely proud of who he was, and he was willing to show this part of himself to everyone, even though he knew the media would love to use it against him. It's all about bravery. All about "letting the rose blossom undisguised even though it's in a lonely desert". I cry when watching his performance not because I feel sad, but because the lyrics make me feel proud.
I got emotional while watching your reaction because you clearly could feel the same. We feel honored to be able to understand the emotion behind some songs. Sometimes I feel sad for the ones who don't feel anything when listening to meaningful lyrics.
If you're interested, there's one performance that makes me very happy. It's his version of 'American Pie' by Don McLean in 2000. You can notice how he loved the stage, it was like his second home. 'American Pie' is the song that started his career in 1977. You'll feel happy just by watching his carefree performance in 2000. Thanks for your videos!
I'm revisiting all of Andy's reactions to HuaHua, and I so appreciated your taking the time to share this much information. It always adds to the appreciation of the lyrics to be aware of more of the background. Thank you for this. As a film buff, I was already a fan of Leslie's, but I wasn't really aware of his musical career until HuaHua did this song. I know more songs now, but this is still the centerpiece for me. You translated it into Portuguese???!!!!! Way to go! I'm every bit as impressed as I ought to be. Proud of you and happy for you to have had that honor. Blessings to you from Southern California, USA.
THE BEST TEACHER 💪💪👍👍
If that doesn't rip your heart strings out, you don't have a pulse. He is amazing!
Hua Chenyu is the only Chinese singer I loved. His voice can touch my soul.
Me2
one and only
Me too.
Me too 😍
hua mei me too!
I love you reactions, Mexico 🇲🇽
*your
No need to apologize for the tears. This performance has brought tears to most of our eye's. How can Hua Chenyu's emotional performance not affect just about anyone who watches it? He has said many times in past interviews that Leslie Chung is one of his idols and this song is his favorite song. He was still in his teens when Leslie Chung tragically took his own life but it was an event that to this day affects Hua Chenyu. This song became so important to Hua Hua that he doesn't sing it all that often in live performances. He reserves this song for special moments and generally sings it only once a year. I have watched the full episode of the Singer 2018 that Hua Hua performed this song in and what you don't see here is what happened after he walked off stage. He usually waited for the guy that was assigned to him by the show to be his assistant while on the show and then they would walk to the room where all of the other artists who had already performed gather. After walking off the stage in this case though, Hua Hua was still in a very emotional space that he went into to bring out that emotional performance. He did not wait for his assistant like he normally would but just started making the walk on his own. His shoulders were hunched forward and his head was looking down. His assistant had to run to catch up with him and when he caught up with Hua Hua he grabbed him from behind and gave him a hug. Hua Hua had been in such a deep place within himself that he did not realize that anyone was running up to him from behind and he was very startled when he was grabbed from behind. Being grabbed like that snapped him out of the mental state he was in though and he looked up and manged a smile but you could see the tears in his eyes. It was a very vulnerable and touching moment. BTW, I am also excited for the Singer 2020. It's a stroke of brilliance by the producers to bring Hua Hua back. They realize the world wide attention that he brought to their show by the clips here on TH-cam and it makes complete sense to have him back on it. For Hua Hua's part, he also recognizes how his popularity world wide has exploded after doing the 2018 season. While his world wide popularity may not be his number 1 priority, he is also a business man and he recognizes the positive affect that appearing on that show has had on his career.
You were so kind and emotional，thank you for your reaction.
Hua hua is amazing, love him!
He have control of the air and is great sound for us
He is remarkable isn't he? He sang this as his opening to his last Mars concert acapella for most of the song. It was stunning and I sat there in that stadium shaking with emotion. Thank you for sharing these performances with your views!
This song is sad. Only song to me more sad is dad im home by him. It deals with domestic abuse and will definitely make a person tear up.This is a beautiful piece. Thank you for having the best in depth knowledge of the songs and for your great reactions!!!
You have no idea😢, how much I appreciate you for really getting to know about Leslie Cheung before listening to this.
As a fan of both Leslie and Huahua, this song means a lot, and also is one of the saddest, most meaningful and symbolic Chinese songs out there.
哥哥, as we call Leslie in Chinese, struggled a lot in his life time, because of his sexuality and the overall stress and hate society put on him.
Like you mentioned, even with all these negative push backs, he still was able to become one of THE IT film star, superstar in East Asia at the time.
To me, this song really represented everything he was the best out of all his songs, in my humble opinion. And of course, this is a beautifully written song, both lyrics and music.
Great job again, keep up with the great reviews/reaction🌹!
you are such a kind person. thank you
Hua Chenyu is one of the most amazing artist I have ever heard and I would love to see him live. I would have to take a box of tissues of course.
Thanks for your sincere reaction with explaining the back story. You are just as amazing as Hua. Have a nice weekend ahead❤️
I am his fan. Hua Chenyu is indeed a very good singer, hoping to be seen around the world! Thank you for your sharing！
我是他的歌迷。华晨宇真的是一位很优秀的歌手，希望可以让全世界看到！谢谢你的分享！
In order to have heart touching performance, he first has to be touched. You can feel his full emotions even through the screen. ❤️🌹🌹
Chin Chin Jung
Only when he is singing, he steps into his own innermost world and bring out his emotions. He is usually level-headed, cool and calm when he speaks warmly. This is what I like, enter the spectrum of feelings in his songs. Where we draw out our love, hurts, unspoken words.
He have a brilliant voice!❤
Thank you for this reaction - truly a moving song and another amazing performance by Hua Hua. I totally agree with you about Singer. I have never seen a show like it.
你愛花爺我也愛花爺~~他的音樂/人品/專注~~時刻感動並影響我。謝謝你喜歡這個低調又優質的青年音樂人。
Never heard of you, Hua Chenyu, Leslie Cheung or this song, but I do know depression too damn well. Your sincere thoughts you share about this matter really touched me. Thank you.
Awww don’t cry 😭 I know how it feels, beautiful song thanks for sharing
Great reaction! Thanks! A am cry with you...
you have a pure soul. it was an excellent reaction.
The story of Leslie Cheung is really sad and Hua Chenyu really likes this song and respects Leslie Cheung. So much that he didn’t rearrange anything and kept the original. I think if HuaHua doesn’t rearrange a song it really means something (to him), because normally he would rearrange a song even if he likes it, making it his own. Thanks for reacting on HuaHua! ❤️
為我們花花感到驕傲💜
RESPECT.
.... he is so brillant!!!
Unlike others, you take the time to research which enriches the experiencing of listening. Thank you,.
I didn’t know his performance of this song until I bumped into your reaction here. Sometimes it is not easy for people to live the ways they want in this world. I can understand you in there. Keep up the good mood. You are a nice and kind guy :-)
Andy, you are my favorite reactor.... youre sensitivity really touch me. Have a good week-end my little Martian*s brother. Love you xoxoxoxo p.s. cant wait for your reaction for The Singer 2020
Beautiful. And you are amazing. 💖
I loved your reaction! Love that you care about background and context, react both emotional and observant at the technicals.. and yes, I also get very touched by this performance. Thank you!
One of my favorite from Hua Chenyu's performance, I really like to watch your reaction video. And thank your for research the back story for Leslie, he was also of my favorite singer and actor, the world miss him.
You make me cry.. This time not only because of Hua Hua. But because of you too Master of voice.
you made me cry too
A wonderful reaction! I too love them both so much! Deep respect!
your reaction so great... sincerely....... watched all of your reaction video... you must be a angle in real life too...love from China
You are the best Andy 👏🏻👏🏻. Your are so sweet, and so respectful with all the singers. I love your Chanel ☺️. Blessings Andy 🙏❤️
Beautiful song and so sad at the same time. 😭
Dear Andy, thanks for a wonderful reaction to Hua Hua. I cried with you, what a heartfelt performance..
I see you almost reach 100k subscribers. I was there in the beginning with you when starting Dimash. So well deserved Andy! Your channel is an absolute joy to watch and you the perfect host.
So thank you, greetings from Lydia, The Netherlands
I absolutely love how you prepare so much before any reaction! Love the video
This is why I love watching you Andy, barely discovered you a few days ago but I am addicted. There are not many reactors who are down to earth, speak from the heart and not afraid to emote like you. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. Comments like this help me keep things in better perspective. This is such an excellent performance of a great song.
I'm impressed with how you did extensive homework before you do the review. It's the hallmark of a good reactor. You are one of the very few reactors I subscribe to and will continue to follow. There are many great singers in Asia but I find Hua, Dimash and Sohyang are up there at the pinnacle. It's hard to supersede them in terms of vocal range, storytelling and performance.
I really like the way you analyze the videos, because your experience and knowledge of the subject does not prevent you from showing your emotions about it and that is greatly appreciated. Congratulations
Great reactions ...love huahua 👍
Andy, you make me cry! Love U!
Beautiful lyrics - Beautiful singing!!
I love that a beautiful voice can bring you to tears. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Kind of embarrassing watering up in front of the wife and kids:-)
Great reaction! and the song SO touches me. Thank you😊
Sending you a big hug Andy ❤️
Every single time I hear this song it makes cry and miss Gor Gor Leslie Cheung... Miss you much 哥哥!😭
🤩 you’re the best! The most beautiful reaction 🥺 saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Beautiful reaction
omg, I cried too.
the song, the message, the feelings, it's all
Yay!! Thank you I was waiting for this reaction!! Hua is amazing and I love this song ❤️
Thanks for another wonderful reaction Andy 👏
Bello corazón Andy. Dios te bendiga siempre... Love from Puerto Rico.
Besides honoring the late artist, this song is also incredibly personal to him. He first sang this song in the superboy contest 2013. He did gain a lot of fans, but also attracted many haters. There were a lot of people in China called him crazy or criticized him (even today) because he is unique and different. So the line” I am a firework just in a different color, but I am who I am” also speaks to him.
Despite the criticism, he would rather spend his energy in making the music. The song “I don’t care” is basically about the people cyber bullying him...I thought people should know his hard earning success..
You are a wonderful soul, Andy. Your sensitivity and passion for the singing voice is beautiful. I especially like your focus on international music. 👍
Thank you for your love
I tear up every time I hear this song......
So touching!
Andy! I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but Hua is competing in The Singer 2020! Let's all look forward to come amazing performances from all the talent on the show this year. Honestly there is so much talent this year, Hua Chenyu is my favorite but Zhou Shen is a countertenor force to be watched out for!!
Just realised you mentioned it numerous times in your reaction, sorry, I got excited
You are a such beautiful person, I love your reactions to all of these artists!
Muy emocionante!...GRACIAS, por tu gran trabajo. Sin ti, jamás hubiese escuchado a esta gran cantante. Una maravilla!!.
POR ESO EL ES UNICO ☁️🍃
HUA HUA ES PERFECTO CANTA CON TODA EL ALMA 🌸👽🛸🌸👽🛸🌸👽🛸🌸👽🛸🌸👽🛸🌸👽🛸🌸👽🛸
GRETTINGS FROM LATIN AMERICA🌎
EL SALVADOR 🇸🇻🔮💕🦄
You are so beautiful!!!! The singer Wonderfull!!!!
I appreciate that you're so keen and professional in music. You found the background of this song before reaction. Your dedication to work deserves respect. This song Hua really sang every word with his soul from the depth. The emotional is so real. Beautiful and touching. It's always one of my favorite song although I love all of his songs. Thank you for your great reaction.
I met Leslie Cheung twice，he is my idol forever💪
I like all your reactions. It is okay to be moved
Maestro, I really enjoy watching your reactions, thank you for taking the time to make them.
You're such a beautiful person. 🌟
Beautiful reaction!!
wow ,now i understand the tears in my eyes.
Thanks always for your preparation before reacting on the music. You are so thoughtful! This song is very touching.
Your tears are beautiful. Thank you for them)
Hey Andy, just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your honest and thoughtful reactions. You're doing it just right. Hence, even if I'm not going to fully watch a certain reaction, I always make sure to open them up and at least leave an upvote. I feel comfortable doing it, as every reaction I have watched (quite a few) was great and your quality is consistent. Keep it up and all the best!
