Ah yue always strike me as someone who's good at ballad or touching songs. Surprised? Many will be influenced by his other noisy, loud and lyrically-offending songs but he has lots of slow tunes which melt hearts. Yup, many tend to remember his catchy 爱的初体验 (若你是我的洗发水。。。) or 分手吧 or the song tat catapulted Li, Xin-Jie back to singing, 自由 (zhi you), the offensive 放屁 (Fang Pi - Fart),我要钱 (Wo Yao Qian - I Want Money) or Free Night or 干妹妹 (Gan Mei Mei - God Sister), or the 18-SX ones in 0204 but his real captivating songs to me are always the slow numbers. His voice sounds quite sad but not too-over-the-top kinda feel, suits me well. His early works such as 秘密 (Mi Mi - Secret), 勇气 (Yong Qi - Bravery), 在凌晨 (Zai Ling Chen - Dawn), 爱我别走 (Ai Wo Bie Zou - Love Me Dun Go), 我会想念你 (Wo Hui Xiang Nian Ni - I Will Think of You) are some of my favourites and testaments to his versatility in his music talent.
He wrote many songs for other singers as well. Most of them were well received though many didn't realize it's actually composed by him. 我给的爱 (Wo Gei De Ai - The Love I Gave) by 杨乃文 (Yang Nai Wen - Faith Yang) and Let Go by Sandy Lam 林忆莲 are my favourites.

I agree. Ah Yue is brilliant at slow songs. Xiao Yu is one of the most loveliest songs I've heard. His lyrics can be poetic or straight forward, but one can always see the truth in them. I think that's one of the best qualities of Ah Yue--he reflects his feelings without exaggerating things.
