Faye Wong (Chinese: 王菲; pinyin: Wáng Fēi) (born August 8, 1969 in Beijing) is a Chinese singer, songwriter, actress and model. She is an icon popular in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and to some extent in the West.

One of the most distinguished female vocalists in recent Chinese music history, her fan base has grown so large and devoted that media in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China often place the title tiānhòu (天后, literally Heavenly Queen) before her name, while Japanese fans call her "Diva of Asia". An intensely private artiste, she is one of the very few singers widely popular on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, despite her apparent nonchalance toward the media.

According to Guinness World Records, Faye Wong had sold 9.7 million copies of her albums as of March 2000, giving her the title of Best Selling Canto-Pop Female.

She has acted in several TV shows and films, most memorably in Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express, a role that won her "Best Actress" award at the 1994 Stockholm International Film Festival, and in 2046. She is known to many Final Fantasy fans for her Final Fantasy VIII theme "Eyes On Me", and has also been the spokeswoman of brands such as Head & Shoulders shampoo and Pepsi-Cola. Faye Wong has also graced the covers of Vogue Taiwan, Elle and Marie Claire Hong Kong, and has had spreads in Japanese Elle and other major Asian Fashion magazines.

So I did a search and it turns out there is no official Faye Wong thread. And considering how much of an influential artist she is, I figured making a thread for her might be a good idea. Hopefully I'm not the only fan here. I'm sure most people have only heard Eyes On Me though. But anyways, here are my favorites of hers:

Albums:
1. Fable
2. Faye Wong (2001)
3. To Love
4. Love Only Strangers
5. Scenic Tour

Songs:
1. 光之翼
2. Eyes On Me
3. 再见萤火虫 (萤火虫)
4. 開到荼蘼
5. 半途而廢

So does anyone else like her?
