Faye Wong 王菲 TOP 5 Songs on Spotify! | SP LIVESTREAMS

[@spiderhandspnz]

Sup Shredders! Thanks for watching this video 😀 I'll be back on 19th February with Jonathan Lee - Spiderhands Out!

[@wthmy9982]

try to review her alternative song..... i think its better than those pop songs

[@Jack-hy2ki]

She is the Queen of Cpop!!! Till date no one can replace her.

[@spiderhandspnz]

I see! Thanks, Jack!

[@timothytan3706]

The Diva ! No one, seriously no one till now in Asia has her ethereal vocal

[@shaolinpunkFTW]

Love Faye! Met her once in Singapore and got her to sign my CD. Lovely smile she gave me will never forget it :D

[@isonny2010]

Oh folks. She was famous even before 2000s. It is her Final Fantasy 8 song that made her internationally known at 1998

[@mengyingliao8024]

Really glad you reviewed her work, she’s my favorite singer of all time. Bit unfortunate thing is that most of her songs will deliver stronger if understands the lyrics, which lost in translation. Her lyrics are really poetic.

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thanks for the feedback! I get what you mean about the language barrier... I guess that's that icing on the cake for people who speak the language natively, eh?

[@Erican0719]

Faye wong really is my favourite singer of all time. Her voice is just a delicate masterpiece!

[@Hale-sz7ox]

She’s one of the most famous China divas actually.

[@spiderhandspnz]

I can understand why!

[@funwithrandom360]

Great job! I'm really looking forward to you doing a further review on Faye! The top 5 here (all ballads, as they tend to be more popular in Chinese/Cantopop) do not do justice to the diversity in her music. Hence I cannot resist taking the liberty to recommend some of these more "alternative" pieces that really showcase her musical agility and versatility: 1) 1996 album (Fu Zao) track 3 (Imagination) 2) 1996 album (Fu Zao) track 4 (Division) 3) 1998 album (Sing and Play) track 2 (Face) 4) 1999 album (Only Love Strangers) track 1 (The Last Blossom) 5) 2001 album (Faye Wong) track 8 (Idiot)

[@Fayenatic]

Yesss!!!! These top 5 do not reflect Faye at all . Great list. Bi an hua (track 5) Or any of the first five songs from the album Fable (2000) are a must. They reflect Faye's artistry very well

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thanks for the suggestions! I am keen to hear more of her music in future. We'll definitely do another livestream sometime.

[@samuelbjork]

I agree that these 5 songs do not do Faye justice at all, they are not even her top-tier songs in my opinion. Pls listen to the first five songs in Fable, it’s sort of a pentalogy, the five songs form a story, the music is not too poppy sounding (some people may need more time to digest it) but very artistic, layered and consistent. Or try “Eyes On Me” where she sings in English, another ballad though. Her albums from 1994 to 2000 are the best, especially those from 1998 - 2000.

[@Fayenatic]

@@samuelbjork yasssss except for the eyes on me part

[@bjno7972]

@@spiderhandspnz Faye wong also has the voice of a fallen angel that you may find surprised! She really has an interest in dream pop and alternative rock. For example, Her album Fuzao used a extremely rebellious way to convey some of those conservative ideas in Confucianism.

[@lazhang2351]

Thank you for the review Faye Wong. Faye is my favorite.

[@takeraha9001]

Usually I'm too lazy to login and be able to give a like. But yours is an exception. love Faye..

[@spiderhandspnz]

Hahaha cheers! Have a great day!

[@Daniel-vk6uc]

Great review! You have got the essence of Faye. Although Faye's songs are very popular and widely sung by common people. It is relatively rare to see covers from other famous singers. Because when they start to sing Faye's songs, comparing with original version people can easily find the weakness of that singer and see how far they are to perfect.

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thank you, Daniel. I appreciate the feedback! Yeah, I can imagine that these songs would be difficult to cover.

[@leechinkim]

I love faye since i was 10 years old. I am 35 now. She still is my love. She is the best singer for me.

[@linelaine5592]

all people who love faye Wong have great music taste!

[@spiderhandspnz]

Nice!

[@yaocw729]

Faye Wang is not only the top singer in Chinese, but legend.

[@biru6246]

Wow! Thanks for reviewing, she does change her style after 1994 to a more consciousness-oriented way rather than only focusing on skills. Looking forward to your next review on the next 5 songs. Also, I'd like to recommend Faye's album named “Sky", which shows her voice qualities to the fullest.

[@spiderhandspnz]

Hi Biru - yeah, it was a big shift, eh? I was blown away. But I like both sides of her style. Sure, we're probably going to review more of her songs, later in the year. Cheers, I am keen to listen to more music. Maybe a song from that Sky album will be on the next livestream?

[@biru6246]

@@spiderhandspnz Yeah, a big shift, but both are amazing, I love them too. And that song you mention named 'Chesspiece' or 'Pawn' (Qi Zi in Chinese) ranks in the top 10. Looking forward to that :)

[@Tokio2K2]

I'm Puerto Rican but I grew up being a big fan of hers and listening to all her music.

[@Tokio2K2]

Even watched her movie Chunking Express 🥰

[@deerbeau]

Fantastic taste, man!

[@gregli4520]

Faye Wong is a leader in both singing skills and ideas in Chinese society, I like every song of her, she is really super cool !!

[@spiderhandspnz]

Yeah, she's awesome! What a musician!

[@kenwang3397]

王菲（fei Wang）was one of the most important female singer that time，her music will never be overtime。

[@yinzhang5036]

王菲（faye wong）是一个很有个性的歌手，这种性格在中国歌手中很少很少。她年轻的时候因为性格吃过一些亏。这也成为那些喜欢她的人喜欢的点，不喜欢的人所诟病的点。但是，她的三观很好，我很喜欢她直来直去的性格。执迷不悔这首歌是她自己做词的歌，写的是她为了爱的人即使是执迷也并不后悔的态度。因为当时很多人对她和她前夫窦唯的婚姻并不看好，这首歌就是她表达自己态度的歌。

[@spiderhandspnz]

I'm glad that she was able to find her own way in the world, and be who she wants to be. Cheers for the info, fei wang!

[@MarshallLando]

my absolute queen. life goals: see her perform live once in my life. probably not gonna happen anymore :(

[@grinchguoz9824]

Thank you Spiderhands for the great review, as authentic as many Faye's music works. Appreciate how you were emotionally and even spiritually moved by her vocal and love how you naturally and sincerely carried out your feelings, in English, while listening songs written by Chinese. Another example how music cares no barriers of languages. Very impressive review! When the second round happen? Looking forward to!

[@yinzhang5036]

我之前在bilibili上推荐您评价王菲的歌，很遗憾您没有看到，不过今天算是如愿了，谢谢你蜘蛛手！

[@spiderhandspnz]

You're welcome! Glad that you enjoyed it :)

[@lezhen6957]

I noticed when you were reviewing the song No Regrets. The song you were listening to was the Cantonese version, the lyrics of which were written by Albert Leung (林夕), one of the most accomplished professional lyricists in Canto-pop. But the translation you read was translated from the Mandarin that’s written by Faye Wong herself. Faye recorded both versions in her album. It would be interesting if you could compare the two versions (the music is identical).

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thanks, Le Zhen - it would not surprise me if I missed that! I'm sorry for the mixup. I don't want to commit to doing a specific video on the differences between the two (hella busy at the moment) but PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I STUMBLE ACROSS IT DURING A LIVESTREAM! Thaaaaanks

[@andrewheng7051]

I am glad you do review of Faye Wong’s music. she is really the best of the best of Chinese pop music. She is the epitome; all these years have passed, no other pop singers, female or male, in China compare to her. A true legend. As some other commentators pointed out, the top 5 songs are more mainstream and public-favorite among her works. She has way more diversity of music genre to impress you. Looking forward to your review of her other alternative great songs. I just recommend one: Bi An Hua (彼岸花) from her 2000 album Fable. This album is also phenomenal. The first five songs in it are all classics.

[@spiderhandspnz]

Thanks Andrew! I'm glad that she has more out there - maybe we can review an album of hers sometime?

[@andrewheng7051]

@@spiderhandspnz definitely look forward to it!

[@IT-9]

I see that you really enjoyed listening to 執迷不悔 (Addiction Without Regret) This song was first released in her Cantonese album singing in two Cantonese and Mandarin tracks. Composed by a very talented Taiwanese, the song have another Mandarin version in her first album for the Taiwan market : kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3Wlo4N9j9Bjfbc I actually like the first ballad-like arrangement Thanks again for bring us back to the old 1990's HK!

wangfei is my favorite female singer,and the favorite male singer is zhoujielun！so thank you to review they

[@spiderhandspnz]

Do you think we should livestream zhoujielun?

[@yinzhang5036]

@@spiderhandspnz yes,of course。thank you！

[@xxy5757]

Ok tks for reviewing faye

[@Harry-ht5uo]

Glad more people are discovering her! Her discography is very inconsistent at times, since she is the most popular Chinese singer. However, the songs she writes and composed herself are usually the best. Heavily recommend the album 寓言’s first five songs, they are some of the best songs ever made

[@spiderhandspnz]

Cheers! Maybe we could do some fan requests for these songs?

[@nanowong]

I love most of her 90s and 2000s songs, especially most of the Cantonese songs

[@秦思远-l4l]

I believe we all had almost the same feeling when we listened to "Blinded without Regrets": a warm electric current mixed with body-like comfort and goosebumps shivering - it's the ultimate enjoyment in the world, I feeling lucky to have someone feel the same way. It has an inexplicable magic that seems to go beyond music theory or trend analysis, it seems to be natural and unartificial. The first time I listened to "Blinded without Regrets" was when I was 5 years old in my father's car and went on a family outing. Maybe it was a natural fate. At that time, I remembered this charming melody, and I love it to this day. In other words, this song was part of what shaped my upbringing, it was one of the pillars that I went through under all the emotions.

[@秦思远-l4l]

Faye Wong is a Buddhist - she has a lot of Buddhist songs, and I believe it is because of this that this calmness and peace of mind is revealed in all of her songs. After studying in America in 1991, Faye Wong was influenced by many musicians such as bjork, kate bush, cocteau twins, the cranberries, etc. For example, the pronunciation technique of track 4 "Dying Inside" in the cranberries' album Wake Up And Smell The Coffee is very similar to that of Faye Wong; in the album Milk & Kisses track 11 "Serpentskirt" is a collaboration between Faye Wong and cocteau twins, and the lyrics "Love you" "as the only low point, the part bears the nostalgic hometown in the whole dream. Although the development of Chinese music is very short-lived and immature, there are not many musicians who can be named even in fantasy pop and trip hop. But Faye Wong is probably the closest to the top among them.

[@秦思远-l4l]

The suggestion commented by WL Lee above is great, Faye Wong can't sort by the number of plays, she is a singer who deserves to comb through all the albums. "寓言" and "浮躁" are albums not to be missed. On the basis of his, I just add two more suggestions: 1) 1996 album (浮躁) track 9 (末日) 2) 1997 album (王菲) track 2 (你快乐所以我快乐)

[@秦思远-l4l]

In addition, I would also like to recommend the album "冀西南林路行" to be released by 万能青年旅店 in 2020. I believe that a lot of chinese fans have already recommended this prog-rock band to you. They have reached the pinnacle of China's new era rock in ten years with only two albums, if you also prefer prog-rock then a lot of them are rich and complex The instrumental arrangement will not disappoint you, and they have also borrowed a lot from King crimson. I really hope you can evaluate the whole album, because it is a continuous concept album like "the dark side of the moon" , and I haven't found a very professional musical evaluation and reaction in youtube or bilibili. I'm really looking forward to a live stream or video about this album, I love your music reviews from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your continued efforts!

[@秦思远-l4l]

sry its dream-pop not fantasy pop, i use google translate

[@spiderhandspnz]

I'm so glad to hear that this music means so much to you! I'm glad to hear that she's got that peace of mind, within these songs. I can hear the Cranberries influences. Faye Wong is so cool, dude. Thanks, we could always check out these songs in a fan request livestream? Thanks for chatting :)

[@VVweiways]

To be honest these are just "popular" , 3 of these songs she was invited to sing for a movie which means she does not participate in any song/lyrics writing, and another one is from a period she detests(she was using different name back then, and she had to change into her own name to make her own music). Really recommend her albums from 1996 to 2003. Since 2003 she has never released another album of her own. Highly recommend to check it out! And thank you so much for the video

As a hardcore Faye fans, these top 5 popular songs sung by Faye were probably not my favourites. I love her music in a more "alternative" way. Prefer her music in dream pop, trip hop and rock'n' roll style.
