Sammi Cheng Sau-Man was born in Hong Kong on August 19th,
1972. She got her start as a singer with Capitol Records, but it wasn't
until Sammi Cheng
signed with Warner Bros. Records in 1996 that her music career really
took off. Now Sammi Cheng is widely considered one of the Asian Queens
of Pop, and has numerous hit albums and concerts to her credit. Sammi Cheng offers you ultimate
musical comfort! How comes Sammi Cheng comes out
with a compiltaion cd so fast and with only a few new songs. i dont like
how the record company does this. back a long time ago Sammi Cheng was
coming out with hit after hit and i loved both her Cantonese and Mandarin
CDs. she really had good stuff and she used to sing with a lot of emotion
and passion. now it's like singing is just a task. cannot hear the strong
emotional vocals that bought her claim to fame. right now her CDs are
lackluster and is missing that special quality. In 1993, Sammi Cheung realized that in order to go from a top B-list artist to an A-list artist, she had to create a unique image for herself. At the time, another rising female artist, Faye Wong, had started a wild and crazy fashion trend in the music industry. Capitalizing on the attention she had been getting from her duet with a strict A-list artist Andy Hui, "Ðìãù?ãý×ëêóÙÒêóä²" (Do you really have me in your heart?), Sammi went through a complete 180-degree transformation; she dyed her hair orange, purposely 'westernized' her pronunciation of Chinese and successfully toned her physique. At that time, dying your hair was only popular among street gangsters and it was a 'taboo' for artists to try to look rebellious.[citation needed] Sammi then came out with her 4th studio album, "ï÷â³ÙþîÜöáäÅÚ»Ïà" (Sammi's Happy Maze), which included the hit single, "Chotto ÔõÔõ" (Chotto Matteo). Her new image fit perfectly with the new single, which was a remake of a very upbeat Japanese song by Maki Ohguro. The success helped Sammi boost her singing career to the brim of one worthy of an A-lister. In 1994, Sammi continued to capitalize on her wild, new image. Her first album of that year was "ÓÞÜÃÜÖ" (Big Revenge). The album included the mega hit "??" (Ding Dong), which became one of Sammi's all-time signature songs. But with her new fame also came a lot of backlash from the media. Critics pointed out that Sammi purposely "westernized" her Cantonese: instead of saying "Ding Dong", Sammi pronounced it as "Deen Dong".[citation needed] Despite the criticism, the song was one of most popular dance songs of that year. Throughout the rest of 1994, Sammi continued to release hit single after hit single, such as: Buhda Was A Taliban, Ten Commandments, Not Your Typical Love, Passion Island, Romeo and Juliet of Sarajevo, Amnesia and Bitter Love. The racy and controversial cut of Ten Commandments (which includes tiny bits of what can be recognized as a porn soundtrack) was banned from the radio a few days after its initial airplay.[citation needed] Of course, with prohibition came another level of attention and fame for Sammi. Her savvy way of handling the controversy and the media in the midst of that incident was arguably a confirmation to music industry insiders that Sammi was here to stay. And she continued to ride on her fame.... |
