Sammi Cheng Sau Man

Similar to "Heavenly King", Aaron Kwok, Sammi Cheng's career started with Capital Artists and later with Warner Music.
The lack of fast, upbeat songs by female singers in the early to mid-90's gave Sammi Cheng a chance to stardom, and she very well took advantage with some great dance hits, including "Lost Memory" and "Ding Dong". Sammi did just as well with romantic songs, with hits like "The Saddest Person", and the karaoke-favorite, "Somalia's Romeo And Juliet".

A contractual dispute led to Sammi's departure from Capital to Warner, where she then had her first chance to break into the huge mandarin market. Her first mandarin album, "Worthwhile", was an instant success, selling more than 300,000 copies in Taiwan alone.

Despite a talented group of new female singers emerging in Hong Kong, Sammi Cheng continues to stay at the top.

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 was nominated for Best New Artist at that year's Hong Kong Film Awards. In 1996, her acting career got another boost with the release of the hit film Feel 100%, a Generation X romantic comedy which was based on a popular comic book.
In 2000, Sammi Cheng collaborated with director Johnnie To and popular actor/singer Andy Lau on Needing You..., a romantic comedy which went to to become the highest-grossing Hong Kong film of the year. In 2001, Sammi Cheng was nominated for Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards for three separate performances, a feat which has only been accomplished by two other Hong Kong actors (Chow Yun-Fat and Anthony Wong). Sammi Cheng was given a Best Actress award by the Hong Kong Film Critics Society for her work in Wu Yen (2001).

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.
People Who Like Real Music This Is The Album You Must Get. This person is a talented person, even tho you don't understand madarin you still can feel the emotions. Sammi Cheng gives a great perfomance in slow songs. she don't just do slow emotional songs, she haves dance songs too. this cd comes with all the best dance songs she has in madarin, she sings realli good melodies in the fast songs and plus she can use a stronger styletype of voice in some of these songs to show she's doing a great job. but i must amit that her madrin isn't that good but she still sang in beautifuly.

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....
