This is probably the most exciting news I have received in weeks! Apparently Live Nation, Madonna’s current recording label, is interested in expanding into Asia and has offered the ultimate Asian Diva Faye Wong a recording contract worth HKD100 Million (USD$13 Million). Ever since Faye released her last album “To Love” in 2001, she has retired into her domesticated life in Beijing. Her daily routine probably consists of screaming at her maid, singing karaoke and playing mahjong with her gal pals. “Fayenatics” around the world like me have been hoping that she would get tired of this lifestyle one day (but seriously, who would?) and come out to bedazzle us with another album. There is not a single female recording artist from Hong Kong, Taiwan or Mainland China that has proven worthy to replace Faye since her unofficial retirement seven years ago.
Faye’s manager, Katie Chan, told several papers that Faye would consider the offer more seriously if she didn’t have to do promotional work for her albums. Listen up people at Live Nation! Faye doesn’t need to promote her albums thanks to fans like me. I used to buy 10 copies of Faye’s CD whenever she released a new album and distributed them among my friends. I even gave a copy of her last album “To Love” to my cleaner and it ended up in her living room as a coaster. So with crazy fans like me, Faye would hit double platinum sales without doing any promotional work. So please take the offer, Faye. Please, please, pretty please?
EntertainmentHmm, it would be a huge for her to do a Live Nation event. Not just for her, but for all Asian music in general like Jekki said. LN is very good at promoting their events.
Andrew, let’s hope you have a lot of pull and Faye is reading this and taking your advice.
I was never really into Chinese stuff, but her wikipedia article makes her seem cool. I would watch this.
