Her voice and singing really are nothing compared to Liz's (in my opinion, anyway). But she really does have such a pretty and clear voice with a dreamlike quality to it ^_^
Marvellous. I had not heard of Faye Wong and was amazed to find this version of a Cocteau Twins song. She has both an excellent voice, and excellent taste in music !
anita mui is the pop queen?lol. even if it's true, she's only the queen of a little city. but faye wong, the only female artist who's the queen of the entire chinese world after teresa teng. by the way, faye wong the fashion icon will be on the cover of elle's september issue, again! and how many covers was the so-called pop queen anita mui on? none? haha! faye wong is not just a singer, but also a songwritter and a cultural symbol.

This cover is *very* close to the orginal...her voice sounds strikingly similar, even in a completely different language. Pretty good...but a little too close to the original...
@zindi1138 i didn't say it's bad! she sings amazingly... but I prefer Cocteau Twin's original version... I don't like unoriginal singers who make too many covers (in this case it's not a cover, it's the same thing in another language!)... it's only my opinion... if you like her, good for you... :)
The chords and music progression is exactly like the original. Yet there is something hauntingly beautiful when sung in Mandarin that conveys the same feeling as the original recording...Than you for posting it.
