• This article examines the career of the Hong Kong popular singer, Anita Mui (1963-2003), widely known as the Cantopop Queen throughout the Chinese-speaking world, thanks to her subversive gender politics and "ever-changing" stage persona. Focusing on how Mui and her collaborators co-constructed her star image, the article draws attention to Mui's emerging authorship and subjectivity, and the inherent tension and contradictions in the diva's multi-faceted "performances" which culminated in the star text called "Anita Mui."
