She is known for having a strong personality and has an image whereby she simply doesn’t care about what other people think, which makes her more likeable.
Her voice is strong and you can’t help but listen to her again and again.
Here is a little bit of gossip about Faye Wong. She has been divorced twice, her first husband was famous singer Wei Dou (窦唯 dòuwéi).
They had a daughter together who is named Leah Dou (窦靖童 Dòujìngtóng) who has also become a singer.
Faye Wong is well known for being honest and daring to just be herself. For example when a journalist once asked her how her divorce proceedings were going she just answered “It’s none of your business.”
Another example is when she was asked “What kind of father are you going to look for Leah?” She replied “Leah already has her father. What I am going to look for is my own life partner.”
When she was young, like a lot of young singers, she was known for drinking and smoking a lot.
However, now she has become vegetarian and follows Buddhist beliefs. There are a lot of tags used to describe her, ‘The Queen of Music’ is one of the best ones to describe her singing.
