Singer Nhu Quynh's appearance and voice once caused controversy. But unlike usual cases, the controversy arose because the audience loved her so much.

Nhu Quynh's real name is Le Lam Quynh Nhu, a representative of the golden generation of golden music alongside Truong Vu, Manh Quynh, Manh Dinh, Phi Nhung...
She has been living and performing at the Ho Chi Minh City Children's House since she was a child, and also taught dancing and singing to children there.
After winning the Special Prize with a perfect score at the Ho Chi Minh City Television Singing Contest in 1991, Nhu Quynh worked for a short time in Vietnam and then immigrated to the US in 1993.
Unlike many of her colleagues, she became famous almost immediately after her first product - Winter Lover . According to many people in the profession and show producers, this is not difficult to understand for someone with outstanding beauty like Nhu Quynh.
The overseas music scene is not lacking in beautiful female singers, but Như Quỳnh's beauty is almost unsurpassed. It is a proud, elegant beauty, but shy, fragile and pure, not creating a feeling of "high and mighty". Her image associated with the ao dai and her shoulder-length hair reminds us of the beauty of traditional Vietnamese women, creating even greater sympathy.
Regarding her voice, Nhu Quynh has a beautiful timbre; a thick, strong breath column, a steady singing force; a melodious, sometimes coquettish singing style with a "perfectly round" pronunciation of each word as well as a characteristic way of emitting words, pausing, and resting. It can be said that there are not many female singers with such a complete voice and beauty.

After "Winter Lover" , the songs "Sim Flower Story", "The Leaves Have Changed Yet", "White Flower Love Story "... brought her to the position of a top overseas star. "Purple Flowers of the Past", "The Virgin Thi's Love Story", "The Trip to the Morning" , "Half a Moon"... are also songs "nailed" by the name Nhu Quynh.
After 2010, the singer had two more impressive milestones: the "national" hit " Duyen Phan" and the cover " Why are you sad, my dear?"
At her peak, it is not too much to say that Nhu Quynh was a symbol of the golden music genre. Her image and style also deeply influenced many generations of singers at home and abroad, for example, singer To My.

Audience still loves Nhu Quynh
In 2015, Nhu Quynh returned to Vietnam after many years of absence, causing a huge debate. The audience discussed her appearance at the age of 45, most of which were rude and derogatory comments. Many news sites even suspected that she had botox injections and plastic surgery.
Objectively, she looks quite young compared to her real age, and her appearance hasn't changed much compared to when she was 30-40 years old.
However, looking more broadly, such large-scale discussions have happened many times, for example with celebrity Tham Thuy Hang, which is understood to be the audience's normal reaction to the sudden change in appearance of beauties who have become beauty icons.
The scandal passed, leaving Nhu Quynh hurt and fans angry. Over time, the audience gradually got used to it and stopped talking about it.
Currently, Nhu Quynh is no longer at the peak of her beauty and voice. The health problems she has suffered for many years may be the cause of her obvious physical and mental decline.
In addition, over time, her voice tone is no longer as beautiful as before. From her physical strength to her voice color, she cannot guarantee the high requirements in handling Nhu Quynh's characteristic works of the past decades.
Nhu Quynh's live singing videos have caused controversy. As for her recordings, her once-popular singing style is now criticized for being strained and tiring to listeners.
Thanks to knowing how to listen and accept compliments and criticism, Nhu Quynh has maintained better health, gradually regained her form, and adjusted and moderated her singing style to suit the times.
The cover of the "national" hit " Why are you sad, my dear" shows that she handles it deeply and with a lot of experience. Each word contains Nhu Quynh's own intention and emotion; becoming a completely different version, independent from Hoai Lam's original, even somewhat elevating the song.

In recent years, Nhu Quynh has been quite diligent in making products and holding concerts in Vietnam, receiving support from the audience.
There are still some bad rumors about Nhu Quynh's private life and small controversies surrounding her - maybe smoldering fires, waiting to be blown up.
Of the 7 principles of maintaining a personal brand, the last principle - maintaining morality - plays the most important role in the post-peak period. Thanks to her scandal-free lifestyle and humble personality, despite her fading beauty, audiences still love Nhu Quynh as much as ever.
With a sensitive heart, perhaps better than anyone else, Nhu Quynh understands what is the true, lasting value that helps her go the long way in her career and maintain the love in the hearts of the public.
