Why she might be annoying:

    Her stage name is a masculine name in Arabic.
    She resembles Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
    Images of her often alternate between giving her black or brown hair, which confuses things a little on her actual hair color.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She survived breast cancer when it was detected in its early stage and cured from her.
    She advocates peace and reconciliation between Greece and Turkey, and it helps that she collaborates with musicians from both countries, allowing her to have a huge following in them.
