According to Prof. Erik Nakhjavani in ''Encyclopædia Iranica'': "Analogous to [[Delkash]], before her, Hayedeh sang with technical authority and passionate energy. Her laryngeal control made it possible for her to produce a series of graceful vibrato and glissando vocalizations required by the ''Avaz'' Persian vocal music. She could smoothly pass from the upper reaches of her alto voice to the lower, fuller, and darker range of the contralto. This mixture of strong laryngeal strength and learned vocal technique gave her alto-contralto voice a rare, powerful resonance and texture in the performance of the Avaz. Furthermore an acute sense for musical timing, the rhythmic flow of vocal music, affective musical phrasing, and poetic delivery enabled her to express and interpret effectively any songs she sang."<ref name="iranicaonline2003"/>

Iranian pianist and journalist [[Pejman Akbarzadeh]] made a documentary ''[[Hayedeh: Legendary Persian Diva]]'' about Hayedeh which was screened in [[Amsterdam]] in January 2009 for the first time. The documentary had its US premiere in May 2009 at the [[Noor Iranian Film Festival]] in Los Angeles and nominated as the Best Documentary at the festival. The film was also screened at 9th International Exile Film Festival (Sweden) and 4th [[Iranian Film Festival]] in the [[Netherlands]]. Tehran-based FARS News Agency (close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard) cited the documentary as a film on the "Corrupt monarchist singer Hayedeh". The documentary was released on [[DVD]] on 20 January 2010, the 20th anniversary of Hayedeh's death, by "Persian Dutch Network" in Amsterdam.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://mag.gooya.com/didaniha/archives/2010/02/101024.php|title=Hayedeh Documentary Released by Persian Dutch Network|date=20 January 2010|work=Gooya News|access-date=17 February 2018}}</ref> Various American universities have streamed the documentary on their server for educational purposes as well.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://search.library.pdx.edu/permalink/f/p82vj0/CP71357573350001451|title=Hayedeh: Legendary Persian Diva|date=10 November 2021|work=Portland State University|access-date=6 January 2022}}</ref>
