Defeated General Phuong My Chi sings Vietnamese very sweetly, makes shocking statement about Son Tung

" Sing! Asia 2025" is attracting the attention of a large audience, especially in Vietnam thanks to Phuong My Chi and a series of famous names. Among them, a familiar face that is also causing a stir is Jannine Weigel.

From "cover phenomenon" to die-hard fan of Son Tung: Impressing Vietnamese audiences

Jannine Parawie Weigel, born in 2000, is of German (father) and Thai (mother) descent. She grew up in Germany before moving to Bangkok with her family at the age of 10 and homeschooling. As a result, Jannine is fluent in three languages: Thai, German, English, and can communicate in basic Chinese and Vietnamese.

Jannine's entertainment career began in 2010 as a chil.d model. A year later, she participated in the "Singing Kids" contest and won the runner-up position. In 2012, she signed a contract with GMM Grammy, officially entering the Thai music industry with a series of popular songs such as Chak Din Chak Ngo, Away, Finish Line, Because Of You, I'm Glad...

In Vietnam, Jannine Weigel is a familiar name, especially in the period 2013 - 2015, when the cover music community was growing strongly. She is the owner of a series of cover clips in many different languages, the most prominent of which is the folk song "Beo Dat May Troi".

Jannine's sweet, fluent Vietnamese voice leaves listeners in awe, with many even mistaking her for Vietnamese. It is her sophistication and ability to conquer the language that has helped the singer create a special connection with audiences in the S-shaped strip of land.

Notably, in an interview, Jannine revealed that she was a die-hard fan of Son Tung M-TP. This helped her gain more sympathy from young Vietnamese people, further strengthening her large fan base during the period when cover music was spreading across Asian music platforms.

Career turning point and beauty change: Trade-off for maturity?

In 2019, Jannine Weigel shocked the world when she announced that she was leaving the Thai entertainment industry and moving to Germany to pursue a new chapter in her music career. She also revealed her intention to sell her house in Bangkok and move to Malaysia to sign with RedRecords by the end of 2019 – a new record label based in Kuala Lumpur, a joint venture between AirAsia Group and Universal Music Group.

Under her new roof, Jannine released her debut single "Passcode", showing a more mature musical personality and pursuing a modern image and liberal fashion style. However, the singer's music products over the past few years have not received as much support as during her peak. Her appeal has also gradually decreased as she has entered adulthood.

Along with the changes in her career, Jannine Weigel’s appearance has also been a controversial topic. In her teenage years, the singer possessed a sweet, innocent beauty with a harmonious blend of German and Thai features – a major factor that helped her achieve great success throughout Asia. However, after a period of absence, fans were surprised by Jannine’s unfamiliar face.

From the age of 18 - 19, she had interventions on her nose, chin, eyes... Until now, many fans have to admit that it is difficult to recognize the singer born in 2000 because of her unusually declining beauty. Many opinions say that she has abused plastic surgery to become more confident and fit the European and American image that she is pursuing. However, excessive "surgery" may have caused Jannine to lose the natural, pure beauty that once made her brand.

Return at "Sing! Asia 2025": New challenge for hybrid rose

Recently, Jannine Weigel attracted attention when she registered for "Sing! Asia 2025" as a representative of Thailand. She competed in singing skills with other representatives, but in the Vietnam station, she had to lose to Phuong My Chi - who had an overwhelming 21 votes and became the King of Songs.

However, Jannine Weigel is still considered one of Phuong My Chi's notable rivals. Especially when she has also been active in the arts for over 10 years and has grown up from singing competitions like the runner-up of The Voice Kids 2013.

Jannine's comeback is not only an opportunity for her to prove her singing ability after many years focusing on the international market, but also an opportunity for Vietnamese audiences to see a familiar face that has changed a lot. Can she once again regain her appeal and affirm her position in the Asian music scene?
