Dan Truong exhausted filming Chinese show, powerless with Phuong My Chi?

Singer Dan Truong attracted attention when participating in the program Sing! Asia 2025 with many famous Asian artists such as To Huu Bang, Truong Luong Dinh and the only representative of Vietnam - Phuong My Chi.

According to Dan Truong, accepting the invitation to participate in the program was a sudden and difficult decision. At that time, the male singer was on a five-night tour in Australia, after returning to Vietnam from the US. "My schedule was upside down, I could only sleep 3-4 hours a day and was also sick," he confided.

To be able to participate in the program, Dan Truong had to make an effort to convince the sponsor and change his previously scheduled performance plan. "I had to beg the brand, cry and promise to compensate them in all kinds of ways," he added.

The singer said the constant travel without any time to rest exhausted him. He described the filming of the show as a challenging "marathon". "More than 100 people kept taking pictures and filming, filming and practicing, going from one deck to another, making me very stressed and pressured," said Dan Truong.

Due to his busy schedule, Dan Truong appeared on television looking tired. However, he still tried his best to fulfill his role as a judge and paid special attention to Phuong My Chi. The male singer not only encouraged her but also guided her in choosing songs for the final round.

Throughout the three rounds, Dan Truong always chose Phuong My Chi, even though the other two judges did not make the same choice. "Phuong My Chi is the first-place contestant at Tram Viet Nam, which is a great success for Dan Truong, so it doesn't matter if I'm a little tired and exhausted," he said.

As for Phuong My Chi, after her spectacular victory at the Vietnam station, she continued to showcase her musical style and promote Vietnamese culture at the Singapore station. However, the female singer unexpectedly lost to her opponent from China.

On social media, Vietnamese audiences expressed their pride in Phuong My Chi. Many people believe that she not only competed but also turned the program into a performance stage, where she expressed her musical personality and spread Vietnamese cultural identity.

International audiences also praised the Vietnamese representative. A user left a comment in Chinese under Phuong My Chi's video: "She not only brings her homeland's music, but also brings your country's traditional musical instruments to the world. She sings very well. I respect her very much. She has the best voice in the East."

Phuong My Chi's opponent is male singer Vuong Hoang Hao from China. He performed an R&B style song, focusing on showing off his voice.

As a result, Wang Honghao won with a 20-3 vote margin. He became the "station king" of Singapore and the first Chinese contestant to top a station at Sing! Asia 2025.

Despite losing, Phuong My Chi still won a ticket to the quarter-finals held in Hong Kong (China) thanks to her previous victory at the Vietnam station.

After episode 4 aired, some viewers expressed doubts about the fairness of the show. They said that they could accept the losing result, but the difference in votes was too large and difficult to understand.

Many of the negative comments stemmed from the competition in Ha Long Bay, where Phuong My Chi received many compliments from the two "hot seat" judges, Truong Luong Dinh and To Huu Bang, but was still not voted for by them. In her performance with contestant Chu Phi Ca, To Huu Bang decided to choose the Chinese representative. He explained that because he could not decide between the two performances, he had to "listen to his feelings".

Although Phuong My Chi won with a 15-6 vote from the online judges, many people believed that the Chinese "hot seat" advisors were somewhat biased towards domestic contestants. This raised concerns that representatives of other countries could be at a disadvantage if they were to compete against Chinese contestants, since the majority of the "hot seat" judges are Chinese artists.

However, it is very difficult to determine whether there is bias or not. In Phuong My Chi's case, she was chosen by Dan Truong when he was a guest advisor in episode 3.

In addition to the studio judges, Sing! Asia 2025 also has the participation of 21 online judges from many countries and territories, all of whom are highly qualified in music. Because this group accounts for a large number, the choice of the "hot seat" judges does not affect the final result too much.

The online judging panel is also the factor that helped Phuong My Chi become the "king of stations" in Vietnam.
