Ha Ho listened to Phuong My Chi's hit, suddenly "frowning" from being normal

After the strong viral effect from the program Sing! Asia 2025, the song Bong phu hoa by Phuong My Chi suddenly "revived" on social networking platforms. The work quickly became a hot topic of discussion among music lovers.

Currently, the graphic music video Bóng phụ hoa, although released more than a year ago, has still reached more than 18 million views on YouTube, in which many viewers left comments: "Sing! Asia brought me here". Notably, the bilingual performance at this program has attracted more than 8 million views after only 8 days, currently ranking second in the YouTube trending music category.

What makes the public love Phuong My Chi is that she shows her confidence in an international arena while still not forgetting to spread Vietnamese culture. At Sing! Asia, Bong phu hoa was renewed in terms of arrangement and vocal technique, creating an opportunity for the singer born in 2003 to show off her inner strength. A series of compliments were given to her from both experts and international audiences. Comments such as "sky-high soaring part", "goosebump-inducing high notes" appeared densely under the video.

People's Artist Ro Cham Phiang - a long-time vocal instructor - commented: "The high part in this song is smooth, without skipping intervals, like a river flowing and pushing waves up, not difficult for trained singers. Going high and skipping intervals, this note to that note, unusual ups and downs is the challenge. But Phuong My Chi did well in all aspects: good singing, good stage presence, unique costume, creating a sublime performance. She completely deserves applause in this performance".

From a folk singer, Phuong My Chi faced a lot of criticism when she decided to switch to pop music. However, the journey to explore new lands has shown that this was the right decision. With her talent, progressive spirit and flexible transformation, the young female singer has gradually affirmed her own position and received increasing support from the public.

The influence of Bong phu hoa continues to be proven when this song continuously appears in cover versions with many different styles. Recently, the song was also recreated in a television program with the participation of Ho Ngoc Ha as a judge.

In a recent episode, a female contestant chose to perform Bong phu hoa in a semi-classical style instead of keeping the original Southern folk song of Phuong My Chi. She used many high notes and a dramatic way of handling the song to refresh it. This powerful performance immediately scored points with the judges and the audience in the studio.

What caught many people's attention was Ho Ngoc Ha's expression throughout the performance. The singer of "Ca mot troi thuong nho" could not hide her surprise and continuously "frowned" - an expression often seen when listening to high notes or complex technical processing. Many viewers thought that this was a sign of empathy and strong musical appreciation, but others questioned: did the female judge feel uncomfortable?

The clip recording the performance quickly spread on social media platforms, attracting millions of views in just a few hours. Netizens were clearly divided into two opinions. One side praised the contestant's new approach and the spirit of daring to challenge herself. The other side compared the original version of Phuong My Chi's "Bong phu hoa" with the new version.

Despite their completely different approaches – one with a strong folk feel, the other a modern classical one – both versions were highly praised. Many commentators said that each voice brought its own unique color, and both succeeded in conveying the depth of the work.

Bong phu hoa is one of the outstanding compositions in the album Vu tru co bay - a product that marks the maturity in musical thinking and performing style of Phuong My Chi. Inspired by the folk tale The Tale of Nam Xuong, the song recreates the tragedy of women in feudal society, both having a fairy tale color and containing a heartbreaking reality.

The special feature of the song lies in the rustic arrangement, close to the Southern folk music, but still harmoniously combined with modern vocal techniques. Phuong My Chi delicately expresses each level of emotion - from sacrifice, resignation to inner turmoil - making the listener feel moved.

It is the fusion between tradition and contemporary that helps Bong phu hoa transcend the framework of a folk song, becoming a true work of art. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a difficult challenge for any singer – even veteran artists.
