Hari Won - Zhencheng "failed" miserably, criticized: Poor singer, unknown lyricist?

Despite confronting each other directly and creating a lot of attention when launching new products at the same time, however, Zhencheng and Hari Won received many criticisms. If Zhencheng is criticized for his poor singing voice when "encroaching", Hari Won is quite old and sings without clear lyrics.

Releasing the MV on the same day, Zhencheng and Hari Won attracted attention when they chose pop ballad songs to conquer the audience. However, the two products chose completely different colors: Hari Won continued to pursue a youthful, modern style and Zhencheng experimented with historical MVs.

Unfortunately, after 10 days of release, both MVs did not create a strong effect, could not become hits. Hari Won's MV reached more than 2 million views, while Zhencheng's MV was far behind, at just over 1 million views. One of the factors that makes the two unable to conquer the audience is the limited vocals, revealing many shortcomings in the way the song is handled.

Zhencheng sang poorly

Although he is an actor and MC, Zhencheng has boldly encroached on the field to launch new music products since sitting as a mentor at the Masked Singer program. The song was composed by Vuong Anh Tu in the genre of pop ballad forte. The musician is known as a hitmaker with a series of favorite songs such as Out of Memory (Blessed), Have everything but without him (Erik), Meet but not stay (Hien Ho) ...

Therefore, it is surprising that the combination of the duo Zhencheng - Vuong Anh Tu did not create the expected explosion. The song opens gently with piano. Zhencheng plays the role of a heartbroken man, remembering his old love who is now hand in hand with someone else. He begins singing: "Being with someone who can't laugh / I want your life to turn a new page / Before blindly together / Just for chasing love."

The lyrics are somewhat simpler than many songs Vuong Anh Tu composed, without many evocative images but mainly more about expressing emotions. In the following passages, the song swept listeners into a series of tragic confessions. The singer felt bewildered and hurt, gave all his affection but still could not hold back his lover.

It can be said that Not enough to keep me is not really impressive musically. Zhencheng's song presentation is still simple, there is not much diversity. He handles many notes that are still rough, lack softness, roundness, so he does not create strong emotions with listeners.

Even as the song passes through the chorus, Zhencheng keeps the same even singing style as it was at the beginning. The historical music video directed by Huy Tran is also not too excellent. The music video mainly illustrates the song rather than building a clear story. Moreover, the entire scene was done in the studio with props, somewhat detracting from the naturalness of the MV.

Hari Won is old

Like Zhencheng, Hari Won also chose a heartbreaking song to mark his return to music. As he had expected was Zheng Thang Binh's composition, combining two Korean authors, Shintto and Kim Hyun Seok. The song has a soft pop ballad-style melody, mixed with a bit of R&B to refresh. The highlight lies in the modern, K-pop orchestration with spread guitars and reasonably used keyboards.

The content of the song is not new, put from the perspective of a girl who falls in love. The song is gentle and easy to listen to, but Hari Won still argues because of the lack of clear Vietnamese lyrics. In return, the MV has beautiful images with a foreign context. Many scenes are constantly changing from yachts, harbors to romantic beaches, creating scenes that are both romantic and luxurious.

This time, Hari Won took a bolder step by releasing multiple versions of the MV to promote the song. Besides the Vietnamese version, the singer also released the Korean version. However, her voice is still a minus, causing the quality of the song to decrease. Her Vietnamese pronunciation is still unclear, making some passages a bit difficult to hear. The way the singer handles the passages in the song is still simple, not much different from the previous songs she has released. Hari Won sings in his mother tongue more comfortably, but the old handling makes the song not really stand out or memorable.

In general, both Hari Won and Zhencheng's songs are easy songs to listen to. However, the couple is not really too prominent and new compared to the current music market. After more than a week of release, the MVs all had flat views, completely absent from the charts, even by juniors such as Toc Tien, Phung Khanh Linh, My Anh ... eclipse. This is a disappointing achievement for big names like Zhencheng or Hari Won.
