Chinese netizens 'dethroned' Phuong My Chi, accused Vu Tru Co Anh of plagiarizing Chinese rap, Vietnamese fans were angry

Phuong My Chi's performance in the semi-finals of Sing! Asia recently caused a special fever among domestic fans. However, in the Chinese media, Phuong My Chi was brought down, accused of copying their rap in Vu Tru Co Anh, causing a stir among Vietnamese fans.

In the second semi-final, Phuong My Chi caused a shock when she "reappeared" with "Vu Tru Co Anh" through a new mix combining belly dancing and hip hop. This "transformation" performance received 2 votes from Truong Luong Dinh, To Huu Bang and dominated the online votes. However, after "defeating" the Chinese contestant, Phuong My Chi was immediately "called out" on forums in the billion-people country. A series of negative comments, accusing her of "rap plagiarism" and "claiming intellectual property" flooded in, causing anger among fans.

In the second semi-final of Sing! Asia, Phuong My Chi truly stunned the judges and the audience with her unpredictable transformation. She performed the song "Vu Tru Co Anh" - a composition of her own, inspired by the pure, dreamy emotions of young love, combined with modern sounds and unexpected elements.

On stage, Phuong My Chi is no longer the gentle, graceful "folk singer" of the past. She has completely "transformed" into a versatile, confident "stage queen". The new arrangement of "Vu Tru Co Anh" has been "magically" transformed to become more vibrant, with pounding drums, catchy synths and especially the bold combination of graceful belly dancing and strong, decisive hip hop moves.

She confidently performed decisive, skillful dance moves, combined with her captivating singing and rapping abilities. Phuong My Chi's every gesture and gaze were full of energy, demonstrating her mastery of the stage and unique musical personality. The performance made To Huu Bang and Truong Luong Dinh have a completely different view of her. In each round, Phuong My Chi brought a different color to the international arena, constantly "transforming" from a gentle image to a confident, vibrant one, making Vietnamese fans "sore their noses" with pride.

However, immediately after Phuong My Chi's explosive performance helped her "knock out" the contestant from another country, a fierce wave of controversy broke out across Chinese social networking forums. A series of negative, "one-sided" and malicious comments flooded the Vietnamese online community, making the Vietnamese online community extremely indignant.

Typical examples are the "sharp" comments such as: "The judges just wanted to surprise her so they chose that girl. Don't think you're better than us!" or "I think that girl's performance style is influenced by Chinese artists, especially the rap part". Even more outrageous are the comments that blatantly "claim" the intellectual talent of Phuong My Chi: "The rap part in this song is so similar to our country's", and there are even skeptical opinions: "Don't tell me that their country's representative is plagiarizing our country's music!".

These comments not only show a "lack of respect" for Phuong My Chi's talent but also show the unreasonable act of "claiming" the intellectual value of Vietnamese artists. This is a great insult to the creative efforts and dedication of Phuong My Chi - who composed and performed the song "Vu Tru Co Anh" with her own identity, not copying from any Chinese artist. The fact that some Chinese audiences "generalize", equating similarities in genre or style with "plagiarism" is completely baseless and stereotyped, seriously affecting Phuong My Chi's image.

Amidst the controversy, many Chinese audiences still fairly appreciated Phuong My Chi, affirming that Vietnam's victory was well-deserved. Comments such as "Vietnam's victory was well-deserved, our representative was so pale today" or "Phuong My Chi really shined on stage, her energy seemed to explode, burning the whole auditorium" soothed Vietnamese fans and proved that her talent was recognized. This incident once again showed the pressure when Vietnamese artists reach international level, but more importantly, Phuong My Chi's "transformation" performance affirmed her bravery and creativity, making Vietnamese fans even more proud.

Su You Peng was stunned, Zhang Liangying was 'taught badly' by Fang Mei Chi on stage. Moon16:15:20 21/07/2025The semi-final episode 2 of Sing!
