Netizen Trung 'scrutinized' Phuong My Chi's high-note shooting, revealing a rare truth?

After the performance of Vanity Ball in episode 6 - Sing! Asia , Phuong My Chi immediately became the focus of attention. The highlight is that the climax is lifted and technically processed, not only making the audience goosebumps, but the fans also have to nod their heads in admiration.

In particular, the "melancholy" high note that she showed has created a wave of heated debate, not only in the country but also in the Chinese online community.

On Chinese social networking platforms, many comments praised Phuong My Chi's voice as "top-notch" , "utopian for a young singer" . Some netizens also likened her to having a "dolphin voice" , a phrase that immediately made many Vietnamese viewers curious: Why is the voice compared to... dolphin?.

In fact, the concept of "dolphin voice " is not a mainstream academic term in music. This is an iconographic name, popular in the pop music lover community, used to describe voices that possess the ability to reach extremely high notes, beyond the standard advertising of female voices with clear, bright and resonant tones like the cry of a dolphin.

People with a "dolphin voice" often possess a skillful head voice or whistle register technique, two techniques that are very difficult to control. When successfully executed, the high notes not only reach the peak of the technique but also create a feeling of adventure, sometimes making the listener "overwhelmed" by the brilliance and echo of the sound.

The world has recorded many illustrious names with this title, most notably Mariah Carey , who is known as the "queen of the whistle register", possesses the ability to reach the G7 note while still retaining the tone like a flute. After her, many other artists such as Ariana Grande , Christina Aguilera (Europe and America), Slap Dinh Dinh, Truong Luong Dinh, Chau Shen (China), Vitas (Ukraine), have also been mentioned for their ability to "sing like a dolphin".

In Vietnam, although there is no popular name for this "vocal phenomenon", there is no shortage of voices that have touched the same vocal range. It can be mentioned that Thu Minh, Duong Hoang Yen, Nhat Thuy, Roise Bao Yen... And recently, Phuong My Chi has emerged as a representative of the new generation with the ability to make a breakthrough in pseudo-vocal technique.

For Phuong My Chi, the performance of Vanity Ball is not just a voice show, but also a strong statement of maturity in musical thinking. She is not afraid to challenge herself, go beyond the familiar folk song safe zone to experiment with new limits. And whether it is called "dolphin", "phenomenon", or any other beautiful word, the most obvious thing is: Phuong My Chi is constantly moving forward, with bravery and serious investment in each note.

From being the runner-up of The Voice Kids 2013, Phuong My Chi was once suspected of being a "child star who bloomed early", but she chose to go slowly but surely, not following the trend, not making a fuss, but instead, the Gen Z female singer steadfastly kept the roots of folk songs but constantly renewed herself with contemporary mixes. It is this consistency that makes Phuong My Chi a rare young face that has conquered many generations of audiences.

Phuong My Chi has been famous in the music industry since she was 10 years old with the song Que em in the flood season (Tien Luan). Over 10 years of pursuing singing, she has released many MVs, having released the albums Thuong to the Central (2017), 16 spring and moon (2019), Bat Nha Tuan (2020). In 2023, she released the album The Flying Stork Universe, inspired by Vietnamese literary works. She also participated in acting through the film projects Hai Lua (2014), Summer 1999 (unreleased), Fairy House (2025), web-drama Step-Aunt's Flower Shop.
