Phuong My Chi out of top 2 because To Huu Bang deducted 0.8 points? Netizens are arguing fiercely

Before the semi-finals of the Sing! Asia music show aired on the evening of July 18, social media was suddenly abuzz with a series of leaked information related to the results of the final match of the competition.

The revelations, which are said to have come from behind the scenes of the final filming in Macau (China), surprised fans, especially the fan community of Vietnam's representative - singer Phuong My Chi.

According to sources spreading on Weibo, the final night took place with the participation of the four best contestants. Phuong My Chi - representing Vietnam - is said to have brought two elaborate performances with a strong identity. One of them was a duet "Lac Troi" in collaboration with singer Hoang Linh, the other was a solo performance with Asian colors, highly appreciated by the audience present at the studio.

Those who witnessed it directly confirmed that the female singer born in 2003 exploded, leaving a strong impression on stage and performance art. However, the leaked rankings later made the online community – especially Vietnamese audiences – indignant. According to the spread rankings, Phuong My Chi only stopped at the 2nd runner-up position. Meanwhile, Chu Phi Ca – representative of China – won the 1st runner-up position and the highest position belonged to Miyuna from Japan.

Many viewers expressed confusion and disagreement with the above results. They believed that Phuong My Chi’s performance throughout the competition deserved to be more highly regarded. In particular, the fact that she was ranked behind Chu Phi Ca – who was considered to be lacking in prominence and insignificant – further raised public doubts about the fairness of the competition.

Not only feeling indignant, a large part of the Vietnamese audience also immediately summarized the competition process of both contestants to reinforce their opinion. Accordingly, Phuong My Chi always maintained a stable performance, continuously bringing creative performances, impressing not only domestic but also international audiences. She stands out with her folk music style combined with modern, creating a unique identity among the diverse international contestants.

Meanwhile, Chu Phi Ca was judged to be less outstanding, both in terms of technique and stage personality. However, this Chinese male contestant continuously received positive reviews from the advisory judges. One of the controversial details was the competition round in Ha Long Bay. Although Phuong My Chi was highly rated, she was almost eliminated because of the low number of votes from the direct judges. Meanwhile, Chu Phi Ca received support from two key judges: Truong Luong Dinh and To Huu Bang.

Thanks to 15/21 votes from the international online judges, Phuong My Chi was able to overcome and win the right to continue. This situation caused a lot of debate on social networks and made many people question the fairness of the scoring process.

Notably, in the recent leaked information, there is a detail that Phuong My Chi is only 0.8 points behind Chu Phi Ca. This further raises the question of whether there is bias in the evaluation process. To Huu Bang - one of the main judges - is also mentioned the most by the online community, because he had publicly supported Chu Phi Ca in the previous rounds.

In addition, there are rumors that Chu Phi Ca is a "homegrown chicken" of a company that has invested financially in the program. Not only him, but two other contestants from China - Phan Hong and Vuong Hoang Hao - are also said to be in the "priority" category despite their not-so-outstanding performance quality. Although these streams of information have not been verified, they have caused a wave of controversy to rise on social networks.

Although the results are not yet official, Phuong My Chi's journey at Sing! Asia is still considered a proud milestone. She has introduced Vietnamese music to international friends with a spirit of learning, effort and creativity. Her performances are not only a combination of tradition and modernity, but also demonstrate the courage of a young artist who dares to go beyond the limits of safety.

From the image of a "folk prodigy", Phuong My Chi has entered a mature stage in her career. She has gradually built a distinct position in the hearts of the audience, with a clear personal style and professional performance.

If the leaked information is true and she does not win the top prize, then to Vietnamese audiences, Phuong My Chi is still the winner. She has asserted herself in a harsh international arena, maintained her national identity and left a deep impression on viewers.

Besides the controversy over the results, one thing that cannot be denied is that the fans' affection for Phuong My Chi remains steadfast. For them, the trophy is no longer so important, because public recognition is the most valuable reward for a young artist reaching out to the world.
