Phuong My Chi 'carried sandals' at Singapore Station, To Huu Bang 'oppressed' and pampered 'homegrown players'?

After winning 2 victories in the Vietnam Station (Ha Long Bay) of the Sing! Asia program, Phuong My Chi continued to compete in the Singapore Station. However, the results were not very impressive or to be exact, she lost to her Chinese opponent.

In recent days, netizens have been worried about the suspicion that Phuong My Chi is at a disadvantage, not being judged correctly by Cbiz judges like Truong Luong Dinh or To Huu Bang when facing Chinese opponents.

On the stage of Sing! Asia episode 4, Phuong My Chi performed the song Ly Bac Bo with a drum dance, improvised freestyle dance and stirring up the judges with confetti throwing content. According to Sinchew, the Vietnamese singer had to compete 1-1 with Vuong Hoang Hao - the highest rated among all the contestants competing at Singapore Station.

In the final result, Wang Honghao won by a landslide against Fong Mei-chi. Singer Wang received 20 votes, while Fong Mei-chi only received 3 votes. Wang Honghao is also the singer who won the title of King of Singapore Stations. Despite the shocking loss to Wang Honghao, Fong Mei-chi still continued to advance to the Hong Kong (China) leg of Sing!Asia, having won the previous station.

In her latest performance of the song Ly Bac Bo, the 10X female singer combined the Bac Ninh Quan Ho material with the sound of the rice drum - a familiar traditional musical instrument in Vietnamese culture. This unique combination continues to be part of the three-region music project that Phuong My Chi and the DTAP production team have worked hard to create to bring Vietnamese culture closer to international audiences in a more modern and familiar way.

However, this performance with the drum has received mixed opinions from the online community. On many social media platforms, a segment of the audience expressed concern, saying that bringing the drum prop to the international stage needs more careful consideration. Some opinions said that the song this time was not really suitable, the performance needed to be more meticulous in terms of overall appearance from costumes to performance style when choosing to bring folk instruments to the stage.

Besides Ly Bac Bo, another highlight in Phuong My Chi's performance was the song Pushing the Ox Cart, composed by the DTAP group, inspired by the short story "The Beggar's Wife" by writer Kim Lan. The song carries a strong humanistic spirit, the desire to live in difficult times - expressing the resilient and optimistic beauty of the Vietnamese people. This is also the core value that Phuong My Chi and DTAP want to spread on the international stage.

At Sing! Asia, Phuong My Chi will compete with 31 other contestants from 8 Asian countries such as Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia... The contestants will go through the Confrontation, Competition, and Glory Deciding rounds to win in the final round.

According to producer Tran Dich, the winner or loser of a contestant will be calculated based on the combined votes of the advisors and the professional comments. That means the votes of 21 professional online judges from 21 different countries and territories will decide the fate of the contestant.

These online judges are all famous musicians and singers with high professional qualifications. The on-site judges are considered advisors, giving comments and helping contestants improve or develop their strengths and weaknesses when they step on stage. The votes of these live judges do not affect the final result too much.
