Before this event had time to calm down, social networks were once again buzzing when the clip of Phuong My Chi performing the song Xich Linh at the Da Lat stage was shared again. The song has the sound of Chinese drama, complex structure, many passages require advanced vocal techniques – especially the handling of high frequencies and the characteristic style of lyrics. However, Phuong My Chi not only fully showed the pronunciation, but also made the audience get goosebumps with climaxes that were "shot" with a powerful and emotional fake voice.

Recently, the online community suddenly shared a clip comparing the two versions of Thach Sung performed by Hoai Lam and Phuong My Chi. Although they were not performed at the same time, the two recordings were brought to the scales, causing the audience to have a lively debate. Some people lean towards the soft and rounded voice of Phuong My Chi – who appreciates the narrative and emotional depth in Hoai Lam's singing. For Phuong My Chi, the mix that she performs is new, neat, clear and musical. The 21-year-old singer still retains her inherent rusticism but at the same time refreshes the rhythm and handling to better suit the tastes of modern listeners.

On the contrary, Hoai Lam brought a recording with a lot of reflection. His singing style does not emphasize technique but is more expressive and narrative – like telling a life story through music. His lines are not sophisticated but enough to evoke emotions. It is that difference that highlights two distinct musical personalities: on the one hand, the purity and well-thought-out technique; on the other side is the experience and austerity of the artist who has experienced many fluctuations in his career.

Many comments said that they listened to both versions many times and... still haven't chosen anyone better.
