Su You Peng returns to the hot seat, Dan Truong "evaporates", Phuong My Chi is at a disadvantage

This evening (July 11), Phuong My Chi will officially enter the first semi-final round of " Sing! Asia ". The Vietnamese representative will pair up with Chinese singer Kha Lau, competing directly with 4 other strong pairs of contestants.

Before the G-hour, the pressure increased when the program announced 3 direct advisory judges to "judge" the contest at the studio, including big names: Truong Luong Dinh, To Huu Bang and Ly Thua Huyen (Lee Seung Hyun). Looking at this powerful panel of judges, Vietnamese netizens could not help but express their concern for Phuong My Chi and Kha Lau.

"Old case" and worries from the powerful trio Su You Peng - Zhang Liangying

The Vietnamese audience's concerns are not without basis. Remember in episode 3 of Ha Long Bay Station (Vietnam), Su You Peng and Zhang Liangying surprised everyone by not voting for Phuong My Chi, despite her excellent performance against her two opponents Chu Phi Ca and Miyuna .

This incident raised suspicions of unfair treatment or even "oppression" of the Vietnamese representative, although the program did not make any comments. Su Youpeng, an icon of the Chinese entertainment industry since the 90s as an actor, singer, and later a director, has great influence.

Similarly, Zhang Liangying is a top Chinese diva with a classy voice and extensive experience on international stages. Their presence on the hot seat brings prestige but also comes with certain pressures for the contestants.

Currently, the voting rules for the first semi-final have not been announced in detail, but if Phuong My Chi and Kha Lau's pair do not receive all the votes from the three powerful judges, this is also considered a big disadvantage for them in the competition with the remaining four pairs of contestants. Each vote has weight, and in a fierce race like the semi-final, the lack of even one vote can greatly affect the situation.

Dan Truong's absence and the rotating jury structure

In addition to the appearance of the new judges, in recent episodes, the unexpected absence of singer Dan Truong also made many people wonder. Many people were curious about what happened behind the scenes, when the judge who left an impression with his calm, elegant demeanor and especially the emotional duet "Cát Đôi Nội Sầu" with diva Truong Luong Dinh suddenly "disappeared" from the frame.

However, in reality, the judging structure of "Sing! Asia" is not fixed. The judges are rotated at each station to create diversity in perspective and expertise. Dan Truong, after completing his role in the first episodes, temporarily "gave up his seat" to new judges.

Although he only appeared for a short time, his presence still left a mark with the image of an "ageless male god", a calm demeanor and respect for art in the international environment, contributing to bringing the image of Vietnamese artists closer to audiences on the continent.

Phuong My Chi: Gen Z's bravery and cultural exchange

As for Phuong My Chi, the female singer is increasingly proving her mettle on the regional stage. As a young representative of Vietnam, she has received praise from international experts for her emotional voice and ability to transform in various ways through each round of the competition.

Not following the market model, The Voice Kids 2013 runner-up brings a unique color, both Vietnamese and rich in integration ability, something that not every contestant has in a continental competition. Her combination with Kha Lau in the semi-finals is expected to be a special highlight.

The two have many remarkable things in common: they both possess good singing voices, solid vocal techniques, and both pursue a musical style that combines folk/traditional materials with modern elements. Even before the semi-finals, Kha Lau expressed his admiration and determination to be on the same team as Phuong My Chi, showing the harmony and mutual trust between the two young talents.

There are 2 singers who are said to openly hate her, causing Vietnamese fans to be in an uproar.
