pbn 87 fashion review
Ocean Beauty: Ngoc Loan vs. Ngoc Lien
In an ocean water blue traditional dress and matching eye shadow, Ngoc Loan looks beautiful. Ngoc Lien on the other hand picked a darker color of blue; adding with flowers design which makes her dress looks absolutely gorgeous. Therefore Ngoc Lien would beat Ngoc Loan as the Ocean Beauty.
Pink Goddess: Huong Giang vs. Ngoc Lien
Huong Giang wore a flowery color pink dress showing feelings and emotion of the season, spring. While Ngoc Lien wore another pink piece with piece tied around her waist. Both of Huong Giang and Ngoc Lien look dreamingly sexy, but I have to give the title of being the pink goddess to Huong Giang because her dress gave her more of a curve while Ngoc Lien’s gave her no curves.
Prom Queen: Quynh Vi vs. Khanh Ha
Both Quynh Vi and Khanh Ha picked a gown to perform. With Quynh Vi in a blue and pink flower dress while Khanh Ha look stunning in a black gown. Quynh Vi’s dress was a bit over the top with the blue flowers running down the dress. However, Khanh Ha look sizzling from top to bottom which won her to Prom Queen Title.
Worst bottom part of dress: Hoai Phuong vs. Luu Bich
No doubt that Hoai Phuong and Luu Bich both has horrible looking skirt. Hoai Phuong’s skirt look raggedy and cheap making her look like a prostitute; worst is her see-through shirt, but her boots look cool. Luu Bich’s dress is not hard to look at, but the two spilt just ruin the dress – either then that the dress is quite nice. So the winner of this title is obviously Hoai Phuong, she also brought home the worst dress artist – that’s two DVD in a row (PBN 86 & 87).
Leopard Queen: Khanh Ha vs. Ky Duyen
Leopard skin is one of the most use animal skins to make dress, gown, shirt, ect. because it looks great. Obviously both Khanh Ha and Ky Duyen look wonderful in their own unique style; however, I must say that Khanh Ha look better just because it wasn’t too much like what Ky Duyen had done. Ky Duyen went from top to bottom – even her hair matches. Way too much! Therefore Khanh Ha takes home the Leopard Queen.
Traditional Cutie: Tam Doan vs. Ngoc Loan
Vietnamese lady always look at their best while wearing traditional dress and it shows because both Tam Doan and Ngoc Loan look stunning. In a variety of purple dress Tam Doan look beautiful; however, he make-up made her look old therefore I have to give the Traditional Cutie to Ngoc Loan and her black/yellow flowery traditional dress.
Mermaid Excellent: Trieu Bao Vi vs. Ky Duyen
Trieu Bao Vi picked a mermaid shape dress which always show off a woman’s curve while Ky Duyen pick a mermaid color dress. I have to give this title to Trieu Bao Vi because her dress shows more of her curve and make her look extremely sexy and seductive.
Most Glamorous: Huong Giang vs. Quynh Vi
Red Hot beauty: Tam Doan vs. Tu Quyen
In a burning red hot traditional dress Tam Doan manage to look sexy while traditional and pure. Tu Quyen on the other hand looks absolutely sizzling in a kimono with a corset that shows off her curve magnificently – adding to the hotness the two split beside her dress shows off her beautiful legs perfectly. Therefore I have to give the Red Hot Beauty Title to the stunning Tu Quyen.
pbn 87 review
PARIS BY NIGHT 87 – TALENT SHOW FINALS 2007
1. Ngoi Sao Dem Nay (Fame) – 13 Contestants
This was a great song to open the show because it’s fun, exciting, and fun which catches the audiences’ attention. I also love how they started both PBN 86 and 87 with the dancers because they are such talented peoples. Basically it was a great and fun song it to open the show.
2. Top 7 contestant
Ky Duyen made it more interesting and fun with the elimination which really shows how great an MC she is. When Ky Duyen told Trinh Lam to step over to the side of To Chan Phong I knew that was the winner side. I was happy with mostly all the contestants, but I really thought that Sunny Luong or Huy tam should have been in the top 7. I was not surprise that they save Ngoc Loan because from all the contestants Ngoc Loan did have one of the highest score.
3. All I want – Roni Trong
First off, I love this song and I have been listening to it for quite awhile already. Roni has a great voice and is a great performer. Having Roni song in this show was great because he has been through it all and can help the contestants through this and that.
4. Nguoi Dan Ong Chan That – David Meng
The song is an extremely good song, but David voice is too weak for such a strong song, I will still give him credit for being Cambodian. Every time he try to sing a high note, his voice scratches and it’s hard to listen to. However, I think that this was a better song for him to sing then the last.
5. Noi Buon Chim Sao – Ngoc Loan
Ngoc Loan has a great ‘que huong’ voice and Thuy Nga need more of these kind of voice because there are not a lot of great ‘que huong’ singer that could join Thuy Nga. As for the song, it was a huge disappointment because her previous song was so much better for her amazing voice. The song made her high pitch note sounded flat because she’s still new and is not use to going from such a low note to a high note.
6. Co Phai Em Mua Thu Ha Noi – Huong Giang
Huong Giang’s voice is so grand and extravagant. The song was great for her voice because the song showcase her strong voice well. The song she picks last time was not bad, but this song is much better and she seems more comfortable – not so stiff. She sounds so sweet and innocent in her interview with Ky Duyen which put a smile to your face.
8. Mua Hong – Quynh Vi
No doubt Quynh Vi has an extraordinary voice, but I thought she could’ve picked a much better song. I’m not saying the song is bad, I just think her past song was better and more entertaining. However, she was much more into her performance this time.
9. Bay Cung Tinh Yeu – Mai Tien Dung
Obviously this was not a song for him to sing because it made his voice sound weak and boring. The song was not a great song in the first place; therefore I would pick his other song over this song by a mile. It shows that he tries to make the song more entertaining and that’s all he could’ve done because the song choice was bad.
10. Gio Cung Tinh Yeu – Tran Thai Hoa
I don’t like the type of song he sings but I like the way he sing – he sound so into the song and it’s great because a singer must be know and love the song to make the listener love the song or enjoy it. His last note blew me away because his voice sounded amazing and I also think that this was a better song then the last song Tran Thai Hoa had sang.
11. Mot Lan Cuoi – Trinh Lam
What can I say about Trinh Lam, but that he is a great singer, composer and performer? I know that he will be a great success if he continues to do all three because it would be a waste if he doesn’t. The song was an acceptable song but it wasn’t great like his other song that he composed.
12. Tinh Yeu Voi Di – Ngoc Lien
Ngoc Lien performs the song well and I think that Duc Huy could agree with me because he had a satisfying face after the song was finish. If you know me then you must know that I don’t really like Ngoc Lien, but I have to say that she sounded pleasing in this song.
13. Hai Kich : Mong Ca Si – Hoai Linh, Chi Tai, Huu Loc, and Calvin Hiep
The new comedian Huu Loc is not funny or entertaining at all – he exaggerated way to much to the point that I got annoy by him. Calvin Hiep acted well as the old man and Chi Tai was Ok, but the skit got funny when Hoai Linh appears. No wonder he is today funniest comedian – his imitation of Tuan Ngoc, Thai Thanh, ect. were hilarious and very real especially Tuan Ngoc.
14. Chieu Mot Minh Qua Pho & Chi Co Mot Thoi – Quang Dung
Quang Dung sounded great in both of the song – he is officially a legend and it was great for him to sing in a talent show because it shows the contestants what a great voice sounds like. His performance is so natural and comfortable – maybe because he has performed for so long.
15. Unchain My Heart – Khanh Ha, Hoai Phuong, and Trinh lam
Khanh Ha is unbelievable amazing so we don’t need to talk about her – wow she sound amazing. Trinh Lam and Hoai Phuong Phuong both sounded good especially Hoai Phuong because her last performance was not so great, but she sounded amazing in this song. Both Trinh Lam and Hoai Phuong look like they had fun during the performance which is great because this show is what it’s for. Picking Trinh Lam and Hoai Phuong to sing this song was great because they both have such a strong voice. Adding with that the diva, Khanh Ha was even more pleasing.
16. Chong Xa – Tam Doan, Ngoc Loan, and Van Phi Thong
Tam Doan sound so beautiful – no wonder why they pick her to show these wannabe singers how it’s done. Ngoc Loan voice matches so well with Tam Doan which shows that she has the potential to be a great singer just like Tam Doan. While Van Phi Thong was more like a back up singer then a main singer to Tam Doan and Ngoc Loan.
17. Vang Trang Khoc – Roni Trong, Mai Tien Dung, Trieu Bao Vi, Huong Giang, and Quynh Vi
This song is to be sang by two people and two people only; a group of five ruined the song; not that this group of singer are bad, but it seem crowded. Roni Trong actually sound like a contestant then a singer which is a bit embarrass – maybe because he’s not use to be singing in Viet. Quynh Vi really did over shine all of the other contestants – Thuy Nga should have spilt them up and let either Mai Tien Dung to sing with Luu Bich or Quynh Vi with Tu Quyen. Not that a great duet because I think Quynh Vi and Tu Quyen would sound great together.
18. Cat Bui Tinh Xa – Ngoc Lien, Tran Thai Hoa, Ngo Quang Minh, and Huy Tam
Both Ngo Quang Minh and Tran Thai Hoa sounded great, but Huy Tam sounded irregular; maybe because he doesn’t sing these types of songs. He was just there, not much enjoying the song or performance. Ngoc Lien voice once again sounded great in this song.
19. Tra Het Cho Nguoi – Nguyen Hung, Sunny Luong, and David Meng
This is such a fun and entertaining song to listen to. Nguyen Hung voice still sound so great and no wonder why they let him teach the other how to sing. Sunny Luong sounded extremely well, but David sounded weird. I think that if Sunny pick this song for his first performance then he would’ve gotten into the top 7.
20. Song Ve Dua – Khanh Ha
When Khanh Ha sings her voice causes you to day dream about what she is singing. Her voice is grand and sizzling! You just have to fall in love with it. The song made her voice sounded even better then before. Her high notes are breathtaking.
21. Cho Vua Long Em – Tam Doan
Tam Doan sounded great in this song – it seem like this song is written for her. She must have been emotional singing in front of the composer, Nhat Ngan, because she almost cry singing the song.
22. Biet Lam Gi Hon – Nguyen Hung
Another great performance by Nguyen Hung – I just love his voice. It started out good with the vocal and voice, but became even better when it got faster with the dancers; gave the song more excitement and fun.
23. Sometimes When We Touch – Luu Bich
The song is romantically great for Luu Bich voice because she sounded dreamy in this song. The English start was good, but the Viet part was much better because I like the lyrics much better and she sounded much better. The dancers once again did great.
24. Con Lai Nho Thuong – Tu Quyen
No doubt Tu Quyen sounded great to me because she’s my favorite singer. I have heard Tu Quyen sing live before and I must say she sound exactly like she would in real live – sexy and amazing. She has this sexiness in her voice when she sings which I love so much. Adding to the great sound is her cute smile and dimples – who can hate her? It was also so cute when the song ended and she turns over and gave a huge smile to the dancers.
25. Ending Results:
I was sure from the beginning that Trinh Lam would already won either Peoples’ choice or Judges’ choice so I wasn’t surprise he won. When it got down to David Meng and Quynh Vi you could feel the love for Quynh Vi. I wanted her to win so much, but it turn out to be David. I guess it’s because he was Cambodian and that is unique. I know for sure that Quynh Vi will be a great singer later on if she continue to pursue in the Viet music industry.
Overall:
The show was well done and I can tell you that you can appreciate if you give it a chance. This is Thuy Nga’s first time and they did a well job, but it could’ve been better. The only thing pulling the show from being excellent was not having great MCs – Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Ngan. Yes, Ky Duyen was great but the other two made the show miserable to watch. However, I still recommended to you if you haven’t had a chance to watch both PBN 86 & 86.
opposing american idol
American Idol is today hottest talents search show in the world, discovering some of today hottest singer such as; Kelly Clarkson, Ruben, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, and the most recently Jordin Sparks. The show starts off going around the U.S having peoples with a dream to audition for that one chance to be famous. Thousands of peoples audition but only 24 makes it to Hollywood and then it goes down to one winner. Throughout their journey they perform once a week and is eliminated one by one. After the success of American Idol some have try to do the same thing and in the past few months Thuy Nga created a talent show searching for the most talented singer and performer to be apart of the Paris By Night huge family. After weeks and months of hardship listening to auditions they discover 13 top singers. A fantastic show performs to the audience [PBN 86 – Semi final] separated the good singer from the amazing singer. From 13 they reduce to 7 sizzling singer in [PBN 87 – finale] and from that they discover 2 winners – the judges’ choice and people’s choice.
After the Thuy Nga Talent Show finale finish, American Idol started to go down into their finale. All of the results from American Idol seem to look like the Thuy Nga Talent Search. Thuy Nga eliminated singer by singer until there were only 3 singers standing on stage; Trinh Lam, David Meng, and Quynh Vi; while the American Idol stage stands Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis and Melinda Doolittle. From the start fans have deliberated that either Trinh Lam or Quynh Vi would win the competition for Thuy Nga and Jordin Sparks or Melinda Doolittle would win for American Idol.
Trinh Lam won the Judges’ Choice award and Melinda Doolittle was eliminated getting third place, but had won over the judges choice with flying colors – even to the point that Simon thought she was the winner before the top 2 was announce. All of the results from American Idols seem to be the same as Thuy Nga such as; Quynh Vi and Jordin Sparks, the amazing vocalists, going against the unique and talented David Meng and Blake Lewis. However, the end result was the only thing that came out differently. Simon Cowell once mentions that, “this show is about the voice” and I agree fully. Thuy Nga has great performers, but not a lot vocalist. Throughout the 6 years of American Idols the vocalist had always beaten the entertainer. Everyone can agree that Quynh Vi has an amazing voice just like Jordin Sparks while both David Meng and Blake Lewis are unique and entertaining. David is trying out for a Vietnamese contest but he is a Cambodian native speaker and Blake Lewis has amazing beat boxing skills which lead him to go all the way to the top.
Conclusion:
So is the Thuy Nga Talent Search the opposite of American Idol? Tell me what you feel and think about this situation – should the vocalist win over the entertainer or the other way around?
comic strip no.1
Comic Strips
is a new long time running fun if I receive good comments; basically it’s just scenes I take from songs in PBN and make satirical comments which are purely satirical. My first comic strip come from many scenes during PBN 86 & 87. How can I skip this opportunity to poke fun of Thuy Nga’s new talent search.
pbn 86 fashion review
Welcome to Entertaining You. PBN 86 semi-final fashion review. Two days ago you all enjoy the special: red carpet review with Loan Chau. This review was suppose to be next week; however, the showdown was move to next week therefore you will be with me, Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen, where I will take you inside the show to see who look rocked their outfit and who fell flat.
Best Overall Look: Ky Duyen
It’s not just that I am indescribably gorgeous: it’s that I carries dresses so well and makes great fashion choices.
The pink and white dress I wore at the beginning of the show signaled a fashion romantic spring feeling. For the second part of the show I follow with a blue/purple dress where I paired with a dazzling pair of earrings. I absolutely look at my best during the show.
Modern Icon – Minh Tuyet
Minh Tuyet has left the days of princess pink dresses behind.
She worked the red carpet in a yellow – muster gown with plenty of modern detailing that accentuated her curves. Now she open the show with a white silky shirt that tie a knot at the middle and lead it’s way down to her knees; a very fashionable and sexy shirt.
Best Color: Ngoc Loan
Let other singers try to wear trendy colors that don’t flatter their coloring. Ngoc Loan in her green and butterfly pattern dress was absolutely stunning. Paired with her long hair (worn loose) and not-too-ostentatious earrings, Ngoc Loan was gorgeous.
Best Cutie Girl: Huong Giang
From her elegant, white and innocent ‘ao dai’, Huong Giang was every inch to being the best cutie girl of the event. Even her smile look innocent and cute (doesn’t seem fake like other singers).
Best Vintage Look: Quynh Vi
Lots of singers try to wear a vintage color dress, but somehow, on Quynh Vi vintage looks completely right. The pale green dress with a slit down on the side show off her appealing pair of legs and matching earrings were soft and sweet.
True Fashionista – Y Lan
Certain singers have such a strong individual vibe that they would be lost in a simple ‘ao dai’. However, Y Lan made the simple silver ‘ao dai’ a knockout, with subtle monochromatic neck piece and appealing head piece.
Flawless (Again) – Minh Tuyet
Minh Tuyet is a red carpet style icon because her fashion choices are so absolutely perfect, like this simple metallic shirt and matching blue jeans. What makes it even more amazing is that it all seems effortless for Minh Tuyet.
Minh Tuyet: Lady in Red
Red is a great attention getter, and Minh Tuyet got lots in her fiery – hued dress. Paired with the dress is a pair of red earrings and sparkling bracelet.
Best ensemble: Tran Thai Hoa
Tran Thai Hoa wore one of the most sophisticated ensembles of the night. His suit is perfectly paired with a white spread-collar shirt and stripe black – white tie.
Best Twist: Contestant Tran Thai Hoa
Tran Thai Hoa looks decent in a formal suit, but he gave it a new twist. He has done just this by excluding the expected tie and sporting a silk undershirt instead which comment with his milky white tuxedo.
Simple and Cool: Sunny Luong
Sunny looks simple, retro and cool. It seem like he brought his whole personalities onto stage with his sense of fashion.
Spectacular: Mai Tien Dung
Mai Tien Dung was definitely one of the best dressed men of the night. His black tux and white shirt was nothing short of spectacular.
The Not so Original: Van Phi Thong
Van Phi Thong was daring by wearing a traditional ‘ao dai’ because none of the male contestants wore one, it was not only original, but sharp.
Worst Dressed: Hoai Phuong
At the age of 29 Hoai Phuong looks old with the make-up and old fashion shirt and pants. The leather baby blue turtle nect shirt with the missing side screams “the designer forgot to finish my shirt”.
Desperation dance: Trieu Bao Vi
Indeed Trieu Bao Vi is a good dancer, but her black see-through shirt and thrifty looking skirt made her look unattractive and cheap.
Sleepy Flower: Tran Thu Ha
Tran Thu Ha’s voice is very well awake, but her look was not wide awake. The visible sleeping gown under a see-through covers sheet made Tran Thu Ha look like she overslept and just came to the show with what she was sleeping in.
Club Anyone?
I must say that Nhu Loan look stunning in the face and during the red carpet with that green and sizzling dress. However, during the performance ‘Ve Day Em’, Nhu Loan doesn’t look unique. It seem like she just randomly pick a dress that she would wear to a club.
pbn 86 special – red carpet fashion review
Welcome to Entertaining You. specials: PBN 86 semi-final red carpet fashion review. I, Loan Chau, will not be presented as a singer tonight, but a host and interviewee. If I don’t do well please forgive me. Please! There are so many hot artists attending this event, let see what they’re wearing.
Queen of the Red Carpet – Minh Tuyet
In a sea of pretty dresses, Minh Tuyet almost always manages to look absolutely mesmerizing. For the PBN Talent Search, she wore a dramatic, strap gown in bright yellow adding to that a fabulous smile.
What makes Minh Tuyet such a strong force of fashion? She chooses gowns that show off her great curves and transcend current trends. The dress just complements her curves, beautiful face and glamorous smile.
Don’t Let Him Dress Better Than You
Even if you haven’t been in the music or fashion industries don’t let the guy look better. When the guy looks more dolled up than his date – even her son, Beckham, look better then she did — it’s a fashion disaster.
Nhu Loan: Effortlessly Chic
The velvet green dress was definitely the ‘stand out’ of the event. But it was Nhu Loan’s interpretation — a study in contrasts — that looked fresh and modern.
Nhu Loan paired sleek, center-parted hair in a ponytail with sexy earrings. Her dress was a beautiful shade of green. Most artists would have gone with a big curly updo with the gown to make it look more formal. But Nhu Loan kept the whole look relaxed and elegant.
Khanh Ha and Luu Bich made white boring!
White is known to be one of the most elegant colors during the red carpet; however, Luu Bich and Khanh Ha made it boring and bland. Luu Bich cheap skirt was plain uncalled for. The biggest disappointment has to go to Khanh Ha, who is known for her amazing taste in fashion, flop with the old fashion white blouse and boring black pants.
Classic Culture
Khanh Ly and husband have the celebrity couple thing down. Both look classic Hollywood — he in a straightforward tux, her in a gorgeous emerald classic ao dai – looking perfectly together.
Black Cutie – Tam Doan
One of the problems that the younger singers have is trying to dress glam, while still dressing their age. In this dark, mysterious and black dress, Tam Doan looks elegant and sexy. Her almost-daytime hair and the girly hairpiece add to the ironic yet innocence of the clothes, which made her look stunning.
Glamour – Thuy Tien and Luong Tung Quang
It’s impossible to read about fashion without hearing the phrase “a return to glamour.” For singer Thuy Tien, the glam never left. In her richly detailed vanilla gown, she was perfectly princess-like. The princess also added along her prince of shining armor; looking all groom up is Mr. Luong Tung Quang.
Do Compliment Each Other
If you are going with a partner on the red carpet try to always compliment each other just like Van Quynh and Roni with her belt and his tie. Even if the colors of their clothes contradict and look strange together their belt and tie will make bring them back to the good side.
Wrong Everything
Ngoc Lien is the best example of a pretty woman with the wrong make-up on because her make-up made her look dull, bored and sleepy. As for the clothes the purple shirt was extremely boring and unfashionable.
Thumps Down: Quang Le
I like Quang le’s song but not his fashion sense. He somehow always looks over pack; it seem like he can’t decide what to where therefore he put his whole wardrobe on. Quynh Dung didn’t look any better with the not so sizzling ao dai and sloppy hair.
No Great Comeback (in fashion) for Ngoc Anh
What a huge missed opportunity for the confident Ngoc Anh to show how great she is doing after her long disappearance. Ngoc Anh looks short and awful next to the magnificent Loan Chau. The dress look cheap and the color contrast with the red carpet.
From trashy to classy: Ho Le Thu
Ho Le Thu’s been known to wear sexy, sleeveless dresses that show to much of her body which take away the beauty from her face, but this night she wore a dark black color overall that cover her every part. However, it let us see how beautiful and gorgeous she really is.
Don’t Try to Dress Young
If you’re by yourself on the red carpet and you try too hard to dress young (and you’re not), you’ll stand out a bit. If you’re going with a partner who tries too hard to be cool, you’ll just look doubly pathetic like Hoai Linh and Huong Thuy did on the red carpet.
Do Dress Like Yourselves
Fashion critics love to pan quirky Truc sister for their off-beat style. But the truth is their look — more so than their overly styled contemporaries — seems to reflect their inner selves. And isn’t that what true style is all about? The Truc sister looks great from head to toe – very red carpet type of looks.
Do Dress Equally Luxe
Sure, Lynda and Tommy could have both gone with something more low-key and still looked beautiful and hot together. Instead, Tommy experimented with a velvet high class tux and Lynda chose a sexy fur number with major bling.
Thai Thanh: Hotter Than Women Half Her Age
Can you believe Thai Thanh is near 60-70? She looked fit, trendy and stunning in a traditional ao dai.
Like her mother, Y Lan down with a sleeveless perfectly cut black dress which shows off a woman’s true beauty, instead of overwhelming it.
Boldest Fashion Choice: Rebecca Quynh Giao
Rebecca Quynh Giao, one of the many singers in black, that could took sexy to a new level in her mesh-sided, cut-to-there dress. Her sparkling necklace looked modern and showed off her incredible fashion sense.
Most Graceful Fashion Recovery: Tu Quyen
If you’ve ever tripped or stumbled in heels or a dragging hem, you’ll understand how incredible it was that Tu Quyen was able to teeter on falling and then recover from her not so welcome new hair style. Even though Tu Quyen is still keeping her bangs, she still manages to look sexy and magnificent in a black golden border dress. Tagging along her all smiling mother – showing how beautiful their family trait dimples are.
Biggest Fashion Mistake: Thuy Van
With her teased updo and light blue with exaggerated jewelries, Thuy Van look stunningly beautiful; however, her biggest fashion mistake was choosing Tuan Hung as her red carpet partner, he looks drunk and a little high.
I hope everyone enjoy Loan Chau’s section of PBN 86 Special: Red carpet fashion review. I, Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen, will take you inside the show next week to see who wore the best outfit and who didn’t do show well. So stay tune for more fun. Thank You!
pbn 86 review
PBN 86 – Talent Search Semi-Final
MCs – Nguyen Van Thinh, Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen,
and To Chan Phong
Ky Duyen is already a professional and she did an amazing job through out the whole show. Fixing and covering the mistakes made by the other two MC; mostly To Chan Phong. I thought that he did a poorly job, but I can understand because he’s is a newbie. However, Nguyen Van Thinh was horrible, it seem like he try too much to make himself sound like Nguyen Ngoc Ngan. His speeches were long, monotonous and boring; fans could agree that Nguyen Ngoc Ngan would have done a way better job. Overall the MCs were quite enjoyable when Ky Duyen talks and the other two listen.
Judges – Nhat Ngan, Khanh Ly, Duc Huy,
Huong Lan, and Huynh Thi
The judges were reasonable, acceptable and unquestionably great I thought every score gave by the judges were properly given out except for Khanh Ly wanting contestant 11, Tran Thai Hoa, to quite singing and pursuit into the medical field. It was amusing to watch Khanh Ly and Duc Huy fight over everything; very much like Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul from American Idol. The judges were well picked because they all had a great opinion and love for music which will indeed give out great score and they did through out the competition.
1. Ai Khong Mot Lan Mo [What a Feeling] – Minh Tuyet, Bang Kieu & 13 contestants
First off I have to give Thuy Nga’s dancers some credit because they did an amazing job opening and making the crowd all hyped up. This really proves why Thuy Nga has some off the most talented dancer and the best choreographer, Mrs. Shanda Shawer. Now to the music I thought having Minh Tuyet and Bang Kieu opening the show with the 13 contestants was a great idea because they are today hottest artist oversea. The song also shows off Minh Tuyet and Bang Kieu strong and magnificent voice. All 13 contestants did a well job and it seems like they had a lot of fun; and that’s what singing is about. They song make you song make you so alive and energetic. What a feeling huh?
2. Ben Gau Cuc Tan - Van Phi Phong
I must agree with Khanh Ly that there are not a lot of que huong singers in the industries of oversea music. We really need more of this kind of singer because it is the root of Vietnamese music. Van Thi Phong has a brilliant voice, but it’s still a bit weak and if he gets more couching then he could become an amazing singer.
3. Xin Loi Em – Davin Meng
I have to give him some credit on being Cambodian that could speak and sing Vietnamese, but his voice is so weak and he couldn’t reach any of his high pitch notes. I also agree with Huong Lan that he should try to pick a more suitable song for himself next time.
4. O Me Ly - Nguyen Huy Tam
Nguyen Huy Tam is a great entertainer because he is not afraid to make himself look silly on stage and it put smiles to his audience and it got everyone involve in his fun. The song was extremely fun to listen to because of how fast and entertaining it is. However, I must agree with Duc Huy and Khanh Ly that the song was extremely fast, but disagree about it not being hearable.
5. Thuong Nho Nguoi Dung - Ngoc Loan
Ngoc Loan sounded professional and she could even be compare to some of Thuy Nga’s que huong singers such as; Phi Nhung and Huong Thuy. I have to agree with Nhat Ngan that her ability to control her voice was just flawless and magnificent and that the song she has chosen showcase her voice perfectly.
6. Ve Day Nghe Em – Huong Giang
I must say that when I saw her sweet face I thought that her voice would be weak, but she blew me away with her demanding strong voice; like they say “don’t judge a book by its cover”. I must agree with Huong Lan that Huong Giang has a great voice, but she doesn’t have enough life experience to relate into the song.
7. Roi Cung Chia Tay – Trieu Bao Vy
Trieu Bao Vy is an average singer, but she is a great entertainer which really helped her with the judge’s score. Duc Huy’s explanations for his score were very reasonable and I thought that I must agree that her performance as a singer were bland, but as a entertainer were done well.
8. Ve Day Em - Nhu Loan
Nhu Loan started off weak and amateur, even to the point that one of my family member that doesn’t watch PBN thought she was one of the contestants. I have always thought that her voice were weak and the beginning of this performance made me think of Nhu Loan as a ‘look’ singer. However, as the song processes I could finally hear a professional singer, but I think Nhu Loan should’ve pick a better song that could gave her voice more dimension.
9. Ngoc Lan - Tran Thu Ha
Hands down to Tran Thu Ha as a legend in the Vietnamese music industries, her voice is splendidly superb. Tran Thu Ha sang beautifully and I want to say to all the contestants to learn from Tran Thu Ha because if you could sing any where near her then you would win for sure.
10. Niem Dau Chod Dau – Quynh Vi
Quynh Vi has the look, voice and a great persona that is very likeable. She is a beauty alright and that’s a plus, but her voice was as beautiful as she is. The song she chose was a great ballad and I must agree with Nhat Ngan that Quynh Vi is near being professional.
11. Hay Nhin Lai Minh Di – Luong Hoang Duc (Sunny Luong)
Sunny Luong song choice was not the best because he couldn’t reach any high notes which cause it hard to listen to. Duc Huy’s comments about the song being a strong type of song and that the vocals in this competition are more important. However, he is a great entertainer and dancer.
12. Chuyen Chang Co Don - Mai Tien Dung
Mai Tien Dung’s voice is indeed weak; however, he picked the right song for his voice which didn’t make his voice sound weak. I have to agree with Nhat Ngan that his voice is indeed very different and that his style of performing is extremely comfortable which is easy to watch, but I hate his little finger.
13. Tinh Nho - contestant Tran Thai Hoa
Tran Thai Hoa is a great singer; his voice is soulful and he has a great tone to his voice. Tinh Nho is an amazing song; however, it’s a very hard song to sing yet he sang very well. I thought Khanh Ly’s comment about her wanting him to be a doctor was understandable, but it was very harsh.
14. Chia Tay Tinh Dau - Hoai Phuong
I agree entirely with Huynh Thi’s comments, through out the whole song including the change in beat, Hoai Phuong were plain flat. Hoai Phuong is an average singer and performer therefore there are not any thing special about her.
15. Tai Sao? - Trinh Lam
Brilliant lyrics and voice, at that moment I knew Trinh Lam will be either the people’s choice or judges’ choice. Trinh Lam has an intruding tone to his voice which sound professional and practice. Also I thought he was extremely brave to choose his song to perform. I absolutely agree with Duc Huy with Trinh Lam being both a singer and composer.
16. La Do Muon Chieu - Ngo Quang Minh
I didn’t know what to expect from Ngo Quang Minh, but when he sang his voice is very different and unnatural. He did seem very stiff and not comfortable performing; however, I did like him singing in French.
17. Minh Oi - Y Lan
Y Lan’s voice is soft and very easy to the ear, she is so ‘dieu’ which made the song sound brilliant. I love the part in the middle of the song where she stop and dedicated the song to all her fans. I thought it was extremely sweet!
18. Ban Tinh Cuoi - Bang Kieu
Bang Kieu’s ability to control his magnificent voice is very respectable. I must say that his performance was flawless, remember this is ‘live’, he hit all the high notes perfectly and it’s quite hard.
19. Gio Thi Anh Da Biet - Bang Kieu Minh Tuyet
Beautiful song added with great today’s two best vocalist. What more do you want? Bang Kieu and Minh Tuyet sang exceedingly well together; however, don’t they look too close together? Because Bang Kieu’s wife is sitting in the audience and that act that they put on was fresh and funny.
21. Ai Kho Vi Ai – Quynh Dung and Duy Truong
First debut performance on Thuy Nga and they pick a horrible song. I thought that they are both wonderful singer, but the song was just bland and boring. Actually I was surprise when I heard Duy Truong sing because he looks like a pop singer more then a que huong singer.
20. Kai Kich: Nguoi O Thoi Hien Dai - Kieu Oanh,Trang Thanh Lan and Le Tin
Trang Thanh Lan and Le Tin’s poetry battle was so funny I miss Trang Thanh Lan very much, but when Kieu Oanh enters the scene it got even funnier. Her explanation of her Trang Thanh Lan’s hand was hilarious and of how she say their child were abnormal. Overall, I think all three did an amazing job.
21. Khoang Cach - Singer Tran Thai Hoa
Great song and I thought Tran Thai Hoa sang at his best. The song was extravagant and sexy, adding to that is the three couple dancing in the background added a more romantic feeling.
22. Vang Trang Dem Troi - Minh Tuyet
Minh Tuyet sang this song fantastically well, her voice was amazing. This version is officially my favorite, her voice was spectacular and she sang her heart out to all the contestants it was a great way to end the show.
23. Ai Khong Mot Lan Mo - 13 contestants
Overall, I thought Thuy Nga did an amazing job to make the competition enjoyable, mysterious and interesting. If you haven’t watched the show then I recommend it tremendously because it’s a great DVD. There were some mistake made by the MCs and the microphone; however, it’s still a great and amazing show.
