Musician Dong Thien Duc is one of the prominent young faces of Vietnamese music in recent years.
His name is associated with many hit songs such as "Who chung tinh duoc mai", "Ngay mai nguoi ta chong", "Khoa lyric", "Sao cung duoc", "Mot run Viet Nam"...
From a programmer, Dong Thien Duc became a hit maker (the owner of many hot songs). The musician born in 1987 received many invitations to collaborate with famous singers.
At this time, AI is creating a "fever" by entering the field of music, composing and singing with many songs that attract attention in the Vietnamese online community such as AI singing rock-style Trinh music, AI singing "Say a lifetime for you" attracting millions of views on YouTube and creating trends on many platforms.
Many opinions say that AI singing is not as good as real people, and some people feel "more interested in listening to AI singing than humans".
Regarding controversial issues about AI music, musician Dong Thien Duc shared his opinion: "Actually, I have been using AI in composition for a long time. Because for an IT enthusiast, AI is a universe that expands the boundaries of music.
However, I immediately realized: what AI gave us in those 30 seconds was not necessarily a song.
A song composed contains both love, human emotions and many things. In the harmony of melodies and lyrics filled with sadness and joy, there are steps through life with reverses, sunshine, rain, black, white...
And we can't sit and edit another soulless song at our request, after editing it, we hear it again... very "deformed".
The musician commented that AI development is an inevitable thing in the history of human development. He said "we should be happy because AI brings many new colors to life". Among them, many people happily and joyfully shared songs that they "composed by themselves from AI".
Of course, because they are not professional people or just music listeners who are curious about exploring. As for those who do art, please don't!), the musician emphasized.
Musician Dong Thien Duc said that he gave this opinion in an article by Thomas Tam Nguyen - husband of singer Hong Ngoc, also a show organizer, talking about AI music.
Thomas Tam Nguyen affirmed that AI can create hits, but cannot replace the heart, loneliness, strife and real emotions of artists.
Today, AI can make music very quickly, even a few songs become big hits (very famous songs). But for me, that never overshines the value of genuine musicians. Behind each song they write, it is not only the melody and lyrics... but the real emotions, the nights in the lights, the tears falling in the closed room. A musical work is sometimes traded for the trembling heart, blood and loneliness of an artist, Hong Ngocs husband shared.
Tam Nguyen said he likes to listen to the song "Say a life for you" but he does not listen to it repeatedly, not because the song is not good, but because in his heart he always appreciates the compositions of real musicians.
Therefore, for him, songs like "Diem Xua", "Nhu Co Mot troi", "Pho Nhat", "Anh co du em" ... are works that touch the hearts of listeners, not because of technique but because of emotion.
