On the evening of July 13, episode 5 "The brother said hi" revealed the remaining performances of the competition night (livestage) 2.
After 8 performances, the 6 artists with the lowest individual scores had to stop early: Pham Anh Duy, Nicky, Cong Duong, Tage, Do Phu Qui, and Pham Dinh Thai Ngan.
In the first round of competition, the performance with the highest score was "Love Sand" by team HIEUTHUHAI with 387 points. In the second round of competition, the performance "Aura" ranked highest with 368 points.
HIEUTHUHAI team with 629.8 points is also the team with the highest score, the whole team is safe in the next round. The team of Negav, Issac and Song Luan had to part ways with some members.
Tage's elimination was a big shock to team captain Song Luan. Song Luan choked up: "I told Tage many times whether you believe me or not. Tage always replied that 'I believe, but who else can I trust'. Tage put his trust in me, yet... My emotions at that moment were broken, I felt very guilty in my position."
On the forums, many viewers were surprised when Cong Duong and Pham Anh Duy were eliminated. Because, Cong Duong had a good performance with "Catch me if you can", while Pham Anh Duy is considered to be the singer with the best technique on the show.
The fact that the "Catch me if you can" team ranked last in round 1 also caused a stir. On YouTube, this stage has exceeded 3 million views, reaching number 1 in the top of Trending Music.
According to the studio audience's evaluation, the performance with the highest views came in last, causing the team to lose members.
Many people think that the show somewhat favors HIEUTHUHAI, because "Love Sand", in addition to hot dance performances with female dancers and gathering stars with good looks, is not really impressive to convince viewers.
In episode 5, there were performances from 4 teams. In which, 2 teams have 4 members including: Gin Tuan Kiet, Thai Ngan, Hai Dang Doo and Lou Hoang (from team Isaac); group Song Luan, Anh Tu, Quang Trung, Captain (team leader is Song Luan). 2 3-member teams include: group Rhyder, Duong Domic, Phap Kieu (Negav team) and group Hurrykng, Hung Huynh, Quan AP (HIEUTHUHAI is the captain).
