In recent days, "Anh Trai Vuot Ngan Chong Gai" has faced noise and outrage from fans.
On July 7, Ms. Ngo Thi Van Hanh - general director of the program and CEO of Yeah1 - said that the recent incident was "a fall" of the crew, and she herself felt shocked when the Yeah1 communication team made a serious mistake.
At the media meeting, CEO Van Hanh burst into tears, repeatedly apologizing to artists and audiences.
In the past few days, articles on Threads have been a breeding ground for controversy about the objectivity and transparency of the results of the reunion performance.
After the Biet Doi group reappeared including Duy Khanh, Neko Le, Jun Pham, Thanh Duy, BB Tran winning against the talented Anh team, many people expressed outrage and said that the audience present at the studio voted emotionally.
BB Tran, Jun Pham and Duy Khanh successively occupying the top 3 and overwhelming in personal voting scores like the last straw, making the fan community of season 2 artists even more dissatisfied.
At one point, the number of articles about Neko Le's performance reached more than 1 million views and discussions. Duy Khanh also received attacks from the audience for his sensitive statements and solo performance in the program.
Amidst the storm, Duy Khanh even had to speak out to confirm that he would not withdraw from the program as some information was spread.
In the new season, there are 300 audiences voting directly at the studio, holding the "power of life and death" of 33 artists. However, they are selected through registration with the organizers, without artistic evaluation expertise.
From there, the way the audience in the studio votes becomes a loophole in the program. When no one controls the transparency of the votes, the artists themselves become the ones at the forefront, receiving all criticism.
Older brothers overcoming thousands of obstacles season 2 airs with the advantage of inheriting the success from season 1, being supported and spread by the beloved audience of season 1.
However, right from episode 1, when NSND Tu Long said that season 1 had "spread roses" for season 2 talents to shine and continue to develop, this sharing received many mixed opinions.
From here, the audience began to polarize, one side was the audience watching season 2 with confidence in the cast of artists with good musical expertise, the other side were those who loved season 1 and "overcame obstacles" to bring the program to explosive success.
The contrast is shown through the opposite reactions of the audience to the performances of "The Returning Squad". In season 1, "Tinh Anh Ban Chieu" from a solo song was developed, expanded, increased the number of performing artists and became a typical performance in 9 concert nights.
But when the concept, material, and color were applied in season 2, the artists received a lot of criticism and malicious comments, because they had won big against the "talented brothers" of the new season.
The first performance of season 2 with 43 performances should have received worthy attention but was overshadowed by fierce debates on social networks.
Storms rushed in, causing not only the audience to be tense, but also making the artists of both seasons and the organizers flustered and confused.
Now, the path of overcoming obstacles for the 33 artists of season 2 is no longer paved with roses. To repeat the 9-night concert miracle, artists - crew - audiences must do what season 1 did very successfully, which is to become a united and unified bloc.
