One week after the finale of "Brother Say Hi" ended, the performance of "Ngao nghe" by Isaac, Anh Tu Atus, Hurrykng and Rhyder's team still received mixed opinions.
Because there was no pressure about ranking or comparing scores, Anh Tu Atus' team chose an energetic, vibrant song to end the journey.
However, the lyrics of "Ngao nghe" were criticized for being cliche and nonsense, for example, Isaac's opening and Hurrykng's rap like "Where are your hands? Put them up quickly. Where are your legs? Put them up now. Tilt your head to the left. Then to the right. Focus on listening to me. No one is bored", "I'm really over 20 years old, I've never seen a case like this. It's so annoying, so annoying"...
The song's lyrics constantly emphasize the idea of a "gentleman" who is defiant, always "crows" and has confidence in himself. This idea comes from the fact that all 4 members of the team were once team captains.
However, the provocative lyrics, filled with satirical nuances, make it difficult for listeners to feel the positive message from Atus and his teammates.
Not to mention, the melody and choreography of this stage were commented by the audience to be similar to the song "That That" by PSY and Suga. Some opinions called "Ngao ngha" the Vietnamese version of "That That" because of the similarities in the choreography of the chorus and the melody of the opening.
"It sounds like That That so it's catchy", "I want to learn the flashy, liberal style of That That but it's not there yet"... are comments from people who listened to "Ngao nghe" for the first time.
Besides, "Ngao nghe" also has a pre-chorus that is said to be quite similar to "Bang Bang Bang" (Big Bang), the ending part of the song is reminiscent of "Idol" (BTS)...
Many audiences expressed disappointment at the performance featuring Rhyder and Hurrykng - two strong names in production and composition.
Because, "Ngao Nghe" seems to revolve around Anh Tu Atus with lyrics that are full of "sarcasm", complacency and overconfidence.
Not long after its arrogance, this stage was continuously embroiled in controversy, suspected of plagiarism and borrowing ideas, making the final performance of Anh Tu Atus' team incomplete.
Meanwhile, "Star Rank A" by HIEUTHUHAI team and "First Love Too Much" by Quang Hung MasterD team are taking turns ranking 1-2 on YouTube trending in the music category.
Previously, some performances of "Brother Say Hi" were also suspected of plagiarism.
The performance "Waves Breaking the Shore" was criticized right from the premiere night because it had the same idea as the stage "The Whale Transforms into a Lonely Island" in "Produce Camp" (China) in 2021.
After that, the performance "Innocent Pain" by Duc Phuc, HIEUTHUHAI, and Cong Duong was also accused of "borrowing" the idea from the "Shangri-La" stage performed by The Boyz in the show "Road to Kingdom".
