Right in the opening episode, Runner-up Quoc Tri surprised the audience when he chose to tell the story of the land where he was born and raised through music.
Originally a Western guy, A Quoc Tri showed off his sweet voice with the song "Dong Thap que minh" (composed by Son Ha). He also cleverly combines chants and Rap recitals on stage, bringing excitement to the audience.
Notably, in his performance, Quoc Tri cleverly gave the judges gifts from the countryside such as lotus flowers, nem, fruits... The runner-up did not hesitate to admit that he came to Tinh Bolero 2025 with the desire to win.
I really like Bolero and folk music. I also know that I am not outstanding when singing this music genre. But in the opening performance, I wanted to bring the authenticity of the country guy to the stage to introduce to the audience the warmth of the people of the West. I have "sold out" a phen and hope to have completed my competition" - Quoc Tri shared.
Judge Ba Thang also praised the performance of contestant Quoc Tri. The male judge even suggested asking for a beat for this performance because he especially liked it.
Reuniting with director Vu Thanh Vinh in the program, Runner-up Quoc Tri could not help but be moved. He said that 4 years ago, on the stage of Sen Vang, he also learned many things from the director of the film Hai Muoi.
Meritorious Artist Vu Thanh Vinh shared that he was very impressed with Quoc Tri's journey from head receptionist to artistic director.
If Quoc Tri wants to pursue singing for a long time, I think you should learn more about vocal music. You can also develop on the condition that you are never satisfied with what you have" - Meritorious Artist Vu Thanh Vinh advised.
Continuously trying his hand at many different roles, the runner-up said that experiencing a new field, although there are many challenges and risks, Quoc Tri believes this is a necessary journey to perfect himself and conquer the image of a versatile artist in the hearts of the audience.
Quoc Tri said that in every journey, he sets goals for himself to try. However, above all, it is still the story of what you learn from the program, not letting yourself get too pressured.
For me, the judges comments, even if they are strict, will be valuable lessons for the journey ahead, Quoc Tri said.
Regarding switching to singing, Quoc Tri hopes to be versatile when working in the arts. In each role, he hopes the audience will remember him for his constant efforts.
