As one of the teams receiving a lot of attention, captain HIEUTHUHAI and members Anh Tu Atus, Erik, and Jsol faced many disadvantages from the start.
Because they were "beat" in the games in the previous episode, they lost their advantage in song selection. Erik's team's song "Ngo Ngoc" is considered not "easy to listen to" because the city pop music genre (urban-style music originating from Japan in the 1970s) is new. The four guys themselves have to admit that the process of producing, dividing lines, and editing the song was quite stressful.
Because this is the most difficult song to vary and must be done to make the members' harmony the most perfect. In addition, the captain's "bad luck" was extended again when HIEUTHUHAI continued to draw for the first performance position.
The song's melody is somewhat gentle, there are no climaxes, but that doesn't make "Ngo Ngoc" boring.
The choreography in each member's singing part is very complicated and difficult to perform, but in the chorus, it has been calibrated simply so that fans can easily follow along.
Erik explains the meaning of the song to lead listeners into the story of a boy who is "stupid" when he falls in love. After falling in love, his world becomes boring and monochromatic.
During practice, male singer Erik tried very hard when team leader HIEUTHUHAI assigned him the responsibility of taking on the rap part in this song.
Both Erik, Anh Tu Atus and Jsol had to be outside their comfort zone because the members' roles were changed to be different from their strengths.
The two main vocalists are Erik and Jsol, who switched to rapping and also rapping difficult melodies, and Anh Tu Atus had to take on the challenge of reaching high notes.
After the first attempt did not go as expected, Erik shared that he felt the same pressure when HIEUTHUHAI assigned him the responsibility of performing this rap performance.
Ironically, Erik's rap lyrics are also very long and change continuously, so he seriously practiced the flow (the way a rapper interacts with the beat of the music), the rhythm to be as stable as possible, until Only rapper HIEUTHUHAI will accept it.
Both also agreed that "it's time for Erik to change" and overcome himself so that the audience can see the most different aspects. Erik is gradually perfecting himself to become a versatile "older brother", Can both perform, sing and rap well, and be able to master all difficult choreography.
MC Tran Thanh commented that I don't dare stand close because this team is so beautiful, everyone shines. On social networks, there are pictures of the 4 "older brothers" of Ngao family. Groups and fanpages believe that the program is for this group to debut.
Not only that, the audience watching Anh Say Hi also predicted that the team Anh Tu Atus, Erik, Jsol and HIEUTHUHAI would win top 1 and top 2 in this round.
