After artist Vu Linh passed away, Hong Loan became more known to the public through her personal life sharing and activities to commemorate her adoptive father.
Recently, she has started appearing on some music stages, tea rooms and small events, trying her hand at the role of singer. This quickly became a topic of discussion on social networks.
In which, she continuously accepts fair and loto shows in the Mekong Delta provinces, Ho Chi Minh City... Hong Loan often performs familiar songs with rhythm and simple techniques to compensate for her limited vocal technique.
However, many clips are shared by audiences on social networking platforms, including performances in the program "Southern Love 3" causing much controversy.
Accordingly, Hong Loan does not come from a professional singing training environment, her voice is still limited in technique, so public performance easily causes comparisons and mixed reactions.
In many performance clips, she has repeatedly lost her breath, her voice is out of rhythm and her stage improvisation ability is poor. Even some viewers think that Hong Loan's voice is not suitable for performing singers, only singing karaoke for fun with relatives and friends.
Some viewers believe that if there is no connection with artist Vu Linh, Hong Loan's step onto the music stage may be difficult to receive such great attention as it is now.
In addition, the fact that Hong Loan sings non-professionally, but on many posters her name is attached with the words "Vu Linh's beauty" or "artist" also causes much controversy. Accordingly, for many audiences, the title of artist is someone who has been active in the profession for many years and has made many contributions to art. While Hong Loan has only sung in some fair shows but has been "approved" as an artist somewhat excessively.
In the opposite direction, there are also many opinions that trying her hand at singing is a personal right, as long as Hong Loan is not compared to big names in the profession. Some people think that she is in the early stages, needing more time to improve her skills and shape a suitable path.
Regarding switching to singing, Hong Loan once shared that singing came to her naturally, stemming from her love of music and the desire to have more opportunities to work and stabilize her life. She also said that she does not set an ambition to become a star, but only sees singing as a new direction to challenge herself.
However, in the context of her name being associated with artist Vu Linh - a big symbol of Cai Luong stage, Hong Loan's every move is easily put on the public's judging panel. The controversy therefore not only lies in the professional story, but also related to the expectations, emotions and feelings that the audience has for the late artist.
