Over the past few days, on music forums, the case of Mr. Gerard Richard Williams spending a large sum of money to buy the copyright to sing the song "Xin chau yeu thuong" from musician Minh Nhien has created many controversial opinions.
The majority asked, is a billionaire with a lot of money like Mr. Gerard Richard Williams "playing tricks" with singer Dam Vinh Hung? Because they are still in a long litigation related to the accident that caused Dam Vinh Hung to have to amputate some toes when performing at the private house of Bich Tuyen and her husband in early 2024.
When the lawsuit had not yet ended, and even escalated the tension, Mr. Gerard Richard Williams' purchase of the copyright of "Sorry for Love" so that Dam Vinh Hung could not sing this song made the audience think that the billionaire Bich Tuyen's husband was taking more steps to put Dam Vinh Hung in a difficult position.
However, on the other side of the debate, there are also opinions that Mr. Gerard Richard Williams bought the copyright of Sorry Love just because he loved this song too much. When they were still close, Mr. Gerard Richard Williams sang a duet with Dam Vinh Hung for the song "Xin loi yeu thuong", at that time, Dam Vinh Hung also introduced Mr. Gerard Richard Williams as a "big fan" of the male singer.
Bich Tuyen's billionaire husband also sang this song alone many times, filming a karaoke video at his home during the holidays.
In fact, throughout his career, singer Dam Vinh Hung has had many hits.
Right at the time of "fighting" with "Xin loi yeu thuong" in the early 2000s, Dam Vinh Hung also had a series of popular hits such as "Binh minh se di em di", " Tinh oi don ngu yen", "Say tinh", "Tieng gio xuan xao", "Vung troi binh an"... In addition to the hits associated with his name, Dam Vinh Hung also "covered" many famous songs and achieved his own success, such as: "Shoa tinh", "Thanh cit dong", "Nguoi di dau stre", "Sao em don don don quen", "Qua vang me"...
The loss of an old hit - associated with the early stages of his career has almost no impact on Dam Vinh Hung's current appearance. Musician Minh Nhien composed Xin pham tinh yeu in 2003-2004, and immediately sang Dam Vinh Hung, since then this song has been associated with Dam Vinh Hung for about 20 years.
As Dam Vinh Hung said at a recent press conference, without the hit song "Xin loi yeu thuong", he will have many other hits.
The fact that a singer can live a prosperous life, buy a car, buy a house thanks to a hit song is very familiar in the music industry.
The hit song is important in the career of any singer, especially young singers. When he first started his career, no one knew his name, just needing to have a song that was loved by a large audience - that singer "ran shows" tirelessly and became famous very quickly.
However, for veteran singers who have a long journey with music like singer Dam Vinh Hung, overcoming the shadow of success of old hits - is also a challenge - to always be new in the eyes of the audience.
