Episode 10 of "Anh Trai Vuot Ngan Chong Gai 2026" opens Performance 4 with the theme "Head in the sky, feet on the ground", evoking the image of men carrying responsibilities for themselves, their families and the community.
Unlike previous performances, the 6 teams no longer compete independently but are divided into 3 Alliances, entering 2 main rounds and 1 special round.
After a process of selection and consideration, 3 official Alliances were established including My Man - Nguyen To, Quy Tu - Benh Bong and Hop Luc - Ruc Ro.
Opening the vocal round (focusing on singing ability), Lien Lien Hop Luc - Ruc Ro brought to the stage "Finding the lullaby of the Sun Goddess". Thanh Duy, Dinh Manh Ninh, Trinh Thang Binh and Thai VG together built the image of people guarding the light, performing the ritual of awakening the Sun in a space imbued with the color of the great forest culture.
The highlight of the performance lies in the ending when Hoang Rob appears with the violin. Hoang Rob not only performs but also takes on the task of building ideas for both performances of the Alliance in performance 4.
After the performance, Trinh Thang Binh burst into tears of emotion. He shared that after 3 years he could stand on stage and enjoy every moment, thanks to the companionship of Dinh Manh Ninh and his colleagues.
As a result, Hop Luc - Ruc Ro received 2,580 points.
If the opening performance was generous, Quy Tu - Benh Bong chose a completely opposite space to the "Gray Zone". The stage was built like a mist in the middle of the moonlit night, telling about the boys still trapped in the shadow of an unforgettable person.
The song is R&B mixed with Pop, requiring the singer to handle it softer and more restrainedly. This becomes a challenge for Ho Dong Quan and Thai Le Minh Hieu, two members who are familiar with youthful and modern energy.
Hoang Ton directly supported the two juniors in the training process, from how to pronounce words, control the voice to putting emotions into each line of the song. Ho Dong Quan himself decided to participate in both rounds with the desire to improve his score.
In episode 10, the most attention-grabbing performance in terms of story is "The Sad Drop Left Behind" by American Man - Nguyen To Alliance. Dong Hung, Ha An Huy, Cheng, Thuan Nguyen and Toki Thanh Tho transform into five different selves, facing the disease of amnesia.
The idea proposed by Thuan Nguyen created a different direction for the song. Instead of the story of a person missing their lover to the point of suffering, the character in the performance falls into tragedy when gradually losing the memory of the name of the person they once loved.
Thuan Nguyen also takes on the responsibility of building the character line and the story. The members must combine singing and acting to express each stage as the character's memories gradually disappear. He and his colleagues shed tears when expressing the character's psychology.
The surge of emotion comes from the story of forgetfulness itself: things that were once very familiar can become strange, even disappear from memory.
After the three performances of the first round, Quy Tu - Benh Bong Alliance won the highest number of votes, thereby having the advantage to enter the next round.
In round two, the Alliances must build performances combining music and stories based on three familiar images of Vietnamese culture: Lac Long Quan - Au Co, Thanh Giong and Thach Sanh.
Performance 4 also has a special round called "Call of the Brave" with the song "Dai Khai Hoan". The winner can defend a member of the House from the qualifying round.
