In the 2 performances, Phuong My Chi brought the Sing! final! Asia, "Lac troi" with Hoang Linh have not created a highlight like "Chopstick".
Chopstick is considered a unique idea, the female singer sings in many languages and sends a message about connection and national unity between countries through the folk tale of Vietnam's clubs.
Chopstick has all the elements of a final performance. Phuong My Chi and DTAP have shown how Vietnamese literature can bring abundant ideas and power to music.
If Chopstick helps Phuong My Chi create an impression with ideas and messages, Lac lo is somewhat inferior to Phuong My Chi in previous competitions.
Lac troi is a song composed by Son Tung M-TP and released in 2017. At the time of release, "Lac troi" was embroiled in controversy, especially regarding the images shown in the MV.
Son Tung in ancient costumes but wearing sneakers, or unclear singing style, the message of the lyrics... all caused "Lac thi" to be embroiled in countless controversies. It was the controversy that brought the appeal and the record of views and listens for Lac Gio at that time. After 8 years, the MV Lac Doi is now attracting 279 million views.
Despite the controversy, no one can deny the catchy, easy-to-listen, and easy-to-listen melody of Lac troi. Son Tung collaborated with producer Triple D to mix "Lac troi" in the Future Bass style. The song combines folk music such as xin luong, flute with electronic music, bringing novelty and strangeness.
"Lac troi" is widely loved by the audience and has been covered by many artists in the profession. It is not uncommon for Phuong My Chi to choose "Lac troi" to turn this song into one of the 2 performances competing in the Sing! final! Asia.
On Sing stage! Asia, Phuong My Chi and DTAP created a new mix for the high-profile female voice of "Lac Gio". In the duet "Lac troi", both Phuong My Chi and Hoang Linh showed off their high, bright voices, and catchy melodies, however, the overall performance did not have many highlights.
The new mix of Lac troi with the rap part being deleted from the studio sound. Meanwhile, ver rap (rap part) is a unique highlight of the original "Lac troi". The new mix also lost the mysterious and strange atmosphere that Son Tung and Triple D once brought.
The vocal and high notes were impressively performed by Phuong My Chi in previous competitions such as "Bong Phuong Hoa" or "Tuy Am - Luc Hai Vi Vuong". The handling of Lac troi in the performance style like Bong bot hoa partly reduces the uniqueness of Son Tung M-TPs original song.
Phuong My Chi, born in 2003, is a typical face of the younger generation of singers. Son Tung M-TP's full name is Nguyen Thanh Tung, born in 1994 in Hung Yen. He has always been considered the "A-list choreographer" most in the Vietnamese music market for many years.
