According to Chinese media, the 2nd performance round of the "Swing the Wind" program shows a clear differentiation between contestants. If the early stage was "warming up", then by this time, many "billionaires" (i.e., beautiful sisters, participating artists) have gradually found their own form and identity on stage.
In the "Luyen Ai Phich" group, Trang Phap and An Ky are highly appreciated. In which, Trang Phap is predicted by the Chinese media as a candidate for the championship title.
Because Trang Phap and An Ky created a clear highlight thanks to their outstanding dance ability for their performance. Smart staging, knowing how to take advantage of the strengths of each member makes the performance more eye-catching, while reducing pressure for weaker voices.
Meanwhile, the "Bonbon Girls" stage attracted attention thanks to its entertainment element. Duong Nghe Han's performance quickly spread on social networks, especially the rap part widely shared by the audience. This is also evidence of the trend of choosing songs that easily create "trends" of the program, in order to increase spread outside the television framework.
Some other performances showed the progress of the contestants. Tran Khai Lam gradually became more confident, while Ha Tuyen Lam scored points in high notes. However, the increased intensity of dance also became a big challenge for many people, especially contestants without a background in dance.
On the "Thân thân" stage, Tôn Di impressed with her bright demeanor, while Diệp Nhất Thiến still did not create a clear highlight. The "Lãnh dạ" group has an ancient costume color, with a stable vocal performance by Lý Tâm Khiết. However, the elimination of contestant Đào Hân Nhiên made many viewers regretful.
Notably, the captain's performance with the song "The Longest Song" was highly appreciated for its emotions. An Ky showed clear progress, while Ly Tam Khiet continued to maintain stable form.
In the remaining stages, "Đạt La Bồng Ba" brings a new musical color, while "Cô đơn bán cầu" although renewed still finds it difficult to escape the shadow of the original. "Thiên chương" again impresses with emotion, with the outstanding voice of Tăng Bái Từ.
After two performance rounds, many names were mentioned as candidates for the championship. Among them, besides Trang Phap, An Ky, Vuong Mong is a special case when she not only has personal appeal but also owns a personal story, easily creating a media effect. The combination of entertainment elements and the image of a "champion" can become a big advantage for her in the next journey.
However, the race still has many variables. With a format that emphasizes both stage and popularity, the final result depends not only on expertise but also on the spread of each contestant.
