Vote for Favorite Song and MV Category: Not easy to choose

The fact that each category has 4-5 candidates makes it difficult to cover the entire Vietnamese music market in the past year, but these works are all outstanding and leave an impression.

The "Most Favorite Song" category includes the following works: "Drum Rice" (Northern folk song; performed by Nha Sao Sang), "If Only" (composed and performed by Soobin Hoang Son), "Mother Loves Child" (composed by musician Nguyen Van Ty; performed by Nha Tinh Hoa), "Thuan Nuoc Pushes the Boat" (composed by ST Son Thach, Thanh Hung, Andiez; performed by ST Son Thach) and "Hao Quang" (composed by Rhyder Quang Anh; performed by Rhyder, Phap Kieu, Duong Domic).

Young people's creativity

Among them, "Drum Rice" - performed by Nha Sao Sang, including People's Artist Tu Long, Soobin Hoang Son, and Cuong Seven - is one of the highly appreciated songs in the program "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai".

Song "Drum Rice"

After only 4 days of broadcasting, this performance had more than 1.6 million views, becoming the first video of the show to reach the top 1 Trending Music on YouTube. The performance was creative when combining folk melodies, rap and R&B. Artist Tu Long and the singers in the group composed an additional rap and wrote new lyrics but did not lose the familiar melody of "Trông cốm". Throughout the performance, the image of the boys wearing Ao Dai and Turban, dancing to the sound of drums created a heroic and powerful atmosphere.

Song "I love you"

Musician Vo Thien Thanh said that "Drum Rice" is a typical product of the trend of renewing Vietnamese folk music, combined with contemporary music genres, which is "encouraging". According to musician Nguyen Ngoc Thien, this performance is trendy, clearly demonstrating the creativity of young people with core cultural products of the nation.

"The performance ended with Soobin Hoang Son's monochord and a festival scene filled with flags. The charming, accented voice of People's Artist Tu Long; the multi-talented, enthusiastic voice of Soobin Hoang Son and the "fiery" spirit of Cuong Seven created an impressive performance for the program" - Meritorious Artist Anh Tuyet commented.

Song "Go with the flow"

Singer - MC Quynh Hoa gave many compliments to the composition "Mother loves child" by musician Nguyen Van Ty through the version performed by Nha Tinh Hoa (including Cuong Seven, Tu Long, Bang Kieu, Phan Dinh Tung, Tuan Hung, Truong The Vinh, Jun Pham, ST Son Thach, BB Tran, Soobin Hoang Son, Kay Tran, Trong Hieu).

"It was a performance that brought tears to the eyes of the audience because of the overwhelming emotions from the performance to the staging" - MC Quynh Hoa commented. Meanwhile, musician Nguyen Ngoc Thien said that through the performance of the 12 "talents", the song has a new version that is sophisticated, meticulous in every detail and touches the hearts of the listeners.

Song "Halo"

The song "Thuận nước phát luận cầu" also has a folk feel in both melody and lyrics. ST Son Thach said: "I have mixed many musical instruments and art forms in this song. The song is about the love story of a young man and a young woman. The young man leaves for his great ambition, hoping that the girl can "wait for me to return with glory to build love in this world". This song is not sentimental at all, but on the contrary, very heroic, full of determination".

Meanwhile, "If Only" is not a song that Soobin Hoang Son composed recently. In 2020, he posted a demo of the song and received a lot of support from the audience. After nearly 4 years, he joined hands with SlimV to remix the song and "If Only" was officially released.

The song “If Only” (also a candidate for “Most Favorite MV”)

With "Hao quang" by Rhyder Quang Anh performed by him, Phap Kieu, and Duong Domic, this is one of the performances worth watching on the show "Anh trai say hi". "Hao quang" achieves harmony from music to choreography.

Soobin Hoang Son has many opportunities

As one of the four nominees for the "Most Favorite MV (Music Video)" category at the 30th Mai Vang Awards 2024, "Rise Up Under Dog" (composed by: Strong Trong Hieu, Scott Quinn, SaGan; directed by: LUAN; performed by: Strong Trong Hieu) received many compliments. Musician Vo Thien Thanh commented: "This is an MV with modern music, catching up with the level of world pop music. The MV's content is quite positive and inspiring."

MV “Rise Up Under Dog”,

As the only singer present in 3 voting categories: "Most favorite male singer - rapper", "Most favorite song" and "Most favorite MV", Soobin Hoang Son with the MV "If only" stands a good chance of winning. "If only" (composed by: Soobin Hoang Son; directed by: Lam Dao Dao; performed by: Soobin Hoang Son) has artistically arranged scenes with the scene of a young man blaming himself alone in the pouring rain. After this climax scene is the climax that is handled quite perfectly on the stage set with impressive appearance and performance skills that are his forte.

MV "To my future husband"

"Gội chồng tương lai" (composer: Trang Pháp; director: Gin Trần; performer: Trang Pháp) is a music video in collaboration with JSOL, with sweet melodies and lyrics, like the author's wishes for couples in the wedding season. Trang Pháp revealed that recently, she wanted to find new flavors for her music. Right from the first notes, "Gội chồng tương lai" impressed with its youthful energy. This music video was filmed entirely in Europe with bright, romantic scenes.

MV "54 Vietnamese ethnic groups"

Compared to the candidates in the voting list of the same category, the MV "54 Vietnamese Ethnic Groups" (composer: Phuc Anh; director: Vu Hong Thang; performer: Phuc Anh) has a lower spread. Singer Phuc Anh is also somewhat inferior to the names of the remaining candidates. However, this MV has left a lot of sympathy with the audience.

In "54 Vietnamese Ethnic Groups", Phuc Anh stands out with her simple appearance. Standing next to her are highland children, wearing flowers on their heads and smiling brightly. That shows the singer's connection with the children. In this MV, the presence of Nong Thuy Hang - Miss Ethnic Groups of Vietnam - also contributes to creating a highlight for the work.

Experts say that the candidates in both categories have certain unique features and values. "Therefore, it is difficult to decide which one to choose" - musician Nguyen Ngoc Thien wondered.
