BTC is upset because Anh Tho canceled the show at the last minute.
On May 12, Mr. Nguyen Cong Khang - Head of the Organizing Committee of the program "Ví, Giặm Source" indignantly announced the absence of singer Anh Thơ in the performance on May 14, 2023, at the Vietnam-Soviet Friendship Cultural Palace (Hanoi).
"The source of Vi and Giam" - a music night honoring 5 musicians from Nghe An with the participation of famous singers and artists: Thanh Lam, Pham Phuong Thao, Tien Lam, Duc Long, Bui Le Man, Huyen Trang...
It is known that this is a program to portray the artistic portraits of 5 talented musicians from Nghe An: Nguyen Van Ty, Nguyen Tai Tue, Hong Dang, Nguyen Trong Tao and An Thuyen.
According to Mr. Khang, while most singers accepted with spirit, emotion, served with all their heart and did not take any remuneration, Anh Tho's side offered a fee that the organizers found difficult to accept. Therefore, the organizers decided to invite another singer to replace her.
Two days later, Anh Tho's side informed again, confirming that she would participate in the performance in the program. The program's organizers calculated and according to the wishes of the musician's family, they chose Anh Tho to participate in singing the song by musician Nguyen Trong Tao with the song "Khuc hat song que" - the song that has raised the wings, reputation, and fame of this female singer to this day.
Anh Tho also had time to practice, record, and match music with the program during this time.
"At the last minute - that is, on the afternoon of May 11, Anh Tho called to explain all the reasons for this absence to perform in another location. We respect the singer's decision. Without Anh Tho, we had another singer to replace her so the program was not affected at all.
However, if there were no musician Nguyen Tai Tue with "Xa Khoi", no "Khuc Hat Song Que" by musician Nguyen Trong Tao... then surely there would not be a famous and successful Anh Tho in the artistic path like now?
Not to mention the problem that the musicians who compose immortal songs that last through the years are poor, while the singers who perform those songs are rich, have high incomes, and everyone knows about them," Mr. Khang was upset.
Anh Tho admits mistake for wrong schedule
Giao thong newspaper contacted singer Anh Tho to clarify the matter. The female singer admitted her mistake because she heard and saw the wrong schedule, so she accepted the program "Mach nguon Vi, Giam" (Hanoi) and a program in Ha Nam on the same night.
Singer Anh Tho apologizes for not participating in the music night "Vì, Giặm Sources" due to a performance schedule mistake.
"On the afternoon of May 11, the makeup artist called to inform me of the schedule, and I was shocked to realize that I had made a mistake. Immediately after that, I called the program organizing team in Ha Nam to arrange and find a way to help me perform in Hanoi.
But because the program in Ha Nam is also an important program, they tried but could not change it. After that, I called the organizers of "Mach nguon Vi, Giam" to explain and apologize sincerely, hoping for the organizers' help.
Finally, the organizers agreed and asked me to pay back the ticket price and other expenses. I'm glad that the organizers sympathized and helped me," Anh Tho explained.
Regarding the matter of "demanding" high salaries, the female singer affirmed that she was not "acting up".
"At first, the organizers asked me what my salary was, and I answered exactly as I was being paid. But the organizers said the budget was only 10 million VND, so I still accepted and enthusiastically completed the tasks assigned by the organizers.
This incident happened unexpectedly. I am very sorry and apologize to the organizers as well as all the audiences, especially the Nghe An audiences, those who love the 5 musicians and especially apologize to the musicians' families," singer Anh Tho confided.
