From a famous TikToker with more than 3.2 million followers on this platform, Tun Pham surprised everyone when he announced that he would debut as a singer. Tun Pham's first music product is called "Tuna Tuna".
Audience disappointed
Originally a dancer, Pham Lich attracted attention when she entered the singing field, releasing her first music product called "La Anh". This is a cover version of the original song by Mong Nhien, rewritten with Vietnamese lyrics. The cover version became a hit on TikTok and her MV attracted more than 15 million views after a month. "La Anh" rose to fame thanks to the resonance of many factors. The chorus of "La Anh" became a trend, inserted into many videos on TikTok. Obviously, Pham Lich was also sought after by the show organizers because of the audience's reception. But when she appeared live on stage, the audience was disappointed with her singing voice, which still had many shortcomings.
With its easy-to-listen-to, easy-to-popular characteristics, TikTok has created a generation of beloved TikTok "singers". With modern recording techniques, the studio can turn an ordinary singer into an excellent one, many names are living thanks to this modern recording technique even though their voices are not special. We can mention some musical phenomena from TikTok such as Chu Thuy Quynh, Xuan Manh, Choco... who are called singers just because they have songs that "make waves" on TikTok.
Compared to the position of "phenomenon" and "idol" on social platforms, many TikTok singers when appearing live on stage have had to face mixed public opinions. When Chu Thuy Quynh brought her hit song to the big stage, she disappointed the audience when she handled the songs not as expected. Chu Thuy Quynh's shaky voice is completely different from the smooth, professional sound of the studio recording.
Xuan Manh is a "hot" TikToker (on social media, he has more than 500,000 followers who love his voice) but was eliminated in the first round of the show "The Voice 2023".
Or Hooligan is not a strange name to young music lovers. Hooligan rose to fame with songs with strong European and American influences such as "To The Moon", "Song for Darling"... loved by many young people. Most of the audience praised Hooligan's standard English pronunciation and free-spirited singing style. However, when appearing on stage, Hooligan's real voice made many audiences surprised. The "floating" quality in the audio version had disappeared, replaced by a voice that was out of tune and out of breath.

Just have fun but not too much fun
Public opinion is upset, even worried about the mushrooming of online singers with large gaps in expertise, many voices claiming to be singers after just one short song on the TikTok platform.
These singers, when stepping off the TikTok stage, mumbled when singing live and had poor stage presence. According to experts, everyone has the right to sing, make clips and post them on social platforms. It is normal for friends to compliment and encourage them. But don't think that just because someone compliments you, you have the ability. The audience is very fair, if you call yourself a singer, you must really have the ability.
"There is no "magic" that can fool the audience forever, so if you want to become a singer, listen to sincere advice from experts. Practice diligently, be progressive, and equip yourself with full musical knowledge to become a sincere and talented singer" - singer Thuy Dung, lecturer at the Vietnam National Academy of Music, expressed her opinion.
To be fair, besides entertaining social media music products, there are still many music products by talented singers - real vocalists - that are well received, affirming the artists' position with the audience.
Previously, the number of talented singers with good voices and formal vocal training was almost inferior to idol artists in the race for the number of viewers, listeners on platforms, and positions in the top trending.
But now, talented singers have made breakthroughs with trend-setting songs, such as the project "Love Journey" by singer Vo Ha Tram, which is a testament to the balance between professionalism and commercialism. Diverse in performance style, singer Thu Minh also brings impressive music products. The investment in music products by vocalists recently has made the music market more vibrant, bringing more quality choices to the audience.
The success of singers like Thuy Chi, Den Vau, Thu Ha, Duong Hoang Yen, Tien Tien, Phan Manh Quynh, Nguyen Ha, Phung Khanh Linh, Bui Lan Huong... and many other singers is enough to make us believe that true art always has lasting vitality.
Music is perhaps the most diverse field, where artists have the right to choose their own direction. Some choose to use gimmicky communication methods, while others want to bring the audience a pure musical space. But as always, only core values can retain the audience for a long time.
Insiders believe that to be a professional singer, one must have ability, practice, and professional pride. TikTok can only help someone become famous with a short piece of music, but for the audience, they need to listen to the song completely, sing it with the singer's voice and emotions.
