Singer Uyen Linh's prayer

When singing "Forgiveness", Uyen Linh asks for forgiveness from everyone, wishing to resolve all the problems about herself in others - the lifestyle the singer is aiming for at the age of 36.

Liveshow Uyen Linh - The Vocalist took place at Hoa Binh Theater, Ho Chi Minh City with a scale of about 2,000 spectators.

Familiar yet strange

The stage is simple with stairs of black and white piano keys, the overall decoration as well as the LED effects are all inspired by crystals.

The live show was quite neat with about 25 songs, some of which Uyen Linh sang duets with Ha Anh Tuan, Quoc Thien and 2 guest singers sang solo.

The songs mainly review the milestones in Uyen Linh's musical career from Vietnam Idol 2010, the album Portrait to the program The Masked Singer 2022 but have not been arranged in layers or connected by any specific story line.

The guest singers' performances were not expensive. Quoc Thien sang Thieu em nhu troi dat mat sun, Gio cuon em di or Ha Anh Tuan sang Vai lan don dua, Hoang mang, which were mainly "home-grown" performances instead of new and surprising the audience.

In return, the audience gets to listen to good songs that Uyen Linh rarely performs: Sao chua ve voi em, Khoang khong, Xin chua em cho hoang hon ...

In the live show on the evening of November 10, Uyen Linh looked familiar yet strange. She still sang with the familiar passion and enthusiasm, but changed quite a bit in appearance, way of talking, and singing technique.

"Please keep me until the sunset" - Uyen Linh:

The singer is more beautiful, fashionable and "feminine". Her way of speaking is gentle, whispering, and her calm demeanor has completely replaced the "rough as a gangster" style (quoted by singer Ha Anh Tuan - PV) of the past.

Uyen Linh's singing technique also surprised listeners. When she left the Vietnam Idol 2010 contest, she was labeled "amateur, instinctive" in contrast to runner-up Van Mai Huong - Military University of Culture and Arts.

Contemporary press even exploited this contrast to highlight the victory of the instinctive singer over the formally trained singer; unintentionally leading to many prejudices.

The two guests showed contrasting styles: Ha Anh Tuan was friendly while Quoc Thien was elegant.

Currently, Uyen Linh has changed a lot in the way she handles her work. She has good control over her voice, knows how to moderate and transform her head voice and has mastered many difficult techniques.

Especially with the song Sao chang ve voi em - one of her marks at Vietnam Idol 2010, Uyen Linh impressed by continuously running notes, melisma and scat singing, creating a new, liberal and "jazzy" version.

The way she "plays" with her voice and her work seems to prove that she has conquered it - something that the instinctive Uyen Linh of 14 years ago had not yet fully done.

What is Uyen Linh aiming for?

Not every performance in Uyen Linh - The Vocalist is as standard and perfect as the singer herself commented.

Cafe Alone - Uyen Linh, Ha Anh Tuan

In this live show, Uyen Linh introduced 3 new songs including Lap dan, Tha thu and Nguoi van xin . When singing Tha thu , she attracted attention when she asked for forgiveness from everyone, wishing to resolve all the entanglements about herself in others - the lifestyle the singer is aiming for at the age of 36.

The three songs are characterized by being difficult to sing and not easy to feel at first listen, especially "Nguoi ban xin" with its intense, intense series of high notes at the end of the song.

Performing a song that "forced" her voice for the first time, Uyen Linh did not control it well, leading to her becoming more and more exhausted and losing her voice.

In contrast to the singer's somewhat shy attitude was the long applause and incredibly enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

Uyen Linh said Quoc Thien is more than love to her.

2,000 people at Hoa Binh Theater on the evening of November 9 showed their love and support for Uyen Linh throughout the show. They laughed with delight before she could "throw a piece", responding to her more enthusiastically than the A-list guest - Ha Anh Tuan.

While singing the song "Filled Up" , Uyen Linh expressed her gratitude to the audience for their presence, before that the ticket sales speed of the concert was surprising.

For most of the concert, Uyen Linh sang and interacted with the audience and guests, only performing choreography - a skill she learned from the 2023 "Beautiful Sister Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves" contest - in one performance as promised to the audience earlier.

However, Uyen Linh does not aim for the image of a versatile artist or a performing artist, but rather a vocalist - a singer who develops her voice and singing skills to the highest level and at the same time builds her personal brand from this factor; furthermore, a diva.

Uyen Linh chose the slow but sure path.

She has never hidden her ambition to build a unique and sustainable singing school, wanting to leave her mark in the history of Vietnamese music in the period 2010-2030.

To achieve this, Uyen Linh chose the slow but steady path, not following trends and commercializing herself. In addition, the singer maintains her brand - committing to singing live in all shows.

"If you don't plan your career path, no matter how passionate you are, it will be difficult to pursue the profession for more than 5 years," she said.

'Uyen Linh and Quoc Thien bought gold, stocks, and even land under their names' In a letter to her best friend of 14 years - singer Quoc Thien, Uyen Linh dedicated many emotional and heartfelt words.
