Singer Nguyen Ngoc Anh

- What do you want to say in the program "Music Path, in today's position?

With the theme “My Dream”, I want to share how my musical dream was formed and developed. At each different stage, each encounter on that path brought me what, from when I was a little girl until today. I am excited about this show because I get to show my gratitude to my teachers, colleagues, relatives, audiences… and also talk about my journey and new aspirations in my career.

The program is also a milestone in my career, marking a new artistic journey with many experiences and discoveries... in the coming time.

- Is there anything that makes you hesitate and confused during your years of working?

I used to think about the values ​​I created, my works and how long they existed in life, measured in years or long into the future. Will my works ever become outdated and fall into oblivion?

I believe that music is like literature, its longevity is more important than becoming a hit, being popular for a while and then disappearing. I am lucky to have songs that have lasted for more than ten years. I don't know how long they will last, but I consider that an achievement in my career.

I wish that each artist will have their own special products. Works that mark the times and have historical value. Abroad, I sometimes see artists still doing Great Hit programs, honoring old valuable works. I also hope to do similar things one day.

- What do the gains and losses in life and career over the past time mean to you?

I came to this life as an artist, so the gains and losses in life actually don’t have much meaning. I don’t regret anything that has passed, because what will come will come. With the innocent eyes of an artist, I enjoy this life every day.

For me, joy, sadness and loss are beautiful experiences. I only regret when I sing badly or when I perform unsuccessfully. I always keep my mind at ease to enter the temple of music.

- Is it short-sighted when I sometimes think of you as a bit "superstitious" and extreme?

I think 95% of girls in the arts are "psychics", meaning that there are times when their emotions are excessive and have a wider range than normal people. As for being extreme? I think artists should be extreme, being too easygoing is not good. You have to have personality to leave your mark in life and don't let criticism make you lose your ego and personality. Don't chase after things that don't belong to you.

- In your life and career, it seems like there has never been a lack of men. What do they bring to you?

I think people will find what they lack. When I am feminine, I am attracted to sincere, decent, and gentlemanly men. I do not like petty people. Therefore, if someone understands me, they will play with me for a long time, otherwise they will not last long. In music, I have teachers and older brothers such as musicians Do Hoa An, Do Bao, Tan Minh… who all pamper, respect, and love me like a younger sister. They are noble, ignoring my bad things to maintain a long-lasting relationship.

- You are a dynamic, strong woman. I used to think that after a broken marriage, with that personality, even as a single mother, you could still be happy in your own way?

I think that any gender needs to be in a couple to be happy. That is also everyone's dream. There were times when I was alone and not very happy, it was just a challenge of life that I had to accept. Now, when I am with my man, I find life really relaxing and comfortable. I am happy!

- You have two daughters, you dream of having a son to have a complete family?

I have never wished for a son. My biggest dream is a peaceful family, healthy and obedient children, that is enough. For me, having two daughters is also wonderful. Later, if I have a son, I will happily accept it, if not, it is okay.

- As an experienced person, you must have learned some lessons to teach your children not to follow in your footsteps, to enjoy happiness proactively and fully?

Children today are different from us in the past. I also have many moments of hesitation, however, with my love, sincerity and experience, I only guide them to good things. As for parents, their children are born with their own personalities, it is difficult to impose and I also think that we should not impose our generation's views and thoughts on our children.
