Recently, listeners have witnessed many times young singers singing old songs or veteran singers covering young songs, in which many songs were performed very impressively.
The clip of singer Quang Linh performing the song "Turn on love" with singer Pham Anh Duy at the program "Our Song - Our Song" is attracting many viewers on social networks. The audience is both excited and surprised when this star singer covers (sings again) pop music.
Fresh, creative
At "Our Song - Our Song", the audience can enjoy old hits with a new spirit. The next generation of singers in "Our Song - Our Song" are young, talented faces, highly appreciated for their powerful voices and are loved by a large audience. Through the combination of talented voices from two generations, "Our Song" brings back familiar songs in a new and creative way.
The songs that were once famous, bearing the mark of the previous generation of singers, are "dressed in new clothes" to blend in with the flow of modern music. Old musical stories are retold in a youthful, fresh color. The dedication of the "senior" singers also helps the next generation of singers, creating quality, trendy, and trend-setting musical products.

Phuong Linh and Le Quyen are familiar singers in the Vietnamese music industry. They have their own way of singing and performing a musical work that bears their own personal mark. With the song "Snow Rain", Le Quyen and Phuong Linh brought very unique and complete emotions.
Singer Ha Tran also attracted listeners through the work "East West South North" with an artistic stage production. "East West South North" is a pop ballad with Northern folk melodies, written by musician Tang Nhat Tue for Ai Phuong. This song tells the story of a girl running away from the troubles in life and the pain of a broken love.
While singer Ai Phuong chose to perform "Dong Tay Nam Bac" in a gentle, tender and soulful way, Ha Tran chose to sing strongly. There were many unique "floating" parts, making the version of "Phuong Hoang Lua" different from the original.
Lively, bustling
It is not uncommon for famous singers to cover (sing again) Vietnamese hits and there are many conflicting opinions. Audiences have often witnessed young singers covering old songs or star singers singing new songs, causing a stir in the online community.
The Vietnamese music scene is not lacking in controversial cover versions that surpass the original. This has helped make the Vietnamese music performance market more vibrant and bustling.
The cover video of "Cam Tu Cau" with Kieu Chi's voice has just caused a "storm", and was posted by this singer on both YouTube and TikTok platforms. The filming space is simple with only one camera angle, and the costumes are not elaborate. The listeners only focus on the singer's warm, clear voice.
Kieu Chi's "Cam Tu Cau" quickly became a trend on TikTok, used by many people in "virtual life so deep" videos or remixed into vibrant versions accompanied by choreography. This song also appeared on YouTube's Top Trending with nearly 10 million views - something any singer desires when releasing a new product.
Meanwhile, Thang's "Before I Existed" caused controversy. For indie fans, Thang is a name that "guarantees quality" but the general audience is still quite unfamiliar with this unique singer.
"Before I Existed" and "Sorry" are the two most "viral" songs in Thang's album "The First". To date, Thang's cover of "Before I Existed" has attracted 20 million views on YouTube and hundreds of thousands of clips using the audio on TikTok. The virality of this cover has made many people look for the original, but most of them only "listen to it once to know".
At this time, Ho Van Cuong is a young singer who is sought after from tea rooms to large music stages. Many audiences know Ho Van Cuong through his lyrical folk songs and profound bolero. Recently, this singer has made his mark by singing Chinese songs with Vietnamese lyrics. Among them, "Tinh xua nghia cu" (a hit by Jimmii Nguyen) performed by Ho Van Cuong has received many compliments from listeners.
The Vietnamese music market has received many new things when the generation of Gen Z singers continuously broke through with many genres and "imported" musical materials, but gentle ballads are still loved by the audience. Many people still prefer this music genre and that is the reason why a series of cover versions overshadow the original, at the same time many singers choose the safe path of performing ballad love songs to easily approach the audience.
"The problem is not whether listeners like cover music or not, but mainly that they like the gentle melody of ballads" - musician Nguyen Hong Thuan acknowledged.
According to musician Quoc An, familiar songs that are covered will evoke many memories and emotions in the listener. With Vietnamese music, new creations are still encouraged. If the cover is accompanied by appropriate creativity, the song will be more attractive.
