New disaster of Vietnamese music

Young singer Do Phu Qui received heavy criticism from the audience for his product "Pickleball". The song's Visualizer on YouTube received 24,000 dislikes.

Current dislikes Pickleball accounting for 77% of the total number of likes/dislikes on YouTube. It has been a long time since Vietnamese music has had a song that has caused so much outrage. Of the more than 2,000 comments, the majority are criticisms. The image and music of this product are going viral on social networks in a negative way.

Teasing the audience?

Do Phu Qui collaborated with a team, including Tuno (composer) and Hoang Danh Huong (arranger), to release this song. The composer was inspired by Pickleball - a sport that is growing rapidly in Vietnam - to sketch a love story on the soccer field.

The song was criticized the most for its cliché lyrics, like the verse: "Play as much as you want but I remind you / I'm not easy / Don't look at me, look at the ball / Lose the game, leave me / Don't be careless and put your feet too close / Be restrained / Lose 5 times, I'll be on top of you".

Also a teaser, the author exploits a bold topic, possibly hitting the hot keyword "Pickleball". However, the segments lack cohesion, the superficial sentences turn the song into a disaster. The confusing lyrics, combined with the half-hearted melody and arrangement, make an audience ask: "I don't understand what I'm listening to, the music just hangs in the air, right next to my ears".

Moving on to the chorus, the lyrics of Pickleball still confusing: "I asked you out for Pickleball / We played Pickleball / The tennis player below my hips / I hit the ball, hit the ball / Come at you hard".

Not only music, Do Phu Qui was disliked because of the images in the version released on YouTube. This singer produced Visualizer MV, a lighter, more economical version than the Music Video. All the images in this product only show off Do Phu Qui's appearance and body. However, some scenes, especially the moment Do Phu Qui wore a crop top and posed, were ridiculed by the online community.

"The vocals aren't that bad, and the song's arrangement is quite modern. But the lyrics and visuals suffocate your product," one viewer commented. Another viewer said harshly: "It's 2024, why are there still cliché songs like this?"

Singers labeled as "disasters" like Phi Phuong Anh find it difficult to survive in the market.

Shoot yourself in the foot

Do Phu Qui (born in 1993) has become well known recently for participating in Brother say hi. This singer stopped playing game shows early, but the title "Brother" was a good stepping stone for Do Phu Qui to break out and make his mark, after many years of an unpromising career.

Just one product Pickleball but is leaving dire consequences for Do Phu Qui. For a long time, the Vietnamese music market has not had a product labeled a disaster. The song Pickleball like "delicious bait" for the online community. The audience takes turns throwing stones when something so-called different appears and with the current trend, criticism spreads extremely quickly.

Some viewers asked: "Why is the artist so superficial and naive to release this song? Is it to attract attention?"

Also possible Pickleball is a media-inciting card of Do Phu Qui and his team. However, if that happens, it will be a big risk for the artist to attract public opinion with a negative product at this time. Before Do Phu Qui, one of the singers labeled as a disaster was Phi Phuong Anh.

Phi Phuong Anh, when she moved from being a "long-legged model" to a singer, also released a product. Cheating made her the center of criticism. The scandal helped Phi Phuong Anh gain immediate attention. Later, Phi Phuong Anh began to reshape herself with serious products.

However, the title "Vietnamese music disaster" still haunts Phi Phuong Anh all the way after. Currently, this singer has also disappeared from the market.

In recent years, the Vietnamese music market has become increasingly professional. Audiences' taste in music has improved, leading to an increase in demand for music products. Audiences now not only pay attention to vocals, but also "scrutinize" the content, lyrics, and even the color of the music.

Songs with cliché or sensitive lyrics are immediately condemned by the audience. The negativity directed at Do Phu Qui once again warns against poor quality products from Vietnamese singers.
