Tuan Hung defeated Bang Kieu and the "harsh" score race

“Anh trai vu ngan cong gai” is a reunion of many generations of artists. Among them, Tuan Hung and Bang Kieu used to work in the same band Qua Dua Hau.

Once again on stage "Brother Overcoming a Thousand Thorns", Tuan Hung performed with Bang Kieu emotionally.

Many years ago, the two of them used to "dominate" together with the band Watermelon with the other two members, Tu Dua and musician Tuong Van.

At that time, around the late 1990s and early 2000s, Watermelon, led by "big brother" Bang Kieu, made waves with many hits such as Rain, Late Summer, Gentle Sun... The group also "covered" (re-sung) world-famous songs of that time such as Get down (Back Street Boys).

Bang Kieu was the most prominent member of the Watermelon Band during their glorious time. Many of their songs were in the top of the most listened to music charts such as Lan Song Xanh. Bang Kieu left the band the earliest and led to the group's disbandment later.

On the stage of Anh trai vu ngan cong gai, Bang Kieu sang the group's one-time hit - Late Summer. His high-pitched voice with emotional wide ranges reminded the audience of the 8X generation of youth.

However, Tuan Hung - the remaining member of Watermelon with his appearance still maintained his form and stage presence, overwhelmingly won against Bang Kieu. The "big brother" of the band at that time was even behind People's Artist Tu Long in terms of score.

After 2 episodes, the scoring method of 350 audiences at the studio has caused endless controversy, but this scoring method is contributing to the attraction of Anh trai tra ngan cong nong gai.

In episode 2, comedian BB Tran – who just crossed over to music, came to the show as a cameo and won over famous singers such as ST Son Thach and Thanh Duy. Even though the audience watched off-screen, Thanh Duy, with his madness, created an eye-catching EDM performance through the song “Tinh anh ban chieu”.

Just as absurdly, comedian Tien Luat (even just standing still and singing, without needing to dance or show off his ability to play musical instruments like many other "talents") was still able to win the highest score, surpassing Truong The Vinh (who was once a singer and had his own music group).

Despite the confusing scores, Anh trai vu ngan cong gai is convincing the audience by investing in the audio and visual elements so that many musical performances explode on stage.

Each artist with their own strengths exploded in their own way, despite their very low scores. In Bang Kieu, it was the depth and courage of a rare beautiful voice. In Thanh Duy, it was the crazy performance ability with "Tinh anh ban chieu", in Tien Dat, it was the return of a veteran, classy rapper to dominate the stage...

"Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" also records the reunion of members of music groups who once "worked together" to create each other's brands, such as Bang Kieu - Tuan Hung (group Qua Dua Hau), Jun Pham - ST Son Thach (group 365)...

Veteran artists, who once dominated the music scene, when joining the game, that means they accept the rules of the game, accept being judged, and accept being eliminated early.

After 2 episodes of Brother Overcoming Thousands of Challenges, no matter what score, everyone expressed happiness.

Audiences argue when they see injustice, even seeing through the producers' "intentional" way of setting up the rules to attract ratings... But, for artists, perhaps they come to this playground to play together a truly sublime, emotional musical game.

Rarely do they get to meet, reunite, and play music together in a way like this.

The audience can see the affection and respect they have for each other's talent.

For example, when Binz met Pham Khanh Hung, Binz said: "You are my childhood", Khanh Hung replied, "And you are my present".
