Talking about Tung Duong, both the public and those in the profession must admit that he is not only a talented singer but also wise and capable.

Not only is Tung Duong a talented singer, he is also smart and capable.

Unlike many singers who have to rely on managers or producers, Tung Duong has been editing his own music, directing concerts, and recently composing. To do this, he must understand the market, society, and grasp public trends, something that few singers can do.

For Tung Duong, music is not just a walk or a pleasure but a serious job, requiring strategy and careful calculation. Choosing guests based on 4 typical singer models today: Vocalist Trung Quan, musician Tang Duy Tan, performance artist Soobin Hoang Son (singing, dancing, writing music, rapping, producing...) and Rapper Double2T at the concert Nguoi dan ong hat is a wise choice of Tung Duong.

When combined with these 4 guests, Tung Duong is transformed into different musical colors and emotions, creating diversity in musical thinking as well as updating the values ​​of contemporary music. He not only expands the audience and makes "academic" music accessible to the masses but also acts as a senior who "lights the fire" for the next generation.

Tung Duong's talent shows its depth when handling songs about human fate such as Nostalgia for Winter (Phu Quang), Snowy Road (Le Anh Dung). The combination with Trung Quan Idol in the acoustic version of Trot Yeu brings a different, profound nuance of love.

For Tang Duy Tan, this is a special event when he stands on stage with Tung Duong. "I used to dream of singing harmony or joining an orchestra, but I never dared to dream of singing with Tung Duong like today." Tang Duy Tan admits that his music is a bit magical because it is greatly influenced by Tung Duong and affirms that without his senior, there would be no musician Tang Duy Tan today.

Tang Duy Tan choked up as he shared: "Mr. Tung Duong not only inspired me but also helped my family during difficult times. I am always grateful to him." Faced with these words, Tung Duong shyly said that his cousin was exaggerating, but at the same time he was proud that the Nguyen Tang family finally had someone to succeed the late musician Tran Hoan.

Soobin Hoang Son was the most anticipated guest on the show. The impromptu collaboration between Tung Duong and Soobin in the two songs Gia nhu and Chiec khan Pieu , remade in R&B and Funk Rock styles, demonstrated Tung Duong's skillful technique. This proved that the male singer has the ability to change, innovate and overcome old musical patterns and pre-established styles.

During the concert, Soobin Hoang Son also taught Tung Duong some dance moves and encouraged his senior to participate in Anh trai vu ngan cong gai next season. Tung Duong also expressed his admiration for Soobin's family's musical tradition and the male singer's musical thinking. Before ending the performance, Soobin performed the solo If that day.

Listening to Tung Duong sing for 3 hours, many audiences wondered what style the male singer couldn't sing?! From Ballad, Pop to Jazz, from lyrical to Epic, from handling folk materials to unleashing emotions with Funk Rock, even R&B Alternative, Tung Duong could sing anything.

But more importantly, no matter how he sings, Tung Duong always shows his uniqueness. That is the case with Oh My Countryside, Hope . It is not an exaggeration to say that there are songs by Tung Duong, such as Mang Thai, Con Co, that perhaps not every singer can download. This is the difference, the uniqueness that brings Tung Duong to the top level of Vietnamese music.

Tung Duong also dared to take risks to bring new songs from the new album such as Multiverse, Steal, Phoenix Wings, Men Don't Need to Cry, Rebirth... to the stage. This implicitly affirmed to the audience that the name Tung Duong is not only associated with cover songs or certain hits. Further, it is the daring, daring to dream, daring to challenge and daring to conquer.

But the most impressive thing for me in this live concert was the image of Tung Duong singing the songs Foreign (Phan Manh Quynh), My Mother (Tran Tien) and especially Father's Lie written by Dong Thien Duc especially for Tung Duong. I have never heard these 3 songs so deeply. I have also never seen the professional inflections, the round breaths and enunciating words of Tung Duong's voice so clearly.

Tung Duong not only stands out with his voice and musical aesthetics but also shows his sophistication in costumes and stage decor. The surreal and metaphorical visuals create a unique musical space. The success of this live concert is not only thanks to the new arrangements of music director Nguyen Huu Vuong but also the delicate combination of director Xuan Truong and Giang Pham - Tung Duong's wife, in adjusting the sound, lighting and stage effects.

Someone once said: ''Tung Duong is a freak of the music industry'' and he is truly unlike anyone else in the competitive life. Through each liveconcert, people do not see any setback or stop in Tung Duong's career. A person with a fierce, strong attitude towards life and always strict to find the core of everything that comes into contact with him, Tung Duong's music is not sweet but to activate something that is not peaceful and unsatisfactory in his lonely artist self. After ''The man who sings'', Tung Duong further proves his position as the sole divo in the contemporary music industry, the most strict person must respect his talent and dedication in creation and dedication.

And ahead I believe there will be a versatile, open-minded Tung Duong that will surprise others again.
