Bich Phuong 'went all in' but still lost in 'Em xinh say hi', netizens were in an uproar over the result

Live Stage 4 of the show Em xinh say hi has ended with an unexpected ending: Bich Phuong's team was completely empty-handed after two rounds. Despite investing heavily in concept, costumes and stage design, the singer of Bua yeu still could not win the hot seat in any competition, leaving many viewers regretful.

The performance "Climbing a Ladder to Ask the Sky God" by Bich Phuong's team.

In episode 10, 4 teams compete in a “hot chair” format – the team that performs later with a higher score will take the hot seat. At the end of each round, the team that holds the hot seat will receive 20 points for each member, and if they win both rounds, the whole team will be safe in the next round. This is considered the most fierce race since the beginning of the program when up to 6 artists will have to say goodbye after this round.

Audiences had high expectations for Bich Phuong's team's finale. Prior to that, LyHan and Lam Bao Ngoc's teams had both delivered explosive performances. In their performance of "Cach (Yeu Dung) Dieu ," Bich Phuong and the contestants transformed into aliens landing on Earth.

The group invested lavishly: the stage was covered with feathers, the gym equipment was also covered with feathers, the lyrics “signaling” had a metaphorical meaning of interplanetary communication. Despite the strong visual and conceptual impression, the performance still could not help Bich Phuong’s team surpass Lam Bao Ngoc’s team to win the hot seat.

Despite its visually stunning performance and compelling concept, the act did not help Bich Phuong's team win.

Earlier, in the first round, Bich Phuong's team also lost to LyHan's team. Thus, after two rounds, her team did not win a single match, which surprised the audience.

On social media, many viewers commented: " The performance was creative, the visuals were amazing, but they still lost," "Climbing a ladder to ask the heavens, they should have won round 1," "The team didn't get to sit in the judges' chairs, but they won in the hearts of the fans," "Losing because of few fans is one thing, but don't say they lost because it wasn't good!",...

Singer Tang Duy Tan also expressed his regret. He reposted an image of Bich Phuong's team along with a message of encouragement: "Top 1 in my heart," which received support from fans.

However, another segment of the audience argued that the result was fair. The scoring system, based on the total votes of the entire team, put Bich Phuong at a disadvantage, as the other team members did not have a large fan base. Furthermore, despite meticulous staging, her team's performances were judged to lack musical persuasiveness.
