Singer Quang Le caused controversy when he 'destroyed' the hit of Hoa Minzy and Tang Duy Tan.

In a performance, singers Quang Le, Quang Ha and To My caused controversy when they "destroyed" "Turn On Love" - a hit song by Hoa Minzy and Tang Duy Tan.

The video of 4 singers Quang Le, Quang Ha, Giang Hong Ngoc and To My singing the medley "I Love Vietnam - Turn on Love" in the program "Spring Prosperity" is spreading rapidly with mixed reactions.

Among them, Quang Le, Quang Ha and To My caused controversy when performing the hit song "Turn on love " composed by musician Tang Duy Tan and performed with Hoa Minzy.

Specifically, the legato singing style (singing in one voice), pronunciation, overuse of slurs and indiscriminate emphasis make the song cheesy, "destroying" the cheerful, youthful energy of the original.

In particular, the word "em" is sung long at the end of the verses - a characteristic of this song - when sung by singers in a lyrical, golden music style, making it sound strange.

Excerpt from the controversial performance

The singers showed no discussion or agreement in the production process. Each person sang in a different way, and To My even changed the tune by singing a verse an octave higher than the original key in a confusing way.

Of the 4 singers, only Giang Hong Ngoc handled it quite well, ensuring the spirit of the song.

Apart from the vocals and the way the singers performed, the performance also failed in terms of ideas, staging and arrangement. The music director of the show tried to do more than he could by mashing up the two songs Thuong Qua Viet Nam and Bat Tinh Yeu Len which do not have much in common.

As a result, the pop song Turn on Love becomes tedious because it has to follow the tempo of the song Thuong Qua Viet Nam . The boring, old arrangement makes the whole thing almost devoid of bright spots.

On social networks, this performance video is spreading rapidly, attracting criticism.

Popular comments include: "The name is Turn on love but I just want to turn it off", "1,000 missed calls from Tang Duy Tan", "Not all singers of the previous generation sing like that, Ms. My Linh sings Gen Z music very well", "The beat falls like the lyrics", "What's wrong with this version, isn't the version by Quang Linh - Pham Anh Duy so good?"...
