Major General, musician Nguyen Duc Trinh, Chairman of the Vietnam Musicians Association, member of the jury, commented that the two finalists combined fireworks and music very artistically and smoothly. The Italian team impressed with their performance on a symphony background. The French team used Vietnamese music as a greeting and gratitude to the host country's audience.
