Combining "hat xam" and "rap", Doan Trang brought her student to the championship of Dau Truong Ngoi Sao 2025

Surpassing the “huge” performance of Quoc Dai’s team and Sy Luan’s “boy band”, Doan Trang’s team’s performance of “Dat Nuoc Loi Lu” caused a stir. The bold combination of Xam singing and rap not only brought home the Championship trophy but was also considered a remarkable effort to “renew” traditional music .

The final night of the Star Arena ranking has ended with performances that were both pleasing to the ear and pleasing to the eye. Surpassing two strong opponents, Truong Bao Yen and Truong Thuy Quynh (Coach Doan Trang's team) excellently won the championship with 39.75 points. This victory is considered completely worthy for a risky, nationalistic and creative performance.

Victory from the folk-modern "symphony"

Closing the competition night, Coach Doan Trang's team chose the most "difficult" move: bringing Dat Nuoc Loi Lua back to the stage with an "unimaginable" arrangement. This was not only a competition, but also a commendable effort to bring folk music, specifically hat xam, to reach young audiences. The performance featured the participation of both "old warriors" Truong Dang Chau and Poppy Nhat Liem.

The opening Xam singing part, which requires skillful techniques of vibrato and pronunciation, was performed well by Bao Yen and Thuy Quynh, causing a big surprise. Immediately after, Poppy Nhat Liem's rap part rang out creatively, smoothly connecting the past and present.

Coach Doan Trang revealed that she wanted to challenge her students with this difficult music genre: “I was really surprised by their adaptability and efforts. All three sisters practiced a lot to bring a performance that was both entertaining and full of national character.”

This performance completely conquered the judges. Famous singer Thai Chau exclaimed: “I didn’t expect you guys to be able to sing like that. From art to technique, everything was perfect. The rap also impressed me a lot.”

Singer Thanh Thao praised the female coach's mindset: "This mashup is a whole investment process. I know Doan Trang loves her job very much, always wants to bring new thinking to her performances, especially renewing folk materials. You have a good coach and you yourselves are also special factors."

Coach Sy Luan also analyzed: "Hat Xam is usually a solo song, when performing in a group it will be difficult to blend in, but you guys handled it well."

Before that, Quoc Dai team opened the show with a "stunning" mashup performance of Vietnam in my heart - Vietnam, the eternal echo - Continuing the story of peace . The heroic performance with a large-scale stage production made judges Thai Chau and Thanh Thao "swallow their tears with emotion". This performance excellently won the runner-up prize with 39.5 points.

In complete contrast, Coach Sy Luan’s team brought the youthful atmosphere of a real “boy band” to the stage with the arrangement of De em roi xa. The five boys (Ben Hoang Quan, SingK, Nam Thanh, Xuan Hai and Coach) had a harmonious performance, showing “gentlemanly brotherhood” and received third place overall.
