Revealing the 6 finalists of Star Arena 2025

After a dramatic competition night, the 2025 Star Arena program determined the 6 best faces to move on to the final round.

The final duet night of the Star Arena ended with elaborate performances, clearly demonstrating the tactics and musical colors of the three coaching teams Quoc Dai, Doan Trang and Sy Luan. The great competitive pressure pushed the contestants to break out, bringing the audience an emotional music night.

Opening the show, the duo Kim Anh-Kim Thach from Coach Quoc Dai’s team brought a bold experiment when combining two songs: “Heroic Country” and the soulful “Impromptu Lullaby”. Kim Thach showed off his powerful male voice, while Kim Anh left her mark with her soulful, soft voice.

However, the idea of connecting national spirit and motherly love was considered incomplete. Judge Dong Dao commented: “The way the performance was created is still incomplete. If you had handled the transition between the two songs more delicately, you could have created a very special performance.” Both received 19.25 points.

Rocking the stage were Poppy Nhat Liem and Truong Dang Chau from coach Doan Trang's team with the song True Love. The performance left a strong impression thanks to the modern staging, eye-catching choreography and the special highlight when Truong Dang Chau showed off his flute playing skills.

Coach Sy Luan expressed his excitement, while judge Quang Ha praised the sublimation on stage but said that the singing was still not really convincing.

Defending her students, coach Doan Trang emotionally shared: “I chose you not because you sang excellently, but because I saw something different in you.” Poppy Nhat Liem received 19.5 points and Truong Dang Chau received 19 points.

The emotional highlight of the night belonged to Sing K and Ben Hoang Quan from coach Sy Luan’s team with the ballad “Ca mot troi thuong nho”. The two young singers completely conquered the judges and audience with their solid technique and delicate handling, fully conveying the song’s haunting feelings.

Coach Doan Trang commented that this is a remix that “even the author could be surprised”. With a performance that touched the hearts of listeners, both Sing K and Ben Hoang Quan excellently received a perfect score of 20.
