"Nowadays, it seems like just picking up a microphone makes you a singer" - a young singer said a while ago when he started his singing career.
The "internet phenomena"
The development of social media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram... besides decent content, it is worrying that there are many "internet phenomena" who become idols of young people because of ridiculous and incomprehensible things. For example: stuttering, silly appearance, vulgar speech, swearing, being dirty, selling fake goods..., these "trivial" things can all help a person become an "idol" of young people.
The idol culture of young people has also become more worrying because of the fanaticism of the people, such as donating up to several hundred million VND, defending idols even though the idols are revealed to be lazy, fraudulent, and dissolute...
"Just pick up the mic and you'll be a singer" - the seemingly arrogant statement of a young singer when starting his singing career seems to have some basis. Nowadays, you don't need to sing well, you don't need to be trained in vocal techniques, you just need to invest in an eye-catching image, attract a certain number of viewers to be called a singer.
Many titles such as "king, queen", "queen", "princess", "king"... appear everywhere from fashion models, to music stages, comedies and movies... making the audience "suffocated". It is undeniable that these self-proclaimed titles have become a springboard for unknown characters to quickly advance in Vietnamese showbiz.
Singer Dam Vinh Hung is referred to as the "king of Vietnamese music". This title is a compliment for the achievements he has achieved in his career. Regarding this, singer Dam Vinh Hung affirmed that this is not a title he claimed for himself but was given to him by a reporter.
According to experts, to rectify and eliminate the situation of fame-seeking and title chaos in the showbiz field is the responsibility of the whole society, especially needing the cooperation of mainstream media in "purifying" distorted and exaggerated titles and titles so that genuine artists are not harmed.

Fight for the title
Preliminary statistics for the first 6 months of the year showbiz has nearly 20 beauty pageants. From now until the end of the year, Vietnamese showbiz will have more than 60 new beauty queens. Never before has the audience been so "overwhelmed" by having to remember the names of beauties from beauty pageants as they are now.
In order to gain fame from competitions, many contestants are also busy running shows. A typical case is H'Cúc Êban, the contestant who was crowned Miss Eco Vietnam 2022 earlier this year, and is also a contestant in the Miss Ethnic Vietnam contest that just ended. Before winning the 2nd runner-up position in the Miss Supranational contest, Kim Duyen had won a series of titles when participating in domestic beauty contests such as Top 10 Miss Ao Dai Vietnam 2014, Miss Elegant Student of Nam Can Tho University 2016.
From female students to businesswomen, ladies from all walks of life are willing to enter a beauty contest to find a title for themselves. The recent success of Miss Grand International 2021 Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien with a billion-dollar income has become an inspiration for many beautiful girls.
In reality, titles such as "boss lady", "boss", "comedy queen", "Vietnamese version of Michael Jackson", "underwear queen", "Vietnamese version of Taylor Swift", "pop princess"; "catwalk queen" help singers and artists become more "valuable". Therefore, there has been a fight for the title "underwear queen" because "I just advertised underwear so I deserve this title, while the other person only claims it but has never been invited by any underwear brand to take advertising photos".
"Relevant authorities need to promptly intervene to rectify the chaotic situation of self-proclaimed titles and titles, otherwise it will lead to deviations in cultural and social development, causing harmful consequences for the country's cultural and artistic fields," Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Hoai Son, Director of the Vietnam National Institute of Culture and Arts, suggested.
According to information on the sidelines, in the coming months, the authorities will step in to screen beauty contests. This move has received positive feedback because it will help Vietnamese showbiz be more decent, at least in terms of not being as chaotic with titles as it is now.
