The production team of the show "Brothers Overcome a Thousand Obstacles" cleverly divided the 33 "brothers" into teams with distinct characteristics. However, Quoc Thien's presence with Dang Khoi and Pham Khanh Hung's team is out of place.
Quoc Thien, Dang Khoi, and Khanh Hung were assigned to the "School Youth" team. This team performed emotionally charged acts that evoked memories for audiences born in the 80s and early 90s.
Dang Khoi and Khanh Hung truly represent the "youthful memories" of many viewers, most of whom are now parents. Meanwhile, Quoc Thien's presence doesn't fit the overall spirit of the team, as the singer born in 1988 rose to prominence after winning Vietnam Idol 2012.
Two songs Quoc Thien brought to the stage - More than 1000 years later and Peaceful separation - It's also impossible to fit into the same emotional rhythm as Winter Girl (Dang Khoi) or You don't need to promise anything. (Khanh Hung)
Emotional performance
The "Brother" show marks the comeback after many years for Dang Khoi and Khanh Hung. Dang Khoi had withdrawn from the spotlight for a very long time. Khanh Hung returned to Vietnam a few years ago, reactivating his music career, but it took the popularity of the "Brother" show for him to truly regain the audience's acceptance.
The two solo performances by Dang Khoi and Khanh Hung are spreading rapidly on social media. Most comments from netizens are about how Dang Khoi and Khanh Hung's return evokes nostalgic feelings in them. In particular, "Little Winter Girl ," after all these years, remains an influential duet in Vpop.
Two milestones, when Dang Khoi and Khanh Hung were at the peak of their careers and their comeback on the "Brother" show, are separated by just over 20 years. After all that time, Vietnamese music is now in a completely different position. In the past, Dang Khoi and Khanh Hung made music in rudimentary conditions, sometimes having to borrow a single arrangement from elsewhere. Singers at that time had very few opportunities to perform on a formal stage.
At this point, Dang Khoi and Khanh Hung were working on a complete production line. Their only task was to prepare their voices and get ready for their stage performance. Dang Khoi and Khanh Hung's comeback gave the audience a special feeling, because the quality of their music is now better than before.
It would be even better if Tuan Hung was in the Youth School Team - with Still Remember, The Broken Rainbow, The Past of a Love Affair - or Phan Dinh Tung. The Youth School Team chose the following song for their group performance: "Sóng Tình" ( Waves of Love) is a hit song closely associated with Phan Đinh Tùng in particular and the MTV group in general.
Quoc Thien's versatility allowed him to perform well, being placed in most teams in the first round of the "Brotherhood" show. However, given the specific nature of the "Schoolboy Brotherhood" teams, only a few names were truly suitable to be included, together creating a "mini-show" that would take the audience back to the early stages of the Vietnamese music market.
The differences between these "youthful" artists
Dang Khoi and Khanh Hung left. showbiz Although it's been a long time, upon their return, audiences from the 80s and early 90s immediately responded positively. That's the difference between the generation of singers from 20-25 years ago, when they left a lasting impression on audiences through their appearance, performance style, and vocals.
In Dang Khoi's time, audiences didn't have many options for enjoying music. They could listen to songs through television, radio, CDs, or directly at shows. Since 2006, digital music on the internet began to develop in the Vietnamese market, but things were still in their infancy.
Dang Khoi and Khanh Hung weren't among the "top" young singers on the market back then. However, both were still prominent artists, with many opportunities to appear on television and magazine covers. The number of singers active in the market 15-20 years ago wasn't chaotic. Given Dang Khoi's position, Khanh Hung had ample opportunity to be recognized by a wide audience.
At this point, Vietnamese music has entered a completely different phase. Audiences now have many choices to enjoy music and can easily encounter their idols. Young singers today are supported by many factors, making it easy for them to enter the market and make an immediate impact. However, precisely because of this fast-paced environment, the rate of attrition among Vietnamese singers is increasing rapidly.
Dang Khoi, Khanh Hung, and many other singers from the "Green Wave" era, ITV, and the Vpop World show are still remembered and supported by a large audience, regardless of when they reappear after 10 years. However, for the current generation of young Vietnamese artists, after 10 or 20 years, will they still be remembered and praised as "youthful" artists? That's not easy to achieve.
