In Live Stage 2, only one of the four winning teams will advance to the next round with all their members intact. Three teams face the risk of having members eliminated based on voting. 52Hz and Phuong My Chi's team is temporarily ahead after the first round. Bich Phuong has yet to "enter the fray". Miu Le There's still hope for a breakthrough now that Tien Tien has been placed in the second performance round.
Miu Le and Bich Phuong are running out of breath.
Before Live Stage 2, Miu Le assembled her dream team with Tien Tien, LyLy, Dao Tu A1J, Juky San, Danmy, and Vu Thao My. Miu Le had all the pieces she needed: a producer, vocalist, rapper, and dancer. In the first round, Miu Le, LyLy, Juky San, and Danmy formed one team. Tien Tien split into a second group with the other two members to focus on her production skills.
Miu Le has an added advantage from having Duong Dominoc in her lineup of supporting artists.
From the song "We Belong Together," Miu Le and Tien Tien initially intended to remix it into a ballad. However, the team's idea ran into trouble, so they had to find a new concept and decided on a Pop Punk arrangement. Miu Le and her teammates brought to the stage an energetic song with great choreography.
However, Tien Tien's team's "We Belong Together" didn't leave much of an impression because, due to the rhythm of the music, the lyrics easily faded away. The appearance of Duong Domic was the most anticipated among the "older brothers" who came to Live Stage 2 to support Em Xinh. But Duong Domic's high-pitched segment didn't fit in with the overall song and wasn't enough to elevate the entire piece.
Bich Phuong's team's performance of "Red Flag" also shared a similar spirit to "We Beling Together." It featured fast-paced music designed to facilitate choreography. The beautiful girls Ngo Lan Huong, Yeolan, Han Sara, and Lamoon performed the dance routines well. Guest performer Jsol contributed significantly to the "Red Flag" performance. build Concept and new lyrics.
Red Flag was a safe choice for Group One, Bich Phuong's team, but it lacked a groundbreaking element. The creative concept wasn't enough, as the core of the performance—the music—lacked the necessary "explosive moment" to connect with the audience.
Surprised by 52Hz
52Hz's lineup of "star performers" chose a ballad. It doesn't hurt anymore. To advance to Live Stage 2, 52Hz went against the grain, choosing ballads as a "gamble" that would lead to two paths: either touching the audience's emotions or fading into obscurity due to outdated styles. Previously, 52Hz announced their intention to create music with an international appeal. Audiences predicted a song with more modern musical elements, rather than a ballad like "Không đau nữa rồi" (No More Pain).
Ballads are easy to create, but also very difficult to make well. The 52Hz team has a good foundation for creating a great ballad, as the lyrics by Bui Truong Linh – a hit maker – are profound. The arrangement of "No More Pain" features the participation of Doan Minh Vu, one of the most skilled ballad producers.
52Hz, Orange, Châu Bùi, and Mỹ Mỹ successfully brought ballad music to touch the emotions of many people. In terms of structure, the vocal contributions of the members were well-balanced. Orange's vocals stood out above everyone else in the team. Châu Bùi's first time singing so much was a surprising element, keeping the audience anticipating the performance. And the contemporary dance choreography set to the music contributed to making the performance full of emotion.
Next, Pháp Kiều appeared, delivering a rap verse that recreated what had happened in the hit song. The spotlight shone on the four brothers supporting the girls in the first performance of Live Stage 2. The French-American's vocal contribution was the most effective of all; it didn't need to be groundbreaking, but it fit perfectly to provide a backdrop for the girls to achieve their goal.
The votes for Team 52Hz and Phuong My Chi after the first round of performances were very close. Phuong My Chi's clown act also made a strong impression, as the group challenged themselves by combining traditional Vietnamese opera with modern music. To achieve this, Phuong My Chi and her teammates went through a difficult process of consulting with senior artists.
Phuong My Chi's team doesn't have a dedicated producer to shape the musical framework for her two Live Stage 2 performances. However, Phuong My Chi has a team behind her, with the DTAP producer group assisting in music production and post-production.
Phuong My Chi was given a strong position and played the leading role in the performance, appearing more prominently than everyone else. Phao did much better than in other stages, writing a good rap verse to respond to guest Wean Le. Phuong Ly performed well despite having to sing outside her comfort zone. And Chi Xe was the surprise of the performance, as one of the least impressive contestants from the beginning of the game show had a real chance to showcase her musical personality.
Phuong My Chi poured all her key players into her first performance and achieved the desired result. 52Hz also played almost all of their trump cards. Bich Phuong and Miu Le were temporarily out of breath, but the battle is still ahead, as the audience is eagerly awaiting the next lineups from these two teams.
