Besides captivating viewers with her powerful and clear voice, hitting high notes beautifully, Lam Bao Ngoc is almost "a new person" in terms of personality, leaving audiences impressed by a "Hippopotamus" who is not only "sharp-voiced" but also very adorable, cheerful, and lively.
The stage sparkled like ocean waves and pearls for "Ngoc"'s mini-show on the evening of December 21st in Ho Chi Minh City.
"Gems" endure pain to be polished.
Lam Bao Ngoc was born into a family with a tradition in the arts; both her parents were musicians – music teachers. Even she herself received training in pedagogy, not vocal music – the specialized field of someone who performs on stage.
Yet, when standing on the stage of the Sao Mai 2017 competition, Lam Bao Ngoc won the runner-up prize in the light music style. However, the "glory" from a competition as highly professional as Sao Mai doesn't seem to have helped Lam Bao Ngoc much in her career, especially when the music market already has so many popular televised competitions.
After a period of treatment, Lam Bao Ngoc appeared with a new HippoHappy persona on Masked Singer Season 2.
Two years later, Lam Bao Ngoc entered The Voice Vietnam. In the first audition round, with the song "If," she immediately attracted attention, causing the coaches to compete for her, but ultimately they chose her to join singer Tuan Hung's team. To this day, her performance of "If" at the competition is still remembered by many viewers and receives many searches and views/listens online. Once again winning the runner-up title, it seemed that Lam Bao Ngoc would quickly rise to prominence with the love of the audience, but no, her career path encountered obstacles.
Like many young people in modern society, Lam Bao Ngoc struggled with severe depression as she faced life's challenges. Ngoc shared that she suffered from overthinking, coupled with the sensitivity of an artist, which left her struggling both in life and her career. Failures in relationships, a changed outlook on life, and feeling lost in the times... all significantly impacted her singing career. Lam Bao Ngoc felt she had lost her enthusiasm, even refusing invitations to perform because she didn't want the audience to witness her disillusionment with the stage. Lam Bao Ngoc disappeared as if she had never existed for the past four years.
The "gem" named HippoHappy
After a long period of treatment, Lam Bao Ngoc appeared in her new persona, HippoHappy, on Masked Singer Season 2. Once again, from her very first song – "What Remains of the Past? " – Lam Bao Ngoc stunned the panel of judges and television viewers alike. With a vocal range considered to be that of a diva, and a high-pitched vocal technique using a flute reminiscent of Mariah Carey, HippoHappy led many to speculate that it was Lam Bao Ngoc – a singer with a petite figure but an incredibly powerful voice.
The concert celebrating Lam Bao Ngoc's artistic journey delivered impressive performances.
Besides her performances, viewers also enjoyed following her journey in the competition because of her playful and humorous personality. Hippo always brought refreshing laughter to the audience with her witty yet extremely polite exchanges on stage. In the show, Lam Bao Ngoc didn't hesitate to wear the most elaborate costumes; to trick the audience, she even wore a dress that fully showcased her voluptuous figure, truly embodying the image of a hippo... All of this was simply to provide entertaining performances for the viewers, alongside her already beautiful singing voice.
Then HippoHappy's mask was (or rather, was) removed, and from that moment, a vibrant and passionate Lam Bao Ngoc reappeared.
Following the show, Lam Bao Ngoc recently held a mini-concert titled after herself – Ngoc – in Ho Chi Minh City. The once small stone, having overcome many difficulties, has been polished into a true gem in the hearts of the audience. The concert celebrating Lam Bao Ngoc's artistic journey delivered impressive performances. She performed beloved songs from The Voice Vietnam, songs she was invited to perform in television dramas... and of course, the successful songs from HippoHappy's Masked Singer competition such as: "What Remains of the Past," "Let Go," "Memories ," etc. The singer shared: " Masked Singer Season 2 was like an opportunity for Ngoc to get a little closer to the audience, and Ngoc tried her best to seize this opportunity, to perform the best acts for the audience." Lam Bao Ngoc concluded the program with "Then I Will Meet Another Guy" and "Words Cannot Be Spoken ," two songs that truly belong to her, encapsulating a journey of rediscovering her passion for music and opening a new chapter in her career.
