(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Recently, Phuong Thanh released a short video of herself singing Tung Duong's song "Rebirth". The video has received mixed reactions from viewers. Singer Tung Duong has spoken out about this.

In a clip shared on TikTok a few days ago, singer Phuong Thanh attracted a lot of attention when she sang the chorus of the song "Rebirth" . The video received over 172,000 likes, more than 10,000 heart reactions, and many mixed comments.

"Is anyone else feeling breathless like me?", "It's completely dead, no more rebirth," "Those who criticize Phuong Thanh's singing voice are definitely not from the 80s generation," "This song by Thanh is truly agonizing and tormenting. Then she emerges from the ashes to break free from that past. Her voice is very unique"... these are some of the comments from listeners after hearing the female singer perform "Rebirth ."

Speaking to a reporter from Dan Tri newspaper , singer Tung Duong said that he had listened to Phuong Thanh sing and found that she had a unique and unconventional style in her voice.

"Before covering the song 'Rebirth ,' Phuong Thanh messaged me. I was very open to letting her sing it. Nowadays, if a song is popular, many people will sing it; if it's not Phuong Thanh, then someone else will. As for Tung Duong's music, you can cover it freely; the more people sing it, the more value it creates," Tung Duong said.

The male singer said that the more people sing a song, the longer it will remain popular, but it's not difficult for audiences and experts to determine who sings it best.

The male singer shared that the song "Rebirth" was written specifically for him by Tang Duy Tan with a pure and innocent spirit. When he first received the song, he only thought of it as a beautiful memory between the two of them. He was quite surprised that the song reached the top 1 trending on YouTube.

The audio version of "Rebirth, " released by Tung Duong on his personal channel a month ago, has now reached over 8 million listens. The live version of "Rebirth" from the "The Singing Man" live show, after 6 days of being uploaded, has reached 2.2 million listens and is currently number one on YouTube, knocking Jack's " Under the Dry Tree, Flowers Bloom " down to second place after many weeks at the top.

Tung Duong was very happy to reach the top 1 trending spot on YouTube for the first time.

"The top trending charts are full of young faces, and the music is mainstream. From someone whose music was niche, after more than 20 years, I have popularized my image. I think I have a spirit of dedication, passion, and a willingness to keep up with and listen to new trends," the male singer shared.

Tung Duong has covered many pop songs before, but only now has he released his own original product. By balancing artistic elements with a connection to the audience, Tung Duong feels he has successfully captured the listener's trend.

Tung Duong shared: " Rebirth was not only well-received in Vietnam, but many viewers also sent me clips of the song that were well-received in China and Thailand."

"That's a positive influence spreading from domestic singers to neighboring countries. I'm very proud. If I had continued with contemporary music that appeals to a niche audience, it would have been as difficult to reach people as it is now."
