The contrasting lives of two child singers Xuan Mai and Xuan Nghi after many years

The names Xuan Mai and Xuan Nghi are not coincidentally always together. Not only are they similar in age, they also have many things in common, especially their famous childhood, known by many people. The two girls are also close friends, attached to each other for many years.

Associated with the audience's childhood

Xuan Nghi once said she did not want the music of her childhood to haunt her for the rest of her life. She has been trying to get herself out of the shadow of "little" Xuan Nghi. But it is not easy because the image of little Xuan Nghi as well as little Xuan Mai is deeply engraved in the minds of the Vietnamese public, especially the 9X generation. In the 1990s, they were the two most famous child singers.

Xuan Mai showed her talent at a very young age. Starting from a CD recorded by her family as a souvenir and given to friends, the singer born in 1995 suddenly became famous. At the age of 2, she performed and released her first album Con co be be. Xuan Mai became a phenomenon, even the media called her a musical prodigy. Her cuteness, confident performance, and clear voice helped the young singer become even more famous when she was 5 or 6 years old. Almost everywhere you go, you can hear Xuan Mai's voice.

Xuan Nghi and Xuan Mai were two famous child singers with a large fan base in the 1990s.

Compared to Xuan Mai, Xuan Nghi's childhood music career was not as bright. Although born a year earlier than Xuan Mai, Xuan Nghi is considered a junior because she started singing later. However, the singer born in 1994 has left many of her own marks. Even now, the audience still cannot forget the image of little Xuan Nghi.

Xuan Nghi released her first album, Xuan Nghi - Little Angel's Singing, when she was 9 years old. From 2005 to 2010, she released 5 personal albums. Until she immigrated to the US, Xuan Nghi and Xuan Mai were for a long time the most famous child singers in the Vietnamese music market.

Xuan Mai is at peace with her family

At the peak of their careers, both decided to leave everything behind and move to the US with their families. Xuan Mai came to the US at the age of 7 because she wanted to focus on her studies. In 2009, she intended to return to Vietnam to build a singing career again. However, that plan could not be carried out because the young singer had a busy school schedule. Since then, the singer born in 1995 has spent most of her time studying and her family.

Currently, the singer of Con co be be has a happy life with her husband and 3 children. She got married in 2016 and gave birth to 3 children in 3 consecutive years.

Xuan Mai is happy with her family.

“My family is my number one priority and I feel happiest when I can do it. Everyone in my family loves me and wants me to be happy, so they support my choice. I think in life we ​​always have to make choices. We cannot be greedy and want to have everything good and perfect at the same time,” Xuan Mai said.

Xuan Mai’s appearance has changed a lot. Many audiences expressed that they could not recognize the child singer they loved back then. Xuan Mai now has a rounder appearance and a more mature face compared to her 24 years old.

However, for a girl who has left showbiz like Xuan Mai, she doesn't care what the public says about her.

She said: “I don’t understand why people keep wanting me to stay young, while I just want to grow up quickly. Maybe the audience is too familiar with my childhood image, so few people accept me as an adult, and even less familiar with my current appearance.”

Xuan Nghi strives on the way back

Although they have the same starting point, each singer is choosing a different path for themselves. During her years of settling in the US, Xuan Nghi always cherished the idea of ​​returning to music. She studied music at the University of Southern California and once attracted attention thanks to the song Hay Noi duet with Dinh Manh Ninh.

After a year of studying abroad, in 2011, Xuan Nghi returned to Vietnam and participated in several music shows before returning to the US to start the new school year.

Xuan Nghi's transformation in appearance surprised many viewers.

Recently, Xuan Nghi has returned to music after nearly 10 years of settling in the US. The MV Summer Night no longer has the image of the lovely, cute Xuan Nghi of the past. The singer born in 1994 chose a mature, slightly sexy style. Her beautiful, sharp face and unique blonde hair mark the transformation of the young singer.

"I want to make music products that bear my personal mark, true to my passion. But if I choose music based on my passion, it will be difficult to sympathize with the majority," she confided.

Summer Night is having quite modest achievements compared to the general level of Vpop. That shows that despite receiving attention from her childhood reputation, Xuan Nghi encountered many difficulties and obstacles when deciding to return after many years of absence.
