Ngoc Son and Min once had a dispute about their names. |
Among them, we can mention Ngoc Son being named "music professor" or singer Min also received many mixed opinions because she called herself Queen of Pop... There are even many people who sing a few songs, play some extra roles or appear on some social networking platforms and then are called with the title of singer, artist and calmly become a person of showbiz, participating in entertainment events. That is what makes the public fed up, even have a negative view when someone in the artist world makes mistakes such as advertising poor quality products, getting into trouble with the law...
Regarding this issue, an account commented: "Vietnamese showbiz has too many kings and queens... all self-proclaimed or easily awarded by social networks. I want to be overwhelmed with these titles". Ms. HH (24 years old) shared with us: "If you consider yourself a king or queen... it's a bit too much. I think you should look back at your situation, talent and dedication to the audience. If you are truly talented and worthy, the audience will name you instead of calling you."
In general, titles need to be placed in the right place, with the right person instead of being arbitrary as it is now. Because sometimes, it becomes a shirt that is too big for artists, causing some people to feel pressured, others to be arrogant, and have an arrogant attitude. Discussing this issue, an artist once expressed his opinion: “Very "loud" and "explosive" words make those people delusional and that is why they live in the clouds. And there are people who are properly praised but they fall asleep on their victory. That is what makes them slide down”.
Meanwhile, actor TD said the titles "king", "queen"... are quite vulgar. The actor believes that when you are an artist, "good things come naturally". He believes that just giving your all and being loved by the audience is better than trying to get a certain title for your profession.
