Baby singing National Anthem causes social media stir in The Voice Kids

Kim Anh's mother said that before competing in The Voice Kids, her daughter had to work from 10am the previous day until 2pm the next day and many days she had to film until 2am before she could go to sleep.

Last May, during the visit of US President Barack Obama to Vietnam, a clip of little Kim Anh singing the song Tien Quan Ca in the program Giai Dieu Tu Hao suddenly attracted attention on social networks. The young singer received much praise from music lovers when performing the composition of musician Van Cao with a sweet, clear voice.

Kim Anh was born in 2004 and has just finished 6th grade at Trung Vuong Secondary School, Hanoi. She has participated in many music competitions to find young talents and was in the top 10 of Dancing with the Stars Kids 2016. Currently, Kim Anh is in Ho Chi Minh City to compete in The Voice Kids.

"Kim Anh was born to be an artist"

Singer Hien Anh - Kim Anh's vocal teacher said that her little student is not only obedient and polite but also always cares for her teacher: "She often asks me about me, even when I post a photo on Facebook, she comes in to praise or cheerfully congratulate me. Many times I see that she is very tired but still helps me wash dishes and cups. To me, Kim Anh is a very lovely student."

"She has many talents, not only can she sing well but she can also act, dub, and dance very well, especially dancing. I have the feeling that Kim Anh was born to be an artist. She is very talented and is a studious girl, so everyone can see her progress every day" - the chamber singer shared more.

The second prize winner of Sao Mai 2007 also said that Kim Anh was born into a family with many economic difficulties: “Her mother is the main pillar of the family and a very hard-working person. However, she always follows her child closely. Sometimes I see her very tired, but just listening to Kim Anh sing and improve every day makes her excited. She rarely mentions her husband, but I know that she is the breadwinner of the family and she takes care of all the children's education expenses.”

“Knowing that Kim Anh’s circumstances are not as well-off as many other families, I always increase her study schedule and tutor her. Normally, I never teach in the evening, but it was an exception for Kim Anh. Before she went to the South to compete in The Voice Kids, it was very urgent, so I taught in the evening from 7:30 to 9:00. Her voice is still thin and can’t reach high pitches well, so I have to help her voice become thicker and less thin,” the female singer confided.

Kim Anh once made an impression when singing Tien Quan Ca in Giai Dieu Tu Vo, so teacher Hien Anh wants her student to continue pursuing traditional songs of the nation in The Voice Kids. “Kim Anh has a very in-depth learning awareness, so it is suitable for songs like Tien Quan Ca, but when participating in a competition like The Voice Kids, it is also necessary to pay attention to the entertainment value. Therefore, everyone also needs to consider carefully to choose songs, so that they are suitable for Kim Anh's voice, and at the same time show the diversity and many styles in the competition" - singer Hien Anh said.

“I don't want my child to win an award in The Voice Kids”

Kim Anh’s mother is a skin care specialist. Kim Anh’s grandparents are not well-off, so when deciding to let the young singer participate in a reality show, the family had to think a lot. “I decided to let my child compete because she has a passion and I have to follow her, not because I have ambition or want her to win this or that prize,” said Nguyen Thi Hai, Kim Anh’s mother.

Kim Anh’s mother also confided that she felt lucky to have received help from friends so she could still arrange her work when she moved to the South: “I overcame the difficulties at work by waking up earlier than usual and accepting clients in the evening. In addition, I also worked on Saturdays and Sundays, taking advantage of every little bit.”

Despite the hardships of the competition, Ms. Hai still told Kim Anh: “Whether you win or lose, I don’t expect anything and I don’t want you to expect anything either. I just want you to put your passion into your song. I think the love everyone has for you is more than enough. Whether you make it to the next round or not depends on many objective factors and I want you not to think too much.”

Kim Anh is praised by many for her acting ability.

Although she loves and cares for her daughter very much, Ms. Hai also admits that she is a strict person when it comes to raising her children. She teaches Kim Anh step by step, helping her understand right from wrong in life, in daily speech and how to behave with her brother or friends. Ms. Hai is proud that her daughter is passionate, but to keep that passion like a flame that never goes out, as a mother, she must always encourage her child to overcome difficulties.

“I admire my child for her determination and effort. And perhaps not only me but many people who work with her feel the same way. Before going to Ho Chi Minh City to compete in The Voice Kids, Kim Anh had to complete a lot of work such as dubbing movies, final exams at dance school, and subjects in the cultural curriculum.”

Kim Anh has just finished her role in the film "Dad's Wife" directed by Duong Ngoc Bao, with the participation of actors such as People's Artist Lan Huong and MC Huy Khanh. At that time, she had to work from 10am the previous day to 2pm the next day. Before that, many nights in a row, she had to work until 2am before going to bed, and then go back to filming the next day. But she did not feel tired at all. Director Duong Ngoc Bao also appreciated Kim Anh's acting ability.
