According to the organizers, The Voice Vietnam 2015 has been gearing up for several weeks with online auditions. Just three weeks after receiving submissions, the program has received over 2,500 entries from all over the country, and that number continues to grow.

"Among the initial recordings submitted, several vocalists made a strong impression on the organizers and musicians," a representative from the organizing committee stated.

Reportedly, this year the program will have two nationwide auditions in various locations (instead of one in major cities) to create more opportunities for aspiring singers to shine and to discover more hidden talents.

The live preliminary rounds will begin from the beginning of December 2014 to January 2015.

The identities of the four coaches remain undisclosed, sparking curiosity among viewers. Will familiar faces like Dam Vinh Hung (who sat on the judging panel for two seasons) continue in this role, and which names will replace My Linh, Hong Nhung, Ho Ngoc Ha, Thu Minh, etc., to take on the role of judges? Everything is still a secret.

The Voice Vietnam is a reality TV singing talent show whose format was purchased from abroad. First airing in Vietnam in 2012, the show immediately became a sensation due to its novel and engaging format, and the intense competition for contestants.

However, this program was also plagued by scandals, culminating in the leaked audio recording of musician Phuong Uyen in the first season, raising suspicions that the show rigged the results. The winner of the competition, Huong Tram, subsequently faced a series of scandals, such as "ungrateful attitude" towards Thu Minh and inappropriate attire.

Entering its second season with a judging panel consisting of Dam Vinh Hung, My Linh, Hong Nhung, and Quoc Trung, The Voice Vietnam has somewhat lost its appeal. Vu Thao My, the contestant from Dam Vinh Hung's team who won the competition, has also not had any notable activities after the competition, partly due to her studies.

In 2014, this program took a one-year hiatus due to the emergence of X-Factor, also a singing talent show that purchased its format from abroad.

However, putting aside the unnecessary controversies, it must be acknowledged that The Voice Vietnam has brought to the audience many promising vocalists such as Huong Tram, Bui Anh Tuan, Hoang Ton, Vu Cat Tuong… This helps the audience have more faith in new talents in the third season.
