The Voice Kids coach's coaching ability is doubted: Is being young enough to be a coach?

The Voice Kids 2017 coaches are all from the 9x generation and the two "hotter" faces, Huong Tram and Soobin Hoang Son, are questioned about their ability to coach young contestants.

Following the previous season when the entire familiar and experienced coaching staff was replaced with young faces, The Voice Kids this year continues to rejuvenate more boldly with a team of coaches all born in the 90s. The youngest is Huong Tram, only 22 years old, Tien Cookie is 23 years old, and Soobin and Vu Cat Tuong are 25.

It is this young age and career that makes this year's coaching team doubt their ability to train young singers, especially young contestants who sing folk music.

On forums, there are many opposing opinions, "throwing stones" at the 9x coaches. And the two "hotter" faces, Huong Tram and Soobin Hoang Son, are "thrown stones" the most, such as: "Only have a few hits and already become a coach", "A famous singer after 1 song is also invited to be a coach?", "Whoever is hot can be a coach, no need for experience"...

The Voice Kids 2017 9x Coaches

However, music director Luu Thien Huong highly appreciated this year's young coaches because members of all three teams have good voices and solid composing abilities.

Vu Cat Tuong - the only coach from last season who continues to accompany the program this year - also showed "wariness" about her "opponents": "This year everyone has expertise, so I have to use quality to compete with quality. I don't focus too much on winning. I like different problems, so I will bring different things to The Voice Kids this season."

This is not the first time young coaches have been criticized and doubted. In The Voice Kids season 2016, Vu Cat Tuong and the young coaches Dong Nhi - Ong Cao Thang and Noo Phuoc Thinh were also questioned similarly. After that, Dong Nhi, Noo Phuoc Thinh and Toc Tien continued to receive criticism when they sat in the coach seat of The Voice 2017 adult version. Dong Nhi had to speak up to "counterattack": "I'm almost 30 years old, so I'm not young anymore."

In fact, the young coaches of The Voice Kids last season did their job well. Dong Nhi - Ong Cao Thang had champion Nhat Minh who could sing both traditional opera and folk songs. Vu Cat Tuong specialized in rock, "Westernized" R&B... and Thuy Binh specialized in Southern folk songs, reaching the final round.

Faced with traditional doubts about “old teacher, young singer”, both Huong Tram and Soobin Hoang Son are quite confident in their ability to train young contestants, including those who sing folk music, and said that their families have a tradition of folk music as well as a long history of learning about this genre of music...

In response to doubts, the two young coaches sang Northern folk songs a cappella right at the press conference to launch the program.

Anyway, the 9x age of the coaches of The Voice Kids this year will make it difficult for them to erase the prejudice that "young people are not old enough to be coaches" of the majority of the audience, and in a month, they will certainly be scrutinized more closely about their coaching ability when the show officially airs.
