Ho Ngoc Ha: I'm not as rich as many people think

I'm past the time of recklessly singing for money.

* Hello Ho Ngoc Ha, after releasing the MVMagic Lamp, are you pressured by views in the digital age?

-Ho Ngoc Ha:People perceive a song differently now than they did before butAlone on the sofaor my previous songs were all born in the digital age. Obviously, in terms of views, my songs are not as good as other young people, but that song still has its own life and this is very important to me. A song needs its own time to be successful or not. However, there needs to be that pressure to help you become more perfect in each musical work.

* That may be because Ho Ngoc Ha has her own position, but for young singers it is certainly difficult to think like that. What do you say about this?

- I think we have to listen to the majority and observe the audience's tastes, but we also have to listen to ourselves. I'm sure that young people are also worried about not knowing what to do to be right and stand out in the entertainment industry, but just be yourself. All famous artists in the world advise young people to be themselves. When you're good and have your own style, the audience will definitely follow you. And you don't have to follow anyone, but you should also know how to listen to everyone. I think that's the only way to help you succeed. Maybe the first stage will be a bit difficult and struggling, but when you really shine and bloom, your path will definitely become brilliant.

* How important is the position on the poster to Ho Ngoc Ha?

- It's the respect and appreciation of everyone. For me, even when my name was at its hottest, I didn't dare put my image in the middle position when there were seniors participating in the show. I never asked that I had to sing first, last or in the middle, but depending on the program, I would balance it appropriately. In the poster too, if I was the first person, the juniors would respect me and of course I would respect the seniors. But in my opinion, I think it's okay to do it like foreign shows, just arrange it alphabetically. As for us, we often measure, I think it's safest to consider age.

* So if an awkward situation with the show organizer occurs, how can you satisfy your passion for singing without offending either side?

- Satisfying your passion is one thing, but you have to consider whether you are comfortable working and have a common voice, that is the most important thing. I have gone through the stage of singing to earn money, so now I want to maintain my reputation, be respected and shine in my own way. Surely the show organizer understood this from the beginning.

* Looking back on her youth, how does Ho Ngoc Ha feel?

- At this age, I thank my youth because I worked hard and my goal at that time was to change my life for the better. I am passionate about my career because that is the only way for me to change my life. From my teens to my 30s, I worked tirelessly every day. Until about 32 - 36 years old is when we feel uncertain and unstable even when you reach the highest peak. Because when you are at the top, you will feel a bit overwhelmed. Now, I see that anyone around 34 - 35 years old starts to think that they are no longer young, they are about to get old, what should they do and have they achieved their goal? At that time, I found myself again. There were years when I did not sing at all, for example, last year while everyone was very busy, I was free. Because at that time, I felt like I was entering a new phase and had to accept that.

I no longer judge others

* In recent years, audiences have seen that Ha Ho has been associated with many big brands in the world and has a happy family. Does this make them think that after so many ups and downs, she has become a tycoon and is enjoying this life?

- I just agree that I am in a state of fulfillment, but not rich. Maybe I have enough food, enough clothes and go out with my family, those are the simplest things a family needs. But to have this or that to be better than others, that is probably not the case. So saying that I am rich is wrong but being fulfilled is probably right. It is also reasonable that I have gone through storms to have a beautiful "graduation ceremony". Sometimes Ho Ngoc Ha's case will become a pillar for those who are having difficulties, hardships and struggles out there to cling to. From that, we can see that Ho Ngoc Ha also suffered, suffered and tried hard to have the results like today. That is also a good way for me to motivate some people who are heartbroken, failed in life, and have unstable careers so that they can look at it and know that one day they will overcome all the difficulties and succeed.

* Recently, many artists have fallen, so over the past 20 years, how have you kept yourself away from the temptations of showbiz?

- Talking about temptation, I understand young people very well. I think God must have been very strong in protecting me, so I am lucky to have the life I have now. I think everyone wants a warm, happy and peaceful future because every game ends and every game is tiring. Only a normal life can make you happy and full of energy. A person who is tempted must have encountered something in life, but if you meet the right person and do what you like, you will not fall into temptation. First, you have to understand and then judge because I think they are not happy. When I was young, I wanted to go to any fun place, and I wanted to appear in any crowded place to cling to the fun. But when I went to those crowds, I did not feel happy and luckily I had a very busy job so I did not have days off.

If I don’t have a job for a month, I will probably be tempted because I’m so bored and don’t know what to do. Therefore, you must always have a busy schedule, even going to the gym is busy, so that I don’t waste any time. In addition, I need to have family and friends around me and choose the right people to play with. Although sometimes it’s fate, I can’t choose, but I still try to have a good friend to give me advice and direction in life. I’m lucky to have good friends, and the rumors out there are from people who are not too close to me. My friends are all good, mature and successful people, so they often give me the right advice.

* How do you deal with the rumors in showbiz?

- After going through many things, I realized that I shouldn't judge others. Because when I have problems, people also have the right to judge me. On Facebook or any social networking platform, if something happens, I never speak up because I think "opening your mouth will get you in trouble". People cannot be perfect and never know what will happen. If I keep condemning this person and talking about that person, then in turn they will say that I deserve it because everything that happens has its reasons. Up to this moment, I am grateful for the prayers because the more I read them, the more tolerant and understanding I feel. At that time, I saw that life was not as complicated and suffocating as I thought before.

* Music game shows are very hot right now, but why is Ho Ngoc Ha absent from these games?

- I think I don't enjoy playing so I don't dare to play (laughs). Besides, I only have 24 hours a day and if I don't sing, I'm busy being a mother, guiding my children to grow up and become truly good people. Because I'm so busy, I can't participate.

* Thanks for sharing Ho Ngoc Ha!
