Hoa Minzy was eliminated from Familiar Faces, audience demanded to boycott Hoai Linh
Many viewers said they would not watch the finale of "Familiar Faces" because Hoa Minzy and Do Duy Nam were only allowed to perform as guests.
Last night (July 9), “Familiar Faces 2016” episode 12 aired with many surprises. The most notable of which was Hoa Minzy’s sudden elimination even though she was a contestant with personality, tried hard and always brought laughter to the show.

Hoa Minzy was eliminated from the top 4 of Familiar Faces 2016, making the audience dissatisfied. |
The characters that Hoa Minzy has transformed into such as People's Artist Thanh Hoa, singer Son Tung M-TP, Son Tuyen... are always searched for and watched many times by the audience after the program aired, proving the great attraction of Cong Phuong's girlfriend in this playground. Many people think that if Hoa Minzy wins the championship this year, this award will be well-deserved for her.
However, Hoa Minzy was unexpectedly eliminated from the top 4. She and contestant Do Duy Nam only appeared in the final Gala night as special guests. This result was because Hoa Minzy received the lowest score from judge Hoai Linh in episode 12 last night.
Accordingly, in this final competition night, the challenge that Hoa Minzy had to go through was to transform into Phuong My Chi - the most popular child singer of folk songs in Vpop today. To do well in this challenge, Hoa Minzy chose the song "My Mother's Sadness" and performed an emotional scene, bringing tears to many viewers.

Many readers criticized the program harshly. |
However, according to judge Hoai Linh, Hoa Minzy's pronunciation and vocals are more similar to Cam Ly's than Phuong My Chi's. Therefore, despite her emotional performance, if judged according to the program's criteria of "being similar to the original", Hoa Minzy has not met this requirement.
As a result, with a score of 7 from Hoai Linh, a score of 8 from My Linh and a score of 9 from Duc Huy, Hoa Minzy had the lowest score of the night, pulling her total score of 12 weeks down to 5th place, causing the unique contestant to be unexpectedly eliminated from the top 4 before the final night.
This result also made many colleagues surprised and regretful. As soon as the result was announced, Vo Ha Tram could not hide her surprise on television. The female singer burst into tears and hugged Hoa Minzy many times to comfort her.
Today (July 10), on the official fanpage of “Familiar Faces”, many online readers could not hide their dissatisfaction with the results of the top 4 of the program. Because if judging by the criteria of “similar to the original”, then in episode 12, Phan Ngoc Luan, Hoa Minzy and Bach Cong Khanh could not pass this challenge.
Not to mention, Bach Cong Khanh, Phan Ngoc Luan or Ha Thuy Anh in previous weeks did not leave as much of an impression as Hoa Minzy or Do Duy Nam, but these contestants still made it into the final top 4 in a confusing way.
The audience nicknamed “Sailor” said: “For me, the top 4 must be: Hoa Minzy, Vo Ha Tram, Ha Thuy Anh and Do Duy Nam. The program is unfair, shouldn’t the audience’s votes be included? So the audience’s efforts in voting for the past 12 weeks have been wasted?”
Reader Thuy Vy said: “I really can’t believe what’s going on.” “I will boycott the finale, and next season I will boycott this whole show” – another reader commented.
Not only dissatisfied with the organizers, judge Hoai Linh was also the center of criticism after episode 12 because of the low score he gave to Hoa Minzy.

Judge Hoai Linh also became the focus of public criticism for giving Hoa Minzy the lowest score. |
Reader Van Thanh Le harshly said: “Watching this episode, I suddenly hate Hoai Linh so much. I don’t know how he sees things but gives Hoa Minzy a score of 7. After watching, I don’t want to watch the next episode. From the elderly to the young, when turning on the TV, everyone focuses and pays the most attention to the performances of Hoa Minzy. After watching episode 12, I feel so sad. Goodbye to the show, no need to watch the results anymore.”
Not only feeling sorry for Hoa Minzy, many readers were also unhappy when Do Duy Nam - the funniest and friendliest contestant of the show had to stop, even though in episode 12, he successfully transformed into comedian Xuan Hinh.
Do Duy Nam also left a big impression on this year's Familiar Faces, when previously, his transformation into the late musician Tran Lap greatly moved the audience.

Hoa Minzy burst into tears when hearing the results announced. |
“It’s really sad for Do Duy Nam. He was eliminated and no one cared about him, they only cared about Hoa and he was still happy. The friendly award will go to Do Duy Nam” - reader Hai Nam commented.
Do Duy Nam accepted this result quite calmly. He shared: “I feel happiest when I can do meaningful things for everyone. Thank you to the judges and the program for helping me grow up and become more confident.”
Hoa Minzy choked up and said in tears: "When participating in Familiar Faces, I got to know many more people, and lived in a wonderful atmosphere."

Vo Ha Tram cried when Hoa Minzy was unexpectedly eliminated. Phan Ngoc Luan's casual reaction of stroking his hair in this photo made people think he was fake with Hoa Minzy. |
Many neutral viewers believe that, although she did not have a chance to compete for the championship, it is clear that Familiar Faces has become a "springboard" for Hoa Minzy to regain the love of fans, especially after her noisy love story with soccer player Cong Phuong was leaked.
With her natural charm and charisma, after this show, many people believe that Hoa Minzy will find the right direction for her artistic journey.
The Gala “Familiar Faces 2016” will air on the evening of July 16 with the competition of the top 4 contestants: Vo Ha Tram, Phan Ngoc Luan, Ha Thuy Anh and Bach Cong Khanh./.
