Musician 'Ong Ba Anh' causes controversy when nominated for Green Wave 2016

Although appearing in Sing my, when the voting for Blue Wave 2016 ended, before the "phenomenon" of Ong Ba Anh, the award's Organizing Committee decided to consult journalists about the case of Le Thien Hieu.

Le Thien Hieu - the guy who caused a stir with the song 'Ong ba anh' recently.

Accordingly, the Discovery Face category of Blue Wave 2016, in addition to Suni Ha Linh, Rocker Nguyen, Minh Nhu, also includes Le Thien Hieu. This is a special case because when the voting period of Blue Wave 2016 ended 5 days later, the program Sing my song - Best song aired its first episode. In which, the performance of the song Ong ba anh by Le Thien Hieu suddenly became a "phenomenon" after just one night. Up to now, this song has had more than 26 million views on YouTube.

According to the award organizers, the criteria for the Discovered Faces category are for faces coming out of music competitions, or completely new faces, who may not have a music product or a song in the top of the Blue Wave but have been noticed and highly appreciated by experts and audiences...

Considering that Le Thien Hieu is very suitable for these criteria, the Organizing Committee decided to consult the Press Council. Although it caused a lot of controversy, including opinions that the regulations set from the beginning should not be broken, at the press conference on December 22, 31/50 votes (more than 50%) agreed to nominate Le Thien Hieu in this category.

Also at the press conference, the Organizing Committee announced that this year will be the last year that Blue Wave has the Top Gold award. From next year, this award will have a more youthful and modern format to most accurately update the Vietnamese music market.

The 2016 Green Wave Awards Ceremony will take place at 7:30 p.m. on January 3, 2017 at Lan Anh Music Stage (HCMC), live on HTV1.
