Coach My Linh shared her heartfelt thoughts, noting that most of the contestants in the fourth round of the competition were equally matched, with each performance showcasing the emotions and personality of its director. Another noteworthy point is that contestants praised by their coaches and chosen by the audience weren't guaranteed to advance. They left the competition, but all shared that they had gained so much from it.

(Baonghean.vn) -Coach My Linh shared her heartfelt thoughts, noting that most of the contestants in the fourth round of the competition were equally matched, with each performance showcasing the emotions and personality of its director. Another noteworthy point is that contestants praised by their coaches and chosen by the audience weren't guaranteed to advance. They left the competition, but all shared that they had gained so much from it.

Perhaps the most impressive performance came from "Dư âm" (Echoes), a song composed by Nguyễn Văn Tý, performed by Thanh Trúc and Hoàng Nhật Minh from Hồng Nhung's team. The song brought a blend of old and modern feel to The Voice stage, from the pronunciation and enunciation to the melody. Before the performance, Thanh Trúc shared that she might not be able to sing again after her thyroid surgery. Therefore, singing as if it were her last allowed her warm, emotional voice to breathe new life into "Dư âm," creating unique and deeply moving sounds.

And, as coach Dam Vinh Hung observed, "The female voice handled the lower register while the male voice sang the higher register, making the song sound both familiar and unique." Although coach Hong Nhung chose Hoang Nhat Minh because his vocal expertise suited the "long term of The Voice," Thanh Truc was immediately saved by coach My Linh simply because she was so impressed with the performance: "Your appearance, your warm voice, made me imagine the image of a Hanoi girl from the past." That's why, even though she wasn't chosen by her coach, Thanh Truc didn't leave empty-handed.



The song "Du Am" (Lingering Melody), performed by Thanh Truc and Hoang Nhat Minh, left a lasting impression on the audience.

Despite not being selected and not being saved by any coach, the charismatic singer Duc Hung from My Linh's team didn't leave empty-handed. He received high praise from his coach, who promised to support him after the competition. Duc Hung and Phan Tuan performed the song "You Are Just a Dream," with Duc Hung's captivating and unique performance, particularly his creative improvisations, standing out. Duc Hung didn't show any sadness at losing; he shared that he had gained so much during his training with My Linh's team, and this will be invaluable for his long artistic journey.

In this fourth round of the competition, coach Dam Vinh Hung presented two powerful vocalists, Quoc Huy and Phu Quy, with the song "Yêu mình anh" (Only You). Both singers showcased their "class" with captivating performances. They convincingly revamped Thu Minh's hit song. Phu Quy's powerful high notes gave listeners a sense of maturity, experience, and stability in his voice. However, Quoc Huy's performance conveyed a passionate and fiery spirit. His captivating stage presence earned him points with coach Dam Vinh Hung. Although not chosen, vocal instructor Phu Quy left a lasting impression on the audience. And clearly, his defeat shouldn't mean "returning empty-handed," because if he performs on stage, people will recognize him. That's the true success of a singer!

In this fourth battle round, international songs did not dominate. The songs performed lacked poignant, soulful melodies and offered no opportunity for contestants to showcase their vocals; they were simply fast-paced songs designed for a cheerful audience. Therefore, the song "I Know You Now," performed by Thủy Tiên and Hoàng Phúc, despite praise from the coaches, easily faded from the audience's memory. Thủy Tiên's departure was a source of regret for the loss of such a powerful, husky voice!



Feeling Good (The Muse) performed by Thai Chau and Van Viet

The only international song from Quoc Trung's team that really stirred the audience was "Feeling Good" (The Muse), performed by Thai Chau and Van Viet. Coach Quoc Trung not only demonstrated his talent as a music producer by helping his contestants improve, but also his precision in pairing and choosing songs. His team's two vocalists, Thai Chau and Van Viet, delivered the best performance of the night with "Feeling Good" (The Muse). Van Viet presented the image of a romantic troubadour with a resonant and bright voice, while Thai Chau showcased a husky voice and the carefree attitude of a rocker. The audience was surprised when Quoc Trung decided to choose Thai Chau to advance. The coaches pressed the save button for Van Viet, and he decided to join Dam Vinh Hung's team.

The contestants eliminated in this round were all incredibly talented singers, and their performances left a strong positive impression on the audience. Their performances weren't focused on competition; instead, the contestants delivered dedicated performances, leaving behind a sense of regret for both the audience and the coaches alike.
