Bich Ngoc, Trong Hieu: Who will be the champion of Vietnam Idol?
Choosing Bich Ngoc and Trong Hieu for the final night can be said to be an early victory for Vietnam Idol this year. These are two evenly matched opponents, which the audience has been looking forward to.
Trong Hieu and Bich Ngoc are the two strongest contestants so far. They had a very good start and went through 9 live shows without showing any signs of fatigue.
These are two contestants who created a lot of emotions for the listeners and received many compliments from the judges.
Equal in weight
The appeal of Trong Hieu and Bich Ngoc comes from their youthfulness, enthusiasm, self-confidence, and being themselves in each of their performances. Not every contestant has this. In each of Hieu and Ngoc's eyes and gestures on stage, they exude confidence and a spirit of conquest. There are times when they lose control, but it's all because they're too "excited".
Trong Hieu is a rather special case, originally a dancer, trained abroad, Hieu possesses performance skills that even the Vietnam Idol judges had to admit, more professional than many domestic stars. Hieu's singing voice is nothing special, but in Vietnam it is new and trendy, in the context of reality TV competitions that consider singing foreign music as a "trend".

Bich Ngoc, Trong Hieu - evenly matched in the final night |
The only remaining concern is about his ability to sing Vietnamese, Hieu has shown that he can adapt faster than everyone expected. He easily mastered Vietnamese songs, even quickly conquering the audience. During the competition, Hieu became a face in magazines as a symbol of a new style, but after the competition, he will be the target of "managers".
Bich Ngoc does not have the physical strength of Hieu, but her stage charm is no less than Trong Hieu. Ngoc possesses a strong, wide-range voice and flexible vibrato. She easily met most of the competition's requirements. Ngoc transformed the "hits" of Thanh Bui and Thu Minh into a completely different version, "branded" as Bich Ngoc. This ability shows that Bich Ngoc is completely worthy of the race for the championship title.
In the upcoming final night, Ngoc will have a very difficult time with Trong Hieu, because Hieu is very popular with fans, he has always been the contestant with the highest number of votes, second from the beginning of the competition until now. Hieu is holding in his hands a greater chance to win the championship title.
Successful innovation
The success of Bich Ngoc and Trong Hieu, apart from their talent, is also due to luck in participating in the contest at a time when the producers were determined to innovate Vietnam Idol. The innovations are showing clear results.
The Final Round of Vietnam Idol 2015 is scientifically structured, suitable for the contestants' level, while still ensuring entertainment. The theme music nights: International Song Gala, Top Hits, Lively Music Night, Message of Love, Breaking the Rules, Duet, New Compositions... were all very successful.
Inviting famous artists to coach the contestants is also a great success of this season. We must mention famous music producer Mark Walton, diva Ha Tran, musician Nguyen Hai Phong, diva Hong Nhung, musician Duc Tri, singer Tung Duong, and musician couple Ngoc Le - Phuong Thao.
In addition, Vietnam Idol also "played big" by inviting 3 young artists who are very popular, Vu Cat Tuong, Khac Hung, Pham Hai Au, to compose a song "tailor-made" for the top 3, instead of just ordering a song for the winner like every year. In addition, the top 3 also organized a mini show in their hometown.
If in previous seasons, the quality of the live competition nights fluctuated, this year the 9 live performances were very successful. The contestants themselves also improved significantly. This year's audience was no longer indifferent to Vietnam Idol. They voted very positively and contributed to bringing Vietnam Idol to the destination that both professionals and audiences expected: the final of Bich Ngoc and Trong Hieu.
This year's Vietnam Idol jury, consisting of three key members: director Nguyen Quang Dung, singer Thu Minh, and musician Thanh Bui, has completed its mission excellently. Especially musician Thanh Bui. His sincere, straightforward, and sharp professional comments not only help the contestants but also have a very positive impact on the audience.
