For a very long time, the question of which singer deserves the title of Vietnamese music diva has always been a hot topic. The endless debates continue to take place day after day, from one singer to another, but in the end, Vietnamese music diva is still a very vague title...

Thu Minh is also one of the most mentioned names in the "diva wars". Because if considered fairly, besides Thu Minh, there are not many stars with enough power and scope to compete for that title. From her voice, influence in the Vietnamese music industry to her contributions to music, Thu Minh is holding an inviolable position in her territory. Finding a worthy counterpart to Thu Minh at the moment is not easy, although the Vietnamese entertainment world has never lacked shining stars. But shining like Thu Minh is doing, is another story...

Thu Minh chưa bao giờ để tâm đến việc được ca tụng là diva.
Thu Minh has never cared about being praised as a diva.

Naturally, people still assume that Thu Minh is the "next generation diva", "the 5th diva", as if it were an impossible story. And in reality, it is very difficult to argue against this, because finding an artist more deserving of the title of diva than Thu Minh is not easy. However, in the heat of debate and criticism, many people forget whether Thu Minh is excited about the title of diva and in her position, is there a need for another title to honor her?

Throughout her career, the thing that Thu Minh has never lacked is awards and honors. Since she was a 17-year-old girl, she has been accustomed to standing at the pinnacle of her career, thanks to her tireless efforts and wonderful natural voice. After nearly 25 years of singing, her musical legacy has been covered with large and small awards, both domestically, regionally and internationally.

Fans of Thu Minh would not have any difficulty in listing the most famous milestones she has ever achieved, from the first prize of the Ho Chi Minh City Television Singing Contest at the age of 17 to the gold and silver prizes of the Asean Golden Voice Festival, and the pinnacle is the award for the best Asian artist that once shocked the Vietnamese music industry. For any artist, those honors are more than enough to make people proud of what they have achieved in their career.

No one is afraid of having too much honor or career glory, but for an artist like Thu Minh, the appeal of fancy titles is not enough to attract or make her crave. Not only because she has had so many more brilliant milestones in her career, but also because of the mindset of an artist who knows better than anyone else her true value. It is no coincidence that when Thu Minh frankly compared "titles are not made to eat", many people felt sympathy and trust. Because they know, this singer is telling the truth. She has never cared about whether she deserves to be called a queen or a diva, because she clearly understands that the position she is standing in does not need to be embellished by anything.

It seems that Thu Minh has never once put herself in those noble titles, even when people insist on putting her there. Queen of dance music? The whole showbiz is too familiar with that nickname, but Thu Minh has never admitted or used that nickname once. Diva is the same. Even when many other artists are proud, proud or angry, upset because of that title, Thu Minh seems to not care at all about how many divas she is.

Chim phượng hoàng thì không cần tới bất cứ một chiếc vương miện lộng lẫy nào ở trên đầu.
The phoenix does not need any splendid crown on its head.

Thu Minh's pride does not lie in what title people call her, but in how she proves to everyone what she can bring to them! That pride is compressed by Thu Minh in standing on stage, in moments of sublimation with music and in extremely classy performances that almost exclusively belong to Thu Minh. Just look at her previous shows and the upcoming show called Fire Phoenix, people will understand why she has no desire to be a normal diva or music queen. Because for a long time, her desires and dreams are no longer on the ground...

People have been wondering about the name of the live show celebrating her 25 years of singing called Fire Phoenix, until they found out what Thu Minh had prepared behind the scenes. It was not just a normal performance, but also Thu Minh’s undisguised pride and her desire to fly higher and further in art. Dreams that are given wings to soar, without needing a heavy crown on the head…

Up to this point, Thu Minh is still a rare female artist with enough class and ability to bring the audience such a diverse and colorful musical feast. Not only does Thu Minh sing well in all different genres of music, she has done much more by leaving her own mark on each hit song of many genres. Older audiences will still feel the emotions of a few decades ago when listening to the graceful soaring of the K'nia Tree from Thu Minh's voice, while young people will still "go crazy" and sublimate with the dance music that once covered all dance halls and large music venues. She is also a rare singer in showbiz with enough caliber to stand next to the "king of red music" Trong Tan in a worthy way, creating a strange and surprising highlight in her own music night. Blending the familiar and the new, the unconventional and the traditional, the emotional sublimation and the depth of the soul, the singer's desire to soar in the artistic sky is like the shadow of a proud phoenix.

And of course, the phoenix doesn't need any splendid crown on its head...
