All-round Rookie: The Best Ballad Performance Revealed
The performance of "Crying with You" by Long Hoang, Phuc Nguyen and Duc Duy in episode 7 of All-round Rookie was considered the best ballad performance from the beginning of the show, moving both producer SOOBIN and his opponents.
Emotional ballad performance
Episode 7 of the show All-round Rookie witnessed the emotional ballad performance "Crying with You" from three rookies Long Hoang, Phuc Nguyen and Duc Duy. This performance received enthusiastic applause from the audience and was considered the best vocal performance since the show began.
The original song by Mr. Siro was remixed by the all-powerful Producer SOOBIN, adjusting the climax and adding an X-Part to increase the difficulty, while also creating space for the rookies to show off their vocal techniques. Although SOOBIN was a little worried at first because the members were young and lacked experience to show the depth of the song, all three exceeded expectations.
The performance not only captivated the audience but also moved SOOBIN himself. He shared: “At the end, I was a bit emotional… Today, I felt that Long, Duy and Nguyen poured out everything they had to perform this song.” Even the opposing team Fenix expressed their deep impression and said they got “goosebumps” while enjoying the performance.
Pressure and strategic decisions at Performance 3
Performance Round 3 posed big challenges for the teams. The three "frozen" rookies, Thai Le Minh Hieu, Wonbi and Minhtin, faced the risk of not being able to participate in important performances. The situation became tense when they had to temporarily hand over their name tags to professional dancers during rehearsals.
When choosing the challenge level, SOOBIN initially wanted to set a target of 115% due to his confidence in the quality of the music and production. However, after considering the risks involved with the members being frozen, he decided to choose a safer level of 100%. This decision was to ensure that the members could be rescued and to create a solid foundation for the following rounds.
The rookies' efforts to break the limit
Another highlight of episode 7 was the decision of rookie Swan Nguyen. Although SOOBIN trusted her to be nominated for the vocal lineup of "Crying with You", she proactively asked to switch to the performance "Broken Mirror Make Peace" with the desire to try a new musical color and escape her comfort zone.
Swan Nguyen's choice, along with the success of the performance "Crying with You", has raised the audience's expectations for the performance "Broken Mirror Makes Peace". This performance promises to bring a unique folk music color, different from the modern style that the rookies have performed before.
