At the end of the chamber music finale, the four most impressive faces that made it to the final ranking were Nguyen Tien Hung, Le Thi Dung, Tran Thi Bich Ngoc and Nguyen Bao Yen. In this competition night, the female contestants brought performances that were far more outstanding than their male opponents.
If in the previous competition nights, Nguyen Tien Hung and Pham Trung Kien had received many compliments, in the national final night of the song "Dong Thinh", they could not really maintain their form. Even though they performed the song "Ba Me Gac Ma" quite emotionally, according to the assessment of some members of the Art Council, Pham Trung Kien made some technical errors and he could not really control his voice.

It is known that before the national final night of the chamber music competition, Tran Thi Bich Ngoc and Nguyen Bao Yen had some health problems, but these two contestants tried their best to give the audience excellent performances.
One of the performances that received the most praise was probably Nguyen Bao Yen's Tonight's Song. The singer born in 1990 decided to choose an excerpt from Strauss's play The Bat to perform, hoping to bring the audience a bright and cheerful performance because for many people, chamber music is still a rather dry genre. With a high, strong voice and good technique, Bao Yen truly mastered her performance, thereby receiving countless compliments from experts.

Another contestant in the Top 4 who also received positive comments was Le Thi Dung – the representative of Thai Nguyen. Even before the national final night, Le Thi Dung was considered one of the most promising faces in chamber music. She had conquered the audience and the judges in the Northern region when she performed the song Canh chim bao tin vui with her powerful voice.
