Tieu Vy caused controversy when singing "Lac Troi" in the Miss World talent competition.

On the afternoon of November 13, Miss World 2018 just went through the preliminary round of the "Talent" competition, which requires contestants to show their artistic talent and personality on stage. This year's representative of Vietnam - Miss Tran Tieu Vy - chose the songDriftingby Son Tung M-TP.

Ms. Pham Kim Dung - Deputy Head of the Organizing Committee of Miss Vietnam 2018 saidDriftingis a famous song among young people as well as Vietnamese music lovers. The crew found the music of this song youthful and modern, thereby wishing to introduce Vietnamese music to international friends. When discussing with singer Son Tung for permission to use the song, Tieu Vy received enthusiastic support. "Vietnamese music, besides rich and lyrical songs, also develops with the modern and vibrant trends of the world.Drifting"The music was arranged and harmonized by musician Phuong Uyen to suit Tieu Vy's voice, while also highlighting the traditional sounds of Vietnamese music like the Dan Bau," said Ms. Kim Dung.

Before the song commentsDriftingtoo much for Tieu Vy, Ms. Kim Dung said, the audience was a bit harsh. According to her, Miss Vietnam 2018 was participating in a beauty contest, not a music playground. Before that, the crew gave Tieu Vy five other songs to practice, but musician Phuong Uyen thoughtDriftingmost suitable. After that, Tieu Vy diligently practiced professionally with singer Thieu Bao Trang, showing her thorough investment and expectation that the performance would leave a good impression on the judges: "Although the time was not long, Tieu Vy's efforts and attempts were clearly shown. We also received many compliments about the uniqueness in the ancient image of the Vietnamese representative from both domestic and international fans."

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Nga - General Director of Elite Vietnam Company expressed surprise at Tieu Vy's choice. Having many years of experience in consulting and bringing Vietnamese contestants to Miss World, Ms. Thuy Nga assessed that the country's representative would find it difficult to compete with other talented competitors such as professional singers and dancers. According to Ms. Thuy Nga, Miss Tieu Vy, in addition to introducing Vietnamese music, also emphasized the visual aspect with elaborate and impressive costumes. "I hope that the overall song combined with the costumes and dance moves can create an effect on the judges."

As representatives who have competed in Miss World, the beauties Do My Linh (2017), Truong Dieu Ngoc (2016), Nguyen Thi Loan (2014) all assessed that talent is a difficult competition at Miss World, requiring contestants to have real artistic talent. Runner-up Nguyen Thi Loan said that in 2014, the talent performances that made it to the final round were quite diverse in genres such as: danceSwan Lake, opera singing... In 2016, Dieu Ngoc had to compete with many other outstanding entries: violin, piano, acrobatics, magic...

First, all contestants took turns showing their talents to the judges, from which the top 20 were selected to continue competing in a separate performance night. According to Nguyen Thi Loan, the important criteria is that the performance must be lively, have content that attracts viewers, and not simply participate for fun. However, the language in which the contestants perform is not as important as their voice quality, performance style, and passion for the performance. Therefore, in 2014, although Nguyen Thi Loan's sand painting performance did not make it into the top 5, it was still chosen to open the charity gala night later because of its uniqueness and interest.

Comments on song selectionDriftingAccording to Tieu Vy and Do My Linh, the juniors performing a song entirely in Vietnamese brings a new look and at the same time introduces the country's language. Miss Vietnam 2016 said the judges are very fair, and only contestants who show outstanding talent will be awarded.

Nguyen Thi Loan also highly appreciated the entertainment value of the song that Tieu Vy performed in the contest. "If Tieu Vy is confident with the song, she has the right to perform it in the contest. When the judges have not announced the results, we cannot judge anything," the beauty shared.

Miss Dieu Ngoc herself loves Tieu Vy's MV and the production team, but is concerned whether her "junior" can carry that spirit into the official competition. In 2016, Dieu Ngoc had an incident with the monochord performance on the background music.Rice drum. The piano had a sound problem during transportation to the US, forcing her to switch to a dance at the last minute - even though the performance was for another competition, "Dances of the World".

Miss My Linh also encountered a similar situation. She carefully prepared her performance on the Dan Bau with the aim of honoring traditional music. However, during the exam, she could not plug in the speaker wire due to the actual conditions in the exam room. The organizers had to "fix" the situation by placing the microphone close to the Dan Bau, causing the sound to be poor, affecting My Linh's performance.

Talent is one of the main competitions of the Miss World contest. The contestants who perform best will be awarded points and have the opportunity to advance further in the final night. At Miss World 2010, Miss Ireland won the 'Talent' competition that year and entered the top 5. Miss World 2012 - Vu Van Ha also won the Talent award before being crowned the highest title.
