Why did singer Thanh Lam miss the title of People's Artist?

Ms. Huong shared on Dan Tri that the file was sent by her to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism through the Vietnam Contemporary Arts Theater. However, according to Mr. Phung Huy Can - Head of the Department of Emulation and Rewards of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Meritorious Artist Thanh Lam's file did not have enough votes from the Ministerial Council.

In addition, in terms of medals, Thanh Lam also does not have enough medals.

Ms. Huong expressed that although diva Thanh Lam has not participated in any music festivals or performances in recent years and therefore has no medals, she knew that this year the criteria for considering the award of titles had been flexible. Therefore, even though Thanh Lam did not have enough medals, she still boldly submitted her application.

Thanh Lam and her mother is Meritorious Artist Thanh Huong.

After her daughter's application was rejected, Meritorious Artist Thanh Huong said she met with a representative of the Department of Emulation and Rewards and was told that the medal was not the first consideration, but that it was not awarded because the members of the Ministerial Council had not voted for it. Immediately after that, she also submitted a request to her superiors to ask them to reconsider, but the result remained unchanged.

“I myself used to work at Voice of Vietnam Radio, I didn't receive any medals but I was still considered for the title of Meritorious Artist. Similarly, artist Thanh Hoa also didn't receive any medals but was still considered for the title of People's Artist."Thanh Lam's mother explained.

Talking about her daughter, Ms. Huong said that Thanh Lam is a talented person with many contributions, but because she lives a straightforward, frank, and tactless life, she is not liked by the majority. Therefore, Thanh Lam always suffers many disadvantages in life.

“When I told her that her application for the title of People's Artist had been rejected, Lam did not show any regret. Lam told me that everything in life is due to fate, if it is not enough fate, it has not come yet. Mom, just take things lightly for a peaceful life. Lam reads many books about Buddhism, so she has many good thoughts that sometimes I have to nod and listen to her.”, Meritorious Artist Thanh Huong expressed.

Regarding the failure to receive the People's Artist title, Meritorious Artist Thanh Lam herself also said that she was not upset or burdened by the fact that she failed to receive the People's Artist title this time because she thought that the consideration of awarding a title to an artist was to consider the entire process of dedication, not just based on a few medals.
