Among them, the song "Tomorrow, someone will get married" by Voi Ban Don attracted 2.9 million views on YouTube. The identity of the mascot Voi Ban Don was predicted by the public with many names.
The advisory board including Tran Thanh, Toc Tien, Bich Phuong, and Bao Anh suggested the names Quoc Thien and Anh Tu. However, as the final rounds approached, Anh Tu was predicted more by the audience.
From a musical perspective, Voi Ban Don is most likely a light lirico tenor with a soft, lyrical tone.
He showed that he had been well-trained and had a solid foundation in vocal technique, demonstrated through his series of high notes. The most impressive performance was the chorus of the song "Tomorrow, People Get Married".
Possessing a Baritone voice, Quoc Thien always brings a very masculine feeling every time he sings. Although he doesn't have a very wide vocal range, Quoc Thien always knows how to turn the song into his strongest vocal range.
Quoc Thien's real name is Tran Quoc Thien, born in 1988 in Dong Nai, is the champion of Vietnam Idol season 2. He has released several albums such as: Because we are so in love, Sing with me, Quoc Thien Collection...
In 2020, Quoc Thien released the MV "Everything depends on fate", attracting nearly 12 million views on Youtube.
As for singer Anh Tu, he once denied being Voi Ban Don and predicted that the owner behind the mascot was Quoc Thien.
Anh Tu said: "I'm leaning towards Quoc Thien because he has a lot of techniques. He's super technical and can change his voice however he wants, I believe in Quoc Thien."
Anh Tu added that after the broadcast, many people texted him, even spammed his phone number to ask if it was Voi Ban Don or not.
Anh Tu was born in 1992, besides his stage name Anh Tu, he is also known by another name: Anh Tu The Voice.
Anh Tu gained public attention from The Voice 2017 contest where he won the runner-up prize. After the contest, Anh Tu joined the company of Dong Nhi and Ong Cao Thang.
However, the male singer's name really became famous since participating in the Rap Viet contest in 2020 and 2021 as a supporting singer, right after leaving Dong Nhi's management company - Ong Cao Thang.
Also during this time, Anh Tu released a series of music products: If We Are Unlucky, Dreaming of Happiness (theme song of the TV series Apple Blossom).
In addition to Quoc Thien and Anh Tu, on music forums, many audiences divided their opinions and made many more predictions such as Bui Anh Tuan and Dong Hung... Voi Ban Don brought special appeal to The Masked Singer season 2.
