Morning Star crowns three winners

These results weren’t surprising since all of these 3 final winners had recorded the highest scores on earlier selection rounds. Le Anh Dung from Thanh Hoa province won over the 9-member jury with a new work by veteran musician An Thuyen titled Do You Want to Hold Autumn. Le Anh Dung also won VietNamNet’s audiences’ prize. In the folk music category, Dinh Thi Thanh Le from Ha Tinh province chose a song about her own hometown called I love Ha Tinh for her performance. And Pham Ha Linh from Hanoi sang a particularly difficult and unfamiliar song, Thousand-eye Thousand-arm Bodhisattva,in the light music category. The interesting surprise of the final night was that all of these 3 winning songs were written by musician An Thuyen, who has decided to accept 5 potential Morning Star contestants to the Military University of Culture and Arts of which he is the president. The other 6 final contestants were all awarded second prizes. Of the 9 finalists, 7 are currently studying at the Hanoi Conservatory. This suggests that Morning Star requires a great deal of its contestants, many of whom are not only natural talents but have also gone through one type of training or another. However, this year’s Morning Star has been relatively “quiet” for several reasons, one of which is that it was held in Nha Trang City, which is quite faraway from Hanoi and Saigon, where the media concentrates.
