'''''Vietnam Idol''''' ({{lang|vi|Thần tượng âm nhạc: Vietnam Idol}} or {{lang|vi|Thần tượng âm nhạc Việt Nam}} from season five) is a Vietnamese reality television competition to find new solo singing talents. It is part of the [[Idol series|''Idol'' franchise]]; it originated from the [[reality program]] ''[[Pop Idol]]'' created by British entertainment executive [[Simon Fuller]]. Starting from season eight, the show is produced by [[Vietnam Television]] and Cát Tiên Sa.
'''''Thần Tượng Âm Nhạc: Vietnam Idol''''' is the [[Vietnam]]ese version of the [[United Kingdom|British]] television hit show ''[[Pop Idol]]''. The show is produced by [[Ho Chi Minh City Television]] (HTV9) and the Vietnam Advertising Company (VAC). It is a talent contest to find a music artist. Vietnam Idol first season aired in 2007 with [[Phương Vy]] taking the title ahead of [[Ngọc Ánh]]. Season 2 commenced in late August, 2008 and began airing in September, following rescheduling by [[Ho Chi Minh City]] authorities.


==Season 1==
==History==
''Vietnam Idol'' was created based on the British show ''[[Pop Idol]]'' and U.S. show ''[[American Idol]]''. Đông Tây Promotion and its sponsor partner [[Unilever]] secured the format license for US$2 million, which was the highest licensing fee paid for a reality TV show in Vietnam at the time.<ref name="format">{{cite web|last1=Đàm|first1=Mộng Hoài|title=Game show truyền hình: Những ông trùm lũng đoạn là ai?|url=https://vtc.vn/game-show-truyen-hinh-nhung-ong-trum-lung-doan-la-ai-d113836.html|website=VTC News|date=24 April 2013 |access-date=29 May 2018|language=vi}}</ref> The show debuted in 2007 in Vietnam under the name ''Thần tượng âm nhạc: Vietnam Idol'' ("music idol: Vietnam idol"), broadcast by [[Ho Chi Minh City Television]] under the production of Đông Tây Promotion. Due to declined ratings in season two, the TV station and production company lost the license to produce a season to BHD Corp. and [[Vietnam Television]].<ref name="format"/> From season 5, the show was retitled to the full Vietnamese title ''{{lang|vi|Thần tượng âm nhạc Việt Nam}}'' ("Vietnamese music idol") as per branding regulations set by [[Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Vietnam)|Vietnam's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism]].
===Auditions===
Auditions were held at the following locations:
* [[Cần Thơ]]: April 7, 2007
* [[Hà Nội]]: April 15, 2007
* [[Đà Nẵng]]: April 22, 2007
* [[Hồ Chí Minh City]]: May 2, 2007


In 2017, BHD announced that the production of Vietnam Idol was on hiatus in hopes of "finding new talents" amidst a rise of new reality singing shows in Vietnam and fierce competition against existing formats including [[The X Factor Vietnam|''The X Factor'']] and [[The Voice of Vietnam|''The Voice'']].<ref name="VI_stopped">{{cite web|last1=Quỳnh|first1=Nguyễn|title=Vietnam Idol tạm dừng, khủng hoảng thí sinh, hát thi thành hát 'chơi'|url=https://tuoitre.vn/vietnam-idol-tam-dung-khung-hoang-thi-sinh-hat-thi-thanh-hat-choi-1309044.htm|website=Tuổi Trẻ Online|date=5 May 2017 |access-date=29 May 2018|language=vi}}</ref>
=== Theater Round ===
The contestants who passed the auditions, arrived in Ho Chi Minh City for the theater round where they were given songs from the judges to perform. Based on those performances, 30 contestants were chosen by the judges to proceed to the Piano Show.


In January 2023, it was announced that the show would make a return to [[VTV3]] with Cát Tiên Sa as the new production company.<ref>{{cite web |title=VIET NAM IDOL 2023 chính thức trở lại sau 7 năm chờ đợi |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAEegjPyQ6Y |website=Vietnam Idol YouTube Channel | date=6 January 2023 |access-date=29 January 2023}}</ref>
=== Piano Round ===
On the June 27, 2007, the Piano Show began, with the Top 30 [[Contestants]] singing in [[Ho Chi Minh City]] for the [[adjudicator|judges]] and the viewers. The contestants were allocated numbers so that viewers could vote for their favourite(s). The viewers were able to vote by phone or by [[SMS]]. Contestants were divided into three groups of ten with the top 3 contestants from each group advancing to the Gala Round. Eight from the three groups that did not proceed to the finals during the first three rounds, competed for the last position in the Top 10 during the Wildcards round.


=== Gala Round ===
==Series overview==
===Hosts and judges===
The gala round involves the contestants singing each week, with the contestant with the least votes each week being eliminated, until one contestant is left and crowned Vietnam Idol 2007. Before it began Thùy Dương withdrew from the Top 10 due to health issues with Ngọc Minh replacing her as he had received the second highest number of votes in the Wildcards round.
In the first season, ''Vietnam Idol'' was co-hosted by Thanh Thảo and Nguyên Vũ. In the second season, Nguyên Vũ was replaced by Sỹ Luân. From season 3 onward, there was only one host per season. Phan Anh hosted the show in three non-consecutive seasons, the most out of all the hosts in the show's history.


''Vietnam Idol'' maintained a 3-people panel across the series run except for [[Vietnam Idol (season 3)|season 3]] when there were 4 judges. The panel usually consists of a singer, a producer and a composer.
=== Grand Finale ===
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:1em auto 1em auto;"

==Season 2==
Following the success of the show, it was confirmed by producers that it would have Vietnam Idol air for a second season, but authorities subsequently postponed the contest until August.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://english.vietnamnet.vn/lifestyle/2008/06/790386/|title=2nd Vietnam Idol resumes this August|publisher=VietNamNet|date=June 25, 2008|accessdate=2008-07-02}}</ref>

The new season will have a different structure, with new host Sỹ Luân replacing Nguyên Vũ. The panel of judges also changed, with new judges Hồ Hoài Anh and Trần Mạnh Tuấn joining Siu Black.

===Audition Round===
* [[Cần Thơ]]: July 23 - July 24, 2008
* [[Hà Nội]]: July 29 - July 31, 2008
* [[Đà Nẵng]]: August 5 - August 8, 2008
* [[Hồ Chí Minh City]]: August 14 - August 16, 2008

During the auditions, contestants were invited to perform the whole or part of a song to the producers, who decide whether they will perform to the judges. Unlike other Idol contests, the contestants are not notified immediately whether they will advance to the theater round by the judges, but must wait for the producers to contact them after the auditions. Unsuccessful contestants were not contacted.

===Theater Round===
The Theater Round involved the 94 contestants, who were invited to participate in Ho Chi Minh City in late August 2008. During this round, contestants were required to perform songs chosen by the producers of the contest.

===Studio Round===
From the 94 contestants, the Top 20 were chosen and placed into two groups according to gender. During a number of weeks, the two groups performed on alternating weeks, with viewers' votes ultimately deciding the Top 10.

{{Main|Vietnam Idol (season 2)}}
Following the success of season one, it was confirmed by the producers that Vietnam Idol had been renewed for a second season with auditions would take place in June. However, the authorities subsequently postponed the contest until late July, early August, stating that there were many similar contests on HTV from then to the year's end and the event was not suitable in the country's current social and economic situation.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://english.vietnamnet.vn/lifestyle/2008/06/790386/|title=2nd Vietnam Idol resumes this August|publisher=VietNamNet|date=June 25, 2008|access-date=2008-07-02 |archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20080630201404/http://english.vietnamnet.vn/lifestyle/2008/06/790386/ <!-- Bot retrieved archive -->|archive-date = 2008-06-30}}</ref> As a result, auditions commenced a month later than the original schedule. The season premiered on September 3 on HTV7. Sỹ Luân replaced Nguyên Vũ in season 1 to co-host the show with Thanh Thảo. The judges panel welcomed Hồ Hoài Anh and Trần Mạnh Tuấn as two new judges along with the original judge from season one - Siu Black.


At the Grand Finale, [[Quốc Thiên]] was announced the winner, taking the title over Thanh Duy. The coronation song for season one "''Nụ cười và những ước mơ''" was used again for this season.

Vietnam Idol (Thần tượng âm nhạc: Vietnam Idol or Thần tượng âm nhạc Việt Nam from season five) is a Vietnamese reality television competition to find new solo singing talents. It is part of the Idol franchise; it originated from the reality program Pop Idol created by British entertainment executive Simon Fuller. Starting from season eight, the show is produced by Vietnam Television and Cát Tiên Sa.

History

[edit]

Vietnam Idol was created based on the British show Pop Idol and U.S. show American Idol. Đông Tây Promotion and its sponsor partner Unilever secured the format license for US$2 million, which was the highest licensing fee paid for a reality TV show in Vietnam at the time.[1] The show debuted in 2007 in Vietnam under the name Thần tượng âm nhạc: Vietnam Idol ("music idol: Vietnam idol"), broadcast by Ho Chi Minh City Television under the production of Đông Tây Promotion. Due to declined ratings in season two, the TV station and production company lost the license to produce a season to BHD Corp. and Vietnam Television.[1] From season 5, the show was retitled to the full Vietnamese title Thần tượng âm nhạc Việt Nam ("Vietnamese music idol") as per branding regulations set by Vietnam's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

In 2017, BHD announced that the production of Vietnam Idol was on hiatus in hopes of "finding new talents" amidst a rise of new reality singing shows in Vietnam and fierce competition against existing formats including The X Factor and The Voice.[2]

In January 2023, it was announced that the show would make a return to VTV3 with Cát Tiên Sa as the new production company.[3]

Controversies

[edit]

The show has been criticized for alleged voting irregularities and lack of transparency. Major newspapers such as Thanh Niên and Tuổi Trẻ ran stories about votes for a contestant being counted for another contestant, though there was no concrete evidence to verify this claim, and the organisers stated that the results were not tampered with.[22][23] While the organizers maintain that allowing up to 500 votes per phone number and not publicly tallying votes are standard practices seen in other Idol versions, they have been accused of doing so to maximize profits at the expense of fairness.[24] Furthermore, there were rumors about contestants' relationship with one of the judges and the PR manager of Vietnam Idol.[23][25] A public auditor from the Singaporean auditing firm Paul Hooi & Co. was hired to audit the vote counting process during the final.
