In Vietnam, Bolero is controversial right from the identifier. Many artists claim that it is a music genre, others claim it is just an imported music from abroad.
After the outspoken speech of Tung Duong, the Bolero is once again the subject of “buzzing” the past few days.
Previously, musician Quoc Trung, Le Minh Son and Bao Yen also had controversy when there were separate perspectives on issues related to this lyrical genre.
With the majority of Vietnamese public, Bolero is a familiar name though not Vietnamese. However, not all young audiences know where Bolero comes from, how “storming” in the South and why it exploded again in recent years.

Bao Yen – a famous Bolero vocalist – once shared Zing.vn that Bolero has a rank, not any musician or musician. “There are people of high class, normal people, unable to equate, like singers who also have A, B, C, D”, female singers emphasized.
According to Bao Yen, in Bolero, Truc Phuong and Lam Phuong music lines are considered “King Bolero”, are top class because of the full lyrics. Wanting to write such words must live through suffering, dewy wind, must be refined to be subtle.
While, the songs of the Vinh composer are lower ranked. “Vinh’s music with words like ‘I wish my house is in the same place, I can stay awake tonight’, how can I be called King. Vinh’s music is only for ordinary people, less educated”, singing voice Bolero points out its views.
Meanwhile, musician – music critic Nguyen Quang Long classifies Truc Phuong’s Bolero and Lam Phuong as “civilized”: “If you have to use short words most to distinguish from other Bolero songs, you can use two words of civilization “, male musician said.

From the purely Bolero voice problem, the new Bolero refreshing to these views of the music is easy to get mixed opinions. Some Bolero purses like “fire ants” that anyone who touches will become the focus of public opinion and are stoned mercilessly.
When musician Le Minh Son said “The explosion of Bolero music night is stagnant, suffering with creators”, with feedback “I would rather be a guy obsolete in Bolero than listening to weird music “. Le Minh Son chose to remain silent afterwards.
Before Le Minh Son, musician Quoc Trung also argued when asking the question: “Young and sophisticated young intellectuals but passionate about cheesy music. Is it normal? ” A judgment has been backlash …
Most recently, Tung Duong stated the point ” The young and old are both immersed in Bolero, it is a regressive music “ . In fact, Tung Duong did not intend to dismiss Bolero, he himself said that “Bolero is a memory, a music with a strong vitality, no one is allowed to ignore”.
The male singer asks: “If all the light singers will switch to singing Bolero for expensive shows, to make money easily, what will the music be like?” And a storm of criticism erupted at Tung Duong.
