"The dummies do not have the talent, to see how long it takes, and soon be eliminated."

In Vpop, this statement does not seem strange to people who have known the name Son Tung M-TP. As a matter of fact, for a long time, the products of the Thai Binh singer have been attributed to the two words "borrowed", and none of the products have been put on the analysis table. . Many people said that the fun to find the "copy" in the products of Son Tung M-TP seems to have become a "specialty" in him.

However, it can not be denied the hot music of Tung M-TP between the music market today, the listening and the view. It can be seen, despite the negative is always towards him, but the rising popularity is undeniable. Not to say, in the three most recent music of Son Tung is "We do not belong together", "Lac Loi" and "This place has English", can see the huge growth in the number of people The view during the launch of this MV is very impressive. If "We do not belong together" reached 3 million views of the day, "Lost" a day more than 4 million, the latest MV "This place has him" reached 7 million. With this data, Son Tung M-TP even leads the world according to an international statistical website, and this is almost impossible for a country with a small music background like in Vietnam.

If you just look at the market around Son Tung, people can say he is the catch-lucky. But look more closely, everyone knows if it is only live by the dash, this young singer will never be able to touch the "terrible" achievements. Is luck, talent, or good strategy? The key to opening the door explains "the bomb is hot" - Son Tung M-TP is still the answer many people love - haters curious male singer.

Making the song more pervasive, encouraging people to listen. Assuming concur with the question of music imitation, at least can not deny the catch phrase, pure Vietnamese is still the stamp of Son Tung M-TP.

For those who underestimate the tone of Son Tung, do not forget Thai Binh singers who have graduated from Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music 2012, show that his voice is highly valued in an abandoned environment. Through all the elements of appearance, entertainment. Although not possessing the vocal "terror", the pronunciation is bold "region", but male singers are smart to turn that into their own characteristics. His improvisation, improvisation and individuality help him not get confused whether to sing lyrical or exciting music.

Can be compared, Son Tung's voice mixed with rice cake or chili salt toast. No nutrition expert can carry out the assessment, weigh the same with other sorceries, and enjoy the people do not need to bother what they like, they "eat" only.

Little is known, most of Son Tung's songs are released by the market himself and built at home, in order to keep full of emotions and personal colors without being controlled by anyone. Vietnamese artists who are capable of doing this should only count on their fingers.
