"Brother Overcoming a Thousand Difficulties" has gone through 10 episodes, saying goodbye to 9 "talents".

However, on forums, audiences questioned the show's declining performance after each episode.

Currently, on the YouTube music trending chart, the highest-ranking performance is "Chiec Khan Pieu", ranked 11th.

Meanwhile, their "rival" "Anh trai say hi" took up 9/10 positions in the top 10, even though some stages were broadcast 3 weeks ago.

Views on YouTube for episode 10 also decreased compared to previous episodes, even though the show invited many experienced artists to assist.

When it aired on television, "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" was consistently ranked number 1 in viewership ratings. But in recent episodes, it dropped to number 2, being surpassed by another music show.

Looking back at the first broadcast period, the stages "If Only", "Perfume", "Drum Rice" once caused a stir on social networks, climbing the charts.

Now, performance 4 with special performances, blending traditional culture and modern colors has not really created an explosive effect.

However, "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" is aimed at audiences of many ages, with a format that renews songs that are familiar to the audience.

Most of the artists participating in the program do not have a long-standing, active fandom (fan club), promoting their names by increasing views and achievements.

Therefore, between the shows and the houses, there is no fierce competition for achievements like "Anh trai say hi". There, YouTube views or trending top are not the highest goals, but the desire to spread the beauty of traditional culture of the nation.

Perhaps Binz himself could not have imagined that one day he would have the opportunity to try singing Cheo on stage. Just a few performances ago, he was still passionate about rap songs about love, which were his forte.

The performance "Peach and Willow" was elaborately staged, uniquely combining the art of Cheo with hip hop. The village festival space was filled with red and the presence of People's Artist Thu Huyen brought an impressive stage.

Performance 4 was an emotional night when the 4 songs represented 4 different cultures. "Chiec Khan Pieu" is the culture of the ethnic groups in the Northwest, "Dao Lieu" is the material of Cheo, "Mua Tren Pho Hue " has the style of royal court music, and "Da Co Hoai Lang" is a familiar melody of traditional Southern music.

Candidates come from many regions, each with their own strengths, but all strive to build a cultural context with a strong, well-defined identity.

Images of panpipes, jew's harps, cat flutes, sweet cheo melodies, unique cup dances and flowing ao dai show that folk music and cultural materials are creatively exploited in "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai".

To transform, to become a part of that cultural space, Binz, Tang Phuc, Bang Kieu... completely changed their previous singing style, or the contestants had to learn to dance with cups, play the flute, and learn traditional dances.

However, the performances have not yet exploded like Anh trai say hi. On music forums, audiences believe that the fan groups of the "talented" need to be more active and make more efforts to bring Anh trai vu ngan cong thorn's performances to a better ranking on the top of popular music, thereby spreading their musical efforts more widely.
