Top 6 Memorable Pairs from 'Little Familiar Faces 2016' Episode 1

Recreating the song 'Going to School' by Anh Khang and Tạ Quang Thắng, Đình Hiếu and Quốc Thái delivered an excellent performance and received praise from the judging panel and enthusiastic support from the audience. Quốc Thái, a winner of the 2013 Đồ Rê Mí competition, impressed judge Mỹ Linh with his beautiful, soulful voice. With Đình Hiếu's guidance, this duo is expected to shine even brighter in the upcoming rounds.

This pair made their debut in the first episode with a dynamic performance as Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera performing 'Move Like Jagger'. The routine, which involved both dancing and singing, proved to be a challenge for the young Minh Chiến and Hà Thúy Anh. Despite his young age, Minh Chiến showed remarkable skill in handling the song, though sometimes he lost focus and missed the beat. Hà Thúy Anh, a familiar name from the adult version of 'Little Familiar Faces', is expected to bring a lot of excitement to this year's show alongside her partner.

Thu Hằng and Công Quốc transformed into the 365 group and performed the song 'Bống bống bang bang'. However, as judge Hồng Vân noted, while the 365 group is known for their strong dancing skills, both Thu Hằng and Công Quốc struggled with the combination of singing and dancing in their first performance. Though they were slightly outperformed by the other teams, they still delivered an impressive performance. This pair is expected to improve and shine in the upcoming episodes.

Impressively winning the first week’s top prize, Lê Giang & Mai Chi captivated the judges, Mỹ Linh, Hoài Linh, and Hồng Vân, with their performance embodying the singers Cẩm Ly and Hương Lan. As a veteran of cải lương, Lê Giang perfectly transformed into Hương Lan, capturing every detail from her gestures to the emotions in the music. Meanwhile, the youngest contestant, Mai Chi, brilliantly recreated Cẩm Ly's image in 'Ru lại câu hò', earning a perfect score from each judge with her authentic, sweet folk singing.

In addition, this talented pair emerged as the champions of 'Gương mặt thân quen nhí 2016' after winning the final show held on December 30, 2016, in Ho Chi Minh City.

The song 'Những bông hoa trong vườn Bác' brought a powerful performance of singer Hồng Nhung’s persona by the duo Vũ Hà and Diệp Nhi. With Vũ Hà’s quirky Hồng Nhung and Diệp Nhi’s graceful transformation, they delivered an outstanding first performance and promised even greater moments in the show. Both Vũ Hà and Diệp Nhi possess clear, high-pitched voices that captivate the audience.

With a successful opening performance, Lê Việt and Nhã Thy transformed into the legendary African-American singer Gloria Gaynor, performing her iconic hit 'I Will Survive'. This lively and challenging song posed a big test, as young Nhã Thy, known for her clear voice, had to master the raspy tone of the disco queen. However, through their efforts, Lê Việt & Nhã Thy delivered an impressive performance and earned a shower of compliments from the judges.
