1. Why are music competitions popular in Vietnam?
I guess there are several reasons for their popularity, but the key one is that these competitions provide immense inspiration and motivation to the audience. Watching contestants rise from obscurity to fame makes us believe that we, too, can overcome any challenges in life and achieve greatness. Music shows like The Voice or American Idol particularly resonate with dreamers, attracting a wide audience.

2. What music genres do young people prefer?
It's challenging to generalize the musical preferences of young people as they vary widely. However, currently, pop ballads are quite popular among Vietnamese youth. These slow, romantic songs with catchy tunes and deeply emotional lyrics have been dominating the music scene for a while now.
- Make a blanket statement (v) vơ đũa cả nắm

4. What are the distinctions between live concerts and online concerts?
Digital concerts lack the excitement and interactive experience of live events, where fans can directly engage with artists and other attendees. Although virtual concerts offer affordability and accessibility, technical issues may disrupt real-time interactions. Despite this, they provide top-notch performances at a fraction of the cost of in-person concerts.
