Vietnamese pop becomes more banal

Korean style: Young singers prefer performing lightweight
pop at major shows and concerts as an easier way to attract
fans.

Nowadays, you can be say that the most popular style of music in Asian country such as China, Vietnam, and Thailand is probably be Korean style. Because this style are so new and attractive to the teenagers in this generation. The artists appearance are also made audience follow up, however, the musics are not so good. In this post, I would like to talk about pop music that is getting banal and banal day by day in Vietnam. Most of the musician are copied other country style of music ,so people are complaint against. Finally, the reason why I choose this news is because I'm also the one who is opposed to it.

First of all, it was said that young musicians and producers are getting a litany of complaints against their musics because their works are too love-heavy and lack gravitas. Moreover, young musicians now prefer to make soft music about loneliness and unrequited love. Also, some singer and their producers boast that they have discovered new genres but it turn out to be copies from American and Korean. It's okay to learn from foreign countries but Vietnam is a country that preserve national characteristics. Then the local musicians should choose songs that suitable to the country. However, Composer Quang Hai said he like new trends by young musicians like Vinh Tien and Le Minh Son in Ha Noi and producers Nguyen Van Chung and Duc Tri in HCM City. Furthermore, he complained love songs and sentimental lyrics that dominate the music market are increasingly coming under fire from tired musicians and listeners. Four years ago romantic creations by newcomers like Duc Tri, Phuong Uyen, Vo Thien Thanh, and Thanh Tam given a fresh and exciting dimension to the music scene. Along with pop singers Thu Minh, Thanh Thao, Lam Truong, and Tuan Hung, they fostered the development of the music and CD markets. In addition, They used folk music and pop to attract young and old fans alike. But the time have change. Fans have begin to write in to TV and radio station to complain about the musics. Some of fans said romances has become tedious and they are tired of hearing young singers who are paid to cry for love.

From my point of view, I think it is true that we can learn from other countries. But it will be nothing if we copies their style and musics. However, everyone know that the producers do like this because they want to attract audiences attention with a new type of genres. For Thailand, almost of young pop singers are taking Koren ideas such as dancing style, rhythm, and clothing into their musics. Some Thai people are also complain with it because we can see in the first time that they are really copy Korean style. Finally, When I saw some of young singers music video, sometime I can't tell in the first time that what country is it from. It is exactly the same as Korean!!!!!!!
