The show builds its format differently from the original and the U.S. adaptation that in the first rounds there are no battles. In fact, all the candidates are singing for the public vote. The four candidates with highest scores of a category are then advanced to second round, singing duet for survival.
Trần Hải Châu, a 21-year-old student, won the first season and obtained the final grand prizes, including a studio single with Universal Music, and 630,000,000 ₫ in cash (almost $30,000).
The show will return in 2014 with 12 episodes. Eight categories are introduced, including two Celebrity categories, two Singer categories, Students, Middle Ages, together with newly two Underground Singer categories. Comedians and Bands/Groups are originally official categories of the 2014 season; they, however, were dropped out due to lack of qualified candidates.
Synosis
Đông Tây Promotion and Ho Chi Minh City Television has won the right to produce the Vietnamese adaptation. It might be the first Asian adaptation of the franchise and it was launched even before the U.S. adaptation. The first season was hosted by Bình Mình and was starred by Siu Black or Hoài Linh, who can affect the result of a duet. Each episode is about a category, a quarter final round, a semifinal round and a finale while the original focuses on the first phase (first-rounded battles in many categories), the second phase (second and third-rounded battles in many categories), the quarter final/semifinal/season finale.
The Vietnamese adaptation marks its uniqueness as a mix of two hot shows Deal or No Deal and The Voice.
Format
The program consists of several phases. In the first phase, the pre-selection, all entries are reviewed by the production jury. All candidates are invited to audition and based on that audition is decided whether the candidate is good enough to be allowed for television recordings. After short-listing the candidates are divided into eight categories of eight candidates. In all these first rounds eight candidates sing solo and the panel of 101 judges, including Siu Black (later replaced by Hoài Linh from the live show,) thus score them. The four highest scores are moved to the second rounds in two battles. In the case that the highest four cannot be determined, if two candidates have the same score (making the highest five) then Siu Black has the ultimate power to decide who had better leave the competition for good; if three or more candidates have the same score (making the highest six or more) the ultimate power is shifted to the audience to vote off some. And the highest score of them all has the right to pick the opponent for a battle. Thereafter the second rounds happen and "deal" element is introduced. Accepted the deal and earned the money of 10,000,000 VND, the candidate is automatically evicted from the competition no matter how many score he gains in the battle and the opponent is immediately declared winning. Otherwise no deal occurs, the candidate with higher score wins and the money is added up to the final grand prize. The eight categories are covered in first eight episodes.
The two winners of a category advance to the quarter final round, where it can be. Again earned money of 20,000,000 VND the loser is right out of the league. Otherwise no deal occurs, the candidate with higher score wins and the money is added up to the final grand prize. The quarter final rounds are covered in two episodes.
In the very last battle to decide who the winner is, the audience voting is used as a determining factor. Audience can score from home in the last 15 minutes, which gives 100 to the battle, adding with score from 101 judges to make a possible 201 score.
Step by step the candidate is out until there is only one remain, taking the final grand prize home. The final grand prize includes the basic prize announced of 300,000,000 ₫ in cash, and the negotiation prizes during battles if no deal occurred.
