Summary
Vietnam's Got Talent is a talent show that features singers, dancers, magicians, comedians, martial-art players, performers with risky weapons/tools/elements, variety acts and other performers of all ages competing for a grand prize of 400,000,000 VND (approximately $20,000).
The first season ran for 26 episodes. The producers chose the top 360 auditioning acts for taped auditions. These were subsequently cut down to 140 by an additional round of auditions consisting of the traditional "Yes" and "No" vote by a panel of three judges. The judges then chose their favourite 49 acts for advancement into the live semi-final rounds, from which the top two acts of each semi-final advanced to two final rounds consisting of 7 acts each, from which 2 acts per final round, one by televote and one by judges' vote, advanced to a grand finale.
Auditions
Auditions were initially held in 8 major cities. Afterwards, the producers announced that the auditions, dubbed Golden Chances, would be held in rural areas by way of a bus tour. The best two acts from each rural area and the best 5 acts from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi respectively advance to the second round of auditions.
Producers' auditions
Televised producers' auditions for the first episode were held in Ho Chi Minh City, Long An, Cần Thơ, Buôn Ma Thuột, and Da Nang. Episode 2 was to feature auditions held in Hanoi, Lạng Sơn, Haiphong and Quảng Ninh. Untelevised producers' auditions were also held in nine rural areas; Bình Dương, Đồng Nai, Vũng Tàu, Tiền Giang, Bến Tre, Vĩnh Long, Hậu Giang, An Giang, Cà Mau, as well as Hanoi & Ho Chi Minh City. Due to disappointing viewing figures for the premiere episode, the airing of the second episode was replaced by the preliminary auditions.
Judges' culling
140 acts advanced through the preliminary rounds to be culled by the judges, who chose 49 acts for advancement to the semi-final rounds. As announced, 3 additional acts were chosen as backups in the case of any semi-final qualifiers being disqualified or otherwise rendered unable to perform in the semi-finals.
