Summary

edit

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.[2] 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

edit

Auditions were initially held in 8 major cities.[3][4] 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.[5]

Producers' auditions

edit

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.
