Choosing “A piece of the heart of Ha Tinh people” (Nguyen Van Ty) to open the night of music, Pham Phuong Thao wanted music lovers to feel the affection as well as the change in her voice. This is the song that helped Pham Phuong Thao make her mark at Sao Mai 2003 and helped her win the award “Most Favorite Singer voted by the audience”.

Referring to the memorable memory in Sao Mai, Pham Phuong Thao said: “I have a very wonderful dream when I come to Sao Mai award in Quang Ninh that is to dream of winning the most favorite singer award. This award has not been announced yet.

In the final ranking, the organizers announced this award and I felt very confident because I had dreamed that dream, I called my mother and said: “Mom! I will get the award as the most favorite singer. “. My mother told me: “If you win, it will be the best award, the audience voting for you will love and accompany you throughout your artistic journey”.

And that became a reality when the ranking finale, I was named. At that time, I stood still, not knowing reality or was confused with a dream, until people urged me to wake up to step on the stage.”

Those are rhymes, dear lullabies…

That’s why, after singing “Ah, poetic day”, Thanh Lam – Trong Tan combined to give the audience a seemingly normal sentence, but the two artists found it very “expensive” in the song. “Ahh” is the sentence that makes the audience feel like they are returning to their childhood days.
