“Little Frog” dazzles Vietnam’s Got Talent
Eight-year old Nguyen Hoang Anh displayed his great talent singing the folksong “Chu Ech Con” (The Little Frog), and imitating the dance style of the king of pop, Michael Jackson, on the Vietnam’s Got Talent TV show.
The third grade student from Dinh Tien Hoang primary school in Haiphong city has qualified for the first round of the show and is now hoping to continue further.
The show’s jury panel includes artist Thanh Loc, former model Thuy Hanh and well-known musician Huy Tuan.
This is the second time the traditional folksong “Chu Ech Con” has been performed in a new style. Previously, Italy’s RAI TV channel broadcast a marvelous performance by a Vietnamese girl, Le Nguyen Huong Tra, who joined international friends in singing the song at the Zecchino d’Oro music festival in 2003.
Huong Tra, also eight years old at the time, sang the song in both Italian and Vietnamese to great applause from the audience.
