Anger or trick of Tang Duy Tan

The male singer said he chose to make music for the masses, implicitly criticizing a group of listeners who think their taste is more classy than the majority. His frank statement caused public opinion to be divided into two camps.

Self-proclaimed "rice soul", choosing music for the masses

On the social network Threads, singer Tang Duy Tan unexpectedly shared a series of status lines clearly expressing his stance of making music to serve the public instead of pursuing academic music.

“I am a rural person by nature, with a rice-plant soul, so I make music to serve the people, the general audience, not to serve people with autism. "It's in that position that I find the reason to continue my passion for music," the singer wrote.

Tang Duy Tan's statement created discussion.

Tang Duy Tan said he studied at a music conservatory and played in concert every weekend during his student days. “The music that people with the above syndrome often listen to is the music that my brothers and I at the conservatory play every weekend... but why didn’t I get sick? Maybe it’s because I didn’t show it off to the world,” he wrote.

He added that when he was a student, he often played songs like Casablanca , Besame Mucho and Hotel California , practicing at the old house of musician Trinh Cong Son. “In the afternoon, I practiced with my brothers, and in the evening, I played in concert to earn a living. Very chill,” Tang Duy Tan said.

From those experiences, the male singer affirmed that he was capable of pursuing classical music but chose to stick with popular music because he wanted to spread it to the majority. However, the use of words like “musical superiority syndrome” and “sick” in Tang Duy Tan’s sharing made the article quickly become a hot topic of discussion on social networks.

Angry outburst or bluff?

Many viewers agree with Tang Duy Tan's point of view, saying that he "dares to say what others are afraid to say". One viewer commented: "Some people have different tastes than the majority, and then consider their own taste to be classy. Whenever music goes viral, they criticize it as 'mediocre'. Thank you Tan for speaking up for the majority of listeners."

However, many people reacted harshly to the words the male singer used. “You can do whatever music you want with confidence, river water does not interfere with well water. Why criticize others for having superiority syndrome? That kind of thinking is not appropriate for a career,” one commenter wrote.

Another person argued: “It’s not true that listening to classical music makes you snobbish, nor is it true that everyone who likes popular music is simple-minded. The more types of music you listen to, the more open-minded and non-judgmental you become. Music has no borders.”

Another audience member stated: “If you choose popular music, then live with that choice, don’t use offensive words to demand recognition at another level. If you can really make academic music, then do it, the audience is always ready to accept good products.”

The public also questioned the timing of Tang Duy Tan’s post, when he had just appeared on the show Em xinh say hi as a guest. During the show, he had many close interactions with singer Bich Phuong, who has been rumored to be dating him since the beginning of the year. Although the two were once caught traveling together, Tang Duy Tan still insisted that they were just colleagues.

Some people think that the male singer may be deliberately making attention-grabbing statements to increase his popularity. However, there are also people who defend him, saying that Tang Duy Tan may have received anonymous criticism related to the music genre he pursues. “If someone insinuates that his music is compared to ‘high-class’ music, it is understandable that he would respond,” one viewer wrote.

Currently, Tang Duy Tan's side has not given any further response to the conflicting opinions surrounding his statement.
