paris by night 89 sneak peak review

First off I would like to thanks
Tuan Nguyen from Miratunes.com for posting up this video for us awaiting fans. I tried my best to captures and edit the captures.
Ky Duyen and
Nguyen Ngoc Ngan are at it again trying to make the show as festive and entertaining as possible. I always love their enthusiasm and presences. I was a bit disappointed when I saw Ky Duyen having long hair – none the less she looks stunning, but I was hoping for a fresher, newer look. I guess she only pulled her hair back on the poster of Paris by Night 89. I’m also very disappointed to not see all the familiar faces of the dance crew. I wished Thuy Nga could’ve have brought them all over because it’s just not comfortable seeing other singers.

1. Dung Hua Voi Em… - Minh Tuyet and Thaifoon
The beat of the song is very catchy and it looks hot! I wasn’t very please with the duet between the two in Minh Tuyet’s solo CD, but I’ll still give this song a chance since it’s the opening. Usually the opening song for any PBN would have fabulous, over-the-top wardrobe.
Minh Tuyet just looks too casual. However, anything can change since I’ve only saw like 15 second of the song. This song will be on my watch list.

2. Bao Gio Em Moi Hieu – Trinh LamI already can tell that this song will be another hit for
Trinh Lam. I must admit that he’s a great composer; always writing such meaningful and wonderful lyrics. He also performs the song very well therefore this song will be on my watch list 100%.

3. Nua Hon Thuong Dau – Y Lan
This is a typical
Y Lan song and I’m not interested in listening to this song because it seems boring. I hope seeing the whole performance can change my mind, but for right now this song isn’t intruding.

4. Duong Vao Yeu – Thuy Tien
Thuy Tien looks absolutely stunning with that hairstyle and mini-baby blue dress/skirt. The beats and harmony of the song is very catchy and the lyrics are interesting as well. I now guarantee that this will be one of my favorite songs after the DVD is release.

5. Xot Xa – Mai Quoc HuyI can’t believe how much
Mai Quoc Huy sounds like
Che Linh which is a good thing because we don’t have much singer like Che Linh these days. I’m quite interested to hear the rest of the song.

6. Superstar – Van Quynh and Huong Giang
Both
Huong Giang and
Van Quynh look stunning especially Van Quynh and her long hair. As for the song I feel 50-50 about if I like the song or not; we’ll just have to see when the DVD releases next week.

7. Thien Dang Danh Mat – Duong Trieu Vu
The beat of this song is so cool! One of my favorite preview songs so far... However, I just couldn’t help but laugh at
Duong Trieu Vu and his glasses attempting to be cool. I don’t blame him since most of Korea has that ‘cool’ looks to it. Definitely waiting to hear and see this performance.

8. Tan Co Bac Trang Lua Hong – Manh Quynh and Huong Thuy
I’ve never liked this type of music, but I’m always willing to give it a chance. No doubts that
Manh Quynh and
Huong Thuy sounds acceptable together so I think I’ll give it a go and see what happens.

9. Hai Que – Quang Le
Fascinating lyrics this song has.
Quang Le’s voice of course is flawless and great. So of course I’ll be waiting to listen to this song. The two huge – bushy trees for this song looks weird yet right for the song.

10. Thoi Nho Mong Ma Chi – Bao HanOne of my most anticipated songs of this whole DVD.
Bao Han haven’t got to sing a solo for quite awhile and I’ve miss that. The song is catchy, dance moves looks nice, and Bao Han looks absolutely sizzling so I’ll be waiting.

11. Hoa Vang May Do – Khanh LyKhanh Ly always manages to delivers an outstanding performance. Her voice is crisp and her range is unbelievable. Beside those qualities the song also seems to be very good so I’m anxious to listen to the rest.

12. Ha Trang – Tran Thai HoaThis song is so old and over sung by so many artists so for
Tran Thai Hoa to sing this again is quite boring. However, his voice is so fascinating and interesting that I want to give this song another listen.

13. Tan Bien – Roni Trong and Huynh Gia Tuan
This song is perfect for that Korean feeling. Fast beat and nice dance moves. The clothing style is also perfect since they are performing in Korea. The beat is fun and exciting so I can’t wait to see the whole performance.

14. Gio Bac and Ly Con Sao Bac Lieu – Huong Lan and Tam Doan
I’ve been waiting for these two to duet since I don’t know. So I’m happy about it and am waiting patiently for the release of the CD. Their voices match with each other perfectly and both of the songs are very catchy and popular.

15. Em Van Tin – Ho Le Thu
The Viet translations are done nicely by
Ho Le Thu. To what I can hear I think it’s a very good song. The dramatic and dynamic in Ho Le Thu’s voice gives the song more emotions and life. So far I love the song and I’ll be waiting to hear the rest. Does any notice that her face looks flatter then usual? I don’t want to starts any rumors, I’m just curious.

16. Mua Tren Que Huong – Nhu QuynhThe net is circulating that this will be Nhu Quynh’s last performance with Thuy Nga. However, I don’t think this is the last we’ll see of
Nhu Quynh in Thuy Nga because she has been with Thuy Nga for so long now so… As for the song it’s nice and Nhu Quynh’s of course sounds beautiful and wonderful. I’m always anticipating her songs.

17. Con Dau Cuoi Cung – Luong Tung Quang
All of Luong Tung Quang’s songs are on my favorite list and as for right now I think this one will also be on my favorite list. He always manages to picks the right song for his voice and it’s always enjoyable to listen to. So obviously this is on my waiting list.

18. Yeu De Roi Biet Xot Xa – David MengWe’ve all been waiting for his first performance after winning the talent show and here it is. I’ve never been a fan of
David Meng and I think I’ll stay that way since this song isn’t as good or special. He’s still screaming at the microphone, but I’ll give it a chance since he’s trying to improve.

19. Yeu Anh That Kho Noi – Loan Chau and Nhu Loan
Wow both of them looks stunning! The song is a bit slow, but still catches my attention. The only problem is that once again Nhu Loan’s voice seems to fade behinds Loan Chau’s voice. I hope I’ll hear more of her after the DVD releases.

20. Mong Sau – Khanh Ha
Her voice is fabulous so I’ll love to hear the rest of the song.
Khanh Ha once again looks beautiful with that hair style. A true diva with a wonderful voice how can I skip her song?

21. Linh Hon Da Mat – Bang KieuBang Kieu always performs his hearts out and you can tell from his voice and facial expressions. For now I love the song so of course I’m waiting to hear the rest.

22. Fashion Show Ao Dai Calvin Hiep and Thai Nguyen – Models from Vietnam and KoreaI hated the fashion show in PBN 84 and I think I’ll hate it again since it’s so boring watching the models walking. I’ll rather have the singers matching even without singing because I’ll surely enjoy it more. I must say so far from what I can see the dresses look stunning!

23. Hoa Nang – Mai Tien Dung and Sunny Luong
Another pop and catchy song….
Sunny Luong was one of my favorite that didn’t make into the finals so I’m happy to see him perform on stage. I always love exciting song like these so I’ll be waiting to listen and watch.

24. Hoang Vu – The SonI’ve heard this song so many times and it’s getting kind of boring. I’m quite disappointed with the song choice, but then
The Son have a very nice voice so yes I’ll be listening to this once again.

25. Tinh Chap Nhan – Quynh Vi
Quynh Vi sounds amazing and looks terrific. I’ve been a big fan of her since the beginning of the talent show so I’ll be watching this performance again. However, I think she has too much make-up and it makes her look old.

26. Ki Em Ra Di – Luu BichLuu Bich always gives sizzling hot performances if there is a crew of dancers so I’ll be expecting this to be hot! After all this is the final song so I’ll be expecting more hotness.

27. Hai Kich – Hoai Linh, Chi Tai and Huu Loc
I know
Hoai Linh will give another fantastic performance and
Chi Tai will also, but
Huu Loc. I don’t know since PBN 87 I’ve hated him as a comedian because he’s just not funny. So I don’t know what to expect from this skit.

Overall, from the preview I think this show wasn’t as grand or huge as I’ve expect it to be. Since the show was in Korea I expected to have translated Korean song, but there were absolutely none. Even PBN 81 seems more like a Korean show then this. I must agree with most fans that there were too much pop and not enough R&B/hip-hop since that’s the main trend in Korea at this moment. However, I still like how they tried new places and I must admit the stages look huge and fantastic. I’ve never missed a PBN since 63 and I don’t plan to miss this one.
