Following three weeks of intense competition, the fourth episode marked a significant milestone with a special theme: “Unexpected Variations”. There was no room for error, and no second chances. Each performance was a matter of survival and an opportunity to secure a spot in the next round and leave a lasting impression on the stage.
In this episode, the contestants drew lots to see whether they would perform a solo, a duet, or a group act. This element of randomness required not only skill and confidence but also adaptability, teamwork, and the ability to stand out among diverse musical personalities.
The show features a panel of three judges.
Vo Hoai Anh (Contestant No. 190) opened the night with a captivating and sensual performance titled “Sink In”. The song was composed by musician Ho Hoai Anh, with lyrics written by Vo Hoai Anh and Ha Kiem. Set to a modern electronic beat, the richly choreographed act showcased Hoai Anh’s strength in dance. After impressing with a Son Tung M-TP hit in Episode 3, she continued to demonstrate her versatility and commanding stage presence. Judge Truc Nhan praised her confidence and unique performance style, hoping she would continue to explore new creative dimensions in the journey ahead.

Next, the song “A Winter Day” was given an emotional makeover in the form of a duet performed by contestants Nguyen Thanh Thuy (No. 099) and Nguyen Ngoc Ni Ni (No. 073). Their first-time collaboration created a gentle yet profound “emotional touchpoint”, transporting the audience to a quiet winter afternoon in the middle of a blazing summer.

On the stage of The Talent Rendezvous, Chung Pham Ngoc Yen (Contestant No. 297) gave an impressive performance of the song “Only Me”, a dark and mysterious piece. This marked her first foray into a distinctive genre, one that was completely different from her previous styles. She conveyed deep emotions, exploring the darker sides of her psyche and leaving a strong impression on both the judges and the audience.

Bui Thi Thanh Thuy (Contestant No. 106) made an impact by performing “Winter Will Pass”, a renowned composition by musicians Huy Tuan and Duong Thu. With her powerful and emotional voice, she breathed new life into the classic love song. The judges praised her vocal technique and dedication, but also suggested she suggested she delve deeper into the emotional core of her delivery to connect more deeply with listeners and bring out the essence of the song.

Next was the first-time collaboration between two musicians with seemingly opposite musical personalities: Le Quang Huy (Contestant No. 305), known for his fiery rock style, and Nguyen Hoang Bao Ngoc (Contestant No. 246), whose gentle, emotional ballads define her sound. In their mashup “Shattered – Not Enough”, they took a daring approach by choosing to “confront” each other on stage in hopes of creating harmony between fire and wind. However, as the judges noted, the blending of their voices lacked subtlety, and the transitions between segments felt disjointed, resulting in a performance that fell short of full cohesion.

On the fourth night of the “Talent Rendezvous” competition, contestant Do Minh Chau (Contestant No. 293) delivered a deeply emotional performance with the song “Foreign Land” by musician Phan Manh Quynh. The warm timbre of her voice blended harmoniously with the delicate sound of the bamboo flute, transporting the audience to a nostalgic and heartfelt musical space.

Pham Ha Hanh Huyen stood out with her clear, bright vocals and confident dance moves. Nguyen Hoang Minh Khoi impressed with his steady performance and powerful energy. Nguyen Quang Anh and Nguyen Thi Mai Chi added liveliness and teamwork to the performance .
