Kim Thoa shared: "In the preliminary round, I performed the song "Thach Bi Son" - composed by Ngoc Quang and in the semi-final, I performed the song "Dawn of the calling land" - composed by People's Artist Cao Huu Nhac. These two songs are written about the scenic spots in my hometown, Phu Yen province. I also competed with these two songs before at some competitions in my hometown, and this time I decided to sing again because I think I will sing the song with
different emotions each time, so I sang these songs with the same spirit as if I was performing for the first time. To the final night, I chose the song "Weaving the gait" - by musician Ngoc Dai to music according to the poetry of Vi Thuy Linh. This is a song performed by famous singer Tran Thu Ha very successfully, and it must be said that this is a song that requires very difficult
techniques. Choosing this song for the contest was also a big challenge for me. However, I personally think that if you practice hard and dare to surpass your own limits, you will definitely achieve certain success. In the final night, I was a little nervous because most of the other performances had subtitles, and my part was a solo performance. After that, I thought that this was an opportunity for me to explore my stage skills, so I just let my soul down to the music and showed my best."
From a young age, little Kim Thoa was always chirping and singing and whenever someone asked: "What do you want to do in the future?" Kim Thoa did not hesitate to answer: "Yes, singer. eh!".
