My friends asked, “What are you doing tonight?”
I replied, “Tonight, I’m going to watch Vong Co with my aunt.”
They all made faces. “Why are you going to watch that? You’re going to fall asleep, it’s so boring. The king kills the princess, but the princess takes a half an hour to die because she has to sing about her death.”
We laughed.
As an effort to save Vong Co, which is a traditional Vietnamese art form, Ho Chi Minh City hosted a Vong Co singing competition. Famous guest judges would critique and give point to the performers. This competition was broadcasted on live television, and viewers could vote for their favorite singers.
My aunt works for the daughter of the man who sits in one of the upper chairs for HTV (the television station). So, my aunt’s boss usually gets tickets for most of the HTV events. Thus, my aunt got tickets. No one else wanted to go, so I went.

Do you think these competitions have been successful in saving Vong Co?
Is the show called Vietnamese Idol?
It is not Vietnamese Idol. It is a old traditional art in Vietnam. I cannot imagine you watch it, because it is very easy to fall asleep.
