Yes, I walked toward Broadway to audition for Miss Saigon when no Vietnamese singer yet made such walk, and I listened exclusively to classical music and jazz, BUT I AM TELLING YOU THIS: THE FOLLOWING IS THE BEST, BECAUSE THESE TWO SINGERS SANG WITH ALL OF THEIR HEART AND THEY EXPRESSED THE UNIQUENESS OF THEIR CULTURE: No one can duplicate the following, and they touched their listeners with the soul of their voice, toward the collective soul of Hue, a unique place on earth:
Thanh Thuy, alto, and then Ha Thanh, soprano range, singing the best of Y Van from the 60s, in their unique esoteric Hue accent...they sing the soul of Hue to us...
Maria Callas and Edith Piaff can sing on top of the world, but they can't sing with a Hue accent and they can't deliver the Hue spirit...to those whose soul is Hue
