The lead singer of TOS band - Nguyen Pham Cat Tuong - possesses a beautiful appearance and a powerful voice. Cat Tuong's performance of "Co Doi Thuong Ngan" contributed to bringing the band the highest position.

However, the winner of the golden voice award was another face: Tran Thi Minh Chau - member of the Muot band, Thuong Tin High School.

Minh Chau made a strong impression in the preliminary round when performing the song Calligraphy by musician Nguyen Duy Hung.

The most cheered on the final night was Nguyen Thu Giang - a member of the BG70 band, Viet Duc High School. Thu Giang's erhu is the soul of the band, bringing the female student the individual award for best traditional instrument player.
