Seasons overview
editActor and comedian Thành Lộc was the first judge to be announced.[2] Shortly thereafter, model and businesswoman Thúy Hạnh confirmed her role at the judges' table. Musician Huy Tuấn was given the third spot of the judges' table, while the fourth slot was filled by a new celebrity guest each week. The show was presented by actors Chi Bảo and Quyền Linh.
The first season ran for 26 episodes. The producers chose the top 360 auditioning acts for taped auditions. These were subsequently cut down to 140 by an additional round of auditions consisting of the traditional "Yes" and "No" vote by a panel of three judges. The judges then chose their favourite 49 acts for advancement into the live semi-final rounds, from which the top two acts of each semi-final advanced to two final rounds consisting of 7 acts each, from which 2 acts per final round, one by televote and one by judges' vote, advanced to a grand finale.
