Minh Hang on Sunday night won Buoc Nhay Hoan Vu (Dancing with the Stars) 2012 final thanks to the public falling in love with her routines with dance partner Atanas, reports VnExpress.
The Saigonese actress and singer won the Vietnamese version of the popular TV show thanks to receiving 64% of the public vote. Male model Truong Nam Thanh got the silver cup with 34%, while the bronze cup went to female model Anh Thu with less than 2%.
Hang received more than 640,000 votes via SMS messaging and it was no surprise she won the show as she had been the hot-favorite throughout.
While Thanh and Thu returned to HCMC after the ninth show, Hang stayed in Hanoi to practice with Atana as she tried to perfect their routines.
On Sunday night she performed a Rumba, presenting the love story of Romeo and Juliet with background music from My Immortals and an Egyptian-styled free-style dance, bringing the luxury royal palace of Queen Cleopatra on stage.
She won four 10 marks from jury-members for the Rumba and this was the first time Hang won the top mark. Although not completing the dance as scripted, Hang also got two 9 marks and two 10 marks for the freestyle dance. “I am very happy to touch the golden cup, this is the most unforgettable moment of my life,” Hang said.
Thanh performed international Tango and a contemporary dance. In the second dance, Thanh and his partner were blindfolded to dance. The performance won much emotion from the judges as well as viewers.
Thu seemed to accept her fate. Her two dances did not impress the jury or the audience, except for when she wore the Vietnamese ao dai to perform the Argentine Tango.
Buoc Nhay Hoan Vu saw the participation of ten local celebrities from different entertainment fields who competed in the show during three months of the program.
