HCM CITY — HCM City Television and Cat Tien Sa Company are producing a music-based reality show based on Star Academy broadcast on American television.

Ngoi Nha Am Nhac, to begin at the end of this month, is a live contest involving 14 contestants aged 16-30 with singing and dancing skills who will stay together for a period and be trained by coaches.

Every week they will perform in front of a jury and audiences who will eliminate the weakest contestant.

Before that, composers Phuong Uyen, Le Quang and Luu Thien Huong, singers Siu Black and Ngoc Anh, and Ha Thuy, music lecturer at the Military College of Arts and Culture, will select the 14 best contestants.

The selection round will be held this weekend in the Tay Nguyen (Central Highlands) city of Buon Me Thuot, April 12 and 13 in Ha Noi, and April 17, 18 and 19 in HCM City.

Those seeking to contest can register at www.ngoinhaamnhac.com.

The show will be broadcast on HTV7 every Friday.-VNS
