well because he was born here... I still admire him because a lot of my friends are Vietnamese American who can't even say one word in Vietnamese... And here, he can sing in Vietnamese... He's so talented
It's because he says the first half in giọng Nam (Southern accent) and the second half in giọng Bắc (Northern accent). The song itself is in giọng Bắc. He's cute though.
It's actually mixed. For example, he says Vân with a "v", but Quỳnh ending on the "n", which are indicative of the North and South respectively. He probably has one parent from the south and one from the north, or is simply around mixed communities since he's in America.
Furthermore, I said "the song itself" is in the northern accent. Please read.
No. What is happening is that he is Southern and is trying to be Northern, because he is pretentious and vain. That is how they are. There are many examples of other singers doing this. If you can find his interviews, you can see he can't speak with a Northern accent. His Southern dialect leaks through.
It could be pretentious and vain. Or it could be because many Vietnamese people prefer Northern accents in public speaking, and he feels uncomfortable NOT speaking that way since everyone else does on stage. I'm not sure it's entirely fair to attribute only bad motivations to him, although I full realized he's a teenager who thinks he's made it big playing on Paris By Night. I also do appreciate that we're having a more mature conversation than the rest of this page.
I prefer people to speak in their hometown dialect. It sounds contrived and pretentious when people from the South try to speak with a Northern dialect. I think a lot of people would think so, too. Public speaking with Southern accent is fine. There's nothing wrong with it. What happens when people find out you are from one region of the country after you've been speaking the dialect of another? I also realize he's still very young and inexperienced.
@khoafish You don't understand anything. First, he was born in the US and is clearly not used to speaking Vietnamese. He probably picks up his accent from many people, among whom are both Northerners and Southerners. If you know how people with the Northern and the Southern accents live together here, you know what I'm talking about.
@khoafish Secondly, people who are from the South don't necessary speak the Southern accent. In 1954, a lot of Northerners fled to the South, forming a large population in the South. Their children who are born in the South are definitely "from the South", but they may speak the Northern accent, which is spoken by their parents. When they grow up and encounter more Southerners, they may pick up the Southern accent along the way.
well yur pretentious , mkays idc how he says it .. AT LEAST he knows wrh hes talking about and KNOWS what it means then it doesnt really matter ... i can pwn him anyday but im not going to bash him cuz he's innocent .. u cant blame him for what he cant do ... well at least he can play guitar better THAN yuuu . that covers up for his viet that he cant say rite . MAKAYS ?!?!?

What is wrong with your ears? How can you say the first half is Southern accent? "Jăng zằm" is Southern? 00:42.
What is wrong with the guy's accent during the introduction? He sounds like he can't speak Vietnamese. Not unlike Lynn of "Cong Thanh va Lynn" of old.

@khoafish What's wrong with your eyes? SoulGook wrote "he SAYS", not SING. SoulGook meant the introduction that Adam Ho says before he sings.
