Trần Quốc Thiên from Thống Nhất, Đồng Nai Province was crowned as the winner of the competition. He received $10,000 cash, a recording contract with Music Faces and multiple commercial contracts.

Process

Following the success of the show, it was confirmed by producers that it would have Vietnam Idol air for a second season, but authorities subsequently postponed the contest until August.[1]

The new season featured a different structure, with new host Sỹ Luân replacing Nguyên Vũ. The panel of judges was also changed, with new judges Hồ Hoài Anh and Trần Mạnh Tuấn joining Siu Black.

Audition Round

During the auditions, contestants were invited to perform the whole or part of a song to the producers, who decide whether they will perform to the judges. Unlike other Idol contests, the contestants are not notified immediately whether they will advance to the theater round by the judges, but must wait for the producers to contact them after the auditions. Unsuccessful contestants were not contacted.

Theater Round

The Theater Round involved the 94 contestants, who were invited to participate in Ho Chi Minh City in late August 2008. During this round, contestants were required to perform songs chosen by the producers of the contest.
