Hi all, I know you guys are eagerly anticipating this. I just got back to my hotel after 5.5 hours of wonder, inspiration, love, hope, and awe. This is truly one of the most memorable and meaningful programs ever. I don't have time to do a full review now, but that will be coming. I'm going to the taping again tomorrow afternoon, so I need to get some rest before then. I can't speak of how WONDERFUL this program was. Get ready to CRY a lot peoples and makes you realize the braveness, love, courage, hope, and charm of the vietnamese women. In addition to the great song list, they also profiled a number of Vietnamese women who have made great contributions to the society. And now without futher wait... PARIS BY NIGHT 90 CHÂN DUNG NGƯỜI PHỤ NỮ VIỆT NAM 01. Mẹ Việt Nam (Phạm Duy), Mẹ Trùng Dương (Phạm Duy), Cô Gái Việt (Hùng Lân) - Khánh Ly, Khánh Hà, Họa Mi, Ý Lan, Hoàng Oanh, Minh Tuyết, Ngọc Liên, Tú Quyên, Thanh Trúc, Như Loan, Bảo Hân, Hồ Lệ Thu, Quỳnh Vi, Hương Giang, Loan Châu, Hương Thủy, Tâm Đoan After the warmup show and routine, the curtain is raised. The stage is BEAUTIFUL in this program. You will see walls of candles on both sides with shelves on it. On the shelves are a number of lights that looks like candles that flicker. When the screen is used you will see a series of beautiful portraits and paintings to symbolize the Vietnamese women. Anyways, I'll describe the stage in detail later. As for this song, it will be preluded by about a 3 min video clip. When there was about 30 seconds left in the clip, about 12 dancers made their way on stage and layed on the floor. The lights began to illuminate as the clip ended and a painting of "hoa sen" appeared on the screen. We see 3 ladies come out from stage right and 2 come out from stage left. They're all dressed in blue ao dai. As they approach, we see it is Hoa Mi, Y Lan, Khanh Ly, Hoang Oanh, and Khanh Ha, applause breaks out in the auditorium. The lyrics to the song are so meaningful and perfect for this program. After their portion, applause breaks out again. Then we see 2 people from each side entering, one dressed in yellow, one in red, to symbolize '2 Ba Trung' - the 2 heroines of Vietnamese history. Then the remaing 12 young singers enter, in 3 groups of 4, dressed in matching ao dai, but each a different color. It is truly beautiful on stage. A rainbow of colors and smiles. Everyone was simply in awe of the colors, the smiles, and the meaningful opening to Paris By Night 90. 02. Nước Non Ngàn Dặm Ra Đi (Phạm Duy) - Quang Lê, Mai Thiên Vân 03.
