Discussion

It's difficult to enter the forein music.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.139.40.93 (talk • contribs)
Can you provide solid facts and examples, please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.147.114 (talk • contribs)
Hi there,
In my opinion, if she copies other stars of the world, that isnt an issue here.
What counts is, is the info right on this page.
My Tam is indeed the most famous Vietnamese singer in the last 6 years in Vietnam, and the most well payed too.
Everybody knows her here, and in all the Vietnamese communities in the USA and all over the world as well.
Type her name in English "Ca si My Tam" (ca si means singer) or in Vietnamese writing "Ca sĩ Mỹ Tâm" in Google and you get 100.000 sites.
As I can see, all the info is correct.
{{helpme}} Please remove the tags of References.

Page move to "My Tam"
This article was at "Mỹ Tâm" for a long time until I moved it just recently. I was attempting to anglicize the spelling, but screwed it up. She is "My Tam" to VOV News, to the Vietnam News Agency, to Thanh Nien, and to ABC News. Her Vietnamese album labels say "Mỹ Tâm". Hopefully, somebody can fix this. Kauffner (talk) 10:18, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- I moved it back. It's not clear what you were trying to accomplish, or what went wrong, but the old title seemed fine, per this bio and this item. Dicklyon (talk) 22:43, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- The first link is to a mirror of this article, and the second link (to esnips) appears to be some sort of user-generated copy vio compilation. It begins, "My Tam - Princess VPOP - DIVA Vietnam. You know what about her?", which suggests that it is not copy edited. It includes cut and pasted material from three English-language sources, all three of which give her name as "My Tam" without a diacritic. Her own site does not give a diacritic in the English-language version of her name: "Welcome to My Tam's Official website". The same site calls her "Mỹ Tâm" in Vietnamese, so the Webmaster obviously could put the Vietnamese diacritics in if he so desired. Oh, and I found the original ABC News item about her here. (Not much to look at considering the excitement it generated in the Vietnamese press.) Kauffner (talk) 23:52, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing out the errors in my links. I suggest an RM if you think the version without diacriticals would be more appropriate here. I still don't understand quite what you did or what help you were asking for after your first move; I hope moving it back was helpful. Dicklyon (talk) 06:56, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Legacy or just praise?
I removed this section from the article, as I wasn't sure if this was relevant. Usually the article should talk about who were My Tam's inspirations and not the other way around. If there are particular examples of singers that model her singing style, that can be added to the Artistry/Musical style. Please create a Legacy section if appropriate. AngusWOOF (talk) 23:13, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

- I think the ABC News mention should be put back in. It was a big deal in Vietnam. Every Vietnamese paper ran a story about it. Kauffner (talk) 14:56, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'll add the ABC News mention to the 2010 section; it's also in the awards, and also the top student comment. AngusWOOF (talk) 15:19, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
early awards 1997-1998
I removed these from the awards list as they were before she started her official singing career, and appear to be local awards. AngusWOOF (talk) 01:57, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
- First prize as a solo performer in the "Spring of 1997" in Đà Nẵng City
- Gold Medal for Best Vocal in 1997

- First prize in the "Singing Contest of District 6", HCMC in 1998
- First prize in the "Muc Tim Newspaper's Best Vocal" in 1998
Please add sources
Most of this article needs source verification. The critics statements, assumed quotations from Tam, the release dates, comments and charts that confirm popularity. All of it needs to be sourced! AngusWOOF (talk) 02:57, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
- There is an English-language profile of the subject here, one in Vietnamese here. Kauffner (talk) 10:19, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
need help with Vietnamese titles
Is there a standard way to list titles of songs and albums for this project? I've been assuming
- songs: "Vietnamese title" (English title)
- albums: English title
AngusWOOF (talk) 03:00, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
- We're going with this convention:
- songs: "Vietnamese Title" (English Title)
- albums: Vietnamese Title (English Title)
Diacritics okay to include. Capitalization per standard Vietnamese and English album/song titles. Exceptions are for English or non-Vietnamese titled songs and albums (e.g. Yesterday & Now), which get the direct title. AngusWOOF (talk) 16:21, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Can someone confirm release date for Fly?
Was Fly released in 2005 or 2007? How many versions were there? AngusWOOF (talk) 03:04, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
- It was released in 2006, according to Zing. The way it is now, it looks like the album is named Fly – Vút Bay. Shouldn't it be "Vút Bay (Fly)"? Kauffner (talk) 08:55, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
discography on mtv exit - reliable source or shadowed source.
I found this article on MTV EXIT: http://mtvexit.org/vietnam/en/artists/m/ It lists some of her release dates, although I am not sure how reliable the source is. Did it copy an older copy of Wikipedia or vice versa? I know MTV Artists.com copies the data from Wikipedia.
Zing Music Awards
This was deleted twice. Not sure why, so let's discuss. Is Zing Music Awards not noteworthy or something? AngusWOOF (talk) 17:38, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

My Tam → Mỹ Tâm – not sure why this singer is out of line with all other Vietnam BLPs. Full spelling per Olsen Popular Music of Vietnam 2008 "Mỹ Tâm is Vietnam's most famous pop singer in the first decade of the twenty-first century (Figure 3.8).", etc. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:01, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
