Controversy

On Sunday, September 9, 2012, a video was uploaded on YouTube by an anonymous account stating that the show's results were fixed. The video was deleted a few hours later; however, it was spread on social networks upon its deletion and caused a media uproar. The video showed email exchanges between who was believed to be The Voice's music director and several contestants and a recording between the director and a producer of the show. An urgent meeting was called at CÃÂ¡t TiÃÂªn Sa's headquarter a day later with the coaches and on-going as well as eliminated contestants. PhÃÂ°ÃÂ¡ng UyÃÂªn - the show's music director apologized for what had happened but did not comment on the rumor about her close relationship with a contestant of the show, which was pointed out in the said video. H'zina Bya, who was said to quit because of being treated unfairly, explained the reason she quit was because of her health problem and thought that the show didn't fit her.
