PART I: INTRODUCTION
1. Background information:
Today, the more Vietnam develops, the higher the standard of living is. They are cared
by the government so they live in better conditions and more stable lives than before. Now it is
not enough to “Ăn no mặc ấm” (just enough for living) as Ho Chi minh president desired. As

they can earn more money, they begin to care for more and more things in their life such as
good accommodations, good meals, beautiful clothes, etc. But it’s only about their material life.
How about their mental life? In fact, they concern about their spiritual life more than their
material one. Many people think that they worked hard all day so they should take a rest or
relax. A question is raised “how to relax in this modern life?” entertainment is necessary for
working people but also for others especially young people . Moreover, modern young people
are very active and dynamic. They are very adaptable too. Hence, in this changing world, they
need more than one means to serve their demand for entertainment. Besides many different
entertainments such as game, magazine or movie…, the youth seems to care about music the
most. In other words, music becomes an important part in young people’s life. Seeing the need
of youngsters- the group of audience has the most difficult standard with music, many kinds of
music stream are increased, music cover is a typical example.
2. Rationale:
Nowadays, finding covered songs are so easy, they appear in most CDs of most singers.
“Music cover” is not a new concept. Most singers choose to cover a song of other musicians or
singers to make their home “music market” more plentiful. They have reached high position in
music class-list. But in fact, there are some people don’t understand exactly definition of
“music cover”. There are different attitudes which are followed, some people think the stream
is detrimental to the Vietnamese music, someone admits that they like and support music cover
because of its diversity, and the others don’t care at all. So what is an exactly concept of “music
cover”? To have a clear concept about this issue, the study was done. It gives some reasons for
people’s answers. The paper is finished by researching young audience who are usually the
fastest to update new music and are the most objective examiners.
