The Voice Kids of Vietnam season 5

The fifth season of The Voice Kids of Vietnam- Giọng hát Việt nhí began on 12 August 2017 on VTV3. Vũ Cát Tường returned for her second season as a coach, while Noo Phước Thịnh, Đông Nhi and Ông Cao Thắng were replaced by singers Soobin Hoàng Sơn, Hương Tràm (The Voice season 1 winner), and Tiên Cookie, respectively.

This season was won by Dương Ngọc Ánh, an 11-year-old girl from Bắc Giang, mentored by Vũ Cát Tường, marking Vũ Cát Tường's first win as a coach after two seasons coaching on The Voice Kids.

Coaches and hosts
The coaching panel had three changes from season four. After joining the adult version earlier in 2017, it was speculated that both Noo Phước Thịnh and Đông Nhi would not be returning to The Voice Kids for the fifth season. Continue with the success from the judging panel in 2016, young and famous Vietnamese singers were rumoured to be joining the show, which included Soobin Hoàng Sơn, Vietnamese hitmaker Sơn Tùng M-TP, The X Factor Vietnam winner Giang Hồng Ngọc, Tiên Tiên, Minh Hằng and The Voice season 1 winner Hương Tràm. On May 28, 2017, in an interview, Soobin Hoàng Sơn accidentally revealed that he would become a coach for The Voice Kids season 5, which he later confirmed the news. Bảo Thy, The Remix 2017 winner, revealed that she was approached by Cat Tien Sa, but she turned the chance down, saying it "was not the right time". Vũ Cát Tường, a favored coach from season 4, announced her return to the show on June 11. A poster was posted on the Facebook fanpage of the show shortly after the first two coaches were announced, with shadows of the other two yet-to-be-announced coaches were blacked out. The poster arose rumors that Hương Tràm and musician Tiên Cookie would be new coaches. On June 26, 2017, the double chair was indeed revealed to be composed of Hương Tràm and Tiên Cookie. Different from the history of the show's double chair, which is usually composed of duos or couples, this is the first time that Hương Tràm and Tiên Cookie collaborate with each other.

Along with departures of Noo Phước Thịnh, Đông Nhi and Ông Cao Thắng, it was also implied that host Ngô Kiến Huy, who is also a member of the group, would not be returning to the show. Thành Trung, a popular TV presenter of Vietnamese television nowadays, was revealed to become the show's new host in the filming day. Quỳnh Chi, former host of the adult version, joined him in the Battles and Liveshows.

The blind auditions end when all teams are full.

Episode 5 (16 September)
1 Hương Tràm & Tiên Cookie, Vũ Cát Tường all turned for Đỗ Thị Hoài Ngọc in spite of their teams were full. She was still joined team Soobin by default.

The Battles
The Battle Round follows the same rule as previous seasons, with 5 battles from each team. However, in a new twist, a coach may save one contestant from another team to join his/her team for the Playoffs rather than from his/her own team, thus marking the first time in the history of The Voice Kids to adapt the "Steals" from the adult version. However, the "Steals" would be recorded off-stage. After this round ends, each team would have 6 contestants.

The advisors for each team in the Battles are: Hoàng Bách for team Soobin, Thùy Chi for team Tràm Tiên and Hà Anh Tuấn for team Vũ Cát Tường.

Playoffs
In this season of The Voice Kids, all the playoff rounds is pre-recorded while only the finals show is recorded live, following the new regulation applied in the fourth season of The Voice of Vietnam. The "Wildcard" twist is also returned, bringing back one contestant who was eliminated before the finals back to the show's live finale. The audience will vote for contestants through the vote portal on the website SaoStar.vn. However, in a new twist, this year each team would receive a Wildcard, meaning that there would be 3 contestants brought back to the finals, thus a 6-contestant finale.
