The Voice of Vietnam season 5 coaches

Tóc Tiên

Lam Trường

Noo Phước Thịnh

Thu Phương

The coaching panel saw two changes from the previous season as it was revealed on April 6, 2018. Noo Phước Thịnh and Tóc Tiên returned for their second season as coaches. Thu Phương returned to the panel after one season hiatus, replacing Thu Minh; while former The Voice Kids coach Lam Trường joined the show as a new coach, replacing Đông Nhi.[1] Meanwhile, former Sing My Song presenter Phí Linh replaced Nguyên Khang as the show's new host. Last season's winner, Ali Hoàng Dương, served as the backstage presenter during the Blind auditions.

The blind audition this season adopted the "Block" twist from the fourteenth season of the U.S version, which prevents a coach from getting an artist if they turn their chairs.[2] The team sizes were reduced to 10 per team.

The Battle round was taped on June 4, 2018 and was broadcast from June 24 to July 15, 2018.[3] The Battles' advisors for this season are: music producer Dương Cầm for team Thu Phương, former Sing My Song judges Nguyễn Hải Phong and Hồ Hoài Anh for team Lam Trường and Noo Phước Thịnh respectively, and diva Trần Thu Hà for team Tóc Tiên.[4] Each coach can steal two losing artists from other coaches' teams, as previously applied in season 3. However, in a new twist, a "double-pick" is given to each team to save both contestants in a pairing under the condition that they would become a duo for the rest of the competition.[5]

Hoàng Mạnh from team Noo Phước Thịnh was disqualified from the competition prior to the Battle taping day due to his undisciplined behavior during the rehearsal process. As a result, Noo Phước Thịnh grouped three of his artists into one battle, with two advanced and one eliminated.

The Knockouts was taped on June 27 and broadcast from July 22 to August 5, 2018.[6] For the first time in the show's history as well as The Voice franchise, the Knockouts would not be team-based but instead feature battles between members in different teams. Contestants from all four teams were paired randomly into one knockout battle, with the winner advanced to the Playoffs and the loser sent home. Each coach had three turns to "challenge" the other three coaches for a cross knockout battle. The challenge coach was allowed to select his/her own team member in a battle, and the chosen contestant would pick his/her knockout opponent randomly from the challenged coach's team. When there is only one contestant left in each team, the power to challenge other coaches would be granted to the coach with the highest number of winning battle.

After two performances in a battle concluded, a 21-member professional jury gave their points to each contestant publicly, whereas audience in the studio also voted for the two contestants. Those numbers were then added up to a total point to determine the winner of a knockout battle. As a result, the number of contestants advanced to the Playoff round between four teams would vary depending on the number of wins or losses of the team in the knockout battles. The "steal" was also not available as this stage of the competition this season. [7]

Đào Bình Nhi, a contestant from team Thu Phương who was paired up with Việt Puzo into a duo in the Battle round, withdrew due to personal reasons. Therefore, Việt Puzo competed in this round as a solo contestant.

Color key:

Like the previous season, all the Playoffs round are pre-recorded except the Grand Finale. However, rather than cutting the same number of contestant on each team every week, this season the elimination result is determined solely by the public vote for each contestant and no longer involve coaches' decisions. Contestants who received the fewest public vote will be eliminated instantly regardless of which team they are from.

The "Wildcard" twist is also applied this season, which will advance an artist who has been eliminated prior to the Grand Finale but received the highest public vote on the website SaoStar.vn immediately to the Grand Finale for a second chance to compete for the title. The voting window for the Wildcard was closed on August 15, 2018 and the Wildcard was rewarded to Trần Ngọc Ánh (team Noo Phước Thịnh), who eventually emerged as the winner.

Color key:

The Grand Finale was broadcast live, coincidentally on the Vietnamese National Day (September 2). This week, the final five performed a solo song and a duet with his/her coach. The voting window for the finale was opened a week prior to the finale day on the website SaoStar.vn. The artist achieved the highest accumulated vote from the website and SMS was crowned the winner.
