The finals began two weeks after the semi-finals had concluded. Journalist Đặng Diễm Quỳnh is added to the judging panel at the start of the finals.
Each week the finalists perform live on stage to a television audience. The contestant receiving the least viewers' votes is eliminated from the competition. Introduced for the first time this season is the ability of the judges to collectively override the voters' decision once, if they deem that a contestant has been voted-out prematurely. Should this option is activated, two contestants would be eliminated the following week instead of one.
