Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience.

Dressed in traditional Northwestern folk attire and wearing a white headscarf, Zhao Bao walked onto the stage holding a microphone.

"Whoosh~"

As Zhao Bao appeared on stage, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

Many of Zhao Bao's fans also stood up and waved their glow sticks.

The judges clearly had some expectations for this high-pitched peasant singer.

He waited attentively for Zhao Bao's performance.

After a brief period of quiet.

A high-pitched and melodious suona horn suddenly resounded throughout the venue.

"The flowers are blooming in the mountains!"

Before the sound of the suona had faded away, Zhao Bao grabbed the microphone, tilted his head back, and began to sing.

The soaring high notes and the sound of the suona blended together, almost shattering the eardrums of everyone present.

"Wow~ As expected of Zhao Bao! Such a hardcore high note at the start!"

"A truly talented singer!"

"How many octaves is that? An ordinary person's voice would be hoarse by now!"

"I remember Zhao Bao participated in the Western Folk Song Competition before and won second place. This time he's aiming for the Spring Festival Gala!"

"I'm suddenly worried about Wang Yueheng's performance in this match..."

"Don't panic, Wang Yueheng has sung high notes before..."

"Don't forget, everyone, the song 'Qinghai-Tibet Plateau' that judge Han Hong sang was written by Wang Yueheng."...

Aside from the audience members who stared in astonishment.

The live stream chat was also buzzing with activity as comments flooded in.

Besides being amazed by Zhao Bao's amazing high notes.

Many netizens who follow Wang Yueheng are now feeling the pressure on this rising star.

Listening to Zhao Bao's distinctive high-pitched voice.

The judges on site smiled and nodded frequently, showing their appreciation.

"As expected of a high-pitched peasant singer, he brought us such a passionate and unforgettable song as soon as he came on stage."

"I felt like my brain was going numb from his high notes while I was in the audience."

Zhao Bao's song performance has ended.

The host, Bi Chunjian, returned to the stage with a simple and honest smile, patting Zhao Bao on the shoulder repeatedly and praising him.

Judge Jiang Wei, who is also a folk song singer, laughed and said, "Zhao Bao is one of only two wandering singers I know. He has excellent high notes and I believe he will achieve even greater success in the future!"

The outspoken judge Jin Min then commented: "This original song has a strong local flavor, and it better reflects Zhao Bao's personal characteristics and level compared to his previous performance."

The other judges also expressed their opinions one by one.

Zhao Bao's performance in this round of matches has been highly praised.

Han Hong's comments, however, surprised the audience somewhat.

"I think Zhao Bao's song hasn't fully showcased his vocal potential."

"In addition, the lyrics of the song emphasize the scenery too much. I think it would be better if some human emotions were added."

Although Zhao Bao's original local folk song was considered by the other judges to be of extremely high quality.

But then there was Wang Yueheng's even more perfect poem, "The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau."

Han Hong's perspective on such popular songs instantly rose several levels.

Unless a contestant can write a new song that can rival "The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau".

Otherwise, it would be difficult for any high-pitched song to touch her heart again.

"Okay, thank you for your comments, judges. Now let's look forward to the final score given to Zhao Bao by the six judges!"

After the judges finished their comments, Bi Chunjian continued.

"Splash~ Splash~"

Driven by the tense sound effects at the scene.

The audience's hearts skipped a beat, and all eyes turned to the judges' seats.

The six judges then pressed their respective scores on the electronic screen in front of them.

After a dazzling display of stage lights.

Singer Zhao Bao's score was finally displayed on the big screen.

"Our contestant Zhao Bao's final score is..."

"9.55 points!"

Bi Chunjian's loud voice echoed throughout the venue through the microphone.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

The first contestant to take the stage scored such a high score.

The pressure on the other contestants will surely increase dramatically.
