"She... well, she's great! Uh, I mean her music is great. Her stage presence is amazing, her stage presence is incredible. She's a natural-born stage singer. She's very cunning..."
The moment the word "scheming" was uttered, a fiery light shone in the eyes of both Xiaoqi and Ji Wenxuan.
Wei Lihui said, "If you can say it, then say it more!"
Wei Li had given up; he knew he couldn't escape it.
He continued, "She's so cunning in choosing songs! All the singers here either pick songs they like or songs that are difficult enough to showcase their singing skills..."
Only Xu Yanyu chose a song with a simple melody but a fast rhythm that was widely accepted by the audience.
My mistake was being too naive; it wasn't that I couldn't compare to her. My singing skills and songwriting abilities are beyond question.
Even if I lose after this episode, don't doubt me! Please remember that I only fell behind Xu Yanyu in song selection! She's too cunning.
Wei Li had long sensed that his future was bleak, and now he was going to throw caution to the wind and give the audience a heads-up.
Perhaps then there won't be that damned title about teachers and students sharing the stage, with the old guard being swept away by the tide.
Ji Wenxuan could already sense Wei Li's anxiety.
She looked at Wei Li with sympathy and concluded, "It seems that Wei Li still appreciates the students he has trained as always. Wei Li has a very high opinion of Xu Yanyu. Thank you, Wei Li."
As the music ended on stage, Xu Yanyu slowly put down the microphone.
Sweat beaded on her forehead; she was sweating because she was so engrossed in singing and her movements were so vigorous.
A few strands of hair fell from her forehead onto her neck, adding a touch of softness to her appearance.
At this moment, her aura subsided, and she was no longer the stage queen who had dominated the audience for nearly five minutes.
The audience was also panting, their faces beaming with excitement, their eyes fixed on Xu Yanyu on the stage.
I watched her bow and then slowly walk backstage.
Sitting in the front row, Huang Li felt a sense of loss when she saw Xu Yanyu disappear.
She sighed, "Why is a song so short? I haven't sung enough yet."
Huang Li's friend held up a flower, waved it in front of her, and boasted, "Look! What's this? I just snatched it. Xu Yanyu gave me this flower!"
"Ah? Ahhhh! I want it too, I want it too!" Huang Li's sense of loss completely disappeared.
She grabbed her friend's hand and shook it back and forth affectionately.
Then the host came back on stage, took over the stage, and started reading the long advertisement in various ways.
The audience below completely ignored what the host was saying and were whispering and discussing among themselves.
When will Xu Yanyu hold a concert? I really want to attend her concert.
I really enjoyed singing with her; it let out all the day's troubles.
"Xu Yanyu has a lot of songs, but she has never released an album, and a concert is even more out of the question."
"Vote for Xu Yanyu later. Once she becomes famous, record companies will definitely approach her for collaborations."
"I heard that many record companies have approached her to collaborate, but she has not accepted any of them."
...
Xu Yanyu lifted her long dress and sat on the rising platform, taking one last look at the dazzling stage.
She recalled the scene just now and couldn't help but mutter, "Sigh, this song is still lacking something."
"Huh? What's missing? I think your performance was already amazing. I'm under a lot of pressure now."
Gao Lichang stood by the lift platform, waiting to go on stage. He was the next contestant to appear.
Xu Yanyu snapped out of her daze, looked at Gao Lichang, and explained with a smile: "Actually, this song, 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style,' is a duet song between a man and a woman."
I only sang the female vocals, so I feel it's still a bit lacking.
Yes, without Zeng Yi's male vocal chorus, this song just isn't quite right.
Gao Lichang said with a smile, "Then when you release your album later, you can choose a male singer to collaborate with you."
"I'll take another look later."
Xu Yanyu stepped off the platform and gave her place to Gao Lichang.
Now is not the time for chatting, the host on stage has announced that Gao Lichang is next on stage.
"Okay, I'll go on stage first."
Gao Lichang gave a greeting, and then he rose up on the elevator platform.
Xiao Zhi, who had been standing next to Xu Yanyu, finally approached Xu Yanyu and said happily, "Teacher Xu, you did a great job just now."
Did you know? Everyone backstage thought your performance was the best of all the contestants.
Xu Yanyu asked curiously, "You guys really like this song?"
"It's not the song that's the problem, it's the atmosphere, and you sang it exceptionally well."
We even remarked that we never realized the sound quality of the station's audio system was so good before.
Xiaozhi didn't know how to explain it in a more reasonable way.
She also knew that there was a big contradiction in her words.
If the songs aren't good, how can you expect to feel that the atmosphere at the event is great?
But this truly reflects her genuine feelings.
Just then, Gao Lichang on stage began to sing.
Both of their attention turned to the stage.
I really miss you, especially when I'm drunk.
I understand that your departure was out of necessity.
But my dependence on you is an incurable poison.
I wonder if I'll ever meet you again in the next life.
...
After Gao Lichang sang only two lines, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but shake her head, "Why do all of Teacher Gao's songs sound like this? It's like you can guess the whole tune just by listening to the beginning."
“He chose the wrong song, and his voice isn’t suitable for singing it.” Xu Yanyu also thought it wouldn’t work.
She felt that Gao Lichang's song gave her a dull and stifling feeling.
Looking at the audience on stage, they were clearly also a bit irritated.
At first, everyone was staring at the stage, probably hoping that Gao Lichang could deliver a performance as breathtaking as the previous one.
However, Gao Lichang only sang a few lines before he had already exhausted the passion that Xu Yanyu had previously created.
This feels like it's stuck in the middle, and the audience is all looking down at their fingers.
Xiao Zhi sighed, "If Teacher Gao gets the same number of audience votes as before, he might be eliminated."
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. If the audience doesn't like it, we can't force them to support it." Xu Yanyu was also quite upset.
Gao Lichang is a decent person.
