Su Can finished singing "Father," a song full of sincerity and deep emotion.
Teacher He Ling came to the front of the stage.
"CanCan, we see many netizens sharing their stories about their fathers in the comments. What would you like to say?"
Su Can smiled and said, "No!"
He Ling: "..."
[Teacher He: I was careless at the time!]
My idol tries his best to make me laugh every day!
[There's nothing wrong with that, just sing, why do you have to make awkward small talk?]
[Everything CanCan wanted to express is in the song.]
[Teacher He, it's time to test your hosting skills!]
Teacher He: "Cancan is right! As the saying goes, great love is unspoken! Father's love is like a mountain, tall and deep; mother's love is like water, gentle and broad! Parents' care is silent, yet omnipresent..."
Su Can smiled and said, "That's right, everything I wanted to say is in the song."
Thunderous applause!
[Teacher He once again demonstrated his god-like ability to save the day!]
[Only Teacher He can withstand Su Can's ultimate move!]
[Zhang Xiaoxiao's inner monologue: I was terrified at the time, but after looking closely, I realized I was on the variety show next door. Thank goodness!]
[Hilarious! Does that other variety show even have viewership anymore? I see the number of comments has dropped by four-fifths!]
[Only those who were willing to give up have real fighting power. Su Can led a few popular players away, and there's no one left who can fight!]
He Ling: "Please give your comments, mentors."
Deng Xiaochao: "Su Can once again showed me the diversity of the world. I'm wondering, how can there be such an amazing person as you? In terms of creative talent, you're like someone born in Rome..."
The comments section disagreed.
Be confident, and drop the "creative talent" part!
Su Can is basically the male lead in a wish-fulfillment novel!
[Chaozi, if you keep talking like this, Cancan will have no choice but to tell you the story of his second grandfather!]
Su Can: "Thank you, teacher."
Ning Jing: "Your singing is so moving!"
Deng Xiaochao: Really? Sister Jing?
Ning Jing: "It's true, I almost burst into tears just now. The song made my nose tingle, the lyrics were so vivid..."
The remaining three mentors also showered Su Can with compliments.
Deng Xiaochao added, "Actually, I feel that the most admirable thing about Su Can is that he doesn't pander to popular tastes! He always does what he wants to do and what he believes is right, which is truly commendable!"
Teacher He chimed in: "That's right! The entertainment industry is a place where it's too easy for people to become impetuous. On such a stage that creates idols, Cancan didn't take shortcuts by choosing some sweet songs. Instead, she used this performance opportunity to sing about family-related themes. This is very commendable. Shall we give Cancan some encouragement?"
The applause erupted once again, like thunder, almost lifting the roof off the studio.
The voting rules for this round are as follows: each mentor's vote counts as twenty votes, and the maximum number of votes is one hundred.
Two hundred members of the public jury were seated at the scene, and each vote counted as one vote.
The votes from the mentors and the audience jury determine whether a contestant advances or is eliminated.
The votes of the off-site audience determine whether a contestant is eligible for a revival.
The voting results appeared on the big screen.
Su Can received a perfect score from the mentor panel, but not a perfect score from the audience jury, which was 286 votes.
He Ling: "Let me ask the audience members who didn't vote for Can Can, what was the reason?"
One of the girls, with short hair, took the microphone.
"Although this song is very touching, I think it is too understated on the stage of an idol talent show. If Cancan performed it in the style of 'Compendium of Materia Medica', I would give her a vote!"
He Ling asked with a smile, "Are you nitpicking?"
The girl shook her head: "No, I know Cancan will definitely advance, but I have higher expectations for him!"
He Ling clapped: "Well said! Not only you, but all of us have high expectations for Can Can, and we believe that Can Can will bring us more surprises. Thank you, Can Can!"
Su Can left the stage.
Yanhe, a contestant from Class B, is taking the stage.
His performance was quite good, which attracted everyone's attention.
Yan and I feel she has good potential; with some training, she should be quite promising!
[She has a sunny smile, which is my type!]
[It's much sweeter than any candy!]
[Candy, I'm pregnant!]
It was quite awkward, as the next person to go on stage happened to be Lu Ziye, a member of the Candy is Sweet group.
Actually, this player is quite skilled, but the company's approach to developing him is flawed.
Instead of focusing on singing and dancing training, they put their energy into acting like a cute puppy and being adorable, which shocked netizens!
This time, Lu Ziye's voice cracked on stage again, and he even fell while dancing.
Ning Jing was the only mentor to receive a sympathy vote.
Ning Jing: "You should know that your performance was terrible! I couldn't bear to see you get no votes. In fact, your performance was unacceptable!"
Lu Ziye said sadly, "Thank you, teacher!"
Deng Xiaochao: "The competition is brutal. I hope you will strengthen your self-discipline, not slack off, and not focus your energy on other unimportant things..."
Lu Ziye only received one vote from the mentor, totaling twenty votes, and thirty-five votes from the audience jury, for a total of fifty-five votes.
With red eyes and a pout, he left the stage, looking aggrieved.
Deng Xiaochao couldn't stand it anymore.
"I want to remind all the athletes once again that the competition is brutal. You must have a strong mentality and, more importantly, superb skills. I don't want to see this happen again..."
[Chao Zi is devastated!]
I don't want to see the world's injustices anymore!
