Wang Xingrui listened very attentively. She knew very well that she should respect every contestant, no matter which country or region they came from.
"His voice is very good and free." Wang Xingrui commented seriously, and Su Yin and Tang Yue could only look at each other in admiration.
"However, given his appearance, I'm afraid it's hard for him to have fans outside of the black community," Wang Xingrui said bluntly. "The World Singer Contest essentially values the singer's popularity, and his appearance is holding him back."
"Ruirui, you can't say such things!" Tang Yue immediately showed an exaggerated expression when she heard it.
It was obvious that Tang Yue was joking:
"Be careful, people might accuse you of racism!"
Wang Xingrui helplessly explained, "Isn't this just an objective analysis? Look at the American competition. There are actually many very talented black singers. In the final four, there was only one black person, and he was mixed-race. His appearance is also quite good in the eyes of Chinese audiences."
"It seems so." Lin Xuan'er nodded. "There are a lot of people watching the show, but those willing to vote are mostly young people. And these young people, aside from the obvious, will definitely go for looks. That's perfectly normal."
After the four of them finished chatting, the black singer on the stage also ended his performance.
Although there were no audiences below the stage, he was still very happy, after all, he had left that terrible house.
"OK," it was still Zhou Yiyang's voice. He said softly, "The off-stage voting has been finalized. Please wait at the side of the stage. So who will grab the microphone next?"
The second spot was still very popular, not because everyone thought the black singer sang badly, but simply because everyone wanted to leave that shabby house.
The one who successfully grabbed the microphone this time was from the Southeast Asia region.
It is also considered the death zone by many people because there are many participants and active fans, but only one spot for advancement, which leads to many people being dissatisfied with the result.
The singer who came on stage is considered a national treasure-level female singer.
Her singing voice is quite beautiful, like a spring rain that moistens everything silently. When you first hear it, you can hardly perceive its lethality.
But when you listen to her songs repeatedly afterwards, you will be able to feel her singing skills and the beauty of the songs.
This time, even Yue Shao and the other three stood up excitedly.
Regardless of nationality, the female singer is their favorite.
The woman was wearing a red dress and walked onto the stage with her graceful figure twisting.
This time she chose a Chinese song.
Rose Rose I Love You
As an interlude in the movie "Miss Fish", this song was sung solo by Lin Xuaner and is considered the best retro single by many music critics.
However, this song is also very difficult to sing. Many people have covered this song in many talent shows, but ended up being eliminated due to poor performance.
Lin Xuan'er immediately sat up straight with an expectant expression.
The female singer's voice is charming and varied, and she has her own merits compared to Lin Xuaner's singing.
At this time, Yue Shao and the other three took out their trumpets and cast their precious votes for her.
After the female singer's performance, Zhou Yiyang actually announced the number of votes for the two.
"Congratulations, you are safe for now. As for the other contestant, unfortunately, you will have to leave this stage."
Less than twenty minutes into the show, the black singer failed in his attempt to revive himself and left the stage.
For a while, the tight schedule once again aroused netizens' strong interest in this game.
In the performances that followed, the Latin American, European, and Russian regions all made their appearances.
Unfortunately, they all failed.
Due to this coincidence, netizens suddenly discovered that the singers in the third-level competition area had finished their performances.
Can the remaining five singers prove that their region is indeed stronger?
"Could this order of grabbing the microphones have been arranged by Brother Yang?" Tang Yue couldn't help but wonder, "This is too dramatic."
"It shouldn't be. This is a live broadcast." Wang Xingrui shook her head: "It's just too much of a coincidence."
As soon as he finished speaking, the singer from the Chinese region successfully grabbed the microphone.
The four of them immediately became excited. This was their teammate who had fought side by side with them. They would definitely vote for her later.
However, a few minutes later, when Zhou Yiyang announced the results, everyone was shocked. She actually lost.
"To be honest, if we just talk about singing, the other one does sing better," Wang Xingrui said truthfully.
"But didn't you analyze it before?" Tang Yue asked doubtfully, "This vote is based on popularity within the region. If all the viewers in the Chinese region voted for her, she couldn't lose."
"This proves one thing: even the audience in the Chinese region don't vote solely based on nationality." Lin Xuan'er's expression must have been gratified. She always believed that a music program should be pure. "Instead, everyone really voted based on who sang better."
"There's another reason," Su Yin whispered, "These two singers don't have many die-hard fans, so their votes are ultimately more influenced by passers-by."
This result surprised the Southeast Asian female singer.
However, her good luck did not last long, as a British band that followed her beat her.
As the only team in the resurrection match, not many people were optimistic about this British band before.
But unexpectedly, they are quite popular.
At this time, Tang Yue pouted: "This result is quite reasonable. Don't you find that everyone in this band is handsome? I thought it was a boy band at first!"
This British band defeated contestants from Korea and the United States and finally met their opponents.
At this time, some people couldn't help but question the competition system.
Being the last one to appear gives you a bigger advantage. You only need to defeat one person to advance.
However, this statement did not gain many supporters. After all, everyone understood that if he wanted to defeat the British band, his votes must be the highest tonight.
"I'm quite impressed with this guy," Lin Xuan'er suddenly said. "He debuted in a boy band in Korea. He returned to China as a solo artist a year later."
"I remember now, everyone in Goryeo was scolding him during that time! After returning to China, he was indeed very popular. I always thought he could advance as the first place in the Japanese region!" Su Yin whispered.
"It seems like he was exposed for some negative news before the finals, and he lost because of his poor performance." Tang Yue knew all the gossip like the back of her hand. "If he had advanced, then at least four groups of artists would have been affected by his idol."
This melancholic male singer once again chose to sing quietly this time.
Although he is an idol, he is actually a graduate of a professional singing school and has excellent singing skills.
In the end, he crushed the British band with nearly double the votes and became the lucky winner of the resurrection match.
