Chapter 95: Chapter 92 Whose Advantage Is This? (Large Chapter, Subscribe Requested)

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Jingdong’s cell phone rang.

After answering the call, he turned his head and said, ”Let’s head over. There are just three more people before it’s your turn!”

Xiao Fei quietly sighed in relief: ”...Yeah.”

The two of them got out of the car and headed towards the stage.

Zhang Jingdong paid the remaining 3000 yuan to the person who held the spot, who then gave up the position to Xiao Fei.

Although some people around didn’t approve, once they saw Zhang Jingdong’s generous spending just for that spot, they kept quiet. After all, money talks.

At that moment on stage, a girl in a micro mini skirt introduced herself briefly, then sang SHE’s ”Beautiful New World”.

However, she was off-key from the first line.

While she was singing halfway, the three judges couldn’t bear it anymore, so they all showed the ”X,” signaling her to leave the stage.

The next two contestants completed their performances but neither managed to receive three ”√,” so they didn’t advance either.

Now, it was Xiao Fei’s turn to take the stage.

Because of the nerves, her normally fair lovely face had turned somewhat red.

She unconsciously glanced at Zhang Jingdong.

To her surprise, Zhang Jingdong gently said, ”Forget everything, just go and express yourself. Regardless of the result, I believe in your capability!”

Perhaps because she had never seen Zhang Jingdong being so considerate, Xiao Fei instantly relaxed: ”Got it, I know!”

Then she stepped onto the stage.

As soon as Xiao Fei appeared on stage, a wave of commotion swept through the audience.

Though it was a female talent show, quite a few men who came for the excitement were present since places with beautiful women seldom lacked men.

Although some great beauties appeared on stage earlier, compared to the one currently on stage, they seemed like social media influencers meeting a movie star, both in terms of looks and aura; they were completely overshadowed.

Then, Xiao Fei approached the microphone. Before she even started introducing herself, those men spontaneously started applauding for the first time.

A few particularly excited ones even shouted out.

”Goddess, I love you...”

”You’re so beautiful, goddess!”

This immediately livened up the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the female contestants still queuing up, especially those who were pre-selected, suddenly felt a huge pressure.

After the crowd quieted down again, Xiao Fei confidently said, ”Hello judges, and good morning to everyone present here—audience and fellow contestants. My name is Xiao Fei, a college student. Let me sing ’If the Clouds Knew’ for you all.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the audience erupted again with applause and cheers.

Her voice and poise were amazing compared to the majority of the contestants who struggled to speak clearly due to nerves during their introductions; her performance felt utterly professional.

Poised, confident, unflustered.

After the venue quieted down once more, Xiao Fei slightly prepared herself and then began her performance:

Once love freezes,

Everything becomes so calm.

Once tears run out,

Only determination remains.

...

Hearing just the beginning, although the audience’s reaction wasn’t very strong yet, Zhang Jingdong already knew that Xiao Fei had aced her performance today.

Because handling the introductory part of a song actually shows a singer’s true capability more than the climax.

In other words, if the introduction is handled well, there generally won’t be any issues with the climax of the song.

But if someone only knows how to sing high notes and doesn’t master the introduction, it makes the whole song feel disjointed, as if the singer is only showing off technique without achieving the basic emotional expression of the song.

The three judges also clearly recognized Xiao Fei’s talent, but their faces didn’t show smiles, rather they all looked troubled.

Because Xiao Fei wasn’t on their pre-selected list.

In other words, no matter how well Xiao Fei sang, they would eliminate her later.

This audition had two objectives: one was to ensure the pre-chosen singers advanced smoothly.

The other was to select several participants of average ability as cannon fodder for the national elimination round, where the pre-chosen singers would then knock off this fodder with superior capability and naturally gain the rankings.

Therefore, someone as skilled as Xiao Fei obviously wasn’t meant to be cannon fodder. If she made it to the elimination round, she would definitely become a dark horse, completely disrupting the company’s plan.

So, a talent like her had to be eliminated in the audition phase.

However, the judges found it difficult because Xiao Fei’s performance was too strong, and she had just received support from the audience, so they struggled to find a reason to eliminate her later.

As the judges were conflicted, Xiao Fei finally reached the climax of the song:

If the clouds knew,

The nights I longed for you, slowly enduring,

Each second of missing you,

Each shout, each second.

...

At this point, the audience, which had quieted down somewhat, instantly reignited!

Xiao Fei’s high notes were not only stable, but her vibrato was exquisitely delicate and full of emotion.

Many people in the audience got goosebumps, mainly because they had never heard such an impressive live singing!

And even Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but think this girl was truly born for this career!

With that appearance, that figure, and her solid singing skills... Wow, if managed properly, her future was boundless!

The judges were now completely in a dilemma.

Either offend the sponsors or the live audience.
