Chapter 678, Part 1 (End)
As always, Xiao Liu lacked tact and broke the silence bluntly:
"Brother Chen, your chances of getting first place have become negative."
Originally, if Cleefia made a mistake, and if Louise and Rosalin didn't perform well on stage, Chen Yubai would still have had a chance to "snatch" the opportunity.
Louis is now playing exceptionally well.
All remaining opportunities are gone.
Chen Yubai twitched his lips, but didn't voice his guess.
—His probability of winning first place in this episode was already infinitely close to zero, so saying it's negative now seems to make sense.
Liang Mei thought he was feeling down, so she went up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke in a rare gentle tone:
"You're still a newcomer, so it's understandable to fail once or twice occasionally. Don't overthink it. It's more important to look forward than to the games that are already over."
Xiao Liu glanced sideways: "I thought Sister Liang would say 'serves you right'..."
Before the assistant could finish speaking, Liang Mei glared at her and silenced her.
Just then, Chang Yun came looking for them.
"I thought you were in that big lounge, why are you still in your own lounge? Have you become withdrawn?"
"I'm not autistic." To avoid being misunderstood, Chen Yubai quickly explained, "I was just marveling at how well Louis sang this song. If his first song was this good, I wouldn't even be able to hold onto second place."
"Everyone has their moments of brilliance."
Chang Yun stood in front of him. "I'm here to deliver a message. President Lu said that the songs you chose tonight are all very suitable—"
Upon hearing this, all four people, including Chen Yubai himself, were surprised.
Chang Yun gave a brief explanation, and then gave instructions on how to deal with the media.
Chen Yubai did not return to the lounge where the guests were gathered until Rosalyn took the stage.
Cleefia, Sean, and the others all cast concerned glances at him.
Knowing they had misunderstood something, Chen Yubai couldn't explain, so he could only smile and try to appear relaxed.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was quickly drawn to the large screen in the lounge.
The dense drumbeats set the rhythm, and the melody, a combination of various instruments, sounded like a battle song.
The stage lights came on with Rosalyn's footsteps.
Wearing a black leather crop top and cargo pants, with silver chains as accessories, and strands of silver thread in her flowing hair, Rosalyn's cool and stylish look drew cheers from the audience.
What's most eye-catching is the pair of high heels she's wearing, which are at least 20 centimeters high.
"Rosalind is going all out!"
"This song seems to be the first time I've heard it."
"Queen-like demeanor."
All eyes in the lounge were on Rosalyn.
The verses are set up with narrative melodies.
The song has a strong rhythm and an urban feel.
Based on popular melodies, it blends electronic beats, hip-hop rap, and other elements with progressively unfolding emotions, making it incredibly infectious.
The chorus is also very fast-paced, constantly circling in the high register, and can hardly stop for a moment.
Rosalyn, however, had to incorporate several dance moves while maintaining a steady breath.
Such a performance is highly entertaining.
But those who have actually sung on stage and worked as singers and dancers can better understand how difficult it is for Rosalin to sing like that.
Dolly, a typical 'singing and dancing' singer among the guests, kept praising:
"Rosalyn is really amazing!"
Countless people are eagerly anticipating the emergence of yet another legendary stage.
Many people believe that Rosalind might have the ability to go toe-to-toe with Louis's extraordinary performance.
But just then, Rosalyn slipped.
The singing suddenly stopped.
No one was able to react in time.
Fortunately, Rosalyn was already used to high heels and managed to control her body in time, preventing herself from falling due to inertia.
Unfortunately, the mistake had already been made.
Everyone, especially Dolly, couldn't help but feel sorry for Rosalind.
Why are there so many unexpected problems in the third round of the competition?
[Is Rosalyn having a run of bad luck tonight? She got the lowest score in the first round because of her bad order of appearance, and then, after finally performing exceptionally well, she almost fell over?!]
[Thank goodness this is a ranking tournament; otherwise, if I were eliminated like this, I'd be devastated and might regret it for the rest of my life.]
[It's just a two-line pause, it shouldn't be considered a major mistake, right?]
[It's such a pity; a god-like performance like that can't be created anytime, anywhere.]
Rosalyn's styling team needs a replacement; dressing her in such high heels looks unsafe.
[I was enjoying the listen so much, this is such a spoilsport!]
[Thankfully I didn't fall, otherwise I might have ended up in the hospital before the show even ended.]
[Now I'm in the same boat as Cleifia]
……
With her previous performance as a foundation, almost no one thought Rosalyn was not strong enough.
Most people only felt regret.
After the voting period ended, Xiwen invited the other guests back onto the stage.
"The final part of the competition has come to a successful conclusion."
"Our final rankings will be announced soon."
Xiwen paused here.
"If this weren't a live stream, we should insert a commercial break now."
The joke was met with boos from the audience.
"It seems that nobody likes ads that appear at crucial moments."
"Now, let's directly announce the 'results' of the third part of the competition."
"They will be revealed in the order of their appearance."
"The first one, metal band."
The four band members each took a step forward.
"This representative work of doom metal possesses a unique charm, and the band's performance brings that charm to its fullest expression. So, its final vote count and score are—"
Xiwen kept everyone in suspense once again.
He glanced at the live ratings. "The ratings have reached 13.6%. It seems everyone is very curious about the outcome of the match."
His unhurried tone made those waiting for the 'answer' extremely impatient.
The screen was filled with urging comments.
Xiwen coughed lightly, "In order to avoid angering the public, I have to announce the results quickly."
After he finished speaking, his voice synchronized with the data displayed on the large screen:
"The votes for the metal band in the third round of the competition are—"
"398."
"The score is—"
"8.8."
The results were better this time compared to the first round.
This shows that the metal band is performing consistently well.
Dolly was the second to step forward.
She received 403 votes and scored 8.6.
Compared with the data from the first round, all data showed improvement.
The third person to release data was Sean.
He received 407 votes and scored 8.8 points.
This result is not surprising.
After all, Shawn's performance in the third round was remarkable.
"Fourth, Clephia."
When it was Clement's turn, the atmosphere became even more tense.
Everyone knew that Clementia had made a mistake.
So, will the judging panel ignore that mistake, continue voting and giving a high score, or will they be very concerned and let Clephia's data in this round of the competition plummet?
