The camera pans across the audience seats.

Every single face appearing on screen showed a hint of regret.

Xiwen smiled helplessly: "It seems everyone really wants to see more of the audition footage."

"To be honest, this is my first time watching this, and I'd also like to know how the auditions are going."

"But! The focus right now is still on the first part of the competition! Don't forget, this is the competition that will determine the seven champions of our first episode! It will be just as exciting!"

He paused here, his gaze inadvertently glancing at the audience below, and then his voice gradually rose:

"Next, please welcome our first guest to the stage!"

"Louis!"

The stage lights went out instantly.

Immediately, Louis's full name appeared on the big screen.

A figure appeared in the center of the stage via a rising platform.

A sudden, rapid string melody rang out.

The entire stadium was illuminated in red, and Louis, dressed in all black, stood under the spotlight.

The interplay of red and black is like a collision between solitude and passion.

The string music gradually softened, interspersed with the sound of drums.

Immediately following was a sudden rap performance by Louis.

The pronunciation is clear, and the rhythm and lyrics are very energetic.

With just one shout, Louis stunned everyone from the very beginning.

[His Korean rap was effortless; Louis was clearly well-prepared.]

[Isn't that obvious? Which guest didn't come prepared?]

[It's alright, Korean isn't actually that hard to learn]

[This rap is amazing, it's a real eye-opener!]

[So rap can actually be understood...]

……

"How are you feeling?" Chang Yun asked, turning his head.

Lu Wantang pointed to the active barrage of comments: "The eyes of the masses are discerning."

Aside from a few truly niche songs, if most people find a song pleasant to listen to, then it's a good song.

Even catchy melodies have their merits.

“That means Louis is indeed very capable.” Chang Yun said with mixed feelings. “This song seems to be a new song, and it seems that he wrote it himself.”

Although "West Continent Voice" is not a music creation program, singing your own songs will definitely be a plus for the judges.

"If I weren't strong enough, Richard wouldn't have invited me."

Lu Wantang comforted him, "The better the other guests are, the more guaranteed the show's ratings and reputation will be. Only when Chen Yubai stands on this stage will it not seem like he is a newcomer and lacks ability."

"That's true, but we didn't come here aiming for the championship?"

"Well, let's see how things go. We won't force it."

Lu Wantang explained: "In other people's eyes, Chen Yubai is comparable to the guest from another continent invited by the program next door. Based on my limited understanding of that program, their director will definitely not let the guest from another continent win in the end."

Therefore, it's not a big problem if Chen Yubai doesn't win the championship.

Upon hearing this, Chang Yun immediately understood and looked up: "Who are the guests invited by the program next door?"

"Some kind of preview video suddenly started playing, and I completely forgot to check what was going on with that show..."

Both programs are broadcast live, so the guests on those programs should have appeared on air as well.

Chang Yun muttered to himself as he opened Weibo's trending topics.

Tonight's trending topics list is destined to be 'unpredictable'.

One moment, Clementa, challenger singer Lin Zhihao, and others appeared at the top of the trending search list.

A moment later, a mystery guest from "Singer" appeared, with Cyril and others lined up in front.

He clicked directly into the topic of 'mystery guest'.

The Weibo post by "West Continent Singer" a few minutes ago was pinned to the top of the topic.

The Weibo post prominently revealed the identity of the mystery guest, along with promotional photos.

The woman in the photo tilts her head slightly, with long, black, curly hair, bright yet dreamy eyes, slightly parted red lips, and a slender, graceful figure. The sunlight seems to have gilded her with a layer of gold.

Upon seeing her face clearly, Chang Yun, while pleasantly surprised that he had guessed correctly, couldn't help but feel somewhat disheartened.

"It really is Qiao Xinyue."

"Speaking of which, Mo Huaichao and she are such good friends, did he not write songs for her, but instead wrote songs for Cyril?"

Lu Wantang didn't seem to care much: "Maybe he wrote two new songs."

Unlike here, where the director is a scoundrel, forcing the singers to prepare a huge number of songs to sing on stage.

By this time, Louise had finished singing.

The two judging panels have already voted and scored his performance.

Rosalyn has taken to the stage.

Judging from her outfit, she was clearly about to start singing and dancing.

Lu Wantang calmly remarked, "Some people claim to be extremely nervous, but they actually start singing and dancing right from the start."

"Pfft." Chang Yun burst out laughing.

A really nervous person wouldn't choose to sing and dance.

Dance moves can easily become messed up due to nervousness, which will affect singing as well.

"However, Rosalyn is indeed someone who has the potential to become a superstar. Her stage presence is outstanding, and her stage manner is excellent."

Rosalyn was singing a cover of a classic song at that moment.

The rhythm is brisk and lively.

Moreover, even though she was singing and dancing, her breathing was still very steady, which must have required a lot of hard work offstage.

Chang Yun immediately understood Lu Wantang's thoughts.

"Rosalyn is currently signed with a small company, so it's not difficult to sign her, but there's no guarantee that her value will increase after this episode, and she might be willing to wait for a higher offer."

"No rush," Lu Wantang said. "Let's take a look first."

You need to have the ability to wait for the best price to sell.

One great performance isn't enough.

Rosalyn's performance was equally impressive.

Not to mention Clement, who has the most extensive performance experience.

Cleefia sang a very challenging song with an extremely wide vocal range, as if announcing her return.

However, she drank water much more frequently after going offstage, which shows that singing such songs puts a lot of strain on her voice.

The metal band that came on next was surprisingly different from what the audience and fans expected; they didn't start with a heavy metal rock song but instead sang a pop song.

In response, viewers who knew them expressed their opinions—

[I definitely sound better singing pop songs]

[Why don't we give up heavy metal? Pop songs are so much better!]

Even audiences unfamiliar with them cheered for them as if they had discovered a hidden gem of a band.

In comparison, Sean, who was the fifth to appear, was somewhat less impressive.

It's not that he made any mistakes.

Rather, Sean might be too conservative, and the song he chose was also too predictable, making it seem rather unremarkable.

Dolly, who appeared sixth, is known for her versatile style.

This time, she chose a classic R&B love song.

She performed the cheerful and sweet lyrics and melody perfectly.

Many viewers unfamiliar with her recalled hearing one of Dolly's songs before.

Thus, the six groups of guests who were initially selected and confirmed have proven that Richard's judgment was spot on.

All eyes were on the last two names.
